📊 AI Financial Analysis
Powered by StockMarketInfo"CMPO reported Q1’26 results with essentially no operating revenue (revenue shown as 0) and a sharp loss profile: EPS was -2.13 and net income was -$235.0M. On a YoY basis versus Q1’25, revenue appears to have deteriorated from $59.8M to $0 (reported), while net income swung from +$21.5M profit to a -$235.0M loss (a deterioration of about -1,195% YoY). QoQ comparisons also show extreme deterioration versus Q4’25, where revenue was reported as -$59.5B and net income was -$60.6B; given the inconsistent line items across quarters, the direction is nevertheless clearly more loss-making at the latest quarter. Profitability is contracting: the latest quarter’s margins are effectively not meaningful (gross/operating/net margin fields are 0 in the dataset) but the company remains deeply unprofitable (EBITDA -$55.6M). Cash flow quality is mixed-to-weak: operating cash flow was -$52.6M and free cash flow was -$52.6M, and cash at quarter-end fell to $6.5M from $114.6M, indicating a material burn. The balance sheet shows no debt (total debt 0), but equity has not meaningfully stabilized and retained earnings remain heavily negative. Total shareholder returns cannot be assessed from market data here (price is 0 / 1y_change undefined), and dividends/buybacks were minimal (dividends -$0.7M; no buybacks reported). Analyst valuation context: consensus target is $18.83 vs a not-provided current price in the input, so upside/downside cannot be quantified reliably."
Revenue Growth
Revenue moved from $59.8M in Q1’25 to $0 in Q1’26 (reported). QoQ comparisons are not reliable because Q4’25 revenue is shown as negative/abnormal in the dataset, but the latest quarter does not show recovery.
Profitability
Net income deteriorated from +$21.5M in Q1’25 to -$235.0M in Q1’26 (~-1,195% YoY). Latest EPS is -2.13; operating/EBITDA remain deeply negative.
Cash Flow Quality
Operating cash flow was -$52.6M and free cash flow was -$52.6M in Q1’26. Cash fell to $6.5M from $114.6M QoQ, indicating meaningful liquidity burn. Dividend paid (-$0.7M) is small; buybacks are not indicated.
Leverage & Balance Sheet
No debt reported (total debt 0). However, retained earnings are heavily negative and equity is sizable but not evidenced as stable via profitability; current liquidity weakened (cash and current assets declined sharply QoQ).
Shareholder Returns
Total shareholder return cannot be evaluated because marketPerformance fields are not provided (price=0; 1y_change undefined). Cash/deleveraging signals do not suggest shareholder-friendly momentum; limited dividends, no buybacks reported.
Analyst Sentiment & Valuation
Consensus target is $18.83 (high $25 / low $9), but current price is not provided in the input, preventing a precise valuation upside/downside assessment.

Fundamentals Overview
CMPO’s Q1 2026 results show a bifurcated platform: CompoSecure is executing and expanding margins, while Husky is suffering demand deferrals from resin/oil volatility and geopolitical-driven tariff/supply uncertainty. Consolidated pro forma adjusted net sales rose ~3% to $421.2M, but pro forma adjusted EBITDA fell ~16% to $82.1M and margin dropped ~430 bps to 19.5%—primarily due to Husky. Husky’s pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin eroded ~770 bps to 13.2% as ~$20M revenue was pushed out at quarter end and order flow weakened (orders -16% YoY to March). Management attributes the disruption to customer wait-and-see behavior tied to higher virgin PET prices (up ~46% in March/April) and delay dynamics rather than structural demand loss. Guidance was revised: Q2’26 EBITDA $105M–$120M; FY’26 EBITDA $550M–$610M with margin 28.2%–29%, where the key swing factor is how long customer delays persist.
Growth Catalysts
- CompoSecure: Resolute Operating System (ROS) driving step-change manufacturing yields and operational efficiencies; adjusted EBITDA margins expanded ~300 bps in the quarter
- CompoSecure: Record quarter performance supported by strategic sales-force investments and commercial-excellence focus
- Husky: Installed base monetization potential (~13,500 systems) supporting aftermarket parts/tooling/services as macro uncertainty normalizes
- Husky: Customers increasingly evaluating RPET as virgin/resin spread narrows, benefiting Husky’s recycled PET system positioning
Business Development
- CompoSecure program wins: American Express Graphite business card; X Money (Elon Musk); Robinhood Platinum card; Revolut Audi F1 card
- CompoSecure crypto-related optionality/payments: Fold; Cast; Kraken; MetaMask US
- Customer/issuer momentum: accelerating issuer activity across leading fintechs and traditional financial institutions (no single additional issuer named beyond programs)
Financial Highlights
- Pro forma adjusted net sales: $421.2M (+~3% YoY); pro forma adjusted EBITDA: $82.1M (-~16% YoY)
- Pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin: 19.5%, down ~430 bps YoY
- CompoSecure: record pro forma net sales $130.4M (+26% YoY); pro forma adjusted EBITDA $47.6M (+37% YoY); adjusted EBITDA margin +~300 bps to 36.5%
- Husky: pro forma adjusted net sales $290.8M (-5% YoY); pro forma adjusted EBITDA $38.2M (-40% YoY); EBITDA margin eroded ~770 bps to 13.2%
- Husky demand shock: orders -16% YoY to end of March; backlog followed similar pattern in 1Q; ~$20M revenue pushed out near quarter-end (approx. $6M customer delays; ~$5M Middle East logistics/shipment delays; ~$4M customer payment delays)
- Capital/one-time effects referenced: refinanced debt reduced interest burden; transaction expenses included over $200M of one-time GAAP expenses (non-recurring)
- Tariffs/policy: modified Section 232 tariffs implemented April 6, 2026 (after Supreme Court invalidation of IEEPA tariffs in February); management stated no material impact expected given limited U.S. sales exposure and pass-through since 3Q last year
- Guidance: 2Q’26 net sales $425M–$475M; pro forma adjusted EBITDA $105M–$120M; EBITDA margin 24.7%–25.3%; FY’26 net sales $1.95B–$2.1B; EBITDA $550M–$610M; EBITDA margin 28.2%–29%
Capital Funding
- No buyback amount, debt level, or cash runway figures were explicitly provided in the transcript
- Debt refinancing referenced as extending maturities and materially reducing interest burden (specific debt/cash figures not disclosed)
Strategy & Ops
- Husky cost actions: implementing targeted furloughs across jurisdictions to reduce direct labor cost without impairing industrial base responsiveness
- Husky: aggressive management of indirect spend and enterprise cost discipline; working toward full return to office to increase cross-functional accountability across sales/finance/ops
- Husky commercial: reinvigorating sales force under new leadership; ROS implementation prioritized for growth and operations
- Husky operational initiative: integrated SIOP planning (sales, inventory, operations) to improve job sequencing, manufacturing output, and reduce waste
- Husky technology/process: use of AI as an accelerator to ROS (identify bottlenecks and improve lead times) and connected Advantage+Elite remote monitoring driving differentiation
Market Outlook
- Q&A timing framing: management indicated guidance range is driven by duration of customer delays tied to Iran conflict and tariffs—lower end assumes delays persist; higher end assumes customers release delays even if conflict continues
- Seasonality assumption: Husky second half is ~60% of revenue base, with cost absorption, vertical contribution margins, and cost actions expected to make second half stronger
- FY free cash flow (pro forma adjusted): $275M–$325M; adjusted free cash flow generated ~$29M in Q1, similar to last year level
Risks & Headwinds
- Husky: customer wait-and-see behavior and order deferrals after resin price spikes (oil market volatility); orders down ~16% YoY to end of March
- Backlog conversion risk: slower conversion rates as customers defer purchase orders in current environment
- Geopolitical/input cost pressure: Middle East conflict disrupted supply and drove virgin PET prices up ~46% in March and April; customer purchasing behavior shifted nearly overnight mid-March
- Tariff uncertainty: while management expects limited material impact and pass-through, policy pivots can extend customer delays
- Seasonality: Husky Q1 is historically smallest quarter; deferred revenue and excess labor cost absorption exacerbated margin decline
Q&A: Analyst Interest
- Topic: Slide 13 guidance range—timing of Iran conflict/Strait disruption vs customer delays and what drives low vs high end. Management: emphasized the range reflects the impact of customer delay behavior; if delays persist customers stay deferred and results move to the low end, while if customers release delays (aftermarket/need machines) even with ongoing conflict, results shift toward the high end.
- Topic: Husky second-half profitability profile—why back-half EBITDA/EBITDA margins should improve vs a weaker first half. Management: cited seasonality (second half ~60% of revenue base) plus sequential revenue growth, improved cost absorption, improving vertical contribution margins, and cost actions/efficiencies; margin compression in Q1 should normalize as fixed costs absorb better later in the year.
- Topic: CompoSecure outlook—strength of card launch pipeline across the remainder of 2026. Management: stated the pipeline remains strong across multiple dimensions: ongoing new programs from existing customers, customer generation of incremental programs, and continued penetration of new customer base internationally and domestically across fintech and traditional banks—maintaining optimism for the balance of the year.
