• Q4 and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

  Reported a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $79.4 million for Q4 2025 and $296.6 million for the full year 2025.

• 2026 Financial Guidance Issued

  Provided fiscal 2026 guidance for Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $345.0 million to $395.0 million, offering a forward-looking outlook for the company's core operations.

• Amended Credit Facility Secured

  Announced an amended credit facility that restores full access to $100 million of revolver capacity and provides additional covenant flexibility, significantly improving liquidity and financial compliance.

• Lugano Deconsolidation Impact

  GAAP results include a $111.9 million loss on the deconsolidation of Lugano Holding, Inc. on November 16, 2025, marking a significant one-time impact but removing the ongoing drag from the subsidiary's bankruptcy.

This filing is highly significant for Compass Diversified Holdings, providing crucial financial updates and a path forward after a period of considerable distress, including a going concern disclosure and NYSE non-compliance. While GAAP results show a substantial net loss for Q4 and full-year 2025, largely due to the $111.9 million loss on deconsolidation of Lugano, the performance of the remaining subsidiaries (excluding Lugano) shows resilience, with full-year 2025 Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA up 8.8%. The provision of 2026 guidance for Subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA ($345M-$395M) offers much-needed clarity and a forward-looking perspective, which is vital for rebuilding investor confidence. Critically, the announcement of an amended credit facility, restoring $100 million in revolver capacity and providing covenant flexibility, directly addresses prior liquidity and compliance concerns. This move significantly de-risks the company's financial position and provides a stronger foundation, especially in light of the recent activist investor demands for a strategic review.
