Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data CIMPRESS PLC INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID No. 238 ) 46 Consolidated Balance Sheets 48 Consolidated Statements of Operations 49 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) 50 Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Deficit 51 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 54 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 56 45 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cimpress plc 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, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of shareholders' deficit and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024, 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, 2024, 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, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024 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, 2024, 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 46 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 Assessment of the BuildASign Reporting Unit As described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance was $787 million as of June 30, 2024, of which a portion relates to the BuildASign reporting unit ("the reporting unit"). Management performed a quantitative impairment assessment of the reporting unit as of the annual goodwill impairment test date of May 31. Management concluded that sufficient headroom between the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and the related carrying value existed and that no goodwill impairment was identified. Management used the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method, to derive the fair value of the reporting unit. This approach calculates fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to 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 assessment of the BuildASign reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the reporting unit; (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 and operating margins; 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 assessment, including controls over the valuation of the reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the reporting unit; (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 and operating margins. 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 unit, 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 the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow method. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Boston, Massachusetts

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. 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 $ 563 and $ 558 as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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. 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. 56 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, 2024, 2023, and 2022. 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 years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $ 62,590 , $ 57,086 , and $ 54,646 , respectively, resulting in accumulated amortization of $ 286,605 and $ 279,490 at June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 is 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. 57 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. 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. We recognized no goodwill impairment charges during the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2022. For the year ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $ 5,609 . The charge is a partial impairment of the goodwill for one of our reporting units within our All Other Businesses reportable segment. There were no impairments identified for any other reporting units. Refer to Note 8 for additional details regarding the annual goodwill impairment test. 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 58 noncontrolling interests are presented as liability-based financial instruments and are re-measured on a recurring basis to the expected redemption value. 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 lender 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. The portion of gain or loss on the derivative instrument previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss 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 as part of currency translation adjustment. The portion of gain or loss on the derivative instrument previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss 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 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. 59 Shareholders' Deficit Ordinary and Treasury Shares Treasury shares are accounted for using the cost method and are included as a component of shareholders' equity. Our various share-based compensation programs entitle recipients to receive issuances of Cimpress ordinary shares upon the vesting of awards which meet applicable performance criteria. Prior to fiscal year 2023, 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 in conjunction with these programs, we determined the cost using the average cost method. Starting in fiscal year 2023, we issued new ordinary shares to meet the needs of our share-based compensation programs. We have retired ordinary shares from time to time. Upon retirement, these shares become classified as authorized and unissued shares. The retirement of ordinary shares are accounted for as a reduction to the nominal value of our ordinary shares outstanding and additional paid in capital in proportion to the amount of total shares outstanding, with the remaining repurchase value recognized as a reduction to retained earnings. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss 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 is composed of net loss, unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, unrealized gains and losses on pension benefit obligation, and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments, which are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. 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 60 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. We record revenue net of taxes collected from customers that are remitted to governmental authorities. 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 the majority of our deferred revenue balance as revenue within three months subsequent to June 30, 2024. 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 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, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $ 436,494 , $ 417,886 , and $ 408,566 , 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, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $ 62,655 , $ 58,819 , and $ 56,996 , respectively, which consisted of costs related to enhancing our manufacturing engineering and technology capabilities. 61 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 may 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 loss are released on an item-by-item basis based on when the applicable derivative is recognized in earnings. 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, net in our consolidated statements of operations. Other Income, Net The following table summarizes the components of other income, net. Year Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2022 Gains on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments (1) $ 3,915 $ 3,311 $ 58,148 Currency-related (losses) gains, net (2) ( 2,818 ) 16,350 244 Other gains (losses) 486 ( 1,163 ) 3,071 Total other income, net $ 1,583 $ 18,498 $ 61,463 _____________________ (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 (losses) gains of ($ 1,078 ), $ 39,133 and $ 9,955 , respectively, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022. 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, during all fiscal years presented, we had 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. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Cimpress plc Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to Cimpress plc is computed by dividing net income (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. 62 The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted-average number of ordinary shares. Year Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2022 Weighted average shares outstanding, basic 26,151,968 26,252,860 26,094,842 Weighted average shares issuable upon exercise/vesting of outstanding share options/RSUs/PSUs/warrants (1) 852,719 — — Shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Cimpress plc 27,004,687 26,252,860 26,094,842 Weighted average anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Cimpress plc (1)(2) 96,207 2,834,351 762,086 ___________________ (1) In the periods in which a net loss is recognized, the impact of share options, PSUs, RSUs and warrants is excluded from shares used in computed diluted net income (loss) per share as it is anti-dilutive. Any equity awards that have a performance condition are not included in dilutive or anti-dilutive shares until the performance condition would have been met as of the end of the reporting period. (2) On May 1, 2020, we entered into a financing arrangement, which included 7-year warrants to purchase 1,055,377 of our ordinary shares with a strike price of $ 60 that have a potentially dilutive impact on our weighted average shares outstanding. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2022, the average market price of our ordinary shares was higher than the strike price of the warrants. The weighted average dilutive effect of the warrants was 220,668 for the year ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended June 30, 2022, due to our net loss position, 138,088 outstanding warrants were considered anti-dilutive. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the average share price was below the strike price for the full fiscal year; therefore, the total 1,055,377 outstanding warrants were considered anti-dilutive. 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. 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 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. We have issued PSUs that include a service condition as well as a market or performance condition, and we calculate the fair value at grant, which is fixed throughout the vesting period. For PSUs that include a market condition, the fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and the expense recognized over the requisite service period will not be reversed if the market condition is not achieved. For PSUs that include a performance condition, compensation cost is recorded if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The fair value is determined based on the quoted price of our ordinary shares on the date of the grant and our estimated attainment percentage of the related performance 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. Until the performance condition is measured, changes in the estimated attainment percentages may cause expense volatility since a cumulative expense adjustment will be recognized in the period a change occurs. 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, 2024 and 2023. We do not have any customers that accounted for greater than 10% of our revenue for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022. 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. 63 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. 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, we have leases in which we are the lessees and we classify the leases as finance leases which have been subleased under similar terms, resulting in the sublease 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. 64 Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Supply Chain Finance Programs In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" (ASU 2022-04), which provides authoritative guidance about expanded disclosure requirements for supply chain finance programs. The new standard requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supply chain finance programs and a rollforward of the related amounts due to suppliers participating in these programs. The adoption of the new disclosure requirements was effective during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, except for a rollforward of activity within supply chain finance programs, which is effective as part of our annual disclosures for fiscal year 2025. The adoption of the new standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 17 for additional required disclosure. Accounting Standards to be Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" (ASU 2023-09), which provides authoritative guidance about expanded annual disclosure requirements for the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The expanded disclosure requirements will be effective starting with our annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, but we do not intend to early adopt this standard. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" (ASU 2023-07), which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and introduces a reconciliation between segment revenue and segment profitability metrics. The expanded disclosure requirements will be effective starting with our annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, as well as each interim period thereafter. Early adoption is permitted, but we do not intend to early adopt this standard. 3. Fair Value Measurements We use a three-level valuation hierarchy for measuring fair value and include detailed financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows: • Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. • Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities that are 65 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 risks 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, 2024, 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. 66 Our held-to-maturity marketable securities are recognized at an amortized cost. 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, 2024 and 2023. The fair value was determined using quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, which fall into Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy. June 30, 2024 Amortized cost Unrealized losses Fair value Due within one year or less: Corporate debt securities $ 1,500 $ ( 1 ) $ 1,499 U.S. government securities 3,000 ( 4 ) 2,996 Total held-to-maturity securities $ 4,500 $ ( 5 ) $ 4,495 June 30, 2023 Amortized cost Unrealized losses Fair value Due within one year or less: Commercial paper $ 15,982 $ ( 10 ) $ 15,972 Corporate debt securities 16,298 ( 190 ) 16,108 U.S. government securities 6,260 ( 69 ) 6,191 Total due within one year or less 38,540 ( 269 ) 38,271 Due between one and two years: Corporate debt securities 1,498 ( 35 ) 1,463 U.S. government securities 2,999 ( 66 ) 2,933 Total due between one and two years 4,497 ( 101 ) 4,396 Total held-to-maturity securities $ 43,037 $ ( 370 ) $ 42,667 As of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, 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, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the carrying value of our debt, excluding debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts, was $ 1,616,607 and $ 1,653,989 , respectively, and the fair value was $ 1,617,364 and $ 1,604,190 , respectively. Our debt at June 30, 2024 includes variable-rate debt instruments indexed to Term SOFR and Euribor that reset 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. 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. 67 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, 2024, we estimate that $ 4,394 of income will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net during the twelve months ending June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2024, we had ten effective outstanding interest rate swap contracts that were indexed to Term or Daily SOFR. 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 June 30, 2024 (1) $ 215,000 Contracts with a future start date 430,000 Total $ 645,000 ________________________ (1) Based on contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2024, the notional value of our contracted interest rate swaps accruing interest will fluctuate between $215,000 and $380,000 through April 2028 based on layered start dates and maturities. Hedges of Currency Risk Cross-Currency Swap Contracts We execute cross-currency swap contracts designated as net investment hedges or cash flow 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 net investment hedges are executed to mitigate our currency exposure of net investments in subsidiaries that have reporting currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As of June 30, 2024, we had one outstanding cross-currency swap contract designated as a net investment hedge with a total notional amount of $ 264,851 , maturing during June 2028. We entered into the cross-currency swap contract to hedge the risk of changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent value of a portion of our net investment in a consolidated subsidiary that has the Euro as its functional currency. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized as a component of our cumulative translation adjustment. 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. We did not have any outstanding cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, we have one intercompany loan designated as a net investment hedge with a total notional amount of $ 49,723 that matures in May 2028. 68 We have elected to not apply hedge accounting for all other currency forward and option contracts. During the years ended June 30, 2024, 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 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. In most cases, we enter into these currency derivative contracts, for which we do not apply hedge accounting, in order to address the risk for certain currencies where we have a net exposure to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial metric. Adjusted EBITDA exposures are our focus for the majority of our mark-to-market currency forward and option contracts because a similar metric is referenced within the debt covenants of our amended and restated senior secured credit agreement (refer to Note 10 for additional information about this agreement). Our most significant net currency exposures by volume are the Euro and the British Pound (GBP). Our adjusted EBITDA hedging approach results in addressing nearly all of our forecasted Euro and GBP net exposures for the upcoming twelve months, with a declining hedged percentage out to twenty-four months. For certain other currencies with a smaller net impact, we hedge nearly all of our forecasted net exposures for the upcoming six months, with a declining hedge percentage out to fifteen months. As of June 30, 2024, 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, Canadian Dollar, Czech Koruna, Danish Krone, Euro, GBP, Indian Rupee, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Krone, Philippine Peso, Swiss Franc and Swedish Krona: Notional Amount Effective Date Maturity Date Number of Instruments Index $ 807,143 September 2022 through June 2024 Various dates through June 2026 682 Various Financial Instrument Presentation The table below presents the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

This was corrected in the current period resulting in an increase to foreign currency translation gains (losses), net of hedges included as part of comprehensive income (loss) and an offsetting decrease to the related deferred tax liability of $12,702. This adjustment was immaterial to the prior- and current-period financial statements. 71 The following table presents reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Business Combinations There were no material acquisitions during the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Fiscal Year 2022 Acquisitions 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. The deferred payments were made in two installments, including the payment of $ 609 during fiscal year 2022 and a final deferred payment of $ 6,875 that was made during fiscal year 2023. 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. 74 The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was: Amount Weighted Average Useful Life in Years Tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,173 n/a Accounts receivable, net 329 n/a Prepaid expenses and other current assets 448 n/a Property, plant and equipment, net 611 n/a Operating lease assets, net 383 n/a Other assets 324 n/a Accounts payable ( 843 ) n/a Accrued expenses ( 5,009 ) n/a Deferred revenue ( 10,999 ) n/a Operating lease liabilities, current ( 152 ) n/a Deferred tax liabilities ( 4,402 ) n/a Operating lease liabilities, non-current ( 231 ) n/a Identifiable intangible assets: Customer relationships 11,600 4 years Trade name 2,500 10 years Developed technology 2,300 2 years Owned content 7,700 10 years Goodwill 73,168 n/a Total purchase price $ 84,900 n/a 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. 8. Goodwill The carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows: Vista PrintBrothers The Print Group All Other Businesses Total Balance as of June 30, 2022 $ 291,498 $ 130,828 $ 143,969 $ 200,305 $ 766,600 Acquisitions (1) — 4,724 — — 4,724 Impairment (2) — — — ( 5,609 ) ( 5,609 ) Adjustments — — — 225 225 Effect of currency translation adjustments (3) 4,233 5,540 5,828 — 15,601 Balance as of June 30, 2023 295,731 141,092 149,797 194,921 781,541 Acquisitions (1) — 2,701 — — 2,701 Adjustments (4) — 7,319 — — 7,319 Effect of currency translation adjustments (3) ( 446 ) ( 1,868 ) ( 2,109 ) — ( 4,423 ) Balance as of June 30, 2024 $ 295,285 $ 149,244 $ 147,688 $ 194,921 $ 787,138 ________________________ (1) In fiscal years 2024 and 2023, we acquired two immaterial businesses that are included in our PrintBrothers reportable segment, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $$ 2,701 and $ 4,724 , respectively. (2) During fiscal year 2023, we recorded an impairment charge of $ 5,609 , related to one of our small reporting units acquired in fiscal year 2021 that is part of our All Other Businesses reportable segment. 75 (3) Related to goodwill held by subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. (4) During fiscal year 2024, we identified an immaterial error in the initial purchase accounting related to the noncontrolling interest of a previously acquired business. This was corrected in the current period resulting in an increase to goodwill and noncontrolling interest of $ 7,319 . This adjustment was immaterial to the prior- and current-period financial statements. Refer to Note 14 for additional information. Annual Impairment Review Fiscal year 2024 Our goodwill accounting policy establishes an annual goodwill impairment test date of May 31. We identified eight reporting units with goodwill individually. We considered the timing of our most recent fair value assessments, associated headroom, actual operating results as compared to the forecasts used to assess fair value, the current long-term forecasts for each reporting unit, and the general economic environment of each reporting unit. After performing this qualitative assessment, we determined that there was no indication the carrying values for six of these reporting units exceeded their respective fair values. For each of the two remaining reporting units, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test that compared the estimated fair value to carrying value. We used the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method, to derive the fair value. 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. As required, prior to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test for the two reporting units mentioned above, we first evaluated the recoverability of long-lived assets and concluded that no impairment of long-lived assets existed. The quantitative tests were performed for Exaprint, which is part of The Print Group reportable segment, and BuildASign, which is included in the All Other Businesses reportable segment. For both reporting units, we concluded that sufficient headroom between the estimated fair value and carrying value existed and that no goodwill impairment was identified. There were no events that caused us to update our annual impairment test. Fiscal year 2023 For our annual goodwill impairment test date of May 31, 2023, we determined that there was no indication the carrying values for nine of our ten reporting units exceeded their respective fair values. For the one remaining reporting unit, which is included in our All Other Businesses reportable segment, we concluded that an impairment existed, driven in part by recent declines in revenue growth rates and lower near-term cash flow forecasts. We recognized an impairment charge of $ 5,609 , using a WACC of 17.0 %, resulting in a post-impairment goodwill balance of $ 8,824 at June 30, 2023.

Our various debt arrangements described below contain customary representations, warranties, and events of default. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants in our debt contracts, including those under our Restated Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our 2026 Notes. Senior Secured Credit Facility On May 15, 2024, we amended our Restated Credit Agreement to refinance our Term Loan B, which consists of a tranche denominated in U.S. dollars ("USD Tranche") and a tranche denominated in Euros ("Euro Tranche"). The amendment refinanced the entire USD Tranche and the majority of the Euro Tranche as follows: • reduced the interest rate margin of the USD Tranche by 50 basis points, from Term SOFR plus 3.50 % to Term SOFR plus 3.00 %, and eliminated the credit spread adjustment for the USD Tranche, which was previously approximately 11 basis points, and • increased the size of the new USD Tranche by $ 264,361 , the proceeds of which were used to prepay € 245,346 of the aggregate principal amount of the Euro Tranche. After these changes, our Term Loan B consists of a USD Tranche with an aggregate principal amount of $ 1,037,498 and a Euro Tranche with an aggregate principal amount of € 46,404 . No other material changes were made to the terms of the Term Loan B or the Restated Credit Agreement, and the maturity date of the Term Loan B is still May 17, 2028. As a result of this refinancing transaction, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt amounting to $ 2,387 , which consisted of a $ 2,236 non-cash write-off of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing fees associated with prepaying the Euro Tranche as well as an immaterial amount of third-party legal fees that were associated with the modification of our debt and were expensed as incurred. Our Restated Credit Agreement consists of the following as of June 30, 2024: • a $ 1,034,904 USD Tranche that bears interest at Term SOFR (with a Term SOFR rate floor of 0.50 %) plus 3.00 %, • a € 46,404 (U.S. dollar equivalent of $ 49,723 ) Euro Tranche that currently 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”), with no outstanding borrowings for any periods presented. ◦ Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment as defined by our Restated Credit Agreement (with an Adjusted Term SOFR rate 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, 78 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, 2024, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement was 7.77 %, 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. Senior Unsecured Notes As of June 30, 2024, we have $ 522,135 in aggregate principal outstanding of our 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. During the year ended June 30, 2024, we purchased an aggregate principal amount of $ 26,165 for a purchase price of $ 24,471 , as well as the related settlement of unpaid interest, and we recognized gains on the extinguishment of debt of $ 1,721 . 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, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we had $ 9,845 and $ 7,076 , respectively, outstanding for those obligations that are payable through September 2027. 11. Shareholders' Deficit Warrants In conjunction with our issuance of our 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 in fiscal year 2020, which we subsequently redeemed in fiscal year 2021, 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 at the time of issuance. The warrants, which currently remain outstanding, 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. 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 5,500,000 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. 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. 79 As of June 30, 2024, 1,090,723 ordinary shares were available for future awards under our 2020 Plan. For PSUs, we assumed that we would issue the maximum potential ordinary shares based on the terms described below. Performance share units During the current fiscal year, we issued PSUs (the "2024 PSUs") as part of our long-term incentive program. The 2024 PSUs include both a service and performance condition. The performance condition for these awards is based on one-year financial targets for fiscal year 2024 revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and unlevered free cash flow. Actual shares issued for each grant will range from 0% to 160% of the number of 2024 PSUs granted based on the attainment of the performance condition. The final measurement of the performance condition will occur during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. For all other outstanding PSUs, these awards entitle the recipient to receive Cimpress ordinary shares between 0 % and 250 % of the number of units, based upon service vesting requirements and the achievement of a compounded annual growth rate target based on Cimpress' three-year moving average share price. PSU awards with a grant date prior to fiscal year 2020 and PSU awards granted before fiscal year 2024 to our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors are assessed annually in years 6 - 10 following the grant date and awards with a grant date in or after fiscal year 2020 and before fiscal year 2024 (other than to the CEO and Board) will be assessed annually in years 4 - 8 following the grant date. A summary of our PSU activity and related information for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 is as follows: PSUs Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at the beginning of the period 1,401,744 $ 124.46 Granted 544,120 70.21 Vested and distributed — — Forfeited ( 11,011 ) 76.03 Outstanding at the end of the period 1,934,853 $ 109.48 $ 169,512 The weighted average fair value of PSUs granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $ 70.21 , $ 17.61 , and $ 110.28 , respectively. The total intrinsic value of PSUs outstanding as of June 30 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $ 169,512 , $ 83,376 , and $ 52,875 , respectively. The total intrinsic value of PSUs assumes that the performance condition is met at target; however, it is possible that a portion or all of these PSUs granted before fiscal year 2024 will not achieve the associated performance condition. As of June 30, 2024, 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 4,356,251 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, 2024 is as follows: RSUs Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Aggregate Intrinsic Value Unvested at the beginning of the period 1,470,293 $ 59.27 Granted 344,268 71.42 Vested and distributed ( 629,381 ) 60.11 Forfeited ( 81,467 ) 59.11 Unvested at the end of the period 1,103,713 $ 62.59 $ 96,696 80 The weighted average fair value of RSUs granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $ 71.42 , $ 44.25 , and $ 80.26 , respectively. The total intrinsic value of RSUs vested during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $ 47,661 , $ 13,544 , and $ 10,123 , respectively. Share options We have 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. 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. We value share options with a market condition 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 years 2024 or 2022. Weighted-average values used for option awards in fiscal year 2023 were as follows: Year Ended June 30, 2023 Risk-free interest rate 3.06 % Expected dividend yield — % Expected term (years) 4.01 Expected volatility 61.99 % Weighted average fair value of options granted $ 22.83 A summary of our share option activity and related information for the year ended June 30, 2024 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 387,447 $ 46.37 9.0 $ 5,189 Granted — Exercised ( 45,500 ) 46.20 Forfeited/expired ( 3,354 ) 46.20 Outstanding at the end of the period 338,593 46.39 7.3 $ 13,956 Exercisable at the end of the period 148,393 $ 47.17 7.0 $ 6,002 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, 2024. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 1,816 and $ 41 , respectively, while no options were exercised during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Share-based compensation Total share-based compensation costs were $ 65,584 , $ 42,122 , and $ 49,766 for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and we recognize the impact of forfeitures as they occur. Share-based compensation costs capitalized as part of software and website development costs were $ 3,160 , $ 1,879 , and $ 1,221 for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, there was $ 84,653 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 1.9 years. 81 Purchase and retirement of ordinary shares During the year ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 1,723,393 of our ordinary shares for $ 156,982 . The shares were immediately retired after repurchase and therefore have been classified as authorized and unissued shares as of June 30, 2024. The retirement of the repurchased ordinary shares resulted in the reduction in ordinary shares of $ 19 , as well as a reduction to additional paid in capital and retained earnings of $ 21,890 and $ 135,073 , respectively. 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. We expensed $ 17,100 , $ 16,061 , and $ 16,157 for our government-mandated and defined contribution plans in the years ended June 30 2024, 2023, and 2022, 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 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, 2024 and 2023, the plan had an unfunded net pension obligation of approximately $ 1,426 and $ 1,134 , respectively, and plan assets, which totaled approximately $ 5,800 and $ 5,497 , respectively. For the years ended June 30 2024, 2023, and 2022 we recognized expense totaling $ 438 , $ 282 , and $ 537 , respectively, related to our Swiss plan. 13. Income Taxes The following is a summary of our income (loss) before income taxes by geography: Year Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2022 U.S. $ ( 23,708 ) $ ( 35,508 ) $ ( 7,299 ) Non-U.S. 152,154 5,286 16,630 Total $ 128,446 $ ( 30,222 ) $ 9,331 82 The components of the (benefit) provision for income taxes are as follows: Year Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2022 Current: U.S. Federal $ ( 307 ) $ 1,634 $ 526 U.S. State 670 769 568 Non-U.S. 42,458 39,792 36,932 Total current 42,821 42,195 38,026 Deferred: U.S. Federal 825 3,522 ( 3,566 ) U.S. State ( 4 ) 465 12 Non-U.S. ( 93,004 ) 109,311 25,429 Total deferred ( 92,183 ) 113,298 21,875 Total $ ( 49,362 ) $ 155,493 $ 59,901 The following is a reconciliation of the standard U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate: Year Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2022 U.S. federal statutory income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State taxes, net of federal effect ( 1.1 ) 3.7 ( 11.1 ) Tax rate differential on non-U.S. earnings 5.9 ( 52.5 ) 97.1 Change in valuation allowance ( 47.9 ) ( 457.2 ) 363.7 Nondeductible interest expense 5.6 ( 30.2 ) 52.7 Change in entity status — 4.0 — Compensation related items 0.6 ( 13.7 ) 21.9 Goodwill impairment — ( 4.1 ) — Irish foreign tax credit ( 24.8 ) 21.4 ( 46.8 ) Tax on repatriated earnings 6.1 ( 15.0 ) 39.2 Gain on the extinguishment of debt ( 0.2 ) 2.8 — Notional interest deduction (Italy) ( 0.6 ) 2.6 ( 8.8 ) Patent box (Italy) ( 0.3 ) ( 1.5 ) ( 12.0 ) Tax credits and incentives ( 3.1 ) 24.1 ( 23.7 ) Non-U.S. tax rate changes ( 0.1 ) ( 1.1 ) 57.6 Irish tax restructuring — — ( 13.4 ) U.S. global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) 0.1 — 10.2 U.S. foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) ( 1.0 ) 2.7 ( 6.8 ) U.S. base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT) 0.1 ( 2.1 ) — Net tax benefit on intellectual property transfer — 1.0 ( 10.4 ) Tax loss carryforward expirations 0.4 ( 5.1 ) 4.8 Business and withholding taxes 0.9 ( 1.2 ) 5.1 Uncertain tax positions 0.1 ( 10.5 ) 35.9 Other non-deductible expenses 1.4 ( 6.0 ) 7.1 Tax on unremitted earnings 0.6 ( 1.6 ) 0.1 Changes to derivative instruments ( 2.1 ) 3.1 73.5 Other — 0.9 ( 14.9 ) Effective income tax rate ( 38.4 ) % ( 514.5 ) % 642.0 % 83 For the year ended June 30, 2024, our effective tax rate was below our U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the partial release of the valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $ 105,765 related to Swiss tax reform benefits recognized in fiscal year 2020 and Swiss tax loss carryforwards. After considering all available evidence, including the recent history of strong earnings from core operations in Switzerland and the expectation of future taxable income, management concluded it is more likely than not that the recognized deferred tax assets are realizable and reduced the valuation allowance accordingly. In addition, we had non-deductible interest expense and losses in certain jurisdictions for which we cannot recognize a tax benefit. The jurisdictions that have the most significant impact to our non-U.S. tax provision include Canada, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland. The applicable tax rates in these jurisdictions range from 11 % 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, 2024, our effective tax rate was ( 38.4 )% as compared to the prior year effective tax rate of ( 514.5 )%. The increase in our effective tax rate as compared to the prior year is primarily due pre-tax income for the year ended June 30, 2024 as compared to a pre-tax loss for the year ended June 30, 2023. During the year ended June 30, 2024 we recognized a tax benefit of $ 105,765 on the partial release of the valuation allowance in Switzerland as compared to tax expense of $ 116,694 in the year ended June 30, 2023 to increase the valuation allowance in Switzerland. Our fiscal year 2023 effective tax rate was lower than fiscal year 2022 primarily due to increasing the valuation allowance in Switzerland year over year. Significant components of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following at June 30, 2024 and 2023: June 30, 2024 June 30, 2023 Deferred tax assets: Swiss tax-amortizable goodwill $ 130,985 $ 131,472 Net operating loss carryforwards 66,572 75,643 Leases 28,661 30,364 Depreciation and amortization 4,765 8,289 Accrued expenses 15,572 15,335 Share-based compensation 19,530 16,920 Tax credit and other carryforwards 69,644 45,574 U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 174 capitalization 6,253 2,468 Interest limitation carryforwards 23,291 13,216 Other 1,520 2,000 Subtotal 366,793 341,282 Valuation allowance ( 211,655 ) ( 277,976 ) Total deferred tax assets 155,138 63,306 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization ( 37,432 ) ( 37,572 ) Leases ( 24,797 ) ( 27,392 ) Tax on unremitted earnings ( 7,984 ) ( 7,221 ) Derivative financial instruments ( 4,250 ) ( 17,091 ) Other ( 10,317 ) ( 8,641 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 84,780 ) ( 97,917 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 70,358 $ ( 34,611 ) 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 decrease in the valuation allowance from the prior year relates primarily to the partial release of the Swiss valuation allowance offset by increased Irish foreign tax credit carryforwards of $ 23,939 and tax-effected interest limitation carryforwards of $ 10,239 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. 84 We have recorded a partial valuation allowance of $ 46,270 against the Swiss tax-amortizable goodwill deferred tax assets, which we can only benefit from during calendar year 2025 through calendar year 2029 under our Swiss tax ruling. In addition, we have recorded valuation allowances of $ 52,596 , $ 28,727 , $ 5,173 , and $ 17,053 against deferred tax assets related to net operating losses in certain jurisdictions (mainly Australia, Brazil, Cyprus, France, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom), 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. Based on the weight of available evidence at June 30, 2024, 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, 2024 is as follows: Balance at June 30, 2023 $ 277,976 Charges to earnings (1) ( 61,566 ) Charges to other accounts (2) ( 4,755 ) Balance at June 30, 2024 $ 211,655 _________________ (1) Amount is primarily related to the partial release of the Swiss valuation allowance, offset by increased Irish foreign tax credits and tax-effected interest limitation carryforwards. (2) Amount is primarily related to decreased 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, 2024, we had gross apportioned state net operating losses of $ 29,650 , that expire on various dates from fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2044 or with unlimited carryforward. We also had gross non-U.S. net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards of $ 392,314 , a significant amount of which begin to expire in fiscal year 2025, with the remaining amounts expiring on various dates through fiscal year 2035 or having unlimited carryforward. In addition, we had $ 33,925 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 having unlimited carryforward. We also had $ 22,778 and $ 6,841 of U.S. federal and apportioned U.S. state capital loss carryforwards, respectively, that expire in fiscal years 2025 through 2027. Lastly, we had $ 36,474 of Irish foreign tax credits with unlimited carryforward. The benefits of these carryforwards are dependent upon the generation of taxable income in the jurisdictions in which 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, 2024, no tax provision has been made for $ 79,252 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 $ 16,500 to $ 17,500 at that time. A cumulative deferred tax liability of $ 7,984 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. 85 A reconciliation of the gross beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: 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 Additions based on tax positions related to the current tax year 2,167 Additions based on tax positions related to prior tax years 770 Reductions based on tax positions related to prior tax years ( 62 ) Reductions due to audit settlements — Reductions due to lapse of statute of limitations ( 225 ) Cumulative translation adjustment ( 22 ) Balance June 30, 2023 15,624 Additions based on tax positions related to the current tax year 450 Additions based on tax positions related to prior tax years 405 Reductions based on tax positions related to prior tax years ( 527 ) Reductions due to audit settlements ( 264 ) Reductions due to lapse of statute of limitations ( 1,021 ) Cumulative translation adjustment ( 13 ) Balance June 30, 2024 $ 14,654 For the year ended June 30, 2024, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits (exclusive of interest) that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate is $ 7,527 . We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The interest and penalties recognized as of years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022 were $ 2,394 , $ 1,924 , and $ 1,383 , respectively. It is reasonably possible that a further change in unrecognized tax benefits in the range of 7,500 to 8,500 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 2024 remain open for examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service and the years 2015 through 2024 remain open for examination in the various states and non-U.S. 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 business management team own a minority portion of the equity. These noncontrolling interests span multiple businesses and reportable segments. 86 PrintBrothers Members of the PrintBrothers management team hold minority equity interests in several businesses within the reportable segment. During 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 or second anniversaries by Cimpress. The remaining noncontrolling interests are mandatorily redeemable, which required the reclassification of the remaining equity interests to a liability, which was presented in other liabilities within our consolidated balance sheet. 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 — 365 Accretion to redemption value (1) ( 7,236 ) — Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 180 83 Distribution to noncontrolling interests (2) ( 3,652 ) — Purchase of noncontrolling interest (3) ( 95,567 ) — Reclassification to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest (3) ( 9,582 ) — Foreign currency translation ( 4,733 ) 11 Balance as of June 30, 2023 10,893 459 Accretion to redemption value recognized in retained earnings (1) 1,124 — Accretion to redemption value recognized in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (1) 2,907 — Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 1,035 184 Distribution to noncontrolling interests (2) ( 200 ) — Purchase of noncontrolling interest ( 65 ) — Other adjustments (4) 7,319 — Foreign currency translation ( 15 ) ( 9 ) Balance as of June 30, 2024 $ 22,998 $ 634 _________________ (1) 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. Any change in the estimated redemption amount which exceeds the estimated fair value is recognized within net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. (2) Distributions to noncontrolling interests include contractually required profit sharing payments made annually to the minority interest holders in one of the PrintBrothers businesses. The distributions were lower in fiscal year 2024, as compared to fiscal year 2023, due to the lower outstanding minority equity interest in our Printbrothers business. (3) We purchased 10% to 11% of the equity interests in three PrintBrothers businesses during fiscal year 2023, as well as the 1% minority interest in our BuildASign business. Additionally, 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. (4) During fiscal year 2024, we identified an immaterial error in the initial purchase accounting related to the noncontrolling interest of a previously acquired business. This was corrected in the current period resulting in an increase to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $ 7,319 . This adjustment was immaterial to the prior and current period financial statements. 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, 2024, 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. 87 • PrintBrothers - Includes the results of druck.at, Printdeal, and WIRmachenDRUCK, a group of Upload & Print businesses that serve graphic professionals throughout Europe, primarily in Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. • The Print Group - Includes the results of Easyflyer, Exaprint, Packstyle, Pixartprinting, and Tradeprint, a group of Upload & Print businesses that serve graphic professionals throughout Europe, primarily in France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. • 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. ◦ BuildASign is a 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. 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 tax, treasury, internal audit, legal, sustainability, corporate communications, remote first enablement, consolidated reporting and compliance, investor relations, capital allocation, and the functions of our CEO and CFO. These costs also include certain unallocated share-based compensation costs. In order to ensure comparability in measuring our businesses' results, we allocate the straight-line portion of the fixed grant value of PSU awards to our businesses. The expense value for some of our PSU awards is based on a Monte Carlo fair value analysis, while others include a performance condition that influence the amount and timing of expense recognized for the related PSU award. The difference between the straight-line portion of the fixed grant value and the expense recognized (as a result of the fair value measurement, the related performance condition 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. 88 Year Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2022 Revenue: Vista $ 1,741,600 $ 1,613,887 $ 1,514,909 PrintBrothers 638,036 578,431 526,952 The Print Group 358,918 346,949 329,590 National Pen 391,192 366,294 341,832 All Other Businesses 215,807 213,455 205,862 Total segment revenue 3,345,553 3,119,016 2,919,145 Inter-segment eliminations (1) ( 53,697 ) ( 39,389 ) ( 31,590 ) Total consolidated revenue $ 3,291,856 $ 3,079,627 $ 2,887,555 _____________________ (1) Refer to the "Revenue by Geographic Region" tables below for detail of the inter-segment revenue within each respective segment.

(2) The decrease in Jamaica's long-lived assets is due to the sale of an owned customer service facility during fiscal year 2024. 16. Leases We lease certain machinery and plant equipment, office space, and production and warehouse facilities under non-cancelable operating leases that expire on various dates through 2037. Our finance leases primarily relate to machinery and plant equipment. Over the past three years, we continually assessed our leased real estate footprint as a facet of our evolving remote-first operating model for many of our employees, which resulted in a decrease to our leased real estate portfolio over this period of time. The following table presents the classification of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The purchase option exercise was presented as a financing activity on our consolidated statement of cash flows while the sale of the facility was presented as an investing activity. We recognized a $ 3,324 gain on the sale within general and administrative expense on our consolidated statement of operations as the sale price exceeded the prior impaired carrying value of the asset. 17. Commitments and Contingencies Debt The required principal payments due during the next five fiscal years and thereafter under our outstanding long-term debt obligations at June 30, 2024 are as follows: 2025 $ 15,980 2026 535,408 2027 12,866 2028 1,052,353 2029 — Total $ 1,616,607 Supply Chain Finance Programs We facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program through a financial intermediary, which provides certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediary earlier than the due date of the applicable invoice. The decision to sell receivables due from us is at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institution. Our responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with each supplier, regardless of whether a supplier participates in the program. We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial institution and the suppliers in connection with the program, we do not receive financial incentives from the suppliers or the financial institution, nor do we reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur for participating in the program. There are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the financial institution. All unpaid obligations to our supply chain finance provider are included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets, and payments we make under the program are reflected as a reduction to net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The outstanding obligations with our supply chain finance provider that are included in accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $ 62,848 and $ 44,522 , respectively. Purchase Obligations At June 30, 2024, we had unrecorded commitments under contract of $ 229,865 .

Legal Proceedings We are not currently party to any material legal proceedings.

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.
