Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Net sales in the third quarter of 2022 were $597.6 million, up 22% compared to $488.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was due to strong performance at its branded consumer and niche industrial subsidiaries. On a pro forma basis, assuming CODI had acquired Lugano and PrimaLoft on January 1, 2021, net sales were up 15% compared to the prior year period.

Branded consumer net sales, pro forma for the Lugano and PrimaLoft acquisitions, increased 21% in the third quarter of 2022 to $380.5 million compared to $314.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. Niche industrial net sales increased 7% in the third quarter of 2022 to $219.4 million compared to $205.0 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Net income for the third quarter of 2022 decreased to $2.6 million compared to net income of $90.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2022 decreased to $1.1 million compared to $18.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decreases in net income and income from continuing operations were a result of higher interest expense related to the funding of the acquisitions of PrimaLoft and Lugano and provisions for income tax primarily as a result of the reclassification of Advanced Circuits to continuing operations. Additionally, the Company’s net income in the year-ago period included a $72.7 million gain from the sale of Liberty Safe in August 2021. Operating income for the third quarter of 2022 increased 16% to $48.7 million compared to $41.9 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Adjusted Earnings (see “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the third quarter of 2022 increased 28% to $46.0 million compared to $35.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, was 71.9 million and, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, was 64.9 million.

Adjusted EBITDA (see "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) in the third quarter of 2022 was $98.3 million, up 27% compared to $77.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the strong performance across the branded consumer and niche industrial businesses on a combined basis and the impact of the PrimaLoft and Lugano acquisitions. The Company no longer adds back management fees in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Management fees incurred during the third quarter were $16.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2022, CODI had approximately $61.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, $113 million outstanding on its revolver, $397.5 million outstanding in term loans, $1.0 billion outstanding in 5.250% Senior Notes due 2029 and $300 million outstanding in 5.000% Senior Notes due 2032.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had no significant debt maturities until 2027 and had net borrowing availability of approximately $485 million under its revolving credit facility.

Increases 2022 Outlook

As a result of CODI’s strong financial performance in the third quarter, its expectations for the remainder of 2022 and its current view of the economy, the Company is raising its outlook. CODI expects its current subsidiaries to produce consolidated subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022 of between $460 million and $470 million. This estimate is based on the summation of the Company’s expectations for its current subsidiaries in 2022, absent additional acquisitions or divestitures, includes a reduction for management fees paid at the subsidiaries of approximately $7.5 million and excludes corporate expenses such as interest expense, management fees paid at CODI and corporate overhead. In addition, the Company expects to earn between $145 million and $155 million in Adjusted Earnings for the full year 2022.

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 and PrimaLoft, assuming that the Company acquired Lugano and PrimaLoft 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.
