Company Overview CPI is a payments technology company providing a comprehensive range of physical and digital payment solutions for U.S. financial institutions, processors, fintechs, prepaid program managers, and more. We are a leader in several areas of the U.S. payment card solutions market, including debit and credit card production, personalization, and a cloud-based instant issuance solution. We are also a market leader in the production of “Prepaid Debit Cards,” defined as debit cards issued on the networks of the “Payment Card Brands” (Visa, Mastercard ® , American Express ® and Discover ® ) but not linked to a traditional bank account, and related secure packaging solutions. We serve thousands of customers through direct and indirect sales channels and have maintained long-standing relationships with our top customers. Our revenues are primarily generated from the production of and services related to secure debit and credit cards that are issued on the networks of the Payment Card Brands, including Prepaid Debit Cards. Segment Overview In connection with our increased strategic focus on expanding and developing additional proprietary integrated technological solutions for our customer base and to reflect the manner in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), manages our business, we implemented a revised 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 the results of our proprietary integrated technological related operations into a separate segment from the former Debit and Credit segment. Our business consists of the following reportable segments: • 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 acquired through the purchase of Arroweye in the second quarter of 2025; • 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 19 Table of Contents • Integrated Paytech: primarily provides cloud-based and on-premise solutions, which give 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. On June 23, 2026, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire an on-premise instant issuance solution, which includes the development, marketing, sale, licensing, and servicing of on-premise instant payment card issuance software solutions. The financial results of the acquired business are included in our Integrated Paytech segment. Operating results for prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. The updated information reflects only reclassification of prior period segment data and does not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements. Results of Operations The following table presents the components of our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for each of the periods presented: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change % Change 2026 2025 $ Change % Change (dollars in thousands) Revenue (1) $ 149,181 $ 129,753 $ 19,428 15.0 % $ 296,289 $ 252,514 $ 43,775 17.3 % Cost of goods sold (1) 100,695 89,633 11,062 12.3 % 203,679 171,698 31,981 18.6 % Gross profit 48,486 40,120 8,366 20.9 % 92,610 80,816 11,794 14.6 % Selling, general and administrative expenses 36,622 30,697 5,925 19.3 % 69,752 57,289 12,463 21.8 % Income from operations 11,864 9,423 2,441 25.9 % 22,858 23,527 (669) (2.8) % Other expense, net: Interest, net (7,405) (8,069) 664 8.2 % (15,061) (15,754) 693 4.4 % Other (expense) income, net (35) (13) (22) * (3) 5 (8) * Income before taxes and equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates 4,424 1,341 3,083 * 7,794 7,778 16 0.2 % Income tax expense (2,137) (823) (1,314) * (3,295) (2,486) (809) (32.5) % Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates (247) — (247) * (403) — (403) * Net income $ 2,040 $ 518 $ 1,522 293.8 % $ 4,096 $ 5,292 $ (1,196) (22.6) % Gross profit margin 32.5 % 30.9 % 31.3 % 32.0 % ________________________________________________________ * Calculation not meaningful. (1) For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenue and cost of goods sold each include $4.5 million and $3.5 million of intersegment eliminations, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenue and cost of goods sold each include $8.6 million and $8.3 million of intersegment eliminations, respectively. The following discussion of our condensed consolidated results of operations and segment results refers to the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding prior year period. The results of operations should be read in conjunction with the discussion of our segment results of operations, which provide more detailed discussions concerning certain components of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. 20 Table of Contents Revenue: Revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to increased revenue in our Secure Card Solutions segment excluding contributions from Arroweye, driven by increased volumes of contactless cards and higher personalization services; as well as higher revenue in our Prepaid Solutions segment. Additionally, revenue partially increased in our Secure Card Solutions segment due to contributions from the acquisition of Arroweye. Revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to increased revenue in our Secure Card Solutions segment excluding contributions from Arroweye, driven by increased volumes of contactless cards and higher personalization services. Additionally, revenue partially increased in our Secure Card Solutions segment due to contributions from the acquisition of Arroweye. Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin: Gross profit increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to the factors discussed above and net tariff refunds totaling approximately $3.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, partially offset by unfavorable changes in sales mix between segments and increased depreciation expenses. Additional changes in tariff rates could further impact our results of operations during 2026. Gross profit margin increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to increased revenue and tariff refunds, partially offset by unfavorable changes in sales mix between segments and increased depreciation expenses. Gross profit margin decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to unfavorable changes in sales mix between segments and increased depreciation expenses, partially offset by increased revenue and tariff refunds. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher compensation and related expenses, non-recurring acquisition and integration costs, and increased investments in technology. The increase in compensation and related expenses was primarily attributable to employee-related costs associated with the Arroweye acquisition and the development of our Integrated Paytech segment. The increase in Arroweye costs reflects the addition of personnel to our workforce and is expected to continue as part of ongoing operations. Investments in technology increased primarily due to the development of our Integrated Paytech segment and our acquisition of Arroweye. Interest, net : Interest expense was relatively consistent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Other Income, net: Other income, net, was relatively consistent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Income Tax Expense: Our effective tax rates on pre-tax income were 48.3% and 61.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 42.3% and 32.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year was primarily due to deferred state tax expense recognized as part of the Arroweye Solutions, Inc. acquisition in the prior-year period. The increase in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to the write off of a deferred tax asset associated with vested stock options that expired unexercised, as well as an increase in the valuation allowance related to a certain state decoupling from various favorable federal tax provisions. 21 Table of Contents Segment Discussion Secure Card Solutions: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change % Change 2026 2025 $ Change % Change (dollars in thousands) Revenue $ 110,867 $ 94,673 $ 16,194 17.1 % $ 220,718 $ 176,315 $ 44,403 25.2 % Gross profit $ 30,869 $ 23,918 $ 6,951 29.1 % $ 58,571 $ 44,737 $ 13,834 30.9 % Income from operations $ 21,020 $ 15,636 $ 5,384 34.4 % $ 38,288 $ 29,946 $ 8,342 27.9 % Gross profit margin 27.8 % 25.3 % 26.5 % 25.4 % Revenue: Revenue for Secure Card Solutions increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to contributions from the acquisition of Arroweye as described above, increased volumes of contactless cards and higher personalization services.

Our primary source of liquidity has been cash generated from our operating activities, which has been driven by net income and fluctuations in working capital. Our working capital fluctuates primarily due to timing and size of tax payments, collections from customers, inventory purchases, payments of employee incentive programs, and interest payments on our outstanding Senior Notes, with the interest payments being due in the first and third quarters of the year. Our ability to make investments in and grow our business, service our debt, and improve our debt leverage ratios, while maintaining strong liquidity, depends on our ability to generate excess operating cash flows. Although we can provide no assurances, we believe that our cash flows from operations, combined with our current cash levels and our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) with available borrowing capacity of $92.3 million as of June 30, 2026, will be adequate to fund debt service requirements and provide cash, as required, to support our ongoing operations, capital expenditures, lease obligations and working capital needs. Our future cash flows could be impacted by a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control. Factors include, but are not limited to, demand from some of our customers for certain products and related services; changes in economic conditions, especially those impacting our customers; the pricing, terms and availability of goods and services that we purchase; and financings that we enter into. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased to $42.1 million from $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to reduced working capital usage. Working capital benefited from decreased incentive payments related to a customer contract originally entered into in the first quarter of 2024, lower inventory purchases, decreased employee performance-based incentive compensation and severance payments, and decreased tax payments. These benefits were partially offset by timing of payments on accounts payable and prepaid expense balances. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Acquisition of an On-Premise Instant Issuance Solution On June 23, 2026, we acquired an on-premise instant issuance solution for a purchase price of $6.3 million. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand. Refer to Note 1, “Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for information regarding the acquisition. Capital Expenditures During the six months ended June 30, 2026, capital expenditures, including investments to support the business, such as machinery and information technology equipment, totaled $6.1 million. Cash Flows from Financing Activities As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had the following outstanding borrowings: June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands) Senior Notes $ 265,000 $ 265,000 ABL Revolver — 25,000 Unamortized deferred financing costs (2,861) (3,332) Total long-term debt $ 262,139 $ 286,668 24 Table of Contents Senior Notes On July 11, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), we completed a private offering by our wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI CG Inc. (the “Borrower”), 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. 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. ABL Revolver On the Closing Date, the Company and the Borrower entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan, (the “ABL Revolver”) providing for up to $75.0 million. 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. We primarily utilize our ABL Revolver to provide general liquidity and to support shorter term financing requirements. On July 2, 2025, the Company, the Borrower, and JPMorgan entered into 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. 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we made principal payments of $25.0 million on the ABL Revolver. On July 15, 2026, we borrowed $30.0 million under the ABL Revolver and redeemed $26.5 million of the outstanding $265.0 million aggregate principal amount Senior Notes. Amounts borrowed and outstanding under the ABL Revolver and Senior Notes are required to be repaid in full, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, no later than July 15, 2029 and may be subject to earlier mandatory prepayment upon certain events. Material Cash Requirements Our material cash requirements include interest payments on our long-term debt, operating and finance lease payments, and purchase obligations to support our operations. Debt Service Requirements As of June 30, 2026, the total projected principal and interest payments on our borrowings are $355.3 million, primarily related to the Senior Notes, of which $26.1 million of interest is expected to be paid in the next 12 months. The remaining interest payments are expected to be paid over the remaining term of the Senior Notes, which mature in 2029, and the principal is due upon maturity. We have estimated our future interest payments including an additional $30.0 million of borrowings under the ABL Revolver and early redemptions of principal of $26.5 million on the Senior Notes, both of which occurred on July 15, 2026. This also assumes no debt issuances or renewals upon the maturity dates of our notes. However, we may borrow additional amounts under the ABL Revolver, redeem principal on the Senior Notes early, or refinance all or a portion of our borrowings in future periods. Leases We lease equipment and real property for production and services. Refer to Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data , Note 9, “Financing and Operating Leases,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for details on our leasing arrangements, including future maturities of our operating lease liabilities. 25 Table of Contents In February 2024, we entered into a build-to-suit lease agreement to relocate and modernize our operations at our Fort Wayne, Indiana production facility, which commenced in the first quarter of 2025, and with payments beginning in 2026. Under this lease agreement, we will pay an annual base rent of $0.9 million, subject to an annual rent increase of 2.0% . The lease is for 10 years and includes two consecutive options to extend the term of the lease by five years for each such option. Purchase Obligations A purchase obligation is an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable, legally binding, and specifies all significant terms. As of June 30, 2026, there have not been any material changes to the purchase obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for which there were no material changes as of June 30, 2026, included: • Revenue recognition, including estimates of work performed but not completed , • Income taxes, including estimates regarding future compensation for covered individuals, valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, • Business combinations.
