Analysis · CODI · Manufacturing
Compass Diversified has amended its senior credit facility, pushing the maturity of its term loan and revolving commitments out to January 2028. The revolving commitment was cut from $100 million to $54 million, and the incremental delayed draw term loan facility was removed entirely. The amendment imposes a new leverage ratio step-down schedule, starting at 5.75x for Q3 2026 and tightening to 4.50x by mid-2027. A $4 million milestone fee kicks in if the term loans aren't repaid by year-end 2026. These changes come just days after CODI reported Q2 results that included a $58 million Lugano receivable write-down and a $20.5 million goodwill impairment, and against the backdrop of activist ADW Capital demanding a strategic review and liquidation. The amendment buys time but at the cost of tighter covenants and a smaller liquidity cushion — a clear signal that lenders are demanding a faster deleveraging path.
