CafePress Reports Results for Third Quarter 2016

Management Commentary

"CafePress' third quarter was highlighted by a 9% year over year increase in total orders, our highest volume for a non-peak quarter since 2014. While we have not turned the corner on revenue growth, we have substantially narrowed the net revenue decline. We believe that these are early proof points that we have positioned the company for a return to growth," commented Fred Durham, Chief Executive Officer.

"CafePress helps bring passions to life through unique and creative items and gifts. We are excited to share another holiday season filled with unique, creative gift ideas with our customers. Looking forward, we believe CafePress will continue to deliver steady improvements as we focus on growth channels and optimizing the customer experience," concluded Durham.

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 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.
