Vistaprint N.V., a leading online provider of professional marketing products and services to micro businesses and the home, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

“We are generally pleased with our accomplishments in fiscal 2012,” said Robert Keane, president and chief executive officer. “We sustained strong annual revenue growth while executing on key strategy initiatives. We delivered earnings above our guidance range for the fourth quarter and fiscal year due to favorability on a number of cost items. In the fourth quarter, we were pleased with revenue performance in North America and Asia Pacific; however, we were disappointed with the deterioration of revenue growth rates in Europe.

“Over the last two quarters, we have seen lower growth rates in Europe than in North America, which is a break from the past,” continued Keane. “Although we expected near-term revenue headwinds from the implementation of customer-centric user experience improvements, we have been more successful in mitigating these headwinds in North America than in Europe. We continue to believe that Europe has significant potential for us and are targeting improved growth rates over time.”

Keane continued, “During fiscal 2012, we made significant progress against our strategy initiatives fueled by the new investment approach we announced one year ago. We believe we remain on track to achieve our qualitative long-term strategic goals and continue to target the earnings and constant currency revenue growth goals articulated at that time. In some areas, we are ahead of our plans, and in other areas, such as European revenue growth, we have challenges we must address. We are fortunate to have many drivers within our business, and we will continue to take a flexible approach to managing our resources to drive continued growth.”

Investment in Asian Markets:

Consistent with our announcement one year ago that we would proactively consider M&A as a means to enter adjacent markets, including geographic expansion, Vistaprint today announced an enhanced strategy to drive longer-term growth in China and India. As previously disclosed, Vistaprint acquired the assets of a startup business in India, PrintBell, in fiscal 2012. On July 10, 2012,Vistaprint also made a capital investment in a Chinese business which operates under the name Namex. This resulted in Vistaprintowning a 34.5 percent indirect equity interest in Namex, with call options to increase Vistaprint’s ownership incrementally to 100% over the coming eight years. Both PrintBell and Namex are innovative, focused start-ups in markets that we believe have large long-term potential. In order to help ensure these investments are successful over the long term, Vistaprint anticipates investing in supporting resources that will be managed from a new “Most of World” business unit, with headquarters in Singapore, whose President reports directly into Robert Keane. Neither India nor China is expected to contribute materially to our revenue in fiscal 2013. However, resource investments in those entities and in the supporting Singapore-based team are expected to be dilutive to fiscal 2013 earnings. The financial guidance provided below includes the expected impact of these Asian investments.

Fiscal 2013 Outlook as of July 26, 2012:

Ernst Teunissen, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, “The fiscal 2013 guidance we are introducing today includes a range of constant currency organic revenue growth of 15 percent to 20 percent. Reaccelerating revenue growth in our core business is an important strategic goal for us, and we expect growth in North America and Asia Pacific to remain strong in fiscal 2013. However, we believe it is realistic and prudent to anticipate the potential for continued revenue weakness in Europethrough fiscal 2013. These expectations are incorporated into our revenue guidance range. Finally, a year ago, we presented a plan for which we anticipated modest GAAP earnings per share growth in fiscal 2013 compared to our fiscal 2012 GAAP earnings guidance range for our organic business. We believe we are on track to deliver this in fiscal 2013. Additionally, our fiscal 2013 earnings guidance includes the negative impact of our acquisitions of Webs and Albumprinter, our investments in Asia, and the incremental accounting impact driven by our recent move to more performance-based executive stock option grants, as well as the positive impact of our fiscal 2012 share repurchases.”

Financial Guidance as of July 26, 2012:

As previously stated, beginning with fiscal year 2013, the company is providing revenue guidance on an annual and quarterly basis, and earnings guidance on an annual basis. Based on current and anticipated levels of demand, the company expects the following financial results:

Fiscal Year 2013 Revenue

• For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, the company expects revenue of approximately $1,175 million to $1,225 million, or 15 percent to 20 percent growth year over year in reported terms. Excluding currency movements and acquired revenue, we expect constant-currency organic growth of approximately 15 percent to 20 percent. Constant-currency growth expectations assume a recent 30-day currency exchange rate for all currencies.
• For the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, ending September 30, 2012, the company expects revenue of approximately $250 million to $260 million, or 18 percent to 22 percent growth year over year in reported terms. We expect constant-currency organic growth of approximately 13 percent to 18 percent.

Fiscal Year 2013 GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share

• For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, the company expects GAAP net income per share of approximately $0.40 to $0.70, which assumes 35.8 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Fiscal Year 2013 Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share

• For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, the company expects non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share of approximately $1.62 to $1.92, which excludes expected acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets of approximately$7.6 million or approximately $0.21 per diluted share, share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect of approximately $35.3 million or approximately $0.97 per diluted share, and tax charges related to the alignment of acquisition-related intellectual property with global operations of approximately $2.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. This guidance assumes a non-GAAP weighted average diluted share count of approximately 36.5 million shares.

Fiscal Year 2013 Capital Expenditures

For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, the company expects to make capital expenditures of approximately $75 million to $95 million. Planned capital investments are designed to support the planned growth of the business and will include the expansion of our European production capacity in our Venlo facility and other investments.

The foregoing guidance supersedes any guidance previously issued by the company. All such previous guidance should no longer be relied upon.
