CafePress Reports Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results


Net Revenues Increase 19% Year Over Year

Closes EZ Prints Acquisition to Extend E-Commerce Services

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CafePress Inc. (Nasdaq:PRSS), The World's Customization EngineTM, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

"Third quarter revenue was driven by strong demand for customized products across all CafePress brands. To manage this growth we doubled the size of our flagship manufacturing facility in Kentucky during the quarter," said Chief Executive Officer Bob Marino. "Revenue from our Marketplace and large corporate shops was solid, we launched new social, mobile and licensed content programs, and average order size benefitted from strong wall art sales and purchases by groups. These trends were offset by lower revenue from small shops, and our bottom line was impacted by enhanced levels of promotional activity and additional expenses related to increased manufacturing capacity. Looking ahead, we believe that the addition of software technology from the recent EZ Prints acquisition will enable us to more efficiently build and scale large corporate shops, fuel traffic growth and further our reach by opening up CafePress' massive content library to a wider audience across the internet."
