NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited 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.
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.
Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests held by third parties in consolidated subsidiaries are considered mandatorily redeemable when they are subject to an unconditional obligation to be redeemed by both parties. The redeemable noncontrolling interest must be required to be repurchased on a specified date or on the occurrence of a specified event that is certain to occur and is to be redeemed via the transfer of assets. Mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented as liability-based financial instruments and are re-measured on a recurring basis to the expected redemption value.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the exercise of put options by the minority shareholders of three PrintBrothers businesses to redeem a portion of their equity interests triggered a mandatory redemption feature for the remaining minority interests after exercise. As such, we reclassified the remaining minority equity interests from redeemable noncontrolling interest to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest, which is presented as part of other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 10 for additional details.
10
Marketable Securities
We hold certain investments that are classified as held-to-maturity 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, U.S. government agency securities, bank time deposits, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, and medium term notes. We invest in securities with a remaining 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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
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 March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

For contracts not designated as hedging instruments, we realized gains of $ 4,876 and $ 35,864 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, and gains of $ 2,011 and losses $ 2,407 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022. Losses on ineffective interest rate swaps amounted to $ 6,580 and $ 6,364 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, compared to no gains or losses in the current periods. Refer to Note 4 for additional details relating to our derivative contracts.
11
(2) Currency-related gains (losses), 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 a cross-currency swap designated as a cash flow hedge which hedges the remeasurement of an intercompany loan.

Basic net loss per share attributable to Cimpress plc is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Cimpress plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net loss 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:
Three Months Ended March 31, Nine Months Ended March 31,
2023 2022 2023 2022
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted 26,268,301 26,102,610 26,226,989 26,090,460
Weighted average anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted net loss per share attributable to Cimpress plc (1)(2) 3,161,275 908,354 3,045,675 770,500
___________________
(1) In the periods in which a net loss is recognized, the impact of share options, RSUs 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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the weighted average anti-dilutive effect of the warrants was 1,055,377 shares in both periods, and 103,443 and 264,963 shares for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-06 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848" (ASU 2022-06), which extends the optional transition relief to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. The transition relief is provided through December 30, 2024 based on the expectation that the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) will cease to be published as of June 30, 2023. We applied the transition guidance to our two Term SOFR interest rate swap contracts this quarter and will apply the guidance when updating existing interest rate swap contracts to index to a replacement rate. There was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements in the periods presented.
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. We adopted the standard on July 1, 2022. We recognize freestanding equity-classified warrants on our consolidated balance sheet and as the standard is applied prospectively, there was no impact on our consolidated financial statements in the current period.
Issued Accounting Standards to be Adopted
In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)" (ASU 2022-04), which provides authoritative guidance for expanded disclosure requirements for supply chain finance programs. The standard is effective on July 1, 2023. Cimpress businesses have an active supply chain finance program which will require additional disclosure after adoption of this standard. We will include the expanded disclosure requirements starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

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:

The valuations of the derivatives intended to mitigate our interest rate and currency risk are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, interest rate volatility, or spot and forward exchange rates, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties' nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties' nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement. However, as of March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the carrying value of our debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts, was $ 1,710,187 and $ 1,705,365 , respectively, and the fair value was $ 1,624,353 and $ 1,600,627 , respectively. Our debt at March 31, 2023 includes variable-rate debt instruments indexed to LIBOR and Euribor 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 March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 our held-to-maturity marketable securities were held at an amortized cost of $ 74,771 and $ 49,952 , respectively, while the fair value was $ 74,262 and $ 49,406 , 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 a 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. We have designated one intercompany loan as a net investment hedge, and any unrealized currency gains and losses on the loan are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. 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, 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
14
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 March 31, 2023, we estimate that $ 6,830 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2023, we had sixteen effective outstanding interest rate swap contracts. Fourteen of our swaps are indexed to USD LIBOR, while the remaining two are indexed to Term SOFR. The transition relief guidance from ASC 848 was applied to designate the two Term SOFR swap contracts that we entered into during the current quarter for hedge accounting. After USD LIBOR sunsets on June 30, 2023, we may convert our contracts to index to Term SOFR, otherwise the contracts will be subject to the fallback language within our credit agreement.
Our interest rate swap contracts have varying start and maturity dates through April 2028.
Interest rate swap contracts outstanding: Notional Amounts
Contracts accruing interest as of March 31, 2023
$ 400,000
Contracts with a future start date 430,000
Total $ 830,000
Hedges of Currency Risk
Cross-Currency Swap Contracts
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 hedged currency in exchange for our reporting currency based on a contracted exchange rate. Subsequently, we receive fixed rate payments in our reporting currency in exchange for fixed rate payments in the hedged currency over the life of the contract. At maturity, the final exchange involves the receipt of our reporting currency in exchange for the notional amount in the hedged currency.
Cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges are executed to mitigate our currency exposure to the interest receipts as well as the principal remeasurement and repayment associated with certain intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2023, 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, net as interest payments are accrued or paid and upon remeasuring the intercompany loan. As of March 31, 2023, we estimate that $ 1,744 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending March 31, 2024.
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.
As of March 31, 2023, 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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we experienced volatility within other income, net, in our consolidated statements of operations from unrealized gains and losses on the mark-to-market of outstanding currency forward and option contracts. We expect this volatility to continue in future periods for contracts for which we do not apply hedge accounting. Additionally, since our hedging objectives may be targeted at non-GAAP
15
financial metrics that exclude non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, we may experience increased, not decreased, volatility in our GAAP results as a result of our currency hedging program.
As of March 31, 2023, we had the following outstanding currency derivative contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting and were primarily 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, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Krone, Philippine Peso, Swiss Franc and Swedish Krona:

Our various debt arrangements described below contain customary representations, warranties and events of default. As of March 31, 2023, 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.
LIBOR is expected to sunset on June 30, 2023, and under the terms of our Restated Credit Agreement our benchmark rate will automatically transition to Term SOFR.
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 March 31, 2023, we have borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement of $ 1,102,509 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 March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2023, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement was 6.94 %, 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 March 31, 2023.
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 March 31, 2023, we have not redeemed any of the 2026 Notes.
20
Other Debt
Other debt consists primarily of term loans acquired through our various acquisitions or used to fund certain capital investments. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, we had $ 7,678 and $ 8,063 , respectively, outstanding for those obligations that are payable through March 2027.
9. Income Taxes
Our income tax expense was $ 8,475 and $ 143,969 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, as compared to $ 29,529 and $ 56,208 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. Tax expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 versus the prior comparable period due to the partial valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $29,600 recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Tax expense increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 versus the prior comparable period due to the full valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $116,694 recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily related to Swiss tax reform benefits recognized in fiscal year 2020 and tax loss carryforwards. Management concluded that based on the current period results, that objective and verifiable negative evidence of recent losses in Switzerland outweighed more subjective positive evidence of anticipated future income. Excluding the effect of discrete tax adjustments, our estimated annual effective tax rate is lower for fiscal year 2023 as compared to fiscal year 2022 primarily due to a forecasted pre-tax loss. Our effective tax rate continues to be negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions where we are unable to recognize a tax benefit in the current period.
As of March 31, 2023 we had unrecognized tax benefits of $ 16,759 , including accrued interest and penalties of $ 1,803 . We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, $ 7,777 of unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our tax expense. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months in the range of $ 370 to $ 420 related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. We believe we have appropriately provided for all tax uncertainties.
We conduct business in a number of tax jurisdictions and, as such, are required to file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions globally. The years 2014 through 2022 remain open for examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the years 2015 through 2022 remain open for examination in the various states and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. We believe that our income tax reserves are adequately maintained taking into consideration both the technical merits of our tax return positions and ongoing developments in our income tax audits. However, the final determination of our tax return positions, if audited, is uncertain, and there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
10. 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 business management team own a minority portion of the equity. The put options for several of our noncontrolling interests were exercised during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 as summarized below. In addition to the noncontrolling interests described below, we also have several less significant minority interests that span multiple businesses and reportable segments.
PrintBrothers
Members of the PrintBrothers management team hold minority equity interests in several businesses within the reportable segment. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, put options were exercised by the minority interest holders for a portion of their equity interests that required us to purchase 10 % to 11 % in three of the respective businesses for a total of $ 90,841 . The exercise of the put options triggered a mandatory redemption feature for the remaining minority equity interests, which requires the purchase of the remaining 1% equity interests on the third anniversary of the put option exercise, absent the earlier exercise of a call option on the first and second anniversaries by Cimpress. The remaining noncontrolling interests are mandatorily redeemable, which required the reclassification of the remaining equity interests to a liability, which has been presented in other liabilities within our consolidated balance sheet.
21
The following table presents the reconciliation of changes in our noncontrolling interests:
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Noncontrolling Interest
Balance as of June 30, 2022 $ 131,483 $ —
Acquisition of noncontrolling interest (1) — 365
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 1,513 163
Distribution to noncontrolling interests (2) ( 3,652 ) —
Purchase of noncontrolling interest (3) ( 95,567 ) —
Accretion to redemption value (4) ( 7,455 ) —
Reclassification to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest (5) ( 9,582 ) —
Foreign currency translation ( 4,766 ) 14
Balance as of March 31, 2023 $ 11,974 $ 542
_________________
(1) During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we acquired a majority equity interest in an immaterial business within our PrintBrothers reportable segment.
(2) Distributions to noncontrolling interests include contractually required profit sharing payments made annually to the minority interest holders in one of the PrintBrothers businesses.
(3) As discussed above, we purchased an additional 10% to 11% of the equity interests in three PrintBrothers businesses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, as well as the 1% minority interest in our BuildASign business.
(4) Accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value recognized in retained earnings is the result of changes in the estimated redemption amount to the extent increases do not exceed the estimated fair value.
(5) During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the minority equity interest holders of three PrintBrothers businesses exercised a put option that triggered a mandatory redemption feature for the remaining minority equity interests. The remaining minority equity interests were reclassified to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests, as part of other liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. Refer above for additional information regarding the transaction and Note 7 for additional details about the reclassified liability balance.
11. Segment Information
Our operating segments are based upon the manner in which our operations are managed and the availability of separate financial information reported internally to the Chief Executive Officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance.
As of March 31, 2023, 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, Vista Corporate Solutions, and Depositphotos, which together represent a full-service design, digital and print solution.
• 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 two businesses grouped together based on materiality, as well as our YSD business through its divestiture that was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
◦ BuildASign, a larger and profitable business, is an internet-based provider of canvas-print wall décor, business signage and other large-format printed products.
◦ Printi, a smaller business that we continue to manage at a relatively modest operating loss, is an online printing leader in Brazil, which offers a superior customer experience with transparent and attractive pricing, reliable service and quality.
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
22
consolidation, internal audit and legal. These costs also include certain unallocated share-based compensation costs.
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.
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 revised our presentation of the prior period results to reflect our updated segment reporting, which decreased both Vista segment EBITDA and Central and corporate costs by $ 1,852 and $ 4,894 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022.
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) Excludes goodwill of $ 787,291 and $ 766,600 , intangible assets, net of $ 119,931 and $ 154,730 , deferred tax assets of $ 10,093 and $ 113,088 , and marketable securities, non-current of $ 6,466 and zero as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
(2) The decrease of the United States long-lived assets is primarily driven by the termination of our Waltham, MA lease in August 2022 that resulted in a reduction to the operating lease asset and related leasehold improvements.
(3) The decrease in Japan's long-lived assets is due to the planned sale of the land and building, which resulted in the reclassification of the carrying value to prepaid expenses and other current assets because it meets held-for-sale criteria during the current quarter. Refer to Note 13 for additional details.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
At March 31, 2023, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $ 205,973 , including third-party cloud services of $ 79,437 ; inventory, third-party fulfillment and digital service purchase commitments of $ 79,159 ; software of $ 16,870 ; advertising of $ 10,116 ; production and computer equipment purchases of $ 2,494 ; professional and consulting fees of $ 3,462 , and other unrecorded purchase commitments of $ 14,435 .
Other Obligations
In February 2023, we made a $ 6,785 deferred payment for our Depositphotos acquisition, resulting in no outstanding acquisition-related deferred liabilities as of March 31, 2023.
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
26
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.
13. Restructuring Charges
Restructuring costs include one-time employee termination benefits, acceleration of share-based compensation, write-off of assets, costs to exit loss-making operations, and other related costs including third-party professional and outplacement services. All restructuring costs are excluded from segment and adjusted EBITDA.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized restructuring charges of $ 30,115 and $ 43,142 , respectively. The majority of these costs related to actions taken in our Vista business and central teams during March 2023 that were intended to reduce costs and support expanded profitability, reduced leverage, and increased speed, focus and accountability. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the previously described action combined with prior actions taken to prioritize our investments and exit the Japanese market resulted in restructuring charges in our Vista business of $ 20,406 and $ 29,128 , and in our central and corporate costs of $ 9,075 and $ 9,330 , respectively.
Most of these costs related to employee termination benefits, and, to a lesser extent, share-based compensation expense for the accelerated vesting of equity awards as well as third-party consulting costs. A portion of the restructuring charge included the impairment of assets from our exit of the Japanese market of $ 6,257 . We expect additional restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 for termination benefits that included ongoing service requirements, but we do not expect those charges to be material.
We also recognized restructuring charges in our National Pen business for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 in the amounts of $ 639 and $ 1,127 , respectively, which included employee termination benefits for previously announced actions to exit the Japanese market and to migrate our European production operations from Ireland to the Czech Republic. Additionally, we recognized restructuring costs of $ 3,556 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 in our All Other Businesses reportable segment for our previously announced exit from the Chinese market, which included employee termination benefits and the write-off of certain assets. We do not expect any additional charges for these restructuring actions.
The following table summarizes the restructuring activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2023.
Severance and Related Benefits Other Restructuring Costs Accrued restructuring liability
Balance as of June 30, 2022 $ 13,449 $ — $ 13,449

Balance as of March 31, 2023 $ 28,728 $ — $ 28,728
________________
(1) During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, non-cash restructuring charges primarily includes the loss recorded on assets for our Japan and China exits as described above, and share-based compensation expense upon modification to accelerate the vesting of share-based compensation awards for the actions described above.
