Current report
We experienced reduced demand from some of our customers for certain products and services during 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which impacted our financial and operating results. We believe the reduced demand was the result of economic and supply chain-related concerns, whereby certain customers increased their inventory of our products during 2022 and then focused on reducing their inventory levels in subsequent periods and may continue to further reduce their inventory levels before returning to normalized purchasing behavior.
Current report
Additionally, liquidity concerns in the banking and financial services industry led to takeover of some banking and financial institutions by industry regulators during this period, which also affected demand.
Current report
Although we believe the environment is improving and we experienced increased card volume sales and results in our Debit and Credit segment during the third quarter of 2024, we may experience reduced demand if any of the foregoing events continue or reoccur in the future.
Current report
Calculation not meaningful
Current report
Gross profit and gross profit margin increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to operating leverage from sales growth described above.
Current report
Operating expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to increased compensation-related expenses, including increased employee performance-based incentive compensation and executive severance, partially offset by decreased impacts from an executive retention agreement entered into with our former CEO in 2023.
Current report
Operating expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to increased compensation-related expenses, including increased employee performance-based incentive compensation, stock compensation, salary expense, and executive severance, partially offset by decreased impacts from an executive retention agreement entered into with our former CEO in 2023.
Current report
Interest expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to payment of an early redemption premium of $5.8 million related to the redemption of the $267.9 million 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”). Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 also increased due to the impact of the higher interest rates on the $285.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) issued in July 2024 compared to the 2026 Senior Notes.
Current report
Loss on Debt Extinguishment:
Current report
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a $3.0 million loss on debt extinguishment relating to the unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the redemption of the 2026 Senior Notes and the refinancing of our ABL Revolver Credit Agreement in July 2024.
Current report
Other expense, net increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to expenses incurred related to a secondary offering of our common shares. See Note 10, “Stockholders’ Deficit” of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Current report
On July 11, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), we completed a private offering by our wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI CG Inc. (the “Issuer”), of $285.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and related guarantees at an issue price of 100%. The notes and related guarantees were offered and sold in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to certain non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
Current report
Net proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem the entire principal balance of $267.9 million of 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”) as of the Closing Date, and to pay related fees, an early redemption premium of 2.156%, and other expenses. The early redemption premium paid is recorded in “Interest, net” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Current report
The 2029 Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2029. Interest is payable on the 2029 Senior Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The 2029 Senior Notes are guaranteed by us and our domestic subsidiaries (other than the Issuer), and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. We may be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2029 Senior Notes, upon the occurrence of certain events including a change of control or certain asset sales.
Current report
On the Closing Date, we and CPI CG Inc. as borrower (the “Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender, administrative agent and collateral agent, providing for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2029 ABL Revolver”) of up to $75.0 million (the “Maximum Revolver Amount”). The 2029 ABL Revolver is guaranteed by us and our subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries), and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to customary exceptions.
Current report
The 2029 ABL Revolver consists of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans provided by lenders, with a sublimit on letters of credit outstanding at any time of $10.0 million. The 2029 ABL Revolver also includes an uncommitted accordion feature whereby the Borrower may increase the 2029 ABL Revolver commitment by an aggregate amount not to exceed $25.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The 2029 ABL Revolver matures on the earliest to occur of July 11, 2029 and the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the 2029 Senior Notes.
Current report
As of the Closing Date, we had $4.0 million of outstanding borrowings under a prior Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into in March 2021 (the “2026 ABL Revolver”). We used initial borrowings under the 2029 ABL Revolver, together with cash on hand and proceeds under the notes, to repay in full and terminate the 2026 ABL Revolver and to pay related fees and expenses, and will use future borrowings for general corporate purposes.
Current report
The 2029 ABL Revolver includes limitations on the Borrower’s ability to borrow in certain situations, including limitations based on the calculation of borrowing capacity and further limitations that are triggered if the amount available to borrow under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of $7.5 million and 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount. The borrowing capacity represents the net availability under the ABL Revolver and is calculated as the lesser of a) the total of certain eligible assets, including cash, accounts receivable and inventories, further reduced by stated contribution percentages and adjustments (“Borrowing Base”) and b) the Maximum Revolver Amount. The Borrowing Base is further reduced by credit line reserves, letters of credit, as well as the loan ledger balance outstanding on the ABL Revolver. Additionally, commencing with the month immediately following a date on which borrowing capacity is below the greater of $7.5 million and 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and until such time that borrowing capacity equals or exceeds the greater of $7.5 million and 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount for 30 consecutive days, the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement for the ABL Revolver) of at least 1.00 to 1.00, calculated for the trailing 12 months, in order to borrow under the ABL Revolver.

We have experienced reduced demand from some of our customers for certain products and services during 2023 through the first half of 2024. This reduced demand impacted our financial and operating results during this period and may continue to have an impact on future periods.

On March 15, 2021, we completed an offering of $310.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”) and related guarantees at an issue price of 100%. The 2026 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.625% per annum and mature on March 15, 2026. Interest is payable on the 2026 Senior Notes on March 15 and September 15 of each year.
Previous report
On March 15, 2021, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association providing for the 2026 ABL Revolver. On March 3, 2022, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, which amended the 2026 ABL Revolver. The amendment, among other things, increased the available borrowing capacity to $75.0 million, increased the uncommitted accordion feature to $25.0 million and revised the interest rate provisions to replace the prior LIBOR benchmark with updated benchmark provisions using the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. On October 11, 2022, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, which amended the 2026 ABL Revolver to adjust certain monthly document delivery terms and to clarify the treatment of certain inventory. We primarily utilize our 2026 ABL Revolver to provide general liquidity and to support shorter term financing requirements.

Our ability to make investments in and grow our business, service our debt and improve our debt leverage ratios, while maintaining strong liquidity, depends on our ability to generate excess operating cash flows through our operating subsidiaries. Although we can provide no assurances, we believe that our cash flows from operations, combined with our current cash levels, and our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2026 ABL Revolver”) with available borrowing capacity of $69.6 million as of June 30, 2024, will be adequate to fund debt service requirements and provide cash, as required, to support our ongoing operations, capital expenditures, lease obligations, share repurchases and working capital needs. Our future cash flows could be impacted by a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions, especially those impacting our customers, and the pricing, terms and availability of goods and services that we purchase, and financings that we enter into.

Cash provided by operating activities decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $4.1 million from $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to lower net income and changes in working capital. Working capital changes included incentives related to a customer contract entered into in the first quarter of 2024, and a $5.0 million payment pursuant to an agreement entered into on June 2, 2023 with the Company’s prior Chief Executive Officer, who departed in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by lower employee performance incentive compensation payments in 2024 related to 2023 performance as compared to those made in 2023 related to 2022 performance. We anticipate inventory levels to continue to be higher in 2024 compared to 2023 levels as a result of the capacity reservation agreement we entered into with one of our suppliers in 2022, which will be in effect through 2025. Additionally, we anticipate cash flows from operating activities to be negatively impacted in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to incentives related to the customer contract as described above.

Borrowings under the amended 2026 ABL Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable term SOFR adjusted for a credit spread, plus an applicable interest rate margin. We may select a one, three or six-month term SOFR, which is adjusted for a credit spread of 0.10% to 0.30% depending on the term selected. The applicable interest rate margin ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% depending on the average excess availability of the facility for the most recently completed quarter. The unused portion of the 2026 ABL Revolver commitment accrues a monthly unused line fee, between 0.375% to 0.50% per annum, multiplied by the aggregate amount of Revolver commitments less the average Revolver usage during the immediately preceding month.
