Raises Full-Year Outlook Given Strong Third Quarter Performance

WESTPORT, Conn., Nov. 02, 2023 (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 September 30, 2023.

“Our third quarter results were remarkably strong, driven by Lugano’s continued outperformance and the majority of our companies performing above expectations,” said Elias Sabo, CEO of Compass Diversified. “The consistent resilience of our results against a challenging economic backdrop reflects not only the diversification of our subsidiaries, but our ability to find strong businesses that produce above-trend growth. Given our strong performance, we remain confident that our diversified group of subsidiaries will continue to drive value for our shareholders in 2023 and beyond.”

Mr. Sabo continued: “As announced today, we have made the strategic decision to sell Marucci to Fox Factory Holding Corp. We purchased the business in 2020 for $200 million and after approximately $70 million in add-on acquisitions, have agreed to sell the brand for $572 million. Our ability to sell this business for a large premium in the current consumer discretionary market further underscores the strength of our brands, as well as our ability to drive uncorrelated market returns. Ultimately, this fuels our lower cost of capital, deepens our economic moat, and provides us the greater ability to increase shareholder returns.”

• Branded consumer pro forma net sales up 2% to $388.3 million.
• Niche industrial net sales down 8% to $181.2 million.

• Loss from continuing operations of $5.0 million vs. $3.0 million.
• Adjusted Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $41.0 million vs. $41.6 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was up 13% to $103.9 million.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Net sales in the third quarter of 2023 were $569.6 million, down 1% compared to $575.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. Strong performance at Lugano and Marucci roughly offset lower sales at BOA due to inventory destocking in the footwear industry and lower sales at Velocity Outdoor in the third quarter of 2023. On a pro forma basis, assuming CODI had acquired PrimaLoft on January 1, 2022, net sales were down 1% in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year.

Branded consumer net sales, pro forma for the PrimaLoft acquisition, increased 2% in the third quarter of 2023 to $388.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2022. Niche industrial net sales decreased 8% in the third quarter of 2023 to $181.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $28.4 million compared to $43.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decline was due primarily to a $32.6 million non-cash impairment expense associated with the Company’s Velocity Outdoor subsidiary in the third quarter of 2023. Net loss in the third quarter of 2023 was $3.8 million compared to net income of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. Net loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2023 was $5.0 million compared to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increases in net loss and net loss from continuing operations are due to the non-cash impairment expense, as well as higher interest expense.

Adjusted Earnings (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the third quarter of 2023 was $41.0 million compared to $41.6 million a year ago. CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding in the third quarter of 2023 was 71.88 million compared to 71.91 million in the prior year third quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) in the third quarter of 2023 was $103.9 million, up 13% compared to $91.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to strong results at Lugano, Marucci, Sterno and Altor. The Company no longer adds back management fees in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Management fees incurred during the third quarter of 2023 were $18.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023, CODI had approximately $64.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $112.0 million outstanding on its revolver, $387.5 million outstanding in term loans, $1.0 billion outstanding in 5.250% Senior Notes due 2029 and $300.0 million outstanding in 5.000% Senior Notes due 2032.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no significant debt maturities until 2027 and had net borrowing availability of approximately $486 million under its revolving credit facility.

Third Quarter 2023 Distributions

On October 3, 2023, CODI’s Board declared a third quarter distribution of $0.25 per share on the Company's common shares. The cash distribution was paid on October 26, 2023, to all holders of record of common shares as of October 19, 2023.

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, July 30, 2023, up to, but excluding, October 30, 2023. The distribution for such period was payable on October 30, 2023, to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares as of October 15, 2023.

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, July 30, 2023, up to, but excluding, October 30, 2023. The distribution for such period was payable on October 30, 2023, to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Shares as of October 15, 2023.

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, July 30, 2023, up to, but excluding, October 30, 2023. The distribution for such period was payable on October 30, 2023, to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of October 15, 2023.

2023 Outlook

As a result of CODI’s strong financial performance in the third quarter, the Company is raising its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings outlook (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below). For the full year 2023, CODI now expects consolidated subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA of between $450 million and $465 million. This estimate is based on the summation of the Company’s expectations for its current subsidiaries in 2023, including Marucci, and is absent additional acquisitions or divestitures, and excludes corporate expenses such as interest expense, management fees paid by CODI and corporate overhead. For the full year 2023, including Marucci, CODI now expects to earn between $130 million and $140 million in Adjusted Earnings (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below).

In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, CODI has not reconciled 2023 Adjusted EBITDA or 2023 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 and provides a measure for evaluating earnings from continuing operations available to common shareholders. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings are also useful in measuring our ability to service debt and other payment obligations.

Pro forma net sales is defined as net sales including the historical net sales relating to the pre-acquisition periods of PrimaLoft, assuming that the Company acquired PrimaLoft on January 1, 2022. 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.

In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not reconciled 2023 Adjusted EBITDA or 2023 Adjusted Earnings to their comparable GAAP measures because we do not provide guidance on Net 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, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

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.
