Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

Net sales for the second quarter fiscal 2024 decreased 42.5% to $464.2 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the second quarter fiscal 2024 decreased 33.4% to 4,842. The lower volume output compared to the prior year period primarily reflects the decrease in order volumes from the larger community REITs as well as the absence of FEMA-related sales which totaled $117.8 million last year. The ASP per U.S. home sold decreased 14.8% to $88,400. The decline in ASPs is a result of higher-priced FEMA unit sales in the prior-year period, changes to core product mix, and a decrease in material surcharges. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter decreased to 232 homes compared to 303 homes in the prior-year period due to the higher interest rate environment and softening demand.

Gross profit decreased by 57.5% to $116.5 million in the second quarter fiscal 2024 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 25.1% of net sales, a contraction of 890 basis points compared to 34.0% in the second quarter fiscal 2023. The change in gross profit margin was driven by lower ASPs due to the higher-priced FEMA unit sales in the prior-year period and a shift in product mix to homes with fewer options. Gross margins were also impacted by softer demand and recently opened plants.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the second quarter fiscal 2024 decreased to $64.5 million from $83.9 million in the same period last year. SG&A during the quarter decreased due to less variable compensation expense from lower sales volumes. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 13.9%, compared to 10.4% in the prior year period.

Net income decreased by 68.3% to $45.7 million for the second quarter fiscal 2024 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in net income was driven by lower sales and gross profit in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter fiscal 2024 decreased by 70.2% to $58.8 million compared to the second quarter fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 12.7%, compared to 24.4% in the prior-year period.

As of September 30, 2023, Skyline Champion had $701.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $96.6 million in the current quarter, due to the strategic investment in ECN Capital partially offset by cash flows from operations.
