Digital Sales Growth Drives Courier’s Positive Revenue Results

The book manufacturing segment focuses on three markets: education, religion, and specialty trade. Sales to the education market totaled $31 million in the fourth quarter, comparable to a year earlier. Education sales were $98 million, down 3 percent from fiscal 2011, due to shorter run lengths in certain college textbooks and continued weakness in elementary and high school sales. Sales to the religious market were up 6 percent to $19 million in the quarter, and up 2 percent to $68 million for the full year.
