Compass Diversified Holdings Provides Guidance for Second Quarter
and Full Year 2009

Distributions Expected to Remain at Same Level

Westport, Conn., June 3, 2009 — Compass Diversified Holdings (Nasdaq: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner and acquirer of leading middle market businesses, announced today that it expects to earn from $3.5 million to $5.0 million in Cash Available for Distribution and Reinvestment (“Cash Flow” or “CAD”) for the second quarter of 2009 and from $21.0 million to $24.5 million for the full year 2009.

Jim Bottiglieri, the CFO of Compass Diversified Holdings, stated, “Our decision to provide guidance for 2009 is a result of the stabilization we are now seeing in our subsidiary businesses. Notably, our CAD expectations assume no significant recovery in the current economic environment, as well as no additional acquisitions of new platform subsidiaries or ‘add-on’ acquisitions to existing subsidiaries. We expect any such acquisitions to be accretive to our CAD. Finally, independent of any new acquisitions or significant recovery in the economy, based on actions already taken by our subsidiary management teams, our current forecast is for growth in CAD in 2010 as compared to 2009.”

Joe Massoud, the CEO of Compass Diversified Holdings, continued, “As discussed on our last conference call, as a result of the Company’s current and historic generation of cash flow, as well as our over $109 million in realized gains on monetizations since our initial public offering, we are confident in our ability to pay distributions to shareholders at current levels for the foreseeable future. CODI's financial liquidity is also an advantage for us, with approximately $50 million in net debt and no material maturities until 2013. Much of this balance sheet strength can be attributed to our decision in early 2008 to sell two of our subsidiaries into a robust market for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses. We used the proceeds of those sales to repay debt and retain cash, thereby positioning the Company to redeploy this capital in a more buyer-friendly environment. Accordingly, we can now pursue acquisition opportunities at a time when other acquirers are hampered by the current credit markets.”
