WESTPORT, Conn., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compass Diversified Holdings (Nasdaq: CODI) ("CODI" or the "Company"), a leading acquirer and manager of middle market businesses, announced today its consolidated operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Third Quarter 2009 Highlights

  • Generated Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment ("Cash Flow" or "CAD") of $11.7 million for the third quarter of 2009;

  • Reported net income of $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2009; and

  • Paid third quarter 2009 cash distribution of $0.34 per share, bringing cumulative distributions paid to $4.2952 per share since CODI's IPO in May of 2006

CODI reported Cash Flow (see note regarding use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below) of $11.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $15.7 million for the prior year period. CODI's Cash Flow decline for the third quarter compared to the prior year quarter was largely attributable to the negative impact of the economy on the Company's Staffmark subsidiary. CODI's weighted average number of shares for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 was approximately 36.6 million.

Cash Flow for the third quarter of 2009 was an improvement over the $7.8 million of Cash Flow reported for the second quarter of 2009. This improvement was due to the impact of a variety of cost containment measures across CODI's subsidiaries, as well as both strengthening revenue trends and the impact of seasonality at a number of the 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 subsidiary for the periods during which CODI owned them. However, Cash Flow excludes the gains from sales of businesses, which have totaled over $109 million since CODI's initial public offering.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $2.8 million, as compared to net income of $6.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

As of September 30, 2009, CODI had $47.0 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand, $76.5 million outstanding on its term debt facility and $156 million of borrowing availability under its $340 million revolving credit facility. The Company has no significant debt maturities until 2013.

On October 7, 2009, CODI's Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.34 per share. The distribution was paid on October 29, 2009 to all holders of record as of October 23, 2009.

Commenting on the quarter, Joe Massoud, CEO of Compass Diversified Holdings, said, "We are pleased with our third quarter performance. Our subsidiary management teams continue to do an excellent job of managing costs, while our strategy to use our leading market positions and balance sheet strength to increase relative market shares during this economic downturn has been successful at a number of our companies, yielding improved top-line metrics. These efforts not only contributed to our cash flow generation in the current period; more importantly, they position our companies to emerge from the current economic environment as even stronger participants in their respective market niches. Based on our improved prospects and our generation of Cash Flow thus far this year, we believe that we are well positioned to surpass our previously announced guidance for the full year 2009 and to achieve year over year growth in Cash Flow for 2010."

Mr. Massoud concluded, "In addition to this expectation for growth within our current family of businesses, management continues to aggressively pursue acquisitions of new platform businesses. With significant access to capital, we believe these opportunities are significant and attractive, although we remain committed to a disciplined approach to valuation and diligence."

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, with the first quarter typically being the slowest of the year. 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.
