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.

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 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 the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

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 December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

_____________________

(1) Includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments, as well as the ineffective portion of certain interest rate swap contracts that were de-designated from hedge accounting in the prior periods. For contracts not designated as hedging instruments, we realized gains of $16,368 and $30,988 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, and losses of $746 and $4,418 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 4 for additional details relating to our derivative contracts.

(2) Currency-related gains, 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) Income Per Share Attributable to Cimpress plc

Basic net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Cimpress plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net (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:


	Three Months Ended December 31,		Six Months Ended December 31,
	2022	2021	2022	2021
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic	26,234,747	26,096,786	26,206,782	26,084,518
Weighted average shares issuable upon exercise/vesting of outstanding share options/RSUs/warrants (1)	—	305,917	—	408,740
Shares used in computing diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc	26,234,747	26,402,703	26,206,782	26,493,258
Weighted average anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc (1)(2)	3,286,936	567,220	2,987,875	292,834

___________________

(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 six months ended December 31, 2022, the weighted average anti-dilutive effect of the warrants was 1,055,377 shares in both periods, and 281,884 and 345,722 shares for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, 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.

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:


	December 31, 2022
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

During the six months ended December 31, 2022 and year ended June 30, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022 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 December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the carrying value of our debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts, was $1,706,972 and $1,705,365, respectively, and the fair value was $1,530,471 and $1,600,627, respectively. Our debt at December 31, 2022 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 December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 our held-to-maturity marketable securities were held at an amortized cost of $102,177 and $49,952, respectively, while the fair value was $101,247 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 (expense) income, net.

Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

We enter into interest rate swap contracts to manage variability in the amount of our known or expected cash payments related to a portion of our debt. Our objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. We designate our interest rate swaps as

cash flow hedges. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the contract agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Realized gains or losses from interest rate swaps are recorded in earnings as a component of interest expense, net. 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 December 31, 2022, we estimate that $8,207 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, we had fourteen effective outstanding interest rate swap contracts. Twelve 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:	Notional Amounts
Contracts accruing interest as of December 31, 2022	$	400,000
Contracts with a future start date	430,000
Total	$	830,000

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 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 December 31, 2022, 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 (expense) income, net as interest payments are accrued or paid and upon remeasuring the intercompany loan. As of December 31, 2022, we estimate that $1,794 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending December 31, 2023.

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 December 31, 2022, 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 six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we experienced volatility within other (expense)

income, net, in our consolidated statements of operations from unrealized gains and losses on the mark-to-market of outstanding currency forward and option contracts. We expect this volatility to continue in future periods for contracts for which we do not apply hedge accounting. Additionally, since our hedging objectives may be targeted at non-GAAP 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 December 31, 2022, 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:

(1) Balances as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 are inclusive of short-term debt issuance costs, debt premiums and discounts of $3,502 and $3,498, respectively.

Our various debt arrangements described below contain customary representations, warranties and events of default. As of December 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022, we have borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement of $1,100,238 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 December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement was 6.52%, 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 December 31, 2022.

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 December 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, we had $6,734 and $8,063, respectively, outstanding for those obligations that are payable through March 2027.

9. Income Taxes

Our income tax expense was $126,129 and $135,494 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to $17,298 and $26,679 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Tax expense increased year over year for both comparable periods due to the Swiss valuation allowance, discussed below, offset by lower tax expense on decreased profits. 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.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we recorded a full valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $116,694 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.

As of December 31, 2022 we had unrecognized tax benefits of $15,852, including accrued interest and penalties of $1,658. 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 current quarter 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 requires the reclassification of the remaining equity interests to a liability, which has been presented in other liabilities within our consolidated balance sheet.

The following table presents the reconciliation of changes in our redeemable noncontrolling interests:


	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Balance as of June 30, 2022	$	131,483


Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests	2,160
Distribution to noncontrolling interests (1)	(3,652)
Purchase of noncontrolling interest (2)	(95,567)
Accretion to redemption value (3)	(7,455)
Reclassification to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest (4)	(9,582)

Foreign currency translation	(4,822)
Balance as of December 31, 2022	$	12,565

_________________

(1) Distributions to noncontrolling interests include contractually required profit sharing payments made annually to the minority interest holders in one of the PrintBrothers businesses.

(2) 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. We also purchased the 1% minority interest in our BuildASign business this quarter.

(3) 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.

(4) 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

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 December 31, 2022, we have numerous operating segments under our management reporting structure which are reported in the following five reportable segments:

•Vista - Vista is the parent brand of multiple offerings including VistaPrint, VistaCreate, 99designs by Vista, Vista Corporate Solutions, and Depositphotos, which together represent a full-service design, digital and print solution, elevating small businesses’ presence in physical and digital spaces and empowering them to achieve success.

•PrintBrothers - Includes the results of our druck.at, Printdeal, and WIRmachenDRUCK businesses.

•The Print Group - Includes the results of our Easyflyer, Exaprint, Pixartprinting, and Tradeprint businesses.

•National Pen - Includes the global operations of our National Pen business, which manufactures and markets custom writing instruments and promotional products, apparel and gifts.

•All Other Businesses - Includes two businesses grouped together based on materiality. In addition to BuildASign, which is a larger and profitable business, the All Other Businesses reportable segment consists of another, smaller business that we continue to manage at a relatively modest operating loss.

◦BuildASign is an internet-based provider of canvas-print wall décor, business signage and other large-format printed products, based in Austin, Texas.

◦Printi is an online printing leader in Brazil, which offers a superior customer experience with transparent and attractive pricing, reliable service and quality.

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.

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 $1,923 and $3,042 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021.

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.

___________________

(1) Excludes goodwill of $776,788 and $766,600, intangible assets, net of $131,274 and $154,730, deferred tax assets of $9,519 and $113,088, and marketable securities, non-current of $17,107 and zero as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

(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 December 31, 2022, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $235,619, including third-party cloud services of $87,452; inventory, third-party fulfillment and digital service purchase commitments of $69,588; software of $28,874; advertising of $20,862; production and computer equipment purchases of $5,798; professional and consulting fees of $4,206, and other unrecorded purchase commitments of $18,839.

Other Obligations

We deferred payments for several of our acquisitions, resulting in the recognition of a liability of $6,838 as of December 31, 2022, which primarily relates to a deferred payment for our acquisition of Depositphotos that is expected to be paid during the third quarter of fiscal 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 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 six months ended December 31, 2022, we recognized restructuring charges of $11,207 and $13,027, respectively, and immaterial charges in the prior comparable periods. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, $7,265 and $8,722, respectively, were recognized in our Vista reportable segment primarily related to the impairment and write-off of assets associated with our previously announced plan to exit the Japanese market. In addition, we recognized $3,561 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 within our All Other Businesses reportable segment, which includes losses related to our planned sale of our Chinese business, which closed in January 2023. The remaining costs in the current periods include severance and related benefits associated with previously announced actions in our National Pen reportable segment and in our central and corporate costs.

The following table summarizes the restructuring activity during the six months ended December 31, 2022.

Executive Overview

As of December 31, 2022, 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.

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 "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 six months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 follows:

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2023

•Revenue was flat at $845.2 million.

•Constant-currency revenue increased by 6% and by 5% when excluding the revenue of acquired companies for the first twelve months after acquisition (both non-GAAP financial measures).

•Operating income decreased by $52.4 million to $33.6 million.

•Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased by $30.9 million to $111.2 million.

•Diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc decreased from income of $2.08 to a loss of $5.34 per share in the current period.

Year to Date Fiscal Year 2023

•Revenue increased by 3% to $1,548.6 million.

•Constant-currency revenue increased by 10% and by 9% when excluding the revenue of acquired companies for the first twelve months after acquisition (both non-GAAP financial measures).

•Operating income decreased by $87.3 million to $15.6 million.

•Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased by $52.9 million to $156.8 million.

•Diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc decreased from income of $1.82 to a loss of $6.31 in the current period.

•Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $124.0 million to $55.9 million.

•Adjusted free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased by $121.1 million to $0.1 million.

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, reported revenue was flat year over year, and currency exchange fluctuations had a significant negative effect on revenue. Constant-currency revenue grew across all segments including growth in revenue from new customers in the Vista business; however, constant-currency revenue from consumer products in Vista and BuildASign during this seasonally important quarter was down slightly. The increase in constant-currency revenue was due to growth across all businesses including the impact of increased pricing during the past twelve months, as these actions were one tool we used to mitigate inflationary cost pressures.

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the decrease in operating income was primarily due to the impact of cost inflation, as well as unfavorable product mix shifts in our Vista business, which both weighed on gross margins. Inflationary pressures on raw materials, energy and labor were partially offset by actions taken to increase pricing. We also recognized an increase in restructuring charges of $10.9 million, primarily related to exiting our businesses in Japan and China, as well as increased advertising spend mainly in Vista, driven by mid- and upper-funnel advertising. These cost increases were partially offset by cost containment measures put in place during the current quarter, which offset some of the year-over-year decline in gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased year over year, primarily for the same reasons operating income decreased. 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 $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cimpress plc increased for the three months ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase in income tax expense of $108.8 million, driven by the recognition of a valuation allowance against Swiss deferred tax assets, for which we concluded recognition was no longer supported; the decrease in operating income as described above; and the effects of unrealized currency losses caused by exchanged rate volatility that more than offset realized gains recognized in the current quarter.

As described above, the impact of cost inflation, net of price increases, continues to weigh on year-over-year profitability, and, in the Vista business, unfavorable product mix shift also was a significant contributor to a year-over-year reduction in gross profit. Each of our reportable segments has seen material increases in the cost of product substrates like paper, production materials like aluminum plates, freight and shipping charges, energy and

higher compensation costs due to inflationary pressures and a more competitive labor market. We believe our scale-based shared strategic capabilities and supplier relationships provide competitive advantages for our businesses to weather these challenges. However, during the second quarter of the current fiscal year, we put in place further operating cost containment measures that helped offset some of these impacts. Over the remainder of the fiscal year, we plan to take further steps to significantly reduce our cost base in support of expanding profitability as we exit the fiscal year.

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, cash from operations decreased $124.0 million year over year due to the decrease in operating income described above, as well as decreased working capital cash flows of $77.6 million, largely driven by the continuation of elevated inventory levels that are intended to minimize availability risk, as well as less favorable benefits from accounts payable due in part to timing.

Adjusted free cash flow decreased year over year by $121.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, due to the operating cash flow decrease described above.

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.

Total revenue and revenue growth by reportable segment for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the following table:

_________________

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

(2) Constant-currency revenue growth excluding acquisitions/divestitures, a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes revenue results for businesses in the period in which there is no comparable year-over-year revenue. Our reportable segments-related growth is inclusive of inter-segment revenues, which are eliminated in our consolidated results. For example, revenue from 99designs, which we acquired on October 1, 2020 in Q2 2021, is excluded from revenue growth in Q1 of fiscal year 2022 since there are no full quarter results in the comparable period, but revenue is included in revenue growth for Q2 through Q4 of fiscal year 2022. 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.


In thousands	Three Months Ended December 31,						Six Months Ended December 31,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Cost of revenue	$	455,393		$	423,937		$	833,128		$	762,926
% of revenue	53.9		%	49.9		%	53.8		%	50.6		%

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, cost of revenue increased by $31.5 million and $70.2 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. 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, had varying impacts on our businesses during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022. We expect higher input costs to persist, although we are unable to predict for how long. We believe we are advantaged in this environment versus smaller competitors because our scale provides us with a stronger supplier negotiation position for both costs and availability of supply.

_____________________

(1) Refer to Note 13 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details relating to restructuring expense.

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 $7.5 million and $14.7 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, 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 $1.4 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, 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 restructuring actions that reduced headcount in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022.

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 six months ended December 31, 2022, marketing and selling expenses decreased by $3.5 million and increased by $22.8 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The decrease for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by favorable impacts from currency exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by increased advertising spend of $5.1 million, with increased spend across most businesses. The increased spend for the six months ended December 31, 2022 was due to higher advertising spend of $25.8 million across Cimpress (including increases in mid- and upper-funnel spend, partially offset by lower performance advertising in Vista) and higher 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 six months ended December 31, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million and $10.6 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.

Other Consolidated Results

Other (expense) income, net

Other (expense) income, net generally consists of gains and losses from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions or balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries, as well as the realized and unrealized gains and losses on some of our derivative instruments. In evaluating our currency hedging 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 (expense) income, net:


In thousands	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
(Losses) gains on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments	$	(24,196)	$	6,481	$	4,449	$	19,808
Currency-related gains, net	6,227		5,551		6,030		5,874
Other gains (losses)	577		807		(474)		327
Total other (expense) income, net	$	(17,392)	$	12,839	$	10,005	$	26,009

The decrease in other (expense) 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 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 $3.2 million and $2.3 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to an accretion adjustment of $2.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 for our mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. In addition, the interest expense, net increase was impacted by a higher weighted-average interest rate, partially offset by an increase in interest income earned on our cash and marketable securities.

Income tax expense


In thousands	Three Months Ended December 31,						Six Months Ended December 31,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Income tax expense	$	126,129		$	17,298		$	135,494		$	26,679
Effective tax rate	(1,016.3)		%	23.6		%	(487.6)		%	34.3		%

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 increased versus the prior comparative periods. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we recorded a full valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $116.7 million primarily related to Swiss tax reform benefits recognized in fiscal 2020 and tax loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2022, we concluded that objective and verifiable negative evidence of recent losses in Switzerland outweighed more subjective positive evidence of anticipated future income.

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 $3.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021.


In thousands	Three Months Ended December 31,							Six Months Ended December 31,

% of revenue	13		%	20		%		11		%	20		%

Segment Revenue

Vista's reported revenue growth for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 was negatively affected by a currency impact of 4% in both periods. Vista's organic constant-currency revenue growth was 2% and 5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022. Constant-currency revenue growth remained stronger in Europe, and constant-currency revenue in North America was flat during the typically seasonally significant second quarter. From a product perspective, the strongest growth was in the promotional products, apparel and gifts (PPAG) category, while holiday cards and invitations and announcements declined year over year particularly in the U.S. market. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, revenue growth was negatively impacted year over year by a decline in face mask sales of $3.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, as well as lower revenue year over year of $2.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, due to our planned exit from the Japanese market.

Segment Profitability

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, segment EBITDA declined by $35.6 million and $71.8 million, respectively. Gross profit declined year over year due to cost inflation partially offset by price increases, unfavorable changes in product mix, and negative currency impacts. Vista is experiencing the fastest growth in categories like promotional products, apparel and gifts that have lower gross margins despite higher average order values. Vista's advertising expense increased by $3.5 million and $23.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, driven by higher mid- and upper-funnel advertising which we are testing in certain markets as we believe it may improve awareness and consideration with customers and prospects, as well as reduce our reliance on paid search advertising. The increase to higher mid- and upper-funnel advertising spend was partially offset by reduced performance advertising spend for both periods presented.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, operating expenses increased $6.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively, year over year. The increase for the year-to-date period is primarily due to increased growth investments made last year, which is lower sequentially as the investments have largely been lapped during the current quarter. These cost increases primarily relate to growth investments that include the hiring of talent, especially in user experience, design, product management, and data and analytics, as well as the impacts of inflation-adjusted merit increases effective July 1, 2022 that were larger than recent years. Increased investment in our VistaCreate business (acquired with Depositphotos in October 2021) also negatively impacted Vista's segment EBITDA results by approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022. The investments are partially offset by the benefits from recent restructuring actions as well as further cost savings actions.

PrintBrothers


In thousands	Three Months Ended December 31,							Six Months Ended December 31,

% of revenue	13		%	14		%		12		%	13		%

Segment Revenue

PrintBrothers' reported revenue growth for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 was negatively affected by currency impacts of 12% and 15%, respectively, resulting in a constant-currency revenue growth of 20% and 22%, respectively. This strong growth was driven by the recent introduction of new products, 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 months ended December 31, 2022 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. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, Euro-based profitability increases were more than offset by year-over-year currency fluctuations. Currency exchange fluctuations negatively impacted segment EBITDA year over year by $1.8 million and $3.9 million, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, 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 six months ended December 31, 2022 was negatively affected by a currency impact of 12% and 15%, respectively, resulting in an increase to revenue on a constant-currency basis of 11% 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.

Segment Profitability

The decrease in The Print Group's segment EBITDA during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year periods, was driven by cost increases that included higher input costs that are impacted by ongoing supply chain disruptions and higher shipping and energy costs, which more than offset the benefits from the revenue growth described above. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, currency exchange fluctuations negatively impacted segment EBITDA year over year by $1.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Segment Revenue

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, National Pen's revenue growth was negatively affected by currency impacts of 6% and 7%, respectively, resulting in constant-currency revenue growth of 3% and 11%, 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. The year-over-year decline in face mask sales impacted National Pen's revenue by approximately $3.2 million and $7.3 million for the three and six months ended December 21, 2022, respectively.

Segment Profitability

The decrease in National Pen's segment EBITDA for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 was driven by negative currency impacts of $5.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Both gross margin and contribution margin were flat year over year when excluding currency impacts. National Pen has benefited from the start of cost reductions related to inbound and outbound freight costs that are more significant for this business given the extent of the supply chain that originates in China.

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.

Segment Revenue

All Other Businesses' constant-currency revenue growth was 3% and 6% during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. BuildASign's signage products grew at double-digit rates, while home decor products were flat during the seasonally significant second quarter. Printi delivered solid revenue growth across product lines and channels.

Segment Profitability

The decrease in segment EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, was due to higher input costs that had a larger impact during BuildASign's seasonally important second quarter and its home decor products. The increase in segment EBITDA for the six months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2021, was driven by higher revenue and increased marketing efficiencies at both businesses during the first quarter of the current year. As Printi grows, it continues to increase gross margins and contribution margins, driving closer to delivering a positive contribution to segment EBITDA.

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

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 increased by $0.9 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to the prior periods, due to compensation increases as a result of our inflation-adjusted annual merit cycle and volume-related technology costs. Partially offsetting the compensation increases were savings from actions taken in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 to reduce headcount. In addition, unallocated share-based compensation was favorable versus the prior year, due in part to the granting of RSUs and options for most employees during the current year, as compared to PSUs in prior years.

Net cash used in investing activities		(106,569)		(77,281)
Net cash used in financing activities		(112,715)		(49,357)

The cash flows during the six months ended December 31, 2022 related primarily to the following items:

Cash inflows:

•Net loss of $163.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $254.2 million primarily related to adjustments for deferred taxes of $116.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $81.8 million, unrealized currency-related losses of $20.9 million, and share-based compensation costs of $22.7 million

Cash outflows:

•Exercise of PrintBrothers' and BuildASign minority equity interest holders' put options for $95.6 million; refer to Note 10 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details

•Total net working capital impacts of $35.1 million were a use of cash. The majority of this change in net working capital is impacted by increases to inventory that is held to mitigate the risk of supply availability due to ongoing supply chain disruptions and unfavorable changes to accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities

•Purchase of held-to-maturity securities for $51.7 million, net of maturities

•Internal and external costs of $29.2 million for software and website development that we have capitalized

•Repayments of debt, net of proceeds from debt, for $6.6 million

•Payments for finance lease arrangements of $4.3 million

•$3.7 million of distributions to noncontrolling interest holders

•Payment of withholding taxes in connection with share awards of $2.4 million

Additional Liquidity and Capital Resources Information. At December 31, 2022, we had $111.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $102.2 million of marketable securities and $1,707.0 million of debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, 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.

Indefinitely Reinvested Earnings. As of December 31, 2022, 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 $51.8 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 $9.5 million as of December 31, 2022 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 $1.8 million in the aggregate outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

Purchase Commitments. At December 31, 2022, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $235.6 million. Purchase commitments consisted of third-party cloud services of $87.5 million; inventory, third-party fulfillment and digital service purchase commitments of $69.6 million; software of $28.9 million; advertising of $20.9 million; production and computer equipment purchases of $5.8 million; commitments for professional and consulting fees of $4.2 million; and other unrecorded purchase commitments of $18.8 million.

Senior Secured Credit Facility and Interest Payments. As of December 31, 2022, we have borrowings under our Restated Credit Agreement of $1,100.2 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 $243.7 million unused as of December 31, 2022. 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 June 30, 2022 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 December 31, 2022, 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.

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 December 31, 2022, we had $6.7 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 December 31, 2022 is $23.6 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $35.6 million. The present value of lease installments not yet due included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 amounts to $27.1 million.

Other Obligations. Other obligations consist of deferred payments relating to previous acquisitions, including the deferred payment relating to our Depositphotos acquisition that is payable in October 2022, subject to any outstanding indemnification claims.

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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our cash, cash equivalents and debt.

As of December 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022, we had $1,100 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 December 31, 2022, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in rates, inclusive of the impact of our outstanding interest rate swaps that are accruing interest as of December 31, 2022, would result in a $7.4 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 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 (expense) income, net, on the mark-to-market of outstanding contracts and (ii) realized gains and losses recognized in other (expense) income, net, whereas the offsetting economic gains and losses are reported in the line item of the underlying activity, for example, revenue.

•Translation of our non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities: Each of our subsidiaries translates its assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting gains and losses from translation are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet. Fluctuations in exchange rates can materially impact the carrying value of our assets and liabilities. We have currency exposure arising from our net investments in foreign operations. We enter into currency derivatives to mitigate the impact of currency rate changes on certain net investments.

•Remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities: Transaction gains and losses generated from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a subsidiary are included in other (expense) income, net, on the consolidated statements of operations. Certain of our subsidiaries hold intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. Due to the significance of these balances, the revaluation of intercompany loans can have a material impact on other (expense) income, net. We expect these impacts may be volatile in the future, although our largest intercompany loans do not have a U.S. dollar cash impact for the consolidated group because they are either 1) U.S. dollar loans or 2) we elect to hedge certain non-U.S. dollar loans with cross-currency swaps 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 $10.5 million and $14.0 million on our (loss) income before income taxes for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022.

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 December 31, 2022. 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 December 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
