“I am pleased to report that the first quarter of fiscal 2022 continued the strong sequential momentum we saw from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, as we were able to increase production for our customers and drive unit volume growth,” said Mark Yost, Skyline Champion’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter we saw improved production levels, a full quarter’s benefit from our ScotBilt acquisition, and operational improvements that were able to offset the margin deterioration from material inflation, leading to impressive quarterly results. Overall, our team is executing our strategy at a high level and, as a result, we are gaining strength in a very healthy demand environment. As we continue to enhance output capabilities through our strategic initiatives, I am increasingly confident in our ability to produce results and drive value for all of our stakeholders.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

Net sales for the first quarter fiscal 2022 increased 86.7% to $510.2 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. factory-built homes sold in the first quarter fiscal 2022 increased 58.2% to 6,372 compared to the prior year first quarter, as a result of strong demand and increased production levels. The ASP per U.S. home sold increased 16.2% to $71,800 due to price increases in response to rising material costs. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter increased to 385 homes compared to 192 homes in the prior-year period due to stronger demand and improved production levels. Total backlog for Skyline Champion was $1.2 billion as of July 3, 2021 compared to $192.1 million as of June 27, 2020. Backlog growth was driven by strong order levels that continue to outpace production due to supply chain availability, increased pricing and the acquisition of ScotBilt Homes, LLC and related companies.

Gross profit increased by 106.5% to $111.5 million in the first quarter fiscal 2022 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 21.9% of net sales, a 210 basis point expansion compared to 19.8% in the first quarter fiscal 2021. The increase in the gross profit margin was driven by higher sales growth due to higher volume and operating efficiencies that were able to offset the margin erosion from material inflation.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the first quarter fiscal 2022 increased to $54.0 million from $40.8 million in the same period last year. Improved production levels and fixed cost leverage was more than offset by higher variable compensation and investment in the enhanced customer buying experience.

Net income for the first quarter fiscal 2022 was $42.9 million, a significant improvement compared to net income of $11.9 million during the same period of the prior year. The increase in net income was mainly driven by the increase in sales and gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter fiscal 2022 increased by 178.2% to $62.7 million compared to the first quarter fiscal 2021, primarily driven by an increase in net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 410 basis points to 12.3% due to higher sales growth, operational improvements, and leverage of fixed costs.

As of July 3, 2021, Skyline Champion had $287.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. On July 7, 2021, Skyline Champion entered into a new credit facility that enhances capacity for strategic initiatives and opportunistic acquisitions.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) throughout this press release, Skyline Champion has provided non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. Skyline Champion uses these non-GAAP financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors. Skyline Champion believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that Skyline Champion believes are not representative of its core business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of Skyline Champion’s financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Skyline Champion defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss plus (a) the provision for income taxes, (b) interest expense, net, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) gain or loss from discontinued operations, (e) equity-based compensation awards granted before December 31, 2018, (f) restructuring charges, (g) impairment of assets, and (h) other non-operating costs including those for the acquisition and integration of businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of earnings calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net sales, operating income or earnings per share prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis. Skyline Champion believes that Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors to evaluate its performance and that of its competitors. However, Skyline Champion’s use of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in its industry. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled from the respective measure under U.S. GAAP in the tables below. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales reported in the statement of operations.
