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 second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2019.

“Our customer-centric strategy continues to yield positive top-line momentum, as reflected in the 15% year-over-year net sales growth we have delivered so far this year,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. “During the first half, our U.S. Debit and Credit segment increased net sales 24% on greater volume and product diversification, and our Prepaid Debit segment grew net sales 6% on top of a particularly strong first half in 2018. We’ve executed solidly towards our goal of 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 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.

Second Quarter and First Half 2019 Consolidated Financial Highlights from Continuing Operations

Net sales increased 8.9% to $66.9 million in the second quarter of 2019, bringing year-to-date net sales to $133.8 million, a year-over-year increase of 15.0%. During the second quarter, the Company recognized in income from operations a $6.0 million gain related to the cash settlement of litigation. The litigation has been disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings since the Company brought the complaint in 2017, and details of the settlement are disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed earlier today. The gain from this settlement, as well as a more favorable net sales mix, drove second quarter and first half 2019 income from operations to $10.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively, compared with $2.7 million and $0.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively.

Second quarter 2019 net income from continuing operations was $1.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018. For the year-to-date periods, net loss from continuing operations was $1.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in 2019 compared to a net loss of $6.5 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the $6 million litigation settlement gain, was $8.5 million and $16.5 million for the second quarter and first half 2019, respectively. Year over year, second quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was down 4.4%, and first half 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was up 28.1%.

Second Quarter and First Half Segment Information from Continuing Operations

U.S. Debit and Credit:

Second quarter net sales of $51.1 million represented an increase of 16.5% year over year. This contributed to a first half net sales year-over-year increase of 23.5%, to $100.0 million. These increases were driven by a double-digit percentage increase in EMV® card manufacturing volumes, propelled by dual-interface EMV® cards, as well as higher card personalization and fulfillment sales.

U.S. Prepaid Debit:

Second quarter net sales increased 3.5% year over year to $16.0 million and first half net sales increased 5.7% year over year to $32.7 million. These increases were on top of strong 2018 net sales, which included portfolio wins that, as expected, did not recur in the 2019 periods.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow from Continuing Operations

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $9.2 million, inclusive of the $6.0 million litigation settlement gain, and spent $0.5 million on capital expenditures. This resulted in adjusted free cash flow generation of $2.7 million in the second quarter. As expected, and consistent with historical seasonal cash flow patterns, the Company’s operations generated a use of cash during the first half of 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents was $17.5 million, an increase of $9.6 million from March 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s revolving credit facility had no borrowings outstanding and available borrowings of $20.0 million. The revolving credit facility matures August 17, 2020.

Total debt principal outstanding, comprised of the Company’s First Lien Term Loan, was $312.5 million at June 30, 2019, unchanged from December 31, 2018. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, total debt was $306.8 million as of June 30, 2019. The Company’s First Lien Term Loan matures in August 2022.

John Lowe, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We continue to be encouraged by solid year-over-year net sales growth which, in turn, yielded greater operating leverage and enabled us to generate cash in the second quarter. 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, 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 impairments; 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 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.

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.
