1.Basis of Presentation and Business
Nature of Operations: The operations of Champion Homes, Inc., formerly known as Skyline Champion Corporation (the “Company”), consist of manufacturing, retail, construction services, and transportation activities. At December 28, 2024, the Company operated 43 manufacturing facilities throughout the United States (“U.S.”) and 5 manufacturing facilities in western Canada that primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed manufactured and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers, builders/developers, and manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 72 sales centers that sell manufactured houses to consumers across the U.S. The Company's construction services business provides installation and set-up services of factory-built homes. The Company’s transportation business engages independent owners/drivers to transport recreational vehicles throughout the U.S. and Canada and manufactured houses in certain regions of the U.S.
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. In the opinion of management, these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date of the filing of this report with the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024 (the “Fiscal 2024 Annual Report”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated income statements, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for the full year.
The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest to March 31. The Company’s current fiscal year, “fiscal 2025,” will end on March 29, 2025 and will include 52 weeks. References to “fiscal 2024” refer to the Company’s fiscal year ended March 30, 2024. The three and nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 each included 13 weeks and 39 weeks, respectively.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost reflects management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience, as well as current economic conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as changes to expected credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. Accounts receivable are reflected net of reserves of $2.1 million and $1.9 million at December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively.
Floor plan receivables consist primarily of amounts loaned by the Company through Triad Financial Services, Inc. ("Triad") to certain independent retailers for purchases of homes manufactured by the Company, of which $32.2 million and $18.1 million was outstanding at December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively. Floor plan receivables are carried net of payments received and recorded at amortized cost. The Company intends to hold the floor plan receivables until maturity or payoff. These loans are serviced by Triad, to which we pay a servicing fee. Upon execution of the financing arrangement, the floor plan loans are generally payable at the earlier of the sale of the underlying home or two years from the origination date. Floor plan receivables are included in other current assets and other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The floor plan receivables are collateralized by the related homes, mitigating loss exposure. The Company and Triad evaluate the credit worthiness of each independent retailer prior to credit approval, including reviewing the independent retailer’s payment history, financial condition, and the overall economic environment. The Company evaluates the risk of credit loss in aggregate on existing loans with similar terms, based on historic experience and current economic conditions, as well as individual retailers with past due balances or other indications of heightened credit risk. The allowance for credit losses related to floor plan receivables was not material as of December 28, 2024 or March 30, 2024. Loans are considered past due if any required interest or curtailment payment remains unpaid 30 days after the due date. Receivables are placed on non-performing status if any interest or installment payments are past due over 90 days. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when interest payments are past due over 90 days. At December 28, 2024, there were no floor plan receivables on nonaccrual status and the weighted-average age of the floor plan receivables was six months.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
Interest income from floor plan receivables is recognized on an accrual basis and is included in interest income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Interest income from floor plan receivables for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Interest income from floor plan receivables for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was $1.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements: In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 (fiscal 2025). We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (fiscal 2026). We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which expands disclosures about a public entity's specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 (fiscal 2028). We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
2.Business Combinations
Regional Homes Acquisition
On October 13, 2023, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Regional Enterprises, LLC and related companies (collectively, "Regional Homes") for total purchase consideration of $316.9 million, net of assumed indebtedness and working capital adjustments. The purchase consideration consisted of net cash of $279.5 million, the issuance of 455,098 shares of common stock equal to approximately $27.9 million, and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $5.9 million. The contingent consideration is related to an earnout provision in the event certain conditions are met per the terms of the purchase agreement, with a maximum earnout amount of $25.0 million. The initial fair value of the earnout was established using a Monte Carlo simulation method and the resulting liability is recorded in other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the method and timing of measuring the earnout was amended, which resulted in a charge of $7.9 million which is reflected in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting provided by FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). As such, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired, inclusive of intangible assets, with the excess fair value recorded to goodwill.

Total purchase price
Trade accounts receivable, other assets, floor plan and accounts payable, long-term debt and other liabilities are generally stated at historical carrying values as they approximate fair value. Retail inventories are reflected at manufacturer wholesale prices. Intangible assets include $16.9 million in customer relationships and $24.9 million in trade names and are based on an independent appraisal. The fair value of customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and fair value of the trade name was determined using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company estimated that each intangible asset has a weighted average useful life of ten years from the acquisition date. Fair value estimates of property, plant, and equipment were based on independent appraisals, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the appraisals were drawn from a combination of market, cost, and sales comparison approaches, as appropriate. Level 3 fair value estimates of $86.2 million related to property, plant, and equipment and $41.8 million related to intangible assets were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date. For further information on acquired assets measured at fair value, see Note 5, Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Cloud Computing Arrangements.
The acquisition of Regional Homes was a taxable business combination. Therefore, the Company’s tax basis in the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed approximate the respective fair values at the acquisition date.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of the operating results for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, as if the acquisition of Regional Homes had been completed on April 3, 2022, which is the beginning of the comparable reporting period from the acquisition date:

Depreciation is calculated primarily on a straight-line basis, generally over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements – 3 to 10 years; buildings and improvements – 8 to 25 years; and vehicles and machinery and equipment – 3 to 8 years. Depreciation expense for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was $7.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was $22.0 million and $16.2 million, respectively.

5.Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Cloud Computing Arrangements
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. At both December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the Company had goodwill of $358.0 million. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units included in the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment, which include the Company’s U.S. manufacturing and retail operations. At December 28, 2024, there were no accumulated impairment losses related to goodwill.

6. Investment in ECN Capital Corporation
In September 2023, the Company entered into a share subscription agreement with ECN Capital Corp. ("ECN") and made a $137.8 million equity investment in ECN on a private placement basis. The Company purchased 33.6 million common shares, representing approximately 12% of the total outstanding common shares of ECN, and 27.5 million mandatory convertible preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 4.0%. Following the private placement, the Company owns approximately 19.9% of the voting shares of ECN. In connection with the share subscription agreement, the Company and Triad formed Champion Financing LLC ("Champion Financing"), a captive finance company that is 51% owned by the Company and 49% owned by Triad. The results of Champion Financing are included in the consolidated results of the Company on a three-month lag. Triad's 49% ownership interest is reflected as non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.
The Company's interest in the common stock investment in ECN is accounted for under the equity method and the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of ECN are recorded on a three-month lag. For the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company's share of ECN's earnings was $0.7 million. For the nine months ended December 28, 2024, the Company's share of ECN's earnings was $0.1 million. For the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, the Company's share of ECN's losses was $0.2 million. Dividends received on the investment in common stock of ECN are reflected as a reduction to the investment balance and are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows using the nature of the distribution approach. At December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the investment in the common stock of ECN totaled $71.0 million and $71.9 million, respectively, and is included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate value of the Company’s investment in the common stock of ECN based on the quoted market price of ECN’s common stock at December 28, 2024 was approximately $73.0 million. We assess our investment in ECN common stock for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis or when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired.
The Company's investment in the Preferred Shares is included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment is measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value. At December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the investment in the Preferred Shares was $64.5 million. There have been no adjustments to the carrying amount or impairment of the investment. For the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024, the Company reflected dividend income from the investment in the Preferred Shares of $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in other income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. For the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, the Company reflected dividend income from the investment in the Preferred Shares of $0.6 million in other income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.
Triad, a related party through its parent ECN, provides loan servicing for the Company's floor plan receivables. The Company pays Triad a fee for servicing loans which was not material for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. Triad also provides floor plan financing of the Company's products to Company-owned and independent retailers. At December 28, 2024, the Company had floor plan payables due to Triad of $31.9 million. At December 28, 2024, the Company had repurchase commitments of $118.5 million on independent retailer floor plan loans outstanding with Triad.

Revolving credit facility maturing in 2026
Total long-term debt
On July 7, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million, including a $45.0 million letter of credit sub-facility ("Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Company's previously existing $100.0 million revolving credit facility. The Amended Credit Agreement allows the Company to draw down, repay and re-draw loans on the available funds during the term, subject to certain terms and conditions, matures in July 2026, and has no scheduled amortization.
On May 18, 2023, the Company further amended the Amended Credit Agreement, which removed references to the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") and clarified language pertaining to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") in regards to the interest rate on borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement is based on SOFR plus a SOFR adjustment, plus an interest rate spread. The interest rate spread adjusts based on the consolidated total net leverage of the Company from a high of 1.875% when the consolidated total net leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 2.25:1.00, to a low of 1.125% when the consolidated total net leverage ratio is below 0.50:1.00. Alternatively for same day borrowings, the interest rate is based on an Alternative Base Rate ("ABR") plus an interest rate spread that ranges from a high of 0.875% to a low of 0.125% based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay an unused line fee ranging between 0.15% and 0.3% depending on the consolidated total net leverage ratio, in respect of
11
unused commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. At December 28, 2024, the interest rate under the Amended Credit Agreement was 5.58% and letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Agreement totaled $31.5 million. Available borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 28, 2024 was $168.5 million.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains covenants that restrict the amount of additional debt, liens and certain payments, including equity buy-backs, investments, dispositions, mergers and consolidations, among other restrictions as defined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 28, 2024.
Obligations under industrial revenue bonds are supported by letters of credit and bear interest based on a municipal bond index rate. The weighted-average interest rate at December 28, 2024, including related costs and fees, was 5.27%. The industrial revenue bonds require lump-sum payments of principal upon maturity in 2029 and are secured by the assets of certain manufacturing facilities.
As part of the acquisition of Regional Homes, the Company assumed notes payable to Romeo Juliet, LLC, a subsidiary of Wells Fargo Community Investment Holdings, Inc. ("WFC"). The weighted-average interest rate on those notes at December 28, 2024 was 5.42%. The notes are secured by certain assets of Regional Homes. In addition, the Company assumed a note payable to United Bank with an interest rate of 3.85% that is secured by a note receivable from HHB Investment Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of WFC.
Floor Plan Payable
The Company’s retail operations utilize floor plan financing to fund the purchase of manufactured homes for display or resale. At December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding borrowings on floor plan financing agreements of $88.2 million and $91.3 million, respectively. Total credit line capacity provided under the agreements was $223.0 million as of December 28, 2024. The weighted average interest rate on the floor plan payable was 7.14% at December 28, 2024. Borrowings are secured by the homes and are required to be repaid when the Company sells the related home to a customer.

11.Income Taxes
For the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company recorded $16.7 million and $12.8 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 21.1% and 21.4%, respectively. For the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company recorded $45.8 million and $44.8 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 21.7% and 23.7% respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of state and local income taxes, non-deductible expenses, tax credits, and results in foreign jurisdictions.
At December 28, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.
12.Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share attributable to the Company was computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average outstanding common shares, including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method.

13.Segment Information
Financial results for the Company's reportable segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments primarily based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and operating assets.
The Company operates in two reportable segments: (i) U.S. Factory-built Housing, which includes manufacturing and retail housing operations and (ii) Canadian Factory-built Housing. Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation operations, the Company's financing activities, corporate costs directly incurred for all segments and intersegment eliminations. Segments are generally determined by geography. Segment data includes intersegment revenues and corporate office costs that are directly and exclusively incurred for each segment. Total assets for Corporate/Other primarily include cash and certain U.S. deferred tax items not specifically allocated to another segment.

14.Commitments, Contingencies, and Legal Proceedings
Repurchase Contingencies and Guarantees
The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to retailers. These arrangements, which are customary in the manufactured housing industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer on its agreement to pay the financial institution. The risk of loss from these agreements is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous retailers. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product less contractually defined curtailment payments. Based on these repurchase agreements and our historical loss experience, we established an associated loss reserve which was $1.7 million at December 28, 2024 and $1.8 million at March 30, 2024, respectively. Excluding the resale value of the homes, the contingent repurchase obligation as of December 28, 2024 was estimated to be $253.0 million. Losses incurred on homes repurchased were immaterial during the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023.
At December 28, 2024, the Company was contingently obligated for $31.5 million under letters of credit, consisting of $12.7 million to support long-term debt, $18.5 million to support the casualty insurance program, and $0.3 million to support bonding agreements. The letters of credit are issued from a sub-facility of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was also contingently obligated for $19.6 million under surety bonds, generally to support performance on long-term construction contracts and license and service bonding requirements.
In the normal course of business, the Company’s former subsidiaries that operated in the United Kingdom historically provided certain guarantees to two customers. Those guarantees provide contractual liability for proven construction defects up to 12 years from the date of delivery of certain products. The guarantees remain a contingent liability of the Company which declines over time through October 2027. As of the date of this report, the Company expects few, if any, claims to be reported under the terms of the guarantees.
Product Liability - Water Intrusion
The Company has received consumer complaints for damages related to water intrusion in homes built in one of its manufacturing facilities prior to fiscal 2022. The Company has investigated, and believes, the cause of the damage is the result of materials that did not perform in accordance with the manufacturer's contractual obligations. The Company has identified certain homes constructed over that period that may be affected. Based on the results of ongoing investigation and repair efforts, the Company has developed and HUD has approved a remediation plan under Subpart I of the HUD code. The plan calls for inspection and repair of affected homes if there is evidence of damage, or procedures to mitigate the opportunity for future damage. The Company recorded charges to execute the remediation plan of $34.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company estimated the charges by establishing a range of total expected costs determined by an actuary using a Monte Carlo simulation. The analysis resulted in a range of losses between $34.5 million and $85.0 million. The Company was not able to determine a value in the range that was more likely than any other value, and as prescribed by U.S. GAAP, recorded the charge for remediation based on the low end of the range of potential losses. The Company is monitoring the results of the inspection and repair activities, and may revise the amount of the estimated liability, which could result in an increase or decrease in the estimated liability in future periods. The liability, net of $0.1 million of remediation payments made during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Based on the Company's investigation into the cause of the water intrusion, including third-party testing of the material at issue, the Company believes it is possible that it will recover some or all of the estimated remediation costs. The Company will attempt to recover those costs from the manufacturer of the material, the distributor of the material, their related insurance providers or from the Company's insurance providers. However, the Company is unable to record an offset for any estimated costs at this time in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Legal Proceedings
The Company has agreed to indemnify counterparties in the ordinary course of its business in agreements to acquire and sell business assets and in financing arrangements. The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. As of the date of this filing, the Company believes the ultimate liability with respect to these contingent obligations will not have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 2.MANAGEMENT’ S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with Champion Homes, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear in Item 1 of this Report.
Overview
Champion Homes, Inc., formerly known as Skyline Champion Corporation (the “Company”), is a leading producer of factory-built housing in the U.S. and Canada. The Company serves as a complete solutions provider across complementary and vertically integrated businesses including factory-built home manufacturing, company-owned retail locations, construction services, and transportation logistics services. The Company markets its homes under several nationally recognized brand names including Champion Homes, Genesis Homes, Skyline Homes, Regional Homes, Athens Park Models, Dutch Housing, Atlantic Homes, Excel Homes, Homes of Merit, New Era, Redman Homes, ScotBilt Homes, Shore Park, Silvercrest, and Titan Homes in the U.S., and Moduline and SRI Homes in western Canada. The Company operates 43 manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. and five manufacturing facilities in western Canada that primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed, manufactured and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers, builders/developers, and manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 72 sales centers that sell manufactured homes to consumers across the U.S. The Company’s transportation business engages independent owners/drivers to transport manufactured homes, recreational vehicles, and other products throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Acquisitions and Expansions
The Company is focused on operational improvements to increase capacity utilization and profitability at its existing manufacturing facilities as well as measured expansion of its manufacturing and retail footprint through facility and equipment investments and acquisitions. Those investments will help improve the Company's ability to satisfy demand for affordable housing. During fiscal 2023, robust demand for housing began to slow as inflation and higher interest rates made housing less affordable. The current economic environment drives an even greater need for attainable housing solutions. As a result, the Company continues to focus on growing in strong housing markets across the U.S. and Canada, as well as expanding products and services to provide more holistic and affordable solutions to homebuyers.
In October 2023, the Company acquired Regional Homes, which operated three manufacturing facilities in Alabama and 44 retail sales centers across the Southeast U.S. Regional Home's strong presence in large HUD markets expanded our captive retail and manufacturing distribution in that region. In July 2022, the Company acquired 12 Factory Expo retail sales centers from Alta Cima Corporation, which expanded the internal retail network across a broader portion of the U.S. In May 2022, the Company acquired Manis Custom Builders, Inc. ("Manis") in order to expand its manufacturing footprint and further streamline its product offering in the Southeast U.S.
In addition to those acquisitions, the Company is also focused on enhancing its U.S. manufacturing production capacity through various plant start-ups in strategic locations. As a result, the Company began production in previously idled or acquired facilities in Decatur, Indiana and Bartow, Florida in fiscal 2024 and a facility in Pembroke, North Carolina in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company owns six idle manufacturing facilities that could be used for further manufacturing capacity expansion in future periods.
During fiscal 2024, the Company made an equity investment in ECN. The investment, in part, facilitated the creation of a captive finance company in partnership with Triad, a subsidiary of ECN. The captive finance company, Champion Financing, through Triad, provides factory-built home floor plan and consumer loans to manufactured home retailers and homebuyers. The Company believes this offering will provide customers needed financing solutions and improve the Company's market share.
The Company's acquisitions and investments are part of a strategy to grow and diversify revenue with a focus on increasing the Company’s homebuilding presence in the U.S. as well as improving the results of operations through streamlining production of similar product categories. These acquisitions and investments are included in the Company's consolidated results for periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates.
Industry and Company Outlook
The need for newly built affordable, single-family housing has continued to drive demand for new homes in the U.S. and Canadian markets. In recent years, manufactured home construction experienced revenue growth due to a number of favorable demographic trends and demand drivers in the United States, including underlying growth trends in key homebuyer groups, such as the population over 55 years of age, the population of first-time home buyers, and the population of households earning less than $60,000 per year.
Because of the need for affordable housing, the Company saw an increase in customer orders during the nine months ended December 28, 2024 versus the same period last year. As a result of the increased orders the Company's manufacturing backlog was $312.6 million as of December 28, 2024 compared to $290.4 million as of December 30, 2023.
For the nine months ended December 28, 2024, approximately 87% of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing sales were generated from the manufacture of homes that comply with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") code construction standard in the U.S. Industry shipments of HUD-code homes are reported on a one-month lag. According to data reported by the Manufactured Housing Institute, HUD-code industry home shipments were 71,968 and 61,622 units during the eight months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Based on industry data, the Company’s U.S. wholesale market share of HUD code homes sold was 22.2% and 18.9%, for the eight months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Annual HUD-code industry shipments have generally increased since calendar year 2009 when only 50,000 HUD-coded manufactured homes were shipped, the lowest level since the industry began recording statistics in 1959. While shipments of HUD-coded manufactured homes have improved modestly in recent years, current manufactured housing shipments are still at lower levels than the long-term historical average of over 200,000 units per year. Manufactured home sales represent approximately 9% of all U.S. single family home starts. Our market share in the U.S total housing market was approximately 2.5% and 2.1% for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively.

Net sales for the three months ended December 28, 2024 were $644.9 million, an increase of $85.5 million, or 15.3%, compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023. The following is a summary of the change by operating segment.
U.S. Factory-built Housing:
Net sales for the Company’s U.S. manufacturing and retail operations increased by $89.6 million, or 17.2%, for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023. The increase was due to a 14.1% increase in new homes sold and a 2.8% increase in the average selling price per new home. The increase in the number of homes sold was due to higher customer demand and production volumes compared to the prior year, as well as an additional 2 weeks of activity from Regional Homes in the current quarter. The increase in average selling price was due to the increase in the number of units sold through our company-owned retail sales centers. The mix of wholesale unit sales sold to independent channels versus homes sold through our company-owned retail sales centers impacts average selling price since we capture revenue from additional installation services for homes sold through internal channels.
Canadian Factory-built Housing:
The Canadian Factory-built Housing segment net sales decreased by $5.1 million, or 16.6% for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a 16.1% decrease in homes sold and a 0.6% decrease in average home selling price. The decrease in homes sold is due to slowing demand for housing in the Canadian market. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Canadian segment were favorably impacted by approximately $0.1 million due to fluctuations in the translation of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar during the three months ended December 28, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Corporate/Other:
Net sales for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation business, financing activities, and the elimination of intersegment sales. For the three months ended December 28, 2024, net sales increased $0.9 million, or 12.6%, primarily attributable to revenue generated from Champion Financing, partially offset by lower recreational vehicle shipments from the Company's transportation business.

Gross profit for the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment increased by $39.5 million, or 30.8%, during the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit was 27.4% as a percent of segment net sales for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to 24.6% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit as a percent of segment net sales is being driven by higher average selling prices on new homes sold through our Company-owned retail sales centers, which also generated a greater percentage of total segment revenue than the prior year as well as lower input costs and synergies realized from the acquisition of Regional Homes.
Gross profit for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment decreased by $2.3 million, or 25.2%, during the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to lower sales volumes and average selling prices caused by slowing demand. Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 26.4% for the three months ended December 28, 2024, compared to 29.4% in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to less absorption of fixed costs due to lower sales volumes.
Gross profit for the Corporate/Other segment increased $2.6 million, or 62.0%, during the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to the inclusion of Champion Financing.

SG&A, as a percent of segment net sales increased to 13.1% for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to 12.5% during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in SG&A as a percent of segment sales was due to higher sales volumes through our Company-owned retail sales centers which incur a higher percent of SG&A than wholesale sales to independent retailers. Additionally, we incurred higher incentive compensation during the period, which is generally based on sales volume or a measure of profitability.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment decreased $0.3 million, or 9.9%, for the three months ended December 28, 2024 when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Selling, general, and administrative

expenses as a percent of segment net sales increased to 10.4% for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to 9.6% during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year due to decreased leverage of fixed costs as a result of the reduction in sales during the period.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation operations, corporate costs incurred for all segments, and intersegment eliminations. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for Corporate/Other increased $8.6 million, or 51.1%, during the three months ended December 28, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was due primarily to investments made in people and information systems to support future growth.

Net sales for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 were $1.9 billion, an increase of $401.1 million, or 26.9%, compared to the nine months ended December 30, 2023. The following is a summary of the change by operating segment.
Net sales for the Company’s U.S. manufacturing and retail operations increased by $419.4 million, or 30.4%, for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the nine months ended December 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of $447.3 million of net sales from Regional Homes in fiscal 2025 compared to $119.7 million in the prior-year period, which represented approximately 2.5 months of operations from the date of acquisition through December 30, 2023. The number of homes sold during the period increased 26.3% and the total average home selling price increased 3.3%. The increase in the number of homes sold was due to higher customer demand and production volumes compared to the prior year and the inclusion of Regional Homes sales for all of the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared to 2.5 months in the prior year period. The increase in average selling price was due primarily to the increase in the number of units sold through our company-owned retail sales centers, also in part a result of the addition of Regional Homes. The mix of wholesale unit sales versus homes sold through our company-owned retail sales centers impacts average selling price. During the nine months ended December 28, 2024, wholesale average selling price per new home decreased due to changes in product mix, including customers choosing homes with fewer or lower cost options.
The Canadian Factory-built Housing segment net sales decreased by $17.5 million, or 20.3% for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a 20.9% decrease in homes sold, partially offset by a 0.8% increase in average home selling price. The decrease in homes sold is due to slowing demand in the Canadian market. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Canadian segment were unfavorably impacted by approximately $1.2 million due to fluctuations in the translation of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar during the nine months ended December 28, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Net sales for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation business, financing activities and the elimination of intersegment sales. For the nine months ended December 28, 2024, net sales decreased $0.8 million, or 3.3%, primarily attributable to a decrease in recreational vehicle shipments, offset in part by the inclusion of Champion Financing.

Gross profit for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment decreased by $7.1 million, or 29.6% during the nine months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to lower sales volumes.
24
Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 24.7% for the nine months ended December 28, 2024, compared to 28.0% in the same period of the prior year, primarily the result of decreased leverage of fixed manufacturing costs.
Gross profit for the Corporate/Other segment increased $4.7 million, or 39.6%, during the nine months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross profit increased as a result of the revenue mix in the Company's transportation operations and the inclusion of Champion Financing.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses, as a percent of segment net sales increased to 13.5% for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 compared to 11.8% during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The increases were primarily due to the inclusion of Regional Homes for the full period of fiscal 2025 compared to 2.5 months in the prior period, as well as a charge of $7.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration included in the acquisition of Regional Homes. Additionally, incentive compensation costs, which are generally based on sales volume or measures of profitability, increased in the current period.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment were lower by $0.3 million compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of segment net sales increased to 11.5% for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 compared to 9.5% during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year due to less absorption of fixed costs caused by lower sales.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for Corporate/Other increased $18.0 million, or 37.0%, during the nine months ended December 28, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to higher incentive compensation and investments made in people and information systems to support future growth.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 differ from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of state and local income taxes, non-deductible expenses, tax credits, and results in foreign jurisdictions.

The following table reconciles net income attributable to Champion Homes, Inc., the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023:

(3,253
40,571
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 was $232.5 million, an increase of $40.6 million from the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily a result of higher sales volumes and gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, Those increases are primarily a result of the inclusion of Regional Homes for the full period of fiscal 2025 compared to 2.5 months in the prior year period.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to Champion Homes, Inc. plus expense or minus income: (a) the provision for income taxes; (b) interest (income) expense, net; (c) depreciation and amortization; (d) gain or loss from discontinued operations; (e) non-cash restructuring charges and impairment of assets; (f) equity in net earnings or losses of ECN; (g) charges related to the remediation of the water intrusion product liability claims; and (h) other non-operating income and costs, including but not limited to those costs for the acquisition and integration or disposition of businesses, including the change in fair value of contingent consideration, and idle facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of earnings calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net sales, operating income or earnings per share prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as defined by U.S. GAAP, which is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
27
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s financial performance that management believes is useful to investors, because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company’s operating activities across reporting periods. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating operating performance for the following reasons: (i) Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-operating income or loss, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; and (ii) analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in the industry.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of the internal annual operating budget and periodic forecasts: (i) in communications with the Board of Directors and investors concerning financial performance; (ii) as a factor in determining bonuses under certain incentive compensation programs; and (iii) as a measure of operating performance used to determine the ability to provide cash flows to support investments in capital assets, acquisitions and working capital requirements for operating expansion.
BACKLOG
Although orders from customers can be canceled at any time without penalty, and unfilled orders are not necessarily an indication of future business, the Company’s unfilled U.S. and Canadian manufacturing orders at December 28, 2024 totaled $312.6 million compared to $290.4 million at December 30, 2023. The increase in backlog is due to higher net orders compared to the prior fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
The following table presents summary cash flow information for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023:
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities
Investing activities
Financing activities
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and existing cash balances. Cash balances and cash flows from operations for the next year are expected to be adequate to cover working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and strategic initiatives and investments. The Company has an Amended Credit Agreement which provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $45.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. At December 28, 2024, $168.5 million was available for borrowing under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company’s revolving credit facility includes (i) a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.00, subject to an upward adjustment upon the consummation of a material acquisition, and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. The Company anticipates compliance with its debt covenants and projects its level of cash availability to be in excess of cash needed to operate the business for the next year and beyond. In the event operating cash flow and existing cash balances were deemed inadequate to support the Company’s liquidity needs, and one or more capital resources were to become unavailable, the Company would revise its operating strategies.
Cash provided by operating activities was $194.9 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 compared to $218.6 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by less favorable changes in working capital items during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 as compared to the same period of the prior year, partially offset by higher income before non-cash charges.
Cash used in investing activities was $35.0 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 compared to $474.4 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was related to the Company's acquisition of Regional Homes, an investment in floor plan loans, and the purchase of ECN common and preferred stock in fiscal 2024 which did not recur in fiscal 2025.
Cash used in financing activities was $65.9 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023. The change between periods was primarily due to repurchases of the Company's common stock totaling $60.0 million in fiscal 2025.
