Executive summary
Net sales rose 9% year-over-year to $129.8M in Q2 2025, or 15% excluding a one-time accounting change; Arroweye acquisition and debit/credit card growth were key drivers.
Net income dropped 91% to $0.5M due to Arroweye acquisition costs, restructuring charges, and higher interest expense; Adjusted EBITDA increased 3% to $22.5M.
Margin pressures arose from tariffs, sales mix, and increased production costs, impacting gross margin and profitability.
Arroweye contributed ~$10M in net sales in less than two months, exceeding expectations for both sales and profitability.
Strategic investments in healthcare payments, closed-loop prepaid, digital solutions, and facility expansion are expanding growth opportunities.

Adjusted EBITDA grew 3% to $22.5M; margin declined to 17.3% from 18.4%.
Free cash flow for H1 2025 was $0.8M, down from $1.4M prior year, due to higher capital spending.
Outlook and guidance
2025 net sales outlook raised to low double-digit to mid-teens growth, reflecting Arroweye acquisition; prior outlook was mid- to high single-digit growth.
Adjusted EBITDA outlook unchanged at mid- to high single-digit growth, as Arroweye benefits are offset by tariffs and sales mix.
Guidance does not include potential impacts from proposed chip tariffs announced August 6, 2025; company has ample chip inventory.
Margin pressures expected to persist in Q3, with improvement anticipated in Q4 as Indiana facility ramps up.
