• Declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.453125 per share on the Company's 7.250% Series A Preferred Shares, $0.4921875 per share on the Company's 7.875% Series B Preferred Shares, and $0.4921875 per share on the Company's 7.875% Series C Preferred Shares payable on July 30, 2020;

• Subsequent to the end of the quarter, completed the accretive add-on acquisition of Polyfoam Corp by CODI’s subsidiary Foam Fabricators.

“Our strong performance over the second quarter underscores the continued benefits of our unique model, including the advantage of having a diverse, uncorrelated group of subsidiaries,” said Elias Sabo, CEO of Compass Diversified. “Since our founding, CODI’s permanent capital structure has allowed us the flexibility to capitalize on new opportunities throughout economic cycles and enabled us to take a patient and disciplined approach to executing our growth priorities. This quarter was no different and our solid balance sheet and strategic capital allocation meant that we were well-situated to partner with our subsidiaries to maintain momentum across their businesses and continue to deliver value to our shareholders.”

Mr. Sabo continued, “While we entered the second quarter with significant uncertainty around the ongoing impact of the global response to COVID-19, we are incredibly proud of how our teams focused on positioning our subsidiaries for long-term success during such a dynamic period. Together, we reduced spending and monetized working capital to maximize cash flow, which helped us to maintain our long history of paying distributions to our shareholders, even during the pandemic.”

“Our branded consumer businesses benefited significantly from increased consumer demand in outdoor categories, and 5.11, Velocity Outdoor and Liberty Safe all exceeded expectations for the quarter, contributing to our outperformance. Despite the continued uncertainty in the markets, we are confident in our ability to carefully manage our diversified set of subsidiaries and make our $1.44 per common share annual distribution, while we seek out select investment opportunities and look to opportunistically deploy the significant amount of capital at our disposal.”

Operating Results

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $333.6 million, as compared to $336.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $7.4 million, as compared to net income of $218.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, which included a $206.5 million gain on the sale of our Clean Earth subsidiary.

Adjusted EBITDA (see "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $49.5 million, as compared to $52.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

CODI reported CAD (see "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) of $13.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $26.2 million for the prior year's comparable quarter. The prior year’s CAD included cash flow from Clean Earth which was divested on June 30, 2019. CODI's CAD is calculated after taking into account all interest expenses, cash taxes paid, preferred distributions and maintenance capital expenditures, and includes the operating results of each of our businesses for the periods during which CODI owned them. However, CAD excludes the gains from monetizing interests in CODI's subsidiaries, which have totaled over $1.0 billion since going public in 2006.

Temporary Abatement of Management Fees in Response to Impact from Global Crisis

As announced last quarter, Compass Group Management LLC (“CGM”) waived 50% of its management fee calculated as of June 30, 2020 and due in July 2020, saving CODI $5.2 million. This followed CGM’s waiver of the portion of its management fee attributable to CODI’s cash balances held as of March 31, 2020, which produced cash savings of approximately $1.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, CODI reported Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $54.3 million, as compared to Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $17.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was 62.8 million, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was 59.9 million.

As of June 30, 2020, CODI had approximately $205.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $600 million outstanding in 8.00% Senior Notes due 2026 and no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The Company has no significant debt maturities until 2026 and had net borrowing availability of $599 million at June 30, 2020 under its revolving credit facility.

In May 2020, the Company completed a public offering of 5.0 million of its common shares. CODI raised $83.9 million of net proceeds from the offering. Additionally, CODI completed a private add-on offering of $200 million of 8.000% Senior Notes due 2026 at an issue price of 101.000%.

CODI used the net proceeds from the common share offering and the sale of the 8.000% Senior Notes due 2026 to repay the $200 million outstanding balance on the Company’s existing revolving credit facility, and the remaining $90 million of cash provides the Company with additional liquidity, which can be used opportunistically to pursue future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

Second Quarter 2020 Distributions

On July 2, 2020, CODI's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a second quarter distribution of $0.36 per share on the Company's common shares. The cash distribution was paid on July 23, 2020 to all holders of record of common shares as of July 16, 2020. Since its IPO in 2006, CODI has paid a cumulative distribution of $19.6752 per common share.

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 on the Series A Preferred Shares covers the period from, and including, April 30, 2020, up to, but excluding, July 30, 2020. The distribution for such period is payable on July 30, 2020 to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares as of July 15, 2020.

The Board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4921875 per share on the Company’s 7.875% Series B Preferred Shares (the “Series B Preferred Shares”). The distribution on the Series B Preferred Shares covers the period from, and including, April 30, 2020, up to, but excluding, July 30, 2020. The distribution for such period is payable on July 30, 2020 to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Shares as of July 15, 2020.

The Board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4921875 per share on the Company’s 7.875% Series C Preferred Shares (the “Series C Preferred Shares”). The distribution on the Series C Preferred Shares covers the period from, and including, April 30, 2020, up to, but excluding, July 30, 2020. The distribution for such period is payable on July 30, 2020 to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of July 15, 2020.

Guidance Update

The Company anticipates that COVID-19 will have a continued negative impact on its operations, financial condition and cash flows for the second half of 2020. The Company estimates its full year 2020 consolidated subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA, before deducting Corporate expense, and including Marucci as if it was acquired January 1, 2020, will be between $210 million and $240 million. In addition, the Company estimates its full year 2020 Payout Ratio, defined as our prior year’s annual distribution to common shareholders divided by our 2020 full year estimate for CAD, will be between 140% and 120%.

The Company believes that it currently has adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet its existing obligations and quarterly distributions to its shareholders, if approved by the Board of Directors over the next twelve months. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time. As detailed in our Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2020, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flow could be impacted more dramatically than currently anticipated and as a result, the Company’s liquidity and capital resources could become more constrained than expected.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by the Company to assess its performance. We have reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) on the attached schedules. We consider Net Income (Loss) to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and reflects important financial measures as it 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), Adjusted EBITDA is limited in that it does 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. This presentation also 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. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is also useful in measuring our ability to service debt and other payment obligations.

CAD is a non-GAAP measure used by the Company to assess its performance, as well as its ability to sustain quarterly distributions. We have reconciled CAD to Net Income (Loss) and Cash Flow from Operating Activities on the attached schedules. We consider Net Income (Loss) and Cash Flow from Operating Activities to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to CAD.

CAD is calculated after taking into account all interest expense, cash taxes paid and maintenance capital expenditures, and includes the operating results of each of our businesses for the periods during which CODI owned them. We believe that CAD provides investors additional information to enable them to evaluate our performance and ability to make anticipated quarterly distributions.

Payout Ratio is a non-GAAP measure defined as our prior year's annual distribution to common shareholders divided by our CAD. We believe the Payout Ratio provides investors additional information to enable them to evaluate our performance and our ability to sustain quarterly distributions.

In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not reconciled 2020 Adjusted EBITDA or 2020 Payout Ratio (which requires an estimate of 2020 CAD) to their comparable GAAP measure because we do not provide guidance on Net Income (Loss), Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities or the applicable reconciling items as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these items. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

None of Adjusted EBITDA, CAD nor Payout Ratio is 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.
