The annual letter is the one document shareholders keep. Set on US Letter with Playfair Display headings, a Merriweather body and a considered forest green, this template borrows the gravitas of the great shareholder letters — long-measure paragraphs for narrative, restrained tables for the record.
Write the year in Markdown — the narrative up front, the numbers where they support it, the outlook to close. Inkrun sets it with the same typographic discipline every year, so the 2026 letter sits on a shelf next to 2025's as a matched set. The words change; the standard doesn't.
# 2026 Annual Letter to Shareholders **Northwind Holdings** · March 2026 To our shareholders, Book value per share grew **14.2%** in 2026, against 9.8% for our benchmark. More important than the number is how it was earned: no leverage added, no accounting changes, one business sold because we no longer understood its economics. ## The operating businesses Our logistics group had its best year since acquisition. Volume grew modestly; margin grew meaningfully — the pattern we prize, because it comes from process rather than pricing. | Segment | Revenue | Op. margin | vs 2025 | | ---------- | ------- | ---------- | ------- | | Logistics | $412M | 18.4% | +2.1pp | | Components | $268M | 11.2% | +0.4pp | | Software | $95M | 24.0% | +3.6pp | ## Mistakes We held the components inventory build too long into the downcycle. The cost was roughly $9M — a tuition bill, and we record it here so we remember paying it. ## Looking forward We enter 2027 with more cash than ideas, which history suggests is the safer imbalance. **J. R. Whitfield, Chairman**
