OVERVIEW OF MARKETS AND RELATED INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE
Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2025 Financial Overview
Recreational Vehicle ("RV") Industry
The Company's RV products are sold primarily to major manufacturers of RVs, smaller original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), and to a lesser extent, manufacturers in adjacent industries. The principal types of recreational vehicles include (1) towables: conventional travel trailers, fifth wheels, folding camping trailers, and truck campers; and (2) motorized: class A (large motor homes), class B (van campers), and class C (small-to-mid size motor homes).
The RV industry is our primary market and comprised 44% and 46% of the Company's net sales in the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively, and 43% and 44% in the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2024. Net sales to the RV industry in the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2025 increased 7% and 9%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
According to the RV Industry Association ("RVIA"), RV wholesale unit shipments in the third quarter of 2025 totaled approximately 76,500 units, a decrease of 2% from approximately 77,800 units in the third quarter of 2024. While we estimate RV industry retail unit sales in the third quarter of 2025 remained flat compared to the third quarter of 2024, we estimate that retail unit sales exceeded wholesale unit shipments in the third quarter of 2025 as RV OEMs maintained lower production volumes.
RV wholesale unit shipments for the first nine months of 2025 totaled approximately 267,200 units, an increase of 4% from approximately 256,400 units in the first nine months of 2024. While we estimate RV industry retail unit sales in the first nine months of 2025 decreased by approximately 1% compared to the first nine months of 2024, we estimate that retail unit sales exceeded wholesale unit shipments which resulted in improved alignment of dealer inventory levels with current retail demand.
Marine Industry
The Company's sales to the marine industry are primarily focused on the powerboat sector of the market which is comprised of four main categories: fiberglass, aluminum fishing, pontoon and ski & wake.
Net sales to the marine industry comprised 15% of the Company's net sales in both the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2025 and 15% and 16% in the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2024, respectively. Net sales to the marine industry in the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2025 increased 11% and 2%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
Our marine revenue is generally correlated to marine industry wholesale powerboat unit shipments. According to Company estimates based on data published by the National Marine Manufacturers Association ("NMMA"), wholesale powerboat unit shipments remained flat in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and decreased 4% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the prior year period.
We estimate that marine industry retail powerboat unit sales decreased 6% and 8% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the current macroeconomic environment faced by the end consumer, such as economic uncertainty and elevated interest rates.
Powersports Industry
Through acquisitions completed in recent years, the Company entered the powersports end market. Powersports is a category of motorsports which includes vehicles such as motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles ("ATVs"), side-by-sides, snowmobiles, scooters, golf carts and other personal transportation vehicles, and other related categories. Our powersports business is primarily focused on the utility and premium segments of the side-by-side market, which have been outperforming the more discretionary recreational segment. We also participate in the motorcycle and golf cart segments of the market. OEMs and dealers are actively managing field inventory levels to align dealer inventories with retail demand.
Net sales to the powersports industry comprised 10% and 9% of the Company's net sales in the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively, and 10% and 9% in the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2024, respectively. Net sales to the powersports industry increased 12% in the third quarter of 2025 and remained flat for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to the prior year periods.
Manufactured Housing ("MH") Industry
The Company's products for this market are sold primarily to major manufacturers of manufactured homes, other OEMs, and to a lesser extent, manufacturers in adjacent industries. Factors that may favorably impact demand in this industry include jobs growth, consumer confidence, favorable changes in financing regulations, a narrowing in the difference between interest rates on MH loans and mortgages on traditional residential "site-built" housing, and any improvement in conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.
Net sales to the MH industry comprised 18% and 17% of the Company's net sales in the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively, and 19% and 18% in the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2024, respectively. Net sales to the MH industry in the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2025 decreased 2% and increased 4%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. According to Company estimates based on industry data from the Manufactured Housing Institute, MH industry wholesale unit shipments decreased 2% in the third quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the timing of OEMs production schedules and dealer orders following elevated shipment activity earlier in the year, as well as disciplined dealer inventory management.
MH industry wholesale unit shipments increased 3% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by OEMs increasing production in the first half of 2025.
Industrial Market
The industrial market is comprised primarily of kitchen cabinet, countertop, hospitality, retail and commercial fixtures, and office and household furniture markets and regional distributors.
Net sales to the industrial market comprised 13% of the Company's net sales in both the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2025 and in both the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2024. Net sales to the industrial market in the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2025 increased 4% and 3%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Overall, our revenues in these markets are focused on residential and multifamily housing, hospitality, high-rise housing and office, commercial construction and institutional furniture markets. We estimate that, in general, approximately 70% to 80% of our industrial business is directly tied to the residential housing market, with the remaining 20% to 30% tied to the non-residential and commercial markets.
According to the Company estimates based on U.S. Census Bureau data, combined new housing starts decreased 2% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting a decrease in single-family housing starts of 5%, offset by an increase in multifamily housing starts of 7%.
For the first nine months of 2025, combined new housing starts decreased 1% compared to the prior year period, reflecting a decrease in single-family housing starts of 5%, offset by an increase in multifamily housing starts of 14%. Our industrial products are generally among the last components installed in new unit construction and as such our related sales typically trail new housing starts by four to six months.

Net Sales.Net sales in the third quarter of 2025 increased $56.2 million, or 6%, to $975.6 million compared to $919.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. Net sales in the third quarter of 2025 increased due to increased sales to the RV, marine, powersports and industrial markets, partially offset by decreased sales to the MH market. Sales to the RV market increased $29.0 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition of ICON Direct LLC, doing business as RecPro ("RecPro") in the third quarter of 2024. Sales to the marine market increased $14.5 million, or 11%, primarily attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2025. Sales to the powersports market increased $10.4 million, or 12%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily related to higher OEM production volumes in alignment with retail demand. Sales to the industrial market increased $5.0 million, or 4%, compared to the prior year quarter, which is attributable to market share gains and product mix shifts by certain customers. Sales to the MH market decreased $2.7 million, or 2%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a decrease in estimated MH industry wholesale unit shipments of approximately 2%.
Net sales in the first nine months of 2025 increased $157.0 million, or 5%, to $3.03 billion compared to $2.87 billion in the first nine months of 2024. Net sales in the first nine months of 2025 increased due to increased sales to each of our markets. Sales to the RV market increased $116.5 million, or 9%, compared to the first nine months of 2024, due to the Company's acquisition of RecPro in the third quarter of 2024, industry volume growth and market share gain. Sales to the MH market increased $22.2 million, or 4%, compared to the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to an increase in estimated MH industry wholesale unit shipments of approximately 3%. Sales to the industrial market increased $10.1 million, or 3%, compared to the first nine months of 2024, primarily related to product mix shifts by certain customers. Sales to the marine market increased $7.0 million, or 2%, compared to the first nine months of 2024, primarily attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2025. Sales to the powersports market increased $1.2 million and flat compared to the first nine months of 2024, primarily related to higher OEM production volumes in alignment with retail demand.
Revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2025 was $11.0 million and $24.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively. Revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2024 was $78.6 million and $216.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively.
Cost of Goods Sold.Cost of goods sold increased $47.7 million, or 7%, to $754.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $706.9 million in the third quarter of 2024. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased 50 basis points in the third quarter of 2025 to 77.4% compared to 76.9% in the third quarter of 2024.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased in the third quarter of 2025 primarily as a result of an increase in material costs of 110 basis points, partially offset by decreases in labor and manufacturing overhead costs of 40 and 20 basis points, respectively.
Cost of goods sold increased $105.5 million, or 5%, to $2.33 billion in the first nine months of 2025 from $2.22 billion in the first nine months of 2024. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased 50 basis points in the first nine months of 2025 to 76.9% compared to 77.4% in the first nine months of 2024.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased in the first nine months of 2025 primarily as a result of continued cost reduction and automation initiatives we deployed throughout 2024 and into 2025 that had a positive impact on labor and overhead costs. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2025 primarily reflected a 50 basis point decrease in labor costs. In general, the Company's cost of goods sold percentage can be impacted from quarter-to-quarter by demand changes in certain market sectors that can result in fluctuating costs of certain raw materials and commodity-based components that are utilized in production.
Gross Profit.Gross profit increased $8.5 million, or 4%, to $221.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $212.5 million in the prior year period.

Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $21.1 million, or 18%, to $135.1 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $114.1 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses increased 50 basis points to 4.5% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 4.0% in the first nine months of 2024.
The increase in warehouse and delivery expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 is primarily attributable to the increase in sales, and the increase as a percentage of net sales is primarily related to higher freight costs.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $10.2 million, or 14%, to $86.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $75.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter is primarily related to increased incentive compensation and wages.
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased 60 basis points to 8.8% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 8.2% in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2025 is primarily attributable to increased incentive compensation expense as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by decreased administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales.
SG&A expenses increased $28.5 million, or 12%, to $273.2 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $244.6 million in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 2024 is primarily attributable to the cost profile of certain 2024 acquisitions, increased wages, incentive compensation expenses, insurance expenses, technology expenses, loss on sale of assets, and selling expenses, partially offset by decreased professional fees and administrative expenses.
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased 50 basis points to 9.0% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 8.5% in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2025 is primarily attributable to increased selling expenses, insurance expenses, wages, loss on sale of assets, technology expenses, and incentive compensation.
Amortization of Intangible Assets.Amortization of intangible assets decreased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $24.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $24.4 million in the prior year quarter.

Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.2% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 7.6% in the first nine months of 2024. The increase in operating income is primarily attributable to increased net sales, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and the items discussed above. The increase in operating income and the decrease in operating income as a percentage of net sales are primarily attributable to the items discussed above.
Interest Expense, Net.Interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 8%, to $18.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $20.1 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense decreased $4.1 million, or 7%, to $56.4 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $60.5 million in the first nine months of 2024. The decrease primarily reflects a lower average interest rate on our outstanding debt compared to the prior year periods.
Other Expenses.Other expenses were $24.4 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to zero in the prior year period, reflecting expenses related to a legal settlement.
Income Taxes.Income tax expense decreased $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 to $12.5 million compared to $13.5 million in the prior year quarter. Income tax expense decreased $2.4 million in the first nine months of 2025 to $31.8 million compared to $34.1 million in the prior year period.

Sales to the RV market increased 9% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2024. Sales to the powersports market increased $1.0 million, or 33%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to market share gains. Sales to the MH market increased $0.8 million, or 1%, compared to the prior year quarter. Sales to the industrial market increased $0.5 million, or 5%, compared to the prior year quarter. Sales to the marine market decreased $0.6 million, or 6%, compared to the prior year quarter.
Distribution segment sales in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 increased due to increased sales to the RV, MH, powersports and industrial markets, partially offset by decreased sales to the marine market. Sales to the RV market increased 6% compared to the first nine months of 2024, due to industry wholesale unit shipment growth of 4%, market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2024. Sales to the MH market increased 5% compared to the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to an increase in estimated MH industry wholesale unit
shipments of approximately 3%. Sales to the powersports market increased $3.1 million, or 34%, compared to the first nine months of 2024, primarily attributable to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2024. Sales to the industrial market increased $2.5 million, or 9%, compared to the first nine months of 2024. Sales to the marine market decreased $0.4 million, or 1%, compared to the first nine months of 2024.
Distribution segment sales attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2024 were approximately $4.7 million in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.
Gross Profit. Distribution segment gross profit increased $6.5 million, or 12%, to $59.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $53.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased 80 basis points to 23.1% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 22.3% in the prior year quarter. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024 is attributable to decreased labor costs as a percentage of sales, partially offset by increased material costs as a percentage of sales.
Distribution segment gross profit increased $32.2 million, or 20%, to $193.6 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $161.4 million in the first nine months of 2024. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased 290 basis points to 24.5% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 21.6% in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 2024 is attributable to decreased material and labor costs as a percentage of sales.
Operating Income.Operating income decreased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $23.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $23.4 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of sales, operating income decreased 90 basis points to 8.9% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 9.8% in the same period in 2024. The decrease in operating income and operating income as a percentage of sales is primarily related to the items discussed above, offset by an increase in operating expenses and operating expense as a percentage of sales.
Operating income increased $3.3 million, or 4%, to $80.6 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $77.3 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, operating income decreased 10 basis points to 10.2% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 10.3% in the same period in 2024. The increase in operating income and the decrease in operating income as a percentage of sales primarily reflect the items discussed above, as well as an increase in operating expenses and operating expense as a percentage of sales.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, available cash reserves and borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit and term loan facility (the "2024 Credit Facility"), as discussed in Note 8 "Debt" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our liquidity as of September 28, 2025 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $20.7 million and $758.0 million of availability under the 2024 Credit Facility, net of $7.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.
As of September 28, 2025, the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facility are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on the Company's current cash flow budgets and forecast of short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
Principal uses of cash are to support working capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support the Company's capital allocation strategy, which includes acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends and repurchases of the Company's common stock, among others.
Working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV, marine, powersports, MH and industrial markets we serve, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of customers. In the event that operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of the Company's capital resources were to become unavailable, the Company would seek to revise its operating strategies accordingly. The Company will continue to assess its liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.
In the first nine months of 2025, the Company utilized available borrowing capacity under the Revolver due 2029 and cash on hand to fund three acquisitions, as discussed in Note 5 "Acquisitions" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of and for the reporting period ended September 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as required under the terms of the credit agreement that established the 2024 Credit Facility (the "2024 Credit Agreement"). The required maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and the required minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, as such ratios are defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement, compared to the actual amounts as of September 28, 2025 and for the fiscal period then ended are as follows:
Required Actual
Consolidated secured net leverage ratio (12-month period) 2.75 0.45
Consolidated interest coverage ratio (12-month period) 3.00 6.57
In addition, as of September 28, 2025, the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio (12-month period) was 2.84. While this ratio is not a covenant under the 2024 Credit Agreement, it is used in determining the applicable borrowing margin under the 2024 Credit Agreement.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities: Cash flows from operating activities are one of the Company's primary sources of liquidity, representing the net income the Company earned in the reported periods, adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $25.6 million, or 11%, to $198.6 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $224.2 million in the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in operating cash flows is primarily attributable to a $74.8 million use of cash from operating assets and liabilities, net of business acquisitions compared to a $40.4 million use of cash in the prior year period and a $17.9 million decrease in net income, partially offset by a $21.8 million increase in deferred income taxes and a $2.5 million increase in loss on sale of assets compared to the first nine months of 2024.
Investing Activities:Net cash used in investing activities decreased $348.5 million to $136.9 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $485.4 million in the first nine months of 2024 due to a decrease in cash used in business acquisitions, which were $70.3 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $411.6 million in the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of Sportech in January 2024 and RecPro in September 2024.
Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $74.5 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $302.4 million of net cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in net borrowings under our revolving credit facility to $10.0 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $365.0 million in the first nine months of 2024.

See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

OTHER
Seasonality
Manufacturing operations in the RV, marine, powersports and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company's sales and profits had generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers in the August-September timeframe and marine open houses in the December-February timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, recent seasonal industry trends have been, and future trends may be, different than in prior years due to volatile economic conditions, interest rates, access to financing, cost of fuel, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs, powersports and marine units and other products for which the Company sells its components, as well as fluctuations in RV, powersports and marine dealer inventories, increased volatility in demand from RV, powersports and marine dealers, the timing of dealer orders, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.
