The Preferred Distributions are payable on October 30, 2021. The payment will occur on November 1, 2021, the next business day following the payment date.

“CODI’s strong momentum continued in the third quarter as we generated outstanding results primarily due to heightened demand at our leading consumer brands,” said Elias Sabo, CEO of Compass Diversified. “With our permanent capital structure giving us flexibility through economic cycles, we have remained focused on building businesses for the future and supporting the brands we own. We are proud of our subsidiary teams, who have worked diligently to expertly navigate this current inflationary period by adeptly managing supply chains and prioritizing our customers, and believe they continue to be well positioned to grow.”

Mr. Sabo continued, “Recently, we announced a series of compelling transactions, including the strategic divestment of Liberty Safe in August 2021, the anticipated sale of Advanced Circuits, and the acquisition of luxury goods brand Lugano Diamonds. We also acquired Plymouth Foam and Lizard Skins as complementary add-ons to our strong Altor and Marucci subsidiaries, respectively. We continue to succeed at identifying, acquiring and investing in a diversified group of leading consumer and industrial businesses, which we believe will drive sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders.”

Operating Results

Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, was $488.2 million, as compared to $387.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, was $90.2 million, as compared to $20.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net income was primarily a result of the gain on the sale of Liberty Safe of $72.7 million.

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, was $90.0 million, as compared to $67.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to prior year period, was primarily a result of our 2020 acquisition of BOA, as well as strong performance by our branded consumer companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, CODI reported Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $37.7 million, as compared to Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $24.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

CODI reported CAD (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) of $42.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $43.5 million for the prior year's comparable quarter. 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 $1.1 billion since going public in 2006.

CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was 65.0 million, and for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was 64.9 million.

As of September 30, 2021, CODI had approximately $70.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $134.0 million outstanding on its revolver and $1.0 billion outstanding in 5.250% Senior Notes due 2029.

The Company has no significant debt maturities until 2026 and had net borrowing availability of $465.0 million on September 30, 2021 under its revolving credit facility.

Third Quarter 2021 Distributions

On October 5, 2021, CODI's Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a third quarter distribution of $0.36 per share on the Company's common shares. The cash distribution was paid on October 22, 2021 to all holders of record of common shares as of October 15, 2021.

Additionally, CODI’s Board of Directors declared a Special Distribution of $0.88 per share on the Trust’s common shares paid on September 7, 2021 to all holders of record of Common Shares as of the close of business on August 31, 2021 which was intended to partially cover the taxable income incurred by those shareholders in connection with the Election.

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, 2021, up to, but excluding, October 30, 2021. The distribution for such period is payable on October 30, 2021 to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares as of October 15, 2021. The payment will occur on November 1, 2021, the next business day following the payment date.

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, 2021, up to, but excluding, October 30, 2021. The distribution for such period is payable on October 30, 2021 to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Shares as of October 15, 2021. The payment will occur on November 1, 2021, the next business day following the payment date.

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, 2021, up to, but excluding, October 30, 2021. The distribution for such period is payable on October 30, 2021 to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of October 15, 2021. The payment will occur on November 1, 2021, the next business day following the payment date.

Guidance Update

As a result of the strong financial performance in the first nine months of the year, as well as the Company’s expectations for the remainder of 2021, the Company expects its current subsidiaries to produce consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the full calendar year of 2021 of between $380 million and $390 million pro forma for the sale of Liberty Safe and the acquisition of Lugano Diamonds. This estimate is based on the summation of our expectations for our current subsidiaries in 2021, absent additional acquisitions or divestitures, and excludes corporate expenses such as interest expense, management fees and corporate overhead. In addition, our Payout Ratio (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below), defined as our prior year's annual distribution to common shareholders, excluding the special distribution paid in September 2021 as a result of the tax reclassification, divided by our 2021 estimate for CAD, is anticipated to improve from the previous range and be better than 55%.

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 Provided by Operating Activities on the attached schedules. We consider Net Income (Loss) and Cash Flow Provided by 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 2021 Adjusted EBITDA or 2021 Payout Ratio (which requires an estimate of 2021 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.
