LITTLETON, Colo.--()--CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS; TSX: PMTS.TO) (“CPI Card Group” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

“We delivered solid results once again this quarter as we continue to execute on our customer-centric strategy,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. “During the third quarter, our U.S. Debit and Credit segment performed well, delivering 7% net sales growth, expanding operating margins and securing a meaningful new business win with the launch of Second Wave™ financial payment cards made with recovered ocean-bound plastic. This solid performance, along with our strong U.S. Prepaid segment results, further propelled our business to improve our bottom-line results and significantly increase Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter and year to date. Through commitment to our key strategies, we continue to execute towards achieving our vision 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.

Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2019 Consolidated Financial Highlights from Continuing Operations

Net sales increased 1.0% to $71.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, bringing year-to-date net sales to $205.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 9.7%. Excluding Canada, net sales were up 3.3% and 12.9% for the third quarter and year to date, respectively. Third quarter income from operations was $8.0 million, up 70.0% year over year. For the year-to-date period, income from operations increased $16.7 million year over year to $21.6 million, which includes a previously disclosed $6.0 million cash litigation settlement gain received in the second quarter of 2019.

Third quarter 2019 net loss from continuing operations was $0.7 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per share in the third quarter of 2018. For the year-to-date periods, net loss from continuing operations was $2.2 million, or $0.20 per share, in 2019 compared to a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.68 per share, in the first nine months of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA was $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2019. For the year-to-date period, Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the $6 million cash litigation settlement gain recorded in the second quarter, was $28.8 million. Year over year, Adjusted EBITDA increased 34.4% and 30.7% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively.

Third Quarter and First Nine Months Segment Information from Continuing Operations

U.S. Debit and Credit:

Third quarter net sales of $51.5 million represented an increase of 7.3% year over year. This contributed to a year-over-year net sales increase of 17.5% in the year-to-date period, to $151.5 million. These increases were driven by continued strong performance in personalization and fulfillment services, a shift towards higher-priced dual-interface EMV cards, and strong net sales from Card@Once.

U.S. Prepaid Debit:

Net sales were $20.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, representing a decline of 3.5% compared with the third quarter of 2018. For the first nine months of 2019, net sales were $53.2 million, an increase of 2.0% compared with the year-ago period, which benefited from strong 2018 net sales including portfolio wins that, as expected, did not recur in the 2019 periods.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow from Continuing Operations

During the third quarter of 2019, cash used in operating activities was $2.0 million and included continued investments in inventory to support the growth of the business. Third quarter capital expenditures were $0.6 million. This resulted in negative adjusted free cash flow during the third quarter of $2.7 million. Year to date, cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million, inclusive of the $6.0 million cash litigation settlement gain recorded in the second quarter. Year to date, and consistent with seasonal patterns, adjusted free cash flow was negative $12.3 million, and was impacted by year-to-date inventory investments of $12.3 million.

As of September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents was $14.3 million and no borrowings were outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility had available borrowings of $20.0 million and matures August 17, 2020.

Total debt principal outstanding, comprised of the Company’s First Lien Term Loan, was $312.5 million at September 30, 2019, unchanged from December 31, 2018. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, total debt was $307.3 million as of September 30, 2019. The Company’s First Lien Term Loan matures in August 2022.

John Lowe, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We are encouraged by the progress we have made driving top-line and profit growth by executing on our key strategies, which enhanced our operating leverage as we continue to focus on the long-term growth of the business. As we continue to build upon this success, we believe we have adequate cash and operating cash flows 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, 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 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.

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 and third 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.
