VENLO, The Netherlands, Oct. 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vistaprint N.V. (Nasdaq:VPRT), the company that provides high-impact personalized products and services for small businesses and the home, today announced financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

"Vistaprint continued our track record of strong execution with these first quarter results," said Robert Keane, president and chief executive officer.

"While we are off to a good start in our fiscal year 2010 with our first quarter performance, we remain at the very early stages of our holiday-related seasonal peak that is critical to our full fiscal year results," said Mike Giannetto, chief financial officer. "We are updating our full-year guidance to reflect recent currency movements, which we anticipate will have a positive impact on full-year revenue, but a negative impact on costs and expenses. This results in increased revenue guidance but EPS guidance that is largely unchanged. We remain confident in our ability to execute against our fiscal year 2010 operating plan and our long-term investment strategy."

Financial Guidance as of October 29, 2009:

Based on current and anticipated levels of demand, the Company expects the following financial results:

The foregoing guidance supersedes any guidance previously issued by the Company. All such previous guidance should no longer be relied upon. At approximately 4:20 p.m. (EDT) on October 29, 2009, 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.

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, non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share and free cash flow. The item excluded from the non-GAAP adjusted net income measurements is share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus purchases of property, plant and equipment, and capitalization of software and website development costs. 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.

Vistaprint's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses that were non-cash in nature or 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.

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 and cash flow.
