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

1. Description of the Business
We are a technology driven company that aggregates, largely via the internet, large volumes of small, individually customized orders for a broad spectrum of print, signage, apparel and similar products. We operate in a largely decentralized manner. Our businesses fulfill orders with manufacturing capabilities that include Cimpress owned and operated manufacturing facilities and a network of third-party fulfillers to create customized products on demand. Those businesses bring their products to market through a portfolio of customer-focused brands serving the needs of micro, small and medium sized businesses, resellers and consumers. These brands include Vistaprint, our global brand for micro business marketing products and services, as well as brands that we have acquired that serve the needs of various market segments, including resellers, micro, small and medium sized businesses with differentiated service needs, and consumers purchasing products for themselves and their families.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods reported and of our financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet have been included.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cimpress N.V., 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.
    
Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2018 or for any other period. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2017 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Share-based compensation
Total share-based compensation costs were $13,492 and $33,718 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, and $12,797 and $35,645 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we issued supplemental performance share unit awards to certain members of management. In addition to a service vesting and market condition (based on the three year moving average of the Cimpress share price) contained in our standard performance share units, these supplemental awards also contain a multi-year financial performance condition. The evaluation of achievement of the performance condition is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and, therefore, the awards are subject to

6


mark-to-market accounting throughout the three year performance vesting period. The compensation expense for these awards is estimated at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and compensation costs are recorded only if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. We continue to conclude that the performance condition is probable of achievement and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized $5,615 and $9,925 of share-based compensation expense, respectively. We will continue to reassess the probability each reporting period and if we determine the awards are not probable at some point during the performance vesting period we would reverse any expense recognized to date.
Sale of Albumprinter
On August 31, 2017 we sold our Albumprinter business, including FotoKnudsen AS, for a total of €78,382 ($93,071 based on the exchange rate as of the date of sale) in cash, net of transaction costs and cash divested (after $11,874 in pre-closing dividends). As a result of the sale, we recognized a gain of $47,545, net of transaction costs, within our consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

The transaction did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation, and as of June 30, 2017, the Albumprinter business assets and liabilities were presented as held-for-sale in our consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the divestiture, we entered into an agreement with Albumprinter under which Albumprinter will continue to fulfill photo book orders for our Vistaprint business. Additionally, we agreed to provide Albumprinter with certain transitional support services for a period of up to one year from the date of the sale.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries translate their assets and liabilities denominated in their functional currency to U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing throughout the period. The resulting gains and losses from translation are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Transaction gains and losses and remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are included in other (expense) income, net in our consolidated statements of operations.

_____________________
(1) Primarily relates to both realized and unrealized (losses) gains on derivative currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments.
(2) We have significant non-functional currency intercompany financing relationships that we may change at times and are subject to currency exchange rate volatility. The currency-related gains (losses), net for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are primarily driven by this intercompany activity. In addition, we have certain cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges, which hedge the remeasurement of certain intercompany loans, both presented in the same component above. Unrealized losses related to cross-currency swaps were $3,582 and $9,708 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, and unrealized losses of $1,709 and gains of $4,684 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively.
(3) During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized a gain of $2,268 related to the sale of Plaza Create Co. Ltd. available for sale securities.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Cimpress N.V.
Basic net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress N.V. is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Cimpress N.V. by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress N.V. gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including share options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), restricted share awards ("RSAs") 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.

Waltham Lease Arrangement
In July 2013, we executed a lease agreement to move our Lexington, Massachusetts, USA operations to a then yet to be constructed facility in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the building was completed and we commenced lease payments in September 2015 and will make lease payments through September 2026.
For accounting purposes, we were deemed to be the owner of the Waltham building during the construction period, and accordingly we recorded the construction project costs incurred by the landlord as an asset with a corresponding financing obligation on our balance sheet. We evaluated the Waltham lease in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and determined that the transaction did not meet the criteria for "sale-leaseback" treatment due to our planned subleasing activity over the term of the lease. Accordingly, we began depreciating the asset and incurring interest expense related to the financing obligation recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. We bifurcate the lease payments pursuant to the Waltham lease into (i) a portion that is allocated to the building and (ii) a portion that is allocated to the land on which the building was constructed. The portion of the lease obligations allocated to the land is treated as an operating lease that commenced in fiscal 2014.

Property, plant and equipment, net, included $112,956 and $116,045 as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, related to the building. The financing lease obligation and deferred rent credit related to the building on our consolidated balance sheets was $116,307 and $119,176 as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.
Treasury Shares
    
Treasury shares are accounted for using the cost method and are included as a component of shareholders' equity. During the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we repurchased 895,377 and 593,763, respectively, of our ordinary shares for a total cost of $94,710 and $50,008, respectively, inclusive of transaction costs, in connection with our publicly announced share repurchase programs.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Standards Adopted
In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" (ASU 2016-16), which requires the recognition for income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. We elected to early adopt the new standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and recognized a reduction to prepaid and other current assets of $24,573, an increase in deferred tax assets of $18,710 and a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $5,863. If we had not early adopted, the forecasted fiscal 2018 tax expense would be lower by $9,787.

8


Issued Accounting Standards to be Adopted
In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Topic 815)," (ASU 2017-12), which better aligns a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The amendment is effective for us on July 1, 2019 and permits early adoption, including adoption in an interim period. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach, in which the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption. We do not expect this standard to have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)," (ASU 2017-09), which clarifies the application of Topic 718 when accounting for changes in the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. The new standard requires changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award to be accounted for under modification accounting unless there is no change to the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the award after modification. The amendment is effective for us on July 1, 2018 and permits early adoption. The amendment is to be applied prospectively, and we are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash" (ASU 2016-18), which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for us on July 1, 2018 and permits early adoption. This amendment will affect the presentation of our statement of cash flows once adopted, and we do not expect it to have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-04, "Liabilities - Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products" (ASU 2016-04), which requires an entity to recognize breakage for a liability resulting from the sale of a prepaid stored-value product in proportion to the pattern of rights expected to be exercised by the product holder only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the recognized breakage amount will not subsequently occur. The new standard is effective for us on July 1, 2018. The standard permits early adoption and should be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or by means of a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year adopted. We do not expect the effect of ASU 2016-04 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02), which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases. The standard also retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The new standard is effective for us on July 1, 2019 and we expect to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective approach. We also plan to use the transition relief package, in which we will not reassess the classification of our existing leases, whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and if our existing leases have any initial direct costs. We are currently evaluating the requirements of the standard and we have not yet determined the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2014-09), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which would result in an effective date for us of July 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective method. We will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and we will apply the modified retrospective approach.
We have substantially completed our impact assessment of the new standard, which was performed on a business unit by business unit basis through a review of contract terms and material revenue streams. We have identified an impact related to direct-response advertising costs, which are costs currently capitalized and expensed based on the guidance outlined in ASC 340. The guidance included in ASC 340 has been eliminated, and under the

9


new revenue standard these costs will be expensed as incurred because they do not meet the requirements for capitalization since they are not direct and incremental to obtaining a contract. We expect this change to impact the timing for a portion of advertising expenses within our National Pen business, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated results. We have also identified an impact related to customer loyalty programs that are offered by several of our businesses. Under the new revenue standard, the rewards associated with these programs will be recognized as an additional performance obligation, resulting in an allocation of the transaction price and deferral of revenue until the subsequent reward redemption. We do not expect this change to have a material impact on our consolidated results.
We are continuing to make changes to certain processes and internal controls, in order to address the impacts of the new standard, which we expect to finalize during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Lastly, we are continuing to evaluate the disclosure requirements of the new standard.
3. Fair Value Measurements
We use a three-level valuation hierarchy for measuring fair value and include detailed financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and year ended June 30, 2017, there were no significant transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 classifications.
The valuations of the derivatives intended to mitigate our interest rate and currency risk are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, interest rate volatility, or spot and forward exchange rates, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties' nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties' nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement. However, as of March 31, 2018, 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.
Contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value and are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions and estimates to forecast a range of outcomes and probabilities for the contingent consideration. Certain contingent consideration obligations are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. We assess these assumptions and estimates on a quarterly basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained. Any changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to updated assumptions and estimates will be recognized within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations during the period in which the change occurs.
As part of the acquisition of WIRmachenDRUCK on February 1, 2016, we agreed to a variable contingent payment up to €40,000, previously based on the achievement of a cumulative gross profit target for calendar years 2016 and 2017. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we determined it was reasonably certain, based on recent performance, that the maximum earn-out would be achieved. Subsequently, during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we amended the terms of this arrangement to remove the performance target and agreed to pay the maximum amount in January 2018. On January 2, 2018 we paid the maximum amount of €40,000 ($48,069 based on the exchange rate on the day of payment) and $5,951 of the amount paid is considered contingent consideration and included in the table below.

_____________________
(1) As of June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, contingent consideration was classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2016 the liability was classified as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values. As of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017 the carrying value of our debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt discounts, was $820,182 and $882,578, respectively, and the fair value was $777,314 and $906,744, respectively. Our debt at March 31, 2018 includes variable rate debt instruments indexed to LIBOR that resets periodically and 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. The estimated fair value of assets and liabilities disclosed above may not be representative of actual values that could have been or will be realized in the future.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
We use derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts, cross-currency swap contracts, and currency forward and option contracts, to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Derivatives are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge, then the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. If a derivative is deemed to be ineffective, then the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. 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. A portion of seven of our interest rate swap contracts were deemed to be ineffective during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 a portion of two of our interest rate swap contracts was deemed to be ineffective.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swap contracts will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are accrued or made on our variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2018, we estimate that $119 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense during the twelve months ending March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2018, we had nine outstanding interest rate swap contracts indexed to one-month LIBOR. These instruments were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and have varying start dates and maturity dates through December 2025.

Hedges of Currency Risk
Cross-Currency Swap Contracts
From time to time, we execute cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges or net investment hedges. Cross-currency swaps involve an initial receipt of the notional amount in the hedge currency in exchange for our reporting currency based on a contracted exchange rate. Subsequently, we receive fixed rate payments in our reporting currency in exchange for fixed rate payments in the hedged currency over the life of the contract. At maturity, the final exchange involves the receipt of our reporting currency in exchange for the notional amount in the hedged currency.
Cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges are executed to mitigate our currency exposure to the interest receipts as well as the principal remeasurement and repayment associated with certain intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. As of March 31, 2018, we had two outstanding cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $120,011, both maturing during June 2019. We entered into the two cross-currency swap contracts to hedge the risk of changes in one Euro denominated intercompany loan entered into with one of our consolidated subsidiaries that has the Euro as its functional currency.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to other (expense) income, net as interest payments are accrued or paid and upon remeasuring the intercompany loan. As of March 31, 2018, we estimate that $865 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending March 31, 2019.
Cross-currency swap contracts designated as net investment hedges are executed to mitigate our currency exposure of net investments in subsidiaries that have reporting currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As of March 31, 2018, we had two outstanding cross-currency swap contracts designated as net investment hedges with a total notional amount of $122,969, both maturing during April 2019. We entered into the two cross-currency swap contracts to hedge the risk of changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent value of a portion of our net investment in a consolidated subsidiary that has the Euro as its functional currency. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized as a component of our cumulative translation adjustment.
We did not hold any ineffective cross-currency swaps during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Other Currency Contracts
We execute currency forward and option contracts in order to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in various currencies against our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar.
As of March 31, 2018, we had six currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges with a total notional amount of $175,262, maturing during various dates through October 2022. We entered into these contracts to hedge the risk of changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent value of a portion of our net investment in a consolidated subsidiary that has the Euro as its functional currency. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized as a component of our cumulative translation adjustment.
We have elected to not apply hedge accounting for all other currency forward and option contracts. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we have 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 March 31, 2018, 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 denominated in Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Danish Krone, Euro, Indian Rupee,

Financial Instrument Presentation    
The table below presents the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017. Our derivative asset and liability balances will fluctuate with interest rate and currency exchange rate volatility. Our derivative liabilities have increased significantly during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 mainly due to the weakening of the US dollar.

Acquired Intangible Assets
Acquired intangible assets amortization expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 was $12,941 and $38,132, respectively, compared to $13,450 and $33,542 for the prior comparative periods, respectively. In addition, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized an impairment of $3,211, related to the acquired intangible assets within the Tradeprint asset group. Refer below for additional discussion regarding the impairment.

Impairment Review

Fiscal 2017

During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we concluded that the goodwill of our Tradeprint reporting unit, part of our Upload and Print reportable segment, was not fully recoverable as the reporting unit was forecasting lower profits than originally forecasted as of the acquisition date. This resulted in an impairment of goodwill of $6,345 and an impairment of acquired intangible assets of $3,211 during the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

(1) On January 2, 2018, we paid the contingent earn-out liability in full, refer to the summary below for additional details.
(2) Relates to the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest of Printi LLC. Refer to Note 11 for additional details.
(3) As of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, other liabilities includes $9,773 and $8,173, respectively, related to share-based compensation awards associated with our investment in Printi LLC. Refer to Note 11 for additional details.
Contingent earn-out liability
Under the original terms of the WIRmachenDRUCK earn-out arrangement, a portion of the earn-out attributed to the minority selling shareholders was included as a component of purchase consideration as of the acquisition date, with any subsequent changes to fair value recognized within general and administrative expense. This earn-out was previously calculated on a sliding scale, based on the achievement of cumulative gross profit against a predetermined target. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we determined it was reasonably certain, that the maximum earn-out would be achieved and we paid the maximum amount on January 2, 2018. Refer to Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for additional details of this payment.
The liability represented the present value of the agreed payment amount as of the respective date. We recognized $1,774 of expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2018, and $4,598 and $27,364 of expense during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively, as part of general and administrative expense. We recognized no expense during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

18


(2) Balances as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017 are inclusive of short-term debt issuance costs and debt discounts of $1,846 and $1,693, respectively.
Our Debt
Our various debt arrangements described below contain customary representations, warranties and events of default. As of March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants related to our debt.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On July 13, 2017, we entered into an amendment and restatement agreement for our senior secured credit facility resulting in an increase of loan commitments under the credit agreement to $1,045,000 in the aggregate. The amendment also extended the tenor of our borrowings to a maturity date of July 13, 2022. As of March 31, 2018, we have a committed credit facility of $1,033,750 as follows:
Revolving loans of $745,000 with a maturity date of July 13, 2022
Term loan of $288,750 amortizing over the loan period, with a final maturity date of July 13, 2022.
Under the terms of our credit agreement, borrowings bear interest at a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25% depending on our leverage ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total indebtedness to our consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the credit agreement. As of March 31, 2018, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 3.56%, inclusive of interest rate swap rates. We are also required to pay a commitment fee on unused balances of 0.225% to 0.400% depending on our leverage ratio. We have pledged the assets and/or share capital of several of our subsidiaries as collateral for our outstanding debt as of March 31, 2018.
Indenture and Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022
On March 24, 2015, we completed a private placement of $275,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.0% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). We issued the Notes pursuant to a senior notes indenture dated as of March 24, 2015 among Cimpress N.V., our subsidiary guarantors, and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "Indenture"). We used the proceeds from the Notes to pay outstanding indebtedness under our unsecured line of credit and our senior secured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum and mature on April 1, 2022. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2015, to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on March 15 and September 15, respectively, preceding such interest payment date.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all our existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future subordinated debt. The Notes are effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. Subject to certain exceptions, each of our existing and future subsidiaries that is a borrower under or guarantees our senior secured credit facilities will guarantee the Notes.
The Indenture contains various covenants, including covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur and/or guarantee additional debt; pay dividends, repurchase shares or make certain other restricted payments; enter into agreements limiting dividends and certain other restricted payments; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; grant liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; merge, consolidate or transfer or dispose of substantially all of our consolidated assets; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of property and assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates.
We had the right to redeem, at any time prior to April 1, 2018, some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus a make-whole amount as set forth in the Indenture, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, we had the right to redeem, at any time prior to April 1, 2018, up to 35% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 107% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings by Cimpress. To date we have not

19


exercised our redemption right; however if in the future we choose to exercise we will redeem some or all of the Notes at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.
Other debt
Other debt consists primarily of term loans acquired through our various acquisitions. As of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017 we had $7,906 and $7,541, respectively, outstanding for those obligations that are payable through September 2024.
9. Income Taxes

Our income tax expense was $4,019 and $19,657 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, as compared to income tax benefits of $17,431 and $7,644 for the prior comparative periods. The increase in income tax expense is primarily attributable to pre-tax income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to pre-tax losses in the comparable periods. Additionally, we recognized tax expense of $4,742 related to the impacts of U.S. tax reform recognized in the nine months ended March 31, 2018. We recognize excess tax benefits associated with the vesting or exercise of share based compensation awards as a discrete tax item. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized excess tax benefits from share based compensation of $1,329 and $2,802, respectively, as compared to $45 and $4,659 for the comparable prior periods. Excluding the effect of these discrete tax items, we are forecasting a more favorable consolidated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2018 as compared to fiscal 2017 primarily due to higher forecasted full year pre-tax income as well as a more favorable geographical mix of consolidated earnings. In addition, our effective tax rate is negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions where we are unable to recognize a full tax benefit in the current period.
    
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("The Act") was signed into law, resulting in significant changes to U.S. tax law for corporations. Our tax balances were adjusted during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 based upon our interpretation of The Act, although the final impact on our tax balances may change due to the issuance of additional guidance, changes in our interpretation of The Act, changes in assumptions made by Cimpress, and actions Cimpress may take as a result of The Act. There were no material changes to our tax balances for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as a result of The Act. We will continue to review and assess the potential impact of any new information on our financial statement positions.
 
On October 1, 2013, we made changes to our corporate entity operating structure, including transferring our intellectual property among certain of our subsidiaries, primarily to align our corporate entities with our evolving operations and business model. Our subsidiary based in Switzerland was the recipient of the intellectual property. In accordance with Swiss tax law, we are entitled to amortize the fair market value of the intellectual property received at the date of transfer over five years for tax purposes. As a result of this amortization, we are expecting a loss for Swiss tax purposes during fiscal 2018.

As of March 31, 2018, we had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits included in the balance sheet of $4,872, including accrued interest and penalties of $355. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, the entire liability for unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our income tax expense. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months in the range of $600 to $800 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 2015 through 2017 remain open for examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the years 2012 through 2017 remain open for examination in the various states and non-US tax jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. We believe that our income tax reserves are adequately maintained taking into consideration both the technical merits of our tax return positions and ongoing developments in our income tax audits. However, the final determination of our tax return positions, if audited, is uncertain, and there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

20


10. Noncontrolling Interests
In certain of our strategic investments we own a controlling equity stake, but a third party owns a minority portion of the equity. The balance sheet and operating activity of these entities are included in our consolidated financial statements and we adjust the net income in our consolidated statement of operations to exclude the noncontrolling interests' proportionate share of results. We present the proportionate share of equity attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests as temporary equity within our consolidated balance sheet and the proportionate share of noncontrolling interests not subject to a redemption provision that is outside of our control as equity.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests
On April 15, 2015, we acquired 70% of the outstanding shares of Exagroup SAS. The remaining 30% is considered a redeemable noncontrolling equity interest, as it is redeemable in the future and not solely within our control. The Exagroup noncontrolling interest, redeemable at a fixed amount of €39,000, was recorded at its fair value as of the acquisition date and will be adjusted to its redemption value on a periodic basis, if that amount exceeds its carrying value. As of March 31, 2018, the redemption value was less than the carrying value, and therefore no adjustment was required.

On August 23, 2017, we sold approximately 12% of the outstanding shares of our WIRmachenDRUCK subsidiary for a total of €30,000 ($35,390 based on the exchange rate on the date we received the proceeds). The minority equity interest is considered a redeemable noncontrolling interest, as it is redeemable for cash based on future financial results through put and call rights and not solely within our control. The noncontrolling interest was recorded at its fair value as of the sale date and will be adjusted to its redemption value on a periodic basis, with an offset to retained earnings, if that amount exceeds its carrying value. If the formulaic redemption value exceeds the fair value of the noncontrolling interest, then the accretion to redemption value will be offset to the net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2018, the redemption value was less than the carrying value, and therefore no adjustment was required.

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

11. Variable Interest Entity ("VIE")
On August 7, 2014, we made a capital investment in Printi LLC, which operates in Brazil. This investment provided us access to a new market and the opportunity to drive longer-term growth in Brazil and other geographies as Printi expands internationally in the future. As of March 31, 2018, we have a 49.99% equity interest in Printi. Based upon the level of equity investment at risk, Printi is considered a variable interest entity. The shareholders of Printi share profits and voting control on a pro-rata basis. While we do not manage the day to day operations of Printi, we do have the unilateral ability to exercise participating voting rights for specific transactions, and as such no one shareholder is considered to be the primary beneficiary. However, certain significant shareholders cannot transfer their equity interests without our approval and as a result are considered de facto agents on our behalf in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-43.
In aggregating our rights, as well as those of our de facto agents, the group as a whole has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the entity. In situations where a de facto agency relationship is present, one party is required to be identified as the primary beneficiary, and the evaluation requires significant judgment. The factors considered include the presence of a principal/agent relationship, the relationship and significance of activities to the reporting entity, the variability associated with the VIE's anticipated economics and the design of the VIE. The analysis is qualitative in nature and is based on weighting the relative importance of each of the factors in relation to the specifics of the VIE arrangement. Upon our investment we performed an analysis and concluded that

21


we are the party that is most closely associated with Printi, as we are most exposed to the variability of the economics and therefore considered the primary beneficiary.
We will purchase an additional 3.7% non-voting economic interest during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. In addition, we will acquire the remaining equity interest in Printi through a reciprocal put and call structure, exercisable from March 31, 2021 through a mandatory redemption date of July 31, 2023. As the remaining equity interests are mandatorily redeemable by all parties no later than a specified future date, the noncontrolling interest is within the scope of ASC 480 and is required to be presented as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. We adjust the liability to its estimated redemption value each reporting period and recognize any changes within interest expense, net in our consolidated statement of operations.
We also have liability-based awards for Printi restricted stock held by Printi employees that are fully vested and marked to fair value each reporting period until cash settlement. As of March 31, 2018, through the use of an option pricing model we estimate the current fair value of the restricted stock to be $9,773 and we have recognized $1,047 in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, compared to $374 and $1,158 in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017.
We also have an arrangement to lend two Printi equity holders up to $24,000 that is payable on the date the put or call option is exercised, which will occur no later than July 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2018, the long-term loan receivable, including accrued interest, is $17,251 and classified within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We did not have a long-term loan receivable as of June 30, 2017. The loans carry 8.5% annual interest, and are not contingent upon continued employment. We expect that the loan proceeds will be used to offset our purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest in the future.
12. Segment Information
Our operating segments are based upon the manner in which our operations are managed and the availability of separate financial information reported internally to the Chief Executive Officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. As of March 31, 2018 we have numerous operating segments under our management reporting structure which are reported in the following four reportable segments:

National Pen - Includes the global operations of our National Pen businesses, which manufacture and market custom writing instruments and promotional products, apparel and gifts.
All Other Businesses - Includes the operations of our Most of World and Corporate Solutions businesses. Most of World consists of our businesses in Brazil, China, India and Japan. In Japan and India, we primarily operate under close derivatives of the Vistaprint business model and technology, albeit with decentralized, locally managed cross-functional operations in each country, and with product, content and service offerings which we tailor to the Japanese and Indian markets. Our Corporate Solutions business serves medium-sized businesses and larger corporations, as well as our legacy business with retail partners and franchise businesses, primarily through the "Vistaprint Corporate" brand. Our All Other Businesses segment also includes Albumprinter results through the divestiture date of August 31, 2017.
Central and corporate costs consists 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 Supervisory Board, CEO, and the team members necessary for managing corporate activities, such as treasury, tax, capital allocation, financial consolidation, and legal. These costs also include certain unallocated share-based compensation costs.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we began presenting inter-segment fulfillment activity as revenue for the fulfilling business unit for purposes of measuring and reporting our segment financial performance. Any

22


historical inter-segment fulfillment transactions were previously recognized as cost relief for the fulfilling business unit in our presentation to the CODM. We now recognize these transactions as inter-segment revenue for presentation to the CODM; for example, a third-party customer order received by our Corporate Solutions business that is fulfilled at one of our Vistaprint production facilities is recognized as inter-segment revenue for our Vistaprint business based on pricing and terms agreed upon between segment management. Inter-segment revenues are recognized only for transactions between our reportable segments and do not include any transactions between businesses within a reportable segment, which are eliminated within each reportable segment. Intercompany revenues are eliminated in our consolidated results.
As part of these changes, we also recast historical segment results to ensure the consistent application of our current inter-segment revenue presentation. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, we increased revenue for our Vistaprint business by $1,550 and $4,069, with a corresponding increase to inter-segment eliminations. We also recast historical segment profitability for the allocation of certain IT costs, which previously burdened our Vistaprint business, but have now been allocated to each of our businesses in fiscal 2018. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, the cost allocation change resulted in an increase to Vistaprint segment profit by $624 and $1,871, respectively, with a corresponding decrease to segment profit for Upload and Print of $161 and $483, respectively, and All Other Businesses of $140 and $420, respectively, and an increase to our Central and corporate cost center of $323 and $968, respectively.
For awards granted under our 2016 Performance Equity Plan, the PSU expense value 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.
Segment profit (loss) is the primary profitability metric by which our CODM measures segment financial performance and allocates resources. Certain items are excluded from segment profit (loss), such as acquisition-related amortization and depreciation, 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. A portion of the interest expense associated with our Waltham lease is included as expense in segment profit (loss) and allocated based on headcount to the appropriate business or corporate and global function. The interest expense represents a portion of the cash rent payment and is considered an operating expense for purposes of measuring our segment performance. We do not allocate non-operating income to our segment results.
Our All Other Businesses reportable segment includes our Most of World and Corporate Solutions businesses that have operating losses as they are in the early stage of investment relative to the scale of the underlying businesses, which may limit its comparability to other segments regarding profit (loss).
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, segment profit (loss), total income from operations and total income before income taxes.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
We have commitments under operating leases for our facilities that expire on various dates through 2026, including the Waltham lease arrangement discussed in Note 2. Total lease expense, net of sublease income, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 was $4,340 and $10,527, respectively and $2,860 and $9,152 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively.
We lease certain machinery and plant equipment under both capital and operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2027. The aggregate carrying value of the leased buildings and equipment under capital leases included in property, plant and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2018, is $35,253, net of accumulated depreciation of $36,022; the present value of lease installments not yet due included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2018 amounts to $31,979.
Purchase Obligations
At March 31, 2018, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $55,245 including commitments for third-party web services of $21,000. In addition, we had purchase commitments for production and computer equipment purchases of approximately $7,571, inventory purchase commitments of $1,984, commitments for advertising campaigns of $2,698, professional and consulting fees of $2,680, and other unrecorded purchase commitments of $19,312.
Other Obligations
We have an outstanding installment obligation of $2,806 related to the fiscal 2012 intra-entity transfer of the intellectual property of our subsidiary Webs, Inc., which results in tax being paid over a 7.5 year term and has been classified as a deferred tax liability in our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. In addition, we have deferred payments related to our other acquisitions of $3,864 in aggregate.
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. In all cases, 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.

14. Restructuring Charges

Restructuring costs include one-time employee termination benefits, acceleration of share-based compensation, and other related costs including third-party professional and outplacement services. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized restructuring charges of $2,331, which included $1,898 of expense related to additional rationalizations within the central and corporate group, which have resulted from changes in our organizational structure subsequent to our decentralization initiative. We also recognized $327 related to our second quarter Vistaprint reorganization and $106 related to our January 2017 restructuring initiative.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized restructuring charges of $14,686, which included $11,782 related to our Vistaprint reorganization for reductions in headcount and other operating costs. These changes simplified operations and more closely aligned functions to increase the speed of execution. We also recognized $1,898 of restructuring charges within the central and corporate group, as well as $819 of expense for the first quarter initiative within our All Other Businesses reportable segment. During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized changes in estimates of $187 from our January 2017 restructuring initiative.
    
During three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized $24,790 and $25,890 of restructuring charges, respectively, related to our January 2017 restructuring initiative, which has been completed.
