WESTPORT, Conn., Dec. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner of leading middle-market branded consumer and industrial businesses, today announced the filing of its restated financial results for fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024 and the financial information for each of the interim periods included within those years.

“We are pleased to have completed this extensive restatement process. The financial and accounting fraud perpetrated by the former CEO of Lugano Holding, Inc. (“Lugano”) was pervasive, complex and isolated to Lugano. Our restatement is an important step in putting this chapter behind us,” said Elias Sabo, CEO of CODI. “We are focused on reducing our leverage and continuing to execute on the strategy that has made CODI successful since inception: managing and growing high-quality middle-market companies to generate durable, long-term value for our shareholders.”

“Importantly, our eight other subsidiaries were not involved with the events at Lugano and, collectively, continue to perform well. Their execution highlights the strength of these businesses and the resilience of our business model,” Sabo continued. “As a result, we are adjusting our full year 2025 guidance for Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA to between $330 million and $360 million, which is consistent with our prior guidance, when you exclude Lugano.”

Sabo added, “We are in active discussions with our senior lenders regarding an amendment to our credit agreement that would provide additional relief and flexibility with respect to our current leverage profile and certain other covenants. We currently anticipate announcing an amendment in the coming weeks.”

In the coming weeks CODI also expects to file 2025 first, second and third quarter financial results on Form 10-Q, which will bring the Company back into compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s annual and quarterly filing requirements.

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 Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations on the attached schedules. We consider Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations 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 Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, 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. 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.
