NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Description of the Business
Cimpress is a strategically focused group of more than a dozen businesses that specialize in mass customization, via which we deliver large volumes of individually small-sized customized orders for a broad spectrum of print, signage, photo merchandise, invitations and announcements, writing instruments, packaging, apparel and other categories. We invest in and build customer-focused, entrepreneurial mass customization businesses for the long term, which we manage in a decentralized, autonomous manner. Mass customization is a core element of the business model of each Cimpress business. We drive competitive advantage across Cimpress through a select few shared strategic capabilities that have the greatest potential to create Cimpress-wide value. We limit all other central activities to only those which absolutely must be performed centrally.
Our Vistaprint business and reportable segment has begun evolving its brand architecture to "Vista". Brands like "VistaPrint" and "99designs by Vista" will operate within the "Vista" architecture. This move should help open customers' minds to allow us to serve a broader set of their needs across a wide range of products and solutions that includes design, social media and web presence as well as print. No changes were made to our internal organizational and reporting structure as a result of this rebranding, but we will refer to this reportable segment as "Vista" from here forward and throughout this document.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cimpress 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. Investments in entities in which we cannot exercise significant influence, and the related equity securities do not have a readily determinable fair value, are accounted for using the cost method and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Investments in entities in which we can either exercise significant influence or, in cases when the entity's structure is that of a limited liability company that maintains a specific ownership account and our investment is more than minor, are recognized as equity method investments. Our equity method investments are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.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.

Given the current and expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we evaluated our liquidity position as of the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Based on this evaluation, management believes, despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our business, that our financial position, net cash provided by operations combined with our cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our current obligations, capital spending, debt service requirements and working capital requirements over at least the next twelve months.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 in our consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for our year ended June 30, 2020. There have been no material changes2021.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we identified an immaterial error related to the presentation of revenue for one-to-one design service arrangements that overstated revenue and cost of revenue for the period from October 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. On October 1, 2020 we acquired the 99designs business, which is presented as part of our significant accounting policies duringVista reportable segment, and after acquisition we recognized revenue on a gross basis as if we were the threeprincipal to the transactions. In the current quarter, we reconsidered the guidance of ASC 606-10-55-39 and nine months ended March 31, 2021.confirmed we are the principal for contest arrangements; however, the one-to-one design service
106


portion of 99designs revenue is governed by different terms and conditions. We evaluated whether we have control over these services before the design is transferred to the customer, as we leverage a network of third-party designers to fulfill this offering. The pricing and fulfillment responsibility aspects of the one-to-one design arrangements led us to conclude we are an agent to these specific transactions.
We referred to the Codification of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins (“SAB”) Topics 1.M Materiality and 1.N Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements to assess the materiality of the error. When considering both quantitative and qualitative factors, we determined the impact of the error was not material to our financial statements in any period previously presented. This immaterial error did not have an impact on operating income, nor did it have an impact on our previously presented consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of cash flows. This error did not have an impact on the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, which is the comparative period presented in this report, however, we will revise the comparative period results in the Form 10-Q for the second and third quarters of the current fiscal year as well as the Form 10-K for fiscal year 2022. We will revise our previously reported results to present these transactions on a net basis, which will result in a decrease to revenue and cost of revenue of $5,241 and $5,489 for the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2021, respectively, and $16,552 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
Marketable Securities
We hold certain investments that are classified as held-to-maturity (HTM) 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-specifically U.S Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, U.S. government agency securities, bank time deposits, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, and medium term notes. We generally invest in securities with a maturity of two years or less. As the investments are classified as held-to-maturity they are recorded at amortized cost and interest income is recorded as it is earned within interest expense, net.
We will continue to assess our securities for impairment when the fair 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 will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. We did not record an allowance for credit losses and we recognized no impairments for these marketable securities during three months ended September 30, 2021 and we had no marketable securities during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
The following is a summary of the net carrying amount, unrealized losses, and fair value of held-to-maturity securities by type and contractual maturity as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

(2) We have significant non-functional currency intercompany financing relationships that we may change at times and are subject to currency exchange rate volatility. The currency-related (losses) gains, net are primarily driven by this intercompany activity for the periods presented.

Net Income (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Cimpress plc
Basic net income (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc is computed by dividing net income (loss) income attributable to Cimpress plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net income (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including share options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), 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.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted-average number of ordinary shares:

Lease Impairment and Abandonment Charges
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded lease impairment and abandonment charges related to two leased facilities that we will no longer occupy. The charges are described below. These changes will result in a substantial reduction in costs in future periods.
Waltham Lease Amendment

On January 6, 2021, we entered into an arrangement that modifies the lease agreement for our Waltham, Massachusetts office location, which results in us retaining a small portion of the previously leased office space in exchange for a reduction to our monthly rent payments for the space we will no longer lease. As part of the agreement, we are required to pay a total termination penalty of $8,761 in two equal installments. The first installment was paid in January 2021 and the remaining amount was paid in April 2021. This termination penalty is inclusive of the rent that would have otherwise been paid through June 2021 when the office was not expected to be occupied.

The amendment is accounted for as a lease modification under ASC 842 - Leases. Due to the partial termination of the lease, we recorded a decrease to the operating lease liabilities of $47,801 to reflect the reduced lease payments, including the termination penalties. We also recorded a decrease to the operating lease asset of $46,645 based on the proportionate decrease in the right-of-use asset, which resulted in a gain of $1,156, recognized in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Due to our plans to no longer occupy the remaining leased office space and instead market the space to be subleased, we identified a triggering event with regards to the modified right-of-use asset. Therefore, we performed a discounted cash flow analysis that considered market-based rent assumptions, which resulted in an impairment of the right-of-use asset of $7,489 which was recognized in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Additionally, we recorded an impairment to general and administrative expense for abandoned assets related to the vacated space totaling $4,483, which included $2,787 in subtenant allowances, $1,312 in leasehold improvements, and $384 in furniture and fixtures.

Other Lease Impairment

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we identified a triggering event due to a change in our intended use of the right-of-use asset of another one of our leased facilities, as we have committed to plans to exit the space and instead market it to be subleased or sold. We assessed the lease for impairment and performed a discounted cash flow analysis using current market-based rent assumptions, which resulted in an impairment of $7,420 that was recognized in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This impairment resulted in a decrease to the right of use asset totaling $5,280 and to the related leasehold improvements included within property, plant and equipment totaling $2,140. Additionally, we recorded an impairment for abandoned equipment in the amount of $1,680 that was recognized in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Income Taxes

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act became applicable to our operations. The FASB has provided that companies subject to GILTI have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences, including outside basis differences, expected to reverse as GILTI. We elected to account for GILTI as a period cost, as incurred. We do not expect GILTI to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
NewIssued Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In December 2019,May 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12 "Income Taxes2021-04 "Earnings Per Share (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"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 2019-12)2021-04), which modifies certain aspectsprovides authoritative guidance for the accounting for modifications or exchanges of income tax accounting. We early adopted thefreestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The standard is effective for us on July 1, 2020. For2022, and early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the nine months ended March 31, 2021, adopting ASU 2019-12 resulted in a $2,545 increased tax expense in our consolidated financial statements, related to the intraperiod allocation rules. Under the intraperiod allocation rules, an entity generally allocates total income tax expense or benefit by first determining the amount attributable to continuing operations and then allocating the remaining tax expense or benefit to items other than continuing operations. An exception existed that required an entity with a loss from continuing operations to consider all components when determining the benefit from
12


continuing operations. ASU 2019-12 removes this exception.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)" (ASU 2016-13), which introduces a new accounting model for recognizing credit losses on certain financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. We adopted the standard on its effective date of July 1, 2020. The standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 "Reference Rate Reform ("ASC 848"): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", which contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. We adopted the standard on October 1, 2020. We elected to amend our hedge documentation, without dedesignating and redesignating, for all outstanding cash flow hedges by applying two practical expedients. We elected the expedient in ASC 848-50-25-2 to assert probability of the hedged interest payments regardless of any expected modification in terms related to reference rate reform. In addition, we elected to continue the method of assessing effectiveness as documented in the original hedge documentation and elected to apply the expedient in ASC 848-50-35-17, so that the reference rate on the hypothetical derivative matches the reference rate on the hedging instrument. The standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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:

During the quarterthree months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and year ended June 30, 2020,2021, there were no significant transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 classifications.
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 March 31,September 30, 2021, 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
14


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.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020,2021, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values. As of March 31,September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020,2021, the carrying value of our debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts, was $1,384,1291,751,534 and $1,482,177,$1,764,856, respectively, and the fair value was $1,426,307$1,803,480 and $1,450,719,$1,887,952, respectively. Our debt at March 31,September 30, 2021 includes variable-rate debt instruments indexed to LIBOR that resets periodically, as 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 September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 our held-to-maturity marketable securities were held at an amortized cost of $192,428and $202,961,respectively,while the fair value was $192,309and$202,786, 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 the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge, then the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Additionally, any ineffectiveness associated with an effective and designated hedge is recognized 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 income (expense), 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.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss 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 March 31,September 30, 2021, we estimate that $10,439$10,399 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense during the twelve months ending March 31,September 30, 2022. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had 1015 outstanding interest rate swap contracts indexed to USD LIBOR, all threeof which are no longerwere not highly effective and have therefore been de-designated.not designated for hedge accounting. These hedges have varying start dates and maturity dates through December 2026.April 2028.

Contracts with a future start date50,000430,000 
Total$550,000930,000 
Hedges of Currency Risk
Cross-Currency Swap Contracts
From time to time, we 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 hedge 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
15


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. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had 2 outstanding cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $120,874,both maturing during June 2024. We entered into the two cross-currency swap contracts to hedge the risk of changes in one Euro-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 income (expense), net, as interest payments are accrued or paid and upon remeasuring the intercompany loan. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we estimate that $2,6232,722 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending March 31,September 30, 2022.
11


Other Currency Contracts
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 March 31,September 30, 2021, we had 54 currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges with a total notional amount of $149,604,$118,203, maturing during various dates through April 2023.2023. We entered into these contracts to hedge the risk of changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of a portion of our net investment in two consolidated subsidiaries that have the Euro as their functional currency. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized as a component of our cumulative translation adjustment.
We have elected to not apply hedge accounting for all other currency forward and option contracts. During the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, we have experienced volatility within other income (expense), 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 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 March 31,September 30, 2021, we had the following outstanding currency derivative contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting and were used to hedge fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of forecasted transactions or balances denominated in Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Danish Krone, Euro, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Krone, Philippine Peso, Swiss Franc and Swedish Krona:

Goodwill Recoverability Assessment

During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we evaluated whether any triggering events exist across each of our reporting units to determine whether an impairment analysis is necessary. We identified triggering events for our Druck, Easyflyer and Exaprint reporting units, due in part to the reemergence of new pandemic-related lockdowns and restrictions in certain European countries which has resulted in a more prolonged reduction to cash flows when compared to the cash flows forecasted in our most recent impairment analysis that was performed during the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

As required, prior to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we first evaluated the recoverability of long-lived assets as the change in expected long-term cash flows is indicative of a potential impairment. We performed the recoverability test using undiscounted cash flows for the asset groups of all three reporting units and concluded that no impairment of long-lived assets exists.

After performing the long-lived assets recoverability test, we performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill of the three reporting units and compared the carrying value to the estimated fair value. For each reporting unit, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the related carrying value and we concluded that no impairment exists. We used the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method, to derive the fair value. This approach calculates fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. We selected this method as being the most meaningful in preparing our goodwill assessment as we believe the income approach most appropriately measures our income producing assets. We considered using the market approach but concluded it was not appropriate in valuing these particular reporting units given the lack of relevant market comparisons available.

The cash flow projections in the fair value analysis are considered Level 3 inputs, and consist of management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration historical results, as well as industry and market conditions. Our goodwill analysis requires significant judgment, including the identification of reporting units and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, actual results could differ from our projections.

Although some of our businesses are experiencing more prolonged impacts that we expect will have a negative impact on near-term cash flows, we believe that these negative impacts are temporary. We did not identify triggering events for the reporting units that are performing better than previously estimated or maintained significant headroom in our most recent analysis.

Fiscal 2020

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, nearly all of our businesses had experienced significant declines in revenue during the month of March, due to the disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we concluded that a triggering event existed for all ten reporting units with goodwill, which required us to perform an impairment test in the current quarter. We estimated the near-term financial impacts of this economic disruption and
2016


utilized different scenarios that evaluate outcomes that would indicate more or less severe demand declines, as well as different time horizons for the post-pandemic recovery period.

For seven of our reporting units, a significant level of headroom existed between the estimated fair value and carrying value of the reporting units at our May 31, 2019 test date, and significant headroom remained after considering the deterioration in cash flow due to COVID-19 or the reporting unit was recently acquired, resulting in no indication of impairment. For three of our reporting units, we identified triggering events that extend beyond the near-term impacts of the pandemic, which include reductions to the long-term profitability outlooks for our Exaprint, National Pen and VIDA reporting units. As a result of the considerations noted, we concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of these three reporting units are below each of their respective carrying amount.

Our goodwill impairment test resulted in impairment charges to our Exaprint reporting unit, included within The Print Group reportable segment, the National Pen reporting unit, and our VIDA reporting unit, included within our All Other Business reportable segment. Based on the goodwill impairment test performed, we recognized the following impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2020:

A partial impairment of the goodwill of our Exaprint reporting unit of $40,391

A full impairment of the goodwill of our National Pen reporting unit of $34,434

A full impairment of the goodwill of our VIDA reporting unit of $26,017

7. Business Combinations

On October 1, 2020, we acquired 99designs, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("99designs"), a global creative platform for graphic design. We acquired all outstanding shares of the company for a purchase price of $90,000, subject to a post-closing adjustment based on acquired cash, debt, and working capital as of the closing date. We paid $45,000 in cash at closing and will pay the remaining purchase consideration, including the post-closing adjustment, on February 15, 2022. The acquisition is managed within our Vistaprint business and provides a global platform that connects designers and clients, making it easier for small businesses to access both professional design services and marketing products in one place.

The table below details the consideration transferred to acquire 99designs:

Cash consideration (paid at closing)$45,000 
Fair value of deferred payment43,381 
Final post closing adjustment310 
Total purchase price$88,691 
We recognized the assets and liabilities on the basis of their fair values at the date of the acquisition with any excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributable to the synergies that we expect to achieve through the acquisition. The goodwill balance has been attributed to the Vistaprint reportable segment and the portion of such goodwill balance that is deductible for tax purposes is $19,667. Additionally, we identified and valued 99designs intangible assets which include their trade name, designer network, and developed technology.

Our Debt
Our various debt arrangements described below contain customary representations, warranties and events of default. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under theour amended and restated senior secured credit agreement (which have been reinstated with modified terms, as described below),("Restated Credit Agreement") and the indenture governing our 2026 Notes and the indenture governing our Second Lien Notes.(as defined below).
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On April 28, 2020,May 17, 2021, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit agreement to suspend our pre-existing maintenance covenants, including the total and senior secured leverage covenants and interest coverage ratio covenant, until the earliera Restated Credit Agreement consisting of the date on which we published our financial results for the quarter ending December 31, 2021 and the date on which we elected to exit the Covenant Suspension Period. On February 16, 2021, we elected to end the Covenant Suspension Period early, and amended our financial maintenance covenants through and including the quarter ending September 30, 2022. A summary of these changes are as follows:following:
Maximum Leverage RatioA senior secured Term Loan B with a maturity date of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA for the four trailing fiscal quartersMay 17, 2028 (the “Term Loan B”), consisting of:
a $795,000 tranche that bears interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 5.25 to 1.00 during the period from February 16, 2021 through0.50%) plus 3.50%, and including September 30, 2022 (the “Covenant Adjustment Period”) and 4.75 to 1.00 following the Covenant Adjustment Period
23



a €300,000 tranche that bears interest at EURIBOR (with a EURIBOR floor of 0%) plus 3.50%; and
Maximum Senior SecuredA $250,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 17, 2026 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 0%) plus 2.50% to 3.00% depending on the Company’s First Lien Leverage Ratio, of Consolidated Senior Secured Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA fora net leverage calculation, as defined in the four trailing fiscal quarters of 3.00 to 1.00 during the Covenant Adjustment Period and 3.25 to 1.00 following the Covenant Adjustment PeriodRestated Credit Agreement.

Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense to the extent paid in cash, in each case for the four trailing fiscal quarters, of 3.00 to 1.00, but if Cimpress repays in full its 12.0% Senior Secured Notes Due 2025, then the calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense excludes all cash interest expense in respect of such Second Lien Notes incurred in the fiscal quarter during which the Second Lien Notes are repaid as well as the three preceding fiscal quarters

In addition, the February 2021 amendment modified several of the negativeThe Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants that restrict or limit certain activities and actions oftransactions by Cimpress and our business,subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, removing mostthe incurrence of the more restrictive limitations onadditional indebtedness and liens; certain fundamental organizational changes; asset sales; certain intercompany activities; and certain investments acquisitions, and restricted payments, including purchases of the Company’s ordinary shares and payment of dividends. In addition, if any loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility are outstanding on the last day of any fiscal quarter, then we are subject to a financial maintenance covenant that the First Lien Leverage Ratio calculated as of the last day of such quarter does not exceed 3.25 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2021, we were in place during the Covenant Suspension Period.
The maturity date was not changed as part of the February 2021 amendment and remains in November 2024, but will reset to February 2025 upon redemption ofcompliance with all covenants under our senior secured notes. Additionally, the capacity of our senior secured credit facility was not changed and includes an $850,000 revolver and $142,500 term loan.Restated Credit Agreement.
As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we have drawn commitmentsborrowings under the credit facilityRestated Credit Agreement of $471,500 as follows:
Revolving loans$1,140,187 consisting of $329,000 with a maturity date of November 15, 2024
the Term loans of $142,500 amortizingLoan B, which amortizes over the loan period, with a final maturity date of November 15, 2024May 17, 2028. We have no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2021.
As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement was 5.41%4.67%, inclusive of interest rate swap rates. We are also required to pay a commitment fee for our Revolving Credit Facility on unused balances of 0.35% to 0.50%0.45% depending on our total leverage ratio.First Lien Leverage Ratio. We have pledged the assets and/or share capital of a number of our subsidiaries as collateral for our outstanding debt as of March 31, 2021.
Second Lien Notes

On May 1, 2020, we completed a private placement of $300,000 in aggregate principal of 12% second lien notes due 2025 (the "Second Lien Notes") and warrants to funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (the "Apollo Funds"). These Second Lien Notes and warrants were issued at a discount of $6,000, resulting in net proceeds of $294,000. We used the proceeds to pay down a portion of the term loans under our senior secured credit facility and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the financing and the above-described amendment.

The Second Lien Notes bear interest at 12% per annum, 50% of which can be paid-in-kind at our option, and mature on May 15, 2025. We may prepay the Second Lien Notes in whole or in part after the first anniversary with a 3% premium, after the second anniversary with a 1% premium, and after the third anniversary with no premium with proceeds from certain debt financings. We intend to prepay the Second Lien Notes on the first call date in MaySeptember 30, 2021.

Each of Cimpress subsidiaries that guarantees our obligations under our senior secured credit agreement guarantees the Second Lien Notes. The Second Lien Notes and the guarantees thereof rank equal in right of payment with existing and future senior indebtedness of Cimpress, including Cimpress' and the subsidiary guarantors' obligations under the senior secured credit agreement, and are secured by the same assets securing Cimpress' and the subsidiary guarantors' obligations under the senior secured credit agreement on a second lien basis subject to limited exceptions and the terms of the intercreditor agreement among Cimpress, the subsidiary guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent under the senior secured credit agreement, and U.S. Bank National Association as collateral agent under the indenture for the Second Lien Notes.

The Apollo Funds also received 7-year warrants to purchase 1,055,377 ordinary shares of Cimpress, representing approximately 3.875% of our outstanding diluted ordinary shares at the time of issuance. Based on the terms of the purchase agreement, the two instruments exist separately and should be treated as separate securities; therefore the warrants are considered to be detachable.

2418


The warrants have an exercise price of $60 per share, representing an approximately 17% premium to the 10-day volume weighted average price of our shares as of April 28, 2020. The warrants are classified as equity as they are strictly redeemable in our own shares, and they may be exercised by cash payment or through cashless exercise by the surrender of warrant shares having a value equal to the exercise price of the portion of the warrant being exercised.
Senior Unsecured Notes
We have issued $600,000 in aggregate principal of 7.0% senior unsecured notesSenior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"). We have the right to redeem, at any time prior to June 15, 2021, some or all of the 2026 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus a make-whole amount as set forth in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, we have the right to redeem, at any time prior to June 15, 2021, up to 40% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Notes at a redemption price equal to 107% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings by Cimpress., which are unsecured. At any time on or after June 15, 2021, we may redeem some or all of the 2026 Notes at the redemption prices specified in the indenture that governs the 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

As of September 30, 2021, we have not redeemed any of the 2026 Notes.
Other Debt
Other debt consists primarily of term loans acquired through our various acquisitions or used to fund certain capital investments. As of March 31,September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020,2021, we had $12,629$11,347 and$11,694, $12,835, respectively, outstanding for those obligations that are payable through January 2026.
10.9. Income Taxes
Our income tax expense was $3,927$9,381 and $23,675 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $1,039$6,794 for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, and income tax benefit of $86,641 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. For the period ended March 31, 2020, we calculated our year-to-date income tax on ordinary income based on the actual year-to-date effective tax rate rather than the estimated annual tax rate. The increased tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to a higher forecasted effective tax rate as compared to the actual effective tax rate for the same prior year period. In the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized a discrete tax benefit of $114,114 related to Swiss Tax Reform. Excluding this benefit, tax expense would have decreased, primarily attributable to decreased pre-tax income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same prior year period.respectively. Excluding the effect of discrete tax adjustments, our estimated annual effective tax rate is higher for fiscal 20212022 as compared to fiscal 2020,2021 primarily due to increased non-deductible interest expense and a less favorable mix of earnings. Our effective tax rate continues to be negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions where we are unable to recognize a tax benefit in the current period.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, our unrecognized tax benefits increased by $8,264, primarily due to tax positions taken in prior periods for which we have determined it is more likely than not that they will not be sustained upon audit. As of March 31,September 30, 2021 we had unrecognized tax benefits of $14,495,$15,400, including accrued interest and penalties of $914.$1,049. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, $8,051$1,169 of unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our tax expense. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months in the range of $300 to $350 related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations, but we expect any such reduction to be immaterial.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 20202021 remain open for examination by the IRS and the years 2015 through 20202021 remain open for examination in the various states and non-US 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.

11.10. Noncontrolling InterestsInterest
For some of our subsidiaries, we own a controlling equity stake, and a third party or key member of the business' management team owns a minority portion of the equity. The balance sheet and operating activity of these entities are included in our consolidated financial statements, and we adjust the net income in our consolidated statement of operations to exclude the noncontrolling interests' proportionate share of results. We present the proportionate share of equity attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests as temporary equity 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. We recognize redeemable noncontrolling interests at fair value on the sale or acquisition date and adjust to the redemption value on a periodic basis with the offset to retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheet. If the formulaic redemption value exceeds the fair value of the noncontrolling interest, then the accretion to redemption value is offset to the net (income) lossincome attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statement of operations.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
PrintBrothers
Members of the PrintBrothers management team hold a minority equity interest ranging from 11% to 12% in each of the three businesses within the segment. The put options associated with the redeemable noncontrolling interest have exercise windows for 90% of their minority equity interest to Cimpress in each quarter ending in December, with the first window occurring in fiscal year 2022. If the put options are exercisable beginning in 2021, whileexercised, then Cimpress may redeem the associatedremaining 10% minority equity interest concurrently with the put option exercise or on the first, second, or third anniversary of the put option exercise. Cimpress has call options become exercisable in 2026. Asfor the full amount of March 31, 2021, the redemption value was less thanminority equity interest with the carrying value, and therefore no adjustment was required. Duringfirst exercise window occurring during the second quarter of fiscal year 2027.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased equity interests ranging from 0.56%the redemption value of a PrintBrothers business increased above the carrying value due to 1.15% in eachstrong financial performance during the first quarter of the three businesses forcurrent fiscal year as well as the lapping of a totalperiod more severely impacted by the pandemic, resulting in an adjustment to the redeemable noncontrolling interest of $5,063.$7,592, which was recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings since the redemption value remains below the estimated fair value.

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 March 31,September 30, 2021, we have numerous operating segments under our management reporting structure which are reported in the following 5 reportable segments:

BuildASign is an internet-based provider of canvas-print wall décor, business signage and other large-format printed products, based in Austin, Texas. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, we closed a small acquisition under BuildASign in a new product category.
Printi is an online printing leader in Brazil, which offers a superior customer experience with transparent and attractive pricing, reliable service and quality.
YSD is a startup operation that provides end-to-end mass customization solutions to brands and intellectual property owners in China, supporting multiple channels including retail stores, websites, WeChat and e-commerce platforms to enhance brand awareness and competitiveness and develop new markets.
Central and corporate costs consist primarily of the team of software engineers that is building our mass customization platform; shared service organizations such as global procurement; technology services such as hosting and security; administrative costs of our Cimpress India offices where numerous Cimpress businesses have dedicated business-specific team members; and corporate functions including our Board of Directors, CEO, and the team members necessary for managing corporate activities, such as treasury, tax, capital allocation, financial consolidation, internal audit and legal. These costs also include certain unallocated share-based compensation costs.
The expense value of our PSU awards 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 businesses' 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 central and corporate costs.
Our definition of segment EBITDA is GAAP operating income excluding certain items, such as depreciation and amortization, 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. We include insurance proceeds that are not recognized within operating income. We do not allocate non-operating income, including realized gains and losses on currency hedges, to our segment results.
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, as well as disaggregation of revenue by major geographic region and reportable segment.

On April 15,October 1, 2021, we announced plansCimpress acquired Depositphotos Inc. for $84,782, subject to issue a senior secured Term Loan B to repay existing securedpost-closing adjustment based on acquired cash, debt, and bring additional liquidity ontoworking capital as of the closing date. $75,669 of the purchase price was paid at closing and the remainder is payable on October 1, 2022, subject to any necessary adjustments. Cimpress used its available cash balance to fund the transaction. Depositphotos is a marketplace for high-quality, royalty-free images, videos, vectors, illustrations, and music. Its subsidiary, Crello, is an online graphic design platform where anyone can create visuals for social media and websites. These businesses will be managed within our balance sheet. We expect this transaction to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. The secured Term Loan B is expected to consist of a $795,000 tranche and a €300,000 tranche,

both due 2028. We plan to use the new debt to redeem all of our 12% Second Lien Notes due 2025, repay amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility and repay all borrowings in respect of our Term Loan A under our secured credit facility. The transaction would be approximately net leverage neutral on a pro-forma basis. The Second Lien notes would be redeemed at the first call date in mid-May 2021. The Term Loan A would terminate and Cimpress would retain a $250,000 revolving credit facility maturing in 2026.Vista reportable segment.

Executive Overview
Cimpress is a strategically focused group of more than a dozen businesses that specialize in mass customization, via which we deliver large volumes of individually small-sized customized orders for a broad spectrum of print, signage, photo merchandise, invitations and announcements, writing instruments, packaging, apparel and other categories. We invest in and build customer-focused, entrepreneurial mass customization businesses for the long term, which we manage in a decentralized, autonomous manner. We drive competitive advantage across Cimpress through a select few shared strategic capabilities that have the greatest potential to create Cimpress-wide value. We limit all other central activities to only those which absolutely must be performed centrally.
As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we have numerous operating segments under our management reporting structure that are reported in the following five reportable segments: Vistaprint,Vista, PrintBrothers, The Print Group, National Pen, and All Other Businesses. Refer to Note 1211 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our reportable segments and our segment financial measures.
Our Vistaprint business and reportable segment has introduced a new parent brand "Vista", which reflects our ongoing transformation into the expert design and marketing partner for small businesses around the world. This new parent brand encompasses VistaPrint, 99designs by Vista and VistaCreate. This move should help open customers' minds to allow us to serve a broader set of their needs across a wide range of products and solutions that includes design, social media and web presence as well as print. No changes were made to our internal organizational and reporting structure as a result of this rebranding, but we will refer to this reportable segment as "Vista" from here forward and throughout this document.
COVID-19
The pandemic and related restrictions continuecontinues to have a negativedrive some volatility, but its overall impact on mostCimpress has lessened as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Customer demand trends are nearing pre-pandemic levels and gross profit, including the relatively small impact of acquisitions, has increased above the pre-pandemic first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Before considering increased growth investment, particularly in Vista, the combination of recovering gross profit and cost savings from actions taken during the pandemic drove increased adjusted EBITDA compared to the pre-pandemic period.
Supply chain delays are a developing facet of pandemic impacts which has created both challenges and opportunities for Cimpress businesses. Each of our reportable segments has seen material cost increases of product substrates like paper, production materials like aluminum plates, freight and shipping charges and a more competitive labor market. Our scale-based shared strategic capabilities and supplier relationships provide competitive advantage for our businesses customers and the markets that we serve. Consolidated revenue was down 18% year over year for the first two months of the third quarter due to severe restrictions in most ofweather these challenges. Through data capabilities, our markets. In March we saw a pick up in demand in markets where pandemic restrictions have been lifted orbusinesses are less severeregularly testing new pricing approaches, and in every business there has been some form of pricing increases that are mostly offsetting the second half of the month we began to lap the start of depressed demand last year. As an example of geographic differences, Vistaprint bookings in Australia grew approximately 10% for the third quarter, while bookings across European countries declined by approximately 7%. Likewise, Vistaprint bookings from customers in less restricted U.S. states such as Florida, Texas, and Georgia are recovering more quickly compared to bookings in U.S. states such as California, Pennsylvania, or New York that were more restricted. These data points give us confidence that demand will continue to pick up as activity resumes in our markets around the world. increased costs.
We continue to hire talent and make investments in technology, data, new product introduction, customer experience improvements, and branding that are designed to build on our competitive advantages and enabledrive sustainable growth in our businesses to grow as we come out of the

Financial Summary
The 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 related to borrowing;expense; however, in evaluating the financial condition and operating performance of our business, management considers a number of metrics including revenue growth, organic constant-currency revenue growth, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, cash flow from operations and adjusted free cash flow. A summary of these key financial metrics for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 follows:
ThirdFirst Quarter Fiscal 2021Year 2022

Adjusted free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased by $58.7$70.2 million to $150.9$12.3 million.
For the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal year 2021, our2022, the increase in reported revenue declined year-over-year as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact our results, although results vary by segment depending on product and customer mix. Our businesses also serve customers in different geographic markets where the extent and impact of government restrictions and lockdowns vary. Revenue from event-driven and some small business products continued to decline year-over-year, partially offset by continued growth in revenue from home decor and packaging products, as well as new products introduced in reaction to the pandemic such as face masks, although the contribution from those products has lessened compared to the first six months of fiscal 2021. We expect our financial results will continue to experience volatility connected to the extent of pandemic-related restrictions but also higher rates of year-over-year revenue growth as we lap depressed periods of demand from last year.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2021, operating loss improved by $72.0 million, primarily driven by the non-recurrence of a $100.8 million goodwill impairment charge in the prior comparable period, as well as continued variable cost controls, fixed cost savings and lower restructuring charges, in addition to the benefit of $3.2 million of COVID-19-related government incentives, primarily to offset wages for manufacturing and customer service team members in countries where demand decreased but roles were maintained. During the current quarter operating income was negatively impacted by $19.9 million of lease-related impairment and abandonment charges due to changes in our intended use of two leased locations, which we expect will deliver substantial cost savings in future periods. We also increased organic investment primarily through hiring in Vistaprint.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased year-over-year,is primarily due to the pandemic-relatedrecovery of demand, as the impact of the pandemic on our businesses has lessened, as well as the benefit from the addition of 99designs revenue, declinewhich was acquired on October 1, 2020, and is included in our Vista business. We continue to experience strong demand for newer fast-growing product categories, while the impacts of the pandemic continue to have a negative effect for certain marketing material products. Demand recovery in our Upload and Print businesses lagged behind our other businesses in prior quarters but reported strong revenue growth this quarter. Currency exchange fluctuations had a positive effect during the current quarter.
For the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, operating income decreased by $19.0 million, primarily due to increased investments and discretionary costs as described above.we compare against a period that had strict cost control measures in place when the pandemic had a more severe impact on our businesses, as well as increased advertising, primarily in our Vista business. These increased costs include higher compensation costs as we have hired additional team members to support key initiatives, mainly in Vista and our central technology team, while the timing of our annual merit cycle contributed to increased compensation costs. The increase in advertising spend includes a return of performance-based advertising to more normalized levels, as well as a smaller increase in upper-funnel advertising spend in Vista. These cost increases coupled with a reduction in government wage incentives have more than offset the profit increase driven by higher revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased year over year, primarily for the same reasons operating income decreased. Adjusted EBITDA excludes goodwill and other impairment charges, restructuring charges and share-based compensation expense, and includes the realized gains or losses on our currency derivatives intended to hedge adjusted EBITDA. The net year-over-year impact of currency on consolidated adjusted EBITDA was negativeunfavorable by approximately$4.4 $4.0 million.
34


Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Cimpress plc increased to income per share of $0.09 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 from a loss per share of $0.39 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to currency exchange rate volatility that resulted in positive year-over-year unrealized currency impacts, as well as decreased interest expense due to our debt refinancing during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Consolidated Revenue
Our businesses generate revenue primarily from the sale and shipment of customized manufactured products. ToWe also generate revenue, to a much lesser extent (and primarily in our VistaprintVista business) we provide, from digital services, graphic design services, website design and hosting, and email marketing services, as well as generate a small percentage of revenue from order referral fees and other third-party offerings.

We also realized increases in demand-dependent cost of goods sold including third-party fulfillment, material, and shipping costs as revenue continues to recover while the prior comparative period was more negatively impacted by the pandemic.

Technology and development expense
Technology and development expense consists primarily of payroll and related expenses for employees engaged in software and manufacturing engineering, information technology operations and content development, as well as amortization of capitalized software and website development costs, including hosting of our websites, asset depreciation, patent amortization, and other technology infrastructure-related costs. Depreciation expense for information technology equipment that directly supports the delivery of our digital marketing services products is included in cost of revenue.

Technology and development expenses decreasedincreased by $5.1 million and $9.2$8.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, as compared to the prior comparative periods. Both periods benefitedperiod. This increase is primarily driven by higher compensation costs due to increased investment from decreases in costs from our fiscal 2020 reorganizationhiring and the timing of our annual merit cycle, mainly in the Vista business and our central and Vistaprint technology teams as well as continued reductionsgroup. We also realized other cost increases in discretionary spend including travel and training expenses.as tighter cost control measures were in place during the prior comparative period when the effects of the pandemic were more severe.
Marketing and selling expense
Marketing and selling expense consists primarily of advertising and promotional costs; payroll and related expenses for our employees engaged in marketing, sales, customer support and public relations activities; direct-mail advertising costs; and third-party payment processing fees. Our Vistaprint,Vista, National Pen and BuildASign businesses have higher marketing and selling costs as a percentage of revenue as compared to our PrintBrothers and The Print Group businesses.businesses due to differences in the customers that they serve.
OurFor the three months ended September 30, 2021, marketing and selling expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $5.7$36.5 million, as compared to the prior comparative period, driven primarily by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We also increased spend in our Vistaprint business due to brand sponsorships and upper-funnel advertising investment along with associated agency fees. These increases were partially offset by reductions in advertising across several of our other businesses as they continue to control advertising spend levels in line with demand.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, marketing and selling expenses decreased by $8.1 million, as compared to the prior year.fiscal quarter. The decreaseincrease from the prior comparative period is primarily due to the year-over-year reductionincrease of advertising and marketing spend in performance basedour Vista business of $27.9 million. The increase was driven primarily by self-imposed restrictions on advertising spend during the prior comparative period, whereas the current quarter reflects more normalized spend levels with increased payback thresholds, as well as an increase in upper-funnel brand spend. In addition, many of our other businesses have increased advertising spend in our Vistaprint business of $11.8 million, which is partially offset by increases in brand sponsorships and upper-funnel advertising investments. We also recognized a decrease in marketing costs inline with demand, including our National Pen business of $8.1 million, primarily due to pandemic-related initiatives to lower costs, which included reductions tohas increased direct mail prospecting activities and cost savings from initiatives intended to reduce costs in service centers. These decreases were partially offset by negative impacts from fluctuations in currency exchange rates.volumes ahead of their seasonally significant second quarter.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense consists primarily of transaction costs, including third-party professional fees, insurance and payroll and related expenses of employees involved in executive management, finance, legal, strategy, human resources and procurement.

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased by $17.2$4.7 million, and $6.5 million, respectively, as compared to the prior comparative periods,prior-year period, primarily due to $19.9 millionthe lack of lease-related impairment and abandonment charges driven by changestemporary cost-control measures from the year-ago period that drove a year-over-year increase in our office footprint at two leased locations. These changes to our leased facility footprint are expected to result in substantial cost savings in future periods. These increased expenses were partially offset by lower professional fees as a result of the non-recurrence ofcorporate costs, related to strategic projects in our Vistaprint business, as well as the Cimpress cross-border mergerincreases to Ireland in fiscal year 2020. We also realized lower discretionary spend in both periods.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets
Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization expense associated with separately identifiable intangible assets capitalized as part of our acquisitions, including customer relationships, trade names, developed technologies, print networks, and customer and referral networks.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased by $0.8 million and$1.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020. The year-over-year increase is driven by the negative impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The incremental amortization from the newly acquired 99designs intangibles was offset by the expense reduction caused by another acquired intangible asset becoming fully amortized during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Refer to Note 7 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information about the 99designs acquisition.
Restructuring expense
Restructuring expense consists of costs directly incurred as a result of restructuring initiatives, and includes employee-related termination costs, third party professional fees and facility exit costs.

We recognized a restructuring benefit of $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and an expense of $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, due to actions taken in The Print Group reportable segment which are intended to streamline certain activities within the segment. We recognized restructuring expense of $0.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 due to prior year actions taken in our Vistaprint business.
Impairment of goodwill
During the prior comparative periods, we recognized goodwill impairment charges of $100.8 million. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges during the current periods presented.

Other Consolidated Results
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), 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 programs 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 execute certain currency derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The decreaseincrease in other income (expense), net was primarily due to the currency exchange rate volatility impacting our derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments, of which our Euro and British Pound contracts are the most significant exposures that we economically hedge. We also recognize the impact from de-designated interest swap contracts that are no longer highly effective, which resulted in unrealized gainslosses during the current periods.period. We expect volatility to continue in future periods, as we do not apply hedge accounting for most of our derivative currency contracts.
We experienced currency-related lossesgains 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.
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 finance lease obligations and realized gains (losses) on effective interest rate swap contracts and certain cross-currency swap contracts.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 increased as compared to the prior year. For the period ended March 31, 2020, we calculated our year-to-date income tax on ordinary income based on the actual year-to-date effective tax rate rather than the estimated annual tax rate. The increased tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to a higher forecasted effective tax rate as compared to the actual effective tax rate for the same prior year period. In the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized a discrete tax benefit of $114.1 million related to Swiss Tax Reform. Excluding this benefit, tax expense would have decreased, primarily attributable to decreased pre-tax income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same prior year period. Excluding the effect of discrete tax adjustments, our estimated annual effective tax rate is higher for fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020 primarily due to increased non-deductible interest expensepre-tax profits and a less favorable mix of earnings. Our effective tax rate continues to be negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions where we are unable to recognize a tax benefit in the current period.earnings year over 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. Refer to Note 109 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.

In addition, revenue related to face masks has declined significantly as the impacteffects of the pandemic on customer demand,have declined, contributing only 1% of Vista's revenue in the current quarter as compared to 11% in the prior comparative period. Results in North America and Australia continue to perform closer to pre-pandemic levels than in Europe.
Segment Profitability
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, segment EBITDA declined $22.1 million largely driven by increased organic investments that support Vista's multi-year transformation journey to become the expert design and marketing partner to the world's small businesses. Vista's advertising spend also increased, driven in part by expanded performance advertising spend payback thresholds, which were more constrained during the prior-year period when the effects of the pandemic were more severe. Upper-funnel advertising increased slightly year-over-year to 1% of Vista revenue. Operating expenses also grew year over year due to the addition of 99designs, which is not included in the comparative period due to the timing of the acquisition. These increases to spend were partially offset by growth in gross profit year-over-year.

Segment Profitability
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the decrease to Vistaprint'sThe increase in PrintBrothers' segment EBITDA was primarily due to a decline in gross profit driven by the organic revenue decrease described above, as well as a revenue mix shift to lower margin products during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase in operating expenses was driven by the acquisition of 99designs combined with increased investment in hiring, which was more than offset by year-over-year cost reductions including lower building-related costs and travel expenses.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the decline in segment EBITDA was combined with increased investment in advertising which included expanded return on advertising spend targets and increases in upper-funnel advertising investments (including related agency fees) and brand-based sponsorships. Additionally, the increase in operating expenses was driven by continued hiring and increased spend related to customer experience, partially offset by technology savings from our fiscal 2020 restructuring and reduced spend for consulting projects compared to the prior year periods. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, Vistaprint received $1.9 million and $6.8 million,respectively in government incentives to offset wages in locations where demand decreased materially but roles were maintained.

Segment Revenue
All Other Businesses' constant-currency revenue, excluding the impact of acquisitions, increased by 15%5% during the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by recovery of demand for both our Printi business in Brazil and 12%signage products offered by BuildASign. Organic constant-currency revenue growth was lower sequentially in this reportable segment as we lapped the increased demand for home decor products in the comparable prior year period.

___________________
(1) Operating and finance lease payments above include only amounts which are fixed under lease agreements. Our leases may also incur variable expenses which are not reflected in the contractual obligations above.
(2) On January 6, 2021, we amended our Waltham lease agreement to reduce the amount of space leased. As part of the agreement, as of March 31, 2021, we had a remaining obligation of $4.4 million for the lease termination penalty that was paid on April 1, 2021. We have separately entered into a lease agreement for a new office space in Waltham, Massachusetts, which will commence on June 1, 2021. The amended lease terms, combined with the new lease agreement, resulted in a reduction to total lease commitments of $44.6 million, exclusive of the termination penalty. Refer to Note 13 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
(3) Other debtSenior secured credit facility and interest payments include the effects of interest rate swaps, whether they are expected to be payments or receipts of cash. We have excluded the effect of interest rate swaps of $0.5 million within the more than five years category above as that period extends beyond the term of our debt and the interest rate swaps do not yet offset contractual interest payments.
(4)(3) We may be required to make cash outlays related to our uncertain tax positions. However, due to the uncertainty of the timing of future cash flows associated with our uncertain tax positions, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement, if any, with the respective taxing authorities. Accordingly, uncertain tax positions of $9.0$9.2 million as of March 31,September 30, 2021 have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above. See Note 109 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information on uncertain tax positions.
Operating Leases. We rent office space under operating leases expiring on various dates through 2034. The terms of certain lease agreements require security deposits in the form of bank guarantees and letters of credit in the amount of $2.4 million.$2.0 million in the aggregate.
Purchase Commitments. At March 31,September 30, 2021, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $211.3$250.5 million. Purchase commitments consisted of third-party web services of $96.7$100.7 million, software of $54.5$53.0 million, inventory and third-party fulfillment purchase commitments of $19.0$55.7 million, advertising of $15.1$10.1 million, , commitments for professional and consulting fees of $7.4$8.0 million, production and computer equipment purchases of $2.4$10.0 million and other unrecorded purchase commitments of $16.2$13.0 million.
Senior Unsecured Notes and Interest Payments. Our senior unsecured notes due$600.0 million of 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum and mature on June 15, 2026. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year and has been included in the table above.
Second Lien Notes and Interest Payments. Our senior secured notes due 2025 bear interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum and mature on May 15, 2025. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year and has been included in the table above. At our option, we may elect to pay interest on

Other Debt.In addition, we have other debt which consists primarily of term loans acquired through our various acquisitions or used to fund certain capital investments, and asinvestments. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had$12.6 $11.3 million outstanding for those obligations that have repayments due on various dates through January 2026.
Finance Leases.We lease certain machinery and plant equipment under finance lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2027.2034. The aggregate carrying value of the leased equipment under finance leases included in property, plant and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31,September 30, 2021 is $59.9$33.7 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $39.9$38.6 million. The present value of lease installments not yet due included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31,September 30, 2021 amounts to $27.0$48.7 million.
Other ObligationsObligations.. Other obligations include deferred payments related to previous acquisitions of $44.7$44.9 million in the aggregate.Thisaggregate. This balance includes the deferred payment related to the 99designs acquisition totaling $43.7$44.4 million. Refer to Note 7 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Additional Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted 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. Adjusted 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 interest expense related to our Waltham, Massachusetts office lease less gain on purchase or sale of subsidiaries.
Adjusted EBITDA is the primary profitability metric by which we measure our consolidated financial performance and 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 certain 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.
Adjusted free cash flow is the primary financial metric by which we 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 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.
45


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 3.7A. 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 March 31,September 30, 2021, 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 March 31,September 30, 2021, we had $471.51,140 million of 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 March 31,September 30, 2021, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in rates, inclusive of our outstanding interest rate swaps, would result in an immateriala $4.0 million impact to interest expense 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:
37


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 income when, upon consolidation, those transactions are translated to U.S. dollars. When the value or timing of revenue and expenses in a given currency are materially different, we may be exposed to significant impacts on our net income 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, 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 income (expense), net, on the mark-to-market of outstanding contracts and (ii) realized gains and losses recognized in other income (expense), net, whereas the offsetting economic gains and losses are reported in the line item of the underlying 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 income (expense), 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 income (expense), net. We expect these impacts may be volatile in the
47


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.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-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 a increasechange of $3.3$0.9 million and $14.5$9.5 million, respectively, on our income (loss) income before income taxes for the years ended three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Item 4.9A. 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 March 31,September 30, 2021. 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
38


possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,September 30, 2021, 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 March 31,September 30, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
