2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods reported and of our financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet have been included.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cimpress N.V.,plc, its wholly owned subsidiaries, entities in which we maintain a controlling financial interest, and those entities in which we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Operating results Investments in entities in which we cannot exercise significant influence, and for which the three and six months ended December 31, 2017related equity securities do not have a readily determinable fair value, are not necessarily indicative ofincluded in other assets on the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2018 or for any other period. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2017 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all ofsheets; otherwise the information and notes requiredinvestments are recognized by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017applying equity method accounting. Our equity method investments are included in our Annual Reportother assets on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAPU.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe our most significant estimates are associated with the ongoing evaluation of the recoverability of our long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated useful lives of assets, share-based compensation, accounting for business combinations, and income taxes and related valuation allowances, among others. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Noncontrolling interests held by third parties in consolidated subsidiaries are considered mandatorily redeemable when they are subject to an unconditional obligation to be redeemed by both parties. The redeemable noncontrolling interest must be required to be repurchased on a specified date or on the occurrence of a specified event that is certain to occur and $20,226 foris to be redeemed via the threetransfer of assets.

During the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2023, the exercise of put options by the minority shareholders of three PrintBrothers businesses to redeem a portion of their equity interests triggered a mandatory redemption feature for the remaining minority interests after exercise. As such, we issued supplemental performance share unit awardsreclassified the remaining minority equity interests from redeemable noncontrolling interest to certain membersmandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest, which is presented as part of management.

Marketable Securities
We hold certain investments that are classified as held-to-maturity as we have the intent and ability to hold them to their maturity dates. Our policy is to invest in the following permitted classes of assets: overnight money market funds invested in U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, bank time deposits, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, and medium term notes. We invest in securities with a remaining maturity of two years or less. As the Cimpress share price) contained in our standard performance share units, these supplemental awards also contain a multi-year financial performance condition. The evaluation of achievement of the

performance condition is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and, therefore, is subject to mark-to-market accounting throughout the three year performance vesting period. The compensation expense for these awards is estimated at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and compensation costsinvestments are classified as held-to-maturity, they are recorded only ifat amortized cost and interest income is recorded as it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. We have concluded that the performance condition is currently probable of achievement and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized $4,310 of share-based compensation expense. earned within interest expense, net.
We will continue to reassessassess our securities for impairment when the probability each reporting periodfair value is less than amortized cost to determine if any risk of credit loss exists. As our intent is to hold the securities to maturity, we must assess whether any credit losses related to our investments are recoverable and determine if it is more likely than not that we determinewill be required to sell the awards aresecurity before recovery of its amortized cost basis. We did not probable at some pointrecord an allowance for credit losses and we recognized no impairments for these marketable securities during the performance vesting period we would reverse any expense recognized to date.three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Net IncomeLoss Per Share Attributable to Cimpress N.V.plc
Basic net incomeloss per share attributable to Cimpress N.V.plc is computed by dividing net incomeloss attributable to Cimpress N.V.plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net incomeloss per share attributable to Cimpress N.V.plc gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including share options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), restricted share awards ("RSAs")warrants, and performance share units ("PSUs"), if

the effect of the securities is dilutive using the treasury stock method. Awards with performance or market conditions are included using the treasury stock method only if the conditions would have been met as of the end of the reporting period and their effect is dilutive.

Waltham Lease Arrangement
In July 2013,(2) On May 1, 2020, we executedentered into a lease agreement to movefinancing arrangement with Apollo Global Management, Inc., which included 7-year warrants with a strike price of $60 that have a potentially dilutive impact on our Lexington, Massachusetts, USA operations to a then yet to be constructed facility in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA. Duringweighted average shares outstanding. For the first quarter of fiscal 2016,three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the building was completed and we commenced lease payments in September 2015 and will make lease payments through September 2026.
For accounting purposes, we were deemed to be the ownerweighted average anti-dilutive effect of the Waltham building duringwarrants was 1,055,377 shares in both periods, and 103,443 and 264,963 shares for the construction period,three and accordingly we recorded the construction project costs incurred by the landlord as an asset with a corresponding financing obligation on our balance sheet. We evaluated the Waltham lease in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and determined that the transaction did not meet the criteria for "sale-leaseback" treatment due to our planned subleasing activity over the term of the lease. Accordingly, we began depreciating the asset and incurring interest expense related to the financing obligation recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. We bifurcate the lease payments pursuant to the Waltham lease into (i) a portion that is allocated to the building and (ii) a portion that is allocated to the land on which the building was constructed. The portion of the lease obligations allocated to the land is treated as an operating lease that commenced in fiscal 2014.

Property, plant and equipment, net, included $113,985 and $116,045 as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, related to the building. The financing lease obligation and deferred rent credit related to the building on our consolidated balance sheets was $117,307 and $119,176 as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.
Treasury Shares
Treasury shares are accounted for using the cost method and are included as a component of shareholders' equity.

Adopted Accounting Standards Adopted

In October 2016,December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes2022-06 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers848) - Deferral of Assets Other Than Inventory"the Sunset Date of Topic 848" (ASU 2016-16)2022-06), which requiresextends the recognitionoptional transition relief to ease the potential burden in accounting for income tax consequencesreference rate reform on financial reporting. The transition relief is provided through December 30, 2024 based on the expectation that the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) will cease to be published as of June 30, 2023. We applied the transition guidance to our two Term SOFR interest rate swap contracts this quarter and will apply the guidance when updating existing interest rate swap contracts to index to a replacement rate. There was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements in the periods presented.

In May 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-04 "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)" (ASU 2021-04), which provides authoritative guidance for the accounting treatment of contracts in an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventoryentity's own equity when the transfer occurs.calculating earnings per share. We elected to early adopt the new standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and recognized a reduction to prepaid and other current assets of $24,573, an increase in deferred tax assets of $18,710 and a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $5,863. If we had not early adopted the forecasted fiscal 2018 tax expense would be lower by $9,787.standard on July 1, 2022. We recognize freestanding equity-classified warrants on our consolidated balance sheet and as the standard is applied prospectively, there was no impact on our consolidated financial statements in the current period.


Issued Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In August 2017,September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Topic 815),2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)" (ASU 2017-12)2022-04), which better aligns a company’s financial reportingprovides authoritative guidance for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities.expanded disclosure requirements for supply chain finance programs. The amendmentstandard is effective for us on July 1, 2019 and permits early2023. Cimpress businesses have an active supply chain finance program which will require additional disclosure after adoption including adoption in an interim period. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach, in which the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption. We do not expect this standard to have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)," (ASU 2017-09), which clarifies the application of Topic 718 when accounting for changes in the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. The new standard requires changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award to be accounted for under modification accounting unless there is no change to the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the award after modification. The amendment is effective for us on July 1, 2018 and permits early adoption. The amendment is to be applied prospectively, and we are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash" (ASU 2016-18), which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for us on July 1, 2018 and permits early adoption. This amendment will affect the presentation of our statement of cash flows once adopted, and we do not expect it to have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-04,"Liabilities - Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products" (ASU 2016-04), which requires an entity to recognize breakage for a liability resulting from the sale of a prepaid stored-value product in proportion to the pattern of rights expected to be exercised by the product holder only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the recognized breakage amount will not subsequently occur. The new standard is effective for us on July 1, 2018. The standard permits early adoption and should be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or by means of a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year adopted. We do not expect the effect of ASU 2016-04 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02,"Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02), which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases. The standard also retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The new standard is effective for us on July 1, 2019. The standard permits early adoption. We are currently evaluating our adoption timing and the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,"Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2014-09), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which would result in an effective date for us of July 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective method.standard. We will adoptinclude the new standardexpanded disclosure requirements starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and we will apply the modified retrospective approach. We are actively evaluating the impact of the new standard on a business unit by business unit basis through a review of contract terms and material revenue streams. Our ongoing assessment includes both the quantification of any material impacts, as well as the related disclosures.2024.

3. Fair Value Measurements
We use a three-level valuation hierarchy for measuring fair value and include detailed financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy:

The valuations of the derivatives intended to mitigate our interest rate and currency risk are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, interest rate volatility, or spot and forward exchange rates, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties' nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties' nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement. However, as of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value and are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions and estimates to forecast a range of outcomes and probabilities for the contingent consideration. Certain contingent consideration obligations are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. We assess these assumptions and estimates on a quarterly basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained. Any changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to updated assumptions and estimates will be recognized within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations during the period in which the change occurs.
As part of the acquisition of WIRmachenDRUCK on February 1, 2016, we agreed to a variable contingent payment up to €40,000, previously based on the achievement of a cumulative gross profit target for calendar years 2016 and 2017. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we determined it was reasonably certain, based on recent performance, that the maximum earn-out would be achieved. Subsequently, during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we amended the terms of this arrangement to remove the performance target and agreed to pay the maximum amount in January 2018. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017, the fair value of the liability is $47,994 and on January 2, 2018 we paid the maximum amount. Of the total liability, $5,942 is considered contingent consideration and included in the table below and the remaining portion of the liability is classified as a compensation arrangement as discussed in Note 7.

The following table represents the changes in fair value of Level 3 contingent consideration:

As of December 31, 20172023 and June 30, 2017,2022, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values. As of DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 and June 30, 20172022, the carrying value of our debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts, was$708,5601,710,187 and $882,578,$1,705,365, respectively, and the fair value was $716,837$1,624,353 and $906,744,$1,600,627, respectively. Our debt at DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 includes variable ratevariable-rate debt instruments indexed to LIBOR and Euribor that resets periodically, and fixed rateas well as fixed-rate debt instruments. The estimated fair value of our debt was determined using available market information based on recent trades or activity of debt instruments with substantially similar risks, terms and maturities, which fall within Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 our held-to-maturity marketable securities were held at an amortized cost of $74,771and $49,952,respectively,while the fair value was $74,262and$49,406, respectively. The securities were valued using quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, which fall into Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of assets and liabilities disclosed above may not be representative of actual values that could have been or will be realized in the future.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
We use derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts, cross-currency swap contracts, and currency forward and option contracts, to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Derivatives are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. If thea derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge, then the effective portion of changeschange in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. IfWe have designated one intercompany loan as a derivative is deemed to be ineffective, thennet investment hedge, and any unrealized currency gains and losses on the ineffective portion of the changeloan are recorded in fair value of the derivativeaccumulated other comprehensive loss. Additionally, any ineffectiveness associated with an effective and designated hedge is recognized directly in earnings. within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The change in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges is recognized directly in earnings as a component of other (expense) income, net.
Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
We enter into interest rate swap contracts to manage variability in the amount of our known or expected cash payments related to a portion of our debt. Our objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. We designate our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the contract agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Realized gains or losses from interest rate swaps are recorded in earnings as a component of interest expense, net. A portion of seven of our interest rate swap contracts were deemed to be ineffective during the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 a portion of one of our interest rate swap contracts was deemed to be ineffective.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss
14


related to interest rate swap contracts will be reclassified to interest expense, net as interest payments are accrued or made on our variable-rate debt.
As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, we estimate that $385$6,830 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending DecemberMarch 31, 2018.2024. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, we had ninesixteen effective outstanding interest rate swap contractscontracts. Fourteen of our swaps are indexed to one-month LIBOR.These instruments were designated as cash flow hedges ofUSD LIBOR, while the remaining two are indexed to Term SOFR. The transition relief guidance from ASC 848 was applied to designate the two Term SOFR swap contracts that we entered into during the current quarter for hedge accounting. After USD LIBOR sunsets on June 30, 2023, we may convert our contracts to index to Term SOFR, otherwise the contracts will be subject to the fallback language within our credit agreement.
Our interest rate risk andswap contracts have varying start dates and maturity dates through December 2025.April 2028.
Interest rate swap contracts outstanding: Notional Amounts
Contracts accruing interest as of December 31, 2017 $65,000
Contracts with a future start date 350,000
Total $415,000

Interest rate swap contracts outstanding:Notional Amounts
Contracts accruing interest as of March 31, 2023$400,000 
Contracts with a future start date430,000 
Total$830,000 
Hedges of Currency Risk
Cross-Currency Swap Contracts
From time to time, weWe execute cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges or net investment hedges. Cross-currency swaps involve an initial receipt of the notional amount in the hedgehedged currency in exchange for our reporting currency based on a contracted exchange rate. Subsequently, we receive fixed rate payments in our reporting currency in exchange for fixed rate payments in the hedged currency over the life of the contract. At maturity, the final exchange involves the receipt of our reporting currency in exchange for the notional amount in the hedged currency.
Cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges are executed to mitigate our currency exposure to the interest receipts as well as the principal remeasurement and repayment associated with certain intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar.dollar. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, we had twoone outstanding cross-currency swap contractscontract designated as a cash flow hedgeshedge with a total notional amount of $120,011, both$58,478, maturing during June 2019.2024. We entered into the two cross-currency swap contractscontract to hedge the risk of changes in one Euro denominatedEuro-denominated intercompany loan entered into with one of our consolidated subsidiaries that has the Euro as its functional currency.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to other (expense) income, net as interest payments are accrued or paid and upon remeasuring the intercompany loan. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, we estimate that $1,154 $1,744of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending DecemberMarch 31, 2018.
Cross-currency swap contracts designated as net investment hedges are executed to mitigate our currency exposure of net investments in subsidiaries that have reporting currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As of December 31, 2017, we had two outstanding cross-currency swap contracts designated as net investment hedges with a total notional amount of $122,969, both maturing during April 2019. We entered into the two cross-currency swap contracts to hedge the risk of changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent value of a portion of our net investment in a consolidated subsidiary that has the Euro as its functional currency. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized as a component of our cumulative translation adjustment.
We did not hold any ineffective cross-currency swaps during the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.2024.
Other Currency ContractsHedges
We execute currency forward and option contracts in order to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in various currencies against our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar.
As of December 31, 2017, we had six currency forwarddollar. These contracts or intercompany loans may be designated as net investment hedges with a total notional amount of $175,262, maturing during various dates through October 2022. We entered into these contracts to hedgemitigate the risk of changes in the U.S. Dollardollar equivalent value of a portion of our net investment in a consolidated subsidiary subsidiariesthat hashave the Euro as itstheir functional currency. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized as a component of our cumulative translation adjustment.
As of March 31, 2023, we have one intercompany loan designated as a net investment hedge with a total notional amount of $364,524 that matures in May 2028.
We have elected to not to apply hedge accounting for all other currency forward and option contracts. During the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 and 2016,2022, we have experienced volatility within other (expense) income, net, in our consolidated statements of operations from unrealized gains and losses on the mark-to-market of outstanding currency forward and option contracts. We expect this volatility to continue in future periods for contracts for which we do not apply hedge accounting. Additionally, since our hedging objectives may be targeted at non-GAAP
15


financial metrics that exclude non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, we may experience increased, not decreased, volatility in our GAAP results as a result of our currency hedging program.
As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, we had the following outstanding currency derivative contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting and were primarily used to hedge fluctuations in the U.S. Dollardollar value of forecasted transactions or balances denominated in Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Danish Krone, Euro, Indian Rupee,

Management concluded that based on the current period results, that objective and verifiable negative evidence of recent losses in Switzerland outweighed more subjective positive evidence of anticipated future income. Excluding the effect of these discrete tax items, we are forecasting a more favorable consolidatedadjustments, our estimated annual effective tax rate is lower for fiscal 2018year 2023 as compared to fiscal 2017year 2022 primarily due to highera forecasted full year pre-tax income as well as a more favorable geographical mix of consolidated earnings. In addition, ourloss. Our effective tax rate iscontinues to be negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions where we are unable to recognize a full tax benefit in the current period.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("The Act") was signed into law, resulting in significant changes to U.S. tax law for corporations. One of the most significant changes is a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. Since the effective date of the tax rate change is in the middle of our fiscal year, we are required to use a blended U.S. federal tax rate of 28% for fiscal 2018. As a result of The Act, we recognized an increase to our GAAP tax expense of $4,701 related to the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities during the three months ended December 31, 2017. However, based upon our current interpretations of The Act, we expect the tax reform changes to be net favorable to our fiscal 2018 cash taxes. Our tax balances have been adjusted based upon our interpretation of The Act, although the final impact on our tax balances may change due to the issuance of additional guidance, changes in our interpretation of The Act, changes in assumptions made by Cimpress, and actions Cimpress may take as a result of The Act. We will continue to review and assess the potential impact of any new information on our financial statement positions.
On October 1, 2013, we made changes to our corporate entity operating structure, including transferring our intellectual property among certain of our subsidiaries, primarily to align our corporate entities with our evolving operations and business model. Our subsidiary based in Switzerland was the recipient of the intellectual property. In accordance with Swiss tax law, we are entitled to amortize the fair market value of the intellectual property received at the date of transfer over five years for tax purposes. As a result of this amortization, we are expecting a loss for Swiss tax purposes during fiscal 2018.

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023 we had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits included in the balance sheet of$5,317, $16,759, including accrued interest and penalties of $391.$1,803. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, the entire liability for$7,777 of unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our income tax expense. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months in the range of $500$370 to $600$420 related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. We believe we have appropriately provided for all tax uncertainties.
    
We conduct business in a number of tax jurisdictions and, as such, are required to file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions globally. The years 2014 through 20172022 remain open for examination by the United StatesU.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the years 20112015 through 20172022 remain open for examination in the various states and non-USnon-U.S. tax jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. We believe that our income tax reserves are adequately maintained taking into consideration both the technical merits of our tax return positions and ongoing developments in our income tax audits. However, the final determination of our tax return positions, if audited, is uncertain, and there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, put options were exercised by the minority interest holders for a portion of their equity attributableinterests that required us to purchase 10% to 11% in three of the redeemablerespective businesses for a total of $90,841. The exercise of the put options triggered a mandatory redemption feature for the remaining minority equity interests, which requires the purchase of the remaining 1% equity interests on the third anniversary of the put option exercise, absent the earlier exercise of a call option on the first and second anniversaries by Cimpress. The remaining noncontrolling interests as temporaryare mandatorily redeemable, which required the reclassification of the remaining equity interests to a liability, which has been presented in other liabilities within our consolidated balance sheet and the proportionate share of noncontrolling interests not subject to a redemption provision that is outside of our control as equity.sheet.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests
On April 15, 2015, we acquired 70% of the outstanding shares of Exagroup SAS. The remaining 30% is considered a redeemable noncontrolling equity interest, as it is redeemable in the future and not solely within our control. The Exagroup noncontrolling interest, redeemable at a fixed amount of €39,000, was recorded at its fair value as of the acquisition date and will be adjusted to its redemption value on a periodic basis, if that amount exceeds its carrying value. As of December 31, 2017, the redemption value was less than the carrying value, and therefore no adjustment was required.

On August 23, 2017, we sold approximately 12% of the outstanding shares of our WIRmachenDRUCK subsidiary for a total of €30,000 ($35,390 based on the exchange rate on the date we received the proceeds). The minority equity interest is considered a redeemable noncontrolling interest, as it is redeemable for cash based on future financial results through put and call rights and not solely within our control. The noncontrolling interest was recorded at its fair value as of the sale date and will be adjusted to its redemption value on a periodic basis, with an offset to retained earnings, if that amount exceeds its carrying value. If the formulaic redemption value exceeds the fair value of the noncontrolling interest, then the accretion to redemption value will be offset to the net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2017, the redemption value was less than the carrying value, and therefore no adjustment was required.

11. Variable Interest Entity ("VIE")
On August 7, 2014,(1) During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we madeacquired a capital investment in Printi LLC, which operates in Brazil. This investment provided us access to a new market and the opportunity to drive longer-term growth in Brazil and other geographies as Printi expands internationally in the future. As of December 31, 2017, we have a 49.99%majority equity interest in Printi. Based uponan immaterial business within our PrintBrothers reportable segment.
(2) Distributions to noncontrolling interests include contractually required profit sharing payments made annually to the levelminority interest holders in one of equity investment at risk, Printi is considered a variable interest entity. The shareholdersthe PrintBrothers businesses.
(3) As discussed above, we purchased an additional 10% to 11% of Printi share profits and voting control on a pro-rata basis. While we do not manage the day to day operations of Printi, we do have the unilateral ability to exercise participating voting rights for specific transactions, and as such no one shareholder is considered to be the primary beneficiary. However, certain significant shareholders cannot transfer their equity interests without our approval and as a result are considered de facto agents on our behalf in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-43.
In aggregating our rights,three PrintBrothers businesses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, as well as thosethe 1% minority interest in our BuildASign business.
(4) Accretion of our de facto agents,redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value recognized in retained earnings is the group as a whole hasresult of changes in the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the entity. In situations where a de facto agency relationship is present, one party is required to be identified as the primary beneficiary, and the evaluation requires significant judgment. The factors considered include the presence of a principal/agent relationship, the relationship and significance of activitiesestimated redemption amount to the reporting entity,extent increases do not exceed the variability associated withestimated fair value.
(5) During the VIE's anticipated economics and the design of the VIE. The analysis is qualitative in nature and is based on weighting the relative importance of each of the factors in relation to the specifics of the VIE arrangement. Upon our investment we performed an analysis and concluded that we are the party that is most closely associated with Printi, as we are most exposed to the variability of the economics and therefore considered the primary beneficiary.
We will purchase an additional 3.7% non-voting economic interest during the fourthsecond quarter of fiscal 2018. In addition, we will acquireyear 2023, the remainingminority equity interest in Printi throughholders of three PrintBrothers businesses exercised a reciprocal put and call structure, exercisable from March 31, 2021 throughoption that triggered a mandatory redemption date of July 31, 2023. Asfeature for the remaining minority equity interests. The remaining minority equity interests arewere reclassified to mandatorily redeemable by all parties no later than a specified future date, the noncontrolling interest isinterests, as part of other liabilities within the scope of ASC 480 and is required to be presented as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. We adjust the liability to its estimated redemption value each reporting period and recognize any changes within interest expense, net in our consolidated statement of operations.

We also have liability-based awards for Printi restricted stock held by Printi employees that are fully vested and marked to fair value each reporting period until cash settlement. As of December 31, 2017, through the use of an option pricing model we estimate the current fair value of the restricted stock to be $9,773 and we have recognized $1,007 and $1,047 in general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, compared to $398 and $784 in the prior comparative periods.
We also have an arrangement to lend two Printi equity holders up to $24,000 that is payable on the date the put or call option is exercised, which will occur no later than July 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2017, the long-term loan receivable, including accrued interest, is $12,493 and classified within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We did not have a long-term loan receivable as of June 30, 2017. The loans carry 8.5% annual interest,Refer above for additional information regarding the transaction and are not contingent upon continued employment. We expect thatNote 7 for additional details about the loan proceeds will be used to offset our purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest in the future.reclassified liability balance.
12.11. Segment Information
Our operating segments are based upon the manner in which our operations are managed and the availability of separate financial information reported internally to the Chief Executive Officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance.
As of DecemberMarch 31, 20172023, we have numerous operating segments under our management reporting structure which are reported in the following fourfive reportable segments:
VistaprintVista - IncludesVista is the operationsparent brand of our Vistaprint websites focused on the North America, Europe, Australiamultiple offerings including VistaPrint, VistaCreate, 99designs by Vista, Vista Corporate Solutions, and New Zealand markets,Depositphotos, which together represent a full-service design, digital and our Webs-branded business, which is managed with the Vistaprint-branded digital business in the previously listed geographies.

Upload and PrintPrintBrothers - Includes the results of our druck.at, Easyflyer, Exagroup, Pixartprinting, Printdeal, Tradeprint, and WIRmachenDRUCK businesses.
The Print Group - Includes the results of our Easyflyer, Exaprint, Pixartprinting, and Tradeprint businesses.
National Pen - Includes the global operations of our National Pen businesses,business, which manufacturemanufactures and marketmarkets custom writing instruments and promotional products, apparel and gifts.
All Other Businesses - Includes the operations of our Most of World and Corporate Solutions businesses. Most of World consists of ourtwo businesses in Brazil, China, India and Japan. In Japan and India, we primarily operate under close derivatives of the Vistaprint business model and technology, albeit with decentralized, locally-managed cross-functional operations in each country, and with product, content and service offerings which we tailor to the Japanese and Indian markets. Our Corporate Solutions business serves medium-sized businesses and larger corporations,grouped together based on materiality, as well as our legacyYSD business through its divestiture that was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
BuildASign, a larger and profitable business, is an internet-based provider of canvas-print wall décor, business signage and other large-format printed products.
Printi, a smaller business that we continue to manage at a relatively modest operating loss, is an online printing leader in Brazil, which offers a superior customer experience with retail partnerstransparent and franchise businesses, primarily through the "Vistaprint Corporate" brand. Our All Other Businesses segment also includes Albumprinter results through the divestiture date of August 31, 2017.

consolidation, internal audit and legal. These costs also include certain unallocated share-based compensation costs.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we began presenting inter-segment fulfillment activity as revenue for the fulfilling business unit for purposes of measuring and reporting our segment financial performance. Any historical inter-segment fulfillment transactions were previously recognized as cost relief for the fulfilling business unit in our presentation to the CODM. We now recognize these transactions as inter-segment revenue for presentation to the CODM; for example, a third-party customer order received by our Corporate Solutions business that is fulfilled at oneThe expense value of our Vistaprint production facilities is recognized as inter-segment revenue for our Vistaprint business based on pricing and terms agreed upon between segment management. Inter-segment revenues are recognized only for transactions between our reportable segments and do not include any transactions between businesses within a reportable segment, which are eliminated within each reportable segment. Intercompany revenues are eliminated in our consolidated results.

As part of these changes, we also recast historical segment results to ensure the consistent application of our current inter-segment revenue presentation. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, we increased revenue for our Vistaprint business by $1,407 and $2,520, with a corresponding increase to inter-segment eliminations. We also recast historical segment profitability for the allocation of certain IT costs, which previously burdened our Vistaprint business, but have now been allocated to each of our businesses in fiscal 2018. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, the cost allocation change resulted in an increase to Vistaprint segment profit by $624 and $1,247, respectively, with a corresponding decrease to segment profit for Upload and Print of $161 and $322, respectively, and All Other Businesses of $140 and $280, respectively, and an increase to our Central and corporate cost center of $323 and $646, respectively.
ForPSU awards granted under our 2016 Performance Equity Plan, the PSU expense value is based on a Monte Carlo fair value analysis and is required to be expensed on an accelerated basis. In order to ensure comparability in measuring our businessesbusinesses' results, we allocate the straight-line portion of the fixed grant value to our businesses. Any expense in excess of the amount as a result of the fair value measurement of the PSUs and the accelerated expense profile of the awards is recognized within Centralcentral and corporate costs.
Segment profit (loss)Our definition of segment EBITDA is the primary profitability metric by which our CODM measures segment financial performance and allocates resources. CertainGAAP operating income excluding certain items, are excluded from segment profit (loss), such as acquisition-relateddepreciation and amortization, and depreciation, expense recognized for contingent earn-out related charges including the changes in fair value of contingent consideration and compensation expense related to cash-based earn-out mechanisms dependent upon continued employment, share-based compensation related to investment consideration, certain impairment expense, and restructuring charges. A portion of the interest expense associated with our Waltham lease is included as expense in segment profit (loss) and allocated based on headcount to the appropriate business or corporate and global function. The interest expense represents a portion of the cash rent payment and is considered anWe include insurance proceeds that are not recognized within operating expense for purposes of measuring our segment performance.income. We do not allocate non-operating income, including realized gains and losses on currency hedges, to our segment results.
Our All Other BusinessesDuring the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we revised our internal reporting to reallocate certain third-party technology costs that were previously held within our Central and corporate costs to our Vista business and reportable segment includes our Most of Worldsegment. These include certain third-party costs that are variable in nature and Corporate Solutions businesses that have operating losses as they arethe cost variability is primarily driven by decisions or volumes in the early stage of investment relative to the scaleVista business. We revised our presentation of the underlying businesses,prior period results to reflect our updated segment reporting, which may limit its comparability to other segments regarding profit (loss).decreased both Vista segment EBITDA and Central and corporate costs by $1,852 and $4,894 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022.
Our balance sheet information is not presented to the CODM on an allocated basis, and therefore we do not present asset information by segment. We do present other segment information to the CODM, which includes purchases of property, plant and equipment and capitalization of software and website development costs, and therefore include that information in the tables below.
Revenue by segment is based on the business-specific websites or sales channel through which the customer’s order was transacted. The following tables set forth revenue by reportable segment, profitas well as disaggregation of revenue by major geographic region and reportable segment.

In addition, we have deferred payments related to our other acquisitions of $4,478 in aggregate.2023.
Legal Proceedings
We are not currently party to any material legal proceedings. Although we cannot predict with certainty the results of litigation and claims to which we may be subject from time to time, we do not expect the resolution of any of our current matters to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. InFor all cases,legal matters, at each reporting period, we evaluate whether or not a potential loss amount

or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. We expense the costs relating to our legal proceedings as those costs are incurred.

14.13. Restructuring Charges


Restructuring costs include one-time employee termination benefits, acceleration of share-based compensation, write-off of assets, costs to exit loss-making operations, and other related costs including third-party professional and outplacement services. In total,All restructuring costs are excluded from segment and adjusted EBITDA.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized restructuring charges of $11,501$30,115 and $12,355$43,142, respectively. The majority of these costs related to actions taken in our Vista business and central teams during the threeMarch 2023 that were intended to reduce costs and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively.support expanded profitability, reduced leverage, and increased speed, focus and accountability. For the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016, we recognized $1,100 of restructuring charges related2023, the previously described action combined with prior actions taken to prioritize our January 2017 restructuring initiative which we completed duringinvestments and exit the prior year.

In November 2017, our Vistaprint business executed its previously announced plan to reorganize its business, resulting in reductions to headcount and other operating costs. These changes are intended to simplify operations and more closely align functions to increase the speed of execution. We recognized $11,455Japanese market resulted in restructuring charges duringin our Vista business of $20,406 and $29,128, and in our central and corporate costs of $9,075 and $9,330, respectively.

Most of these costs related to employee termination benefits, and, to a lesser extent, share-based compensation expense for the accelerated vesting of equity awards as well as third-party consulting costs. A portion of the restructuring charge included the impairment of assets from our exit of the Japanese market of $6,257. We expect additional restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 for termination benefits that included ongoing service requirements, but we do not expect those charges to be material.

We also recognized restructuring charges in our National Pen business for the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017 for this action,2023 in the amounts of $639 and $1,127, respectively, which relates primarily toincluded employee termination benefits.benefits for previously announced actions to exit the Japanese market and to migrate our European production operations from Ireland to the Czech Republic. Additionally, we recognized restructuring costs of $3,556 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 in our All Other Businesses reportable segment for our previously announced exit from the Chinese market, which included employee termination benefits and the write-off of certain assets. We do not expect any additional material charges to be incurred in future periods related to this initiative.for these restructuring actions.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we also underwent a restructuring initiative within our All Other Businesses reportable segment, in order to more effectively allocate capital within the segment. The initiative resulted in restructuring charges of $92 and $819 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively. We do not expect any material charges to be incurred in future periods related to this initiative.

Executive Overview
We areCimpress is a technology driven companystrategically focused group of more than a dozen businesses that aggregates, largelyspecialize in mass customization of printing and related products, via the internet,which we deliver large volumes of small, individually small-sized customized orders fororders. Our products include a broad spectrumrange of print,marketing materials, business cards, signage, promotional products, logo apparel, packaging, books and similar products. We operate inmagazines, wall decor, photo merchandise, invitations and announcements, and other categories. Mass customization is a largely decentralized manner. Our businesses, discussed in more detail below, fulfill orders with manufacturing capabilities that includecore element of the business model of each Cimpress ownedbusiness and operated manufacturing facilities andis a network of third-party fulfillerscompetitive strategy which seeks to create customized products on demand. Those businesses bring their products to market through a portfolio of customer-focused brands serving the needs of micro, small and medium sized businesses, resellers and consumers. These brands include Vistaprint, our global brand for micro business marketing productsproduce goods and services as well as brands that we have acquired that serve theto meet individual customer needs of various market segments, including resellers, micro, small and medium sized businesses with differentiated service needs, and consumers purchasing products for themselves and their families.near mass production efficiency.
As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, we have numerous operating segments under our management reporting structure whichthat are reported in the following fourfive reportable segments: Vistaprint, Upload andVista, PrintBrothers, The Print Group, National Pen, and All Other Businesses. Vistaprint represents our Vistaprint websites focused on the North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand markets, and our Webs business, which is managed with the Vistaprint digital business. Upload and Print includes the druck.at, Easyflyer, Exagroup, Pixartprinting, Printdeal, Tradeprint, and WIRmachenDRUCK businesses. National Pen includes the global operations of our National Pen business, which manufactures and markets custom writing instruments and promotional products, apparel and gifts for small- and medium-sized businesses. All Other Businesses segment includes the operations of our Most of World and Corporate Solutions businesses, and the Albumprinter business, through its divestiture on August 31, 2017.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we began presenting inter-segment fulfillment activity as revenue for the fulfilling business unit for purposes of measuring and reporting our segment financial performance. We have revised historical results to reflect the consistent application of our current accounting methodology. In addition, we adjusted our historical segment profitability for the allocation of certain IT costs that are allocated to each of our businesses in fiscal 2018, to better reflect where those resources are consumed. Refer to Note 12 of the11 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional detailsinformation relating to our reportable segments and our segment financial measures.
We announced plans on March 23, 2023 to reduce costs within our Vista business and our central teams and implement organizational changes to support expanded profitability, reduced leverage and increased speed, focus, and accountability. These plans resulted in a restructuring charge of these changes.$30.1 million during the current quarter, with additional immaterial charges expected to be recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. This restructuring action provided a small cost savings benefit during the current quarter due to the timing of the action, but we expect this action to deliver approximately $100 million of annualized pre-tax cost savings.
Financial Summary
InThe primary financial metric by which we set quarterly and annual budgets both for individual businesses and Cimpress wide is our adjusted free cash flow before cash interest expense; however, in evaluating the financial condition and operating performance of our business, management focuses onconsiders a number of metrics including revenue growth, organic constant-currency revenue growth, operating income, adjusted net operating profit,EBITDA, cash flow from operations and adjusted free cash flow. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures are included within the
28


"Consolidated Results of Operations" and "Additional Non-GAAP Financial Measures" sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis. A summary of these key financial metrics for the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 as compared to the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20162022 follows:

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2023

Operating income increased $39.0 million to $72.7 million.
Adjusted net operating profit (a non-GAAP financial measure which we refer to as adjusted NOP) increased $36.4 million to $93.7 million.comparative period.

Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cimpress plc decreased to a loss of $8.19 from a loss of $0.91 in the last four quarters increased by 11%.comparative period.
Operating income increased $113.4 million to $119.3 million.
Adjusted NOP increased $44.1 million to $104.1 million.
Cash provided by operating activities increased $62.1decreased by $63.2 million to $176.7$68.5 million.
FreeAdjusted free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) increased $60.5decreased by $52.9 million to $119.7an outflow of $13.2 million.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the increase inthree months ended March 31, 2023, reported revenue growth accelerated, mainly in our Vista business as product mix shifted back toward faster-growing small business products and we are comparing to a weaker period in the prior-year quarter that included the migration of Vista's U.S. website onto the new technology platform. Our Vista business experienced growth in new customer count and new customer bookings across all major markets. Promotional products, apparel, and gifts (PPAG) was our fastest-growing product category, with business cards, marketing materials, packaging and labels, and signage all showing strong year-over-year growth as well. Revenue growth in most Cimpress businesses continued to benefit from year-over-year increases in pricing, which has been one tool used to mitigate inflationary cost pressures. Currency exchange fluctuations had a negative effect during the current quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the increasein operating income was primarily due to the addition ofincremental profit from the revenue growth described above. Gross profit growth benefited from higher volumes and the reduced net impact of our National Pen business, which we acquired on the last day of the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and therefore did not contribute to the prior comparative period, as well as continued growth in the Vistaprint business and Upload and Print businesses. This was offset by the loss of Albumprinter revenue as we divested this business as of August 31, 2017. Our reported revenue growth also provided incremental profits that increased operating income and adjusted NOP as compared to the prior comparative periods. Vistaprint recognized incremental gross profits due to its revenue growth but also the non-recurrence of production inefficiencies in the prior year period and profit gains in some of our newer product lines as we have begun optimization efforts to improve pricing and operational performance.cost inflation. We also realized cost savings from our restructuring initiatives, which wasefficiencies in advertising spend, and lower compensation and consulting-related operating expenses. These items were partially offset by an increase in restructuring charges of $11.4 millionprimarily related to actions taken during the November 2017 restructuring action bycurrent quarter to reduce costs in the Vista business and in our Vistaprint business. Vistaprint plans to simplify operations and more closely align functions to increasecentral teams.
Adjusted EBITDA increased year over year for the speed of execution, and we expect to realize savings of $8-10 million net ofthree months ended March 31, 2023, primarily for the same reasons operating income increased. Adjusted EBITDA excludes restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, certain impairments, and non-cash gains on the sale of assets, and includes the realized gains or losses on our currency derivatives intended to hedge adjusted EBITDA.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, cash from operations decreased $63.2 million year over year due primarily to reinvest a portionless favorable working capital inflows of $22.0 million, largely driven by less favorable benefits from accounts payable due in part to timing, as well as negative working capital impacts from higher inventory levels that were intended to mitigate supply chain issues. Cash from operations was also negatively impacted year over year by higher cash interest costs and restructuring payments due to actions taken to reduce costs over the savings in our business.past year.
Adjusted free cash flow decreased year over year by $52.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, due to the operating cash flow decrease described above, partially offset by lower capitalized software and capitalized expenditures.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Consolidated Revenue
WeOur businesses generate revenue primarily from the sale and shippingshipment of customized manufactured products, and by providingproducts. We also generate revenue, to a much lesser extent (and primarily in our Vista business), from digital services, graphic design services, website design and hosting, and email marketing services, as well as a small percentage of revenue from order referral fees and other third-party offerings. For additional discussion relating to segment revenue results, refer to the "Reportable Segment Results" section included below.
ForTotal revenue and revenue growth by reportable segment for the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 and 2016, our reported revenue increased, partly due to the addition of revenue from our National Pen business that we acquired on December 30, 2016. Currency fluctuations have positively impacted our reported revenue growth for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the prior comparative periods. The increases in constant-currency revenue excluding acquisitions and divestitures for which there is no comparable year-over-year revenue were driven by continued growth in the Vistaprint business, as well as growth in our Upload and Print businesses. Our Most of World and Corporate Solutions businesses continue to grow strongly, but each off of small bases.

(1) Constant-currency revenue growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the change in total revenue between current and prior year periods at constant-currency exchange rates by translating all non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue generated in the current period using the prior year period’s average exchange rate for each currency to the U.S. dollar. Our reportable segments-related growth is inclusive of inter-segment revenues, which are eliminated in our consolidated results.

(2) Constant-currency revenue growth excluding acquisitions/divestitures, a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes revenue results for businesses in the period in which there is no comparable year-over-year revenue. Revenue from our fiscal 2017 acquisitions is excluded from fiscal 2018 revenue growth for quarters with no comparable year-over-year revenue. For example, revenue from National Pen, which we acquired on December 30, 2016 in Q2 2017, is excluded from Q1 and Q2 2018 revenue growth since there are no full quarter results in the comparable period, but revenue will be included for Q3, and Q4 2018 revenue growth. Our reportable segments-related growth is inclusive of inter-segment revenues, which are eliminated in our consolidated results.
(3) The All Other Businesses segment includes the revenue of the Albumprinter business until the sale completion date of August 31, 2017. Constant currency revenue growth excluding acquisitions/divestitures, excludes the revenue results for Albumprinter through the divestiture date.
We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide meaningful information regarding our results on a consistent and comparable basis for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, cost of revenue increased by $47.5 million and $117.7 million, respectively, as a percent of revenue decreased during the three months ended December 31, 2017, compared to the prior year period,periods, primarily due to the non-recurrencecontinued effects of global supply chain challenges that resulted in increased costs for product substrates like paper, production inefficiencies that occurred inmaterials like aluminum plates, freight and shipping charges, and energy costs, as well as additional variable cost increases driven by the secondconstant-currency revenue growth described above. Although input costs were higher year over year during the third quarter of fiscal 2017, as well as2023, we started to see some easing across many product substrates, and we began to pass the additionanniversary of National Pen which hasinput cost increases, so the year-over-year impact lessened. Compensation costs were also higher due to the combination of a higher gross margin than our consolidated gross margin percentage. These items are partially offset bymore competitive labor market and the divestitureinflationary environment in many jurisdictions where we operate.
The overall impact of our Albumprinter businessincreased costs, net of pricing increases and growth of our Upload and Print businesses which havemanufacturing efficiencies, was minimal in the current quarter, though still a lower gross margin than our consolidated gross margin percentage.

For our Vistaprint business, cost of revenue increased by $14.6 million and $40.5 million, respectively, primarily due to increased production volume during our seasonally strong second quarter and from our newer product lines, partially offset by the non-recurrence of production inefficiencies in the prior periods. Cost of revenue for our Upload and Print businesses increased by$29.1 million and $50.9 million, respectively, primarily driven by revenue growth in our Exagroup, Pixartprinting, Printdeal and WIRmachenDRUCK businesses, as well as unfavorable currency impacts.

This increase is primarily driven by increased volume-related third-party technology costs due in part to higher customer demand. In addition, compensation costs increased year-over-year by $0.5 million and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, due to increases from our fiscal 2017 acquisition of National Pen, which resulted in $3.3 millioninflation-adjusted annual merit cycle and $6.5 million of additional expense in the current periods, respectively, without anymarket adjustments. Other operating costs in the prior comparable periods. We also recognized additional costs primarily relatedincreased due to technology enhancements intended to enable rapid product introductionhigher travel and improved connection points to the mass customization platform of $1.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, as well as increased depreciation expense of $1.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to past investments in infrastructure-related assets.training costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in costs of $2.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively,cost savings resulting from the divestiture of our Albumprinter business which was completed during the first

quarter of fiscal 2018. Other technology and development costs decreased by $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, due to cost savings realized as a result of our January 2017recent restructuring initiative.actions that reduced headcount.

These increasesdecreases were partially offset by a decreaseincreased advertising spend collectively across all our other businesses of $4.9 million.
The increased spend for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was due to higher advertising spend of $26.6 million across Cimpress (including increases in costs of $9.0 millionmid- and $10.3 million, respectively, resulting from the sale of our Albumprinter businessupper-funnel spend, partially offset by lower performance advertising in Vista during the first quarterhalf of the current fiscal 2018.year), partially offset by lower compensation costs in Vista year over year.

Gain on sale of subsidiaries
During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized a gain on the sale of our Albumprinter business of $47.5 million, net of transaction costs. The amount of our gain on the sale of Albumprinter was impacted by the partial allocation of goodwill to our Vistaprint business in past periods, as well as minimal carrying value of Albumprinter's acquired intangible assets at the time of the sale and currency impacts. Refer to Note 2 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Other Consolidated Results
Other (expense) income, net
Other (expense) income, net generally consists of gains and losses from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions or balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries, as well as the realized and unrealized gains and losses on some of our derivative instruments. In evaluating our currency hedging programprograms and ability to qualify for hedge accounting in light of our legal entity cash flows, we considered the benefits of hedge accounting relative to the additional economic cost of trade execution and administrative burden. Based on this analysis, we decided to execute certain currency derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The decrease in other (expense) income, net iswas primarily due to the currency exchange rate volatility impacting our derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments.instruments, of which our Euro and British Pound contracts are the most significant exposures that we economically hedge. We expect volatility to continue in future periods, as we do not currently apply hedge accounting for most of our derivative currency contracts.
We also experienced currency-related lossesnet gains due to currency exchange rate volatility on our non-functional currency intercompany relationships, which we may alter from time to time. The impact of certain cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges is included in our currency-related (losses) gains, net, offsetting the impact of certain non-functional currency intercompany relationships.
In addition, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized other gains, which related primarily to insurance recoveries. The gains in the prior comparable periods consisted primarily of gains related to the sale of marketable securities.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net primarily consists of interest paid on outstanding debt balances, amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discounts, interest related to capitalfinance lease obligations and realized gains (losses) on effective interest rate swap contracts and certain cross-currency swap contracts.

We expectour mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests are recognized in interest expense, to be higher this year relative to historical trends as a result of increased borrowing levels expected on our senior secured credit facility which was expanded in July 2017, increased capital lease obligations for machinery and equipment, and higher interest rates.net.

Income taxTax expense decreased for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 was higher than the same prior year periods primarily due to an increase in tax expense of $4.7 million related to U.S. tax reform recognized in the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017, as described below. Additionally, during2023 versus the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized tax benefits of $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, from share based compensation as compared to $0.4 million and $4.6 million for theprior comparable prior periods. Excluding the effect of these discrete tax items, we are forecasting a more favorable consolidated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2018 as compared to fiscal 2017 primarilyperiod due to higher forecasted full year pre-tax income as well as a more favorable geographical mix of consolidated earnings. In addition, our effective tax rate is negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions where we are unable to recognize a full tax benefit in the current period.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("The Act") was signed into law, resulting in significant changes to U.S. tax law for corporations. One of the most significant changes is a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. Since the effective date of the tax rate change is in the middle of our fiscal year, we are required to use a blended U.S. federal tax rate of 28% for fiscal 2018. As a result of the change in tax rate, we recognized an increase to our GAAP tax expense of $4.7 million related to the remeasurement of netpartial valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $29.6 million recorded during the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017. The reduction in our net2022. Tax expense increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 versus the prior comparable period due to the full valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets reducesof $116.7 million recorded during the future cash tax benefit on existing timing differences as of the date of enactment; however, we will also benefit from a reduced tax rate that will apply to future taxable earnings. Overall, we expect our future U.S. cash taxes to be lower based solely on the reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate to 21%. For context, had the new tax law been effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2018, rather than as of January 1, 2018, the annualized impact of the U.S. federal tax rate reduction alone on our cash taxes (excluding the impact of other tax reform items) would have been approximately $2 million. The expected future impact of tax reform on our U.S. cash taxes is based upon our interpretation of The Act. The final impact of The Act on our tax balances may change due to the issuance of additional guidance, changes in our interpretations of The Act, changes in assumptions made by Cimpress, and actions Cimpress may take as a result of The Act. We will continue to review and assess the potential impact of any new information on our financial statement positions.nine months ended March 31, 2023.

We expect certain other aspects of the tax reform will impact Cimpress in fiscal 2018 and beyond, including the beneficial impact of immediate expensing of certain qualified capital expenditures in the U.S., unfavorable changes to, and limitations on, the deductibility of meals and entertainment expense, and unfavorable changes to the deductibility of executive compensation. Most notably, we expect changes in the deductibility of “performance based” executive compensation to impact Cimpress negatively in the longer term. Historically, certain compensation awards issued to our top executives, such as stock options, were considered "performance based" as defined under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, were not subject to the annual $1 million deduction limitation per individual, as defined under prior law. The new law eliminates the "performance-based" exception for these types of awards to the extent they are not "grandfathered" in and granted under a written binding agreement in effect on November 2, 2017. Prior to this change, Cimpress had not been limited on the deductibility of “performance based” awards, which resulted in sizable cash and GAAP tax benefits in past years. We believe that most of the share-based compensation awards to date meet the "grandfather" requirement and will not be subject to the annual $1 million deduction limitation. However, future equity awards to our named executive officers may no longer be fully deductible upon vest or exercise over the long term. This will negatively impact our GAAP and cash taxes in the year of vest or exercise. As an example, performance share units (PSUs) granted to named executive officers under our current PSU plan that are subject to this limitation will vest no earlier than fiscal 2024 and may be subject to limited deductibility for U.S. tax purposes in that year.




We believe that our income tax reserves are adequately maintained by taking into consideration both the technical merits of our tax return positions and ongoing developments in our income tax audits. However, the final determination of our tax return positions, if audited, is uncertain and therefore there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. SeeRefer to Note 9 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.

Segment Revenue
Vistaprint'sVista's reported revenue growth for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was positivelynegatively affected by a currency impact of 2% and 4%, respectively. Vista's organic constant-currency revenue growth was 16% and 8%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023. Constant-currency revenue growth was driven by new customer count and new customer bookings growth across all major markets, as well as increased repeat customer bookings. From a product perspective, the strongest growth was in the promotional products, apparel and gifts (PPAG) category, as well as business cards, marketing materials, packaging and signage. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, holiday cards and invitations and announcements declined, particularly in the U.S. market, which had a more pronounced impact during our seasonally significant second quarter. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, revenue growth was negatively impacted year over year by a decline in face mask sales of $1.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, as well as lower revenue year over year of $2.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, due to our planned exit from the Japanese market.

Segment Profitability
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, segment EBITDA increased by $34.9 million, through a combination of factors including revenue growth described above. Gross margins were flat year over year as inflationary cost pressures began to lessen and further price increases were implemented. In addition, advertising spend decreased $4.1 million year over year, as a result of increased efficiency and a reduction in spend in non-core categories. We also continue to test a higher mix of mid- and upper-funnel advertising spend compared to lower-funnel spend, which we believe should help us improve awareness and consideration with customers and prospects with less reliance on paid search advertising. We delivered some operating expense efficiencies this quarter, although the cost reduction implemented and announced in March did not materially benefit the quarter.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, segment EBITDA decreased by $36.9 million, due in part to cost inflation that had a larger net impact on our results during the first half of fiscal 2023. Product mix weighed on Vista's gross margins during the first half of fiscal year 2023, when we experienced the fastest growth in product categories like PPAG that have lower gross margins although higher average order values. Changes in currency exchange rates had a negative impact during the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Vista's advertising expense increased by $19.4 million year over year, driven by higher mid- and upper funnel advertising spend, mainly during the first half of fiscal 2023. Operating expenses also increased $3.0 million due to increased growth investments made last year, which we've fully lapped during the current quarter and were starting to be offset by cost reductions implemented in March 2023.

During the threenine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, we financed our operations and strategic investments through internally generated cash flows from operations and cash on hand. We expect to finance our future operations through our cash, investments, operating cash flow and borrowings under our debt financing. arrangements.
In light of our recently implemented cost savings measures and our expectation of continued profitability expansion and cash flow generation, we expect our liquidity to increase in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 and in fiscal year 2024. We have historically used excess cash and cash equivalents for organic investments, share repurchases, acquisitions and equity investments, and debt reduction. We remain committed to reducing our net leverage through a combination of increased profits and lower net debt in line with the detailed plan we outlined in our investor update on March 24, 2023. Therefore, through fiscal year 2024 we expect capital allocation beyond current levels of organic investment to favor net debt reduction, which could include repurchases of our 7.0% Senior Notes due 2026.
Indefinitely Reinvested Earnings. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, a significant portion of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our

We do not intend to repatriate these funds as the cash and cash equivalent balances are generally used and available, without legal restrictions, to fund ordinary business operations and investments of the respective subsidiaries. If there is a change in the future, the repatriation of undistributed earnings from certain subsidiaries, in the form of dividends or otherwise, could have tax consequences that could result in material cash outflows.

_________________
(1) The debt covenants of our senior secured credit facility limit our borrowing capacity each quarter, depending on our leverage and other indebtedness, such as notes, capital leases, letters of credit, and any other debt, as well as other factors thatinterest rate swaps, whether they are outlined in the credit agreement.
(2) Share purchases, dividend payments, and corporate acquisitions are subject to more restrictive covenants, and therefore we may not be able to use the full amount available for borrowing for these purposes.
Debt Covenants. Our credit agreement contains financial and other covenants, including but not limited to the following:
(1) The credit agreement contains financial covenants calculated on a trailing twelve month, or TTM, basis that:
our total leverage ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total indebtedness (*) to our TTM consolidated EBITDA (*), will not exceed 4.50 to 1.00, except that we may, on no more than three occasions during the term of the Credit Agreement, increase our leverage ratio to up to 4.75 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters after a corporate acquisition that meets certain criteria.
our senior secured leverage ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated senior secured indebtedness (*) to our TTM consolidated EBITDA (*), will not exceed 3.25 to 1.00, except that we may, on no more than three occasions during the term of the Credit Agreement, increase our senior leverage ratio to up to 3.50 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters after a corporate acquisition that meets certain criteria.
our interest coverage ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA to our consolidated interest expense, will be at least 3.00 to 1.00.
(2) Purchases of our ordinary shares, payments of dividends, and corporate acquisitions and dispositions are subject to more restrictive consolidated leverage ratio thresholds than those listed above when calculated on a proforma basis in certain scenarios. Also, regardless of our leverage ratio, the credit agreement limits the amount of purchases of our ordinary shares, payments of dividends, corporate acquisitions and dispositions, investments in joint ventures or minority interests, and consolidated capital expenditures that we may make. These limitations can include annual limits that vary from year-to-year and aggregate limits over the term of the credit facility. Therefore, our ability to make desired investments may be limited during the term of our senior secured credit facility.

(3) The credit agreement also places limitations on additional indebtedness and liens that we may incur, as well as on certain intercompany activities.

(*) The Definitions of EBITDA, consolidated total indebtedness, and consolidated senior secured indebtedness are maintained in our credit agreement included as an exhibit to our Form 8–K filed on July 14, 2017.

The indenture under which our 7.0% senior unsecured notes due 2022 are issued contains various covenants, including covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur and/or guarantee additional debt; pay dividends, repurchase shares or make certain other restricted payments; enter into agreements limiting dividends and certain other restricted payments; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; grant liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; merge, consolidate or transfer or dispose of substantially all of our consolidated assets; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of property and assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates.
Our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indenture also contain customary representations, warranties and events of default. As of December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under the credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indenture.
Other debt. Other debt primarily consists of term loans acquired through our various acquisitions. As of December 31, 2017 we had$8.1 million outstanding for other debt payable through September 2024.
Our expectations for fiscal year 2018. We believe that our available cash, cash flows generated from operations, and cash available under our committed debt financing will be sufficient to satisfy our liabilities and planned investments to support our long-term growth strategy for at least the next twelve months. We endeavor to invest large amounts of capital that we believe will generate returns that are above our weighted average cost of capital. We consider any use of cash that we expect to require more than twelve months to return our invested capitalexpected to be an allocationpayments or receipts of capital. For fiscal 2018 we expect to allocate capital to the following broad categories and consider our capital to be fungible across all of these categories:cash.
Organic investments will continue to be made across a wide spectrum of activities. These range from large, discrete projects that we believe can provide us with materially important competitive capabilities and/or market positions over the longer term to smaller investments intended to maintain or improve our competitive position and support value-creating revenue growth.

Other Debt.In addition, we have other debt which consists primarily of debt assumed as partterm loans acquired through our various acquisitions or used to fund certain capital investments. As of certain of our fiscal 2015 acquisitions, and as of DecemberMarch 31, 20172023, we had$8.1 $7.7 million outstanding for those obligations that have repayments due on various dates through September 2024.March 2027.
Capital leases. Finance Leases.We lease certain machinery and plant equipment under capitalfinance lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2022.2028. The aggregate carrying value of the leased equipment under capitalfinance leases included in property, plant and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheet at DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023 is $36.6$28.8 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $32.8$36.9 million. The present value of lease installments not yet due included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 amounts to $34.0$37.1 million.
Other Obligations. Other obligations include the following:
Earn-out liability related to the WIRmachenDRUCKObligations. In February 2023, we made a $6.8 million deferred payment for our Depositphotos acquisition, of $48.0 million, paid on January 2, 2018.
Deferred payments related to our other acquisitions of $4.5 millionresulting in the aggregate.
Installment obligation of $3.5 million related to the fiscal 2012 intra-entity transfer of the intellectual property of our subsidiary Webs, Inc., which resulted in tax being paid over a 7.5 year term and has been classified as ano outstanding acquisition-related deferred tax liability in our consolidated balance sheetliabilities as of DecemberMarch 31, 2017.2023.
Additional Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net operating profit (NOP)EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow presented below, and constant-currency revenue growth and constant-currency revenue growth excluding acquisitions/divestitures presented in the consolidated results of operations section above, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. During the first quarterAdjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP operating income plus depreciation and amortization plus share-based compensation expense plus proceeds from insurance plus earn-out related charges plus certain impairments plus restructuring related charges plus realized gains or losses on currency derivatives less gain on purchase or sale of fiscal 2018, we removed the cash tax attributable to the current period portion of our consolidated NOP measure as management no longer uses this metric. This metricsubsidiaries.
Adjusted EBITDA is the primary profitability metric by which we measure our consolidated financial performance and is intended to supplement investors' understanding of our operating results. Adjusted consolidated NOP is defined as GAAP operating income excluding certain items such as acquisition-related amortization and depreciation, expense recognized for earn-out related charges, including the change in fair value of contingent consideration and compensation expense related to cash-based earn-out mechanisms dependent upon continued employment, share-based compensation related to investment consideration, certain impairment

expense and restructuring charges. The interest expense associated with our Waltham lease, as well as realized gains (losses) on currency forward contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting, are included in adjusted consolidated NOP.
Adjusted NOP is provided to enhance investors' understanding of our current operating results from the underlying and ongoing business for the same reasons it is used by management. For example, as we have become more acquisitive over recent years we believe excluding the costs related to the purchase of a business (such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, contingent consideration, or impairment of goodwill) provides further insight into the performance of the underlying acquired business in addition to that provided by our GAAP operating income. As another example, as we do not apply hedge accounting for our currency forwardcertain derivative contracts, we believe inclusion of realized gains and losses on these contracts that are intended to be matched against operational currency fluctuations provides further insight into our operating performance in addition to that provided by our GAAP operating income. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we includedAdjusted free cash flow as a non-GAAPis the primary financial measure,metric by which management uses to assess the cash flow generation of the company. Freewe set quarterly and annual budgets both for individual businesses and Cimpress-wide. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, purchases of intangible assets not related to acquisitions, and capitalization of software and website development costs that are included in net cash used in investing activities, plus the payment of contingent consideration in excess of acquisition-date fair value and gains on proceeds from insurance.insurance that are included in net cash provided by operating activities, if any. We use this cash flow metric because we believe that this methodology can provide useful supplemental information to help investors better understand our ability to generate cash flow after considering certain investments required to maintain or grow our business, as well as eliminate the impact of certain cash flow items presented as operating cash flows that we do not believe reflect the cash flow generated by the underlying business.
Our adjusted free cash flow measure has limitations as it may omit certain components of the overall cash flow statement and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, adjusted free cash flow does not incorporate our cash payments to reduce the principal portion of our debt or cash payments for business acquisitions. Additionally, the mix of property, plant and equipment purchases that we choose to finance may change over time. We believe it is important to view our adjusted free cash flow measure only as a complement to our entire consolidated statement of cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our cash, cash equivalents and debt.
As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, our cash and cash equivalents consisted of standard depository accounts which are held for working capital purposes.purposes, money market funds, and marketable securities with an original maturity of less than 90 days. We do not believe we have a material exposure to interest rate fluctuations related to our cash and cash equivalents.
As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, we had$425.51,103 million of variable rate debt and $3.5 million of variable rate installment obligation related to the fiscal 2012 intra-entity transfer of Webs' intellectual property.variable-rate debt. As a result, we have exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates related to these obligations. In order to mitigate our exposure to interest rate changes related to our variable rate debt, we execute interest rate swap contracts to fix the interest rate on a portion of our outstanding or forecasted long-term debt with varying maturities. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in rates, inclusive of the impact of our outstanding interest rate swaps that are accruing interest as of March 31, 2023, would result in an increase ofa $7.7 million impact to interest expense of approximately $3.3 million over the next 12 months.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We conduct business in multiple currencies through our worldwide operations but report our financial results in U.S. dollars. We manage these currency risks through normal operating activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We have policies governing the use of derivative instruments and do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The use of derivatives is intended to reduce, but does not entirely eliminate, the impact of adverse currency exchange rate movements. A summary of our currency risk is as follows:
Translation of our non-U.S. dollar revenues and expenses: Revenue and related expenses generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar could result in higher or lower net incomeloss when, upon consolidation, those transactions are translated to U.S. dollars. When the value or timing of revenue and expenses in a given
41


currency are materially different, we may be exposed to significant impacts on our net incomeloss and non-GAAP financial metrics, such as adjusted EBITDA.
Our currency hedging objectives are targeted at reducing volatility in our forecasted U.S. dollar-equivalent adjusted EBITDA in order to protectmaintain stability on our incurrence-based debt covenants. Since adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization that are included in net income,loss, we may experience increased, not decreased, volatility in our GAAP results due to our hedging approach. Our most significant net currency exposures by volume are in the Euro and British Pound.
In addition, we elect to execute currency derivatives contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, we may experience volatility in our consolidated statements of operations due to (i) the impact of unrealized gains and losses reported in other (expense) income, net, on the mark-to-market of outstanding contracts and (ii) realized gains and losses recognized in other (expense) income, net, whereas the offsetting economic gains and losses are reported in the line item of the underlying cash flow,activity, for example, revenue.
Translation of our non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities: Each of our subsidiaries translates its assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting gains and losses from translation are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet. Fluctuations in exchange rates can materially impact the carrying value of our assets and liabilities.

We have currency exposure arising from our net investments in foreign operations. We enter into currency derivatives to mitigate the impact of currency rate changes on certain net investments.
Remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities: Transaction gains and losses generated from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a subsidiary are included in other (expense) income, net, on the consolidated statements of operations. Certain of our subsidiaries hold intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. Due to the significance of these balances, the revaluation of intercompany loans can have a material impact on other (expense) income, net. We expect these impacts may be volatile in the future, although our largest intercompany loans do not have a U.S. dollar cash impact for the consolidated

group because they are either 1) U.S. dollar loans or 2) we elect to hedge certain non-U.S. dollar loans with cross currency swaps.cross-currency swaps and forward contracts. A hypothetical 10% change in currency exchange rates was applied to total net monetary assets denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies at the balance sheet dates to compute the impact these changes would have had on our income before taxes in the near term. The balances are inclusive of the notional value of any cross currencycross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges. A hypothetical decrease in exchange rates of 10% against the functional currency of our subsidiaries would have resulted in an increasea change of $34.6$12.0 million and $24.0$24.8 million on our (loss) income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of DecemberMarch 31, 2017.2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our future results may vary materially from those contained in forward-looking statements that we make in this Report and other filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors, and oral statements due to the following important factors, among others. Our forward-looking statements in this Report and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. These statements can be affected by, among other things, inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties or risks we currently deem immaterial. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
Risks Related to Our Business
If our long-term growth strategy is not successful, our business and financial results could be harmed.

We may not achieve our long-term objectives, and our investments in our business may fail to impact our results and growth as anticipated. Some of the factors that could cause our business strategy to fail to achieve our objectives include, among others:

our failure to adequately execute our strategy or anticipate and overcome obstacles to achieving our strategic goals;


our failure to develop our mass customization platform or the failure of the platform to drive the efficiencies and competitive advantage we expect;

our failure to manage the growth, complexity, and pace of change of our business and expand our operations;

our failure to acquire, at a value-accretive price or at all, businesses that enhance the growth and development of our business or to effectively integrate the businesses we do acquire into our business;

our inability to purchase or develop technologies and other key assets and capabilities to increase our efficiency, enhance our competitive advantage, and scale our operations;

our failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the decentralization of our operations;

the failure of our current supply chain to provide the resources we need at the standards we require and our inability to develop new or enhanced supply chains;

our failure to acquire new customers and enter new markets, retain our current customers, and sell more products to current and new customers;

our failure to address inefficiencies and performance issues in some of our businesses and markets;

our failure to sustain growth in relatively mature markets;

our failure to promote, strengthen, and protect our brands;

our failure to effectively manage competition and overlap within our brand portfolio;

the failure of our current and new marketing channels to attract customers;

our failure to realize expected returns on our capital allocation decisions;

unanticipated changes in our business, current and anticipated markets, industry, or competitive landscape;

our failure to attract and retain skilled talent needed to execute our strategy and sustain our growth; and

general economic conditions.
If our strategy is not successful, then our revenue, earnings, and value may not grow as anticipated or may decline, we may not be profitable, our cash flow may be negatively impacted, our reputation and brands may be damaged, and the price of our shares may decline. In addition, we may change our strategy from time to time, which can cause fluctuations in our financial results and volatility in our share price.

Purchasers of customized products may not choose to shop online, which would limit our acquisition of new customers that are necessary to the success of our business.

We sell most of our products and services through the Internet. Because the online market for most of our products and services is not mature, our success depends in part on our ability to attract customers who have historically purchased products and services we offer through offline channels. Specific factors that could prevent prospective customers from purchasing from us as an online retailer include:

concerns about buying customized products without face-to-face interaction with design or sales personnel;

the inability to physically handle and examine product samples before making a purchase;

delivery time associated with Internet orders;

concerns about the security of online transactions and the privacy of personal information;


delayed or lost shipments or shipments of incorrect or damaged products;

limited access to the Internet; and

the inconvenience associated with returning or exchanging purchased items.

In addition, our internal research shows that an increasing number of current and potential customers access our websites using smart phones or tablets and that our website visits using traditional computers may be declining. Designing and purchasing custom designed products on a smart phone, tablet, or other mobile device is more difficult than doing so with a traditional computer due to limited screen sizes and bandwidth constraints. If our customers and potential customers have difficulty accessing and using our websites and technologies, then our revenue could decline.

We may not succeed in promoting and strengthening our brands, which could prevent us from acquiring new customers and increasing revenues.

A primary component of our business strategy is to promote and strengthen our brands to attract new and repeat customers, and we face significant competition from other companies in our markets who also seek to establish strong brands. To promote and strengthen our brands, we must incur substantial marketing expenses and establish a relationship of trust with our customers by providing a high-quality customer experience, which requires us to invest substantial amounts of our resources. Our ability to provide a high-quality customer experience is also dependent on external factors over which we may have little or no control, such as the reliability and performance of our suppliers, third-party fulfillers, third-party carriers, and communication infrastructure providers. If we are unable to promote our brands or provide customers with a high-quality customer experience, we may fail to attract new customers, maintain customer relationships, and sustain or increase our revenues.
We manage our business for long-term results, and our quarterly and annual financial results will often fluctuate, which may lead to volatility in our share price.

Our revenues and operating results often vary significantly from period to period due to a number of factors, and as a result comparing our financial results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. We prioritize our two uppermost objectives (leadership in mass customization and maximizing intrinsic value per share) even at the expense of shorter-term results and generally do not manage our business to maximize current period financial results, including our GAAP net income and operating cash flow and other results we report. Many of the factors that lead to period-to-period fluctuations are outside of our control; however, some factors are inherent in our business strategies. Some of the specific factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter or year to year include among others:

investments in our business in the current period intended to generate longer-term returns, where the shorter-term costs will not be offset by revenue or cost savings until future periods, if at all;

seasonality-driven or other variations in the demand for our products and services, in particular during our second fiscal quarter;

currency and interest rate fluctuations, which affect our revenues, costs, and fair value of our assets and liabilities;

our hedging activity;

our ability to attract visitors to our websites and convert those visitors into customers;

our ability to retain customers and generate repeat purchases;

shifts in revenue mix toward less profitable products and brands;

the commencement or termination of agreements with our strategic partners, suppliers, and others;

our ability to manage our production, fulfillment, and support operations;


costs to produce and deliver our products and provide our services, including the effects of inflation;

our pricing and marketing strategies and those of our competitors;

expenses and charges related to our compensation arrangements with our executives and employees;

costs and charges resulting from litigation;

significant increases in credits, beyond our estimated allowances, for customers who are not satisfied with our products;

changes in our income tax rate;

costs to acquire businesses or integrate our acquired businesses;

financing costs;

impairments of our tangible and intangible assets including goodwill; and

the results of our minority investments and joint ventures.
Some of our expenses, such as office leases, depreciation related to previously acquired property and equipment, and personnel costs, are relatively fixed, and we may be unable to, or may not choose to, adjust operating expenses to offset any revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any shortfall in revenue may cause significant variation in operating results in any period. Our operating results may sometimes be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, in which case the price of our ordinary shares will likely decline.
We may not be successful in developing our mass customization platform or in realizing the anticipated benefits of the platform.
A key component of our strategy is the development of a mass customization platform. The process of developing new technology is complex, costly, and uncertain, and the development effort could be disruptive to our business and existing systems. We must make long-term investments, develop or obtain appropriate intellectual property, and commit significant resources before knowing whether our mass customization platform will be successful and make us more effective and competitive. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will successfully complete the development of the platform, that our diverse businesses will realize value from the platform, or that we will realize expected returns on the capital expended to develop the platform.
In addition, we are aware that other companies are developing platforms that could compete with ours. If a competitor were to develop and reach scale with a platform before we do, our competitive position could be harmed.
Our global operations, decentralized organizational structure, and expansion place a significant strain on our management, employees, facilities, and other resources and subject us to additional risks.

We are a global company with production facilities, offices, and localized websites in many countries across six continents, and we have decentralized our organizational structure and operations. We expect to establish operations, acquire or invest in businesses, and sell our products and services in additional geographic regions, including emerging markets, where we may have limited or no experience. We may not be successful in all regions and markets in which we invest or where we establish operations, which may be costly to us. We are subject to a number of risks and challenges that relate to our global operations, decentralization, and expansion, including, among others:

difficulty managing operations in, and communications among, multiple businesses, locations, and time zones;

difficulty complying with multiple tax laws, treaties, and regulations and limiting our exposure to onerous or unanticipated taxes, duties, and other costs;


our failure to improve and adapt our financial and operational controls to manage our decentralized business and comply with our legal obligations;


the challenge of complying with disparate laws in multiple countries, such as local regulations that may impair our ability to conduct our business as planned, protectionist laws that favor local businesses, and restrictions imposed by local labor laws;


our inexperience in marketing and selling our products and services within unfamiliar countries and cultures;

challenges of working with local business partners;

our failure to properly understand and develop graphic design content and product formats and attributes appropriate for local tastes;

disruptions caused by political and social instability that may occur in some countries;

corrupt business practices, such as bribery or the willful infringement of intellectual property rights, that may be common in some countries or in some sales channels and markets;

difficulty repatriating cash from some countries;

difficulty importing and exporting our products across country borders and difficulty complying with customs regulations in the many countries where we sell products;

disruptions or cessation of important components of our international supply chain; and

failure of local laws to provide a sufficient degree of protection against infringement of our intellectual property.

There is considerable uncertainty about the economic and regulatory effects of the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union (commonly referred to as "Brexit"). The UK is one of our largest markets in Europe, but we currently ship products to UK customers primarily from continental Europe. If Brexit results in greater restrictions on imports and exports between the UK and the EU or increased regulatory complexity, then our operations and financial results could be negatively impacted.

In addition, we are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that may impact items such as the translation of our revenues and expenses, remeasurement of our intercompany balances, and the value of our cash and cash equivalents and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency. The hedging activities we engage in may not mitigate the net impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations, and our financial results may differ materially from expectations as a result of such fluctuations.

Acquisitions and strategic investments may be disruptive to our business.

An important way in which we pursue our strategy is to selectively acquire businesses, technologies, and services and make minority investments in businesses and joint ventures. The time and expense associated with finding suitable businesses, technologies, or services to acquire or invest in can be disruptive to our ongoing business and divert our management's attention. In addition, we have needed in the past, and may need in the future, to seek financing for acquisitions and investments, which may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all, and can cause dilution to our shareholders, cause us to incur additional debt, or subject us to covenants restricting the activities we may undertake.

Our acquisitions and strategic investments may fail to achieve our goals.

An acquisition, minority investment, or joint venture may fail to achieve our goals and expectations for a number of reasons including the following:


The business we acquired or invested in may not perform as well as we expected.

We may overpay for acquired businesses, which can, among other things, negatively affect our intrinsic value per share.

We may fail to integrate acquired businesses, technologies, services, or internal systems effectively, or the integration may be more expensive or take more time than we anticipated.

The management of our minority investments and joint ventures may be more expensive or may take more resources than we expected.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of integrating acquired businesses into our mass customization platform.

We may encounter unexpected cultural or language challenges in integrating an acquired business or managing our minority investment in a business.

We may not be able to retain customers and key employees of the acquired businesses, and we and the businesses we acquire or invest in may not be able to cross sell products and services to each other's customers.

We generally assume the liabilities of businesses we acquire, which could include liability for an acquired business' violation of law that occurred before we acquired it. In addition, we have historically acquired smaller, privately held companies that may not have as strong a culture of legal compliance or as robust financial controls as a larger, publicly traded company like Cimpress, and if we fail to implement adequate training, controls, and monitoring of the acquired companies, we could also be liable for post-acquisition legal violations.

Our acquisitions and minority investments can negatively impact our financial results.

Acquisitions and minority investments can be costly, and some of our acquisitions and investments may be dilutive, leading to reduced earnings. Acquisitions and investments can result in increased expenses including impairments of goodwill and intangible assets if financial goals are not achieved, assumptions of contingent or unanticipated liabilities, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and increased tax costs.

In addition, the accounting for our acquisitions requires us to make significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions that can change from period to period, based in part on factors outside of our control, which can create volatility in our financial results. For example, we often pay a portion of the purchase price for our acquisitions in the form of an earn out based on performance targets for the acquired companies or enter into obligations to purchase non-controlling interests in our minority investments, which can be difficult to forecast. If in the future our assumptions change and we determine that higher levels of achievement are likely under our earn outs or future purchase obligations, we will need to pay and record additional amounts to reflect the increased purchase price. These additional amounts could be significant and could adversely impact our results of operations.

Furthermore, earn-out provisions can lead to disputes with the sellers about the achievement of the earn-out performance targets, earn-out performance targets can sometimes create inadvertent incentives for the acquired company's management to take short-term actions designed to maximize the earn out instead of benefiting the business, and strong performance of the underlying business could result in material payments pursuant to earn-out provisions or future purchase obligations that may or may not reflect the fair market value of the asset at that time.

If we are unable to attract visitors to our websites and convert those visitors to customers, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
Our success depends on our ability to attract new and repeat customers in a cost-effective manner. We rely on a variety of methods to draw visitors to our websites and promote our products and services, such as purchased search results from online search engines such as Google and Yahoo!, email, direct mail, advertising banners and other online links, broadcast media, and word-of-mouth customer referrals. If the search engines on which we rely modify their algorithms, terminate their relationships with us, or increase the prices at which we may purchase listings, our costs could increase, and fewer customers may click through to our websites. If we are not effective at reaching new and repeat customers, if fewer customers click through to our websites, or if the costs of attracting customers using our current methods significantly increase, then traffic to our websites would be reduced, our revenue and net income could decline, and our business and results of operations would be harmed.
Seasonal fluctuations in our business place a strain on our operations and resources.
Our profitability has historically been highly seasonal. Our second fiscal quarter includes the majority of the holiday shopping season and accounts for a disproportionately high portion of our earnings for the year, primarily due to higher sales of home and family products such as holiday cards, calendars, photo books, and personalized gifts. In addition, the National Pen business we acquired in December 2016 has historically generated nearly all of its profits during the December quarter. Our operating income during the second fiscal quarter represented more than 60% of annual operating income in the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and during the year ended June 30, 2017, in a period we recognized a loss from operations, the second quarter was the only profitable quarter of the year. In anticipation of increased sales activity during our second fiscal quarter holiday season, we typically incur significant additional capacity related expenses each year to meet our seasonal needs, including facility expansions, equipment purchases and leases, and increases in the number of temporary and permanent employees. Lower than expected sales during the second quarter would likely have a disproportionately large impact on our operating results and financial condition for the full fiscal year. In addition, if our manufacturing and other operations are unable to keep up with the high volume of orders during our second fiscal quarter or we experience inefficiencies in our production, then our costs may be significantly higher, and we and our customers can experience delays in order fulfillment and delivery and other disruptions. If we are unable to accurately forecast and respond to seasonality in our business, our business and results of operations may be materially harmed.

Our hedging activity could negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows.

We have entered into derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate and currency movements. If we do not accurately forecast our results of operations, execute contracts that do not effectively mitigate our economic exposure to interest rates and currency rates, elect to not apply hedge accounting, or fail to comply with the complex accounting requirements for hedging, our results of operations and cash flows could be volatile, as well as negatively impacted. Also, our hedging objectives may be targeted at improving our non-GAAP financial metrics, which could result in increased volatility in our GAAP results.

We face risks related to interruption of our operations and lack of redundancy.

Our production facilities, websites, infrastructure, supply chain, customer service centers, and operations may be vulnerable to interruptions, and we do not have redundancies or alternatives in all cases to carry on these operations in the event of an interruption. In addition, because we are dependent in part on third parties for the implementation and maintenance of certain aspects of our communications and production systems, we may not be able to remedy interruptions to these systems in a timely manner or at all due to factors outside of our control. Some of the events that could cause interruptions in our operations or systems are, among others:

fire, natural disasters, or extreme weather

labor strike, work stoppage, or other issues with our workforce

political instability or acts of terrorism or war

power loss or telecommunication failure

attacks on our external websites or internal network by hackers or other malicious parties

undetected errors or design faults in our technology, infrastructure, and processes that may cause our websites to fail

inadequate capacity in our systems and infrastructure to cope with periods of high volume and demand

human error, including poor managerial judgment or oversight

Any interruptions to our systems or operations could result in lost revenue, increased costs, negative publicity, damage to our reputation and brands, and an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Building redundancies into our infrastructure, systems, and supply chain to mitigate these risks may require us to commit substantial financial, operational, and technical resources, in some cases before the volume of our business increases with no assurance that our revenues will increase.

We face intense competition, and we expect our competition to continue to increase.

The markets for our products and services are intensely competitive, highly fragmented, and geographically dispersed. The competitive landscape for e-commerce companies continues to change as new e-commerce businesses are introduced and traditional “bricks and mortar” businesses establish an online presence. Competition may result in price pressure, reduced profit margins, and loss of market share and brand recognition, any of which could substantially harm our business and financial results. Current and potential competitors include (in no particular order):

traditional offline suppliers and graphic design providers

online printing and graphic design companies

office superstores, drug store chains, food retailers, and other major retailers targeting small business and consumer markets

wholesale printers

self-service desktop design and publishing using personal computer software

email marketing services companies

website design and hosting companies

suppliers of customized apparel, promotional products, and gifts

online photo product companies

Internet retailers

online providers of custom printing services that outsource production to third party printers

providers of digital marketing such as social media and local search directories

Many of our current and potential competitors have advantages over us, including longer operating histories, greater brand recognition or loyalty, more focus on a given subset of our business, or significantly greater financial, marketing, and other resources. Many of our competitors currently work together, and additional competitors may do so in the future through strategic business agreements or acquisitions. In addition, we have in the past and may in the future choose to collaborate with some of our existing and potential competitors in strategic partnerships that we believe will improve our competitive position and financial results. It is possible, however, that such ventures will be unsuccessful and that our competitive position and financial results will be adversely affected as a result of such collaboration.


Failure to meet our customers' price expectations would adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Demand for our products and services is sensitive to price for almost all of our businesses, and changes in our pricing strategies, including shipping pricing, have had a significant impact on the numbers of customers and orders in some regions, which in turn affects our revenues, profitability, and results of operations. Many factors can significantly impact our pricing and marketing strategies, including the costs of running our business, our competitors' pricing and marketing strategies, and the effects of inflation. If we fail to meet our customers' price expectations, our business and results of operations may suffer.

Failure to protect our information systems and the confidential information of our customers, employees, and business partners against security breaches or thefts could damage our reputation and brands, subject us to litigation and enforcement actions, and substantially harm our business and results of operations.

Our business involves the receipt, storage, and transmission of customers' personal and payment information, as well as confidential information about our business, employees, suppliers, and business partners, some of which is entrusted to third-party service providers, partners, and vendors. Our information systems and those of third parties with which we share information are vulnerable to an increasing threat of cyber security risks, including physical and electronic break-ins, computer viruses, and phishing and other social engineering scams, among other risks. As security threats evolve and become more sophisticated and more difficult to detect and defend against, a hacker or thief may defeat our security measures, or those of our third-party service provider, partner, or vendor, and obtain confidential or personal information. We or the third party may not discover the security breach and theft of information for a significant period of time after the breach occurs. We may need to expend significant resources to protect against security breaches and thefts of data or to address problems caused by breaches or thefts, and we may not be able to anticipate cyber attacks or implement adequate preventative measures. Any compromise or breach of our information systems or the information systems of third parties with which we share information could, among other things:

damage our reputation and brands;

expose us to losses, remediation costs, litigation, enforcement actions, and possible liability;

result in a failure to comply with legal and industry privacy regulations and standards;

lead to the misuse of our and our customers' confidential or personal information; and

cause interruptions in our operations and lost revenue.

We are subject to the laws of many states, countries, and regions and industry guidelines and principles governing the collection, use, retention, disclosure, sharing, and security of data that we receive from and about our customers and employees. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with any of these laws, guidelines, or principles could result in actions against us by governmental entities or others, a loss of customer confidence, and damage to our brands, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, the regulatory landscape is constantly changing, as various regulatory bodies throughout the world enact new laws concerning privacy, data retention, data transfer and data protection. For example, the recent General Data Protection Regulation in Europe includes operational and compliance requirements that are different than those currently in place and also includes significant penalties for non-compliance. Complying with these varying and changing requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business and operating results.


We rely heavily on email to market to and communicate with customers, and email communications are subject to regulatory and reputation risks.

Various private entities attempt to regulate the use of commercial email solicitation by blacklisting companies that the entities believe do not meet their standards, which results in those companies' emails being blocked from some Internet domains and addresses. From time to time some of our Internet protocol addresses appear on blacklists, which can interfere with our ability to market our products and services, communicate with our customers, and operate and manage our websites and corporate email accounts. Further, we have contractual relationships with partners that market our products and services on our behalf, and some of our marketing partners engage third-party email marketers with which we do not have any contractual or other relationship. If we or our partners were to fail to comply with all applicable laws relating to email solicitations, including if one of our partners or another third party were to send emails marketing our products and services in violation of applicable anti-spam or other laws, then our reputation could be harmed and we could potentially be liable for their actions.

We are subject to safety, health, and environmental laws and regulations, which could result in liabilities, cost increases, or restrictions on our operations.

We are subject to a variety of safety, health and environmental, or SHE, laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the storage, handling and disposal of hazardous and other regulated substances and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. We use regulated substances such as inks and solvents, and generate air emissions and other discharges at our manufacturing facilities, and some of our facilities are required to hold environmental permits. If we fail to comply with existing SHE requirements, or new, more stringent SHE requirements applicable to us are imposed, we may be subject to monetary fines, civil or criminal sanctions, third-party claims, or the limitation or suspension of our operations. In addition, if we are found to be responsible for hazardous substances at any location (including, for example, offsite waste disposal facilities or facilities at which we formerly operated), we may be responsible for the cost of cleaning up contamination, regardless of fault, as well as for claims for harm to health or property or for natural resource damages arising out of contamination or exposure to hazardous substances.

In some cases we pursue self-imposed socially responsible policies that are more stringent than is typically required by laws and regulations, for instance in the areas of worker safety, team member social benefits and environmental protection such as carbon reduction initiatives. The costs of this added SHE effort are often substantial and could grow over time.

The loss of key personnel or an inability to attract and retain additional personnel could affect our ability to successfully grow our business.

We are highly dependent upon the continued service and performance of our senior management and key technical, marketing, and production personnel, any of whom may cease their employment with us at any time with minimal advance notice. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from many other companies in diverse industries. The loss of one or more of our key employees may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives, and our failure to attract and retain suitably qualified individuals or to adequately plan for succession could have an adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan.

Our credit facility and the indenture that governs our senior notes restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions.

Our senior secured credit facility, which we refer to as our credit facility, and the indenture that governs our 7.0% senior unsecured notes due 2022, which we refer to as our senior notes, contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our best interest, including restrictions on our ability to:

incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness, and incur liens;

pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock;

prepay, redeem, or repurchase certain subordinated debt;

issue certain preferred stock or similar redeemable equity securities;

make loans and investments;

sell assets;

enter into transactions with affiliates;

alter the businesses we conduct;

enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and

consolidate, merge, or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

As a result of these restrictions, we may be limited in how we conduct our business, grow in accordance with our strategy, compete effectively, or take advantage of new business opportunities. In addition, the restrictive covenants in the credit facility require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial condition tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may be unable to meet them.

A default under our indenture or credit facility would have a material, adverse effect on our business.
Our failure to make scheduled payments on our debt or our breach of the covenants or restrictions under the indenture that governs our senior notes or under our credit facility could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default would have a material, adverse effect on our business and financial condition, including the following, among others:

Our lenders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable, and we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness.

Our secured lenders could foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings.

Our lenders under the credit facility could terminate all commitments to extend further credit under that facility.

We could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Our material indebtedness and interest expense could adversely affect our financial condition.

As of December 31, 2017, our total debt was $708.6 million, made up of $275.0 million of senior notes,$425.5 million of loan obligations under our credit facility and $8.1 million of other debt. We had unused commitments of $609.7 million under our credit facility (after giving effect to letter of credit obligations).

Subject to the limits contained in the credit facility, the indenture that governs our senior notes, and our other debt instruments, we may be able to incur substantial additional debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other purposes. If we do so, the risks related to our level of debt could intensify. Specifically, our level of debt could have important consequences, including the following:

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt;

limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other general corporate requirements;

requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes, thereby reducing the amount of cash flows available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes;


increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;


exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as some of our borrowings, including borrowings under our credit facility, are at variable rates of interest;

limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry and marketplaces in which we compete;

placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and

increasing our cost of borrowing.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to economic and competitive conditions and to various financial, business, legislative, regulatory, and other factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to effect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under our credit facility are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk, and any interest rate swaps we enter into in order to reduce interest rate volatility may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk. If interest rates were to increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even if the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. As of December 31, 2017, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in rates, inclusive of our outstanding interest rate swaps, would result in an increase of interest expense of approximately $10.5 millionover the next 12 months.


Border controls and duties and restrictions on cross-border commerce may negatively impact our business.

Many governments impose restrictions on shipping goods into their countries, as well as protectionist measures such as customs duties and tariffs that may apply directly to product categories comprising a material portion of our revenues. The customs laws, rules and regulations that we are required to comply with are complex and subject to unpredictable enforcement and modification. As a result of these restrictions, we have from time to time experienced delays in shipping our manufactured products into certain countries, and changes in cross-border regulations could have a significant negative effect on our business. For example, the current United States administration has signaled the possibility of major changes in trade policy between the United States and other countries, such as the imposition of additional tariffs or duties on imported products. Because we produce most physical products for our United States customers at our facilities in Canada and Mexico and we source most materials for our products outside the United States, including large amounts of sourcing from China, major changes in tax policy or trade relations could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our reputation and brands could be damaged, and others may be able to use our technology, which could substantially harm our business and financial results.

We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, and contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property, but these protective measures afford only limited protection. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may be able to copy or use technology or information that we consider proprietary. There can be no guarantee that any of our pending patent applications or continuation patent applications will be granted, and from time to time we face infringement, invalidity, intellectual property ownership, or similar claims brought by third parties with respect to our patents. In addition, despite our trademark registrations throughout the world, our competitors or other entities may adopt names, marks, or domain names similar to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to customer confusion. Enforcing our intellectual property rights can be extremely costly, and a failure to protect or enforce these rights could damage our reputation and brands and substantially harm our business and financial results.

Intellectual property disputes and litigation are costly and could cause us to lose our exclusive rights, subject us to liability, or require us to stop some of our business activities.

From time to time, we receive claims from third parties that we infringe their intellectual property rights, that we are required to enter into patent licenses covering aspects of the technology we use in our business, or that we improperly obtained or used their confidential or proprietary information. Any litigation, settlement, license, or other proceeding relating to intellectual property rights, even if we settle it or it is resolved in our favor, could be costly, divert our management's efforts from managing and growing our business, and create uncertainties that may make it more difficult to run our operations. If any parties successfully claim that we infringe their intellectual property rights, we might be forced to pay significant damages and attorney's fees, and we could be restricted from using certain technologies important to the operation of our business.

Our business is dependent on the Internet, and unfavorable changes in government regulation of the Internet, e-commerce, and email marketing could substantially harm our business and financial results.

Due to our dependence on the Internet for most of our sales, laws specifically governing the Internet, e-commerce, and email marketing may have a greater impact on our operations than other more traditional businesses. Existing and future laws, such as laws covering pricing, customs, privacy, consumer protection, or commercial email, may impede the growth of e-commerce and our ability to compete with traditional “bricks and mortar” retailers. Existing and future laws or unfavorable changes or interpretations of these laws could substantially harm our business and financial results.


The failure of our business partners to use legal and ethical business practices could negatively impact our business.

We contract with multiple business partners in an increasing number of jurisdictions worldwide, including sourcing the raw materials for the products we sell from an expanding number of suppliers and contracting with third-party merchants and manufacturers for the placement and fulfillment of customer orders. We require our suppliers, fulfillers, and merchants to operate in compliance with all applicable laws, including those regarding corruption, working conditions, employment practices, safety and health, and environmental compliance, but we cannot control their business practices. We may not be able to adequately vet, monitor, and audit our many business partners (or their suppliers) throughout the world, and our decentralized structure heightens this risk, as not all of our businesses have equal resources to manage their business partners. If any of them violates labor, environmental, or other laws or implements business practices that are regarded as unethical or inconsistent with our values, our reputation could be severely damaged, and our supply chain and order fulfillment process could be interrupted, which could harm our sales and results of operations.

If we were required to review the content that our customers incorporate into our products and interdict the shipment of products that violate copyright protections or other laws, our costs would significantly increase, which would harm our results of operations.

Because of our focus on automation and high volumes, the vast majority of our sales do not involve any human-based review of content. Although our websites' terms of use specifically require customers to make representations about the legality and ownership of the content they upload for production, there is a risk that a customer may supply an image or other content for an order we produce that is the property of another party used without permission, that infringes the copyright or trademark of another party, or that would be considered to be defamatory, hateful, obscene, or otherwise objectionable or illegal under the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that customer lives or where we operate. If we were to become legally obligated to perform manual screening of customer orders, our costs would increase significantly, and we could be required to pay substantial penalties or monetary damages for any failure in our screening process.

We are subject to customer payment-related risks.

We accept payments for our products and services on our websites by a variety of methods, including credit or debit card, PayPal, check, wire transfer, or other methods. In some geographic regions, we rely on one or two third party companies to provide payment processing services. If any of the payment processing or other companies with which we have contractual arrangements became unwilling or unable to provide these services to us or they or we are unable to comply with our contractual requirements under such arrangements, then we would need to find and engage replacement providers, which we may not be able to do on terms that are acceptable to us or at all, or to process the payments ourselves. Any of these scenarios could be disruptive to our business as they could be costly and time consuming and may unfavorably impact our customers.

As we offer new payment options to our customers, we may be subject to additional regulations, compliance requirements and fraud risk. For some payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise our operating costs and lower our profit margins or require that we charge our customers more for our products. We are also subject to payment card association and similar operating rules and requirements, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules and requirements, we may be subject to fines and higher transaction fees and lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments from our customers or facilitate other types of online payments, and our business and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, we may be liable for fraudulent transactions conducted on our websites, such as through the use of stolen credit card numbers. To date, quarterly losses from payment fraud have not exceeded 1% of total revenues in any quarter, but we continue to face the risk of significant losses from this type of fraud.


We may be subject to product liability or environmental compliance claims if people, property, or the environment are harmed by the products we sell.

Some of the products we sell may expose us to product liability or environmental compliance claims relating to issues such as personal injury, death, property damage, or the use or disposal of environmentally harmful substances and may require product recalls or other actions. Any claims, litigation, or recalls could be costly to us and damage our brands and reputation.

Our inability to use or maintain domain names in each country or region where we currently or intend to do business could negatively impact our brands and our ability to sell our products and services in that country or region.

We may not be able to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that use our brand names or other trademarks or that otherwise infringe or decrease the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights. If we are unable to use or maintain a domain name in a particular country or region, then we could be forced to purchase the domain name from an entity that owns or controls it, which we may not be able to do on commercially acceptable terms or at all; we may incur significant additional expenses to develop a new brand to market our products within that country; or we may elect not to sell products in that country.

We do not collect indirect taxes in all jurisdictions, which could expose us to tax liabilities.

In some of the jurisdictions where we sell products and services, we do not collect or have imposed upon us sales, value added or other consumption taxes, which we refer to as indirect taxes. The application of indirect taxes to e-commerce businesses such as Cimpress is a complex and evolving issue, and in many cases, it is not clear how existing tax statutes apply to the Internet or e-commerce. For example, some state governments in the United States have imposed or are seeking to impose indirect taxes on Internet sales. If a government entity claims that we should have been collecting indirect taxes on the sale of our products in a jurisdiction where we have not been doing so, then we could incur substantial tax liabilities for past sales.

If we are unable to retain security authentication certificates, which are supplied by a limited number of third party providers over which we exercise little or no control, our business could be harmed.

We are dependent on a limited number of third party providers of website security authentication certificates that are necessary for conducting secure transactions over the Internet. Despite any contractual protections we may have, these third party providers can disable or revoke, and in the past have disabled or revoked, our security certificates without our consent, which would render our websites inaccessible to some of our customers and could discourage other customers from accessing our sites. Any interruption in our customers' ability or willingness to access our websites if we do not have adequate security certificates could result in a material loss of revenue and profits and damage to our brands.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

Challenges by various tax authorities to our international structure could, if successful, increase our effective tax rate and adversely affect our earnings.

We are a Dutch limited liability company that operates through various subsidiaries in a number of countries throughout the world. Consequently, we are subject to tax laws, treaties and regulations in the countries in which we operate, and these laws and treaties are subject to interpretation. From time to time, we are subject to tax audits, and the tax authorities in these countries could claim that a greater portion of the income of the Cimpress N.V. group should be subject to income or other tax in their respective jurisdictions, which could result in an increase to our effective tax rate and adversely affect our results of operations.


Changes in tax laws, regulations and treaties could affect our tax rate and our results of operations.

A change in tax laws, treaties or regulations, or their interpretation, of any country in which we operate could result in a higher tax rate on our earnings, which could result in a significant negative impact on our earnings and cash flow from operations. In addition to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the United States, there are currently multiple initiatives for comprehensive tax reform underway in other key jurisdictions where we have operations. We continue to assess the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as well as various international tax reform proposals and modifications to existing tax treaties in all jurisdictions where we have operations that could result in a material impact on our income taxes. We cannot predict whether any other specific legislation will be enacted or the terms of any such legislation. However, if such proposals were enacted, or if modifications were to be made to certain existing treaties, the consequences could have a materially adverse impact on us, including increasing our tax burden, increasing costs of our tax compliance or otherwise adversely affecting our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our intercompany arrangements may be challenged, which could result in higher taxes or penalties and an adverse effect on our earnings.

We operate pursuant to written transfer pricing agreements among Cimpress N.V. and its subsidiaries, which establish transfer prices for various services performed by our subsidiaries for other Cimpress group companies. If two or more affiliated companies are located in different countries, the tax laws or regulations of each country generally will require that transfer prices be consistent with those between unrelated companies dealing at arm's length. With the exception of certain jurisdictions where we have obtained rulings or advance pricing agreements, our transfer pricing arrangements are not binding on applicable tax authorities, and no official authority in any other country has made a determination as to whether or not we are operating in compliance with its transfer pricing laws. If tax authorities in any country were successful in challenging our transfer prices as not reflecting arm's length transactions, they could require us to adjust our transfer prices and thereby reallocate our income to reflect these revised transfer prices. A reallocation of taxable income from a lower tax jurisdiction to a higher tax jurisdiction would result in a higher tax liability to us. In addition, if the country from which the income is reallocated does not agree with the reallocation, both countries could tax the same income, resulting in double taxation.

Our Articles of Association, Dutch law and the independent foundation, Stichting Continuïteit Cimpress, may make it difficult to replace or remove management, may inhibit or delay a change of control or may dilute shareholder voting power.

Our Articles of Association, or Articles, as governed by Dutch law, limit our shareholders' ability to suspend or dismiss the members of our management board and supervisory board or to overrule our supervisory board's nominees to our management board and supervisory board by requiring a supermajority vote to do so under most circumstances. As a result, there may be circumstances in which shareholders may not be able to remove members of our management board or supervisory board even if holders of a majority of our ordinary shares favor doing so.

In addition, an independent foundation, Stichting Continuïteit Cimpress, or the Foundation, exists to safeguard the interests of Cimpress N.V. and its stakeholders, which include but are not limited to our shareholders, and to assist in maintaining Cimpress' continuity and independence. To this end, we have granted the Foundation a call option pursuant to which the Foundation may acquire a number of preferred shares equal to the same number of ordinary shares then outstanding, which is designed to provide a protective measure against unsolicited take-over bids for Cimpress and other hostile threats. If the Foundation were to exercise the call option, it may prevent a change of control or delay or prevent a takeover attempt, including a takeover attempt that might result in a premium over the market price for our ordinary shares. Exercise of the preferred share option would also effectively dilute the voting power of our outstanding ordinary shares by one half.


We have limited flexibility with respect to certain aspects of capital management and certain corporate transactions.

Dutch law imposes limitations and requirements on corporate actions such as the payment of dividends, issuance of new shares, repurchase of outstanding shares, and corporate acquisitions of a certain size, among other actions. For example, Dutch law requires shareholder approval for many corporate actions that would not be subject to shareholder approval if we were incorporated in the United States. Situations may arise where the flexibility to issue shares, pay dividends, purchase shares, acquire other companies, or take other corporate actions would be beneficial to us, but is subject to limitations, subject to delay due to shareholder approval requirements, or unavailable under Dutch law.

Because of our corporate structure, our shareholders may find it difficult to pursue legal remedies against the members of our supervisory board or management board.

Our Articles and our internal corporate affairs are governed by Dutch law, and the rights of our shareholders and the responsibilities of our supervisory board and management board are different from those established under United States laws. For example, under Dutch law derivative lawsuits are generally not available, and our supervisory board and management board are responsible for acting in the best interests of the company, its business and all of its stakeholders generally (including employees, customers and creditors), not just shareholders. As a result, our shareholders may find it more difficult to protect their interests against actions by members of our supervisory board or management board than they would if we were a U.S. corporation.

Because of our corporate structure, our shareholders may find it difficult to enforce claims based on United States federal or state laws, including securities liabilities, against us or our management team.

We are incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, and the vast majority of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, some of our officers and management reside outside of the United States. In most cases, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by a U.S. federal or state court would not be directly enforceable in the Netherlands. Although there is a process under Dutch law for petitioning a Dutch court to enforce a judgment rendered in the United States, there can be no assurance that a Dutch court would impose civil liability on us or our management team in any lawsuit predicated solely upon U.S. securities or other laws. In addition, because most of our assets are located outside of the United States, it could be difficult for investors to place a lien on our assets in connection with a claim of liability under U.S. laws. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce U.S. court judgments or rights predicated upon U.S. laws against us or our management team outside of the United States.

We may not be able to make distributions or purchase shares without subjecting our shareholders to Dutch withholding tax.

A Dutch withholding tax may be levied on dividends and similar distributions made by Cimpress N.V. to its shareholders at the statutory rate of 15% if we cannot structure such distributions as being made to shareholders in relation to a reduction of par value, which would be non-taxable for Dutch withholding tax purposes. We have purchased our shares and may seek to purchase additional shares in the future. Under our Dutch Advanced Tax Ruling, a purchase of shares should not result in any Dutch withholding tax if we hold the purchased shares in treasury for the purpose of issuing shares pursuant to employee share awards or for the funding of acquisitions. However, if the shares cannot be used for these purposes, or the Dutch tax authorities successfully challenge the use of the shares for these purposes, such a purchase of shares may be treated as a partial liquidation subject to the 15% Dutch withholding tax to be levied on the difference between our average paid in capital per share for Dutch tax purposes and the redemption price per share, if higher.

We may be treated as a passive foreign investment company for United States tax purposes, which may subject United States shareholders to adverse tax consequences.

If our passive income, or our assets that produce passive income, exceed levels provided by law for any taxable year, we may be characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes. If we are treated as a PFIC, U.S. holders of our ordinary shares would be subject to a disadvantageous United States federal income tax regime with respect to the distributions they receive and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their ordinary shares.


We believe that we were not a PFIC for the tax year ended June 30, 2017 and we expect that we will not become a PFIC in the foreseeable future. However, whether we are treated as a PFIC depends on questions of fact as to our assets and revenues that can only be determined at the end of each tax year. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will not be treated as a PFIC in future years.

If a United States shareholder acquires 10% or more of our ordinary shares, it may be subject to increased United States taxation under the “controlled foreign corporation” rules. Additionally, this may negatively impact the demand for our ordinary shares.

If a United States shareholder owns 10% or more of our ordinary shares, it may be subject to increased United States federal income taxation (and possibly state income taxation) under the “controlled foreign corporation” rules. In general, if a U.S. person owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the voting power of a non-U.S. corporation, or “10% U.S. Shareholder,” and if such non-U.S. corporation is a “controlled foreign corporation,” or “CFC,” for an uninterrupted period of 30 days or more during a taxable year, then such 10% U.S. Shareholder who owns (or is deemed to own) shares in the CFC on the last day of the CFC's taxable year must include in its gross income for United States federal income tax (and possibly state income tax) purposes its pro rata share of the CFC's “subpart F income,” even if the "subpart F income" is not distributed. In general, a non-U.S. corporation is considered a CFC if one or more 10% U.S. Shareholders together own more than 50% of the voting power or value of the corporation on any day during the taxable year of the corporation. “Subpart F income” consists of, among other things, certain types of dividends, interest, rents, royalties, gains, and certain types of income from services and personal property sales.
The rules for determining ownership for purposes of determining 10% U.S. Shareholder and CFC status are complicated, depend on the particular facts relating to each investor, and are not necessarily the same as the rules for determining beneficial ownership for SEC reporting purposes. For taxable years in which we are a CFC for an uninterrupted period of 30 days or more, each of our 10% U.S. Shareholders will be required to include in its gross income for United States federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of our "subpart F income," even if the subpart F income is not distributed by us. We currently do not believe we are a CFC. However, whether we are treated as a CFC can be affected by, among other things, facts as to our share ownership that may change. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will not be treated as a CFC in future years.
The risk of being subject to increased taxation as a CFC may deter our current shareholders from acquiring additional ordinary shares or new shareholders from establishing a position in our ordinary shares. Either of these scenarios could impact the demand for, and value of, our ordinary shares.
We will pay taxes even if we are not profitable on a consolidated basis, which could harm our results of operations.

The intercompany service and related agreements among Cimpress N.V. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries ensure that many of the subsidiaries realize profits on an individual legal entity basis. As a result, if the Cimpress group is less profitable, or even not profitable on a consolidated basis, many of our subsidiaries will be profitable and incur income taxes in their respective jurisdictions.

The ownership of our ordinary shares is highly concentrated, which could cause or exacerbate volatility in our share price.

More than 75% of our ordinary shares are held by our top 10 shareholders, and we may repurchase shares in the future, which could further increase the concentration of our share ownership. Because of this reduced liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders could disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously if a large number of our ordinary shares were sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a company with greater trading liquidity that could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price.

Item 2.        Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On November 14, 2017, our Supervisory Board authorized the repurchase of up to 6,300,000 of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares on the open market (including block trades that satisfy the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 pursuant to the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934), through privately negotiated transactions, or in one or more self-tender offers. This share repurchase program expires on May 14, 2019. The following table outlines the purchase of our ordinary shares during the three months ended December 31, 2017:
