Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncement Recently- To Be Adopted

In December 2019,September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04 “Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations”. The standard simplifiesamendments in this ASU require that a company that uses a supplier finance program in connection with the accountingpurchase of goods or services disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. ASU 2022-04 is effective for income taxes by removing certain exceptionsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We expect to the general principles in ASC 740 such as recognizing deferred taxes for equity investments, the incremental approach to performing intra-period tax allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The standard also simplifies accounting for income taxes under U.S. GAAP by clarifying and amending existing guidance, including the recognition of deferred taxes for goodwill, the allocation of taxes to members of a consolidated group and requiring that an entity reflect the effect of enacted changes in tax laws or ratesadopt ASU 2022-04 in the annual effective tax rate computation infirst quarter of fiscal year 2024 and are currently evaluating the interim period that includes the enactment date. The Company adoptedimpact of ASU 2019-12 as of November 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s2022-04 to our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized from contracts with customers with product shipment destinations in the United States and Canada. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights and payment terms of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company determines the transaction price for each contract at inception based on the consideration that it expects to receive for the goods and services promised under the contract. The transaction price excludes sales and usage-based taxes collected and certain “pass-through” amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company has elected to expense incremental costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period of the related asset is expected to be less than one year.

7


The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated from the manufacture and sale of specialty vehicles through its direct sales force or dealer network. The Company also generates revenue through separate contracts that relate to the sale of aftermarketafter-market parts and services. Revenue is typically recognized at a point-in-time, when control is transferred, which generally occurs when the product has been shipped to the customer or when it has been picked-uppicked up from the Company’s manufacturing facilities. Shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control are fulfillment costs that are recorded in “CostCost of Sales”sales in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income when incurred or when the related product revenue is recognized, whichever is earlier. Periodically, certain customers may request bill and hold transactions.bill-and-hold transactions according to the terms in the contract. In such cases, revenue is not recognized until after control has transferred which is generally when the customer has requested such transaction and has been notified that the product (i) has been completed according to customer specifications, (ii) has passed our quality control inspections, and (iii) has been separated from our inventory, and(iv) is ready for physical transfer to the customer, and (v) when the Company cannot use the product or redirect the product to another customer. Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the unit’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract.

7


Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

The Company is generally entitled to bill its customers upon satisfaction of its performance obligations, and payment is usually received shortly after billing. Payments for certain contracts are received in advance of satisfying the related performance obligations. Such payments are recorded as customerCustomer advances in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance SheetsSheets. The Company reduces the contract liabilities when received.the Company transfers control of the promised good or service. During the three months ended July 31, 20222023, and July 31, 2021,2022, the Company recognized $39.926.8 million and $32.439.9 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the customer advance balances of $210.6332.8 million and $170.1210.6 million as of October 31, 20212022 and October 31, 2020,2021, respectively. During the nine months ended July 31, 20222023, and July 31, 2021,2022, the Company recognized $97.7109.0 million and $117.597.7 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the customer advance balances of $210.6332.8 million and $170.1210.6 million as of October 31, 20212022 and October 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The Company’s payment terms do not include a significant financing component outside of the Fire & Emergency ("F&E") segment. Within the F&E segment, customers earn interest on customer advances at a rate determined at contract inception. The Company incurred interest charges on customer advances during the three months ended July 31, 2023, and July 31, 2022 of $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company incurred interest charges on customer advances during the nine months ended July 31, 2023, and July 31, 2022 of $6.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The interest charges were recorded in Interest expense in the Condensed Unaudited Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company does not have significant contract assets.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of July 31, 2023, the Company had unsatisfied performance obligations for non-cancelable contracts with an original duration greater than one year totaling $3,004.2 million, of which $1,277.1 million is expected to be satisfied and recognized in revenue in the next twelve months and $1,727.1 million is expected to be satisfied and recognized in revenue thereafter.

Note 3. Leases

The Company leases certain administrative and production facilities and equipment under long-term, non-cancelable operating lease agreements. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception and recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability based on the present value of fixed, and certain index-based lease payments at the lease commencement date. Variable payments are excluded from the present value of lease payments and are recognized in the period in which the payment is made. Lease agreements may include options to extend or terminate the lease or purchase the underlying asset. In situations where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options, they are considered in determining the lease term and the associated option payments, or exercise price in the case of an option to purchase, are included in the measurement of the lease liabilities and ROU assets. The Company’s leases generally do not include restrictive financial or other covenants, or residual value guarantees. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for measuring its lease liabilities, as the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to certain lessor specific information. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not have significant finance leases.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recognized total operating lease costs resulting from fixed lease payments of $2.8 million and $8.1 million, respectively. During the same period, the Company paid cash of $2.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively, for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recognized total operating lease costs resulting from fixed lease payments of $2.22.4 million and $6.47.1 million, respectively, andrespectively. During the same period, the Company paid cash of $2.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively, for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities. During the three and nine months ended

As of July 31, 2021, the Company recognized total operating lease costs of $2.4 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and paid cash of $2.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities.

There was no change in the net carrying value of goodwill for the three and nine months ended July 31, 20222023 and July 31, 2021.

During the quarter ended July 31, 2022, management identified a triggering event related to a reporting unit within the Fire & Emergency, (“F&E”), segment. This triggering event was a result of lower operating results compared to forecast, which were primarily driven by uncertainty surrounding the supply of critical components and labor. Accordingly, we performed an interim quantitative goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test on that reporting unit and concluded no impairment existed as of the test date. In addition, there have been no subsequent indicators of impairment as of July 31, 2022.

2021 ABL Facility

On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into a $550.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “2021 ABL“ABL Facility” or “2021 ABL“ABL Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 ABL Facility provides for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million. The total credit facility is subject to a $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35.0 million sublimit for letters of credit (plus up to an additional $20.0 million of letters of credit at issuing bank’s discretion), along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the 2021 ABL Agreement. The 2021 ABL Agreement allows for incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, plus the excess, if any, of the borrowing base then in effect over total commitments then in effect. Any such incremental facilities are subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions. The debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with the 2021 ABL Facility less accumulated amortization are included in otherOther long-term assets in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On November 1, 2022, the Company amended the ABL Facility to transition from the Eurodollar based benchmark rates to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The transition from the Eurodollar rate to SOFR did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

The 2021 ABL Facility matures on April 13, 2026. The Company may prepay the principal, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.

All revolving loans under the 2021 ABL Facility, as amended, bear interest at rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin, or a EurodollarSOFR rate plus an applicable margin. Applicablemargin and credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for all interest periods. As of July 31, 2023, the interest rate margins are initially 00.75.75% for all base rate loans and 1.75% for all EurodollarSOFR rate loans (with the EurodollarSOFR rate having a floor of 0.250.0%), subject to adjustment based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio in accordance with the 2021 ABL Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly for all base rate loans and is payable on the last day of any interest period or every three months for all EurodollarSOFR rate loans. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the 2021 ABL Facility was 4.007.00% as of July 31, 2022.2023. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the 2021 ABL Facility was 1.755.51% as of October 31, 2021.2022.

The lenders under the 2021 ABL Facility have a first priority security interest in substantially all personal property assets and certain real property assets of the Company. The 2021 ABL Facility’s borrowing base is comprised of eligible receivables and eligible inventory, plus a fixed asset sublimit of certain eligible real property and eligible equipment, which fixed asset sublimit reduces by quarterly amortization as specified in the 2021 ABL Agreement.

The 2021 ABL Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, subject in certain cases to customary limitations, exceptions and exclusions. The 2021 ABL Agreement also contains certain customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default under the 2021 ABL Agreement could result in the termination of the commitments under the 2021 ABL Facility and the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under it. The 2021 ABL Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 during certain compliance periods as specified in the 2021 ABL Agreement.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2021 ABL Agreement as of July 31, 2022.2023. As of July 31, 2023, the Company’s availability under the ABL Facility was $355.9 million. As of October 31, 2022, the Company’s availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $287.1 million. As of October 31, 2021, the Company’s availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $290.0307.7 million.

The fair value of the 2021 ABL Facility approximated the book value on July 31, 20222023 and October 31, 2021.2022.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.outstanding, which excludes shares of issued but unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income, if applicable, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution. The difference between basic EPS and diluted EPS is the result of the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, performance stock units and restricted stock units and awards. The reconciliation of basic weighted-average shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding was as follows:

The Company periodically evaluates its valuation allowance requirements as facts and circumstances change and may adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances accordingly. It is reasonably possible that the Company will either add to or reverse a portion of its existing deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future. Such changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances will be reflected in the current operations through the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $4.25.7 million as of July 31, 20222023 and $4.04.3 million as of October 31, 2021.2022. The unrecognized tax benefits are presented in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 31, 2022 and the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 31, 2021.2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in its Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from examinations to determine the adequacy of its tax reserves. As of July 31, 2022,2023, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax positions it has taken will be sustained upon the resolution of its audits resulting in no material impact on its consolidated financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. However, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from the Company’s estimates and/or from its historical income tax provisions and income tax liabilities and could have a material effect on operating results and/or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, and/or interest assessments related to income tax examinations.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Personal Injury Actions and Other: ProductThe Company is, from time to time, party to various legal proceedings, including product and general liability claims, arise against the Company from time to time in thearising out of ordinary course of business. TheseAssessments of legal proceedings can involve complex judgments about future events that may rely on estimates and assumptions. When assessing whether to record a liability related to legal proceedings, the Company adheres to the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 450, Contingencies, and other applicable guidance as necessary, and records liabilities in those instances where it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss and when the loss is probable. When a range exists that is reasonably estimable and the loss is probable, the Company records an accrual in its financial statements equal to the most likely estimate of the loss, or the low end of the range, if there is no one best estimate. Additionally, these claims are generally covered by third-party insurance, which for some insurance policies is subject to a retention for which the Company is responsible. Management, however, believes that any losses will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Market Risks: The Company is contingently liable under bid, performance and specialty bonds issued by the Company’s surety company and has open standby letters of credit issued by the Company’s banks in favor of third parties as follows:

Chassis Contingent Liabilities: The Company obtains certain vehicle chassis from automobile manufacturers under converter pool agreements. These agreements generally provide that the manufacturer will supply chassis at the Company’s various production facilities under the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement. The manufacturer does not transfer the certificate of origin to the Company upon delivery. Accordingly, the chassis are not owned by the Company when delivered, and therefore, are excluded from the Company’s inventory. Upon being put into production, the Company owns the inventory and becomes obligated to pay the manufacturer for the chassis. Chassis are typically placed into production within 90 to 120 days of delivery to the Company. If the chassis are not placed into production within this timeframe, the Company generally purchases the chassis and records inventory, or the Company is obligated to begin paying an interest charge on this inventory until purchased. Such agreements are customary in the industries in which the Company operates and the Company’s exposure to loss under such agreements is limited by the value of the vehicle chassis that would be resold to mitigate any losses. The Company’s contingent liability under such agreements was $5.424.1 million and $13.911.9 million as of July 31, 20222023 and October 31, 2021,2022, respectively.

Repurchase Commitments: The Company has repurchase agreements with certain lending institutions. The repurchase commitments are on an individual unit basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through payment date by the dealer or other customer, generally not exceeding two years. The Company also repurchases inventory from dealers from time to time due to state law or regulatory requirements that require manufacturers to repurchase inventory if a dealership exits the business. The Company’s maximum contingent liability under such agreements was $242.0434.1 million and $185.8333.8 million as of July 31, 2022,2023, and October 31, 2021,2022, respectively, which represents the gross value of all vehicles under repurchase agreements. Such agreements are customary in the industries in which the Company operates and the Company’s exposure to loss under such agreements is limited by the resale value of the units which isare required to be repurchased. Losses incurred under such arrangements have not been significant and the Company expects this pattern to continue.significant. The reserve for losses included in other liabilities on contracts outstanding as of July 31, 20222023 and October 31, 2021 is2022 are immaterial.

1413


Guarantee Arrangements: The Company is party to multiple agreements whereby it guaranteesguaranteed an aggregate of $28.0 million and $33.7 million at July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively, of indebtedness of others, including losses under loss pool agreements. The Company estimated that its maximum loss exposure under these contracts was $9.95.9 million and $14.88.7 million atas of July 31, 20222023 and October 31, 2021,2022, respectively. Under the terms of these and various related agreements and upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company generally has the ability to, among other things, take possession of the underlying collateral. While the Company does not expect to experience losses under these agreements that are materially in excess of the amounts reserved, it cannot provide any assurance that the financial condition of the third parties will not deteriorate resulting in the third party’s inability to meet their obligations. Additionally, the Company cannot guarantee that the collateral underlying the agreements will be available or sufficient to avoid losses materially in excess of the amount reserved.

Other Matters:

Krystal Bus: In January 2023, the Company agreed, in principle, to settle a claim brought by a plaintiff who was injured as a passenger in an accident involving a shuttle bus that was manufactured by Krystal Bus prior to the Company’s acquisition of certain assets related to that business. The Company is, from timedid not admit to time, party to various legal proceedings arising out of ordinary course of business. The amount of allegedany liability if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty; however,on the Company believes that its ultimate liability, if any, arising from pending legal proceedings, as well as from asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims, which are probable of assertion, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities, should not be material to the business, financial condition or results of operations.

A consolidated federal putative securities class action and a consolidated state putative securities class action that had been pending against the Company and certain of its officers and directors have each been settled. These actions collectively purported to assert claims on behalf of putative classes of purchasersmerits of the Company’s common stock in or traceableclaim but deemed a settlement to its January 2017 IPO, purchasersbe in its secondary offering of common stock in October 2017,best interest based on the facts and purchasers from October 10, 2017 through June 7, 2018. The state action also named certaincircumstances of the underwriters for the Company’s IPO or secondary offeringclaim, as defendants. The federal and state courts each consolidated multiple separate actions pending before them, the first of which was filed on June 8, 2018. The actions alleged certain violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and, for the federal action, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Collectively, the actions sought certification of the putative classes asserted and compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The consolidated state action was stayedthey developed in favor of the consolidated federal action. On May 19, 2021, the parties to the consolidated federal and state putative securities class actions executed a stipulation of settlement for a class settlement with the court and moved for preliminary approval of the settlement. The settlement payment is being fully covered by the Company’s insurers. The settlement payment and the related insurance proceeds were recorded in other current liabilities and other current assets, respectively, in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 31, 2021. On August 24, 2021, the court preliminarily approved the settlement. Notice was then given to the classes certified for settlement, and the court entered a final judgment approving the settlement on December 9, 2021. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022,2023. The settlement agreement provided for a one-time cash payment of $11.5 million, which was disbursed by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The Company is also involved in additional lawsuits filed by plaintiffs who were passengers on the shuttle bus that was in the same accident. The Company has agreed to settle all of these additional claims and has recorded a loss of $2.2 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2023, as related to these additional claims. The losses associated with the collective group of claims are included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s insurers madeCondensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the final settlement payment. Asthree and nine months ended July 31, 2023. The related liability is included in Other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Balance Sheets as of July 31, 2022, there are no further amounts recorded2023. The Company is in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Two purported derivative actions, which have since been consolidated, were also filed in 2019 against the Company’s directors (with the Company as a nominal defendant), premised on allegations similar to those asserted in the consolidated federal securities litigation. The parties to the consolidated derivative actions reached a settlement in principle on all issues other than plaintiffs’ counsel’s attorneys’ fees on or about February 17, 2021, and an agreement with respect to plaintiffs’ counsel’s attorneys’ fees on or about November 3, 2021. The plaintiffs filed a stipulationprocess of settlement for the derivative actions with the court and moved for preliminary approvalseeking potential reimbursement of the settlement on January 14, 2022. The motionpayments and for preliminary approvalany potential future settlements or losses related to the other claims from the Company’s insurers; however, the relevant insurers have so far disputed the insurance claims. Accordingly, no loss recovery asset has been recorded as of the derivative settlement remains pending.July 31, 2023.

In considering the financial performance of the business, the chief operating decision maker analyzes the primary financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss for the relevant period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income taxes and loss on early extinguishment of debt, as adjusted for items management believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by U.S. GAAP but is computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of this performance measure to net lossincome is included below.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and used by management for measuring profitability because the measure excludes the impact of certain items which management believes have less bearing on the Company’s core operating performance, and allows for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within its industries by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to measure and report the Company’s financial performance to the Company’s Board of Directors, assists in providing a meaningful analysis of the Company’s operating performance and is used as a measurement in incentive compensation for management.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and risk factors contained in this Form 10-Q as well as the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Risk Factors and audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on December 15, 2021.14, 2022.

Overview

REV Group companies are leading designers, manufacturers and distributors of specialty vehicles and related aftermarket parts and services. We serve a diversified customer base, primarily in the United States, through three segments: Fire and Emergency (“F&E”), Commercial, and Recreation. We provide customized vehicle solutions for applications, including essential needs for public services (ambulances, fire apparatus, school buses, and transit buses), commercial infrastructure (terminal trucks and industrial sweepers) and consumer leisure (recreational vehicles). Our diverse portfolio is made up of well-established principal vehicle brands, including many of the most recognizable names within their industry. Several of our brands pioneered their specialty vehicle product categories and date back more than 50 years. We believe that we hold the first, second and third market share positions, and approximately 89% of our net sales during the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 came from products where we believe we hold such share position.

Segments

We serve a diversified customer base primarily in the United States and Canada through the following segments:

Fire & Emergency – The F&E segment sells and distributes fire apparatus equipment under the Emergency One (“E-ONE”), Kovatch Mobile Equipment (“KME”), Ferrara, and Spartan Emergency Response (“Spartan ER”), which consists of Spartan Emergency Response, Smeal, Spartan Fire Chassis, and Ladder Tower brands, and ambulances under the American Emergency Vehicles (“AEV”), Horton Emergency Vehicles (“Horton”), Leader Emergency Vehicles (“Leader”), Road Rescue and Wheeled Coach brands. We believe we are the largest manufacturer by unit volume of fire and emergency vehicles in the United States and have one of the industry’s broadest portfolios of products including Type I ambulances (aluminum body mounted on a heavy truck-style chassis), Type II ambulances (van conversion ambulance), Type III ambulances (aluminum body mounted on a van-style chassis), pumpers (fire apparatus on a custom or commercial chassis with a water pump and water tank to extinguish fires), ladder trucks (fire apparatus with stainless steel or aluminum ladders), tanker trucks and rescue, aircraft rescue firefighting (“ARFF”), custom cabs & chassis and other vehicles. Each of our individual brands is distinctly positioned and targets certain price and feature points in the market such that dealers often carry, and customers often buy more than one REV F&EFire & Emergency product line.

Commercial – Our Commercial segment serves the bus market through the Collins Bus, Magellan and ENC brands. We serve the terminal truck market through the Capacity brand and the sweeper market through the LayMor brand. Our products in the Commercial segment include transit buses (large municipal buses where we build our own chassis and body), Type A school buses (small school bus built on commercial chassis), sweepers (three- and four-wheel versions used in road construction activities), and terminal trucks (specialized vehicles which move freight in warehouses, intermodal yards, distribution and fulfillment centers and ports). Within each market, we produce many customized configurations to address the diverse needs of our customers.

Recreation – Our Recreation segment serves the RV market through the following principal brands: American Coach, Fleetwood RV, Holiday Rambler, Renegade RV, Midwest Automotive Designs and Lance. We believe our brand portfolio contains some of the longest standing, most recognized brands in the RV industry. Under these brands, REV provides a variety of highly recognized motorized and towable RV models such as: American Eagle, Bounder, Pace Arrow, Discovery LXE, Renegade Verona, Weekender and Lance,Renegade XL, among others. Our products in the Recreation segment include Class A motorized RVs (motorhomes built on a heavy-duty chassis with either diesel or gas engine configurations), Class C and “Super C” motorized RVs (motorhomes built on a commercial truck or van chassis), Class B RVs (motorhomes built out within a van chassis and high-end luxury van conversions), and towable travel trailers and truck campers. The Recreation segment also includes Goldshield Fiberglass, which produces a wide range of custom molded fiberglass products for the heavy-duty truck, RV and broader industrial markets.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

The primary factors affecting our results of operations include:

General Economic Conditions

Our business is impacted by the U.S. economic environment, inflationary pressures, employment levels, consumer confidence, municipal spending, municipal tax receipts, changes in interest rates, and instability in securities markets around the world, among other factors. In particular, changes in the U.S. economic climate can impact demand in key end markets. In addition, we are susceptible to supply chain disruptions resulting from the impact of tariffs and global macro-economic factors, (refer to ��Impact of COVID-19” section below), which can have a dramatic effect, either directly or indirectly, on the availability, lead-times and costs associated with raw materials and parts.

RV purchases are discretionary in nature and therefore sensitive to changes in interest rates, the availability of financing, consumer confidence, unemployment levels, levels of disposable income and changing levels of consumer home equity, among other factors. RV markets are affected by general U.S. and global economic conditions, which create risks that future economic downturns will further reduce consumer demand and negatively impact our sales.

While less economically sensitive than the Recreation segment, the F&EFire & Emergency segment and the Commercial segment are also impacted by the overall economic environment. Local tax revenues are an important source of funding for fire and emergency response departments. Fire and emergency products and buses are typically a larger cost item for municipalities and their service life is relatively long, making the purchase more deferrable, which can result in reduced demand for our products. In addition to commercial demand, local, state and federal tax revenues can be an important source of funding for many of our bus products including Type A school buses and transit buses. Volatility in tax revenues or availability of funds via budgetary appropriation can have a negative impact on the demand for these products.

A decrease in employment levels, consumer confidence or the availability of financing, or other adverse economic events, or the failure of actual demand for our products to meet our estimates, could negatively affect the demand for our products. Any decline in overall customer demand in markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance.

Seasonality

In a typical year, our operating results are impacted by seasonality. Historically, the slowest sales volume quarter has been the first fiscal quarter when the purchasing seasons and production days for vehicles, such as school buses, RVs and sweepers are the lowest due to the colder weather, and the relatively long time until the summer vacation season. Additionally,season, and the fact that the school year is underway with municipalities and school bus contractors utilizing their existing fleets to transport student populations and the holiday plant shutdowns.populations. Sales of our products have typically been higher in the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters (with the fourth fiscal quarter typically being the strongest) due to better weather, the vacation season, buying habits of RV dealers and end-users, timing of government/municipal customer fiscal years, and the beginning of a new school year. Our quarterly results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity are likely to be impacted by these seasonal patterns. Sales and earnings for other vehicles that we produce, such as essential emergency vehicles and commercial bus fleets, are less seasonal, but fluctuations in sales of these vehicles can also be impacted by timing surrounding the fiscal years of municipalities and commercial customers, as well as the timing and amounts of multi-unit orders. We are also impacted by the change in production days in a given quarter. Historically, our first fiscal quarter includes the lowest number of production days.

Impact of Acquisitions

We actively evaluate opportunities to improve and expand our business through targeted acquisitions that are consistent with our strategy. We also may dispose of certain components of our business that no longer fit within our overall strategy. Historically, a significant component of our growth has been through acquisitions of businesses. We typically incur upfront costs as we integrate acquired businesses and implement our operating philosophy at newly acquired companies, including consolidation of supplies and materials, purchases, improvements to production processes, and other restructuring initiatives. The benefits of these integration efforts and divestiture activities may not positively impact our financial results until subsequent periods.

We recognize acquired assets and liabilities at fair value. This includes the recognition of identified intangible assets and goodwill which, in the case of definite-life intangible assets, are then amortized over their expected useful lives, which typically results in an increase in amortization expense. In addition, assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally include tangible assets as well as contingent assets and liabilities.

1918


Impact of COVID-19

During our second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the novel coronavirus known as "COVID-19" spread throughout the world creating a global pandemic. The pandemic triggered a significant downturn in global commerce and these challenging market conditions may continue for an extended period of time. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, we have also experienced disruption and delays in our supply chain, availability of labor, customer demand changes, and logistics challenges, including our customers’ ability to inspect and take delivery of vehicles.

As the global economy continues to recover from COVID-19 related disruption, labor and significant supply chain challenges, such as shortages in semiconductors, subcomponents and increased prices of raw materials, such as steel and aluminum, have impacted operations of companies on a global scale. Such supply chain disruptions during fiscal year 2022 impacted our ability to obtain certain raw materials and purchased components that are necessary to our production processes, including the ability to obtain chassis from third party suppliers. We continue to monitor these disruptions and take measures to mitigate the associated risks.

In certain geographies there has been a resurgence of COVID-19 variant cases and governmental authorities continue to implement numerous measures in an attempt to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. While the global market impacts, closures and limitations on movement are expected to be temporary, the duration of any demand changes, production and supply chain disruptions, and related financial impacts, cannot be reliably estimated at this time.

Russia-Ukraine War

In late February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. As military activity proceeds and sanctions, export controls and other measures are imposed against Russia, Belarus and specific areas of Ukraine, the war is increasingly affecting the global economy and financial markets, as well as exacerbating ongoing economic challenges, including rising inflation and global supply-chain disruption. Although we do not have direct suppliers based in Russia or Ukraine, additional supply delays and possible shortages of critical components may arise as the conflict progresses and if certain suppliers’ operations and/or subcomponent supply from affected countries are disrupted further. We will continue to monitor and assess the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war on macroeconomic conditions, our suppliers’ ability to deliver products and cybersecurity risks.

Recreation segment net sales increased $41.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022 compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to price realization and favorable mix, partially offset by lower line rates and unit shipments related to supply chain disruption and labor constraints in certain businesses.

Each of our three segments has a backlog of new vehicle orders that generally extends out from ninesix to eighteentwenty-four months in duration.

Orders from our dealers and end customers are evidenced by a contract or a firm purchase order. These orders are reported in our backlog at the aggregate selling prices, net of discounts or allowances. Backlog is comprised of orders that may be canceled, modified or otherwise changed in the future. As a result, backlog may not be indicative of future operating results.

As of July 31, 2022,2023, our backlog was $3,936.7$4,136.8 million compared to $2,698.5$3,936.7 million as of July 31, 2021.2022. The increase in consolidated backlog was primarily due to order intakean increase within the segments,F&E segment, partially offset by decreases within Commercial and lower throughput related to supply chain disruptions and labor constraints in certain businesses.Recreation segments. The increase in F&E segment backlog was primarily the result of increased orderscontinued demand and strong order intake for fire apparatus and ambulance units, and pricing actions, and lower shipments.partially offset by increased unit production against backlog.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, the improvement and expansion of existing manufacturing facilities, debt service payments and general corporate needs. Historically, these cash requirements have been met through cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under our ABL credit facility.

We believe that our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, including working capital requirements, dividends, share repurchases and growth strategy for at least twelve months. However, we cannot assure you that cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under the current ABL facility will be sufficient to meet our future needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, and if availability under the current ABL facility is not sufficient due to the size of our borrowing base or other external factors, we may have to obtain additional financing. If additional capital is obtained by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations or may involve higher overall interest rates.

2021 ABL Facility

On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into a $550.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “2021 ABL“ABL Facility” or “2021 ABL“ABL Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 ABL Facility provides for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million. The total credit facility is subject to a $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35.0 million sublimit for letters of credit (plus up to an additional $20.0 million of letters of credit at issuing bank’s discretion), along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the 2021 ABL Agreement. The 2021 ABL Agreement allows for incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, plus the excess, if any, of the borrowing base then in effect over total commitments then in effect. Any such incremental facilities are subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions.

The 2021 ABL Facility matures on April 13, 2026. We may prepay principal, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2021 ABL Agreement as of July 31, 2022.2023. As of July 31, 2022,2023, the Company’s availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $287.1$355.9 million.

Refer to Note 9, Long-Term Debt, of the Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income

In considering the financial performance of the business, management analyzes the primary financial performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net Income for the relevant period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income taxes, and loss on early extinguishment of debt, as adjusted for certain items described below that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net Income, as adjusted for certain items described below that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

24


We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are useful to investors because these performance measures are used by our management and our Board of Directors for measuring and reporting our financial performance and as a measurement in incentive compensation for management. These measures exclude the impact of certain items which we believe have less bearing on our core operating performance because they are items that are not needed or available to our managers in the daily activities of their businesses. We believe that the core operations of our business are those which can be affected by our management in a particular period through their resource allocation decisions that affect the underlying performance of our operations conducted during that period. We also believe that decisions utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income allow for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within our markets by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies.

To determine Adjusted EBITDA, we adjust Net Income for the following items: non-cash depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes loss on early extinguishment of debt and other items as described below. Stock-based compensation expense and sponsor expense reimbursement isare excluded from both Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA because it is an expense which cannot be impacted by our business managers. Stock-based compensation expense also reflects a cost which may obscure trends in our underlying vehicle businesses for a given period, due to the timing and nature of the equity awards. We also adjust for exceptional items, which are determined to be those that in management’s judgment are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance and need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence, and include non-cash items and items settled in cash. In determining whether an event or transaction is exceptional, management considers quantitative as well as qualitative factors such as the frequency or predictability of occurrence.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income have limitations as analytical tools. These are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not measures of financial condition and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or net loss for the period determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is Net Income for the relevant period. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, such measures do not reflect:

our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
the cash requirements to pay our taxes.
