Forward Guidance

The Company now expects high teens net sales growth and low double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth for the full year, an increase from the previous outlook of low double-digit growth for net sales and mid-to-high single-digit growth for Adjusted EBITDA. The full-year Adjusted EBITDA margin is still expected to be slightly below 20%.

Positive Outlook

  • Expects high teens net sales growth for the full year.
  • Anticipates low double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth for the full year.
  • Expects strong sales growth in its Debit and Credit segment for the year.
  • Forecasts Prepaid Debit segment sales near the record level in 2021.
  • Expects margin improvement relative to the second quarter.

Challenges Ahead

  • The full-year Adjusted EBITDA margin is still expected to be slightly below 20%.
  • Profitability was offset from increased materials costs.
  • Profitability was offset from higher SG&A expenses, including higher compensation-related expenses.
  • The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to inflationary impacts on costs.
  • Working capital usage in the 2022 first half was primarily driven by a $18 million increase in inventories to support customer demand and a $12 million increase in accounts receivable as a result of higher sales.
