Ernst Teunissen, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, "Vistaprint is committed to driving strong long-term shareholder returns. In light of our market opportunity and successful track record of execution, we have adopted an investment approach that we believe will support our strategy and drive stronger returns and robust revenue and earnings growth over the next several years. Our five-year goal is to achieve 20 percent or better constant-currency compound annual growth rates for both revenue and earnings. We expect to make deep investments earlier in the five-year period, starting in fiscal 2012. Therefore, in fiscal 2012, these planned investments will reduce earnings, but we anticipate revenue growth of 20 percent to 26 percent as compared to 22 percent for fiscal 2011." 

Financial Guidance as of July 28, 2011:

Based on current and anticipated levels of demand and recent foreign currency rates, the company expects the following financial results:

Revenue

  • For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, the company expects revenue of approximately $980 million to $1,030 million, or 20 percent to 26 percent growth year over year in reported terms and approximately 18 percent to 24 percent in constant-currency terms. Constant-currency growth expectations assume a recent 30-day currency exchange rate for all currencies. 
  • For the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011, the company expects revenue of approximately $207 million to $215 million, or 21 percent to 26 percent growth year over year in reported terms and approximately 16 percent to 21 percent in constant-currency terms.

GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share

  • For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, the company expects GAAP diluted earnings per share of approximately $1.10 to $1.20, which assumes 44.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. 
  • For the quarter ending September 30, 2011, the company expects GAAP diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.07 to $0.17, which assumes 44.5 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share

  • For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, the company expects non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share of approximately $1.58 to $1.68, which excludes expected share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect of approximately $22.2 million, and assumes a non-GAAP diluted weighted average share count of approximately 45.0 million shares.
  • For the quarter ending September 30, 2011, the company expects non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share of approximately $0.20 to $0.30, which excludes expected share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect of approximately $5.8 million, and assumes a non-GAAP diluted weighted average share count of approximately 45.0 million shares.

Capital Expenditures

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, and constant-currency revenue growth. 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.    

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.
