Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Camping World Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been reflected. All intercompany accounts and transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
CWH was formed on March 8, 2016 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of facilitating an IPO and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of CWGS, LLC. CWGS, LLC was formed in March 2011 when it received, through contribution from its then parent company, all of the membership interests of Affinity Group Holding, LLC and FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC (“FreedomRoads”). The IPO and related reorganization transactions that occurred on October 6, 2016 resulted in CWH as the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, with CWH having sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity). Despite its position as sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, CWH had a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC through March 11, 2021. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, CWH owned 51.6% and 47.4%, respectively, of CWGS, LLC. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial results of CWGS, LLC and reports a non-controlling interest in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within its condensed consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
COVID-19
A novel strain of coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions of the world and resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas. Many affected areas have made significant progress with the easing of restrictions and reopening certain businesses often under new operating guidelines, although new waves of infection or the spread of new variants may lead to an increase in such restrictions or closures.
In conjunction with the initial stay-at-home and shelter-in-place restrictions enacted in many areas, the Company saw significant sequential declines in its overall customer traffic levels and its overall revenues from the mid-March to mid-to-late April 2020 timeframe. In the latter part of April 2020, the Company began to see a significant improvement in its online web traffic levels and number of electronic leads, and in early May 2020, the Company began to see improvements in its overall revenue levels. As the stay-at-home restrictions began to ease across certain areas of the country, the Company experienced significant acceleration in its in-store
11
and online traffic, lead generation, and revenue trends in May 2020 continuing into the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
In order to offset the initially expected adverse impact of COVID-19 and better align expenses with reduced sales in the middle of March 2020 and early April 2020, the Company reduced marketing expenses and temporarily reduced salaries and hours throughout the business, including for its executive officers, and implemented headcount and other cost reductions. Most of these temporary salary and hourly reductions ended in May 2020 as the adverse economic impacts of the pandemic began to decline. The Company has also taken steps to add new private label lines, expand its relationships with smaller recreational vehicle (“RV”) manufacturers, and acquire used inventory to help manage risks in its supply chain.
Throughout the pandemic, the majority of the Company’s retail locations have continued to operate as essential businesses and the Company has continued to operate its e-commerce business. Annually, most of the Company’s consumer shows and events take place during the first quarter. As a consequence of COVID-19, the Company held no in-person consumer shows in the first six months of 2021 and held fewer in-person consumer shows and events during 2020 than in 2019. Since March 2020, the Company has implemented preparedness plans to keep its employees and customers safe, which include social distancing, providing employees with face coverings and/or other protective clothing as required, implementing additional cleaning and sanitization routines, and work-from-home directives for a significant portion of the Company’s workforce. In July 2021, the Company began transitioning many of its employees from work-from-home schedules to a return to the Company’s offices.
Description of the Business
Camping World Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is America’s largest retailer of RVs and related products and services. As noted above, CWGS, LLC is a holding company and operates through its subsidiaries. The Company has the following two reportable segments: (i) Good Sam Services and Plans and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. See Note 18 – Segments Information to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about the Company’s segments. Within the Good Sam Services and Plans segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of the following offerings: emergency roadside assistance plans; property and casualty insurance programs; travel assist programs; extended vehicle service contracts; vehicle financing and refinancing assistance; consumer shows and events; and consumer publications and directories. Within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of new and used RVs; commissions on the finance and insurance contracts related to the sale of RVs; the sale of RV service and collision work; the sale of RV parts, accessories, and supplies; the sale of outdoor products, equipment, gear and supplies; business to business distribution of RV furniture; and the sale of Good Sam Club memberships and co-branded credit cards. The Company operates a national network of RV dealerships and service centers as well as a comprehensive e-commerce platform primarily under the Camping World and Gander RV & Outdoors brands, and markets its products and services primarily to RV and outdoor enthusiasts.
In 2019, the Company made a strategic decision to refocus its business around its core RV competencies, and on September 3, 2019, the board of directors approved a strategic plan to shift the business away from locations that did not have the ability or where it was not feasible to sell and/or service RVs (the “2019 Strategic Shift”) (see Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment).
A summary of the retail store openings, closings, divestitures, conversions and number of locations from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021, are in the table below:

Reclassifications of Prior Period Amounts
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, the current and noncurrent portions of finance lease liabilities have been reclassified to be presented separately from current and noncurrent portions of long-term debt, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, the payments on finance leases have been reclassified to be presented separately from payments on long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended as of June 30, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, including those uncertainties arising from COVID-19, and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company periodically evaluates estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements and makes changes on a prospective basis when adjustments are necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include certain assumptions related to accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, long lived assets, long-lived asset impairments, program cancellation reserves, chargebacks, and accruals related to estimated tax liabilities, product return reserves, and other liabilities.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). This standard reduces complexity by removing specific exceptions to general principles related to intraperiod tax allocations, ownership changes in foreign investments, and interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. This standard also simplifies accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021 and the adoption did not materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. Revenue
Contract Assets
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, a contract asset of $11.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively, relating to RV service revenues was included in accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred Revenues
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations primarily relating to multi-year plans for its roadside assistance, Good Sam Club memberships, Coast to Coast memberships, the annual campground guide, and magazine publication revenue streams.

New RV inventory, included in the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, is primarily financed by a floor plan credit agreement with a syndication of banks. The borrowings under the floor plan credit agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of FreedomRoads, LLC (“FR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FreedomRoads, which operates the RV dealerships, and bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.05% as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. LIBOR was 0.09% at June 30, 2021 and 0.15% as of December 31, 2020. The floor plan borrowings are tied to specific vehicles and principal is due upon the sale of the related vehicle or upon reaching certain aging criteria.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FR maintained floor plan financing through the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Floor Plan Facility”). The applicable borrowing rate margin on LIBOR and base rate loans ranges from 2.05% to 2.50% and 0.55% and 1.00%, respectively, based on the consolidated current ratio at FR. The Floor Plan Facility at June 30, 2021 allowed FR to borrow (a) up to $1.38 billion under a floor plan facility, (b) up to $15.0 million under a letter of credit facility and (c) up to a maximum amount outstanding of $42.0 million under the revolving line of credit, which maximum amount outstanding further decreases by $3.0 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maturity date of the Floor Plan Facility is March 15, 2023.
On May 12, 2020, FR entered into a Third Amendment to the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Third Amendment”) that provided FR with a one-time option to request a temporary four-month reduction of the minimum consolidated current ratio at any time during 2020 and the first seven days of 2021. FR did not exercise that option. Effective May 12, 2020 through July 31, 2020, FR was not allowed to draw further Revolving Credit Loans (as defined in the Floor Plan Facility).
The Floor Plan Facility includes a flooring line aggregate interest reduction (“FLAIR”) offset account that allows the Company to transfer cash as an offset to the payables under the Floor Plan Facility. These transfers reduce the amount of liability outstanding under the floor plan borrowings that would otherwise accrue interest, while retaining the ability to transfer amounts from the FLAIR offset account into the Company’s operating cash accounts. As a result of using the FLAIR offset account, the Company experiences a reduction in floor plan interest expense in its consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FR had $130.2 million and $133.6 million, respectively, in the FLAIR offset account. The Third Amendment raised the maximum FLAIR percentage of outstanding floor plan borrowings from 20% to 30% for the period of May 12, 2020 through August 31, 2020 before returning to 20%.
14
Management has determined that the credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility includes subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management has determined that no events have occurred at June 30, 2021 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause. Additionally, the credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility contains certain financial covenants. FR was in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The following table details the outstanding amounts and available borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

4. Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment
Restructuring
On September 3, 2019, the board of directors of CWH approved a plan to strategically shift its business away from locations where the Company does not have the ability or where it is not feasible to sell and/or service RVs at a sufficient capacity (the “Outdoor Lifestyle Locations”). Of the Outdoor Lifestyle Locations in the RV and Outdoor Retail segment operating at September 3, 2019, the Company has closed or divested 39 Outdoor Lifestyle Locations, three distribution centers, and 20 specialty retail locations relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. One of the aforementioned closed distribution centers was reopened during the three months ended June 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had completed the store closures and divestitures relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. As part of the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company evaluated the impact on its supporting infrastructure and operations, which included rationalizing inventory levels and composition, closing certain distribution centers, and realigning other resources. The Company had a reduction of headcount and labor costs for those locations that were closed or divested, and the Company incurred material charges associated with the activities contemplated under the 2019 Strategic Shift.
The Company currently estimates the total restructuring costs associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift to be in the range of $92.6 million to $112.6 million. The breakdown of the estimated restructuring costs are as follows:
● | one-time employee termination benefits relating to retail store or distribution center closures/divestitures of $1.2 million, all of which has been incurred through December 31, 2020; |
15
● | lease termination costs of $18.0 million to $35.0 million, of which $13.5 million has been incurred through June 30, 2021; |

● | other associated costs of $31.0 million to $34.0 million, of which $27.2 million has been incurred through June 30, 2021. |
Through June 30, 2021, the Company has incurred $27.2 million of such other associated costs primarily representing labor, lease, and other operating expenses incurred during the post-close wind-down period for the locations related to the 2019 Strategic Shift. The additional amount of $3.8 million to $6.8 million represents similar costs that may be incurred in the year ending December 31, 2021 for locations that continue in a wind-down period, primarily comprised of lease costs accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, prior to lease termination. The Company intends to negotiate terminations of these leases where prudent and pursue sublease arrangements for the remaining leases. Lease costs may continue to be incurred after December 31, 2021 on these leases if the Company is unable to terminate the leases under acceptable terms or offset the lease costs through sublease arrangements. The foregoing lease termination cost estimate represents the expected cash payments to terminate certain leases, but does not include the gain or loss from derecognition of the related operating lease assets and liabilities, which is dependent on the particular leases that will be terminated.
The following table details the costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift (in thousands):

The Company evaluated the requirements of ASC No. 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations relative to the 2019 Strategic Shift and determined that discontinued operations treatment is not applicable. Accordingly, the results of operations of the locations impacted by the 2019 Strategic Shift are reported as part of continuing operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Long-lived Asset Impairment
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had indicators of impairment of the long-lived assets for certain of its locations. For locations that failed the recoverability test based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flows, the Company estimated the fair value of the locations based on a discounted cash flow analysis. After performing the long-lived asset impairment test for these locations, the Company determined that certain locations within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment had long-lived assets that were impaired. The long-lived asset impairment charge, subject to limitations described below, was calculated as the amount that the carrying value of the locations exceeded the estimated fair value. The calculated long-lived asset impairment charge was allocated to each of the categories of long-lived assets at each location pro rata based on the long-lived assets’ carrying values, except that individual assets cannot be impaired below their individual fair values when that fair value can be determined without undue cost and effort. For most of these locations, the operating lease right-of-use assets and furniture and equipment were written down to their individual fair values and the remaining impairment charge was allocated to the remaining long-lived assets up to the fair value estimated on these assets based on liquidation value estimates.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, there were no indicators of impairment of long-lived assets and recorded
long-lived asset impairment charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges relating to leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets of $2.4 million, $2.6 million, and $1.6 million, respectively. Of the $6.6 million long-lived asset impairment charge during the six months ended June 30, 2020, $6.5 million related to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company had indicators of impairment of long-lived assets for certain operating lease right-of-use assets relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift that had been partially impaired in a previous period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, on these operating lease right-of-use assets.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company’s goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets might be impaired. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the Company records an impairment of goodwill equal to the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that a triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment test of its RV and Outdoor Retail reporting unit had occurred as a result of the decline in the market price of the Company’s Class A common stock and the potential impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business. As a result of the interim goodwill impairment test, the Company determined that the fair value of the RV and Outdoor Retail reporting unit was substantially above its respective carrying amount, therefore, no goodwill impairment was recorded. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company determined that there were no triggering events for an interim goodwill impairment test of its reporting units.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, was party to separate credit agreements (the “New Credit Agreement” as of June 30, 2021 and, as amended from time to time, the “Previous Credit Agreement” as of December 31, 2020) for senior secured credit facilities (the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities” as of June 30, 2021, the “Previous Senior Secured Credit Facilities” as of December 31, 2020, and collectively the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The New Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of a $1.100 billion term loan facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). The Previous Senior Secured Credit Facilities consisted of a $1.195 billion term loan facility (the “Previous Term Loan Facility”) and a $35.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Previous Revolving Credit Facility”). On June 3, 2021, concurrently with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company repaid and extinguished the Previous Senior Secured Credit Facilities with the proceeds from borrowing the full amount available under the New Term Loan Facility and paying an additional $61.4 million from cash on hand, resulting in an overall reduction of outstanding principal of $38.6 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, loss and expense on debt restructure of $10.4 million was comprised of $0.4 million in extinguishment of the original issue discount, $1.0 million in extinguishment of capitalized finance costs related to the Previous Term Loan Facility, and $9.0 million in legal and other expenses related to the New Term Loan Facility.
The funds available under the New Revolving Credit Facility may be utilized for borrowings or letters of credit; however, a maximum of $25.0 million may be allocated to such letters of credit compared to a maximum of $15.0 million that may have been allocated to such letters of credit under the Previous Revolving Credit Facility. The New Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 3, 2026, and the New Term Loan Facility matures on June 3, 2028. The New Term Loan Facility requires mandatory principal payments in equal quarterly installments of $2.8 million, which commenced on June 30, 2021, compared to equal quarterly installments of $3.0 million under the Previous Term Loan Facility. Additionally, the Company is required to prepay the term
19
loan borrowings in an aggregate amount up to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the New Credit Agreement, for such fiscal year depending on the total net leverage ratio beginning with the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company is not subject to an additional excess cash flow payment relating to 2021 under the New Term Loan Facility and was not required to make an additional excess cash flow payment relating to 2020 under the Previous Term Loan Facility.
Under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company has the ability to increase the amount of term loans or revolving loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (a) a “fixed” amount set at $725.0 million and (b) 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters on a pro forma basis (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). The lenders under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase.
As of June 30, 2021, the average interest rate on the New Term Loan Facility was 3.25%. The following table details the outstanding amounts and available borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as of (in thousands):

8. Fair Value Measurements
Accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels and there were no material re-measurements to fair value during 2021 and 2020 of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following table presents the reported carrying value and fair value information for the Company’s debt instruments. The fair values shown below for the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, are based on quoted prices in the inactive market for identical assets (Level 2), and the fair values shown below for the Floor Plan Facility, the Revolving Line of Credit, and the Real Estate Facility are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available based on similar financial instruments.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
On October 19, 2018, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Ronge v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Ronge Complaint”). On October 25, 2018, a different purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Strougo v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Strougo Complaint”).
On March 5, 2019, a shareholder derivative suit styled Hunnewell v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty for alleged failure to implement effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting and to properly oversee certain acquisitions and for alleged insider trading (the “Hunnewell Complaint”).
On April 17, 2019, a shareholder derivative suit styled Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty for alleged failure to implement effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting and to properly oversee certain acquisitions and for alleged insider trading and unjust enrichment for compensation received during that time (the “LPPF Complaint”). The LPPF Complaint names the Company as nominal defendant, and names certain of the Company’s officers and directors, among others, as defendants and seeks compensatory damages, extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief, restitution and disgorgement, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper. On May 30, 2019, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to consolidate the Hunnewell and LPPF Complaints (as well as any future filed actions relating to the subject matter) and stay the newly consolidated action pending the resolution of defendants’ motion to dismiss in the Ronge action. Following the Ronge court’s approval of settlement and entry of a final judgment and order dismissing the Ronge action with prejudice, on August 31, 2020, the parties filed a stipulation and proposed order designating the LPPF Complaint as the operative
22
complaint in the consolidated action, and setting forth a schedule for defendants to respond to that Complaint, which the Court granted. On October 30, 2020, the Company, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss this action. On December 30, 2020, the Court granted the parties’ stipulated schedule for Plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. On January 7, 2021, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint, alleging substantially same claims and seeking the same relief. On March 8, 2021, the Company, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs filed their opposition to Defendants’ motion to dismiss on June 4, 2021. Defendants filed their reply in further support of their motion to dismiss on July 23, 2021.
On August 6, 2019, two shareholder derivative suits, styled Janssen v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., and Sandler v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., were filed in the U.S. District Court of Delaware. Both actions name the Company as a nominal defendant, and name certain of the Company’s officers and directors, Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. as defendants, and allege: (i) violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act for issuing proxy statements that allegedly omitted material information and allegedly included materially false and misleading financial statements; (ii) violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, seeking contribution for causing the Company to issue allegedly false and misleading statements and/or allegedly omit material information in public statements and/or the Company’s filings concerning the Company’s financial performance, the effectiveness of internal controls to ensure accurate financial reporting, and the success and profitability of the integration and rollout of Gander Outdoors (now Gander RV) stores; (iii) breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement for allegedly causing or allowing the Company to disseminate to Camping World shareholders materially misleading and inaccurate information through the Company’s SEC filings; and (iv) breach of fiduciary duties for alleged insider selling and misappropriation of information (together, the “Janssen and Sandler Complaints”). The Janssen and Sandler Complaints seek restitutionary and/or compensatory damages, injunctive relief, disgorgement of all profits, benefits, and other compensation obtained by certain of the Company’s officers and directors, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper. On September 25, 2019, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to consolidate the action and stay the action pending resolution of defendants’ motion to dismiss in the Ronge action. Following the Ronge court’s approval of settlement and entry of a final judgment and order dismissing the Ronge action with prejudice, the case remains stayed while the parties confer regarding the schedule for further proceedings in the action.
On May 28, 2020, Kamela Woodings (“Woodings”), in her representative capacity under the Private Attorney General Action (“Woodings PAGA Complaint”) filed a lawsuit styled Woodings v. FreedomRoads, LLC in Los Angeles County Superior Court against FreedomRoads, LLC in which she alleged that she and the putative class members often performed off-the-clock work for which they were not adequately compensated, and alleged the following causes of action: Violation of California Labor Code Sections 2698, et seq, (Private Attorney General Act of 2004), which includes allegations of (1) Failure to Pay Minimum Wage, (2) Failure to Pay Overtime, (3) Failure to Provide Meal Periods, (4) Failure to Provide Rest Breaks, (5) Failure to Timely Pay Wage Upon Termination, (6) Failure to Timely Pay Wages During Employment, (7) Failure to Provide Complete And Accurate Wage Statements, and (8) Failure to Keep Accurate Business Records (the “PAGA Complaint”). The Woodings PAGA Complaint seeks civil penalties and attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to California Labor Code Section 2699.
On June 25, 2020, Woodings filed a class action complaint styled Woodings v. FreedomRoads, LLC in Los Angeles County Superior Court against FreedomRoads, LLC in which Woodings alleged that she and the putative class members, all of FreedomRoads, LLC’s non-exempt California employees, were not appropriately compensated for all wages earned in the form of commission, and that she and the putative class members often performed off-the-clock work for which they were not adequately compensated. Woodings also alleged the following causes of action: (1) Violation of California Labor Code §§ 1194, 1197, and 1197.1 (unpaid minimum wages); (2) Violation of California Labor Code §§ 1198 (unpaid overtime); (3) Violation of California Labor Code § 226.7 (unpaid meal period premiums); (4) Violation of California Labor Code § 226.7 (unpaid rest period premiums); (5) Violation of California Labor Code §§ 201 and 202 (final wages not timely paid); (6) Violation of California Labor Code § 226(a) (non-compliant wage statements); (7) Fraud; (8) Negligent Misrepresentation; (9) Breach of Contract; (10) Accounting; and (11) Violation of California Business and Professions Code §§ 17200, et seq., with the following sub-claims of (a) Failure to Pay Overtime, (b) Failure to Provide Meal Periods, (c) Failure to Provide Rest Periods, (d) Failure to Pay Minimum Wages, (e) Failure to Timely Wage Upon Termination, (f) Failure to Timely Pay Wages During Employment, (g) Failure to Keep

On August 6, 2020, the Woodings Class Action was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. On August 27, 2020, Woodings amended the Woodings Class Action to add a second plaintiff, Jodi Dormaier, representing a Washington subclass of all non-exempt FreedomRoads, LLC employees, in an amended lawsuit styled Kamela Woodings and Jodi Dormaier v. FreedomRoads, LLC (the “Amended Woodings Class Action”). The Amended Woodings Class Action alleged the following additional causes of action: Violation of Wash. Rev. Code §§ 49.46.090 and 49.46.090 (failure to pay minimum wage); Violation of Wash. Rev. Code § 49.46.130 (failure to pay overtime); Violation of Wash. Rev. Code §§ 49.12.020 (failure to provide meal breaks); Violation of Wash. Rev. Code §§ 49.12.020 (failure to provide rest breaks); Violation of Wash. Rev. Code §§ 49.48.010 (payment of wages upon termination); and Violation of Wash. Rev.

On January 18, 2021, the parties entered into a preliminary agreement to settle the Amended Woodings Class Action and the Woodings PAGA Complaint subject to the terms of a long-form settlement agreement to be executed by the parties and approval by the courts. On July 26, 2021, the parties executed the long-form settlement agreement and filed a motion seeking preliminary approval of the settlement from the court. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a reserve totaling $4.0 million for estimated losses related to this matter, which is consistent with the preliminary settlement amount.
No assurance can be made that these or similar suits will not result in a material financial exposure in excess of insurance coverage, which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, the Company is involved in other litigation arising in the normal course of business operations.

11. Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not acquire any businesses. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, subsidiaries of the Company acquired the assets of twelve RV dealerships that constituted businesses under accounting rules. The Company used cash to complete the acquisitions. The Company considers acquisitions of independent dealerships to be a fast and capital efficient alternative to opening new retail locations to expand its business and grow its customer base. The acquired businesses were recorded at their estimated fair values under the acquisition method of accounting. The balance of the purchase prices in excess of the fair values of net assets acquired were recorded as goodwill.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of various RV dealerships comprised of twelve locations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $99.0 million. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company purchased real property of $48.3 million of which $31.4 million related to the sellers of the acquired businesses.
The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions of dealerships consist of the following:

The fair values above for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are preliminary as they are subject to measurement period adjustments for up to one year from the date of acquisition as new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date relating to the valuation of the acquired assets, primarily the acquired inventories. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the fair values above represent measurement period adjustments for valuation of acquired inventories relating to dealership acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2019. The primary items that generated the goodwill are the value of the expected synergies between the acquired businesses and the Company and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualify for recognition as a separately identified intangible asset. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, acquired goodwill of $70.2 million and $0.0 million, respectively, is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2021 condensed consolidated financial results were $33.5 million of revenue, and $2.3 million of pre-tax income, respectively of the acquired dealerships from the applicable acquisition dates. Pro forma information on these acquisitions has not been included, because the Company has deemed them to not be individually or cumulatively material.
12. Income Taxes
CWH is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, as of June 30, 2021, is a 51.6% owner of CWGS, LLC (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity and Note 15 — Non-Controlling Interests). CWGS, LLC is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and as such, is generally not subject to any U.S. federal entity-level income taxes with the exception of Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc., Camping World, Inc. (“CW”), and FreedomRoads RV, Inc. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are Subchapter C corporations.
As further described in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of income tax and payroll tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no material tax impacts to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as it relates to COVID-19 measures other than the deferral of non-income-based payroll taxes under the CARES Act of $29.2 million as of June 30, 2021, of which $14.6 million were included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will continue to monitor additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and others. Furthermore, on March 11, 2021 the American Rescue Plan Act, a $1.9 trillion tax-and-spending package aimed at addressing the continuing economic and health impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, was enacted. The American Rescue Plan Act provisions do not have a material impact on the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rate.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's effective income tax rate was 10.1%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies, which are not subject to corporate level taxes, income tax benefits of $14.8 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets at CW that can now be included in state combined unitary income tax returns and $4.1 million for the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of increased state tax rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 14.2% due to a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies, which are not subject to corporate level taxes and due to CW losses for which an income tax benefit could not be recognized as a result of the full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets during that period.
The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine if they can be realized and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company determined that all of its deferred tax assets (except those of CW and the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset discussed below) are more likely than not to be realized. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of CW, excluding certain state deferred tax assets included in the state combined unitary income tax returns, since
26
it was determined that it is more likely than not, based on available objective evidence, that CW would have insufficient taxable income in the current or carryforward periods under the tax laws to realize the future tax benefits for this portion of its deferred tax assets. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset pertaining to the portion that is not amortizable for tax purposes, since the Company would likely only realize the non-amortizable portion of the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset if the investment in CWGS, LLC was divested.
The Company is party to the Tax Receivable Agreement that provides for the payment by the Company to the Continuing Equity Owners and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, the Company actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis from the purchase of common units from Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. in exchange for Class A common stock in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the related transactions and any future redemptions that are funded by the Company and any future redemptions or exchanges of common units by Continuing Equity Owners as described above and (ii) certain other tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 4,181,552 and 110,000 common units in CWGS, LLC, respectively, were exchanged for Class A common stock subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement payments due to those parties that redeemed common units, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits the Company expects to realize from the tax basis increases related to the exchange, after concluding it was probable that the Tax Receivable Agreement payments would be paid based on estimates of future taxable income. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of Tax Receivable Agreement payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $179.9 million and $145.9 million, respectively, of which $12.3 million and $8.1 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, was included in the current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Tax Receivable Agreement liability and the related Deferred Tax Assets for the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and the investment in CWGS, LLC increased $38.5 million and $45.3 million, respectively, as a result of Continuing Equity Owner’s, primarily Crestview Partners II GP, L.P., combined redemption of 4.0 million common units in CWGS, LLC for 4.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and were recorded to additional paid-in capital (see the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit)). Payments pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement relating to these redemptions would begin during the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has personally guaranteed the Lincolnshire Lease.
Other Transactions
The Company does business with certain companies in which Mr. Lemonis has a direct or indirect material interest. The Company purchased fixtures for interior store sets at the Company’s retail locations from Precise Graphix. Mr. Lemonis has had a 67% economic interest in Precise Graphix, which is currently in dispute. The Company is not a party to the dispute. The Company paid Precise Graphix $0 and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company received refunds from
27
Precise Graphix totaling $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and paid $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

14. Stockholders’ Equity
CWH has authorized preferred stock and three classes of common stock. The Class A common stock entitles the holders to receive dividends; distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company; and have voting rights. The Class B common stock and Class C common stock entitles the holders to voting rights, which in certain cases are disproportionate to the voting rights of the Class A common stock; however, the holders of Class B common stock and Class C common stock are not entitled to receive dividends or distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company.
CWH is the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and, although CWH had a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC through March 11, 2021, CWH has had and continues to have the sole voting power in, and controls the management of, CWGS, LLC. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of CWGS, LLC and reported a non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of CWGS, LLC (the “LLC Agreement”), the Continuing Equity Owners with common units in CWGS, LLC may elect to exchange or redeem the common units for newly-issued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or cash at the Company’s election, subject to certain restrictions. If the redeeming or exchanging party also holds Class B common stock, then simultaneously with the payment of cash or newly-issued shares of Class A common stock, as applicable, in connection with a redemption or exchange of common units, a number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock will be cancelled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of common units so redeemed or exchanged. As required by the LLC Agreement, the Company must, at all times, maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of common units of CWGS, LLC owned by CWH (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities).
Stock Repurchase Program
On October 30, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock, expiring on October 31, 2022. Repurchases under the program are subject to any applicable limitations on the availability of funds to be distributed to the Company by CWGS, LLC to fund repurchases and may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at the Company’s discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Board’s discretion. The Company expects to fund the repurchases using cash on hand.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 1,149,742 shares of Class A common stock under this program for approximately $45.5 million, including commissions paid, at a weighted average price per share of $39.55, which is recorded as treasury stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Class A common stock held as treasury stock is not considered outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reissued 220,499 shares of Class A common stock from treasury stock to settle the exercises of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units. As of June 30, 2021, the remaining approved amount for repurchases of Class A common stock under the share repurchase program was approximately $33.0 million.
28
On August 3, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase and extension of the stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an additional $125.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock, expiring on August 31, 2023.
15. Non-Controlling Interests
As described in Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity, CWH is the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of CWGS, LLC. The Company reports a non-controlling interest representing the common units of CWGS, LLC held by Continuing Equity Owners. Changes in CWH’s ownership interest in CWGS, LLC while CWH retains its controlling interest in CWGS, LLC will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of common units of CWGS, LLC by the Continuing Equity Owners will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when CWGS, LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. At December 31, 2020, CWGS, LLC had negative net assets, which resulted in negative non-controlling interest amounts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At the end of each period, the Company will record a non-controlling interest adjustment to additional paid-in capital such that the non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is equal to the non-controlling interest’s ownership share of the underlying CWGS, LLC net assets (see the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit)).
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 88,113,933 and 89,043,176 common units of CWGS, LLC outstanding, respectively, of which CWH owned 45,478,698 and 42,226,389 common units of CWGS, LLC, respectively, representing 51.6% and 47.4% ownership interests in CWGS, LLC, respectively, and the Continuing Equity Owners owned 42,635,235 and 46,816,787 common units of CWGS, LLC, respectively, representing 48.4% and 52.6% ownership interests in CWGS, LLC, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Crestview redeemed 4.0 million common units of CWGS, LLC in exchange for 4.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which also resulted in the cancellation of 4.0 million shares of the Company’s Class B common stock that was previously held by Crestview with no additional consideration provided.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report, Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q and in other parts of this Form 10-Q. Except to the extent that differences among reportable segments are material to an understanding of our business taken as a whole, we present the discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on a consolidated basis.
For purposes of this Form 10-Q, we define an "Active Customer" as a customer who has transacted with us in any of the eight most recently completed fiscal quarters prior to the date of measurement. Unless otherwise indicated, the date of measurement is June 30, 2021, our most recently completed fiscal quarter.
Overview
Camping World Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is America’s largest retailer of recreational RVs and related products and services. Our vision is to build a long-term legacy business that makes RVing fun and easy, and our Camping World and Good Sam brands have been serving RV consumers since 1966. We strive to build long-term value for our customers, employees, and shareholders by combining a unique and comprehensive assortment of RV products and services with a national network of RV dealerships, service centers and customer support centers along with the industry’s most extensive online presence and a highly-trained and knowledgeable team of associates serving our customers, the RV lifestyle, and the communities in which we operate. We also believe that our Good Sam organization and family of programs and services uniquely enables us to connect with our customers as stewards of the RV lifestyle. On June 30, 2021, we operated a total of 187 retail locations, with 186 of these selling and/or servicing RVs. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
With the COVID-19 crisis (see “COVID-19” below) causing many state and local governments to issue “stay-at-home” and “shelter-in-place” restrictions in mid-to-late March 2020, sales and traffic levels across the RV industry declined significantly in March 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many RV manufacturers, including Thor Industries, Forest River, Inc., and Winnebago Industries, temporarily suspended production from late March to mid-May 2020. This led to a 44.6% decrease in wholesale shipments of new RVs for the three month period of March, April, and May 2020, according to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers. The Company had taken steps to add new private label lines, expand its relationships with smaller RV manufacturers, and acquire used inventory to help manage risks in its supply chain. In conjunction with the stay-at-home and shelter-in-place restrictions enacted in many areas, the Company saw significant sequential declines in its overall customer traffic levels and its overall revenues from the mid-March to mid-to-late April 2020 timeframe. In the latter part of April 2020, the Company began to see significant improvements in its online web traffic levels and number of electronic leads, and in early May 2020, the Company began to see improvements in its overall revenue levels. As the stay-at-home restrictions began to ease across certain areas of the country, the Company experienced significant acceleration in its in-store and online traffic, lead generation, and revenue trends in May 2020 continuing into the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
On September 15, 2020, we announced a number of initiatives heading into 2021, including plans to launch a peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace, and a mobile RV technician marketplace, as well as plans to acquire RV dealerships. These initiatives continue to keep RVs as the focal point while expanding our value proposition to the customer and, in particular, to our 2.2 million active Good Sam members. See “Liquidity and
34
Capital Resources” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the expected cash requirements in 2021 for dealership acquisitions. The cash expenditures relating to the development of the peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace and mobile RV technician marketplace are not expected to be material.
The peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace, which is branded as Good Sam RV Rentals, can be accessed at RVRentals.com. The platform will seamlessly connect owners and renters to maximize the owner’s return on investment while allowing the renter to pay less money and experience the RV lifestyle first-hand. The website soft launched with full functionality to book and rent RVs in July 2021 and the full nationwide launch is expected during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Segments
We have the following two reportable segments: (i) Good Sam Services and Plans, and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. See Note 18 — Segment Information to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
COVID-19
As discussed in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our business from mid-March through much of April 2020, but shifted to a favorable impact beginning primarily in May 2020.
In response to the pandemic, we implemented preparedness plans to keep our employees and customers safe, which include social distancing, providing employees with face coverings and/or other protective clothing as required, implemented additional cleaning and sanitization routines, and work-from-home orders for a significant portion of our workforce. The majority of our retail locations continued to operate as essential businesses and consequently remained open to serve our customers through the pandemic, and we continued to operate our e-commerce business. In addition to reducing marketing expenses, we temporarily reduced salaries and hours throughout the Company, including for our executive officers, and implemented headcount and other cost reductions primarily from the middle of March 2020 through the middle of May 2020. Most of these temporary salary and hourly reductions ended in May 2020 as the adverse economic impacts of the pandemic began to decline. In July 2021, we began transitioning many of our employees from work-from-home schedules to a return to our offices.
In conjunction with the stay-at-home and shelter-in-place restrictions enacted in many areas, we saw significant sequential declines in overall customer traffic levels and overall revenues from the mid-March to mid-to-late April 2020 timeframe. In the latter part of April 2020, we began to see a significant improvement in online web traffic levels, and in early May 2020, we began to see improvements in overall revenue levels. As the stay-at-home restrictions began to ease across certain areas of the country, we experienced significant acceleration in our in-store traffic and revenue trends in May of 2020 continuing into the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
We have been implementing marketing and operational plans to optimize our leadership position through the pandemic, regardless of the ultimate timing and slope of the recovery curve. We have adapted our sales practices to accommodate customers’ safety concerns in this COVID-19 environment, such as offering virtual tours of RVs and providing home delivery options. Historically, most of our consumer shows and events took place during the first quarter. As a consequence of COVID-19, we held no in-person consumer shows during the first six months of 2021, held fewer in-person consumer shows and events during 2020 than in 2019 and we debuted our first virtual show in 2020.
35
As other modes of transportation and vacation options recover from the impact of COVID-19, the increased demand for our products may not be sustained. We are unable to accurately quantify the future impact that COVID-19 may have on our business, results of operations and liquidity due to numerous uncertainties, including the impact of COVID-19 variants; the duration of the pandemic, including additional waves of infection or the spread of new variants; the effectiveness of vaccines against COVID-19 variants and the willingness of a sufficient proportion of the public to receive the vaccine; the economic impact of the pandemic; actions that may be taken by governmental authorities; and other as yet unanticipated consequences. In addition, there could be weakening demand for items that are not basic goods, and our supply chain could be disrupted in the future as a result of the outbreak, such as if Thor Industries, Inc. were to again close its North American production facilities as it did from late March to early May 2020. Any of these events could have a materially adverse impact on our operating results.
Industry Trends
After several years of strong growth, the overall RV industry experienced decelerating demand for new vehicles in 2018 and 2019. Along with the decelerating demand trends, wholesale shipments of new RV vehicles declined 16.0% in 2019 according to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers. In late 2019, the demand for new RVs across the overall RV industry began improving. Wholesale shipments of new RVs increased 13.2% in the first two months of 2020 according to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers. With the COVID-19 crisis causing many state and local governments to issue “stay-at-home” and “shelter-in-place” restrictions in mid-to-late March, sales and traffic levels across the RV industry declined significantly in April 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many RV manufacturers, including Thor Industries, Forest River, Inc., and Winnebago Industries, temporarily suspended production from late March to mid-May. This led to a 44.6% decrease in wholesale shipments of new RVs for the three month period of March, April, and May 2020, according to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers.
The RV industry posted record shipments in both the third and fourth quarters of 2020, according to the RV Industry Association. Wholesale shipments of RVs for the second half of 2020 increased 34.2% over the comparable period in 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020 total RV shipments increased 6.0% versus the comparable period in 2019, with the travel trailer group showing the largest increase. Wholesale shipments for the second quarter of 2021 were 151,760 units, a new record for RV shipments for any quarter. Shipments for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 70.5% over the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Thor Industries, our largest supplier of RVs, announced in their Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 30, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2021 that their North American RV order backlog had increased substantially, and also announced that they had experienced supply constraints and shortages of various RV component parts as a result of the current market conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic, which they attempt to minimize, when possible, by identifying alternate suppliers. These potential supply constraints are not unique to Thor Industries as suppliers in the RV industry attempt to meet the high demand for RV products, as described above, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created a shortage of RV new unit inventory. In light of this shortage, as discussed above, we have taken steps to add new private label lines, expand our relationships with smaller RV manufacturers, and increased our focus on acquiring used inventory to help manage risks in our supply chain.
Strategic Shift
In 2019, we made a strategic decision to refocus our business around our core RV competencies. See Note 4 — Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Our Corporate Structure Impact on Income Taxes
Our corporate structure is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure and typically results in a different relationship between income (loss) before income taxes and income tax expense than would be experienced by most public companies with a more traditional corporate structure. More traditional structures are typically comprised predominately of Subchapter C corporations and/or lacking significant non-controlling interests with holdings through limited liability companies or partnerships. Typically, most of our income tax expense is
36
recorded at the CWH level, our public holding company, based on its allocation of taxable income from CWGS, LLC.
More specifically, as discussed in Note 12 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, CWH is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, as of June 30, 2021, is a 51.6% owner of CWGS, LLC (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity and Note 15 — Non-Controlling Interests to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). CWGS, LLC is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and, as such is generally not subject to any U.S. federal entity-level income taxes (“Pass-Through”), with the exception of Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc., Camping World, Inc. (“CW”), and FreedomRoads RV, Inc. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are Subchapter C corporations (“C-Corp”) embedded within the CWGS, LLC structure.
CWH receives an allocation of its share of the net income (loss) of CWGS, LLC based on CWH’s weighted-average ownership of CWGS, LLC for the period. CWH recognizes income tax expense on its pre-tax income including its portion of this income allocation from CWGS, LLC primarily relating to Pass-Through entities. The income tax relating to the net income (loss) of CWGS, LLC allocated to CWH that relates to separately taxed C-Corp entities is recorded at CWGS, LLC. No income tax expense is recognized by the Company for the portion of net income (loss) of CWGS, LLC allocated to non-controlling interest other than income tax expense recorded by CWGS, LLC. Rather, tax distributions are paid to the non-controlling interest holders which are recorded as distributions to holders of LLC common units in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. CWH is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of CWGS, LLC and is taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company used effective income tax rate assumptions of 25.5% and 25.0%, respectively, for income adjustments applicable to CWH when calculating the adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. ─ basic and diluted (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q). CWGS, LLC may be liable for various other state and local taxes.
The following table presents the allocation of CWGS, LLC’s net income (loss) to CWH between C-Corp and Pass-Through, the allocation of CWGS, LLC’s net income (loss) to non-controlling interests, income tax expense recognized by CWH, and other items:

Total revenue was $2.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $455.1 million, or 28.3%, from $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in total revenue was driven by a $452.7 million, or 29.0%, increase in RV and Outdoor Retail revenue, and a $2.4 million, or 5.4%, increase in Good Sam Services and Plans revenue.
Total gross profit was $759.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $271.2 million, or 55.5%, from $488.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in total gross profit was driven by a $270.8 million, or 58.9%, increase in RV and Outdoor Retail gross profit, and a $0.4 million, or 1.5%, increase in Good Sam Services and Plans gross profit.
Income from operations was $305.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $101.6 million from a $203.3 million income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a $271.2 million increase in gross profit, a $0.9 million decrease in lease termination expense, and a $0.3 million decrease in loss on disposal of assets, partially offset by a $160.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, a $9.0 million increase in debt restructure expense, an increase in long-lived asset impairment of $0.5 million, and a $0.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization.
Total other expenses were $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 15.8%, from $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in other expenses was primarily driven by a $1.7 million decrease in floor plan interest expense and a $2.8 million decrease in other interest expense, partially offset by a $1.4 million loss on debt restructure.
As a result of the above factors, income before income taxes was $288.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a $183.7 million income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Income tax expense was $42.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $21.9 million from $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. As a result, net income was $246.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net income of $163.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Good Sam Services and Plans
Good Sam Services and Plans revenue increased 5.4%, or $2.4 million, to $46.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $44.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase from roadside assistance programs primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, a $1.3 million increase in Good Sam TravelAssist revenue primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, a $0.8 million increase from our Good Sam Insurance Agency primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, and a $0.2 million increase from other services and plans, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease from the extended warranty insurance programs primarily due to elimination of low margin programs, and $0.7 million from reduced magazine and directory ad sales.
Good Sam Services and Plans gross profit increased 1.5%, or $0.4 million, to $29.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $29.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, and gross margin decreased to 63.4% from 65.8% in the same respective periods. The increase was due to a $1.0 million increase from the Good Sam TravelAssist programs and a $0.6 million increase from the Good Sam Insurance Agency, both primarily due to increased contracts in force, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease from our magazine and directory group, and a $0.4 million increase from other overhead costs. Gross margin decreased 241 basis points to 63.4% primarily due to increased roadside assistance claims costs in 2021 resulting from reduced travel in the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 and increased expenditure for wages and
40
marketing costs in 2021 resulting from management’s decision to curtail marketing and salary expense during April and May of 2020 (see “COVID-19” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q).
RV and Outdoor Retail
New Vehicles
New vehicle revenue increased 17.9%, or $160.6 million, to $1.1 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $898.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a 22.3% increase in average selling price per vehicle sold, driven by price increases in all product types due to continued record demand outpacing manufacturer production, partially offset by a 3.6% decrease in new vehicles sold. On a same store basis, new vehicle revenue increased 8.0% to $958.1 million and new vehicle units decreased 12.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.
New vehicle gross profit increased 106.5%, or $155.1 million, to $300.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $145.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to a 114.3% increase in average gross profit per vehicle sold, partially offset by a 3.6% decrease in vehicles sold. New vehicle gross margin increased 1,219 basis points to 28.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 16.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to a sale mix shift towards higher margin towable units, along with average sales price increases driven by record demand.
Used Vehicles
Used vehicle revenue increased 67.4%, or $185.2 million, to $460.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $274.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a 35.8% increase in average selling price per vehicle and a 23.2% increase in vehicles sold, driven by increases in nearly all product types as lower new vehicle inventory levels have driven an increase in demand for used vehicles. On a same store basis, used vehicle revenue increased 56.5% to $425.4 million and used vehicle units increased 13.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Used vehicle gross profit increased 89.6%, or $59.2 million, to $125.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $66.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to a 53.9% increase in average gross profit per vehicle, and a 23.2% increase in vehicle units sold. Used vehicle gross margin increased 320 basis points to 27.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 24.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was driven by strong demand in the used vehicle market across nearly all product types, and our focus on sourcing used inventory to meet that demand.
Products, service and other
Products, service and other revenue increased 32.2%, or $74.4 million, to $305.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $231.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increased vehicle sales, which resulted in an increase in RV parts and accessory sales. On a same store basis, products, service and other revenue increased 24.8% to $214.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $171.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Products, service and other gross profit increased 25.9%, or $23.8 million, to $115.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $91.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was driven by increased volume of products sold and improved margins. Products, service and other gross margin decreased 189 basis points to 37.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 39.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to promotions and discounts within certain product categories due to a change in product mix.
41
Finance and Insurance, net
Finance and insurance revenue and gross profit is recorded net, since the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction, and commission is recognized when a finance and insurance product contract payment has been received or financing has been arranged. Finance and insurance, net revenue increased 20.6%, or $30.4 million, to $177.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $147.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to increased used vehicles sold. Finance and insurance, net as a percentage of new and used vehicle revenue decreased to 11.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 12.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, driven by the increase in average RV sales prices as a percent of total loan value. On a same store basis, finance and insurance, net increased 11.7%, or $17.0 million, to $162.9 million versus the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Good Sam Club
Good Sam Club revenue increased 19.7%, or $2.1 million, to $12.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $10.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase primarily resulted from a $1.2 million increase in revenue from Good Sam Club memberships, and a $0.9 million increase in marketing fee revenue from Good Sam Club co-branded credit cards resulting from increased open accounts.
Good Sam Club gross profit increased 27.4%, or $2.3 million, to $10.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $8.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased Good Sam Club memberships, increased marketing fee revenue from Good Sam Club co-branded credit cards and reduced marketing expenses for the Good Sam Club. Good Sam Club gross margin increased to 85.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 80.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to a shift in product mix to more higher margin credit card revenue and Good Sam Club margin improvement.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 59.2%, or $160.7 million, to $432.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $271.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The $160.7 million increase was primarily due to a $121.0 million increase in wage-related expenses attributable in large part to variable pay on increased gross profit for the three months ended June 30 2021 and the reduction in salaries relating to our initial response to COVID-19 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 (see “COVID-19” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q), a $20.8 million increase in selling expenses mainly driven by increased advertising versus the prior year, a $10.6 million increase in other store and corporate overhead expenses, a $6.0 million increase in occupancy expenses, and a $2.3 million increase in professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total gross profit increased to 56.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2021, from 55.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased 3.8%, or $0.5 million, to $13.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $12.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to increased purchases of property and equipment.
Long-lived asset impairment
As discussed in Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, we recognized $0.5 million of long-lived asset impairments during the three months ended June 30, 2021 which related to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.
Lease termination
Lease termination expense of $0 million and $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, related primarily to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.
42
Floor plan interest expense
Floor plan interest expense decreased 33.9%, or $1.7 million, to $3.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $5.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 48 basis point decrease in the average floor plan borrowing rate, and a 19.3% decrease in average floor plan borrowings driven by lower average new unit inventory levels.
Other interest expense, net
Other interest expense decreased 19.0%, or $2.8 million, to $11.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $14.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 80 basis point decrease in the Term Loan Facility average interest rate, and to a lesser extent, reduced borrowing.
Loss and expense on debt restructure
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, loss and expense on debt restructure of $10.4 million was comprised of $0.4 million in extinguishment of the original issue discount related to the Previous Term Loan Facility, $1.0 million in extinguishment of capitalized finance costs related to the Previous Term Loan Facility, and $9.0 million in legal and other expenses related to the New Term Loan Facility.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense increased $21.9 million to $42.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to both higher income generated and an increase in ownership interest in CWGS, LLC for which the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes on its allocable share and lower operating losses recorded by CW for which limited tax benefit can be recognized.
Net income
Net income increased $82.9 million to a net income of $246.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from a net income of $163.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change was primarily due to the items mentioned above.

Good Sam Services and Plans
Good Sam Services and Plans segment revenue increased 5.1%, or $2.3 million, to $47.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $44.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase from roadside assistance programs primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, a $1.3 million increase in Good Sam TravelAssist revenue primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, a $0.8 million increase from our Good Sam Insurance Agency primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, and a $0.2 million increase from other services and plans, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease from the extended warranty insurance programs primarily due to elimination of low margin programs, and an $0.8 million reduction in magazine and directory ad sales.
Good Sam Services and Plans segment income decreased 5.6%, or $1.4 million, to $23.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $24.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in selling general and administrative expenses, a $0.8 million gross profit decrease from our magazine and directory group, and increased other overhead costs of $0.4 million, partially offset by a $1.0 million gross profit increase from the Good Sam TravelAssist programs, and a $0.6 million increase from the Good Sam Insurance Agency, both primarily due to increased contracts in force. Segment income margin net of intersegment revenue elimination decreased 577 basis points to 49.5% primarily due to increased roadside assistance claims costs in 2021 resulting from reduced travel in the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19, and increased expenditure for wages and marketing costs in 2021 resulting from management’s decision to curtail marketing and salary expense during April and May of 2020 (see “COVID-19” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q).
RV and Outdoor Retail
RV and Outdoor Retail segment revenue increased 29.0%, or $455.1 million, to $2.0 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.6 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a $185.5 million, or 67.3%, increase in used vehicle revenue, a $160.8 million, or 17.9%, increase in new vehicle revenue, a $74.6 million, or 32.2%, increase in products, service and other revenue, a $32.1 million, or 21.4%, increase in finance and insurance, net revenue, and a $2.1 million, or 19.7%, increase in Good Sam Club revenue.
RV and Outdoor Retail segment income increased 60.6%, or $114.2 million, to a segment income of $302.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from a segment income of $188.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily related to increased segment gross profit of $270.8 million primarily due to increased volume of used vehicles sold, increased revenue per vehicle sold and increased gross profit per vehicle sold, a $1.7 million reduction in floor plan interest expense, a $0.8 million reduction in lease termination expense, and a $0.3 million reduction in loss on asset disposal, partially offset by a $158.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, and a $0.5 million increase in long-lived asset impairment. RV and Outdoor Retail segment margin increased to 15.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 12.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Corporate and other expenses
Corporate and other expenses decreased 1.2%, or less than $0.1 million, to $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily from reduced professional fees.

The decrease was primarily attributable to a $6.4 million decrease due to no in-person consumer shows being held during the 2021 period due to COVID-19, a $2.2 million decrease from the extended warranty insurance programs primarily due to elimination of low margin programs, a $1.2 million decrease from reduced magazine ad sales as a result of combining two magazines into one, and a $0.3 million decrease from other services and plans, partially offset by a $3.0 million increase from roadside assistance programs primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, a $1.9 million increase in Good Sam TravelAssist revenue primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, and a $1.2 million increase from Good Sam Insurance Agency primarily resulting from increased contracts in force.

New Vehicles
New vehicle revenue increased 34.8%, or $485.3 million, to $1.9 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.4 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to a 15.1% increase in vehicle units sold and a 17.1% increase in average selling price per vehicle sold, driven by increases in nearly all product types due to continued record demand outpacing manufacturer production. On a same store basis, new vehicle revenue increased 26.1% to $1.7 billion and new vehicle units increased 7.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The increase was due to a 92.3% increase in average gross profit per vehicle sold and a 15.1% increase in vehicle units sold. New vehicle gross margin increased 995 basis points to 25.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 15.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The increase was primarily due to a 29.1% increase in average selling price per vehicle and a 21.4% increase in vehicle units sold, driven by increases in nearly all product types as lower new inventory levels have driven an increase in demand for used vehicles. On a same store basis, used vehicle revenue increased 48.7% to $704.9 million and used vehicle units increased 14.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Used vehicle gross margin increased 341 basis points to 26.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 22.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was driven by strong demand in the used vehicle market across nearly all product types, and our focus on sourcing used inventory to meet that demand.
Products, service and other
Products, service and other revenue increased 37.9%, or $153.0 million, to $556.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $403.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

On a same store basis, products, service and other revenue increased 28.0% to $381.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $298.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Products, service and other gross profit increased 38.0%, or $58.5 million, to $212.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $154.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was driven by increased volume of products sold and improved margins. Products, service and other gross margin increased 2 basis points to 38.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Finance and Insurance, net
Finance and insurance revenue and gross profit is recorded net, since the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction, and commission is recognized when a finance and insurance product contract payment has been received or financing has been arranged. Finance and insurance, net increased 31.8%, or $76.2 million, to $315.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $239.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to increased vehicles sold. Finance and insurance, net as a percentage of new and used vehicle revenue decreased to 12.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 12.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, driven by the increase in average RV sales price as a percent of total loan value.
48
On a same store basis, finance and insurance, net increased 23.9%, or $56.5 million, to $292.8 million versus the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Good Sam Club
Good Sam Club revenue increased 10.4%, or $2.2 million, to $23.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $21.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase primarily resulted from a $1.3 million increase in marketing fee revenue from Good Sam Club co-branded credit cards resulting from increased open accounts and a $0.9 million revenue increase primarily due to increased Good Sam Club memberships.
Good Sam Club gross profit increased 16.7%, or $2.9 million, to $20.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $17.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased Good Sam Club memberships with reduced marketing expenses, and increased marketing fee revenue from Good Sam Club co-branded credit cards. Good Sam Club gross margin increased to 84.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 79.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 42.7%, or $230.0 million, to $769.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $539.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $230.0 million increase was primarily due to a $180.3 million increase in wage-related expenses attributable in large part to variable pay on increased gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the reduction in salaries relating to our initial response to COVID-19 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 (see “COVID-19” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q), a $29.0 million increase in selling expenses mainly driven by branding and other marketing spend reductions made at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a $10.8 million increase in other store and corporate overhead expenses, and a $9.9 million increase in occupancy expenses primarily relating to the 22 dealerships opened over the last twelve months. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total gross profit decreased to 60.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2021, from 68.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased 3.4%, or $0.9 million, to $25.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $26.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to the adjustment of the useful lives for fixtures within our retail locations relating to discontinued products that resulted in additional depreciation during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Long-lived asset impairment
As discussed in Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, we recognized $1.1 million of long-lived asset impairments during the six months ended June 30, 2021, which related to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above, and $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, of which $6.5 million related to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.
Lease termination
Lease termination expense of $1.8 million and $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, related primarily to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.
Floor plan interest expense
Floor plan interest expense decreased 50.7%, or $6.9 million, to $6.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $13.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 113 basis point decrease in the average floor plan borrowing rate, and a 25.1% decrease in average floor plan borrowings driven by lower average new unit inventory levels.
49
Other interest expense, net
Other interest expense decreased 17.8%, or $5.2 million, to $24.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $29.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 78 basis point decrease in the Term Loan Facility average interest rate.
Loss and expense on debt restructure
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, loss and expense on debt restructure of $10.4 million was comprised of $0.4 million in extinguishment of the original issue discount related to the Previous Term Loan Facility, $1.0 million in extinguishment of capitalized finance costs related to the Previous Term Loan Facility, and $9.0 million in legal and other expenses related to the New Term Loan Facility.
Tax Receivable Agreement Liability adjustment
The Tax Receivable Agreement Liability adjustment of $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to a remeasurement during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to reflect an increase in state tax rates.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense increased $19.8 million to $44.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to both higher income generated and an increase in ownership interest in CWGS, LLC for which the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes on its allocable share and lower operating losses recorded by CW for which limited tax benefit can be recognized, partially offset by the $14.8 million release of valuation allowance at CW which is now available to offset state combined income in certain unitary states due to the Company’s increased ownership in CWGS, LLC and a $4.1 million benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of increased state tax rates. The valuation allowance release during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is attributable to the change in the entities within state combined filing groups due to unitary relationships, which provide additional taxable income sources to utilize CW’s deferred tax assets. CWH’s increased ownership in CWGS, LLC and other qualitative unity factors impacted the unitary relationships.
Net income
Net income increased $244.4 million to a net income of $393.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from a net income of $149.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The change was primarily due to the items mentioned above.

Good Sam Services and Plans
Good Sam Services and Plans segment revenue decreased 5.9%, or $5.5 million, to $87.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $93.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $7.8 million decrease due to no in-person consumer shows being held during the 2021 period due to COVID-19, a $2.2 million decrease from the extended warranty insurance programs primarily due to elimination of low margin programs, a $1.3 million decrease from reduced magazine ad sales as a result of combining two magazines into one, and a $0.3 million decrease from other services and plans, partially offset by a $3.0 million increase from roadside assistance programs primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, a $1.9 million increase in Good Sam TravelAssist revenue primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, and a $1.2 million increase from Good Sam Insurance Agency primarily resulting from increased contracts in force.
Good Sam Services and Plans segment income decreased 3.4%, or $1.5 million, to $44.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $45.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to a $3.1 million increase in selling general and administrative expenses, a $3.0 million decrease from no in-person consumer shows during the 2021 period due to COVID-19, a $0.9 million reduction from the annual directory, a $0.5 million reduction from the magazine group, and a $0.5 million decrease from other services and plans, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase from the roadside assistance programs primarily due to increased contracts in force, a $1.8 million increase from the Good Sam TravelAssist programs, a $1.0 million increase from the Good Sam Insurance Agency, a $0.9 million increase from the extended vehicle warranty programs, and a $0.9 million reduction in other program costs. Segment income margin net of intersegment revenue elimination increased 49 basis points to 50.6% primarily due to fewer in-person consumer shows during six months ended June 30, 2021, increased Good Sam TravelAssist and extended vehicle warranty gross margin, and reduced program costs.
RV and Outdoor Retail
RV and Outdoor Retail segment revenue increased 38.9%, or $1.0 billion, to $3.5 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $2.6 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a $486.1 million, or 34.8%, increase in new vehicle revenue, a $273.3 million, or 56.6%,
51
increase in used vehicle revenue, a $153.2 million, or 37.9%, increase in products, service and other revenue, a $79.3 million, or 32.4%, increase in finance and insurance, net revenue, and a $2.2 million, or 10.4%, increase in Good Sam Club revenue.
RV and Outdoor Retail segment income increased $273.1 million, or 144.9%, to a segment income of $461.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $188.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily related to increased segment gross profit of $487.5 million primarily due to increased volume of vehicles sold and increased gross profit per unit sold, a $5.5 million reduction in long-lived asset impairment, a $6.9 million reduction in floor plan interest expense, and a $0.9 million reduction in loss on asset disposal, partially offset by a $227.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, and a $0.3 million increase in lease termination expense. RV and Outdoor Retail segment margin increased to 13.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 7.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Corporate and other expenses
Corporate and other expenses decreased 8.3%, or $0.4 million, to $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily from reduced professional fees.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Diluted (collectively the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"). We believe that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics we use in our financial and operational decision making. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by any items adjusted for in these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In evaluating these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of those adjusted in this presentation. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures that we use are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define “EBITDA” as net income (loss) before other interest expense, net (excluding floor plan interest expense), provision for income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, loss and expense on debt restructure, long-lived asset impairment, lease termination loss, gains and losses on disposal of assets, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the 2019 Strategic Shift, and other unusual or one-time items. We define “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our
52
performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.
The following table reconciles EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measures, which are net income and net income margin, respectively:

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
We define “Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic” as net income (loss) attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, loss and expense on debt restructure, long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, gains and losses on disposal of assets, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the 2019 Strategic Shift, other unusual or one-time items, the income tax expense effect of these adjustments, and the effect of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from these adjustments.
We define “Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic adjusted for the reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from stock options and restricted stock units, if dilutive, or the assumed exchange, if dilutive, of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for shares of newly-issued Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc.
We define “Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Basic” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. - Basic divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. We define “Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Diluted” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (i) the exchange of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc., if dilutive, and (ii) the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units, if any. We present Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Diluted because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

(a) | Represents the loss and expense incurred on debt restructure and financing expense, which is comprised of $0.4 million in extinguishment of the original issue discount and $1.0 million in extinguishment of capitalized finance costs related to the Previous Term Loan Facility, and $9.0 million in legal and other expenses related to the New Term Loan Facility. See Note 6 – Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information. |
(b) | Represents the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit effect of the above adjustments, many of which are related to entities with full valuation allowances for which no tax benefit can be currently recognized. This assumption uses an effective tax rate of 25.5% and 25.0% for the adjustments for the 2021 and 2020 periods, respectively, which represents the estimated tax rate that would apply had the above adjustments been included in the determination of our non-GAAP metric. |
(c) | Represents long-lived asset impairment charges related to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, which primarily relate to locations affected by the 2019 Strategic Shift. See Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information. |
(d) | Represents the loss on termination of operating leases, relating primarily to the 2019 Strategic Shift, resulting from the lease termination fees and the derecognition of the operating lease assets and liabilities. See Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information. |
(e) | Represents an adjustment to eliminate the gains and losses on disposals and sales of various assets. |
(f) | Represents non-cash equity-based compensation expense relating to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. |
(g) | Represents an adjustment to eliminate the loss on remeasurement of the Tax Receivable Agreement primarily due to changes in our blended statutory income tax rate. See Note 12 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. |
(h) | Represents restructuring costs relating to our 2019 Strategic Shift. These restructuring costs include one-time employee termination benefits relating to retail store or distribution center closures/divestitures, incremental inventory reserve charges, and other associated costs. These costs exclude lease termination costs, which are presented separately above. See Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information. |
(i) | Represents the adjustment to net income attributable to non-controlling interests resulting from the above adjustments that impact the net income of CWGS, LLC. This adjustment uses the non-controlling interest’s weighted average ownership of CWGS, LLC of 48.4% and 57.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 49.7% and 57.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. |
(j) | Represents the reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from the impact of the assumed change in ownership of CWGS, LLC from stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC. |
(k) | Represents the income tax expense effect of the above adjustment for reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests. This assumption uses an effective tax rate of 25.5% and 25.0% for the adjustments for the 2021 and 2020 periods, respectively. |
(l) | Typically represents adjustments to reflect the income tax benefit of losses of consolidated C-corporations that under the Company’s current equity structure cannot be used against the income of other consolidated subsidiaries of CWGS, LLC. However, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, this adjustment included the reversal of the $0.1 million expense and $14.8 million benefit, respectively, from changes in the valuation allowance for Camping World, Inc. Subsequent to the exchange of all common units in CWGS, LLC, the Company believes certain actions could be taken such that the C-corporations’ losses could offset income of other consolidated subsidiaries. The adjustment reflects the income tax benefit assuming effective tax rate of 25.5% and 25.0% during the 2021 and 2020 periods, respectively, for the losses experienced by the consolidated C-corporations for which valuation allowances have been recorded. No assumed release of valuation allowance established for previous periods were included in these amounts and the $14.8 million release of valuation allowance during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was considered to be reversed and excluded from adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – diluted for purposes of this calculation. |

Uses and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management and our board of directors use the Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
● | as a measurement of operating performance because they assist us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations; |
● | for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections; |
● | to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and |
● | to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business. |
By providing these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. In addition, our Senior Secured Credit Facilities use adjusted EBITDA to measure our compliance with covenants such as the consolidated leverage ratio. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as indicators of financial performance. Some of the limitations are:
● | such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
● | such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
● | some of such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
● | some of such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; |
● | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and |
● | other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. |
Due to these limitations, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these Non-GAAP Financial Measures only supplementally. As noted in the tables above, certain of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures include adjustments for loss and expense on debt restructure, long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, gains and loss on disposal of assets, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability, restructuring costs related to the 2019 Strategic Shift, other unusual or one-time items, and the income tax expense effect described above, as applicable. It is reasonable to expect that certain of these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments
57
and other adjustments described in this paragraph and in the reconciliation tables above help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital have been working capital, inventory management, acquiring and building new retail locations, the improvement and expansion of existing retail locations, debt service, distributions to holders of equity interests in CWGS, LLC and our Class A common stock, and general corporate needs. These cash requirements have historically been met through cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from registered offerings of our Class A common stock, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below), borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility (as defined below) and borrowings under our Real Estate Facility (as defined below).
As a public company, our additional liquidity needs include public company costs, payment of regular and special cash dividends, any exercise of the redemption right by the Continuing Equity Owners from time to time (should we elect to exchange common units for a cash payment), our stock repurchase program as described below, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and state and federal taxes to the extent not reduced as a result of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their common units remain outstanding. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary, we expect that the payments that we will be required to make to the Continuing Equity Owners, Former Profit Unit Holders and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. will be significant. Any payments made by us to Continuing Equity Owners, Former Profit Unit Holders and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or to CWGS, LLC and, to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us; provided, however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore may accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For a discussion of the Tax Receivable Agreement, see Note 12 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
On October 30, 2020, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our Class A common stock, expiring on October 31, 2022. Repurchases under the program are subject to any applicable limitations on the availability of funds to be distributed to the Company by CWGS, LLC to fund the repurchase and may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at our discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of our shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Board’s discretion. We expect to fund the repurchases using cash on hand. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 1,149,742 shares of our Class A common stock for $45.5 million, including broker commissions. As of June 30, 2021, $33.0 million is available under the stock repurchase program to repurchase additional shares of our Class A common stock. On August 3, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized an increase and extension of the stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an additional $125.0 million of our Class A common stock, expiring on August 31, 2023.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we paid a regular quarterly cash dividend on our Class A common stock of $0.25 per share, which was funded with a $0.10 per common unit cash distribution from CWGS, LLC and the remainder funded with all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution (as defined under “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report). CWGS, LLC is required to make cash distributions in accordance with the CWGS LLC Agreement in an amount sufficient for us to pay any expenses
58
incurred by us in connection with the regular quarterly cash dividend, along with any of our other operating expenses and other obligations. Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations, particularly with respect to liquidity, and we may not pay dividends according to our policy, or at all.
As described above, CWGS, LLC intends to make a regular quarterly cash distribution to its common unit holders, including us, and we intend to use all of the proceeds from such distribution on our common units to pay a portion of our regular quarterly cash dividend on our Class A common stock, subject to our discretion as the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and the discretion of our board of directors. On April 29, 2021, our board of directors approved the increase of the portion of the quarterly dividend funded by these quarterly cash distributions from CWGS, LLC to $0.10 per share of Class A common stock from $0.09 per share, which had previously been raised to $0.09 per share from $0.08 per share on July 20, 2020.
Additionally, as described above, we currently intend to pay a portion of our regular quarterly cash dividend with all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution to the holders of our Class A common stock subject to the discretion of our board of directors as described under “Dividend Policy” in our Annual Report. Prior to 2021, this portion of our dividend relating to all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution was referred to as a special dividend. On April 29, 2021, our board of directors increased the quarterly cash dividend relating to all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution to $0.15 per share of Class A common stock from $0.14 per share. The quarterly cash dividend relating to all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution had previously been raised to $0.14 per share from $0.08 per share on September 17, 2020, beginning with the three months ended December 31, 2020, and also previously raised to $0.08 per share from $0.0732 per share on July 20, 2020.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we acquired twelve dealerships totaling $99.0 million (see Note 11 – Acquisitions to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) and purchased $48.3 million of real property. We expect to purchase in excess of $30.0 million of real property during the second half of 2021. Factors that could impact the quantity of future locations or the cost to acquire or open those locations include, but are not limited to, our ability to locate potential acquisition targets or greenfield locations in a geographic area and at a cost that meet our success criteria; continued strong cash flow generation from our operations to fund these acquisitions and new locations; and availability of financing on our Floor Plan Facility.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred long-lived asset impairment charges of $1.1 million related to the 2019 Strategic Shift. We expect that none of the foregoing charges will result in future cash expenditures. Additionally, in connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift, we have incurred or expect to incur costs relating to one-time employee termination benefits of $1.2 million, lease termination costs of between $18.0 million and $35.0 million, incremental inventory reserve charges of $42.4 million, and other associated costs of $31.0 million to $34.0 million. We expect that approximately $3.8 million to $6.8 million of other associated costs and $4.5 million to $21.5 million of lease termination costs will result in future cash expenditures. For a discussion of the 2019 Strategic Shift, see Note 4 — Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
There is significant uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and cash flows. As a result, we initially took proactive steps to increase cash available on-hand, including, but not limited to, reducing cash expenditures, including wage reductions through a combination of temporary salary reductions, layoffs, and furloughs; negotiating payment deferrals with lessors; reducing marketing and promotional expenses; and delaying strategic capital expenditures. As demand for our products accelerated and our cash position improved, most of the temporary salary reductions ended in May 2020. Additionally, as a result of our improved cash position, we made voluntary principal payments in June 2020 of $9.6 million on our Previous Term Loan Facility and $20.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility and, in June 2021, we reduced the outstanding principal of our indebtedness by $38.6 million with the closing of our New Senior Secured Credit Facilities. We are continually monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impacts on our business. If stay-at-home and shelter-in-place restrictions are put back into place, we may choose to re-implement cost reduction measures.
We believe that our sources of liquidity and capital including cash provided by operating activities, additional borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility, and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy, including the opening of any additional retail
59
locations, regular and special quarterly cash dividends (as described above), required payments for our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot assure you that our cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents or cash available under our Revolving Credit Facility or our Floor Plan Facility, including the potential additional borrowings noted above, will be sufficient to meet our future needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and if availability under our Revolving Credit Facility or our Floor Plan Facility is not sufficient, we may have to obtain additional financing. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may impose significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all, including the expected additional borrowings noted above and particularly in light of the economic uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business — Our ability to operate and expand our business and to respond to changing business and economic conditions will depend on the availability of adequate capital” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had working capital of $468.2 million and $458.7 million, respectively, including $191.5 million and $166.1 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Our working capital reflects the cash provided by deferred revenue and gains reported under current liabilities of $94.4 million and $88.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Deferred revenue primarily consists of cash collected for club memberships and roadside assistance contracts in advance of services to be provided, which is deferred and recognized as revenue over the life of the membership, and deferred revenue for the annual guide. We use net proceeds from this deferred membership revenue to lower our long-term borrowings and finance our working capital needs. Our Floor Plan Facility includes a flooring line aggregate interest reduction (“FLAIR”) offset account that allows us to transfer cash as an offset to the payables under the Floor Plan Facility. The FLAIR offset account at June 30, 2021 was $130.2 million, $123.5 million of which could have been withdrawn while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants of the Floor Plan Facility.
Seasonality
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income, and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in our business. Because RVs are used primarily by vacationers and campers, demand for services, protection plans, products, and resources generally declines during the winter season, while sales and profits are generally highest during the spring and summer months. In addition, unusually severe weather conditions in some geographic areas may impact demand.
We generate a disproportionately higher amount of our annual revenue in our second and third fiscal quarters, which include the spring and summer months. We incur additional expenses in the second and third fiscal quarters due to higher purchase volumes, increased staffing in our retail locations and program costs. If, for any reason, we miscalculate the demand for our products or our product mix during the second and third fiscal quarters, our sales in these quarters could decline, resulting in higher labor costs as a percentage of gross profit, lower margins and excess inventory, which could cause our annual results of operations to suffer and our stock price to decline.
Additionally, SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit tend to be higher in the first and fourth quarters due to the timing of acquisitions and the seasonality of our business. We prefer to acquire new retail locations in the first and fourth quarters of each year in order to provide time for the location to be re-modeled and to ramp up operations ahead of the spring and summer months. The timing of our acquisitions in the first and fourth quarters, coupled with generally lower revenue in these quarters has historically resulted in SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit being higher in these quarters.
Due to our seasonality, the possible adverse impact from other risks associated with our business, including atypical weather, consumer spending levels and general business conditions, is potentially greater if any such risks occur during our peak sales seasons.

Cash Flow
The following table shows summary cash flow information for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Net cash used in financing activities | (240,394) | (422,213) | |||
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 25,435 | $ | 80,381 |
Operating activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily collections from contracts in transit and customers following the sale of new and used vehicles, as well as from the sale of retail products and services and Good Sam services and plans. Contracts in transit represent amounts due from third-party lenders from whom pre-arranged agreements have been determined, and to whom the retail installment sales contracts have been assigned. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are repayments of vehicle floor plan payables, payments to retail product suppliers, personnel-related expenditures, payments related to leased property, advertising, and various services and program costs.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $460.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $55.8 million from $515.9 million of net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a $306.4 million decrease in inventory in 2020 in addition to a $34.7 million increase in inventory in 2021, and a $15.1 million reduction in deferred income taxes, partially offset by a $244.4 million increase in net income, $21.4 million of increased accounts payable and other accrued expenses, a $14.4 million increase in accounts receivable, a $13.5 million increase in deferred revenue and $6.7 million of other cash uses.
Investing activities. Our investment in business activities primarily consists of expanding our operations through organic growth and the acquisition of retail locations. Substantially all of our new retail locations and capital expenditures have been financed using cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
The table below summarizes our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Total capital expenditures | $ | 47,184 | $ | 13,660 | |
Our capital expenditures consist primarily of investing in acquired and greenfield retail and RV dealership locations, existing retail locations, information technology, hardware, and software. There were no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2021.
Net cash used in investing activities was $194.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $194.3 million of cash used in investing activities was comprised of $99.0 million for the purchase of RV and outdoor retail businesses, $48.3 million for the purchase of real property, $47.2 million of capital expenditures primarily related to retail locations, $2.6 million for the purchase of intangible assets, and $0.3 million of investment in businesses, partially offset by proceeds of $1.7 million from the sale of property and equipment and $1.4 million from the sale of real property. See Note 11 – Acquisitions to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
61
Net cash used in investing activities was $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $13.3 million of cash used in investing activities was comprised of approximately $13.7 million of capital expenditures primarily related to retail locations, and a $0.1 million purchase of intangible assets, partially offset by proceeds of $0.5 million from the sale of property and equipment.
Financing activities. Our financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from the issuance of debt and the repayment of principal and debt issuance costs.
Our net cash used in financing activities was $240.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $240.4 million of cash used in financing activities was primarily due to $123.8 million of member distributions, $171.3 million of payments on long-term debt, $45.5 million for the repurchase of Class A common stock, $21.9 million of dividends paid on Class A common stock, $1.7 million of debt issuance costs, $1.6 million for finance lease payments, and $0.3 million of RSU shares withheld for tax, partially offset by $115.9 million of proceeds from long-term debt, $7.4 million of net proceeds from borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility, and $2.5 million of proceeds from exercise of stock options.
Our net cash used in financing activities was $422.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $422.2 million of cash used in financing activities was primarily due to $316.5 million of reduced borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility, $55.4 million of member distributions, $20.0 million of payments on credit facilities, $16.6 million of payments on our long-term debt, $11.5 million of dividends paid on Class A common stock, $1.7 million of finance lease payments, and $0.6 million of payments related to RSU shares withheld for taxes, partially offset by proceeds from exercise of stock options of $0.1 million.
Description of Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Floor Plan Facility and Real Estate Facility
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had outstanding debt in the form of our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, our Floor Plan Facility, and our Real Estate Facility (each defined below). We may from time to time seek to refinance, retire or exchange our outstanding debt. Such refinancings, repayments or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. For additional information regarding our interest rate risk and interest rate hedging instruments, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part I, Item 3 of this Form 10-Q.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, was party to separate credit agreements (the “New Credit Agreement” as of June 30, 2021 and, as amended from time to time, the “Previous Credit Agreement” as of December 31, 2020) for senior secured credit facilities (the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities” as of June 30, 2021, the “Previous Senior Secured Credit Facilities” as of December 31, 2020, and collectively the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The New Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of a $1.100 billion term loan facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). The Previous Senior Secured Credit Facilities consisted of a $1.195 billion term loan facility (the “Previous Term Loan Facility”) and a $35.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Previous Revolving Credit Facility”). On June 3, 2021, concurrently with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, we repaid and extinguished the Previous Senior Secured Credit Facilities with the proceeds from borrowing the full amount available under the New Term Loan Facility and paying an additional $61.4 million from cash on hand, resulting in an overall reduction of outstanding principal of $38.6 million. The New Term Loan Facility requires mandatory principal payments in equal quarterly installments of $2.8 million, which commenced on June 30, 2021. The New Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 3, 2026, and the New Term Loan Facility matures on June 3, 2028. As of June 30, 2021, the average interest rate on the New Term Loan Facility was 3.25%.
The Credit Agreement for our New Senior Secured Credit Facilities requires the “Borrower” and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum total net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), which covenant is in effect only if, as of the end of each calendar quarter, the aggregate amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility (including swingline loans), letters of credit and unreimbursed letter of credit disbursements outstanding at such time is greater than 35% of the total
62
commitment on the New Revolving Credit Facility (excluding (i) up to $15.0 million attributable to any outstanding undrawn letters of credit and (ii) any cash collateralized or backstopped letters of credit), as defined in the New Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2021, we were not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 35% threshold. To the extent that we are unable to comply with the maximum total net leverage ratio in the future, we would be unable to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and may need to seek alternative sources of financing in order to operate and finance our business as we deem appropriate. Our borrowing capacity under the New Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2021 was limited to $60.1 million of borrowings. At June 30, 2021, we would have met this covenant if we had exceeded the 35% threshold. We were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Additionally, the Borrower is required to prepay the term loan borrowings in an aggregate amount up to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the New Credit Agreement, for such fiscal year depending on the total net leverage ratio beginning with the year ended December 31, 2022. We are not subject to an additional excess cash flow payment relating to 2021 under the New Term Loan Facility and we were not required to make an additional excess cash flow payment relating to 2020 under the Previous Term Loan Facility.
See our Annual Report and Note 6 – Long-term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the outstanding amounts, available borrowings and terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
Floor Plan Facility
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FreedomRoads, LLC (“FR”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, maintained floor plan financing through the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Floor Plan Facility”). The applicable borrowing rate margin on LIBOR and base rate loans ranges from 2.05% to 2.50% and 0.55% and 1.00%, respectively, based on the consolidated current ratio at FR. At June 30, 2021, the Floor Plan Facility allowed FR to borrow (a) up to $1.38 billion under a floor plan facility, (b) up to $15.0 million under a letter of credit facility and (c) up to a maximum amount outstanding of $42.0 million under the revolving line of credit, which maximum amount outstanding decreases by $3.0 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maturity date of the Floor Plan Facility is March 15, 2023.
On May 12, 2020, FR entered into a Third Amendment to the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Third Amendment”) that provided FR with a one-time option to request a temporary four-month reduction of the minimum Consolidated Current Ratio (as defined in the Floor Plan Facility) at any time during 2020 and the first seven days of 2021. FR did not exercise that option. From May 12, 2020 through July 31, 2020, FR was not allowed to draw further Revolving Credit Loans (as defined in the Floor Plan Facility). On June 29, 2020, FR made a voluntary $20.0 million principal payment on the revolving line of credit. The borrowings under the floor plan credit agreement bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.05% as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. LIBOR was 0.09% and 0.15% as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility contains certain financial covenants, which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
See our Annual Report and Note 3 – Inventories and Floor Plan Payables to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the outstanding amounts, available borrowings and terms of the Floor Plan Facility.

Real Estate Facility
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Camping World Property, Inc. (the ‘‘Real Estate Borrower’’), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, and CIBC Bank USA (“Lender”), was party to a loan and security agreement for a real estate credit facility with an aggregate maximum principal amount of $21.5 million (“Real Estate Facility”).
The Real Estate Facility is subject to certain cross default provisions, a debt service coverage ratio, and other customary covenants which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The outstanding principal of the Real Estate Facility was $4.4 million and $4.5 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the interest rate on the Real Estate Facility was 2.93% with a commitment fee of 0.50% of the aggregate unused principal amount of the Real Estate Facility. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had zero additional capacity under the Real Estate Facility.
See our Annual Report and Note 6 – Long-term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the terms of the Real Estate Facility.
Sale/Leaseback Arrangements
We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property and/or leasehold improvements to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds which vary from period to period.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of our sales for products not yet recognized as revenue at the end of a given period. Our deferred revenue as of June 30, 2021 was $164.3 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We estimated interest payments through the maturity of our long-term debt by applying the interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2021 (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).
As discussed in Note 11 – Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Part I of this Form 10-Q, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability increased as a result of redemptions of common units during the period. As of June 30, 2021, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, including the current portion, was $179.9 million, of which $12.3 million, $11.5 million, $11.8 million, $12.1 million are estimated to be payable during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively, with the remainder estimated to be payable during periods after December 31, 2025.

There were no other material changes in our commitments during the three months ended June 30, 2021 under contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report outside the course of normal business.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and in doing so, we have to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change our results from those reported. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.
There has been no material change in our critical accounting policies from those previously reported and disclosed in our Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control performed during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
