Exhibit 99.1

Camping World Holdings, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2023 Results, Returns to Positive New Vehicle Unit Volume Growth, Continues Acquisition Pace, Committed to Delivering Unit Volume, Market Share, and Strong Earnings Growth in 2024

LINCOLNSHIRE, IL – February 21, 2024 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Camping World Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CWH) (the “Company” or “CWH”), America’s Recreation Dealer, today reported results for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Camping World Holdings, Inc. stated, “Beginning in December, our new vehicle same store unit growth turned positive, with January and February to date trending up from mid-single to low-double digits. We achieved our goal of significantly improving our new unit inventory position, with less than 7,500 new model year 2023’s remaining as of today. We believe we are outpacing the industry with close to 80% in 2024 models currently. We believe that successful negotiations in year-over-year pricing reductions on like-for-like new units has sparked early demand and new gross margin stabilization.”

Matt Wagner, Chief Operating Officer of Camping World Holdings, Inc. commented, “Any reduction of new model pricing causes us to reset used vehicle values and slow down the purchases of used RV inventory while market values correct themselves. We expect this short-term maneuver to allow used vehicle volumes to improve over time, with gross margin improvement beginning in the second quarter and continuing through the balance of the year.”

Mr. Wagner concluded, “Positive demand trends, inventory discipline, strength in our Good Sam segment and the service and parts portion of our business, acquisitions, and cost reductions, give us confidence in delivering unit volume and strong earnings growth in 2024 while continuing our march to 320 locations by 2028.”

Full Year-over-Year Operating Highlights

●

Revenue was $6.2 billion, a decrease of $740.5 million, or 10.6%.

●

Used vehicle revenue was a record $2.0 billion, an increase of $102.0 million, or 5.4%, and used vehicle unit sales were a record 56,823 units, an increase of 5,498 units, or 10.7%.

●

New vehicle revenue was $2.6 billion, a decline of $651.8 million, or 20.2%, and new vehicle unit sales were 58,731 units, a decrease of 11,698 units, or 16.6%.

●

Average selling price of new and used vehicles declined 4.3% and 4.8%, respectively.

●

Same store used vehicle unit sales increased 5.0%, and same store new vehicle unit sales decreased 22.1%.

●

Products, services and other revenue was $870.0 million, a decline of $129.2 million, or 12.9%, driven largely by lower demand and lower stocking levels of lifestyle and activities, and design and home products, as well as decreases in our direct to manufacturer RV furniture revenues due to RV manufacturer production slowdowns and discounting and discontinuation of certain product categories related to our Active Sports Restructuring.

●

Gross profit was $1.9 billion, a decrease of $383.6 million, or 17.0%. Total gross margin was 30.2%, a decrease of 230 basis points. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was driven largely by the decrease in average selling price of new and used vehicles and gross profit was further impacted by the decrease in combined RV unit sales and the related decrease in finance and insurance, net. This decrease was partially offset by the $14.3 million increase in gross profit and 682 basis point increase in gross margin of the Good Sam Services and Plans segment.

●

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.5 billion, a decrease of $68.0 million, or 4.2%, primarily due to approximately $49.2 million of reduced advertising expenses and $35.1 million of reduced

variable compensation costs, partially offset by incremental costs related to the net six additional store locations added during the year ended December 31, 2023.

●

Floor plan interest expense was $83.1 million, an increase of $41.0 million, or 97.7%, and other interest expense, net was $135.3 million, an increase of $59.5 million, or 78.6%. These increases were primarily as a result of the rise in interest rates.

●

Net income was $50.6 million, a decrease of $300.4 million, or 85.6%.

●

Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock was $0.55 in 2023 versus diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock of $3.22 in 2022. Adjusted earnings per share - diluted⁽¹⁾ of Class A common stock was $0.81 in 2023 versus adjusted earnings per share – diluted⁽¹⁾of Class A common stock of $4.17 in 2022.

●

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $286.2 million, a decrease of $367.2 million, or 56.2%.

●

New and used vehicle inventories were $1.8 billion, a decrease of $32.1 million.

●

The Company paid an annualized cash dividend of $1.50 per share of Class A common stock, a decrease of $1.00 per share of Class A common stock.

Fourth Quarter-over-Quarter Operating Highlights

●

Revenue was $1.1 billion for the fourth quarter, a decrease of $171.0 million, or 13.4%.

●

Used vehicle revenue was $321.7 million for the fourth quarter, a decrease of $70.9 million, or 18.1%, and used vehicle unit sales were 9,492 units, a decrease of 842 units, or 8.1%.

●

New vehicle revenue was $449.4 million for the fourth quarter, a decline of $32.3 million, or 6.7%, and new vehicle unit sales were 10,717 units, an increase of 328 units, or 3.2%.

●

Average selling price of new and used vehicles declined 9.6% and 10.8%, respectively, during the fourth quarter. As the procurement prices of model year 2024 new vehicles declined compared to model years 2022 and 2023, the Company actively discounted certain used vehicles and certain pre-2024 model year new vehicles during the fourth quarter to reduce inventory levels of aged vehicles.

●

Same store used vehicle unit sales decreased 11.2% for the fourth quarter, and same store new vehicle unit sales decreased 2.2%.

●

Products, services and other revenue was $179.0 million, a decline of $58.3 million, or 24.6%, driven largely by lower demand and lower stocking levels of lifestyle and activities, and design and home products, as well as discounting and discontinuation of certain product categories related to our Active Sports Restructuring.

●

Gross profit was $343.4 million, a decrease of $48.2 million, or 12.3%. Total gross margin was 31.0%, an increase of 37 basis points. The decrease in gross profit was driven largely by the new and used vehicle discounting as discussed above.

●

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $337.1 million, a decrease of $24.4 million, or 6.7%, primarily as a result of our efforts to reduce expenses.

●

Floor plan interest expense was $21.8 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 24.1%, and other interest expense, net was $35.4 million, an increase of $9.4 million, or 36.2%. These increases were primarily as a result of the rise in interest rates.

●

Net loss was $49.9 million, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 12.7%.

●

Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock was $0.49 in 2023 versus diluted loss per share of Class A common stock of $0.79 in 2022. Adjusted loss per share - diluted⁽¹⁾ of Class A common stock was $0.47 in 2023 versus adjusted loss per share – diluted⁽¹⁾of Class A common stock of $0.20 in 2022.

●

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was a negative $8.9 million, a decrease of $29.1 million, or 144.1%.

Adjusted earnings (loss) per share – diluted and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section later in this press release.

Comparison of Certain Trends to Pre-COVID-19 Pandemic Periods

During the year and three months ended December 31, 2023, we experienced a decrease in gross margin for new and used vehicles compared to the same periods in 2022. However, 2023 new vehicle gross margins were higher than the pre-COVID-19 pandemic comparative periods of 2016 to 2019, which we believe are more typical demand environments than during the COVID-19 pandemic. During 2023, as the procurement prices of model year 2024 new vehicles declined compared to model years 2022 and 2023, we actively discounted certain used vehicles to reduce inventory levels of aged used vehicles. This discounting had a negative impact on used vehicle gross margins during 2023 and is expected to continue into the first quarter of 2024, compared to the pre-COVID pandemic comparative periods.

Additionally, the percentage of total unit sales relating to used vehicles was significantly higher in 2023 compared to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of 2016 to 2019. We are continuing to execute on our used vehicle strategy, which differentiates us from the competition with proprietary tools, such as the RV Valuator, a focus on the development and retention of our service technician team, and investment in our service bay infrastructure.

The following table presents vehicle gross margin and unit sales mix for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods for the three months ended December 31, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016 (unaudited):

(Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share of Class A common stock (unaudited):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, trailing twelve-month (“TTM”) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted (collectively the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"). We believe that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics we use in our financial and operational decision making. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry and are used by management to evaluate our operating performance, to evaluate the effectiveness of strategic initiatives and for planning purposes. By providing these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. In addition, our Senior Secured Credit Facilities use Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated for our subsidiary CWGS Group, LLC, to measure our compliance with covenants such as the consolidated leverage ratio. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by any items adjusted for in these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In evaluating these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, it is reasonable to expect that certain of these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this section and in the reconciliation tables below help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

For periods beginning after December 31, 2022, we are no longer including the other associated costs category of expenses relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift as restructuring costs for purposes of our Non-GAAP Financial Measures, since these costs are not expected to be significant in future periods.

Our earnings call on February 22, 2024 may present guidance that includes Adjusted EBITDA. A full reconciliation of the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to its most-directly comparable GAAP metric cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliations.

The Non-GAAP Financial Measures that we use are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define “EBITDA” as net (loss) income before other interest expense, net (excluding floor plan interest expense), provision for income tax benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of certain noncash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the Active Sports Restructuring and the 2019 Strategic Shift, (gain) loss and impairment on investments in equity securities, and other unusual or one-time items. We define “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share

We define “Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic” as net income (loss) attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the Active Sports Restructuring and the 2019 Strategic Shift, loss and impairment on investments in equity securities, other unusual or one-time items, the income tax benefit (expense) effect of these adjustments, and the effect of net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests from these adjustments.

We define “Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted” as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic adjusted for the reallocation of net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests from stock options and restricted stock units, if dilutive, or the assumed redemption, if dilutive, of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for shares of newly-issued Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc.

We define “Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic” as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. - Basic divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. We define “Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted” as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (i) the redemption of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc., if dilutive, and (ii) the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units, if any. We present Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted because we consider them to

be important supplemental measures of our performance and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

(a)	Represents long-lived asset impairment charges related to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment.

(b)

Represents the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit effect of the above adjustments. For periods that ended on or before December 31, 2022, many of these adjustments were related to entities with full valuation allowances for which no tax benefit could be recognized. This assumption uses effective tax rates between 25.0% and 25.4% for the adjustments for the 2023 and 2022 periods, which represent the estimated tax rates that would apply had the above adjustments been included in the determination of our non-GAAP metric.

(c)	Represents the loss on termination of operating leases resulting from the lease termination fees and the derecognition of the operating lease assets and liabilities.

(d)	Represents an adjustment to eliminate the gains and losses on disposals and sales of various assets.

(e)	Represents non-cash equity-based compensation expense relating to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.

(f)	Represents an adjustment to eliminate the gain on remeasurement of the Tax Receivable Agreement primarily due to changes in the Company’s blended statutory income tax rate.

(g)

Represents restructuring costs relating to the Active Sports Restructuring during the three months and the year ended December 31, 2023 and the 2019 Strategic Shift for periods that ended on or before December 31, 2022. These restructuring costs include one-time termination benefits, incremental inventory reserve charges, and other associated costs. These costs exclude lease termination costs, which are presented separately above.

(h)

Represents loss and impairment on investments in equity securities and interest income relating to any notes receivables with those investments for periods beginning after December 31, 2022. Amounts relating to periods prior to 2023 were not significant. These amounts are included in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2023, this amount included a $1.3 million impairment on an equity method investment.

(i)	Represents income tax (benefit) expense relating to the LLC Conversion, which was primarily from adjustments for certain deferred tax assets that were written off or had changes in their valuation allowance.

(j)

Represents the adjustment to net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests resulting from the above adjustments that impact the net (loss) income of CWGS, LLC. This adjustment uses the non-controlling interest’s weighted average ownership of CWGS, LLC of 47.1% and 49.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 47.3% and 49.8% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(k)	Represents the reallocation of net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests from the impact of the assumed change in ownership of CWGS, LLC from stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.

(l)	Represents the (loss) income tax expense effect of the above adjustment for reallocation of net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests. This assumption uses effective tax rates between 25.0% and 25.4% for the adjustments for 2023 and 2022 periods.

(m)

As a result of the LLC Conversion, this adjustment only relates to periods ended on or before December 31, 2022. Typically represents adjustments to reflect the income tax benefit of losses of consolidated C-corporations that under the Company’s previous equity structure, prior to the LLC Conversion, could not be used against the income of other consolidated subsidiaries of CWGS, LLC. Subsequent to the redemption of all common units in CWGS, LLC and prior to the LLC Conversion, the Company believes certain actions could have been taken such that the C-corporations’ losses could offset income of other consolidated subsidiaries. The adjustment reflects the income tax benefit assuming effective tax rate of 25.4% during 2022 for the losses experienced by the consolidated C-corporations for which valuation allowances had been recorded. No assumed release of valuation allowance established for previous periods were included in these amounts. Beginning in 2023, these C-corporation losses offset income of other consolidated subsidiaries as a result of LLC Conversion at or around December 31, 2022.

(n)	Represents the impact to the denominator for stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.

(o)	The below amounts have not been considered in our adjusted (loss) earnings per share – diluted amounts as the effect of these items are anti-dilutive.

(p)	Represents the per share impact of the Non-GAAP adjustments to net (loss) income detailed above (see (a) through (k) above).

(q)	Represents the per share impact of stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC from the difference in their dilutive impact between the GAAP and Non-GAAP (loss) earnings per share calculations.

Our “Up-C” corporate structure may make it difficult to compare our results with those of companies with a more traditional corporate structure. There can be a significant fluctuation in the numerator and denominator for the calculation of our adjusted (loss) earnings per share – diluted depending on if the common units in CWGS, LLC are considered dilutive or anti-dilutive for a given period. To improve comparability of our financial results, users of our financial statements may find it useful to review our (loss) earnings per share assuming the full redemption of common units in CWGS, LLC for all periods, even when those common units would be anti-dilutive. The relevant numerator and denominator adjustments have been provided under “Anti-dilutive amounts” in the table above (see (o) above).
