The Compass Diversified (CODI) Securities Class Action
The complaint contends that Compass made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose critical information regarding Lugano, which operates in the branded consumer goods sector. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that Lugano maintained undisclosed financing arrangements and exhibited irregularities in its sales, cost of sales, inventory, and accounts receivable.
These alleged irregularities, according to the complaint, rendered Compass Diversified's 2024 financial statements unreliable, necessitating a restatement. Furthermore, the suit alleges that Compass's internal controls over financial reporting were inadequate, contrary to previous representations.
The truth, the lawsuit claims, came to light on May 7, 2025, after the close of trading. Compass issued a regulatory filing (Form 8-K) accompanied by a press release titled "Compass Diversified Discloses Non-Reliance on Financial Statements for Fiscal 2024 Amid an Ongoing Internal Investigation into its Subsidiary, Lugano Holding, Inc." In this release, Compass disclosed that it had "preliminarily identified irregularities in Lugano's non-CODI financing, accounting, and inventory practices." The company further stated that its audit committee had concluded that the previously issued 2024 financial statements required restatement and should no longer be relied upon.
