CPI Card Group Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

Third Quarter Net Sales Decreased 15% to $106 Million; Net Income Decreased 68% to $4 Million; Adjusted EBITDA Decreased 25% to $21 Million

First Nine Months Net Sales Decreased 2%; Net Income Decreased 12%; Adjusted EBITDA Decreased 1%

Company Updates 2023 Outlook; Announces $20 Million Share Repurchase Authorization

CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS) (“CPI” or the “Company”), a payment technology company and leading provider of credit, debit, and prepaid solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and updated its financial outlook for 2023.

As anticipated, third quarter sales and earnings declined compared to prior year levels, with net sales decreasing 15% to $105.9 million, net income decreasing 68% to $3.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreasing 25% to $21.2 million. Sales declines reflect cautious spending and inventory rationalization by certain customers and were also impacted by comparisons with the 2022 third quarter, when the Company posted net sales growth of 25%.

“We believe the card production market has been affected by cautious customer spending due to a variety of factors, including a focus on managing inventory levels following robust purchases in a challenging supply-chain environment last year,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although the production side of the market has been relatively softer, card issuance to end users has continued to grow and we believe the long-term growth trends for the industry remain intact.”

The Company expects fourth quarter sales and Adjusted EBITDA to be similar to the third quarter levels as customer demand remains lower than anticipated and new sales initiatives are not expected to significantly impact the current year. As a result, the Company’s updated full year outlook for 2023 projects mid-single digit declines for both net sales and Adjusted EBITDA, with Free Cash Flow projected to be approximately double the 2022 level.

The Company believes long-term growth trends for the U.S. card market remain strong, led by consumer card growth, widespread adoption of eco-focused cards and the ongoing conversion to contactless cards. Based on figures released by the networks, Visa and Mastercard® U.S. debit and credit cards in circulation increased at a compound annual growth rate of 10% for the three-year period ending June 30, 2023.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors approved a $20 million share repurchase authorization, expiring December 31, 2024.

Scheirman added, “We believe repurchasing our shares is a great investment for our shareholders, as the Company is well-positioned for the future with innovative, high-quality products and services and strong customer focus.”

CPI is a top payment solutions provider in the U.S. serving thousands of banks, credit unions and fintechs. The Company is a leader in the U.S. markets for eco-focused payment cards, personalization and Software-as-a-Service-based instant issuance solutions for small and medium U.S. financial institutions and retail prepaid debit card solutions, and maintains longstanding customer relationships.

2023 Business Highlights

  • A leading provider of eco-focused payment card solutions in the U.S. market, with more than 100 million eco-focused cards sold since launch in late 2019.
  • A leading provider of Software-as-a-Service-based instant issuance solutions in the U.S., with more than 15,000 Card@Once® installations across more than 2,000 financial institutions.
  • Financial position improvement, with the outstanding balance on the Company’s 8.625% Senior Secured Notes reduced by $17 million in the first nine months of the year through open market repurchases and a Net Leverage Ratio of 2.9x at September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

Net sales decreased 15% year-over-year to $105.9 million in the third quarter of 2023.

  • Debit and Credit segment net sales decreased 16% to $83.8 million, primarily due to volume declines in eco-focused and other contactless cards and contact cards. Services sales increased due to growth in Card@Once® instant issuance solutions processing fees.
  • Prepaid Debit segment net sales decreased 12% to $22.3 million, primarily due to timing of sales between quarters.

Third quarter gross profit decreased 25% to $36.2 million and gross profit margin was 34.1%, which compared to 38.9% in the prior year third quarter.

Third quarter income from operations decreased 45% to $13 million; net income decreased 68% to $3.9 million, or $0.33 diluted earnings per share; and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 25% to $21.2 million. Income from operations, net income and Adjusted EBITDA declines were driven by the sales decrease, partially offset by lower operating expenses. The net income decrease was also impacted by a higher effective tax rate compared to prior year, partially offset by lower interest expense. Income from operations and net income were negatively impacted by approximately $3 million of pre-tax operating expenses related to executive retention, which are not included in Adjusted EBITDA.

Year-to-date 2023 Financial Highlights

Net sales decreased 2% year-over-year to $341.7 million in the first nine months of 2023.

  • Debit and Credit segment net sales decreased 2% to $279 million, primarily due to volume declines in eco-focused contactless cards compared to strong orders in 2022 and lower contact card sales, partially offset by increases in sales of other contactless cards and services related to card personalization and Card@Once® instant issuance solutions.
  • Prepaid Debit segment net sales decreased 1% to $63.3 million.

Year-to-date gross profit decreased 6% to $120.1 million and gross profit margin was 35.1%, which compared to 36.7% in the prior year.

Year-to-date income from operations decreased 10% to $51.1 million; net income decreased 12% to $21.3 million, or $1.79 diluted earnings per share; and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 1% to $69.6 million. Income from operations, net income and Adjusted EBITDA declines were driven by lower net sales, partially offset by lower operating expenses, while the net income decline also reflects a higher effective tax rate, partially offset by lower interest expense. Income from operations and net income were negatively impacted by approximately $4 million of pre-tax operating expenses related to executive retention, which are not included in Adjusted EBITDA.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash Flow

The Company generated cash flow from operating activities of $22.3 million in the first nine months of the year, which compared to $11.7 million in the prior year period, and Free Cash Flow of $16.2 million, which compared to a usage of $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2022. The increase in cash generation compared to the prior year was driven by working capital improvement.

As of September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents was $10.5 million. There were $268 million of 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and $8 million of borrowings from the ABL revolving credit facility outstanding at quarter-end. The Company retired $17 million of notes during the first nine months of 2023, utilizing cash balances and revolving credit facility proceeds.

The Company’s capital structure and allocation priorities are to maintain ample liquidity; invest in the business, including strategic acquisitions; deleverage the balance sheet; and return funds to stockholders.

“We are managing operating expenses tightly as we deal with the softer customer demand in 2023,” said Jeff Hochstadt, Chief Financial Officer of CPI. “We are also keenly focused on optimizing working capital to generate strong free cash flow improvement in 2023.”

Outlook

The Company projects the following full-year outlook for 2023:

  • Net sales to decline mid-single digits (previous outlook: flat to low single-digit growth)
  • Adjusted EBITDA to decline mid-single digits (previous outlook: mid-to-high single-digit growth)
  • Free Cash Flow to be approximately double the 2022 level (previous outlook: more than double the 2022 level)
  • Net Leverage Ratio of approximately 3x (previous outlook: 2.5x to 3x)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release, all reported on a continuing operations basis: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow, LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Leverage Ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis between fiscal periods. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in Exhibit E to this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a continuing operations basis and is defined as EBITDA (which represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted for litigation; stock-based compensation expense; estimated sales tax expense; restructuring and other charges, including severance and executive retention; loss on debt extinguishment; foreign currency gain or loss; and other items that are unusual in nature, infrequently occurring or not considered part of our core operations, as set forth in the reconciliation in Exhibit E. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, unusual or non-recurring losses or gains. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations; or (g) the impact of any discontinued operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-operating, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. In addition, certain of these expenses represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other purposes. Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage as shown in Exhibit E is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales.

We define LTM Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA (defined previously) for the last twelve months. LTM Adjusted EBITDA is used in the computation of Net Leverage Ratio, and is reconciled in Exhibit E.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. We use this metric in analyzing our ability to service and repay our debt. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service our debt. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, cash (used in) provided by operating activities or any other measures of liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP.

Financial Expectations for 2023

We have provided Adjusted EBITDA expectations for 2023 on a non-GAAP basis because certain reconciling items are dependent on future events that either cannot be controlled or cannot be reliably predicted because they are not part of the Company’s routine activities, any of which could be significant.

Net Leverage Ratio

Management and various investors use the ratio of debt principal outstanding, plus finance lease obligations, less cash, divided by LTM Adjusted EBITDA, or “Net Leverage Ratio”, as a measure of our financial strength when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers.
