  • Completed an offering of 4,600,000 shares of 7.875% Series C Preferred Shares;
  • Paid off the remaining $298.8 million of Term Loans;
  • Paid a fourth quarter 2019 cash distribution of $0.36 per share on CODI's common shares in January 2020, bringing cumulative distributions paid to $18.9552 per common share since CODI's IPO in May of 2006; and
  • Paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.453125 per share on the Company's 7.250% Series A Preferred Shares, $0.4921875 per share on the Company's 7.875% Series B Preferred Shares, and $0.38281 per share on the Company's 7.875% Series C Preferred Shares in January 2020.

"Our success in 2019, both in strengthening our diversified group of leading middle market businesses and unlocking significant value for shareholders, underscores the benefits of CODI's permanent capital structure as well as our team's deep expertise investing across the niche industrial and branded consumer sectors," said Elias Sabo, CEO of Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC. "During the year, we generated strong cash flow and the highest full year CAD since going public and achieved fourth quarter revenue and EBITDA growth that exceeded expectations. Notably, we have begun to realize accelerated value creation from investments in our subsidiaries, highlighted by 5.11's second consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth and fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit EBITDA growth."

Mr. Sabo continued, "We are pleased to have opportunistically monetized our investments in Clean Earth and Manitoba Harvest at attractive valuations in 2019, enabling us to realize gains in excess of $300 million and increase total gains to over $1 billion since our IPO. Importantly, we redeployed the proceeds from these two divestitures to pay down debt, enabling CODI to have more capital resources available than ever before and significant flexibility from having leverage below our target level at only 1.5 times. We expect our strong balance sheet to serve CODI well as we pursue accretive platform and add-on acquisitions consistent with our disciplined and proven approach to acquiring, managing and opportunistically divesting leading middle market businesses. Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to continue creating long-term shareholder value as we execute on our strategy to work closely with our best in class management teams, invest in our subsidiaries, return substantial capital with our $1.44 per common share annual distribution and further enhance our commitment to ESG initiatives across our portfolio."

Operating Results

Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 were $387.0 million, as compared to $370.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Net sales were $1.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $1.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 do not include net sales attributable to Ravin prior to CODI's ownership.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $5.4 million, as compared to net loss of $6.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, CODI reported net income of $307.1 million, which included $331.0 million in gains from sales of Clean Earth and Manitoba Harvest. This compared to a net loss of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA (see "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $61.7 million, as compared to $56.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $226.1 million, as compared to $202.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2018 does not include the results of Ravin prior to CODI's ownership.

CODI reported CAD (see "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) of $30.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $22.9 million for the prior year's comparable quarter. CAD for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $104.0 million, as compared to $93.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. CODI's CAD is calculated after taking into account all interest expenses, cash taxes paid, preferred distributions and maintenance capital expenditures, and includes the operating results of each of our businesses for the periods during which CODI owned them. However, CAD excludes the gains from monetizing interests in CODI's subsidiaries, which have totaled over $1 billion since going public in 2006. The increase in CAD over the prior year's quarter is primarily the result of 5.11's improved operating performance and lower interest expense and management fees, offset by the loss of cash flow from our two divestitures in the first half of 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, CODI reported Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $53.0 million, as compared to Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $55.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were 59.9 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, CODI generated Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $84.6 million, as compared to Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $114.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. CODI's weighted average number of shares outstanding for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were 59.9 million.

As of December 31, 2019, CODI had approximately $100.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, $400.0 million outstanding in 8.00% Senior Notes due 2026 and no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company repaid $193.8 million of its 2018 Term Loan in July 2019, and repaid the remaining $298.8 million due under the 2018 Term Loan in November 2019.

The Company has no significant debt maturities until 2026 and had net borrowing availability of $596.4 million at December 31, 2019 under its revolving credit facility.

In November 2019, the Company completed an offering of 4,000,000 shares of 7.875% Series C Cumulative Preferred Shares (the "Series C Preferred Shares") with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 600,000 Series C Preferred Shares, which resulted in total proceeds to the Company of $111.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering, together with its own cash, to repay in full the outstanding balance of its 2018 Term Loan, and for general corporate purposes.

Concurrent with the June 2019 sale of Clean Earth, Compass Group Management volunteered to waive the management fee on cash balances held at CODI, commencing with the management fee due for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and continuing until the quarter during which the Company next borrows under its revolving credit facility.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Distributions

On January 6, 2020, CODI's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a fourth quarter distribution of $0.36 per share on the Company's common shares. The cash distribution was paid on January 23, 2020 to all holders of record of common shares as of January 16, 2020. Since its IPO in 2006, CODI has paid a cumulative distribution of $18.9552 per common share.

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, October 30, 2019, up to, but excluding, January 30, 2020. The distribution for such period was paid on January 30, 2020 to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares as of January 15, 2020.

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, October 30, 2019, up to, but excluding, January 30, 2020. The distribution for such period was paid on January 30, 2020 to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Shares as of January 15, 2020.

The Board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.38281 per share on the Company's 7.875% Series C Preferred Shares. The distribution on the Series C Preferred Shares covers the period from, and including, November 20, 2019, the original issue date of the Series C Preferred Shares, up to, but excluding, January 30, 2020. The distribution for such period was paid on January 30, 2020 to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of January 15, 2020.

2020 Guidance

The Company expects its current subsidiaries to produce consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in 2020 of between $238 million and $258 million.  This estimate is based on the summation of our expectations for our current subsidiaries in 2020, absent additional acquisitions or divestitures, and excludes corporate expense such as interest expense, management fees and corporate overhead.  In addition, our Payout Ratio, defined as our prior year's annual distribution to common shareholders divided by our 2020 estimate for CAD, is anticipated to be between 80% and 90%.  These estimates assume an economic growth rate in 2020 that is similar to the growth rate experienced in 2019, and does not take into account potential disruption from the coronavirus.  As discussed below, it is not possible to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for 2020 or our 2020 Payout Ratio due to an inability to identify the timing or occurrence of events and transactions that could significantly impact future GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Cash Flow from Operating Activities if they were to occur.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by the Company to assess its performance.  We have reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) on the attached schedules. We consider Net Income (Loss) to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA 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), Adjusted EBITDA is limited in that it does 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. This presentation also 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. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is also useful in measuring our ability to service debt and other payment obligations.

CAD is a non-GAAP measure used by the Company to assess its performance, as well as its ability to sustain quarterly distributions.  We have reconciled CAD to Net Income (Loss) and Cash Flow from Operating Activities on the attached schedules. We consider Net Income (Loss) and Cash Flow from Operating Activities to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to CAD.

CAD 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.  We believe that CAD provides investors additional information to enable them to evaluate our performance and ability to make anticipated quarterly distributions.

Payout Ratio is a non-GAAP measure defined as our prior year's annual distribution to common shareholders divided by our CAD.  We believe the Payout Ratio provides investors additional information to enable them to evaluate our performance and our ability to sustain quarterly distributions.  We have reconciled CAD to Net Income (Loss) and Cash Flow from Operating Activities on the attached schedules. We consider Net Income (Loss) and Cash Flow from Operating Activities to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to CAD.  However, we do not provide a reconciliation of the Payout Ratio since it is a calculation investors can perform by dividing our distribution by our CAD.

In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA or the Payout Ratio to their comparable GAAP measures because we do not provide guidance on the applicable reconciling items as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these items. The actual amount of such reconciling items will have a significant impact on our Adjusted EBITDA and the Payout Ratio and, accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

None of Adjusted EBITDA, CAD nor Payout Ratio is 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.
