EXPLANATORY NOTE

As previously reported by Skyline Champion Corporation (formerly known as Skyline Corporation), an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 6, 2018, on June 1, 2018, the Company and Champion Enterprises Holdings, LLC (“Champion Holdings”) completed the transactions contemplated by the Share Contribution & Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated as of January 5, 2018, by and between the Company and Champion Holdings. Under the Exchange Agreement, (i) Champion Holdings contributed to the Company all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of Champion Holdings’ wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Champion Home Builders, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CHB”), and CHB International B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (“CIBV”) (the shares of stock of CHB and CIBV contributed to the Company, the “Contributed Shares”), and (ii) in exchange for the Contributed Shares, the Company issued to the members of Champion Holdings, in the aggregate, 47,752,008 shares of the Company common stock, $0.0277 par value per share (“Skyline Common Stock”) (such issuance, the “Shares Issuance”). Immediately following the Shares Issuance, the members of Champion Holdings collectively held 84.5%, and the Company’s pre-closing shareholders collectively held 15.5%, of the issued and outstanding Skyline Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis. The contribution of the Contributed Shares by Champion Holdings to Skyline, and the Shares Issuance by the Company to the members of Champion Holdings are collectively referred to herein as the “Exchange.”

The Exchange was treated as a purchase of the Company by Champion Holdings for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As a result, the financial results for the nine months ended December 29, 2018 comprise the results of only Champion Holdings through June 1, 2018 and the Company, after giving effect to the Exchange, from June 1, 2018 through December 29, 2018. All periods prior to June 1, 2018 are comprised solely of the results of Champion Holdings.

All Company earnings per share and common share outstanding amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been calculated as if the Shares Issuance took place on April 2, 2017, at the exchange ratio, as defined in the Exchange Agreement.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Basis of Presentation and Business

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Skyline Champion Corporation (the “Company”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. In the opinion of management, these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date of the filing of this report with the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, which was filed with the SEC on June 14, 2018.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for the full year.

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest to March 31. The Company’s current fiscal year, “fiscal 2019”, will end on March 30, 2019. References to “fiscal 2018” refer to the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 each included 13 and 39 weeks, respectively.  

The Company is a leading producer of factory-built housing in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada and serves as a complete solutions provider across complementary and vertically integrated businesses including manufactured construction, company-owned retail locations, and transportation logistics services. The Company is the second largest factory-built solutions provider in North America based on revenue and markets its homes under several nationally recognized brand names including Skyline Homes, Champion Homes, Redman Homes, Dutch Housing, Excel Homes, Silvercrest, Titan Homes, Moduline, and SRI Homes. As of December 29, 2018, the Company operates 31 manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. and five manufacturing facilities in western Canada that primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed manufactured and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers and builders/developers, including manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 21 sales centers that sell manufactured homes to consumers primarily in the southern U.S. The Company’s transportation business primarily engages independent owners/drivers to transport manufactured homes and recreational vehicles throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the consolidated balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018, or the Company’s fiscal year commencing March 31, 2019. Modified retrospective application and early adoption is permitted.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company expects the impact to the Company's consolidated balance sheet will be significant. The Company (i) has formed a cross-functional implementation team; (ii) is engaging a third party to assist with the implementation, and (iii) is implementing a software solution to manage and account for leases under the new standard. The Company plans to adopt the standard by applying the modified retrospective method on the March 31, 2019 adoption date as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet, without restatement of comparative periods' financial information, based on transition guidance recently issued by the FASB. In addition, the Company expects to elect the package of practical expedients, exclusive of the lease term hindsight, as defined in the standard.

5

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments and allows a goodwill impairment charge to be based on the amount of a reporting unit’s carrying value in excess of its fair value. This eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill or what is known as “Step 2” under the current guidance. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

There were no other accounting standards recently issued that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

On January 5, 2018, Champion Holdings and the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement pursuant to which the two companies agreed to combine their operations. The Exchange was completed on June 1, 2018 and was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting as provided by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Champion Holdings was determined to be the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Champion Holdings as a result of the Exchange were recorded at their respective fair values and added to the carrying value of Champion Holdings’ existing assets and liabilities. As Champion Holdings is the accounting acquirer, reported financial results for Skyline Champion Corporation for the nine months ended December 29, 2018 comprise the results of only Champion Holdings through June 1, 2018 and the Company, after giving effect to the Exchange, from June 1, 2018 through December 29, 2018. All periods prior to June 1, 2018 are comprised solely of the results of Champion Holdings.

The purchase price of the acquisition was determined with reference to the value of equity (common stock) of the Company based on the closing price on June 1, 2018 of $33.39 per share. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using their estimated fair values at June 1, 2018, the closing of the Exchange. The purchase price and its allocation are preliminary and have been used to prepare the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The final purchase price and its allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the necessary valuations and calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The final allocation may include changes in allocations to intangible assets and other changes to the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The preliminary estimated purchase price was allocated as follows:

Preliminary estimated goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies from the combination of the companies, including, but not limited to, expected cost synergies through procurement activities and operational improvements through sharing of best practices. Goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, was allocated to the U.S. Factory-built Housing reporting unit.

Cash, trade receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities were generally stated at historical carrying values given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Intangible assets consist primarily of provisional amounts recognized for the fair value of customer relationships and trade names and were based on an independent appraisal. Customer-based assets include the Company’s established relationships with its customers and the ability of those customers to generate future economic profits for the Company. The Company estimates that these intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of ten years. Fair value estimates of property, plant and equipment were based on independent appraisals, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the appraisals were based on a combination of market and cost approaches, as appropriate. As a result of the June 2018 acquisition of Skyline Corporation, level 3 fair value estimates of $44.6 million related to property, plant and equipment and $50.7 million related to intangible assets were recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2018. For further information on acquired assets measured at fair value, see Note 6, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

The Company allocated a portion of the preliminary estimated purchase price to certain realizable deferred tax assets totaling $28.4 million. Deferred tax assets are primarily federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and credits offset by a valuation allowance for certain state net operating loss carryforwards that are not expected to be realized. The deferred tax assets are offset by deferred tax liabilities of $20.4 million resulting from the purchase price allocation step-up in fair value that exceed the historical tax basis.

Included in the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018, are results from the business acquired as follows:

A summary of the results of operations for the Company, on an as reported and on a pro forma basis, are as follows:

The pro forma results are based on adding the historical results of operations of Champion Holdings and the Company and adjusting primarily for the amortization of intangibles created in the Exchange; the increase in depreciation as a result of the step-up in fair value of property, plant and equipment; removing transaction costs directly associated with the Exchange; removing equity-based compensation expense directly resulting from the Exchange; reflecting the financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Exchange, and adjusting those items for income taxes. The pro forma disclosures do not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Exchange or any integration costs. The pro forma data is intended for informational purposes and is not indicative of the future results of operations. The Exchange was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and therefore, there was no difference between the results of operations on an as reported and pro forma basis for the three months ended December 29, 2018.

The Exchange Agreement provided that Champion Holdings was permitted to pay a capital distribution prior to completion of the Exchange to the extent it had cash in excess of debt and other debt-like items and unpaid Exchange fees and expenses. Prior to the completion of the Exchange, Champion Holdings made a capital distribution to its members equal to an aggregate of $65.3 million (of which $22.5 million was reflected as a reduction to retained earnings and $42.8 million was reflected as a reduction to members’ contributed capital).

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash. The standard requires that changes in restricted cash be reflected with changes in cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows and that a reconciliation between cash and cash equivalents presented on the balance sheet and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presented on the statement of cash flows be provided. The provisions of the standard were applied retrospectively, and the effects of adoption were not significant.

A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was as follows:

The components of net inventory, including inventory for the Company’s manufacturing and retail operations, were as follows:

At both December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018, reserves for obsolete inventory were $3.5 million.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated primarily on the straight-line method, generally over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements – 3 to 10 years; buildings and improvements – 8 to 25 years; and vehicles and machinery and equipment – 3 to 8 years. Depreciation expense, including amortization of assets under capital lease, for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 was $2.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017 was $1.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively.  

The components of property, plant, and equipment were as follows:

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. At December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had goodwill of $172.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The increase during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 was a result of goodwill recognized in the Exchange.

Intangible Assets

The components of amortizable intangible assets were as follows:

During the nine months ended December 29, 2018, the Company recognized finite-lived intangibles for customer relationships of $41.7 million and trade names of $9.0 million as a result of the allocation of the preliminary estimated purchase price from the Exchange. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach. The final determination of the customer relationship intangible asset will depend on changes to the assumptions used for projected cash flows attributable to the acquired customer relationships, the annual attrition rate of existing customer relationships, the contributory asset charges attributable to the assets that support the customer relationships, such as net working capital, property, plant and equipment, trade name, and workforce, the economic life and the discount rate as determined at the time of the final valuation. The fair value of the trade name intangible asset was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method of the income approach. The final determination of the trade names intangible asset will depend on changes to assumptions used for the expected life of the intangible asset, the royalty rate and the discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with the future cash flows as determined at the time of the final valuation. Amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 was $1.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017 was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.  

The components of other current liabilities were as follows:

Changes in the accrued warranty obligations were as follows:

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

Skyline Champion Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Continued

On June 5, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The New Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $100.0 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of not less than $45.0 million. Initial borrowings under the New Credit Agreement were used to repay the Company’s existing $46.9 million term loans (“Term Loans”) and replace the Company’s existing cash collateralized stand-alone letter of credit facility.

The New Credit Agreement matures on June 5, 2023 and has no scheduled amortization. The interest rate under the New Credit Agreement adjusts based on the first lien net leverage of the Company. From June 5, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the annual interest rate is the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75% or an alternative base rate (“ABR”) described in the New Credit Agreement plus 0.75%, at the election of the Company. Thereafter, the interest rate adjusts based on the first lien net leverage from a high of LIBOR plus 2.25% and ABR plus 1.25% when the first lien net leverage is equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00, to a low of LIBOR plus 1.50% and ABR plus 0.50% when the first lien net leverage is below 0.50:1.00. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay an unused line fee ranging between 0.40% and 0.25% (depending on the first lien net leverage) in respect of unused commitments under the New Credit Agreement. At December 29, 2018 the interest rate on borrowings under the New Credit Agreement was 4.13%.

Prior to entering into the New Credit Agreement, the Company had outstanding Term Loans of $46.9 million under a prior credit agreement with lenders that primarily included the Company’s equity holders and certain other affiliates. The interest rate on the Term Loans, priced using LIBOR plus an applicable margin, was 6.5% at March 31, 2018.

Also, prior to entering into the New Credit Agreement, the Company provided letters of credit issued by a commercial bank under a separate stand-alone facility collateralized with restricted cash of 101% of the issued letters of credit. At December 29, 2018, letters of credit issued under the New Credit Agreement totaled $21.0 million. Subsequent to entering into the New Credit Agreement, the Company is no longer required to back letters of credit with restricted cash.

Obligations under industrial revenue bonds are supported by letters of credit and bear interest based on a municipal bond index rate. The weighted-average interest rate at December 29, 2018, including related costs and fees, was 4.1%. At March 31, 2018, the weighted-average interest rate, including related costs and fees, was 3.2%. The industrial revenue bonds require lump-sum payments of principal upon maturity in 2029.

The New Credit Agreement contains covenants that restrict the amount of additional debt, liens and certain payments, including equity buybacks, investments, dispositions, mergers and consolidations, among other restrictions as defined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the New Credit Agreement as of December 29, 2018.

Floor Plan Payable

The Company’s retail operations utilize floor plan financing to fund the acquisition of manufactured homes for display or resale. At December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding borrowings on floor plan financing agreements of $39.0 million and $29.8 million, respectively. Total available borrowings under the agreements as of December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018 were $47.0 million and $43.0 million, respectively. Borrowings are secured by the homes and are required to be repaid when the Company sells the home to a customer. 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an amendment on revenue recognition. The amendment created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”) and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendment supersedes the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and created new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606 an entity recognizes revenue in a manner that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method as applied to customer contracts that were not completed as of March 31, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning after March 31, 2018, are presented in accordance with ASC 606 while prior reporting periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies prior to the adoption of ASC 606. There was not a material impact to revenues as a result of applying ASC 606 for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 and the post-adoption effects to the Company’s business processes, systems or internal controls were not significant.

The Company’s revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied which generally occurs with the transfer of control of products. The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide manufactured homes, modular homes, park models, commercial structures and transportation services. Generally, the Company’s contracts do not provide for a specified quantity of

11

products and may be terminated by the Company’s customers at any time. Historically, terminations of these contracts have been minimal. The Company receives signed sales quotes from its customers, which provide the terms for a specific home, including price. The Company also has agreements with certain customers that provide for certain variable considerations such as volume discounts that are deducted from the contract price and accrued at the time of sale. In certain situations, the Company may receive payment in advance of completion of its contractual obligations. In these situations, the arising contract liability is classified within customer deposits and receipts in excess of revenues. Following the receipt of the customer deposit, the Company typically completes its performance obligation within a twelve-month period.

For sales to independent retailers and builders/developers, revenue is recognized at the point in time when wholesale floor plan financing or retailer credit approval has been received, the home has shipped and title has been transferred, which occurs when the Company has satisfied its contractual obligations and the control of its products has been transferred. The Company does not have an enforceable right to payment prior to shipment. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. The Company’s customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary within the industry. As is customary in the factory-built housing industry, a significant portion of the Company’s sales to independent retailers are financed under floor plan financing programs with certain third-party lenders. Floor plan financing arrangements are generally identified prior to shipment of products and payment for sales financed under floor plan programs is generally received 5 to 10 business days from the date of invoice.

For retail sales to consumers from Company-owned retail sales centers, for which substantially all sales are of Company manufactured products, revenue is recognized when the home has been delivered, set up and accepted by the consumer, title has transferred and, depending on the nature of the transaction, either funds have been received from the finance company or directly from the home buyer.

The Company recognizes commercial revenue and related cost of sales for long-term construction contracts (“Commercial”) over time as performance obligations are satisfied using the percentage-of-completion method (input method). Management estimates the stage of completion on each construction project based on progress and costs incurred. Unbilled revenue on long-term construction contracts are classified as a contract asset in accounts receivable. Receipts in excess of billings are classified as contract liabilities and included in other current liabilities. At December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018, uncollected billings related to long-term construction contracts totaled $1.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively. At December 29, 2018, there was no unbilled revenue for long-term contracts. At March 31, 2018, unbilled revenue for long-term construction contracts was $0.3 million.

Revenue for the Company’s transportation operations is recognized when a shipment has been delivered to its final destination. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from net sales. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred. Sales commissions are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

The following tables disaggregate the Company’s revenue by sales category for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018:

Other expense for the three months ended December 29, 2018 consisted of $0.1 million for the deductible on an insured loss at one of the Company’s retail sales centers. Other expense for the nine months ended December 29, 2018 was primarily related to legal, accounting and advisory services attributable to the Exchange of $6.9 million as well as $0.8 million for legal and advisory services related to three public offerings for the Company’s common stock. During the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, the Company incurred expenses of $2.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to legal, accounting and advisory services attributable to the Exchange. The Company also incurred $0.1 million of expenses related to a prior acquisition and the disposition of the Company’s former business unit in the United Kingdom during the nine months ended December 30, 2017.

For the three months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, the Company recorded $4.4 million and $15.1 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 29.7% and 73.6%, respectively. For the nine months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 the Company recorded $13.7 million and $22.1 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of (25.5%) and 55.0%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018, compared with the same periods of 2017, was primarily due to costs related to the Exchange for which no tax benefit can be recognized including non-deductible equity-based compensation and the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new corporate income tax rate of 21%, from 35%, under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law on December 22, 2017 (the “Tax Act”).

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, due primarily to the effect of non-deductible expenses, state and local income taxes, one-time charges related to the Exchange and results of operations in foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, was impacted by the IRS rules relating to transitional income tax rates for companies with a fiscal year end resulting in a blended federal statutory rate of 31.5% for fiscal 2018 as well as the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new corporate income tax rate of 21%, from 35% under the Tax Act. In addition, the Company’s effective tax rate was impacted by the effect of non-deductible expenses, state and local income taxes, results in foreign jurisdictions and non-taxable entities.

The Company continued its analysis of the Tax Act during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 which resulted in no change to the provisional amounts recorded in fiscal 2018 related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. As of December 29, 2018, the Company completed its analysis of the impact of the Tax Act and the amounts are no longer considered provisional.

During the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018, the Company’s uncertain tax positions decreased by $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. The Company estimates that the expected change to the total amount of uncertain tax benefits in the next twelve months will be an increase of $0.1 million due to additional accrual of interest and penalties. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Net interest expense for the periods presented herein was not significant.

Champion Holdings granted awards to its officers, management employees and certain members of the Board of Managers under an equity-classified management incentive plan (the “MIP”). In accordance with the provisions of the MIP, as modified on June 1, 2018, unvested units of Champion Holdings granted under the MIP were exchanged for unregistered, time-vesting restricted shares and performance-vesting restricted shares of the Company subject to stock restriction agreements (the “SRAs”). The time-vesting restricted shares generally vest 20% per year over a five-year period, upon a change of control, or upon the occurrence of a follow-on public offering as defined in the SRAs. A portion of the performance-vesting restricted shares vested upon a follow-on public offering as defined in the SRAs. The remaining performance-vesting restricted shares vested based on meeting specified per share volume weighted average price targets subsequent to a follow-on public offering of the Company or upon a change of control as defined in the SRAs. During the three months ended September 29, 2018, a significant portion of the outstanding restricted shares vested in conjunction with certain follow-on public offerings.  

On September 26, 2018, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) which provides for grants of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock and stock units, performance awards, and other awards convertible into or otherwise based on shares of the Company’s common stock. The full text of the Equity Plan was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 26, 2018. Prior to the approval of the Equity Plan, the Company maintained the Skyline Corporation 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, which allowed for the grant of stock options and other equity awards.

Equity-based compensation expense of $3.7 million and $97.6 million was recognized during the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018, respectively. Equity-based compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.5 million was recognized during the three and nine

months ended December 30, 2017. Equity-based compensation expense was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). As of December 29, 2018, the Company had 464,000 unvested time-vesting restricted shares issued to employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $32.03 per share and an average remaining service period of nine months. No other unvested shares were outstanding. Compensation expense for unvested shares is recognized over the vesting period.

Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) attributable to the Company was computed using the two-class method by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company, after deducting undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s time-vesting and performance-vesting restricted shares are considered participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on the more dilutive of: (i) the two-class method, assuming the participating securities are not exercised or converted; or (ii) the summation of average common shares outstanding and additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. During the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, diluted earnings per share was more dilutive under the two-class method. Securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were antidilutive are described Note 13. The number of shares used to calculate earnings per share prior to the Exchange was determined based on the exchange ratio, as defined in the Exchange.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

Prior to the Exchange, the Company was party to a Management Advisory Services Agreement (“Services Agreement”) with Centerbridge Advisors, LLC; MAK Management L.P.; and Sankaty Advisors, LLC (collectively, the “Managers”), affiliates of which collectively owned a majority of the units of Champion Holdings and the Company’s common stock (the “Principal Shareholders”), whereby the Principal Shareholders provided management, consulting, financial and other advisory services to Champion Holdings in exchange for an annual management fee totaling $1.5 million plus reimbursable expenses. Management fee expense during fiscal 2019, recognized prior to the Exchange, was $0.3 million. The Service Agreement was terminated in connection with the Exchange. Management fee expense was $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, respectively. Management fee expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

The Company operates in two reportable segments: (i) U.S. Factory-built Housing, which includes wholesale and retail housing operations and (ii) Canadian Factory-built Housing. Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation operations, corporate costs directly incurred for all segments and intersegment eliminations. Segments are generally determined by geography. Segment data includes intersegment revenues and corporate office costs that are directly and exclusively incurred for each segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them primarily based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Total assets for Corporate/Other primarily include cash and certain deferred tax items not specifically allocated to another segment.

Repurchase Contingencies and Guarantees

As is customary in the manufactured housing industry, a significant portion of the Company’s sales to independent retailers are made pursuant to repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to retailers. The Company enters into two types of repurchase agreements, (i) those that allow repurchase up to 24 months after the sale of a home to the retailer, and (ii) those that allow for repurchase until the home is sold by the retailer. For those homes sold to retailers with an unlimited repurchase period, the Company’s risk of loss upon repurchase declines due to required monthly principal payments by the retailer. After 24 or 30 months from the date of the Company’s sale of the home, the risk of loss on these homes is low, and by the 46th. month, most programs require that the home be paid in full, at which time the Company no longer has risk of loss. During the repurchase period, generally upon default by the retailer and repossession by the financial institution, the Company is obligated to repurchase the homes from the lender. Before including the reduction from the resale value of the homes, the contingent repurchase obligation as of December 29, 2018 was estimated to be approximately $190.4 million. Losses under repurchase obligations represent the difference between the repurchase price and net proceeds from the resale of the homes, less accrued rebates, which will not be paid. Losses incurred on homes repurchased were immaterial during each of the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017. The reserve for estimated losses under repurchase agreements was $0.8 million at December 29, 2018 and $0.7 million at March 31, 2018.

The Company guarantees a portion of its customers’ floor plan obligations beyond the customary repurchase arrangements discussed above. The Company has agreed to guarantee from 3% to 50% of certain retailers’ outstanding loans to a floor plan lender. At December 29, 2018, those guarantees totaled $0.8 million of which $0.8 million was outstanding.

At December 29, 2018, the Company was contingently obligated for approximately $21.0 million under letters of credit, primarily consisting of $12.6 million to support long-term debt, $7.9 million to support the casualty insurance program, $0.2 million to support repurchase obligations, and $0.3 million to support bonding agreements. The letters of credit are backed by a sub-facility under the New Credit Agreement. The Company was also contingently obligated for $29.8 million under surety bonds, generally to support performance on long-term construction contracts, license and service bonding requirements.

In the normal course of business, the Company’s former subsidiaries that operated in the United Kingdom historically provided certain guarantees to two customers. Those guarantees provide contractual liability for proven construction defects up to 12 years from the date of delivery of certain products. The guarantees remain a contingent liability of the Company which declines over time through October 2027. As of the date of this report, no claims have been reported under the terms of the guarantees.

Legal Proceedings

The Company has agreed to indemnify counterparties in the ordinary course of its business in agreements to acquire and sell business assets and in financing arrangements. The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. As of the date of this filing, the Company believes the ultimate liability with respect to these contingent obligations will not have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The following should be read in conjunction with Skyline Champion Corporation’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear in Item I of this Report.

Overview

Skyline Champion Corporation (prior to the Exchange (as described below) “Champion Holdings” and subsequent to the Exchange the “Company”) is a leading producer of factory-built housing in the U.S. and Canada. The Company serves as a complete solutions provider across complementary and vertically integrated businesses including manufactured construction, company-owned retail locations, and transportation logistics services. The Company is the second largest factory-built solutions provider in North America based on revenue and markets its homes under several nationally recognized brand names including Skyline Homes, Champion Homes, Redman Homes, Dutch Housing, Excel Homes, Silvercrest, Titan Homes, Moduline, and SRI Homes. The Company operates 31 manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. and five manufacturing facilities in western Canada that primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed manufactured and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers and builders/developers, including manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 21 sales centers that sell manufactured homes to consumers primarily in the Southern U.S. The Company’s transportation business primarily engages independent owners/drivers to transport manufactured homes and recreational vehicles throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Acquisitions and Expansions

Over the last several years, market demand for the Company’s products, primarily affordable housing in the U.S., has continued to improve. As a result, the Company has focused on operational improvements to make existing manufacturing facilities more profitable as well as executing measured expansion of its manufacturing and retail footprint.

In response to the increasing demand for factory-built housing in the U.S., the Company has increased capacity through strategic acquisitions and expansions of its manufacturing footprint. The Company is focused on growing in strong HUD-markets across the U.S. as well as further expanding into the Northeast and Midwest U.S. modular housing markets. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed its expansion of the Corona, California facility by adding a second production line. In October 2017, the Company entered into a lease for two factory-built housing plants in Leesville, Louisiana, one of which the Company expects to begin operations in June 2019. The Company is expanding is Leola, Pennsylvania campus and opening an additional plant with operations expected to begin in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. In April 2017, the Company completed the purchase of a factory-built housing plant in Mansfield, Texas, from Skyline Corporation. In September 2016, the Company, through a series of transactions, completed the purchase of the assets of Innovative Building Systems, LLC and Subsidiaries (“IBS” or “IBS Acquisition”), which included five modular manufacturing facilities and two retail sales centers in the Northeast and Midwest U.S. In January 2017, the Company restarted operations at the Liverpool, Pennsylvania location, one of the acquired modular facilities from IBS. The other former IBS facilities remain idle. In addition to these strategic acquisitions, during fiscal 2017, the Company leased and opened a manufacturing facility in Benton, Kentucky as well as reopened a previously idled facility in Topeka, Indiana. The Topeka facility began operations in February 2017. Production at the Benton facility began in August 2016.

The Company has also focused on expansion of its company-owned retail operations, opening three additional retail sales centers during fiscal 2018, five during fiscal 2017 and three during fiscal 2016. Management believes retail expansion provides an opportunity to increase the Company’s presence in market segments that are not currently served through our independent retail network, while also providing for expansion and increased utilization of our existing manufacturing operations.

These acquisitions and investments are part of a strategy to grow and diversify revenue with a focus on increasing the Company’s HUD and modular homebuilding presence in the U.S. as well as improving the results of operations. These acquisitions and investments are included in the consolidated results for periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates.

Combination with Skyline

On January 5, 2018, Champion Holdings and the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement pursuant to which the two companies agreed to combine their operations. The Exchange was completed on June 1, 2018, and was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting as provided by FASB Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Champion Holdings was determined to be the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Champion Holdings as a result of the Exchange were recorded at their respective fair values and added to the carrying value of Champion Holdings existing assets and liabilities. As Champion Holdings is the accounting acquirer, reported financial results for Skyline Champion Corporation for the nine months ended December 29, 2018 comprise the results of only Champion Holdings through June 1, 2018 and the Company, after giving effect to the Exchange, from June 1, 2018 through December 29, 2018. All fiscal periods prior to June 1, 2018 are comprised solely of the results of Champion Holdings.

Industry and Company Outlook

For the nine months ended December 29, 2018, approximately 76% of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing sales were generated from the manufacture of homes that comply with the Federal HUD-code construction standard in the U.S. The Company measures and reports on U.S. HUD market share one month in arrears. During the eight months ended November 30, 2018, industry shipments of HUD-code homes were 65,036 a 4.5% improvement over 62,255 units shipped in same period of the prior year. The Company’s HUD market share during that period was 16.2% versus 13.8% in the comparable period of the prior year. Sales of HUD-code homes have been increasing steadily since 2009, when 50,000 HUD-code homes were sold. Fewer factory-built homes were sold in 2009 than in any year since 1959. While HUD-code factory-built home shipments have improved modestly over the past few years, the industry continues to operate at relatively low levels compared to historical shipment statistics. For instance, the long-term average for manufactured home shipments since 1960 is 224,000 units per year.

Industry shipments of modular homes in the U.S. during the Company’s fiscal 2018 totaled 14,287 units, reflecting a slight increase from shipments in the comparable period of 2017. Modular home sales across the industry have generally been stable since 2009. During the nine months ended December 29, 2018, approximately 19% of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing sales were modular. The Company’s modular home presence has improved due to the IBS Acquisition.

Champion Holdings was headquartered in Troy, Michigan and was formed in 2010 as a Delaware limited liability company. Champion Holdings’ predecessor began operations in 1953. Subsequent to the Exchange, the Company is headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana.
