Cimpress to eliminate 500 jobs, seeks to generate about $100M in cost savings

In a regulatory 8-K filing, the company states: "On March 20, 2023, the Board of Directors of Cimpress plc approved a plan to reduce costs and implement organizational changes to support expanded profitability, reduced leverage, and increased speed, focus, and accountability. These plans include a net reduction of approximately 500 team members focused on the Vista business and Cimpress central teams. The majority of these role reductions were communicated on March 21, 2023, with the remainder expected to be completed by June 30, 2023. Certain of the planned actions are subject to mandatory consultations with employees, works councils and governmental authorities. Cimpress is also implementing significant non-compensation related cost reductions. In total, Cimpress expects these plans to generate about $100 million in annualized pre-tax cost savings. Cimpress estimates it will incur an aggregate pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $25 million to $27 million, which includes $22 million to $24 million of severance-related expense and approximately $3 million of other restructuring charges. Of the total estimated restructuring charge, Cimpress expects approximately $23 million to $26 million of cash expenditures, which will be primarily paid in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2023."
