LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS; TSX: PMTS.TO) (“CPI Card Group” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

“Our first quarter results reflect solid execution against our strategic priorities as we continue to focus on strengthening the business and achieving our vision,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. “During the quarter, we delivered 22% year-over-year net sales growth, improved our net loss by 45% and grew adjusted EBITDA 101%, as a result of strong performance across all of our business units. We continued to make investments in the business to enhance our ability to be responsive to our customers’ needs and market opportunities. This strong start to 2019 is encouraging and underscores our commitment to being the partner of choice for our customers by providing market-leading quality products and customer service with a market-competitive business model.”

Financial results for all 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 had historically been reported as the U.K. Limited segment, has been accounted for as discontinued operations, and comparative financial information has been restated in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) requirements.

First Quarter 2019 Consolidated Financial Highlights from Continuing Operations

Net sales were $66.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 21.9% from the first quarter of 2018. First quarter 2019 income from operations was $3.6 million, compared with a loss from operations of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. First quarter 2019 net loss was $3.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $5.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2019 was $8.0 million, up 101% from the prior year first quarter. These year-over-year improvements are primarily the result of net sales growth and favorable mix towards higher-margin products and services.

First Quarter Segment Information from Continuing Operations

U.S. Debit and Credit:

Net sales increased 31.7% year-over-year to $48.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, driven by increased volumes from EMV® financial payment card manufacturing, including dual-interface EMV® cards, as well as card personalization and fulfillment. Card@Once® year-over-year growth was also a contributor to U.S. Debit and Credit net sales growth in the first quarter.

U.S. Prepaid Debit:

Net sales increased 7.9% to $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018, driven by additional sales volumes from our existing customer base, including timing of certain customer sales.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow from Continuing Operations

As expected, and consistent with historical cash flow patterns due to the nature of the business, the Company’s operations generated a use of cash during the first quarter. For the first quarter of 2019, cash used in operating activities was $10.2 million, resulting primarily from changes in working capital related to initiatives to support the growth of the business. First quarter 2019 capital expenditures totaled $2.1 million, and free cash flow was a negative $12.3 million.

As of March 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.9 million. The Company’s revolving credit facility, which matures in August 2020, had no borrowings outstanding and available borrowings of $20.0 million as of March 31, 2019.

Total debt principal outstanding, comprised of the Company’s First Lien Term Loan, was $312.5 million at March 31, 2019, unchanged from December 31, 2018. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, total debt was $306.3 million as of March 31, 2019. The Company’s First Lien Term Loan matures in August 2022.

John Lowe, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We continue to execute on our plan to strengthen the business. Our solid start to 2019 was punctuated by strong year-over-year growth in net sales, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins, as our success in growing the top line yielded greater operating leverage. We believe we have adequate cash and liquidity to support our business plan.”

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, and 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 impairments, litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation; 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 term in our existing 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 capital lease obligations, less cash. Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage as shown in Exhibit E is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures from continuing operations. 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.
