Insights

Financial Analyst

Compass Diversified's Q2 2024 results demonstrate a mixed performance across its portfolio. The company's consumer brands showed remarkable strength, with net sales up 20% (or 11% on a pro forma basis), effectively counterbalancing weaknesses in the industrial segment. This divergence highlights CODI's strategic advantage in maintaining a diversified portfolio.

Key financial metrics paint an intriguing picture:

• Net sales increased by 11% to $542.6 million
• Adjusted EBITDA rose 27% to $105.4 million
• Adjusted Earnings jumped 36% to $39.8 million

However, the company reported a loss from continuing operations of $13.7 million, primarily due to a $24.6 million loss from the divestiture of Crosman This strategic move, while causing a short-term hit, may streamline operations and focus resources on higher-performing segments.

The company's liquidity position remains solid with $68.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $543.6 million available under its revolving credit facility. This financial flexibility provides a cushion for potential economic headwinds and opportunities for strategic acquisitions.

CODI's maintained 2024 outlook, projecting Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA between $480 million and $520 million, reflects confidence in its business model despite economic uncertainties. The upward revision for the Branded Consumer vertical and downward adjustment for the Industrial vertical further underscores the diverging performance of these segments.

For investors, CODI's ability to deliver strong results in its consumer brands while navigating challenges in the industrial sector demonstrates resilience and adaptability. The continued quarterly distributions also provide an attractive income component to the investment thesis.

Market Research Analyst

Compass Diversified's Q2 2024 results offer valuable insights into broader market trends, particularly the divergence between consumer and industrial sectors. The 11% pro forma growth in Branded Consumer net sales to $373.5 million suggests robust consumer spending, despite inflationary pressures. This resilience in consumer brands is noteworthy, especially given the current economic backdrop.

Several key factors warrant attention:

• The exceptional performance of BOA and PrimaLoft indicates a strong recovery in the outdoor and active lifestyle markets.
• Lugano's extraordinary growth pace suggests a thriving luxury goods sector, potentially driven by high-end consumers less affected by economic headwinds.
• The 4% decline in Industrial net sales to $169.1 million aligns with broader economic indicators pointing to a slowdown in industrial activity.

The acquisition of The Honey Pot Co. in January 2024 appears to be a strategic move into the growing better-for-you feminine care market. This expansion into health-conscious consumer products could position CODI well for future growth, given increasing consumer focus on wellness and sustainability.

The divestiture of Crosman , while resulting in a short-term loss, may be a strategic realignment to focus on higher-growth or more synergistic businesses. This move reflects a broader trend of companies streamlining their portfolios to optimize performance.

CODI's maintained outlook for 2024, with adjustments between consumer and industrial verticals, suggests cautious optimism. The company's ability to offset industrial weaknesses with consumer strength demonstrates the value of its diversified portfolio strategy in navigating uncertain economic conditions.

For investors and market watchers, CODI's results provide a microcosm of current market dynamics, highlighting the importance of sector diversification and the potential for consumer-focused businesses to outperform in the current economic climate.

2024 Outlook

As a result of CODI’s financial performance in the second quarter, it’s expectations for the remainder of 2024 and its current view of the economy, the Company is maintaining its 2024 outlook.

CODI continues to expect its current subsidiaries, inclusive of The Honey Pot Co. as if it owned it from January 1, 2024, 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 now expects its Branded Consumer vertical to produce $365 million to $395 million, an upward revision of $10 million, and its Industrial vertical to produce $115 million to $125 million, a downward revision of $10 million. These estimates are 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.

CODI continues to expect 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 maintaining its Adjusted Earnings guidance and expects to earn between $148 million and $163 million (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the full year 2024.

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.

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.

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.
