Executive Overview
Cimpress is a strategically focused group of more than a dozen businesses that specialize in mass customization of printing and related products, via which we deliver large volumes of individually small-sized customized orders. Our products include a broad range of marketing materials, business cards, signage, promotional products, logo apparel, packaging, books and magazines, wall decor, photo merchandise, invitations and announcements, and other categories. Mass customization is a core element of the business model of each Cimpress business and is a competitive strategy which seeks to produce goods and services to meet individual customer needs with near mass production efficiency.
As of June 30, 2022, we have numerous operating segments under our management reporting structure that are reported in the following five reportable segments: Vista, PrintBrothers, The Print Group, National Pen, and All Other Businesses. Refer to Note 15 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our reportable segments and our segment financial measures.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we revised our internal reporting to reallocate certain third-party technology costs that were previously held within our Central and corporate costs to our Vista business and reportable segment. These include certain third-party costs that are variable in nature and the cost variability is primarily driven by decisions or volumes in the Vista business. We have revised our presentation of all prior periods presented to reflect our revised segment reporting, which decreased Vista segment EBITDA and Central and corporate costs by $7.0 million, $6.0 million, and $3.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Throughout fiscal year 2022, the effects of the pandemic on Cimpress have generally diminished in terms of its impact on demand, but we experienced volatility throughout the year as COVID-19 variants emerged and government restrictions were put in place, primarily during the third quarter of our current fiscal year. Our businesses continue to experience supply chain challenges including rising input costs and some areas of
disruption. These challenges are a facet of lingering pandemic impacts, and, to a lesser extent, an indirect effect of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which have created both difficulties and opportunities for Cimpress businesses. Each of our reportable segments has seen material cost increases of product substrates like paper, production materials like aluminum plates, freight and shipping charges, energy costs and higher compensation costs due to a more competitive labor market. Our scale-based shared strategic capabilities and supplier relationships provide competitive advantages for our businesses to weather these challenges. Through data capabilities, our businesses are regularly testing new pricing approaches, and in all businesses there have been pricing increases that are partially offsetting the increased costs.
Financial Summary
The primary financial metric by which we set quarterly and annual budgets both for individual businesses and Cimpress wide is our adjusted free cash flow before cash interest expense; however, in evaluating the financial condition and operating performance of our business, management considers a number of metrics including revenue growth, organic constant-currency revenue growth, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, cash flow from operations and adjusted free cash flow. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures are included within the "Consolidated Results of Operations" and "Additional Non-GAAP Financial Measures" sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis. A summary of these key financial metrics for the year ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021 follows:
Fiscal Year 2022
•Revenue increased by 12% to $2,887.6 million.
•Constant-currency revenue increased by 15% and by 13% when excluding the revenue of acquired companies for the first twelve months after acquisition (both non-GAAP financial measures).
•Operating income decreased by $76.2 million to $47.3 million.
•Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased by $68.1 million to $281.1 million.
•Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cimpress plc decreased to $(2.08) from $(3.28) in the comparative period.
•Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $45.7 million to $219.5 million.
•Adjusted free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased by $65.6 million to $100.2 million.
For fiscal year 2022, the increase in reported revenue was primarily due to the continued recovery of demand. Reported revenue benefited from our recent acquisitions, with the majority of the additional revenue attributable to Depositphotos, which was acquired on October 1, 2021 and is included in our Vista business. Recent new product introduction, strong growth of volume, and an uptick in orders due to supply chain constraints that turned new customers to our businesses all drove growth in our reported revenue year over year. Pricing changes also improved our revenue, as these actions were one tool we used to mitigate inflationary cost pressures that have arisen from ongoing supply chain challenges. These benefits were slightly offset by revenue for face masks decreasing $85.3 million compared to the prior year because demand for pandemic-related products has diminished. Currency exchange fluctuations also had a negative effect during the current year.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in operating income was primarily due to increased investments in our Vista business. These investments include hiring across several strategic initiatives, as well as increased advertising spend driven by mid- and upper-funnel advertising and higher performance advertising driven by expanded payback thresholds compared to the prior year. The current year was also negatively impacted by inflationary cost pressures, which were not fully mitigated through price increases. We also recognized an increase in restructuring charges of $12.0 million, primarily relating to actions taken in our Vista business and central teams, as well as higher share based compensation expense primarily driven by increased headcount in areas in which we continue to invest. These items were partially offset by an increase to gross profit driven by the revenue growth described above, as well as the non-recurrence of a $19.9 million lease-related impairment in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased year over year, primarily for the same reasons operating income decreased. Adjusted EBITDA excludes restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, certain impairments, and non-cash gains on the sale of assets, and includes the realized gains or losses on our currency derivatives intended to hedge adjusted EBITDA. The net year-over-year impact of currency on consolidated adjusted EBITDA was a benefit of approximately $5.9 million.
Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cimpress plc decreased for the year ended June 30, 2022 due to unrealized currency gains caused by exchange rate volatility, decreased interest expense driven by our fourth quarter fiscal year 2021 debt refinancing which also caused a non-recurring $48.3 million loss on debt extinguishment in the prior-year period. This was partially offset by the decrease in operating income as described above and increased income tax expense that was impacted by the current year valuation allowance that related to Swiss tax reform benefits.
Cash from operations decreased $45.7 million year over year due to the decrease in operating income described above, partially offset by increased working capital inflows and $12.1 million of proceeds from the early settlement of certain derivatives.
Adjusted free cash flow decreased by $65.6 million, due to the operating cash flow decrease described above, as well as a $15.5 million increase in capital expenditures and a $4.4 million increase in capitalized software expenditures.
Information pertaining to fiscal year 2020 was included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 under Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations,” which was filed with the SEC on August 11, 2020.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Consolidated Revenue
Our businesses generate revenue primarily from the sale and shipment of customized products. We also generate revenue, to a much lesser extent (and primarily in our Vista business), from digital services, graphic design services, website design and hosting, and email marketing services, as well as a small percentage of revenue from order referral fees and other third-party offerings. For additional discussion relating to segment revenue results, refer to the "Reportable Segment Results" section included below.
Total revenue and revenue growth by reportable segment for the year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the following table:

_________________
(1) Constant-currency revenue growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the change in total revenue between current and prior year periods at constant-currency exchange rates by translating all non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue generated in the current period using the prior year period’s average exchange rate for each currency to the U.S. dollar. Our reportable segments-related growth is inclusive of inter-segment revenues, which are eliminated in our consolidated results.
(2) Constant-currency revenue growth excluding acquisitions/divestitures, a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes revenue results for businesses in the period in which there is no comparable year-over-year revenue. Our reportable segments-related growth is inclusive of inter-segment revenues, which are eliminated in our consolidated results. For example, revenue from 99designs, which we acquired on October 1, 2020 in Q2 2021, is excluded from revenue growth in Q1 of fiscal year 2022 since there are no full quarter results in the comparable period, but revenue is included in revenue growth for Q2 through Q4 of fiscal year 2022. Our reportable segments-related growth is inclusive of inter-segment revenues, which are eliminated in our consolidated results.
We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide meaningful information regarding our results on a consistent and comparable basis for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Consolidated Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes materials used by our businesses to manufacture their products, payroll and related expenses for production and design services personnel, depreciation of assets used in the production process and in support of digital marketing service offerings, shipping, handling and processing costs, third-party production and design costs, costs of free products and other related costs of products our businesses sell.

% of revenue | | | | | 51.7 | % | | 50.5 | % | | 50.3 | % |
For the year ended June 30, 2022, cost of revenue increased by $192.8 million, primarily due to demand-dependent cost of goods sold, including third-party fulfillment, material and shipping costs. During the current fiscal year, we've experienced increasing impacts from global supply chain challenges that resulted in increased costs for product substrates like paper, production materials like aluminum plates, freight and shipping charges, and energy costs. Compensation costs are also higher due to a more competitive labor market. The overall impact of increased costs, net of pricing and manufacturing efficiencies, had varying impacts on our businesses during the year ended June 30, 2022. It remains a challenging environment, and we expect higher input costs and supply constraints to persist, although we are unable to predict for how long. We believe we are advantaged in this environment versus smaller competitors because our scale provides us with a stronger supplier negotiation position for both costs and availability of supply.

(1) Refer to Note 8 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details relating to the amortization of acquired intangibles and goodwill impairment charges.
(2) Refer to Note 18 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details relating to restructuring expense.
Technology and development expense
Technology and development expense consists primarily of payroll and related expenses for employees engaged in software and manufacturing engineering, information technology operations and content development, as well as amortization of capitalized software and website development costs, including hosting of our websites, asset depreciation, patent amortization, and other technology infrastructure-related costs. Depreciation expense for information technology equipment that directly supports the delivery of our digital marketing services products is included in cost of revenue.
Technology and development expenses increased by $39.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily driven by $28.5 million higher compensation costs due to increased investment from hiring, impacts of our annual merit cycle and prior-year delay of our share-based compensation grants to the middle of the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, mainly in the Vista business and our central technology group. Other operating costs increased in part due to increases in demand, as well as higher travel and training costs as pandemic restrictions diminished in the current year.
Marketing and selling expense
Marketing and selling expense consists primarily of advertising and promotional costs; payroll and related expenses for our employees engaged in marketing, sales, customer support and public relations activities; direct-mail advertising costs; and third-party payment processing fees. Our Vista, National Pen and BuildASign businesses have higher marketing and selling costs as a percentage of revenue as compared to our PrintBrothers and The Print Group businesses due to differences in the customers that they serve.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, marketing and selling expenses increased $140.9 million as compared to the prior year. The largest increase in marketing and selling expenses was in our Vista business which had increased internal marketing and customer service costs of $52.1 million and increased advertising costs of $51.1 million. The increases to Vista spend were primarily driven by growth in headcount for areas such as user experience design, brand and data and analytics, higher performance advertising from increased customer demand and expanded payback thresholds as well as higher mid- and upper-funnel advertising. Advertising expense also increased for our remaining businesses in total by $28.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, due to higher demand and more normalized payback thresholds in the current year.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense consists primarily of transaction costs, including third-party professional fees, insurance and payroll and related expenses of employees involved in executive management, finance, legal, strategy, human resources and procurement.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million as compared to the prior year, driven primarily by increases of $16.7 million to compensation costs from impacts of our annual merit cycle, increased expense for cash-based long-term incentive awards driven by additional vesting and business performance, as well as higher headcount year over year. Share-based compensation costs also increased $3.6 million due to the prior year's delayed timing of the annual grant cycle, mainly in our Vista business and our central teams. The current fiscal year benefited from a non-cash gain of $3.3 million recognized during the second fiscal quarter as a result of our purchase and sale of a previously leased facility. The year-over-year increase was almost fully offset by the non-recurrence of lease-related impairment and abandonment charges that were recognized in the prior year of $19.9 million. Refer to Note 2 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Other Consolidated Results
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net generally consists of gains and losses from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions or balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries, as well as the realized and unrealized gains and losses on some of our derivative instruments. In evaluating our currency hedging programs and ability to qualify for hedge accounting in light of our legal entity cash flows, we considered the benefits of hedge accounting relative to the additional economic cost of trade execution and administrative burden. Based on this analysis, we execute certain currency derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting.
The following table summarizes the components of other income (expense), net:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
In thousands | | Year Ended June 30, |
| | | | | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
Gains (losses) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments | | | | | $ | 58,148 | | | $ | (20,728) | | | $ | 20,564 | |
Currency-related gains, net | | | | | 244 | | | 1,005 | | | 2,309 | |
Other gains | | | | | 3,071 | | | 370 | | | 1 | |
Total other income (expense), net | | | | | $ | 61,463 | | | $ | (19,353) | | | $ | 22,874 | |
The increase in other income (expense), net was primarily due to the currency exchange rate volatility impacting our derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments, of which our Euro and British Pound contracts are the most significant exposures that we economically hedge. We also recognize the impact from de-designated interest swap contracts that are no longer highly effective, which resulted in unrealized losses during the current period. We expect volatility to continue in future periods, as we do not apply hedge accounting for most of our derivative currency contracts.
We experienced currency-related gains due to currency exchange rate volatility on our non-functional currency intercompany relationships, which we may alter from time to time. The impact of certain cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges is included in our currency-related gains, net, offsetting the impact of certain non-functional currency intercompany relationships.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net primarily consists of interest paid on outstanding debt balances, amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discounts, interest related to finance lease obligations and realized gains (losses) on effective interest rate swap contracts and certain cross-currency swap contracts.
Interest expense, net decreased by $19.9 million during the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the prior year period. This is primarily due to our Term Loan B refinancing during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 that resulted in a reduction to our weighted-average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings in the current year.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt
As part of the fourth quarter fiscal year 2021 amendment and restatement of our senior secured credit agreement, we redeemed $300.0 million of our 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2025. The loss on extinguishment of debt of $48.3 million during the year ended June 30, 2021, consisted of a $22.3 million accretion adjustment to increase the debt's carrying value to the principal amount, a $17.0 million write-off of unamortized financing fees, and a $9.0 million early redemption fee payment.

Effective tax rate | | | | | 642.0 | % | | (29.7) | % | | (2,697.0) | % |
Income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2022 increased versus the prior comparative period due to establishing a partial valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $29.6 million primarily related to Swiss tax reform benefits recognized in fiscal year 2020 and Swiss tax loss carryforwards that we no longer expect to fully realize.
We believe that our income tax reserves are adequately maintained by taking into consideration both the technical merits of our tax return positions and ongoing developments in our income tax audits. However, the final determination of our tax return positions, if audited, is uncertain and therefore there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 13 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.
Reportable Segment Results
Our segment financial performance is measured based on segment EBITDA, which is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization; plus proceeds from insurance; plus share-based compensation expense related to investment consideration; plus earn-out related charges; plus certain impairments; plus restructuring related charges; less gain on purchase or sale of subsidiaries.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we revised our internal reporting to reallocate certain third-party technology costs that were previously held within our Central and corporate costs to our Vista business and reportable segment. These third-party costs are variable in nature and the cost variability is primarily driven by decisions or volumes in the Vista business. We have revised our presentation of all prior periods presented to reflect our revised segment reporting, which decreased Vista segment EBITDA by $7.0 million, $6.0 million and $3.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Segment Revenue
Vista's reported revenue growth for the year ended June 30, 2022 was negatively affected by a currency impact of 1%. When excluding the benefit from the recent acquisitions of Depositphotos and 99designs, Vista's organic constant-currency revenue growth was 5%. Vista's revenue growth accelerated in our European markets during the second half of the fiscal year, while the U.S. market experienced lower growth driven in part by the decline in revenue from consumer products. In addition, revenue related to face masks was $69.0 million less than the prior year as the demand for pandemic-related products declined. From a category perspective, growth was primarily driven by business cards, signage, marketing materials, and promotional products. Revenue from business cards and small format marketing materials improved year over year, but were still below pre-pandemic levels. During the current fiscal year we executed on the migration of Vista's customer-facing website in most major markets, including in the United States, to a new platform. Each launch in the current year created a short-term negative impact on revenue, but every successive launch benefited from the learnings of prior launches to mitigate the impact of migrating in our largest markets.
Segment Profitability
For the year ended June 30, 2022, segment EBITDA declined by $123.4 million, largely driven by increased operating expenses related to growth investments including hiring of talent, especially in user experience, design, product management, and data and analytics. These organic investments are in support of Vista's multi-year transformation journey to become the expert design and marketing partner to the world's small businesses. Additionally, Vista's advertising expense increased by $57.1 million, driven by $48.1 million of incremental performance advertising from higher volumes and increased payback thresholds relative to last year and $9.0 million from higher mid- and upper-funnel advertising. Advertising spend was more constrained during the prior year when the effects of the pandemic on this segment were more severe. Gross profit was negatively impacted during fiscal year 2022 by significant inflationary cost pressures from higher material, inbound freight, shipping and energy costs. A small portion of those inflationary pressures were offset by price increases. These inflationary pressures were more pronounced during the second half of the current fiscal year. The decline in profitability was also affected by government subsidy benefits in the prior year of $9.0 million that did not recur during the year ended June 30, 2022. These decreases were partially offset by the profit improvement driven by the revenue growth described above.

Segment Revenue
PrintBrothers' reported revenue growth for the year ended June 30, 2022 was negatively affected by a currency impact of 8%, resulting in a constant-currency revenue growth of 33%. This strong growth was driven by past new production introductions and growth in order volumes due in part to supply chain constraints that turned new customers to our businesses. The PrintBrothers network and relative size allowed these businesses to address opportunities to meet customer demand when competition could not. In addition, the current year benefited from less-intensive pandemic-related lockdowns than in the prior year, as well as price increases implemented to address inflationary cost increases.
Segment Profitability
PrintBrothers' segment EBITDA during the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the prior period, increased despite increased input costs, driven by the constant-currency revenue growth described above, the higher margin impact of new products, and improved efficiencies as the businesses in this segment better leverage their combined capabilities. Currency exchange rate fluctuations had a negative year-over-year impact.

Segment Revenue
The Print Group's reported revenue for the year ended June 30, 2022 was negatively affected by a currency impact of 7%, resulting in an increase to revenue on a constant-currency basis of 27% due to signs of overall economic recovery in many of the European countries in which we compete, leveraging new products introduced in recent years and growth in order volumes due in part to supply chain constraints that turned new customers to our businesses. In addition, the current year benefited from less-intensive pandemic-related lockdowns than in the prior year, as well as price increases implemented to address inflationary cost increases.
Segment Profitability
The increase in The Print Group's segment EBITDA during the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the prior year, was primarily driven by the constant-currency revenue growth described above. In addition, The Print Group continues to benefit from the introduction of new products with higher margins, as well as improved efficiencies as the group better leverages its combined capabilities. Currency exchange rate fluctuations had a negative year-over-year impact.

Segment Revenue
For the year ended June 30, 2022, National Pen's revenue growth was negatively affected by currency impacts of 2%, resulting in constant-currency revenue growth of 11%. National Pen's revenue has improved across geographic markets and channels, including web and mail order channels. This improvement is due to businesses reopening and a return of in-person events in some markets, despite a decline in revenue from pandemic-related products, including a $26.2 million decline of face mask revenue.
Segment Profitability
The increase in National Pen's segment EBITDA for the year ended June 30, 2022 was due in part to the revenue increase described above, as well as improvements in gross profit driven by a normalized mix of products and decline in lower-margin pandemic-related products, partially offset by higher freight costs. National Pen also made permanent cost reductions in the prior year that benefited segment EBITDA for the year ended June 30, 2022. The increased profitability was also caused by the non-recurrence of the prior years' inventory reserve to reduce the carrying value of disposable masks held in inventory to market prices of $8.2 million. Currency exchange rate fluctuations had a negative year-over-year impact.

This segment consists of BuildASign, which is a larger and profitable business, and two early-stage businesses that we have managed at a relatively modest operating loss as previously described and planned. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we decided to exit our YSD business, which generated a loss of $5.5 million during fiscal year 2022, which we expect to complete in early fiscal year 2023.
Segment Revenue
All Other Businesses' constant-currency revenue growth, excluding the impact of acquisitions, was 3% during the year ended June 30, 2022. This growth was driven by recovery of demand for both our Printi business and signage products offered by BuildASign, partially offset by a decline in demand for home decor products that had benefited revenue during the pandemic period.
Segment Profitability
The decrease in segment EBITDA for the year ended June 30, 2022 was due to a combination of factors including increased advertising spend and inflationary pressures on input costs including shipping, materials and labor during the current period.
Central and Corporate Costs
Central and corporate costs consist primarily of the team of software engineers that is building our mass customization platform; shared service organizations such as global procurement; technology services such as 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.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we revised our internal reporting to reallocate certain third-party technology costs that were previously held within our Central and corporate costs to our Vista business. We have revised our presentation of all prior periods presented to reflect our revised segment reporting. Refer to Note 15 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Central and corporate costs increased by $14.6 million during the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the prior year, due to the end of temporary cost-control measures from the year-ago period and, to a lesser extent, prior year timing of our annual share-based compensation grant which caused a higher expense rate for accelerated vesting in the first quarter of the current fiscal year than in the comparable period. In addition, our continued investments in our mass customization platform through additional hiring in cost-efficient talent markets and increased volumes contributed to higher central operating costs year over year.

The cash flows during the year ended June 30, 2022 related primarily to the following items:
Cash inflows:
•Adjustments for non-cash items of $194.8 million primarily related to adjustments for depreciation and amortization of $175.7 million, share-based compensation costs of $49.8 million, and deferred taxes of $22.9 million, which were partially offset by negative adjustments for unrealized currency-related gains of $39.9 million and gains on ineffective interest rate swaps of $6.4 million
•Proceeds from the maturity of held-to-maturity securities of $151.2 million
•Total net working capital impacts of $75.4 million were a source of cash. Accounts payable and accrued expense inflows were partially offset by inventory, accounts receivable and other asset outflows
•The early termination and settlement of derivative contracts resulted in $19.7 million of cash proceeds. $2.2 million of these cash proceeds was from the termination or settlement of net investment hedges and is presented in investing activities. The remainder of the cash proceeds are presented in operating activities, a portion of which is included in net working capital
•Proceeds from the sale of assets in the normal course of business of $14.5 million, primarily the sale of land adjacent to one of our production facilities
Cash outflows:
•Net loss of $50.6 million
•Business acquisitions for $75.3 million, net of cash acquired, primarily related to the Depositphotos acquisition
•Internal and external costs of $65.3 million for software and website development that we have capitalized
•Capital expenditures of $54.0 million of which the majority related to the purchase of manufacturing and automation equipment for our production facilities
•$43.6 million for the payment of purchase consideration included in the 99designs acquisition's fair value

Additional Liquidity and Capital Resources Information. At June 30, 2022, we had $277.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $50.0 million of marketable securities and $1,705.4 million of debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts. During the year ended June 30, 2022, we financed our operations and strategic investments through internally generated cash flows from operations and cash on hand. We expect to finance our future operations through our cash, investments, operating cash flow and borrowings under our debt arrangements.
Noncontrolling Interests. The put options for several of our noncontrolling interests are exercisable during the first half of fiscal year 2023. Exercising a put option is at the discretion of each noncontrolling interest holder, which creates uncertainty around the timing of our cash outflow should an option be exercised. The total estimated redemption value for these noncontrolling interests as of June 30, 2022 is $103.6 million. Refer to Note 14 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Indefinitely Reinvested Earnings. As of June 30, 2022, a portion of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our subsidiaries, and undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries that are considered to be indefinitely reinvested were $49.0 million. We do not intend to repatriate these funds as the cash and cash equivalent balances are generally used and available, without legal restrictions, to fund ordinary business operations and investments of the respective subsidiaries. If there is a change in the future, the repatriation of undistributed earnings from certain subsidiaries, in the form of dividends or otherwise, could have tax consequences that could result in material cash outflows.

___________________
(1) Operating and finance lease payments above include only amounts which are fixed under lease agreements. Our leases may also incur variable expenses which are not reflected in the contractual obligations above.
(2) Senior secured credit facility and interest payments include the effects of interest rate swaps, whether they are expected to be payments or receipts of cash.
(3) We may be required to make cash outlays related to our uncertain tax positions. However, due to the uncertainty of the timing of future cash flows associated with our uncertain tax positions, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement, if any, with the respective taxing authorities. Accordingly, uncertain tax positions of $9.2 million as of June 30, 2022 have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above. See Note 13 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information on uncertain tax positions.
Operating Leases. We rent office space under operating leases expiring on various dates through 2037. The terms of certain lease agreements require security deposits in the form of bank guarantees and letters of credit in the amount of $1.8 million in the aggregate.
Purchase Commitments. At June 30, 2022, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $310.8 million. Purchase commitments consisted of inventory, third-party fulfillment and digital service purchase commitments of $124.4 million; third-party cloud services of $113.9 million; advertising of $18.1 million; software of
$23.7 million; commitments for professional and consulting fees of $6.4 million; production and computer equipment purchases of $7.1 million; and other unrecorded purchase commitments of $17.3 million.
Senior Secured Credit Facility and Interest Payments. As of June 30, 2022, we have borrowings under our Restated Credit Agreement of $1,097.3 million consisting of the Term Loan B, which amortizes over the loan period, with a final maturity date of May 17, 2028. Our $250.0 million revolver under our Restated Credit Agreement has $243.6 million unused as of June 30, 2022. There are no drawn amounts on the revolver, but our outstanding letters of credit reduce our unused balance. Our unused balance can be drawn at any time so long as we are in compliance with our debt covenants, and any amounts drawn under the revolver will be due on May 17, 2026. Interest payable included in the above table is based on the interest rate as of June 30, 2022 and assumes all LIBOR-based revolving loan amounts outstanding will not be paid until maturity but that the term loan amortization payments will be made according to our defined schedule.
Senior Unsecured Notes and Interest Payments. Our $600.0 million of 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum and mature on June 15, 2026. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year and has been included in the table above.
Debt Covenants. The Restated Credit Agreement and the indenture that governs our 7.0% Senior Notes due 2026 contain covenants that restrict or limit certain activities and transactions by Cimpress and our subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under our Restated Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our 2026 Notes. Refer to Note 10 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Other Debt. In addition, we have other debt which consists primarily of term loans acquired through our various acquisitions or used to fund certain capital investments. As of June 30, 2022, we had $8.1 million outstanding for those obligations that have repayments due on various dates through March 2027.
Finance Leases. We lease certain machinery and plant equipment under finance lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2028. The aggregate carrying value of the leased equipment under finance leases included in property, plant and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2022 is $19.2 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $38.5 million. The present value of lease installments not yet due included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2022 amounts to $21.4 million.
Other Obligations. Other obligations consist of deferred payments relating to previous acquisitions, including the deferred payment relating to our Depositphotos acquisition that is payable in October 2022 and small deferred acquisition liabilities for other, smaller acquisitions. Refer to Note 7 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Additional Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow presented below, and constant-currency revenue growth and constant-currency revenue growth excluding acquisitions/divestitures presented in the consolidated results of operations section above, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP operating income plus depreciation and amortization plus share-based compensation expense plus proceeds from insurance plus earn-out related charges plus certain impairments plus restructuring related charges plus realized gains or losses on currency derivatives less interest expense related to our Waltham, Massachusetts office lease less gain on purchase or sale of subsidiaries.
Adjusted EBITDA is the primary profitability metric by which we measure our consolidated financial performance and is provided to enhance investors' understanding of our current operating results from the underlying and ongoing business for the same reasons it is used by management. For example, as we have become more acquisitive over recent years we believe excluding the costs related to the purchase of a business (such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, contingent consideration, or impairment of goodwill) provides further insight into the performance of the underlying acquired business in addition to that provided by our GAAP operating income. As another example, as we do not apply hedge accounting for certain derivative contracts, we believe inclusion of realized gains and losses on these contracts that are intended to be matched against operational currency fluctuations provides further insight into our operating performance in addition to that provided by our GAAP operating income. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP
financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted free cash flow is the primary financial metric by which we set quarterly and annual budgets both for individual businesses and Cimpress-wide. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, purchases of intangible assets not related to acquisitions, and capitalization of software and website development costs that are included in net cash used in investing activities, plus the payment of contingent consideration in excess of acquisition-date fair value and gains on proceeds from insurance that are included in net cash provided by operating activities, if any. We use this cash flow metric because we believe that this methodology can provide useful supplemental information to help investors better understand our ability to generate cash flow after considering certain investments required to maintain or grow our business, as well as eliminate the impact of certain cash flow items presented as operating cash flows that we do not believe reflect the cash flow generated by the underlying business.
Our adjusted free cash flow measure has limitations as it may omit certain components of the overall cash flow statement and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, adjusted free cash flow does not incorporate our cash payments to reduce the principal portion of our debt or cash payments for business acquisitions. Additionally, the mix of property, plant and equipment purchases that we choose to finance may change over time. We believe it is important to view our adjusted free cash flow measure only as a complement to our entire consolidated statement of cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). To apply these principles, we must make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In some instances, we reasonably could have used different accounting estimates and, in other instances, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable at the time under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting estimates and judgments of this type as critical accounting policies and estimates, which we discuss further below. This section should be read in conjunction with Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," of our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Revenue Recognition. We generate revenue primarily from the sale and shipment of customized manufactured products. To a much lesser extent (and only in our Vista business) we provide digital services, website design and hosting, and email marketing services, as well as a small percentage from order referral fees and other third-party offerings. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services.
Under the terms of most of our arrangements with our customers we provide satisfaction guarantees, which give our customers an option for a refund or reprint over a specified period of time if the customer is not fully satisfied. As such, we record a reserve for estimated sales returns and allowances as a reduction of revenue, based on historical experience or the specific identification of an event necessitating a reserve. Actual sales returns have historically not been significant.
We have elected to recognize shipping and handling activities that occur after transfer of control of the products as fulfillment activities and not as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our single performance obligation upon the transfer of control of the fulfilled orders, which generally occurs upon delivery to the shipping carrier. If revenue is recognized prior to completion of the shipping and handling activities, we accrue the costs of those activities. We do have some arrangements whereby the transfer of control, and thus revenue recognition, occurs upon delivery to the customer. If multiple products are ordered together, each product is considered a separate performance obligation, and the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling price. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of each performance obligation. We generally determine the standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to our customers.
Our products are customized for each individual customer with no alternative use except to be delivered to that specific customer; however, we do not have an enforceable right to payment prior to delivering the items to the customer based on the terms and conditions of our arrangements with customers and therefore we recognize revenue at a point in time.
We record deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of our satisfaction of the related performance obligation. The satisfaction of performance obligations generally occur shortly after cash payment and we expect to recognize our deferred revenue balance as revenue within three months subsequent to June 30, 2021.
We periodically provide marketing materials and promotional offers to new customers and existing customers that are intended to improve customer retention. These incentive offers are generally available to all customers and, therefore, do not represent a performance obligation as customers are not required to enter into a contractual commitment to receive the offer. These discounts are recognized as a reduction to the transaction price when used by the customer. Costs related to free products are included within cost of revenue and sample products are included within marketing and selling expense.
We have elected to apply the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4 to expense incremental direct costs as incurred, which primarily includes sales commissions, since our contract periods generally are less than one year and the related performance obligations are satisfied within a short period of time.
Share-Based Compensation. We measure share-based compensation costs at fair value, and recognize the expense over the period that the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. We recognize the impact of forfeitures as they occur.
Our performance share units, or PSUs, are estimated at fair value on the date of grant, which is fixed throughout the vesting period. The fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. As the PSUs include both a service and market condition the related expense is recognized using the accelerated expense attribution method over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. For PSUs that meet the service vesting condition, the expense recognized over the requisite service period will not be reversed if the market condition is not achieved. 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.
Income Taxes. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we calculate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our current tax expense, including assessing the risks associated with tax positions, together with assessing temporary and permanent differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when we expect temporary differences to reverse. We assess the ability to realize our deferred tax assets based upon the weight of available evidence both positive and negative. To the extent we believe that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance. Our estimates can vary due to the profitability mix of jurisdictions, foreign exchange movements, changes in tax law, regulations or accounting principles, as well as certain discrete items. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust our estimates in the future, we may need to increase or decrease income tax expense, which could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
We establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when we believe that certain positions might be challenged despite our belief that our tax return positions are in accordance with applicable tax laws. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation, or the change of an estimate based on new information. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. Interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in the provision for income taxes.
Software and Website Development Costs. We capitalize eligible salaries and payroll-related costs of employees and third-party consultants who devote time to the development of our websites and internal-use computer software. Capitalization begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is three years. Our judgment is required in evaluating whether a project provides new or additional functionality, determining the point at which various projects enter the stages at which costs may be capitalized, assessing the ongoing value and impairment of the capitalized costs, and determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized. Historically we have not had any significant impairments of our capitalized software and website development costs.
Business Combinations. We recognize the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed cash flow valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management. The valuations are dependent upon a myriad of factors including historical financial results, forecasted revenue growth rates, estimated customer renewal rates, projected operating margins, royalty rates and discount rates. We estimate the fair value of any contingent consideration at the time of the acquisition using all pertinent information known to us at the time to assess the probability of payment of contingent amounts or through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. The assumptions used in the valuations for our acquisitions may differ materially from actual results depending on performance of the acquired businesses and other factors. While we believe the assumptions used were appropriate, different assumptions in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed could have a material impact on the timing and extent of impact on our statements of operations.
Goodwill is assigned to reporting units as of the date of the related acquisition. If goodwill is assigned to more than one reporting unit, we utilize a method that is consistent with the manner in which the amount of goodwill in a business combination is determined. Costs related to the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets, and Other Definite Lived Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We consider the timing of our most recent fair value assessment and associated headroom, the actual operating results as compared to the cash flow forecasts used in those fair value assessments, the current long-term forecasts for each reporting unit, and the general market and economic environment of each reporting unit. In addition to the specific factors mentioned above, we assess the following individual factors on an ongoing basis such as:
• A significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate;
• An adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
• Unanticipated competition;
• A loss of key personnel; and
• A more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of.
If the results of the qualitative analysis were to indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the quantitative test is required. Under the quantitative approach, we estimate the fair values of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology and in certain circumstances a market-based approach. This analysis requires significant judgment and is based on our strategic plans and estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts. Our annual analysis also requires significant judgment including the identification and aggregation of reporting units, as well as the determination of our discount rate and perpetual growth rate assumptions. We are required to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value.
We are required to evaluate the estimated useful lives and recoverability of definite lived long-lived assets (for example, customer relationships, developed technology, property, and equipment) on an ongoing basis when indicators of impairment are present. For purposes of the recoverability test, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The test for recoverability compares the undiscounted future cash flows of the long-lived asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying values of the long-lived asset group exceed the undiscounted future cash flows, the assets are considered to be potentially impaired. The next step in the impairment measurement process is to determine the fair value of the individual net assets within the long-lived asset group. If the aggregate fair values of the individual net assets of the group are less than the carrying values, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the excess of the aggregate carrying value of the group over the aggregate fair value. The loss is allocated to each long-lived asset within the group based on their relative carrying values, with no asset reduced below its fair value. The identification and evaluation of a potential impairment requires judgment and is subject to change if events or circumstances pertaining to our business change. We evaluated our long-lived assets for impairment during the year ended June 30, 2022, and we recognized no impairments.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cimpress plc and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of shareholders' deficit and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill - Quantitative Impairment Assessments
As described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance was $767 million as of June 30, 2022. Management performed a quantitative assessment for all nine reporting units with goodwill as of the annual goodwill impairment test date of May 31. For each reporting unit, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the related carrying value and management concluded that no impairment existed. Management used the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method, to derive the fair value of each reporting unit. This approach calculates fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The cash flow projections in the fair value analysis are considered Level 3 inputs, and consist of management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration historical results, as well as industry and market conditions. The discount rate used in the fair value analysis is based on a weighted average cost of capital.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill quantitative impairment assessments for certain reporting units is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the fair value of certain reporting units, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the revenue growth rates, operating margins, and discount rates, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessments, including controls over the valuation of certain reporting units. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for determining the fair value of certain reporting units; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow method; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the discounted cash flow method; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the revenue growth rates, operating margins, and discount rates. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to the revenue growth rates and operating margins involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering the current and past performance of the reporting units, the consistency with external market and industry data, and whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of (i) the appropriateness of the Company’s discounted cash flow method and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate significant assumption.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. Description of the Business
Cimpress is a strategically focused group of more than a dozen businesses that specialize in mass customization of printing and related products, via which we deliver large volumes of individually small-sized customized orders. Our products include a broad range of marketing materials, business cards, signage, promotional products, logo apparel, packaging, books and magazines, wall decor, photo merchandise, invitations and announcements, and other categories. Mass customization is a core element of the business model of each Cimpress business and is a competitive strategy which seeks to produce goods and services to meet individual customer needs with near mass production efficiency.
In October 2021 our Vista business and reportable segment began evolving its brand architecture to "Vista". Brands like "VistaPrint", "VistaCreate", "99designs by Vista", Vista x Wix, and "Vista Corporate Solutions" now operate within the "Vista" brand architecture. This move should help open customers' minds to allow us to serve a broader set of their needs across a wide range of products and solutions that includes design, social media and web presence as well as print. No changes were made to our internal organizational or reporting structure as a result of this rebranding, but we we now refer to this reportable segment as "Vista". Refer to Note 15 for additional details.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cimpress plc, its wholly owned subsidiaries, entities in which we maintain a controlling financial interest, and those entities in which we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which we cannot exercise significant influence, and for which the related equity securities do not have a readily determinable fair value, are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets; otherwise the investments are recognized by applying equity method accounting. Our equity method investments are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe our most significant estimates are associated with the ongoing evaluation of the recoverability of our long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated useful lives of assets, share-based compensation, accounting for business combinations, and income taxes and related valuation allowances, among others. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In light of the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine and the related sanctions that have been placed on certain Russian entities and activities, we have evaluated the impacts that these events have on our business and on our financial results. Currently, we have no material exposure to Ukraine and Russia in terms of revenue, supply and tangible assets. We also considered any triggering events for our intangibles assets and due to the limited exposure we have to both countries, we concluded that no triggering events have occurred. We do have employees in Ukraine from our recently acquired Depositphotos business, and we are providing financial and other assistance to those employees. The impact of these costs are not material to our financial results.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
Foreign Currency Gains Associated with Intercompany Loan Hedge
During the second fiscal quarter of 2022, we identified an error related to the recognition of foreign currency gains that were included in other income (expense), net within our consolidated statements of operations, associated with a net investment hedge. In May 2021, we designated a €300,000 intercompany loan as a net investment hedge to hedge the risk of changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of a portion of our net investment in one of our consolidated subsidiaries that has the Euro as its functional currency. As this hedging instrument was designated as a net investment hedge, all foreign currency gains and losses should be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss as part of currency translation adjustment. For the year ended June 30, 2021, we incorrectly recognized $7,518 of gains in other income (expense), net. This error overstated other income (expense), net; income (loss) before income taxes; and net loss for the period but did not have an impact on cash provided by operating activities, since it is a non-cash currency item. Included below are the revisions made for each period presented.

Presentation of Revenue and Cost of Revenue
During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we identified an immaterial error related to the presentation of revenue for one-to-one design service arrangements that overstated revenue and cost of revenue for the period from October 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. On October 1, 2020 we acquired the 99designs business, which is presented as part of our Vista reportable segment, and after acquisition we recognized revenue on a gross basis as if we were the principal to the transactions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we reconsidered the guidance of ASC 606-10-55-39 and confirmed we are the principal for contest arrangements; however, the one-to-one design service portion of 99designs revenue is governed by different terms and conditions. We evaluated whether we have control over these services before the design is transferred to the customer, as we leverage a network of third-party designers to fulfill this offering. The pricing and fulfillment responsibility aspects of the one-to-one design arrangements led us to conclude we are an agent to these specific transactions.
The revision for the year ended June 30, 2021 is summarized in the table below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Consolidated Statements of Operations | Year ended June 30, 2021 | | | | | | |
| Reported | | Adjustments | | Revised | | | | | | |
Revenue | $ | 2,592,513 | | | $ | (16,552) | | | $ | 2,575,961 | | | | | | | |
Cost of revenue | 1,316,441 | | | (16,552) | | | 1,299,889 | | | | | | | |
Management assessed the materiality of the misstatements described above on prior period financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB” No. 99, Materiality, codified in ASC 250-10, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("ASC 250") and ASC 250 (SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements) and concluded that these misstatements were not material to any prior annual or interim periods.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be the equivalent of cash for the purpose of balance sheet and statement of cash flows presentation. Cash equivalents consist of depository accounts and money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents restricted for use were $543 and $537 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
For bank accounts that are overdrawn at the end of a reporting period, including any net negative balance in our notional cash pool, we reclassify these overdrafts to short-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Book overdrafts that result from outstanding checks in excess of our bank balance are reclassified to other current liabilities. We did not have a bank or book overdraft for any of the periods presented.
Marketable Securities
We hold certain investments that are classified as held-to-maturity (HTM) as we have the intent and ability to hold them to their maturity dates. Our policy is to invest in the following permitted classes of assets: overnight money market funds invested in U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities-specifically U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, U.S. government agency securities, bank time deposits, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, and medium term notes. We generally invest in securities with a maturity of two years or less. As the investments are classified as held-to-maturity they are recorded at amortized cost and interest income is recorded as it is earned within interest expense, net.
We will continue to assess our securities for impairment when the fair value is less than amortized cost to determine if any risk of credit loss exists. As our intent is to hold the securities to maturity, we must assess whether any credit losses related to our investments are recoverable and determine if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. We did not record an allowance for credit losses and we recognized no impairments for these marketable securities during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and we held no marketable securities during the year ended June 30, 2020.
The following is a summary of the net carrying amount, unrealized gains, unrealized losses, and fair value of held-to-maturity securities by type and contractual maturity as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable includes amounts due from customers. We offset gross trade accounts receivable with an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the potential for recovery is no longer reasonably assured.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method. Costs to produce products are included in cost of revenues as incurred.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Additions and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Assets that qualify for the capitalization of interest cost during their construction period are evaluated on a per project basis and, if material, the costs are capitalized. No interest costs associated with our construction projects were capitalized in any of the years presented as the amounts were not material. Depreciation of plant and equipment is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Software and Website Development Costs
We capitalize eligible salaries and payroll-related costs of employees and third-party consultants who devote time to the development of websites and internal-use computer software. Capitalization begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally over a three year period. Costs associated with preliminary stage software development, repair, maintenance or the development of website content are expensed as incurred.
Amortization of previously capitalized amounts in the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $54,646, $47,560, and $40,753, respectively, resulting in accumulated amortization of $273,629 and $231,482 at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Intangible Assets
We capitalize the costs of purchasing patents from unrelated third parties and amortize these costs over the estimated useful life of the patent. The costs related to patent applications, pursuing others who we believe infringe on our patents, and defending against patent-infringement claims are expensed as incurred.
We record acquired intangible assets at fair value on the date of acquisition using the income approach to value the trade names, customer relationships and customer network and a replacement cost approach to value developed technology and our print network. The income approach calculates fair value by discounting the forecasted after-tax cash flows back to a present value using an appropriate discount rate. The baseline data for this analysis was the cash flow estimates used to price the transaction. We amortize such assets using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset, unless another amortization method is deemed to be more appropriate. In estimating the useful life of the acquired assets, we reviewed the expected use of the assets acquired, factors that may limit the useful life of an acquired asset or may enable the extension of the useful life of an acquired asset without substantial cost, the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors, and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.
We evaluate the remaining useful life of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, we amortize the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful life.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets with a finite life are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable.
During the year ended June 30, 2021, our intent to occupy two leased spaces changed, and we performed the required impairment assessment for the right-of-use assets. The assessment resulted in a total impairment charge of $12,769 for both right-of-use assets as well as an $8,303 impairment charge for abandoned assets associated with the leased spaces. These charges were recognized in general and administrative expense. Refer to Note 16 for additional information about the lease changes in fiscal year 2021.
Business Combinations
We recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition. We assess the fair value of assets, including intangible assets, using a variety of methods and each asset is measured at fair value from the perspective of a market participant. The method used to estimate the fair values of intangible assets incorporates significant assumptions regarding the estimates a market participant would make in order to evaluate an asset, including a market participant’s use of the asset and the appropriate discount rates. Assets acquired that are determined to not have economic use for us are expensed immediately. Any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. Transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
The consideration for our acquisitions often includes future payments that are contingent upon the occurrence of a particular event. For acquisitions that qualify as business combinations, we record an obligation for such contingent payments at fair value on the acquisition date.
Goodwill
The evaluation of goodwill for impairment is performed at a level referred to as a reporting unit. A reporting unit is either the “operating segment level” or one level below, which is referred to as a “component.” The level at which the impairment test is performed requires an assessment as to whether the operations below the operating segment should be aggregated as one reporting unit due to their similarity or reviewed individually. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is considered to be impaired when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.
We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the results of this analysis indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further assessment is necessary. To perform the quantitative approach, we estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we record an impairment loss equal to the difference.
For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized no goodwill impairment charges, and during the year ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $100,842. We recognized a partial impairment of the goodwill of our Exaprint reporting unit of $40,391 (a business within The Print Group reportable segment), a full impairment of the goodwill of our National Pen reporting unit of $34,434 and a full impairment of the goodwill of our VIDA reporting unit of $26,017 (a business previously reported within All Other Businesses reportable segment).
Refer to Note 8 for additional details regarding the annual goodwill impairment test performed in the current fiscal year.
Debt Issuance Costs
Costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized and amortized over the term of the respective financing arrangement on a straight-line basis through the maturity date of the related debt instrument. We evaluate all changes to our debt arrangements, to determine whether the changes represent a modification or extinguishment to the old debt arrangement. If a debt instrument is deemed to be modified, we capitalize all new lenders fees and expense all third-party fees. If we determine that an extinguishment of one of our debt instruments has occurred, the unamortized financing fees associated with the extinguished instrument are expensed. For the revolving loans associated with our senior secured credit facility, all lender and third-party fees are capitalized, and in the event an amendment reduces the committed capacity under the revolving loans, we expense a portion of any unamortized fees on a pro-rata basis in proportion to the decrease in the committed capacity.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We record all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. We apply hedge accounting to arrangements that qualify and are designated for hedge accounting treatment, which includes cash flow and net investment hedges. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively if the hedging relationship ceases to be effective or the hedging or hedged items cease to exist as a result of maturity, sale, termination or cancellation.
Derivatives designated and qualifying as hedges of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges which could include interest rate swap contracts and cross-currency swap contracts. In a cash flow hedging relationship, the effective and ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The portion of gain or loss on the derivative instrument previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income remains in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until the forecasted transaction is recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, we present the settlement amount of these contracts within cash from operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows, if the hedged item continues after contract settlement.
Derivatives designated and qualifying as hedges of currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation are considered net investment hedges which could include cross-currency swap and currency forward contracts as well as intercompany loans. In hedging the currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign
operation, the effective and ineffective portion of gains and losses on the hedging instruments is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as part of currency translation adjustment. The portion of gain or loss on the derivative instrument previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income remains in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until we reduce our investment in the hedged foreign operation through a sale or substantial liquidation.
We also enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of our risks, even though we may not elect to apply hedge accounting or the instrument may not qualify for hedge accounting. When hedge accounting is not applied, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded directly in earnings as a component of other (expense) income, net.
In accordance with the fair value measurement guidance, our accounting policy is to measure the credit risk of our derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. We execute our derivative instruments with financial institutions that we judge to be credit-worthy, defined as institutions that hold an investment grade credit rating.
Shareholders' Deficit
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Comprehensive (loss) income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive (loss) income is composed of net (loss) income, unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, unrealized loss on pension benefit obligation, and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments, which are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Treasury Shares
Treasury shares are accounted for using the cost method and are included as a component of shareholders' equity. Prior to June 2022, we reissued treasury shares as part of our share-based compensation programs and as consideration for some of our acquisition transactions. Upon issuance of treasury shares we determine the cost using the average cost method.
Warrants
We bifurcate and separately account for a detachable warrant as a separate equity instrument. The value assigned to the warrants was determined based on a relative fair value allocation between the warrants and related debt. The fair value of the warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation and applying a discount for the lack of marketability for the warrants. We present the allocated value for the warrants within additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 11 for additional details.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue primarily from the sale and shipment of customized manufactured products. We also generate revenue, to a much lesser extent (and primarily in our Vista business) from digital services, website design and hosting, professional design services, and email marketing services, as well as a small percentage from order referral fees and other third-party offerings. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. Shipping revenues are recognized when control of the related products is transferred to the customer. For design service arrangements, we recognize revenue when the services are complete. A portion of this revenue relates to design contests in which we have determined that we are the principal in the arrangement as we satisfy our contractual performance obligation to provide the customer with the benefit of our platform and network of designers.
Under the terms of most of our arrangements with our customers we provide satisfaction guarantees, which give our customers an option for a refund or reprint over a specified period of time if the customer is not fully satisfied. As such, we record a reserve for estimated sales returns and allowances as a reduction of revenue, based on historical experience or the specific identification of an event necessitating a reserve. Actual sales returns have historically not been significant.
We have elected to recognize shipping and handling activities that occur after transfer of control of the products as fulfillment activities and not as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our single performance obligation upon the transfer of control of the fulfilled orders, which generally occurs upon delivery to the shipping carrier. If revenue is recognized prior to completion of the shipping and handling activities, we accrue the costs of those activities. We do have some arrangements whereby the transfer of control, and thus revenue recognition, occurs upon delivery to the customer. If multiple products are ordered together, each product is considered a separate performance obligation, and the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling price. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of each performance obligation. We generally determine the standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to our customers.
Our products are customized for each individual customer with no alternative use except to be delivered to that specific customer; however, we do not have an enforceable right to payment prior to delivering the items to the customer based on the terms and conditions of our arrangements with customers and therefore we recognize revenue at a point in time.
We record deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of our satisfaction of the related performance obligation. The satisfaction of performance obligations generally occurs shortly after cash payment and we expect to recognize our deferred revenue balance as revenue within three months subsequent to June 30, 2022.
We periodically provide marketing materials and promotional offers to new customers and existing customers that are intended to improve customer retention. These incentive offers are generally available to all customers and, therefore, do not represent a performance obligation as customers are not required to enter into a contractual commitment to receive the offer. These discounts are recognized as a reduction to the transaction price when used by the customer. Costs related to free products are included within cost of revenue and sample products are included within marketing and selling expense.
We have elected to expense incremental direct costs as incurred, which primarily includes sales commissions, since our contract periods generally are less than one year and the related performance obligations are satisfied within a short period of time.
Restructuring
Restructuring costs are recorded in connection with initiatives designed to improve efficiency or enhance competitiveness. Restructuring initiatives require us to make estimates in several areas, including expenses for severance and other employee separation costs and our ability to generate sublease income to enable us to terminate lease obligations at the estimated amounts.
For jurisdictions in which there are statutorily required minimum benefits for involuntary terminations, severance benefits are documented in an employee manual or labor contract, or are consistent with prior restructuring plan benefits, we evaluate these benefits as ongoing benefit arrangements. We recognize the liability for these arrangements when it is probable that the employee would be entitled to the benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The expense timing generally occurs when management has committed to and approved the restructuring plan.
Involuntary termination benefits that are in excess of statutory minimum requirements and prior restructuring plan benefits are recognized as one-time termination benefits and expensed at the date we notify the employee, unless the employee must provide future service beyond the statutory minimum retention period, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Liabilities for costs associated with a facility exit or disposal activity are recognized when the liability is incurred, as opposed to when management commits to an exit plan, and are measured at fair value. Restructuring costs are presented as a separate financial statement line within our consolidated statement of operations.
Advertising Expense
Our advertising costs are primarily expensed as incurred and included in marketing and selling expense. Advertising expense for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $408,566, $333,665, and $302,449, respectively, which consisted of external costs related to customer acquisition and retention marketing campaigns.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included in technology and development expense. Research and development expense for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $56,996, $49,254, and $49,201, respectively, which consisted of costs related to enhancing our manufacturing engineering and technology capabilities.
Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we calculate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our current tax expense and deferred tax expense based on assessing temporary and permanent differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when we expect temporary differences to reverse. We assess the ability to realize our deferred tax assets based upon the weight of available evidence both positive and negative. To the extent we believe that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust our estimates in the future, we may need to increase or decrease income tax expense, which could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefits recognized in our financial statements from such positions are measured as the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The unrecognized tax benefits will reduce our effective tax rate if recognized. Interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in the provision for income taxes. Stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss are released on an item-by-item basis based on when the applicable derivative is recognized in earnings. We account for investment tax credits using the “deferral” method, under which the tax benefit from an investment tax credit is deferred and amortized over the book life of the related property.
During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act became applicable to our operations. Companies subject to GILTI have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences, including outside basis differences, expected to reverse as GILTI. We elected to account for GILTI as a period cost, as incurred. We do not expect GILTI to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
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 income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations.
Other Income (Expense), Net
The following table summarizes the components of other income (expense), net:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Year Ended June 30, |
| | | | | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
Gains (losses) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments (1) | | | | | $ | 58,148 | | | $ | (20,728) | | | $ | 20,564 | |
Currency-related gains, net (2) | | | | | 244 | | | 1,005 | | | 2,309 | |
Other gains | | | | | 3,071 | | | 370 | | | 1 | |
Total other income (expense), net (3) | | | | | $ | 61,463 | | | $ | (19,353) | | | $ | 22,874 | |
_____________________
(1) Includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments,as well as the ineffective portion of certain interest rate swap contracts that have been de-designated from hedge accounting. For contracts not designated as hedging instruments, we realized gains of $9,955 and $28,902, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2022
and 2020, and losses of $6,854 for the year ended June 30, 2021. Refer to Note 4 for additional details relating to our derivative contracts.
(2) Currency-related (losses) 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 certain cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges which hedge the remeasurement of certain intercompany loans; refer to Note 4 for additional details relating to these cash flow hedges.
(3) During fiscal year 2022, we identified an immaterial error and revised our previously reported results to reduce the gain presented above by $7,518 for the year ended June 30, 2021. Refer to the "Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements" section above for additional details.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Cimpress plc
Basic net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Cimpress plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including share options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), warrants, and performance share units ("PSUs"), if the effect of the securities is dilutive using the treasury stock method. Awards with performance or market conditions are included using the treasury stock method only if the conditions would have been met as of the end of the reporting period and their effect is dilutive.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted-average number of ordinary shares:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Year Ended June 30, |
| | | | | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic | | | | | 26,094,842 | | | 25,996,572 | | | 27,180,744 | |
Weighted average shares issuable upon exercise/vesting of outstanding share options/RSUs/warrants (1) | | | | | — | | | — | | | 592,542 | |
Shares used in computing diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc | | | | | 26,094,842 | | | 25,996,572 | | | 27,773,286 | |
Weighted average anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cimpress plc (1)(2) | | | | | 762,086 | | | 494,329 | | | 1,325 | |
___________________(1) In the periods in which a net loss is recognized, the impact of share options, RSUs, RSAs and warrants is not included as they are anti-dilutive.
(2) On May 1, 2020, we entered into a financing arrangement with Apollo Global Management, Inc., which included 7-year warrants with a strike price of $60 that have a potentially dilutive impact on our weighted average shares outstanding. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the weighted average anti-dilutive effect of the warrants were 138,088 and 368,933 shares, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2020, the weighted average dilutive effect of the warrants was 73,719 shares, respectively.
Share-based Compensation
Compensation expense for all share-based awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized over the requisite service period. We recognize the impact of forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of share options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, or lattice model for share options with a market condition or subsidiary share options. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the quoted price of our ordinary shares on the date of the grant. Such value is recognized ratably as expense over the requisite service period, or on an accelerated method for awards with a performance or market condition. For awards that are ultimately settleable in cash, we treat them as liability awards and mark the award to market each reporting period recognizing any gain or loss in our statements of operations. For awards with a performance condition vesting feature, compensation cost is recorded if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.
We have issued PSUs, and we calculate the fair value at grant which is fixed throughout the vesting period. The fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. As the PSUs include both a service and market condition the related expense is recognized using the accelerated expense attribution method over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. For PSUs that meet the service vesting condition, the expense recognized over the requisite service period will not be reversed if the market condition is not achieved.
Sabbatical Leave
Compensation expense associated with a sabbatical leave, or other similar benefit arrangements, is accrued over the requisite service period during which an employee earns the benefit, net of estimated forfeitures, and is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business. We do not have any customers that accounted for greater than 10% of our accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022 and 2021. We do not have any customers that accounted for greater than 10% of our revenue for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020.
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses based upon specific customer accounts and historical trends, and such losses to date in the aggregate have not materially exceeded our expectations.
Lease Accounting
We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at contract inception. We consider an arrangement to be a lease if it conveys the right to control an identifiable asset for a period of time. Costs for operating leases that include incentives such as payment escalations or rent abatement are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Additionally, inducements received are treated as a reduction of our costs over the term of the agreement. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the shorter of their expected useful life or the lease term, excluding renewal periods.
Lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities for operating and finance leases are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at lease commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. Our incremental borrowing rate approximates the interest rate on a collateralized basis for the economic environments where our leased assets are located, and is established by considering the credit spread associated with our existing debt arrangements, as well as observed market rates for instruments with a similar term to that of the lease payments. ROU assets also include any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement, as well as any initial direct costs incurred. Lease incentives received from the lessor are recognized as a reduction to the ROU asset.
Our initial determination of the lease term is based on the facts and circumstances that exist at lease commencement. The lease term may include the effect of options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. We consider these options reasonably certain to be exercised based on our assessment of economic incentives, including the fair market rent for equivalent properties under similar terms and conditions, costs of relocating, availability of comparable replacement assets, and any related disruption to operations that would be experienced by not renewing the lease.
Finance leases are accounted for as an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation. Assets held under finance leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease, and amortized over the useful life of the asset. The corresponding finance lease obligation is recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease.
Operating leases are included in operating lease assets and current and non-current operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease assets are included in property, plant, and equipment, net, and the related liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Variable lease payments are excluded from the operating lease assets and liabilities and are recognized as expense in the period in which the obligation is incurred. Variable lease payments primarily include index-based rent escalation associated with some of our real estate leases, as well as property taxes and common area maintenance payments for most real estate leases, which are determined based on the costs incurred by the lessor. We also make variable lease payments for certain print equipment leases that are determined based on production volumes.
For lease arrangements where we are deemed to be involved in the construction of structural improvements prior to the commencement of the lease or take some level of construction risk, we are considered the owner of the assets during the construction period. Accordingly, as the lessor incurs the construction project costs, the assets and corresponding financial obligation are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet. Once the construction is completed, if the lease meets certain “sale-leaseback” criteria, we will remove the asset and related financial obligation from the balance sheet and treat the building lease as either an operating or finance lease based on our assessment of the guidance. If, upon completion of construction, the project does not meet the “sale-leaseback” criteria, the lease will be treated as a financing obligation and we will depreciate the asset over its estimated useful life for financial reporting purposes.
We have subleased a small amount of our equipment and real estate lease portfolio to third parties, making us the lessor. Most of these subleases meet the criteria for operating lease classification and the related sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within the consolidated statement of operations. To a lesser extent, where we have leases in which we are the lessees, we classify the leases as finance leases and have subleased the asset under similar terms, resulting in their classification as direct financing leases. For direct financing leases, we recognize a sublease receivable within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-08 "Business Combinations (Topic 805) — Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2021-08), which provides authoritative guidance for the accounting of acquired contract assets and liabilities when an acquired company has applied ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We early adopted the standard in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, which allowed us to record the deferred revenue contract liability as it relates to our acquisition of Depositphotos at carrying value. Refer to Note 7 for additional information relating to our Depositphotos acquisition. The impact of this adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-05 "Leases (Topic 842): Lessors – Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments". We early adopted the standard in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, which provides the option for lessors to classify direct-financing or sales-type leases as operating leases if a loss would have been incurred at lease commencement when considering non-indexed variable lease payments in the classification test. We sublease a small number of equipment assets which are classified as direct-financing leases; the variable lease payments associated with these leases would not have created a loss on day one. Therefore, the impact of this adoption had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Issued Accounting Standards to be Adopted
In May 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-04 "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)" (ASU 2021-04), which provides authoritative guidance for the accounting treatment of contracts in an entity's own equity when calculating earnings per share. The standard is effective for us on July 1, 2022. We recognize freestanding equity-classified warrants on our consolidated balance sheet and the effect of those warrants on earnings per share is currently calculated under the treasury stock method. After adopting the standard, we will be required to prospectively apply the weighted average method when calculating the effect of warrants on our earnings per share. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
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 years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 June 30, 2022, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the carrying value of our debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts, was $1,705,365 and $1,764,856, respectively, and the fair value was $1,600,627 and $1,767,209, respectively. Our debt at June 30, 2022 includes variable-rate debt instruments indexed to LIBOR that resets periodically, as well as fixed-rate debt instruments. The estimated fair value of our debt was determined using available market information based on recent trades or activity of debt instruments with substantially similar risks, terms and maturities, which fall within Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.
As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 our held-to-maturity marketable securities were held at an amortized cost of $49,952 and $202,961, respectively, while the fair value was $49,406 and $202,766, respectively. The securities were valued using quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, which fall into Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair value of assets and liabilities disclosed above may not be representative of actual values that could have been or will be realized in the future.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
We use derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts, cross-currency swap contracts, and currency forward and option contracts, to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Derivatives are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. If the 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. Additionally, any ineffectiveness associated with an effective and designated hedge is recognized within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The change in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges is recognized directly in earnings as a component of other income (expense), 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 June 30, 2022, we estimate that $1,970 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2022, we had fourteen effective outstanding interest rate swap contracts indexed to USD LIBOR. These hedges have varying start dates and maturity dates through April 2028.
| | | | | | | | |
Interest rate swap contracts outstanding: | | Notional Amounts |
Contracts accruing interest as of June 30, 2022 | | $ | 400,000 | |
Contracts with a future start date | | 430,000 | |
Total | | $ | 830,000 | |
Hedges of Currency Risk
Cross-Currency Swap Contracts
From time to time, we execute cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges or net investment hedges. Cross-currency swaps involve an initial receipt of the notional amount in the 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 June 30, 2022, we had one outstanding cross-currency swap contract designated as a cash flow hedge with a total notional amount of $58,478, maturing during June 2024. We entered into the cross-currency swap contract to hedge the risk of changes in one Euro-denominated intercompany loan entered into with one of our consolidated subsidiaries that has the Euro as its functional currency.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to other income (expense), net as interest payments are accrued or paid and upon remeasuring the intercompany loan. As of June 30, 2022, we estimate that $1,892 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending June 30, 2023.
Other Currency Hedges
We execute currency forward and option contracts in order to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in various currencies against our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. These contracts or intercompany loans may be designated as hedges to mitigate the risk of changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of a portion of our net investment in consolidated subsidiaries that have the Euro as their functional currency. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized as a component of our cumulative translation adjustment.
In April 2022 we early terminated all of our currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges, and as of June 30, 2022 we had no currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges. We have one intercompany loan designated as a net investment hedge with a total notional amount of $364,524 that matures in May 2028.
We have elected to not apply hedge accounting for all other currency forward and option contracts. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we experienced volatility within other income (expense), 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 June 30, 2022, we had the following outstanding currency derivative contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting and were used to hedge fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of forecasted transactions or balances denominated in Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Danish Krone, Euro, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Krone, Philippine Peso, Swiss Franc and Swedish Krona:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Notional Amount | | Effective Date | | Maturity Date | | Number of Instruments | | Index |
$437,323 | | June 2020 through June 2022 | | Various dates through October 2024 | | 621 | | Various |

7. Business Combinations
Fiscal 2022 Acquisitions
Acquisition of Depositphotos Inc.
On October 1, 2021, we acquired Depositphotos Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Depositphotos"), a global creative platform for digital design. We acquired all outstanding shares of the company for a purchase price of $84,900, which included a post-closing adjustment based on acquired cash, debt, and working capital as of the closing date. We paid $76,119 in cash at closing, and the remaining purchase consideration, including the post-closing adjustment but net of any indemnifiable losses recoverable against the deferred amount, is payable in two separate deferred payments. The first payment of $609 was made in January 2022 and the $8,172 remaining deferred amount is due in October 2022.
Depositphotos is managed within our Vista business and includes VistaCreate (formerly Crello), a rapidly growing leader in do-it-yourself (DIY) digital design, and the separately branded Depositphotos business, a platform for creators that includes images, videos and music that are developed by a large group of content contributors. We expect synergies to provide significant benefits to our Vista business as this represents another integral step toward providing a compelling, full-spectrum design offering to our customers, and also provides another vehicle for the acquisition of new customers, to whom we plan to cross-sell our other products and services.
The table below details the consideration transferred to acquire Depositphotos:
| | | | | |
Cash consideration (paid at closing) | $ | 76,119 | |
Deferred payment | 8,781 | |
| |
Total purchase price | $ | 84,900 | |
We recognized the assets and liabilities on the basis of their fair values at the date of the acquisition with any excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributable to the synergies that we expect to achieve through the acquisition. The goodwill balance has been attributed to the Vista reporting unit and none of the goodwill balance is deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, we identified and valued Depositphotos intangible assets, which include its trade name, customer relationships,
owned content and developed technology.

Depositphotos has been included in our consolidated financial statements starting on its acquisition date. The revenue and earnings of Depositphotos included in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022 are not material, and therefore no proforma financial information is presented. We used our cash on hand to fund the acquisition. In connection with the acquisition, we incurred $887 in general and administrative expenses, as part of our central and corporate costs during the year ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to legal, financial, and other professional services.
Other Acquisition
On January 21, 2022, we completed an investment in a European company that is intended to support certain strategic initiatives within our PrintBrothers reportable segment. After giving effect to this investment, we have acquired approximately 75% of the company's shares for total cash and noncash consideration of $11,218. We recognized the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest on the basis of their fair values at the date of the acquisition, resulting in goodwill of $10,484 which is not deductible for tax purposes. The net assets recognized largely consist of the cash and deferred tax liability balances acquired. The revenue and earnings included in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022 are not material. We utilized our available cash balance to finance the acquisition.
Fiscal 2021 Acquisitions
Acquisition of 99designs, Inc.
On October 1, 2020, we acquired 99designs, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("99designs"), a global creative platform for graphic design. We acquired all outstanding shares of the company for a purchase price of $90,000, subject to a post-closing adjustment based on acquired cash, debt, and working capital as of the closing date. We paid $45,000 in cash at closing and paid the remaining purchase consideration, including the post-closing adjustment, on February 15, 2022. The acquisition is managed within our Vista business and provides a global platform that connects designers and clients, making it easier for small businesses to access both professional design services and marketing products in one place. We expect the synergies achieved through integration with the 99designs designer network to provide significant benefits to our Vista business.
The table below details the consideration transferred to acquire 99designs:
| | | | | |
Cash consideration (paid at closing) | $ | 45,000 | |
Fair value of deferred payment | 43,381 | |
Final post closing adjustment | 310 | |
Total purchase price | $ | 88,691 | |
We recognized the assets and liabilities on the basis of their fair values at the date of the acquisition with any excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributable to the synergies that we expect to achieve through the acquisition. The goodwill balance has been attributed to the Vista reporting unit and a portion of such goodwill balance is deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, we identified and valued 99designs intangible assets which include their trade name, designer network, and developed technology.

Other Acquisition
On April 23, 2021 we completed an acquisition of a fast growing company with an attractive product capability as part of our BuildASign business, acquiring approximately 81% of the company's shares for total consideration of $18,535. We recognized the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest on the basis of their fair values at the date of the acquisition, resulting in goodwill of $14,208 which is not deductible for tax purposes. This acquisition is presented within our All Other Businesses segment. We utilized proceeds from our senior secured credit facility to finance the acquisition.

Annual Impairment Review
Our goodwill accounting policy establishes an annual goodwill impairment test date of May 31. For our fiscal year 2022 annual impairment assessment, we bypassed the qualitative test and performed a quantitative test for all nine reporting units with goodwill.
To perform our quantitative goodwill test, we used the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method, to derive the fair value of each reporting unit. This approach calculates fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. We selected this method as being the most meaningful in preparing our goodwill assessment as we believe the income approach most appropriately measures our income-producing assets. We considered using the market approach but concluded it was not appropriate in valuing these particular reporting units given the lack of relevant market comparisons available. The cash flow projections in the fair value analysis are considered Level 3 inputs, and consist of management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration historical results, as well as industry and market conditions. The discount rate used in the fair value analysis is based on a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), which represents the average rate a business must pay its providers of debt and equity, plus a risk premium. The respective WACC percentages used for each reporting unit within our goodwill impairment test were derived from a group of comparable companies for each respective reporting unit and adjusted for the risk premium associated with each reporting unit. Based on the results of this test, the fair values of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values and no goodwill impairment was recognized.

(1) Balances as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 are inclusive of short-term debt issuance costs, debt premiums and discounts of $3,498 and $3,435, respectively.
Our various debt arrangements described below contain customary representations, warranties and events of default. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants in our debt contracts, including those under our amended and restated senior secured credit agreement ("Restated Credit Agreement") and the indenture governing our 2026 Notes (as defined below).
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On May 17, 2021, we entered into a Restated Credit Agreement consisting of the following:
•A senior secured Term Loan B with a maturity date of May 17, 2028 (the “Term Loan B”), consisting of:
◦a $795,000 tranche that bears interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 0.50%) plus 3.50%, and
◦a €300,000 tranche that bears interest at EURIBOR (with a EURIBOR floor of 0%) plus 3.50%; and
•A $250,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 17, 2026 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 0%) plus 2.50% to 3.00% depending on the Company’s First Lien Leverage Ratio, a net leverage calculation, as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement.
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 June 30, 2022, we have borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement of $1,097,302 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 June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement was 4.98%, inclusive of interest rate swap rates. We are also required to pay a commitment fee for our Revolving Credit Facility on unused balances of 0.35% to 0.45% depending on our First Lien Leverage Ratio. We have pledged the assets and/or share capital of a number of our subsidiaries as collateral for our debt as of June 30, 2022.
Senior Unsecured Notes
We have issued $600,000 in aggregate principal of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), which are unsecured. We can redeem some or all of the 2026 Notes at the redemption prices specified in the indenture that governs the 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. As of June 30, 2022, we have not redeemed any of the 2026 Notes.
Other Debt
Other debt consists primarily of term loans acquired through our various acquisitions or used to fund certain capital investments. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, we had $8,063 and $12,835, respectively, outstanding for those obligations that are payable through March 2027.
11. Shareholders' Deficit
Warrants
In conjunction with our issuance of our 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 in fiscal year 2020, we also issued 7-year warrants, to purchase 1,055,377 ordinary shares of Cimpress, representing approximately 3.875% of our outstanding diluted ordinary shares. The warrants are accounted for as equity, as they are redeemable only in our own shares, with an exercise price of $60 per share. The warrants may be exercised by cash payment or through cashless exercise by the surrender of warrant shares having a value equal to the exercise price of the portion of the warrant being exercised.
The fair value used for the warrants in this allocation was calculated using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The valuation of the notes and warrants resulted in a carrying value allocated to the warrants of $22,432, which, in addition to be being accounted for as an equity instrument recorded in additional paid in capital, was included as a discount to the 12% Senior Secured Notes. As of June 30, 2022 the warrants remain outstanding.
Share-based awards
On November 25, 2020, our shareholders approved our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2020 Plan. Upon approval, we ceased granting any new awards under any of our prior equity plans that had shares available for future grant, consisting of our 2016 Performance Equity Plan, 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, and 2005 Non-Employee Directors' Share Option Plan, and we now grant all equity awards under the 2020 Plan. The maximum number of ordinary shares to be issued under the 2020 Plan is 3,500,000 plus an additional number of ordinary shares equal to the number of PSUs currently outstanding under the 2016 Performance Equity Plan that expire, terminate or are
otherwise surrendered, canceled or forfeited. The 2020 Plan allows us to grant share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, other share-based awards, and dividend equivalent rights to our employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors.
As noted above, we currently grant equity awards under our 2020 Plan. Our 2016 Performance Equity Plan previously allowed us to grant PSUs to our employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors. The 2011 Equity Incentive Plan previously allowed us to grant share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units and other awards based on our ordinary shares to our employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. Our 2005 Non-Employee Directors’ Share Option Plan previously allowed us to grant share options to our non-employee directors upon initial appointment as a director and annually thereafter in connection with our annual general meeting of shareholders if they continued to serve as a director at such time.
As of June 30, 2022, 1,480,926 ordinary shares were available for future awards under our 2020 Plan. For PSUs, we assumed that we would issue ordinary shares equal to 250% of the outstanding PSUs, which is the maximum potential share issuance. Treasury shares and newly issued shares have both historically been used in fulfillment of our share-based awards.
Performance share units ("PSUs")
PSU awards entitle the recipient to receive Cimpress ordinary shares between 0% and 250% of the number of units, based upon continued service to Cimpress and the achievement of a compounded annual growth rate target based on Cimpress' three-year moving average share price. Awards with a grant date prior to fiscal year 2020 and all awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors will be assessed annually in years 6 - 10 following the grant date and awards with a grant date in or after fiscal year 2020 (other than to the CEO and Board) will be assessed annually in years 4 - 8 following the grant date. The fair value of the PSUs is based on a Monte Carlo simulation, and the resulting expense is recognized on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period.
A summary of our PSU activity and related information for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| PSUs | | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding at the beginning of the period | 1,158,716 | | | $ | 134.45 | | | |
Granted | 215,899 | | | 110.28 | | | |
Vested and distributed | — | | | — | | | |
Forfeited | (15,373) | | | 134.98 | | | |
Outstanding at the end of the period | 1,359,242 | | | $ | 130.61 | | | $ | 52,875 | |
The weighted average fair value of PSUs granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $110.28, $129.25, and $142.90, respectively. The total intrinsic value of PSUs outstanding at the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $52,875, $125,616, and $78,951, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the number of shares subject to PSUs included in the table above assumes the issuance of one share for each PSU, but based on actual performance that amount delivered can range from zero shares to a maximum of 3,398,105 shares.
Restricted share units
The fair value of an RSU award is equal to the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. RSUs generally vest over 4 years.
A summary of our RSU activity and related information for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| RSUs | | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Unvested at the beginning of the period | 434,389 | | | $ | 93.54 | | | |
Granted | 771,671 | | | 80.26 | | | |
Vested and distributed | (113,207) | | | 93.92 | | | |
Forfeited | (54,619) | | | 92.91 | | | |
Unvested at the end of the period | 1,038,234 | | | $ | 83.66 | | | $ | 40,387 | |
The weighted average fair value of RSUs granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $80.26, $93.64, and $46.94, respectively. The total intrinsic value of RSUs vested during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, 2020 was $10,123, $17,231, and $1,905, respectively.
Share options
We have previously granted options to purchase ordinary shares at prices that are at least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the option is granted and that generally vest over 4 years with a contractual term of ten years.
The fair value of each option award subject only to service period vesting is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to inputs. The expected volatility assumption is based upon historical volatility of our share price. The expected term assumption is based on the contractual and vesting term of the option and historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with a maturity equal to the expected life assumed at the grant date. The fair value of share options with a market condition is determined using a lattice model with compensation expense recorded on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period.
We did not grant any share options in fiscal year 2022. A summary of our share option activity and related information for the year ended June 30, 2022 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Shares Pursuant to Options | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding at the beginning of the period | 5,298 | | | $ | 80.01 | | | 3.8 | | |
Granted | — | | | — | | | | | |
Exercised | — | | | — | | | | | |
Forfeited/expired | — | | | — | | | | | |
Outstanding at the end of the period | 5,298 | | | 80.01 | | | 2.8 | | $ | — | |
Exercisable at the end of the period | 5,298 | | | $ | 80.01 | | | 2.8 | | $ | — | |
The intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax amount, net of exercise price, which would have been received if all option holders exercised in-the-money options on June 30, 2022. No options were exercised during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $5,460, and $92,582, respectively.
Share-based compensation
Total share-based compensation costs were $49,766, $37,034, and $34,874 for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and we elected to recognize the impact of forfeitures as they occur. Share-based compensation costs capitalized as part of software and website development costs were $1,221, $1,338, and $1,157 for the years ended June 30 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, there was $89,977 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested, share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.
12. Employees' Savings Plans
Defined contribution plans
We maintain certain government-mandated and defined contribution plans throughout the world. Our most significant defined contribution retirement plans are in the U.S. and comply with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. We offer eligible employees in the U.S. the opportunity to participate in one of these plans and match most employees' eligible contributions at various rates subject to service vesting as specified in each of the related plan documents. This matching program was temporarily suspended from March 2020 through December 31, 2020 and was reinstated on January 1, 2021.
We expensed $16,157, $12,228, and $10,710 for our government-mandated and defined contribution plans in the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Defined benefit plan
We currently have a defined benefit plan that covers substantially all of our employees in Switzerland. Our Swiss plan is a government-mandated retirement fund with benefits generally earned based on years of service and compensation during active employment; however, the level of benefits varies within the plan. Eligibility is determined in accordance with local statutory requirements. Under this plan, both we and certain of our employees with annual earnings in excess of government determined amounts are required to make contributions into a fund managed by an independent investment fiduciary. Employer contributions must be in an amount at least equal to the employee’s contribution. Minimum employee contributions are based on the respective employee’s age, salary, and gender. As of June 30 2022 and 2021, the plan had an unfunded net pension obligation of approximately $1,173 and $2,883, respectively, and plan assets which totaled approximately $4,754 and $4,128, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 we recognized expense totaling $537, $667, and $399, respectively, related to our Swiss plan.

For the year ended June 30, 2022, our effective tax rate was above our U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to establishing a partial valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $29,600 related to Swiss tax reform benefits recognized in fiscal 2020 and Swiss tax loss carryforwards that we no longer expect to fully realize. The jurisdictions that have the most significant impact to our non-U.S. tax provision include Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland. The applicable tax rates in these jurisdictions range from 10% to 30%. The total tax rate impact from operating in non-U.S. jurisdictions is included in the line “Tax rate differential on non-U.S. earnings” in the above tax rate reconciliation table.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, our effective tax rate was 642.0% as compared to the prior year effective tax rate of (29.7)%. The increase in our effective tax rate as compared to the prior year is primarily due to the Swiss partial valuation allowance in addition to a less favorable mix of earnings year over year. Our fiscal year 2021 effective tax rate was higher than fiscal year 2020 primarily due to Swiss Tax Reform benefits of $113,482 recognized in the year ended June 30, 2020.
On October 25, 2019, the canton of Zurich enacted tax law changes by publishing the results of its referendum to adopt the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (TRAF), which we refer to as Swiss Tax Reform. Swiss Tax Reform was effective as of January 1, 2020 and included the abolishment of various favorable federal and cantonal tax regimes. Swiss Tax Reform provided transitional relief measures for companies that lost the tax benefit of a ruling, including a "step-up" for amortizable goodwill, equal to the amount of future tax benefit they would have received under their existing ruling, subject to certain limitations. We recognized a tax benefit of
$113,482, gross of $29,600 valuation allowance recorded as of June 30, 2022, to establish Swiss deferred tax assets related to transitional relief measures and to remeasure our existing Swiss deferred tax assets and liabilities. We do not expect to realize the majority of this benefit until fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2030. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Swiss tax reform amortizable goodwill deferred tax asset decreased $4,676 due to currency exchange rate changes and $5,310 due to Cantonal tax rate changes.
Significant components of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following at June 30, 2022 and 2021:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2022 | | June 30, 2021 |

Net deferred tax assets | $ | 71,946 | | | $ | 122,185 | |
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The increase in the valuation allowance from the prior year relates primarily to the Swiss partial valuation allowance and losses in certain jurisdictions (mainly Brazil, China, Cyprus, Japan, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) for which management has determined we cannot recognize the related deferred tax assets. Also, we generated $303 of Irish foreign tax credit carryforwards and increased interest limitation carryforwards of $3,440 in various jurisdictions, neither of which expire, but for which management has determined it is more likely than not that these will not be utilized. Other increases in our valuation allowance include increased U.S. research and development credit carryforwards of $2,469 and U.S. share-based compensation deferred tax assets of $4,225. The increase in valuation allowance was offset by the release of valuation allowances related to tax losses in France and Ireland of $3,313 and $3,331, respectively, which management has determined can be realized; the release of valuation allowances related to derivative financial instruments of $5,745 recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the balance sheet; and a partial release in the U.S. of $4,402 related to acquired deferred tax liabilities.
We have recorded valuation allowances of $27,858, $4,783 and $14,300 against deferred tax assets related to U.S. research and development credits, U.S. capital loss carryforwards, and U.S. share-based compensation, respectively, for which management has determined that it is more likely than not that these will not be realized.
We have not recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $10,561 and $102,098 related to Swiss tax losses and the Swiss amortizable goodwill, respectively, as the portions we do expect to realize in the future. Management believes there is sufficient positive evidence in the form of historical and future projected profitability to conclude that it is more likely than not that these benefits in Switzerland will be utilized against future taxable profits within the available carryforward periods. Our assessments are reliant on the attainment of our future operating profit goals. Failure to achieve these operating profit goals may change our assessment of these deferred tax assets, and such change would result in additional valuation allowance and an increase in income tax expense to be recorded in the period of the change in assessment. We will continue to review our forecasts and profitability trends on a quarterly basis.
Based on the weight of available evidence at June 30, 2022, management believes that it is more likely than not that all other net deferred tax assets will be realized in the foreseeable future. We will continue to assess the realization of the deferred tax assets based on operating results on a quarterly basis.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the valuation allowance for the year ended June 30, 2022 is as follows:
| | | | | |
Balance at June 30, 2021 | $ | 111,476 | |
Charges to earnings (1) | 33,859 | |
Charges to other accounts (2) | (10,676) | |
Balance at June 30, 2022 | $ | 134,659 | |
_________________
(1) Amount is primarily related to partial Swiss valuation allowance, increased non-U.S. net operating losses, increased U.S. research and development credits and share-based compensation, increased Irish foreign tax credits, increased interest limitation carryforwards and release of valuation allowances in France, Ireland and the U.S.
(2) Amount is primarily related to decreases in deferred tax assets on non-U.S. net operating losses due to currency exchange rate changes and unrealized gains on derivative financial instruments included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.
As of June 30, 2022, we had gross U.S. federal and apportioned state net operating losses of $3,136 and $22,975, respectively, that expire on various dates from fiscal year 2024 through fiscal year 2040 or with unlimited carryforward. We also had gross non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of $477,144, a significant amount of which begin to expire in fiscal year 2024, with the remaining amounts expiring on various dates from fiscal year 2023 through fiscal year 2032 or with unlimited carryforward. In addition, we had $32,767 of tax credit carryforwards primarily related to U.S. federal and state research and development credits, which expire on various dates beginning in fiscal year 2030 or with unlimited carryforward. We also had $22,778, $5,225 and $1,048 of U.S. federal, apportioned state, and non-U.S. capital loss carryforwards, respectively. The U.S. capital losses expire in fiscal years 2025 through 2027 and the non-U.S. capital losses have unlimited carryforward. Lastly, we had $8,332 of Irish foreign tax credits with unlimited carryforward. The benefits of these carryforwards are dependent upon the generation of taxable income in the jurisdictions where they arose.
We consider the following factors, among others, in evaluating our plans for indefinite reinvestment of our subsidiaries’ earnings: (i) the forecasts, budgets and financial requirements of both our parent company and its subsidiaries, both for the long term and for the short term; (ii) the ability of Cimpress plc to fund its operations and obligations with earnings from other businesses within the global group without incurring substantial tax costs; and (iii) the tax consequences of any decision to reinvest earnings of any subsidiary. As of June 30, 2022, no tax provision has been made for $48,966 of undistributed earnings of certain of our subsidiaries as these earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. If, in the future, we decide to repatriate the undistributed earnings from these subsidiaries in the form of dividends or otherwise, we could be subject to withholding taxes payable in the range of $11,300 to $12,300 at that time. A cumulative deferred tax liability of $6,692 has been recorded attributable to undistributed earnings that we have deemed are not indefinitely reinvested. The remaining undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested and can be repatriated with no tax cost. Accordingly, there has been no provision for income or withholding taxes on these earnings.
We currently benefit from various income tax holidays in certain jurisdictions. The tax holidays expire on various dates through August 2022. When the tax holidays expire, we will be subject to tax at rates ranging from 15% to 25%. As a result of the tax holidays, our net income was higher by $266 for fiscal year 2022.
A reconciliation of the gross beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
| | | | | |
Balance June 30, 2019 | $ | 4,721 | |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current tax year | 586 | |
Additions based on tax positions related to prior tax years | 769 | |
Reductions based on tax positions related to prior tax years | (102) | |
Reductions due to audit settlements | (52) | |
Reductions due to lapse of statute of limitations | (71) | |
Cumulative translation adjustment | (4) | |

Reductions based on tax positions related to prior tax years | (51) | |
Reductions due to audit settlements | (83) | |
Reductions due to lapse of statute of limitations | (229) | |

Balance June 30, 2021 | 13,399 | |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current tax year | 448 | |
Additions based on tax positions related to prior tax years | 2,958 | |
Reductions based on tax positions related to prior tax years | (23) | |
Reductions due to audit settlements | (2,958) | |
Reductions due to lapse of statute of limitations | (799) | |
Cumulative translation adjustment | (29) | |
Balance June 30, 2022 | $ | 12,996 | |
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits (exclusive of interest) that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate is $7,790. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The accrued interest and penalties recognized as of June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $1,383, $1,014 and $384, respectively. It is reasonably possible that a further change in unrecognized tax benefits in the range of $320 to $370 may occur within the next twelve months related to the settlement of one or more audits or 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 2016 through 2022 remain open for examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the years 2015 through 2022 remain open for examination in the various states and non-US tax jurisdictions in which we file tax returns.
We are currently under income tax audit in certain jurisdictions globally. 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 therefore there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
14. 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 businesses' management team owns a minority portion of the equity, which includes those described below, as well as several immaterial noncontrolling interests. The put options for several of our noncontrolling interests are exercisable in fiscal year 2023. Exercising a put option is at the discretion of each noncontrolling interest holder, which creates uncertainty around the timing of our cash outflow should an option be exercised. As of June 30, 2022, the total estimated redemption value is $103,572 for those noncontrolling interests with exercise windows in fiscal year 2023.
PrintBrothers
Members of the PrintBrothers management team hold minority equity interests ranging from 11% to 12% in each of the three businesses within the segment. The put options associated with the redeemable noncontrolling interests have annual exercise windows for 90% of their minority equity interest to Cimpress in each quarter ending in December. The first window occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and no options were exercised. The next exercise window, which occurs in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, is based on actual results through June 30, 2022, and the estimated redemption value for the collective noncontrolling interests is $99,724. If the put options are exercised, then Cimpress may redeem the remaining 10% minority equity interest concurrently with the put option exercise or on the first, second, or third anniversary of the put option exercise. Cimpress has call options for the full amount of the minority equity interests with the first exercise window occurring during the second quarter of fiscal year 2027.
During the year ended June 30, 2022, the redemption value of two PrintBrothers businesses increased above their carrying value due to strong financial performance during the current fiscal year as well as the lapping of a period where performance was more severely impacted by the pandemic. The increased redemption value resulted in an adjustment to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $61,691. The offsetting amount was recognized within retained earnings as the redemption values for these noncontrolling interests were below each estimated fair value.
The following table presents the reconciliation of changes in our redeemable noncontrolling interests: | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest | | | |
Balance as of June 30, 2020 | | $ | 69,106 | | | | |

_________________
(1) During fiscal year 2021, we acquired the majority equity interest in an immaterial business within our All Other reportable segment. On January 21, 2022, we completed a transaction that resulted in our acquisition of a 75% interest in a company that is included in the PrintBrothers reportable segment. The remaining 25% is considered a redeemable noncontrolling interest which was recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date.
(2) Accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value recognized in retained earnings or additional paid in capital is the result of the estimated redemption amount being greater than carrying value but less than fair value. Refer above for additional details included above.
(3) Distributions to noncontrolling interests include contractually required profit sharing payments made annually to the minority interest holders in one of the PrintBrothers businesses.
(4) During fiscal year 2021, a PrintBrothers noncontrolling interest holder sold their shares to Cimpress and in fiscal year 2022 the final redemption amount associated with this share purchase was paid.
15. 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 June 30, 2022, we have numerous operating segments under our management reporting structure which are reported in the following five reportable segments:
•Vista - Vista is the parent brand of multiple offerings including VistaPrint, VistaCreate, 99designs by Vista, and Vista Corporate Solutions, which together represent a full-service design, digital and print solution, elevating small businesses’ presence in physical and digital spaces and empowering them to achieve success. This segment also includes our recently acquired Depositphotos business, whose subsidiary, Crello, was rebranded to VistaCreate soon after the acquisition.
•PrintBrothers - Includes the results of our druck.at, Printdeal, and WIRmachenDRUCK businesses.
•The Print Group - Includes the results of our Easyflyer, Exaprint, Pixartprinting, and Tradeprint businesses.
•National Pen - Includes the global operations of our National Pen business, which manufactures and markets custom writing instruments and promotional products, apparel and gifts.
•All Other Businesses - Includes a collection of businesses grouped together based on materiality. In addition to BuildASign, which is a larger and profitable business, the All Other Businesses reportable segment consists of two smaller businesses that we continue to manage at a relatively modest operating loss and a recently acquired company that provides production expertise and sells into a growing product category.
◦BuildASign is an internet-based provider of canvas-print wall décor, business signage and other large-format printed products, based in Austin, Texas.
◦Printi is an online printing leader in Brazil, which offers a superior customer experience with transparent and attractive pricing, reliable service and quality.
◦YSD is a startup operation that provides end-to-end mass customization solutions to brands and intellectual property owners in China. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we decided to exit our YSD business, which we expect to complete at the beginning of fiscal 2023.
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.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we revised our internal reporting to reallocate certain third-party technology costs that were previously held within our Central and corporate costs to our Vista business and reportable segment. These include certain third-party costs that are variable in nature and the cost variability is primarily driven by decisions or volumes in the Vista business. We have revised our presentation of all prior periods presented to reflect our revised segment reporting, decreasing Vista EBITDA and Central and corporate costs by $7,044, $6,031, and $3,745 for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The expense value of our PSU awards is based on a Monte Carlo fair value analysis and is required to be expensed on an accelerated basis. In order to ensure comparability in measuring our businesses' results, we allocate the straight-line portion of the fixed grant value to our businesses. Any expense in excess of the amount as a result of the fair value measurement of the PSUs and the accelerated expense profile of the awards is recognized within central and corporate costs.
Our definition of segment EBITDA is GAAP operating income excluding certain items, such as depreciation and amortization, expense recognized for contingent earn-out related charges including the changes in fair value of contingent consideration and compensation expense related to cash-based earn-out mechanisms dependent upon continued employment, share-based compensation related to investment consideration, certain impairment expense, and restructuring charges. We include insurance proceeds that are not recognized within operating income. We do not allocate non-operating income, including realized gains and losses on currency hedges, to our segment results.
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 the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, we identified an immaterial error and revised our previously reported results to decrease Vista segment revenue by $16,552 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Refer to Note 2 for additional details.
(2) Refer to the "Revenue by Geographic Region" tables below for detail of the inter-segment revenue within each respective segment. The decrease of inter-segment eliminations is the result of significant cross-business transactions during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 associated with the fulfillment of masks in response to the pandemic. Demand for this product was far lower in the current periods.

__________________ (1) The decrease in operating lease expense from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2022 is mainly driven by prior year decisions to exit certain leased facilities as some of our businesses have shifted to a remote-first operating model.

________________(1) The current fiscal year financing cash outflows include the payment to purchase the leased facility discussed below.
Purchase and Sale of a Leased Facility
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, we paid $27,885 to exercise the purchase option available for one of our leased facilities, resulting in a $23,534 decrease in the current portion of our finance lease obligations. We immediately sold this facility to a separate third party for $23,226.
We previously identified a triggering event for this leased facility in fiscal year 2021 due to a change in our intended use of the right-of-use asset, as we had committed to plans to exit the space and instead market it to be subleased or sold. At that time, we assessed the lease for impairment and performed a discounted cash flow analysis using current market-based rent assumptions, which resulted in an impairment of $7,420 that was recognized in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, we recorded an impairment for abandoned equipment in the amount of $1,680 that was recognized in general and administrative expense for the year ended June 30, 2021.
Due to the fiscal year 2021 impairment charge taken, we recognized a $3,324 gain on the sale of the asset within general and administrative expense on our consolidated statement of operations during the year ended June 30, 2022. For the year ended June 30, 2022, our consolidated statement of cash flows includes a $23,226 cash inflow for the sale of the facility presented as an investing activity as part of proceeds from the sale of assets and a $27,885 cash outflow for the exercise of the purchase option presented as a financing activity as part of payments of finance lease obligations.
Waltham Lease Modification
On January 6, 2021, we modified the lease agreement for our Waltham, Massachusetts office location, which resulted in us retaining a small portion of the previously leased office space in exchange for a reduction to our monthly rent payments for the space we no longer lease and the payment of an early termination fee of $8,761. Due to the partial termination of the lease, we recorded a decrease to the operating lease liabilities of $47,801 to reflect the reduced lease payments, including the termination penalties. We also recorded a decrease to the operating lease asset of $46,645 based on the proportionate decrease in the right-of-use asset, which resulted in a gain of $1,156, recognized in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2021.
Due to our plans to no longer occupy the remaining leased office space and instead market the space to be subleased, we identified a triggering event with regards to the modified right-of-use asset. Therefore, we performed a discounted cash flow analysis that considered market-based rent assumptions, which resulted in an impairment of the right-of-use asset of $7,489 which was recognized in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, we recorded an impairment to general and administrative expense for abandoned assets related to the vacated space totaling $4,483, which included $2,787 in subtenant allowances, $1,312 in leasehold improvements, and $384 in furniture and fixtures.

Other Obligations
We deferred payments for several of our acquisitions resulting in the recognition of a liability of $8,425 as of June 30, 2022, which primarily relates to a deferred payment for our acquisition of Depositphotos that is payable in October 2022. Refer to Note 7 for additional details.
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.
18. Restructuring Charges
Restructuring costs include one-time employee termination benefits, acceleration of share-based compensation, write-off of assets and other related costs including third-party professional and outplacement services. During the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recognized restructuring charges of $13,603, $1,641, and $13,543, respectively.
Fiscal Year 2022
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we made decisions in light of a more uncertain macro economic environment and our focus to improve profitability, which resulted in the prioritization of investments that we expect to have a nearer-term return, and deprioritization of some investments that we expect to have a longer path to returns. This resulted in decisions to reduce costs in certain areas including exiting our operations in Japan and China, while also taking additional headcount actions in our Vista business and in our central technology team. During the year ended June 30, 2022, we recognized restructuring expense related to these actions of $7,492 in our Vista segment, $1,093 in our All Other Businesses reportable segment and $854 in our central and corporate costs. We expect to recognize additional non-cash charges in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 upon approval and modification to accelerate vest share-based compensation awards.
Additionally, our National Pen business recognized restructuring expense of $4,178 during the year ended June 30, 2022, incurred for both the decision to move its European production operations from Ireland to the Czech Republic and the decision to exit the Japan market. When the Czech move is complete, we anticipate improved speed and delivery cost efficiencies for the business's European customers. We expect to recognize additional charges associated with these actions during the next fiscal year as impacted employees continue to vest in additional termination benefits, but we do not expect those additional costs to be material.
There were also immaterial adjustments to restructuring expense during this fiscal year due to changes in prior period estimates within The Print Group reportable segment.
Fiscal Year 2021
During the year ended June 30, 2021 we recognized restructuring charges of $1,641, primarily due to organizational changes within The Print Group segment totaling $1,966 intended to streamline certain activities. This was partially offset by changes in estimate related to prior period actions of $325. This action was completed during fiscal year 2021.
Fiscal Year 2020
During the year ended June 30, 2020, we recognized restructuring charges of $13,543, consisting of charges of $5,734 within our Vista reportable segment as we evolved our organizational structure, including our reorganization of the technology team. We also recognized $3,532 in charges within our central and corporate costs, due to the coordinated reorganization of technology teams with our Vista business. We also incurred charges of $3,211, $535, and $475 in our National Pen, All Other Businesses and The Print Group reportable segments, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2020, for various cost reduction measures primarily in response to the pandemic. These restructuring actions were completed during fiscal year 2020.
The following table summarizes the restructuring activity during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
