Champion Homes, Inc.

Previous wording

Certain materials used in the construction of homes such as lumber, insulation, steel, drywall, oil-based products and fuel, among others, can become scarce during periods of high demand for new home construction as well as renovation and remodeling of existing homes. We depend on timely and sufficient delivery of raw materials from our suppliers. In addition, a few key components of our products are produced by a small group of quality suppliers that have the capacity to supply large quantities. Disruption to the supply chain of these key components, including as a result of changes in U.S. trade policies, could have an adverse impact on our production output. Raw material shortages from these and other suppliers can be more severe during periods following natural disasters or broader economic disruptions.

Previous wording

Pricing for raw materials can be affected by national, regional, local, economic and political factors, including tariffs and periods of high inflation. We obtain raw materials through various supply channels, some of which involve importing materials from foreign countries. In fiscal 2025, the United States imposed increased tariffs on foreign imports into the United States from certain countries as well as additional proposed tariffs on other countries. The tariff policy environment has been and is expected to continue to be dynamic, and we cannot predict what additional actions may ultimately be taken by the United States or other governments with respect to tariffs or trade relations. As a result, we may be required to, among other things, take steps to mitigate the impact of tariffs on our business, including by raising the prices on products subject to such tariffs to share these costs with our customers and/or by making changes to our supply chain practices, sources of supply, or manufacturing locations, which could also have significant impacts on our financial results. Changes in U.S. trade policies could also lead to higher inflation, which would negatively impact consumers' purchasing power and demand for our products. Raw material shortages and price increases could cause delays in and increases to our costs of construction which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Previous wording

We cannot be certain that historical consumer preferences for factory-built homes in general, and for our products in particular, will remain unchanged. Our ability to remain competitive depends heavily on our ability to provide a continuing and timely introduction of innovative product offerings. We believe that the introduction of new features, designs, and models will be critical to the future success of our operations. Managing frequent product introductions poses inherent risks. Delays in the introduction or market acceptance of new models, designs, or product features could have a material adverse effect on our business. Products may not be accepted for a number of reasons, including changes in consumer preferences or our failure to properly gauge consumer preferences. Further, we cannot be certain that new product introductions will not reduce net sales from existing models and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our net sales may be adversely affected if our new models and products are not introduced to the market on time or are not successful when introduced. Finally, our competitors’ products may obtain better market acceptance despite our efforts to lead the market.

Previous wording

Increased attention and evolving expectations relating to environmental, social and governance matters may impact our business, financial results or stock price.

Current wording

Increased attention and evolving expectations relating to sustainability matters may impact our business, financial results or stock price.

Previous wording

Increased attention continues to be directed to publicly traded companies and their activities related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters. Advocacy groups have campaigned for action to promote change at public companies related to ESG matters. These activities include increasing action related to climate change and the use of energy efficient building products. Different stakeholder groups have divergent views on ESG matters, which increases the risk that any action or lack thereof with respect to ESG matters may be perceived negatively and adversely impact our reputation and business. In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and other matters have developed ratings systems for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG. Unfavorable ESG ratings may lead to negative investor sentiment which could have a negative impact on our stock price.

We rely on qualified drivers to deliver homes from our manufacturing facilities to retail centers and customer home sites. A lack of qualified drivers to deliver manufactured homes could result in an increase in our cost of goods sold and operating expenses. Additionally, delays in the shipment of completed homes due to lack of qualified drivers could impact our ability to meet customer demand on a timely basis.

Previous wording

Although we maintain our own factory direct retail business in select markets, we conduct a majority of our business through independent distributors. Over 75% of our shipments of homes in fiscal 2025 were made to independent customers throughout the U.S. and western Canada. We may not be able to establish relationships with new independent customers or maintain good relationships with independent distributors that sell our homes. Even if we establish and maintain relationships with independent distributors, these customers are not obligated to sell our homes exclusively and may choose to sell competitors’ homes instead. The independent customers with whom we have relationships can cancel these relationships on short notice. In addition, these customers may not remain financially solvent, as they are subject to industry, economic, demographic, and seasonal trends similar to those faced by us. If we do not establish and maintain relationships with solvent independent distributors in the markets we serve, sales in those markets, if we cannot offset by sales through an expanded factory-direct retail business, could decline and our results of operations and cash flows could suffer.

Previous wording

Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions, particularly with employees and others on data networks working increasingly from home. We, our partners, vendors, and other third-party providers could be susceptible to third-party attacks on our and their information security systems, which attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication and are made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise, including criminal groups. Furthermore, advancements in artificial intelligence could be used by threat actors to attack our systems by using increasingly sophisticated and effective techniques to access our data. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost, or stolen. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, disrupt our operations, and damage our reputation, any of which could adversely affect our business.

Current wording

Cyber threats are ongoing, rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly sophisticated. As the breadth and complexity of the technologies we use continue to grow, the risk of security breaches and cyber attacks also increases.

Previous wording

A large portion of the people who buy our homes finance their home purchases through third-party lenders. Increases in interest rates or decreases in the availability of consumer financing have affected and could continue to adversely affect the market for homes. Interest rates were near historical lows for several years, which made purchasing new factory-built homes more affordable. However, in early 2022, the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee began raising the target rate for the federal funds rate in response to rising inflation. The federal funds rate stabilized in fiscal 2024; however, it remains significantly higher than historic lows and the rate could increase in the future if rates of inflation increase. Potential manufactured housing customers have been and may continue to be less willing or able to pay the increased monthly costs that result from higher loan rates. In addition, recent increases in the prices of homes resulting from inflation, combined with higher loan rates, have limited and may continue to limit consumers’ ability to obtain financing to purchase a home. In addition, lenders may increase the qualifications needed for financing or adjust their terms to address any increased credit risk. These factors could continue to adversely affect the sales or pricing of our factory-built homes. These developments have historically had, and may once again have, an adverse effect on the overall demand for factory-built housing and its competitiveness with other forms of housing and could continue to adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Previous wording

Inflation adversely affects us by increasing costs of raw materials, labor and transportation. Inflation also adversely affects our customers by decreasing purchasing power and ability to afford a new home. The U.S. economy recently experienced a period of higher inflation, stemming from efforts by the U.S. government to stimulate the economy and other factors. The increased rate of inflation has also lead to higher interest rates, which has had and continue to have a negative impact on the housing industry, as well as increases in our borrowing rates. While we have historically been able to pass along price increases to our customers, in a persistently inflationary environment, we may not be able to raise prices sufficiently in order to maintain our margins.

As of March 29, 2025, 17.0% of our total assets consisted of goodwill, all of which is allocated to reporting units included in the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), we test goodwill at least annually for impairment or more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If goodwill has become impaired, we charge the impairment as an expense in the period in which the impairment occurs. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. A write-off of all or part of our goodwill could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Previous wording

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which, if not remediated appropriately or timely, could affect our ability to report financial information timely and accurately, negatively affect investor confidence, and cause reputational harm.

Current wording

We previously had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and if we have additional material weaknesses in the future it could affect our ability to report financial information timely and accurately, negatively affect investor confidence, and cause reputational harm.

Previous wording

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A "Controls and Procedures," management determined that there is a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting due to the lack of effectiveness of internal controls in the Regional Homes retail operations acquired in October 2023. As a result, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are not considered effective as of March 29, 2025. While the Company is actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address the material weakness, there can be no assurance that the efforts will fully remediate the material weakness in a timely manner. If we are unable to remediate the material weakness, or are otherwise unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures, it could adversely affect our ability to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, resulting in material misstatements in our financial statements or causing us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, which could subject us to litigation or investigations requiring management resources and payment of legal and other expenses, negatively affect investor confidence in our financial statements and cause reputational harm.
