Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

Net sales for the third quarter fiscal 2026 increased 1.8% to $656.6 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the third quarter fiscal 2026 decreased 2.6% to 6,270, due to a decrease in sales to the community REIT channel as well as a function of the prior-year period having an outsized benefit in homes sold as a result of weather that shifted sales from the fiscal second quarter 2025 to the fiscal third quarter 2025. The ASP per U.S. home sold increased 4.6% to $99,300 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 2.9% to 215 homes compared to 209 homes in the prior-year period.

Gross profit decreased by 4.9% to $172.2 million in the third quarter fiscal 2026 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 26.2% of net sales, a 190-basis point reduction compared to 28.1% in the prior-year period. Gross margin compression is due to higher manufacturing materials costs and less absorption of fixed costs due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher ASPs on new homes sold through our Company-owned retail sales centers.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the third quarter fiscal 2026 increased to $109.7 million from $108.2 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the inclusion of the Iseman Homes acquisition in May 2025. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 16.7%, relatively flat compared to the prior year period.

Net income decreased by 11.7% to $54.3 million for the third quarter fiscal 2026 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by lower gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter fiscal 2026 decreased 10.2% to $74.8 million compared to the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter decreased by 150 basis points to 11.4%.

As of December 27, 2025, Champion Homes had $659.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $41.0 million in the current quarter. The Company repurchased and retired $50.0 million of its common stock under the previously announced repurchase program. On January 29, 2026, the Company’s board of directors refreshed the share repurchase authorization to provide for $150 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) restructuring charges and impairment of assets, (f) equity in net earnings or losses of ECN Capital Corp., (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) restructuring charges and impairment of assets, (c) equity in net earnings or losses of ECN Capital Corp., (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.
