Compass Diversified Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Completes Three Accretive Add-On Acquisitions During the Quarter and Announces Agreement to Acquire 5.11 Tactical® Subsequent to Quarter End
WESTPORT, Conn., Aug. 3, 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 June 30, 2016.
Second Quarter 2016 Highlights
- Generated Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $39.5 million, and Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment ("CAD" or "Cash Flow") of $15.6 million for the second quarter of 2016;
- Reported net income of $19.4 million for the second quarter of 2016;
- Paid a second quarter 2016 cash distribution of $0.36 per share in July 2016, bringing cumulative distributions paid to $13.9152 per share since CODI's IPO in May of 2006;
- Completed the accretive add-on acquisition of Phoenix Soil, LLC ("Phoenix Soil") by CODI's subsidiary Clean Earth, Inc. ("Clean Earth");
- Consummated an accretive add-on acquisition of New Baby Tula LLC ("Baby Tula") by the Company's subsidiary The ERGObaby Carrier, Inc. ("ERGObaby");
- Completed the accretive add-on acquisition of EWS Alabama, Inc. ("EWS") by CODI's subsidiary Clean Earth; and
- Subsequent to quarter end, announced an agreement to acquire 5.11 Tactical® "(5.11)".
"Our leading middle market businesses generated stable operating results that were consistent with management's expectations for the second quarter," stated Alan Offenberg, CEO of Compass Diversified Holdings. "These results reflect strong performances from our Arnold Magnetic, Clean Earth and Sterno Products subsidiaries, with each reporting year-over-year, double-digit EBITDA increases."
Mr. Offenberg added, "During the second quarter, we continued to reinvest in the growth of our subsidiaries by completing two accretive acquisitions for our subsidiary Clean Earth and another for our subsidiary ERGObaby. Adding these attractive businesses will expand these companies' customer bases, broaden their respective geographies and enhance their growth potential. Following the quarter end, we continued to take advantage of market opportunities by entering into an agreement to acquire 5.11 Tactical, a global leader of tactical apparel and gear. The acquisition is expected to provide thirty to thirty-five cents per share of cash flow accretion to CODI on an annualized basis. We welcome this opportunity to serve law enforcement, first responders as well as military personnel, and are excited to work with 5.11 as it expands its consumer penetration globally. Looking forward, we will continue to focus on using CODI's strong balance sheet and considerable financial flexibility to pursue both attractive platform and add-on acquisitions that create long-term shareholder value."
Operating Results
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, CODI generated Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $39.5 million, as compared to Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $29.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. CODI reported Cash Flow (see Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below) of $15.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $27.0 million for the prior year's comparable quarter. The decrease in Cash Flow over the prior year was primarily a result of the sale of CamelBak in August 2015. CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding for both the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were 54.3 million, respectively.
Cash Flow for the second quarter of 2016 reflects year-over-year earnings growth in the Company's Arnold Magnetic, Clean Earth, Sterno Products and ERGObaby businesses, partially offset by a decline at the Company's Advanced Circuits business.
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 $520 million since going public in 2006.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $19.4 million, as compared to net income of $26.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. During the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, CODI's equity method investment in FOX increased $18.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2016, CODI had approximately $21.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $318.5 million outstanding on its term loan facility and $78 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company has no significant debt maturities until 2019 and had net borrowing availability of $318.2 million at June 30, 2016 under its revolving credit facility. In addition, the Company's equity investment in its former subsidiary FOX is valued at $210.3 million at June 30, 2016.
In connection with the expected closing of 5.11 during the third quarter of 2016, the Company anticipates funding the acquisition using its revolving credit facility as well as exercising an accordion feature on its existing credit facility.
Second Quarter 2016 Distribution
On July 7, 2016, CODI's Board of Directors declared a second quarter distribution of $0.36 per share. The cash distribution was paid on July 28, 2016 to all holders of record as of July 21, 2016. Since its IPO in May of 2006, CODI has paid a cumulative distribution of $13.9152 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.
