Compass Diversified Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

WESTPORT, Conn., Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced today its consolidated operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period.

“In the second quarter, our subsidiaries delivered strong operating performance and cash flow,” said Elias Sabo, Chief Executive Officer of Compass Diversified. “We took concrete actions to strengthen our balance sheet, including selling Sterno’s Food Service Business at an attractive valuation and applying more than $280 million of proceeds to debt reduction. We also amended our Management Services Agreement to lower expected fees and increase alignment with shareholders by tying more of the Manager’s compensation to shareholder returns and operating performance.”

“Our performance was broad-based, with Adjusted EBITDA growth across our Branded Consumer businesses and at Arnold,” added Zach Sawtelle, Chief Operating Officer of Compass Diversified. “BOA, PrimaLoft and The Honey Pot were each up more than 25% year-over-year, and Arnold was a standout, up nearly 50%. 5.11 expanded margins despite a softer top line.”

Sawtelle continued, “Our work is not done. Our shares trade at what we believe is a meaningful discount to intrinsic value, and we remain focused on closing that gap. Our near-term priorities are straightforward: drive profitable growth, pursue divestitures where we can realize attractive value, further reduce debt and, when appropriate, efficiently return capital to shareholders. We are moving with urgency and discipline to realize value for shareholders.”

Financial Summary – GAAP Results

Year-over-year GAAP comparisons reflect the operating results of Lugano and a full quarter of Sterno’s Food Service Business in the 2025 period, versus the 2026 period, which excludes Lugano's operating results (following its deconsolidation in connection with its bankruptcy proceedings) and includes the Food Service Business through its May 1 sale date.

Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025 (GAAP)

  • Net revenues were $424.0 million, down 11.4% vs Q2 2025
  • Net income from continuing operations: $81.9 million vs net loss from continuing operations of $80.8 million in Q2 2025
  • Net income attributable to Holdings: $81.1 million, or $0.86 per common share, vs. a net loss of $51.2 million, or $(0.88) per common share
  • Cash provided by operating activities: $29.7 million, vs. cash used of $35.2 million
  • Q2 2026 results included a $182.3 million gain on the sale of Sterno’s Food Service Business and a $58.0 million reduction in the fair value of CODI’s receivable from Lugano.

Financial Summary – Non-GAAP Results

To facilitate comparison of CODI’s continuing subsidiaries, the following non-GAAP results exclude Lugano from the prior-year period and exclude net sales and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the divested Sterno Food Service Business from both current and prior-year periods.

Rimports and the Food Service Business historically operated and were reported together as Sterno Group under a shared management structure. Following the sale, certain shared management and other indirect costs remained with Rimports. To provide a comparable view of the continuing business, the non-GAAP results exclude the Food Service Business’s net sales and Adjusted EBITDA and reflect the costs retained by Rimports on a consistent basis in both periods.

Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025 (Non-GAAP)

  • Net revenues were $410.6 million, approximately flat vs. Q2 2025
    • Branded Consumer:         $270.8 million, up 7.2%
    • Industrial:         $139.8 million, down 11.5%

  • Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA was $91.5 million, up 12.6% vs. Q2 2025
    • Branded Consumer: $69.3 million, up 24.2%
    • Industrial: $22.3 million, down 12.8%

Key Business Updates

During and subsequent to the quarter, CODI:

  • Completed the sale of Sterno’s Food Service Business and applied more than $280 million of the proceeds to senior secured term loan debt.
  • Amended its Management Services Agreement to reduce expected management fees beginning in 2027 and further strengthen shareholder alignment.
  • Amended its senior credit facility to extend the maturity of its term loan and revolving commitments, providing financial flexibility.
  • Announced a settlement to facilitate the orderly liquidation of Lugano’s assets.
  • Announced that Elias Sabo will retire as Chief Executive Officer on December 31, 2026, and appointed Zach Sawtelle Chief Operating Officer and named him CEO successor.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2026, CODI had approximately $87.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $97 million in revolver availability. Total debt was $1,592.3 million, compared with $1,890.7 million as of December 31, 2025.

CODI’s leverage ratio for debt covenant purposes was approximately 4.8x as of June 30, 2026, down from 5.3x as of March 31, 2026, and senior secured net leverage was 0.66x as of June 30.

Subsequent to quarter-end, CODI amended its senior credit facility to extend all outstanding term loan borrowings and its revolving commitments to January 12, 2028, and to reduce aggregate revolving commitments from $100.0 million to $54.0 million.

2026 Outlook

CODI is maintaining its fiscal 2026 total Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA outlook of $320 million to $365 million.

The outlook includes approximately $9 million of Adjusted EBITDA generated by the Sterno Food Service Business through its May 1, 2026 sale date. That contribution will be reflected in CODI’s reported full-year results but will not recur following the sale.

CODI’s outlook reflects higher expectations for the Branded Consumer businesses and lower expectations for the Industrial businesses relative to prior guidance.

    2026 Outlook
    Low   High
    (in millions)
Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA        
Branded Consumer   $ 235.0   $ 270.0
Industrial   $ 85.0   $ 95.0
Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA   $ 320.0   $ 365.0
             

In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, CODI has not reconciled 2026 Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA to its comparable GAAP measure because it does not provide guidance on Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations and because management cannot predict, with sufficient certainty, all of the inputs necessary to provide such a reconciliation. For the same reasons, CODI is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Conference Call

In conjunction with this announcement, CODI will host a conference call on August 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Elias Sabo, Chief Operating Officer, Zach Sawtelle and Chief Financial Officer, Stephen Keller. A live webcast of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of CODI’s website. To avoid delays, we encourage participants to log into the webcast 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled start time. A replay of the webcast will also be available for a limited time on the Company’s website.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings (Loss), Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA, Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA excluding Lugano and the divested Sterno Food Service Business, Net Sales excluding Lugano, and Net Sales excluding Lugano and the divested Sterno Food Service Business are non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to assess its performance. We have reconciled Adjusted EBITDA, Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA and Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA excluding Lugano and the divested Sterno Food Service Business to Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) to Net Income (Loss), and non-GAAP Net Sales measures to Net Sales on the attached schedules. We consider Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA, Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA, and Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA excluding Lugano and the divested Sterno Food Service Business; Net Income (Loss) to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted Earnings (Loss); and Net Sales to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP Net Sales measures. The attached schedules should be read together as continuous reconciliations of the applicable non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) provide useful information to investors and reflect important financial measures, as each excludes the effects of items that 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 (Loss) 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, non-cash charges associated with impairments and 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 (Loss) provides additional insight into our operating results.

As used in the body of this press release, Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA refers to the sum of Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable period attributable to each consolidated subsidiary of the Company, disregarding corporate expense, unless the context indicates otherwise. Management uses Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of the subsidiary portfolio before corporate expense. Because the measure excludes corporate expense, it does not reflect CODI’s consolidated operating results and should be considered together with the comparable GAAP measure and the other information in this release.

Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Lugano and the divested Sterno Food Service Business, represents Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA after excluding Adjusted EBITDA (loss) attributable to Lugano and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the divested Sterno Food Service Business. Net Sales excluding Lugano represents reported Net Sales after excluding Net Sales attributable to Lugano for the applicable periods. Net Sales excluding Lugano and the divested Sterno Food Service Business represent reported Net Sales after excluding Net Sales attributable to those businesses for the applicable periods. We believe these measures facilitate comparison of the operating performance and net sales of CODI’s continuing subsidiaries across periods.

Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the divested Sterno Food Service Business is calculated from Rimports’ reported results by identifying the net sales and directly attributable expenses of the Food Service Business and applying CODI’s Adjusted EBITDA methodology. Rimports and the Food Service Business historically operated and were reported together as Sterno Group under a shared management structure. Following the sale, certain shared management and other indirect costs remained with Rimports. Those costs remain in Rimports' results for all periods presented. Therefore, the exclusion of the Food Service Business does not eliminate all costs historically shared by the combined operations.

In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not reconciled our 2026 Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because certain components of Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, including potential impairment charges, acquisition- and disposition-related gains, losses and expenses, fair-value adjustments and related income-tax effects, cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort. These items could be material to our future results.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and may differ from, or otherwise be inconsistent with, similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
