CPI Card Group Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Results

CPI Card Group Inc. (OTCQX: PMTS; TSX: PMTS) (“CPI Card Group” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.

“Fourth quarter results were strong, rounding out another year of crisp execution of our customer-centric strategy,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. “We believe we gained market share across all of our business units during 2019 by leveraging our robust products and solutions. We delivered our eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year net sales growth, highlighted by a 24% increase in net sales from our U.S. Debit and Credit segment driven by increased demand for our dual interface EMV® products, including our Second Wave™ card featuring a core made with recovered ocean-bound plastic. We generated strong top-line results and continued to leverage our business model, which delivered significantly improved bottom-line performance.”

Scheirman continued, “We believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on market opportunities, including continued strong growth of dual interface card conversions in the U.S. and strong market demand for innovative and differentiated products, such as our Second Wave card and Card@Once® instant issuance solution. We remain committed to our customer-centric strategy by continuing to deliver innovative and diversified products and solutions.”

Financial results for the comparative 2018 periods, including non-GAAP measures, discussed in this press release reflect continuing operations unless otherwise noted. The sale of CPI U.K., which occurred in August 2018 and had historically been reported as the U.K. Limited segment, was accounted for as discontinued operations and comparative financial information has been restated in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) requirements.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Financial Highlights from Continuing Operations

Net sales increased 6% to $72.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, bringing full year net sales to $278.1 million, a year-over-year increase of 9%. Excluding Canada, net sales were up 9% and 12% for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively. Fourth quarter income from operations was $3.9 million, up from a loss from operations of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. For the full year, income from operations increased $21.0 million year over year to $25.5 million, which includes a previously disclosed $6.0 million cash litigation settlement gain received in the second quarter of 2019.

Fourth quarter 2019 net loss from continuing operations was $2.1 million, or $0.19 per share, an improvement of 71% from the net loss of $7.2 million, or $0.65 per share in the fourth quarter of 2018. Full year 2019 net loss from continuing operations improved to $4.3 million, or $0.39 per share, from the net loss of $14.8 million, or $1.33 per share, in 2018.

Fourth quarter and full year Adjusted EBITDA improved 74% and 39%, respectively, compared with the year-ago periods to $8.8 million and $37.6 million, respectively.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Segment Information from Continuing Operations

U.S. Debit and Credit:

Net sales increased 24% year over year to $61.6 million in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2019, net sales were $213.1 million, a year-over-year increase of 19%. This full year 2019 increase was driven by a continued shift towards higher-priced dual interface EMV® cards, including Second Wave, and strong performance in personalization, including Card@Once®.

U.S. Prepaid Debit:

As expected, 2019 net sales declined year over year when compared with the record net sales year in 2018 for the U.S. Prepaid Debit segment, which benefited from portfolio wins that did not recur in 2019. Net sales for the fourth quarter and full year 2019 were $11.2 million and $64.3 million, respectively, down 35% and 7%, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2018.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow from Continuing Operations

As of December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents was $18.7 million. Total long-term debt principal outstanding, comprised of the Company’s First Lien Term Loan, was $312.5 million at December 31, 2019, unchanged from December 31, 2018. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, total debt was $307.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The Company’s First Lien Term Loan matures in August 2022.

During 2019, the Company invested more than $10 million in additional inventory to support the growth of the business, which led to a reduction in cash flows provided by operating activities compared to the prior year. Cash provided by operating activities was $3.0 million for the full year, inclusive of a $6.0 million cash litigation settlement gain recorded in the second quarter. Cash outflows for capital expenditures for the year were $4.2 million and adjusted free cash flow was negative $7.2 million. Fourth quarter 2019 adjusted free cash flow was a positive $5.1 million.

New $30 Million Credit Facility

On March 6, 2020, the Company entered into a new $30 million floating rate credit facility with two of its First Lien Term Loan lenders. The new facility provides the Company with approximately $27 million, net of issuance costs, in additional cash at closing, which it plans to use towards execution of its strategic plan and to further capitalize on market opportunities, such as the dual interface conversion and strong market demand for differentiated and innovative products and solutions.

The Company’s revolving credit facility, which was set to expire in August of 2020 and had no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2019 or on the closing date of the new facility, was terminated concurrently with the closing of the new credit facility. The new facility, which is senior in priority to the Company’s First Lien Term Loan, matures on May 17, 2022 and is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

John Lowe, Chief Financial Officer, said, “The success we’ve had in driving top-line growth and margin expansion underscores the operating leverage in our business model and our continued success in winning new business and market share. We are pleased to see the confidence demonstrated by our lending partners, who have provided us a new $30 million credit facility. This facility provides us greater resources to build upon our success and continue to execute on our strategic plan.”

2020 Strategy and Market Outlook

The Company’s vision is to be the partner of choice by providing market-leading quality products and customer service with a market-competitive business model. The Company will continue to execute on its four key strategies:

  • Deep customer focus,
  • Market-leading quality products and customer service,
  • Continuous innovation, and
  • Market-competitive business model.

The Company believes it is well-positioned to meet customer and market demands through its strong portfolio of differentiated products and solutions. In addition, due to the operating leverage in the Company’s business model, the Company believes it can drive incremental profitability as the top line grows.

Our expectations for the U.S. market in 2020 with respect to the Company’s portfolio of products and solutions are:

U.S. Debit and Credit Segment

Secure Card

The Company expects steady card manufacturing volume growth. In addition, the Company expects the migration to dual interface cards will continue its strong growth and will become a larger part of the overall card market. With over 20 years of card manufacturing experience and a growing portfolio of innovative and highly differentiated products within its Secure Card business, the Company believes it is well-positioned to continue to win in the market, inclusive of the market conversion to dual interface and contactless cards. In addition, with Second Wave payment cards, featuring a core made with recovered ocean-bound plastic, the Company offers a solution to support the sustainability initiatives of its customers, which bolsters the Company’s position in the marketplace.

Card@Once®

The Company expects strong growth in the number of small and medium sized financial institution locations offering instant issuance, the Company’s primary market for Card@Once® today. With nearly 11,000 printers in the field across over 1,600 financial institutions, the Company’s Card@Once® instant issuance offering is the leading Software-as-a-Service solution in the market. The Company believes it will continue to win new business and expand its addressable market.

Personalization

The Company expects low but steady market volume growth in the small and medium sized financial institution personalization market, driven by continued reissuances and the broader dual interface market conversion. The Company has invested in broadening its product and solution capabilities, including CPI On-Demand. The Company believes its enhanced capabilities and high level of customer service will enable it to win incremental business from its current customers and expand its customer base.

U.S. Prepaid Segment

The Company expects the open loop prepaid card market to be directionally flat. With its market-leading quality and innovative solutions, including the use of differentiated card materials and secure and sustainable packaging capabilities, the Company believes it will continue to win in the space.

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, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Total Net Sales Growth Excluding Canada. 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; a litigation settlement gain in the second quarter of 2019; stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other charges; 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 on Exhibit E. Adjusted EBITDA is also a defined computation in our credit agreement, which generally conforms to the definition above, and impacts certain credit measures and compliance targets within the credit agreement. 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, non-cash 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-cash, non-operating 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 can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the measure 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. Further, management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA, or "net debt leverage", as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. The metric “total debt less cash” includes borrowed long term debt, letters of credit, and finance lease obligations, less cash. 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 from 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.

Total Net Sales Growth Excluding Canada

Total Net Sales Growth Excluding Canada, is a computation of the change in the Company’s Net Sales over the prior year period, excluding the net sales attributable to the Canadian operations. Canada sales were included in the Other segment during 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. The Canadian subsidiary was sold April 1, 2019, and the sale agreement excluded the portion of the business relating to Financial Payment Cards. That business migrated to the Company’s operations in the U.S. or to other service providers in 2019. The Canada-related sales in the second, third, and fourth quarter of 2019 represents the Financial Payment Card business sales that migrated to the Company’s operations in the U.S. We computed the Total Net Sales excluding Canada, and the resulting year over year Total Net Sales Growth percentage excluding Canada, in Exhibit E. We believe that this financial measure is useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provides improved comparability between fiscal periods.
