Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Net sales for the third quarter fiscal 2025 increased 15.3% to $644.9 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the third quarter fiscal 2025 increased 14.1% to 6,437 driven by an increase in demand across all sales channels. The ASP per U.S. home sold increased 2.8% to $94,900 due to an increase in the number of units sold through company-owned retail sales centers during the quarter. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter decreased to 209 homes compared to 249 homes in the prior-year period due to softening demand in certain markets.

Gross profit increased by 28.1% to $181.0 million in the third quarter fiscal 2025 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 28.1% of net sales, a 280-basis point expansion compared to 25.3% in the third quarter fiscal 2024. Gross margin expansion reflects higher ASPs on new homes sold through company-owned retail sales centers which also generated a greater percentage of total revenue in addition to lower input costs and acquisition synergy capture when compared to the prior-year period.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the third quarter fiscal 2025 increased to $108.2 million from $85.1 million in the same period last year. SG&A during the quarter increased due to higher variable compensation from higher sales volumes and profitability as well as investments in people and information systems to support future growth. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 16.8%, compared to 15.2% in the prior year period.

Net income increased by 31.0% to $61.5 million for the third quarter fiscal 2025 compared to the prior-year period. The increase in net income was driven by higher sales and gross profit partially offset by higher SG&A in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter fiscal 2025 increased by 25.7% to $83.3 million compared to the third quarter fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 12.9%, compared to 11.8% in the prior-year period.

As of December 28, 2024, Champion Homes had $581.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $11.5 million in the current quarter. The Company repurchased and retired $20 million of its common stock during the third quarter under the previously announced repurchase program. On January 30, 2025, the Board of Directors refreshed the share repurchase authorization to provide for $100 million of potential future repurchases.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) throughout this press release, Champion Homes has provided Non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS, (collectively the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. Champion Homes uses these Non-GAAP Financial Measures for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors. Champion Homes believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are useful financial metrics to assess its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that Champion Homes believes are not representative of its core business. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of Champion Homes’ financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Champion Homes defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to Champion Homes, Inc. plus expenses or minus income, (a) the provision for income taxes, (b) interest income or 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 Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales reported in the income statements.

Champion Homes defines Adjusted Net Income as net income or loss attributable to Champion Homes, Inc. plus expenses or minus income (net of tax where applicable), (a) gain or loss from discontinued operations, (b) non-cash restructuring charges and impairment of assets, (c) equity in net earnings or losses of ECN, (d) charges related to the remediation of estimated water intrusion product liability, and (e) other non-operating income or expense 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. Champion Homes defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are not measures 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. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as defined by U.S. GAAP. Champion Homes believes that similar Non-GAAP Financial Measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate its performance and that of its competitors. However, Champion Homes use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures may vary from that of others in its industry. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are reconciled from the respective measure under U.S. GAAP in the tables below.
