“I am proud of the continued commitment that our team has demonstrated throughout this period as they work hard to execute our strategy and deliver homes to our customers. Our actions to manage costs and leverage our variable cost structure allowed us to generate strong margins, profitability, and cash flow despite the softening of demand and volume due to the impact of the pandemic on our operations,” said Mark Yost, Skyline Champion’s Chief Executive Officer. “We have seen strong order levels in recent weeks and are encouraged by the overall strength in housing demand. In addition, we continue to invest in our product and digital offerings that will drive more business for our partners. While uncertainty remains, we believe we are well positioned to manage through this environment and participate in the recovery as our production levels continue to ramp up and our team remains highly focused on serving our customers.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results

Net sales for the first quarter fiscal 2021 decreased 26.5% to $273.3 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. factory-built homes sold in the first quarter fiscal 2021 decreased 26.1% to 4,028 compared to the prior year first quarter, as a result of reduced demand and production levels resulting from the initial reaction and response to COVID-19. The average selling price (“ASP”) per U.S. home sold increased 1.5% to $61,800. ASP increased primarily due to a shift in sales mix. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter declined to 192 homes compared to 285 homes in the prior-year period primarily resulting from oil-related demand drivers and the impacts of COVID-19. Total backlog for Skyline Champion was $192.1 million as of June 27, 2020 compared to $153.0 million as of June 29, 2019. Backlogs increased $64.6 million during the quarter compared to $10.3 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2020 driven by strong order levels that have outpaced production levels. Production levels have gradually increased to more normalized levels since the temporary idling of several production facilities in the last weeks of March 2020, however have been tempered by social distancing protocols and labor constraints.

Gross profit decreased by 29.0% to $54.0 million in the first quarter fiscal 2021 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit was 19.8% of net sales, a 60-basis point reduction compared to 20.4% in the first quarter fiscal 2020. Gross profit compression was due to the reduction in net sales as well as the cost of additional benefits offered to employees in response to COVID-19.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the first quarter fiscal 2021 decreased to $40.8 million from $51.7 million in the same period last year due to a reduction in variable incentive compensation, a decrease in non-essential spending such as travel and trade shows, as well as lower wages from headcount reductions and furloughs.

Net income for the first quarter fiscal 2021 was $11.9 million, compared to net income of $17.4 million during the same period of the prior year. The decrease in net income was mainly driven by the decline in sales and gross profit, which was partially offset by the reductions in SG&A. Skyline Champion also had an increase in other income of $4.2 million related to government sponsored wage subsidy programs enacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in both Canada and the United States.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter fiscal 2021 decreased by 29.7% to $22.5 million compared to the first quarter fiscal 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by lower sales volumes and reduced gross profit. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 40 basis points to 8.2%.

As of June 27, 2020, Skyline Champion had $236.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $209.5 million at the end of the prior quarter.

About Skyline Champion Corporation:

Skyline Champion Corporation (NYSE: SKY) was formed on June 1, 2018 as the result of the combination of Skyline Corporation (“Skyline”) and the operating assets of Champion Enterprises Holdings, LLC (“Champion”). The combined company employs approximately 6,600 people and is the largest independent, publicly traded, factory-built housing company in North America. With almost 70 years of homebuilding experience and 38 manufacturing facilities throughout the United States and western Canada, Skyline Champion is well positioned with a leading portfolio of manufactured and modular homes, ADUs, park-models and modular buildings for the multi-family, hospitality, senior and workforce housing sectors.

In addition to its core home building business, Skyline Champion operates a factory-direct retail business, Titan Factory Direct, with 21 retail locations spanning the southern United States, and Star Fleet Trucking, providing transportation services to the manufactured housing and other industries from several dispatch locations across the United States.

Skyline Champion builds homes under some of the most well known brand names in the factory-built housing industry including Skyline Homes, Champion Home Builders, Genesis Homes, Athens Park Models, Dutch Housing, Excel Homes, Homes of Merit, New Era, Redman Homes, Shore Park, Silvercrest, Titan Homes in the U.S., and Moduline and SRI Homes in western Canada.

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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (including dilutive securities, if any)—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) foreign currency gains and losses, (f) equity-based compensation awards granted before December 31, 2018, (g) restructuring charges, (h) impairment of assets, and (i) 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 our 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. Adjusted EPS is calculated as net income or loss plus (a) equity-based compensation awards granted before December 31, 2018, (b) restructuring charges, (c) impairment of assets, and (d) other non-operating costs including those for the acquisition and integration of businesses, including the related tax effect, if any, on these items.
