Current report
During the first quarter of 2025, we expect to open twelve RV dealerships, convert one RV service and retail center into an RV dealership, and close two RV dealerships.
Current report
On January 17, 2024, we announced that we were reviewing potential strategic alternatives for our Good Sam business. In conducting that review, we came to the decision that the greatest value to the Company can be achieved through retaining the Good Sam business. We have deepened our appreciation for the non-cyclical nature of the business and recognize the large growth potential of the business over multiple vectors in the outdoor and recreational space. Going forward, we expect that Good Sam will continue to benefit from its relationship with the Camping World brand and store footprint but will be empowered to operate independently to drive growth.

SG&A Excluding SBC as a Percentage of Gross Profit. SG&A Excluding SBC is a significant component of our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. SBC is excluded from the determination of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Our ability to control costs within SG&A Excluding SBC and the extent to which these expenses are variable with gross profit are a significant focus of our management and we believe they are a focus of analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
Current report
For a definition of SG&A Excluding SBC, a reconciliation of SG&A Excluding SBC to SG&A, and a further discussion of how we utilize this non-GAAP financial measure and its limitations, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Current report
Since certain of our RV manufacturers had indicated that they expected new towable vehicle average manufacturer selling prices to decline by up to 10% for 2024 model year vehicles, we focused on clearing out a significant portion of our pre-2024 model year new vehicles primarily during the fourth quarter of 2023 and early 2024 to improve the mix of our new vehicle inventory toward the lower cost 2024 model year vehicles. These new vehicle cost decreases further decreased average selling prices of new vehicles in 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, overall new vehicle gross margins decreased 112 basis points to 14.4%, as our average selling price per vehicle decreased 8.6% while our average cost per vehicle decreased 7.4%.
Current report
Additionally, these new vehicle price pressures have resulted, and may continue to result, in a decline in residual values of used vehicles, which led us to discount used vehicle pricing in order to maintain used vehicles as a lower cost alternative to new vehicles, which has negatively impacted used vehicle gross margins. We also experienced lower used vehicle inventory levels in 2024 as we slowed procurement to allow RV owner pricing expectations to adjust as a result of 2024 model year pricing declines. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we took steps to reverse the trend of decreasing used vehicle revenue and unit sales, which resulted in an 8.2% increase in used vehicle revenue and 11.4% increase in used vehicle unit sales in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Current report
We are closely monitoring U.S. trade policy developments with countries from which we source product and equipment, such as China, Mexico, and Canada. There is uncertainty as to the extent and duration of additional tariffs that have or may be imposed on imports from these countries. We have made adjustments to our procurement practices to partially mitigate certain of the potential negative effects that additional tariffs may impose on the sourcing of our inventory and equipment. Additionally, many of our U.S.-based suppliers source some of their components from these countries, which could result in higher procurement costs from U.S.-based suppliers. In 2024, our costs applicable to revenue included the costs of directly sourced inventory from China, Mexico, and Canada of approximately $27.0 million, $10.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Current report
Good Sam Services and Plans revenue increased slightly as increased contracts in force for our Good Sam Insurance Agency programs and the introduction of our new tire rescue roadside assistance program were partially offset by reduced contracts in force for our traditional roadside assistance programs.
Current report
Good Sam Services and Plans gross profit and gross margin decreased primarily due to the nonrecurrence in 2024 of $5.5 million in savings from finalizing contract negotiations to exit an arrangement with a service partner in 2023, incremental roadside assistance claims costs in 2024 and reduced policies in force for our roadside assistance programs, partially offset by increased contracts in force for our Good Sam Insurance Agency programs.
Current report
New vehicles revenue increased primarily due to a 20.0% increase in the number of new vehicles sold, partially offset by an 8.6% decrease in the average selling price per new vehicle sold driven primarily by the lower cost of 2024 model year travel trailers and discounting of pre-2024 model year new vehicles. On a same store basis, new vehicles revenue increased 4.9% to $2.5 billion with an increase in the number of new vehicles sold of 15.0%, which was partially offset by an 8.8% decrease in the average selling price per new vehicle sold (see Industry Trends above in Item 7 of Part II of this Form 10-K for further discussion of new vehicle average selling prices and cost).
Current report
New vehicles gross profit increased primarily due to the increase in new vehicles sold, partially offset by the lower gross profit per new vehicle. The lower gross profit per new vehicle and 112 basis point decrease in new vehicle gross margin was driven by the 8.6% decrease in average selling price per new vehicle sold, which was mostly offset by a 7.4% decrease in average cost per new vehicle sold resulting primarily from the lower cost 2024 model year travel trailers.
Current report
Used vehicles revenue decreased primarily due to a 10.2% reduction in the number of used vehicles sold and a 9.2% decrease in the average selling price per used vehicle sold. The decrease in used vehicles sold was due in large part to slowed procurement of used vehicles. This reduced availability and decrease in average selling price of used vehicles were largely a byproduct of the lower cost and selling price of 2024 model year new vehicles, which impacted used vehicles as discussed in “Industry Trends” above. On a same store
Current report
basis, used vehicles revenue decreased 22.8% to $1.4 billion, resulting from a 14.6% decrease in used vehicles sold and a 9.6% decrease in average sales price per used vehicle sold.
Current report
Used vehicles gross profit decreased primarily due to the decrease in used vehicles sold and the lower gross profit per used vehicle sold. The lower gross profit per used vehicle and a 209 basis point decrease in used vehicle gross margin was driven by the 9.2% decrease in average selling price per used vehicle sold, partially offset by the 6.8% decrease in average cost per used vehicle sold.
Current report
Products, service and other revenue decreased primarily due to a reduction in sales activity resulting from our Active Sports Restructuring, the divestiture of our RV furniture business, and fewer used vehicles sold leading to a decline in retail product attachment to vehicle sales, as used vehicles experience higher retail product attachment than new vehicles. This revenue decrease was partially offset by increases in RV service revenue. On a same store basis, products, service and other revenue decreased 4.0% to $648.2 million.
Current report
Products, service and other gross profit increased primarily due to higher labor billing rates and billable hours. The increase in products, service and other gross margin was primarily due to higher labor billing rates resulting from increased demand and increased technician wages, a higher proportion of billable labor, product discounting associated with restructuring of our Active Sports business in 2023, and margin improvement associated with the sale of our RV furniture business in the second quarter of 2024.
Current report
Good Sam Club revenue increased mostly due to an additional $2.8 million of favorable adjustments to our loyalty point liability from changes in our estimates of breakage and point value, an additional $1.7 million of revenue from enhancements to the co-branded credit card program in late 2023 to incorporate our loyalty points program into the credit card rewards, and an increased rate per annual membership, partially offset by a decrease in Good Sam Club enrollment, excluding free basic plan members. The decrease in Good Sam Club members resulted from an increase in the standard membership price and the introduction of the free basic plan in late 2023 that provides for limited participation in the loyalty point program without access to the remaining member benefits.
Current report
SG&A
Current report
SG&A increased primarily due to $29.4 million of additional advertising expenses, and $7.3 million of additional employee compensation costs, consisting of a $9.3 million increase in employee cash compensation expenses partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in SBC expenses.
Current report
Depreciation and amortization increased primarily from $7.9 million of additional amortization of finance lease assets that included the conversion of six property operating leases to finance leases. The remaining
Current report
increase was primarily from additional depreciation on property and equipment for new store locations added in 2024 and late 2023.
Current report
Lease Termination
Current report
We recognized a $2.3 million gain from lease terminations in 2024, which represented $6.8 million from the derecognition of the operating lease assets and liabilities and other lease costs relating to the terminated leases, partially offset by $4.5 million of cash payments to terminate those leases.
Current report
Loss (gain) on sale or disposal of assets
Current report
The increased loss on sale or disposal of assets in 2024 was driven primarily by the divestiture of our RV furniture business that resulted in a loss of $7.1 million (see Note 6 – Assets Held for Sale and Business Divestiture to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). Additionally, the gain on sale or disposal of assets in 2023 related primarily to the sale of properties.
Current report
Other interest expense, net increased primarily due to a higher average principal balance from increased borrowings with higher average interest rates on the Company’s Real Estate Facilities, and a 20 basis point increase in the Term Loan Facility average interest rate (see Note 10 – Long-Term Debt to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). The average interest rate for the Term Loan Facility for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 7.80% and 7.60%, respectively. The average interest rate on the M&T Real Estate Facility for years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 7.45% and 7.10%, respectively
Current report
Other expense, net primarily represents loss and impairment on investments in equity securities which included impairment on investments in equity securities of $0.9 million and $1.3 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Current report
See the “Revenue and Gross Profit” section above for a discussion of impacts to revenue for Good Sam Services and Plans. Adjusted costs applicable to revenues increased primarily from the nonrecurrence in 2024 of the $5.5 million in savings from finalizing contract negotiations to exit an arrangement with a service partner in 2023 and incremental roadside assistance claims costs in 2024. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily from $2.6 million of additional employee cash compensation expense. The Good Sam Services and Plans Segment Adjusted EBITDA decrease was driven primarily by the increases to adjusted costs applicable to revenue and adjusted selling, general and administrative expense discussed above. Intersegment revenue and intersegment costs applicable to revenue did not have a significant impact on the decrease in Segment Adjusted EBITDA.
Current report
See the “Revenue and Gross Profit” section above for a discussion of impacts to revenue for RV and Outdoor Retail and “Floor plan interest expense” section above for a discussion of the increase in floor plan interest expense. Adjusted costs applicable to revenue decreased from (i) lower total vehicle costs of $14.7 million driven by 5.3% lower cost per total vehicle units, which was partially offset by 5.2% higher total unit sales, and (ii) lower products, service and other costs applicable to revenue from the decrease in revenue, additional costs applicable to revenue in 2023 from the discounting associated with restructuring of our Active Sports business in 2023, and the sale of our RV furniture business in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily from $28.9 million of additional advertising expenses. The RV and Outdoor Retail Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased from the reductions in revenue and increases in segment expenses discussed above. Intersegment revenue, intersegment costs applicable to revenue, and intersegment operating expenses did not have a significant impact on the decrease in Segment Adjusted EBITDA.

In this Item 7, we discuss the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and comparisons of the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2022. Discussions of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and comparisons of the year ended December 31, 2022 to the year ended December 31, 2021 can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2023.

COVID-19
Previous report
Within a few months of the initial significant outbreaks of COVID-19 in the U.S. in 2020, we experienced elevated demand for RVs and many of our related products and services. We believe that consumers view RVs as a safer alternative to many other travel and recreational activities, in addition to an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors after many consumers spent much of their time at home during portions of the pandemic. We believe this led to an introduction of many new customers to the RV lifestyle and a greater appreciation of outdoor activities. For much of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand and interest in new and used vehicles outpaced vehicle supply. Beginning in September 2021, we were able to procure more new vehicles from our suppliers than were sold and new towables inventory levels, in particular, normalized in early 2022. As other modes of transportation and vacation options have mostly recovered from the impact of COVID-19, the increased demand for our products has dropped from the peak levels experienced in recent years.
Previous report
On January 17, 2024, we announced that we are reviewing potential strategic alternatives for our Good Sam business, which could include a potential sale, spin off or other disposition of the business. No decision has been made whether to proceed with any particular alternative. We have not set a deadline for the strategic alternatives review process, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in any particular outcome.
Previous report
Plans to our Active Customer base. Gross margin in our RV and Outdoor Retail segment was positively impacted in 2021 and, to a lesser extent, 2022 by increased demand for vehicles and reduced supply leading to higher average prices per unit. However, gross margins in 2023 and 2022 were negatively impacted by the higher cost of new vehicles that was driven largely from the reduced supply of new vehicles during much of 2021. Gross margins were also negatively impacted in 2023 by the decline in average prices per unit.
Previous report
Thor Industries, our largest supplier of RVs, disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on December 6, 2023 that its North American RV order backlog had declined 54% compared to October 31, 2022, primarily as a result of a reduction in orders from independent dealers. Thor Industries also disclosed that it believes that as of July 31, 2023, the North American RV independent dealer inventory levels were generally at, or slightly higher than, the levels dealers are comfortable stocking for most of their towable products and generally aligned with desired levels for its motorized products.
Previous report
Certain of our RV manufacturers have indicated that they expect new towable vehicle average selling prices to decline by up to 10% for model year 2024 vehicles. The decrease in average selling prices for new towable vehicles has led to additional discounting on new vehicles from prior model years, beginning primarily in the fourth quarter of 2023, which has negatively impacted our near-term new vehicle gross margins as we sell through our stock of pre-2024 model year vehicles. Additionally, these new vehicle price pressures have resulted, and may continue to result, in a decline in residual values of used vehicles, which led us to discount used vehicle pricing in order to maintain our rate of sale and inventory turns, which has negatively impacted used vehicle gross margins. Certain finance and insurance and Good Sam services and plans revenues that are at least partially based on new and/or used vehicle pricing have been negatively impacted by new and used vehicle average selling price decreases.
Previous report
During 2023 we experienced the impact of inflation on our operations, particularly with the increased cost of new vehicles. The price risk relating to new vehicles includes the cost from the manufacturer, as well as freight and logistics costs. Each of these costs have been impacted, to differing degrees, by factors such as high demand for product, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and increased fuel costs, some of which were caused, in part, by the COVID-19 pandemic. These cost pressures began to recede during the third quarter of 2023 and we expect this trend to continue into 2024.
Previous report
We have increased employee compensation rates as a response to the generally higher cost of living experienced in much of the United States in recent quarters. While we regularly review our compensation arrangements to ensure that our pay practices are competitive, we made meaningful adjustments to labor rates, largely in the fourth quarter of 2022, which were mostly offset by other cost reductions which included reduced headcount in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the elimination or reduction of underperforming assets, locations, and business lines. Additionally, during September and October of 2023, we implemented employee headcount reductions and adjustments to employee variable compensation plans that are expected to result in approximately $60.0 million of annual cost savings, primarily for selling, general and administrative expenses. These cost savings exclude any additional employee headcount from our expected expansion of store locations.
Previous report
Comparison of Certain Trends to Pre-COVID-19 Pandemic Periods
Previous report
During 2023, we experienced a decrease in gross margin for new and used vehicles compared to 2022. However, 2023 new vehicle gross margins were higher than the pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of 2016 to 2019, which we believe are more typical demand environments than during the COVID-19 pandemic. During 2023, as the procurement prices of model year 2024 new vehicles declined compared to model years 2022 and 2023, we actively discounted certain used vehicles to reduce inventory levels of aged used vehicles. This discounting had a negative impact on used vehicle gross margins during 2023.
Previous report
Additionally, the percentage of total unit sales relating to used vehicles was significantly higher in 2023 compared to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of 2016 to 2019. We are continuing to execute on our used vehicle strategy, which differentiates us from the competition with proprietary tools, such as the RV Valuator, a focus on the development and retention of our service technician team, and investment in our service bay infrastructure.

RV and Outdoor Retail segment revenue decreased primarily due to a $652.8 million, or 20.2%, decrease in new vehicles revenue, a $129.5 million, or 12.9%, decrease in products, service and other revenue, a $76.5 million, or 11.9%, decrease in finance and insurance, net revenue, and a $2.0 million, or 4.3%, decrease in Good Sam Club revenue, partially offset by a $102.4 million, or 5.4%, increase in used vehicles revenue.
Previous report
RV and Outdoor Retail segment income decreased primarily due to a 5.1% reduction in total vehicles sold, and decreased segment gross profit of $395.6 million, relating to reduced vehicles sold, which also tends to result in a correlating decrease in finance and insurance, net revenue, and reduced sales price per vehicle sold, a $41.0 million increase in floor plan interest expense, a $5.0 million increase in long-lived asset impairment, partially offset by a $65.2 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses (see discussion of selling, general and administrative expenses above for the similar drivers of this change), a $5.8

RV and Outdoor Retail segment income margin decreased to 2.6% in the year ended December 31, 2023 from 7.8% in the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to reduced average sales prices and increased average costs per vehicle sold for the year ended December 31, 2023 versus the comparable period in 2022.

Inventories — Products, Parts, Accessories and Other
Previous report
In assessing lower of cost or net realizable value for products, parts, accessories and other inventories, we typically consider (i) the aging of the inventory item, (ii) historical sales experience of the inventory item, and (iii) current market conditions and trends for the inventory item. We also review and consider the following metrics related to sales of inventory items (both on a recent and longer-term historical basis): (i) days of supply in our inventory, and (ii) average selling price if sold at less than original cost. We then determine the appropriate level of inventory cost adjustment required to reduce our inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value and record the resulting adjustment in the period in which we determine a loss has occurred. If future demand or market conditions for our products are less favorable than forecasted or if unforeseen circumstances negatively impact the utility of inventory, we may be required to record additional write-downs, which would negatively affect the results of operations in the period when the write-downs are recorded. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded incremental inventory reserve charges of $4.3 million relating to the Active Sports Restructuring and, for the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded incremental inventory reserve charges of $15.0 million relating to our 2019 Strategic Shift (see Note 5 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). If there was a decrease in net realizable value of our products, parts, accessories and other inventory that resulted in a 100 basis point decrease in the cost of that inventory at December 31, 2023, the resulting inventory cost adjustment would be $2.0 million.

Same store revenue. Same store revenue measures the performance of a store location during the current reporting period against the performance of the same store location in the corresponding period of the previous year. Our same store revenue calculations for a given period include only those stores that were open both at the end of the corresponding period and at the beginning of the preceding fiscal year. As of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, we had a base of 166, 166, and 158 same stores, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our aggregate same store revenue was $5.2 billion, $5.9 billion, and $5.8 billion, respectively. With same store revenue driven by the number of transactions and the average transaction price, changes in our mix of new vehicle sales has in the past negatively impacted, and in the future is likely to negatively impact, our new vehicle same store revenue. Over the past several years, we have seen a shift in our overall mix of new RV sales towards travel trailer vehicles, which tend to carry lower average selling prices than other classes of new RV vehicles. From 2015 to 2023, total new vehicle travel trailer units have increased from 62% to 75% of total new vehicle unit sales but from 2015 to 2023 our average selling price of a new vehicle unit increased from $39,853 to $43,866. Due to lower industry supply of travel trailers and motorhomes during much of 2020 and 2021, both average cost and average sales price increased. However, average sales price decreased in 2023 (see “Industry Trends” below), which impacted our same store revenue.

Over the past several years, we have seen a shift in our overall mix of new RV sales towards travel trailer vehicles, which tend to carry lower average selling prices than other classes of new RV vehicles. From 2015 to 2024, total new vehicle travel trailer units have increased from 62% to 78% of total new vehicle unit sales. From 2015 to 2024 our average selling price of a new vehicle unit increased 1% from $39,853 to $40,089, as inflation over that period was partially offset by the higher mix of lower priced travel trailers.
Previous wording
Our gross profit is variable in nature and generally follows changes in our revenue. Sales of new vehicles generally result in a lower gross margin than other areas of our business, including used vehicles, repair service and installation work, RV equipment and accessories, outdoor equipment and accessories and finance and insurance products. While gross margins for our RV and Outdoor Retail segment are lower than gross margins for our Good Sam Services and Plans, this segment generates significant gross profit and is our primary means of acquiring new customers, to whom we then cross sell our higher margin products and services with recurring revenue.

The per unit cost of new vehicles has been significantly higher than we experienced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the RV manufacturers’ supply constraints during the pandemic, strong demand for new vehicles during the pandemic, higher inflation, and higher interest rates. These higher costs had been partially mitigated by the higher average selling prices on new vehicles initially, but we experienced a decrease in new vehicle gross margins during the year ended December 31, 2022, which continued in 2023, as a result of these higher costs. We experienced a 4.3% decrease in the average sale price of new vehicles during 2023 compared to 2022, driven by more price sensitive customers in a higher interest rate environment. We will continue to evaluate supplier pricing and the mix of our vehicle offerings, such as lower-priced towables, among other criteria, as part of our vehicle procurement process.

Inflationary factors, such as increases to our product and overhead costs, may adversely affect our operating results if the selling prices of our products and services do not increase proportionately with those increased costs or if demand for our products and services declines as a result of price increases to address inflationary costs. We finance substantially all of our new vehicle inventory and certain of our used vehicle inventory through revolving floor plan arrangements. Inflationary increases in the costs of new and/or used vehicles financed through the revolving floor plan arrangement result in an increase in the outstanding principal balance of the revolving floor plan arrangement. Additionally, our leases require us to pay taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance and utilities, all of which are generally subject to inflationary increases. Further, the cost of remodeling acquired RV dealership locations and constructing new RV dealership locations is subject to inflationary increases in the costs of labor and material, which results in higher rent expense on new RV dealership locations. Finally, our credit agreements include interest rates that vary based on various benchmarks. Such rates have historically increased during periods of increasing inflation.
Current wording
As noted in “Industry Trends” above, we have experienced, and continue to experience, reduced cost and average selling prices with respect to new vehicles and, as a byproduct of the new vehicle pricing decrease, used vehicles. New and used vehicles regularly represent a majority of our costs. However, inflationary factors, such as increases to our product cost, overhead costs, or tariffs on imported product or components used by RV manufacturers, have in the past adversely affected and may in the future adversely affect our operating results if the selling prices of our products and services do not increase proportionately with those increased costs or if demand for our products and services declines as a result of price increases to address inflationary costs.

In 2019, we made a strategic decision to refocus our business around our core RV competencies (the “2019 Strategic Shift”). On March 1, 2023, our management determined to implement plans (the “Active Sports Restructuring”) to exit and restructure operations of our indirect subsidiary, Active Sports, LLC, a specialty products retail business (“Active Sports”). As of December 31, 2023, the Company had substantially completed the activities under the 2019 Strategic Shift and Active Sports Restructuring except for the remaining potential ongoing charges related to lease termination costs and other associated costs relating to the leases of certain previously closed locations and facilities. The process of identifying subtenants and negotiating lease terminations had been delayed, which initially was in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The timing of these negotiations will vary as both subleases and terminations are contingent on landlord approvals. See Note 5 — Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

The timing of sublease and/or termination negotiations will vary as both are contingent on landlord approvals. We expect that the ongoing lease-related costs relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift, net of associated sublease income, will be less than $3.5 million per year. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company terminated the final significant lease under the Active Sports Restructuring that included a $1.5 million lease termination fee that was paid in October 2024. The Company does not expect any further costs under the Active Sports Restructuring beyond insignificant lease costs of less than $0.2 million per year.

Income tax increased primarily due to a $28.4 million decrease in deferred tax assets, net of release of valuation allowance, as a result of the LLC Conversion recorded in 2022. Additionally, income tax expense for 2021 included benefits to income tax of $4.1 million for the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of increased state tax rates and $15.2 million for the release of valuation allowance at CW, which, in 2021 and 2022 prior to the LLC Conversion, became available to offset state combined income in certain unitary states due to the Company’s increased ownership in CWGS, LLC. The valuation allowance release during 2021 was attributable to the change in the entities within state combined filing groups due to unitary relationships, which provided additional taxable income sources to utilize CW’s deferred tax assets. CWH’s increased ownership in CWGS, LLC and other qualitative unity factors impacted the unitary relationships. The impact of these changes in deferred tax assets on income tax expense in 2022 and 2021 was partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense due to lower income generated during 2022.

By providing these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. In addition, our Senior Secured Credit Facilities use Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated for our subsidiary CWGS Group, LLC, to measure our compliance with covenants such as the consolidated leverage ratio. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

As discussed under “Our Corporate Structure Impact on Income Taxes” in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K, our “Up-C” corporate structure may make it difficult to compare our results with those of companies with a more traditional corporate structure. There can be a significant fluctuation in the numerator and denominator for the calculation of our adjusted earnings per share – diluted depending on if the common units in CWGS, LLC are considered dilutive or anti-dilutive for a given period. To improve comparability of our financial results, users of our financial statements may find it useful to review our earnings per share assuming the full redemption of common units in CWGS, LLC for all periods, even when those common units would be anti-dilutive. The relevant numerator and denominator adjustments have been provided under “Anti-dilutive amounts” in the table above (see (p) above).

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital have been working capital, inventory management, acquiring and building new store locations, the improvement and expansion of existing store locations, debt service, distributions to holders of equity interests in CWGS, LLC and our Class A common stock, and general corporate needs. These cash requirements have historically been met through cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from registered offerings of our Class A common stock, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K), borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility (as defined in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K), and borrowings under our Real Estate Facilities (as defined in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K).

The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their common units remain outstanding.

In October 2020, our Board of Directors initially authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our Class A common stock, expiring on October 31, 2022. In August 2021 and January 2022, our Board of Directors authorized increases to the stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an additional $125.0 million and $152.7 million, respectively, of our Class A common stock. Following these extensions, the stock repurchase program now expires on December 31, 2025. Repurchases under the program are subject to any applicable limitations on the availability of funds to be distributed to the Company by CWGS, LLC to fund the repurchase and may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at our discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of our shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Board’s discretion. We expect to fund the repurchases using cash on hand.

On May 24, 2023, in conjunction with the announcement of the declaration of the second quarter 2023 dividend to holders of Class A common stock, we announced that we had initiated an analysis of our capital allocation strategy as part of our commitment to driving long-term growth and maintaining a competitive dividend. After completing the capital allocation strategy analysis during July 2023, we announced on August 1, 2023, that the Board of Directors approved a decrease of the quarterly cash dividend to $0.125 per share of Class A common stock from $0.625 per share, beginning with the quarterly cash dividend to be paid in September 2023. The quarterly cash dividends paid in September and December of 2023 were funded entirely from the Excess Tax Distribution (as defined under “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of this Form 10-K), with no portion funded by common unit cash distributions from CWGS, LLC. We believe that this decrease in the quarterly cash dividend will help us utilize that capital to continue to execute our expansion plans through accretive RV dealership acquisitions.
Current wording
Since December 2016, we have paid a quarterly cash dividend to holders of Class A common stock. Since September 2023, the quarterly cash dividend has been $0.125 per share of Class A common stock that was funded entirely from the Excess Tax Distribution (as defined under “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of this Form 10-K), with no portion funded by other common unit cash distributions from CWGS, LLC. Since CWGS, LLC has not funded these recent quarterly cash dividends with dividend distributions outside of required tax distributions, we believe that this will help us utilize our capital to continue to execute our expansion plans through accretive RV dealership acquisitions.
Previous wording
For each of the quarters from the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2023, we paid a quarterly cash dividend on our Class A common stock of $0.625 per share, which was funded with a $0.15 per common unit cash distribution from CWGS, LLC and the remaining $0.475 per share of Class A common stock funded with all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution.
Current wording
During the first half of 2023, we paid a quarterly cash dividend on our Class A common stock of $0.625 per share, which was funded with a $0.15 per common unit cash distribution from CWGS, LLC and the remaining $0.475 per share of Class A common stock funded with all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution.

Our ability to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock depends on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, restrictions in our debt agreements and in any preferred stock, restrictions under applicable law, the extent to which such distributions would render CWGS, LLC insolvent, our business prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations particularly with respect to liquidity, and we may not pay future dividends according to our policy, or at all.

Over the next twelve months, our expansion of dealerships through acquisition and construction is expected to cost between $71.5 million and $114.9 million from a combination of business acquisitions and capital expenditures relating to land, buildings, and improvements. Included in this range is $71.5 million related to business acquisitions where, at a minimum, we have already signed a letter of intent with the seller. These cost estimates exclude amounts for acquired inventories, which are primarily financed through our Floor Plan Facility. Additionally, the cost estimates do not consider potential funding received through sale leaseback transactions or other means for real estate and construction activities. We are in the early stages of evaluating additional dealership acquisition opportunities and will update our cost estimates in future periodic reports, if necessary, as there are further developments. Factors that could impact the quantity of future locations or the cost to acquire or open those locations include, but are not limited to, our ability to locate potential acquisition targets or greenfield locations in a geographic area and at a cost that meets our success criteria; continued strong cash flow generation from our operations to fund these acquisitions and new locations; and availability of financing on our Floor Plan Facility. We expect the additional cash requirements of the other announced initiatives to be immaterial.
