Tariff and Trade Environment
Previous report
The recently imposed U.S. tariffs did not materially impact our third quarter results, but their effects and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs may, among other things, create new trade barriers that disrupt supply chains, raise costs, weaken consumer confidence and impact consumer demand for our products, and impact our ability to export our products, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results. The extent of the impact of tariffs on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict. While we anticipate a modest impact from tariffs on our fiscal 2025 costs, we are closely monitoring the rapidly evolving tariff landscape and are working diligently with key suppliers to mitigate risks. For additional information regarding the potential impacts of tariffs on our business and results of operations, see “Part I, Item 1A. Risk factors” in our 2024 Annual Report.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share, which we refer to collectively as the Non-GAAP Measures, are not measures of net income or operating income as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The Non-GAAP Measures are not measures of performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net income per share, or operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of cash flow. We believe that the inclusion of the Non-GAAP Measures is appropriate to provide additional information to investors because securities analysts and investors use the Non-GAAP Measures to assess our operating performance across periods on a consistent basis and to evaluate the relative risk of an investment in our securities. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than does U.S. GAAP measures alone.

Previous wording
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 30, 2025 was $18.5 million, primarily due to net income and favorable changes to working capital. Working capital is defined as accounts receivable, income tax receivable, inventories, and prepaid expenses and other current assets net of accounts payable, income tax payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities as presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Favorable changes in working capital primarily consisted of an increase in accounts payables and a decrease in accounts receivable. Partially offsetting favorable changes in working capital was an increase in inventories. Accounts payables increased due to increased production compared to the prior-year period. Accounts receivable decreased due to timing of sales at the end of the period compared to the end of the prior-year period. Inventories increased due to higher value on finished goods and timing of sales at the end of the period compared to the end of the prior-year period.
Current wording

Working capital usage primarily consisted of a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, an increase in accounts receivable, inventories, and prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities decreased due to payment of dealer incentives and variable compensation. Accounts receivable increased due to timing of sales and collections at the end of the period compared to the end of the prior-year period. Inventories increased due to timing of raw material purchases and production at the end of the period compared to the end of the prior-year period.
