Jon Wilk, President and CEO of CompoSecure, noted: “CompoSecure’s third quarter performance exceeded expectations across all key metrics, driven by strong customer demand, expansion of existing programs, new client wins, and significant operating improvements. The CompoSecure Operating System continues to serve as the foundation of our execution, enabling double-digit organic growth, gross margin expansion, and enhanced profitability. Arculus delivered another net positive quarter and continues to gain traction with banks and fintechs that are launching innovative card programs and seeking integrated security solutions. With sales momentum building and operating efficiency improving, we are raising our 2025 outlook and introducing guidance for 2026.”
Dave Cote, CompoSecure’s Executive Chairman, stated: “A year after our investment in CompoSecure, we are beginning to see results from the implementation of the Operating System and the focus on developing a high-performance culture. These efforts, and the related investments we initiated last year, are beginning to pay off. The business is performing well, but we are still early, and believe more in the future opportunity for CompoSecure than when we first invested.”
“In addition to the strong quarter at CompoSecure, we are delighted to announce the business combination with Husky. This is a business Tom and I have long admired, and it hits all the key criteria we look for in every investment – it holds a great position in a good industry, significant technology differentiation, organic and inorganic growth possibilities, and margin expansion potential. We are excited to begin working with the Husky team and believe the combined business is uniquely well positioned to deliver for investors.”
Husky will be run as a standalone business alongside CompoSecure and will continue to operate under its current management team.
“We believe this combination will create value and unlock new opportunities for Husky and its stakeholders,” said Platinum Equity Co-President Louis Samson. “We have great respect for David Cote’s leadership, share his conviction in this opportunity and are excited to roll more than

This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management. Although CompoSecure believes that its plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, CompoSecure cannot assure you that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions, or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning CompoSecure’s possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, results of operations, demand, the implementation of the CompoSecure Operating System and guidance for 2025 and 2026 are forward-looking statements. In some instances, these statements may be preceded by, followed by, or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “outlook” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of the date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors, among others, could affect CompoSecure’s future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in CompoSecure’s forward-looking statements: the ability of CompoSecure to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers, compete within its industry and retain its key employees; the possibility that CompoSecure may be adversely impacted by other global economic, business, competitive and/or other factors, including tariffs; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CompoSecure or others; future exchange and interest rates; changes in our accounting and/or financial presentation; and other risks and uncertainties, including those under “Risk Factors” in filings that have been made or will be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CompoSecure undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Due to the spin-off of Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. and the resulting shift to equity method accounting under GAAP beginning February 28, 2025, CompoSecure is presenting a broader set of Non-GAAP measures, including an Adjusted Statement of Operations (Unaudited), an Adjusted Balance Sheet (Unaudited) to provide investors with financial information that we believe allows for greater comparability with our historical financial presentation and better represents the underlying performance of the standalone business across reporting periods. This press release also includes certain Non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and that may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. CompoSecure believes Non-GAAP Net Sales, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income, Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS (Basic and Diluted), Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income, Non-GAAP Cash, Non-GAAP Net Debt, Non-GAAP Net Debt Leverage Ratio and Free Cash Flow, and related measures are useful to investors in evaluating CompoSecure’s financial performance. Specifically, we believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS (Basic and Diluted) Non-GAAP Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide valuable insight into operational efficiency independent of capital structure and tax environment; Non-GAAP Net Sales, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Cash, Non-GAAP Net Debt, Non-GAAP Net Debt Leverage Ratio and Free Cash Flow offer investors a clearer view of ongoing profitability by excluding non-recurring and non-operational items; and related measures provide greater comparability with CompoSecure’s historical results, following the change in accounting presentation required as a result of the spin-off of Resolute Holdings. CompoSecure uses these Non-GAAP measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor its business, as well as evaluate its underlying historical performance and/or measure incentive compensation. We believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures depict the true performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and controllable events, enabling CompoSecure to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. These Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and assessing CompoSecure’s financial performance. Accordingly, these key business metrics have limitations as an analytical tool. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of CompoSecure’s liquidity. These Non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly titled Non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Additionally, CompoSecure’s debt agreements contain covenants based on variations of these measures for purposes of determining debt covenant compliance. CompoSecure believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that its management uses in analyzing operating results. Please refer to the tables below for the reconciliation of GAAP measures to these Non-GAAP measures. Due to the forward-looking nature of the financial guidance included above, the charges excluded from the forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures including Non-GAAP Net Sales, Non-GAAP Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (including year-over-year growth and multiples), including with respect to depreciation, amortization, interest, and taxes that would be required to reconcile the Non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures are inherently uncertain or difficult to predict, so it is not feasible to provide accurate forecasted Non-GAAP reconciliations without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included, and no reconciliation of the forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures is included.
