CompoSecure Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results
CompoSecure (NASDAQ: CMPO) reported strong financial results for Q4 and FY 2024. Full-year net sales grew 8% to $420.6 million, driven by 7% domestic and 11% international growth. The company generated robust cash flow, with operating cash flow up 24% to $129.6 million and free cash flow increasing 62% to $84.9 million.
Q4 2024 highlights include net sales of $100.9 million (+1% YoY) and gross profit of $52.5 million (52.1% margin). The company reported a Q4 net loss of $48.4 million, primarily due to warrant liabilities valuation changes. For full-year 2024, adjusted EBITDA grew 4% to $151.4 million.
Notable achievements include reducing net debt by 60% to $120 million and completing the spin-off of Resolute Holdings on February 28, 2025. Looking ahead, CompoSecure projects mid-single digit growth for both net sales and adjusted EBITDA in 2025.

Insights
CompoSecure's FY2024 results demonstrate robust operational performance with net sales growth of 8% reaching $420.6 million, accompanied by impressive free cash flow generation up 62% to $84.9 million. The company's financial discipline is evident in the significant balance sheet improvement, reducing net debt by 60% to $120 million, primarily through converting $130 million of exchangeable notes to equity.
While GAAP results show net losses of $83.2 million for FY2024, this was primarily driven by accounting adjustments related to warrant liabilities and other items due to stock price movements rather than operational issues. More telling are the adjusted metrics, with Adjusted Net Income increasing 11% to $98.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA growing 4% to $151.4 million.
The gross margin compression to 52.1% (from 53.5%) warrants monitoring, as it reflects production inefficiencies from new card constructions and inflationary pressures. However, the company's international growth of 11% outpacing domestic growth of 7% signals successful market expansion.
The recent spin-off of Resolute Holdings represents a strategic repositioning that management believes will accelerate growth and diversify revenue. The conservative mid-single-digit growth guidance for 2025 suggests a measured approach, with the company explicitly noting that sales momentum will build throughout the year.
The significant debt reduction has dramatically improved CompoSecure's financial flexibility at 1.25x secured debt leverage ratio, positioning them well for their stated M&A ambitions while maintaining operational investments in their CompoSecure Operating System (COS) efficiency initiative.
CompoSecure's strategic position has strengthened considerably in 2024 through three key developments. First, the company's debt restructuring has transformed its financial flexibility, reducing net debt by 60% while maintaining growth. This positions them for strategic optionality in a consolidating industry.
Second, the Resolute Holdings spin-off appears to be a pivotal transformation in their corporate structure, though specific operational benefits remain undefined. New Executive Chairman Dave Cote's emphasis on "accretive M&A" signals a shift toward inorganic growth strategies alongside organic initiatives.
Third, the first positive contribution from Arculus in Q4 represents a potential inflection point for this growth vector, with management projecting continued positive contribution throughout 2025.
The company's investment in the CompoSecure Operating System indicates a focus on operational excellence to combat margin pressures from both innovation costs and inflation. This systematic approach to efficiency could help offset the slight gross margin compression seen in 2024.
The 11% international growth rate, though from a smaller base than domestic operations, demonstrates successful market penetration beyond their core market. The company's award recognition and continued partnerships with premium financial brands (Delta, American Express, HSBC) reinforce their premium positioning in the metal card market.
While the mid-single-digit growth guidance appears conservative, it likely reflects both macroeconomic caution and a transition year as they implement new strategic initiatives. The explicit statement that momentum will build throughout 2025 suggests potential upside to initial expectations as their operational improvements take hold.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management. Although CompoSecure believes that its plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, CompoSecure cannot assure you that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions, or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning CompoSecure’s possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. In some instances, these statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of the date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors, among others, could affect CompoSecure’s future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in CompoSecure’s forward-looking statements: the possibility that the spin-off will not achieve its intended benefits; the ability of the Company to successfully execute its plans and strategies, including with respect to M&A; the possibility of disruption, including changes to existing business relationships, disputes, litigation or unanticipated costs in connection with the spin-off; uncertainty of the expected financial performance of CompoSecure or Resolute Holdings following completion of the spin-off; evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes; actions by third parties, including government agencies; the ability of CompoSecure to diversify its business and customer base and to achieve enhancements in organic growth and operational efficiency, including for any future acquired companies; the ability of CompoSecure to create value for its shareholders and generate robust free cash flow; the ability of CompoSecure to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers, compete within its industry and retain its key employees; the possibility that CompoSecure may be adversely impacted by other global economic, business, competitive and/or other factors; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CompoSecure or others; future exchange and interest rates; and other risks and uncertainties, including those under “Risk Factors” in filings that have been made or will be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CompoSecure undertakes no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and that may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. CompoSecure believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are useful to investors in evaluating CompoSecure’s financial performance. CompoSecure uses these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor its business, as well as evaluate its underlying historical performance and/or to measure incentive compensation, as we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures depict the true performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and controllable events, enabling CompoSecure to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. Due to the forward-looking nature of the financial guidance included above, specific quantification of the charges excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures included in such financial guidance, including with respect to depreciation, amortization, interest, and taxes, that would be required to reconcile the non GAAP financial measures included in such financial guidance to GAAP measures are not available, so it is not feasible to provide accurate forecasted non-GAAP reconciliations without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included, and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included. In addition, CompoSecure’s debt agreements contain covenants that use a variation of these measures for purposes of determining debt covenant compliance. CompoSecure believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that its management uses in analyzing operating results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt should not be considered as measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are significant components in understanding and assessing CompoSecure’s financial performance. Accordingly, these key business metrics have limitations as an analytical tool. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of CompoSecure’s liquidity and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Please refer to the information included in this press release for the reconciliation of GAAP measures to these non-GAAP measures.
