Compass Diversified Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Generates Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment of $19.4 Million

Westport, Conn., November 6, 2013 – Compass Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced today its consolidated operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter 2013 Highlights

 

    Generated Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment (“CAD” or “Cash Flow”) of $19.4 million for the third quarter of 2013;

 

    Reported net income of $78.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, which includes a $61.3 million supplemental put expense reversal in connection with the previously announced termination of the Supplemental Put Agreement on July 1, 2013;

 

    Paid a third quarter 2013 cash distribution of $0.36 per share in October 2013, bringing cumulative distributions paid to $9.9552 per share since CODI’s IPO in May of 2006;

 

    Exercised option to expand revolving credit facility; and

 

    Generated debt and equity proceeds totaling approximately $142.4 million from the initial public offering (IPO) of CODI’s subsidiary, Fox Factory Holding Corp. (“FOX”), while maintaining a majority ownership in FOX.


“Our financial results for the third quarter of 2013 were consistent with management’s expectations as we continue to capitalize on the relative operating and financial strength of our leading middle market businesses,” stated Alan Offenberg, CEO of Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC. “During the quarter, our Liberty subsidiary delivered another record performance, increasing both revenue and profitability for the third consecutive quarter. In addition, our FOX subsidiary completed its IPO, a major milestone for our Company. CODI generated total net proceeds, including the repayment of intercompany debt, of approximately $142.4 million from the offering. Importantly, we continue to hold a majority interest in FOX, enabling CODI to participate in the company’s future success. Although Cash Flow for the third quarter was reduced as a result of FOX’s successful IPO, this transaction demonstrates the considerable strength of CODI’s business model and highlights our ability to unlock significant value for shareholders. With a strong balance sheet, we intend to continue to invest in high-return organic growth initiatives and pursue attractive platform and add-on acquisitions under favorable valuations and terms that are accretive to Cash Flow.”

Operating Results

CODI reported Cash Flow (see note regarding use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below) of $19.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $22.8 million for the prior year comparable quarter. CODI’s weighted average number of shares outstanding for both the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was approximately 48.3 million.

Cash Flow for the third quarter of 2013 reflects year-over-year growth in the Company’s Liberty Safe and Arnold Magnetic businesses, offset by the impact on Cash Flow from the IPO of CODI’s FOX subsidiary business completed on August 13, 2013. Subsequent to the IPO, FOX generated Cash Flow of $7.3 million, which was excluded in CODI’s calculation of CAD for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. In connection with the offering, CODI sold an aggregate of 5,800,238 shares of FOX’s common stock, generating net proceeds from equity of approximately $80.9 million while maintaining a majority ownership in FOX upon completion of the IPO. In addition, FOX repaid in full the outstanding balance of approximately $61.5 million under its previous credit facility with CODI.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, CODI’s Cash Flow increased to $63.7 million, as compared to $62.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. CODI’s weighted average number of shares outstanding for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was approximately 48.3 million.

CODI’s Cash Flow 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. However, Cash Flow excludes the gains from monetizing interests in CODI’s subsidiaries, which have totaled more than $270 million since going public in 2006.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $78.3 million, as compared to net income of $6.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. CODI reversed approximately $61.3 million of supplemental put expense in connection with the termination of the Supplemental Put Agreement on July 1, 2013.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, CODI reported net income of $83.9 million, as compared to net income of $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2013, CODI had approximately $151.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $280.5 million outstanding on its term loan facility and no outstanding borrowings under its $320 million revolving credit facility. The Company has no significant debt maturities until 2017 and had borrowing availability of approximately $318 million at September 30, 2013 under its revolving credit facility.

On August 6, 2013, CODI exercised an option under its credit agreement to expand its revolving credit facility by $30 million, increasing the total amount available under the facility to $320 million subject to borrowing base restrictions. The Company intends to utilize the incremental borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility to fund future growth opportunities and provide for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On August 13, 2013, CODI’s FOX subsidiary closed its initial public offering of an aggregate of 9,857,143 shares of common stock, which included the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at an initial offering price of $15.00 per share. As a selling stockholder in this offering, CODI generated net proceeds from equity of approximately $80.9 million. In addition, FOX repaid in full the outstanding balance of approximately $61.5 million under its previous credit facility with CODI. Based on the Company’s debt and equity interests in FOX, CODI generated total proceeds of approximately $142.4 million from the FOX IPO and continues to maintain a majority ownership in FOX.

Third Quarter 2013 Distribution

On October 10, 2013, CODI’s Board of Directors declared a third quarter distribution of $0.36 per share. The cash distribution was paid on October 30, 2013 to all holders of record as of October 23, 2013. Since its IPO in May of 2006, CODI has paid a cumulative distribution of $9.9552 per share.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CAD, or Cash Flow, is a non-GAAP measure used by the Company to assess its performance, as well as its ability to sustain and increase quarterly distributions. A number of CODI’s businesses have seasonal earnings patterns. Accordingly, the Company believes that the most appropriate measure of its performance is over a trailing or expected 12-month period. We have reconciled CAD, or Cash Flow, to Net Income and Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities on the Attached Schedules. We consider Net Income and Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to CAD, or Cash Flow.
