VENLO, Netherlands, Jan. 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vistaprint N.V. (Nasdaq:VPRT), a leading online provider of professional marketing products and services to micro businesses and the home, today announced financial results for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, the second quarter of its 2011 fiscal year.

"Vistaprint delivered very good second quarter results," said Robert Keane, president and chief executive officer. "Revenue strength was largely driven by our seasonal holiday business, particularly in Europe. Earnings exceeded our expectations due to the higher-than-anticipated revenue and volume-related gross margin improvements. Overall, I am very pleased that we were able to deliver these results in the near term, while at the same time reorganizing the management reporting structures in our business to help us achieve our growth objectives over the longer term."

Financial Metrics:

Excluding the estimated impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations, total revenue grew 23 percent from the same quarter a year ago. Excluding the impact of the termination of membership programs which generated 0.9 percent of total revenue in the second quarter of 2010, but 0 percent of total revenue in the second quarter of 2011, constant currency revenue growth was 25 percent year over year.
  • Gross margin (revenue minus the cost of revenue as a percent of total revenue) in the second quarter was 66.3 percent, compared to 65.1 percent in the same quarter a year ago.

  • GAAP net income per diluted share for the second quarter was $0.75, versus $0.59 in the same quarter a year ago.

About non-GAAP financial measures

To supplement Vistaprint's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Vistaprint has used the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by Securities and Exchange Commission (or SEC) rules: non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share, free cash flow, constant currency revenue growth, and constant currency revenue growth, ex-membership. The items excluded from the non-GAAP adjusted net income measurements are share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, purchases of intangible assets, and capitalization of software and website development costs. Constant currency revenue growth is estimated 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. Constant currency revenue growth, ex-membership excludes both the estimated impact of currency described above, as well as the revenue from membership programs in the prior year period that were previously offered by Vistaprint.   

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included at the end of this release. The tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation between these financial measures.

Vistaprint's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information in assessing our performance and when forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also have facilitated management's internal comparisons to Vistaprint's historical performance and our competitors' operating results. 

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures as a courtesy to investors. However, to gain a more complete understanding of the company's financial performance, management does (and investors should) rely upon GAAP statements of operations and cash flow.
