Net Income of $5.8 Million, Up 984% and 425% Year-over-Year in the Third Quarter and First Nine Months

LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS) (“CPI” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
“As we continue to navigate these unprecedented times, we are pleased with our strong third quarter performance,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. “Our 15% top-line growth underscores the resilience of the business, our ability to capitalize on the dual interface card demand in the U.S. and the strong market for our innovative and differentiated products, including our eco-focused solutions. Operating margins also expanded significantly in the quarter, driven by operating leverage and ongoing efficiency initiatives. We continue to win new business with our existing customers, add new customers and pursue opportunities.”
Scheirman continued, “We remain steadfast and intensely focused on our strategies of deep customer focus, providing market-leading quality products and customer service, delivering innovative solutions and a market-competitive business model.”
Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2020 Financial Highlights
Net sales increased 15% and 11% year-over-year to $82.7 million and $228.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Gross profit increased 21% and 15% year-over-year in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Gross profit margins increased to 37.0% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 35.4% in the prior year period, primarily due to higher net sales and operating leverage in the Debit and Credit segment. Gross profit margins increased to 34.8% from 33.7% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the prior year.
Income from operations was $13.5 million and $26.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively, compared with $7.7 million and $21.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively. In the first nine months of 2019, the Company recognized a $6.0 million gain related to the cash settlement of litigation, which was included in income from operations.
Third quarter 2020 net income was $5.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or a $0.06 loss per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019. For the first nine months, net income was $8.8 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, in 2020 compared to a net loss of $2.7 million, or a $0.24 loss per diluted share, in 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 43% and 39% year-over-year to $17.5 million and $40.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively.
Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2020 Segment Information
Debit and Credit:
Net sales increased 22% and 19% year-over-year to $62.7 million and $180.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Growth for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 was driven primarily by higher volumes of dual-interface EMV® card sales, including Second WaveTM cards featuring a core made with recovered ocean bound plastic. In addition, net sales increased from CPI On-Demand card personalization due to new customer wins and higher volumes from our existing customers, and from COVID-19 related government disbursement work. This growth was partially offset by COVID-19 impacts, including reduced volumes in card personalization stemming from fewer new accounts and requests for replacement cards. Card@Once® product sales were also impacted by COVID-19 due to reduced hours of operation, lack of access or closure of certain bank branches.
Prepaid Debit:
Net sales were up 1% and down 8% year-over-year to $20.6 million and $48.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Growth for the third quarter was primarily due to timing of certain customer sales, partially offset by reduced sales volumes primarily associated with COVID-19 impacts, including lower retail store traffic, which also impacted the decline in net sales for the first nine months of 2020.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow
As of September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents was $50.3 million. Cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million and capital expenditures were $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, yielding Adjusted Free Cash Flow use of $3.5 million. For the first nine months of 2020, cash provided by operating activities was $10.2 million and capital expenditures were $3.3 million, yielding Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $6.9 million. This compares with the first nine months of 2019 when cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million, or a $9.0 million cash usage when excluding the $6.0 million cash received from a litigation settlement, and capital expenditures were $3.3 million, resulting in Adjusted Free Cash Flow use of $12.3 million. For the first nine months of 2020, cash provided by operating activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased $13.2 million and $19.2 million year-over-year, respectively.
Total long-term debt principal outstanding, comprised of the Company’s $30 million Senior Credit Facility and its $312.5 million First Lien Term Loan, was $342.5 million at September 30, 2020. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, total long-term debt was $335.8 million as of September 30, 2020. The Company’s Senior Credit Facility matures in May 2022 and the First Lien Term Loan matures in August 2022.
John Lowe, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Top-line net sales growth and our commitment to operating efficiently resulted in strong year-over-year growth in Net Sales, Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA. We are sharply focused on continuing to execute on our strategy and capitalizing on market opportunities.”

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, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis between fiscal periods. 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.
EBITDA
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all on a continuing operations basis. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance, and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net (loss) income or net (loss) income from continuing operations as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a continuing operations basis and is defined as EBITDA adjusted for litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation; stock-based compensation expense; estimated sales tax expense (benefit); restructuring and other charges; loss on Revolving Credit Facility termination; foreign currency gain or loss; litigation settlement gain; and other items that are unusual in nature, infrequently occurring or not considered part of our core operations, as set forth in the reconciliation on Exhibit E. Adjusted EBITDA is also a defined computation in our First Lien Term Loan and Senior Credit Facility agreements, which generally conforms to the definition above, and impacts certain credit measures and covenants, including a covenant requiring the Company to have at least $25 million Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in our Senior Credit Facility) for the previous four consecutive fiscal quarters in total, at the end of each quarterly period ending on or after March 31, 2020. 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 (loss) 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. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA presented in this release, the measure as defined in our credit facilities may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage as shown in Exhibit E is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities - continuing operations, less capital expenditures from continuing operations, adjusted for cash received from a litigation settlement gain in the second quarter of 2019. 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 service our debt, nor does it reflect the cash impacts of our discontinued operations. Adjusted Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, cash (used in) provided by operating activities - continuing operations or any other measures of liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP.

LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS) (“CPI Card Group” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
“We delivered solid results once again this quarter as we continue to execute on our customer-centric strategy,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. “During the third quarter, our U.S. Debit and Credit segment performed well, delivering 7% net sales growth, expanding operating margins and securing a meaningful new business win with the launch of Second Wave™ financial payment cards made with recovered ocean-bound plastic. This solid performance, along with our strong U.S. Prepaid segment results, further propelled our business to improve our bottom-line results and significantly increase Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter and year to date. Through commitment to our key strategies, we continue to execute towards achieving our vision of being the partner of choice for our customers by providing market-leading quality products and customer service with a market-competitive business model.”
Financial results for the comparative 2018 periods, including non-GAAP measures, discussed in this press release reflect continuing operations unless otherwise noted. The sale of CPI U.K., which occurred in August 2018 and had historically been reported as the U.K. Limited segment, was accounted for as discontinued operations and comparative financial information has been restated in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) requirements.
Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2019 Consolidated Financial Highlights from Continuing Operations
Net sales increased 1.0% to $71.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, bringing year-to-date net sales to $205.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 9.7%. Excluding Canada, net sales were up 3.3% and 12.9% for the third quarter and year to date, respectively. Third quarter income from operations was $8.0 million, up 70.0% year over year. For the year-to-date period, income from operations increased $16.7 million year over year to $21.6 million, which includes a previously disclosed $6.0 million cash litigation settlement gain received in the second quarter of 2019.
Third quarter 2019 net loss from continuing operations was $0.7 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per share in the third quarter of 2018. For the year-to-date periods, net loss from continuing operations was $2.2 million, or $0.20 per share, in 2019 compared to a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.68 per share, in the first nine months of 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA was $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2019. For the year-to-date period, Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the $6 million cash litigation settlement gain recorded in the second quarter, was $28.8 million. Year over year, Adjusted EBITDA increased 34.4% and 30.7% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively.
Third Quarter and First Nine Months Segment Information from Continuing Operations
U.S. Debit and Credit:
Third quarter net sales of $51.5 million represented an increase of 7.3% year over year. This contributed to a year-over-year net sales increase of 17.5% in the year-to-date period, to $151.5 million. These increases were driven by continued strong performance in personalization and fulfillment services, a shift towards higher-priced dual-interface EMV cards, and strong net sales from Card@Once.
U.S. Prepaid Debit:
Net sales were $20.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, representing a decline of 3.5% compared with the third quarter of 2018. For the first nine months of 2019, net sales were $53.2 million, an increase of 2.0% compared with the year-ago period, which benefited from strong 2018 net sales including portfolio wins that, as expected, did not recur in the 2019 periods.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow from Continuing Operations
During the third quarter of 2019, cash used in operating activities was $2.0 million and included continued investments in inventory to support the growth of the business. Third quarter capital expenditures were $0.6 million. This resulted in negative adjusted free cash flow during the third quarter of $2.7 million. Year to date, cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million, inclusive of the $6.0 million cash litigation settlement gain recorded in the second quarter. Year to date, and consistent with seasonal patterns, adjusted free cash flow was negative $12.3 million, and was impacted by year-to-date inventory investments of $12.3 million.
As of September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents was $14.3 million and no borrowings were outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility had available borrowings of $20.0 million and matures August 17, 2020.
Total debt principal outstanding, comprised of the Company’s First Lien Term Loan, was $312.5 million at September 30, 2019, unchanged from December 31, 2018. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, total debt was $307.3 million as of September 30, 2019. The Company’s First Lien Term Loan matures in August 2022.
John Lowe, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We are encouraged by the progress we have made driving top-line and profit growth by executing on our key strategies, which enhanced our operating leverage as we continue to focus on the long-term growth of the business. As we continue to build upon this success, we believe we have adequate cash and operating cash flows to support our business plan.”

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, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Total Net Sales Growth Excluding Canada. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis between fiscal periods. 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.
EBITDA
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all on a continuing operations basis. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance, and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net (loss) income or net (loss) income from continuing operations as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a continuing operations basis and is defined as EBITDA adjusted for litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation; a litigation settlement gain in the second quarter of 2019; stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other charges; 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 on Exhibit E. Adjusted EBITDA is also a defined term in our existing credit agreement, which generally conforms to the definition above, and impacts certain credit measures and compliance targets within the credit agreement. 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, non-cash 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-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net (loss) 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 can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. Further, management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA, or "net debt leverage", as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. The metric “total debt less cash” includes borrowed long term debt, letters of credit, and capital lease obligations, less cash. Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage as shown in Exhibit E is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures from continuing operations, adjusted for cash received from a litigation settlement gain in the second quarter of 2019. 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 service our debt, nor does it reflect the cash impacts of our discontinued operations.
Total Net Sales Growth Excluding Canada
Total Net Sales Growth Excluding Canada, is a computation of the change in the Company’s Net Sales over the prior year period, excluding the net sales attributable to the Canadian operations. Canada sales were included in the Other segment during 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. The Canadian subsidiary was sold April 1, 2019, and the sale agreement excluded the portion of the business relating to Financial Payment Cards. That business migrated to the Company’s operations in the U.S. or to other service providers in 2019. The Canada-related sales in the second and third quarter of 2019 represents the Financial Payment Card business sales that migrated to the Company’s operations in the U.S. We computed the Total Net Sales excluding Canada, and the resulting year over year Total Net Sales Growth percentage excluding Canada, in Exhibit E. We believe that this financial measure is useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provides improved comparability between fiscal periods.

CPI Card Group® Brings Second WaveTM Cards to New Industry Sectors Including Transit, Hospitality and More
Mon October 28, 2019 9:00 AM
Business Wire|About: PMTS
They are still alive and kicking. They've managed to flatten out revenues, and are still generating a quarter of a billion dollars in sales. But they still cannot stem the tide of BIG losses.
Company’s Second Wave Cards, made with Recovered Ocean-Bound Plastic, Help Multiple Card Industry Market Segments Embrace Environmental Responsibility
LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS) (Nasdaq: PMTS, TSX: PMTS) (“CPI”), a payment technology company and leading provider of credit, debit and prepaid solutions, today announced the introduction of Second Wave cards for markets including transit, hospitality, entertainment and more. The expansion of Second Wave into new use-cases and markets empowers companies across various card industry segments to incorporate more environmentally-friendly solutions into their products – and offer a product that resonates with environmentally-conscious cardholders.
First launched in September 2019, Second Wave payment cards feature a core made with recovered ocean-bound plastic. Aimed at reducing first-use plastic and diverting plastic waste from entering the ocean, Second Wave now includes cards for access applications such as travel, ticketing, lodging, entertainment and more. Using an embedded chip that enables radio-frequency identification (RFID) contactless functionality, Second Wave offers a seamless cardholder experience while aligning with broader consumer values and desires to support the environment.
“Cards are a staple in a multitude of sectors, from transportation and travel to hospitality and entertainment. Through Second Wave, we’re providing businesses across these industries with a more eco-friendly alternative to cards made with first-use plastic,” said Jack Jania, VP of Product Management and Innovation, CPI Card Group. “We’re proud to be a leader in developing card options that help our clients provide unique choices and support their customers’ eco-friendly interests.”
CPI’s Second Wave access cards can support the majority of chip technologies and applications currently in the market, empowering companies across multiple segments of the card industry with a simple and effective way to participate in protecting the environment. CPI estimates that for every one million Second Wave cards produced, over one ton of plastic will be diverted from entering the world’s oceans, waterways and shorelines. In “Payment Industry Introduces Recovered Ocean-Bound Plastic Card,” a white paper recently published by CPI, the company highlights just how incorporating recovered ocean-bound plastic into card products can combat the issue of plastic waste in oceans while supporting organizational goals to be more environmentally conscious.

Cash of $17.5 Million, Available Revolver of $20.0 million, Available Liquidity of $37.5 Million at Quarter End
Call scheduled for Wednesday, August 7, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time
LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS) (“CPI Card Group” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2019.
“Our customer-centric strategy continues to yield positive top-line momentum, as reflected in the 15% year-over-year net sales growth we have delivered so far this year,” said Scott Scheirman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. “During the first half, our U.S. Debit and Credit segment increased net sales 24% on greater volume and product diversification, and our Prepaid Debit segment grew net sales 6% on top of a particularly strong first half in 2018. We’ve executed solidly towards our goal of being the partner of choice for our customers by providing market-leading quality products and customer service with a market-competitive business model.”
Financial results for the comparative 2018 periods, including non-GAAP measures, discussed in this press release reflect continuing operations unless otherwise noted. The sale of CPI U.K., which occurred in August 2018 and had historically been reported as the U.K. Limited segment, was accounted for as discontinued operations and comparative financial information has been restated in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) requirements.
Second Quarter and First Half 2019 Consolidated Financial Highlights from Continuing Operations
Net sales increased 8.9% to $66.9 million in the second quarter of 2019, bringing year-to-date net sales to $133.8 million, a year-over-year increase of 15.0%. During the second quarter, the Company recognized in income from operations a $6.0 million gain related to the cash settlement of litigation. The litigation has been disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings since the Company brought the complaint in 2017, and details of the settlement are disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed earlier today. The gain from this settlement, as well as a more favorable net sales mix, drove second quarter and first half 2019 income from operations to $10.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively, compared with $2.7 million and $0.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively.
Second quarter 2019 net income from continuing operations was $1.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018. For the year-to-date periods, net loss from continuing operations was $1.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in 2019 compared to a net loss of $6.5 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the $6 million litigation settlement gain, was $8.5 million and $16.5 million for the second quarter and first half 2019, respectively. Year over year, second quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was down 4.4%, and first half 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was up 28.1%.
Second Quarter and First Half Segment Information from Continuing Operations
U.S. Debit and Credit:
Second quarter net sales of $51.1 million represented an increase of 16.5% year over year. This contributed to a first half net sales year-over-year increase of 23.5%, to $100.0 million. These increases were driven by a double-digit percentage increase in EMV® card manufacturing volumes, propelled by dual-interface EMV® cards, as well as higher card personalization and fulfillment sales.
U.S. Prepaid Debit:
Second quarter net sales increased 3.5% year over year to $16.0 million and first half net sales increased 5.7% year over year to $32.7 million. These increases were on top of strong 2018 net sales, which included portfolio wins that, as expected, did not recur in the 2019 periods.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow from Continuing Operations
During the second quarter of 2019, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $9.2 million, inclusive of the $6.0 million litigation settlement gain, and spent $0.5 million on capital expenditures. This resulted in adjusted free cash flow generation of $2.7 million in the second quarter. As expected, and consistent with historical seasonal cash flow patterns, the Company’s operations generated a use of cash during the first half of 2019.
As of June 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents was $17.5 million, an increase of $9.6 million from March 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s revolving credit facility had no borrowings outstanding and available borrowings of $20.0 million. The revolving credit facility matures August 17, 2020.
Total debt principal outstanding, comprised of the Company’s First Lien Term Loan, was $312.5 million at June 30, 2019, unchanged from December 31, 2018. Net of debt issuance costs and discount, total debt was $306.8 million as of June 30, 2019. The Company’s First Lien Term Loan matures in August 2022.
John Lowe, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We continue to be encouraged by solid year-over-year net sales growth which, in turn, yielded greater operating leverage and enabled us to generate cash in the second quarter. We believe we have adequate cash and liquidity to support our business plan.”

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, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis between fiscal periods. 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.
EBITDA
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all on a continuing operations basis. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance, and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net (loss) income or net (loss) income from continuing operations as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a continuing operations basis and is defined as EBITDA adjusted for impairments; litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation; a litigation settlement gain in the second quarter of 2019; stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other charges; 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 on Exhibit E. Adjusted EBITDA is also a defined term in our existing credit agreement, which generally conforms to the definition above, and impacts certain credit measures and compliance targets within the credit agreement. 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, non-cash 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-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net (loss) 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 can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. Further, management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA, or "net debt leverage", as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. The metric “total debt less cash” includes borrowed long term debt, letters of credit, and capital lease obligations, less cash. Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage as shown in Exhibit E is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures from continuing operations, adjusted for cash received from a litigation settlement gain in the second quarter of 2019. 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 service our debt, nor does it reflect the cash impacts of our discontinued operations.

Scott Scheirman
Thanks Will and good afternoon everyone. Thank you for joining us on our second quarter 2018 conference call. Before we begin, I'd like to formally introduce and welcome John Lowe, who joined CPI as our new CFO about eight weeks ago.
John joins us from SquareTwo Financial Corporation, a Denver-based financial services company, where he served as Chief Financial Officer. During his eight year tenure at SquareTwo, John helped to nearly double the size of the company before it was acquired in June 2017. We couldn't be more excited to have John as part of the CPI team, and he has already started to make a positive impact during his brief time with us.
As you probably read in our press release this morning, we have announced the sale of our U.K. business to SEA Equity. We believe the sale of our U.K. business will strategically enable us to sharpen our focus on executing our key priorities across our core customers, markets and businesses, including secure cards, personalization, instant issuance and prepaid.
In summary, we believe this transaction will benefit both organizations, better enabling CPI and the U.K. business to excel in their respective core markets. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our U.K. colleagues and wish them all well.
Now turning to the second quarter. We delivered solid second quarter 2018 results, with operating performance in line with our expectations. A summary of these results can be found on Slide 4 of the presentation. And as a reminder, all of the figures presented reflect our U.K. Limited segment accounted for the discontinued operation as required under U.S. GAAP. We generated revenue of $61.5 million, up 12% year-over-year.
We delivered revenue growth across both our U.S. Debit and Credit and Prepaid Debit segments. Prepaid Debit growth in the second quarter was strong, up 26% compared to the year-ago period, reflecting our recent portfolio wins. Our U.S. Debit and Credit segment growth was 3.5% year-over-year, primarily reflecting growth of our emerging solutions, including Card@Once and CPI Metals.
We were also pleased to have sequential and year-over-year growth in our EMV cards sold in the second quarter. We reported a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of approximately $800,000 in the second quarter and adjusted net income from continuing operations of approximately $1 million. We posted adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of approximately $9 million in the second quarter up 24% year-over-year.
And finally we ended the second quarter with $37.8 million of total liquidity, comprised of $17.8 million of cash on our balance sheet and $20 million available under our revolving credit facility. Overall, we are pleased with our second quarter results, which reflect good progress against our strategy and plan to get CPI fit for growth. We are tracking in line with our business plan through the first half of 2018.
Turning now to Slide 5. I'd like to provide you with a brief reminder of our go-forward strategy and then, over the following several slides, I will provide you with a few examples of how we have continued to execute against this strategy in the second quarter and year-to-date. As we have shared with you on our previous two earnings calls, our overarching plan is to be the partner-of-choice by providing market-leading quality products and customer service with a market competitive business model.
We are doing this by focusing on four strategic priorities, which we are instilling at every level of the organization. These priorities include: First, deep customer focus; second, market-leading quality products and customer service; third, a market competitive business model; and fourth, continuous innovation.
Now turning to Slide 6 and starting with our first priority, deep customer focus. By intensifying our focus and efforts on delighting our customers every day, including the recent reorganization of our U.S. operations to better align our organization structure with the needs of our clients, we are making good strides in strengthening our existing customer partnerships.
As a result of our continued efforts, I'm happy to share with you a recent Debit Card portfolio win, which I believe is a good example of our ability to win new business by putting the customer first. This win is with Hancock Whitney Bank, a longstanding customer of CPI, which recently launched a major company-wide rebranding effort. In support of that effort, they partnered with CPI to quickly manufacture the new debit cards to resonate their brand vision.
Turning now to our second priority, market-leading quality products and customer service. We remain laser focused on delivering our unique end-to-end suite of financial card products and solutions to the market, combined with the highest levels of quality and customer service. We believe our ongoing efforts in this area will enable us to further expand our wallet with our existing customers and also allow us to win business with new customers.
One recent success story I would like to highlight is our collaboration with Commercial Business Systems, a provider of premium software and IT services for credit unions. We partnered with Commercial Business Systems to integrate their credit union accounting and management system with Card@Once. This integrated offering will provide an end-to-end print and activation instant issuance solution to credit unions that enable them to respond immediately to members for new and replacement cards.
Building on success story, the continued positive momentum of our Card@Once instant issuance solution is evidence of our ability to offer market-leading and differentiated solutions with excellent customer support. We ended the second quarter of 2018 with approximately 8,400 Card@Once installations, up from approximately 7,700 installations in the prior quarter and an increase of 31% from approximately 6,400 installations in the second quarter of 2017.
We are pleased with our second quarter Card@Once performance, and we see continued opportunities to grow this business with both new and existing customers. For example, in the second quarter, Midland Bank, based in Illinois, expanded their relationship with us by placing an order for our next-generation instant issuance solution to be deployed across their bank branch footprint.
In addition to that, Midland recently completed the acquisition of another local bank, which is an existing Card@Once customer and will be upgrading that bank from an earlier model to our next-generation solution. In addition, First US Bank, which is an existing CPI personalization client, is expanding their offering to their end customers by deploying our Card@Once instant issuance solutions.
Turning to our third priority, which can be found on Slide 7, our market competitive business model. We continue to advance our initiatives to drive productivity and efficiency improvements throughout the business through three key areas, including business process improvements and efficiencies, a continued focus on direct and indirect procurement savings and an optimized footprint.
We remain on track and are in final stages of the consolidation of our U.S. personalization sites from three sites to two sites. As a reminder, the benefit to our cost structure from the personalization site consolidation will primarily be in 2019. With respect to our fourth priority, continuous innovation, I'd like to provide you with a couple of updates.
For CPI Metals, we continue to see good interest from our customers for this premium product, and we are encouraged by the level of interaction we are having with our clients regarding their metal card strategies. Acorns, the country's fastest-growing financial system with 3.5 million users, recently engaged us to produce an encased Tungsten CPI Metals Debit Card with a green custom core. While still early, we are also encouraged by the metal card order activity that contributed to our second quarter results.
For dual interface EMV cards, we remain in active conversations with many customers regarding their dual interface product road maps and how we can play a role in fulfilling their future needs. We manufactured modest levels of dual interface EMV cards in the second quarter. However, we continue to expect that dual interface will not contribute to our 2018 revenue in a meaningful way.
Finally, I would like to cover the industry trends that we are currently seeing in the market. Overall, market conditions are consistent with what we discussed with you on our last earnings call. We continue to expect the U.S. industry card manufacturing volume will be essentially flat in 2018 versus 2017 levels and then return to growth in 2019.
In addition, we anticipate that the average selling prices will continue to decline in the market during the course of the year, similar to 2017. For card personalization and fulfillment, our expectation is for more modest levels of demand in 2018, driven by steady-state new card issuance, expiration and lost, stolen card replacement activity. For U.S. Prepaid, we continue to expect that CPI will participate in the prepaid industry's modest growth this year.
I will now turn the call over to John Lowe to review our detailed financial and operating results in the second quarter. John?
John Lowe
Thanks, Scott, and good morning, everyone. Before taking you through the quarter, I'd first like to say how excited I am to join CPI Card Group. I've been here for nearly two months, and my time with the company has served to further solidify the reasons why I decided to join the CPI team. From a business perspective, I was very attracted to CPI's strong position in our market space, its talented and dedicated team and history as an innovator in the industry.
In my short tenure at CPI, I have been excited to learn that our management team is very focused on serving our customers, improving business performance and making investments to put CPI on a path of financial improvement and growth. This is a direct credit to the organizational culture that Scott has instilled into CPI and the hard work of the entire organization.
Looking ahead, my focus will be finding areas where we, as a company, can drive even greater value to our customers and continue to improve our performance. To that end, I'm excited to partner with Scott and the rest of the team to build on our leadership position in the market and further our company's long-term vision for growth and innovation. Before I discuss our financial results for the quarter, I'd like to share some more on the sale of our UK business, which closed on August 3. The UK business is in a challenging market and had an operating loss of US$2.8 million for the six months ended June 30.
We sold the UK business for US$4.5 million and will receive approximately $0.3 million in cash proceeds after paying off the UK business's debt and other liabilities. In addition, the structure of the sale created a future tax benefit to CPI of approximately US$3 million. As a result of the UK performance and the sale, we recorded impairments and asset write-downs of the UK business of US$14.8 million. All of the UK business's historical financial results, including its impairments and asset write-downs, are presented in our earnings release and financial statements as discontinued operations as required under U.S. GAAP.
Now turning to our results. On Slide 11, you will see an overview of our second quarterof 2018. All of the financial results I'm sharing today reflect continuing operations and exclude our UK business segment which, as I described, is treated as a discontinued operations. Total net sales were $61.5 million, an increase of 12.1% from $54.8 million in the second quarter of 2017.
Product net sales increased 18.2% year-over-year to $31.5 million in the second quarter. This growth was driven primarily by strong growth in our Card@Once business unit, but we see strong interest in our Card@Once product offerings. In addition, we had continued performance in our secured card unit, where we delivered 1.6% year-over-year and 14% sequential growth in the number of U.S. Debit and Credit EMV chip cards sold.
Services net sales increased 6.3% year-over-year to $30 million, primarily driven by strong growth in our U.S. Prepaid Debit segment, partially offset by a modest decline in card personalization and fulfillment revenue compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Gross profit for the second quarter was $19.9 million, up 19.3% year-over-year and representing a gross margin of 32.3% compared with $16.7 million and 30.4% in the second quarter of 2017. Our SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2018 continue to be impacted by restructuring charges, related to consolidation of our footprint. In addition, we continue to invest in our dedicated workforce here at CPI.
Income from operations in the second quarter of 2018 was $2.7 million compared with an operating income of $0.7 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year changes in our gross profit and income from operations for the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflect our top line growth and ongoing cost reductions and efficiency initiatives, partially offset by strategic investments in our business to enhance our products, solutions and go-to-market strategy.
We reported a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $0.8 million or a $0.07 loss per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018. This is compared with net loss from continuing operations of $3.3 million or a $0.30 loss per diluted share in the prior year period, retroactively adjusted to reflect the one-for-five reverse stock split in December of 2017.
Turning to our non-GAAP metrics. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2018 was $8.9 million, up 24.1% from $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.5% compared with 13.1% in the prior year period. The year-over-year changes in our adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA margin primarily reflect the same factors, which impacted our reported income from operations. Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2018 or $0.10 per diluted share compared with $1.1 million loss or an $0.10 loss per share in the year-ago period.
Now I will review our segments for the second quarter of 2018 on Slide 12. U.S. Debit and Credit segment net sales were $43.8 million for the second quarter, a 3.5% increase from the prior year period. The corresponding segment EBITDA was $9.9 million compared with $7.9 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year growth in our U.S. Debit and Credit segment was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from our emerging products and solutions, including Card@Once and metal cards, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from non-EMV and other sales, card personalization and fulfillment and EMV card revenues due to lower average selling prices.
CPI sold 19.1 million EMV cards in the second quarter of 2018, up from 18.8 million cards in the second quarter of 2017 and also up from 16.8 million cards in Q1 of 2018. U.S. Prepaid Debit segment net sales were $15.4 million in the second quarter, up $3.2 million or 25.9% year-over-year. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by additional volume from recent client portfolio wins discussed on our last earnings call. Prepaid Debit segment EBITDA was $4.7 million, up from $3.6 million recorded in the prior year period.
Turning to our cash flow overview on Slide 13. Cash provided by continuing operations for the second quarter was $0.2 million compared with cash used in continuing operations of $1 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2018 were $1.4 million, down from $2.1 million in the prior year period, yielding second quarter 2018 negative free cash flow of $1.2 million, which is an improvement of $1.9 million from second quarter 2017.
Moving on to Slide 14. Our ending cash balance as of June 30 was $17.8 million, down from $20.2 million at Q1 2018 and $23.2 million at year-end of 2017. We ended the quarter with total debt principal outstanding of $312.5 million and a net debt balance of $294.7 million. Netting the deferred financing costs and discounts, our recorded total debt balance was $304.8 million. At June 30, 2018, our net debt leverage ratio was 12.1x. As of June 30, 2018, we had a $14 million revolving credit facility, which is undrawn and has $20 million available for borrowing. Our term loan has no financial covenants and do not mature until August 2022.
Total available liquidity was $37.8 million as of June 30, 2018. As a reminder, our business segment results do fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on several factors, including ordering patterns of our customers and seasonality. In addition, we believe we have adequate cash and liquidity to support our business plan. I will now turn the call back over to Scott for some closing remarks. Scott?
Scott Scheirman
Thanks, John. In summary, we are pleased with our second quarter results and are on track with our business plan through the first half of 2018. The execution of our key priorities is driving solid progress in terms of new business wins as well as business process improvements and an unwavering focus on serving our customers well. While we still have a lot to do, I am pleased with all that we have accomplished so far and want to thank our entire CPI organization for their dedication and tireless efforts towards our goals. We look forward to sharing our continued progress with you. Operator, you may now end the call.

Second Quarter 2018 – Continuing Operations Consolidated Financial Highlights

Net sales were $43.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 3.5% from the second quarter of 2017.

Net sales were $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 25.9% from the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase in U.S. Prepaid Debit segment net sales was driven primarily by additional sales volumes from a new portfolio win with an existing customer.
