Insights

The first quarter financial performance of Compass Diversified showcases a solid revenue increase, particularly within their Branded Consumer sector. The 8% year-over-year rise in net sales to $524.3 million is a robust indicator of the company's topline growth. However, the decline in industrial net sales by 10% to $159.6 million may suggest sector-specific challenges or a strategic shift in focus towards consumer brands.

The increase in Adjusted Earnings by 73% to $34.3 million and the 28% growth in Adjusted EBITDA to $94.8 million are significant, reflecting operational efficiency and possibly the benefits of strategic acquisitions like The Honey Pot Co. Despite the overall net income drop due to a one-time gain in the previous year, the underlying profit metrics seem healthy.

Investors should note the management's decision to stop adding back management fees in Adjusted EBITDA calculations, as this could impact comparability with previous periods and peer companies. Meanwhile, the strengthened outlook for the full year 2024, with expectations of Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA between $480 million and $520 million, signals management confidence, although offset by divestitures.

For retail investors, it's important to view the increased distribution of $0.25 per share in light of the company's liquidity and capital resources, with over $64.7 million in cash and a significant net borrowing capacity. This distribution, alongside the performance upswing, may be seen as a positive indicator of the company's ability to generate shareholder value in the near term. Looking at the balance sheet, the company appears to be reasonably leveraged with no major debt maturities until 2027, which is reassuring for investor confidence regarding financial stability.

The strategic divestiture of Crosman Corporation and the acquisition of The Honey Pot Co. reflect Compass Diversified's agile approach to portfolio management, which is key for long-term value creation. With a keen eye on innovation and disruptive growth, the pivot towards consumer brands could be a strategic move to capitalize on more resilient consumer spending patterns. This aligns with broader market trends where consumer-driven companies are often better poised to navigate economic fluctuations.

Adjusting the outlook following the Crosman sale indicates nimble financial planning. For an investor, this suggests that the company is actively managing its portfolio to optimize performance rather than relying on legacy holdings. Additionally, the increase in Adjusted Earnings guidance, potentially fueled by interest savings from debt repayment, is a testament to effective capital management, which is important for maximizing shareholder returns.

However, investors must critically evaluate the implications of non-GAAP measures like Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings, understanding that these metrics exclude certain costs and may present a more favorable view of the company's financial health than GAAP measures. The disparity between the robust Adjusted EBITDA and the more modest Income from Continuing Operations growth warrants a careful examination of what these adjustments entail and how they impact the true earning power of the firm.

WESTPORT, Conn., May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced today its consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Given our first quarter results and the momentum we see in many of our businesses, we are feeling optimistic and raising our outlook.”

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net sales in the first quarter of 2024 were $524.3 million, up 8% compared to $483.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. This was driven by a 61% increase in Lugano net sales and the acquisition of The Honey Pot Co. On a pro forma basis, assuming CODI had acquired The Honey Pot Co. on January 1, 2023, net sales were up 4%.

On a pro forma basis, Branded Consumer net sales increased 11% to $375.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Industrial net sales decreased 10% to $159.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2024 was $38.6 million compared to $34.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. Operating income in the first quarter of 2024 reflected higher SG&A from the acquisition of The Honey Pot Co., as well as an $8.2 million non-cash impairment expense associated with Velocity Outdoor.

Income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2024 increased 51% to $2.4 million compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Net income in the first quarter of 2024 was $5.8 million compared to $109.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting the $98.0 million gain on the sale of Advanced Circuits in February 2023.

Adjusted Earnings (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the first quarter of 2024 increased 73% to $34.3 million compared to $19.8 million a year ago.

The Board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.453125 per share on the Company’s 7.250% Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”).

The distribution for such period was payable on April 30, 2024, to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of April 15, 2024.

2024 Outlook

As a result of the strong performance of the Company’s Branded Consumer vertical, it is raising its outlook for Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA by $10 million. However, with the recent sale of Crosman, the Company is reducing its outlook by a similar amount. As a result, CODI expects its current subsidiaries, inclusive of The Honey Pot Co. as if it owned it from January 1, 2024, and excluding Crosman, to produce Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the full year 2024 of between $480 million and $520 million. Of this range, CODI expects its Branded Consumer vertical to produce $355 million to $385 million and its Industrial vertical to produce $125 million to $135 million. This estimate is based on the summation of the Company’s expectations for its current subsidiaries in 2024, and is absent additional acquisitions or divestitures, and excludes corporate expenses such as interest expense, management fees paid by CODI and corporate overhead.

Inclusive of the strong performance of the Company’s Branded Consumer vertical and the sale of Crosman, CODI expects to earn Adjusted EBITDA (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below), which includes management fees and corporate expenses, of $390 million to $430 million for the full year 2024. Adjusted EBITDA only includes results from The Honey Pot Co. from the date of acquisition.

In addition, the Company is raising its Adjusted Earnings guidance and now expects to earn between $148 million and $163 million ($145-$160 million previously) (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the full year 2024. The increased range includes the outperformance of CODI’s Branded Consumer vertical in the first quarter of 2024, the sale of Crosman, and the interest savings on its outstanding floating rate debt as a result of the use of proceeds from the Crosman sale to pay down its revolver balance outstanding.

In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, CODI has not reconciled 2024 Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA, 2024 Adjusted EBITDA or 2024 Adjusted Earnings to their comparable GAAP measure because it does not provide guidance on Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations or Net Income (Loss) or the applicable reconciling items as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these items. For the same reasons, CODI is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Conference Call

In conjunction with this announcement, CODI will host a conference call on May 1, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. E.T. / 2:00 p.m. PT with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Elias Sabo, Chief Financial Officer, Ryan Faulkingham, and Compass Group Management’s Chief Operating Officer, Pat Maciariello. A live webcast of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of CODI’s website. To access the call by phone, please go to this link (registration link) and you will be provided with dial in details. To avoid delays, we encourage participants to dial into the conference call 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled start time. A replay of the webcast will also be available for a limited time on the Company’s website.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings are non-GAAP measures used by the Company to assess its performance. We have reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Earnings to Net Income (Loss) on the attached schedules. We consider Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income (Loss) to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted Earnings. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings provides useful information to investors and reflect important financial measures as each excludes the effects of items which reflect the impact of long-term investment decisions, rather than the performance of near-term operations. When compared to Net Income (Loss) and Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, are each limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capital assets used in generating revenues of our businesses or the non-cash charges associated with impairments, as well as certain cash charges. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to view the performance of our businesses in a manner similar to the methods used by us and the management of our businesses, provides additional insight into our operating results and provides a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition. The presentation of Adjusted Earnings provides insight into our operating results and provides a measure for evaluating earnings from continuing operations available to common shareholders.

Pro forma net sales is defined as net sales including the historical net sales relating to the pre-acquisition periods of The Honey Pot Co., assuming that the Company acquired The Honey Pot Co. on January 1, 2023. We have reconciled pro forma net sales to net sales, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on the attached schedules. We believe that pro forma net sales is useful information for investors as it provides a better understanding of sales performance, and relative changes thereto, on a comparable basis. Pro forma net sales is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results would have been if the acquisition had in fact occurred on the date or for the periods indicated nor does it purport to project net sales for any future periods or as of any date.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings and pro forma net sales are not meant to be a substitute for GAAP measures and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
