Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Audit and Retirement Committees, Administrator, and the Participants of the Ennis, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) of the Ennis, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) of the Plan as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the changes in net assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) for the year ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 2.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Basis of Accounting
We draw attention to Note 2 of the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Supplemental Information
The supplemental information contained in the schedule of assets (held at end of year) (modified cash basis) has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Note 1 - Plan Description
The following description of the Ennis, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Ennis, Inc. (the “Company”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).
The Plan was formed February 1, 1994 and has been restated to conform with ERISA and IRC regulations. The Plan is sponsored and administered by the Company, acting by and through the Retirement Committee. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Plan’s assets were held by Matrix Trust Company and by BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), respectively. The Plan's record-keeper is One American Retirement Services LLC ("OARS").
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act contained several provisions that temporarily impacted 401(k) plans, such as the waiver of required minimum distributions, a new hardship withdrawal option, increased loan limits, and a loan payment deferral option. The Company has incorporated these provisions into the Plan. See further discussion in Note 1.
Eligibility
Employees age 18 and older of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan and receive matching contributions the first of the month after completing 60 days of service, as defined by the Plan.
Employees are eligible to receive discretionary profit-sharing contributions, if granted, after completing 1,000 hours within their first 12 months of service.
Contributions
Participants may make voluntary contributions to the Plan ranging from 1% to 100% of eligible pay subject to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) annual limitations. The Plan allows catch-up contributions (within the meaning of Section 414(v) of the IRC) for participants who have reached age 50 by the end of the plan year. The Plan also allows rollovers of distributions from other qualified plans.
The Company makes discretionary matching contributions at a rate determined by the Plan Sponsor for certain employees not enrolled in the Pension Plan for the Employees of Ennis, Inc. The total matching contributions are not to exceed $2,500, or discretionary employer contributions.
Eligibility for employer contributions depends on the participant’s employment location as defined in the Plan document. The Plan automatically enrolls all newly eligible participants into the Plan at a 4% deferral rate.
In addition, each year, the Company may at its discretion, make profit sharing contributions for the plan year not to exceed certain limitations prescribed by the IRC. During 2021, the Company declared a discretionary profit-sharing contribution of $149,000 on behalf of the employees of Northstar Computer Forms, Inc. in accordance with its original plan. This contribution was contributed to the Plan in 2022. During 2021, the Company contributed $176,000 which was declared in 2020.

Note 1 - Plan Description – (Continued)
Participant accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, any employer contributions, and Plan earnings or losses and is reduced for any benefit payments and administrative expenses. Plan earnings or losses are allocated to each participant's account based on the ratio of the participant's account balance and share of net earnings or losses of their respective investment options. Allocations are determined in accordance with the benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested interest in his or her account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their salary deferrals, rollover contributions, and employer matching contributions. Profit sharing contributions vest over a 5-year graded vesting schedule as defined in the Plan document. Special vesting schedules ranging from 3 to 6 years apply to certain employees based on their location as defined in the Plan document.
Notes receivable from participants
Under provisions of the Plan, participants are allowed to borrow from their Plan accounts. The maximum amount that a participant may borrow is the lesser of (i) 50% of their total vested account balance or (ii) $50,000 less the highest loan balance outstanding. Note repayments are made in equal installments through payroll deductions generally over a term not to exceed five years. All notes are considered a directed investment from the participant’s Plan account with all payments of principal and interest credited to the participant’s account. A maximum number of one outstanding note is allowed per individual. The minimum note is $1,000 and there is a $100 set-up fee payable for each note. The interest rate is determined based on the prime rate as determined by the Plan’s trustee plus 1%.
As permitted by the CARES Act, the Plan allowed eligible participants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to suspend loan repayments with due dates on or after March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, loans were re-amortized and payments recommenced.
Payment of benefits
Upon termination of service, financial hardship, retirement, or disability, the participant or their beneficiary has the option to withdraw qualified amounts up to the participant’s vested account balance. A participant may elect to
withdraw all or a portion of their vested account balance while employed after reaching age 59 ½.
The Plan allowed eligible participants who were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to request penalty-free distributions of up to $100,000 without penalty during 2020. The distributions are repayable to the Plan within three years. In addition, the required minimum distributions were waived for the 2020 calendar year and resumed for the 2021 calendar year.
On December 20, 2019, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act was signed into law. The age requirement for minimum distributions was raised to 72 from 70-1/2, for any participant who turned 70-1/2 on or after January 1, 2020.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses which are not paid by the Plan Sponsor are paid by the Plan.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting and present the
net assets available for benefits and changes in those net assets. Consequently, certain additions and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned and certain deductions are recognized when paid rather than when the obligations is incurred. The modified cash basis of accounting is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions to net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See Note 5 for discussion of significant estimates used to measure investments.
Investments valuation and income recognition
Participants may direct the allocation of amounts deferred to the available investment options. Provisions of the Plan allow participant contributions in 1% increments to be invested in any of the available options. The Plan provides for investments in a guaranteed investment contract (“GIC”), pooled-separate accounts (including a Company stock fund), and mutual funds. The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). See Note 4 for further discussion of fair value of investments.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the cash basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year.
Notes receivable from participants
Notes receivable from participants are recorded at their unpaid principal balance. Interest income is recorded on a cash basis and any related fees are recorded as administrative expenses when incurred. An allowance for credit losses is not necessary as the notes are collateralized by the participants’ account balance. Delinquent notes from participants are reclassified as distributions based upon provision of the Plan document. Participant loans are considered delinquent if any payment of principal and interest, or any portion thereof, remains unpaid for more than 90 days after due.
Benefits paid to participants
Benefits paid to participants are recorded as a reduction of net assets available for benefits when paid. For all employees who have terminated with an account balance between $1,000 and $5,000, the Plan Administrator has the right to automatically rollover the balance to an individual retirement plan designated by the Administrator, at the expense of the Plan. For terminated employees with a vested account balance less than $1,000, a check will be issued to the participant.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures may be used to reduce future employer contributions or to pay administrative expenses. The Plan did not use unvested amounts to pay administrative expenses in the current year. See Note 3.
-6-
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)
Subsequent events
Management of the Plan evaluates events and transactions occurring subsequent to the date of the financial statements for matters requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The accompanying financial statements consider events through June 24, 2022, the date which the financial statements were issued.
Risks and uncertainties
The Plan and its participants invest in various investment securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur at any given time, and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
Note 3 - Nonparticipant-Directed Investments
Information about the net assets and the significant components of the changes in net assets relating to the nonparticipant-directed investments is as follows:

Note 4 - Investments in Insurance Contracts
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Plan maintained a GIC investment option, the MassMutual SAGIC Diversified II Account with Matrix Trust and BMO (“Investment Contract”), respectively, which is considered a traditional investment contract. The underlying investment options of this contract is considered to be fully benefit-responsive as described in FASB ASC Topic 962 (“ASC 962”), Plan-Accounting-Defined Contribution Pension Plans, and therefore are reported at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because this is the amount received by participants if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value represents contributions made under each contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.
The contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and interest at a specified interest rate that is guaranteed by the Plan. The crediting rate is based on a formula established by the contract issuer but may not be less than 1%. The crediting rate is reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting.
-7-
Note 4 - Investments in Insurance Contracts - (Continued)
The determination of credited interest rates, as determined by the service provider, reflects a number of factors, including mortality and expense risks, interest rate guarantees, the investment income earned on invested assets and the amortization of any capital gains and/or losses realized on the sale of invested assets. A market value adjustment may apply to amounts withdrawn at the request of the contract holder.
The underlying contract has no restrictions on the use of Plan assets and there are no valuation reserves recorded to adjust contract amounts.
Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include the following: (i) amendments to the Plan documents (including complete or partial plan termination or merger with another plan); (ii) changes to the Plan’s prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions; or (iii) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. The Plan Administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such value event, which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable.
The Investment Contract does not permit the Custodian to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date.
Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. This framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. |
Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
| Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
| Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or |
| Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
-8-
Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements - (Continued)
A description of the valuation methodologies used for Plan assets measured at fair value is as follows:
Guaranteed investment contract: Fair value is the amount plan participants would receive currently if they were to withdraw or transfer funds within the Plan prior to their maturity for an event other death, disability, termination or retirement. This fair value represents contract value adjusted to reflect current market interest rates only to the extent such market rates exceed crediting rates.
Mutual funds: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the Fund is traded.
Pooled separate accounts (including the Company stock fund): Valued at the net asset value ("NAV") of shares held by the Plan at year end.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value as of:

The Plan’s investments in pooled separate accounts of $132,485,209 and $122,900,749 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are valued, as a practical expedient, based on the Custodian’s Plan NAV of units held at year-end. The calculated NAV is directly related to the NAV of the underlying investments adjusted for dividends or distributions received by the Custodian and the daily equivalent of any fees charged. The investments held by each pooled separate account are traded on an active market.

market expectations. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of equity securities with relatively smaller
capitalizations as compared to the overall U.S. market.
j) The fund seeks to deliver capital appreciation through investing in value-oriented common stocks of small sized
U.S. companies similar in size, at the same time of purchase, to those in the Russell 2000 Value Index. The
strategy is benchmarked to the Russell 2000 Value Index.

Note 6 - Plan Termination
Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right under the Plan document to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
Note 7 - Tax Status of Plan
The Plan has obtained its latest determination letter dated March 31, 2014, in which the IRS stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan’s administrator and management believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2021, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the Plan’s financial statements. The IRS generally has the ability to examine Plan activity for up to three years.
Note 8 - Parties-in-Interest
Certain plan investments at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were managed by the Custodian. The Custodians and OARS acts as the trustee and record-keeper, respectively as defined by the Plan document, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan also invests in a Company common stock fund, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
