CPI Card Group Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

Net Sales Increased 3% to $119 Million; Net Income Decreased 8% to $6 Million; Adjusted EBITDA Decreased 6% to $22 Million

Debit and Credit and Prepaid Debit Segments Each Deliver Growth; Card Sales Trends Continue to Improve

Company Increases Full Year Net Sales Outlook to Mid-single Digit Growth

CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS) (“CPI” or the “Company”), a payments technology company and leading provider of credit, debit, and prepaid card and digital solutions, including Software-as-a-Service-based instant issuance, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 and updated its financial outlook for 2024.

In the second quarter net sales increased 3% to $118.8 million, with growth in both the Debit and Credit and Prepaid segments; net income decreased 8% to $6.0 million; and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6% to $21.9 million.

Sales growth in the quarter was driven by continued strong performance from Prepaid, instant issuance solutions and other card personalization services, while debit and credit card sales trends improved from recent quarters. Secure card sales decreased slightly year-on-year in the quarter and increased sequentially compared to the first quarter.

For the first six months of the year total net sales declined 2%. As previously noted, the Company anticipated sales declines in the first half of 2024 to be offset by growth in the second half from share gains and improved market demand as channel inventory levels subside.

“We continue to execute our strategy and are pleased to deliver solid improvement in card sales and ongoing growth in our other business lines in the quarter,” said John Lowe, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We expected the first half of the year to be challenging, and our performance and momentum put us in a strong position to grow in the second half and achieve our increased full year expectations.”

The Company updated its financial outlook for 2024, increasing its outlook for net sales from slight growth to a mid-single digit increase, while retaining its Adjusted EBITDA outlook of a slight increase from prior year.

In July, the Company completed a refinancing of its debt, including the issuance of $285 million of Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and entry into a new $75 million asset based revolving credit facility.

CPI is a top payment solutions provider in the U.S. serving thousands of banks, credit unions and fintechs, as well as major bank platforms and prepaid program managers. 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.

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 March 31, 2024.

2024 Business Highlights

  • CPI continues to be 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.
  • CPI continues to be a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service-based instant issuance solutions in the U.S., with more than 16,000 Card@Once® installations across more than 2,000 financial institutions.
  • The Company executed share repurchases against the $20 million authorization announced in the fourth quarter of 2023. Through June 2024, the Company had repurchased in the open market or had committed to repurchase through its stock purchase agreement with its majority stockholder approximately $9 million of shares since initiation of the program.
  • The Company ended the second quarter with a Net Leverage Ratio of 3.3x.
  • Early in the third quarter, the Company refinanced its existing debt, issuing $285 million of 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and entering into a new $75 million ABL revolving credit facility, while redeeming the $268 million outstanding of 8 5/8% notes due 2026.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

Net sales increased 3% year-over-year to $118.8 million in the second quarter of 2024.

  • Debit and Credit segment net sales increased 3% to $95.6 million, primarily due to increases in Card@Once® instant issuance solutions and other card personalization services. Card sales decreased slightly, as an increase in eco-focused contactless card sales was offset by declines in sales of contact chip cards.
  • Prepaid Debit segment net sales increased 9% to $23.8 million, reflecting strong sales to existing customers.

Second quarter gross profit increased 4% to $42.4 million and gross profit margin was 35.7%, which compared to 35.5% in the prior year second quarter.

Second quarter income from operations decreased 15% to $14.9 million due to higher SG&A expenses; net income decreased 8% to $6.0 million, or $0.51 diluted earnings per share; and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6% to $21.9 million. The SG&A increase primarily reflects higher compensation expense, including increased stock compensation. Net income declined less than income from operations primarily due to a lower tax rate compared to the prior year period.

Year-to-date 2024 Financial Highlights

Net sales decreased 2% year-over-year to $230.8 million in the first half of 2024.

  • Debit and Credit segment net sales decreased 6% to $183.6 million, primarily due to lower sales of contactless and contact chip cards, partially offset by increases in sales of Card@Once® instant issuance solutions and other card personalization services and eco-focused contactless cards.
  • Prepaid Debit segment net sales increased 17% to $48.0 million, reflecting strong sales to existing customers.

Year-to-date gross profit was flat at $83.9 million and gross profit margin increased from 35.6% in the prior year to 36.4%.

Year-to-date income from operations decreased 24% to $29.1 million due to higher SG&A expenses; net income decreased 34% to $11.5 million, or $0.97 diluted earnings per share; and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7% to $44.9 million. Income from operations and net income in the current year include the impact of approximately $2 million of first quarter pre-tax operating expenses related to an executive retention package announced in 2023, as well as other CEO transition-related expenses, including stock compensation and executive severance, which are not included in Adjusted EBITDA.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash Flow

The Company generated cash from operating activities of $4.1 million in the first half of 2024, which compared to $10.3 million in the 2023 first half, and Free Cash Flow of $1.4 million, which compared to $3.7 million in the prior year. The decrease in cash generation compared to the prior year was driven by lower net income and increased working capital usage, partially offset by lower capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents was $7.5 million. There were $268 million of 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and $4 million of borrowings from the ABL revolving credit facility outstanding at quarter-end.

In the second quarter, the Company spent $0.75 million to repurchase 40,178 shares of common stock in the open market. In July, the Company spent $2.2 million to purchase an additional 120,534 shares from its majority shareholder pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement announced in March, which committed the Company to purchase shares from its majority shareholder at a 3 to 1 ratio to the number of shares repurchased in the open market over the April through June period. In the second quarter the Company also settled a $4.4 million purchase of 244,314 shares from its majority shareholder, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement announced in December.

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 were pleased to deliver stronger sales trends and improved gross margins in the second quarter and to complete the refinancing of our debt in July,” said Jeff Hochstadt, Chief Financial Officer of CPI. “The refinancing of our senior notes provides stability to our capital structure and supports our efforts to drive long-term growth.”

Outlook for 2024

The Company updated its net sales outlook for 2024 to a mid-single digit increase, compared to the previous outlook of a slight increase. The increase in the sales outlook was driven by strong Prepaid growth and improved trends in debit and credit card sales.

The Company maintained its Adjusted EBITDA outlook of a slight increase for the full year as profit growth in the second half is expected to be lower than sales growth due to certain anticipated impacts to SG&A, including investments to grow the business and increased performance-related compensation relative to 2023.

The Free Cash Flow outlook was maintained at approximately half of the 2023 level. The Company generated $27.6 million of Free Cash Flow in 2023 and expects lower levels in 2024 due to increased capital spending investment, including investment in a new state-of-the-art secure card production facility in Indiana, and the impact of a contract with one of the Company’s larger customers, which should benefit cash flow through 2029, but negatively impact Free Cash Flow in 2024 due to up-front incentives.

The Company continues to expect its year-end 2024 Net Leverage Ratio to be between 3.0x and 3.5x.

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 executive retention and severance; costs related to production facility modernization efforts; 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 make principal payments on outstanding debt and financing lease liabilities. 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 2024

We have provided Adjusted EBITDA expectations for 2024 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.
