Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents and they are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Trade Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral to secure accounts receivable. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 Trade accounts receivable $ 69,245 $ 68,886 Unbilled accounts receivable ​ 4,725 ​ 11,915 ​ ​ 73,970 ​ 80,801 Less allowance ​ ​ (246) ​ ​ (218) ​ ​ $ 73,724 ​ $ 80,583 ​ The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon its assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. Accounts are written off against the allowance when it is determined collection will not occur. The provision for credit losses was immaterial for both the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. ​ For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, one customer represented 18% and 16%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net sales. Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods, and are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value (determined on a first-in, first-out or specific identification basis). Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Finished goods inventory represents primarily stock cards and Card Once printers. The stock cards are not produced for a specific customer, but are ready to be personalized and sold as customer orders are received. The Company monitors inventory for events or circumstances that may indicate the net realizable value is less than the carrying value of inventory, such as negative margins, expiration of material usage and other forms of obsolescence, and records adjustments to the valuation of inventory, as necessary. For the year ended December 31, 2023 approximately 96% of the total value of our purchased microchips and antennas came from four main suppliers, and approximately 72% came from one supplier. Approximately 97% of the total value of our purchased microchips and antennas for the year ended December 31, 2022 came from four main suppliers, and approximately 68% came from one supplier. Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Plant, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Accumulated depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the related assets (generally 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, furniture, computer equipment, and leasehold improvements) or, when applicable, the lease term. Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Capital expenditures are presented net of lessor reimbursements on the consolidated statement of cash flows for assets acquired when corresponding financing leases were contemplated to be executed at the asset purchase date and such financing leases are entered into shortly after asset acquisition. Any financing leases executed for the acquisition of right-of-use machinery and equipment assets are presented in the supplemental disclosures of non-cash information on the statement of cash flows. Financing leases are further described in Note 9, “Financing and Operating Leases.” Long-lived assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or the carrying amounts of the asset group containing the asset may not be recoverable. In such reviews, estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with these assets or asset groups are compared with their carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company accounts for its goodwill under the authoritative guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets (ASC 350) and the provisions of ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment and tests at least annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying amount. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, a one-step quantitative test is then performed. Factors management considers in this assessment include macroeconomic, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance (both current and projected), cost increases impacting earnings and cash flows, changes in management and strategy, and changes in the composition or carrying amount of net assets. In the event a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, and are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In such reviews, estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with these assets are compared with their carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. ​ Sales Tax The Company records sales tax collected from its customers on a net basis, and therefore excludes it from net sales as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities and maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent the Company determines that it will not realize the benefit of some or all of its deferred tax assets, then these deferred tax assets will be adjusted through the Company’s income tax expense in the period in which this determination is made. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions are likely to be challenged and may not be fully sustained on review by tax authorities. The Company adjusts uncertain tax positions in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or refinement of an estimate. Stock - Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to ASC 718, Share-Based Payments. Net Sales Products Net Sales “Products” net sales are recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. 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 the design and production of Financial Payment Cards, including contact-EMV, contactless dual-interface EMV, contactless and magnetic stripe cards, CPI’s eco-focused solutions, including Second Wave and Earthwise cards made with upcycled plastic, metal cards, private label credit cards and retail gift cards. Card Once printers and consumables are also included in “Products” net sales, and their associated revenues are recognized at the time of shipping. The Company includes gross shipping and handling revenue in net sales, and shipping and handling costs in cost of sales . Europay, Mastercard and Visa (“EMV®”) is a global technical standard maintained by EMV Co, LLC. 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 SaaS 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. The contract term as defined by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ​ Use of Estimates The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require management to make assumptions and estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities in its preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, leases, 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 Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the criteria under which credit losses on financial instruments (such as the Company’s trade receivables) are measured. The ASU introduces a new credit reserve model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology previously used under GAAP with an expected loss methodology. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the CECL model. The adoption of the model did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. ​ Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ​ In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will require enhanced segment disclosures. Adoption of this accounting standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company has elected not to early adopt this accounting standard in 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and does not anticipate that the application of ASU 2023-07 will change which segments are currently reported or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which will require a disaggregated rate reconciliation disclosure as well as additional information regarding taxes paid. Adoption of this accounting standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has elected not to early adopt this accounting standard in 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and does not anticipate that the application of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

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 consolidated balance sheets were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carrying ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurement at ​ ​ Value as of ​ Fair Value as of ​ December 31, 2023 ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ (Using Fair Value Hierarchy) ​ 2023 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senior Notes $ 267,897 $ 261,834 ​ $ — $ 261,834 ​ $ — ABL Revolver ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carrying ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurement at ​ ​ Value as of ​ Fair Value as of ​ December 31, 2022 ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ (Using Fair Value Hierarchy) ​ 2022 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senior Notes ​ $ 285,000 $ 281,438 ​ $ — $ 281,438 ​ $ — ABL Revolver ​ $ 5,000 ​ $ 5,000 ​ $ — ​ $ 5,000 ​ $ — ​ ​ 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 December 31, 2023, 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. The right to control is deemed to occur when the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the identified assets and the right to direct the use of such assets. Certain leases contain escalation provisions and/or renewal options, giving the Company the right to extend the leases by up to 10 years ​ The components of operating and finance lease costs were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended December 31, ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 Operating lease costs ​ $ 3,191 ​ $ 3,064 Variable lease costs ​ ​ 741 ​ ​ 642 Total expense from operating leases ​ $ 3,932 ​ $ 3,706 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Finance lease costs: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Right-of-use amortization expense ​ $ 2,314 ​ $ 1,718 Interest on lease liabilities ​ ​ 784 ​ ​ 482 Total financing lease costs ​ $ 3,098 ​ $ 2,200 ​ The following table reflects balances for operating and financing leases: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 Operating leases: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating lease right-of-use assets, net of amortization ​ $ 11,234 ​ $ 10,705 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Current operating lease liabilities ​ $ 2,539 ​ $ 2,355 Non-current operating lease liabilities ​ ​ 9,384 ​ ​ 8,905 Total operating lease liabilities ​ $ 11,923 ​ $ 11,260 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Financing leases: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Property, equipment and leasehold improvements ​ $ 23,774 ​ $ 15,717 Accumulated depreciation ​ ​ (3,335) ​ ​ (3,135) Total financing leases in property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net ​ $ 20,439 ​ $ 12,582 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Current financing lease liabilities ​ $ 4,779 ​ $ 3,342 Non-current financing lease liabilities ​ ​ 13,327 ​ ​ 7,355 Total financing lease liabilities ​ $ 18,106 ​ $ 10,697 ​ Finance and operating lease ROU assets are recorded in “Plant, equipment, leasehold improvements, and operating lease right-of-use assets, net.” Financing and operating lease liabilities are recorded in “Accrued expenses” and “Other long-term liabilities.” ​ Components of lease expense were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2023 ​ ​ 2022 Weighted-average remaining lease term: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating leases ​ ​ 4.70 ​ ​ 5.06 Financing leases ​ ​ 3.98 ​ ​ 3.60 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted-average discount rate: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating leases ​ ​ 7.19% ​ ​ 7.93% Financing leases ​ ​ 6.28% ​ ​ 6.62% ​ ​ ​ Future cash payment with respect to lease obligations as of December 31, 2023 were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating ​ Financing ​ ​ Lease ​ Leases Year Ending ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2024 ​ $ 3,310 ​ $ 5,777 2025 ​ ​ 2,851 ​ ​ 5,472 2026 ​ ​ 2,684 ​ ​ 4,111 2027 ​ ​ 2,518 ​ ​ 3,180 2028 ​ ​ 2,185 ​ ​ 1,919 Thereafter ​ ​ 574 ​ ​ — Total lease payments ​ ​ 14,122 ​ ​ 20,459 Less imputed interest ​ ​ (2,199) ​ ​ (2,353) Total ​ $ 11,923 ​ $ 18,106 ​

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. 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 CPI CG Inc., 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 is required to be made in 2024 and was not required to be made in 2023 based on the Company’s operating results for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. ​ During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company used cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under the Company’s asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility (described in more detail below, the “ABL Revolver”) to retire a portion of the Senior Notes totaling $17.1 million of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the retirement dates. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company used cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolver to fund the redemption and purchase of a portion of the Senior Notes totaling $25.0 million of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the retirement dates. The difference between the par value and the purchase price of $0.5 million is recorded in “Interest, net” on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than CPI CG Inc. as the issuer of the Senior Notes) that guarantee the ABL Revolver. The Senior Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of CPI CG Inc. and the guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. The ABL Revolver is guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries (other than CPI CG Inc. as borrower and excluded subsidiaries), and is secured by substantially all of the assets of CPI CG Inc. and the guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. The Senior Notes and the ABL Revolver contain covenants limiting the ability of the Company, CPI CG Inc. 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 CPI CG Inc. 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. ABL Revolver 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 the ABL Revolver with revolving credit. The ABL Revolver matures on the earliest to occur of March 15, 2026 and the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity of the Senior Notes. 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 $75.0 million, increased the uncommitted accordion feature to $25.0 million from $15.0 million, and revised the interest rate provisions to replace the prior LIBOR benchmark with updated benchmark provisions using the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. On October 11, 2022, the Company and CPI CG Inc. entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, which amended the ABL Revolver to adjust certain monthly document delivery terms and to clarify the treatment of certain inventory. ​ Borrowings under the amended ABL Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable term SOFR adjusted for a credit spread, plus an applicable interest rate margin. The Company may select a one, three or six month term SOFR, which is adjusted for a credit spread of 0.10% to 0.30% depending on the term selected. Through March 31, 2023, the applicable interest rate margin ranged from 1.50% to 1.75% depending on the average excess availability of the facility for the most recently completed quarter. The unused portion of the ABL Revolver commitment accrued a monthly unused line fee, 0.50% per annum through March 31, 2023, multiplied by the aggregate amount of Revolver commitments less the average Revolver usage during the immediately preceding month. The interest rate margin and unused line fee percentage changed, effective April 1, 2023, to between 1.25% and 1.75% (interest rate margin) and 0.375% and 0.50% (unused line fee). ​ 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 further limitations that are triggered if the amount available to borrow under the ABL Revolver is less than $7.5 million. 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 $75.0 million 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 capacity is below $7.5 million and until such time that borrowing capacity equals or exceeds $7.5 million 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, calculated for the trailing 12 months, in order to borrow under the ABL Revolver. 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 $2.9 million and are reported as a reduction to the long-term debt balance as of December 31, 2023. The remaining unamortized net discount and debt issuance costs on the ABL Revolver and related Amendment were $1.0 million and are recorded as other assets (current and long-term) on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes ​ Income tax expense and effective income tax rates consist of the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2023 2022 Current taxes: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Domestic $ 10,126 ​ $ 11,047 ​ Foreign ​ 20 ​ 5 ​ ​ ​ ​ 10,146 ​ 11,052 ​ Deferred taxes: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Domestic ​ ​ 331 ​ 1,554 ​ Foreign ​ ​ — ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ 331 ​ 1,555 ​ Income tax expense $ 10,477 ​ $ 12,607 ​ Income before income taxes: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Domestic income $ 34,400 ​ $ 49,108 ​ Foreign income ​ ​ 62 ​ 39 ​ Total $ 34,462 ​ $ 49,147 ​ Effective income tax rate ​ 30.4 % ​ 25.7 % ​ The Company’s effective tax rates on pre-tax income were 30.4% and 25.7% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the prior year was primarily due to tax deductibility limitations on executive compensation and a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2022 due to the lapse of the statute of limitations. ​ For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2023 2022 Tax at federal statutory rate ​ 21.0 % 21.0 % State taxes, net ​ 4.4 5.4 Unrecognized tax benefits ​ 0.1 ​ (2.0) ​ Deductibility limitations on excess compensation ​ 3.3 ​ 0.4 ​ Tax credits ​ (0.5) ​ (0.1) ​ Permanent items ​ 2.0 ​ 1.0 ​ Other ​ 0.1 — Effective income tax rate ​ 30.4 % 25.7 % ​ For the year ended December 31, 2023, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, which had a tax rate impact of 4.4%. Other items impacting the effective tax rate in 2023 include tax deductibility limitations on executive compensation and permanent items. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, which had a tax rate impact of 5.4%, and a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits primarily relating to an asset basis tax position and research and development tax credits as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2023 ​ 2022 Deferred tax assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Accrued expense ​ $ 1,928 ​ $ 3,830 Net operating loss carryforward ​ ​ 130 ​ 257 Stock compensation ​ ​ 1,798 ​ 1,303 Interest limitation ​ ​ 1,689 ​ ​ 2,474 Lease liability ​ ​ 3,026 ​ ​ 2,891 Capital loss carryover ​ ​ 2,110 ​ ​ 2,135 Research and development costs ​ ​ 1,350 ​ ​ 1,434 Other ​ ​ 3,244 ​ ​ 3,609 Total gross deferred tax assets ​ ​ 15,275 ​ 17,933 Valuation allowance ​ (2,616) ​ (2,791) Net deferred tax assets ​ ​ 12,659 ​ 15,142 Deferred tax liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Plant, equipment and leasehold improvements ​ (8,825) ​ (9,510) Intangible assets ​ (6,745) ​ (8,020) Right-of-use assets ​ ​ (2,851) ​ ​ (2,749) Other ​ (1,377) ​ (1,671) Total gross deferred tax liabilities ​ (19,798) ​ (21,950) Net deferred tax liabilities ​ $ (7,139) ​ $ (6,808) ​ The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023, is primarily relating to a capital loss realized on the sale of a foreign subsidiary whereby the Company does not anticipate a capital gain in the foreseeable future that would allow for the recognition of the capital loss carryover. In addition, the Company has a partial valuation allowance on certain state interest deduction limitations, which the Company estimates may not be fully utilized. Under a provision in the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, beginning in 2022, research and development costs incurred are no longer allowed as an immediate deduction for federal income tax purposes. Rather, these expenditures incurred must be capitalized and amortized over a five-year period for activities conducted in the United States and a 15 year period for activities conducted outside the United States. The Company has a minimal amount of state and local operating loss carryforwards which will expire at various dates from 2032 to 2038. The Company does expect to be able to utilize these losses prior to expiration. The Company has recorded compensation for certain covered employees in excess of $1.0 million per year. Under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 162(m), the Company is prohibited from deducting the amount of tax compensation that exceeds $1.0 million per year for these employees. The covered employees are defined as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and the three next-highest-compensated officers of the Company. The Company considers the impact of the estimated IRC Section 162(m) limitations on the future deductibility of existing temporary differences. Unrecognized Tax Benefits Unrecognized tax benefits represent the aggregate tax effect of differences between the tax return positions and the amounts otherwise recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and are reflected in “Accrued expenses” and “Other long-term liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax provision only when based upon the technical merits, it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance as of December 31, 2022 ​ $ 1,395 Increase related to current year tax position ​ ​ 42 Increase related to prior year tax position ​ ​ 22 Decrease related to prior year tax position ​ ​ (62) Decrease related to settlements with tax authorities, net of federal benefit ​ ​ (80) Balance as of December 31, 2023 ​ $ 1,317 ​ The Company recognizes interest and penalties with respect to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The amount of accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $0.9 million of its unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized by the end of 2024 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations, which is reflected in “Accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

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 2024 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 2024 and 2028 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 produce 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, filed requests for Inter Parties Review (“IPR”) proceedings concerning each of the four patents. As a result, the Delaware District Court stayed the case pending resolution of the requests for review. The United States Patent Office has instituted proceedings with respect to all of the IPR requests; three of the patents have been invalidated in the IPR proceedings and one remains under review. The patent owner, Feinics AmaTech Teoranta, initially appealed the invalidation of the three patents but subsequently elected to dismiss those appeals. Should the remaining patent survive review 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 December 31, 2023. ​ 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. ​ Voluntary Disclosure Program The Company is subject to unclaimed or abandoned property (escheat) laws which require it to turn over to state governmental authorities the property of others held by the Company that has been unclaimed for specified periods of time. Property subject to escheat laws generally relates to uncashed checks, trade accounts receivable credits and unpaid payable balances. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company received a letter from the Delaware Secretary of State inviting the Company to participate in the Delaware Secretary of State’s Abandoned or Unclaimed Property Voluntary Disclosure Agreement Program to avoid being sent an audit notice by the Delaware Department of Finance. On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into Delaware’s Voluntary Disclosure Agreement Program in order to voluntarily comply with Delaware’s abandoned property law in exchange for certain protections and benefits.

Stock-Based Compensation	16. Stock-Based Compensation CPI Card Group Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan In October 2015, the Company adopted the CPI Card Group Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended and supplemented, the “Omnibus Plan”) pursuant to which cash and equity-based incentives may be granted to participating employees, advisors and directors. As of December 31, 2023, there were 2,200,000 shares issuable under the Omnibus Plan, and there were 111,737 shares of Common Stock available for grant under the Omnibus Plan. Options have 7-year terms and are issued with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. ​ The following is a summary of the activity in outstanding stock options under the Omnibus Plan: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted-Average ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted-Average ​ Remaining ​ Aggregate ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Exercise ​ Contractual Term ​ Intrinsic ​ ​ ​ Options ​ Price ​ (in Years) ​ Value ​ Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 ​ 780,623 ​ $ 18.12 ​ 4.65 ​ $ 15,902 ​ Granted ​ 139,648 ​ ​ 22.23 ​ 6.26 ​ ​ ​ ​ Exercised ​ (8,295) ​ ​ 12.36 ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ Expired ​ (1,409) ​ ​ 23.72 ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ Forfeited ​ (1,129) ​ ​ 20.09 ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 ​ 909,438 ​ $ 18.79 ​ 4.06 ​ $ 6,482 ​ Options vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2023 ​ 749,317 ​ $ 18.26 ​ 3.62 ​ $ 6,326 ​ Options vested and expected to vest as of December 31, 2023 ​ 909,438 ​ $ 18.79 ​ 4.06 ​ $ 6,482 ​ ​ The following is a summary of the activity in unvested stock options under the Omnibus Plan: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted-Average ​ ​ ​ ​ Grant-Date ​ ​ Number ​ Fair Value Unvested as of December 31, 2022 ​ 100,059 ​ $ 6.02 Granted ​ 139,648 ​ ​ 11.21 Vested ​ (78,457) ​ ​ 15.19 Forfeited ​ (1,129) ​ ​ 12.09 Unvested as of December 31, 2023 ​ 160,121 ​ $ 10.92 ​ Unvested stock options of 160,121 as of December 31, 2023 have a seven-year The fair value of the stock option awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2023, were determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ Expected term in years (1) ​ 2.90 ​ 4.25 ​ Volatility (2) ​ 73.16 % 77.58 % Risk-free interest rate (3) ​ 4.46 % 2.86 % Dividend yield (4) ​ — % — % (1) The Company estimated the expected term based on the average of the weighted-average vesting period and the contractual term of the stock option awards by utilizing the “simplified method,” as the Company does not have sufficient available historical data to estimate the expected term of these stock option awards. (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 for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the Omnibus Plan: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted-Average ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Remaining ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted-Average ​ Amortization ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Grant-Date ​ Period ​ ​ ​ Shares ​ Fair Value ​ (in Years) ​ Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 98,664 ​ $ 25.23 ​ ​ ​ Granted ​ 699,281 ​ ​ 21.39 ​ ​ ​ Vested ​ (80,580) ​ ​ 27.07 ​ ​ ​ Forfeited (4,005) ​ ​ 26.85 ​ ​ ​ Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 713,360 ​ $ 21.25 ​ 2.18 ​ ​ The restricted stock unit awards contain conditions associated with continued employment or service. Restricted stock units granted in 2023 are expected to vest ratably over a two ​ Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s employees that participate in the Company’s long-term incentive program received a quarterly grant comprising one-fourth of the annual equity-based incentive component of their total compensation. Executive awards are awarded as a mix of restricted stock units and nonqualified stock options, and other employee awards are comprised solely of restricted stock units. The number of shares awarded will be determined based on the grant-date fair value for nonqualified stock options and on a value tied to the monthly average closing price of the Company’s common stock for restricted stock units. In June 2023, the Company implemented an additional long-term incentive program under the Omnibus Plan, independent of the quarterly awards described above, designed to retain and incentivize executive officers and certain key employees, excluding the Company’s President and CEO, comprised of restricted stock units. The first tranche was awarded in June 2023, the second tranche was awarded in August 2023, and the third and final tranche was awarded in November 2023. The awards vest ratably over a three-year period, subject to continued employment. In June 2023, the Company also announced an award comprised of 25% nonqualified stock options and 75% restricted stock units to its CEO as an incentive to remain employed by the Company through February 28, 2024. The first one -third of the awards was granted in June 2023, the second one -third was granted in August 2023, and the remainder was granted in November 2023. All of these awards will vest ratably over a two-year period irrespective of employment status with expense related to these awards to be recognized by the Company through February 28, 2024. As part of the CEO’s incentive package, the requisite service and exercise periods for his awards granted in 2023 prior to June 2023 were also modified with expense related to the modification being recognized in June 2023 through February 2024. Compensation expense for the Omnibus Plan for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $7.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options and restricted stock units was $10.2 million, which the Company expects to recognize over an estimated weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years.

Segment Reporting
Segment Reporting	17. Segment Reporting The Company has identified reportable segments that represent 10% or more of its net sales, EBITDA (as defined below) or total assets, or when the Company believes information about the segment would be useful to the readers of the financial statements. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its CEO, who is charged with management of the Company and is responsible for the evaluation of operating performance and decision making about the allocation of resources to operating segments based on measures, such as net sales and EBITDA. EBITDA is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. As the Company uses the term, “EBITDA” is defined as income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company’s chief operating decision maker believes EBITDA is a meaningful measure and is useful as a supplement to GAAP measures as it represents a transparent view of the Company’s operating performance that is unaffected by fluctuations in property, equipment and leasehold improvement additions. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses EBITDA to perform periodic reviews and comparison of operating trends and to identify strategies to improve the allocation of resources amongst segments. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s reportable segments were as follows: ● Debit and Credit; ● Prepaid Debit; ● Other. ​ Debit and Credit Segment The Debit and Credit segment primarily produces Financial Payment Cards and provides integrated card services, including digital services, for card-issuing financial institutions primarily in the United States. Products produced by this segment primarily include EMV and non-EMV Financial Payment Cards, including contact and contactless cards, and eco-focused cards. The Company also sells Card Once instant card issuance solutions, and private label credit cards that are not issued on the networks of the Payment Card Brands. The Company provides print-on-demand services, where images, personalized payment cards, and related collateral are produced on a one-by-one, on demand basis for customers. This segment also provides a variety of integrated card services, including card personalization and fulfillment services and instant issuance services. The Debit and Credit segment facilities and operations are audited for compliance with the standards of the PCI Security Standards Council by multiple Payment Card Brands. Prepaid Debit Segment The Prepaid Debit segment primarily provides integrated prepaid card services to Prepaid Debit Card providers primarily in the United States, including tamper-evident security packaging. This segment also produces Financial Payment Cards issued on the networks of the Payment Card Brands that are included in the tamper-evident security packages. The Prepaid Debit segment facilities and operations are audited for compliance with the standards of the PCI Security Standards Council by multiple Payment Card Brands. Other The Other segment includes corporate expenses. ​ Performance Measures of Reportable Segments Net sales and EBITDA of the Company’s reportable segments, as well as a reconciliation of total segment EBITDA to income from operations and net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended December 31, 2023 ​ Debit and Credit ​ Prepaid Debit ​ Other ​ Intersegment Eliminations ​ Total Net sales $ 361,057 ​ $ 84,237 ​ $ — ​ $ (747) ​ $ 444,547 Cost of sales ​ 234,281 ​ ​ 55,524 ​ ​ — ​ ​ (747) ​ ​ 289,058 Gross profit ​ 126,776 ​ ​ 28,713 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 155,489 Operating expenses ​ 31,870 ​ ​ 3,786 ​ ​ 58,243 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 93,899 Income (loss) from operations $ 94,906 ​ $ 24,927 ​ $ (58,243) ​ $ — ​ $ 61,590 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ EBITDA by segment: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Income (loss) from operations $ 94,906 ​ $ 24,927 ​ $ (58,243) ​ $ — ​ $ 61,590 Depreciation and amortization ​ 9,025 ​ ​ 2,860 ​ ​ 4,046 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 15,931 Other income (expenses) ​ 29 ​ ​ (1) ​ ​ (243) ​ ​ — ​ ​ (215) EBITDA $ 103,960 ​ $ 27,786 ​ $ (54,440) ​ $ — ​ $ 77,306 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended December 31, 2022 ​ Debit and Credit ​ Prepaid Debit ​ Other ​ Intersegment Eliminations ​ Total Net sales $ 390,559 ​ $ 86,136 ​ $ — ​ $ (950) ​ $ 475,745 Cost of sales ​ 246,345 ​ ​ 54,583 ​ ​ — ​ ​ (950) ​ ​ 299,978 Gross profit ​ 144,214 ​ ​ 31,553 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 175,767 Operating expenses ​ 34,169 ​ ​ 5,976 ​ ​ 56,492 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 96,637 Income (loss) from operations $ 110,045 ​ $ 25,577 ​ $ (56,492) ​ $ — ​ $ 79,130 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ EBITDA by segment: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Income (loss) from operations $ 110,045 ​ $ 25,577 ​ $ (56,492) ​ $ — ​ $ 79,130 Depreciation and amortization ​ 8,440 ​ ​ 2,310 ​ ​ 4,136 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 14,886 Other income (expenses) ​ (7) ​ ​ (43) ​ ​ (317) ​ ​ — ​ ​ (367) EBITDA $ 118,478 ​ $ 27,844 ​ $ (52,673) ​ $ — ​ $ 93,649 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2023 2022 Net income $ 23,985 $ 36,540 Interest, net ​ 26,913 ​ 29,616 Income tax expense ​ ​ 10,477 ​ ​ 12,607 Depreciation and amortization ​ 15,931 ​ 14,886 EBITDA $ 77,306 $ 93,649 ​ ​ Balance Sheet Data of Reportable Segments ​ Total assets of the Company’s reportable segments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2023 2022 Debit and Credit $ 235,680 $ 238,610 Prepaid Debit ​ ​ 38,265 ​ 38,138 Other ​ ​ 19,738 ​ 19,918 Total assets ​ $ 293,683 $ 296,666 ​ Capital Expenditures of Reportable Segments ​ Total capital expenditures of the Company’s reportable segments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2023 2022 Debit and Credit $ 5,116 $ 15,283 Prepaid Debit ​ ​ 963 ​ 2,309 Other ​ ​ 326 ​ 275 Total company capital expenditures ​ $ 6,405 $ 17,867 ​ Net Sales by Product and Services ​ Net sales from products and services sold by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2023 2022 Product net sales (1) $ 249,354 ​ $ 281,190 Services net sales (2) ​ ​ 195,193 ​ 194,555 Total net sales $ 444,547 $ 475,745 (1) “Products” net sales include the design and production of Financial Payment Cards in contact-EMV, contactless EMV, metal, contactless and magnetic stripe card formats.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents and they are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk	Trade Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral to secure accounts receivable. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 Trade accounts receivable $ 69,245 $ 68,886 Unbilled accounts receivable ​ 4,725 ​ 11,915 ​ ​ 73,970 ​ 80,801 Less allowance ​ ​ (246) ​ ​ (218) ​ ​ $ 73,724 ​ $ 80,583 ​ The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon its assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. Accounts are written off against the allowance when it is determined collection will not occur. The provision for credit losses was immaterial for both the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. ​ For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, one customer represented 18% and 16%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net sales.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods, and are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value (determined on a first-in, first-out or specific identification basis). Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Finished goods inventory represents primarily stock cards and Card Once printers. The stock cards are not produced for a specific customer, but are ready to be personalized and sold as customer orders are received. The Company monitors inventory for events or circumstances that may indicate the net realizable value is less than the carrying value of inventory, such as negative margins, expiration of material usage and other forms of obsolescence, and records adjustments to the valuation of inventory, as necessary. For the year ended December 31, 2023 approximately 96% of the total value of our purchased microchips and antennas came from four main suppliers, and approximately 72% came from one supplier. Approximately 97% of the total value of our purchased microchips and antennas for the year ended December 31, 2022 came from four main suppliers, and approximately 68% came from one supplier.
Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements	Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Plant, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Accumulated depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the related assets (generally 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, furniture, computer equipment, and leasehold improvements) or, when applicable, the lease term. Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Capital expenditures are presented net of lessor reimbursements on the consolidated statement of cash flows for assets acquired when corresponding financing leases were contemplated to be executed at the asset purchase date and such financing leases are entered into shortly after asset acquisition. Any financing leases executed for the acquisition of right-of-use machinery and equipment assets are presented in the supplemental disclosures of non-cash information on the statement of cash flows. Financing leases are further described in Note 9, “Financing and Operating Leases.” Long-lived assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or the carrying amounts of the asset group containing the asset may not be recoverable. In such reviews, estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with these assets or asset groups are compared with their carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company accounts for its goodwill under the authoritative guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets (ASC 350) and the provisions of ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment and tests at least annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying amount. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, a one-step quantitative test is then performed. Factors management considers in this assessment include macroeconomic, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance (both current and projected), cost increases impacting earnings and cash flows, changes in management and strategy, and changes in the composition or carrying amount of net assets. In the event a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, and are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In such reviews, estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with these assets are compared with their carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.
Sales Tax	​ Sales Tax The Company records sales tax collected from its customers on a net basis, and therefore excludes it from net sales as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities and maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent the Company determines that it will not realize the benefit of some or all of its deferred tax assets, then these deferred tax assets will be adjusted through the Company’s income tax expense in the period in which this determination is made. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions are likely to be challenged and may not be fully sustained on review by tax authorities. The Company adjusts uncertain tax positions in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or refinement of an estimate.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock - Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to ASC 718, Share-Based Payments.
Net Sales	Net Sales Products Net Sales “Products” net sales are recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. 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 the design and production of Financial Payment Cards, including contact-EMV, contactless dual-interface EMV, contactless and magnetic stripe cards, CPI’s eco-focused solutions, including Second Wave and Earthwise cards made with upcycled plastic, metal cards, private label credit cards and retail gift cards. Card Once printers and consumables are also included in “Products” net sales, and their associated revenues are recognized at the time of shipping. The Company includes gross shipping and handling revenue in net sales, and shipping and handling costs in cost of sales . Europay, Mastercard and Visa (“EMV®”) is a global technical standard maintained by EMV Co, LLC. 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 SaaS 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. The contract term as defined by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require management to make assumptions and estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities in its preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, leases, 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 Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the criteria under which credit losses on financial instruments (such as the Company’s trade receivables) are measured. The ASU introduces a new credit reserve model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology previously used under GAAP with an expected loss methodology. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the CECL model. The adoption of the model did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. ​ Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ​ In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will require enhanced segment disclosures. Adoption of this accounting standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company has elected not to early adopt this accounting standard in 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and does not anticipate that the application of ASU 2023-07 will change which segments are currently reported or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which will require a disaggregated rate reconciliation disclosure as well as additional information regarding taxes paid. Adoption of this accounting standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has elected not to early adopt this accounting standard in 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and does not anticipate that the application of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
