Skyline Champion Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. 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 35 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 were 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 $0.2 million and $7.0 million of subsidies under these programs during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, respectively. 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. In addition, the CARES Act allows for deferring payment of certain payroll taxes. Through December 2020 the Company deferred $11.8 million of payroll taxes. The Company paid $5.9 million of the deferred payroll taxes in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, with the remaining amount expected to be paid in December 2022.

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 26, 2021 (the “Fiscal 2021 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.

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. Accounts receivable are reflected net of reserves of $1.0 million and $0.4 million at January 1, 2022 and April 3, 2021, respectively. At both January 1, 2022 and April 3, 2021, other notes receivable are reflected net of reserves of $0.4 million.

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 2022,” will end on April 2, 2022 and will include 52 weeks. References to “fiscal 2021” refer to the Company’s fiscal year ended April 3, 2021. The three and nine months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020 each included 13 and 39 weeks, respectively.

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

2. Business Acquisition

ScotBilt Acquisition

On February 28, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of ScotBilt Homes, LLC and related companies (“ScotBilt”), a builder of manufactured homes with annual revenues of approximately $79.0 million, for a purchase price of $53.0 million. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the preliminary purchase price was adjusted for cash held by ScotBilt at the closing date and working capital adjustments resulting in an initial total purchase consideration of $54.5 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company reduced the preliminary purchase price allocation by $0.2 million as a result of the final working capital settlement. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting provided by FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). As such, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired, inclusive of intangible assets, with the excess fair value recorded to goodwill. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is preliminary and could change.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)
Cash	$	1,521
Trade accounts receivable		2,256
Inventory		6,752
Property, plant, and equipment		10,466
Other assets		1,164
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(7,432	)
Intangibles		21,100
Goodwill		18,449
Total purchase price allocation	$	54,276

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 deductible for income tax purposes, was allocated to the U.S. Factory-built Housing reporting unit.

Cash, trade accounts receivable, inventory, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities were generally stated at historical carrying values given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Intangible assets include $13.0 million in customer relationships and $8.1 million associated with the ScotBilt trade name and were based on an independent appraisal. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and the fair value of the trade name was determined using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company estimates that each intangible asset has a weighted average useful life of ten years from the acquisition date. 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, cost, and sales comparison approaches, as appropriate. Level 3 fair value estimates of $10.5 million related to property, plant, and equipment and $21.1 million related to intangible assets were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of April 3, 2021.

The acquisition of ScotBilt was a taxable business combination. Therefore, the Company’s tax basis in the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed approximate the respective fair values at the acquisition date.

3. Inventories, net

The components of inventory, net of reserves for obsolete inventory, were as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)	January 1, 2022		April 3, 2021
Raw materials	$	108,370	$	91,916
Work in process		22,644		21,642
Finished goods and other		54,038		52,555
Total inventories, net	$	185,052	$	166,113

At January 1, 2022 and April 3, 2021, reserves for obsolete inventory were $4.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

4. Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated primarily on a straight-line basis, 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 for the three months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020 was $3.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020 was $9.9 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

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


(Dollars in thousands)	January 1, 2022			April 3, 2021
Land and improvements	$	39,411		$	36,470
Buildings and improvements		97,206			97,005
Machinery and equipment		64,286			57,790
Construction in progress		13,913			1,889
Property, plant, and equipment, at cost		214,816			193,154
Less: accumulated depreciation		(87,620	)		(78,014	)
Property, plant, and equipment, net	$	127,196		$	115,140

5. Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Cloud Computing Arrangements

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 January 1, 2022 and April 3, 2021, the Company had goodwill of $192.0 million and $191.8 million, respectively.

Intangible Assets

The components of amortizable intangible assets were as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)	January 1, 2022									April 3, 2021
	Customer Relationships			Trade Names			Total			Customer Relationships			Trade Names			Total
Gross carrying amount	$	61,913		$	21,389		$	83,302		$	61,963		$	21,409		$	83,372
Accumulated amortization		(22,336	)		(7,795	)		(30,131	)		(18,158	)		(6,379	)	$	(24,537	)
Amortizable intangibles, net	$	39,577		$	13,594		$	53,171		$	43,805		$	15,030		$	58,835

During the three months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020, amortization of intangible assets was $1.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively. During the nine months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020, amortization of intangible assets was $5.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

The Company capitalizes costs associated with the development of cloud computing arrangements in a manner consistent with internally developed software. At January 1, 2022 and April 3, 2021, the Company had capitalized cloud computing costs of $15.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Cloud computing costs are included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no amortization of capitalized cloud computing costs during the three and nine months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020 as the related systems have not yet been placed in service.

Total long-term debt	$	12,430	$	39,330

On July 7, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million, including a $45.0 million letter of credit sub-facility (“Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s previously existing $100.0 million revolving credit facility. Outstanding borrowings of $26.9 million on the Company’s previous revolving credit facility were repaid in July 2021. The Amended Credit Agreement allows the Company to draw down, repay and re-draw loans on the available funds during the term, subject to certain terms and conditions, matures in July 2026 and has no scheduled amortization. The Company capitalized $1.1 million of deferred financing fees associated with the Amended Credit Agreement, which is included in other noncurrent assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company wrote off $0.3 million of deferred financing fees associated with the previously existing credit facility, which is included in interest expense, net for the nine months ended January 1, 2022.

The interest rate on borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement adjusts based on the consolidated total net leverage of the Company from a high of LIBOR plus 1.875% and ABR plus 0.875%, at the election of the Company, when the consolidated total net leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 2.25:1.00, to a low of LIBOR plus 1.125% and ABR plus 0.125% when the consolidated total net leverage is below 0.50:1.00. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay an unused line fee ranging between 0.15% and 0.3% (depending on the consolidated total net leverage ratio) in respect of unused commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. At January 1, 2022 the interest rate under the Amended Credit Agreement was 1.23%. At January 1, 2022, letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Agreement totaled $30.4 million and total available borrowings were $169.6 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 January 1, 2022, including related costs and fees, was 1.78%. The industrial revenue bonds require lump-sum payments of principal upon maturity in 2029.

The Amended 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 Amended Credit Agreement as of January 1, 2022.

Floor Plan Payable

The Company’s retail operations utilize floor plan financing to fund the purchase of manufactured homes for display or resale. At January 1, 2022 and April 3, 2021, the Company had outstanding borrowings on floor plan financing agreements of $34.3 million and $25.7 million, respectively. Total credit line capacity provided under the agreements was $57.0 million as of January 1, 2022. Borrowings are secured by the financed homes and are required to be repaid when the Company sells a financed home to a customer.

10. Income Taxes

For the three months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020, the Company recorded $23.3 million and $5.3 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 25.6% and 19.7%, respectively. For the nine months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020, the Company recorded $53.7 million and $15.5 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 25.0% and 23.3%, 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 the three and nine months ended January 1, 2022 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of state and local income taxes, non-deductible expenses, tax credits, results in foreign jurisdictions, and tax benefits related to equity compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of state and local income taxes, non-deductible expenses, tax credits (including the $1.7 million R&D credit), and results in foreign jurisdictions.

At January 1, 2022, 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.

11. 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 occurred 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, 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, or any subsequent periods, as the time-vested restricted share awards were fully vested and no longer considered participating securities.

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

12. 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 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.

Selected financial information by reportable segment was as follows:

13. 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 its 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 January 1, 2022 was estimated to be $281.7 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 $1.8 million and $1.4 million was recorded as of January 1, 2022 and April 3, 2021, respectively. Losses incurred on homes repurchased were not significant during the three or nine months ended January 1, 2022 or December 26, 2020.

At January 1, 2022, the Company was contingently obligated for $30.4 million under letters of credit, primarily consisting of $12.6 million to support long-term debt, $17.5 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 Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was also contingently obligated for $35.6 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, ScotBilt Homes, Shore Park, Silvercrest, and Titan Homes in the U.S., and Moduline and SRI Homes in western Canada. The Company operates 35 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 mainly 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, recreational vehicles, and other products throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Industry and Company Outlook

Since July 2020, U.S. and Canadian housing demand has been robust. The limited availability of existing homes for sale and the broader need for newly built affordable, single-family housing has continued to drive demand for new homes in these markets. In recent years, manufactured home construction experienced revenue growth due to a number of favorable demographic trends and demand drivers in the U.S., including underlying growth trends in key homebuyer groups, such as the population over 55 years of age, the population of first-time home buyers, and the population of households earning less than $60,000 per year. We have also seen a number of market trends pointing to increased sales of accessory dwelling units and urban-to-rural migration as customers accommodate working-from-home patterns, as well as people seeking rent-to-own single-family options.

The robust demand environment has resulted in backlog of $1.5 billion as of January 1, 2022 compared to $488.5 million as of December 26, 2020. Generally higher backlog at our manufacturing facilities creates an opportunity to increase production efficiencies. Although the higher demand brings opportunities, it also has resulted in significant increases in raw material and labor costs. In addition, we are experiencing intermittent supply disruption and higher freight costs. Finding and retaining qualified labor continues to be a challenge for our plants which requires us to review our compensation programs and adjust accordingly. We manage our business to anticipate or quickly react to these supply challenges and cost increases and generally are able to pass along increased costs to our customers. Historically, order cancellation rates have been very low, but the longer lead-time caused by larger backlogs and changing prices could result in higher cancellations in future periods.

For the nine months ended January 1, 2022, approximately 78% of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing sales were generated from the manufacture of homes that comply with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") code construction standard in the U.S. Industry shipments of HUD-code homes are reported on a one-month lag. According to data reported by the Manufactured Housing Institute ("MHI"), HUD-code industry home shipments were 71,281 and 61,492 units during the eight months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Based on industry data, the Company’s U.S. wholesale market share of HUD code homes sold was 19.4% and 16.2%, for the eight months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Annual shipments have generally increased each year since calendar year 2009 when only 50,000 HUD-coded manufactured homes were shipped, the lowest level since the industry began recording statistics in 1959. While shipments of HUD-coded manufactured homes have improved modestly in recent years, current manufactured housing shipments are still at lower levels than the long-term historical average of over 200,000 units a year.

Acquisitions and Expansions

Over the last several years, 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 footprints. The Company has increased capacity through strategic acquisitions and expansions of its manufacturing operations. The Company is focused on growing in strong housing markets across the U.S.

On June 21, 2021, the Company acquired two idle facilities in Navasota, Texas in order to strengthen its production capabilities in the Texas market. The Company began certification of the manufacturing operations at one of these facilities in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, and expects to begin delivering products from that facility in the fourth fiscal quarter. On February 28, 2021, the Company acquired ScotBilt, which operates two manufacturing facilities in Georgia that provide affordable housing throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. The operations of ScotBilt are included in the financial results of the Company since the date of the acquisition. On January 14, 2021, the Company

acquired two idled facilities in Pembroke, North Carolina, which provides an opportunity to further expand its manufacturing footprint in the South and Southeast markets. The Company is currently assessing prospects for initiating production in one or both of these facilities.

The Company's 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 Company's consolidated results for periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates.

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. During 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 second half of fiscal 2021, the Company was able to increase daily production rates over the levels achieved in the prior fiscal year period as direct labor staffing levels increased and production efficiencies improved. Although the Company has generally been able to navigate the production challenges caused by the pandemic in fiscal 2022, availability of labor and certain materials 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.

As part of the initial 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 the extended benefits during the nine months ended December 26, 2020. Various government programs were enacted to provide financial relief for affected businesses, including the Employee Retention Credit under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") in the U.S. and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan in Canada. CEWS provided 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 and $0.6 million for payroll subsidies under the CARES Act during the nine months ended December 26, 2020. No payroll subsidy was recognized under CEWS or Cares Act during the three months ended December 26, 2020. In addition, the CARES Act allowed for deferring payment of certain payroll taxes. Through December 2020 the Company deferred $11.8 million of payroll taxes . The Company repaid $5.9 million in the current quarter, with the remaining amount expected to be paid in December 2022.

Net sales for the Company’s U.S. manufacturing and retail operations increased by $148.0 million, or 44.0%, for the three months ended January 1, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 26, 2020. The change was primarily due to an increase in the number of homes sold during the period of 9.2%, an increase in the average home selling price of 31.7%, and the impact of the acquisition of ScotBilt. Demand for our products has increased significantly in recent periods and we have been able to increase production in response to that demand. The average selling price increased during the period due to pricing actions enacted in response to rising material, freight, and labor costs as well as a shift in product mix to larger homes with more features and amenities. Generally, we are able to pass the increase in input costs along to our customers.

Canadian Factory-built Housing:

The Canadian Factory-built Housing segment net sales increased by $10.6 million, or 40.1% for the three months ended January 1, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a 5.7% increase in the number of homes sold and a 32.6% increase in average home selling price. The increase in volume was due to an increase in homes sold driven by strong demand. The increase in average selling price was due to pricing actions enacted in response to rising material and labor costs. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Canadian segment were also favorably impacted by approximately $1.8 million due to fluctuations in the translation of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar during the three months ended January 1, 2022 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal 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 January 1, 2022, net sales decreased $1.4 million, or 9.5%, primarily attributable to lower revenue from the shipment of recreational vehicles.

Interest expense, net was $0.5 million for the three months ended January 1, 2022, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The net decrease in expense was primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings on long-term debt, offset in part by higher average borrowings on floor plan payables. The Company repaid the outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The following table summarizes income tax expense for the three months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020:

The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended January 1, 2022 compared with the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to the recognition of a tax benefit of $1.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 related to a U.S. R&D tax credit study.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended January 1, 2022 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of state and local income taxes, non-deductible expenses, tax credits, results in foreign jurisdictions, and tax benefits related to equity compensation.

U.S. Factory-built Housing:

Net sales for the Company’s U.S. manufacturing and retail operations increased by $544.8 million, or 62.7%, for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 compared to the nine months ended December 26, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of homes sold during the period of 4,046 and an increase in the average selling price of 26.4%. The increase in the number of homes sold was a result of increased production levels at many of the Company’s manufacturing locations in response to strong demand for our products, as well as the addition of production volume through the acquisition of ScotBilt. The average selling price increased over the prior year due to pricing actions enacted in response to rising material and labor costs. Generally, we are able to pass increases in input costs along to our customers. The improvement this year is also a result of a negative impact to sales in the prior fiscal year caused by COVID-19 related plant shutdowns and higher than normal absenteeism.

Canadian Factory-built Housing:

The Canadian Factory-built Housing segment net sales increased by $47.1 million, or 71.3%, for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to an increase in homes sold of 267 and a 29.0% increase in average home selling price. The increase in volume was due to an increase in production rates in response to strong housing demand. The increase in average selling price was due to pricing actions enacted in response to rising material and labor costs. In addition, on a constant currency basis, net sales for the Canadian segment were favorably impacted by approximately $8.4 million due to fluctuations in the translation of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net sales during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 were negatively impacted by COVID-19 related plant shutdowns and higher than normal absenteeism.

Corporate/Other:

Net sales for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation business and the elimination of intersegment sales. For the nine months ended January 1, 2022, net sales increased $4.0 million, or 10.3%, primarily attributable to an increase in shipments of manufactured homes and recreational vehicles.

Gross profit for the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment increased by $193.2 million, or 116.5%, during the nine months ended January 1, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit was 25.4% as a percent of segment net sales for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 compared to 19.1% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit is due to operational efficiencies and increased leverage of manufacturing fixed costs resulting from higher production volumes and higher average selling prices during fiscal 2022. Higher input costs for materials and labor have generally been offset to date by increasing the prices of our products. The improvement is also a result of less COVID-19 related sick-pay and health benefits which were provided in the prior fiscal year.

Other income decreased $7.0 million, or 99.5%, during the nine months ended January 1, 2022, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease is due to a reduction in the wage subsidies provided by government sponsored financial assistance programs that were enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during fiscal 2021. The programs included a Canadian wage subsidy benefit of $6.2 million and U.S. federal and state wage subsidy benefits of $0.8 million recognized in the nine months ended December 26, 2020 which did not recur in the current year.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of state and local income taxes, non-deductible expenses, tax credits, results in foreign jurisdictions, and tax benefits related to equity compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 was $232.5 million, an increase of $148.9 million, from the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily a result of higher operating income due to increases in net sales volume and gross margins, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses and the reduction in wage subsidies received in the prior year.

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 for awards granted prior to December 31, 2018; (f) non-cash restructuring charges and impairment of assets; and (g) 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 prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as defined by U.S. GAAP, which is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

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;

Also about Adjusted EBITDA:

•

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 January 1, 2022 totaled $1.5 billion compared to $488.5 million at December 26, 2020. The increase in backlog was driven by increased demand for single-family homes, which resulted in order levels that significantly outpaced production in both the U.S. and Canada. Our ability to increase production rates to keep pace with orders is limited by individual plant capacity, the availability of and time needed to train new employees, employee attendance and availability of materials, including certain allocations of raw materials by our suppliers. We may experience greater order cancellations in the future as a result of higher prices and the longer time required to manufacture and deliver our products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table presents summary cash flow information for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020:


	Nine months ended
(Dollars in thousands)	January 1, 2022			December 26, 2020
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	164,406		$	103,816
Investing activities		(22,921	)		(1,213	)
Financing activities		(21,355	)		(47,938	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents		(578	)		2,940
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents		119,552			57,605
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		262,581			209,455
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	382,133		$	267,060

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and existing cash balances. Cash balances and cash flows from operations for the next year are expected to be adequate to cover working capital requirements and capital expenditures. The Company does not have any scheduled long-term debt maturities in the next twelve months. On July 7, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $45.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. At January 1, 2022, $169.6 million was available for borrowing under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company’s revolving credit facility includes (i) a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.00, subject to an upward adjustment upon the consummation of a material acquisition, and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. 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 $164.4 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 compared to $103.8 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. Cash provided by operating activities increased due to higher net income in the current year, partially offset by an increase in inventory from higher material costs and higher stocking levels to mitigate supply chain challenges, an increase in prepaid and other assets primarily from the capitalization of $15.4 million of cloud computing costs in fiscal 2022, and a $5.9 million payment of payroll taxes which were deferred in the prior fiscal year under the CARES Act regulations.

Cash used in investing activities was $22.9 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. The increase was primarily related to an increase in capital expenditures in the current period. The Company acquired two idle manufacturing facilities in Texas and made investments in plant improvements to facilitate increased production or operational efficiencies. The Company deferred all non-essential spending in the first half of fiscal 2021 due to COVID-19 concerns.

Cash used in financing activities was $21.4 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2022 compared to $47.9 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. The decrease in cash used for financing was primarily related to lower repayments during fiscal 2022 of the Company's previously existing revolving credit facility. The Company also saw an increase in floor plan financing during fiscal 2022, which had decreased in fiscal 2021 in response to lowering financed retail inventories in response to the pandemic.
