Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations: The operations of Champion Homes, Inc., formerly known as Skyline Champion Corporation (the "Company") consist of manufacturing, retail, construction services, and transportation activities. At March 28, 2026, the Company operated 42 manufacturing facilities throughout the United States (“U.S.”) and 4 manufacturing facilities in western Canada that primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed manufactured and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers, builders/developers, and manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 84 sales centers that sell manufactured houses to consumers throughout the U.S. The Company's construction services business provides installation and set-up services of factory built homes. The Company’s transportation business engages independent owners/drivers to transport recreational vehicles throughout the U.S. and Canada and manufactured houses in certain regions of the U.S.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those of its subsidiaries for which it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Estimates made in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, business combinations, reserves for obsolete inventory, accrued warranty costs, useful lives of fixed and intangible assets, asset impairment analyses, insurance reserves, legal reserves, repurchase reserves, share-based compensation, deferred tax valuation allowances, and estimated liability for product defect claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates, making it reasonably possible that a change in these estimates could occur within one year.
Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest March 31. Fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 include the 52-weeks ended March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied which generally occurs at a point in time through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company's customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance. Sales revenue is reported net of applicable sales tax. See Note 10, Revenue Recognition, for additional information.
Cost of Sales: Cost of sales includes manufacturing costs such as: (i) materials; (ii) compensation and employee benefits for direct and indirect labor; (iii) fixed and variable manufacturing overhead costs; (iv) warranty costs; (v) inbound delivery costs; and (vi) depreciation of buildings and equipment. Manufacturing overhead costs include costs such as: (i) utilities; (ii) workers’ compensation and product liability self-insurance; (iii) real and personal property taxes on buildings and equipment; (iv) manufacturing supplies; (v) repairs and maintenance; and (vi) rents and leases for buildings and equipment. Cost of sales also includes certain post-manufacturing costs, to the extent such costs are the Company’s responsibility. Post-manufacturing costs may include delivery and setup, foundations, craning, roofing, exterior cladding, interior finishing, utility connections and other miscellaneous site costs. Generally, subcontractors are engaged to perform post-manufacturing activities.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include costs such as (i) salaries, wages, incentives and employee benefits for executive, management, sales, engineering, accounting, information technology (“IT”) and administrative employees; (ii) sales commissions; (iii) marketing and advertising costs; (iv) legal and professional fees; (v) depreciation, rents and leases for administrative facilities, office equipment, IT equipment and computer software; and (vi) postage, office supplies, travel and telephone expenses.
Advertising Costs and Delivery Costs and Revenue: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Total advertising expense was approximately$12.5 million,$9.7 million, and$6.9 million for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Delivery costs are included in cost of sales and delivery revenue is included in net sales.
Foreign Currency: Translation adjustments of the Company’s international subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Fair Value: The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. As such, the fair value of financial instruments is estimated using available market information and other valuation methods.
The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the inputs and assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1—Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2—Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.
Level 3—Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.
The Company records accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities at cost. The carrying value of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that have original maturities less than 90 days at the time of their purchase. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value because of their short maturities.
Allowance for Credit Losses: The Company extends credit terms on a customer-by-customer basis in the normal course of business and, as such, trade accounts receivable are subject to customary credit risk. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost reflects management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience, as well as current economic conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as changes to expected credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. At March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, accounts receivable were reflected net of reserves of $3.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Floor Plan Receivables: Floor plan receivables consist primarily of amounts loaned by the Company through Triad Financial Services, Inc. ("Triad"), a related party, to certain independent retailers for purchases of homes manufactured by the Company, of which $47.1 million and $38.1 million was outstanding at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively. Floor plan receivables are carried net of payments received and recorded at amortized cost. The Company intends to hold the floor plan receivables until maturity or payoff. These loans are serviced by Triad, to which we pay a servicing fee. Upon execution of the financing arrangement, the floor plan loans are generally payable at the earlier of the sale of the underlying home or two years from the origination date. Floor plan receivables are included in Other Current Assets and Other Noncurrent Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Floor plan receivables are collateralized by the related homes, mitigating loss exposure. The Company and Triad evaluate the credit worthiness of each independent retailer prior to credit approval, including reviewing the independent retailer’s payment history, financial condition, and the overall economic environment. The Company evaluates the risk of credit loss in aggregate on existing loans with similar terms, based on historic experience and current economic conditions, as well as individual retailers with past due balances or other indications of heightened credit risk. The allowance for credit losses related to floor plan receivables was not material as of March 28, 2026 or March 29, 2025. Loans are considered past due if any required interest or curtailment payment remains unpaid 30 days after the due date. Receivables are placed on non-performing status if any interest or installment payments are past due over 90 days. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when interest payments are past due over 90 days. At March 28, 2026, there wereno floor plan receivables on nonaccrual status and the weighted-average age of the floor plan receivables was eleven months.
Interest income from floor plan receivables is recognized on an accrual basis and is included in interest income in the accompanying Consolidated Income Statements. Interest income from floor plan receivables for the year ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, was $2.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined under the first-in, first-out method. Capitalized manufacturing costs include the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Retail inventories of new manufactured homes built by the Company are valued at manufacturing cost, including materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, or net purchase price if acquired from unaffiliated third parties.
Property, Plant, and Equipment: Property, plant, and equipment are stated at acquisition date cost or fair value when acquired in a business combination. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method, generally over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements -3 to 10 years; buildings and improvements -8 to 25 years; and vehicles and machinery and equipment -3 to 8 years.
At March 28, 2026, the Company owned or leasedsix idle manufacturing facilities. The net book value of idle facilities was $7.0 million at March 28, 2026. These properties are accounted for as long-lived assets to be held and used.
It is the Company’s policy to evaluate the recoverability of property, plant, and equipment whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is estimated based upon a combination of market and cost approaches, as appropriate. No impairment losses were recorded in fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024.
Leases: The Company has operating leases for land, manufacturing and office facilities, and equipment. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such option. The Company's leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The Company has elected not to recognize any right of use asset or lease liability for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components.
The discount rate used to measure a lease obligation should be the rate implicit in the lease; however, the Company’s operating leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Accordingly, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is an entity-specific rate which represents the rate of interest a lessee would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments.
Goodwill: The Company tests goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized.
In fiscal 2026, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of its reporting units. The annual assessment was completed on the first day of fiscal March. The assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its respective carrying value. The Company does not believe that any reporting units are at risk for impairment.
Business combinations: The Company accounts for its business combinations in accordance with the accounting guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment, the utilization of independent appraisal firms and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future cash flows, market rate assumptions, actuarial assumptions, and appropriate discount rates, among other items.
Amortizable Intangible Assets: Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of fair values assigned to customer relationships and trade names. Trade names were valued based upon the relief-from-royalty method and customer relationships were valued based upon the multi-period excess earnings method. Amortization is provided over the useful lives of the intangible assets, generally up toten years, using the straight-line method. The recoverability of amortizable intangible assets is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recovered, in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 360.
Unconsolidated affiliates: The Company analyzes its investments in non-wholly owned subsidiaries to determine whether they are unconsolidated affiliates, consolidated affiliates, or variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary in accordance with ASC 810 Consolidation. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, it must consolidate the VIE. In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary, the Company considers whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The Company also considers whether it has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE. At March 28, 2026, the Company had two investments in non-wholly owned subsidiaries which were determined to be VIEs. The Company uses the equity method to account for its investment in a variable interest entity made in fiscal 2023 in which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company's net investment in this unconsolidated affiliate was$5.0 million at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively. The Company consolidates the results of Champion Financing, LLC ("Champion Financing"), a VIE established in fiscal 2025 for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidated net assets of Champion Financing were not material in fiscal 2026 or 2025.
Warranty Obligations: The Company’s manufactured housing operations generally provides the homebuyer with an assurance warranty from the date of respective purchase. Estimated warranty costs are accrued as cost of sales at the time of sale. Warranty provisions and reserves are based on estimates of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on homes sold by the manufacturing segment as of the balance sheet date. Factors used to calculate the warranty obligation include the estimated number of homes still under warranty, the timing of work order completion, and the historical average costs incurred to service a home.
Dealer Volume Rebates: The Company’s manufacturing operations sponsors volume rebate programs under which sales to retailers and builder/developers can qualify for cash rebates generally based on the level of sales attained during a twelve-month period. Volume rebates are accrued at the time of sale and are recorded as a reduction of net sales.
Repurchase Agreements: The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to retailers. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer on their agreement to pay the financial institution. The risk of loss from these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product less contractually defined curtailment payments. The Company accounts for the guarantee under its repurchase agreements with the retailers’ financing institutions by estimating and deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee.
Accrued Self-Insurance: The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of its workers’ compensation, general and product liability, auto liability, health, and property insurance. Insurance coverage is maintained for catastrophic exposures and those risks required to be insured by law. Estimated self-insurance costs are accrued for incurred claims and estimated claims incurred but not yet reported. At March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the Company had gross reserves for estimated losses related to workers’ compensation obligations of $25.0 million and $23.6 million, respectively. The Company also recorded expected reimbursements for the portion of those losses above respective program limits of $10.0 and $10.4 million at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.
Equity-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is generally recognized as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Comprehensive Income and Loss: Components of comprehensive income and loss are changes in equity other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The aggregate amount of such changes to equity that have not yet been recognized in net income or loss are reported in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of tax.
Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes is calculated using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is primarily dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, judgment is required.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which expands disclosures about a public entity's specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 (fiscal 2028). We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software", which amends certain aspects of the accounting for the recognition and disclosure of capitalized software costs under ASC 350-40. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (fiscal 2029). We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations
Iseman Homes, Inc. Acquisition
On May 30, 2025, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Iseman Homes, Inc. ("Iseman Homes") for total purchase consideration of $26.8 million, net of working capital adjustments. The purchase consideration consisted of net cash paid of $24.6 million, contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $0.2 million, and remaining consideration payable of $2.0 million, payable twelve months after the closing date. The contingent consideration is related to an earnout provision in the event future performance metrics are achieved, with a maximum earnout amount of $1.5 million. The liabilities for the earnout and remaining consideration payable are recorded in other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting provided by FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). As such, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired, inclusive of intangible assets, with the excess fair value recorded to goodwill.
The following table presents the consideration transferred and the purchase price allocation:
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Fair value of consideration transferred | |
| Cash consideration, net of cash acquired | 24,636 |
| Consideration payable | 2,000 |
| Estimated earn out consideration | 210 |
| Total consideration | $26,846 |
| Purchase price allocations: | |
| Trade accounts receivable | 470 |
| Inventories | 16,926 |
| Other current assets | 315 |
| Property, plant, and equipment, net | 9,560 |
| Amortizable intangible assets, net | 2,900 |
| Accounts payable | (622) |
| Other current liabilities | (8,346) |
| Identifiable net assets acquired | 21,203 |
| Goodwill | 5,643 |
| Total purchase price | $26,846 |
Trade accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and other liabilities are generally stated at historical carrying values as they approximate fair value. Retail inventories are reflected at manufacturer wholesale prices. Intangible assets include $2.9 million for a trade name based on an independent appraisal. The fair value of the trade name was determined using the relief-from-royalty method and was estimated to have a weighted average useful life often years from the acquisition date. Fair value estimates of property, plant, and equipment were based on independent appraisals, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the appraisals were drawn from a combination of market, cost, and sales comparison approaches, as appropriate. Level 3 fair value estimates of $9.6 million related to property, plant, and equipment and $2.9 million related to intangible assets were recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the acquisition date. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. For further information on acquired assets measured at fair value, see Note 5, Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Cloud Computing Arrangements.
Management has determined that the pro forma impact of the acquisition of Iseman Homes on revenue and net income is not material to the consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, such information is not presented.

Investment in ECN Capital Corporation
In September 2023, the Company entered into a share subscription agreement with ECN Capital Corp. ("ECN") and made a $137.8 million equity investment in ECN on a private placement basis. The Company purchased 33.6 million common shares, representing approximately 12% of the total outstanding common shares of ECN, and 27.5 million mandatory convertible preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 4.0%. Following the private placement, the Company owns approximately 19.9% of the voting shares of ECN. On November 13, 2025, ECN entered into a definitive arrangement to be acquired by a private investor group for CAD $3.10 per share, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. The agreement, which closed on April 24, 2026, resulted in the liquidation of the Company's investment in ECN common and preferred shares in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.
In connection with the share subscription agreement, the Company and Triad, a subsidiary of ECN, formed Champion Financing, a captive finance company that is 51% owned by the Company and 49% owned by Triad. The results of Champion Financing are included in the consolidated results of the Company on a three-month lag. Triad's 49% ownership interest is reflected as non-controlling interest in the Consolidated Income Statements.
The Company's interest in the common stock investment in ECN is accounted for under the equity method and the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of ECN are recorded on a three-month lag. For the year ended March 28, 2026, the Company's share of ECN's net income was $1.2 million. For the year ended March 29, 2025, the Company's share of ECN's net losses was$0.4 million. Dividends received on the investment in common stock of ECN are reflected as a reduction to the investment balance and are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows using the nature of the distribution approach. At March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the investment in the common stock of ECN totaled $70.5 million and $70.2 million, respectively, and is included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate value of the Company’s investment in the common stock of ECN based on the quoted market price of ECN’s common stock at March 28, 2026 was approximately $73.9 million. We assess our investment in ECN common stock for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis or when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired.
The Company's investment in the Preferred Shares is included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment is measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value. At March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the investment in the Preferred Shares was $64.5 million. There have been no adjustments to the carrying amount or impairment of the initial investment. For each of the years ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the Company reflected dividend income from the investment in the Preferred Shares of $2.4 million, respectively, which is included in other (income) expense on the accompanying Consolidated Income Statements.
Triad, a related party through its parent ECN, provides loan servicing for the Company's floor plan receivables. The Company pays Triad a fee for servicing loans which are not material for the year ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively. Triad also provides floor plan financing of the Company's products to independent retailers. At March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the Company had floor plan payables dueto Triad of $10.9 million and$35.0 million, respectively. See Note 9, Debt and Floor Plan Payable for further detail regarding the Company's floor plan financing. At March 28, 2026, the Company had repurchase commitments of $92.7 million on independent retailer floor plan loans outstanding with Triad. See Note 17, Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations, for further detail regarding the Company's contingent repurchase obligations.

On July 28, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million, including a $45.0 million letter of credit sub-facility ("Second Amended Credit Agreement"). The Second Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Company's previously existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated July 7, 2021 (as amended by Amendment No.1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2023). The Second Amended Credit Agreement allows the Company to draw down, repay and re-draw loans on the available funds during the term, subject to certain terms and conditions, matures in July 2030, and has no scheduled amortization.
The interest rate on borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or an Alternative Base Rate ("ABR") plus an interest rate spread. The interest rate spread adjusts based on the consolidated total net leverage of the Company. The interest rate ranges from a high of SOFR plus 1.875% or the ABR plus 0.875% (when the consolidated total net leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 2.25 to 1.00), to a low of SOFR plus 1.125% or the ABR plus 0.125% (when the consolidated total net leverage ratio is less than 0.50 to 1.00). At March 28, 2026, the interest rate under the Second Amended Credit Agreement was 4.79% and letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Agreement totaled $27.5 million. Available borrowing capacity under the Second Amended Credit Agreement as of March 28, 2026 was $172.5 million.
The Second Amended Credit Agreement contains covenants that restrict the amount of additional debt, liens and certain payments, including equity buy-backs, investments, dispositions, mergers and consolidations, among other restrictions as defined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 28, 2026.
Obligations under industrial revenue bonds are supported by letters of credit and bear interest based on a municipal bond index rate. The weighted-average interest rate at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, including related costs and fees, was 4.14% and 4.41%, respectively. The industrial revenue bonds require lump-sum payments of principal upon maturity in 2029 and are secured by the assets of certain manufacturing facilities.
As part of the acquisition of Regional Homes, the Company assumed notes payable to Romeo Juliet, LLC, a subsidiary of Wells Fargo Community Investment Holdings, Inc. ("WFC"). The weighted-average interest rate on those notes at March 28, 2026 was 5.42%. The notes are secured by certain assets of Regional Homes. In addition, the Company assumed a note payable to United Bank with a fixed interest rate of 3.85% that is secured by a note receivable from HHB Investment Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of WFC. The current portion of notes payable due within the next 12 months is included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Floor Plan Payable
The Company’s retail operations utilize floor plan financing to fund the purchase of manufactured homes for display or resale. At March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the Company had outstanding borrowings on floor plan financing agreements of$94.6 million and$106.1 million, respectively. Total credit line capacity provided under the agreements was$308.0 million as of March 28, 2026. The weighted average interest rate on the floor plan payable was 5.64% at March 28, 2026. Borrowings are secured by the homes and are required to be repaid when the Company sells the related home to a customer, which is generally less than one year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied which generally occurs with the transfer of control of products. The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide manufactured homes, modular homes, park model RVs, ADUs, commercial structures and transportation services. Generally, the Company’s contracts may be terminated by the Company’s customers at any time prior to initiation of construction of the respective home. Historically, terminations of these contracts have been minimal. The Company receives signed sales quotes from its customers, which provide the terms for a specific home, including price. The Company also has agreements with certain customers that provide for certain variable consideration, such as volume discounts, that are deducted from the contract price and accrued at the time of sale. In certain situations, the Company may receive payment in advance of completion of its contractual obligations. In these situations, the arising contract liability is classified within customer deposits and receipts in excess of revenues. Following the receipt of the customer deposit, the Company typically completes its performance obligation within a twelve-month period.
For sales to independent wholesale customers, revenue is recognized at the point in time when wholesale floor plan financing or retailer credit approval has been received, the home has shipped and title has transferred, which occurs when the Company has satisfied its contractual obligations and the control of its products has been transferred. The Company does not have an enforceable right to payment prior to shipment. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. The Company’s customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary within the industry. As is customary in the factory-built housing industry, a significant portion of the Company’s sales to independent retailers are financed under floor plan financing programs with certain third-party lenders. Floor plan financing arrangements are generally identified prior to shipment of products and payment for sales financed under floor plan programs is generally received 5 to 10 business days from the date of invoice.
For retail sales to consumers from Company-owned retail sales centers, revenue is recognized when the home has been delivered, set up and accepted by the consumer, and title has transferred. Revenue from Company-owned retail sales centers includes the selling price of homes internally manufactured that otherwise would have been included in Manufacturing revenue.
Revenue for the Company’s transportation operations is recognized when a shipment has been delivered to its final destination. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into law on July 4, 2025, which is considered the enactment date under U.S. GAAP. OBBBA changed many aspects of U.S. corporate income taxation including accelerated bonus depreciation, research and experimentation expense deduction, and terminating the energy efficient home tax credit. OBBBA contains multiple effective dates and only certain aspects have a financial reporting implication for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2026. The Company has reflected the effects of OBBBA as a change to income taxes payable with an offset to deferred tax assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company anticipates periodically repatriating the earnings of its Canadian subsidiaries. A deferred tax liability is recognized for income tax withholding which may be incurred upon the reversal of basis differences in investments in its foreign subsidiaries.
The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets based on whether it is “more likely than not” that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Our evaluation considers available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. The Company’s valuation allowance principally consists of valuation allowances for certain state NOL carryforwards and certain Canadian deferred tax assets.
As of March 28, 2026, the Company has state NOL carryforwards in various jurisdictions which expire primarily in 2028 through 2036.
Unrecognized tax benefits represent the differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return and the benefits recognized for financial statement purposes. There wereno unrecognized tax benefits at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.
The Company is no longer subject to foreign tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2022. The Company’s U.S. subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2026, and U.S. state tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2026.
In accordance with the adoption of ASU 2023-09, below is a summary of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, by jurisdiction for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2026:
| Year Ended | |

For the fiscal years ended March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024, prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09, net cash payments for incomes taxes were $59.2 million and $59.1 million, respectively.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has equity incentive plans under which the Company has been authorized to grant share-based awards to key employees and non-employee directors. Equity-based compensation expense of $20.9 million,$18.3 million, and $19.6 million, was recognized in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Equity-based compensation expense is included in SG&A expenses in the accompanying consolidated income statements. The total associated income tax benefit recognized was $3.3 million,$3.4 million, and$3.9 million, in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Total unrecognized equity-based compensation for all share-based awards was $30.8 million at March 28, 2026, of which $16.2 million is expected to be recognized in fiscal 2027, $10.3 million in fiscal 2028, and $4.3 million thereafter, or a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.
Stock Options
Stock options generally have terms of 10 years, with one-third of each grant vesting each year forthree years, and are assigned an exercise price that is equal to or greater than the closing market price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. When determining expected volatility, the Company considered volatility of guideline public companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, based on the options’ expected term. The expected term of the options is based on the time period to exercise for each vesting tranche, which is calculated based on the average of: (i) the full option contractual term; and (ii) the starting vest date. There were no stock options granted in fiscal 2026, 2025 or 2024. A summary of the activity associated with these awards is as follows:
| Shares (in thousands) | Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share | Weighted Average Remaining Term (in years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at April 1, 2023 | 398 | $28.68 | ||

Performance Share Units
In fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued performance share units that contain market vesting conditions, performance vesting conditions, and service conditions. The performance condition is based on the Company's market share of single family home completions ("SFC Market Share"). The SFC Market Share component of the awards are valued at the market price of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The market condition is based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) compared to the median TSR of certain companies over athree year performance period. The Company used a Monte-Carlo simulation to determine the grant date fair value for the awards, which takes into consideration the possible outcomes pertaining to the TSR market condition. Per the terms of the awards,0% to 200%of the Company’s performance share units vest on the third anniversaryof the vesting commencement date based upon achievement of the performance and market conditions as specified in the performance share unit agreement. A summary of the activity associated with these awards based on the maximum potential achievement is as follows:
| Shares (in thousands, | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit | |
|---|---|---|
| at maximum achievement) | (at maximum achievement) | |
| Outstanding at April 1, 2023 | 530 | $36.79 |

Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units are valued at the market price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In general, these awards have graded vesting conditions in which a portion of awards vest ratably in three equal installments on the anniversary of the vesting commencement date. The total fair value of restricted stock which vested was approximately $12.9 million, $19.2 million, and $15.8 million during fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Segment Information
Financial results for the Company's reportable segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments and allocates resources based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).
The Company operates intwo reportable segments: (i) U.S. Factory-built Housing, which includes manufacturing and retail housing operations and (ii) Canadian Factory-built Housing. Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation operations, the Company's financing activities, corporate costs directly incurred for all segments and intersegment eliminations. Segments are generally determined by geography. Segment data includes intersegment revenues and corporate office costs that are directly and exclusively incurred for each segment. Total assets for Corporate/Other primarily include cash and certain deferred tax items not specifically allocated to another segment.
Beginning in fiscal 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07,"Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". Selected financial information by reportable segment was as follows:

Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations
Repurchase Contingencies and Guarantees
The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to retailers. These arrangements, which are customary in the manufactured housing industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer on their agreement to pay the financial institution. The risk of loss from these agreements is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous retailers. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product less contractually defined curtailment payments. Based on these repurchase agreements and our historical loss experience, we establish an associated loss reserve which was$1.7 million and$1.6 million at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively. Excluding the resale value of the homes, the contingent repurchase obligation as of March 28, 2026 was estimated to be approximately$233.7 million. Losses incurred on homes repurchased were immaterial during each of the fiscal years ended March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024.
At March 28, 2026, the Company was contingently obligated for approximately$27.5 million under letters of credit, primarily consisting of$12.7 million to support long-term debt,$14.5 million to support the casualty insurance program, and$0.3 million to support bonding agreements. The letters of credit are issued under a sub-facility of the Credit Agreement. The Company was also contingently obligated for$14.8 million under surety bonds, which generally support performance on long-term construction contracts and license and service bonding requirements.
In the normal course of business, the Company’s former subsidiaries that operated in the United Kingdom historically provided certain guarantees to two customers. Those guarantees provide contractual liability for proven construction defects up to 12 years from the date of delivery of certain products. The guarantees remain a contingent liability of the Company which declines over time through October 2027. As of the date of this report, the Company expects few, if any, claims to be reported under the terms of the guarantees.
Product Liability - Water Intrusion
The Company has received consumer complaints for damages related to water intrusion in homes built in one of its manufacturing facilities prior to fiscal 2022. The Company has investigated, and believes, the cause of the damage is the result of materials that did not perform in accordance with the manufacturer's contractual obligations. The Company has identified that certain homes constructed over that period that may be affected. Based on the results of ongoing investigation and repair efforts, the Company developed a remediation plan under Subpart I of the HUD code, which was approved in fiscal 2025. The plan called for inspection and repair of affected homes if there is evidence of damage, or procedures to mitigate the opportunity for future damage. As a result of the proposal, the Company recorded a charge of$34.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 related to the estimated costs of the planned remediation efforts. The Company estimated the charges by establishing a range of total expected costs determined by an actuary using a Monte Carlo simulation. The analysis, which was completed at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, resulted in a range of losses between$34.5 million and $85.0 million. The Company was not able to determine a value in the range that was more likely than any other value, and as prescribed by U.S. GAAP, recorded the charge for remediation based on the low end of the range of potential losses. During fiscal 2026, the Company reassessed the total expected remaining estimated costs of the planned remediation efforts and determined, through completed inspection, repair and settlement efforts, that there was sufficient experience such that recording to the low end of a range of losses was no longer appropriate. The actuarial analysis completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 resulted in a charge of $8.5 million to increase the remaining estimated liability to$35.6 million at March 28, 2026. The Company will continue to monitor the population of affected homes and the results of the inspection and repair activities, including actual repair costs on the affected homes and the number of affected homes to be repaired, and may revise the amount of the estimated liability, which could result in an increase or decrease in the estimated liability in future periods.
In January 2026, the Company entered into an agreement with the distributor of the roofing material to share certain costs of the remediation. As a result, the Company received $3.5 million cash payment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and will receive $2.5 million of future purchase credits. Reimbursements are reflected as a reduction to cost of goods sold as cash is received or purchase credits are applied. Additionally, the distributor will reimburse the Company for a portion of future remediation costs which will be both in the form of cash and purchase credits. Such amounts will be reflected as a reduction to cost of goods sold when those purchase credits are applied.
The Company has agreed to indemnify counterparties in the ordinary course of its business in agreements to acquire and sell business assets and in financing arrangements. The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. As of the date of this filing, the Company believes the ultimate liability with respect to these contingent obligations will not have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Concentrations
The components and products used in the factory-built housing operations are presently available from a variety of vendors, and the Company is not dependent upon any single supplier. Prices of certain materials, such as lumber, insulation, steel and drywall, can fluctuate significantly due to changes in demand and supply. Additionally, availability of certain materials, such as drywall and insulation, has sometimes been limited, resulting in higher prices and/or the need to find alternative suppliers. The Company generally has been able to pass higher material costs on to its customers in the form of surcharges and price increases.
Sales from the Company's Canadian operations were approximately 4% of consolidated sales for fiscal 2026,4% in fiscal 2025, and 5% in fiscal 2024. The Company’s Canadian assets were approximately$159.1 million and$140.2 million at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively. The Company has approximately 9,300 employees. The Company’s manufacturing facilities in Canada employ approximately 700 workers, and most of the workers belong to trade associations that operate under collective bargaining agreements. There are four collective bargaining agreements (one for each Canadian manufacturing facility) and each are set to expire at various dates through 2028.
