CafePress Reports Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016

LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CafePress Inc. (NASDAQ: PRSS ) today reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2016.

Management Commentary

"We are proud to report year-over-year revenue growth in the fourth quarter, capping a successful year that demonstrates the steady progress we are making.  2016 was a year of inflection for CafePress, as years of revenue decline in the core business slowed quarter over quarter and returned to growth," said Fred Durham, Chief Executive Officer.  "While we believe we were a bit too aggressive in our pricing strategy during the fourth quarter when holiday demand was strong, we are actively assessing how to optimize pricing across CafePress.com and Retail Partner Channels.  Our investments in core systems have allowed us to better optimize our customer acquisition efforts and customer experience.  From this base, we look forward to re-energizing the consumer experience and making CafePress an even better place to shop."

"CafePress creates human connection by inspiring people to express themselves with the best assortment of expressive merchandise.  For 2017, we look forward to capitalizing on the momentum we've built by further investing in our brand and experience to connect and engage with our customers," concluded Durham.

1 Continuing operations includes results from CafePress.com and Retail Partners Channels. The Financial Highlights, Operating Metrics, and accompanying tables reflect the results of the Company’s divestitures of its Art, Logo, and EZ Prints businesses in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

2 Financial Highlights, Operating Metrics, and accompanying tables are revised for all periods presented to reflect the accounting for platform fees paid to third-party websites selling our products.  Previously, these fees were presented as a reduction to net revenue when the fees should have been presented as sales and marketing expense.  The revision, which we determined is not a material error, had no impact on loss from operations, results of operations, stockholders' equity or cash flows.  Please see Supplemental Selected Quarterly Data included below.

Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” for definitions of the terms Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Cash contribution margin.  A reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial information is presented in the supplementary information section at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Tables are provided at the end of this press release that reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA and cash contribution margin. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see the information provided at the end of this press release.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company's core operating results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance and its prospects for the future. These adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results and trends and performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company's financial results, develop budgets, manage expenditures, and determine employee compensation. The presentation of additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share determined in accordance with GAAP.

* During 2016, we began using a non-GAAP financial measure called cash contribution margin in lieu of contribution margin, a non-GAAP financial measure that we used previously.  Cash contribution margin (a non-GAAP financial measure that we reconcile to “Gross profit” in our consolidated statements of operations) consists of gross profit plus stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization included in cost of net revenue less variable sales and marketing expense.  In addition, variable sales and marketing expense includes platform fees paid to third-party websites selling our products.  Previously, these fees were presented as a reduction to net revenue when the fees should have been presented as sales and marketing expense.  Finally, our definition of variable sales and marketing expense was updated to include fees we pay third parties to manage our keyword advertising spend.  The prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to this presentation.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we revised our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the period ended December 31, 2015 to reflect the accounting for platform fees paid to third-party websites selling our products.  Previously, these fees were presented as a reduction to net revenue when the fees should have been presented as sales and marketing expense.  The net impact of the revision on our net revenue, gross profit, and operating expense is presented in the quarterly information below.  The revision, which we determined is not a material error, had no impact on the other items presented below.

Definition of Non-GAAP Cash Contribution Margin from Continuing Operations

During 2016, we began using a non-GAAP financial measure called cash contribution margin in lieu of contribution margin, a non-GAAP financial measure that we used previously.  Cash contribution margin (a non-GAAP financial measure that we reconcile to “Gross profit” in our consolidated statements of operations) consists of gross profit plus stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization included in cost of net revenue less variable sales and marketing expense.  In addition, variable sales and marketing expense includes platform fees paid to third-party websites selling our products.  Previously, these fees were presented as a reduction to net revenue when the fees should have been presented as sales and marketing expense.  Finally, our definition of variable sales and marketing expense was updated to include fees we pay third parties to manage our keyword advertising spend.  The prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to this presentation.
