We provide an elementary proof of the equivalence of various notions of uniform hyperbolicity for a class of GL$(2,\mathbb{C})$ cocycles and establish a Johnson-type theorem for extended CMV matrices, relating the spectrum to the set of points on the unit circle for which the associated Szegő cocycle is not uniformly hyperbolic.
