Fourth Quarter Net Sales Increased 22% to $125 Million; Net Income Increased 148% to $7 Million; Adjusted EBITDA Increased 10% to $22 Million
Full Year Net Sales Increased 8% to $481 Million; Prepaid Debit Net Sales Increased 26% and Exceeded $100 Million
Outlook for 2025 Projects Mid-to-high Single-digit Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA Growth
LITTLETON, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS) (“CPI” or the “Company”), a payments technology company providing a comprehensive range of payment cards and related digital solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 and provided its financial outlook for 2025.
Fourth quarter net sales increased 22% to $125.1 million, net income increased 148% to $6.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% to $21.9 million, compared to the prior year period. Sales growth was led by strong performance from the prepaid business, driven by sales of more complex, higher-value packaging solutions and expansion into new customer verticals, and increased sales of contactless debit and credit cards and personalization services.
For the full year, net sales increased 8% to $480.6 million; net income decreased 19% to $19.5 million, primarily due to debt refinancing costs; and Adjusted EBITDA increased 3% to $91.9 million. Prepaid Debit segment net sales reached $106.5 million, an increase of 26% from prior year.
“We are pleased to report strong results in the fourth quarter, led by exceptional performance from our prepaid business,” said John Lowe, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Overall, we delivered solid sales growth in 2024, as the prepaid increase was complemented by a return to growth from our debit and credit segment.”
Lowe added, “We also refined our strategy during the year, enhancing our focus on expanding into new adjacent market opportunities, and we made progress in broadening our digital offerings and gaining traction with new customer verticals such as healthcare payment solutions.”
The Company provided its initial financial outlook for 2025, projecting mid-to-high single-digit net sales and Adjusted EBITDA growth. The Company expects to gain share in growing core markets in 2025 and plans to continue to invest in its market expansion strategy.
The Company believes long-term growth trends for the U.S. card market remain strong, led by consumer card growth, widespread adoption of eco-focused cards and the ongoing conversion to contactless cards. Based on figures released by the networks, Visa and Mastercard® U.S. debit and credit cards in circulation increased at a compound annual growth rate of 9% for the three-year period ending September 30, 2024.
2024 Business Highlights
- CPI continues to be a leading provider of eco-focused payment card solutions in the U.S. market, with more than 350 million eco-focused debit, credit, and prepaid card or package solutions sold since launch. This includes more than 200 million eco-focused prepaid card solutions, consisting of either eco-focused cards or eco-focused packages, since certification in 2023.
- CPI continues to be a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service-based instant issuance solutions in the U.S., with more than 16,000 Card@Once® installations across more than 2,000 financial institutions.
- The Company continued to advance its market expansion strategies, adding new digital solutions offerings for its customers including push provisioning capabilities for mobile wallets and payment card fraud solutions.
- The Company executed $9 million of share repurchases in 2024.
- CPI completed a debt refinancing, issuing $285 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and entering into a new $75 million ABL revolving credit facility, while redeeming the $268 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026.
- The Company completed a secondary offering of 1.38 million shares of common stock sold by its then-majority stockholder group, reducing the stockholder group’s ownership position from 56% of shares outstanding to 43%.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Net sales increased 22% year-over-year to $125.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
- Debit and Credit segment net sales increased 12% to $91.9 million, driven by increased sales of contactless cards, including eco-focused cards, and card personalization services.
- Prepaid Debit segment net sales increased 59% to $33.4 million, reflecting strong sales to existing customers, including sales of higher-value packaging solutions and expansion of the healthcare payment solutions business.
Gross profit increased 20% to $42.6 million and gross profit margin of 34.1% decreased from 34.4% in the prior year fourth quarter, as benefits of operating leverage from sales growth were offset by impacts of product mix in the Debit and Credit segment.
Income from operations increased 51% to $15.9 million, driven by sales growth and prior year costs associated with the former CEO’s retention agreement, partially offset by increases in other SG&A Net income increased 148% to $6.8 million, or $0.57 diluted earnings per share, due to the increase in income from operations and a lower effective tax rate. Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% to $21.9 million.
Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights
Net sales increased 8% year-over-year to $480.6 million in 2024.
- Debit and Credit segment net sales increased 4% to $375.3 million, driven by increased sales of contactless cards, led by eco-focused cards, and card personalization services, partially offset by lower sales of other payment cards.
- Prepaid Debit segment net sales increased 26% to $106.5 million, reflecting strong sales to existing customers, including sales of higher-value packaging solutions and expansion of the healthcare payment solutions business.
Gross profit increased 10% to $171.2 million and gross profit margin increased from 35.0% in the prior year to 35.6%, driven by operating leverage from sales growth.
Income from operations increased 2% to $62.8 million due to increased sales and gross margin, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses, including higher performance-based employee incentive compensation expense. Net income decreased 19% to $19.5 million, or $1.64 diluted earnings per share, primarily due to $8.8 million of pre-tax debt refinancing costs incurred in 2024, partially offset by higher income from operations and a lower effective tax rate. Adjusted EBITDA increased 3% to $91.9 million.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash Flow
The Company generated cash from operating activities of $43.3 million in 2024, which compared to $34.0 million in 2023, and Free Cash Flow of $34.1 million, which compared to $27.6 million in the prior year. The increase in cash generation compared to the prior year was primarily driven by higher net income, excluding debt refinancing costs, and improved working capital, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.
As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents was $33.5 million. There were $285 million of 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and no borrowings from the ABL revolving credit facility outstanding at year-end.
On October 2, 2024, the Company completed a secondary public offering of 1.38 million shares of its common stock sold by its then-majority stockholder group. The Company did not offer any shares of common stock in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders.
“We generated strong cash flow in 2024, while simultaneously investing for future growth opportunities,” said Jeff Hochstadt, Chief Financial Officer of CPI. “We also completed several key capital actions during the year, including debt refinancing, stock repurchases, and a secondary offering, that we believe will enhance shareholder value over time.”
The Company continues to focus its capital structure and allocation priorities on investing in the business, including strategic acquisitions; deleveraging the balance sheet; and returning funds to stockholders.
Outlook for 2025
The Company’s outlook for 2025 projects mid-to-high single-digit growth for both net sales and Adjusted EBITDA, with net sales growth led by its Debit and Credit segment. The Adjusted EBITDA outlook reflects expectations for investment in digital solutions and other opportunities to drive long-term growth.
Free Cash Flow in 2025 is expected to be slightly below the 2024 levels due to higher expected cash interest payments on the Company’s Senior Notes and increased capital spending. The Company expects its 2025 year-end Net Leverage Ratio to be lower than the year-end 2024 level of 3.0 times.

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, all reported on a continuing operations basis: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow, LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Leverage Ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis between fiscal periods and serve as a basis for certain Company compensation programs. 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 EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a continuing operations basis and is defined as EBITDA (which represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted for litigation; stock-based compensation expense; estimated sales tax expense; restructuring and other charges, including executive retention and severance; costs related to production facility modernization efforts; loss on debt extinguishment; 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 in Exhibit E. 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 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin as shown in Exhibit E is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales.
We define LTM Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA (defined previously) for the last twelve months. LTM Adjusted EBITDA is used in the computation of Net Leverage Ratio, and is reconciled in Exhibit E.
Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities 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 make principal payments on outstanding debt and financing lease liabilities. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, cash (used in) provided by operating activities or any other measures of liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP.
Financial Expectations for 2025
We have provided Adjusted EBITDA expectations for 2025 on a non-GAAP basis because certain reconciling items are dependent on future events that either cannot be controlled or cannot be reliably predicted because they are not part of the Company’s routine activities, any of which could be significant.
Net Leverage Ratio
Management and various investors use the ratio of debt principal outstanding, 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.
