Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Net sales for the fourth quarter fiscal 2025 increased 10.7% to $593.9 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the fourth quarter fiscal 2025 increased 5.1% to 5,941 driven by an increase in demand. The ASP per U.S. home sold increased 5.0% to $94,300 due to product mix, including a higher number of units sold through our company-owned retail sales centers. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter increased to 230 homes compared to 189 homes in the prior-year period due to higher demand in certain markets.

Gross profit increased by 55.0% to $152.5 million in the fourth quarter fiscal 2025 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 25.7% of net sales, a 740-basis point expansion compared to 18.3% in the fourth quarter fiscal 2024. Gross margin expansion primarily reflects the absence of the $34.5 million product liability reserve recorded in the fourth quarter fiscal 2024. Adjusted gross profit increased 14.7% and margin expanded by 90-basis points year-over-year, reflecting a greater percentage of our total revenue generated through our company-owned retail sales centers.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the fourth quarter fiscal 2025 increased to $110.3 million from $90.6 million in the same period last year. SG&A during the quarter increased due to higher variable compensation from higher sales volumes as well as investments in new products, marketing, people and technology to support future growth. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 18.6%, compared to 16.9% in the prior year period.

Net income increased by $33.6 million to $36.3 million for the fourth 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 fourth quarter fiscal 2025 decreased by 1.1% to $52.6 million compared to the fourth quarter fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 8.9%, compared to 9.9% in the prior-year period.

As of March 29, 2025, Champion Homes had $610.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $28.6 million in the current quarter. The Company repurchased and retired $20 million of its common stock during the fourth quarter under the previously announced repurchase program. On May 15, 2025, the Board of Directors refreshed the share repurchase authorization to provide for $100 million of potential future repurchases.

Full Year Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights

For fiscal 2025, net sales were $2.5 billion which represents an increase of 22.7%, or $458.6 million, compared to fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the Regional Homes acquisition and higher organic U.S. homes sales compared to prior year. The U.S. housing segment also delivered higher ASPs as more homes were sold through captive retail compared to fiscal 2024.

Gross profit increased $178.2 million or 36.7% to $664.0 million in fiscal 2025, compared to $485.8 million in the prior year period. Gross margin expanded by 270-basis points to 26.7% of net sales for fiscal 2025, compared to fiscal 2024, reflecting the impact of increased home sales, increased sales through captive retail, and the impact of the $34.5 million water intrusion liability in fiscal 2024 that did not reoccur in fiscal 2025.

SG&A increased 37.5% to $427.0 million for fiscal 2025, compared to $310.6 million in the prior year period primarily due to the inclusion of Regional Homes for the entirety of fiscal 2025, higher variable compensation from higher sales volume and earnings as well as investments in people and technology to support future growth.

Net income for fiscal 2025 was $198.4 million compared to net income of $146.7 million for fiscal 2024, an increase of $51.7 million or 35.3% due to higher sales and gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A spend.

Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2025 increased 16.2% to $285.1 million, compared to $245.3 million for fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 60-basis points to 11.5% in fiscal 2025.

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 Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, 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 Gross Profit as gross profit or loss plus expenses or minus income for charges related to the remediation of the water intrusion product liability. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is calculated as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of net sales.

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 Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, 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.
