CompoSecure Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

– Secures Long-Term Contract Renewal for One of Its Largest Customers –

– Reaffirms 2023 Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance –

SOMERSET, N.J., Aug. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CompoSecure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMPO), a leader in metal payment cards, security, and authentication solutions, today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“We continue to demonstrate the performance and consistency of our business as our second quarter results were in-line with our expectations despite continued macroeconomic uncertainties,” said Jon Wilk, President and CEO of CompoSecure. “General sentiment from our customers around the premium payment card market remained positive during the quarter. We are poised to continue to drive growth and cash flow generation for the remainder of the year, delivering new and innovative products to market while executing on our sales and profitability objectives.”

“We are also pleased to announce a five-year contract extension through December 2028 as the exclusive provider of metal cards for one of our largest customers that was set to expire at the end of this year (see filed 8-K). We have now signed long-term renewals with our top two customers.”

“Throughout our 20 year history, our company has been driven by delivering unmatched value and business impact as well as innovation, while establishing long-term partnerships across the market, and I am proud that we continue to demonstrate that unique value proposition.”

Q2 2023 Financial Highlights (vs. Q2 2022)

  • Net Sales: Net Sales increased 1% to $98.5 million compared to $97.2 million, with the increase primarily driven by continued domestic growth in the Company’s metal payment card business, which was up 11%. This was partially offset by lower international sales, which is a more variable market due to customer mix and a smaller sales base. International sales remained in-line with the Company’s targeted revenue mix of approximately 20%.
  • Gross Profit: Gross Profit was $53.9 million or 54.7% of Net Sales, compared to $58.9 million or 60.5%. The decrease was primarily due to higher material costs resulting from inflationary pressures and product mix. Gross margin was in-line with the Company’s previously stated mid-50% target.
  • Net Income/EPS: Net Income was $32.7 million compared to $60.7 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a $25.4 million change in non-cash mark to market adjustments related to the fair value of warrant liabilities, earnout consideration liability and derivative liability. Net Income per share attributable to class A common stockholders was $0.31 (Basic) and $0.29 (Diluted), compared to $0.56 (Basic) and $0.52 (Diluted) in the year-ago period.
  • Adjusted Net Income/Adjusted EPS: Adjusted Net Income (a non-GAAP measure) was $22.9 million compared to $25.3 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP measure), which includes both class A and class B shares, was $0.29 (Basic) and $0.25 (Diluted) compared to $0.33 (Basic) and $0.29 (Diluted) in the year-ago period (see reconciliation of non-GAAP measures shown in table below).
  • Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $36.9 million compared to $39.7 million, with the decrease primarily driven by lower gross margin.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions, or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning the Company’s possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. In some instances, these statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of the date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors, among others, could affect the Company’s future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the Company’s forward-looking statements: the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers, compete within its industry and retain its key employees; the possibility that the Company may be adversely impacted by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or others; future exchange and interest rates; and other risks and uncertainties, including those under “Risk Factors” in filings that have been made or will be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and that may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor its business, as well as evaluate its underlying historical performance and to measure incentive compensation, as we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures depict the true performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and controllable events, enabling the Company to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. Due to the forward-looking nature of the financial guidance included above, specific quantification of the charges excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures included in such financial guidance, including with respect to depreciation, amortization, interest, and taxes, that would be required to reconcile the non GAAP financial measures included in such financial guidance to GAAP measures are not available, so it is not feasible to provide accurate forecasted non-GAAP reconciliations without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included, and no reconciliation of the forward looking non-GAAP financial measures is included. In addition, the Company’s debt agreements contain covenants that use a variation of these measures for purposes of determining debt covenant compliance. The Company believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that its management uses in analyzing operating results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS should not be considered as measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. Accordingly, these key business metrics have limitations as an analytical tool. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s liquidity and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Please refer to the tables below for the reconciliation of GAAP measures to these non-GAAP measures for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
