CompoSecure Reports Record Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Raises 2022 Guidance

 

- Net Sales up 56% YoY to a Record $103.3 Million -

- Net Income up 17% YoY to $21.9 Million or $0.18 EPS -

- Adjusted EBITDA up 33% YoY to a Record $32.7 Million -

- Expects 2022 Net Sales at the High End of Guidance; Raises 2022 Adjusted EBITDA Outlook -

 

SOMERSET, N.J., November 2, 2022 -- CompoSecure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMPO), a leader in payment cards, security and authentication solutions, today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

 

Jon Wilk, President and CEO of CompoSecure commented, “We are very excited to announce another record quarter for Net Sales, as we continue to capitalize on the high demand for our premium metal card products through strong sales execution, deep customer relationships, and increased international demand.”

 

He added, “In addition, the Company has achieved better than anticipated profitability with Net Income up 17% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA up 33% year-over-year, through a combination of our ability to drive significant economies of scale, a commitment to operational excellence and efficiency, and a measured approach to Arculus long-term growth investments.”

 

Mr. Wilk continued, “Overall, we believe the Arculus platform is well positioned to support today’s growing security, payment, and authentication needs across many industries and we are increasingly focused on executing our B2B sales and marketing efforts. We also remain confident in our Arculus cold storage offering but consistent with last quarter, uncertainty in the digital asset market persists and we are working to better time investment to growth.”

 

“Based on our strong performance year-to-date, we are narrowing the Net Sales guidance range to the high end of our previously announced guidance and now expect Net Sales for the year between $370-$380 million. We are also raising our 2022 Adjusted EBITDA guidance and now expect it to range from $130-137 million given our continued margin expansion and profitability,” Wilk concluded.

Q3 2022 Financial Highlights (vs. Q3 2021)

 

·Net Sales: Net Sales increased 56% to $103.3 million compared to $66.2 million, with the increase primarily driven by continued growth in the Company’s premium payment card business, customer expansion and international demand.
·Gross Profit: Gross Profit increased 71% to $61.8 million or 59.8% of Net Sales, compared to $36.1 million or 54.6%. The increase in Gross Profit and margin was primarily driven by higher card issuance volumes and operational efficiencies.
·Net Income/EPS: Net Income increased 17% to $21.9 million compared to $18.7 million. Net Income per share attributable to class A common stockholders was $0.18 per basic and diluted share.
·Adjusted Net Income/Adjusted EPS: Adjusted Net Income (a non-GAAP measure) was $19.8 million. Adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP measure), which includes both class A and class B shares, was $0.26 per basic share and $0.22 per diluted share (see reconciliation of non-GAAP measures shown in table below).
·Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) increased 33% to $32.7 million compared to $24.6 million, with the increase primarily driven by Net Sales growth and margin expansion, as well as managing investments based on growth expectations.
·Balance Sheet: As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $15.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $373.1 million of total debt, which includes approximately $233 million of term loan, $10 million of revolver, and $130 million of exchangeable notes.

Recent Operational Highlights

2022 Financial Outlook

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 outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or others; the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; 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 conditions (including the rapidly evolving conflict between Russian and the Ukraine), business, and/or competitive factors; future exchange and interest rates; and other risks and uncertainties included under “Risk Factors” in other Company 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 quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non - GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles ge nerally 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 EP S a re 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 w ell 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 con trollable 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 GA AP 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 pu rposes 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, Adjust ed 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 co mpo nents 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 inc ome 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 net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 202 2 and September 30, 2021.
