— "the worst in a long time”, and the departure of Vistaprint’s CEO will result in founder Robert Keane personally overseeing the performance of Cimpress's flagship operation Vistaprint . Vistaprint posted revenue growth of just 1 percent, while overall Cimpress revenue grew 8 percent, down from 32 percent in the second quarter of 2018.  Vistaprint sales nudged up by just 1.2% to $434.3m, while profits at the business fell from $99m to $83.8m. The increase in sales at National Pen, acquired two years ago, was also described as “disappointing”, and the division’s profits would have declined were it not for  new financial reporting . Our deteriorating performance over the past six-plus months led to some serious soul searching about the root causes and what we will do about them,” Keane  stated. Cimpress shares went on to fall by 28% to $83.17 in trading following the results announcement.
