Financial Guidance as of January 25th 2007:

Based on current and anticipated levels of demand, the Company expects the following financial results for the third quarter and full year of fiscal 2007:

Revenue

  • For the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, ending March 31, 2007, the Company expects revenue to range from $67 million to $70 million.
  • For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, the Company expects revenue to range from $250 million to $260 million.

  • Gross Margins

  • For the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, ending March 31, 2006, the Company expects gross margins to range from 62 percent to 65 percent.
  • For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, the Company expects gross margins to range from 63 percent to 65 percent.

  • GAAP Fully-Diluted Earnings Per Share

  • For the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, ending March 31, 2007, the Company expects GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share to range from $0.14 to $0.16.
  • For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, the Company expects GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share to range from $0.56 to $0.61.

  • Non-GAAP Fully-Diluted Earnings Per Share

  • For the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, ending March 31, 2007, the Company expects non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share, excluding share-based compensation expense, to range from $0.18 to $0.20.
  • For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, the Company expects non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share, excluding share-based compensation, to range from $0.73 to $0.78

Capital Expenditures

Given current and anticipated demand, the Company expects to increase its capital expenditures beyond previously announced guidance.

  • For Q3 of fiscal year 2007, ending March 31, 2006, the Company expects to make capital expenditures of $21 to $25 million.
  • For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, the Company expects to make capital expenditures of approximately 25 to 27 percent of FY 2007 revenue, which translates to between $63 and $70 million given revenue guidance of $250 to $260 million. Previously unplanned land purchases in the second half of FY 2007 resulting from increasing growth rates and the need to expand manufacturing facilities account for a large part of the higher capital expenditures as a percent of FY 2007 revenue versus prior capital expenditure guidance. Prior capital expenditure guidance was 22 to 24 percent of FY 2007 revenue.

The foregoing guidance supersedes any guidance previously issued by the Company for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. All such previous guidance should no longer be relied upon.

At approximately 4:15 p.m. (EST) on January 25th, 2007 VistaPrint will post, on the investor relations section of www.vistaprint.com, a link to a pre-recorded audio visual end-of-quarter presentation along with a downloadable transcript of the prepared remarks that accompany that presentation. At 5:00 p.m. (EST) there will be a Web cast of a live Q&A session with VistaPrint management. Links to this Q&A session will also be posted on the investor relations section of the Company's Web site. A replay of the Q&A session will be available on the Company's Web site following the call on January 25th, 2007.

About non-GAAP financial measures

To supplement VistaPrint's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP, VistaPrint uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included at the end of this release.

VistaPrint's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our core business operating results. VistaPrint believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing VistaPrint's performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to VistaPrint's historical performance and our competitors' operating results. VistaPrint believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. Management uses these supplemental measures to evaluate performance period over period and to analyze the underlying trends in the Company's business and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources.

VistaPrint expects to compute its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. The accompanying table has more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation between these financial measures. The item excluded from the non-GAAP measurements is share-based compensation expense.

Share-based compensation expense

VistaPrint adopted SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payments, on July 1, 2005 and began expensing the fair value of share option grants issued to employees and directors. Prior to that date, the Company had accounted for share option grants under the provisions of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and therefore had not recorded any compensation expense related to such grants. Management has excluded share-based compensation expense from the non-GAAP measurements for fiscal year 2006 and 2007 to facilitate comparison and analysis to historical performance and our competitors' operating results.

Although management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to understanding the Company's financial performance, to gain a complete picture of all effects on the Company's profit and loss from any and all events, investors should rely upon the GAAP statement of operations.
