Compass Diversified Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Westport, Conn., August 10, 2026 – 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

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.
