Littleton, Colo. March 12, 2018 -- CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS; TSX: PMTS) (“CPI Card Group” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017.

Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI, stated, “Our fourth quarter operating results were broadly in line with our expectations, including generating positive operating and free cash flow. We continue to see long-term opportunities for CPI in the broader payments market. Beginning in late 2017, we undertook a comprehensive review of CPI’s business and market opportunities. As we moved into 2018, we developed a plan that will enable us to better serve the needs of our customers, further capitalize on our addressable market, and deliver shareholder value. The foundation of this strategy is to be the partner of choice by providing market-leading quality products and service with a cost competitive business model. We will do this through steadfast attention to four key priorities: deep customer focus, market-leading quality products and customer service, a market competitive business model, and continuous innovation.”

Mr. Scheirman continued, “We have already implemented several initiatives designed to reach our objectives. We re-aligned our U.S. organization to better serve our customers by enhancing product and service delivery, improving decision making, accelerating speed to market, and improving our operational efficiencies. We have also begun the process of consolidating our card personalization operations in the U.S. from three facilities to two facilities in order to better serve our customers with market leading quality and increased operational efficiencies. I am encouraged with the progress we have made thus far in executing against our plans, and believe we have taken the appropriate first steps toward getting CPI fit for growth.” 

Lillian Etzkorn, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We were pleased to make progress in improving our operating cash flow trend in the fourth quarter. Looking to 2018, we will continue to invest in our business to enhance our products and solutions, and drive efficiencies to improve our overall cost structure. We believe that we have adequate cash and liquidity to support our business plan. Our


 

focus is on driving profitable growth, returning to consistent positive cash flow generation, and delivering shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Consolidated Financial Highlights

Net sales were $65.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, representing a decrease of 3.6% from the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, net sales were $254.9 million, representing a decrease of 17.4% year-over-year. GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter of 2017 was $14.6 million, or a loss of $1.31 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or a loss of $0.36 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2017, net loss was $22.0 million, or a loss of $1.98 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share in the prior year. The fourth quarter and full year 2017 net loss included non-cash impairment charges of $19.1 million, which were not deductible for tax purposes, and also included a one-time income tax benefit of approximately $7.1 million related to the United States tax reform legislation signed in December. 

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $3.4 million, compared with $8.6 million in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2017, Adjusted EBITDA was $25.5 million, compared with $57.2 million in the prior year.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Segment Information

U.S. Debit and Credit:

Net sales were $37.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, representing a decrease of 13.4% from the fourth quarter of 2016. 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 fourth quarter compared with the fourth quarter of 2016 and lower EMV® card average selling prices, as well as a $1.2 million decrease in card personalization and fulfillment services revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2017, U.S. Debit and Credit segment net sales were $158.9 million, representing a decrease of 23.9% from $208.8 million in the prior year.


 

U.S. Prepaid Debit:

Net sales were $19.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, representing an increase of 50.1% from the fourth quarter of 2016. The year-over-year increase in U.S. Prepaid Debit segment net sales was driven primarily by sales volume increases across the retail prepaid customer base, and higher sales related to CPI On-DemandTM. For the year ended December 31, 2017, U.S. Prepaid Debit segment net sales were $61.1 million, representing an increase of 1.8% from $60.1 million in the prior year.

U.K. Limited:

Net sales were $7.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, representing a decrease of 4.1% from the fourth quarter of 2016.  The lower net sales resulted from decreased volumes with some larger customers during the quarter, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates during the quarter.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, U.K. Limited segment net sales were $31.1 million, representing an increase of 4.8% from $29.7 million in the prior year. Foreign currency exchange rates for the full year continued to have a negative impact on the Company’s sales during the year.  On a constant currency basis, U.K. Limited segment net sales for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased 10.7% compared with the prior year.

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

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share exclude the impact of non-cash impairment charges, amortization of intangible assets, litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation, stock-based compensation expense, performance bonuses in connection with the EFT Source acquisition, restructuring and other charges, 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 Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) 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 non-cash impairment charges, litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation, stock-based compensation expense, performance bonuses in connection with the EFT Source acquisition, 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; 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.
