Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

SeptemberJune 30, 20172020

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Camping World Holdings, Inc. (“CWH”) and its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”), and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).SEC. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been reflected. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20162019 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162019 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 13, 2017.February 28, 2020. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

CWH was formed on March 8, 2016 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the “IPO”)IPO and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of CWGS, Enterprises, LLC (“CWGS, LLC”).LLC. CWGS, LLC was formed in March 2011 when it received, through contribution from its then parent company, all of the membership interests of Affinity Group Holding, LLC and FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC (“FreedomRoads”). The IPO and related reorganization transactions (the “Reorganization Transactions”) that occurred on October 6, 2016 resulted in CWH as the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, with CWH having sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC.LLC (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity). Despite its position as sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, CWH has a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020 and December 31, 2019, CWH owned 34.1%42.3% and 42.0%, respectively, of CWGS, LLC. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial results of CWGS, LLC and reports a non-controlling interest in its condensed consolidated financial statements. As the Reorganization Transactions are considered transactions between entities under common control, the financial statements for the periods prior to the IPO and related Reorganization Transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.

The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within its condensed consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

COVID-19

A novel strain of coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions of the world and resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas. Many affected areas have begun the process of easing restrictions and reopening certain businesses often under new operating guidelines.

In conjunction with the stay-at-home and shelter-in-place restrictions enacted in many areas, the Company saw significant sequential declines in its overall customer traffic levels and its overall revenues from the mid-March to mid-to-late April 2020 timeframe. In the latter part of April, the Company began to see a significant improvement in its online web traffic levels and number of electronic leads, and in early May, the Company began to see improvements in its overall revenue levels. As the stay-at-home restrictions began to ease across certain areas of the country, the Company experienced significant acceleration in its in-store and online traffic and revenue trends in May and June 2020.

In order to offset the initially expected adverse impact of COVID-19 and better align expenses with reduced sales in the middle of March 2020 and early April 2020, the Company temporarily reduced salaries and hours throughout the business, including for its executive officers, and implemented headcount and other cost reductions. Most of these temporary salary reductions ended in May 2020 as the adverse impacts of the pandemic began to decline and the Company increased hours for certain employees and reinstated many positions from the initial headcount reductions as the demand for the Company’s products increased. The Company also negotiated lease payment deferrals with numerous landlords amounting to approximately $14.0 million from 2020 into 2021. As demand for all products accelerated and the Company’s cash position improved, the Company repaid these rent deferrals in full prior to June 30, 2020. The Company has also taken steps to add new private label lines, expand its relationships with smaller recreational (“RV”) manufacturers, and acquire used inventory from distressed sellers to help manage risks in its supply chain.

Throughout the pandemic, the majority of the Company’s RV and Outdoor Retail locations have continued to operate as essential businesses and the Company has continued to operate its e-commerce business. Since March 2020, the Company has implemented preparedness plans to keep its employees and customers safe, which include social distancing, providing employees with face coverings and/or other protective clothing as required, implementing additional cleaning and sanitization routines, and work-from-home directives for a significant portion of the Company’s workforce.

As noted above, CWGS, LLC is a holding company and operates through its subsidiaries. The operations ofCompany has the Company consist of two primary businesses:following 2 reportable segments: (i) ConsumerGood Sam Services and Plans and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. The Company provides consumer services and plans offerings through itsSee Note 18 – Segments Information to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about the Company’s segments.

The Company operates a national network of RV dealerships and service centers as well as a comprehensive e-commerce platform primarily operates in various regions throughoutunder the United StatesCamping World and Gander RV & Outdoors brands, and markets its products and services primarily to RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts. At September 30, 2017,

In 2019, the Company operated 137 Camping Worldmade a strategic decision to refocus its business around its core RV competencies, and on September 3, 2019, the board of directors approved a strategic plan to shift the business away from locations that did not have the ability or where it was not feasible to sell and/or service RVs (the “2019 Strategic Shift”) (see Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment). This resulted in the sale, closure or divestiture of 34 non-RV retail stores and the liquidation of approximately $108 million of non-RV related inventory in 2019.

In connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company has reduced its number of retail store locations to 164 as of which 121June 30, 2020 from 227 as of June 30, 2019. A summary of the retail store openings, closings, divestitures, conversions and number of locations sell new and used RVs, and offer financing, ancillary services, protection plans, and other products forfrom June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2020, are in the RV purchaser and outdoor enthusiasts; two Overton’s locations offering marine and watersports products;  two TheHouse.com locations offering skiing, snowboarding, bicycling, and skateboarding products; and one W82 location offering skiing, snowboarding, and skateboarding products.table below:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, including those uncertainties arising from COVID-19, and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company periodically evaluates estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements and makes changes on a prospective basis when adjustments are necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include certain assumptions related to accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, long lived assets, assets held for sale,long-lived asset impairments, program cancellation reserves, chargebacks, and accruals related to self-insurance programs, estimated tax liabilities, product return reserves, and other liabilities.

Contracts in Transit, Accounts Receivable and Current Expected Credit Losses

Contracts in transit consist of amounts due from non-affiliated financing institutions on retail finance contracts from vehicle sales for the portion of the vehicle sales price financed by the Company’s customers. These retail installment sales contracts are typically funded within ten days of the initial approval of the retail installment sales contract by the third-party lender. Due to increased demand, the Company saw a substantial increase in contracts in transit volume during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in contract volume, coupled with the transition to working from home and additional employment verification procedures performed by lenders, have led to a backlog in contract funding. The Company has not observed any material changes in collectability trends during the period on these contracts.

Accounts receivable are stated at realizable value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which includes a reserve for expected credit losses. Accounts receivable balances due in excess of one year was $8.4 million at June 30, 2020 and $8.6 million at December 31, 2019 which are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of its customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the composition of the accounts receivable aging, historical bad debts, changes in payment patterns, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Relevant risks characteristics include customer size and historical loss patterns. Management has evaluated the expected credit losses related to contracts in transit and determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million was required at June 30, 2020. NaN allowance for doubtful accounts related to contracts in transit was required at December 31, 2019. Management additionally has evaluated the expected credit losses related to accounts receivable and determined that allowances of approximately $3.5 million for uncollectible accounts were required as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015,June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, InventoryInstruments - Credit Losses (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory326) (“ASU 2015-11”2016-13”). This standard requires the use of a forward-looking expected loss impairment model for trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. This standard also requires impairments and recoveries for available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance account and revises certain disclosure requirements. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements, which provides guidance on accounting for credit losses on accrued interest receivable balances and guidance on including recoveries when estimating the allowance. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, which allows entities with an option to elect fair value for certain instruments upon adoption of Topic 326. The amendments in the accounting standard replace the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively and areis effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim and annual periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.2019. The Company adopted the amendments of this ASU as of2016-13 on January 1, 20172020 and the adoption did not materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements or results of operations.statements.

In January 2016,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2016-01”2018-15”).

In November 2016,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force848) (“ASU 2016-18”2020-04”). The amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU do not provide a definition of restricted cash or

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 805)740): ClarifyingSimplifying the Definition of a BusinessAccounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2017-01”2019-12”). This ASU clarifies the definition ofstandard reduces complexity by removing specific exceptions to general principles related to intraperiod tax allocations, ownership changes in foreign investments, and interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. This standard also simplifies accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a business to exclude gross assets acquired (or disposed of)government that have substantially all of their fair value concentratedresult in a single identifiable asset or groupstep up in the tax basis of similar identifiable assets.goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The ASU also updates the definition of the term “output” to be consistent with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 606. The ASUstandard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company early adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 and the adoption did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires a goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The ASU is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be applied prospectively.2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 and the adoption did not materially impact its consolidated financial statementspermits either a retrospective basis or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The FASB has subsequently issued several related ASUs that clarified the implementation guidance for certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, which are effective upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09. This ASU sets forth a five-step model for determining when and how revenue is recognized. Under the model, an entity will be required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this accounting standard update are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. To assess the impact of the ASU, the Company established an internal implementation team to review its current accounting policies and practices, identify all material revenue streams, assess the impact of the ASU on its material revenue streams and identify potential differences with current policies and practices. The Company’s internal implementation team is in the process of performing its initial review of the likely impacts that the application of the amendments in this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The team has identified the Company’s material revenue streams to be the sale of new and used vehicles; the sale of parts, RV accessories, and supplies; the performance of vehicle maintenance and repair services; the arrangement of associated vehicle financing; the sale of insurance and emergency roadside assistance contracts; and the sale of club memberships. The team has continued to review a  sample of associated contracts and other related documents, but currently, has not quantified and estimated impact of changes, if any, to its current revenue recognition policies and practices. The Company’s implementation team is continuing to evaluate the additional disclosure requirements of the ASU, as well as the change, if any, to the Company’s underlying accounting and financial reporting systems and processes necessary to support the recognition and disclosure requirements. The Company expects to identify and implement the necessary changes, if any, during 2017. The Company currently expects to adopt the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018, as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, but will not make a final decision on the adoption method until later in 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The amendments in this ASU relate to the accounting for leasing transactions. This standard requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. In addition, this standard requires both lessees and lessors to disclose certain key information about lease transactions. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of

12


evaluating the impact that adoption will have on its consolidated balance sheet and statement of income. However, the Company expects that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated balance sheet, as currently most of its real estate is leased via operating leases. Adoption of this ASU is required to be done using a modified retrospective transition approach.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendment addresses several specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of thethis ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a contract asset of $5.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively, relating to RV service revenues was included in accounts receivable in the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scopeaccompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Revenues

As of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”).June 30, 2020, the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations primarily relating to multi-year plans for its Good Sam Club, roadside assistance, Coast to Coast memberships, and magazine publication revenue streams. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 require entitiestotal unsatisfied performance obligation for these revenue streams at June 30, 2020 for the periods during which the Company expects to apply modification accounting in Topic 718 only when changes torecognize the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award result in changes to fair value, vesting conditions or the classification of the awardamounts as equity or liability. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively upon adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or results of operations; however, the amount of the impact to equity-based compensation expense will depend on the terms specified in any new changes to the equity-based payment awards, if any.

4. Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment

Restructuring

On September 3, 2019, the board of directors of CWH approved a plan to strategically shift its business away from locations where the Company does not have the ability or where it is not feasible to sell and/or service RVs at a sufficient capacity (the “Outdoor Lifestyle Locations”). Of the Outdoor Lifestyle Locations in the RV and Outdoor Retail segment operating at September 3, 2019, the Company has closed or divested 39

Table of Contents

Outdoor Lifestyle Locations, 3 distribution centers, and 19 specialty retail locations through June 30, 2020. NaN of the floor planaforementioned closed distribution centers was reopened during the three months ended June 2020 and repurposed for online order fulfillment. The Company expects that the remaining limited number of store closures and/or divestitures will be completed by December 31, 2020. As part of the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company evaluated the impact on its supporting infrastructure and operations, which included rationalizing inventory levels and composition, closing certain distribution centers, and realigning other resources. The Company had a reduction of headcount and labor costs for those locations that were closed or divested and the Company incurred material charges associated with the activities contemplated under the 2019 Strategic Shift.

The Company currently estimates the total restructuring costs associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift to be in the range of $78.6 million to $88.6 million. The breakdown of the estimated restructuring costs are as follows:

one-time employee termination benefits of $1.2 million, all of which has been incurred through June 30, 2020;
lease termination costs of $15.0 million to $20.0 million, of which $7.0 million has been incurred through June 30, 2020;
incremental inventory reserve charges of $42.4 million, all of which has been incurred through June 30, 2020; and
other associated costs of $20.0 million to $25.0 million, of which $14.4 million has been incurred through June 30, 2020.

Through June 30, 2020, the Company has incurred $14.4 million of such other associated costs primarily representing labor, lease, and other operating expenses incurred during the post-close wind-down period for the locations related to the 2019 Strategic Shift. The additional amount of $5.6 million to $10.6 million represents similar costs that may be incurred during the last six months of 2020 for locations that continue in a wind-down period, primarily comprised of lease costs accounted for under ASC 842, Leases prior to lease termination. The Company intends to negotiate terminations of these leases where prudent and pursue sublease arrangements for the remaining leases. Lease costs may continue to be incurred after December 31, 2020 on these leases if the Company is unable to terminate the leases under acceptable terms or offset accountthe lease costs through sublease arrangements. The foregoing lease termination cost estimate represents the expected cash payments to terminate certain leases, but does not include the gain or loss from derecognition of $91.1the related operating lease assets and liabilities, which is dependent on the particular leases that will be terminated.

The following table details the costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift (in thousands):

The Company evaluated the requirements of ASC No. 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations relative to the 2019 Strategic Shift and determined that discontinued operations treatment is not applicable. Accordingly, the results of operations of the locations impacted by the 2019 Strategic Shift are reported as part of continuing operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had indicators of impairment of the long-lived assets for certain of its locations. For locations that failed the recoverability test based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flows, the Company estimated the fair value of the locations based on a discounted cash flow analysis. After performing the long-lived asset impairment test for these locations, the Company determined that 10 locations within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment had long-lived assets that were impaired. The long-lived asset impairment charge, subject to limitations described below, was calculated as the amount that the carrying value of the locations exceeded the estimated fair value. The calculated long-lived asset impairment charge was allocated to each of the categories of long-lived assets at each location pro rata based on the long-lived assets’ carrying values, except that individual assets cannot be impaired below their individual fair values when that fair value can be determined without undue cost and effort. For most of these locations, the operating lease right-of-use assets and furniture and equipment were written down to their individual fair values and the remaining impairment charge was allocated to the remaining long-lived assets up to the fair value estimated on these assets based on liquidation value estimates.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company experienced no indicators of impairment of long-lived assets and recorded 0 long-lived asset impairment charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded the following long-lived asset impairment charges: $2.4 million related to leasehold improvements, $2.6 million related to furniture and $68.5equipment, and $1.6 million respectively.operating lease right-of-use assets. Of the $6.6 million long-lived asset impairment charge during the six months ended June 30, 2020, $6.5 million related to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis duringas of the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company’s goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets might be impaired. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then it is required to perform the quantitativefirst step of a two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the Company records an impairment of goodwill equal to the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that a triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment test of its RV and Outdoor Retail reporting unit had occurred as a result of the decline in the market price of the Company’s Class A common stock and the potential impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business. As a result of the interim goodwill impairment test, the Company determined that the fair value of the RV and Outdoor Retail reporting unit was substantially above its respective carrying amount, therefore, 0 goodwill impairment was recorded. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company determined that there were no triggering events for an interim goodwill impairment test of its reporting units.

On March 17, 2017, CWGS Group, LLC entered into an amendment to the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities to increase the Existing Term Loan Facility by $95.0 million to $740.0 million. The net proceeds from the additional borrowings were intended to be used by FreedomRoads to purchase dealerships. No other terms of the credit agreement governing our Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities were amended in connection with the amendment. The Existing Term Loan Facility includes mandatory amortization at 1% per annum in equal quarterly installments.

Interest on the Existing Term Loan Facility floats at the Company’s option at a) LIBOR multiplied by the statutory reserve rate (such product, the “Adjusted LIBOR Rate”), subject to a 0.75% floor, plus an applicable margin of 3.75%, or b) an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) equal to 2.75% per annum plus the greater of: (i) the prime rate published by The Wall Street Journal (the “WSJ Prime Rate”), (ii) federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or (iii) one-month Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus 1.00%, subject to a 1.75% floor.

The Company also pays a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused amount of the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facility. Reborrowings under the Existing Term Loan Facility are not permitted.

Following the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, the Company is required to prepay the term loan borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities, for such fiscal year. The required percentage prepayment of excess cash flow is reduced to 25% if the total leverage ratio, as defined, is 1.50 to 1.00 or greater but less than 2.00 to 1.00. If the total leverage ratio is less than 1.50 to 1.00, no prepayment of excess cash flow is required.

The Existing Revolving Credit Facility matures on November 8, 2021, and the Existing Term Loan Facility matures on November 8, 2023. The funds available under the Existing Revolving Credit Facility may be utilized for borrowings or letters of credit; however, a maximum of $15.0 million may be allocated to such letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on November 8, 2021, and the Term Loan Facility matures on November 8, 2023. The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory principal payments in equal quarterly installments of $3.0 million. Additionally, the Company is required to prepay the term loan borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for such fiscal year depending on the Total Leverage Ratio.

Management has determined that no events have occurred at June 30, 2020 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause.

The Credit Agreement requires the Borrower and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which covenant is in effect only if, as of the end of each calendar quarter, the aggregate amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility (including swingline loans), letters of credit and unreimbursed letter of credit disbursements outstanding at such time (minus the lesser of (a) $5.0 million and (b) letters of credit outstanding) is greater than 30% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Commitments (minus the lesser of (a) $5.0 million and (b) letters of credit outstanding), as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 30% threshold. At June 30, 2020, the Company would have met this covenant if the Company had exceeded the 30% threshold. The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

For cash and cash equivalents; accounts receivable; other current assets; accounts payable; notes payable — floor plan, net; and other current liabilities the amounts reported in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to their short-term nature or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

16


There have been no0 transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels and there were no0 material re-measurements to fair value during 20172020 and 20162019 of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table presents the reported carrying value and fair value information for the Company’s debt instruments. The fair values shown below for the Existing Term Loan Facility and Previous Term Loan Facility, as applicable, are based on quoted prices in the inactive market for identical assets (Level 2).

On October 19, 2018, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Ronge v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Ronge Complaint”). On October 25, 2018, a different purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Strougo v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Strougo Complaint”).

The Ronge and Strougo Complaints were consolidated and lead plaintiffs (the “Ronge Lead Plaintiffs”) appointed by the court. On February 27, 2019, the Ronge lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint against

the Company, holds certain property and equipment under rental agreements and operating leases that have varying expiration dates. A majority of its operating facilities are leased from unrelatedofficers, directors, Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C., and the underwriters of the May and October 2017 secondary offerings of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Consolidated Complaint”). The Consolidated Complaint alleges violations of Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as well as Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, based on allegedly materially misleading statements or omissions of material facts necessary to make certain statements not misleading related to the business, operations, and management of the Company. Additionally, it alleges that certain of the Company’s officers and directors, Crestview Partners II GP, L.P., and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. violated Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by allegedly acting as controlling persons of the Company. The lawsuit brings claims on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of the Company’s Class A common stock between March 8, 2017 and August 7, 2018, and seeks compensatory damages, rescission, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any equitable or injunctive relief the court deems just and proper. On May 17, 2019, the Company, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. On March 12, 2020, Ronge Lead Plaintiffs filed an Amended Consolidated Complaint, adding those allegations contained in the Geis Complaint (defined below). On March 13, Ronge Lead Plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of class action settlement, which the Court granted on April 7, 2020. On August 5, 2020, the Court granted final approval of the class action settlement and the case was dismissed with prejudice. The settlement is expected to be paid directly by the Company’s applicable insurance policies.

On December 12, 2018, a putative class action complaint styled International Union of Operating Engineers Benefit Funds of Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware v. Camping World Holdings Inc., et al. was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, on behalf of all purchasers of Camping World Class A common stock issued pursuant and/or traceable to a secondary offering of such securities in October 2017 (“IUOE Complaint”). The IUOE Complaint names as defendants the Company, and certain of its officers and directors, among others, and alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegedly materially misleading statements or omissions of material facts necessary to make certain statements not misleading and seeks compensatory damages, including prejudgment and post-judgement interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any equitable or injunctive relief the court deems just and proper, including rescission. On February 28, 2019, the Company, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss this action. The parties throughoutargued the merits of defendants’ motion to dismiss before the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Commercial Division, on September 6, 2019. The Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss on April 22, 2020. On July 13, 2020, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement resolving the named plaintiff’s claims. The putative class’s claims were duplicative of certain claims in the Ronge case described above, and thus were included in the settlement agreement that the Ronge court approved at the Settlement Hearing on August 5, 2020. The Company expects to file a joint stipulation of dismissal with the named plaintiff in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in light of the settlement agreement in the Ronge case.

On February 22, 2019, a putative class action complaint styled Daniel Geis v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al. was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, on behalf of all purchasers of Camping World Class A common stock in and/or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering on October 6, 2016 (“Geis Complaint”). The Geis Complaint names as defendants the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of the offering, and alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegedly materially misleading statements or omissions of material facts necessary to make certain statements not misleading. The Geis Complaint seeks compensatory damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper. On April 19, 2019, the Company, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss this action. The parties argued the merits of defendants’ motion to dismiss before the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division on August 20, 2019. On August 26, 2019, the Court stayed the Geis Complaint pending resolution of the motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint that is pending in the United States.States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The Geis plaintiff became a plaintiff in Ronge, and the Geis putative class’s claims were duplicative of certain claims in the Ronge case described above, and thus were included in the settlement agreement that the Ronge court approved on August 5, 2020. The Company expects to file a joint stipulation of dismissal of the Geis complaint in light of the settlement agreement in the Ronge case.

On March 5, 2019, a shareholder derivative suit styled Hunnewell v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty for alleged failure to implement effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting and to properly oversee certain acquisitions and for alleged insider trading (the “Hunnewell Complaint”).

On April 17, 2019, a shareholder derivative suit styled Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty for alleged failure to implement effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting and to properly oversee certain acquisitions and for alleged insider trading and unjust enrichment for compensation received during that time (the “LPPF Complaint”). The LPPF Complaint names the Company as nominal defendant, and names certain of the Company’s officers and directors, among others, as defendants and seeks compensatory damages, extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief, restitution and disgorgement, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper. On May 30, 2019, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to consolidate the Hunnewell and LPPF Complaints (as well as any future filed actions relating to the subject matter) and stay the newly consolidated action pending the resolution of defendants’ motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

On August 6, 2019, 2 shareholder derivative suits, styled Janssen v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., and Sandler v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., were filed in the U.S. District Court of Delaware.  Both actions name the Company as a nominal defendant, and name certain of the Company’s officers and directors, Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. as defendants, and allege: (i) violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act for issuing proxy statements that allegedly omitted material information and allegedly included materially false and misleading financial statements; (ii) violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, seeking contribution for causing the Company to issue allegedly false and misleading statements and/or allegedly omit material information in public statements and/or Company filings concerning the Company’s financial performance, the effectiveness of internal controls to ensure accurate financial reporting, and the success and profitability of the integration and rollout of Gander Outdoors (now Gander RV) stores; (iii) breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement for allegedly causing or allowing the Company to disseminate to Camping World shareholders materially misleading and inaccurate information through the Company’s SEC filings; and (iv) breach of fiduciary duties for alleged insider selling and misappropriation of information (together, the “Janssen and Sandler Complaints”). The Janssen and Sandler Complaints seek restitutionary and/or compensatory damages, injunctive relief, disgorgement of all profits, benefits, and other compensation obtained by the certain of the Company’s officers and directors, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper. We are only a nominal defendant in the Janssen and Sandler Complaints. On September 25, 2019, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to consolidate the action and stay the action pending resolution of the motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint that is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

No assurance can be made that these or similar suits will not result in a material financial exposure in excess of insurance coverage, which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, the Company is involved in other litigation arising in the normal course of business operations. The Company does not believe it is involved in any litigation that requires disclosure or will have a material adverse effect on its results

9.11. Acquisitions

Dealerships and Consumer Shows

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016,2020, the Company did not acquire any businesses. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, subsidiaries of the Company acquired the assets of multiple dealership locations and consumer shows.3 RV dealerships that constituted businesses under accounting rules. The Company used a combination of cash and floor plan financing proceeds from the May 2017 Public Offering (defined and described in Note 13 — Stockholders’ Equity), and additional borrowing on the Existing Term Loan Facility in March 2017 (see Note 4 — Long-term Debt) to complete the acquisitions. The Company considers acquisitions of independent dealerships to be a fast and capital efficient alternative to opening new RV and Outdoor Retail locations to expand its business and grow its customer base. The acquired businesses were recorded at their estimated fair values under the acquisition method of accounting. The balance of the purchase prices in excess of the fair values of net assets acquired were recorded as goodwill.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of RV dealerships for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $38.6 million. The purchases were partially funded through $8.4 million of borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, concurrent with the acquisition of dealership businesses,2019, the Company purchased real properties for $12.2property of $0.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively, from parties related to the sellers of the dealership businesses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company sold other real properties to a third party in sale-leaseback transactions for $6.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions of dealerships, retail and consumer shows consist of the following:

The current portion of the liability was $0.3 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is included in other current liabilities. The liability outstanding was $2.7 million and $2.8 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

11.12. Income Taxes

CWH is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, on October 6, 2016, as part of the Company’s IPO, becameJune 30, 2020, is a 22.6%42.3% owner of CWGS, LLC (see Note 1314 — Stockholders’ Equity)Equity and Note 15 — Non-Controlling Interests). CWGS, LLC is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes, with the exception of Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc., CW,Camping World, Inc. (“CW”), and FreedomRoads RV, Inc. (“FRRV”) and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are Subchapter C corporations.

On January 1, 2019, the Company transferred certain assets relating to its Good Sam Club and co-branded credit card from its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, GSS Enterprises LLC (“GSS”), to its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, CW, a corporation. As a result of this transfer, the Company recorded an estimated $14.4 million of net income tax expense during the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to the revaluation of certain deferred tax assets and related changes in valuation allowance. As a result of transferring certain assets relating to its Good Sam Club and co-branded credit card from GSS to CW, as described above, the Company also re-evaluated the impact on its Tax Receivable Agreement liability related to the reduction of future expected tax amortization. The reduction in future expected tax amortization reduced the Tax Receivable Agreement liability by an estimated $7.2 million. Unrelated to the transfer described above, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability was reduced by an additional $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for changes in estimated state income tax rates applicable to CWH. As a result of these adjustments to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, the Company recorded an estimated $8.5 million of other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

As further described in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of income tax and payroll tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. For the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020, there were no material tax impacts to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as it relates to COVID-19 measures other than the deferral of non-income-based payroll taxes under the CARES Act of $9.2 million as of June 30, 2020, which were included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will continue to monitor additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and 2016,others.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 8.9%14.2% and 3.2%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 10.5% and 2.4%54.7%, respectively. The amountdecrease is primarily a result of higher income tax expense andincurred at CWGS, LLC for which the effective income tax rate increased in 2017 primarily because CWH was alsoCompany is subject to U.S. federal state and localstate taxes on its allocable share, partially offset by operating losses recorded by CW for which no tax benefit can be recognized and absent the transfer of taxablecertain assets between subsidiaries in the prior period, which had resulted in the $14.4 million of net income or loss generated by CWGS, LLC subsequent to the Company’s IPO, and also partially to the increased profitability of FRRV.tax expense described above. The Company's effective income tax rate is significantly less thanfor the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 14.2%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0%21.0% primarily because no federal income taxes are payable by the Company for the non-controlling interests' share of CWGS, LLC’s taxable income due to CWGS, LLC’s pass-through structurea portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies which are not subject to corporate level taxes and losses at certain subsidiaries for federal and most state and localwhich an income tax reporting, withbenefit was not recorded, since there was a full valuation allowance against the exceptionrelated deferred tax assets of the Subchapter C corporations noted above.those subsidiaries.

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine if they can be realized and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. At SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the Company determined that all of its

25

deferred tax assets except(except those of CW and the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset discussed below) are more likely than not to be realized. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of CW, since it was determined that it is more likely than not, based on available objective evidence, that CW would have insufficient taxable income in the current or carryforward periods under the tax laws to realize the future tax benefits of its deferred tax assets. DuringThe Company maintains a partial valuation allowance against the three months ended September 30, 2017, TheHouse.com was acquired by CW (see Note 9 — Acquisitions) andOutside Basis Deferred Tax Asset pertaining to the related deferredportion that is not amortizable for tax liabilities acquired reducedpurposes, since the amountCompany would likely only realize the non-amortizable portion of the valuation allowance necessary forOutside Basis Deferred Tax Asset if the deferred tax assets of CW by $6.0 million. The deferred taxes on TheHouse.com acquisition are preliminary as they are subject to measurement period adjustments for up to one year from the date of acquisition as new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

The provision for income tax for the entities subject to federal income tax has been includedinvestment in the consolidated financial statements. The income tax is based on the amount of taxes due on their tax returns plus deferred taxes computed based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using expected tax rates.

CWGS, LLC was divested.

The Company recognizesis party to the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a particular tax position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted as appropriate for changes in facts and circumstances, such as significant amendments to existing tax law, new regulations or interpretations by the taxing authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination, or resolution of an examination. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties relating to income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

On October 6, 2016, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “TaxTax Receivable Agreement”)Agreement that provides for the payment by the Company to the Continuing Equity Owners and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, the Company actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis from the purchase of common units from Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. in exchange for Class A common stock in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the related transactions and any future redemptions that are funded by the Company and any future redemptions or exchanges of common units by Continuing Equity Owners as described above and (ii) certain other tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. CWGS intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code effective for each tax year in which a redemption or exchange (including a deemed exchange) of common units for cash or stock occur. These tax benefit payments are not conditioned upon one or more of the Continuing Equity Owners or Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. maintaining a continued ownership interest in CWGS, LLC. In general, the Continuing Equity Owners’ or Crestview Partners II GP, L.P.’s rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement are assignable, including to transferees of its common units in CWGS, LLC (other than the Company as transferee pursuant to a redemption or exchange of common units in CWGS, LLC).  The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of the tax benefits, if any, which may be realized. As part of the IPO, 1,698,763 common units in CWGS, LLC were exchanged for Class A common stock by Crestview Partners II GP, L.P., subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 1,001,2482020 and 6,526,6102019, 110,000 and 5,725 common units in CWGS, LLC, respectively, were exchanged for Class A common stock subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement payments due to those parties that redeemed common units, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits the Company expects to realize from the tax basis increases related to the exchange, after concluding it was probable that the Tax Receivable Agreement payments would be paid based on estimates of future taxable income. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the amount of Tax Receivable Agreement payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $109.9$108.6 million and $19.2$114.8 million, respectively, of which $7.4$6.9 million and $1.0$6.6 million, respectively, werewas included in the current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company must, at all times, maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of common units of CWGS, LLC owned by CWH (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities).

Immediately following the completion of the Reorganization Transactions and IPO, CWH owned 22.6% of CWGS, LLC and the remaining 77.4% of CWGS, LLC was owned by the Continuing Equity Owners (see Note 14 —15. Non-Controlling Interests). As a result of the Reorganization Transactions, CWH became the

24


sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and, although CWH had a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC, CWH had the sole voting power in, and controlled the management of, CWGS, LLC. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of CWGS, LLC and reported a non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements.Interests

As the Reorganization Transactions are considered transactions between entities under common control, the financial statements for periods prior to the IPO and Reorganization Transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.  See the Company’s Annual Report for further details.

On May 31, 2017, the Company completed a public offering (the “May 2017 Public Offering”) in which the Company sold 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a public offering price of $27.75 per share.

CVRV Acquisition LLC redeemed 4,323,083 common units of CWGS, LLC for 4,323,083 shares of Class A common stock, which it sold in the May 2017 Public Offering along with 1,176,917 shares of Class A shares that CVRV Acquisition II LLC already held as a result of the Reorganization Transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, 4,323,083 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock registered in the name of CVRV Acquisition LLC were cancelled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of common units redeemed. In addition, on June 5, 2017, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 825,000 shares of Class A common stock from the May 2017 Selling Stockholders, in conjunction with their exercise of their option to purchase the additional 600,000 shares from the Company as described above.

14. Non-Controlling Interests

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, described in Note 1314 — Stockholders’ Equity, CWH becameis the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of CWGS, LLC. The Company reports a non-controlling interest representing the common units of CWGS, LLC held by Continuing Equity Owners. Changes in CWH’s ownership interest in CWGS, LLC while CWH retains its controlling interest in CWGS, LLC will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of common units of CWGS, LLC by the Continuing Equity Owners will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when CWGS, LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. At SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, CWGS, LLC had positive and negative net

25


assets, respectively, which resulted in positive and negative non-controlling interest amounts respectively, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.condensed consolidated balance sheets. At the end of each period, the Company will record a non-controlling interest adjustment to additional paid-in capital such that the non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is equal to the non-controlling interest’s ownership share of the underlying CWGS, LLC net assets (see the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit)).

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, there were 88,536,36589,332,393 and 83,771,83089,158,273 common units of CWGS, LLC outstanding, respectively, of which CWH owned 30,227,06137,773,109 and 18,935,91637,488,989 common units of CWGS, LLC, respectively, representing 34.1%42.3% and 22.6%42.0% ownership interests in CWGS, LLC, respectively, and the Continuing Equity Owners owned 58,309,30451,559,284 and 64,835,91451,669,284 common units of CWGS, LLC, respectively, representing 65.9%57.7% and 77.4%58.0% ownership interests in CWGS, LLC, respectively.

In June 2020, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Melvin Flanigan that became effective after his resignation as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Secretary on June 30, 2020. Prior to Mr. Flanigan’s resignation from his employment with the Company, he was previously granted awards of (a) 62,500 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) on January 21, 2019 (the “First Award”), and (b) 60,000 RSUs on

28

November 12, 2019 (the “Second Award”) pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Incentive Award Plan. The consulting agreement provides, among other things, that: (i) the remaining unvested 41,667 RSUs held by Mr. Flanigan pursuant to the First Award will vest on January 1, 2021, provided that the consulting agreement has not been terminated prior to December 31, 2020, and (ii) 20,000 unvested RSUs held by Mr. Flanigan pursuant to the Second Award that are scheduled to vest on November 15, 2020 will vest on such date, provided that the Consulting Agreement has not been terminated prior to such date. This modification resulted in an incremental equity-based compensation charge of $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the remaining equity-based compensation of $0.7 million relating to the modified RSUs will be recorded over the remaining service period, net of forfeitures, through December 31, 2020.

16.In July 2020, the Company granted 2.4 million RSUs to employees with an aggregate grant date fair value of $78.5 million, which will be recognized, net of forfeitures, through August 2025.

17. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available 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.

As described in Note 13 —  Stockholders’ Equity, on October 6, 2016, the LLC Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) provide for a new single class of common membership interests, the common units of CWGS, LLC, and (ii) exchange all of the then-existing membership interests of the Original Equity Owners for common units of CWGS, LLC. This Recapitalization changed the relative membership rights of the Original Equity Owners such that retroactive application of the Recapitalization to periods prior to the IPO for the purposes of calculating earnings per share would not be appropriate.

Prior to the IPO, the CWGS, LLC membership structure included membership units, preferred units, and Profits Units. During the period of September 30, 2014 to October 6, 2016, there were 70,000 preferred units outstanding that received a total preferred return of $2.1 million per quarter in addition to their proportionate share of distributions made to all members of CWGS, LLC. The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per unit for periods prior to the IPO using the two-class method and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the IPO on October 6, 2016.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 1.1 million stock options and 0.4 million and 0.2 million restricted stock units, respectively, were excluded from the weighted-average in the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock and Class C common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock or Class C common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

18. Subsequent Events

On October 6, 2017, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of November 8, 2016 (as amended by the First Amendment dated March 17, 2017 and as further amended, the "Credit Agreement"). The Second Amendment, among other things, (i) increased the Borrower’s term loan facility by $205.0 million to an outstanding principal amount of $939.5 million, (ii) amended the applicable margin to 2.00% from 2.75% per annum, in the case of base rate loans, and to 3.00% from 3.75% per annum, in the case of LIBOR loans, and (iii) increased the quarterly amortization payment to $2.4 million.

On October 30, 2017, the October 2017 Selling Stockholders (as defined below) completed a public secondary offering (the “October 2017 Public Offering”), in which CWGS Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, wholly-owned by ML Acquisition and CVRV Acquisition LLC, CVRV Acquisition II LLC, and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C., each affiliates of Crestview (collectively, the “October 2017 Selling Stockholders”) sold 6,700,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the public offering price of $40.50 per share. CWGS Holding, LLC and CVRV Acquisition LLC redeemed an aggregate of 5,415,529 common units of CWGS, LLC for 5,415,529 shares of Class A common stock, which they sold in the October 2017 Public Offering along with 1,284,471 shares of Class A shares sold by CVRV Acquisition II LLC and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. that they already held as a result of the Reorganization Transactions and the previous vesting of RSUs held by certain members of the board of directors affiliated with Crestview, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, an aggregate of 5,415,529 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock registered in the name of CWGS Holding, LLC and CVRV Acquisition LLC were cancelled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of common units redeemed. In addition, on October 27, 2017, the underwriters partially exercised their option to purchase up to an additional 1,005,000 shares of Class A common stock from the October 2017 Selling Stockholders. On November 1, 2017, the October 2017 Selling Stockholders closed on the sale of the additional 963,799 shares of Class A common stock. CWGS Holding, LLC and CVRV Acquisition LLC redeemed an additional aggregate 779,026 common units of CWGS, LLC for 779,026 shares of Class A common stock, which they sold in the October 2017 Public

Offering along with 184,773 shares of Class A shares sold by CVRV Acquisition II LLC and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. that they already held as a result of the Reorganization Transactions and the previous vesting of RSUs held by certain members of the board of directors affiliated with Crestview, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, an additional aggregate of 779,026 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock registered in the name of CWGS Holding, LLC and CVRV Acquisition LLC were cancelled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of common units redeemed. The Company did not receive any proceeds relating to the sale of shares in the October 2017 Public Offering by the October 2017 Selling Stockholders. The impact from the Tax Receivable Agreement (see Note 11 — Income Taxes) of the redemption of common units described above relating to the October 2017 Public Offering is expected to increase the current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability by approximately $5.7 million, increase the non-current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability by approximately $106.0 million, increase deferred tax assets by approximately $143.0 million, and increase additional paid-in capital by approximately $31.3 million.

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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report, and Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q and in other parts of this Form 10-Q. Except to the extent that differences among reportable segments are material to an understanding of our business taken as a whole, we present the discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on a consolidated basis.

For purposes of this Form 10-Q, we define an "Active Customer" as a customer who has transacted with us in any of the eight most recently completed fiscal quarters prior to the date of measurement. Unless otherwise indicated, the date of measurement is SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, our most recently completed fiscal quarter.  Additionally, references herein to the approximately 911 million U.S. households that own a recreational vehicle ("RV") are based on The RV Consumer in 2011, an industry report published by the University of Michigan in 2011 (the "RV Survey"), which we believe to be the most recent such survey.

Overview

We believe we are the only provider of a comprehensive portfolio of services, protection plans, products, and resources for RV enthusiasts. Approximately 9 million households in the United States own an RV, and of that installed base, we had approximately 3.6 million Active Customers at September 30, 2017, excluding the impact of the acquisition of Gander Mountain and Overton’s in May 2017 (“Gander Mountain Acquisition”). In addition, as of the date of consummation of the Gander Mountain Acquisition, Gander Mountain and Overton’s had 2.5 million unique Active Customers related to the Gander Mountain Acquisition that do not overlap with the 3.6 million Active Customers noted above. We expect to operate significantly fewer retail locations than Gander Mountain operated prior to its bankruptcy. Therefore, we would anticipate that the favorable impact on our Active Customer countdata from the Gander Mountain Acquisition over time would be approximately 0.7 million to 1.5 million. We generate recurring revenue by providing RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts the full spectrum of services, protection plans, products, and resources that we believe are essential to operate, maintain, and protect their RV and to enjoy the RV and outdoor lifestyles. We provide these offerings through our two iconic brands, Good Sam and Industry Association.

Overview

Camping World Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is America’s largest retailer of recreational RVs and following the Gander Mountain Acquisition, Gander Mountain, which will be rebranded as Gander Outdoors, and Overton’s.

We believe our Good Sam branded offerings provide the industry’s broadest and deepest range of services, protection plans, products, and resources, including: extended vehicle service contracts and insurance protection plans, roadside assistance, membership clubs, and financing products. A majority of these programs are on a multi‑year or annually renewable basis.

Our Camping World brand operates the largest national network of RV‑centric retail locations in the United States through our 137 retail locations in 36 states, as of September 30, 2017, and through our e‑commerce platforms. We believe we are significantly larger in scale than our next largest competitor. We provide new and used RVs, repair parts, RV accessories and supplies, RV repair and maintenance services, protection plans, travel assistance plans, RV financing, and lifestyle products and services for new and existing RV owners. Our retail locations are staffed with knowledgeable local team members, providing customers access to extensive RV expertise. Our Camping World retail locations are strategically located in key national RV markets. Additionally, our Overton’s brand operates two stores in one state and provides marine and watersport accessories and supplies; TheHouse.com, which is primarily an online retailer with two retail locations, offers skiing, snowboarding, bicycling, and skateboarding products; and our one W82 location offers skiing, snowboarding, and skateboarding products.

31


We attract new customers primarily through our retail locations, e‑commerce platforms, and direct marketing. Once we acquire our customers through a transaction, they become part of our customer database where we leverage customized customer relationship management (“CRM”) tools and analytics to actively engage, market, and sell multiplerelated products and services. Our goalvision is to consistently growbuild a long-term legacy business that makes RVing fun and easy, and our customer database throughCamping World and Good Sam brands have been serving RV consumers since 1966. We strive to build long-term value for our various channels to increasingly cross‑sell ourcustomers, employees, and shareholders by combining a unique and comprehensive assortment of RV products and services.

Segments

services with a national network of RV dealerships, service centers and customer support centers along with the industry’s most extensive online presence and a highly-trained and knowledgeable team of associates serving our customers, the RV lifestyle, and the communities in which we operate. We identify our reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. We have identified two reporting segments: (a) Consumer Services and Plans and (b) Retail. We provide our consumer services and plans offerings throughalso believe that our Good Sam brandorganization and we providefamily of programs and services uniquely enables us to connect with our retail offerings primarily through our Camping World brand. Within the Consumer Services and Plans segment, we primarily derive revenue from the salecustomers as stewards of the following offerings: emergency roadside assistance; property and casualty insurance programs; travel assist programs; extended vehicle service contracts; co‑branded credit cards; vehicle financing and refinancing; club memberships; and publications and directories. Within the Retail segment,RV lifestyle. On June 30, 2020, we primarily derive revenue from the saleoperated a total of the following products: new vehicles; used vehicles; parts and service, including RV accessories and supplies; finance and insurance; and skiing, snowboarding, bicycling, skateboarding, marine and watersports products.164 retail locations, with 162 of these selling and/or servicing RVs. See Note 17 — Segment Information1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Growth StrategiesAfter several years of strong growth, the overall RV industry experienced decelerating demand for new vehicles in 2018 and Outlook

We believe2019. Along with the savingsdecelerating demand trends, wholesale shipments of new RV vehicles declined 16.0% in 2019 according to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers. In late 2019, the demand for new RVs offer on a varietyacross the overall RV industry began improving and wholesale shipments of vacation costs, an increasenew RVs increased 13.2% in the poolfirst two months of potential2020 according to the RV customers dueIndustry Association’s survey of manufacturers.

With the COVID-19 crisis causing many state and local governments to an aging baby boomer demographic,issue “stay-at-home” and “shelter-in-place” restrictions in mid-to-late March, sales and traffic levels across the increased RV ownership among younger consumers should continueindustry declined significantly in April 2020. In response to grow the installed baseCOVID-19 pandemic, many RV manufacturers, including Thor Industries, Forest River, Inc., and Winnebago Industries, temporarily suspended production from late March to mid-May. This led to a 44.6% decrease in wholesale shipments of new RVs for the three month period of March, April, and May 2020, according to the RV owners,Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers. In conjunction with the stay-at-home and will haveshelter-in-place restrictions enacted in many areas, the Company saw significant sequential declines in its overall customer traffic levels and its overall revenues from the mid-March to mid-to-late April 2020 timeframe. In the latter part of April, the Company began to see a positive impact on RV usage.

We plansignificant improvement in its online web traffic levels and number of electronic leads, and in early May, the Company began to take advantagesee improvements in its overall revenue levels. As the stay-at-home restrictions began to ease across certain areas of these positive trendsthe country the Company experienced significant acceleration in RV usage to pursue the following strategies to continue to grow ourits in-store and online traffic and revenue and profits:

·

Grow our Active Base of Customers.  We believe our strong brands, leading market position, ongoing investment in our service platform, broad product portfolio, and full suite of resources will continue to provide us with competitive advantages in targeting and capturing a larger share of consumers with whom we do not currently transact, in addition to the growing number of new RV and outdoor enthusiasts that are expected to enter the market. We expect to continue to grow the Active Customer base primarily through three strategies:

·

Targeted Marketing:  We continuously work to attract new customers to our existing retail and online locations through targeted marketing, attractive introductory offerings, and access to our wide array of resources for RV and outdoor enthusiasts.

·

Greenfield Retail Locations:  We establish retail locations in new and existing markets to expand our customer base. Target markets and locations are identified by employing proprietary data and analytical tools.

·

Retail Location Acquisitions:  The RV dealership industry is highly fragmented with a large number of independent RV dealers. We use acquisitions of independent dealers as a fast and capital efficient alternative to new retail location openings to expand our business and grow our customer base.

·

Cross‑Sell Products and Services.  We believe our customer database of over 18 million unique contacts, including the impact of the Gander Mountain Acquisition, provides us with the opportunity to continue our growth through the cross‑selling of our products and services. We use our customized CRM system and database analytics to proactively market and cross‑sell to Active Customers. We also seek to increase the penetration of our products to customers who exhibit higher multi‑product attachment rates.

32


trends in May and June 2020. The Company has also taken steps to add new private label lines, expand its relationships with smaller RV manufacturers, and acquire used inventory from distressed sellers to help manage risks in its supply chain.

Segments

The Company has the following two reportable segments: (i) Good Sam Services and Plans, and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. See Note 18 — Segment Information to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

COVID-19

·

New Products and Vertical Acquisitions.  Introduction of new products enhances our cross‑selling effort, both by catering to evolving customer demands and by bringing in new customers. Through relationships with existing suppliers and through acquisitions, we look to increase the new products we can offer to our customers. Similarly, an opportunistic vertical acquisition strategy allows us to earn an increased margin on our services, protection plans, and products, and we evaluate such acquisitions that can allow us to capture additional sales from our customers at attractive risk‑adjusted returns.

As discussed in Note 91AcquisitionsSummary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19 to our unauditedcondensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our business from mid-March through much of April 2020, but shifted to a favorable impact beginning primarily in May 2020.

In response to the pandemic, we have implemented preparedness plans to keep our employees and customers safe, which include social distancing, providing employees with face coverings and/or other protective clothing as required, implementing additional cleaning and sanitization routines, and work-from-home orders for a significant portion of our workforce. The majority of our RV and Outdoor Retail locations have continued to operate as essential businesses and consequently have remained open to serve our customers through the pandemic, and we continue to operate our e-commerce business. As of June 30, 2020, we have temporarily closed three of our dealerships and two of our specialty retail locations as a result of COVID-19. We temporarily reduced salaries and hours throughout the Company, including for our executive officers and implemented headcount and other cost reductions primarily from the middle of March 2020 through the middle of May 2020, in an attempt to better align expenses with the initially expected reduced sales resulting from the impact of COVID-19 on our business. Most of these temporary salary reductions ended in May 2020 as the adverse impacts of the pandemic began to decline and we increased hours for certain employees and reinstated many positions from the initial headcount reductions as the demand for our products increased.

In conjunction with the stay-at-home and shelter-in-place restrictions enacted in many areas, we saw significant sequential declines in overall customer traffic levels and overall revenues from the mid-March to mid-to-late April 2020 timeframe. In the latter part of April, we began to see a significant improvement in online web traffic levels, and in early May, we began to see improvements in overall revenue levels. As the stay-at-home restrictions began to ease across certain areas of the country, we experienced significant acceleration in our in-store traffic and revenue trends in May and June 2020.  We believe that as stay-at-home restrictions around the U.S. continue to ease, the demand for safe travel modalities and recreational activities away from home will continue to increase, since we believe that the RV industry has benefitted and will continue to benefit from an anticipated slow recovery of the cruise line, air travel and hotel industries.

We have been implementing marketing and operational plans to optimize our leadership position through the recovery, regardless of the ultimate timing and slope of the recovery curve. We have adapted our sales practices to accommodate customers’ safety concerns in this COVID-19 environment, such as offering virtual tours of RVs and providing home delivery options.

If stay-at-home and shelter-in-place restrictions are put back into place or as other modes of transportation recover from the impact of COVID-19, the increased demand for our products may not be sustained. We are unable to accurately quantify the impact that COVID-19 could have on our business, results of operations and liquidity due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the pandemic, including additional waves of infection, the economic impact of the pandemic, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities and other as yet unanticipated consequences. In addition, there could be weakening demand for items that are not basic goods, and our supply chain could be disrupted in the future as a result of the outbreak, such as if Thor Industries, Inc. was to again close its North American production facilities as it did from late March to early May 2020. Either of these events could have a materially adverse impact on our operating results. Please refer to “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part II of this Form 10-Q for updated risk factors related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

33

Strategic Shift

In 2019, we made a strategic decision to refocus our business around our core RV competencies. See Note 4 — Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Total gross profit was $488.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $78.6 million, or 19.2%, from $410.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.5 million decrease in Good Sam TravelAssist revenue, a $0.4 million decrease from reduced magazine ad sales, and a $0.3 million decrease from other services and plans, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase from the vehicle insurance products, and a $0.5 million increase in revenue from RV refinancing.

The $31.8 million decrease was primarily due to decreases of $17.2 million of selling expense, $5.0 million in wage-related expenses, $1.8 million of personal and real property expense, $1.6 million of service and professional fees, and $6.2 million of other store and corporate overhead expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total gross profit decreased to 55.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, from 74.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased 9.9%, or $1.4 million, to $12.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $13.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to a reduction in capital expenditures.

Lease termination

Floor plan interest expense

Floor plan interest expense decreased 54.8%, or $6.2 million, to $5.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $11.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a 227 basis point decrease in the average floor plan borrowing rate, and a 16.2% decrease in average floor plan borrowings driven by lower average inventory levels.

Other interest expense, net

Other interest expense decreased 20.1%, or $3.7 million, to $14.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $18.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a 121 basis point decrease in the average interest rate.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased $12.3 million to $20.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher income incurred at CWGS, LLC for which the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes on its allocable share, partially offset by operating losses recorded by Camping World, Inc. (“CW”) for which no tax benefit can be recognized and absent the transfer of certain assets to CW that was recorded in the prior year as discussed in Note 12 - Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Net income

Net income increased 210.2%, or $110.6 million, to a net income of $163.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from a net income of $52.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the items mentioned above.

Good Sam Services and Plans

The $32.2 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $16.8 million in selling expense, $4.3 million in wage-related expenses, $2.7 million of personal and real property expense, $6.1 million of other store and corporate overhead expenses, and $2.3 million of service and professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total gross profit decreased to 68.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 80.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased 3.2%, or $0.9 million, to $26.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $27.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to a reduction in capital expenditures and the asset impairment related to the 2019 Strategic Shift.

Long-lived asset impairment

As discussed in Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, we have exercisedrecognized $6.6 million of long-lived asset impairments during the Designation Rights and assumed 15 Gander Mountain retail leases on October 6, 2017, in additionsix months ended June 30, 2020, of which $6.5 million related to the two Overton’s retail leases assumed at2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.

Lease termination

Lease termination expense of $1.5 million in the closing of the Gander Mountain Acquisition. The Designation Rights expired on October 6, 2017. Contingent on our final lease negotiations, our current plan is to open the initial 15 to 20 Gander Mountain stores, which will be rebranded as Gander Outdoors, by the end of the first quarter of 2018 and another 40 to 45 stores during the second and third quarters of 2018, with measured growth thereafter. Outside of the 15 Gander Mountain retail leases assumed under the Designation Rights, we expect to enter into new leases directly with the lessors for the other locations. As a result, we will begin to incur meaningful incremental expenses without the benefit of the full revenue as we begin to ramp the Gander Outdoors business and open stores. We believe Gander Mountain’s and Overton’s consumers’ affinitysix months ended June 30, 2020 related primarily to the outdoor lifestyle complements our businesses with potential opportunities to build on our Good Sam strategy of selling clubs, warranties, insurance and other related products.2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.

As discussed below under “— Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we believe that our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to take advantage of these positive trends in RV usage and finance our growth strategy, including the Gander Mountain Acquisition. However, the operation of our business, the rate of our expansion and our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions depend on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn typically depends on cash flow generated by our business and, if necessary, the availability of equityFloor plan interest expense

Floor plan interest expense decreased 40.1%, or debt capital. In addition, as we grow, we will face the risk that our existing resources and systems, including management resources, accounting and finance personnel, and operating systems, may be inadequate to support our growth. Any inability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations or raise additional equity or debt capital or retain the personnel or make the other changes in our systems that may be required to support our growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business — Our ability to operate and expand our business and to respond to changing business and economic conditions will depend on the availability of adequate capital” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business — Our expansion into new, unfamiliar markets presents increased risks that may prevent us from being profitable in these new markets. Delays in opening or acquiring new retail locations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

How We Generate Revenue

Revenue across each of our two reporting segments is impacted by the following key revenue drivers:

Number of Active Customers.  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had approximately 3.6 million and 3.3 million Active Customers, respectively, excluding the impact of the Gander Mountain Acquisition. As discussed above, we estimate that the favorable impact on our Active Customer count from the Gander Mountain Acquisition over time will be approximately 0.7$9.2 million, to 1.5 million. Our Active Customer base is an integral part of our business model$13.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $22.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a 154 basis point decrease in the average floor plan borrowing rate, and has a significant effect on our revenue. We attract new customers12.1% decrease in average floor plan borrowings driven by lower average inventory levels.

Other interest expense, net

Other interest expense decreased 18.5%, or $6.6 million, to our business$29.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $35.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily through our retail locations,  e-commerce platforms, and direct marketing. Once we acquire our customers throughdue to a transaction, they become part of our customer database where we use CRM tools to cross‑sell Active Customers additional products and services.

Consumer Services and Plans.  The majority of our consumer services and plans, such as our roadside assistance, extended service contracts, insurance programs, travel assist, and our Good Sam and Coast to Coast clubs, are built on a recurring revenue model. A majority of these programs are on a

multi‑year or annually renewable basis and have annualized fees typically ranging from $20Income tax expense

Income tax expense decreased $6.5 million to $5,200. We believe that many of these products and services are essential for our customers to operate, maintain and protect their RVs, and to enjoy$24.6 million in the RV lifestyle, resulting in attractive annual retention rates. As we continue to grow our consumer services and plans business, we expect to further enhance our visibility with respect to revenue and cash flow, and increase our overall profitability. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had 1.8 million club members in our Good Sam and Coast to Coast clubs.

Retail Locations.  We open new retail locations through organic growth and acquisitions. Our new retail locations are one of the primary ways in which we attract new customers to our business. Our retail locations typically offer our full array of products and services, including new and used RVs, RV financing, protection plans, a selection of OEM and aftermarket repair parts, RV accessories, RV maintenance products, supplies, and other outdoor lifestyle products. For the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, we opened one and zero acquired retail locations, respectively, opened zero greenfield locations in both periods, and opened zero acquired Overton’s locations in both periods. For2020 compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, we opened fifteen and four acquired retail locations, opened one and one greenfield locations, and opened two and zero acquired Overton’s locations, respectively. In addition, during2019. The decrease was primarily due to the three months ended September 30, 2017,transfer of assets to CW that was recorded in the prior year as a result of the acquisitions of TheHouse.com and W82, we acquired two TheHouse.com and one W82 retail locations (seediscussed in Note 9 — Acquisitions12 – Income Taxes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).10-Q, offset by higher income incurred at CWGS, LLC for which the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes on its allocable share, partially offset by operating losses recorded by CW for which no tax benefit can be recognized.

Same store sales.  Same store sales measureNet income

Net income increased 477.5%, or $123.3 million, to a net income of $149.1 million for the performancesix months ended June 30, 2020 from a net income of a retail location during the current reporting period against the performance of the same retail location$25.8 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. Same store sales calculations for a given period include only those stores that were open both at the end of the corresponding period and at the beginning of the preceding fiscal year.

Same store sales growth is driven by increases in the number of transactions and the average transaction price. In addition to attracting new customers and cross‑selling our consumer services and plans, we also drive our sales through new product introductions, including our private label offerings. Although growth in same store sales drives our overall revenue, we have and will continue to experience volatility in same store sales from period to period, mainly due to changes in our product sales mix. Our product mix in any period is principally impacted by the number and mix of new or used RVs that we sellsix months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the high price pointsitems mentioned above.

Other Key Performance Indicators

Gross Profit and Gross Margins.  Gross profit is our total revenue less our total costs applicable to revenue. Our total costs applicable to revenue primarily consists of the cost of goods and cost of sales. Gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

Our gross profit is variable in nature and generally follows changes in our revenue. While gross margins for our Retail segment are lower than our gross margins for our ConsumerGood Sam Services and Plans segment our Retail segment generates significant gross profit and isrevenue increased 0.1%, or $0.1 million, to $93.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $93.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to a primary means of acquiring new customers, to which we then cross‑sell our higher margin$1.1 million in the vehicle insurance products and services with recurring revenue. We believe the overall growth of our Retail segment will allow us to continue to drive growth in gross profitsprimarily due to increased policies in force and an $0.8 million increase in our abilityroadside assistance programs primarily resulting from upsells to cross‑sell ourhigher priced product offerings, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in consumer shows revenue due to eight fewer consumer shows, and a $0.6 million decrease from other services and plans to our increasing Active Customer base. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, gross profit was $26.1 million and $25.5 million, respectively, and gross margin was 56.5% and 56.1%, respectively, for our Consumerplans.

Good Sam Services and Plans segment andincome increased 5.3%, or $2.3 million, to $45.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $43.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to increased segment gross profit was $330.6of $2.5 million consisting mostly of a $2.1 million increase from the roadside assistance programs, a $1.3 million increase from the extended vehicle programs, and $254.7an $0.8 million respectively,increase from the vehicle insurance products, partially offset by $0.9 million of increased accrual for program costs, a $0.6 million reduction from reduced consumer shows, and gross margin was 27.7%a $0.2 million decrease from other services and 26.9%, respectively, for our Retail segment.

RV and Outdoor Retail

RV and Outdoor Retail segment revenue increased 3.3%, or $82.5 million, to $2.6 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $2.5 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by an $87.2 million, or 6.6%, increase in new vehicle revenue, a $55.8 million, or 13.1%, increase in used vehicle revenue, and an $18.9 million,or 8.4%, increase in finance and insurance revenue, partially offset by a $77.2 million, or 16.0%, decrease in products, service and other revenue primarily due to the 2019 Strategic Shift, and a $2.2 million, or 9.1%, decrease in Good Sam Club revenue.

RV and Outdoor Retail segment income increased 150.3%, or $113.2 million, to a segment income of $188.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from a segment income of $75.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily related to increased segment gross profit was $898.5of $80.6 million and $725.2 million, respectively, and gross margin was 27.6% and 26.7%, respectively, for our Retail segment.

SG&A as a percentageprimarily due to the volume increase of Gross Profit.  Selling,vehicles sold, reduced selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of gross profit allows us$30.1 million, reduced floor plan interest expense of $9.2 million, and $1.4 million of reduced loss on asset disposal, partially offset by $6.6 million of long-lived asset impairment, and $1.5 million of lease termination losses. RV and Outdoor Retail segment margin increased 434 basis points to monitor our expense control over a period of time. SG&A consists primarily of wage‑related7.4%

Corporate and other expenses selling expenses related to commissions and advertising, lease expenses and corporate overhead expenses. We calculate SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit by dividing SG&A expenses for the period by total gross profit. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 66.2% and 66.5%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 65.2% and 67.0%, respectively. We expect SG&A expenses to increase as we open new retail locations through organic growth and acquisitions, which we also expect will drive increases in revenue and gross profit. Additionally, we expect that our SG&A expenses will increase in future periods in part due to additional legal, accounting, insurance

Corporate and other expenses that we expectdecreased 30.9%, or $2.2 million, to incur as a result of being a public company, including compliance with the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.  Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are some of the primary metrics management uses to evaluate the financial performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance as follows:

·

as a measurement of operating performance to assist us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, and remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;

·

for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections;

·

to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and

·

to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before other interest expense (excluding floor plan interest expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss (gain) and expense on debt restructure, loss (gain) on sale of assets and disposition of stores, monitoring fees, equity-based compensation, an adjustment to rent on right to use assets,  loss (gain) on remeasurement of Tax Receivable Agreement, certain acquisition related transaction expenses and pre-opening costs, and other unusual or one‑time items. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue for the period. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not GAAP measures of our financial performance and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or net income margin, respectively, as measures of financial performance, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non‑recurring items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not intended to be a measure of discretionary cash to invest$4.9 million in the growth of our business, as it does not reflect tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recursix months ended June 30, 2020 from $7.1 million in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin supplementally. Our measure of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net income margin, and a further discussion of how we utilize this non-GAAP financial measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily from reduced professional fees.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.United States (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully Exchanged andShare – Diluted Share (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 measuresNon-GAAP Financial Measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. 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, and 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 measures. In evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of those adjusted in this presentation. 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 income before other interest expense, net (excluding floor plan interest expense), provision for income taxestax expense and depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of certain non‑cashnon-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, lease termination loss, (gain) and expenseloss on debt restructure, loss (gain) on saledisposal of assets, and disposition of stores, monitoring fees, equity-based compensation, an adjustment to rent on right to use assets, loss (gain) on remeasurement of Tax Receivable Agreement certain acquisitionliability adjustment, restructuring costs related transaction expenses and pre-opening costs,to the 2019 Strategic Shift, and other unusual or one‑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‑GAAPNon-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully Exchanged and Diluted Share

We define “Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income”Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic” as net income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the reallocation of income attributable to non-controlling interests from the assumed exchange of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC (or the common unit equivalent of membership interests in CWGS, LLC for periods prior to the IPO) for shares of newly-issued Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc. and further adjusted for the impact of certain non‑cashnon-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, lease termination costs, loss (gain) on debt restructure, loss (gain) and expense on saledisposal of assets, and disposition of stores, gain on derivative instruments, monitoring fees, equity-based compensation, an adjustment to rent on right to use assets, loss (gain) on remeasurement of Tax Receivable Agreement interest expense on our Series B notes, acquisitionliability adjustment, restructuring costs related transaction expenses and pre-opening costs,to the 2019 Strategic Shift, other unusual or one‑timeone-time items, and the income tax expense effect of (i) these adjustments, and (ii) the pass-through entity taxableeffect of net income as if the parent company was a subchapter C corporation in periods priorattributable to the IPO. non-controlling interests from these adjustments.

We define “Adjusted Pro FormaNet Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic adjusted for the reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from stock options and restricted stock units, if dilutive, or the assumed exchange, 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 Earnings Per Fully Exchanged and Diluted Share”Share – Basic” as Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. - Basic divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. We define “Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Diluted” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (i) the full exchange of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC (or the common unit equivalent of membership interests in CWGS, LLC for periods prior to the IPO) for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc., (ii) the Class A common stock issued in connection with the IPO was outstanding as of January 1 of each year presented,if dilutive, and (iii)(ii) the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units, if any. We present Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted,  Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully Exchanged andShare – Diluted Share 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‑Non GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

Uses and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management and our board of directors use the Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

·

as a measurement of operating performance because they assist us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;

38


·

for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections;

·

to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and

·

to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business.

By providing these Non‑GAAPNon-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 Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities use EBITDA to measure our compliance with covenants such as the consolidated leverage ratio. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income or other financial statement data presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as indicators of financial performance. Some of the limitations are:

·

such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

·

some of such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

·

some of such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

·

although depreciation and amortization are non‑cashnon-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

·

other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Due to these limitations, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these Non‑GAAPNon-GAAP Financial Measures only supplementally. As noted in the tables above, certain of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures include adjustments for long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, loss (gain) on debt restructure, loss (gain) on saledisposal of assets, and disposition of stores, gain on derivative instruments, monitoring fees, equity-based compensation, an adjustment to rent on right to use assets, loss (gain) on remeasurement of Tax Receivable Agreement acquisitionliability, restructuring costs related transaction expenses and pre-opening costs,to the 2019 Strategic Shift, other unusual or one‑timeone-time items, and the income tax expense effect described above, as applicable. 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. In addition, these certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures adjust for other items that we do not expect to regularly record in periods after the IPO, including monitoring fees. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this paragraph and in the reconciliation tables above help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day‑to‑dayday-to-day operations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Used vehicle revenue was $188.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $6.7 million, or 3.7%, as compared to $181.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a 7.2% increase in the volume of used units sold, mostly travel trailers at our new stores, partially offset by a same store sales decrease of 7.9%.

Used vehicle gross profit was $49.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $6.5 million, or 15.1%, as compared to $43.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase primarily resulted from the 7.2% increase in unit volume consisting of increases for nearly all product types, and a shift towards higher-margined towable units, resulting in a 7.4% increase in gross profit per unit. Gross margin increased to 26.3% from 23.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Used vehicle revenue was $531.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $45.6 million, or 7.9%, as compared to $577.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to reduced inventory availability, resulting from fewer trades on new vehicle unit sales, and the elimination of the automobile unit business as a result of the distribution of the AutoMatch business during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, driving a 6.8% decrease in used vehicle unit sales. Same store sales decreased by 9.6% with the remaining decrease driven by the disposition of the AutoMatch business.

Used vehicle gross profit was $137.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $15.6 million, or 12.7%, as compared to $122.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to increases for nearly all product types and elimination of lower margin auto sales upon the disposition of the AutoMatch business during the second quarter of 2016, resulting in a 21.0% increase in gross profit per unit and a gross margin increase of 475 basis points, partially offset by a 6.8% decrease in vehicle unit sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital have been working capital, inventory management, acquiring and building new retail locations, including pre-opening expenses, the improvement and expansion of existing retail locations, debt service, distributions to holders of equity interests in CWGS, LLC and our Class A common stock, and general corporate needs. These cash requirements have been met through cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from our IPO, proceeds from the May 2017 Public Offering,public equity offering and October 2017 public equity offering, borrowings under our Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below) or previously under our Previous Senior Secured Credit Facilities, andprevious senior secured credit facilities, borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility.Facility (as defined below) and borrowings under our Real Estate Facility (as defined below).

As a public company, our additional liquidity needs include public company costs, payment of regular and special cash dividends, any exercise of the redemption right by the Continuing Equity Owners from time to time (should we elect to exchange common units for a cash payment), payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and state and federal taxes to the extent not shelteredreduced as a result of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their common units remain outstanding. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary, we expect that the payments that we will be required to make to the Continuing Equity Owners, Former Profits Unit Holders and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. will be significant. Any payments made by us to Continuing Equity Owners, Former Profit Unit Holders and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or to CWGS, LLC and, to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us; provided, however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore may accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For a discussion of the Tax Receivable Agreement, see Note 1112 — Income Taxes to our unauditedcondensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

CWGS, LLC intends to make a regular quarterly cash distribution to its common unit holders, including us, of approximately $0.08 per common unit and we intend to use all of the proceeds from such distribution on our common units to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend of approximately $0.08 per share on our Class A common stock, subject to our discretion as the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and the discretion of our board of directors. On July 20, 2020, our board of directors approved the increase of the quarterly dividend to $0.09 per share of Class A common stock from $0.08 per share. During each of the ninethree months ended SeptemberDecember 31, 2019, March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2017,2020, we paid threea regular quarterly cash dividendsdividend of $0.08 per share of our Class A common stock. CWGS, LLC is required to make cash distributions in accordance with the CWGS LLC Agreement in an amount sufficient for us to pay any expenses incurred by us in connection with the regular quarterly cash dividend, along with any of our other operating expenses and other obligations. In addition, we currently intend to pay a special cash dividend of all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution (as defined under “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of

49


our Annual Report) to the holders of our Class A common stock from time to time subject to the discretion of our board of directors as described under “Dividend Policy.”Policy” in our Annual Report. During each of the ninethree months ended SeptemberMarch 31 and June 30, 2017,2020, we paid threea special cash dividendsdividend of $0.0732 per share of our Class A common stock. Additionally, on July 20, 2020, our board of directors increased the quarterly special cash dividend to $0.08 per share of Class A common stock from $0.0732 per share. Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations, particularly with respect to liquidity, and we may not pay dividends according to our policy, or at all.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred long-lived asset impairment charges of $6.6 million, including $6.5 million in connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift. We expect that none of the foregoing charges will result in future cash expenditures. Additionally, in connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift, we have incurred or expect to incur costs relating to one-time employee termination benefits of $1.2 million, lease termination costs of between $15.0 million and $20.0 million, incremental inventory reserve charges of $42.4 million, and other associated costs of $20.0 million to $25.0 million. We expect that approximately $5.6 million to $10.6 million of other associated costs, and $8.0 million to $13.0 million of lease termination costs, will result in future cash expenditures. For a discussion of the 2019 Strategic Shift, see Note 4 — Restructuring and Long-

lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

There is significant uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and cash flows. As a result, we initially took proactive steps to increase cash available on-hand, including, but not limited to, reducing cash expenditures, including wage reductions through a combination of temporary salary reductions, layoffs, and furloughs; negotiating payment deferrals with lessors; reducing marketing and promotional expenses; and delaying strategic capital expenditures. We had negotiated lease payment deferrals with numerous landlords amounting to approximately $14.0 million from 2020 into 2021. As demand for our products accelerated and our cash position improved, we repaid these deferred lease payment amounts in full prior to June 30, 2020 and most of the temporary salary reductions ended in May 2020. Additionally, as a result of our improved cash position, we made voluntary principal payments in June 2020 of $9.6 million on our Term Loan Facility and $20.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility. Due to accelerated industry demand, we saw a substantial increase in contracts in transit volume during the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we saw a substantial increase in our contracts in transit volume. The increase was driven by accelerated industry demand for new and used RVs and longer contract funding periods. The longer contract funding periods are being driven by the closure of many Department of Motor Vehicles (“DMV”) state facilities, lenders implementing additional employment verification procedures, and a general process slowdown that has resulted from many people working from home. The longer contract funding period has led to an increased backlog in contract funding, which impacts the timing of cash receipts for the sale of RVs and related finance and insurance revenues.

Notwithstanding our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, we believe that our sources of liquidity and capital, including cash provided by operating activities and potentially incurring additional borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility, and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy, including the Gander Mountain Acquisition,opening of any additional RV and outdoor retail locations, regular quarterly cash dividends (as described above) and additional expenses we expect to incur as a public company for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot assure you that our cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents or cash available under our Existing Revolving Credit Facility or our Floor Plan Facility, including the potential additional borrowings noted above, will be sufficient to meet our future needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and if availability under our Existing Revolving Credit Facility or our Floor Plan Facility is not sufficient, we may have to obtain additional financing. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may impose significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all.all, including the expected additional borrowings noted above and particularly in light of the economic uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business — Our ability to operate and expand our business and to respond to changing business and economic conditions will depend on the availability of adequate capital” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, we had working capital of $343.7$474.7 million and $266.8$394.7 million, respectively, including $163.2$227.9 million and $114.2$147.5 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Our working capital reflects the cash provided by deferred revenue and gains reported under current liabilities of $78.9$84.3 million and $68.6$87.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively, which reduces working capital. Deferred revenue primarily consists of cash collected for club memberships in advance of services to be provided, which is deferred and recognized as revenue over the life of the membership. We use net proceeds from this deferred membership revenue to lower our long-term borrowings and finance our working capital needs. Our Floor Plan Facility includes a flooring line aggregate interest reduction (“FLAIR”) offset account that allows us to transfer cash as an offset to the payable under the Floor Plan Facility. Of the $216.9 million in the FLAIR offset account at June 30, 2020, we could have withdrawn $180.9 million of cash from the FLAIR offset account and remained in compliance with the financial covenants of the Floor Plan Facility.

54

Seasonality

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income, and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in our business. Because RVs are used primarily by vacationers and campers, demand for services, protection plans, products, and resources generally declines during the winter season, while sales and profits are generally highest during the spring and summer months. In addition, unusually severe weather conditions in some geographic areas may impact demand.

We generate a disproportionately higher amount of our annual revenue in our second and third fiscal quarters, respectively, which include the spring and summer months. We incur additional expenses in the second and third fiscal quarters due to higher purchase volumes, increased staffing in our retail locations and program costs. If, for any reason, we miscalculate the demand for our products or our product mix during the second and third fiscal quarters, our sales in these quarters could decline, resulting in higher labor costs as a percentage of sales, lower margins and excess inventory, which could cause our annual results of operations to suffer and our stock price to decline.

Additionally, SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit tend to be higher in the first and fourth quarters due to the timing of acquisitions and the seasonality of our business. We prefer to acquire new retail locations in the first and fourth quarters of each year in order to provide time for the location to be re‑modeledre-modeled and to ramp up operations ahead of the spring and summer months. The timing of our acquisitions in the first and fourth quarters, coupled with generally lower revenue in these quarters has historically resulted in SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit being higher in these quarters.

Operating activities.Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily collections from contracts in transit and customers following the sale of new and used vehicles, as well as from the sale of retail parts,products and services and consumerGood Sam services and plans. Contracts in transit represent amounts due from third-party lenders from whom pre-arranged agreements have been determined, and to whom the retail installment sales contracts have been assigned. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities, are repayments of vehicle floor plan payables, payments to retail product suppliers, personnel-related expenditures, payments related to leased property, advertising, and various consumer services and program costs.

Investing activities. Our investment in business activities primarily consists of expanding our operations through organic growth and the acquisition of retail locations. Substantially all of our new retail locations and capital expenditures have been financed using cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Description of Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and Floor Plan Facility and Real Estate Facility

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, we had outstanding debt in the form of our credit agreement that included a $734.5 million and $645.0 million term loan (the ‘‘Existing Term Loan Facility’’), respectively, and $35.0 million of commitments for revolving loans (the ‘‘Existing Revolving Credit Facility’’ and, together with the Existing Term Loan Facility, the ‘‘Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities’’)Facilities, our Floor Plan Facility, and our floor plan financing facility with $1.165 billion in maximum borrowing availability and a letter of credit commitment of $15.0 million (the ‘‘Floor Plan Facility’’).Real Estate Facility. We may from time to time seek to refinance, retire or exchange our outstanding debt. Such refinancings, repayments or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. In the past, we have used interest rate swap derivatives to diversify our debt portfolio between fixed and variable rate instruments. For additional information regarding our interest rate risk and interest rate hedging instruments, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part I, Item 3 of this Form 10-Q.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, was party to a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) for a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $35.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory principal payments in equal quarterly installments of $3.0 million, which was paid on June 30, 2020. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on November 8, 2021, and the Term Loan Facility matures on November 8, 2023.

The Credit Agreement for our Senior Secured Credit Facilities requires the “Borrower” and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which covenant is in effect only if, as of the end of each calendar quarter, the aggregate amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility (including swingline loans), letters of credit and unreimbursed letter of credit disbursements outstanding at such time (minus the lesser of (a) $5.0 million and (b) letters of credit outstanding) is greater than 30% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Commitments (minus the lesser of (a) $5.0 million and (b) letters of credit outstanding), as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, we were not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 30% threshold. At June 30, 2020, we would have met this covenant if we had exceeded the 30% threshold. We were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. On June 30, 2020, the Borrower made a $9.6 million voluntary principal payment on the Term Loan Facility. Additionally, the Borrower is required to prepay the term loan borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for such fiscal year depending on the Total Leverage Ratio.

On March 17, 2017, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2016 (as amended, the "Existing Credit Agreement"). Per the terms of the First Amendment, the Borrower’s $645.0 million term loan facility was increased by $95.0 million to $740.0 million. The proceeds from the additional borrowings were used to purchase dealerships within FreedomRoads. No other terms of the Credit Agreement were amended.

On OctoberSee our Annual Report and Note 6 2017, we further amended our Existing Credit Agreement. This amendment, among other things, (i) increased our Existing Term Loan Facility by $205.0 million to an outstanding principal amount of $939.5 million, (ii) amended the applicable margin to 2.00% from 2.75% per annum, in the case of base rate loans, and to 3.00% from 3.75% per annum, in the case of LIBOR loans and, (iii) increased the quarterly amortization payment to $2.4 million. See Note 18 — Subsequent Events– Long-term Debt to our unauditedcondensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

See our Annual Report10-Q for a further discussion of the terms of the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Floor Plan Facility

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, FreedomRoads, LLC (“FR”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, maintained floor plan financing through the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Floor Plan Facility”). On October 8, 2019, FR entered into a Second Amendment to the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, (the “Second Amendment’). The applicable borrowing rate margin on LIBOR and base rate loans ranges from 2.05% to 2.50% and 0.55% and 1.00%, respectively, based on the consolidated current ratio at FR. At June 30, 2020, the Floor Plan Facility allowed FR to borrow (a) up to $1.38

57

billion under a floor plan facility, (b) up to $15.0 million under a letter of credit facility and (c) up to a maximum amount outstanding of $54.0 million under the revolving line of credit, which maximum amount outstanding decreases by $3.0 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maturity date of the Floor Plan Facility is March 15, 2023. On May 12, 2020, FR entered into a Third Amendment to the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Third Amendment”) that provides FR with a one-time option to request a temporary four-month reduction (“Current Ratio Reduction Period”) of the minimum Consolidated Current Ratio (as defined in the Floor Plan Facility) at any time during 2020 and the first seven days of 2021. During the Current Ratio Reduction Period, the applicable borrowing rate margin on LIBOR and base rate loans ranges from 2.05% to 3.00% and 0.55% and 1.50%, respectively, based on the Consolidated Current Ratio at FR. Effective May 12, 2020 through July 31, 2020, FR is not allowed to draw further Revolving Credit Loans (as defined in the Floor Plan Facility). On June 29, 2020, FR made a voluntary $20.0 million principal payment on the revolving line of credit.

The credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility contains certain financial covenants, which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and we have not exercised the option to request the Current Ratio Reduction Period.

See our Annual Report and Note 3 – Inventories and Floor Plan Payable to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the terms of the Floor Plan Facility.

Real Estate Facility

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Camping World Property, Inc. (the ‘‘Real Estate Borrower’’), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, and CIBC Bank USA (“Lender”), was party to a loan and security agreement for a real estate credit facility with an aggregate maximum principal amount of $21.5 million (“Real Estate Facility”).

The Real Estate Facility is subject to certain cross default provisions, a debt service coverage ratio, and other customary covenants which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The outstanding principal of the Real Estate Facility was $18.7 million and $19.7 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In August 2020, we entered into an agreement to lease an owned property for a former distribution center in Greenville, North Carolina to a third party. By entering into this lease, we were required to pay down $10.3 million of the Real Estate Facility in August 2020.

See our Annual Report and Note 6 – Long-term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the terms of the Real Estate Facility.

Sale/Leaseback Arrangements

We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale‑leasebacksale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property and/or leasehold improvements to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds which vary from period to period.

Deferred Revenue and Gains

Deferred revenue and gains consistconsists of our sales for products not yet recognized as revenue at the end of a given period and deferred gains on sale-leaseback and derecognition of right to use asset transactions.period. Our deferred revenue and deferred gains as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 were $124.2 million and $11.5 million, respectively. Deferred revenue is expected to be recognized as revenue and deferred gains are expected to be recognized ratably over the lease terms as an offset to rent expense.2020 was $146.2 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements except for operatingother than short-term leases entered intonot included in our lease obligation.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes in our commitments during the normalthree months ended June 30, 2020 under contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report outside the course of normal business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and in doing so, we have to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change our results from those reported. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.

59

There has been no material change in our critical accounting policies from those previously reported and disclosed in our Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, of Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed toFor a discussion of the Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk fromrisks, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks, in our Annual Report. As of June 30, 2020, there have been no material changes in inflation and interest rates. All of these market risks arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. The following analysis provides quantitative information regarding these risks.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation over the last three fiscal years has not had a significant impact on our operations; however, we cannot assure you there will be no such effect in the future. Our leases require us to pay taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance and utilities, all of which are generally subject to inflationary increases. Additionally, the cost of remodeling acquired retail locations and constructing new retail locations is subject to inflationary increase in the costs of labor and material, which results in higher rent expense on new retail locations. Finally, we finance substantially all of our inventory through various revolving floor plan arrangements with interest rates that vary based on various benchmarks. Such rates have historically increased during periods of increasing inflation.

Interest Rate Risk

Our operating results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on our Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities and our Floor Plan Facility, which carries variable interest rates. Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. Advances under our Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which include the Existing Term Loan Facility and the Existing Revolving Credit Facility, is tied to a borrowing base and bear interest at variable rates. Additionally, under our Floor Plan Facilities we have the ability to draw on revolving floor plan arrangements, which bear interest at variable rates. Because our Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Floor Plan Facility bear interest at variable rates, we are exposed to market risks relating to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. As of September 30, 2017, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Existing Revolving Credit Facility aside from letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $3.2 million outstanding under the Existing Revolving Credit Facility, $717.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding under our Existing Term Loan Facility, net of $5.9 million of unamortized original issue discount and $11.7 million of finance costs, and $799.7 million in outstanding borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility. Based on September 30, 2017 debt levels, an increase or decrease of 1% in the effective interest rate would cause an increase or decrease in interest expense under our Existing Term Loan Facility of $7.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, over the next 12 months and an increase or decrease of 1% in the effective rate would cause an increase or decrease in interest expense under our Floor Plan Facility of approximately $8.0 million over the next 12 months. We do not use derivative

54


financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes, but this does not preclude our adoption of specific hedging strategies in the future.information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control performed during the fiscal quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1:1.  Legal Proceedings

See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Part I of this Form 10-Q.

We are engaged in various legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims related to employment-related matters, breach of contracts, products liabilities, consumer protection and intellectual property matters resulting from our business activities. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these pending claims will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of certain individual litigated matters may not be reasonably predictable and any related damages may not be estimable. Some litigation matters could result in an adverse outcome to us, and any such adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2017,February 28, 2020, other than with respect to the risk factors described below.

Risks Related to60

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and could again have in the Gander Mountain Acquisition

If we continue to open and operate existing Gander Mountain retail locations, we may be required to raise additional funds in order to fund such openings. We cannot assure you that the terms of any additional debt or equity financing we obtain to fund the openings will be favorable to us.

Contingentfuture, certain negative impacts on our final lease negotiations, our current plan is to open the initial 15 to 20 Gander Mountain stores, which will be rebranded as Gander Outdoors, by the end of the first quarter of 2018 and

55


another 40 to 45 stores during the second and third quarters of 2018, with measured growth thereafter. We assumed 15 Gander Mountain leases on October 6, 2017 through the exercise of Designation Rights and expect to enter into new leases for the other locations. As a result, we will begin to incur meaningful incremental expenses without the benefit of the full revenue as we begin to ramp the Gander Outdoors business, and open stores.

Based on our current plans, we currently expect to fund the opening and initial working capital needs of our current goal to operate Gander Mountain stores and certain liabilities that we will assume in connection therewith with available cash on hand and proceeds from the Second Amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. We may also be required to raise additional capital from equity or debt financing to finance the opening and operation of Gander Mountain stores. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such additional equity or debt financing on favorable terms or at all. Moreover, the issuance by us of Class A common stock in any future offerings may result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders andimpacts may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Class A common stock. Furthermore, to the extent that we need to incur additional debt financing in connection with the opening and operation of any Gander Mountain retail locations, such debt financings may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and may limit our ability to obtain financing in the future.

Additionally, if we fail to realize the expected benefits from the Gander Mountain Acquisition or if the financial performance of Gander Mountain and Overton's do not meet our current expectations, it may make it more difficult for us to service our debt and our results of operations, may failfinancial condition and cash flows.

The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken by governments, businesses, including us and our vendors, and the public at large to meet expectations.

We may not completelimit COVID-19's spread have had, and could again have in the opening of Gander Mountain retail locations within the time frame we anticipate or at all, which could have afuture, certain negative effectimpacts on our business including, without limitation, the following:

When governmentally mandated or voluntary stay-at-home guidelines were put in place, we had experienced a decrease in traffic at our RV and Outdoor Retail locations, which resulted in a decrease in the sales of certain of our products and services at our RV and Outdoor Retail locations. If stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders are reinstated, we may again experience negative impacts on our sales that could be more prolonged and more severe than what we have experienced to date. As stay-at-home restrictions began to ease across certain areas of the country, we experienced significant acceleration in our in-store traffic and revenue trends in May and June 2020. The industry has seen an influx of new first time participants because RVs allow people to travel in a safe and socially distant manner during the COVID-19 crisis. These trends may not continue in the future, in particular if the cruise line, air travel and hotel industries begin to recover. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on the historical information in this Form 10-Q regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
National parks and RV parks temporarily closed and may in the future close again in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which could cause consumers to use their RVs less frequently and be less inclined to need or renew certain of our services or purchase products through our e-commerce websites.
As of June 30, 2020, we have temporarily closed three dealerships and two of our specialty retail locations as a result of COVID-19. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies or governmental orders change, we may be forced to close more locations in the future.
Deteriorating economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as increased unemployment, decreases in disposable income, declines in consumer confidence, or economic slowdowns or recessions, could cause a decrease in demand for our products and services.
We have made temporary changes to our operating procedures at our RV and Outdoor Retail locations and offices. We are taking measures to protect our customers, employees and facilities, which include, but are not limited to, social distancing, providing employees with face coverings and/or other protective clothing as required, and implementing additional cleaning and sanitization routines. These measures may not be sufficient to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among our employees and, therefore, we may face labor shortages including key positions. Additionally, our employees may not be as efficient while operating under these temporary procedures, which could result in additional labor costs.
We have faced, and may continue to face, increasing delays in the delivery of certain products from our vendors as a result of shipping delays due to, among other things, additional safety requirements imposed by governmental authorities and capacity constraints experienced by our transportation contractors.
Some of our vendors have experienced, and may experience in the future, temporary facility closures, production slowdowns and disruptions in distribution operations as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their respective businesses, such as Thor Industries, Inc.’s temporary closure of its North American production facilities from late March to early May 2020.
Disruptions in supply chains may place constraints on our ability to source products, which may increase our product costs or lead to shortages.

61

Our ability to increase our borrowing capacity may be limited as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and, if the conditions in the credit markets worsen, our ability to refinance credit arrangements as they mature may also be limited. As a result, there is no guarantee that we will be able to access additional capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
The current uncertain market conditions and their actual or perceived effects on our results of operations and financial condition, along with the current unfavorable economic environment in the United States, may increase the likelihood that one or more of the major independent credit agencies will further downgrade our credit ratings, which could have a negative effect on our borrowing costs.
Governmental authorities in the United States may increase or impose new income taxes or indirect taxes, or revise interpretations of existing tax rules and regulations, as a means of financing the costs of stimulus and other measures enacted or taken, or that may be enacted or taken in the future, to protect populations and economies from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such actions could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
We rely on third-party service providers and business partners, such as cloud data storage and other information technology service providers, suppliers, distributors, contractors, and other external business partners, for certain functions or for services in support of key portions of our operations. These third-party service providers and business partners are subject to risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may interfere with their ability to fulfill their respective commitments and responsibilities to us in a timely manner and in accordance with the agreed-upon terms.
The financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may cause one or more of our counterparty financial institutions to fail or default on their obligations to us, which could cause us to incur significant losses.
Deteriorations in our financial results and financial condition as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause us to default on one or multiple of our credit agreements, including any of the subjective acceleration clauses in such agreements. If this occurs, our obligations under the relevant agreement may be accelerated which would have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity position and financial position.
We may be required to record significant impairment charges with respect to noncurrent assets, including goodwill, other intangible assets, and other long-lived assets whose fair values may be negatively affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. Also, we may be required to write off excess or obsolete inventory as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s damaging impacts on our business.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including related governmental guidance or directives, we have required most office-based employees to work remotely. We may experience reductions in productivity and disruptions to our business routines and heightened cybersecurity risks while our remote work policy remains in place.
Actions we have taken or may take, or decisions we have made or may make, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic may result in legal claims or litigation against us.

The resumption of normal business operations after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may be delayed or constrained by its lingering effects on our results of operations.consumers, vendors or third-party service providers.

On May 26, 2017, CWI, an indirect subsidiaryAny of the Company, completed the acquisition of certain assets of Gander Mountain and its Overton's boating business through a bankruptcy auction that took place in April 2017 for $35.4 million in cash and $1.1 million of contingent consideration, as described in Note 9 — Acquisitions to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

The assets acquired include the right to designate any real estate leases for assignment to CWI or other third parties through the Designation Rights, other agreements CWI elects to assume, intellectual property rights, operating systems and platforms, certain distribution center equipment, Overton’s inventory, the Gander Mountain and Overton's e-commerce businesses and fixtures and equipment for Overton's two retail locations and corporate operations. Furthermore, CWI committed to exercise Designation Rights and take an assignment of no fewer than 15 Gander Mountain retail leases on or before October 6, 2017, in addition to the two Overton's retail leases assumed at the closingnegative impacts of the acquisition. The Designation Rights expired on October 6, 2017 after CWI elected to be designated 15 Gander Mountain retail leases. CWI also assumed certain liabilities, such as cure costs for leases and other agreements it elected to assume, accrued time off for employees retained by CWI and retention bonuses payable to certain key Gander Mountain employees retained by CWI. The cure costs for the 15 Gander Mountain leases assumed under the Designation Rights were approximately $1.1 million.

Contingent on our final lease negotiations, our current plan is to open the initial 15 to 20 Gander Mountain stores, which will be rebranded as Gander Outdoors, by the end of the first quarter of 2018 and another 40 to 45 stores during the second and third quarters of 2018,COVID-19 pandemic, including those described above, alone or in combination with measured growth thereafter. We assumed 15 Gander Mountain leases on October 6, 2017 through the exercise of Designation Rights and expect to enter into new leases for the other locations. As a result, we will begin to incur meaningful incremental expenses without the benefit of the full revenue as we begin to ramp the Gander Outdoors business and open stores. Additionally, given the current liquidation of the existing Gander Mountain inventory, we will need to continue to supply each retail location that we determine to operate with new inventory in a timely manner, whichothers, may also require us to raise additional capital from equity or debt financings. If we are unable to negotiate lease terms with the landlords acceptable to us, order new inventory or raise additional capital, in each case, within the expected time frame, or at all, it could have a negative effect on our financial performance and our ability to execute on our operating strategy for Gander Mountain.

56


Combining Gander Mountain (including Overton's) with Camping World may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the transaction may not be fully realized.

The success of the Gander Mountain Acquisition, including the realization of anticipated benefits and cost savings, will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully combine the businesses of Gander Mountain (including Overton's) and Camping World. The integration may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees or the disruption of each company's ongoing businesses or that the alignment of standards, controls, procedures and policies may adversely affect the combined company's ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, suppliers and employees or to fully achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the transaction. The loss of key employees could adversely affect our ability to successfully conduct our existing business in the markets in which Gander Mountain and Overton's operated prior to the Gander Mountain Acquisition, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our Class A common stock. Other potential difficulties of combining the businesses of Gander Mountain (including Overton's) and Camping World include unanticipated issues in integrating suppliers, logistics, distribution, retail operations, negotiation of lease terms with landlords on terms acceptable to us, information communications and other systems. We also expect to continue to incur non-recurring charges, including transaction costs, directly attributable to the Gander Mountain Acquisition and the opening of these retail locations.

If we experience difficulties with the integration process, the anticipated benefits of the transaction may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Integration efforts between the companies may also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on each of Camping World and Gander Mountain (including Overton's) during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the Gander Mountain Acquisition on the combined company.

Moreover, in connection with the opening of the Gander Mountain retail locations, we expect that we will continue to expand into numerous new markets and will be selling various new product lines or categories, including firearms. See "— We may incur costs from litigation relating to products that we currently sell as a result of the consummation of the Gander Mountain Acquisition and the opening of retail locations, particularly firearms and ammunition, which could adversely affect our total revenue and profitability." As a result, opening retail locations may be more costly or time consuming than expected. Additionally, our unfamiliarity with the Gander Mountain product lines and new markets may also impact our ability to operate these locations profitably once they are opened. Other factors that may impact the profitability of these retail locations include our ability to retain existing store personnel or hire and train new store personnel, especially management personnel, our ability to provide a satisfactory mix of merchandise, our ability to negotiate favorable lease agreements, our ability to supply retail locations with inventory in a timely manner and the other factors described under "— Risks Related to our Business — Our expansion into new, unfamiliar markets, products lines or categories presents increased risks that may prevent us from being profitable in these new markets, products lines or categories. Delays in opening or acquiring new retail locations could have a material adverse effect on our business,results of operations, financial condition and resultscash flows. Any of operations." under ‘‘Risk Factors’’these negative impacts, alone or in combination with others, could exacerbate many of

the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report. As a result, we cannot assure you that weThe full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will be successful in operating the Gander Mountain business on a profitable basis, andnegatively affect our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business,results of operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Wecash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and Gander Mountain (including Overton's) willcannot be subject to business uncertainties whilepredicted, including the liquidation sales are pending.

Uncertainty about the effectscope and duration of the Gander Mountain Acquisition, the timing of the completion of liquidation sales at Gander Mountain's existing storespandemic and the expected openingactions taken by governmental authorities and operation of Gander Mountain and Overton's retail locations on employees, customers and suppliers may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our or Gander Mountain's (including Overton's) ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the liquidation sales are completed, and could cause customers, suppliers and others that deal with Gander Mountain (including Overton's) or us to seek to change existing business relationships with Gander Mountain (including Overton's) or us. If key employees depart or current customers

57


or suppliers terminate or modify their business relationships with us or Gander Mountain (including Overton's) because of issues relatingother third parties in response to the uncertainty of the timing of the completion of liquidation sales at Gander Mountain's existing stores, the timing of the opening of retail locations and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with us or Gander Mountain (including Overton's), our business could be harmed.pandemic.

The obligations and liabilities of Gander Mountain (including Overton's), some of which may be unanticipated or unknown, may be greater than we have anticipated which may diminish the value of Gander Mountain (including Overton's) to us.

Under the asset purchase agreement entered into in connection with the Gander Mountain Acquisition, we have assumed, and will continue to assume, certain liabilities associated with Gander Mountain, including cure costs for real property leases and other agreements we elect to assume, accrued time off for employees retained by us and retention bonuses payable to certain key Gander Mountain employees retained by us. These liabilities may be greater than we have anticipated. The obligations and liabilities of Gander Mountain (including Overton's) could have a material adverse effect on Gander Mountain's (including Overton's) business or Gander Mountain (including Overton's) value to us or on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may incur costs from litigation relating to products that we currently sell as a result of the Gander Mountain Acquisition and the opening of retail locations, particularly firearms and ammunition, which could adversely affect our total revenue and profitability.

We may incur damages due to lawsuits relating to products we currently sell as a result of the Gander Mountain Acquisition and the opening of Gander Mountain retail locations, including, but not limited to, lawsuits relating to firearms, ammunition, tree stands and archery equipment. We may incur losses due to lawsuits, including potential class actions, relating to our performance of background checks on firearms purchases and compliance with other sales laws as mandated by state and federal law. We may also incur losses from lawsuits relating to the improper use of firearms or ammunition sold by us, including lawsuits by municipalities or other organizations attempting to recover costs from manufacturers and retailers of firearms and ammunition. Our insurance coverage and the insurance provided by our vendors for certain products they sell to us may be inadequate to cover claims and liabilities related to products that we sell. In addition, claims or lawsuits related to products that we sell, or the unavailability of insurance for product liability claims, could result in the elimination of these products from our product line, thereby reducing total revenue. If one or more successful claims against us are not covered by or exceed our insurance coverage, or if insurance coverage is no longer available, our available working capital may be impaired and our operating results could be materially adversely affected. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds and management time and could have a negative impact on our profitability and on future premiums we would be required to pay on our insurance policies.
