Previous wording

Some of our expenses, such as building leases, depreciation related to previously acquired property and equipment, and personnel costs, are relatively fixed. As a result, we sometimes have been, and may in the future be, unable or unwilling to adjust operating expenses to offset any revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any shortfall in revenue may cause significant variation in operating results in any period. Our operating results have, at times, fallen below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, which has led to declines in the price of our ordinary shares in the past and may do so again in the future.

Previous wording

States, whether based on statutes or through trade agreements, imposes and enforces significant tariffs applicable to imports from Canada, Mexico, China or any of the other countries in which we manufacture our products and/or source materials for any meaningful period, we would incur increased costs in operating our business and our financial results could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if other countries impose and enforce increased or additional tariffs for any meaningful period, our business could be materially and adversely affected. In addition to changes in U.S. trade policy, other changes to U.S. policy may impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. At this time we cannot predict the impact, if any, of any of these potential changes to our business. Until we know what policy changes are made and enforced and how those changes impact our business and the business of our competitors over the long term, we will not know if, overall, we will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.

Current wording

The trade and tariff environment applicable for the United States and other countries relevant to our operations continues to evolve and remains highly unpredictable. The United States has announced and/or implemented, and could continue to announce and/or implement, new and/or increased tariffs, duties, fees, customs requirements, and other trade restrictions on goods imported into the United States, which has generated, and could continue to generate, various trade and tariff-related responses from other countries. The statutory basis, scope, amount, duration, exemptions, and exclusions applicable to tariffs and trade-related measures and related de minimis treatment, customs entry processes, and other rules may evolve and do so quickly, including as a result of legislation, executive action, trade agreements, administrative guidance, or litigation. In particular, duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C) for low-value commercial shipments that would otherwise be eligible for that treatment has been suspended for shipments not covered by 50 U.S.C. § 1702(b), and the $800 commercial de minimis exemption is separately scheduled to be eliminated by statute effective July 1, 2027. Any loss, limitation, or uncertainty regarding duty-free treatment, customs entry processes, or exclusions for informational materials could increase our costs, require changes to our supply chain, fulfillment, logistics, pricing, or surcharge practices, or reduce demand for affected products. We operate manufacturing facilities throughout the world, including one in Ontario, Canada that primarily services our VistaPrint business, and others in Mexico, the United States, Australia, Brazil and throughout Europe. If the United States, whether based on statutes or through trade agreements, imposes and enforces significant tariffs or other trade-related measures applicable to imports from Canada, Mexico, China or any of the other countries in which we manufacture our products and/or source materials for any meaningful period, we would incur increased costs in operating our business and our financial results could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, if other countries impose and enforce increased or additional tariffs or other trade-related measures for any meaningful period, our business could be materially and adversely affected. For example, the United States has recently imposed or announced tariffs applicable to imports from Canada and many other countries in which we manufacture products or source materials, as further discussed below in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These measures could increase our costs, require changes to our supply chain, fulfillment, logistics, pricing, or surcharge practices, reduce demand for affected products, and materially and adversely affect our business and financial results. In addition to trade policy changes, changes to other U.S…

We have entered into derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate and currency movements. If we do not accurately forecast our results of operations, execute contracts that do not effectively mitigate our economic exposure to interest rates and currency rates, elect to not apply hedge accounting, or fail to comply with the complex accounting requirements for hedging, our results of operations and cash flows could be volatile, as well as negatively impacted. Also, our hedging objectives may be targeted at improving our non-GAAP financial metrics, which could result in increased volatility in our GAAP results. Since some of our hedging activity addresses long-term exposures, such as our net investment in our subsidiaries, the gains or losses on those hedges could be recognized before the offsetting exposure materializes to offset them, potentially causing volatility in our cash or debt balances, and therefore our leverage.

We are subject to the laws of many states, countries, and regions and industry guidelines and principles governing the collection, use, retention, disclosure, sharing, and security of data that we receive from and about our customers and employees. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with any of these laws, guidelines, or principles could result in actions against us by governmental entities or others, a loss of customer confidence, and damage to our brands. In addition, the regulatory landscape is constantly changing, as various regulatory bodies throughout the world enact new laws concerning privacy, data retention, data transfer, and data protection including possible limitations on our ability to use customer data and regulating the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Complying with these varying and changing requirements is challenging, especially for our smaller, more thinly staffed businesses, and could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business and operating results.

Our various businesses rely on a variety of marketing methods to attract new and repeat customers. These methods include promoting our products and services through paid channels such as online search, display, and television, as well as leveraging our owned and operated channels such as email, direct mail, our social media accounts, telesales, and SMS messaging. When the costs of these channels significantly increase or the effectiveness of these channels significantly declines, such as from changes to algorithms or targeting rules and/or from shifts in consumer behavior in online search and shopping related to artificial intelligence (AI)-based discovery tools and chatbots, which we have experienced in the past and may experience in the future, then our ability to efficiently attract new and repeat customers is reduced, our revenue and net income decline, and our business and results of operations are harmed.

Current wording

Shifts in online search behavior, including the rise of generative and agentic AI tools and technologies, may negatively impact customer traffic and acquisition efficiency and conversion rates, which could materially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Previous wording

Consumers are increasingly relying on generative AI tools and agentic search technologies, such as conversational search engines, autonomous shopping assistants, and AI-powered product recommendations, to discover, compare, and purchase products and services. These emerging tools represent a shift away from traditional search engine behavior and direct website visits, which have historically driven a significant portion of our customer traffic and conversion activity.

Current wording

These tools and technologies represent a shift away from traditional search engine behavior and direct website visits, which have historically driven a significant portion of our customer traffic and conversion activity. As these tools and technologies become more prevalent and integrated into consumers’ browsing and purchasing workflows, we may experience a decline in visibility within digital ecosystems we do not directly control. This could include, among other things, lower rankings in AI-generated product summaries, reduced referral traffic from major platforms, or increased reliance on third-party interfaces that prioritize competing offerings. These changes could adversely affect our customer acquisition cost, conversion rates, and overall brand control. Furthermore, our ability to adapt to new search paradigms may be limited by technology constraints, data availability, or platform interoperability, especially if generative and agentic AI search providers restrict access to their ecosystems or favor end-to-end platforms that control the full customer journey. Failure to effectively navigate this shift could materially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Previous wording

Our profitability has historically been highly seasonal. Our second fiscal quarter, which ends on December 31, includes the majority of the holiday shopping season and typically accounts for a disproportionately high portion of our earnings for the year, primarily due to higher sales of home and family products such as holiday cards, calendars, photo books, and personalized gifts. In addition, our National Pen business has historically generated a large portion of its profits during the second fiscal quarter. Lower than expected sales during the second quarter, which we have experienced in the past and may experience in the future, have a disproportionately large impact on our operating results and financial condition for the full fiscal year. Likewise, an inability of our manufacturing and other operations to keep up with the high volume of orders during our second fiscal quarter or other inefficiencies in our production or disruptions of our supply chains during the quarter, resulting in higher than expected costs, which we have experienced in the past and may experience in the future, have a disproportionately large impact on our earnings results and financial condition for the full fiscal year, as well as delays in order fulfillment and delivery and other disruptions, which negatively impact our ability to attract repeat customers, our reputation, and our future financial results.

Previous wording

We use artificial intelligence (AI), including generative AI, in many parts of our value chain. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in using AI to enhance our products or services or otherwise benefit our business, including our efficiency or profitability, and there are significant risks involved in developing and deploying AI. For example, our AI-related efforts may give rise to risks related to harmful content, accuracy, bias, discrimination, intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, data privacy, and cybersecurity, among others. New laws, rules, directives, and regulations governing the use of AI, new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, or other legal liability, ethical concerns, negative consumer perceptions as to automation and AI, or other complications could also adversely affect our business, brand perception, or financial results. Further, we face competition from other companies that are developing their own AI products and technologies that may have a negative impact on our value chain, including in the areas of design services and content creation. These AI-enabled products and technologies are evolving quickly, can influence customer behavior and preferences, and may allow other companies to become more efficient than us and/or to more effectively acquire and retain customers. In addition, AI tools are rapidly shifting consumer behavior in online search and shopping, particularly relative to traditional search engines, which may require rapid strategic and technical adaptations and investments, including further standardizing and optimizing our data structures, all of which could increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our business or financial results. Moreover, the pace of innovation in AI and developments related to its use, together with the breadth of its potential applications to our industry, make it impossible to identify or predict all of the risks related to using AI or all of the AI-related risks to our business.

Demand for our products and services is sensitive to customers' expectations, particularly as to price for almost all of our businesses, and past changes in our pricing strategies had a significant impact on the numbers of customers and orders in some regions, which in turn adversely affected our revenue, profitability, and results of operations. Many factors impact our pricing and marketing strategies, including the costs of running our business, the costs of raw materials, our competitors' pricing and marketing strategies, and the effects of inflation. We may not be able to mitigate increases in our costs by increasing the prices of our products and services. More recently, customer expectations have evolved as to shipping speeds, as well as speed and creative control from rapid developments in digital design tools. Failure to meet our customers' price or other expectations in the future would adversely affect our future business and results of operations.

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

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

The competitive landscape for e-commerce companies and the mass customization market continues to change as new e-commerce businesses are introduced, established e-commerce businesses enter the mass customization and print markets, and traditional “brick and mortar” businesses establish an online presence. With Vista's increased focus on design services, we now also face competition from companies in the design space, including those with AI-enabled design capabilities, some of which may be more established, experienced, or innovative than we are. Some of our current and potential competitors may have advantages over us, including longer operating histories, greater brand recognition or loyalty, broader customer reach, more focus on a given subset of our business, significantly greater financial, marketing, and other resources, production in lower-cost countries, speed of execution, or willingness to operate at a loss while building market share. Competition may result in price pressure, increased advertising expense, reduced profit margins, and loss of market share and brand recognition, any of which could substantially harm our business and financial results.

If customers, potential customers, regulators, or other influential groups or individuals are dissatisfied with our ESG goals or our progress toward meeting them, or our positions on ESG issues, then they may choose not to buy our products and services, or to otherwise target us negatively, which could lead to reduced revenue, and our reputation could be harmed.

Our senior secured credit facility that governs our Term Loan B and revolving credit and the indenture that governs our 7.375% Senior Notes due 2032, which we collectively refer to as our debt documents, contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit how we conduct our business, execute our strategy, compete effectively, or take advantage of new business opportunities, including restrictions on our ability to:

Borrowings under our credit facility are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk, and any interest rate swaps we enter into in order to reduce interest rate volatility may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even if the amount borrowed remains the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. As of June 30, 2025, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in rates, inclusive of our outstanding interest rate swaps, would result in an increase of interest expense of approximately $8.3 million over the next 12 months, not including any yield from our cash and marketable securities.

Changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations, or their interpretation, of any country in which we operate have had in the past, and may have in the future, a materially adverse impact on us, including increasing our tax burden, increasing costs of our tax compliance, or otherwise adversely affecting our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. There are currently multiple initiatives for comprehensive tax reform underway in key jurisdictions where we have operations, and we cannot predict whether any other specific legislation will be enacted or the terms of any such legislation. Furthermore, with the change in the U.S. presidential administration and composition of the U.S. Congress, the administration have made, and may in the future make changes to U.S. tax law, regulations, treaties and policies. Although we cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to our business, they could adversely affect our business. In addition, the application of sales, value added, or other consumption taxes to e-commerce businesses, such as Cimpress, is a complex and evolving issue. When and if a government entity claims that we should have been collecting such taxes on the sale of our products in a jurisdiction where we have not been doing so, we have incurred, and may in the future incur, substantial tax liabilities for past sales.

Previous wording

If a United States shareholder owns 10% or more of our ordinary shares, it may be subject to increased United States federal income taxation (and possibly state income taxation) under United States federal income taxation rules relating to certain non-U.S. corporations that are considered a controlled foreign corporation, or "CFC." In general, if a U.S. person owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the voting power or value of a non-U.S. corporation, or "10% U.S. Shareholder," and if such non-U.S. corporation is a CFC, then such 10% U.S. Shareholder who owns (or is deemed to own) shares in the CFC on the last day of the CFC's taxable year must include in its gross income for United States federal income tax (and possibly state income tax) purposes its pro rata share of the CFC's Subpart F income, even if the Subpart F income is not distributed. Subpart F income consists of, among other things, certain types of dividends, interest, rents, royalties, gains, and certain types of income from services, and personal property sales. In addition, a 10% U.S. Shareholder's pro rata share of other income of a CFC, even if not distributed, might also need to be included in a 10% U.S. Shareholder’s gross income for United States federal income tax (and possibly state income tax) purposes under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, or "GILTI," provisions of the U.S. tax law. In general, a non-U.S. corporation is considered a CFC if one or more 10% U.S. Shareholders together own more than 50% of the voting power or value of the corporation on any day during the taxable year of the corporation.

In general, a non-U.S. corporation is considered a CFC if one or more 10% U.S. Shareholders together own more than 50% of the voting power or value of the corporation on any day during the taxable year of the corporation.

The rules for determining ownership for purposes of determining 10% U.S. Shareholder and CFC status are complicated, depend on the particular facts relating to each investor, and are not necessarily the same as the rules for determining beneficial ownership for SEC reporting purposes. For taxable years in which we are a CFC, each of our 10% U.S. Shareholders will be required to include in its gross income for United States federal income tax (and possibly state income tax) purposes its pro rata share of our Subpart F income, even if the Subpart F income is not distributed by us, and might also be required to include its pro rata share of other income of ours, even if not distributed by us, under the GILTI provisions of the U.S. tax law. We currently do not believe we are a CFC. However, whether we are treated as a CFC can be affected by, among other things, facts as to our share ownership that may change. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will not be treated as a CFC in future years.
