LITTLETON, CO.--()--CPI Card Group Inc. (OTCQX: PMTS; TSX: PMTS) (“CPI” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.

“Our 2020 results were strong, driven by another year of solid execution of our customer-centric strategy whereby net sales increased 12% and our profitability significantly increased,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. “Despite challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe we gained overall market share in 2020 and executed key initiatives to even better position CPI to meet market and customer needs in 2021 and beyond.”

Scheirman continued, “We believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on market opportunities, including the ongoing transition to contactless cards in the U.S. and the market demand for innovative and differentiated products such as our eco-focused Second Wave® contactless product, a debit or credit card featuring a core made with recovered ocean-bound plastic, and Card@Once®, our Software-as-a-Service instant issuance solution that enables financial institutions to instantly issue debit and credit cards in branch.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Highlights

Net sales increased 16% and 12% year-over-year to $84.1 million and $312.2 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively. Gross profit increased 41% and 21% year-over-year in the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively. Gross profit margin increased to 36.8% in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 30.2% in the prior year period. Gross profit margin increased to 35.3% from 32.8% in the full year 2020 compared to the prior year.

Income from operations was $12.4 million and $38.4 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively, compared with $3.7 million and $24.7 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2019, respectively. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company recognized a $6.0 million gain related to the cash settlement of litigation, which was included in income from operations.

Fourth quarter 2020 net income was $7.3 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million, or a $0.21 loss per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019. For the full year 2020, net income was $16.1 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million, or a $0.46 loss per diluted share, in 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 99% and 53% year-over-year to $17.5 million and $57.5 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Segment Information

Debit and Credit:

Debit and Credit Segment net sales increased 13% year over year to $69.6 million in the fourth quarter and 18% to $250.4 million for full year 2020. Growth for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 was driven primarily by higher volumes of contactless 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 higher volumes from our existing customers, new customers and from COVID-19 related government disbursement work. This growth was partially offset primarily 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 primarily impacted by COVID-19 due to reduced hours of operation, lack of access or closure of certain bank branches.

Prepaid Debit:

Prepaid Debit Segment net sales increased 34% year over year to $14.9 million in the fourth quarter and decreased 1% to $63.6 million for full year 2020. Growth for the fourth quarter was primarily due to increased customer demand. For the full year, the decrease was the result of lower sales volumes primarily associated with COVID-19 impacts, including lower retail store traffic.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents was $57.6 million. Cash provided by operating activities was $11.9 million and capital expenditures were $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, yielding Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $8.1 million. For the full year 2020, cash provided by operating activities was $22.1 million and capital expenditures were $7.1 million, yielding Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $15.0 million. This compares with the full year 2019 when cash provided by operating activities was $3.0 million, or a $3.0 million cash usage when excluding the $6.0 million cash received from a litigation settlement, and capital expenditures were $4.2 million, resulting in Adjusted Free Cash Flow use of $7.2 million. For the full year 2020, cash provided by operating activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased $19.1 million and $22.2 million year-over-year, respectively.

Total 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 December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, $8.0 million of debt principal was classified as a current liability as a result of an excess free cash flow calculation, which the company will offer to prepay pursuant to the terms of the debt agreements. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, total long-term debt, net of current maturities, was $328.7 million as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s Senior Credit Facility matures in May 2022 and the First Lien Term Loan matures in August 2022.

“Solid execution led to strong top-line growth and further leveraging of our business model, enabling us to significantly improve our bottom line and generate positive free cash flow”, said John Lowe, Chief Financial Officer. “Our full year financial and operating performance is reflective of solid progress against our key strategic priorities. We believe we are well positioned and have adequate cash and liquidity to support our business plan moving forward.”

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.

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, all on a continuing operations basis) 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.
