Basis of Presentation and Business

Nature of Operations: Skyline Champion Corporation (the “Company”) is a leading producer of factory-built housing in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada. The Company’s operations consist of manufacturing, retail, and transportation activities. The Company operates 33 manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. and five manufacturing facilities in western Canada. These facilities primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed manufactured, and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers, builders/developers, and manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 18 sales centers that sell manufactured houses to consumers primarily in the Southern U.S. The Company’s transportation business engages independent owners/drivers to transport manufactured homes, recreational vehicles and other products throughout the U.S. and Canada.

COVID-19 Government Financial Assistance: The outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. Various government programs have been announced to provide financial relief for affected businesses, including the Employee Retention Credit under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and state level programs in the United States and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan in Canada. The Company recognized $6.2 million for payroll subsidies under CEWS during the nine months ended December 26, 2020. No payroll subsidy was recognized under CEWS during the three months ended December 26, 2020. The Company also recognized $0.2 million and $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 for wage subsidies under the CARES Act and other state level programs in the United States. The Company’s policy is to account for these subsidies as Other Income in the period in which the related costs are incurred and the Company is reasonably assured to receive payment. As of December 26, 2020, the Company had collected all of the CEWS subsidies for which it has applied. In addition, the CARES Act allows for deferring payment of certain payroll taxes. Through December 26, 2020, the Company has deferred $11.6 million of payroll taxes that will be paid beginning in December 2021.

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 condensed 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 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on May 21, 2020 (the “Fiscal 2020 Annual Report”).

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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated income statements, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, 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.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

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 2021,” will end on April 3, 2021 and will include 53 weeks. References to “fiscal 2020” refer to the Company’s fiscal year ended March 28, 2020. The three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 each included 13 weeks and 39 weeks, respectively.  

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: On March 29, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” using a modified retrospective approach. The standard amends several aspects of the measurement of credit losses related to certain financial instruments, including the replacement of the existing incurred credit loss model and other models with the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model. The cumulative effect of adoption resulted in an increase of $0.2 million in the allowance for credit loss and a corresponding decrease in retained earnings as of March 29, 2020. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost reflects management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience, as well as current economic conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as changes to expected credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. As of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, accounts receivable are reflected net of reserves of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, other notes receivable are reflected net of reserves of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Changes in expected credit losses were not significant in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.  

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which addresses concerns over the cost and complexity of the two-step impairment testing model, and removes the second step

of the test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04 effective March 29, 2020, and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company's 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.

The Company has an agreement with a syndicate of banks that 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 (“Credit Agreement”). The revolving credit facility allows the Company to draw down, repay and re-draw loans on the available funds during the term of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement matures on June 5, 2023 and has no scheduled amortization. The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement adjusts based on the first lien net leverage of the Company 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 0.25% and 0.40% (depending on the first lien net leverage) in respect of unused commitments under the Credit Agreement. At December 26, 2020 the interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 1.7%. At December 26, 2020, letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement totaled $33.9 million and total available borrowings were $39.2 million.

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 26, 2020, including related costs and fees, was 2.19%. The industrial revenue bonds require lump-sum payments of principal upon maturity in 2029.

The 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 Credit Agreement as of December 26, 2020.

Floor Plan Payable

The Company’s retail operations utilize floor plan financing to fund the purchase of manufactured homes for display or resale. At December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, the Company had outstanding borrowings on floor plan financing agreements of $25.6 million and $33.9 million, respectively. Total credit line capacity provided under the agreements was $49.0 million as of December 26, 2020. Borrowings are secured by the homes and are required to be repaid when the Company sells the home to a customer.

The discount rate used to measure a lease obligation should be the rate implicit in the lease; however, the Company’s operating leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Accordingly, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is an entity-specific rate, which represents the rate of interest a lessee would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company recorded $5.3 million and $6.3 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 19.7% and 27.0%, respectively. For the nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company recorded $15.5 million and $20.5 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 23.3% and 28.2%, respectively. During the three months ended December 26, 2020, the Company completed a U.S. research and development ("R&D") tax credit study for the years 2018 and 2019 that resulted in the recognition of a tax benefit of $1.7 million.

The Company’s effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of non-deductible expenses, state and local income taxes, tax credits, and results in foreign jurisdictions.

At December 26, 2020, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to uncertain tax benefits in the next twelve months. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per share (“EPS”) attributable to the Company was computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Certain of the Company’s time-based restricted share awards were considered participating securities prior to the completion of the vesting period. The vesting for these time-based shares was completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. 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 nine months ended December 26, 2020, and the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019, the two-class method was more dilutive. The two-class method was not applicable to the computation for the three months ended December 26, 2020 as the time-vested restricted share awards were fully vested and no longer considered participating securities during the period. Securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were considered antidilutive in the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 totaled 0.2 million. There were no antidilutive securities in the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019.

Segment Information

Financial results for the Company's reportable segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments primarily based on net sales, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and operating assets.

The Company operates in two reportable segments: (i) U.S. Factory-built Housing, which includes manufacturing 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. Total assets for Corporate/Other primarily includes cash and certain deferred tax items not specifically allocated to another segment.

Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Proceedings

Repurchase Contingencies and Guarantees

The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to retailers. These arrangements, which are customary in the manufactured housing industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer on their agreement to pay the financial institution. The risk of loss from these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product less contractually defined curtailment payments. Excluding the resale value of the homes, the contingent repurchase obligation as of December 26, 2020 was estimated to be $148.8 million. The Company accounts for the guarantees under its repurchase agreements with the retailers’ financing

institutions by estimating and deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the repurchase obligation. In addition, the Company has estimated the expected contingent net loss the Company will incur upon resale of any repurchases. These estimates are based on recent historical experience supplemented by management’s assessment of current economic and other conditions affecting retailers for which the Company has a contingent repurchase obligation. Based on these repurchase agreements and historical loss experience, as well as current economic conditions and forecasts that affect the potential loss exposure, a loss reserve of $0.9 million and $1.0 million was recorded as of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, respectively. Losses incurred on homes repurchased were not significant during the three or nine month periods ended December 26, 2020 or December 28, 2019.

At December 26, 2020, the Company was contingently obligated for $33.9 million under letters of credit, primarily consisting of $12.6 million to support long-term debt, $21.0 million to support the casualty insurance program, and $0.3 million to support bonding agreements. The letters of credit are issued from a sub-facility of the Credit Agreement. The Company was also contingently obligated for $34.3 million under surety bonds, generally to support performance on long-term construction contracts and 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, the Company expects few, if any, claims to be 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.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’ S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following should be read in conjunction with Skyline Champion Corporation’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear in Item 1 of this Report.

Overview

Skyline Champion Corporation (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 offsite construction, company-owned retail locations, and transportation logistics services. The Company is the largest independent publicly traded factory-built solutions provider in North America (based on revenue) and markets its homes under several nationally recognized brand names including Skyline Homes, Champion Home Builders, Genesis Homes, Athens Park Models, Dutch Housing, Excel Homes, Homes of Merit, New Era, Redman Homes, Shore Park, Silvercrest, Titan Homes in the U.S., and Moduline and SRI Homes in western Canada. The Company operates 33 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, builders/developers, and manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 18 sales centers that sell manufactured homes to consumers primarily in the southern U.S. The Company’s transportation business engages independent owners/drivers to transport manufactured homes and recreational vehicles and other products throughout the U.S. and Canada.

 

Industry and Company Outlook

In recent years, manufactured home construction experienced revenue growth due to a number of favorable demographic trends and demand drivers in the United States, including underlying growth trends in key homebuyer groups, such as the population over 65 years of age, the population of first-time home buyers, and the population of households earning less than $50,000 per year. More recently, we see a number of market trends pointing to increased sales of Alternative Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) and urban-to-rural migration as customers accommodate working-from-home patterns, as well as people seeking rent-to-own single-family options. We intend to capitalize on these trends and drivers to grow our business over the medium-to-long-term. We believe that there is an opportunity for continued manufactured and modular construction market expansion driven by the foregoing trends and demand drivers, as well as construction labor shortages in certain regions (which tend to adversely and disproportionally impact supply and cost of site-built homes when compared to manufactured housing) and increased affordability of factory-built homes relative to site-built homes.

For the nine months ended December 26, 2020, approximately 77% 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. Industry shipments of HUD-code homes were

86,769 during the eleven months ended November 30, 2020 compared to 87,897 units shipped in same period of the prior year. The Company’s HUD market share during the eleven-month period ended November 30, 2020 was 15.7% versus 17.1% in the comparable period of the prior year. Annual industry shipments have generally increased each calendar year since 2009 when only 50,000 HUD code manufactured homes were shipped, the lowest level since the industry began recording statistics in 1959. While shipments of HUD code manufactured homes have improved modestly in recent years, manufactured housing’s most recent annual shipment levels still operate at lower levels than the long-term historical average of over 200,000 units annually.

For the nine months ended December 26, 2020, approximately 17% of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing sales were modular. The industry historically reported U.S. modular market shipments quarterly and three months in arrears. However, reporting of industry shipment data is unavailable, and is expected to remain unavailable for the foreseeable future. Industry shipments of modular homes in the U.S. were 14,690 in calendar year 2019. The Company’s modular market share during this period was 13.9%.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. There remains continued uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the economy, the housing market, and the Company, as well as the Company’s employees, customers, and suppliers.

The Company has prioritized the safety and well-being of its employees and customers and has implemented standards to operate in accordance with social-distancing protocols and public health authority guidelines. Beginning in March 2020, the Company took actions to temporarily idle certain facilities in response to government shutdown orders or reduced demand. By late April 2020, most of the temporarily idled manufacturing facilities had reopened, but at reduced production levels due to employee absenteeism, difficulty hiring new team members and social distancing protocols. As of December 26, 2020, only one manufacturing facility remained temporarily idled due to labor availability constraints. During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2021, the Company experienced intermittent closures due to COVID-19 outbreaks at the facilities or surrounding communities causing higher than normal absenteeism.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company was able to increase daily production rates over the levels achieved in the prior year period as direct labor staffing levels increased and production efficiencies improved. As of December 26, 2020, availability of labor and certain materials have improved compared to earlier in fiscal 2021, but remain subject to disruption and uncertainty. Prices for key raw materials have experienced increased volatility and, overall, manufacturing costs have trended higher than prior periods.

15


 

Since the start of the fiscal year, the Company’s retail operations have adjusted their operating procedures to comply with local and state mandates; and have generally remained open but have shifted physical visits to a larger on-line presence. The Company consolidated its retail footprint by closing three retail sales centers during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 in an effort to optimize costs while taking advantage of an increase in distribution through digital marketing efforts. We have strong local independent retailers to serve customers in those areas.

In response to the pandemic, the Company offered extended benefits to employees, including increased sick pay and waived premium payments on healthcare benefits for furloughed employees. The Company’s U.S. operations incurred $2.2 million of expense related to those extended benefits. Various government programs have been announced to provide financial relief for affected businesses, including the Employee Retention Credit under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and state level programs in the United States and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan in Canada. CEWS provides a cash subsidy of up to 75% of eligible employees’ remuneration, subject to certain criteria. The Company recognized $6.2 million for payroll subsidies under CEWS during the nine months ended December 26, 2020. No payroll subsidy was recognized under CEWS during the three months ended December 26, 2020. The Company also recognized $0.2 million and $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 for wage subsidies under the CARES Act and other state level programs in the United States. In addition, the CARES Act allows for deferring payment of certain payroll taxes. Through December 26, 2020, the Company has deferred $11.6 million of payroll taxes that will be paid beginning in December 2021.

Net sales for the three months ended December 26, 2020 were $377.6 million, an increase of $35.3 million, or 10.3% over the three months ended December 28, 2019. The following is a summary of the change by operating segment.

U.S. Factory-built Housing:

Net sales for the Company’s U.S. manufacturing and retail operations increased by $31.5 million, or 10.3%. The increase was due to an increase in the number of homes sold of 6.2% and an increase in average home selling price of 4.0%. The increase in the number of homes sold is due to strong demand which has resulted in increased production levels at many of Company’s manufacturing locations. The average selling price increased due to pricing actions enacted in response to rising material costs, partially offset by a shift in product mix. Product mix fluctuations result from consumer preferences regarding the sizes and styles of homes selected for purchase, options and upgrade packages, as well as regional housing dynamics.

Canadian Factory-built Housing:

The Canadian Factory-built Housing segment net sales increased by $3.5 million, or 15.5% for the three months ended December 26, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a 15.2% increase in the number of homes sold and an increase of 0.4% in the average home selling price. The increase in the number of homes sold is due to stronger demand compared to the same period last year which has resulted in increased production levels at the Company’s Canadian manufacturing locations. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Canadian segment were unfavorably impacted by approximately $0.1 million due to fluctuations in the translation of Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Corporate/Other:

Net sales for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation business and the elimination of intersegment sales. For the three months ended December 26, 2020, net sales increased $0.3 million, or 1.8%. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net sales in the Company’s transportation business from increased manufactured home and RV shipments.

Gross profit as a percent of sales during the three months ended December 26, 2020 was 19.0% compared to 20.1% during the three months ended December 28, 2019. The following is a summary of the change by operating segment.

U.S. Factory-built Housing:

Gross profit for the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment increased by $1.7 million, or 2.8%, during the three months ended December 26, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased sales volume. Gross profit as a percent of segment net sales was 18.7% for the three months ended December 26, 2020 compared to 20.1% in the same period of the prior year primarily due to increased material costs caused by market volatility in certain commodities including forest products, partially offset by direct labor efficiencies and increased leverage of fixed costs caused by higher sales volumes.

Canadian Factory-built Housing:

Gross profit for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment increased by $0.9 million, or 19.1% during the three months ended December 26, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 20.4% for the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 19.8% in the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to higher sales volume, as well as pricing actions taken to offset material cost inflation.

Corporate/Other:

Gross profit for the Corporate/Other segment increased $0.3 million, or 8.8%, during the three months ended December 26, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to changes in revenue mix.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $44.3 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020, a decrease of $1.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The following is a summary of the change by operating segment.

 

 

U.S. Factory-built Housing:

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment decreased $0.7 million, or 2.2%, during the three months ended December 26, 2020 as compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percent of segment net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 9.3% for the three months ended December 26, 2020 compared to 10.5% during the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease resulted from a reduction in costs for travel and marketing-related expenses partially offset by increased sales commissions and incentive compensation, which is generally based on sales volume or a measure of profitability.

Canadian Factory-built Housing:

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment decreased $0.3, or 10.0%, million for three months ended December 26, 2020 when compared to the same period of the prior year. As a percent of segment net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses for the Canadian segment was 10.2% and 13.1% for the three months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was a result of increased leverage of fixed costs due to increased sales volumes.

Corporate/Other:

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation operations, corporate costs incurred for all segments, and intersegment eliminations. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for Corporate/Other increased $0.1

18


 

million, or 0.6%, during the three months ended December 26, 2020 as compared to the same period of the prior year. Increases in professional fees and other administrative costs were mostly offset by a reduction in equity compensation expense and integration costs from the 2018 combination of Skyline Corporation and the operating assets of Champion Enterprises Holding, LLC (the “2018 Combination”).

Interest expense, net was $0.8 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020, an increase of $0.5 million compared to the same period of the prior year. The net increase in expense was due to a reduction in interest income earned on the Company’s cash balances invested in short-term facilities and reduced interest expense on the Company’s borrowings, both due to a reduction in interest rates.

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 26, 2020 was $5.3 million, representing an effective tax rate of 19.7%, compared to income tax expense of $6.3 million, representing an effective tax rate of 27.0%, for the three months ended December 28, 2019. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company completed a U.S. R&D tax credit study for the years 2018 and 2019 that resulted in recognition of a tax benefit of $1.7 million. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 26, 2020 compared with the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to an increase in tax credits, certain U.S. tax law changes and results in foreign jurisdictions.

The Company’s effective tax rate for both the three months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0%, due primarily to the effect of non-deductible expenses, state and local income taxes, tax credits, and results in foreign jurisdictions.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 26, 2020 was $32.1 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily a result of higher operating income after adjusting for the effect of integration costs and equity-based compensation incurred in the prior year. The increase in operating income is primarily due to increased sales volume.

Net sales for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 were $973.2 million, a decrease of $95.4 million, or 8.9% over the nine months ended December 28, 2019. The following is a summary of the change by operating segment.

21


 

U.S. Factory-built Housing:

Net sales for the Company’s U.S. manufacturing and retail operations decreased by $80.7 million, or 8.5%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of homes sold during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 of 9.3%, partially offset by an increase in the average home selling price of 1.0%. U.S. housing sales volumes were severely impacted by COVID-19-related factors in the first few months of the fiscal year. Production facilities operated at reduced levels as compared to the prior year due to employee hiring constraints, social-distancing protocols and, in some areas, reduced demand. Production and demand levels began to return to more normal pre-COVID-19 levels during the second quarter and production levels have continued to increase during the third quarter. The average home selling price increased due to a shift in product mix versus the same period last year.

Canadian Factory-built Housing:

The Canadian Factory-built Housing segment net sales decreased by $6.8 million, or 9.3% for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a 6.9% decrease in the number of homes sold, coupled with a 2.6% decrease in average home selling price. The decrease in volume was due to reduced demand and production primarily from oil-related demand drivers and the impacts of COVID-19 for first few months of the fiscal year. Production and demand levels began to return to more normal pre-COVID-19 levels during the second quarter and production levels have continued to increase during the third quarter. The decrease in average selling price is due to a shift in product mix. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Canadian segment were unfavorably impacted by approximately $0.9 million due to fluctuations in the translation of Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Corporate/Other:

Net sales for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation business and the elimination of intersegment sales. For the nine months ended December 26, 2020, net sales decreased $7.9 million, or 16.9%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales as a result of lower shipments caused by COVID-19-related manufacturing shutdowns in both the RV and manufactured housing industries experienced mainly in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast regions in the first few months of the fiscal year. As production in the RV and manufactured housing industries started to normalize to pre-COVID-19 levels, shipments of these products also started to increase during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2021.

U.S. Factory-built Housing:

Gross profit for the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment decreased by $29.0 million, or 14.9%, during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross profit was 19.1% as a percent of segment net sales for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared to 20.5% in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in gross profit is due to increased material costs from market volatility in certain commodities, primarily forest products, reduced leverage of manufacturing fixed costs caused by reduced sales volumes, as well as the supplemental COVID-19-related sick pay and health benefits provided to employees totaling approximately $2.2 million.

Canadian Factory-built Housing:

Gross profit for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment decreased by $2.2 million, or 14.2% during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower sales volume. Gross profit as a percent of net sales

22


 

was 19.6% for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 20.7% in the same period of the prior year due to increased material costs from market volatility in certain commodities, primarily forest products, and reduced leverage of manufacturing fixed costs caused by reduced sales volumes.

Corporate/Other:

Gross profit for the Corporate/Other segment increased $0.7 million, or 7.9%, during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to increased net sales in the Company’s transportation operations. Gross profit improved as a percent of segment net sales to 25.3% from 19.4% as a result of changes in revenue mix and expansion of storage offerings.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses resulted from a combination of factors which include: (i) a reduction in travel and trade show expenses; (ii) lower sales commissions and incentive compensation, which is generally based on sales volume or a measure of profitability; and (iii) lower wage expense from headcount reductions and furloughs in response to COVID-19.

Canadian Factory-built Housing:

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment decreased $0.8 million, or 11.5%, for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 when compared to the same period of the prior year. Selling, general, and administrative expenses, as a percent of segment net sales decreased to 9.0% for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared to 9.3% during the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses resulted from a reduction in travel and other administrative costs, as well as lower wage expense from headcount reductions and furloughs in response to COVID-19.

Corporate/Other:

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation operations, corporate costs incurred for all segments, and intersegment eliminations. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for Corporate/Other decreased $4.7 million, or 13.2%, during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease is due to a reduction in equity compensation costs, incentive and travel expenses as well as no longer incurring costs related to integration activities from the 2018 Combination, and a fair value adjustment of an asset classified as held for sale recorded in the prior year.

Interest expense, net was $2.6 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, an increase of $1.6 million compared to the same period of the prior year. The net increase in expense was primarily due to higher average revolver balances combined with a reduction of interest income earned on the Company’s cash balances invested in short-term facilities and reduced interest expense on the Company’s borrowings, both due to a reduction in interest rates.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 was $15.5 million, representing an effective tax rate of 23.3%, compared to income tax expense of $20.5 million, representing an effective tax rate of 28.2% for the nine months ended December 28, 2019. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company completed a U.S. R&D tax credit study for the years 2018 and 2019 that resulted in recognition of a tax benefit of $1.7 million. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared with the same respective period of the prior year was primarily due to an increase in tax credits, certain U.S. tax law changes and results in foreign jurisdictions.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0%, due primarily to the effect of non-deductible expenses, state and local income taxes, tax credits, and results in foreign jurisdictions.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 was $83.5 million, a decrease of $10.8 million from the same period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily a result of lower operating income after adjusting for the effects of integration costs and the fair market value adjustment for an asset classified as held for sale incurred in the prior year. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to a decrease in sales volume and a decrease in gross margin, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss plus: (a) the provision for income taxes; (b) interest expense, net; (c) depreciation and amortization; (d) gain or loss from discontinued operations; (e) equity-based compensation awards granted prior to December 31, 2018; (f) restructuring charges; (g) impairment of assets; and (h) other non-operating costs including those for the acquisition and integration or disposition of businesses and idle facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of earnings calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net sales, operating income, or earnings per share prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors to evaluate its performance and that of its competitors. However, the Company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in its industry.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, investors should be aware that, in the future, the Company may incur expenses similar to those adjusted for in this presentation. This presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an implication that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA:

 

does not reflect the interest expense on our debt;

 

excludes impairments; and

 

does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

 

other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Given these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only on a supplemental basis.

BACKLOG

Although orders from customers can be cancelled at any time without penalty, and unfilled orders are not necessarily an indication of future business, the Company’s unfilled U.S. and Canadian manufacturing orders at December 26, 2020 totaled $488.5 million compared to $133.1 million at December 28, 2019. The increase in backlog is driven by increased demand for single-family homes which has resulted in order levels that have significantly outpaced production in both the U.S. and Canada. Production levels vary widely by plant, but have, on

25


 

average, surpassed last year’s average production rates throughout the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Increasing production rates to keep pace with orders is limited by individual plant capacity, time to train new employees, employee attendance and accessibility of materials. Production may also be limited by additional instances of COVID-19 related impacts, including intermittent facility shutdowns.

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and existing cash balances. Cash balances and cash flow from operations for the next year are expected to be adequate to cover working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and debt payment obligations. The Company does not have any scheduled long-term debt maturities in the next twelve months. The Company’s revolving credit facility includes a leverage ratio covenant that requires the Company’s first lien debt levels to remain less than 2.75 times of the consolidated trailing twelve-month EBITDA. The Company anticipates compliance with its debt covenants and projects its level of cash availability to be in excess of cash needed to operate the business for the next year. In the event operating cash flow and existing cash balances were deemed inadequate to support the Company’s liquidity needs, and one or more capital resources were to become unavailable, the Company would revise operating strategies accordingly.

Cash provided by operating activities was $103.8 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared to $73.1 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019. The increase of $30.7 million in cash from operating activities is primarily due to increased deposits from customers, deferral of certain payroll tax obligations resulting from the CARES Act regulations, and the benefit of the CEWS subsidy received, partially offset by slightly lower net income compared to the same period of the prior year.

Cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared to $11.0 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019. The decrease in cash used for investing activities is primarily related to a decrease in capital expenditures in the current period which is primarily due to deferral of non-essential spending as well as non-recurring spending incurred in the prior year related to: (i) expansion of production capacity at the Leesville, Louisiana manufacturing facility; and (ii) investment in equipment to facilitate improvement in safety and operating efficiencies. In addition, the Company received $1.2 million of proceeds from the maturity of a Company owned life insurance policy and $1.8 million of proceeds from the sale of fixed assets during fiscal 2021. The Company received proceeds of $1.1 million from the disposition of a held for sale property in fiscal 2020.

Cash used in financing activities was $47.9 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 compared to $18.0 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019. Cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was related to a $38.0 million repayment on the revolving credit facility, net repayments of the floor plan payable balance of $8.3 million and payments for remittance of employee taxes associated with share-based compensation programs of $1.7 million. Cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was primarily related to $15.0 million of repayments on the revolving credit facility, a $2.1 million payment for remittance of employee taxes associated with share-based compensation programs and a $0.9 million net repayment of the floor plan payable balance.
