CompoSecure shares fall as Q1 earnings miss estimates

Investing.com -- CompoSecure, Inc. (NASDAQ:CMPO), a provider of metal payment cards and security solutions, reported first quarter 2025 results that missed earnings estimates despite revenue slightly beating expectations. The company’s shares fell 4% following the announcement.

CompoSecure posted adjusted earnings per share of -$0.07 for the quarter, falling short of analyst estimates of $0.19. Revenue came in at $103.9 million, marginally above the consensus forecast of $103.44 million and relatively flat compared to $104.0 million in the same quarter last year.

The company’s GAAP results were impacted by accounting changes related to the spin-off of Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. on February 28. On a non-GAAP basis, which provides a clearer picture of underlying performance, CompoSecure reported consolidated net sales of $103.9 million and adjusted earnings per share of $0.25.

"We started the year with solid execution across our payment card and Arculus business," said Jon Wilk, President and CEO of CompoSecure. "Demand has continued to strengthen throughout the second quarter, reflecting strong sales momentum, and we anticipate this sustained growth trajectory will carry through the remainder of the year."

The company reiterated its full-year 2025 guidance, projecting mid-single digit growth in both consolidated net sales and pro forma adjusted EBITDA. CompoSecure expects sales momentum to build throughout the year.

As of March 31, 2025, CompoSecure had $71.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $195.0 million in total debt on a non-GAAP basis. This compares to $55.1 million in cash and $335.6 million in debt at the same time last year.

Despite the earnings miss, management remained optimistic about the company’s prospects, citing ongoing implementation of the CompoSecure Operating System and growing demand for its metal payment cards and Arculus authentication solutions.
