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.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company revised our financial statement presentation to better reflect the integrated nature of the services and solutions provided in connection with its product offerings. Accordingly, the Company no longer presents “Products” and “Services” separately within revenue and cost of goods sold, and prior period amounts have been revised to conform the prior period presentation to the current period presentation.

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, recognition of amounts and timing of contract costs and uncertain tax positions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

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, 2025 and 2024.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, one customer represented 16% and 18%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods, and work in process, 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 hardware. 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, 2025 approximately 93% of the total value of purchased microchips and antennas came from three main suppliers, and approximately 74% came from one supplier. Approximately 95% of the total value of purchased microchips and antennas for the year ended December 31, 2024 came from three main suppliers, and approximately 78% came from one supplier.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that most assets (both tangible and intangible) and liabilities are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets and liabilities made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is one year or less, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Results of operations of the acquired company are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

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, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other) 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.

Equity Method Investments

The Company accounts for investments in entities over which it has significant influence, but not control or joint control, using the equity method of accounting under ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Significant influence is generally presumed to exist when the Company holds 20% or more of the voting power of the investee, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that such influence does not exist.

 

Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is subsequently adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of the investee’s net income or loss, which is recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The carrying amount of the investment is also adjusted for the Company’s share of other comprehensive income or loss of the investee and is reduced by any dividends received from the investee.

 

The Company assesses its equity method investments for indicators of impairment at each reporting period. If impairment indicators exist and the fair value of the investment has declined below its carrying value and is deemed to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

 

On October 7, 2025, the Company acquired a 20% equity interest in Gift Card Co Pty Ltd, doing business as “Karta.” The total consideration for the transaction was $10.0 million, with $2.5 million paid in cash upon closing, and the remaining $7.5 million recorded as contingent consideration, which is included in “Other long-term liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The contingent consideration is payable in the form of rebates based on future sales to Karta. The Company also retains an option to purchase an additional 31% of Karta prior to early April 2027. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.3 million in related costs. As of December 31, 2025, the value of the investment was $10.2 million and is included in “Other assets” on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Sales Tax

The Company records sales tax collected from its customers on a net basis, and therefore excludes it from revenue as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Cash collected from customers is recorded in “Accrued expenses” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and then remitted to the proper taxing authority.

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. The Company recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to ASC 718, Share-Based Payments. All stock-based compensation is required to be measured at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur and reverses previously recognized expense for the unvested portion of the forfeited shares. The Company recognizes compensation expense on awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for each tranche of an award. Upon the exercise of stock options, shares of common stock are issued from authorized common shares. Refer to Note 16 “Stock-Based Compensation” for additional discussion regarding details of the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

Revenue Recognition

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company reassessed certain aspects of its revenue recognition practices under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and the legal enforceability of certain contract terms based on evolving business practices where the Company and a customer deviate from contract terms after an order is placed but before it is shipped. This assessment highlights the Company’s approach relating to goods that are in production but have not yet shipped, reflecting its emphasis on maintaining long-term customer relationships.

Such deviations may impact the legal enforceability of payment terms for goods that are in the process of being produced but have not shipped. As a result, the Company concluded that certain contracts no longer meet the criteria for over-time revenue recognition under ASC 606. Effective prospectively beginning in the second quarter of 2025, the Company began recognizing revenue for these contracts at a point in time, typically upon shipment or customer acceptance. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition and integration of Arroweye Solutions, Inc. ("Arroweye") during the second quarter of 2025, the Company assessed Arroweye’s customer contracts and determined that Arroweye revenue should also be recognized at point-in-time.

Customer Contracts

The Company often enters into Master Services Agreements (“MSAs”) with its customers. Generally, enforceable rights and obligations for goods and related 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 is the length of time it takes to deliver the goods or services promised under the purchase order or statement of work. As such, the Company's contracts are generally short term in nature.

Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

Costs to obtain a contract (“contract costs”) include only costs that the Company would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. For contracts in which the term is greater than one year, these costs are recorded as an asset and amortized consistent with the timing of the related revenue over the life of the contract. Contract costs incurred but unpaid are included in “Accrued expenses” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Contract costs are expensed as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less. Assets capitalized for contract costs are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairments were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”, and $8.1 million and $11.1 million, respectively, in “Other assets” related to capitalized contract costs. Amortization of these costs, recorded as a reduction of revenue, totaled $2.6 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. Although adoption of this accounting standard would have been effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, the Company elected to early adopt the standard in the third quarter of 2025. Adoption of ASU 2025-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires a disaggregated rate reconciliation disclosure as well as additional information regarding taxes paid on an annual basis. The Company adopted the standard and applied the disclosure requirements on a retrospective basis effective for the year ended December 31, 2025. Adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. Adoption of this accounting standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require disclosure of disaggregated information about certain expense captions presented in the income statement. Adoption of this accounting standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

On May 6, 2025, the Company acquired Arroweye, a leading provider of on-demand payment card solutions for the U.S. market based in Las Vegas, Nevada, for a purchase price of $45.8 million. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and the Company’s available capacity under the ABL Revolver (defined in Note 10, “Long-Term Debt”), with $1.5 million of the purchase price held in escrow, of which was fully relieved in the fourth quarter of 2025. Additionally, the Company incurred $6.0 million of acquisition and integration costs during the year ended December 31, 2025, which are presented in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

The Arroweye financial results are included in the Company's Debit and Credit segment from the date of acquisition.

All assets and liabilities have been recorded at fair value, excluding deferred tax liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocations of purchase price:

The fair values of the trademark and customer relationships were determined using the relief from royalty and excess earnings methodologies, respectively. The fair value of acquired technology was determined using the cost to replace methodology. The valuations of the intangible assets were derived using Level 3 inputs and require significant judgment and estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows and the determination of royalty and discount rates.

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:

The aggregate fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes (defined in Note 10, “Long-Term Debt”) was based on quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are not active and, as a result, they are classified as Level 2 inputs. The fair value measurement associated with the ABL Revolver approximates its carrying value as of December 31, 2025, given the applicable variable interest rates.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable each approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

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. However, these options are generally not reflected in the calculation of the ROU assets and lease liabilities due to uncertainty surrounding the likelihood of renewal.

Senior Notes

On July 11, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a private offering by its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI CG Inc., of $285.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) and related guarantees at an issue price of 100%. The Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2029 and interest is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year.

Net proceeds from the Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem the entire principal balance of $267.9 million of the 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”) as of the Closing Date, and to pay related fees, an early redemption premium of 2.156%, and other expenses. The early redemption premium paid is recorded in “Interest, net” on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2024.

On July 15, 2025, the Company used available capacity under the ABL Revolver (defined below) to redeem $20.0 million of its outstanding $285.0 million aggregate principal amount Senior Notes. The redemption was made pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, at a redemption price of 103.000% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2029. Interest is payable on the Senior Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (other than the Issuer), and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. 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 and certain asset sales. The Senior Notes also require the Company to comply with certain covenants limiting the ability of the Company 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 Company’s 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 indenture governing the Senior Notes.

ABL Revolver

On the Closing Date, the Company and CPI CG Inc. as borrower (the “Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender, administrative agent and collateral agent (“JPMorgan”), providing for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) of up to $75.0 million.

On July 2, 2025, the Company, the Borrower, and JPMorgan entered into Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amends the ABL Revolver to, among other things, increase the available borrowing capacity from $75.0 million to $100.0 million. The Amendment did not modify the maturity date of the ABL Revolver nor the interest rate.

The ABL Revolver consists of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans provided by lenders, with a sublimit on letters of credit outstanding at any time of $10.0 million. The ABL Revolver also includes an uncommitted accordion feature whereby the Borrower may increase the ABL Revolver commitment by an aggregate amount not to exceed $25.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The ABL Revolver matures on the earliest to occur of July 11, 2029 and the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Senior Notes.

Borrowings under the ABL Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum that ranges based on the applicable term secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 1.50% to 1.75% (subject, in each case, to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%), based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolver over the most recently completed month. 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 excess availability under the ABL Revolver over the immediately preceding month.

The ABL Revolver includes limitations on the Borrower’s ability to borrow in certain situations, including limitations based on the calculation of borrowing capacity and further limitations that are triggered if the amount available to borrow under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of $7.5 million and 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount. 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 (the “Borrowing Base”) and b) the Maximum Revolver Amount. The Borrowing Base is further reduced by credit line reserves and 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 the greater of $7.5 million and 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and until such time that borrowing capacity equals or exceeds the greater of $7.5 million and 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount for 30 consecutive days, the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) of at least 1.00 to 1.00, calculated for the trailing 12 months, in order to borrow under the ABL Revolver.

The ABL Revolver contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company, the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 ABL Credit Agreement.

Deferred Financing Costs

Certain costs incurred with borrowings are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the borrowing. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs recorded on the Senior Notes were $3.3 million and were reported as a reduction to the long-term debt balance. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs on the ABL Revolver were $1.3 million and were recorded as other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a $0.3 million loss on debt extinguishment relating to the unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the redemption of the Senior Notes.

The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year related to non-deductible acquisition-related costs and increased state tax expenses related to the acquisition of Arroweye. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 was impacted by the increased deductibility of stock-based compensation realized upon certain stock option exercises and restricted stock unit vesting.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, which had a tax rate impact of 8.0%. Other items impacting the effective tax rate in 2025 include tax deductibility limitations on executive compensation and permanent items. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, which had a tax rate impact of 5.7%. Other items impacting the effective tax rate in 2024 include tax deductibility limitations on executive compensation, permanent items and unrecognized tax benefits due to statute of limitations.

The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025, is primarily related to Arroweye’s net operating losses that are limited to taxable income generated from acquired business, and the use of state interest deductions that may generate future state net operating losses, which may not be fully recognized.

The Company has state and local operating loss carryforwards which will expire at various dates from 2033 to 2038. The Company generally expects to be able to utilize these losses prior to expiration, but applied a valuation allowance to losses that may not be fully recognized.

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 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” on 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.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the annual effective tax rate is $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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 $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign examinations for years after 2020.

13. Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive securities of 18,848 and 36,826, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The effect of these shares was anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method, as the assumed proceeds of the options and restricted stock per unit were above our average share price during the periods.

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 2026 and 2035 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 2026 and 2030 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. The Company is 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.

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. Effective January 30, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Omnibus Plan to increase the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and available for issuance thereunder by 1,000,000 shares, resulting in a total of 3,200,000 shares issuable under the Omnibus Plan.

As of December 31, 2025, there were 783,837 shares of common stock available for grant under the Omnibus Plan. Options have seven-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 restricted stock unit awards contain conditions associated with continued employment or service. Restricted stock units granted in 2025 are expected to vest ratably over a one or three-year period on each anniversary of the grant date. Shares of common stock will be issued to the award recipients on the vesting date. The weighted average fair value of restricted stock units granted during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $18.96 and $23.90, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $6.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

During 2025, executives received a quarterly restricted stock unit grant comprising one-fourth of the annual equity-based incentive component of their total compensation. The number of shares awarded was determined based on a value tied to the monthly average closing price of the Company’s common stock.

In January 2024, the Company granted 60,000 performance stock units (PSU) in connection with the appointment of its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), with a grant date fair value of $0.9 million using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The PSU award will vest, subject to continuous employment, in equal one-third increments upon the attainment of the rolling weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock equaling or exceeding each of $35.00, $50.00, and $65.00, in each case, for at least 90 consecutive trading days during the five-year performance period commencing on the grant date.

In February 2025, the Company granted executives a performance cash award (PCA) with a grant date fair value of $2.0 million using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The PCA vested on December 31, 2025, and was subject to continuous employment and the achievement of certain Company performance goals including the Company’s relative total shareholder return of stock against the Russell 2000 index. Because the award is liability-classified, the award is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and at settlement, with changes recognized as stock-based compensation expense.

As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options and restricted stock units was $5.7 million, which the Company expects to recognize over an estimated weighted-average period of less than one year.

17. Segment Reporting

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its CEO, who is charged with the 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 the measures of revenue and EBITDA.

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 (“CODM”) 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 CODM 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, 2025, the Company’s reportable segments were as follows:

Debit and Credit,
Prepaid Debit, and
Other.

Debit and Credit Segment

The Debit and Credit segment primarily produces secure debit and credit cards and provides card services, including digital services, for U.S. card-issuing financial institutions. Products produced by this segment primarily include payment cards, including contact, contactless, eco-focused, and magnetic stripe cards. This segment also provides personalization services; instant issuance solutions, which provide customers the ability to issue an instant personalized debit or credit card on-demand within a customer location; and other payment solutions such as digital push provisioning for mobile wallets.

Prepaid Debit Segment

The Prepaid Debit segment primarily provides integrated prepaid card services to prepaid program managers primarily in the U.S., including payment cards issued on the networks of the Payment Card Brands and related tamper-evident secure packaging.

Other

The Other segment includes corporate expenses.

Performance Measures of Reportable Segments

Revenue 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 years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

Balance Sheet Data and Capital Expenditures of Reportable Segments

The Company does not report assets or capital expenditures by segment as the Company’s CODM does not use this information to evaluate reportable segments. Accordingly, the Company does not regularly provide such information by segment to the CODM.

2026 Changes in Reportable Segments

In connection with the Company’s increased strategic focus on expanding and developing additional proprietary integrated technological solutions for its customer base, the Company will implement a new segment structure to assess performance and allocate resources, beginning in the first quarter of 2026. The changes in our segment structure primarily relate to the separation of our proprietary integrated technological related operations into a separate segment from the Debit and Credit segment. A summary of how the segments will be structured follows:

Secure Card Solutions: primarily produces secure debit and credit cards and provides card personalization services for U.S. card-issuing financial institutions, including highly customizable, on-demand payment card solutions;

Prepaid Solutions: primarily provides prepaid debit cards and secure packaging solutions and other integrated prepaid card services to prepaid program managers in the U.S.; and

Integrated Paytech: primarily provides a SaaS-based instant issuance solution, which gives customers the ability to issue an instant personalized debit or credit card within a customer location; and other digital payment solutions such as push provisioning for mobile wallets.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]

Cyber threat actors and the types of threats posed are becoming more sophisticated and effective and are increasingly targeting commercial companies. In seeking to mitigate these cyber threats to our business, we take a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity risk management and make securing the data, customers and other stakeholders entrusted to us, a top priority.

The Board of Directors and our management are actively involved in the oversight of our risk management program, which includes cybersecurity. We have established policies, standards, processes and practices for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. There may be instances where our policies and procedures are not properly followed or where such policies and procedures prove to be ineffective. As of the date hereof, we are not aware of any material risk from cybersecurity threats that has materially affected the Company, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. We can provide no assurance that there will not be incidents in the future or that such incidents will not materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For more information regarding risks related to system security risks, data protection breaches and cyber-attacks, see the risk factor entitled “System security risks, data protection breaches, and cyber-attacks could compromise our proprietary information, impair customer and vendor relationships, disrupt our internal operations, harm perception of our products and expose us to litigation and/or regulatory penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our reputation” included as part of our risk factor disclosures at Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risk Management and Strategy

Our policies and processes for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats are integrated into our overall risk management program and are based on the frameworks established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) and other applicable industry standards. Our cybersecurity program in particular focuses on the following key areas:

Collaboration

We work to identify and address our cybersecurity risks through a comprehensive, cross-functional approach. Key security, risk and compliance stakeholders meet regularly to develop strategies for preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Company and customer information, identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents. We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to encourage prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding customer and supplier disclosure, public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management and the Board of Directors in a timely manner.

Risk Assessment

Annually, the Security Committee (defined below) conducts a cybersecurity risk assessment that takes into account information from internal stakeholders, known information security vulnerabilities and information from external sources (e.g., reported security incidents that have impacted other companies, industry trends and evaluations by third parties and consultants). The results of the assessment are used to drive alignment on, and prioritization of, initiatives to enhance our security controls, make recommendations to improve processes and inform a broader enterprise-level risk assessment that is analyzed by the Security Committee and presented to the Board of Directors, Audit Committee and members of management.

Technical Safeguards

The Company’s cybersecurity program evaluates new threats to learn new attacker techniques, adopt defenses and implement new safeguards designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats. These safeguards are evaluated and improved based on, for example, vulnerability assessments, cybersecurity threat intelligence and incident response experience. Independent assessments of the safeguards by external third-party consultants, which also include the detection of threats, are evaluated and improvements to systems are assessed and incorporated where appropriate.

Incident Response and Recovery Planning

In an effort to effectively respond to a security event, we follow a comprehensive cybersecurity incident response plan. We regularly review, test and evaluate the plan for effectiveness.

Third-Party Risk Management

We have implemented controls designed to identify and mitigate cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers. Such providers are subject to security risk assessments at the time of onboarding, contract renewal and upon detection of an increase in risk profile. We use a variety of inputs in such risk assessments, including information supplied by providers and third parties. In addition, we require our providers to meet appropriate security requirements, controls and responsibilities and investigate security incidents that have impacted our third-party providers, as appropriate.

Education and Awareness

Our Company policies require our employees to assist in the protection of our customers’ data. We have various training programs, conducted frequently, designed to heighten employees' awareness of current threats, educate them on effective mitigation strategies and reinforce the importance of handling and safeguarding customer and employee data in accordance with our established security protocols. To evaluate the effectiveness of these training programs and monitor the effectiveness of our security controls, we have implemented mock testing practices. Annual incident response training is conducted for administrative personnel that would be expected to be involved with, and respond to, a security incident.

External Assessments

Our cybersecurity policies, standards, processes and practices are regularly assessed by consultants and external auditors. These assessments include a variety of activities including information security maturity assessments, audits and independent reviews of our information security control environment and operating effectiveness. We conduct regular independent cyber audits to assess our controls and alignment against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, compromise assessments to baseline and assess if a current or past compromise had occurred within our infrastructure, and maintain industry certifications and attestations that demonstrate our dedication to protecting customer data. The results of significant assessments are reported to management, the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Cybersecurity processes are adjusted based on the information provided from these assessments, as appropriate.

Key security, risk and compliance stakeholders meet regularly to develop strategies for preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Company and customer information, identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents. We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to encourage prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding customer and supplier disclosure, public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management and the Board of Directors in a timely manner.

Risk Assessment

Annually, the Security Committee (defined below) conducts a cybersecurity risk assessment that takes into account information from internal stakeholders, known information security vulnerabilities and information from external sources (e.g., reported security incidents that have impacted other companies, industry trends and evaluations by third parties and consultants). The results of the assessment are used to drive alignment on, and prioritization of, initiatives to enhance our security controls, make recommendations to improve processes and inform a broader enterprise-level risk assessment that is analyzed by the Security Committee and presented to the Board of Directors, Audit Committee and members of management.

Technical Safeguards

The Company’s cybersecurity program evaluates new threats to learn new attacker techniques, adopt defenses and implement new safeguards designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats. These safeguards are evaluated and improved based on, for example, vulnerability assessments, cybersecurity threat intelligence and incident response experience. Independent assessments of the safeguards by external third-party consultants, which also include the detection of threats, are evaluated and improvements to systems are assessed and incorporated where appropriate.

Incident Response and Recovery Planning

In an effort to effectively respond to a security event, we follow a comprehensive cybersecurity incident response plan. We regularly review, test and evaluate the plan for effectiveness.

Third-Party Risk Management

We have implemented controls designed to identify and mitigate cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers. Such providers are subject to security risk assessments at the time of onboarding, contract renewal and upon detection of an increase in risk profile. We use a variety of inputs in such risk assessments, including information supplied by providers and third parties. In addition, we require our providers to meet appropriate security requirements, controls and responsibilities and investigate security incidents that have impacted our third-party providers, as appropriate.

Education and Awareness

Our Company policies require our employees to assist in the protection of our customers’ data. We have various training programs, conducted frequently, designed to heighten employees' awareness of current threats, educate them on effective mitigation strategies and reinforce the importance of handling and safeguarding customer and employee data in accordance with our established security protocols. To evaluate the effectiveness of these training programs and monitor the effectiveness of our security controls, we have implemented mock testing practices. Annual incident response training is conducted for administrative personnel that would be expected to be involved with, and respond to, a security incident.

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.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company revised our financial statement presentation to better reflect the integrated nature of the services and solutions provided in connection with its product offerings. Accordingly, the Company no longer presents “Products” and “Services” separately within revenue and cost of goods sold, and prior period amounts have been revised to conform the prior period presentation to the current period presentation.

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, recognition of amounts and timing of contract costs and uncertain tax positions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

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, 2025 and 2024.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, one customer represented 16% and 18%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods, and work in process, 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 hardware. 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, 2025 approximately 93% of the total value of purchased microchips and antennas came from three main suppliers, and approximately 74% came from one supplier. Approximately 95% of the total value of purchased microchips and antennas for the year ended December 31, 2024 came from three main suppliers, and approximately 78% came from one supplier.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that most assets (both tangible and intangible) and liabilities are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets and liabilities made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is one year or less, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Results of operations of the acquired company are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

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, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other) 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.

Equity Method Investments

Equity Method Investments

The Company accounts for investments in entities over which it has significant influence, but not control or joint control, using the equity method of accounting under ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Significant influence is generally presumed to exist when the Company holds 20% or more of the voting power of the investee, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that such influence does not exist.

 

Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is subsequently adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of the investee’s net income or loss, which is recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The carrying amount of the investment is also adjusted for the Company’s share of other comprehensive income or loss of the investee and is reduced by any dividends received from the investee.

 

The Company assesses its equity method investments for indicators of impairment at each reporting period. If impairment indicators exist and the fair value of the investment has declined below its carrying value and is deemed to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

 

Sales Tax

Sales Tax

The Company records sales tax collected from its customers on a net basis, and therefore excludes it from revenue as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Cash collected from customers is recorded in “Accrued expenses” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and then remitted to the proper taxing authority.

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. The Company recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to ASC 718, Share-Based Payments. All stock-based compensation is required to be measured at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur and reverses previously recognized expense for the unvested portion of the forfeited shares. The Company recognizes compensation expense on awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for each tranche of an award. Upon the exercise of stock options, shares of common stock are issued from authorized common shares. Refer to Note 16 “Stock-Based Compensation” for additional discussion regarding details of the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company reassessed certain aspects of its revenue recognition practices under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and the legal enforceability of certain contract terms based on evolving business practices where the Company and a customer deviate from contract terms after an order is placed but before it is shipped. This assessment highlights the Company’s approach relating to goods that are in production but have not yet shipped, reflecting its emphasis on maintaining long-term customer relationships.

Such deviations may impact the legal enforceability of payment terms for goods that are in the process of being produced but have not shipped. As a result, the Company concluded that certain contracts no longer meet the criteria for over-time revenue recognition under ASC 606. Effective prospectively beginning in the second quarter of 2025, the Company began recognizing revenue for these contracts at a point in time, typically upon shipment or customer acceptance. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition and integration of Arroweye Solutions, Inc. ("Arroweye") during the second quarter of 2025, the Company assessed Arroweye’s customer contracts and determined that Arroweye revenue should also be recognized at point-in-time.

Customer Contracts

The Company often enters into Master Services Agreements (“MSAs”) with its customers. Generally, enforceable rights and obligations for goods and related 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 is the length of time it takes to deliver the goods or services promised under the purchase order or statement of work. As such, the Company's contracts are generally short term in nature.

Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

Costs to obtain a contract (“contract costs”) include only costs that the Company would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. For contracts in which the term is greater than one year, these costs are recorded as an asset and amortized consistent with the timing of the related revenue over the life of the contract. Contract costs incurred but unpaid are included in “Accrued expenses” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Contract costs are expensed as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less. Assets capitalized for contract costs are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairments were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”, and $8.1 million and $11.1 million, respectively, in “Other assets” related to capitalized contract costs. Amortization of these costs, recorded as a reduction of revenue, totaled $2.6 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. Although adoption of this accounting standard would have been effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, the Company elected to early adopt the standard in the third quarter of 2025. Adoption of ASU 2025-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires a disaggregated rate reconciliation disclosure as well as additional information regarding taxes paid on an annual basis. The Company adopted the standard and applied the disclosure requirements on a retrospective basis effective for the year ended December 31, 2025. Adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. Adoption of this accounting standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require disclosure of disaggregated information about certain expense captions presented in the income statement. Adoption of this accounting standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
