SEC filingQ3 2025 revenue up 13% YoY to $120.9M, gross margin expanded 700 bps to 59%, operating margin improved to 34%.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, consolidated net sales increased 13% to $120.9 million from $107.1 million in the prior-year period. The growth was driven entirely by domestic sales, which rose 31% to $105.1 million, while international sales fell 42% to $15.8 million. The domestic increase was attributed to higher volumes from new and existing customers, while the international decline reflected timing of customer orders.
Gross profit increased 29% to $71.3 million, outpacing revenue growth, leading to a 700 basis point expansion in gross margin to 59%. The improvement was due to higher volumes, favorable product mix, and better operational execution from the implementation of the Resolute Operating System.
Operating expenses (SG&A) rose 32% to $29.9 million, primarily from incremental salaries and equity-based compensation at Resolute Holdings following the spin-off. Income from operations increased 26% to $41.5 million, and operating margin improved 300 basis points to 34%.
Other expense decreased 60% to $2.0 million, primarily due to lower interest expense after the exchange and extinguishment of the Exchangeable Notes in Q4 2024. Net income increased 42% to $39.4 million. However, net income attributable to common stockholders was a loss of $0.2 million, as substantially all net income was allocated to non-controlling interests.
The company operates two reportable segments: Resolute Holdings and CompoSecure Holdings. In Q3 2025, Resolute Holdings recognized $3.7 million in management fees from CompoSecure Holdings, all eliminated in consolidation. Resolute Holdings reported an operating loss of $0.3 million due to its SG&A expenses. CompoSecure Holdings generated $120.9 million in product sales with an operating income of $41.7 million, reflecting a 34.5% operating margin. The core card manufacturing business continues to benefit from strong domestic demand and operational efficiencies.
The MD&A does not provide explicit forward guidance. Management expressed confidence in liquidity, noting $98.2 million in cash and equivalents and $49.7 million in short-term investments as of September 30, 2025. The company believes cash flows from operations and available credit facilities ($5.0 million revolver at Resolute Holdings and $130.0 million at CompoSecure Holdings) are sufficient to meet liquidity needs for at least 12 months. The outlook highlights continued focus on executing the Resolute Operating System to drive operational improvements and the potential for inorganic growth through M&A and capital markets expertise.
As of September 30, 2025, the company held $98.2M in cash and cash equivalents plus $49.7M in short-term U.S. Treasury investments, totaling $147.9M in liquid assets. Total debt (term loan) stood at $190.0M gross ($173.4M net of deferred financing), with $15.0M classified as current. Shareholders' equity was $10.8M, while total equity including non-controlling interest was $41.6M. Inventory net of reserves was $43.7M.
The only material commitments disclosed were operating leases with total undiscounted future payments of $11.9M and a present value of $9.8M. Lease payments are: $2.8M within one year, $4.1M in years 1-3, and $2.8M beyond three years. No supply purchase commitments, off-balance-sheet arrangements, or other contractual obligations were reported.
Capital expenditures totaled $4.2M (property and equipment $2.95M, capitalized software $1.24M) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, representing 1.2% of sales. Debt reduction was $7.5M via scheduled term loan payments. No share repurchases, dividends, or new debt issuances occurred. The Resolute Holdings credit facility ($5.0M revolver) remained undrawn.
Two segments: Resolute Holdings (management services to CompoSecure) and CompoSecure Holdings (payment card manufacturing). For the nine months, CompoSecure generated $344.3M revenue (86.8% domestic, 13.2% international) and $109.3M operating income (31.8% margin). Resolute Holdings reported $8.2M management fee revenue (eliminated in consolidation) and an operating loss of $3.4M due to SG&A costs. Prior-year segment data for Resolute Holdings is not comparable as it commenced operations post-spin-off.
Net income of $100.3 million translated into operating cash flow of $126.9 million, indicating strong cash conversion with non-cash charges (depreciation, equity-based compensation, amortization) totaling $29.2 million exceeding working capital outflows of $1.5 million. Capex intensity remains low at 3.3% of operating cash flow, reflecting an asset-light business model. Free cash flow (CFO minus capex) would be $122.7 million, providing ample coverage for the $18.9 million in distributions to CompoSecure Holdings members and the $20.6 million in payments for taxes related to net share settlement.
A notable item is the $52.0 million purchase of short-term investments, classified as investing cash outflows, which suggests a cash deployment strategy rather than organic investment. Working capital changes included a $16.7 million increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $7.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively. Financing activities included $7.5 million in term loan payments and $11.9 million in net contributions/contributions to/from CompoSecure Holdings, reflecting the spin-off structure.
