First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Net sales in the first quarter of 2022 were $510.5 million, up 25% compared to $408.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was due to the Company’s acquisition of Lugano Diamonds & Jewelry in September 2021, as well as strong growth from BOA, Marucci Sports and Altor Solutions. On a pro forma basis, assuming CODI had acquired Lugano on January 1, 2021, net sales were up 17% compared to the prior year period.
Branded consumer pro forma net sales increased 14% in the first quarter of 2022 to $331.6 million compared to $290.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. Niche industrial net sales increased 21% in the first quarter of 2022 to $178.9 million compared to $147.6 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $29.7 million, up 35% compared to net income of $22.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the strong performance across our branded consumer and niche industrial businesses on a combined basis.
Adjusted Earnings (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the first quarter of 2022 was $36.0 million, up 38% compared to $26.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was 69.4 million and for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, was 64.9 million.
Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2022 was $18.4 million, up 40% compared to income from continuing operations of $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the strong performance across our branded consumer and niche industrial businesses on a combined basis.
Adjusted EBITDA (see "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) in the first quarter of 2022 was $97.6 million, up 29% compared to $75.5 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, CODI had approximately $97.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, no borrowings outstanding on its revolver, $1.0 billion outstanding in 5.250% Senior Notes due 2029 and $300 million outstanding in 5.000% Senior Notes due 2032.
The Company has no significant debt maturities until 2029 and had net borrowing availability of $599 million on March 31, 2022, under its revolving credit facility.
First Quarter 2022 Distributions
On April 1, 2022, CODI's Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a first quarter distribution of $0.25 per share on the Company's common shares. The cash distribution was paid on April 28, 2022, to all holders of record of common shares as of April 21, 2022.
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, 2022, up to, but excluding, April 30, 2022. The distribution for such period was payable on April 30, 2022, to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares as of April 15, 2022. The payment occurred on May 2, 2022, 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, January 30, 2022, up to, but excluding, April 30, 2022. The distribution for such period was payable on April 30, 2022, to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Shares as of April 15, 2022. The payment occurred on May 2, 2022, 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, January 30, 2022, up to, but excluding, April 30, 2022. The distribution for such period was payable on April 30, 2022, to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of April 15, 2022. The payment occurred on May 2, 2022, the next business day following the payment date.
CODI’s common and preferred cash distributions should generally constitute “qualified dividends” for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from “earnings and profits” (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), provided that the requisite holding period is met. To the extent that the amount of the cash distributions exceeds earnings and profits, such distribution will first be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares, and thereafter be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such shares. In addition, shareholders subject to tax rules regarding “unrelated business taxable income” (or “UBTI”) will no longer be allocated UBTI from the Trust allowing ownership by certain retirement accounts that previously created tax implications.
Increased 2022 Outlook
As a result of the strong financial performance in the first quarter, as well as the expectations for the remainder of 2022, the Company is raising its guidance and expects its current subsidiaries, including Advanced Circuits, to produce consolidated Adjusted EBITDA the full calendar year of 2022 of between $410 million and $430 million. This estimate is based on the summation of our expectations for our current subsidiaries in 2022, absent additional acquisitions or divestitures, and excludes corporate expenses such as interest expense, management fees and corporate overhead. In addition, the Company expects to earn between $120 million and $135 million in Adjusted Earnings for the full year of 2022, excluding Advanced Circuits subsidiary results as this business has been classified as held for sale and is presented as discontinued operations.

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 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) 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 Lugano, assuming that the Company acquired Lugano on January 1, 2021. 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 2022 Adjusted EBITDA or 2022 Adjusted Earnings to their comparable GAAP measure 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.
