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 of printing and related products, via which we deliver large volumes of individually small-sized customized orders. Our products include a broad range of marketing materials, business cards, signage, promotional products, logo apparel, packaging, books and magazines, wall decor, photo merchandise, invitations and announcements, and other categories. Mass customization is a core element of the business model of each Cimpress business and is a competitive strategy which seeks to produce goods and services to meet individual customer needs with near mass production efficiency.
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 for which the related equity securities do not have a readily determinable fair value, are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets; otherwise the investments are recognized by applying equity method accounting. 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.
Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests held by third parties in consolidated subsidiaries are considered mandatorily redeemable when they are subject to an unconditional obligation to be redeemed by both parties. The redeemable noncontrolling interest must be required to be repurchased on a specified date or on the occurrence of a specified event that is certain to occur and is to be redeemed via the transfer of assets. Mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented as liability-based financial instruments and are re-measured on a recurring basis to the expected redemption value.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the exercise of put options by the minority shareholders of three PrintBrothers businesses to redeem a portion of their equity interests triggered a mandatory redemption feature for the remaining minority interests after exercise. As such, we reclassified the remaining minority equity interests from redeemable noncontrolling interest to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest, which is presented as part of other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 10 for additional details.
10
Marketable Securities
We hold certain investments that are classified as held-to-maturity as we have the intent and ability to hold them to their maturity dates. Our policy is to invest in the following permitted classes of assets: overnight money market funds invested in U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, bank time deposits, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, and medium term notes. We invest in securities with a remaining maturity of two years or less. As the 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 the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
The following is a summary of the net carrying amount, unrealized gains, unrealized losses, and fair value of held-to-maturity securities by type and contractual maturity as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

(2) Currency-related gains (losses), net primarily relates to significant non-functional currency intercompany financing relationships that we may change at times and are subject to currency exchange rate volatility. In addition, we have a cross-currency swap designated as a cash flow hedge which hedges the remeasurement of an intercompany loan. Refer to Note 4 for additional details relating to this cash flow hedge.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Cimpress plc
Basic net loss per share attributable to Cimpress plc is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Cimpress plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net loss 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:

___________________
(1) In the periods in which a net loss is recognized, the impact of share options, RSUs and warrants is not included as they are anti-dilutive.
(2) On May 1, 2020, we entered into a financing arrangement with Apollo Global Management, Inc., which included 7-year warrants with a strike price of $
60
that have a potentially dilutive impact on our weighted average shares outstanding. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the weighted average anti-dilutive effect of the warrants was
1,055,377
shares in both periods, and
103,443
and
264,963
shares for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-06 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848" (ASU 2022-06), which extends the optional transition relief to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. The transition relief is provided through December 30, 2024 based on the expectation that the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) will cease to be published as of June 30, 2023. We applied the transition guidance to our two Term SOFR interest rate swap contracts this quarter and will apply the guidance when updating existing interest rate swap contracts to index to a replacement rate. There was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements in the periods presented.
In May 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-04 "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)" (ASU 2021-04), which provides authoritative guidance for the accounting treatment of contracts in an entity's own equity when calculating earnings per share. We adopted the standard on July 1, 2022. We recognize freestanding equity-classified warrants on our consolidated balance sheet and as the standard is applied prospectively, there was no impact on our consolidated financial statements in the current period.
Issued Accounting Standards to be Adopted
In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)" (ASU 2022-04), which provides authoritative guidance for expanded disclosure requirements for supply chain finance programs. The standard is effective on July 1, 2023. Cimpress businesses have an active supply chain finance program which will require additional disclosure after adoption of this standard. We will include the expanded disclosure requirements starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
12
3. Fair Value Measurements
We use a three-level valuation hierarchy for measuring fair value and include detailed financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
•
Level 1:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
•
Level 2:
Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
•
Level 3:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy:

The valuations of the derivatives intended to mitigate our interest rate and currency risk are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, interest rate volatility, or spot and forward exchange rates, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties' nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties' nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement. However, as of March 31, 2023, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the carrying value of our debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts, was
$
1,710,187
and $
1,705,365
, respectively, and the fair value was $
1,624,353
and $
1,600,627
, respectively. Our debt at March 31, 2023 includes variable-rate debt instruments indexed to LIBOR and Euribor 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 March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 our held-to-maturity marketable securities were held at an amortized cost of $
74,771
and $
49,952
,
respectively,
while the fair value was $
74,262
and
$
49,406
, respectively. The securities were valued using quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, which fall into Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair value of assets and liabilities disclosed above may not be representative of actual values that could have been or will be realized in the future.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
We use derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts, cross-currency swap contracts, and currency forward and option contracts, to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Derivatives are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. If a 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. We have designated one intercompany loan as a net investment hedge, and any unrealized currency gains and losses on the loan are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. 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, 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
14
related to interest rate swap contracts will be reclassified to interest expense, net as interest payments are accrued or made on our variable-rate debt.
As of March 31, 2023, we estimate that $
6,830
of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending March 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2023, we had
sixteen
effective outstanding interest rate swap contracts. Fourteen of our swaps are indexed to USD LIBOR, while the remaining two are indexed to Term SOFR. The transition relief guidance from ASC 848 was applied to designate the two Term SOFR swap contracts that we entered into during the current quarter for hedge accounting. After USD LIBOR sunsets on June 30, 2023, we may convert our contracts to index to Term SOFR, otherwise the contracts will be subject to the fallback language within our credit agreement.
Our interest rate swap contracts have varying start and maturity dates through April 2028.
Interest rate swap contracts outstanding:

Total
$

Hedges of Currency Risk
Cross-Currency Swap Contracts
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 hedged currency in exchange for our reporting currency based on a contracted exchange rate. Subsequently, we receive fixed rate payments in our reporting currency in exchange for fixed rate payments in the hedged currency over the life of the contract. At maturity, the final exchange involves the receipt of our reporting currency in exchange for the notional amount in the hedged currency.
Cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges are executed to mitigate our currency exposure to the interest receipts as well as the principal remeasurement and repayment associated with certain intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2023, we had
one
outstanding cross-currency swap contract designated as a cash flow hedge with a total notional amount of $
58,478
, maturing during June 2024. We entered into the cross-currency swap contract 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, net as interest payments are accrued or paid and upon remeasuring the intercompany loan. As of March 31, 2023, we estimate that
$
1,744
of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending March 31, 2024.
Other Currency Hedges
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. These contracts or intercompany loans may be designated as hedges to mitigate the risk of changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of a portion of our net investment in 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.
As of March 31, 2023, we have one intercompany loan designated as a net investment hedge with a total notional amount of $
364,524
that matures in May 2028.
We have elected to not apply hedge accounting for all other currency forward and option contracts. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we experienced volatility within other income, net, in our consolidated statements of operations from unrealized gains and losses on the mark-to-market of outstanding currency forward and option contracts. We expect this volatility to continue in future periods for contracts for which we do not apply hedge accounting. Additionally, since our hedging objectives may be targeted at non-GAAP
15
financial metrics that exclude non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, we may experience increased, not decreased, volatility in our GAAP results as a result of our currency hedging program.
As of March 31, 2023, we had the following outstanding currency derivative contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting and were primarily used to hedge fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of forecasted transactions or balances denominated in Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Danish Krone, Euro, Indian Rupee, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Krone, Philippine Peso, Swiss Franc and Swedish Krona:

(1) During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we executed against a plan to reduce costs and implement organizational changes to support expanded profitability, reduced leverage, and increased speed, focus, and accountability. The impact of these cost reductions occurred within the Vista business and Cimpress central teams. Refer to Note 13 for additional details.
(2) The increase in interest payable as of March 31, 2023 is due to the interest on our 2026 Notes being payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. Refer to Note 8 for further detail.
(3) Includes cash-based employee long-term incentives, which are variable based on the performance of individual businesses and vest over four years. As the first potential payout will occur within one year, a portion of the balance is now classified as a current liability within accrued expenses.

3,503
and $

, respectively.
Our various debt arrangements described below contain customary representations, warranties and events of default. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants in our debt contracts, including those under our amended and restated senior secured credit agreement ("Restated Credit Agreement") and the indenture governing our 2026 Notes (as defined below).
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On May 17, 2021, we entered into a Restated Credit Agreement consisting of the following:
•
A senior secured Term Loan B with a maturity date of May 17, 2028 (the “Term Loan B”), consisting of:
◦
a $
795,000
tranche that bears interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of
0.50
%) plus
3.50
%, and
◦
a €
300,000
tranche that bears interest at EURIBOR (with a EURIBOR floor of
0
%) plus
3.50
%; and
•
A $
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, a net leverage calculation, as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement.
LIBOR is expected to sunset on June 30, 2023, and under the terms of our Restated Credit Agreement our benchmark rate will automatically transition to Term SOFR.
The Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants that restrict or limit certain activities and transactions by Cimpress and our subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens; certain fundamental organizational changes; asset sales; certain intercompany activities; and certain investments and restricted payments, including purchases of Cimpress plc’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 March 31, 2023, we have borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement of $
1,102,509
consisting of the Term Loan B, which amortizes over the loan period, with a final maturity date of May 17, 2028. We have no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2023, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement was
6.94
%, 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
0.45
% depending on our First Lien Leverage Ratio. We have pledged the assets and/or share capital of a number of our subsidiaries as collateral for our debt as of March 31, 2023.
Senior Unsecured Notes
We have issued $
600,000
in aggregate principal of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), which are unsecured. We can 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 March 31, 2023, we have not redeemed any of the 2026 Notes.
20
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, 2023 and June 30, 2022, we had $
7,678
and $
8,063
, respectively, outstanding for those obligations that are payable through March 2027.
9. Income Taxes
Our income tax expense was $
8,475
and $
143,969
for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, as compared to $
29,529
and $
56,208
for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. Tax expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 versus the prior comparable period due to the partial valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $29,600 recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Tax expense increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 versus the prior comparable period due to the full valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $116,694 recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily related to Swiss tax reform benefits recognized in fiscal year 2020 and tax loss carryforwards. Management concluded that based on the current period results, that objective and verifiable negative evidence of recent losses in Switzerland outweighed more subjective positive evidence of anticipated future income. Excluding the effect of discrete tax adjustments, our estimated annual effective tax rate is lower for fiscal year 2023 as compared to fiscal year 2022 primarily due to a forecasted pre-tax loss. 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.
As of March 31, 2023 we had unrecognized tax benefits of $
16,759
, including accrued interest and penalties of $
1,803
. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, $
7,777
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 $
370
to $
420
related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. We believe we have appropriately provided for all tax uncertainties.
We conduct business in a number of tax jurisdictions and, as such, are required to file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions globally. The years 2014 through 2022 remain open for examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the years 2015 through 2022 remain open for examination in the various states and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. We believe that our income tax reserves are adequately maintained taking into consideration both the technical merits of our tax return positions and ongoing developments in our income tax audits. However, the final determination of our tax return positions, if audited, is uncertain, and there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
10. Noncontrolling Interests
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
For some of our subsidiaries, we own a controlling equity stake, and a third party or key members of the business management team own a minority portion of the equity. The put options for several of our noncontrolling interests were exercised during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 as summarized below. In addition to the noncontrolling interests described below, we also have several less significant minority interests that span multiple businesses and reportable segments.
PrintBrothers
Members of the PrintBrothers management team hold minority equity interests in several businesses within the reportable segment. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, put options were exercised by the minority interest holders for a portion of their equity interests that required us to purchase
10
% to
11
% in three of the respective businesses for a total of $
90,841
. The exercise of the put options triggered a mandatory redemption feature for the remaining minority equity interests, which requires the purchase of the remaining 1% equity interests on the third anniversary of the put option exercise, absent the earlier exercise of a call option on the first and second anniversaries by Cimpress. The remaining noncontrolling interests are mandatorily redeemable, which required the reclassification of the remaining equity interests to a liability, which has been presented in other liabilities within our consolidated balance sheet.

_________________
(1) During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we acquired a majority equity interest in an immaterial business within our PrintBrothers reportable segment.
(2) Distributions to noncontrolling interests include contractually required profit sharing payments made annually to the minority interest holders in one of the PrintBrothers businesses.
(3) As discussed above, we purchased an additional 10% to 11% of the equity interests in three PrintBrothers businesses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, as well as the 1% minority interest in our BuildASign business.
(4) Accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value recognized in retained earnings is the result of changes in the estimated redemption amount to the extent increases do not exceed the estimated fair value.
(5) During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the minority equity interest holders of three PrintBrothers businesses exercised a put option that triggered a mandatory redemption feature for the remaining minority equity interests. The remaining minority equity interests were reclassified to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests, as part of other liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. Refer above for additional information regarding the transaction and Note 7 for additional details about the reclassified liability balance.
11. Segment Information

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
22
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.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we revised our internal reporting to reallocate certain third-party technology costs that were previously held within our Central and corporate costs to our Vista business and reportable segment. These include certain third-party costs that are variable in nature and the cost variability is primarily driven by decisions or volumes in the Vista business. We revised our presentation of the prior period results to reflect our updated segment reporting, which decreased both Vista segment EBITDA and Central and corporate costs by $
1,852
and $
4,894
for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022.
Our balance sheet information is not presented to the CODM on an allocated basis, and therefore we do not present asset information by segment. We do present other segment information to the CODM, which includes purchases of property, plant and equipment and capitalization of software and website development costs, and therefore include that information in the tables below.
Revenue by segment is based on the business-specific websites or sales channel through which the customer’s order was transacted.
The following tables set forth revenue by reportable segment, as well as disaggregation of revenue by major geographic region and reportable segment.

(2) The decrease of the United States long-lived assets is primarily driven by the termination of our Waltham, MA lease in August 2022 that resulted in a reduction to the operating lease asset and related leasehold improvements.
(3) The decrease in Japan's long-lived assets is due to the planned sale of the land and building, which resulted in the reclassification of the carrying value to prepaid expenses and other current assets because it meets held-for-sale criteria during the current quarter. Refer to Note 13 for additional details.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
At March 31, 2023, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $
205,973
, including third-party cloud services of $
79,437
; inventory, third-party fulfillment and digital service purchase commitments of $
79,159
; software of $
16,870
; advertising of $
10,116
; production and computer equipment purchases of $
2,494
; professional and consulting fees of $
3,462
, and other unrecorded purchase commitments of $
14,435
.
Other Obligations
In February 2023, we made a $
6,785
deferred payment for our Depositphotos acquisition, resulting in no outstanding acquisition-related deferred liabilities as of March 31, 2023.
Legal Proceedings
We are not currently party to any material legal proceedings. Although we cannot predict with certainty the results of litigation and claims to which we may be subject from time to time, we do not expect the resolution of any of our current matters to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. For all legal matters, at each reporting period, we evaluate whether or not a potential loss amount
26
or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. We expense the costs relating to our legal proceedings as those costs are incurred.
13. Restructuring Charges
Restructuring costs include one-time employee termination benefits, acceleration of share-based compensation, write-off of assets, costs to exit loss-making operations, and other related costs including third-party professional and outplacement services. All restructuring costs are excluded from segment and adjusted EBITDA.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized restructuring charges of $
30,115
and $
43,142
, respectively. The majority of these costs related to actions taken in our Vista business and central teams during March 2023 that were intended to reduce costs and support expanded profitability, reduced leverage, and increased speed, focus and accountability. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the previously described action combined with prior actions taken to prioritize our investments and exit the Japanese market resulted in restructuring charges in our Vista business of $
20,406
and $
29,128
, and in our central and corporate costs of $
9,075
and $
9,330
, respectively.
Most of these costs related to employee termination benefits, and, to a lesser extent, share-based compensation expense for the accelerated vesting of equity awards as well as third-party consulting costs. A portion of the restructuring charge included the impairment of assets from our exit of the Japanese market of $
6,257
. We expect additional restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 for termination benefits that included ongoing service requirements, but we do not expect those charges to be material.
We also recognized restructuring charges in our National Pen business for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 in the amounts of $
639
and $
1,127
, respectively, which included employee termination benefits for previously announced actions to exit the Japanese market and to migrate our European production operations from Ireland to the Czech Republic. Additionally, we recognized restructuring costs of $
3,556
for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 in our All Other Businesses reportable segment for our previously announced exit from the Chinese market, which included employee termination benefits and the write-off of certain assets. We do not expect any additional charges for these restructuring actions.
The following table summarizes the restructuring activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this Report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including but not limited to our statements about the anticipated growth and development of our businesses and financial results, including profitability, cash flows, liquidity, and capital allocation; the expected effects of our cost reductions and recent restructuring, including future cost savings and restructuring charges; the expected impacts of our mass customization platform; the expected effects of mid- and upper-funnel advertising in Vista; sufficiency of our liquidity position; legal proceedings; and sufficiency of our tax reserves and expectation pf a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “may,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “designed,” “potential,” “continue,” “target,” “seek” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Report are based on information available to us up to, and including the date of this document, and we disclaim any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including but not limited to flaws in the assumptions and judgments upon which our forecasts and estimates are based; the development, severity, and duration of supply chain constraints, inflation, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; the failure of our cost reductions to affect our financial results as expected; our inability to make the investments that we plan to make or the failure of those investments to achieve the results we expect; our failure to execute on the transformation of the Vista business; loss of key personnel or our inability to recruit talented personnel to drive performance of our businesses; costs and disruptions caused by acquisitions and minority investments; the failure of businesses we acquire or invest in to perform as expected; our failure to develop and deploy our mass customization platform or the failure of the platform to drive the efficiencies and competitive advantages we expect; unanticipated changes in our markets, customers, or businesses; changes in the laws and regulations, or in the interpretation of laws and regulations, that affect our businesses; our failure to manage the growth and complexity of our business and expand our operations; our failure to maintain compliance with the covenants in our debt documents or to pay our debts when due; competitive pressures; general economic conditions, including the possibility of an economic downturn in some or all of our markets; and other factors described in this Report and the documents that we periodically file with the SEC.
Executive Overview
Cimpress is a strategically focused group of more than a dozen businesses that specialize in mass customization of printing and related products, via which we deliver large volumes of individually small-sized customized orders. Our products include a broad range of marketing materials, business cards, signage, promotional products, logo apparel, packaging, books and magazines, wall decor, photo merchandise, invitations and announcements, and other categories. Mass customization is a core element of the business model of each Cimpress business and is a competitive strategy which seeks to produce goods and services to meet individual customer needs with near mass production efficiency.
As of March 31, 2023, we have numerous operating segments under our management reporting structure that are reported in the following five reportable segments: Vista, PrintBrothers, The Print Group, National Pen, and All Other Businesses. Refer to Note 11 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our reportable segments and our segment financial measures.
We announced plans on March 23, 2023 to reduce costs within our Vista business and our central teams and implement organizational changes to support expanded profitability, reduced leverage and increased speed, focus, and accountability. These plans resulted in a restructuring charge of $30.1 million during the current quarter, with additional immaterial charges expected to be recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. This restructuring action provided a small cost savings benefit during the current quarter due to the timing of the action, but we expect this action to deliver approximately $100 million of annualized pre-tax cost savings.
Financial Summary
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; 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. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures are included within the
28
"Consolidated Results of Operations" and "Additional Non-GAAP Financial Measures" sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis. A summary of these key financial metrics for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 follows:
Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2023
•
Revenue increased by 13% to $742.2 million.
•
Constant-currency revenue increased 16% when excluding the revenue of acquired companies for the first twelve months after acquisition (a non-GAAP financial measure).
•
Operating income increased by $16.2 million to a loss of $12.2 million.
•

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, reported revenue growth accelerated, mainly in our Vista business as product mix shifted back toward faster-growing small business products and we are comparing to a weaker period in the prior-year quarter that included the migration of Vista's U.S. website onto the new technology platform. Our Vista business experienced growth in new customer count and new customer bookings across all major markets. Promotional products, apparel, and gifts (PPAG) was our fastest-growing product category, with business cards, marketing materials, packaging and labels, and signage all showing strong year-over-year growth as well. Revenue growth in most Cimpress businesses continued to benefit from year-over-year increases in pricing, which has been one tool used to mitigate inflationary cost pressures. Currency exchange fluctuations had a negative effect during the current quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the increase
in operating income was primarily due to the incremental profit from the revenue growth described above. Gross profit growth benefited from higher volumes and the reduced net impact of cost inflation. We also realized cost efficiencies in advertising spend, and lower compensation and consulting-related operating expenses. These items were partially offset by an increase in restructuring charges primarily related to actions taken during the current quarter to reduce costs in the Vista business and in our central teams.
Adjusted EBITDA increased year over year for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily for the same reasons operating income increased. Adjusted EBITDA excludes restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, certain impairments, and non-cash gains on the sale of assets, and includes the realized gains or losses on our currency derivatives intended to hedge adjusted EBITDA. The net year-over-year impact of currency on consolidated adjusted EBITDA was a benefit of approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cimpress plc increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to the improved operating loss described above, as well as significantly lower income tax expense year over year. These improvements were partially offset by increased interest expense and year-over-
29
year impact from the net effect of unrealized currency losses caused by exchange rate volatility that more than offset realized gains recognized in the current quarter.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, cash from operations decreased $63.2 million year over year due primarily to less favorable working capital inflows of $22.0 million, largely driven by less favorable benefits from accounts payable due in part to timing, as well as negative working capital impacts from higher inventory levels that were intended to mitigate supply chain issues. Cash from operations was also negatively impacted year over year by higher cash interest costs and restructuring payments due to actions taken to reduce costs over the past year.
Adjusted free cash flow decreased year over year by $52.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, due to the operating cash flow decrease described above, partially offset by lower capitalized software and capitalized expenditures.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Consolidated Revenue
Our businesses generate revenue primarily from the sale and shipment of customized products. We also generate revenue, to a much lesser extent (and primarily in our Vista business), from digital services, graphic design services, website design and hosting, and email marketing services, as well as a small percentage of revenue from order referral fees and other third-party offerings. For additional discussion relating to segment revenue results, refer to the "Reportable Segment Results" section included below.

_________________
(1) Constant-currency revenue growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the change in total revenue between current and prior year periods at constant-currency exchange rates by translating all non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue generated in the current period using the prior year period’s average exchange rate for each currency to the U.S. dollar. Our reportable segments-related growth is inclusive of inter-segment revenues, which are eliminated in our consolidated results.
30
(2) Constant-currency revenue growth excluding acquisitions/divestitures, a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes revenue results for businesses in the period in which there is no comparable year-over-year revenue. Our reportable segments-related growth is inclusive of inter-segment revenues, which are eliminated in our consolidated results.
We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide meaningful information regarding our results on a consistent and comparable basis for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Consolidated Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes materials used by our businesses to manufacture their products, payroll and related expenses for production and design services personnel, depreciation of assets used in the production process and in support of digital marketing service offerings, shipping, handling and processing costs, third-party production and design costs, costs of free products and other related costs of products our businesses sell.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, cost of revenue increased by $47.5 million and $117.7 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the continued effects of global supply chain challenges that resulted in increased costs for product substrates like paper, production materials like aluminum plates, freight and shipping charges, and energy costs, as well as additional variable cost increases driven by the constant-currency revenue growth described above. Although input costs were higher year over year during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we started to see some easing across many product substrates, and we began to pass the anniversary of input cost increases, so the year-over-year impact lessened. Compensation costs were also higher due to the combination of a more competitive labor market and the inflationary environment in many jurisdictions where we operate.
The overall impact of increased costs, net of pricing increases and manufacturing efficiencies, was minimal in the current quarter, though still a negative year-over-year impact for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

(1) As a result of the March 2023 cost reduction action described above, we expect to realize cost savings in future periods. The cost savings benefit during the current period was not material.
(2) Refer to Note 13 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details relating to restructuring expense.
31
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 increased by $3.0 million and $17.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, as compared to the prior-year periods. This increase is primarily driven by increased volume-related third-party technology costs due in part to higher customer demand. In addition, compensation costs increased year-over-year by $0.5 million and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, due to increases from our inflation-adjusted annual merit cycle and market adjustments. Other operating costs increased due to higher travel and training costs. These increases were partially offset by cost savings resulting from recent restructuring actions that reduced headcount.
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 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 due to differences in the customers that they serve.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, marketing and selling expenses decreased by $7.4 million and increased by $15.4 million, respectively, as compared to the prior-year periods. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by lower costs in our Vista business of $11.7 million, due in part to lower advertising spend. These decreases were partially offset by increased advertising spend collectively across all our other businesses of $4.9 million.
The increased spend for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was due to higher advertising spend of $26.6 million across Cimpress (including increases in mid- and upper-funnel spend, partially offset by lower performance advertising in Vista during the first half of the current fiscal year), partially offset by lower compensation costs in Vista year over year.
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, 2023, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million and $12.3 million, respectively, as compared to the prior-year periods. Compensation costs increased year over year from higher headcount and the impacts of our inflation-adjusted annual merit cycle. Other cost increases included higher travel and training costs and consulting spend.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized an additional $2.2 million of expense related to the termination of one of our leased office locations as we continue to optimize our office footprint with many of our team members operating under a remote-first model. These increases were partially offset by lower share-based compensation expense due to forfeitures from our recent restructuring actions, as well as favorability due to different timing of expense from our granting of RSUs and options for most employees during the current year, as compared to PSUs in prior years.
32
Restructuring expense
Restructuring costs include one-time employee termination benefits, acceleration of share-based compensation, write-off of assets, costs to exit loss-making operations, and other related costs including third-party professional and outplacement services. All restructuring costs are excluded from segment and adjusted EBITDA.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, restructuring expenses increased by $26.7 million and $39.7 million, respectively, as compared to the prior-year periods. This increase is largely driven by $29.5 million of costs recognized in the current quarter related to the previously described action taken in our Vista business and central teams during March 2023 that were intended to reduce costs and support expanded profitability, reduced leverage, and increased speed, focus and accountability. The remaining increase relates to other actions announced earlier in the year to prioritize our investments and exit the Japanese and Chinese markets. Refer to Note 13 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Other Consolidated Results
Other income, net
Other income, net generally consists of gains and losses from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions or balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries, as well as the realized and unrealized gains and losses on some of our derivative instruments. In evaluating our currency hedging 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 following table summarizes the components of other income, net:

The decrease in other income, 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 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 net gains due to currency exchange rate volatility on our non-functional currency intercompany relationships, which we may alter from time to time. The impact of certain cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges is included in our currency-related 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. In addition, accretion adjustments related to our mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests are recognized in interest expense, net. Refer to Note 7 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Interest expense, net increased by $6.3 million and $8.6 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, as compared to the prior-year periods, primarily due to a higher weighted-average interest rate (net of interest rate swaps) driving the majority of the interest expense increases, partially offset by an increase in interest income earned on our cash and marketable securities of $2.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively. In addition, we recognized accretion adjustments of $1.2 million and $3.3 million
during the three and
33
nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, for our mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests, which did not occur in the prior periods.

Tax expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 versus the prior comparable period due to the partial valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $29.6 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Tax expense increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 versus the prior comparable period due to the full valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $116.7 million recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2023.
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 9 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.
Reportable Segment Results
Our segment financial performance is measured based on segment EBITDA, which is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization; plus proceeds from insurance; plus share-based compensation expense related to investment consideration; plus earn-out related charges; plus certain impairments; plus restructuring related charges; less gain on purchase or sale of subsidiaries.
Vista
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we revised our internal reporting to reallocate certain third-party technology costs that were previously held within our Central and corporate costs to our Vista business and reportable segment. These include certain third-party costs that are variable in nature and the cost variability is primarily driven by decisions or volumes in the Vista business. We revised our presentation of all prior periods presented to reflect our updated segment reporting, which decreased both Vista segment EBITDA and Central and corporate costs by $1.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Segment Revenue
Vista's reported revenue growth for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was negatively affected by a currency impact of 2% and 4%, respectively. Vista's organic constant-currency revenue growth was 16% and 8%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023. Constant-currency revenue growth was driven by new customer count and new customer bookings growth across all major markets, as well as increased repeat customer bookings. From a product perspective, the strongest growth was in the promotional products, apparel and gifts (PPAG) category, as well as business cards, marketing materials, packaging and signage. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, holiday cards and invitations and announcements declined, particularly in the U.S. market, which had a more pronounced impact during our seasonally significant second quarter. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, revenue growth was negatively impacted year over year by a decline in face mask sales of $1.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, as well as lower revenue year over year of $2.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, due to our planned exit from the Japanese market.
34
Segment Profitability
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, segment EBITDA increased by $34.9 million, through a combination of factors including revenue growth described above. Gross margins were flat year over year as inflationary cost pressures began to lessen and further price increases were implemented. In addition, advertising spend decreased $4.1 million year over year, as a result of increased efficiency and a reduction in spend in non-core categories. We also continue to test a higher mix of mid- and upper-funnel advertising spend compared to lower-funnel spend, which we believe should help us improve awareness and consideration with customers and prospects with less reliance on paid search advertising. We delivered some operating expense efficiencies this quarter, although the cost reduction implemented and announced in March did not materially benefit the quarter.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, segment EBITDA decreased by $36.9 million, due in part to cost inflation that had a larger net impact on our results during the first half of fiscal 2023. Product mix weighed on Vista's gross margins during the first half of fiscal year 2023, when we experienced the fastest growth in product categories like PPAG that have lower gross margins although higher average order values. Changes in currency exchange rates had a negative impact during the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Vista's advertising expense increased by $19.4 million year over year, driven by higher mid- and upper funnel advertising spend, mainly during the first half of fiscal 2023. Operating expenses also increased $3.0 million due to increased growth investments made last year, which we've fully lapped during the current quarter and were starting to be offset by cost reductions implemented in March 2023.

PrintBrothers' reported revenue growth for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was negatively affected by currency impacts of 5% and 12%, respectively. When excluding the benefit from a small recent acquisition, organic constant-currency revenue growth was 22% and 21%, respectively. This strong performance was driven by growth in order volumes and price increases implemented to address inflationary cost increases.
Segment Profitability
Despite a challenging supply chain and inflationary environment, PrintBrothers' segment EBITDA for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 grew year over year, driven by the constant-currency revenue growth described above, as well as profit contribution from a business acquired in the last twelve months. Currency exchange fluctuations negatively impacted segment EBITDA year over year by $0.5 million and $4.4 million, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. We continue to focus on key areas within these businesses to exploit scale advantages and improve their cost competitiveness. These businesses also continue to adopt technologies that are part of our mass customization platform, which we believe will further improve customer value and the efficiency of each business over the long term.

Segment Revenue
The Print Group's reported revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was negatively affected by a currency impact of 6% and 11%, respectively, resulting in an increase to revenue on a constant-currency basis of
19% and
17%, respectively. Constant-currency revenue growth was largely driven by price increases that have been implemented over the past year to address inflationary cost increases, as well as volume growth and increased order fulfillment for other Cimpress businesses.
Segment Profitability
The increase in The Print Group's segment EBITDA during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the prior year, was driven by the revenue growth described above, as well as gross margin improvements due to lower shipping costs and benefits from a higher mix of insourced order production. The decrease in The Print Group's segment EBITDA during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the prior year was largely due to higher input costs that are impacted by supply chain disruptions and higher shipping and energy costs, which had a larger impact during the first half of fiscal 2023. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, currency exchange fluctuations negatively impacted segment EBITDA year over year by $0.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

Segment
Revenue
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, National Pen's revenue growth was negatively affected by currency impacts of 3% and 6%, respectively, resulting in constant-currency revenue growth of 15% and 12%, respectively. Constant-currency revenue growth was driven by price increases that have been implemented over the past year to address inflationary cost increases, as well as volume growth in new product categories that include bags and drinkware. Year-over-year revenue growth was negatively impacted by our planned exit from the Japanese market by approximately $2.6 million and $9.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, as well as the decline in face mask sales by approximately $1.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively.
Segment Profitability
The decrease in National Pen's segment EBITDA for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was driven by negative currency impacts of $1.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, segment EBITDA was negatively impacted by contribution margin compression due to increased ad spend across direct mail and web channels, as well as unfavorable product mix shifts to newer product introductions. In addition, operating expenses increased due to higher tech spend and customer service costs driven by higher sales volumes. For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, segment EBITDA benefited from lower advertising spend during the first half of the year, as well as less pronounced impacts from product mix shifts during that same period.

This segment consists of BuildASign, which is a larger and profitable business, and Printi, an early-stage business that we have managed at a relatively modest operating loss as previously described and planned. This segment also included results from our recently divested YSD business that was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
Segment Revenue
All Other Businesses' constant-currency revenue growth was 1% and 4% during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. BuildASign generates the majority of revenue in this segment, and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 revenue was flat year over year and grew for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, with mixed performance by product line. Printi delivered solid revenue growth across product lines and channels due to price increases implemented over the past year.
Segment Profitability
The decrease in segment EBITDA for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the prior comparative periods, was primarily due to lower gross margins driven by higher input costs that had a larger impact on BuildASign's home decor products, including increased labor and marketing costs.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we decided to divest our small, loss-making business in China (YSD), which is reported as part of this segment. Our loss was lower this quarter due to the decreased operating expenses as we prepared to divest the business, which was completed in early January 2023.
Central and Corporate Costs
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 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 teams 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.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we revised our internal reporting to reallocate certain third-party technology costs that were previously held within our Central and corporate costs to our Vista business. We have revised our presentation of all prior periods presented to reflect our revised segment reporting. Refer to Note 11 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Central and corporate costs decreased by $1.6 million and $2.1 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, as compared to the prior periods, driven by favorability from unallocated share-based compensation due to changes in the mix of equity instruments and forfeitures from recent cost reduction actions. These decreases were partially offset by compensation increases as a result of our inflation-adjusted annual merit cycle and volume-related technology costs.

Additional Liquidity and Capital Resources Information.
At March 31, 2023, we had $115.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, $74.8 million of marketable securities and $1,710.2 million of debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, we financed our operations and strategic investments through internally generated cash flows from operations and cash on hand. We expect to finance our future operations through our cash, investments, operating cash flow and borrowings under our debt arrangements.
In light of our recently implemented cost savings measures and our expectation of continued profitability expansion and cash flow generation, we expect our liquidity to increase in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 and in fiscal year 2024. We have historically used excess cash and cash equivalents for organic investments, share repurchases, acquisitions and equity investments, and debt reduction. We remain committed to reducing our net leverage through a combination of increased profits and lower net debt in line with the detailed plan we outlined in our investor update on March 24, 2023. Therefore, through fiscal year 2024 we expect capital allocation beyond current levels of organic investment to favor net debt reduction, which could include repurchases of our 7.0% Senior Notes due 2026.
Indefinitely Reinvested Earnings.
As of March 31, 2023, a portion of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our subsidiaries, and undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries that are considered to be indefinitely reinvested were $53.7 million. We do not intend to repatriate these funds as the cash and cash equivalent balances are generally used and available, without legal restrictions, to fund ordinary business operations and investments of the respective subsidiaries. If there is a change in the future, the repatriation of undistributed earnings from certain subsidiaries, in the form of dividends or otherwise, could have tax consequences that could result in material cash outflows.

___________________
(1) 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) Senior secured credit facility and interest payments include the effects of interest rate swaps, whether they are expected to be payments or receipts of cash.
(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 $9.6 million as of March 31, 2023 have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above. See Note 9 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information on uncertain tax positions.
Operating Leases
. We rent manufacturing facilities and office space under operating leases expiring on various dates through 2037. The terms of certain lease agreements require security deposits in the form of bank guarantees and letters of credit, with $1.5 million in the aggregate outstanding as of March 31, 2023
.
Purchase Commitments.
At March 31, 2023, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $206.0 million. Purchase commitments consisted of third-party cloud services of $79.4 million; inventory, third-party fulfillment and digital service purchase commitments of $79.2 million; software of $16.9 million; advertising of $10.1 million; production and computer equipment purchases of $2.5 million; commitments for professional and consulting fees of $3.5 million; and other unrecorded purchase commitments of $14.4 million.
Senior Secured Credit Facility and Interest Payments.
As of March 31, 2023, we have borrowings under our Restated Credit Agreement of $1,102.5 million consisting of the Term Loan B, which amortizes over the loan period, with a final maturity date of May 17, 2028. Our $250.0 million Revolving Credit Facility under our Restated Credit Agreement has $244.0 million unused as of March 31, 2023. There are no drawn amounts on the Revolving Credit Facility, but our outstanding letters of credit reduce our unused balance. Our unused balance can be drawn at any time so long as we are in compliance with our debt covenants and 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 (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) calculated as of the last day of such quarter shall not exceed 3.25 to 1.00. Any amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility will be due on May 17, 2026. Interest payable included in the above table is based on the interest rate as of March 31, 2023 and assumes all LIBOR-based revolving loan amounts outstanding will not be paid until maturity but that the term loan amortization payments will be made according to our defined schedule.
Senior Unsecured Notes and Interest Payments.
Our $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.
Debt Covenants.
The Restated Credit Agreement and the indenture that governs our 7.0% Senior Notes due 2026 contain covenants that restrict or limit certain activities and transactions by Cimpress and our subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants under our Restated Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our 2026 Notes. Refer to Note 8 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
39
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. As of March 31, 2023, we had $7.7 million outstanding for those obligations that have repayments due on various dates through March 2027.
Finance Leases.
We lease certain machinery and plant equipment under finance lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2028. 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, 2023 is $28.8 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $36.9 million. The present value of lease installments not yet due included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2023 amounts to $37.1 million.
Other Obligations.
In February 2023, we made a $6.8 million deferred payment for our Depositphotos acquisition, resulting in no outstanding acquisition-related deferred liabilities as of March 31, 2023.
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 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.
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.

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, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents consisted of standard depository accounts which are held for working capital 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, 2023, we had
$1,103 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, 2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in rates, inclusive of the impact of our outstanding interest rate swaps that are accruing interest as of March 31, 2023, would result in a $7.7 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:
•
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 loss when, upon consolidation, those transactions are translated to U.S. dollars. When the value or timing of revenue and expenses in a given
41
currency are materially different, we may be exposed to significant impacts on our net loss 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 maintain stability on our incurrence-based debt covenants. Since adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization that are included in net loss, we may experience increased, not decreased, volatility in our GAAP results due to our hedging approach. Our most significant net currency exposures by volume are in the Euro and British Pound.
In addition, we elect to execute currency derivatives contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, we may experience volatility in our consolidated statements of operations due to (i) the impact of unrealized gains and losses reported in other income, net, on the mark-to-market of outstanding contracts and (ii) realized gains and losses recognized in other income, 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, 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, net. We expect these impacts may be volatile in the future, although our largest intercompany loans do not have a U.S. dollar cash impact for the consolidated group because they are either 1) U.S. dollar loans or 2) we elect to hedge certain non-U.S. dollar loans with cross-currency swaps 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 change of $12.0 million and $24.8 million on our (loss) income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
42
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, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
