(NYSE: GPGI), a diversified multi-industry platform for companies with great positions in good industries, today announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Dave Cote, GPGI’s Executive Chairman, noted: “The first quarter was highlighted by record sales at CompoSecure, reflecting the effectiveness of implementing the Resolute Operating System for both growth and profitability. At Husky, we unfortunately encountered unanticipated market headwinds due to oil and resin price volatility and continued tariff uncertainty. As a result, we are taking necessary cost actions while continuing to make strategic investments for future growth. We will navigate these market headwinds, implement ROS, and become a stronger business as we exit the year.” Tom Knott, GPGI’s Chief Investment Officer, added: “While the abrupt macroeconomic headwinds facing Husky overshadowed the record sales at CompoSecure, we remain focused on driving cultural change, ROS implementation, and continued seed planting to make 2026 a foundational year that sets us up to deliver best-in-class top line growth, margin expansion, and free cash flow generation.” Financial Results – First Quarter 2026 (1) Pro Forma measures reflect financial results as if the business combination with Husky Technologies had occurred on January 1, 2025. (2) Adjusted measures reflect financial results as if GPGI consolidated the results of GPGI Holdings, L.L.C., including its operating businesses CompoSecure and Husky, for the periods shown.

With strong gross margin improvement in the quarter, we are beginning to realize the benefits of the CompoSecure Operating System (COS), which is driving improved execution and enhanced profitability.”

Mr. Wilk added, “We saw exciting customer launches during the quarter including programs with Chase Sapphire Reserve, XP Legacy, Crypto.com, MGM Rewards and Gemini, among others, showcasing the benefits that our innovative products deliver as part of a card program’s overall value proposition. The Arculus team was also proud to announce the new Coinbase One Card, the first crypto card on the American Express network. Looking ahead, we anticipate sustained market demand as we focus on accelerating growth, delivering innovation, and executing against our strategic priorities.”

Dave Cote, CompoSecure’s Executive Chairman, stated: “CompoSecure’s second quarter results demonstrate our continued momentum and reinforce our position for long-term sustainable growth. The focus on establishing operational excellence through the CompoSecure Operating System and building a high-performance culture is starting to deliver improved profitability. While still early in unlocking CompoSecure’s full potential, we are encouraged by the team’s progress in driving efficiencies throughout the organization and accelerating commercial momentum with new customer wins.

Our team remains focused on continuing to implement the CompoSecure Operating System (“COS”) throughout the business and we are beginning to see these ongoing efforts yield results.”

Mr. Wilk added, “We delivered record results for Arculus, generating another net positive contribution in Q1 as we are seeing metal card customers beginning to future-proof their offerings by bundling Arculus Authenticate with payment capabilities.

Dave Cote, CompoSecure’s Executive Chairman, stated: “I am pleased with our first quarter results and with the team’s continued engagement implementing COS. Our metal cards enhance brand loyalty and deliver accelerated returns for our customers through superior acquisition, spending, and retention.

We also made significant progress in fortifying our balance sheet in 2024, reducing net debt by 60% to $120 million.

During the fourth quarter, we made strategic investments in the CompoSecure Operating System (COS) to deliver consistent excellence across the organization and focused on planting seeds to drive both organic and inorganic growth.

Jon Wilk, President and CEO of CompoSecure, commented: “We are very pleased with our third quarter performance which included double-digit growth for both Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA. The quarter was driven by strong international execution, continued growth of new programs, and the growing adoption of our innovative payment cards. I am also happy to announce that we signed a two-year contract extension with Capital One.”

“Although we are reporting a GAAP Net Loss for the quarter, this was entirely driven by the significant improvement in our stock price this quarter, which impacts the valuation of non-cash items. Importantly, our Adjusted Net Income was up 18% compared to the year-ago period, which we believe more accurately reflects our operating performance.”

Mr. Wilk continued: “We are also enhancing our capabilities to drive accretive M&A and remain focused on strategic investments in our business. To support this growth, we are revising our Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year to account for additional investments aimed at accelerating our momentum.”

Dave Cote, CompoSecure’s Executive Chairman, added: “As we embark on this next chapter, I want to express how excited I am about our long-term opportunities as well as our challenges ahead. We were attracted to the business because it hit the six hot buttons we used to evaluate acquisitions at Honeywell: Great position, good industry, technology differentiator, organic and inorganic sales growth, and margin expansion. That being said, this is a pivotal time for the company, and we are committed to building a culture centered on high performance, improving efficiency through the CompoSecure Operating System, reinvigorating organic growth, and driving accretive M&A. That work will require investment and you will see that reflected in our full year estimate.”

We continue to support our customer’s ability to offer highly attractive premium card programs such as the limited edition Amex White Gold Card and the first Wells Fargo and Expedia co-branded metal card, as well as driving growth with innovative products through our Echo Mirror Card and LED card.

“I am also excited to announce an expansion of our strategic partnership with Fiserv to include the marketing and reselling of Arculus Authenticate. Building on our already successful metal payment card collaboration, this partnership will enhance the ability to bring FIDO 2 secure authentication capabilities to Fiserv’s extensive customer base of financial institutions and fintechs.”

As just announced in a separate press release, the David Cote Family is investing $372 million through Resolute and Dave Cote will become the executive chairman of the board of directors of CompoSecure upon closing of the transaction. Resolute will become the majority shareholder of the Company and will focus on deploying operational and M&A best practices to drive long-term value creation for all shareholders. Importantly, the transaction will remove the dual-share structure, delivering higher retained annual cash flow and better alignment of all shareholders with the elimination of the tax distributions related to the Class B units.

Mr. Wilk continued, “I am thrilled to have David Cote serve as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. David’s career and track record is unparalleled, setting the standard for how organizations can simultaneously drive both short and long-term performance to realize their full potential. We believe his experience steering global public companies, such as Honeywell and Vertiv, will be invaluable to CompoSecure as we enter a new phase of growth and value creation for shareholders, employees, and customers.”

Wilk added, “Today, we have also amended our credit facility with lower rates, an upsized revolving line of credit, a longer term and more flexible covenants. This reflects the confidence our lenders have in our business and provides capacity for continued growth and to retire our exchangeable notes maturing in December 2026.”

Announces up to $40 Million Securities Repurchase Program to Capitalize on Strong Financial Position

SOMERSET,

N.J., March 6, 2024 – CompoSecure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMPO), a leader in metal payment cards, security, and authentication solutions, today announced its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“Our fourth quarter provided a strong close to 2023, capping off another year of record revenue and profitability. In addition, profitability was in-line with our original guidance issued in March 2023,” said Jon Wilk, President and CEO of CompoSecure. “Sustained U.S. customer demand continued to drive our domestic net sales, which highlighted a record quarter and was up 9% for the year."

“We have a long history of delivering profitable growth while maintaining our leadership position in the global metal payment card market, which we do not believe is fully reflected in the valuation of our securities. I am excited to announce that the CompoSecure board of directors has approved a repurchase program for up to $40 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, warrants and/or convertible notes over the next three years to provide us with a new mechanism to unlock shareholder value.”

Mr. Wilk added: “Looking ahead, we expect to maintain a strategic approach to capital allocation that continues to focus on driving organic growth and paying down debt but now also includes additional flexibility to repurchase securities or other opportunities to deliver shareholder value. We believe CompoSecure is well-positioned for another record year as we execute on our growth and profitability objectives.”

Q4 2023 Financial Highlights (vs. Q4 2022)

•Net Sales: Net Sales increased 7% to $99.9 million compared to $93.8 million. The increase was driven by continued domestic growth in CompoSecure’s metal payment card business, partially offset by select clients more tightly managing inventory, and lower international sales which is a more variable market due to global economic uncertainty.

•Gross Profit: Gross Profit increased to $52.9 million or 52.9% of Net Sales, compared to $50.3 million or 53.6%.

•Net Income/EPS: Net Income increased 39% to $31.0 million compared to $22.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by prudent operating expense controls, as reflected by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as changes to the fair value of warrant liabilities, earnout consideration liability and derivative liability. Net Income per share attributable to class A common shareholders was $0.17 (Basic) and (Diluted), compared to $0.14 (Basic) and (Diluted) in the year-ago period.

•Adjusted Net Income/Adjusted EPS: Adjusted Net Income (a non-GAAP measure) increased 30% to $23.1 million compared to $17.7 million in the year-ago period.

•Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) increased 22% to $37.2 million compared to $30.6 million, with the increase driven by net sales growth and operating expense reductions.

•Net Sales: Net Sales increased 3% to $390.6 million compared to $378.5 million. The increase was primarily driven by continued domestic growth in CompoSecure’s metal payment card business, which was up 9%. This was offset by lower international sales.

•Gross Profit: Gross Profit was $209.1 million or 53.5% of Net Sales, compared to $219.6 million or 58.0%. The decrease was primarily due to lower production efficiencies from new and innovative card constructions, as well as the impact of inflationary pressure on wages and materials.

•Net Income/EPS: Net Income was $112.5 million compared to $131.8 million. The decrease was due to lower gross profit, changes to the fair value of warrant liabilities, earnout consideration liability and derivative liability, offset by a decrease in operating expenses.

CompoSecure Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revises Full Year Outlook, Which Lowers Net Sales Target to $386-$392 million While Capturing Low End of Previously Issued Adjusted EBITDA Outlook

SOMERSET,

N.J., November 9, 2023 – CompoSecure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMPO), a leader in metal payment cards, security, and authentication solutions, today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“During the quarter, we exceeded our record US revenue from the year-ago period overcoming global economic uncertainty that impacted our international business, which was down albeit on a smaller revenue base,” said Jon Wilk, President and CEO of CompoSecure.

“Consumer demand for premium metal cards remains strong based on card issuer feedback and industry sentiment. At the same time, select customers are more tightly managing inventory levels, which impacted order volumes in Q3 and into Q4. As a result, we are revising our full year 2023 outlook which lowers our sales guidance and captures the low end of our previously issued Adjusted EBITDA guidance.

Mr. Wilk added: “We are on track to achieve the most successful year in our company's history in terms of Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and Operating Cash Flow, following a record year of growth and profitability in 2022. We continue to optimize our balance sheet and prudently manage operating expenses while investing in growth, including incrementally reducing our outstanding debt this quarter to further improve our leverage ratio.”

Q3 2023 Financial Highlights (vs. Q3 2022)

·Net Sales: Net Sales were $96.9 million compared to $103.3 million. The decrease was driven by lower international sales, which is a more variable market due to global economic uncertainty, customer mix and a smaller sales base. Domestic sales increased modestly compared to the record year-ago period.

·Gross Profit: Gross Profit was $48.9 million or 50.5% of Net Sales, compared to $61.8 million or 59.8%. The decrease was primarily due to lower production efficiencies from new and innovative card constructions, as well as an impact from inflationary pressure on wages and materials.

·Net Income/EPS: Net Income increased 74% to $38.0 million compared to $21.9 million. The increase was primarily driven by prudent operating expense controls, as reflected by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as changes to the fair value of warrant liabilities, earnout consideration liability and derivative liability. Net Income per share attributable to class A common stockholders was $0.39 (Basic) and $0.34 (Diluted), compared to $0.18 (Basic) and (Diluted) in the year-ago period.

·Adjusted Net Income/Adjusted EPS: Adjusted Net Income (a non-GAAP measure) increased 10% to $21.7 million compared to $19.8 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP measure), which includes both class A and class B shares, was $0.27 (Basic) and $0.24 (Diluted) compared to $0.26 (Basic) and $0.22 (Diluted) in the year-ago period (see reconciliation of non-GAAP measures shown in table below).

·Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) increased 9% to $35.5 million compared to $32.7 million, with the increase driven in-part by the aforementioned operating expense controls.

·Balance Sheet: At September 30, 2023, the Company’s secured debt leverage ratio decreased to 1.48x compared to 2.92x at September 30, 2022.

Recent Operational Highlights

·Customers launched several new metal card programs this quarter including Amex Hilton Aspire, Amex SAS Elite and Axis Magnus, to name a few.

·Arculus Authenticate hardware passkeys received official designation as a Microsoft FIDO2 security key vendor and is now compatible within the Microsoft ecosystem, offering users a reliable and user-friendly secure passwordless authentication solution

·Arculus Cold Storage enhancements included:

·Custom tokens across three additional chains—Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon; now supporting 95% of crypto tokens by market cap.

·Expanded Arculus integration with MetaMask, bolstering security by enabling the Arculus card as a signing device for safe offline private key storage.

·Cross-chain DeFi capabilities via WalletConnect across major chains—Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche.

2023 Financial Outlook

The Company is revising its guidance for full year 2023 results, and now expects net sales to be in the range of $386-$392 million (previously $400-$425 million) and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $141-$146 million (previously $145-$155 million).

SOMERSET, N.J., August 14, 2023 -- 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.

Recent Operational Highlights

·Continued metal payment card momentum including Barclays UK, Citizen’s Bank, Mars (a Turkish based Fintech), and Step Financial.

·Signed new Arculus customers for the quarter including Plug Wallet, an online crypto wallet, and Radix DeFi, a decentralized network, among others.
