Branded Consumer Performance Drives Strong Fourth Quarter Operating Results, Increasing Revenue from Prior Year and Beating Management’s Expectations

Permanent Capital Advantage Positioned CODI to Acquire Two Platform Businesses and Complete Strategic Add-Ons in 2020

Full-Year Results Demonstrate Benefits of Diversified Model in Navigating Volatility
Westport, Conn., February 24, 2021 - Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced today its consolidated operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Highlights
Reported net sales of $474.8 million for the fourth quarter 2020 and $1.561 billion for the full year 2020;
Reported net income of $8.8 million for the fourth quarter 2020 and $27.2 million for the full year 2020;
Reported non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $79.8 million for the fourth quarter 2020 and $249.2 million for the full year 2020;
Reported Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $35.8 million for the fourth quarter 2020 and $148.6 million for the full year 2020, and non-GAAP Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment ("CAD") of $36.0 million for the fourth quarter 2020 and $110.6 million for the full year 2020;
Paid a fourth quarter 2020 cash distribution of $0.36 per share on CODI's common shares in January 2021; and
Paid quarterly cash distributions of $0.453125 per share on the Company's 7.250% Series A Preferred Shares, $0.4921875 per share on the Company's 7.875% Series B Preferred Shares, and $0.4921875 per share on the Company's 7.875% Series C Preferred Shares payable on January 30, 2021.
“I am incredibly proud of our strong fourth quarter and full year results, which underscore how CODI’s differentiated model has continued to perform across economic cycles,” said Elias Sabo, CEO of Compass Diversified. “We drove impressive organic growth year-over-year and our permanent capital strategy enabled us to take advantage of multiple exciting opportunities in the market. At a time when



uncertainty and unprecedented volatility paralyzed many market participants, we acquired Marucci and BOA, two highly aspirational and rapidly growing consumer businesses, and we have already begun to see the impact of these strong brands.”
Mr. Sabo continued, “Our performance in 2020 is also a testament to the strategic diversification across our portfolio and the high quality of our subsidiary companies. We look forward to continuing to partner with our leading niche brands to enhance value for shareholders in the year to come.”
Operating Results
Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 were $474.8 million, as compared to $387.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Net sales were $1.561 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $1.450 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $8.8 million, as compared to $5.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, CODI reported net income of $27.2 million compared to net income of $307.1 million, which included $331.0 million in gains from sales of Clean Earth and Manitoba Harvest, for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA (see "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $79.8 million, as compared to $61.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $249.2 million, as compared to $226.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 was primarily a result of our 2020 acquisitions of BOA and Marucci, as well as strong performance in the branded consumer companies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, CODI reported Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $35.8 million, as compared to Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $53.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.
CODI reported CAD (see "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) of $36.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $30.0 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 $1.0 billion since going public in 2006.
CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was 64.9 million, and for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was 59.9 million.
As of December 31, 2020, CODI had approximately $70.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $307 million outstanding on its revolver and $600 million outstanding in 8.00% Senior Notes due 2026.
The Company has no significant debt maturities until 2026 and had net borrowing availability of $292 million at December 31, 2020 under its revolving credit facility.
Fourth Quarter 2020 Distributions
On January 4, 2021, CODI's Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a fourth quarter distribution of $0.36 per share on the Company's common shares. The cash distribution was paid on January 22, 2021 to all holders of record of common shares as of January 15, 2021. Since its IPO in 2006, CODI has paid a cumulative distribution of $20.3952 per common share.




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, October 30, 2020, up to, but excluding, January 30, 2021. The distribution for such period was payable on January 30, 2021 to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares as of January 15, 2021. The payment occurred on February 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, October 30, 2020, up to, but excluding, January 30, 2021. The distribution for such period was payable on January 30, 2021 to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Shares as of January 15, 2021. The payment occurred on February 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, October 30, 2020, up to, but excluding, January 30, 2021. The distribution for such period was payable on January 30, 2021 to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of January 15, 2021. The payment occurred on February 1, 2021, the next business day following the payment date.
Guidance Update
The Company expects its current subsidiaries to produce consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (see "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) in 2021 of between $305 million and $325 million. This estimate is based on the summation of our expectations for our current subsidiaries in 2021, absent additional acquisitions or divestitures, and excludes corporate expense 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 divided by our 2021 estimate for CAD, is anticipated to be between 80% and 70%.
Corporate Structure
The Company is exploring a change in its tax structure, including the possibility of electing to be taxed as a C corporation. The Company is evaluating the costs and benefits of such a change, as well as the implications of current and future tax law, corporate law, and the potential impacts of such a change to the Company’s access to the capital markets, distribution policy, corporate debt ratings, cost of capital, amongst many other considerations. The Company expects to provide updates on this process as appropriate.

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 from Operating Activities on the attached schedules. We consider Net Income (Loss) and Cash Flow from 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. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these estimates.
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.
