WESTPORT, Conn., Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Compass
Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI) ("CODI," "we," "our" or the "Company"), an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced
today its consolidated operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Third Quarter 2016 Highlights
- Generated Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $15.1 million, and Cash Flow Available for
Distribution and Reinvestment ("CAD" or "Cash Flow") of $22.6 million for the third quarter of
2016;
- Reported net income of $50.2 million for the third quarter of 2016;
- Paid a third quarter 2016 cash distribution of $0.36 per share in October 2016, bringing cumulative distributions paid to $14.2752 per share
since CODI's IPO in May of 2006;
- Completed the accretive platform acquisition of 5.11 Tactical® "(5.11)";
- Sold a total of 3,500,000 shares of Fox Factory Holding Corp. ("FOX") common stock, with total net proceeds of
approximately $63.0 million while retaining approximately 23% ownership of FOX; and
- Consummated the sale of its majority owned subsidiary, Anodyne Medical Device, Inc., also doing business and known as
Tridien Medical, to Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc.
"During the third quarter, we continued to generate consistent free cash flow across both our niche industrial and our branded
consumer businesses," stated Alan Offenberg, CEO of Compass Diversified Holdings. "In particular,
our ERGObaby, Manitoba Harvest and Sterno Products subsidiaries each reported year-over-year, double-digit EBITDA growth aided by
our recent add-on acquisitions."
Mr. Offenberg added, "We continued to capitalize on market opportunities with the accretive, platform acquisition of 5.11,
whose market leadership, broad customer base, proven management team and compelling growth opportunities represent a strong
addition to our family of leading middle market businesses. Complementing this, we completed the sale of Tridien Medical and
realized $63.0 million in proceeds from partially monetizing our interest in FOX, increasing the
gains we have realized for shareholders to over $625 million. We intend to continue capitalizing on
our strong balance sheet and considerable liquidity position to pursue attractive platform and add-on transactions that we
believe will create long-term shareholder value and support our ability to provide stable cash distributions."
Operating Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, CODI generated Cash Provided by Operating Activities
of $15.1 million, as compared to Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $14.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. CODI reported Cash Flow
(see Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below) of $22.6 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $23.8 million for the prior
year's comparable quarter. CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding for each of the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was 54.3 million,
respectively.
Cash Flow for the third quarter of 2016 reflects year-over-year earnings growth in the Company's Sterno Products, ERGObaby and
Manitoba Harvest businesses, offset by declines at the Company's other businesses.
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 $625 million since going public in 2006.
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $50.2
million, as compared to net income of $166.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. During the third quarter of 2016 and 2015, CODI's equity method investment in FOX increased
$50.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively. During the third
quarter of 2015, CODI realized a net gain of $151.0 million on the sales of its AFM and CamelBak
businesses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2016, CODI had approximately $26.4 million in
cash and cash equivalents, $567.1 million outstanding on its term loan facility and $167.0 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company has no significant debt
maturities until 2019 and had net borrowing availability of $377.9 million at September 30, 2016 under its revolving credit facility. In addition, the Company's equity investment in its
former subsidiary FOX is valued at $197.7 million at September 30,
2016.
Third Quarter 2016 Distribution
On October 6, 2016, CODI's Board of Directors declared a third quarter distribution of
$0.36 per share. The cash distribution was paid on October 27, 2016
to all holders of record as of October 20, 2016. Since its IPO in May of 2006, CODI has paid
a cumulative distribution of $14.2752 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.
