Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate,” “aim” and other similar expressions, and include our segment net sales and other expectations described under “Overview” below, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements, including, but not limited to increases in interest rates, availability of credit, low consumer confidence, availability of labor, significant increases in repurchase obligations, inadequate liquidity or capital resources, availability and price of fuel, a slowdown in the economy, increased material and component costs, availability of chassis and other key component parts, sales order cancellations, slower than anticipated sales of new or existing products, new product introductions by competitors, the effect of global tensions, integration of operations relating to mergers and acquisitions activities and the overall impact of the novel coronavirus, known as "COVID-19", pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Additional information concerning certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from that projected or suggested is contained in the “Risk Factors” section in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q or to reflect any changes in expectations after the date of this release or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law.

REV Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(All tabular amounts presented in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of REV Group, Inc. (“REV” or “the Company”) and all its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise noted) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended October 31, 2020. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal year 2020 financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2021 presentation.
Equity Sponsor: The Company’s primary equity holders are funds and an investment vehicle associated with AIP CF IV, LLC, which the Company collectively refers to as “American Industrial Partners,” “AIP” or “Sponsor” and which indirectly own approximately 52.2% of REV Group’s voting equity as of April 30, 2021. AIP is an operations and engineering-focused private equity firm headquartered in New York, New York.
Related Party Transactions: During the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the Company did not incur expenses associated with its primary equity holder. During the six months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the Company reimbursed expenses of its primary equity holder in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted
The following accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
|
• |
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The standard requires a change in the measurement approach for credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis from an incurred loss method to an expected loss method, thereby eliminating the requirement that a credit loss be considered probable to impact the valuation of a financial asset measured on an amortized cost basis. The standard requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast that affects the collectability of the related financial asset. The Company adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020 following the modified retrospective method of transition. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
Accounting Pronouncement - To Be Adopted
|
• |
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 such as recognizing deferred taxes for equity investments, the incremental approach to performing intra-period tax allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The standard also simplifies accounting for income taxes under U.S. GAAP by clarifying and amending existing guidance, including the recognition of deferred taxes for goodwill, the allocation of taxes to members of a consolidated group and requiring that an entity reflect the effect of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2019-12 as of November 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements. |

Note 2. Revenue Recognition
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized from contracts with customers with product shipment destinations in the United States and Canada.
The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated from the manufacture and sale of specialty vehicles through its direct sales force or dealer network. The Company also generates revenue through separate contracts that relate to the sale of aftermarket parts and services. Revenue is typically recognized at a point-in-time, when control is transferred, which generally occurs when the product has been shipped to the customer or when it has been picked-up from the Company’s manufacturing facilities. Periodically, certain customers request bill and hold transactions. In such cases, revenue is not recognized until after control has transferred which is generally when the customer has requested such transaction and has been notified that the product (i) has been completed according to customer specifications, (ii) has passed our quality control inspections, and (iii) has been separated from our inventory and is ready for physical transfer to the customer.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The Company is generally entitled to bill its customers upon satisfaction of its performance obligations, and payment is usually received shortly after billing. Payments for certain contracts are received in advance of satisfying the related performance obligations. Such payments are recorded as customer advances in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The corresponding performance obligations are generally satisfied within one year of the contract inception. During the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the Company recognized $33.7 million and $26.2 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the customer advance balances of $170.1 million and $129.9 million as of October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. During the six months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the Company recognized $85.1 million and $80.6 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the customer advance balances of $170.1 million and $129.9 million as of October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s payment terms do not include a significant financing component and the Company does not have significant contract assets.
Note 3. Leases
During the three and six months ended April 30, 2021, the Company recognized total operating lease costs of $2.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, and paid cash of $2.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2020, the Company recognized total operating lease costs of $2.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and paid cash of $2.3 million and $4.5 million for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities.
At April 30, 2021, future minimum operating lease payments due under ASC 842 are summarized by fiscal year in the table below:

Note 4. Acquisition
Spartan Emergency Response
On February 1, 2020, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Spartan Emergency Response (“Spartan ER”), a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of custom emergency response vehicles, cabs and chassis for the emergency
9
response market, and its brands, from The Shyft Group (NASDAQ: SHYF). Spartan ER is reported as part of the Fire & Emergency segment. The acquisition increases the Company’s market share in several key product categories and provides access to several large new municipalities and regional markets. The initial purchase price for Spartan ER was $54.8 million of cash, which was funded through the Company’s 2017 ABL credit facility. The preliminary purchase price allocation, which was based on a $54.8 million purchase price, resulted in a gain of $11.9 million, which is included in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020.
The initial purchase price was adjusted to $47.3 million in connection with the post close net working capital adjustments that were finalized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and subsequent receipt of $7.5 million from the seller. These updates resulted in a decrease to the cumulative gain on acquisition of $3.3 million, from $11.9 million to $8.6 million.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the purchase price allocation was updated to reflect immaterial measurement period adjustments made to inventories and warranty, and certain other assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These updates resulted in a decrease to the cumulative gain on acquisition of $0.4 million, from $8.6 million to $8.2 million, which is reflected in the final purchase price allocation shown in the table below. The measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations during that period.
The following table summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Spartan ER:

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company completed the sale of REV Coach. The Company received cash proceeds of $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and the remaining $0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Effective May 8, 2020, and in connection with a strategic review of the product portfolio, the Company completed the sale of its shuttle bus businesses for approximately $49.0 million in cash. The Company used the proceeds from the disposition to reduce outstanding borrowings. The shuttle bus businesses were reported as part of the Commercial segment. The assets and liabilities disposed of in connection with this transaction met the held for sale criteria as of April 30, 2020. The carrying value of the assets held for sale was greater than the fair value, less costs to sell, resulting in a loss of $8.8 million, which is included in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020. The loss included $2.5 million related to goodwill that was allocated to the shuttle bus businesses and the costs to sell of $1.8 million.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, in connection with a strategic review of the product portfolio, the Company made the decision to divest its REV Brazil business. The assets and liabilities to be disposed of in connection with this transaction met the held for sale criteria as of April 30, 2021. The carrying value of the net assets held for sale, inclusive of the cumulative translation adjustment balance attributable to this business, was greater than their fair value, less costs to sell, resulting in a loss of $3.8 million, which is included in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended April 30, 2021. The REV Brazil business is reported as part of the Fire & Emergency segment.
As of April 30, 2021, assets and liabilities held for sale consisted of the following balances related to the sale of REV Brazil: Property, plant and equipment, net—$0.8 million, Inventories, net—$2.1 million, Accounts receivable, net—$5.7 million, Accounts payable—$4.3 million and Other current and long-term liabilities—$4.5 million.

2021 ABL Facility
On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into a $550.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “2021 ABL Facility” or “2021 ABL Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 ABL Facility provides for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million. The total credit facility is subject to a $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35.0 million sublimit for letters of credit (plus up to an additional $20.0 million of letters of credit at issuing bank’s discretion), along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the 2021 ABL Agreement. The 2021 ABL Agreement allows for incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, plus the excess, if any, of the borrowing base then in effect over total commitments then in effect. Any such incremental facilities are subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions. The 2021 ABL Agreement serves as refinancing of indebtedness and terminates the Company’s 2017 ABL Facility and Term Loan. The Company repaid $303.4 million of existing principal on the 2017 ABL Facility and Term Loan in connection with this refinancing. The Company also paid $7.0 million of debt issuance costs and recognized a $1.4 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, the latter of which is included in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2021. The debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with the 2021 ABL Facility are included in other long-term assets in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The 2021 ABL Facility matures on April 13, 2026. The Company may prepay principal, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.
All revolving loans under the 2021 ABL Facility bear interest at rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin, or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin. Applicable interest rate margins are initially 0.75% for all base rate loans and 1.75% for all Eurodollar rate loans (with the Eurodollar rate having a floor of 0.25%), subject to adjustment based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio in accordance with the 2021 ABL Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly for all base rate loans and is payable the last day of any interest period or every three months for all Eurodollar rate loans. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the 2017 ABL Facility was 1.99% as of April 30, 2021.
The lenders under the 2021 ABL Facility have a first priority security interest in substantially all personal property assets and certain real property assets of the Company. The 2021 ABL Facility’s borrowing base is comprised of eligible receivables and eligible inventory, plus a fixed asset sublimit of certain eligible real property and eligible equipment, which fixed asset sublimit reduces by quarterly amortization as specified in the 2021 ABL Agreement.
The 2021 ABL Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, subject in certain cases to customary limitations, exceptions and exclusions. The 2021 ABL Agreement also contains certain customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default under the 2021 ABL Agreement could result in the termination of the commitments under the 2021 ABL Facility and the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under it. The 2021 ABL Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 during certain compliance periods as specified in the 2021 ABL Agreement.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2021 ABL Agreement as of April 30, 2021. As of April 30, 2021, the Company’s availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $223.1 million.
The fair value of the 2021 ABL Facility approximated book value on April 30, 2021.
2017 ABL Facility
The 2017 ABL Facility consisted of: (i) Revolving Loans, (ii) Swing Line Loans, and (iii) Letters of Credit, aggregating up to a combined maximum of $500.0 million. The total amount borrowed under the 2017 ABL Facility was subject to a $30.0 million sublimit for Swing Line loans and a $35.0 million sublimit for Letters of Credit, along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the 2017 ABL Agreement.
The 2017 ABL Facility was set to mature on April 25, 2022. In connection with the Company’s entry into the 2021 ABL Facility on April 13, 2021, the 2017 ABL Facility was fully prepaid as part of the refinancing. All related security interests were cancelled.
The fair value of the 2017 ABL Facility approximated book value on October 31, 2020.
Term Loan
On April 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated $175.0 million term loan agreement (“Term Loan” and “Term Loan Agreement”), as Borrower with certain subsidiaries of the Company, acting as guarantors of debt. Principal could be prepaid at any time during the term of the Term Loan without penalty.
13
The Term Loan agreement required quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original principal balance. The Term Loan was set to mature on April 25, 2022. In connection with the Company’s entry into the 2021 ABL Facility on April 13, 2021, the Term Loan was fully prepaid as part of the refinancing. All related security interests were cancelled.
The fair value of the Term Loan approximated book value on October 31, 2020.
Note 10. Warranties
The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from several months to several years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Selected components (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) included in the Company’s end products may include warranties from original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”). These OEM warranties are passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products, and the customer deals directly with the applicable OEM for any issues encountered on those components.
Changes in the Company’s warranty liability consisted of the following:

Note 11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution. The difference between basic EPS and diluted EPS is the result of the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, performance stock units and restricted stock units. The table below reconciles basic weighted-average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020:

Note 12. Income Taxes
For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate based on the projected income for its entire fiscal year and records a provision (benefit) for income taxes on a quarterly basis based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for any discrete tax items.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $7.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, or 25.8% of pre-tax income, compared to $10.1 million of benefit, or 56.1% of pre-tax loss, for the three months ended April 30, 2020. Results for the three months ended April 30, 2021 were favorably impacted by $0.1 million of net discrete tax benefits primarily related to stock-based compensation tax deductions. Results for the three months ended April 30, 2020 were favorably impacted by $5.7 million of net discrete tax benefits primarily related to net operating loss carrybacks allowable under the CARES Act and the nontaxable gain on the acquisition of Spartan ER.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $7.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2021, or 25.9% of pre-tax income, compared to $12.7 million of benefit, or 42.5% of pre-tax loss, for the six months ended April 30, 2020. Results for the six months ended April 30, 2021 were favorably impacted by $1.2 million of net discrete tax benefits related primarily to recognition of deferred taxes on assets classified as held for sale and stock-based compensation tax deductions. Results for the six months ended April 30, 2020 were favorably impacted by $5.4 million of net discrete tax benefits primarily related to net operating loss carrybacks allowable under the CARES Act and the nontaxable gain on the acquisition of Spartan ER.
The Company periodically evaluates its valuation allowance requirements as facts and circumstances change and may adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances accordingly. It is reasonably possible that the Company will either add to or reverse a portion of its existing deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future. Such changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances will be reflected in the current operations through the Company’s effective income tax rate.
The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $3.2 million as of April 30, 2021 and $3.1 million as of October 31, 2020. The unrecognized tax benefits are presented in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for the period ended April 30, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in its Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from examinations to determine the adequacy of its tax reserves. As of April 30, 2021, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax positions it has taken will be sustained upon the resolution of its audits resulting in no material impact on its consolidated financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. However, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from the Company’s estimates and/or from its historical income tax provisions and income tax liabilities and could have a material effect on operating results and/or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, and/or interest assessments related to income tax examinations.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Personal Injury Actions and Other: Product and general liability claims arise against the Company from time to time in the ordinary course of business. These claims are generally covered by third-party insurance, which for some insurance policies is subject to a
15
retention for which the Company is responsible. Management, however, believes that any losses will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Market Risks: The Company is contingently liable under bid, performance and specialty bonds and has open standby letters of credit issued by the Company’s banks in favor of third parties as follows:

Chassis Contingent Liabilities: The Company obtains certain vehicle chassis from automobile manufacturers under converter pool agreements. These agreements generally provide that the manufacturer will supply chassis at the Company’s various production facilities under the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement. The manufacturer does not transfer the certificate of origin to the Company and, accordingly, the chassis are treated as consigned inventory of the automobile manufacturer. Upon being put into production, the Company becomes obligated to pay the manufacturer for the chassis. Chassis are typically converted and delivered to customers within 90 to 120 days of receipt. If the chassis are not converted within this timeframe of delivery, the Company generally purchases the chassis and records inventory, or the Company is obligated to begin paying an interest charge on this inventory until purchased. Such agreements are customary in the industries in which the Company operates and the Company’s exposure to loss under such agreements is limited by the value of the vehicle chassis that would be resold to mitigate any losses. The Company’s contingent liability under such agreements was $20.8 million and $40.4 million as of April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively.
Repurchase Commitments: The Company has repurchase agreements with certain lending institutions. The repurchase commitments are on an individual unit basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through payment date by the dealer or other customer, generally not exceeding two years. The Company also repurchases inventory from dealers from time to time due to state law or regulatory requirements that require manufacturers to repurchase inventory if a dealership exits the business. The Company’s outstanding obligations under such agreements were $187.6 million and $191.5 million as of April 30, 2021, and October 31, 2020, respectively. This value represents the gross value of all vehicles under repurchase agreements and does not take into consideration proceeds that would be received upon resale of repossessed vehicles, which would be used to reduce the Company’s ultimate net liability. Such agreements are customary in the industries in which the Company operates and the Company’s exposure to loss under such agreements is limited by the potential loss on the resale value of the inventory which is required to be repurchased. Losses incurred under such arrangements have not been significant and the Company expects this pattern to continue. The reserve for losses included in other liabilities on contracts outstanding at April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020 is immaterial.
Guarantee Arrangements: The Company is party to multiple agreements whereby it guarantees indebtedness of others, including losses under loss pool agreements. The Company estimated that its maximum loss exposure under these contracts was $18.8 million and $21.1 million at April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively. Under the terms of these and various related agreements and upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company generally has the ability to, among other things, take possession of the underlying collateral. If the financial condition of the customers and dealers were to deteriorate and result in their inability to make payments, then additional accruals may be required. While the Company does not expect to experience losses under these agreements that are materially in excess of the amounts reserved, it cannot provide any assurance that the financial condition of the third parties will not deteriorate resulting in the third party’s inability to meet their obligations.
In the event that third parties are unable to meet obligations under these agreements, the Company cannot guarantee that the collateral underlying the agreements will be available or sufficient to avoid losses materially in excess of the amounts reserved. Any losses under these guarantees would generally be mitigated by the value of any underlying collateral, primarily financed vehicles, and are generally subject to the finance company’s ability to provide the Company clear title to foreclosed equipment and other conditions. During periods of economic weakness, collateral values generally decline and can contribute to higher exposure to losses.
Other Matters: The Company is, from time to time, party to various legal proceedings arising out of ordinary course of business. The amount of alleged liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty; however, the Company believes that its ultimate liability, if any, arising from pending legal proceedings, as well as from asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims, which are probable of assertion, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities, should not be material to the business, financial condition or results of operations.
A consolidated federal putative securities class action and a consolidated state putative securities class action are pending against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. These actions collectively purport to assert claims on behalf of putative classes of
16
purchasers of the Company’s common stock in or traceable to its January 2017 IPO, purchasers in its secondary offering of common stock in October 2017, and purchasers from October 10, 2017 through June 7, 2018. The state action also names certain of the underwriters for the Company’s IPO or secondary offering as defendants. The federal and state courts each consolidated multiple separate actions pending before them, the first of which was filed on June 8, 2018. The actions have alleged certain violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and, for the federal action, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The consolidated state action is currently stayed in favor of the consolidated federal action. On May 19, 2021, the parties to the consolidated federal and state putative securities class actions executed a stipulation of settlement for a class settlement with the court and moved for preliminary approval. The settlement payment is expected to be fully covered by the Company's insurers. The payable under the proposed settlement and the related insurance proceeds are recorded in other current liabilities and other current assets, respectively, in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 30, 2021.
Collectively, the actions seek certification of the putative classes asserted and compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The underwriter defendants have notified the Company of their intent to seek indemnification from the Company pursuant to the IPO underwriting agreement regarding the claims asserted with respect to the IPO, and the Company expects the underwriters to do the same in regard to the claims asserted with respect to the October 2017 offering. Two purported derivative actions, which have since been consolidated, were also filed in federal court in Delaware in 2019 against the Company’s directors (with the Company as a nominal defendant), premised on allegations similar to those asserted in the consolidated federal securities litigation. The Company and the other defendants intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously. Additional lawsuits may be filed and, at this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuits, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of the lawsuits, or any potential effect that it may have on the Company or its operations.
Note 14. Business Segment Information
The Company is organized into three reportable segments based on management’s process for making operating decisions, allocating capital and measuring performance, and based on the similarity of products, customers served, common use of facilities, and economic characteristics. The Company’s segments are as follows:
Fire & Emergency: This segment includes KME, E-One, Ferrara, Spartan ER, American Emergency Vehicles, Leader Emergency Vehicles, Horton Emergency Vehicles, REV Ambulance Orlando and REV Brazil. These business units manufacture and market commercial and custom fire and emergency vehicles primarily for fire departments, airports, other governmental units, contractors, hospitals and other care providers in the United States and other countries.
Commercial: This segment includes Collins Bus, ENC, Capacity and Lay-Mor. Collins Bus manufactures, markets and distributes school buses, normally referred to as Type A school buses. ENC manufactures, markets and distributes municipal transit buses, primarily used for public transportation. Capacity manufactures, markets and distributes trucks used in terminal type operations, i.e., rail yards, warehouses, rail terminals and shipping terminals/ports. Lay-Mor manufactures, markets and distributes industrial sweepers for both the commercial and rental markets.
Recreation: This segment includes REV Recreation Group (“RRG”), Goldshield Fiberglass, Inc. (“Goldshield”), Renegade, Midwest and Lance, and their respective manufacturing facilities, service and parts divisions. RRG primarily manufactures, markets and distributes Class A RVs in both gas and diesel models. Renegade primarily manufacturers, markets and distributes Class C and “Super C” RVs. Midwest manufactures, markets and distributes Class B RVs and luxury vans. Lance manufactures, markets and distributes truck campers and towable campers. Goldshield manufactures, markets and distributes fiberglass reinforced molded parts to a diverse cross section of original equipment manufacturers and other commercial and industrial customers, including various components for RRG, which is one of Goldshield’s primary customers.
For purposes of measuring financial performance of its business segments, the Company does not allocate to individual business segments costs or items that are of a corporate nature. The caption “Corporate, Other & Elims” includes corporate office expenses, results of insignificant operations, intersegment eliminations and income and expense not allocated to reportable segments.
Total assets of the business segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, certain property, plant and equipment and certain other assets pertaining to corporate and other centralized activities.
Intersegment sales generally include amounts invoiced by a segment for work performed for another segment. Amounts are based on actual work performed and agreed-upon pricing which is intended to be reflective of the contribution made by the supplying business segment. All intersegment transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In considering the financial performance of the business, the chief operating decision maker analyzes the primary financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income for the relevant period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes and loss on early extinguishment of debt, as adjusted for items management believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by U.S. GAAP but is computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of this performance measure to net income (loss) is included below.
The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and used by management for measuring profitability because the measure excludes the impact of certain items which management believes have less bearing on the Company’s core operating performance, and allows for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within its industries by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to measure and report the Company’s financial performance to the Company’s Board of Directors, assists in
18
providing a meaningful analysis of the Company’s operating performance and is used as a measurement in incentive compensation for management.
Provided below is a reconciliation of segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and risk factors contained in this Form 10-Q as well as the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Risk Factors and audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on January 7, 2021.
Overview
REV is a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of specialty vehicles and related aftermarket parts and services. We serve a diversified customer base, primarily in the United States, through three segments: Fire & Emergency, Commercial, and Recreation. We provide customized vehicle solutions for applications, including essential needs for public services (ambulances, fire apparatus, school buses, and transit buses), commercial infrastructure (terminal trucks and industrial sweepers) and consumer leisure (recreational vehicles). Our diverse portfolio is made up of well-established principal vehicle brands, including many of the most recognizable names within their industry. Several of our brands pioneered their specialty vehicle product categories and date back more than 50 years. We believe that we hold the first, second and third market share positions, and approximately 89% of our net sales during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 came from products where we believe we hold such share position.
Segments
We serve a diversified customer base primarily in the United States through the following segments:
Fire & Emergency – The Fire & Emergency segment sells fire apparatus equipment under the Emergency One (“E-ONE”), Kovatch Mobile Equipment (“KME”), Ferrara, Spartan, Smeal and Ladder Tower brands, and ambulances under the American Emergency Vehicles (“AEV”), Horton Emergency Vehicles (“Horton”), Leader Emergency Vehicles (“Leader”), Road Rescue, Wheeled Coach and Frontline brands. We believe we are the largest manufacturer by unit volume of fire and emergency vehicles in the United States and have one of the industry’s broadest portfolios of products including Type I ambulances (aluminum body mounted on a heavy truck-style chassis), Type II ambulances (van conversion ambulance), Type III ambulances (aluminum body mounted on a van-style chassis), pumpers (fire apparatus on a custom or commercial chassis with a water pump and water tank to extinguish fires), ladder trucks (fire apparatus with stainless steel or aluminum ladders), tanker trucks and rescue, aircraft rescue firefighting (“ARFF”), custom cabs & chassis and other vehicles. Each of our individual brands is distinctly positioned and targets certain price and feature points in the market such that dealers often carry, and customers often buy more than one REV Fire & Emergency product line.
Commercial – Our Commercial segment serves the bus market through the Collins Bus and ENC brands. We serve the terminal truck market through the Capacity brand and the sweeper market through the Lay-Mor brand. Our products in the Commercial segment include transit buses (large municipal buses where we build our own chassis and body), Type A school buses (small school bus built on commercial chassis), sweepers (three- and four-wheel versions used in road construction activities), and terminal trucks (specialized vehicles which move freight in warehouses, intermodal yards, distribution and fulfillment centers and ports). Within each market, we produce many customized configurations to address the diverse needs of our customers.
Recreation – Our Recreation segment serves the RV market through the following principal brands: American Coach, Fleetwood RV, Holiday Rambler, Renegade, Midwest and Lance. We believe our brand portfolio contains some of the longest standing, most recognized brands in the RV industry. Under these brands, REV provides a variety of highly recognized motorized and towable RV models such as: American Eagle, Bounder, Pace Arrow, Discovery LXE, Verona, Weekender and Lance, among others. Our products in the Recreation segment include Class A motorized RVs (motorhomes built on a heavy-duty chassis with either diesel or gas engine configurations), Class C and “Super C” motorized RVs (motorhomes built on a commercial truck or van chassis), Class B RVs (motorhomes built out within a van chassis and high-end luxury van conversions), and towable travel trailers and truck campers. The Recreation segment also includes Goldshield Fiberglass, which produces a wide range of custom molded fiberglass products for the heavy-duty truck, RV and broader industrial markets.
20
Factors Affecting Our Performance
The primary factors affecting our results of operations include:
General Economic Conditions
Our business is impacted by the U.S. economic environment, employment levels, consumer confidence, municipal spending, municipal tax receipts, changes in interest rates and instability in securities markets around the world, among other factors. In particular, changes in the U.S. economic climate can impact demand in key end markets. In addition, we are susceptible to supply chain disruptions resulting from the impact of tariffs and global macro-economic factors (refer to “Impact of COVID-19” section below), which can have a dramatic effect, either directly or indirectly, on the availability, lead-times and costs associated with raw materials and parts.
RV purchases are discretionary in nature and therefore sensitive to the availability of financing, consumer confidence, unemployment levels, levels of disposable income and changing levels of consumer home equity, among other factors. RV markets are affected by general U.S. and global economic conditions, which create risks that future economic downturns will further reduce consumer demand and negatively impact our sales.
While less economically sensitive than the Recreation segment, the Fire & Emergency and the Commercial segments are also impacted by the overall economic environment. Local tax revenues are an important source of funding for fire and emergency response departments. Fire and emergency products and buses are typically a larger cost item for municipalities and their service life is relatively long, making the purchase more deferrable, which can result in reduced demand for our products. In addition to commercial demand, local, state and federal tax revenues can be an important source of funding for many of our bus products including Type A school buses and transit buses. Volatility in tax revenues or availability of funds via budgetary appropriation can have a negative impact on the demand for these products.
A decrease in employment levels, consumer confidence or the availability of financing, or other adverse economic events, or the failure of actual demand for our products to meet our estimates, could negatively affect the demand for our products. Any decline in overall customer demand in markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance.
Seasonality
In a typical year, our operating results are impacted by seasonality. Historically, the slowest sales volume quarter has been the first fiscal quarter when the purchasing seasons for vehicles, such as school buses, RVs and sweepers are the lowest due to the colder weather and the relatively long time until the summer vacation season, and the fact that the school year is underway with municipalities and school bus contractors utilizing their existing fleets to transport student populations. Sales of our products have typically been higher in the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters (with the fourth fiscal quarter typically being the strongest) due to better weather, the vacation season, buying habits of RV dealers and end-users, timing of government/municipal customer fiscal years, and the beginning of a new school year. Our quarterly results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity are likely to be impacted by these seasonal patterns. Sales and earnings for other vehicles that we produce, such as essential emergency vehicles and commercial bus fleets, are less seasonal, but fluctuations in sales of these vehicles can also be impacted by timing surrounding the fiscal years of municipalities and commercial customers, as well as the timing and amounts of multi-unit orders.
Impact of Acquisitions
We actively evaluate opportunities to improve and expand our business through targeted acquisitions that are consistent with our strategy. We also may dispose of certain components of our business that no longer fit within our overall strategy. Historically, a significant component of our growth has been through acquisitions of businesses. We typically incur upfront costs as we integrate acquired businesses and implement our operating philosophy at newly acquired companies, including consolidation of supplies and materials, purchases, improvements to production processes, and other restructuring initiatives. The benefits of these integration efforts and divestiture activities may not positively impact our financial results until subsequent periods.
We recognize acquired assets and liabilities at fair value. This includes the recognition of identified intangible assets and goodwill which, in the case of definite-life intangible assets, are then amortized over their expected useful lives, which typically results in an increase in amortization expense. In addition, assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally include tangible assets as well as contingent assets and liabilities.
21
On-Going Impact of COVID-19
During our second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 spread throughout the world creating a global pandemic. The impact of COVID-19, and related mutations, continues to be present throughout the world, including in all global and regional markets served by us, and our manufacturing facilities are located in areas that continue to be affected by the pandemic. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, we have experienced labor disruptions, disruption and delays in our supply chain, customer demand changes, and logistics challenges, including our customers’ ability to inspect and take delivery of vehicles.
Many of the vehicles and parts we supply are vital to serving communities across our nation. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which implements the Secretary of Homeland Security’s responsibilities, has designated our fire trucks, ambulances, transit and school buses and terminal trucks as essential to the nation’s health and safety, and are critical to the emergency service and transportation infrastructure.
When necessary, we have taken a number of precautionary steps to safeguard our employees and our business from the effects of the outbreak of COVID-19, including closing Recreation vehicle manufacturing locations for 3-6 weeks and shuttle bus manufacturing locations for 2 weeks (during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020), substantially limiting the presence of personnel in our offices and manufacturing locations, implementing travel restrictions and withdrawing from various industry events. We have requested that office employees work from home from time to time, and implemented business continuity plans in an effort to minimize further business disruption and to protect our employees and operations. At times, we have limited discretionary spending, furloughed salaried employees, deferred capital investments and temporarily lowered the salaries of our leadership team.
Our Recreation vehicles dealer network was significantly impacted by the pandemic and many of them suspended normal production activity temporarily before reopening in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 when consumer demand for recreation vehicles began to accelerate due to an increase in consumer preference to vacation in a safe and socially distant manner. As of April 30, 2021, Recreation segment backlog was significantly higher than the same period in the prior year.
As the global economy continues to recover from COVID-19 related disruption, labor and significant supply chain challenges, such as shortages in semiconductors, subcomponents and increased prices of raw materials, such as steel and aluminum, have impacted operations of companies on a global scale. Such supply chain disruptions during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 impacted our ability to obtain certain raw materials and purchased components that are necessary to our production processes, including the ability to obtain chassis from third party suppliers. We continue to monitor these disruptions and take measures to mitigate the associated risks. However, the impact of possible disruption remains largely out of our control and the risk of unfavorable impact on production at our facilities will likely continue throughout fiscal year 2021.
In certain geographies around the globe there has been a resurgence of COVID-19 cases and governmental authorities continue to implement numerous measures in an attempt to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. While the global market impacts, closures and limitations on movement are expected to be temporary, the duration of any demand changes, production and supply chain disruptions, and related financial impacts, cannot be reliably estimated at this time.

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales increased $96.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 compared to the prior year quarter, which included $43.8 million of revenue attributable to two shuttle bus businesses in the Commercial segment that were sold on May 8, 2020. Refer to Note 8, Divestiture Activities, of the Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. Excluding the impact of the shuttle bus divestiture, net sales increased $140.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased sales within the F&E and Recreation segments. The increase in sales volume in the F&E segment was primarily due to increased unit shipments of fire apparatus and price realization within the fire group partially offset by decreased shipments of ambulance units. The increase in sales volume in the Recreation segment was primarily the result of increased unit shipments within all product categories driven by retail demand for RVs, and lower discounts and allowances compared to the prior year quarter which was impacted by COVID-19 related disruptions.
Consolidated net sales increased $118.5 million for the six months ended April 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. Net sales for the prior year period included $96.7 million of revenue attributable to the shuttle bus businesses and $62.6 million of revenue attributable to Spartan ER. Excluding the impact of the shuttle bus divestiture and Spartan ER acquisition, organic net sales increased by $143.9 million for the six months ended April 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period which was impacted by COVID-19 related disruptions, primarily within the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. The increase in organic net sales was primarily due to increased sales within the F&E and Recreation segments, partially offset by a decrease in the Commercial segment sales due to lower shipments of school buses and municipal transit buses due to market softness and production disruptions, partially offset by increased shipments of terminal trucks and street sweepers.

Commercial segment net sales decreased $44.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in net sales compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to net sales of our shuttle bus businesses, which were sold on May 8, 2020. Excluding the impact of the shuttle bus divestiture, net sales decreased by $1.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower shipments of school buses and municipal transit buses due to COVID-19 related market softness and production disruptions, partially offset by increased shipments of terminal trucks and street sweepers.

Each of our three segments has a backlog of new vehicle orders that generally extends out from two to twelve months in duration.
Orders from our dealers and end customers are evidenced by a contract, firm purchase order or reserved production slot for delivery of one or many vehicles. These orders are reported in our backlog at the aggregate selling prices, net of discounts or allowances.
As of April 30, 2021, our backlog was $2,342.6 million compared to $1,647.8 million as of April 30, 2020. The increase in total backlog was due to a significant increase in the Recreation segment, partially offset by a decrease in the Fire & Emergency and Commercial segments. The increase in Recreation segment backlog was primarily the result of strong order intake across all product categories. The decrease in Fire & Emergency segment backlog was primarily the result of increased throughput within the fire group and a decrease in orders for legacy fire apparatus related to end market softness throughout the latter half of fiscal year 2020, partially offset by an increase of orders for ambulance units. The decrease in Commercial segment backlog was primarily the result of the divestiture of two shuttle bus businesses, a decrease in orders for school buses related to COVID-19 disruptions and timing of a large municipal transit order partially offset by strong order intake in the terminal trucks and street sweepers.

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, the improvement and expansion of existing manufacturing facilities, debt service payments and general corporate needs. Historically, these cash requirements have been met through cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under our term loan and ABL credit facility.
We believe that our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations and growth strategy. However, we cannot assure you that cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under the current ABL facility will be sufficient to meet our future needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, and if availability under the current ABL facility is not sufficient due to the size of our borrowing base or other external factors, we may have to obtain additional financing. If additional capital is obtained by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations or may involve higher overall interest rates.
Cash Flow
The following table shows summary cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended April 30, 2021 was $37.1 million, compared to $22.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2020. The generation of positive cash from operating activities for the six months ended April 30, 2021, was related to higher net income and a receipt of a tax refund related to the CARES Act, partially offset by decreases from the timing of payables.
28
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2021 was $3.3 million and was primarily related to the proceeds from the sale of land ($8.7 million) and other assets, offset by cash paid for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2020 was $58.5 million and was primarily related to the acquisition of Spartan ER on February 1, 2020.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2021 was $44.1 million, which primarily consisted of net proceeds from our 2021 ABL Facility offset by the use of those proceeds to repay the 2017 ABL Facility and Term Loan, and payments for debt issuance costs. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2020 was $54.7 million, which primarily consisted of net borrowings to fund the acquisition of Spartan ER and to pay quarterly dividends.
Dividends
Subject to legally available funds and the discretion of our board of directors, we may or may not pay a quarterly cash dividend in the future on our common stock. We announced the suspension of our quarterly dividend beginning the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. In the six months ended April 30, 2020, we paid cash dividends of $6.3 million.
On June 3, 2021, our Board of Directors reinstated a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.05 per share of common stock, which equates to a rate of $0.20 per share of common stock on an annualized basis and declared the initial regular dividend for the three months ended April 30, 2021, payable on July 15, 2021, to shareholders of record on June 30, 2021.
2021 ABL Facility
On April 13, 2021, we entered into a $550.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “2021 ABL Facility” or “2021 ABL Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 ABL Facility provides for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million. The total credit facility is subject to a $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35.0 million sublimit for letters of credit (plus up to an additional $20.0 million of letters of credit at issuing bank’s discretion), along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement allows for incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, plus the excess, if any, of the borrowing base then in effect over total commitments then in effect. Any such incremental facilities are subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions. The 2021 ABL Agreement serves as refinancing of indebtedness and terminates the Company’s 2017 ABL Facility and Term Loan.
The 2021 ABL Facility matures on April 13, 2026. We may prepay principal, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.
We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2021 ABL Agreement as of April 30, 2021. As of April 30, 2021, the Company’s availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $223.1 million.
Refer to Note 9, Long-Term Debt, of the Notes to Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income
In considering the financial performance of the business, management analyzes the primary financial performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income for the relevant period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes and loss on early extinguishment of debt, as adjusted for certain items described below that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income, as adjusted for certain items described below that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
29
We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are useful to investors because these performance measures are used by our management and our Board of Directors for measuring and reporting our financial performance and as a measurement in incentive compensation for management. These measures exclude the impact of certain items which we believe have less bearing on our core operating performance because they are items that are not needed or available to our managers in the daily activities of their businesses. We believe that the core operations of our business are those which can be affected by our management in a particular period through their resource allocation decisions that affect the underlying performance of our operations conducted during that period. We also believe that decisions utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income allow for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within our markets by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies.
To determine Adjusted EBITDA, we adjust Net Income for the following items: non-cash depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, loss on early extinguishment of debt and other items as described below. Stock-based compensation expense and sponsor expense reimbursement is excluded from both Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA because it is an expense, which cannot be impacted by our business managers. Stock-based compensation expense also reflects a cost which may obscure trends in our underlying vehicle businesses for a given period, due to the timing and nature of the equity awards. We also adjust for exceptional items, which are determined to be those that in management’s judgment are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance and need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence, and include non-cash items and items settled in cash. In determining whether an event or transaction is exceptional, management considers quantitative as well as qualitative factors such as the frequency or predictability of occurrence.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income have limitations as analytical tools. These are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not measures of financial condition and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or net loss for the period determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is Net Income for the relevant period. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, such measures do not reflect:
|
• |
our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
|
• |
changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
|
• |
the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
|
• |
the cash requirements to pay our taxes. |

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our 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 and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2021.
During the quarter ended April 30, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For a description of our legal proceedings, refer to Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, other than as follows:
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and could in the future materially and adversely affect, our business.
The novel strain of the coronavirus identified in China in late 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted and is expected to continue to impact our operations, and the full nature and extent of the impact is highly uncertain and may be beyond our control. Among other things, uncertainties relating to COVID-19 include the duration of the outbreak, the severity of the virus and the actions, or perception of actions, that may be taken to contain or treat its impact, by governments and others, including declarations of states of emergency, business closures, manufacturing restrictions and a prolonged period of travel, commercial and/or other similar restrictions and limitations. While many of actions implemented to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have been rolled back in certain markets, and the spread of COVID-19 appears to be decreasing in the United States, the effects of the pandemic are uncertain and expected to continue to impact our business.
As a result of COVID-19 and the measures implemented that are designed to contain its spread, our customers have been and could continue to be negatively impacted, resulting in a disruption in demand which could negatively impact our sales and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Similarly, as a result of COVID-19 and measures implemented that are designed to contain its spread, our suppliers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to enable the manufacture of our products according to our schedule and specifications. For example, from time to time during the pandemic, we have experienced delays in the supply of certain components for our vehicles. Because of impacts to suppliers’ operations, we may need to seek alternate suppliers, which may be more expensive, may not be available or may result in delays in shipments to us and subsequently to our customers, each of which would affect our results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted our internal operations, including by heightening the risk that a significant portion of our workforce will suffer illness or otherwise not be permitted or be unable to work and exposing us to cyber and other risks
33
associated with a large number of our employees working remotely. For example, beginning the week of March 23, 2020, we suspended normal production activities within the Recreation segment at all four of our RV production facilities in Indiana and California and restarted in May 2020. Also, certain facilities have experienced shutdowns extending for multiple production days consistent with our mitigation protocols to test the full facility workforce for COVID and complete the appropriate cleaning process. We cannot predict whether our facilities will experience additional disruptions or more significant or frequent disruptions in the future.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future.
Further, if our operations, employees, suppliers or customers are adversely impacted by COVID-19, including individual infections leading to injury or death, or the inability for us to meet our contractual obligations, then we may be exposed to reputational, competitive, operational, financial and business harm as well as litigation and regulatory action. The costs and operational consequences of responding to the above items could be significant and could adversely impact our results.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and its duration and ultimate disruption to our customers and to our supply chain, and related financial impact to us, cannot be estimated at this time. Should such disruption continue for an extended period of time, the impact could have a more severe adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, weaker economic conditions generally could result in impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets, or our ability to raise additional capital, if needed.
