SKYLINE CHAMPION ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2024 RESULTS

Troy, Michigan, August 1, 2023 /Business Wire/ -- Skyline Champion Corporation (NYSE: SKY) (“Skyline Champion”) today announced financial results for its first quarter ended July 1, 2023 (“fiscal 2024”).

First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights (compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2023)

“Skyline Champion’s results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 met expectations, reflecting continued execution on our operational initiatives as we navigate the current environment and shifts in demand” said Mark Yost, Skyline Champion’s President, and Chief Executive Officer. “On a sequential basis we are seeing orders increase and backlogs return to historically normal levels, while managing production to align with current demand trends. Skyline Champion continues to drive our strategic initiatives to transform homebuilding, generating value for shareholders now and in years to come.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

Net sales for the first quarter fiscal 2024 decreased 36.0% to $464.8 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the first quarter fiscal 2024 decreased 29.3% to 4,817. Volume levels during the quarter were adversely impacted by the timing of community orders and the absence of FEMA-related sales which totaled $82.5 million in the first quarter of last year. The ASP per U.S. home sold decreased 8.2% to $89,000 due to the impact of product mix and the decrease in material surcharges. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter decreased to 221 homes compared to 352 homes in the prior-year period due to softening demand in certain markets.

Gross profit decreased by 43.5% to $129.7 million in the first quarter fiscal 2024 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 27.9% of net sales, a 370-basis point contraction compared to 31.6% in the first quarter fiscal 2023. Gross margin contraction is being driven by lower volumes and changes in product mix including the absence of FEMA unit sales versus last year’s first quarter. Improvements in operational capabilities helped maintain the margin profile on a sequential basis despite lower production rates and consumer shifts to smaller less optioned homes.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the first quarter fiscal 2024 decreased to $70.4 million from $72.3 million in the same period last year. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 15.2%, compared to 10.0% in the prior year period. SG&A during the quarter reflects lower sales volumes and variable compensation, partially offset by expenses related to acquisitions closed in fiscal 2023 and investments in new capacity.

Net income decreased by 56.2% to $51.3 million for the first quarter fiscal 2024 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in net income was driven by lower sales in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter fiscal 2024 decreased by 58.9% to $66.8 million compared to the first quarter fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 14.4%, compared to 22.4% in the prior-year period.

As of July 1, 2023, Skyline Champion had $797.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $50.3 million in the current quarter.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) throughout this press release, Skyline Champion has provided non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. Skyline Champion uses these non-GAAP financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors. Skyline Champion believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that Skyline Champion believes are not representative of its core business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of Skyline Champion’s financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Skyline Champion defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss plus expenses or minus income, (a) the provision for income taxes, (b) interest income or expense, net, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) gain or loss from discontinued operations, (e) non-cash restructuring charges and impairment of assets, (f) other non-operating income and costs, including but not limited to those costs 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. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as defined by U.S. GAAP. Skyline Champion believes that Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors to evaluate its performance and that of its competitors. However, Skyline Champion’s use of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in its industry. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled from the respective measure under U.S. GAAP in the tables below. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales reported in the statement of operations.
