- Net Sales: Net Sales increased 1% to $100.9 million compared to $99.9 million.
- Gross Profit: Gross Profit was $52.5 million or 52.1% of Net Sales, compared to $52.9 million or 52.9%.
- Net Income(Loss)/EPS: Net Income/(Loss) was $(48.4) million compared to $31.0 million. The decrease was driven by an improvement to the Company's stock price during the quarter, which led to a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, earnout consideration liability and derivative liability. Net Income/(Loss) per share attributable to Class A common shareholders was $(0.53) (Basic) and $(0.53) (Diluted), compared to $0.17 (Basic) and $0.17 (Diluted) in the year-ago period.
- Adjusted Net Income/Adjusted EPS: Adjusted Net Income (a non-GAAP measure) increased 8% to $24.7 million compared to $22.8 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.27 (Basic) and $0.20 (Diluted) compared to $0.29 (Basic) and $0.24 (Diluted) in the year-ago period.
- Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) decreased 10% to $33.6 million compared to $37.2 million primarily driven by investment in our M&A capabilities.
See reconciliation of non-GAAP measures shown in table below.
FY 2024 Financial Highlights (vs. FY 2023)
- Net Sales: Net Sales increased 8% to $420.6 million compared to $390.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by continued domestic growth of 7%, and international growth of 11%.
- Gross Profit: Gross Profit was $219.2 million or 52.1% of Net Sales, compared to $209.1 million or 53.5%. The decline in gross margin 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(Loss)/EPS: Net Income was $(83.2) million compared to $112.5 million. The decrease was driven by an improvement to the Company's stock price which led to 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 $(1.22) (Basic) and $(1.22) (Diluted), compared to $1.03 (Basic) and $0.96 (Diluted) in the year-ago period.

- Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) increased 4% to $151.4 million compared to $145.0 million.
Liquidity and Capital Structure
Balance Sheet: At December 31, 2024, CompoSecure had $77.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $197.5 million of total debt (resulting in net debt of $120 million). This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $41.2 million and total debt of $340.3 million at December 31, 2023. The improvement was driven by strong Free Cash Flow generation as well as the conversion into equity of $130 million of exchangeable notes during the fourth quarter. CompoSecure's secured debt leverage ratio was $1.25x at December 31, 2024 compared to 1.39x at December 31, 2023.

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 CompoSecure believes that its plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, CompoSecure 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 CompoSecure'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 CompoSecure's future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in CompoSecure's forward-looking statements: the possibility that the spin-off will not achieve its intended benefits; the ability of the Company to successfully execute its plans and strategies, including with respect to M&A; the possibility of disruption, including changes to existing business relationships, disputes, litigation or unanticipated costs in connection with the spin-off; uncertainty of the expected financial performance of CompoSecure or Resolute Holdings following completion of the spin-off; evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes; actions by third parties, including government agencies; the ability of CompoSecure to diversify its business and customer base and to achieve enhancements in organic growth and operational efficiency, including for any future acquired companies; the ability of CompoSecure to create value for its shareholders and generate robust free cash flow; the ability of CompoSecure to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers, compete within its industry and retain its key employees; the possibility that CompoSecure may be adversely impacted by other global economic, business, competitive and/or other factors; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CompoSecure 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. CompoSecure 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. CompoSecure believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are useful to investors in evaluating CompoSecure's financial performance. CompoSecure 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/or 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 CompoSecure 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, CompoSecure's debt agreements contain covenants that use a variation of these measures for purposes of determining debt covenant compliance. CompoSecure 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, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt should not be considered as measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are significant components in understanding and assessing CompoSecure'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 CompoSecure's liquidity and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Please refer to the information included in this press release for the reconciliation of GAAP measures to these non-GAAP measures.
