Champion Homes Appoints Dave McKinstray as EVP, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer

TROY, Mich. – December 2, 2025 – Champion Homes, Inc. (NYSE: SKY) (“Champion Homes”) today announced that Dave McKinstray has been appointed Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective January 12, 2026. Mr. McKinstray will succeed Laurie Hough, who will be retiring after more than 20 years with the Company. Ms. Hough will remain with the Company through May 31, 2026, to help ensure a smooth transition of the CFO responsibilities.

Mr. McKinstray was selected after a thorough search process. He is a seasoned finance and accounting executive with more than 18 years of experience leading finance organizations and driving major operational initiatives across consumer products and manufacturing businesses. He most recently served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at WK Kellogg, where he played key financial and operational roles, including building the financial infrastructure of the newly independent public entity, leading the design and implementation of the company’s multi-year margin enhancement strategy, overseeing core finance functions and directing the transformation of its operations. He also guided the company through its subsequent acquisition by Ferrero. Prior to the spin-off, Mr. McKinstray held senior finance roles at Kellogg Company, including CFO roles at the North America Cereal, U.S. Snacks and U.S. Retail Sales businesses. In those positions, he oversaw capital allocation priorities and corporate development, leading strategic initiatives that included improvements across planning and operations.

“Dave is a dynamic and strategic CFO with a record of delivering in complex environments and partnering closely with business leaders to drive growth and execution,” said Tim Larson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Champion Homes. “He offers a unique combination of strategic insight, operational rigor and consumer focus, and I am confident he is well-suited to help drive Champion Homes’ growth and performance across all our stakeholders.”

Mr. McKinstray said, "Champion Homes has a long and impressive history of delivering much-needed housing solutions, and I am very pleased to join Tim and the rest of the team at such an exciting time in the Company’s evolution and growth trajectory.”

“On behalf of the Board and the entire Champion Homes team, I want to thank Laurie for her more than 20 years of service to the Company, including the past nine as CFO,” continued Mr. Larson. “She has helped build Champion Homes into the industry leader it is today by guiding our finance functions, as well as supporting key portfolio moves including the reverse merger with Skyline and Champion and strategic manufacturing and retail acquisitions. Her hard work and tireless dedication to the Company have helped position us for continued success, and we wish her all the best in her retirement.”

Ms. Hough said, "My time at Champion Homes has been an extraordinary experience. I am proud of what the Company has accomplished and am grateful to have worked alongside so many talented people who are deeply committed to providing affordable housing solutions. I look forward to collaborating with Dave and the leadership team to ensure a thoughtful and seamless transition."
