Champion Homes, Inc. (NYSE: SKY) is a producer of factory-built housing in North America. According to the company’s public disclosures, Champion Homes focuses on manufactured and modular homes and related factory-built structures that serve single-family, multi-family and hospitality sectors. The company describes itself as having more than 70 years of homebuilding experience and operating dozens of manufacturing facilities across the United States and western Canada.
Champion Homes states that it offers an “innovative portfolio” of manufactured and modular homes, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), park-models and modular buildings. These products are designed for a range of end uses, including primary residences and structures for multi-family and hospitality applications. The company builds homes under multiple brand names in the factory-built housing industry, including Champion Homes, Genesis Homes, Skyline Homes, Regional Homes, Athens Park Models, Dutch Housing, Atlantic Homes, Excel Homes, Homes of Merit, New Era, J.

Business model and operations
Champion Homes describes its core business as home building using offsite, factory-based construction. Homes and other structures are built indoors in the company’s manufacturing facilities, then transported to their final locations. The company reports that it operates 46 manufacturing facilities throughout the United States and western Canada in several of its news releases, and in one acquisition-related release it notes 48 facilities, reflecting the impact of that transaction.
In addition to building homes and modular structures, Champion Homes reports several related activities that support its factory-built housing model:
- Construction services to install and set up factory-built homes.
- Factory-direct retail operations, with the company stating that it operates a retail business with 72 or 82 retail locations across the United States, depending on the specific period referenced in its press releases.
- Transportation services through Star Fleet Trucking, which provides transportation services to the manufactured housing and other industries from several dispatch locations across the United States.
The company’s disclosures also describe a vertically integrated approach that connects manufacturing with retail distribution and logistics. In a news release about the definitive agreement to acquire Iseman Homes, Inc., Champion Homes highlights its strategy to expand its retail footprint and strengthen distribution from nearby manufacturing facilities. The company notes that Iseman Homes has operated retail sales centers in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska and Wyoming, and that this acquisition is intended to support its integrated growth model.
Factory-built housing focus
Champion Homes emphasizes offsite construction as a central element of its operations. In a news release about being featured on the television program Designing Spaces, the company explains that its homes are built indoors in manufacturing facilities where they are protected from the elements. It notes that this process allows for a streamlined, coordinated workflow under one roof, with a centralized workforce and quality control across the build process.
In a separate release describing a visit by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) executives to a Champion Homes facility in Leola, Pennsylvania, the company highlights the efficiency and consistency of its factory-built model compared with conventional onsite construction. The release states that the centralized, coordinated workforce helps address labor cost and shortage trends in the construction industry and provides year-round work in an indoor environment.

In its earnings press releases, which are furnished as exhibits to Forms 8-K, the company presents both U.S. GAAP financial measures and certain non-GAAP financial measures.
The company defines Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS in its earnings releases. It explains that these measures are used for business planning and to assess operating performance from period to period by excluding items it considers not representative of its core business, such as restructuring charges, impairment of assets, charges related to remediation of specific product liability claims, and costs associated with acquisitions and integrations. Champion Homes notes that these non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace GAAP measures and may be calculated differently than similar measures used by other companies.
Capital structure and credit facilities
In a Form 8-K dated July 29, 2025, Champion Homes discloses that it entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement providing for a revolving credit facility. The filing describes a $200 million revolving credit facility with a letter of credit sub-facility, extends the maturity date of the facility to July 2030, and outlines interest rate terms based on the company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. The credit agreement includes customary covenants, such as a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, and allows borrowings to be used for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, permitted restricted payments and other general corporate purposes.
The company also reports that the revolving credit facility is guaranteed by the company and certain subsidiaries and is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of their assets, subject to specified exceptions. Optional prepayments are permitted without premium or penalty (other than breakage costs), and certain mandatory prepayments are required from specified asset sale and indebtedness proceeds.
