“The Champion Homes team delivered strong financial results to start fiscal year 2026, driven by our customer-centric strategy and agile operational execution,” said Tim Larson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Champion Homes. "We are pleased with the results we were able to deliver in the first quarter given the dynamic market and consumer environment. We remain confident in our strategy and the demand for our homes, as reflected by our disciplined approach to capital allocation, including the closing of our acquisition of Iseman Homes and $50 million of share repurchases in the quarter."

First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

Net sales for the first quarter fiscal 2026 increased 11.7% to $701.3 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the first quarter fiscal 2026 increased 6.5% to 6,965 mainly driven by an increase in shipments to the community sales channel. The ASP per U.S. home sold increased 3.6% to $95,000 due to changes in product mix and increased prices on new homes sold through company-owned retail sales centers. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter increased to 250 homes compared to 167 homes in the prior-year period due to improving demand in certain markets.

Gross profit increased by 15.6% to $189.8 million in the first quarter fiscal 2026 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 27.1% of net sales, a 90-basis point expansion compared to 26.2% in the first quarter fiscal 2025. Gross margin expansion reflects higher ASPs on new homes sold through company-owned retail sales centers in the current quarter, and the unfavorable purchase accounting impact in the prior year related to the value of inventory acquired in the purchase of Regional Homes.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the first quarter fiscal 2026 increased to $111.3 million from $108.8 million in the same period last year. SG&A during the quarter increased due to higher variable compensation from higher sales volumes and profitability, costs associated with plant closures and the inclusion of Iseman Homes, partially offset by a charge of $7.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 for the change in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Regional Homes which did not reoccur in the current period. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 15.9%, compared to 17.3% in the prior year period.

Net income increased by 41.3% to $64.7 million for the first quarter fiscal 2026 compared to the prior-year period. The increase in net income was driven by higher sales and gross profit in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter fiscal 2026 increased by 25.6% to $94.2 million compared to the first quarter fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 13.4%, compared to 11.9% in the prior-year period.

As of June 28, 2025, Champion Homes had $605.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $5.0 million in the current quarter. The Company closed on the acquisition of Iseman Homes during the first quarter and repurchased and retired $50 million of its common stock under the previously announced repurchase program. On July 24, 2025, the Board of Directors refreshed the share repurchase authorization to provide for $150 million of potential future repurchases.

On July 28, 2025, Champion Homes amended and extended the existing credit facility through 2030. This amendment enhances capacity for the Company's strategic priorities. Additional details are available in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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.
