Compass Diversified Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results
Strong Results Driven by CODI’s Unique Business Model and Significant Competitive Advantage
Westport, Conn., February 28, 2024 – Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner of leading middle market branded consumer and industrial businesses, announced today its consolidated operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
“Our fourth quarter results exceeded our expectations and demonstrate that owning premium businesses with defensible competitive moats drives strong financial performance,” said Elias Sabo, CEO of Compass Diversified. “At a consolidated level, our business saw strong revenue, net income, and Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA growth in the fourth quarter led by Lugano Diamonds. While the economic backdrop remains uncertain for many, our diversified business model continues to shine, and has us feeling optimistic that we will provide a strong shareholder return in the coming year.”
Sabo continued: “Our differentiated competitive advantage of a permanent capital structure and a lower cost of capital enabled our opportunistic sale of Marucci Sports in November and our acquisition of The Honey Pot Company in early 2024. Inclusive of The Honey Pot Company acquisition, we expect to see above trend growth in consolidated financial performance in 2024, on a pro forma basis.”
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Summary vs. Same Year-Ago Period (where applicable)
•Net sales in the fourth quarter up 7% to $567.0 million. For the full year 2023, net sales up 2% to $2.1 billion, and roughly flat on a pro forma basis.
•Branded consumer net sales in the fourth quarter up 13% to $371.9 million. For the full year 2023, branded consumer pro forma net sales up 3% to $1.3 billion.
•Industrial net sales in the fourth quarter down 3% to $195.1 million. For the full year 2023, industrial net sales down 5% to $728.5 million.
•Net income in the fourth quarter of $139.4 million vs. $8.7 million last year. For the full year 2023, net income of $262.4 million vs. $51.4 million. The increase in both periods was primarily due to the $179.5 million gain on the sale of Marucci Sports in November 2023 and the $98.0 million gain on the sale of Advanced Circuits in February 2023.
•Loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of $36.4 million vs. $4.6 million in the prior year period. For the full year 2023, loss from continuing operations of $38.7 million vs. income from continuing operations of $3.7 million for full year 2022. The increases in net loss from continuing operations were primarily due to non-cash impairment charges associated with PrimaLoft and Velocity Outdoor.
•Adjusted Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, in the fourth quarter was $38.1 million vs. $16.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year 2023, Adjusted Earnings was $116.7 million vs. $110.2 million in the prior year.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results
Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $567.0 million, up 7% compared to $529.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year 2023, net sales were $2.1 billion, up 2% compared to $2.0 billion a year ago. This was driven by a 63% increase in Lugano net sales, somewhat offset by lower net sales at PrimaLoft and Velocity Outdoor due to inventory destocking headwinds and reduced wholesale demand. On a pro forma basis, assuming CODI had acquired PrimaLoft on January 1, 2022, net sales were roughly flat in the full year 2023.
Branded consumer net sales increased 13% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $371.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. On a pro forma basis, branded consumer net sales increased 3% to $1.3 billion in the full year 2023 compared to a year ago.
Industrial net sales decreased 3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $195.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, and decreased 5% to $728.5 million in the full year 2023 compared to a year ago.
Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $4.0 million compared to operating income of $26.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year 2023, operating income decreased 31% to $90.1 million compared to $130.8 million a year ago. The decline was primarily due to a $56.8 million non-cash impairment expense associated with PrimaLoft in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Net income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $139.4 million compared to net income of $8.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year 2023, net income was $262.4 million compared to $51.4 million a year ago. The increases in net income were due primarily to the $179.5 million gain on the sale of Marucci Sports in November 2023 and the $98.0 million gain on the sale of Advanced Circuits in February 2023.
Loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $36.4 million compared to $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year 2023, loss from continuing operations was $38.7 million compared to income from continuing operations of $3.7 million a year ago. The increases in net loss from continuing operations were primarily due to the non-cash impairment expenses associated with PrimaLoft and Velocity Outdoor.


Adjusted Earnings (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $38.1 million compared to $16.3 million a year ago. For the full year 2023, Adjusted Earnings was $116.7 million compared to $110.2 million a year ago. CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 72.43 million compared to 72.20 million in the prior year fourth quarter. For the full year 2023, CODI’s weighted average number of shares outstanding was 72.11 million compared to 70.72 million in 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $94.8 million, up 35% compared to $70.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $340.9 million, up 11% compared to $306.0 million a year ago. The increases were primarily due to strong results at Lugano and the Company’s Industrial subsidiaries. The Company no longer adds back management fees in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Management fees incurred during the fourth quarter and full year were $16.9 million and $68.4 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2023, CODI had approximately $450.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $2.2 million outstanding on its revolver, $385.0 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.

2024 Outlook
CODI expects its current subsidiaries, inclusive of The Honey Pot Company as if we owned it from January 1, 2024, to produce consolidated 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 expects its Branded Consumer vertical to produce $355 million to $385 million and its Industrial vertical to produce $125 million to $135 million. This estimate is 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 is now providing guidance for Adjusted EBITDA (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) including management fees and corporate expenses, and expects to earn between $390 million and $430 million for the full year 2024. Adjusted EBITDA only includes results from The Honey Pot Company from the date of acquisition.
In addition, the Company expects to earn between $145 million and $160 million in Adjusted Earnings (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 consolidated 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 and provides a measure for evaluating earnings from continuing operations available to common shareholders.
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 2024 consolidated Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA, 2024 Adjusted EBITDA or 2024 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.
