CafePress Reports Results for First Quarter 2017

8% Year-over-Year Increase in Total Order Volume

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 2, 2017 - CafePress Inc. (NASDAQ: PRSS) today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Management Commentary

"CafePress' first quarter was highlighted by an 8% year-over-year increase in total orders, which is our third consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in volume. Our total revenue for the quarter was down 1% year-over-year due to the combination of an increasingly competitive online retail environment and more challenging comparisons from the Presidential primary season a year ago,” commented Fred Durham, Chief Executive Officer.

"CafePress is a leading destination for unique content and products that inspire meaningful connections. We are continuing to optimize the business and our technology, and are acutely focused on re-energizing our brand, merchandising, and customer experience. We recently began expanding our product line, adding even more high-quality, inspirational merchandise to our assortment. Our goal is to inspire human connection, and as the year progresses, we plan to give our customers even more ways to connect with others and express themselves through engaging merchandise," concluded Durham.

Definition of Non-GAAP Cash Contribution Margin

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

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.
