SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current business factors and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, all of which are necessary in order to form a basis for determining the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its reserves and the estimates used in calculations on an on-going basis. Significant areas requiring management to make estimates include the valuation of equity instruments, measurement of changes in the fair value
of earnout consideration liability, estimates of derivative liability associated with the Exchangeable Notes (as defined below), which were marked to market each quarter based on a Lattice model approach, derivative asset for the interest rate swap, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets which are based on an assessment of recoverability of the deferred tax assets against future taxable income and estimates of the inputs used to calculate the tax receivable agreement liability, reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, estimated useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, and lease term, discount rates and other inputs used to measure right of use assets and lease liabilities.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An immaterial adjustment has been made to the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to reclassify within cash flows from operating activities the change in other liabilities to non-cash operating lease expense and lease liabilities. In addition, $1,303 previously presented on the consolidated statement of cash flows as deferred tax benefits within cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was reclassified to payments of tax receivable agreement liability within cash flows from financing activities.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company evaluates its contractual, ownership, and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). A VIE is an entity that either lacks sufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or for which the equity investors do not have characteristics of a controlling financial interest. These evaluations are complex and involve judgment. If the Company determines that an entity in which it holds a contractual or ownership interest is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates such entity in its consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Management performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively.
Change to Equity Method Accounting Presentation for Holdings
The Company has a variable interest in Holdings, the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary. Holdings is considered a VIE as the Company is the sole holder of Holdings’ equity investment risk but is not able to direct the activities that most significantly impact Holdings’ economic performance. Effective as of February 28, 2025, the date of the Spin-Off of Resolute Holdings, and as a result of Holdings entering into the Management Agreement with Resolute Holdings, the Company determined that Holdings is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of Holdings that most significantly impact its economic performance. Therefore, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Holdings, and the operating companies which are its subsidiaries, are not consolidated in the financial statements included in this report are instead accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the financial information of Holdings is not reflected within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s share of the earnings of Holdings is reported in a single line item within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and cash flows as earnings from equity method investment. The carrying value of the Company's investment in Holdings is reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as equity method investment. This equity method investment is increased (decreased) by the Company's share of the earnings (losses) of Holdings and is also decreased by the Company’s share of dividends declared by Holdings from time to time (if any). The Company's investment in Holdings is accounted for using the equity method of accounting because the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Holdings, but as a result of the Management Agreement, does not have control over Holdings. No gain or loss was recognized upon conversion of Holdings as an equity method investment because Resolute Holdings and the Company were both under common control at the date of the Spin-Off.
If the Company’s carrying value in Holdings is reduced to zero, losses would not be recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company guarantees obligations of Holdings or has committed additional funding. If Holdings subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

The Company has elected to classify distributions received from Holdings using the cumulative earnings approach. Under the cumulative earnings approach, distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized are classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount are classified as cash inflows from investing activities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when the performance obligations under the terms of the Company’s contracts with its customers have been satisfied. This occurs at the point in time when control of the specific goods or services as specified by each purchase order are transferred to customers. Specific goods refers to the products offered by the Company, including metal cards, high security documents, and pre-laminated materials. Transfer of control passes to customers upon shipment or upon receipt, depending on the agreement with the specific customers. ASC 606 requires entities to record a contract asset when a performance obligation has been satisfied or partially satisfied, but the amount of consideration has not yet been received because the receipt of the consideration is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. ASC 606 also requires an entity to present a revenue contract as a contract liability in instances when a customer pays consideration, or an entity has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (e.g. receivable), before the entity transfers a good or service to the customer. The Company did not have any revenue contract assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

The Company invoices its customers at the time when control is transferred, with payment terms ranging between 15 and 60 days depending on each individual contract. As the payment is due within 90 days of the invoice, a significant financing component is not included within the contracts.

The majority of the Company’s contracts with its customers have the same performance obligation of manufacturing and transferring a specified number of cards to the customer. Each individual card included within an order constitutes a separate performance obligation, which is satisfied upon the transfer of goods to the customer. The contract term as defined by ASC 606 is the length of time it takes to deliver the goods or services promised under the purchase order or statement of work. As such, the Company's contracts are generally short term in nature.

Revenue is measured in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized net of variable consideration such as discounts, rebates, and returns.

The Company’s products do not include an unmitigated right of return unless the product is non-conforming or defective. If the goods are non-conforming or defective, the defective goods are replaced or reworked or, in certain instances, a credit is issued for the portion of the order that was non-conforming or defective. A provision for sales returns and allowances is recorded based on experience with goods being returned. Most returned goods are re-worked and subsequently re-shipped to the customer and recognized as revenue. Historically, returns have not been material to the Company.

Additionally, the Company has a rebate program with certain customers allowing for a rebate based on achieving a certain level of shipped sales during the calendar year. This rebate is estimated and updated throughout the year and accounted for as a reduction of revenues and the related accounts receivable.
Stock Repurchases
The Company’s stock repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase shares in open market and/or private transactions from time to time based on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, share price and other market conditions, the Company’s ongoing capital allocation planning, cash and debt levels, and other demands for cash. The Company records the shares repurchased as treasury stock based on the amount paid to repurchase such shares. Direct costs incurred to acquire treasury stock are classified as financing activities in the statement of cash flows. The ultimate use of the repurchased shares has not been determined and, therefore, they are presented separately as a reduction to shareholders' equity.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to controlling interest by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period includes Class A Common Stock but was exclusive of Class B Common Stock (while outstanding) as these shares have no economic or participating rights.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss allocated to potential dilutive instruments attributable to controlling interest by the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the potentially dilutive shares of common stock equivalents resulting from the assumed exercise of the warrants, payment of the earnouts, exercise and vesting of the equity awards and exchange of the Class B units and Exchangeable Notes ("securities") only if the effect is not anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On September 29, 2025, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-07, Scope Refinements for Derivatives and Share-Based Noncash Consideration (“ASU 2025-07”), which amends ASC 815 and ASC 606. ASU 2025-07 revises the guidance in ASC 815 and ASC 606 to clarify that the update was issued to reduce complexity and diversity in practice by: (1) refining the application of derivative accounting for contracts with entity-specific reference terms; and (2) clarifying the accounting for share-based noncash consideration in revenue arrangements. For all entities, ASU 2025-07 will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On September 18, 2025, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, Accounting for Internal-Use Software Costs (“ASU 2025-06”), which amends ASC 350-40 to modernize guidance for internal-use software. ASU 2025-06 introduces a principles-based approach to capitalization, replacing outdated stage-based guidance that did not align with modern development practices such as agile and iterative methods. The amendments apply to all entities that develop or acquire internal-use software, including website development costs. The Board issued this update to reduce complexity, improve consistency, and better reflect real-world software development processes. For all entities, ASU 2025-06 will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On May 12, 2025, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-03, Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (“ASU 2025-03”), which is based on an EITF Issue. ASU 2025-03 revises the guidance in ASC 805 to clarify that, in determining the accounting acquirer in “a business combination that is effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which a VIE is acquired,” an entity would be required to consider the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15. Previously, the accounting acquirer in such transactions was always the primary beneficiary. For all entities, ASU 2025-03 will become effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities ("PBEs"). The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for all PBEs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. On January 7, 2025, the FASB released ASU 2025-01 which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 “to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.” The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which applies to all entities subject to income taxes. For PBEs, the new requirements became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities ("non-PBEs"), the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update require that public business entities on an annual basis disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. The new guidance focuses on two specific disclosure areas: rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The rate reconciliation disclosure requirements differ for PBEs as compared to non-PBEs. The income taxes paid disclosures are the same for all entities. The Company adopted this ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280),which applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The guidance will be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analysis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024 and has reflected updates to its segment reporting in the Company's consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
