We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 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 presentation, all reported on a continuing operations basis: Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Net Leverage Ratio, and 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. Additional information relating to certain financial measures, including our non-GAAP financial measures, is available in our most recent earnings release and on our website at http://investor.cpicardgroup.com.

15 Adjusted Net Income non-GAAP reconciliation: GAAP Net Income $ 8,642 $ 3,035 Loss on debt extinguishment 5,048 92 Make-whole interest expense 2,635 — Tax effect of adjustments (1,909) (51) Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income $ 14,416 $ 3,076 Adjusted Net Income (% Change 2021 vs. 2020) 369% Adjusted Earnings per share non-GAAP reconciliation: GAAP Earnings per share - Diluted: $ 0.74 $ 0.27 Loss on debt extinguishment 0.43 0.00 Make-whole interest expense 0.22 — Tax effect of adjustments (0.16) (0.00) Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings per share - Diluted $ 1.23 $ 0.27 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 11,720,148 11,242,272 Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 Dollars in thousands Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted Net Income Adjusted Net Income is computed as GAAP net income adjusted for the loss on debt extinguishment and make-whole premium interest expense, net of their income tax impact. These items are associated with the debt extinguishment and refinancing completed during the first quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2020. An effective tax rate of 25% and 55% was used to calculate the adjustments net of income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, based on an estimate of the impact of these adjustments to tax expense for respective periods. We believe this is useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding debt extinguishment costs and related payments which are not indicative of our core operating performance and may obscure trends useful in evaluating our results of operations. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share Adjusted diluted earnings per share is computed as GAAP Diluted earnings per share adjusted for the per share impacts from the loss on debt extinguishment and make-whole interest premium expense, net of their per share income tax impact. These items are associated with the debt extinguishment and refinancing completed during the first quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2020. An effective tax rate of 25% and 55% was used to calculate the per share adjustments net of income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, based on an estimate of the impact of these adjustments to tax expense for respective periods. We believe this is useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding debt extinguishment costs and related payments which are not indicative of our core operating performance and may obscure trends useful in evaluating our results of operations.

16 Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all on a continuing operations basis. 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; stock-based compensation expense; estimated sales tax expense, restructuring and other charges; loss on debt extinguishment; 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. 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. (1) Represents estimated sales tax (benefit) expense relating to a contingent liability due to historical activity in certain states where it is probable that the Company will be subject to sales tax plus interest and penalties. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company revised its prior period financial statements to adjust immaterial items, primarily due to estimated sales tax expense relating to 2017 through the second quarter of 2020. Refer to Note 1 of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and Note 2 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for an explanation of the immaterial prior period adjustments. (2) Represents restructuring severance charges. (3) The Company terminated and repaid its Senior Credit Facility and First Lien Term Loan during the first quarter of 2021 and expensed the unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount. Additionally, the Company terminated its previous Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2020 and expensed the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs

17 Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures LTM Adjusted EBITDA We define LTM Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA (defined previously) for the last twelve months. (1) Represents net legal costs incurred with certain patent and shareholder litigation. (2) Represents estimated sales tax (benefit) expense relating to a contingent liability due to historical activity in certain states where it is probable that the Company will be subject to sales tax plus interest and penalties. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company revised its prior period financial statements to adjust immaterial items, primarily due to estimated sales tax expense relating to 2017 through the second quarter of 2020. Refer to Note 1 of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and Note 2 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for an explanation of the immaterial prior period adjustments. (3) Represents restructuring severance charges. (4) The Company terminated and repaid its Senior Credit Facility and First Lien Term Loan during the first quarter of 2021 and expensed the unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount. Additionally, the Company terminated its previous Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2020 and expensed the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs. Free Cash Flow We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operating activities (continuing operations) less capital expenditures. 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. Reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities - (GAAP) to Free Cash Flow: Cash provided by operating activities $ 22.6 $ 8.8 $ 22.7 $ 12.0 Capital expenditures for plant, equipment and leasehold improvements (1.2) (0.7) (3.7) (1.6) Free Cash Flow $ 21.4 $ 8.1 $ 19.0 $ 10.4 Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 ($ in millions) Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 ($ in millions)

18 Supplemental Financial Measures Net Leverage Ratio Management and various investors use the ratio of total debt, plus finance lease obligations, less cash divided by LTM Adjusted EBITDA, or “Net Leverage Ratio,” as a measure of our financial strength when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers.
