CafePress Inc. (NASDAQ: PRSS), The World's Customization Engine®, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Management Commentary
"I am excited to return to CafePress along with Maheesh Jain, my co-founder, as CEO and CMO, respectively. We both believe we can bring focus and passion to the core business," said chief executive officer Fred Durham. "We will concentrate on the consumer, increase focus by doing fewer things but doing them better, and will be dedicated to giving customers more reasons to be excited and to shop with us more often. We will first spend some time thoughtfully analyzing the operations and strategy of our entire company. We then intend to aggressively execute a plan that we believe will streamline our business, grow profits and enhance the customer experience.”

- GAAP net loss was $(3.6) million, or $(0.21) per diluted share, (including stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and restructuring costs), compared to a net loss of $(1.7) million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013.
- Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(0.2) million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2013.
- Non-GAAP net loss was $(1.8) million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, (excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and restructuring costs) compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(0.7) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013.
- Gross profit margin was 37.0% of net revenues, compared to 38.7% in the second quarter of 2013.

Second Quarter 2014 Operating Metrics
- Average Order Size (AOS) was $39, up 14% year-over-year.
- Orders totaled 1.3 million, a 14% year-over-year decline.
Order count in the second quarter decreased due to changes in a legacy partner's roadmap related to photo prints, which carry a lower AOS. This was a contributor to an overall mix change, which produced an increase in AOS.
Second Quarter Operating Highlights

- Fulfilled growing demand for customized e-commerce offerings abroad as international revenue grew 11% year-over-year.
- Enhanced mobile conversion capabilities with the launch of voucher redemption and shopping cart improvements.
- Joined with Marvel Entertainment LLC to continue to bring fans gear with the addition of official Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy to the lineup of licensed products available on CafePress.

Business Outlook
Given recent management changes at the Company and the ongoing process of reviewing strategic alternatives as previously announced, CafePress is not providing financial guidance and is withdrawing its prior full year 2014 guidance. The Company notes that no decision on any particular strategic alternative has been reached at this time and cautions that there can be no assurances as to whether any strategic alternative will be recommended by the Board or implemented and under what terms and conditions. The Company does not intend to disclose developments with respect to the progress of its evaluation of strategic alternatives until such time as the Board has determined an appropriate course of action or otherwise deems disclosure is necessary.

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, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. 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.
