Summary of Risk Factors Summary
An investment in our company is subject to a number of risks. These risks relate to our business, the businessbusinesses ofwe CompoSecure, which is operated throughmanage, CompoSecure Holdings,and the Spin-Off,Husky, our common stock (including the Spin-Off) and the securities market. Any of these risks and other risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made in this Annual Report.Report on Form 10-K. Please read the information in the section captioned “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report for a description of the principal risks that we face. Some of the more significant challenges and risks we face include the following:
Our results of operations and financial condition are substantially dependent on the two businesses we manage, CompoSecure and Husky.
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the CompoSecure Management Agreement, and in 2026, we entered into the Husky Management Agreement. Although our business strategy is to enter into management agreements with other companies, no assurance can be given that we will be successful. As a result, for so long as our only management agreements are the CompoSecure Management Agreement and the Husky Management Agreement, our revenues will be dependent on the management fees and other payments we receive from our two managed companies, GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings. These fees are based on the quarterly performance of the CompoSecure and Husky businesses, and accordingly, our business is subject to the business risks of CompoSecure and Husky, and may be significantly adversely affected if either business performs poorly or does not perform as expected. The businesses of CompoSecure and Husky, which are operated through subsidiaries of GPGI Holdings, are subject to risks that include, among other things: failure to retain existing customers or identify and attract new customers; that future growth of the CompoSecure business depends upon it ability to develop and commercialize new products, and that the CompoSecure business may be unable to introduce new products and services in a timely manner; that a disruption in the operations or supply chain of the CompoSecure business or the performance of its suppliers and/or development partners could adversely affect the business and financial results of the CompoSecure business; that security markets, including the market for authentication solutions, are rapidly evolving to address increasing and challenging cyber threats, including identity theft, and that the CompoSecure business’ Arculus Authenticate solutions may not achieve widespread market acceptance; that regulatory changes or actions may restrict the use of the Arculus Cold Storage Wallet or digital assets in a manner that adversely affects the business, prospects or operations of the CompoSecure business; that production quality and manufacturing process disruptions could adversely affect the CompoSecure business; that the results of operations of the Husky business are reliant on unpredictable customer purchasing trends; that growth in emerging markets may impact the sales of the Husky business; that there is no certainty that the Husky business will be able to manage fluctuations in raw materials; that failure of suppliers to deliver in a timely and cost-effective manner would adversely impact its operations; that the significant international operations of the Husky business subject it to risks inherent in doing business in foreign jurisdictions; and that new or increased taxes or other governmental regulations targeted to decrease the consumption of certain type of beverages may adversely affect the Husky business. Many of these factors may be beyond our control. If the CompoSecure and/or Husky businesses experience these or other events, their respective business could be materially and adversely affected and the management fees to which we are entitled could be lower than we expect. See “Risks Related to the Business of CompoSecure” and “Risks Related to the Business of Husky” elsewhere in this Risk Factors section.
We manage the business of a single company, CompoSecure Holdings, which subjects us to a greater risk of significant loss.
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the CompoSecure Management Agreement. Although our business strategy is to enter into management agreements with other companies, no assurance can be given that we will be successful. As a result, for so long as our only management agreement is the CompoSecure Management Agreement, our revenues will be dependent on the CompoSecure Management Fee and other payments we receive from CompoSecure Holdings. The quarterly CompoSecure Management Fee we are entitled to receive from CompoSecure Holdings will be based on the performance of CompoSecure Holdings and, in particular, CompoSecure Holdings’ last 12 months’ Adjusted EBITDA, measured for the period ending on the fiscal quarter then ended as calculated in accordance with the CompoSecure Management Agreement. See “Item 1. Business – The CompoSecure Management Agreement – Management Fee.” Our business will therefore be subject to the business risks of CompoSecure, and may be significantly adversely affected if CompoSecure Holdings performs poorly or does not perform as expected. The business of CompoSecure, which is operated through a subsidiary of CompoSecure Holdings, is subject to risks that include, among other things, rapidly evolving domestic and global economic and political conditions, such as the war in Ukraine or global pandemics such as a resurgence of COVID-19, CompoSecure’s ability to maintain its relationships with its customers and attract new customers, increased competition, cybersecurity and information technology (“IT”) infrastructure needs, disruptions to CompoSecure’s ability to manufacture new and existing products, supply chain and distribution issues, changes in the regulatory regimes to which CompoSecure is subject, CompoSecure’s ability to protect its intellectual property rights and the satisfactory resolution of disputes related thereto and product liability and warranty claims. Many of these factors may be beyond our control. If CompoSecure experiences these or other events, its business could be materially and adversely affected and the CompoSecure Management Fee which we are entitled could be lower than we expect. See “Risks Related to the Business of CompoSecure” elsewhere in this Risk Factors section. Furthermore, we expect that the initial resource investments required to build the capabilities required for us to perform our duties required by the CompoSecure Management Agreement will result in us initially operating with limited profitability.
Additionally, for so long as our managed companies consist solely or primarily of CompoSecureGPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, our growth prospects will be substantially dependent on our ability to effectively manage and expand CompoSecure’sthe business,businesses owned by these entities, including by successfully identifying, negotiating, completing and integrating strategic acquisitions. Our ability to expand CompoSecure’stheir businessbusinesses is subject to a number of risks, including the inability to identify satisfactory strategic acquisition targets, difficulties in successfully integrating acquired operations and businesses, loss of key personnel, diversion of management resources, financial risks including unanticipated liabilities and incremental compliance costs due to the acquisition of businesses subject to heavy regulation and risks associated with achieving cost synergies. If we are unable to expand CompoSecure’sthe business,businesses, or such attempts are more costly or less successful than anticipated, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
We expect to structure the management fee payable to us pursuant to any future management agreement to be based on the managed company’s respective financial results. We intend to select managed companies for management on the basis of anticipated future performance, considering such companies’ past results of operations and financial condition, macroeconomic conditions and other factors that our board of directors (our “Board”) deems advisable from time to time. However, our estimates of such fees will be based on the past results of operations of such managed companies and will require certain assumptions about their future performance, which may not be accurate. No assurance can be given that our estimates of future management fees to which we will be entitled will be correct during any particular period. The overall performance and financial results of other managed companies in the future, if any, may depend on factors beyond our control and may be subject to risks that differ from those that impact the business of CompoSecure.CompoSecure and/or Husky.
The CompoSecure Management Agreement provides,and Husky Management Agreement provide, and we expect that any management agreements we enter into with additional managed companies in the future will provide, for a management fee based on profitability metrics defined in each such management agreement, and these fees may impact our management priorities or cause us to select riskier managed company businesses. Certain of these measures may not be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses and charges such as non-cash equity compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization, unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) and non-recurring events, among others. For example, pursuant to the CompoSecure Management Agreement and the Husky Management Agreement, we will earn a quarterly management fee (without duplication) based on CompoSecureGPGI Holdings’ and Husky Holdings’ last 12 months’ Adjusted EBITDA, measured for the period ending on the fiscal quarter then ended as calculated in accordance with the CompoSecure Management Agreement.Agreement and the Husky Management Agreement, respectively. See “Item 1. Business – The CompoSecure Management Agreement – Management Fee.”.
While we generally intend to seek attractive returns primarily through the long-term management of the businesses of CompoSecureGPGI Holdings, Husky Holdings and of additional managed companies that we may identify from time to time, we may pursue additional business strategies and may modify or depart from our initial business strategy, process and techniques, in light of changing market conditions or other factors as we determine appropriate. For example, as our management agreements and the related obligations to provide management services will not create a mutually exclusive relationship between us, on the one hand, and any of our managed companies, including CompoSecureeach of GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, on the other, we may decide to focus our efforts on the management of the business of one or more of our managed companies including CompoSecureGPGI Holdings or Husky Holdings, a small number of managed companies, or we may pursue additional management agreements with additional managed companies in varied business sectors and/or geographic regions that provide for short- or long-term management of all or less than all of a managed company’s business. Additionally, any projections/estimates regarding the number, size or type of companies that we may manage, the manner in which we may manage such companies, or the fee arrangements that we may enter into with such companies (or similar estimates) are estimates based only on our intent as of the date of such statements and are subject to change due to market conditions and/or other factors.
The termination of the CompoSecure Management Agreement, the Husky Management Agreement or the management agreements that we may enter into with other companies from time to time, or the reduction of the management fees payable to us thereunder, would materially and adversely affect us.
TheEach of the CompoSecure Management Agreement willand the Husky Management Agreement initially have a term of 10 years, following which iteach will be subject to automatic renewal for successive 10-year periods. WeWe, on the one hand, and CompoSecureGPGI Holdings or Husky Holdings, on the other, will each have the right to terminate the CompoSecurerespective Managementmanagement Agreementagreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including certain events in connection with which CompoSecureGPGI Holdings or Husky Holdings, as applicable, will have the right to terminate the CompoSecurerespective Managementmanagement Agreementagreement without paying to us any termination fees. See “Item 1. Business – The CompoSecure Management Agreement – Termination Fees.” Additionally, following the initial term of the CompoSecurerespective Managementmanagement Agreement,agreement, the management fees payable to us thereunder could be reduced, including upon an election by us not to receive our management fee for a given quarterly period. See “Item 1. Business – The CompoSecure Management Agreement – Management Fees.” Furthermore, the management agreements that we may enter into with other companies from time to time may contain termination and renewal provisions, and those provisions may or not be similar to the termination and renewal provisions contained in the CompoSecure Management Agreement or the Husky Management Agreement. The termination of any management agreement, including the CompoSecure Management Agreement or the Husky Management Agreement, or the reduction of fees payable to us thereunder, would each have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our managed companies, including CompoSecureGPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, may not be able to successfully fund future activities of new businesses on acceptable terms.
In order for our managed companies to undertake certain future business activities, including future strategic acquisitions, we expect that our managed companies, including CompoSecureGPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, will need to raise capital primarily through the sale of additional shares of equity securities (including, in the case of GPGI Holdings, by GPGI) or through the incurrence of debt. The timing and size of such funding cannot be readily predicted, and our managed companies may need to obtain funding on short notice in order for them and for us to fully benefit from attractive opportunities. Such funding may not be available on terms favorable or acceptable to us or at all, which could limit our managed companies’ ability to undertake these business activities, and which in turn could materially adversely impact our ability to successfully pursue our strategy of growth.
Our accounting is complex, and if it is erroneous or based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and also to apply many complex requirements and standards, some of which require significant judgment. We devote substantial resources to compliance with accounting requirements and we base our estimates on our best judgment, historical experience, information derived from third parties, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the values of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. However, various factors cause our accounting to become complex, including our management of the businesses of GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings. Our operating results may be adversely affected if we make accounting errors or our judgments prove to be wrong, assumptions change or actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, or if we are required to make changes in the presentation of our financial statements due to the foregoing factors or otherwise, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors or guidance we may have provided, resulting in a decline in our stock price and potential legal claims.
Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results or financial condition.
Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations regarding a wide range of matters relevant to our business, such as revenue recognition, asset impairment and fair value determinations, inventories, business combinations and intangible asset valuations, leases, litigation, among others, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in our assumptions, estimates or judgments could significantly change our reported or expected financial performance or financial condition.
We are dependent on our key management members to carry out our business strategies, including the management of CompoSecure Holdings, the identification and management of additionalour managed companies from time to time, and the execution of our business strategy described in the section titled “Item 1. Business.” Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of our personnel, including our senior management team, particularly David Cote, our Executive Chairman, and Tom Knott, our Chief Executive Officer. The extent and nature of the experience of Mr. Cote, Mr. Knott and our other personnel and the nature of the relationships they have with external contacts, although not guarantees of positive results, are critical to the success of our business. Our personnel have significant management experience, and we cannot assure stockholders of their continued employment with us. The unplanned departure of any of our personnel could have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, competition for experienced management personnel could require us to pay higher compensation and provide additional benefits to retain or attract qualified personnel, which could result in higher compensation expenses for us. Additionally, our management members’ other commitments may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our management and operations of other businesses. See “Risks Related to Our Business —- Conflicts of interest with our directors, executive officers or other employees could damage our reputation and negatively impact our business.”
Potential conflicts of interest with our directors, executive officers or other employees. Our directors, executive officers and other employees, including Mr. Cote and Mr. Knott, may engage in other business activities. This may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our management and operations of other businesses. Additionally, some of our directors, executive officers or other employees are or will be directors, executive officers, employees or direct or indirect holders of interests in CompoSecure and/or our other managed companies. In addition, our directors, executive officers and other employees are not expressly prohibited from investing in or managing other entities, including those that are in the same or similar line of business as our managed companies. Our management agreements and the related obligations to provide management services will not create a mutually exclusive relationship between us, on the one hand, and our managed companies, including CompoSecureGPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, on the other. As a result, our directors, executive officers and other employees may have duties to these other entities, which duties could conflict with the duties they owe to us and could result in action or inaction detrimental to our business. One or more committees of our Board, excluding any directors who may have an interest or involvement, will review and address, as appropriate, certain actual or perceived conflicts of interest involving, among others, our executive officers or directors, and our related person transactions policy requires the review by one or more committees of our Board, excluding any directors who may have an interest or involvement, of certain transactions involving us and our directors, executive officers, 5% or greater stockholders and other related persons as defined under the policy. Nevertheless, potential or perceived conflicts could lead to investor dissatisfaction, harm our reputation or result in litigation or regulatory enforcement actions.
Interest of our directors, executive officers or other employees in our managed companies. Certain of our directors, executive officers and other employees, or their respective affiliates, directly or indirectly, currently hold and may in the future hold interests in CompoSecure,GPGI and may in the future hold interests in our other managed companies, in each case that differ from your interests in such companies. While we believe that these interests help align the interests of our directors, executive officers and other employees with those of our managed companies’ investors and provide a strong incentive to enhance the performance of our managed companies, these arrangements could also give rise to conflicts of interest. For example, pursuant to the CompoSecure Management Agreement and the Husky Management Agreement, we will have the ability to waive or defer any fees payable to us by CompoSecureGPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, respectively, and we expect to negotiate additional management agreements such that we will have the ability to waive or defer fees payable from time to time from additional managed companies under their respective management agreements, and the interests of our directors, executive officers and other employees (or their respective affiliates) in such managed companies could influence our decisions whether to waive or defer any such fees. Additionally, our directors, executive officers and other employees may from time to time receive a portion of their compensation from our managed companies, which may influence the manner in which we manage such companies. Additionally, some of our directors, executive officers or other employees (or their respective affiliates) may also have or make personal investments in entities that are not affiliated with us that may compete for the same management opportunities, which likewise could give rise to potential conflicts of interest.
Rapidly evolving domestic and global economic conditions are beyond CompoSecure’s control and could materially adversely affect CompoSecure’s business, operations and results of operations.
U.S. and international markets and, in particular, the rapidly evolving digital assets industry, are experiencing uncertain and volatile economic conditions, including from the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the conflict in Israel, Gaza and the surrounding areas, inflation, threats or concerns of recession, and supply chain disruptions. These conditions make it extremely difficult for CompoSecure and its suppliers to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. Additionally, a significant downturn in the domestic or global economy may cause CompoSecure’s existing customers to pause or delay orders and prospective customers to defer new projects. Together, these circumstances create an environment in which it is challenging for CompoSecure to predict future operating results, particularly for its Arculus products and services. If these uncertain business, macroeconomic or political conditions continue or further decline, CompoSecure’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected, each of which could impact the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.
CompoSecure may not be able to sustain its revenue growth rate in the future.
CompoSecure may not continue to achieve sales growth in the future, and you should not consider its sales growth in fiscal 2024 as indicative of future performance. It is also possible that CompoSecure’s growth rate may slow in future periods due to a number of factors, which may include slowing demand for its products, increased competition, decreasing growth of its overall market or inability to engage and retain customers. If CompoSecure is unable to maintain consistent sales or continue its sales growth, it may be difficult for CompoSecure to maintain profitability, which could have an adverse impact on the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.
Failure to retain existing customers or identify and attract new customers could adversely affect CompoSecure’sthe business, financial condition and results of operations.operations of the CompoSecure business.
CompoSecure’sThe two largest customers of the CompoSecure business are JPMorgan Chase and American Express. Together, these customers represented approximately 63%55% and 71%62% of CompoSecure Holdings’the net sales of the CompoSecure business for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. CompoSecure’sThe ability of the CompoSecure business to meet its customers’ high-quality standards in a timely manner is critical to its business success. If the CompoSecure business is unable to provide its products and services at high quality and in a timely manner, its customer relationships may be adversely affected, which could result in the loss of customers.
CompoSecure’sThe ability of the CompoSecure business to maintain relationships with its customers or attract new customers may be affected by several factors beyond its control, including more attractive product offerings from its competitors, widespread industry disruptions (such as adverse crypto market disruptions,disruptions where failures, cybersecurity incidents, fraud or regulatory actions involving other digital asset companies reduce consumer confidence in digital assets generally and thereby could reduce demand for the CompoSecure business’ Arculus products, adoption or enactment of new legislation or agency rulesrules, and the outcomes of regulatory enforcement actions and other major litigation), pricing pressures or the financial health of these customers, many of whom operate in competitive businesses and depend on favorable macroeconomic conditions. In addition, the CompoSecure business may also be limited in the products it can offer and the pricing it can receive for such products due to restrictions present in certain of its customer contracts, which may negatively impact its ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers. If the CompoSecure business experiences difficulty retaining customers and attracting new customers, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected, which may materially and adversely affect the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.affected.
Any failure by CompoSecure to identify, manage, integrate and complete acquisitions and other significant transactions successfully could harm its financial results, business and prospects.
As part of CompoSecure’s business strategy, CompoSecure may from time to time seek to acquire businesses or interests in businesses, including non-controlling interests, or form joint ventures or create strategic alliances. The due diligence CompoSecure undertakes with respect to potential targets may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts that are necessary or helpful in evaluating the potential target, and CompoSecure will incur expenses in connection with performing such due diligence whether or not an acquisition is ultimately completed. Whether CompoSecure realizes the anticipated benefits from such activities may depend, in part, upon the successful integration between the businesses involved, the performance and development of the underlying products, capabilities or technologies, its correct assessment of assumed liabilities and the management of the operations. Accordingly, CompoSecure’s financial results could be adversely affected by unanticipated performance and liability issues, its failure to achieve synergies and other benefits CompoSecure expected to obtain, transaction-related charges, or other factors some or all of which may materially and adversely affect the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.
CompoSecure’s ability to realize the expected synergies and benefits of an acquisition may be subject to, among other things, its ability to complete the timely integration of operations and systems, standards, controls, procedures, policies and technologies, difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the combination, and difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex combined business.
Data and security breaches could compromise CompoSecure’s systems and confidential information, cause reputational and financial damage and increase risks of litigation, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
CompoSecure’s IT infrastructure’s ability to reliably and securely protect the sensitive confidential information of its customers, which include large financial institutions, is critical to its business. Security breaches have become more common across many industries. Cyber incidents have been increasing in sophistication and can include third parties gaining access to employee or customer data using stolen or inferred credentials, computer malware, viruses, spamming, phishing attacks, ransomware, card skimming code and other deliberate attacks and attempts to gain unauthorized access. The occurrence of these types of incidents in CompoSecure’s computer networks, databases or facilities could lead to the inappropriate use or disclosure of personal information, including sensitive personal information of customers and employees, which could harm CompoSecure’s business and reputation, adversely affect consumers’ confidence in CompoSecure’s business and products, result in inquiries and fines or penalties from regulatory or governmental authorities, cause a loss of customers, pose increased risks of lawsuits and subject CompoSecure to potential financial losses.
Additionally, it is possible that unauthorized access to sensitive customer and business data may be obtained through inadequate use of security controls by CompoSecure’s customers, suppliers or other vendors.
CompoSecure has administrative, technical and physical security measures in place and has policies and procedures in place to both evaluate the security protocols and practices of its vendors and to contractually require service providers to whom CompoSecure discloses data to implement and maintain reasonable privacy and security measures. However, although cybersecurity remains a high priority, CompoSecure’s activities and investment may not sufficiently protect its system or network against cyber threats, nor sufficiently prevent or limit the damage from any future security breaches. As these threats continue to evolve, CompoSecure may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against these security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by these breaches, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees and engage third-party experts and consultants, which could materially and adversely affect CompoSecure’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Although CompoSecure maintains cyber liability insurance, CompoSecure cannot be certain that its coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to CompoSecure on economically reasonable terms or at all. Furthermore, any material breach of CompoSecure’s security systems could harm its competitive position, result in a loss of customer trust and confidence and cause CompoSecure to incur significant costs to mitigate or remedy any damage resulting from system or network disruptions, whether caused by cyber-attacks, security breaches or otherwise, which could ultimately adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and adversely affect the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.
System outages, data loss or other interruptions affecting CompoSecure’s operations could adversely affect its business and reputation.
The ability to efficiently execute and operate business functions and systems without interruption is critical to CompoSecure’s business. A significant portion of the communication between CompoSecure’s employees, customers and suppliers relies upon CompoSecure’s integrated and complex IT systems.
CompoSecure depends on the reliability of its IT infrastructure and software and its ability to expand and innovate its technologies and technological processes in response to changing needs. A system outage or data loss or interruption could cause damage to CompoSecure’s brand and reputation. Such operational interruptions could also cause CompoSecure to become liable to third parties, including its customers.
CompoSecure must be able to protect its processing and other systems from interruption to successfully operate its business. In an effort to do so, CompoSecure has taken preventative actions and adopted protective procedures to ensure the continuation of core business operations in the event that normal operations could not be performed because of events outside of CompoSecure’s control. These actions and procedures taken and adopted by CompoSecure may, however, insufficiently prevent or limit the damage from future disruptions, if any, and any such disruptions could adversely affect CompoSecure’s business, financial condition and results of operations and could adversely affect the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.
Disruptions at CompoSecure’s primary production facility may adversely affect its business, results of operations and/or financial condition.
A substantial portion of CompoSecure’s manufacturing capacity is located at its primary production facility. Any serious disruption at such facility could impair CompoSecure’s ability to manufacture enough products to meet customer demand and could increase its costs and expenses and adversely affect its revenues. CompoSecure’s other facilities may not have the requisite equipment or sufficient capacity, may have higher costs and expenses, or may experience significant delays to adequately increase production to satisfactorily meet its customers’ expectations or requirements. Long-term production disruptions may cause its customers to modify their payment card programs to use plastic cards or to seek an alternative supply of metal cards. Any such production disruptions could adversely impact CompoSecure’s business, financial condition and results of operations, which could adversely impact the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.
CompoSecure’s future growth may depend upon its ability to develop, introduce, manufacture and commercializeCommercializing new products, whichproducts can be a lengthy and complex process. If the CompoSecure business is unable to introduce new products and services in a timely manner, its business could be materially adversely affected.
The markets for CompoSecure’sthe products and services of the CompoSecure business are subject to technological changes, frequent introductions of new products and services and evolving industry standards. The process for developing innovative or technologically enhanced products can deplete time, money and resourcesresources, and requires the ability to accurately forecast technological, market and industry trends. For example, the CompoSecure business has historically focused on the payment card industry, but it is a new entrant into the digital assets industry. In order to achieve successful technical execution of new products, the CompoSecure business may need to undertake time-consuming and expensive research and development activities, which could negatively impact the servicing of its existing customers. The CompoSecure business may also experience difficult market conditions, such as the recent widespread disruptions in the digital asset industry, that could delay or prevent the successful research and development, marketing launches and consumer deployment of such newly designed products, whereby the CompoSecure business could incur significant additional cost and expense. If the products and solutions derived from the CompoSecure business’ Arculus platform fail to gain market acceptance, CompoSecure’sthe ability of the CompoSecure business to achieve future growth could be significantly impaired. In addition, competitors may develop and commercialize competing products faster and more efficiently than the CompoSecure business is able to do so, which could further negatively impact its business.
The product and service offerings of the CompoSecure business could be rendered obsolete if it is unable to develop and introduce innovative products in a cost-effective and timely manner. Other developing or unforeseen technology solutions and products could render the CompoSecure business’ existing products unpopular, irrelevant or obsolete altogether.
CompoSecure’s product and service offerings could be rendered obsolete if CompoSecure is unable to develop and introduce innovative products in a cost-effective and timely manner. In particular, the rise in the adoption of wireless or mobile payment systems may make physical metal cards less attractive as a method of payment, which could result in less demand for these products. Although to date CompoSecure has not witnessed a material reduction in card-based payments in the United States resulting from the emergence of wireless or mobile payment systems, such payment systems offer consumers an alternative method to make purchases without the need to carry a physical card by relying on cellular telephones or other technological products to make payments. If these wireless or mobile payment systems are widely adopted, it could result in a reduction of the number of physical payment cards issued to consumers. Moreover, other developing or unforeseen technology solutions and products could render CompoSecure’s existing products unpopular, irrelevant or obsolete altogether.
CompoSecure’sThe ability of the CompoSecure business to develop and deliver new products and services successfully will depend on various factors, including its ability to: effectively identify and capitalize upon opportunities in new and emerging product markets; invest resources in innovation and research and development; develop and implement new processes for the manufacture or offer of new products or services; complete and introduce new products and integrated services solutions in a timely manner; license any required third-party technology or intellectual property rights; qualify for and obtain required industry certification for its products; and retain and hire talent experienced in developing new products and services. CompoSecure’sThe business and growth of the CompoSecure business also depend in part on the success of its strategic relationships with third parties, including technology partners or other technology companies whose products are integrated with CompoSecure’sits products. Failure of any of these technology companies to maintain, support or secure their technology platforms in general, and its integrations in particular, or errors or defects in their technologies or products, could adversely affect the relationships of the CompoSecure business with its customers, damage its brand and reputation, and could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Disruptions at the CompoSecure business’ primary production facility may adversely affect the business, results of operations and/or financial condition of the CompoSecure business.
A substantial portion of the CompoSecure business’ manufacturing capacity is located at its primary production facility. Any serious disruption at such facility could impair the ability of the CompoSecure business to manufacture enough products to meet customer demand, and could increase its costs and expenses and adversely affect its revenues. Its other facilities may not have the requisite equipment or sufficient capacity, may have higher costs and expenses, or may experience significant delays to adequately increase production to satisfactorily meet its customers’ expectations or requirements. Long-term production disruptions may cause its customers to modify their payment card programs to use plastic cards or to seek an alternative supply of metal cards. Any such production disruptions could adversely impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the CompoSecure business.
Failure of any of these technology companies to maintain, support or secure their technology platforms in general, and CompoSecure’s integrations in particular, or errors or defects in such third parties’ technologies or products, could adversely affect CompoSecure’s relationships with customers, damage its brand and reputation and could adversely affect CompoSecure’s business, financial condition and results of operations, which could adversely affect the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.
CompoSecure’s ability to enhance its existing products and to develop and introduce innovative new products that continue to meet the needs of its customers may affect its future success. CompoSecure may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, marketing or deployment of these products, or its newly enhanced services may not meet market demands or achieve market traction. CompoSecure’s potential failure to complete or gain market acceptance of new products, services and technologies could adversely affect its ability to retain existing customers or attract new ones.
A disruption in CompoSecure’sthe operations or supply chain of the CompoSecure business or the performance of its suppliers, liquidity partners and/or development partners could adversely affect itsthe business and financial results.results of the CompoSecure business.
As a company engaged in manufacturing and distribution, the CompoSecure business is subject to the risks inherent in such activities, including disruptions or delays in supply chain or information technology, product quality control, as well as other external factors over which the CompoSecure business has no control. Some of the key components used in the manufacture of CompoSecure’sits products are metals, NFC-enabled chips and EMV chips, which the CompoSecure business sources from several key suppliers. The CompoSecure business obtains its components from multiple suppliers located in the United States and abroad, on a purchase order basis. Changes in the financial or business condition of CompoSecure’sits suppliers and/or development partners could subject the CompoSecure business to losses or adversely affect its ability to bring products to market. Additionally, the failure of CompoSecure’sits suppliers and/or development partners to comply with applicable standards, perform as expectedexpected, and deliver goods and services in a timely manner in sufficient quantities could adversely affect CompoSecure’sthe CompoSecure business’ customer service levels and overall business. Any increases in the costs of goods and services for CompoSecure’sthe CompoSecure business may also adversely affect its profit margins,margins particularly if CompoSecureit is unable to achieve higher price increases or otherwise increase cost or operational efficiencies to offset the higher costs.
Additionally, the CompoSecure business partners with third-party providers to offer certain Arculus-related services to its customers.customers, including functionality that depends on third-party service providers, such as transaction execution platforms, liquidity providers and on/off ramps. If any of these third parties experiences operational interference or disruptions, fails to perform its obligations and meet CompoSecure’sthe expectations,expectations of the CompoSecure business, experiences a cybersecurity incident, becomes insolvent, fails to comply with applicable regulatory and/or licensing requirements which may evolve over time ortime, is subject to regulatory enforcement proceedings concerning their operations,operations or terminates their services, the CompoSecure business could be forced to restrict or discontinue certain Arculus features, including support for certain purchase and swap transactions. This could disrupt the operations of the Arculus solutionssolutions, couldharm beits disruptedusers orand otherwisematerially and adversely affected.affect the CompoSecure business.
Furthermore, to the extent the customers of the CompoSecure business interact with third-party custodians, exchanges or other partners to purchase, swap or hold digital assets, they may face additional risks. The legal treatment of custodied digital assets in the event of a third-party partner’s insolvency or bankruptcy is uncertain. Courts have not yet definitively determined whether such assets would be considered part of the custodian’s bankruptcy estate. As a result, in the event of a third-party partner’s failure, customers could face delayed or lost access to their digital assets, and the CompoSecure business could face reputational harm, regulatory scrutiny and potential claims, even if it does not custody these digital assets itself.
The future growth of the CompoSecure business may depend upon its ability to develop and introduce new products.
Security markets, including the market for authentication solutions, are rapidly evolving to address increasing and challenging cyber threats, including identity theft, and CompoSecure’sthe CompoSecure business’ Arculus Authenticate solutions may not achieve widespread market acceptance. In addition, there is a risk that the Arculus Authenticate solutions may not provide protection against all or a sufficient amount of the ever-changing security vulnerabilities, exploits or cyber-attacks.cyber attacks.
Cybersecurity markets are experiencing significant and fast-paced technological change, evolving industry standards and customer needs. CompoSecure’s Arculus Authenticate solutions represent a new andan innovative approach to identity protectionprotection, and may not achieve widespread market acceptance. Other methods, technologies, products or services may offer similar or better authentication solutions than CompoSecure’sthe CompoSecure business’ hardware authentication solutions. If the CompoSecure business is unable to adapt to such changes, its ability to compete effectively may be adversely impacted, which could have a negative effect on CompoSecure’sthe business, financial condition or results of operations,operations which could adversely impactof the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.business. In addition, there is a risk that the Arculus Authenticate solutions may not provide protection against all or a sufficient amount of the ever-changing security vulnerabilities, exploits or cyber-attacks.cyber attacks. Internal and external factors, including possible defects in the CompoSecure business’ products, or system failures in services provided by third parties for use with Arculus Authenticate solutions, could cause the CompoSecure business’ products and/or services to become vulnerable to security attacks which could result in the loss of identity protection for businesses and consumers. There is, therefore, a risk that the hardware authentication products of the CompoSecure business could become ineffective against evolving cybersecurity threats. Any such developments, real or perceived, may have a negative impact on the reputation of the CompoSecure business, which could have a negative effect upon its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Internal and external factors, including possible defects in CompoSecure’s products, or system failures in services provided by third parties for use with Arculus Authenticate solutions, could cause CompoSecure’s products and/or services to become vulnerable to security attacks which could result in the loss of identity protection for businesses and consumers. As the Arculus Authenticate solutions include hardware tokens which are expected to be replaced from time to time as needed (similar to payment cards), CompoSecure does not intend to provide remote updates or upgrades to its hardware products. There is, therefore, a risk that CompoSecure’s hardware authentication products could become ineffective against evolving cybersecurity threats. Any such developments, real or perceived, may have a negative impact on CompoSecure’s reputation, which could have a negative effect upon its business, financial condition or results of operations, and which could negatively impact the CompoSecure Management Fee payable to us.
Digital asset storage systems, such as the CompoSecure business’ Arculus Cold Storage Wallet, are subject to potential illegal misuse, risks related to a loss of funds due to theft of digital assets, security and cybersecurity risks, system failures and other operational issues, which could cause damage to CompoSecure’sthe reputation and brand.brand of the CompoSecure business.
Digital assets have the potential to be used for financial crimes or other illegal activities. Even if the CompoSecure business complies with all laws and regulations, CompoSecureit has no ability to ensure that its customers, partners or others to whom it licenses or sells its products and services comply with all laws and regulations applicable to them and their transactions. Any negative publicity the CompoSecure business receives regarding any allegations of unlawful uses of the Arculus Cold Storage Wallet could damage itsthe reputation,reputation of the CompoSecure business and such damage could be material and adverse, including to aspects of CompoSecure’sits business that are unrelated to the Arculus platform. More generally, any negative publicity regarding unlawful uses of digital assets in the marketplace could materially reduce the demand for CompoSecure’sthe CompoSecure business’ products and solutions derived from the Arculus platform.

For financial reporting purposes, we are required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to consolidate the financial statements of CompoSecure Holdings. As we are a newly formed entity, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presented herein and in our future filings with respect to periods prior to the Spin-Off will be represented by the historical Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of CompoSecure Holdings. Accordingly, except as otherwise indicated, the discussion and analysis in this section relates to CompoSecure Holdings’ historical financial condition and results of operations prior to the completion of the Spin-Off, and does not reflect the impact that the Spin-Off will have on us. Additionally, the financial statements of Resolute Holdings for periods ending following the completion of the Spin-Off will be prepared on a different basis from those of CompoSecure Holdings, and accordingly, our financial statements, financial condition and results of operations are expected to differ materially from those of CompoSecure Holdings and from the following discussion and analysis and any forward-looking statements contained therein.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Our and CompoSecure Holdings’ actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, particularly in “Item 1A.

Resolute Holdings provides operating management services to GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings and other companies it may manage in the future, both in the United States and internationally, to generate recurring, long-duration management fees. Resolute Holdings applies a differentiated approach of value creation through the systematic deployment of the Resolute Operating System to drive performance at businesses it manages with the intention of creating value at both the underlying managed businesses and at Resolute Holdings. Resolute Holdings also applies its M&A and capital markets expertise to drive inorganic growth of its managed businesses.
In accordance with ASC 810 and due to the terms of the CompoSecure Management Agreement, Resolute Holdings is required to consolidate GPGI Holdings because it is a VIE of which Resolute Holdings is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Resolute Holdings does not own any equity interests or common stock in GPGI Holdings, Husky Holdings, or GPGI.
GPGI Holdings, through the CompoSecure business, is the global leader in the design and manufacturing of premium metal payment cards and secure authentication solutions. The company pioneered the use of metal in payment cards dating back to 2003 and combines industry-leading innovation, advanced materials science, and proprietary manufacturing processes to deliver highly differentiated products to its customers. CompoSecure’s metal payment cards integrate a metal core with EMV® (acronym representing Europay, Mastercard, and Visa) chips, magnetic stripes, and contactless payment technology, while meeting stringent certification requirements from global payment networks. CompoSecure’s metal cards deliver a distinctive weight, a premium aesthetic, and enhanced durability for consumers, while its issuer customers benefit from the ability to attract higher-value consumers, reduce cardholder churn, and unlock higher customer spend relative to traditional plastic cards.
On February 28, 2025, GPGI completed the Spin-Off, whereby each stockholder of record who held shares of GPGI Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on February 20, 2025, received one share of Resolute Holdings common stock for every twelve shares of GPGI Class A Common Stock then held. On February 28, 2025, Resolute Holdings started trading regular-way on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker symbol “RHLD”. On September 23, 2025, Resolute Holdings transferred the listing of its common stock to the New York Stock Exchange where it continues to trade under the ticker symbol “RHLD”. On March 2, 2026, Resolute Holdings redomiciled its state of incorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada.
In connection with the completion of the Spin-Off, Resolute Holdings entered into the CompoSecure Management Agreement, pursuant to which Resolute Holdings is responsible for managing the day-to-day business and operations and overseeing the strategy of GPGI Holdings and its controlled affiliates. Due to the execution of and the terms of the CompoSecure Management Agreement, Resolute Holdings is required to consolidate GPGI Holdings for financial reporting purposes.
Pursuant to the CompoSecure Management Agreement, GPGI Holdings pays Resolute Holdings the CompoSecure Management Fee, payable quarterly in arrears, in a cash amount equal to 2.5% of Management Agreement Adjusted EBITDA. Management Agreement Adjusted EBITDA reflects (a) GPGI Holdings’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, extraordinary losses and expenses, one-time and non-recurring expenses, and the CompoSecure Management Fee, less (b) Parent Allocated Expense, as defined in the CompoSecure Management Agreement. Management Agreement Adjusted EBITDA for GPGI Holdings is calculated without duplication of Husky Holdings’ Adjusted EBITDA and its share of Parent Allocated Expense. GPGI Holdings is also required to reimburse Resolute Holdings and its affiliates for Resolute Holdings’ documented costs and expenses incurred on behalf of GPGI Holdings other than those expenses related to Resolute Holdings’ or its affiliates’ personnel who provide services to GPGI Holdings under the CompoSecure Management Agreement. Resolute Holdings will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether a cost or expense will be borne by Resolute Holdings or by GPGI Holdings.
The CompoSecure Management Agreement has an initial term of 10 years and shall automatically renew for successive ten-year terms unless terminated in accordance with its terms. Resolute Holdings and GPGI Holdings may each terminate the CompoSecure Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain other limited events, and in connection with certain of these limited events, Resolute Holdings has the right to require GPGI Holdings to pay a termination fee, which may be paid in cash, shares of common stock of GPGI or a combination of cash and stock. The CompoSecure Management Agreement also provides for certain indemnification rights in Resolute Holdings’ favor, as well as certain additional covenants, representations and warranties.
In conjunction with the closing of the Husky Transaction, Husky Holdings and Resolute Holdings entered into the Husky Management Agreement on substantially identical terms as the CompoSecure Management Agreement, pursuant to which Resolute Holdings provides management and other related services to Husky Holdings in exchange for payment of the Husky Management Fee, which is calculated without duplication of GPGI Holdings’ Adjusted EBITDA and its share of Parent Allocated Expense.
Economic Conditions
We were formed on September 27, 2024 to provide operating management services to CompoSecure Holdings and any other companies we may manage in the future. Until the completion of the Spin-Off on February 28, 2025, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of CompoSecure Holdings, had not engaged in any business operations and had no assets or liabilities, other than those incidental to our formation. Following the completion of the Spin-Off, the sole source of our revenues will be management fees we may receive pursuant to our management agreements, which currently consists solely of the CompoSecure Management Agreement. See “Item 1. Business – The CompoSecure Management Agreement.” As a result, for the foreseeable future, our performance, financial condition and results of operations will depend entirely on the performance of CompoSecure Holdings.
CompoSecure creates innovative, highly differentiated and customized financial payment card products for banks and other payment card issuers to support and increase their customer acquisition, customer retention and organic customer spend. CompoSecure’s customers consist primarily of leading international and domestic banks and other payment card issuers primarily within the United States (“U.S.”), with additional direct and indirect customers in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Canada, and the Middle East. CompoSecure is a platform for next generation payment technology, security, and authentication solutions. CompoSecure maintains trusted, highly-embedded and long-term customer relationships with an expanding set of global issuers. CompoSecure has established a niche position in the financial payment card market through over 20 years of innovation and experience and is focused primarily on this attractive subsector of the financial technology market. CompoSecure serves a diverse set of direct customers and indirect customers, including some of the largest issuers of credit cards in the U.S.
KNOWN TRENDS OR FUTURE EVENTS; FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS
Until the completion of the Spin-Off on February 28, 2025, Resolute Holdings had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. Accordingly, our only activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Spin-Off. We will not generate any revenues until the receipt of the CompoSecure Management Fee, which we expect will commence in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 (pro rata for the first quarter of the 2025 fiscal year). Following the completion of the Spin-Off, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, increased expenses as a result of being a public company.

Together, these circumstances create an environment in which it is challenging for CompoSecure Holdingsus to predict future operating results. If these uncertain business, macroeconomic or political conditions continue or further decline, theour business, financial condition and results of operations of CompoSecure Holdings could be materially adversely affected.
Since the Husky Transaction closed on January 12, 2026, management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 does not include Husky Holdings.
Net Sales
Net sales reflect the Company’s revenue generated from the sale of GPGI Holdings’ products as management fee revenue at Resolute Holdings is eliminated in consolidation. Product sales at GPGI Holdings primarily include the design and manufacturing of metal cards, including contact and dual interface cards. GPGI Holdings also generates revenue from the sale of Prelams (which refers to pre-laminated, sub-assemblies consisting of a composite of material layers which are partially laminated to be used as a component in the multiple layers of a final payment card or other card construction). Net sales include the effect of discounts and allowances which consist primarily of volume-based rebates.
Cost of Sales
The Company’s cost of sales comprises GPGI Holdings’ direct and indirect costs related to manufacturing products and providing related services. Product costs include the cost of raw materials and supplies, including various metals, EMV® chips, holograms, adhesives, magnetic stripes, and NFC assemblies; the cost of labor; equipment and facilities; operational overhead; depreciation and amortization; leases and rental charges; shipping and handling; and freight and insurance costs. Cost of sales can be impacted by many factors, including volume, operational efficiencies, procurement costs, and promotional activity.
The Company’s gross profit comprises GPGI Holdings’ net sales less cost of sales, and its gross margin represents gross profit as a percentage of its net sales.
The Company’s operating expenses are primarily comprised of selling, general, and administrative expenses at Resolute Holdings and GPGI Holdings, which generally consist of personnel-related expenses for its corporate, executive, finance, information technology, and other administrative functions, and expenses for outside professional services, including legal, audit and accounting services, as well as expenses for facilities, depreciation, amortization, travel, sales and marketing.
Income from operations consists of the Company’s gross profit less its operating expenses. Operating margin is income from the Company’s operations as a percentage of its net sales.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) primarily consist of interest expense net of any interest income and deferred financing costs.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) consists of the Company’s income from operations, less other expenses and income tax provision or benefit.
CompoSecure’s Arculus platform offers a broad range of secure authentication and digital asset storage solutions and enables its consumer Arculus Cold Storage Wallet for digital assets. CompoSecure believes that consumers can achieve enhanced protection by controlling their private keys with a cold storage wallet, such as the Arculus Cold Storage Wallet. At the same time, this market cycle has created uncertainty in timing for CompoSecure’s anticipated Arculus ramp up, as some of its partners and targets have been impacted. Therefore, CompoSecure has been taking a measured approach to better target the timing of its investments to support near-term and long-term opportunities.
CompoSecure believes that its performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for the company but also pose risks and challenges.
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 8, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. A detailed discussion of the year ended December 31, 2024, compared with December 31, 2023, is not included herein and can be found in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, under the heading “Results of Operations,” which is incorporated herein by reference.
Year ended December 31, 2025 vs. year ended December 31, 2024
The following table presents the Company’s results of operations for the periods indicated:
Resolute Holdings had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Our operating expenses in 2024 consisted of expenses allocated to Resolute Holdings from CompoSecure and CompoSecure Holdings’ financial records related to the direct and ongoing operation of Resolute Holdings. The expenses primarily related to salaries, benefits, bonus accruals, and equity-based compensation for personnel that were employees of CompoSecure Holdings during 2024 and whose employment was subsequently transferred to Resolute Holdings in connection with the Spin-Off.
