LITTLETON, Colo.--()--CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS; TSX: PMTS) (“CPI Card Group” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

  • Total net sales were $65.8 million, a sequential increase of 17.6% over Q1 2017, and a decrease of 10.7% compared with the prior year period.
  • Products net sales decreased 15.6% year-over-year to $33.8 million, primarily due to a decline in EMV® chip cards sold and lower EMV® card average selling prices, partially offset by increased sales from an RFID loyalty card order produced for a large U.K. retailer.
  • Services net sales decreased 4.8% year-over-year to $32.0 million, due to a decrease in card personalization and fulfillment sales, partially offset by increased sales in the U.S. Prepaid Debit Segment.
  • Net loss was $2.2 million, or $(0.04) loss per diluted share, compared with net loss of $0.3 million, or $(0.01) loss per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2017 was break-even, compared with adjusted net income of $2.6 million and $0.05 adjusted earnings per diluted share in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $8.7 million, or 13.2% of net sales, compared with $12.0 million, or 16.3% of net sales, in the prior year period.

“While we delivered improved second quarter 2017 revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance compared to the first quarter, it has recently become apparent that we will not be able to achieve our prior full-year 2017 guidance,” said Steve Montross, president and chief executive officer of CPI Card Group. “We see two primary factors driving our revised 2017 outlook. First, we expect to sell fewer EMV cards in the second half of 2017 than previously anticipated, predominantly due to lower overall industry volumes and our capturing less new sales with existing customers. Second, growth from our new solutions is taking longer than expected to develop. More specifically, while we continue to build a very strong customer backlog for our Print on Demand solution, several new customers that we expected to onboard in the second half of 2017 will not transition onto our platform until next year. Also, some of the modest levels of revenue that we previously anticipated from metal card sales in 2017 will now most likely occur in 2018. We are on track to achieve greater than $10 million in cost savings during 2017, and we remain focused on generating additional, sustainable efficiencies in our business.”

Mr. Montross continued, “Our long-term outlook beyond 2017 remains positive. We expect payment cards in circulation to continue to grow, which supports a healthy longer-term outlook for card reissuance volumes, and the EMV migration continues to progress in the U.S. In addition, we continue to see strong customer demand for our newer Print on Demand and Card@Once solutions, and growing customer interest in our metal card products. Looking ahead, we will intensify our efforts to drive growth by leveraging our entire suite of products and solutions, provide exceptional customer service, and focus on seamless execution.”

2017 Financial Outlook

CPI’s financial outlook for 2017 is revised as follows:

  • Net sales between $260 million and $275 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA between $32 million and $40 million
  • GAAP loss per diluted share between $(0.15) and $(0.06)
  • Adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share between $(0.03) and $0.06

Second Quarter 2017 Segment Information

U.S. Debit and Credit:

Net sales were $42.2 million in the second quarter of 2017, representing a decrease of 16.9% from the prior year period. The decrease in U.S. Debit and Credit segment net sales was driven predominantly by a decline in the number of EMV® chip cards sold in the second quarter compared with the second quarter of 2016 and lower EMV® card average selling prices, as well as a $1.7 million decrease in card personalization and fulfillment services revenue.

U.S. Prepaid Debit:

Net sales were $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2017, representing an increase of 3.6% from the second quarter of 2016. The year-over-year growth in U.S. Prepaid Debit segment net sales was driven primarily by increased activity across our customer base, partially offset by lower prices attributed to product mix.

U.K. Limited:

Net sales were $11.0 million in the second quarter of 2017, representing an increase of 37.8% from the prior year period, driven primarily by sales of an RFID loyalty card order produced for a large U.K. retailer customer, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and decreased sales activity of retail gift and other cards. On a constant currency basis, U.K. Limited net sales increased 54.7% compared with the second quarter of 2016.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, Liquidity & Other Select Financial Information

At June 30, 2017, the Company had $17.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and an undrawn $40.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $20.0 million was available for borrowing.

Total debt principal outstanding was $312.5 million at June 30, 2017, unchanged from December 31, 2016. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, recorded debt was $302.9 million as of June 30, 2017.

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $3.3 million compared with cash provided by operating activities of $16.4 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures totaled $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared with $3.2 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $(5.8) million, compared with $13.2 million in the prior year period.

Interest expense, net, was $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 up slightly from $5.1 million in the prior year period due primarily to higher average interest rates on our outstanding debt balance.

Dividends per Share

The Company has discontinued its quarterly dividend of $0.045 per share. The dividend discontinuation is part of CPI’s plan to utilize a greater portion of the Company’s free cash to reinvest back into the business to fund its growth initiatives and to reduce debt. CPI remains focused on creating long-term shareholder value by making the strategic investments necessary to position the Company to return to sustainable profitable growth, while also strengthening its balance sheet and maintaining financial flexibility. By discontinuing the dividend, the Company will save approximately $10 million annually, providing it with additional liquidity and financial flexibility.

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: Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Constant Currency. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. 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, and a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures contained in our 2017 guidance in Exhibit F to this press release.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation, performance bonuses in connection with the EFT Source acquisition, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring items, net of their income tax impact. A 35% tax rate is used to calculate Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share. We believe that Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share are useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our results of operations.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. 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 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 defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation, performance bonuses in connection with the EFT Source acquisition, 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; or (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. 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 corporate 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.

Free Cash Flow

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

Constant Currency

Constant currency results show our current period operating results as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained the same as those in effect in the prior year period. We present certain constant currency results to facilitate comparisons to our historical operating results.
