- 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, 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.
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 six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
The following is a summary of the net carrying amount, unrealized losses, and fair value of held-to-maturity securities by type and contractual maturity as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

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 Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Cimpress plc
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to Cimpress plc is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Cimpress plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net income (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:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Six Months Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | 2023 | 2022 | |

| Weighted average anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Cimpress plc (1) | 192,204 | 3,286,936 | 189,927 | 2,987,875 |
(1)In the periods in which a net loss is recognized, the impact of share options, RSUs and warrants is excluded from shares used in computed diluted net income (loss) per share as it is anti-dilutive. Any equity awards that have a performance condition are not included in dilutive or anti-dilutive shares until the performance condition is met.
(2)On May 1, 2020, we entered into a financing arrangement with Apollo Global Management, Inc., which included 7-year warrants to purchase 1,055,377 of our ordinary shares 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, 2023, the average market price of our ordinary shares was higher than the strike price of the warrants, as such the weighted average dilutive effect of the warrants was 146,506 and 122,412, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, the average market price of our ordinary shares was lower than the strike price of the warrants; therefore, the total 1,055,377 outstanding warrants were considered anti-dilutive.
Share-based Compensation
Total share-based compensation costs were $17,649 and $30,102 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, as compared to $12,040 and $22,671 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022.
During the first half of fiscal year 2024, we issued PSUs (the "2024 PSUs") as part of our long-term incentive program. The 2024 PSUs include both a service and performance condition, and the related expense is recognized using an accelerated expense attribution over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The performance condition for these awards is based on one-year financial targets for fiscal year 2024 revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and unlevered free cash flow. Actual shares issued for each grant will range from 0% to 160% of the number of 2024 PSUs granted based on the attainment of the performance condition. Share-based compensation expense for these awards will be recognized on an accelerated basis using the grant date fair value and our estimated attainment percentage of the related performance condition. Until the performance condition is measured during the first fiscal quarter following the end of fiscal year 2024, changes in the estimated attainment percentages may cause expense volatility since a cumulative expense adjustment will be recognized in the period a change occurs.
Assets Held for Sale
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we began marketing our customer service facility located in Montego Bay, Jamaica for sale as part of the ongoing efforts to optimize our real estate footprint with many of our team members in Jamaica operating under a remote-first model. As such, we continue to classify the facility as held for sale, which has a carrying value of $16,595 recognized within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. We have not recognized any losses on the planned sale of these assets, since the expected sale price less selling costs remains above the carrying value.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted Accounting Standards
Supply Chain Finance Programs
In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" (ASU 2022-04), which provides authoritative guidance about expanded disclosure requirements for supply chain finance programs. The new standard requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supply chain finance programs and a rollforward of the related amounts due to suppliers participating in these programs. The adoption of the new disclosure requirements was effective for the current quarter, except for a rollforward of activity within supply chain finance programs, which is effective as part of our annual disclosures for fiscal year 2025. The adoption of the new standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program through a financial intermediary, which provides certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediary earlier than the due date of the applicable invoice. The decision to sell receivables due from us is at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institution. Our responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with each supplier, regardless of whether a supplier participates in the program. We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial institution and the suppliers in connection with the program, we do not receive financial incentives from the suppliers or the financial institution, nor do we reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur for participating in the program. There are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the financial institution.
All unpaid obligations to our supply chain finance provider are included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets, and payments we make under the program are reflected as a reduction to net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The outstanding obligations with our supply chain finance provider that are included in accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 were $55,777 and $44,522, respectively.
Accounting Standards to be Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" (ASU 2023-09), which provides authoritative guidance about expanded annual disclosure requirements for the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The expanded disclosure requirements will be effective starting with our annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, but we do not intend to early adopt this standard.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" (ASU 2023-07), which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and introduces a reconciliation between segment revenue and segment profitability metrics. The expanded disclosure requirements will be effective starting with our annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, as well as each interim period thereafter. Early adoption is permitted, but we do not intend to early adopt this standard.
- 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, 2023 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | Quoted Prices inActiveMarkets forIdentical Assets(Level 1) | Significant OtherObservable Inputs(Level 2) | SignificantUnobservableInputs(Level 3) | |

| Total liabilities recorded at fair value | $(9,317) | $— | $(9,317) | $— |
During the six months ended December 31, 2023 and year ended June 30, 2023, 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 risks 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, 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 December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, 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, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the carrying value of our debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts, was $1,626,325 and $1,653,989, respectively, and the fair value was $1,625,473 and $1,604,190, respectively. Our debt at December 31, 2023 includes variable-rate debt instruments indexed to Term SOFR and Euribor that reset 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, 2023 and June 30, 2023, our held-to-maturity marketable securities were held at an amortized cost of $17,239 and $43,037, respectively, while the fair value was $17,148 and $42,667, 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.
- 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, 2023, we estimate that $4,356 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, we had eleven effective outstanding interest rate swap contracts that were indexed to Term or Daily SOFR.
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, 2023 (1) | $245,000 |
| Contracts with a future start date | 430,000 |
| Total | $675,000 |
(1)Based on contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2023, the notional value of our contracted interest rate swaps accruing interest will fluctuate between $215,000 and $380,000 through April 2028 based on layered start dates and maturities.
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 December 31, 2023, we hadone 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, 2023, we estimate that $809 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending December 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 December 31, 2023, we have one intercompany loan designated as a net investment hedge with a total notional amount of $323,242 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, 2023 and 2022, 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.
In most cases, we enter into these currency derivative contracts, for which we do not apply hedge accounting, in order to address the risk for certain currencies where we have a net exposure to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial metric. Adjusted EBITDA exposures are our focus for the majority of our mark-to-market currency forward and option contracts because a similar metric is referenced within the debt covenants of our amended and restated senior secured credit agreement (refer to Note 8 for additional information about this agreement). Our most significant net currency exposures by volume are the Euro and the British Pound (GBP). Our adjusted EBITDA hedging approach results in addressing nearly all of our forecasted Euro and GBP net exposures for the upcoming twelve months, with a declining hedged percentage out to twenty-four months. For certain other currencies with a smaller net impact, we hedge nearly all of our forecasted net exposures for the upcoming six months, with a declining hedge percentage out to fifteen months.
As of December 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, Canadian Dollar, Czech Koruna, Danish Krone, Euro, GBP, Indian Rupee, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Krone, Philippine Peso, Swiss Franc and Swedish Krona:
| Notional Amount | Effective Date | Maturity Date | Number of Instruments | Index |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $626,697 | March 2022 through December 2023 | Various dates through December 2025 | 608 | Various |

Our various debt arrangements described below contain customary representations, warranties, and events of default. As of December 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 7.0% Senior Notes due 2026 ("2026 Notes").
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 currently bears interest at Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment as defined by our Restated Credit Agreement (with an Adjusted Term SOFR rate floor of 0.50%) plus 3.50%, and
a €300,000 tranche that currently 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 currently bear interest at Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment as defined by our Restated Credit Agreement (with an Adjusted Term SOFR rate 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.
The LIBOR sunset occurred on June 30, 2023, and under the terms of our Restated Credit Agreement, our benchmark rate transitioned to Term SOFR in July 2023.
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, 2023, we have borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement of $1,098,366 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, 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement was 7.91%, 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.
Senior Unsecured Notes
As of December 31, 2023, we have $522,135 in aggregate principal outstanding of our 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. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, we purchased an aggregate principal amount of $26,165 for a purchase price of $24,471, as well as the related settlement of unpaid interest. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, we have recognized gains on the extinguishment of debt of $349 and $1,721, respectively.
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, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we had $5,824 and $7,076, respectively, outstanding for those obligations that are payable through September 2027.
- Income Taxes
Our income tax expense was $16,795 and $24,917 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, as compared to $126,129 and $135,494 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Tax expense decreased year over year primarily related to the full valuation allowance that was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 on Swiss deferred tax assets of $116,694 primarily related to Swiss tax reform benefits recognized in fiscal year 2020 and tax loss carryforwards. This was partially offset by increased tax on increased profits. Excluding the effect of discrete tax adjustments, our estimated annual effective tax rate is higher for fiscal year 2024 than for fiscal year 2023 primarily due to forecasted pre-tax profits in fiscal year 2024 as compared to a pre-tax loss in fiscal year 2023. 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. We continuously analyze our valuation allowance positions and the weight of objective and verifiable evidence of actual results against the more subjective evidence of anticipated future income.
As of December 31, 2023 we had unrecognized tax benefits of $16,141, including accrued interest and penalties of $1,953. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, $7,275 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 $1,200 to $1,300 related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations or settlement. 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 2023 remain open for examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the years 2015 through 2023 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.
- 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. These noncontrolling interests span multiple businesses and reportable segments.
The following table presents the reconciliation of changes in our noncontrolling interests:
| Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest | Noncontrolling Interest | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance as of June 30, 2023 | $10,893 | $459 |
| Accretion to redemption value recognized in retained earnings (1) | 465 | — |
| Accretion to redemption value recognized in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (1) | 1,915 | — |
| Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests | 92 | 157 |
| Distribution to noncontrolling interests | (200) | — |
| Foreign currency translation | 227 | 11 |
| Balance as of December 31, 2023 | $13,392 | $627 |
(1)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. Any change in the estimated redemption amount which exceeds the estimated fair value is recognized within net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.
- 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, 2023, 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.
PrintBrothers - Includes the results of our druck.at, Printdeal, and WIRmachenDRUCK businesses, which is a collection of Upload & Print businesses that serves graphic professionals throughout Europe, primarily in Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland .
The Print Group- Includes the results of our Easyflyer, Exaprint, Packstyle, Pixartprinting, and Tradeprint businesses, which is a collection of Upload & Print businesses that serves graphic professionals throughout Europe, primarily in France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
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.
BuildASign is a provider of canvas-print wall décor, business signage and other large-format printed products.
Printi, a smaller business that we continue to manage at a relatively modest operating loss, is an online printing leader in Brazil.
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 fair value and is required to be expensed on an accelerated basis. In order to ensure comparability in measuring our businesses' results, we allocate the straight-line portion of the fixed grant value to our businesses. Any expense in excess of the amount as a result of the fair value measurement of the PSUs and the accelerated expense profile of the awards is recognized within central and corporate costs.
Our definition of segment EBITDA is GAAP operating income excluding certain items, such as depreciation and amortization, expense recognized for contingent earn-out related charges including the changes in fair value of contingent consideration and compensation expense related to cash-based earn-out mechanisms dependent upon continued employment, share-based compensation related to investment consideration, certain impairment expense, and restructuring charges. We include insurance proceeds that are not recognized within operating income. We do not allocate non-operating income, including realized gains and losses on currency hedges, to our segment results.
Our balance sheet information is not presented to the CODM on an allocated basis, and therefore we do not present asset information by segment. We do present other segment information to the CODM, which includes purchases of property, plant and equipment and capitalization of software and website development costs, and therefore include that information in the tables below.
Revenue by segment is based on the business-specific websites or sales channel through which the customer’s order was transacted. The following tables set forth revenue by reportable segment, as well as disaggregation of revenue by major geographic region and reportable segment.

(1)During fiscal year 2023, we identified an immaterial error in our previously disclosed revenue by geographic area for our Vista reportable segment for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, which understated revenue in North America and Europe, with an offsetting overstatement in the Other geographies. We have corrected the disclosed figures as included herein.

(2) The decrease in the United States long-lived assets is due to the reclassification of a tax receivable from non-current to current during the current fiscal year.
(3) The decrease in Jamaica's long-lived assets is due to the planned sale of an owned customer service facility as we continue to optimize our real estate footprint with many of these team members operating under a remote-first model, which resulted in the classification of the related assets as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2023. The asset is now presented as part of prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 2 for additional details.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
At December 31, 2023, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $208,113, including inventory, third-party fulfillment and digital service purchase commitments of $93,352; third-party cloud services of $56,113; software of $17,388; advertising of $6,888; professional and consulting fees of $5,973; production and computer equipment purchases of $2,468; and other unrecorded purchase commitments of $25,931.
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.
- 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, 2023, we recognized restructuring expense of $483 and $149, respectively. The restructuring charges recognized in the current period primarily include adjustments made to the previously estimated restructuring expense for actions taken in our Vista and National Pen reportable segments. We do not expect any additional material charges for these restructuring actions.
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, we recognized restructuring expense of $11,207 and $13,027, respectively.The prior periods' restructuring charges were primarily recognized in our Vista reportable segment, related to the impairment and write-off of assets associated with our exit of the Japanese market. Additionally, we recognized $3,561 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 within our All Other Businesses reportable segment, which included losses related to the sale of our Chinese business.
The following table summarizes the restructuring activity during the six months ended December 31, 2023.
