Factory-built housing Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025 due primarily to the addition of American Homestar, which added $6.9 million of incremental expense, as well as acquisition related deal costs of $2.9 million. For the nine months ended December 27, 2025, in addition to the above items, the increase is also due to higher incentive based compensation from higher earnings compared to the prior year period, as well as an additional $1.5 million in deal costs during that period. Total deal costs in the nine months ended December 27, 2025 was $4.4 million.

Previous wording
Key housing building materials include wood, wood products, steel, gypsum wallboard, windows, doors fiberglass insulation, carpet, vinyl, fasteners, plumbing materials, aluminum, appliances and electrical items. Fluctuations in the cost of materials and labor may affect gross margins from home sales to the extent that an increase in costs cannot be efficiently matched to the home sales price. Pricing and availability of certain raw materials have been volatile due to a number of factors in the current environment. We continue to monitor and react to inflation in the cost of these materials by maintaining a focus on our product pricing in response to higher materials costs, but such product pricing increases may lag behind the escalation of such costs. From time to time and to varying degrees, we may experience shortages in the availability of materials and/or labor in the markets served. Availability of these inputs has not caused significant production halts in the current period, but we have experienced periodic shutdowns in other periods and shortages of primary building materials have caused production inefficiencies as we have needed to change processes in response to the delay in materials. These shortages may also result in extended order backlogs, delays in the delivery of homes and reduced gross margins from home sales.

We believe that cash and cash equivalents at September 27, 2025, together with cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations, cover our obligations, provide for our planned acquisition of American Homestar and provide for growth for the next 12 months and into the foreseeable future. We maintain cash in U.S. Treasury and other money market funds, some of which is in excess of federally insured limits, but we have not experienced any losses with regards to such excesses. We expect to continue to evaluate potential acquisitions of, or strategic investments in, businesses that are complementary to the Company, as well as other expansion opportunities. Such transactions may require the use of cash and have other impacts on our liquidity and capital resources. We believe we have sufficient liquid resources including our $75 million Revolving Credit Facility, which may be increased from time to time through additional term facilities by up to an aggregate amount of $75 million up to $150 million. No amounts are currently outstanding. Depending on our operating results and strategic opportunities, we may choose to seek additional or alternative sources of financing in the future. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. If this financing were not available, it could be necessary for us to reevaluate our long-term operating plans to make more efficient use of our existing capital resources at such time. The exact nature of any changes to our plans that would be considered depends on various factors, such as conditions in the factory-built housing industry and general economic conditions outside of our control.
