Net Sales Growth of 6% Despite Challenging Economic Backdrop
Raises Full-Year Outlook Given Strong First Quarter Performance
WESTPORT, Conn., May 03, 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 March 31, 2023.
“The strength and durability of our diversified subsidiaries were especially apparent in the first quarter,” said Elias Sabo, CEO of Compass Diversified. “The fact that we were able to grow sales on a consolidated basis amidst the backdrop of broad and unique macroeconomic challenges is an extraordinary result for CODI. This certainly proves our thesis that our high-quality, premium brands can still take market share in difficult economic environments.”
Mr. Sabo continued: “While our Q1 performance was outstanding, we cannot ignore market headwinds that continue to cloud our near-term outlook, such as inventory destocking trends at retail and rapidly changing monetary policy. But quarters like this give us confidence that CODI’s diversified subsidiaries are setup to drive strong long-term financial results, translating into meaningful shareholder value creation.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Net sales in the first quarter of 2023 were $542.2 million, up 6% compared to $510.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the Company’s acquisition of PrimaLoft in July 2022. On a pro forma basis, assuming CODI had acquired PrimaLoft on January 1, 2022, net sales were up 1% in the first quarter of 2023.
Branded consumer net sales, pro forma for the PrimaLoft acquisition, increased 2% in the first quarter of 2023 to $365.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Niche industrial net sales decreased 1% in the first quarter of 2023 to $176.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2022.
Net income in the first quarter of 2023 was $109.6 million compared to $29.7 million in the first quarter of 2022 due to the $98.0 million gain on sale of Advanced Circuits in February 2023. Net income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2023 was $13.0 million compared to $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher interest expenses in the first quarter of 2023. Operating income for the first quarter of 2023 was $48.9 million compared to $44.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 due to the higher net sales.
Adjusted Earnings (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the first quarter of 2023 was $33.2 million compared to $36.0 million a year ago. The decrease was a result of financing costs for the acquisition of PrimaLoft in July 2022. CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2023 was 72.2 million compared to 69.4 million in the prior year first quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) in the first quarter of 2023 was $91.9 million, up 11% compared to $83.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of PrimaLoft. The Company no longer adds back management fees in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Management fees incurred during the first quarter of 2023 were $16.4 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, CODI had approximately $53.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $8.0 million outstanding on its revolver, $392.5 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 March 31, 2023, the Company had no significant debt maturities until 2029 and had net borrowing availability of approximately $590 million under its revolving credit facility.

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, January 30, 2023, up to, but excluding, April 30, 2023. The distribution for such period was payable on April 30, 2023, to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares as of April 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, January 30, 2023, up to, but excluding, April 30, 2023. The distribution for such period was payable on April 30, 2023, to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Shares as of April 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, January 30, 2023, up to, but excluding, April 30, 2023. The distribution for such period was payable on April 30, 2023, to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of April 15, 2023.
2023 Outlook
As a result of CODI’s strong financial performance in the first quarter, the Company is raising its Adjusted EBITDA 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 $430 million and $460 million. This estimate is based on the summation of the Company’s expectations for its current subsidiaries in 2023 and is absent additional acquisitions or divestitures, and excludes corporate expenses such as interest expense, management fees paid by CODI and corporate overhead. In addition, the Company is raising its Adjusted Earnings outlook. For the full year 2023, CODI now expects to earn between $110 million and $135 million in Adjusted Earnings (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the full year 2023.
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.
