HAMILTON, Bermuda -- Vistaprint Limited, the small business marketing company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

"Vistaprint delivered outstanding results for the quarter and for the full year, despite the macroeconomic and currency-related headwinds we encountered most of the year," said Robert Keane, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Our talented employees continued to execute across functions, geographies and product lines, which is especially impressive in the context of our decision nine months ago to slow down our rate of investment due to the onset of the recession and the deterioration of currency exchange rates. As a result, we showed significant leverage in our business in 2009."

About non-GAAP financial measures

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

Share-based compensation expense

Vistaprint adopted SFAS 123(R), 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 and its related tax effect, if any, from the non-GAAP measurements for fiscal years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Vistaprint's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses that may not have been indicative of our core business operating results. Vistaprint believes that both management and investors have historically benefited 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 have facilitated management's internal comparisons to Vistaprint's historical performance and our competitors' operating results. Management believes that these benefits were particularly important during the period following adoption of SFAS 123(R), as prospective equity grants resulted in incremental share-based compensation expenses not previously reported by Vistaprint prior to adoption of SFAS 123(R), which management believes were not indicative of core business operating results.

The Company intends to continue to use non-GAAP financial measures in its financial reporting and guidance in fiscal year 2010 and will reevaluate for future periods. Until Vistaprint ceases to include non-GAAP financial measures in its reporting, it expects to compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year.

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