CPI Card Group Inc. Reports Third Quarter and Year-to-Date 2020 Results
Date: November 3, 2020
Net Sales of $82.7 Million, Up 15% and 11% Year-over-Year in the Third Quarter and First Nine Months
Net Income of $5.8 Million, Up 984% and 425% Year-over-Year in the Third Quarter and First Nine Months
Adjusted EBITDA of $17.5 Million, Up 43% and 39% Year-over-Year in the Third Quarter and First Nine Months
Cash of $50 Million at Quarter End
Littleton, CO. November 3, 2020 -- CPI Card Group Inc. (OTCQX: PMTS; TSX: PMTS) (“CPI” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
“As we continue to navigate these unprecedented times, we are pleased with our strong third quarter performance,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. “Our 15% top-line growth underscores the resilience of the business, our ability to capitalize on the dual interface card demand in the U.S. and the strong market for our innovative and differentiated products, including our eco-focused solutions. Operating margins also expanded significantly in the quarter, driven by operating leverage and ongoing efficiency initiatives. We continue to win new business with our existing customers, add new customers and pursue opportunities.”
Scheirman continued, “We remain steadfast and intensely focused on our strategies of deep customer focus, providing market-leading quality products and customer service, delivering innovative solutions and a market-competitive business model.”
Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2020 Financial Highlights
Net sales increased 15% and 11% year-over-year to $82.7 million and $228.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Gross profit increased 21% and 15% year-over-year in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Gross profit margins increased to 37.0% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 35.4% in the prior year period, primarily due to higher net sales and operating leverage in the Debit and Credit segment. Gross profit margins increased to 34.8% from 33.7% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the prior year.
Income from operations was $13.5 million and $26.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively, compared with $7.7 million and $21.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively. In the first nine months of 2019, the Company recognized a $6.0 million gain related to the cash settlement of litigation, which was included in income from operations.
Third quarter 2020 net income was $5.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or a $0.06 loss per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019. For the first nine
months, net income was $8.8 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, in 2020 compared to a net loss of $2.7 million, or a $0.24 loss per diluted share, in 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 43% and 39% year-over-year to $17.5 million and $40.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively.
Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2020 Segment Information
Debit and Credit:
Net sales increased 22% and 19% year-over-year to $62.7 million and $180.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Growth for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 was driven primarily by higher volumes of dual-interface EMV® card sales, including Second WaveTM cards featuring a core made with recovered ocean bound plastic. In addition, net sales increased from CPI On-Demand card personalization due to new customer wins and higher volumes from our existing customers, and from COVID-19 related government disbursement work. This growth was partially offset by COVID-19 impacts, including reduced volumes in card personalization stemming from fewer new accounts and requests for replacement cards. Card@Once® product sales were also impacted by COVID-19 due to reduced hours of operation, lack of access or closure of certain bank branches.
Prepaid Debit:
Net sales were up 1% and down 8% year-over-year to $20.6 million and $48.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Growth for the third quarter was primarily due to timing of certain customer sales, partially offset by reduced sales volumes primarily associated with COVID-19 impacts, including lower retail store traffic, which also impacted the decline in net sales for the first nine months of 2020.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow
As of September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents was $50.3 million. Cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million and capital expenditures were $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, yielding Adjusted Free Cash Flow use of $3.5 million. For the first nine months of 2020, cash provided by operating activities was $10.2 million and capital expenditures were $3.3 million, yielding Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $6.9 million. This compares with the first nine months of 2019 when cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million, or a $9.0 million cash usage when excluding the $6.0 million cash received from a litigation settlement, and capital expenditures were $3.3 million, resulting in Adjusted Free Cash Flow use of $12.3 million. For the first nine months of 2020, cash provided by operating activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased $13.2 million and $19.2 million year-over-year, respectively.
Total long-term debt principal outstanding, comprised of the Company’s $30 million Senior Credit Facility and its $312.5 million First Lien Term Loan, was $342.5 million at September 30, 2020. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, total long-term debt was $335.8 million as of September 30, 2020. The Company’s Senior Credit Facility matures in May 2022 and the First Lien Term Loan matures in August 2022.
John Lowe, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Top-line net sales growth and our commitment to operating efficiently resulted in strong year-over-year growth in Net Sales, Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA. We are sharply focused on continuing to execute on our strategy and capitalizing on market opportunities.”

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, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. 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.
EBITDA
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all on a continuing operations basis. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance, and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net (loss) income or net (loss) income from continuing operations as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a continuing operations basis and is defined as EBITDA adjusted for litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation; stock-based compensation expense; estimated sales tax expense (benefit); restructuring and other charges; loss on Revolving Credit Facility termination; foreign currency gain or loss; litigation settlement gain; and other items that are unusual in nature, infrequently occurring or not considered part of our core operations, as set forth in the reconciliation on Exhibit E. Adjusted EBITDA is also a defined computation in our First Lien Term Loan and Senior Credit Facility agreements, which generally conforms to the definition above, and impacts certain credit measures
and covenants, including a covenant requiring the Company to have at least $25 million Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in our Senior Credit Facility) for the previous four consecutive fiscal quarters in total, at the end of each quarterly period ending on or after March 31, 2020. 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 (loss) 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. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA presented in this release, the measure as defined in our credit facilities may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage as shown in Exhibit E is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities - continuing operations, less capital expenditures from continuing operations, adjusted for cash received from a litigation settlement gain in the second quarter of 2019. 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, nor does it reflect the cash impacts of our discontinued operations. Adjusted Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, cash (used in) provided by operating activities - continuing operations or any other measures of liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP.

| Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2020 2 As we continue to navigate these unprecedented times, we remain committed to supporting our employees, customers and the communities in which we operate. Before updating you on our third quarter and first nine months results, we would like to provide an update regarding our response to this evolving situation. COVID-19 Update CPI Card Group Inc. (“CPI” or the “Company”), like many other businesses, closely monitors information available regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the broader economic implications to understand and address the impact on our employees, customers, partners and the community. We established and follow response protocols across our business that are based on the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local government health orders and guidelines. Throughout the pandemic, all of our facilities have remained operational and continue to provide essential services to our customers. Our operations provide direct and critical support to the financial services sector, including the production and fulfillment of debit and credit, payroll, government benefit, and health savings account cards, as well as payment cards used by the unbanked to pay for daily expenses and bills. These products enable people to access fundamental financial services. We continue to extend gratitude to our employees for their dedication and commitment to safety and serving our customers through these unprecedented times. Q3 2020 | |
| Vision and Strategic Priorities 3 We strive to be the trusted partner in payments and exceed expectations through high quality, collaboration and innovative products. We are committed to continually raising the bar on delivering high quality products and exceptional service while making it easy to do business with CPI. We drive efficiency and productivity throughout our business with ongoing process improvements, operational automation, technology and equipment advancement. We collaborate with our customers to deliver unique and differentiated products and solutions that elevate their customers’ experience and enhance their brands. Our vision is to be the partner of choice by providing market-leading quality products and customer service with a market-competitive business model. Q3 2020 | Deep Customer Focus Market-Leading Quality Products and Customer Service Continuous Innovation Market-Competitive Business Model |
| Strategic Update 4 We had a strong third quarter and first nine months of 2020, increasing net sales 15% and 11% year-over- year to $82.7 million and $228.0 million, respectively. During the first nine months of 2020, we: • Grew Net Income to $8.8 million, up 425% year-over-year • Delivered Adjusted EBITDA1 of $40.0 million, up 39% year-over-year • Ended the period with $50 million in cash These strong results underscore the resilience of our business and reflect the continued execution on our four key strategies: deep customer focus, market-leading quality products and customer service, continuous innovation and a market-competitive business model. Through the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, we delivered solid top-line growth as we supported the dual-interface demand in the U.S. With over 10 years of experience in dual-interface card solutions, we meet our customers’ dual-interface needs as they provide their cardholders with a faster and more seamless contactless point-of-sale experience. For our Debit and Credit segment, net sales increased 22% and 19% year-over-year to $62.7 million and $180.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Within this segment, our Secure Card business had strong sales growth year-over-year in the third quarter and first nine months due to a growing mix of higher average selling price dual-interface cards. Our dual-interface Second WaveTM cards, which feature a core made with recovered ocean-bound plastic, were a significant driver of Secure Card’s growth. Dual-interface continues to benefit our broader business, as we see year-over-year growth in dual-interface demand within our Personalization and Card@Once® businesses.

Growth across both periods was driven primarily by higher volumes of dual-interface EMV® card sales, including Second Wave cards. In addition, net sales increased from CPI On-Demand card personalization due to new customer wins, higher volumes from our existing customers and from COVID-19 related government disbursement work. This growth was partially offset by COVID-19 impacts, including reduced sales volumes in Prepaid due to lower retail store traffic and reduced volumes in card personalization stemming from fewer new accounts and requests for replacement cards. Card@Once product sales were also impacted by COVID-19 due to reduced hours of operation and lack of access or closure of certain bank branches. 5 Q3 2020 | $25.4 $30.6 35.4% 37.0% Q3 2019 Q3 2020 GROSS PROFIT & MARGIN ($ in millions) For the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 gross profit increased 21% and 15% year-over-year, respectively.

| $(0.7) $5.8 Q3 2019 Q3 2020 Third Quarter and First Nine Months Financial Review Net income was $5.8 million and $8.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. The change in the third quarter was primarily due to higher net sales and gross profit in the Debit and Credit segment, and lower operating expenses. The increase for the first nine months of 2020 was primarily due to higher net sales and gross profit and an income tax benefit versus income tax expense during the prior year, partially offset by the cash litigation settlement gain recorded in the prior year. 7 NET INCOME (LOSS) ($ in millions) $(2.7) $8.8 YTD 2019 YTD 2020 Q3 2020 | $12.3 $17.5 17.1% 21.1% Q3 2019 Q3 2020 ADJUSTED EBITDA & ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN3 ($ in millions) $28.8 $40.0 14.0% 17.5% YTD 2019 YTD 2020 Adjusted EBITDA increased 43% and 39% year-over-year to $17.5 million and $40.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 400 basis points in the third quarter and 350 basis points in the first nine months year-over-year, respectively. The increases are primarily due to year-over-year growth in net sales driving operating leverage as well as ongoing efficiency initiatives, which included restructuring initiatives in the first nine months of 2020. Partially offsetting these increases was lower EBITDA within our Prepaid Debit segment. 3 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins are not measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

| Debit and Credit Segment Segment Performance 8 Third quarter net sales for the Debit and Credit segment increased 22% to $62.7 million year-over-year primarily due to higher volumes of dual-interface EMV® card sales, including Second Wave cards featuring a core made with recovered ocean bound plastic. In addition, net sales increased from CPI On- Demand card personalization due to new customer wins and higher volumes from our existing customers, and from COVID-19 related government disbursement work. Dual-interface EMV® cards have additional technology to process contactless transactions and generally have a higher selling price than contact-only EMV® cards, which benefitted the current year sales increase compared to the prior year period. Partially offsetting these increases were reductions in volumes of Card@Once instant issuance product sales and card personalization sales in the third quarter of 2020. The decline in volumes was primarily as a result of ongoing impacts from COVID-19, including fewer new accounts, fewer requests for replacement cards and reduced hours of operation and lack of access or closure of certain bank branches. Operating margins for the period increased 670 basis points due to the higher net sales and a decrease in operating expenses. In the first nine months of 2020, net sales increased 19% to $180.9 million primarily due to the same reasons described above. Operating margins for the period increased 510 basis points due to higher net sales and a decrease in operating expenses.

| Prepaid Debit Segment Segment Performance Net sales for the Prepaid Debit segment for third quarter of 2020 increased 1% to $20.6 million. The increase was primarily due to timing of certain customer sales, partially offset by reduced sales volumes primarily associated with COVID-19 impacts, including lower retail store traffic. Operating margin of 38% for the third quarter remained flat when compared to the same period in 2019. For the first nine months of 2020, net sales decreased 8% to $48.7 million. This decrease was primarily a result of reduced sales volumes due to COVID-19 impacts, including lower retail store traffic.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements 13 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 commentary, all reported on a continuing operations basis: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Net Leverage Ratio, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate, Income from Operations excluding litigation settlement gain, and operating margin excluding litigation settlement gain. 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 herein. Additional information relating to certain financial measures, including our non-GAAP financial measures, is available in our most recent earnings release and on our website at http://investor.cpicardgroup.com.

| Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 14 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a continuing operations basis and is defined as EBITDA adjusted for litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation; stock-based compensation expense; estimated sales tax expense, restructuring and other charges; loss on Revolving Credit Facility termination; foreign currency gain or loss; litigation settlement gain; and other items that are unusual in nature, infrequently occurring or not considered part of our core operations. Adjusted EBITDA is also a defined computation in our First Lien Term Loan and Senior Credit Facility agreements, which generally conforms to the definition above, and impacts certain credit measures and covenants, including a covenant requiring the Company to have at least $25 million Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in our Senior Credit Facility) for the previous four consecutive fiscal quarters in total at the end of each quarterly period ending on or after March 31, 2020. 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 (loss) 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. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA presented in this commentary, the measure as defined in our credit facilities may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one- time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. EBITDA EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all on a continuing operations basis. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance, and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net (loss) income or net (loss) income from continuing operations as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.
