Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	CPI Card Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Dollars in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts or as Otherwise Indicated) (Unaudited) ​ 1. Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ​ Business Overview CPI Card Group Inc. (which, together with its subsidiary companies, is referred to herein as “CPI” or the “Company”) is a payment technology company and leading provider of comprehensive Financial Payment Card solutions in the United States. CPI is engaged in the design, production, data personalization, packaging and fulfillment of Financial Payment Cards, which the Company defines as credit, debit and Prepaid Debit Cards issued on the networks of the Payment Card Brands (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover). CPI also offers an instant card issuance solution, which provides card issuing bank customers the ability to issue a personalized debit or credit card within the bank branch to individual cardholders. CPI serves its customers through a network of high-security production and card services facilities in the United States, each of which is audited for compliance with the standards of the PCI Security Standards Council by one or more of the Payment Card Brands. CPI’s leading network of high-security production facilities allows the Company to optimize its solutions offerings and to serve its customers . COVID-19 Update The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and continues to impact, economies and societies globally, including the locations where we, our customers and our suppliers conduct business. The long-term implications of COVID-19 on the Company’s results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain, though the health and safety of CPI employees remains paramount. The Company believes the global impacts from COVID-19, along with other factors, have contributed to certain adverse effects on its supply chain, including increased lead times for, and higher costs of, certain raw materials and components, such as microchips, which are expected to continue in the future. CPI closely monitors its supply chain and has and may continue to purchase additional inventory, compile buffer stock and place orders in advance to help mitigate supply chain constraints. The current environment has also affected the available labor pool in the areas in which the Company operates, which has resulted in increased labor cost and turnover in our facilities, challenges hiring production employees and shipping delays. CPI continues to actively recruit additional employees and offer market competitive salaries to mitigate labor shortages. Though the Company has implemented measures to mitigate the impacts of the labor and supply chain challenges described above, the Company believes that such impacts, and the associated costs, may continue to increase throughout 2022 and possibly beyond. The Company may not be able to pass all of these costs through to its customers. The Company is experiencing increased production lead times, which it believes are likely to continue throughout 2022 and possibly beyond, depending on the duration of the staffing and supply chain challenges and the level of demand from its customers. The Company will continue to monitor and respond as the situation evolves. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act, among other things, included provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer social security payments, changes in net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitation and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The company deferred employer social security payments in 2020 in accordance with the CARES Act, and the first installment repayment was made in the fourth quarter of 2021. The second installment payment is permitted to be paid no later than the fourth quarter of 2022. Refer to Note 8, “Accrued Expenses” for additional discussion. ​ Basis of Presentation ​ Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. ​ Use of Estimates ​ Management uses estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period, and certain financial statement disclosures in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, leases, liability for sales tax, valuation allowances for inventories and deferred taxes, revenue recognized for work performed but not completed and uncertain tax positions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Standards ​ Recently Issued Accounting Standards ​ In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Credit Losses Effective Dates. CPI is a smaller reporting company, adoption of this accounting standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt this accounting standard. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and does not anticipate the application of ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. ​

In most instances, this occurs over time as cards are produced for specific customers and have no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for work performed. For work performed but not completed and unbilled, the Company estimates revenue by taking actual costs incurred and applying historical margins for similar types of contracts. Items included in “Products” net sales are produced Financial Payment Cards, including contact-EMV ® ® TM ® EMV ® is a registered trademark in the U.S. and other countries and an unregistered trademark elsewhere. The EMV trademark is owned by EMV Co, LLC ​ Services Net Sales ​ Net sales are recognized for “Services” as the services are performed. Items included in “Services” net sales include the personalization and fulfillment of Financial Payment Cards, providing tamper-evident secure packaging and fulfillment services to Prepaid Debit Card program managers, and software as a service personalization of instant issuance debit cards. As applicable, for work performed but not completed and unbilled, the Company estimates revenue by taking actual costs incurred and applying historical margins for similar types of contracts. ​ Customer Contracts The Company often enters into Master Services Agreements (“MSAs”) with its customers. Generally, enforceable rights and obligations for goods and services occur only when a customer places a purchase order or statement of work to obtain goods or services under an MSA.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ​ Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). In determining fair value, the Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels: ​ ● Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. ​ ● Level 2— Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities. ​ ● Level 3— Valuations based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. ​ The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be re-measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carrying ​ Estimated ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Value as of ​ Fair Value as of ​ Fair Value Measurement at March 31, 2022 ​ ​ March 31, ​ March 31, ​ (Using Fair Value Hierarchy) ​ ​ 2022 ​ 2022 ​ Level 1 ​ Level 2 ​ Level 3 Liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senior Notes ​ $ 290,000 ​ $ 280,575 ​ $ — ​ $ 280,575 ​ $ — ABL Revolver ​ $ 30,000 ​ $ 30,000 ​ $ — ​ $ 30,000 ​ $ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carrying ​ Estimated ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Value as of ​ Fair Value as of ​ Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2021 ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ (Using Fair Value Hierarchy) ​ ​ 2021 ​ 2021 ​ Level 1 ​ Level 2 ​ Level 3 Liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senior Notes ​ $ 310,000 $ 327,050 ​ $ — $ 327,050 ​ $ — ​ The aggregate fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes (as defined in Note 10, “Long-Term Debt”) was based on bank quotes. The fair value measurement associated with the ABL Revolver (as defined in Note 10, “Long-Term Debt”) approximates its carrying value as of March 31, 2022, given the applicable variable interest rates and nature of the security interest in Company assets. ​ The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable each approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Financing and Operating Leases	9. Financing and Operating Leases ​ Right-of-use (“ROU”) represents the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. A lease is deemed to exist when the Company has the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment, as conveyed through a contract, for a certain period of time and consideration paid.

Long-Term Debt ​ At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, long-term debt consisted of the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest ​ March 31, December 31, ​ ​ Rate ​ ​ 2022 ​ 2021 Senior Notes ​ 8.625 % ​ $ 290,000 ​ $ 310,000 ABL Revolver ​ 2.060 % ​ ​ 30,000 ​ ​ — Unamortized deferred financing costs ​ ​ ​ ​ (5,612) ​ (6,374) Total long-term debt ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 314,388 ​ ​ 303,626 Less current maturities ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Long-term debt, net of current maturities ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 314,388 ​ $ 303,626 ​ On March 15, 2021, the Company completed a private offering by its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI CG Inc. (the “Issuer”), of $310,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2026 and related guarantees. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.625% per annum and mature on March 15, 2026. Interest is payable on the Senior Notes on March 15 and September 15 of each year. ​ On March 15, 2021, the Company and CPI CG Inc., as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender, administrative agent and collateral agent, providing for an ABL Revolver of up to $50,000 (the “ABL Revolver”). On March 3, 2022, the Company and CPI CG Inc. entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the ABL Revolver. The Amendment, among other things, increased the available borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolver to $75,000, increased the uncommitted accordion feature to $25,000 from $15,000, and revised the interest rate provisions to replace the ABL Revolver’s prior LIBOR interest benchmark with updated benchmark provisions using the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. ​ Borrowings under the amended ABL Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable term SOFR rate selected and adjusted for a credit spread, plus an applicable interest rate margin based on the average unused capacity of the facility. The Company may select a one, three or six month term SOFR rate, which is adjusted for a credit spread of 0.10% to 0.30% depending on the term selected. Through March 31, 2023, the applicable interest rate margin ranges from 1.50% to 1.75% depending on the average unused capacity of the facility for the previous quarter. The unused portion of the ABL Revolver commitment accrues a commitment fee, which ranges from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum, based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolver over the immediately preceding month. Unused commitment fee expense was $62 and $8 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fee percentage and calculation of the unused commitment fee changes, effective April 1, 2023, to between ​ The ABL Revolver includes limitations on the Company’s ability to borrow in certain situations, including limitations based on the calculation of a borrowing capacity and during periods in which the amount available to borrow under the ABL Revolver is less than $7,500. 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 or b) the $75,000 of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolver (“Borrowing Base”). 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 availability is below $7,500 and until such time that borrowing availability equals or exceeds $7,500 for 30 consecutive days, the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement for the ABL Revolver) greater than 1.00 ​ On March 15, 2021, the Company used net proceeds from the Senior Notes, together with cash on hand and initial borrowings of $15,000 under the ABL Revolver, to pay in full and terminate a previous Senior Credit Facility and a previous First Lien Term Loan on March 15, 2021, and to pay related fees and expenses. Early termination of the Senior Credit Facility required payment of a “make-whole” premium of $2,635 as an early termination penalty, which was paid on March 15, 2021, and recorded as interest expense on the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2021. ​ On March 11, 2022, the Issuer used the available borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolver to fund the redemption of $20,000 aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. ​ The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) that guarantee the ABL Revolver, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. The ABL Revolver is guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries (other than the Issuer and excluded subsidiaries), and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. ​ The Senior Notes and the ABL Revolver contain covenants limiting the ability of the Company, the Issuer and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or certain preferred stock; create or incur liens; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; make certain investments; create restrictions on the ability of the Issuer and its restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company or make other intercompany transfers; transfer or sell assets; merge or consolidate; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the respective agreements. ​ The Company has obligations to make an offer to repay the Senior Notes, requiring prepayment in advance of the maturity date, upon the occurrence of certain events including a change of control, certain asset sales and based on an annual excess cash flow calculation. The annual excess cash flow calculation is determined pursuant to the terms of that certain Indenture, dated as of March 15, 2021, by and among Issuer, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, with any required prepayments to be made after the issuance of the Company’s annual financial statements. No such payment was required to be made in 2022 based on the Company’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2021. ​ Deferred Financing Costs and Discount ​ Certain costs and discounts incurred with borrowings are reflected as a reduction to the long-term debt balance. These costs are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the borrowing using the effective-interest rate method. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs recorded on the Senior Notes were and is reported as a reduction to the long-term debt balance as of March 31, 2022. The remaining unamortized net discount and debt issuance costs on the ABL Revolver and related Amendment were ​ During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $5,048 loss on debt extinguishment relating to the unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount in connection with the termination of the Senior Credit Facility and First Lien Term Loan, as described earlier.

Commitments and Contingencies	14. Commitments and Contingencies ​ Commitments Refer to Note 9, “Financing and Operating Leases” for details on the Company’s future cash payments with respect to financing and operating leases. During the normal course of business, the Company enters into non-cancellable agreements to purchase goods and services, including production equipment and information technology systems. The Company leases real property for its facilities under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. Land and facility leases expire at various dates between 2023 and 2029 and contain various provisions for rental adjustments and renewals. The leases typically require the Company to pay property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs. The Company’s financing leases expire at various dates between 2022 and 2026 and contain purchase options which the Company may exercise to keep the machinery in use. Contingencies In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued expense when loss contingencies are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. As a matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. Once the loss contingency is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued expense and record a corresponding amount of expense. The Company expenses professional fees associated with litigation claims and assessments as incurred. Smart Packaging Solutions SA v. CPI Card Group Inc. ​ On April 20, 2021, Smart Packaging Solutions, SA (“SPS”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking an unspecified amount of damages and equitable relief. In the complaint, SPS alleges that the Company infringed four patents that SPS has exclusively licensed from Feinics AmaTech Teoranta. The patents all relate to antenna technology. SPS alleges that the Company incorporates the patented technology into its products that use contactless communication. The Company does not manufacture antennas; it purchases certain antenna-related components from SPS and a number of other suppliers. The Company’s motion to dismiss the Complaint is currently pending. Additionally, a third party, Infineon, has filed requests for Inter Parties Reexamination proceedings concerning each of the four patents. As a result, the Delaware District Court stayed the case pending resolution of the requests for reexamination. Should the reexamination requests be denied or should the patents survive reexamination by the United States Patent Office, the Company intends to defend the suit vigorously. However, no assurance can be given that this matter will be resolved favorably. Due to the stage of this matter, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with this matter, and no liability has been recorded as of March 31, 2022 ​ In addition to the matter described above, the Company may be subject to routine legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of any such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. ​ Estimated Sales Tax Liability The Company has continued to evaluate a state sales tax liability analysis for states in which it has economic nexus and to collect exemption documentation from its customers. It is probable that the Company will be subject to sales tax liabilities plus interest and penalties relating to historical activity in certain states. The estimated liability for sales tax as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $1,004 and $1,019 , respectively, and is recorded in a ccrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability decreased from the estimate recorded in the prior period primarily due to the Company remitting cash to the applicable state tax authorities for historical sales tax and interest. The Company may be subject to examination by the relevant state tax authorities. Due to the estimates involved in the analysis, the liability may change in the future. The Company is unable to predict a range of additional loss that is reasonably possible. Sales tax recovered from customers reduces the estimated expense when it is received or probable of collection . Future changes to the liability that impact the condensed consolidated statements of operations will be recorded within Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”). During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a sales tax benefit of $12 and $80 , respectively, within SG&A for current activity relating to updates to the estimated liability. ​

(2) Volatility was based on a weighting of the Company’s historical volatility and its peer group, which is comprised of companies with similar industry, size and financial leverage. (3) The risk-free interest rate was determined by using the United States Treasury rate for the period consistent with the expected option term described above. (4) The Company’s expected annual dividend yield was zero based on current practice. ​ The following table summarizes the changes in the number of outstanding restricted stock units: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted- ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted- ​ Remaining ​ ​ Average ​ Amortization ​ ​ ​ ​ Grant-Date ​ Period ​ ​ Shares ​ Fair Value ​ (in Years) Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 261,982 ​ $ 13.19 ​ ​ ​ Granted ​ 6,459 ​ ​ 14.32 ​ ​ ​ Forfeited (8,725) ​ ​ 9.32 ​ ​ ​ Outstanding as of March 31, 2022 259,716 ​ $ 13.35 ​ 1.32 ​ ​ The restricted stock unit awards contain conditions associated with continued employment or service.
