CWH Camping World Holdings Inc

Camping World Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CWH) (the “Company” or “CWH”), America’s Recreation Dealer, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Camping World Holdings, Inc. stated, “Our intentional efforts to drive down invoice pricing and widen the consumer affordability funnel resulted in our new unit sales meaningfully outpacing broader RV industry trends. We drove record new unit market share for January and February. Our same store new vehicle unit volume increased double-digits in the quarter, with momentum continuing through April.”

Matt Wagner, Chief Operating Officer of Camping World Holdings, Inc. commented, “We have been successful in rebalancing our used inventory position and now that market pricing has stabilized, we intend to reinvest in building our stocking levels in a disciplined manner over the coming months. We continue to expect our used business to improve as we move through the balance of the year.”

Mr. Lemonis concluded, “With significant new unit volume momentum and a dominant inventory position, we believe we have laid the groundwork for improving fundamentals going forward. Our team remains laser focused on achieving our unit volume, market share, and earnings growth goals for 2024, while continuing our march to 320 locations by 2028.”

First Quarter-over-Quarter Operating Highlights

• The total number of our store locations was 215 as of March 31, 2024, an increase of 20 store locations from March 31, 2023, or 10.3%, with a net 13 store locations opened during the first quarter.
• Revenue was $1.4 billion for the first quarter, a decrease of $122.9 million, or 8.3%.
• New vehicle revenue was $656.1 million for the first quarter, an increase of $9.3 million, or 1.4%, and new vehicle unit sales were 16,882 units, an increase of 2,970 units, or 21.3%.
• Used vehicle revenue was $337.7 million for the first quarter, a decrease of $107.1 million, or 24.1%, and used vehicle unit sales were 10,694 units, a decrease of 1,738 units, or 14.0%.
• Average selling price of new vehicles declined 16.4% during the first quarter driven primarily by lower cost of 2024 model year travel trailers, discounting of pre-2024 model year new vehicles, and a mix shift towards more affordable travel trailers.
• Average selling price of used vehicles declined 11.7% during the first quarter due to discounting of used vehicles in response to declines in new vehicle prices to maintain used vehicles as a lower cost alternative to new vehicles.
• Same store new vehicle unit sales increased 15.5% for the first quarter and same store used vehicle unit sales decreased 17.3%.
• Products, services and other revenue was $177.9 million, a decline of $29.8 million, or 14.3%, driven largely by a reduction in sales activity resulting from our Active Sports Restructuring and fewer used vehicles sold led to a decline in retail product attachment to vehicle sales.
• Gross profit was $402.4 million, a decrease of $38.6 million, or 8.8%. Total gross margin was 29.5%, a decrease of 16 basis points. These decreases were driven by lower average cost and average selling price of model year 2024 new vehicles, which impacted used vehicles by (i) requiring the reduction in the used vehicle average selling price and (ii) lower used inventory levels from slowed procurement of used vehicles to allow RV owner pricing expectations to adjust as a result of model year 2024 pricing declines.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $371.5 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 1.6%, primarily as a result of additional advertising expenses and professional fees and services, partially offset by reduced employee compensation costs, which was accomplished despite the 10.3% increase in store locations noted above.
• Floor plan interest expense was $27.9 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 34.0%, and other interest expense, net was $36.1 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 16.0%. These increases were primarily as a result of the rise in interest rates and higher principal balances.
• Net loss was $50.8 million for the first quarter of 2024, a change of $55.7 million from net income of $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2023.
• Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock was $(0.51) for the first quarter of 2024 versus diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock of $0.05 for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted loss per share - diluted(1) of Class A common stock was $(0.40) for the first quarter of 2024 versus adjusted earnings per share – diluted(1) of Class A common stock of $0.14 for the first quarter of 2023.
• Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $8.2 million, a decrease of $52.6 million, or 86.5%, primarily due to $38.6 million decrease in gross profit, the $7.1 million increase in floor plan interest and the $5.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses(2).

(1)

Adjusted (loss) earnings per share – diluted and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section later in this press release.

(2)

The $5.7 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses is inclusive of a $1.1 million decrease in equity-based compensation. Equity-based compensation is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA (see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section later in this press release).

Comparison of Certain Trends to Pre-COVID-19 Pandemic Periods

New vehicle gross margins in the first quarter of 2024 were relatively similar to first quarter of 2023 and within the range of gross margins for the pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods presented in the table below. First quarter of 2024 new vehicle gross margins were negatively impacted by clearing out the higher cost pre-2024 model year vehicles to improve the mix of new inventory toward the lower cost 2024 model year vehicles. Additionally, used vehicle gross margins were negatively impacted in the first quarter of 2024 from the discounting necessary to maintain used vehicles as a lower cost alternative for our customers. Beginning primarily in the fourth quarter of 2023, we adjusted our acceptable procurement cost of used vehicles to reflect the lower average market price of RVs that was driven by the lower cost 2024 models. Used vehicle gross margins are expected to improve as we sell through inventory previously procured at higher costs.

The following table presents vehicle gross margin and unit sales mix for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods for the three months ended March 31, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016 (unaudited):

(Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share of Class A common stock (unaudited):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, trailing twelve-month (“TTM”) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted (collectively the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"). We believe that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics we use in our financial and operational decision making. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry and are used by management to evaluate our operating performance, to evaluate the effectiveness of strategic initiatives and for planning purposes. 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. They should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by any items adjusted for in these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In evaluating these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, it is reasonable to expect that certain of these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this section and in the reconciliation tables below help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

Our earnings call on May 2, 2024 may present guidance that includes Adjusted EBITDA. A full reconciliation of the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to its most-directly comparable GAAP metric cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliations.

The Non-GAAP Financial Measures that we use are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define “EBITDA” as net (loss) income before other interest expense, net (excluding floor plan interest expense), provision for income tax benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of certain noncash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, equity-based compensation, (gain) loss and impairment on investments in equity securities, lease termination costs, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the Active Sports Restructuring, and other unusual or one-time items. We define “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share

We define “Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic” as net income (loss) attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, equity-based compensation, loss and impairment on investments in equity securities, other unusual or one-time items, the income tax benefit (expense) effect of these adjustments, and the effect of net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests from these adjustments.

We define “Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted” as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic adjusted for the reallocation of net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests from stock options and restricted stock units, if dilutive, or the assumed redemption, if dilutive, of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for shares of newly-issued Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc.

We define “Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic” as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. - Basic divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. We define “Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted” as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (i) the redemption of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc., if dilutive, and (ii) the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units, if any. We present Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure:

(a)

Represents long-lived asset impairment charges related to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment.

(b)

Represents the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit effect of the above adjustments. This assumption uses effective tax rates between 25.0% and 25.3% for the adjustments for the 2024 and 2023 periods, which represent the estimated tax rates that would apply had the above adjustments been included in the determination of our non-GAAP metric.

(c)

Represents an adjustment to eliminate the gains and losses on disposals and sales of various assets.

(d)

Represents non-cash equity-based compensation expense relating to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.

(e)

Represents loss and impairment on investments in equity securities and interest income relating to any notes receivables with those investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, this amount included a $1.3 million impairment on an equity method investment.

(f)

Represents the adjustment to net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests resulting from the above adjustments that impact the net (loss) income of CWGS, LLC. This adjustment uses the non-controlling interest’s weighted average ownership of CWGS, LLC of 47.1% and 47.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(g)

Represents the reallocation of net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests from the impact of the assumed change in ownership of CWGS, LLC from stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.

(h)

Represents the income tax expense effect of the above adjustment for reallocation of net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests. This assumption uses effective tax rates between 25.0% and 25.3% for the adjustments for 2024 and 2023 periods.

(i)

Represents the impact to the denominator for stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.

(j)

The below amounts have not been considered in our adjusted (loss) earnings per share – diluted amounts as the effect of these items are anti-dilutive.

(k)

Represents the per share impact of the Non-GAAP adjustments to net (loss) income detailed above (see (a) through (h) above).

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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (j) above).
