Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cimpress N.V., its wholly owned subsidiaries, entities in which we maintain a controlling financial interest, and those entities in which we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which we can exercise significant influence, but do not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, are accounted for using the equity method and are included as investments in equity interests on the consolidated balance sheets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe our most significant estimates are associated with the ongoing evaluation of the recoverability of our long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated useful lives of assets, advertising expense and related accruals, share-based compensation, accounting for business combinations, variable interest entities and income taxes and related valuation allowances, among others. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries translate their assets and liabilities denominated in their functional currency to U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing throughout the period. The resulting gains and losses from translation are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Transaction gains and losses and remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are included in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the components of other income (expense), net:

(1) Includes both realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments.

(2) We have significant non-functional currency intercompany financing relationships subject to currency exchange rate volatility primarily due to changes in our corporate entity operating structure, effective October 1, 2013, which required us to alter our intercompany transactional and financing activities. The net currency related gains for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 are substantially driven by this intercompany activity.

Net Income Per Share Attributable to Cimpress N.V.

Basic net income per share attributable to Cimpress N.V. is computed by dividing net income attributable to Cimpress N.V. by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net income per share attributable to Cimpress N.V. gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including share options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and restricted share awards ("RSAs"), if the effect of the securities is dilutive using the treasury stock method. Awards with performance or market conditions are included using the treasury stock method only if the conditions would have been met as of the end of the reporting period and their effect is dilutive.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03,"Interest- Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," (ASU 2015-03), which requires an entity to present debt issuance costs related to recognized debt liability in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The new standard is effective for us on July 1, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires the application on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of the standard. We do not expect it to have a material impact.

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02,"Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," (ASU 2015-02) which places more emphasis in the consolidation evaluation on variable interests other than fee arrangements such as principal investment risk (for example, debt or equity interests), guarantees of the value of the assets or liabilities of the VIE, written put options on the assets of the VIE, or similar obligations. The new standard is effective for us on July 1, 2016. The standard permits early adoption and the use of a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect ASU 2015-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements but do not expect it to have a material impact.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,"Revenue from Contracts with Customers," (ASU 2014-09) which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The FASB has issued a proposal to defer the effective date to January 1, 2018, which would result in an effective date for us of July 1, 2018, with early application permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative catch-up transition method. We are currently evaluating the adoption method and effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements but do not expect it to have a material impact.
