Compass Diversified Holdings reported sales last year grew in the double digits at all three of its outdoor sporting goods companies, which include CamelBak, Fox Factory and Liberty Safe.


CamelBak generated net sales of approximately $157.6 million in the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, up $16.3 million, or 11.5 percent from 2011 pro forma results. CODI acquired Camelbak in August, 2011. EBIDTA rose 28.2 percent to $40.0 million on a pro forma basis. The company ended the year with $23.7 million in accounts receivable, up 38.3 percent.


CamelBak, which designs, manufactures and distributes bottles and other hydration products to the outdoor recreation and military markets, ended the year with total assets of $259.1 million, down slightly from a year earlier. CamelBak estimates it is the market leader in hands free hydration and reusable bottle sales in the U.S. recreational market with 80-85 percent and 30 percent of sales respectively. It also claims to account for 85 percent of post-issue sales of hydration packs to U.S. Special Forces and other war fighters.
