CPI Card Group Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results

Fifth Consecutive Year of Strong Sales Growth; Full Year Net Sales Increased 27% to $476 Million; Net Income Increased 129% to $37 Million; Adjusted EBITDA Increased 28% to $98 Million

Fourth Quarter Net Sales Increased 36% to $126 Million; Net Income Increased 1,754% to $12 Million; Adjusted EBITDA Increased 100% to $27 Million

Company Anticipates Continued Share Gains in Expected Slower-Growth Market in 2023; Initial Outlook Projects Mid-Single Digit Net Sales Growth, Mid-to-High Single Digit Adjusted EBITDA Growth, and Strong Improvement in Cash Flow and Net Leverage

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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022 and provided its initial financial outlook for 2023.

Full-year net sales increased 27% to $475.7 million, a record level for the Company. Growth was driven by strong customer demand for contactless cards, including eco-focused cards, and Software-as-a-Service-based instant issuance solutions. Net income increased 129% to $36.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 28% to $97.7 million, driven by the strong sales growth.

“Our outstanding fourth quarter performance capped another strong growth year for CPI, and we believe the Company gained substantial market share,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “There was strong demand for cards in the U.S. market in 2022, and we won new business and share of wallet through our innovative products, end-to-end solutions, market-leading quality, and proactive inventory management while the industry was facing supply-chain challenges.”

For 2023, the Company expects to continue to gain market share overall, but anticipates market growth will not be as strong as 2022. The Company’s initial outlook for 2023 projects mid-single digit net sales growth, with higher growth for the Debit and Credit segment, which represented 82% of 2022 net sales, partially offset by expectations for Prepaid Debit segment sales to be similar to 2022 levels. The Company expects mid-to-high single digit Adjusted EBITDA growth for 2023, Free Cash Flow to more than double, and year-end Net Leverage Ratio improvement to between 2.5x and 3.0x.

The Company also announced today that Chief Financial Officer Amintore Schenkel has informed the Company that he will be resigning from his position in 2023 due to family-related personal reasons. Mr. Schenkel intends to remain in his role while the Company conducts a search for his replacement and assist in the transition of his responsibilities to the new Chief Financial Officer.

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.

For the five years ending December 31, 2022, the Company has delivered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% in net sales, while net income has improved from a loss in 2017 to $37 million in 2022 and Adjusted EBITDA has increased at a 33% CAGR. Over the same time period, gross profit margins have increased from 30% to 37% and Net Leverage has decreased from 12x to 3x. The Company expects long-term market growth to be aided by the gradual transition to higher-priced contactless cards, including eco-focused cards, as well as continued financial payment card growth.

2022 Business Highlights

  • Generated incremental net sales from customer demand for higher-priced contactless cards, as the U.S. payment card market continues its gradual transition to contactless solutions.
  • Continued to be a leading provider of eco-focused payment card solutions in the U.S. market. CPI sales of eco-focused cards increased 70% in 2022 and the Company has sold more than 90 million eco-focused cards since launch in late 2019.
  • Experienced ongoing high demand for Card@Once® Software-as-a-Service-based instant issuance solutions. The Company has more than 14,000 Card@Once® installations across nearly 2,000 financial institutions in the U.S.
  • Reduced the outstanding balance on the Company’s 8.625% Senior Secured Notes by $25 million through a combination of redeeming $20 million of notes in the first quarter of 2022 and repurchasing $5 million of notes in the fourth quarter. The Company also increased the credit limit on its ABL revolving credit facility from $50 million to $75 million in 2022. The Company’s Net Leverage Ratio was 3.0x at December 31, 2022, an improvement from 3.8x at the end of 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

Net sales increased 36% year-over-year to $126.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

  • Debit and Credit segment net sales increased 35% to $104.9 million. Growth was strong across the Debit and Credit portfolio, including increased sales of higher-priced contactless cards, personalization services, and Card@Once® instant issuance solutions.
  • Prepaid Debit segment net sales increased 39% to $22.1 million, driven both by new customer additions and growth with existing customers.

Fourth quarter gross profit increased 54% to $47.5 million and gross profit margin was 37.6%, which compared to 33.2% in the prior year fourth quarter. The year-over-year increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to operating leverage from higher net sales, including benefits from price increases, partially offset by inflationary impacts on production costs.

Fourth quarter income from operations increased 146% to $22.7 million; net income increased 1,754% to $12.5 million, or $1.06 diluted earnings per share; and Adjusted EBITDA increased 100% to $27.2 million. Profitability growth was primarily driven by higher net sales and the resulting operating leverage. Net income growth also benefited from a lower effective tax rate as the result of certain adjustment items that negatively impacted the prior year and favorably impacted the current year period.

Full Year 2022 Financial Highlights

Net sales increased 27% year-over-year to $475.7 million for the full year.

  • Debit and Credit segment net sales increased 32% to $390.6 million. Growth was primarily driven by increased sales of higher-priced contactless cards, including eco-focused cards, and Card@Once® instant issuance solutions.
  • Prepaid Debit segment net sales increased 9% to $86.1 million, driven by new customer additions and growth with existing customers.

Gross profit increased 24% to $175.8 million and gross profit margin was 36.9%, which compared to 37.7% in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to inflationary impacts on production costs, partially offset by increased operating leverage from higher net sales, including the benefits of price increases.

Year-over-year, income from operations increased 33% to $79.1 million; net income increased 129% to $36.5 million, or $3.11 diluted earnings per share; and Adjusted EBITDA increased 28% to $97.7 million.

Profitability benefited from higher net sales and the resulting operating leverage, partially offset by increased production costs and higher SG&A expenses, including increased compensation-related expenses and professional services fees. The increase in net income was also aided by a decrease in other expenses due to the impact of pre-tax debt refinancing costs of $7.6 million incurred in the 2021 first quarter.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents was $11.0 million. Cash provided from operating activities in 2022 was $31.3 million and capital expenditures were $17.9 million, yielding Free Cash Flow of $13.5 million. This compared to $20.2 million of cash generated from operating activities, $10.1 million of capital expenditures and $10.2 million of Free Cash Flow in 2021, which benefited from $9.8 million in cash tax refunds, primarily related to CARES Act filings. Free Cash Flow in 2022 reflected working capital usage of $28.6 million, driven by a $19.7 million increase in accounts receivables as a result of higher fourth quarter sales and an $10.7 million increase in inventories to support customer demand.

The Company generated $19.6 million of cash flow from operating activities and $16.2 million of Free Cash Flow in the fourth quarter of 2022, including a working capital benefit from a $4 million reduction in inventories compared to the third quarter level.

There were $285 million of 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and $5 million of borrowings from the ABL revolving credit facility outstanding at year-end. The Company retired $25 million of notes principal during the year, utilizing cash balances and revolving credit facility proceeds. Subsequent to year-end, the Company repurchased an additional $5 million of its notes in the first quarter of 2023.

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 potentially return funds to stockholders.

“We delivered record results in 2022 and further strengthened our financial position,” said Amintore Schenkel, Chief Financial Officer of CPI. “The Company is well-positioned to execute its strategies in 2023 and beyond to drive continued growth and financial improvement.”

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; loss on debt extinguishment; 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 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 (continuing operations) 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, nor does it reflect the cash impacts of our discontinued operations. 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.
