“I am so pleased with our team's performance across the business helping get us off to a very strong start despite very challenging retail and wholesale environments in the leisure markets we serve. Our focus for the last year, in addition to innovation and growth, has been on plant optimizations, G&A restructuring, and other self-help initiatives driving us toward stronger financial health no matter how tough the environment. As a result, we were able to generate meaningful earnings growth,” said Jason Lippert, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This strong performance and the growth we achieved during a muted quarter for industry output further validates the success of our targeted investments in operational excellence and diversification. Our team's emphasis on footprint and cost structure optimization efforts has amplified these results, enhancing the long-term earnings power of our platform. Looking ahead, regardless of the macro environment, our key performance drivers include rapid content-per-unit expansion through innovation, a dedicated focus on growing the aftermarket business that is positioned to service nearly every RV on the road, and accelerating traction across OEM markets. The updated outlook shared today reflects our confidence in broadening our ability to serve our customers and our team’s consistent execution in driving long-term shareholder value.”

Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted, on a GAAP basis, includes diluted shares attributable to the Company's 2030 Convertible Notes. However, the offsetting impact of the convertible note hedge transactions that the Company entered into in connection therewith is not recognized on a GAAP basis. As a result, for purposes of this calculation, the Company excludes the dilutive shares to the extent they would be offset by the convertible note hedge transactions. |
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
Further, the Company has provided its outlook for full-year 2026 Adjusted EPS in this release. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because the Company is unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. The financial impact of such items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to the Company's consolidated statements of income.
