Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

SeptemberJune 30, 20172023

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 a fair presentationstatement 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, 20172023 and 2022 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20162022 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, 2016 (the “Annual Report”)2022 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2017.February 23, 2023. 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”) and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of CWGS Enterprises, LLC (“CWGS, 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 havinghas sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC. Despite itsLLC (see Note 15 — Stockholders’ Equity). CWH’s position as sole managing member of CWGS, LLC includes periods where CWH hasheld a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022, CWH owned 34.1%52.6%, 50.2%, and 49.8%, 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.

DescriptionCybersecurity Incident

The Company relies on the integrity, security and successful functioning of the Business

CWGS, LLC is a holding companyits information technology systems and operates throughnetwork infrastructure (collectively, “IT Systems”) across its subsidiaries. The operations ofoperations. In February 2022, the Company consistannounced the occurrence of two primary businesses: (i) Consumer Servicesa cybersecurity incident that resulted in the encryption of certain IT Systems and Plans,theft of certain data and (ii) Retail.information (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). The Company provides consumer services and plans offerings throughCybersecurity Incident resulted in the Company’s temporary inability to access certain of its Good Sam brandIT Systems, caused by the disabling of some of its IT Systems by the threat actor and the Company primarily providestemporarily taking certain other IT Systems offline as a precautionary measure. The Company engaged leading outside forensics and cybersecurity experts, launched containment and remediation efforts and a forensic investigation, which was completed as of September 30, 2022. The Company is continuing to take measures to enhance its retail offerings throughIT Systems. Through its Camping World brand. Within the Consumer Services and Plans segment,investigation, the Company identified that personal information of approximately 30,000 individuals was acquired without authorization, including, depending on the individual, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. The Company complied with notification obligations in accordance with relevant law and is continuing to cooperate with law enforcement.

The Company has incurred costs related to investigation, containment, and remediation and expects to continue to incur incremental costs for the remediation of the Cybersecurity Incident, including legal and other professional fees, and investments to enhance the security of its IT Systems. Other actual and potential consequences include, but are not limited to, negative publicity, reputational damage, lost trust with customers,

and regulatory enforcement action. In December 2022, three putative class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries arising out of the Cybersecurity Incident. On March 30, 2023, the Company and plaintiffs reached an agreement in principle to resolve the putative class action complaints for an immaterial amount subject to the execution of a settlement agreement and court approval. On April 11, 2023, for purposes of effectuating the settlement reached with Company, the original complaints were dismissed and refiled as a combined state court complaint. On June 15, 2023, the parties executed the settlement agreement. On June 28, 2023, the plaintiffs’ attorneys in the combined state court case filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement. On July 6, 2023, the judge in the combined state court case set a hearing date of August 10, 2023 for the plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement.

The Company does not expect that the Cybersecurity Incident will cause future disruptions to its business or that the Cybersecurity Incident, including anticipated costs associated with pending litigation, will have a future material impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition.

Seasonality

The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income, and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in its business. Because RVs are used primarily derivesby 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.

The Company generates a disproportionately higher amount of its annual revenue in its second and third fiscal quarters, which include the spring and summer months. The Company incurs additional expenses in the second and third fiscal quarters due to higher sale volumes, increased staffing in its RV dealership locations and program costs. If, for any reason, the Company miscalculates the demand for its products or its product mix during the second and third fiscal quarters, its sales in these quarters could decline, resulting in higher labor costs as a percentage of gross profit, lower margins and excess inventory, which could cause the Company’s annual results of operations to suffer and its stock price to decline.

Additionally, selling, general, and administrative (“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 the Company’s business. The Company prefers to acquire new RV dealership locations in the first and fourth quarters of each year in order to provide time for the location to be remodeled and to ramp up operations ahead of the spring and summer months, but that does not preclude the Company from acquiring new RV dealership locations during the second and third quarters of a year. The timing of the Company’s 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.

Due to the Company’s seasonality, the possible adverse impact from other risks associated with its business, including atypical weather, consumer spending levels and general business conditions, is potentially greater if any such risks occur during the Company’s peak sales seasons.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This standard clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction that prohibits the sale of the following offerings: emergency roadside assistance; propertyan equity security, 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, the Company primarily derives revenues from the sale of the following products: new and used recreational vehicles (“RV”); parts and service, including RV accessories and supplies; camping, hunting, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, bicycling, skateboarding,  marine and

10


watersport equipment and supplies; and finance and insurance. The Company primarily operates in various regions throughout the United States and markets its products and services to RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts. At September 30, 2017, the Company operated 137 Camping World retail locations, of which 121 locations sell new and used RVs, and offer financing, ancillary services, protection plans, and other products for 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.

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 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 assumptionsspecific disclosures related to accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, long lived assets, assets held for sale, program cancellation reserves, and accruals related to self-insurance programs, estimated tax liabilities and other liabilities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”).such an equity security. 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 areprospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim and annual periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted the amendments of this ASU 2021-08 as of January 1, 20172023 and the adoption did not materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements or results of operations.statements.

In January 2016,September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition2022-04, Liabilities―Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This standard requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and Measurement of Financial Assetsquantitative information about the program to allow users to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). This ASU amends guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Although ASU 2016-01 retains many current requirements, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to investments in equity securities, excluding those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in the consolidationpotential magnitude.

The standard willshould be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which should be applied prospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016,March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. For public companies, this standard requires the amortization of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, a consensus ofleasehold improvements associated with common control leases over the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). The amendments require that a statement of cash flows explainuseful life to 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

11


restricted cash equivalents.common control group. The standard will beis effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 and the adoption diddoes not materially impact its consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). This ASU clarifies the definition of a business to exclude gross assets acquired (or disposed of) that have substantially all of their fair value concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The ASU also updates the definition of the term “output” to be consistent with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 606. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 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. 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.

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 expectsexpect 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 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 the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). The amendments in ASU 2017-09 require entities to apply modification accounting in Topic 718 only when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award result in changes to fair value, vesting conditions or the classification of the award 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 condensed consolidated financial statementsstatements.

In August 2015,As of June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022, FR entered into a Sixthmaintained floor plan financing through the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for floor plan financing (“Floor Plan Facility”). The Floor Plan Facility at June 30, 2023 allowed FR to extendborrow (a) up to $1.70 billion under a floor plan facility, (b) up to $30.0 million under a letter of credit facility and (c) up to a maximum amount outstanding of $70.0 million under the revolving line of credit. The maturity date to August 2018. On July 1, 2016, FR entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement forof the Floor Plan Facility is September 30, 2026.

The Floor Plan Facility also includes an accordion feature allowing FR, at its option, to among other things,request to increase the availableaggregate amount of the floor plan notes payable in $50.0 million increments up to a maximum amount of $200.0 million. In July 2023, FR and the Floor Plan Lenders entered into a first amendment to the Floor Plan Facility (“Floor Plan Amendment”) to exercise FR’s existing option under the accordion feature to increase the aggregate amount of the committed floor plan notes payable by $150.0 million to $1.85 billion and reset the accordion feature to allow FR, at its option, to request to increase the aggregate amount of the floor plan notes payable in $50.0 million increments up to a maximum amount of $300.0 million. The Floor Plan Lenders are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any future increase under the accordion feature. Additionally, the Floor Plan Amendment increased the percentage of the aggregate amount of the floor plan notes payable that may be used to finance used RV inventory to 30% from 20%. No incremental funds were drawn at the time of closing of the Floor Plan Amendment.

The maximum FLAIR percentage of outstanding floor plan borrowings is 35% under the Floor Plan Facility. The FLAIR offset account does not reduce the outstanding amount of loans under the Floor Plan Facility for purposes of determining the unencumbered borrowing capacity under the Floor Plan Facility.

Management believes that no events have occurred at June 30, 2023 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause. Additionally, the credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility contain certain financial covenants.

(1)The short-term payable represents the amount due for sold inventory. A payment for any floor plan units sold is due within three to ten business days of sale. Due to the short-term nature of these payables, the Company reclassifies the amounts from notes payable‒floor plan, net to accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the vehicle floor plan payable are reported as cash flows from financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

4. Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Restructuring – 2019 Strategic Shift

On September 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of CWH approved a plan (the “2019 Strategic Shift”) 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 Outdoor Lifestyle Locations, two distribution centers, and 20 specialty retail locations relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had completed the store closures

Table of Contents

and divestitures relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed its analysis of its retail product offerings that are not RV related.

As of December 31, 2021, the activities under the 2019 Strategic Shift were completed with the exception of certain lease termination costs and other associated costs relating to the leases of previously closed locations under the 2019 Strategic Shift. The process of identifying subtenants and negotiating lease terminations has been delayed, which initially was $799.7 millionin part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and $625.2 million, respectively, which was netthese delays are expected to continue. The timing of these negotiations will vary as both subleases and terminations are contingent on landlord approvals. The Company expects that most of the floorremaining leases under the 2019 Strategic Shift will be subleased or terminated by December 31, 2023.

The Company currently estimates the total restructuring costs associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift to be in the range of $121.0 million to $129.7 million. The breakdown of the estimated restructuring costs are as follows:

one-time employee termination benefits relating to retail store or distribution center closures/divestitures of $1.2 million, all of which were incurred through December 31, 2020;
lease termination costs of $20.0 million to $27.0 million, of which $19.4 million has been incurred through June 30, 2023;
incremental inventory reserve charges of $57.4 million, all of which were incurred through December 31, 2021; and
other associated costs of $42.4 million to $44.1 million, of which $41.0 million has been incurred through June 30, 2023.

Through June 30, 2023, the Company has incurred $41.0 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 $1.4 million to $3.1 million represents similar costs that may be incurred through the year ending December 31, 2023 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, 2023 on these leases if the Company is unable to terminate the leases under acceptable terms or offset the 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 the 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, 2023 and 2022 associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift (in thousands):

(2)Other associated costs primarily represent labor, lease and other operating expenses incurred during the post-close wind-down period for the locations related to the 2019 Strategic Shift.

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.

Restructuring – Active Sports

On March 1, 2023, management of the Company determined to implement plans (the “Active Sports Restructuring”) to exit and restructure operations of its indirect subsidiary, Active Sports, LLC, a specialty products retail business (“Active Sports”) as part of its review of underperforming assets and business lines. Upon liquidating a significant amount of inventory and exiting the related distribution centers, the Company reevaluated its exit plan offset accountand concluded instead that it would integrate the remaining operations into its existing distribution and fulfillment infrastructure while maintaining lower inventory levels and a smaller fixed cost structure. These plans have resulted in a much smaller operation and included the closure of $91.1the specialty retail location.

The activities under the Active Sports Restructuring are expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2023. The total restructuring costs associated with the Active Sports Restructuring are estimated to be in the range of $3.8 million to $4.1 million. The breakdown of the estimated restructuring costs are as follows:

one-time employee termination benefits relating to the specialty retail store and distribution center closures of $0.2 million, all of which were incurred through June 30, 2023.
incremental inventory reserve charges of $2.6 million, all of which has been incurred through June 30, 2023; and
other associated costs of $1.0 million to $1.3 million, of which $0.4 million has been incurred through June 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

The incremental inventory reserve charges are based, in part, on the Company’s estimates of the discounting necessary to liquidate the Active Sports inventory. However, additional incremental inventory reserve charges may be recorded in future periods if discounting in excess of those estimates is necessary.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge totaling $6.6 million respectively.related to the Active Sports Restructuring, of which $4.5 million related to intangible assets, and $2.1 million related to other long-lived asset categories.

3.During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had indicators of impairment of the long-lived assets for certain locations based on the Company’s review of location performance in the normal course of business. As a result of updating certain assumptions in the long-lived asset impairment analysis for these locations, the Company determined that the fair value of certain long-lived assets were below their carrying value and were impaired.

The long-lived asset impairment charges were calculated as the amount that the carrying value of these locations exceeded the estimated fair value, except that individual assets cannot be impaired below their individual fair values when that fair value can be determined without undue cost and effort. Estimated fair value is typically based on estimated discounted future cash flows, while property appraisals or market rent analyses are utilized for determining the fair value of certain assets related to properties and leases.

5. Assets Held for Sale

The Company continually evaluates its portfolio for non-strategic assets and classifies assets and liabilities to be sold (“Disposal Group”) as held for sale in the period in which all specified GAAP criteria are met. Upon determining that a Disposal Group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, but does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations, the Company reports the assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group, if material, as separate line items on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and ceases to record depreciation and amortization relating to the Disposal Group.

The Company initially measures a Disposal Group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a Disposal Group until the date of sale. The estimated fair value for Disposal Groups comprised of properties are typically based on appraisals and/or offers from prospective buyers.

As of June 30, 2023, two properties from the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, relating to a closed RV dealership and real estate, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023, one of these properties had associated secured borrowings under the Company’s Real Estate Facilities (see Note 7 Long-Term Debt for definition and further details), which will require payment of the associated balance upon sale of the property.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during 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 quantitative 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.

CWGS, LLC and CWGS Group, LLC have no revenue-generating operations of their own. Their ability to meet the financial obligations associated with the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities is dependent on the earnings and cash flows of its operating subsidiaries, primarily Good Sam Enterprises, LLC and FR, and their ability to upstream dividends. The Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries with the exception of FreedomRoads Intermediate Holdco, LLC, the direct parent of FR, and FR, and its subsidiaries. The Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities containAgreement contains certain restrictive covenants including,pertaining to, but not limited to, mergers, changes in the nature of the business, acquisitions, additional indebtedness, sales of assets, investments, and the prepaymentpayment of dividends subject to certain limitations and minimum operating covenants. Additionally, management has determined that the Senior Secured Credit Facilities include subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management believes that no events have occurred at June 30, 2023 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 Net 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 is greater than 35% of the total commitment on the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding (i) up to $15.0 million attributable to any outstanding undrawn letters of credit and (ii) any cash collateralized or backstopped letters of credit), as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 35% threshold, however the Company’s borrowing capacity was reduced by $37.3 million in light of this covenant. The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022.

Accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three tierthree-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;floor plan notes payable — floor plan, net; and other current liabilitiesunder the Floor Plan Facility, the amounts reported in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheetscondensed consolidated balance sheets approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

The liability was equal to the fair value of rent less the fair value of the amount of rent received by the Company from a tenant under a sublease over the remainder of the lease terms, which expire on various dates through 2032. The change in the estimated fair value of these amounts was recognized in income as part of income from operations.

LLC Conversion

CW, including certain of its subsidiaries, were previously taxable as C-Corps and subject to entity-level taxes. CW had historically generated operating losses for tax purposes. Only losses subject to taxes in certain state jurisdictions were available to offset taxable income generated by the Company’s other businesses. The Company completed the steps necessary to convert CW and certain of its subsidiaries from C-Corps to LLCs with an effective date of January 2, 2023 (the “LLC Conversion”). All required filings for the conversion to LLCs were made by December 31, 2022. Accordingly, the effect of the LLC Conversion was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022, pursuant to the rules prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, as the filings were perfunctory. Beginning with the year ending December 31, 2023, the operating losses of CW and its subsidiaries will offset taxable income generated by the Company’s other LLC businesses. As a result, both income tax expense recognized by CWH and the amount of required tax distributions paid to holders of common units in CWGS, LLC, under the CWGS LLC Agreement, will decrease. The LLC Conversion has allowed the Company to more easily integrate its retail and dealership operations and more seamlessly share resources within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, while providing an expected future cash flow benefit for the operating companies.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there was no significant income tax expense recorded relating to the LLC Conversion.

18. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income availableattributable 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 availableattributable 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 class32

Table 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.Contents

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.

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

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.Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “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, 2017,2023, our most recently completed fiscal quarter.  Additionally, references herein to the approximately 9 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 count 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 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 stockholders 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 vehicleRV lifestyle. On June 30, 2023, we operated a total of 203 locations which sell and/or service contracts; co‑branded credit cards; vehicle financing and refinancing; club memberships; and publications and directories. Within the Retail segment, we primarily derive revenue from the sale 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.RVs.

Industry Trends

According to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers, which almost entirely focuses on North America, wholesale shipments of new RVs for 2022 were 493,268 units, 17.8% less than in 2021, the all-time record year for shipments, but was still the third best year on record. Wholesale shipments of new RVs for the first six months of 2023 were 49.2% less than the first six months of 2022, primarily due to reduced shipments of towable vehicles.

Thor Industries, our largest supplier of RVs, disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 30, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2023 that its North American RV order backlog as of April 30, 2023 had declined 82% compared to April 30, 2022. Thor Industries also disclosed that it believes that as of April 30, 2023, the North American RV independent dealer inventory levels were generally higher than comfortable stocking levels for most of its towable products and generally aligned with desired levels for its motorized products.

The per unit cost of new vehicles has been significantly higher than we experienced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the RV manufacturers’ supply constraints, strong demand for new vehicles during the pandemic, higher inflation, and higher interest rates. These higher costs had been partially mitigated by the higher average selling prices on new vehicles, but we experienced a decrease in new vehicle gross margins during the year ended December 31, 2022, which has continued into the first half of 2023, as a result of these higher costs. We experienced a 7.9% decrease in the average sale price of new vehicles during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, driven by more price sensitive customers in a higher interest rate environment. We expect average selling prices may continue to decrease over time as industry-wide supply continues to normalize, which may continue to reduce new vehicle gross profit per unit. We will continue to evaluate supplier pricing and the mix of our vehicle offerings, such as lower-priced towables, among other criteria, as part of our vehicle procurement process.

Financial Institutions

The Company maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and multi-national financial institutions, and our deposits at certain of these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we will be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all.

Inflation

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we experienced the impact of inflation on our operations, particularly with the increased cost of new vehicles. The price risk relating to new vehicles includes the cost from the manufacturer, as well as freight and logistics costs. Each of these costs have been impacted, to differing degrees, by factors such as high demand for product, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and increased fuel costs, some of which were caused, in part, by the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect these cost pressures to continue during 2023.

We believehave increased labor rates as a response to the savings RVs offer ongenerally higher cost of living experienced in much of the United States in recent quarters. While we regularly review our compensation arrangements to ensure that our pay practices are competitive, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, we made meaningful adjustments to labor rates which were mostly offset by other cost reductions which included reduced headcount in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the elimination or reduction of underperforming assets, locations, and business lines.

Inflationary factors, such as increases to our product and overhead costs, may adversely affect our operating results if the selling prices of our products and services do not increase proportionately with those increased costs or if demand for our products and services declines as a varietyresult of vacationprice increases to address inflationary costs. We finance substantially all of our new vehicle inventory and certain of our used vehicle inventory through revolving floor plan arrangements. Inflationary increases in the costs of new and/or used vehicles financed through the revolving floor plan arrangement result in an increase in the pooloutstanding principal balance of the revolving floor plan arrangement. Additionally, our leases require us to pay taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance and utilities, all of which are generally subject to inflationary increases. Further, the cost of remodeling acquired RV dealership locations and constructing new RV dealership locations is subject to inflationary increases in the costs of labor and material, which results in higher rent expense on new RV dealership locations. Finally, our credit agreements include interest rates that vary based on various benchmarks. Such rates have historically increased during periods of increasing inflation.

Restructuring

In 2019, we made a strategic decision to refocus our business around our core RV competencies (the “2019 Strategic Shift”). The Company does not expect to close additional locations or incur further one-time termination benefits or incremental reserve charges in connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift. The remaining potential RV customersongoing charges under the 2019 Strategic Shift relate to lease termination costs and other associated costs relating to the leases of previously closed locations under the 2019 Strategic Shift. The process of identifying subtenants and negotiating lease terminations has been delayed, which initially was in part due to an aging baby boomer demographic,the COVID-19 pandemic, and the increased RV ownership among younger consumers should continuethese delays are expected to grow the installed base of RV owners, and will have a positive impact on RV usage.

We plan to take advantagecontinue. The timing of these positive trendsnegotiations will vary as both subleases and terminations are contingent on landlord approvals. We expect that most of the remaining leases under the 2019 Strategic Shift will be subleased or terminated by December 31, 2023.

On March 1, 2023, our management determined to implement plans (the “Active Sports Restructuring”) to exit and restructure operations of our indirect subsidiary, Active Sports, LLC, a specialty products retail business (“Active Sports”). The activities under the Active Sports Restructuring are expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2023. The total restructuring costs associated with the Active Sports Restructuring are estimated to be in RV usagethe range of $3.8 million to pursue the following strategies to continue to grow our revenue$4.1 million.

See Note 4 — Restructuring 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


·

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 9 — AcquisitionsLong-Lived Asset Impairment to our unauditedcondensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, we have exercised the Designation Rights and assumed 15 Gander Mountain retail leases on October 6, 2017,10-Q.

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

Beginning in addition to the two Overton’s retail leases assumed at 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 20182021 and another 40continuing through the first quarter of 2023, the Company experienced sequential decreases in new vehicle gross margin, primarily due to 45 storesthe higher cost of new vehicles resulting from the lower industry supply of travel trailers and motorhomes for much of 2021. However, second quarter 2023 new vehicle gross margins were slightly higher than a similar range that the Company experienced in the second quarter pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of 2016 to 2019, which we believe are more typical demand environments than during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, the percentage of total unit sales relating to used vehicles was significantly higher in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of 2016 to 2019. The Company is continuing to execute on its used vehicle strategy, which differentiates it from the competition with proprietary tools, such as the RV Valuator, focus on the development and third quartersretention of 2018, with measured growth thereafter.

Our Corporate Structure Impact on Income Taxes

Our corporate structure is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure and typically results in a different relationship between income (loss) before income taxes and income tax expense than would be experienced by most public companies with a more traditional corporate structure. More traditional structures are typically comprised predominately of Subchapter C corporations (“C-Corps”) and/or lacking significant non-controlling interests with holdings through limited liability companies or partnerships. Typically, most of our income tax expense is recorded at the Designation Rights, we expectCWH level, our public holding company, based on its allocation of taxable income from CWGS, LLC.

More specifically, CWH is organized as a C-Corp and, as of June 30, 2023, is a 52.6% owner of CWGS, LLC. CWGS, LLC is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and, as such is generally not subject to enter into new leases directlyany U.S. federal entity-level income taxes (“Pass-Through”), with the lessors forexception of Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc. and FreedomRoads RV, Inc., and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are C-Corps embedded within 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’ affinity 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.

CWGS, LLC structure. As discussed below, under “— Liquidityprior to 2023, Camping World, Inc. (“CW”) 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, includingits wholly-owned subsidiaries were also C-Corps embedded within the Gander Mountain Acquisition. However,CWGS, LLC structure.

By January 2, 2023, 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 equity 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“LLC Conversion” (see Note 13Risks RelatedIncome Taxes 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,condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations”statements included in Part I, Item 1A1 of our Annual Report.

How We Generate Revenue

The Company expects that, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2023, the LLC Conversion will allow certain losses that previously would have been confined within the C-Corp portion of our two reporting segments is impactedCWGS, LLC to instead offset a portion of income generated by the following key revenue drivers:

NumberPass-Through portion of Active Customers.  AsCWGS, LLC, which would reduce the amount of September 30, 2017income tax expense recorded by CWH. The LLC Conversion is also expected to reduce the amount of tax distributions required to be paid by CWGS, LLC to CWH and the non-controlling interest holders under the CWGS LLC Agreement beginning with the year ending December 31, 2016, we had approximately 3.6 million and 3.3 million Active Customers, respectively, excluding the impact2023.

CWH receives an allocation of its share of the Gander Mountain Acquisition. As discussed above, we estimatenet income (loss) of CWGS, LLC based on CWH’s weighted-average ownership of CWGS, LLC for the period. CWH recognizes income tax expense on its pre-tax income including its portion of this income allocation from CWGS, LLC primarily relating to Pass-Through entities. The income tax relating to the net income (loss) of CWGS, LLC allocated to CWH that relates to separately taxed C-Corp entities is recorded within the favorable impact on our Active Customer count fromconsolidated results of CWGS, LLC. No income tax expense is recognized by the Gander Mountain Acquisition over time will be approximately 0.7 millionCompany for the portion of net income of CWGS, LLC allocated to 1.5 million. Our Active Customer basenon-controlling interest other than income tax expense recorded by CWGS, LLC. Rather, tax distributions are paid to the non-controlling interest holders which are recorded as distributions to holders of LLC common units in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. CWH is an integral part of our business modelsubject to U.S. federal, state and has a significant effect on our revenue. We attract new customers to our business 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 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 $20 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 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 visibilitylocal income taxes with respect to revenueits allocable share of any taxable income of CWGS, LLC 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 ofis taxed at the primary ways in which we attract new customers to our business.

Gross margin increased in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the improved results from the extended vehicle warranty and roadside assistance programs, and expense management.

RV and Outdoor Retail

New Vehicles

New vehicles revenue decreased primarily due to a 19.3% decrease in vehicles sold and a 7.9% decrease in the average selling price per vehicle sold. On a same store basis, new vehicles revenue decreased 29.9% to $739.1 million and new vehicles sold decreased 23.7%.

New vehicles gross profit decreased primarily due to the 19.3% decrease in vehicles sold, partially offset by a 1.6% decrease in the average cost per new vehicle sold. The decrease in new vehicles gross margin was primarily due to the decreased average selling price per new vehicle sold.

Used Vehicles

Used vehicles revenue increased primarily due to a 14.3% increase in used vehicles sold, driven by an increase in demand for used vehicles, as they are a lower-cost alternative to new vehicles, partially offset by a 1.9% decrease in the average selling price per used vehicle sold. On a same store basis, used vehicles revenue increased 5.8% to $580.1 million and vehicles sold increased 8.8%.

Used vehicles gross profit increased slightly primarily due to a 14.3% increase in vehicles sold, partially offset by a 1.9% decrease in the average price per used vehicle sold, and a 1.5% increase in the average cost per used vehicle sold. Used vehicle gross margin decreased 262 basis points primarily due to a 1.9% decrease in the average selling price per used vehicle sold.

Products, service and other

Products, service and other revenue decreased primarily due to lower demand and lower stocking levels of lifestyle and activities, and design and home products, as well as a resultreduction in demand for our RV furniture distribution business as RV manufacturers slowed RV production. Revenues were also impacted negatively by our Active Sports Restructuring. On a same store basis, products, service and other revenue decreased 10.7% to $188.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Products, service and other gross profit decreased primarily due to the demand trends noted above and discounting of Active Sports merchandise in conjunction with the Active Sports Restructuring. The decrease in products, service and other gross margin was primarily due to discounting to reduce inventory levels,

42

Table of Contents

discounting of Active Sports merchandise in conjunction with the Active Sports Restructuring, and compression from higher costs.

Finance and Insurance, net

Finance and insurance revenue and gross profit is recorded net, since the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction, and commission is recognized when a finance and insurance product contract payment has been received or financing has been arranged. Finance and insurance, net revenue decreased primarily due to the 5.9% decrease in total vehicles sold. Finance and insurance, net revenue as a percentage of new and used vehicle revenue was 11.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease from 12.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. On a same store basis, finance and insurance, net revenue decreased 19.5%, or $37.4 million, to $154.4 million versus the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Good Sam Club

Good Sam Club revenue decreased 10.4% primarily due to reduced active Good Sam Club memberships and reduced marketing fee revenue from the Good Sam Club branded credit card.

Good Sam Club gross margin increased primarily due to reduced marketing and wage-related expenses.

Operating Expenses and Other

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a reduction in advertising and variable commissions, partially offset by an increase in service department wage-related expenses and professional fees.

The $2.5 million decrease in equity-based compensation expenses (See Note 17 — Equity-Based Compensation to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) resulted primarily from fewer weighted-average restricted stock units outstanding from significantly fewer restricted stock units granted in 2022 compared to any of the acquisitionsyears from 2017 to 2021.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly primarily due to reduced capital expenditures.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Long-lived asset impairment was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. See Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of TheHouse.comthis Form 10-Q.

Floor plan interest expense

The significant increase in floor plan interest expense was primarily due to a 429 basis point increase in the average floor plan borrowing rate.

Other interest expense, net

Other interest expense, net increased primarily due to a 415 basis point increase in the Term Loan Facility average interest rate and W82, we acquired two TheHouse.com and one W82 retail locationsa higher average principal balance from additional borrowings on the Company’s Real Estate Facilities (see Note 9 — Acquisitions7 – Long-Term Debt to our unauditedcondensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).

Same store sales.  Same store sales measure The average interest rates for the performance of a retail location during the current reporting period against the performance of the same retail location in the corresponding period of the previous year. Same store sales calculationsTerm Loan Facility 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 sell due to the high price points of these products compared to our other retail products and the range of price points among the types of RVs sold.

As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had, respectively, a base of 115 and 107 same stores, of which 17 of those same stores did not include dealerships. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and 2016,2022 were 7.50% and 3.35%, respectively.

RV and Outdoor Retail segment income decreased primarily due to decreased segment gross profit of $147.4 million primarily relating to reduced new vehicles sold, which also tends to result in a correlating decrease in finance and insurance, net revenue, and decreased average selling price per new vehicle; and an $11.9 million increase in floor plan interest expense; partially offset by an $18.4 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses (see discussion of selling, general and administrative expenses above for the similar drivers of this change); a $2.1 million decrease in long-lived asset impairment; a $0.9 million decrease in lease termination expense; and a $0.5 million increase in gain on sale or disposal of assets. RV and Outdoor Retail segment margin decreased to 5.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 11.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due lower average new and used vehicles price per vehicle, and reduced penetration of the finance and insurance products for the current quarter.

Corporate and other expenses

Operating Expenses and Other

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to reduced variable commissions and a reduction in marketing and sponsorship spend.

A $7.8 million decrease in equity-based compensation expenses (See Note 17 — Equity-Based Compensation to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) resulted primarily from (i) $3.2 million less expense related to the modification of restricted stock units to accelerate and/or continue vesting under employee separation agreements, post-termination consulting arrangements, and/or transition agreements, and (ii) fewer weighted-average restricted stock units outstanding from significantly fewer restricted stock units granted in 2022 compared to any of the years from 2017 to 2021.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily from $8.8 million of incremental accelerated amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the adjustment of the useful lives of certain trademark and trade name intangible assets associated with brands not traditionally associated with RVs that we were phasing out, and reduced capital expenditures. These trademark and trade name intangible assets were fully amortized as of June 30, 2022.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Segment income margin increased 562 basis points to 51.4% primarily due to increased service contracts in force previously mentioned, partially offset by reduced revenue from the Good Sam TravelAssist programs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 versus the comparable period in 2022.

RV and Outdoor Retail

RV and Outdoor Retail segment generates significantrevenue decreased primarily due to a $465.4 million, or 24.3%, decrease in new vehicles revenue, a $60.6 million, or 16.9%, decrease in finance and insurance, net revenue, a $37.8 million, or 7.6%, decrease in products, service and other revenue, and a $1.2 million, or 5.1%, decrease in Good Sam Club revenue, partially offset by a $109.0 million, or 11.3%, increase in used vehicles revenue.

RV and Outdoor Retail segment income decreased primarily due to an 8.5% reduction in total vehicles sold, and decreased segment gross profit of $268.3 million, relating to a 2.1% reduction in new vehicles average price per vehicle sold and is a primary means of acquiring6.7% increase in the average cost per new customers,vehicle sold, which also tends to which we then cross‑sell our higher margin productsresult in a correlating decrease in finance and services with recurring revenue. We believe the overall growth of our Retail segment will allow us to continue to drive growthinsurance, net revenue, a $26.5 million increase in gross profits due to our ability to cross‑sell our consumer servicesfloor plan interest expense, and plans to our increasing Active Customer base. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, gross profit was $26.1a $4.9 million and $25.5increase in long-lived asset impairment, partially offset by a $36.8 million respectively, and gross margin was 56.5% and 56.1%, respectively, for our Consumer Services and Plans segment, and gross profit was $330.6 million and $254.7 million, respectively, and gross margin was 27.7% and 26.9%, respectively, for our Retail segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,

gross profit was $82.7 million and $76.8 million, respectively, and gross margin was 57.2% and 56.5%, respectively, for our Consumer Services and Plans segment, and gross profit was $898.5 million and $725.2 million, respectively, and gross margin was 27.6% and 26.7%, respectively, for our Retail segment.

SG&A as a percentage of Gross Profit.  Selling,decrease in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage(see discussion of gross profit allows us to monitor our expense control over a period of time. SG&A consists primarily of wage‑relatedselling, general and administrative 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 expensesabove for the period by total gross profit. Forsimilar drivers of this change), a $5.5 million increase in gain on sale or disposal of assets, and a $1.2 million decrease in lease termination expense. RV and Outdoor Retail segment margin decreased to 4.2% in the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 66.2% and 66.5%, respectively. For2023 from 10.5% in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 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 part2022 primarily due to additional legal, accounting,new vehicles average prices decreasing and average costs increasing, and reduced penetration of the finance and insurance products for the six months ended June 30, 3023 versus the comparable period in 2022.

Corporate and other expenses

The decrease in corporate and other expenses that we expectwas primarily due 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 investincurred in the growthfirst quarter of our business, as it does2022 relating to the cybersecurity incident in February 2022 that were not reflect tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recurrecurring 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 limitations2023, partially offset 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.

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.industry and are used by management to evaluate our operating performance, to evaluate the effectiveness of strategic initiatives, and for planning purposes. By providing these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. In addition, our Senior Secured Credit Facilities use Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated for our subsidiary CWGS Group, LLC, to measure our compliance with covenants such as the consolidated leverage ratio. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and theyGAAP. 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.Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be awareNon-GAAP Financial Measures, it is reasonable to expect that certain of these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other

companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this section and in the future the Company may incur expensesreconciliation tables below help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

For periods beginning after December 31, 2022, we are no longer including the sameother associated costs category of expenses relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift as or similarrestructuring costs for purposes of our Non-GAAP Financial Measures, since these costs are not expected to somebe significant in future periods. For a discussion of those adjustedthe 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 presentation. Form 10-Q.

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‑cashnoncash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, loss (gain)long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, gains and expense on debt restructure, loss (gain)losses on sale or disposal of assets, and disposition of stores, monitoring fees,net, equity-based compensation, an adjustmentrestructuring costs related to rentthe Active Sports Restructuring and the 2019 Strategic Shift, loss and impairment on right to use assets, loss (gain) on remeasurement of Tax Receivable Agreement, certain acquisition related transaction expenses and pre-opening costs,investments in equity securities, and other unusual or one‑timeone-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.

Represents the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit effect of the above adjustments. For periods that ended on or before December 31, 2022, many of these adjustments were related to entities with full valuation allowances for which no tax benefit could be recognized. This assumption uses an effective tax rate of 25.3% and 25.4% for the adjustments for the 2023 and 2022 periods, respectively, which represents the estimated tax rate that would apply had the above adjustments been included in the determination of our non-GAAP metric.

Uses and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

·

(n)

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

the Non-GAAP adjustments to net income detailed above (see (a) through (g) above).

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‑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 investorsAs discussed under “Our Corporate Structure Impact on Income Taxes” 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 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 inPart I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q as indicators, our “Up-C” corporate structure may make it difficult to compare our results with those 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‑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 notcompanies with a more traditional corporate structure. There can be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to investa significant fluctuation in the growthnumerator and denominator for the calculation of our business. We compensateadjusted earnings per share – diluted depending on if the common units in CWGS, LLC are considered dilutive or anti-dilutive for these limitations by relying primarily ona given period. To improve comparability of our GAAPfinancial results, users of our financial statements may find it useful to review our earnings per share assuming the full redemption of common units in CWGS, LLC for all periods, even when those common units would be anti-dilutive. The relevant numerator and using these Non‑GAAP Financial Measures only supplementally. As noteddenominator adjustments have been provided under “Anti-dilutive amounts” in the tablestable above certain of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures include adjustments for loss (gain) on debt restructure, loss (gain) on sale 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, acquisition related transaction expenses and pre-opening costs, other unusual or one‑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‑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%(see (m) above).

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

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 retailRV dealership 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 historically been met through cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from registered offerings of our IPO, proceeds from the May 2017 Public Offering,Class A common stock, borrowings under our Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities or previously under our Previous Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and(as defined in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility.Facility (as defined in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), and borrowings under our Real Estate Facilities (as defined in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).

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 exchangeredeem common units for a cash payment), our stock repurchase program as described below, 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 Profits 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 1113 — 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,56

Stock Repurchase Program

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, 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 ourdid not repurchase Class A common stock subjectunder our stock repurchase program, which expires on December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2023, $120.2 million was available under the stock repurchase program to our discretion as the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and the discretion of our board of directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid three regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.08 per sharerepurchase additional shares of our Class A common stock. CWGS, LLC is required to make cash distributions in accordance with

Dividends

On February 18, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the CWGS LLC Agreement in an amount sufficient for us to pay any expenses incurred by us in connection withincrease of the regularportion of the quarterly cash dividend along with any of our other operating expenses and other obligations. In addition, we currently intendrelating 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 $0.475 per share of Class A common stock from $0.35 per share, which increased the holderstotal quarterly cash dividend to $0.625 per share of Class A common stock from $0.50 per share beginning in March 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid a regular quarterly cash dividend on our Class A common stock of $0.625 per share, which was funded with a $0.15 per common unit cash distribution from timeCWGS, LLC and the remaining $0.475 per share of Class A common stock funded with all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution (as defined under “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report).

On May 24, 2023, in conjunction with the announcement of the declaration of the second quarter 2023 dividend to timeholders of Class A common stock, the Company announced that it had initiated an analysis of its capital allocation strategy as part of the Company’s commitment to driving long-term growth and maintaining a competitive dividend. After completing the capital allocation strategy analysis during July 2023, the Company announced on August 1, 2023, that the Board of Directors approved a decrease of the quarterly cash dividend to $0.125 per share of Class A common stock from $0.625 per share, beginning with the quarterly cash dividend to be paid in September 2023. This dividend will be funded entirely from the Excess Tax Distribution, with no portion funded by common unit cash distributions from CWGS, LLC. The Company believes that this decrease in the quarterly cash dividend will help the Company remain aggressive in accretive RV dealership acquisitions.

Our ability to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock depends on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, restrictions in our debt agreements and in any preferred stock, restrictions under applicable law, the extent to which such distributions would render CWGS, LLC insolvent, our business prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations particularly with respect to liquidity, and we may not pay future dividends according to our policy, or at all. See “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report and “Risk Factors ─ Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock ─ Our ability to pay regular and special dividends on our Class A common stock is subject to the discretion of our boardBoard of directors as described under “Dividend Policy.” Directors and may be limited by our structure and statutory restrictions” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment purchased real property of $37.0 million.

We announced a number of initiatives heading into 2023, including an online RV sales process, service bay expansion, the addition of design centers to our existing store footprint, and continued expansion through dealership acquisitions. We have also announced a number of land acquisitions in anticipation of constructing new stores.

Over the next twelve months, our expansion of dealerships through acquisition and construction is expected to cost between $150.0 million and $210.0 million from a combination of business acquisitions and capital expenditures relating to land, buildings, and improvements. Included in this range is $100.0 million related to business acquisitions where, at a minimum, we have already signed a letter of intent with the seller. We are in the early stages of evaluating additional dealership acquisition opportunities and will update our cost estimates in future periodic reports, if necessary, as there are further developments. Factors that could impact the quantity of future locations or the cost to acquire or open those locations include, but are not limited to, our ability to locate potential acquisition targets or greenfield locations in a geographic area and at a cost that meets

57

our success criteria; continued strong cash flow generation from our operations to fund these acquisitions and new locations; and availability of financing on our Floor Plan Facility. We expect the additional cash requirements of the other announced initiatives to be immaterial.

2019 Strategic Shift

In connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift during the six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid three specialor otherwise settled $2.0 million of other associated costs. We expect that approximately $1.4 million to $3.1 million of other associated costs and $0.6 million to $7.6 million of lease termination costs will result in future cash dividendsexpenditures. The process of $0.0732 per shareidentifying subtenants and negotiating lease terminations has been delayed, which initially was in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and these delays are expected to continue. The timing of these negotiations will vary as both subleases and terminations are contingent on landlord approvals. We expect that most of the remaining leases under the 2019 Strategic Shift will be subleased or terminated by December 31, 2023. For a discussion of the 2019 Strategic Shift and other restructuring activities, 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.

Other Cash Requirements or Commitments

Substantially all of our Class A common stock.new RV inventory and, at times, certain of our used RV inventory is financed under our Floor Plan Facility (defined in Note 3 – Inventories and Floor Plan Payables to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). See “Summary of Credit Facilities, Other Long-Term Debt, and Finance Lease Arrangements” for a summary of the cash requirements related to our indebtedness.

Notwithstanding our obligations underCash requirements relating to the Tax Receivable Agreement weliability, operating and finance lease obligations, and service and marketing sponsorship agreements have not materially changed since our Annual Report.

Sources of Liquidity and Capital

We believe that our sources of liquidity and capital including cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our various credit facilities, other long-term debt, and finance lease arrangements (see Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Credit Facilities, Other Long-Term Debt, and Finance Lease Arrangements in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q), including additional borrowing capacity where applicable, will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy, including the Gander Mountain Acquisition, regularopening of any additional RV dealership locations, quarterly cash dividends (as described above), required payments for our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 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, our Real Estate Facilities, 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 and if availability under our Existing Revolving Credit Facility, or our Floor Plan Facility, our Real Estate Facilities 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 current macroeconomic uncertainty. 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, 2017 and2023, December 31, 2016,2022, and June 30, 2022, we had working capital of $343.7$601.9 million, $611.3 million, and $266.8$697.4 million, respectively, including $163.2$54.5 million, $130.1 million, and $114.2$134.0 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$96.9 million, $95.7 million, and $68.6$95.7 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and2023, December 31, 2016, respectively, which reduces working capital.2022, and June 30, 2022, respectively. Deferred revenue primarily consists of cash collected for

58

club memberships and roadside assistance contracts in advance of services to be provided, which is deferred and recognized as revenue over the life of the membership.membership, and deferred revenue for the annual guide. 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 payables under the Floor Plan Facility. The FLAIR offset account at June 30, 2023 was $133.5 million, all of which could have been withdrawn while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants of the Floor Plan Facility.

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 conditionsbusiness (see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Seasonality to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in some geographic areas may impact demand.Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).

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‑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 resulted in SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit being higher in these quarters.

Description of Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Floor Plan Facility

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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’’) 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’’). 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.

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 October 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.

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.

On February 8, 2022, FRHP Lincolnshire, LLC sold three properties for a total sale price of $28.0 million. Concurrent with the sale of these properties, the Company entered into three separate twenty-year lease agreements, whereby the Company will lease back the properties from the acquiring company. Under each lease agreement, FR has four consecutive options to extend the lease term for additional periods of five years for each option. This transaction is accounted for as a financing transaction. The Company recorded a liability for the amount received, will continue to depreciate the non-land portion of the assets, and has imputed an interest rate so that the net carrying amount of the financial liability and remaining assets will be zero at the

61

end of the initial lease terms. The financial liability is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

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.2023 was $166.7 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, except for operating leases entered into in the normal course of 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.

There has been no material change in our critical accounting policies and estimates 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 to market risk from changes in inflation and interest rates. All of theseThis market risks ariserisk arises in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. The following analysis provides quantitative information regarding these risks.this risk.

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, and our Real Estate Facilities, which carriescarry 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 underBecause our Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which include the Existing Term LoanFloor Plan Facility, and the Existing Revolving Credit Facility, is tied to a borrowing base and bear interest at variable rates. Additionally, under our Floor PlanReal Estate 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 debt levels (see Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Credit Facilities, Other Long-Term Debt, and Finance Lease Arrangements in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q), an increase or decrease of 1%100 basis points in the effective interest rate would cause an increase or decrease in interest expense expense:

under our Existing Term Loan Facility of $13.9 million over the next 12 months;
under our Floor Plan Facility of approximately $11.7 million over the next 12 months;
under our Floor Plan Facility revolving line of credit of approximately $0.2 million over the next 12 months;
under our Real Estate Facilities of approximately $2.0 million over the next 12 months; and
under our Other Long-Term Debt would be immaterial.

See “Results of 1%Operations” in the effective rate would cause an increase or decrease inPart I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of interest expense under our Floor Plan Facility of approximately $8.0 million overfor the next 12 months. six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

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.

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, 2017.2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There waswere no changechanges 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, 2017,2023, 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 10 – 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, 20162022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2017, other than with respect to the risk factors described below.

Risks Related to 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.

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

55


February 23, 2023.

63

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 and 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 fail to meet expectations.

We may not complete the opening of Gander Mountain retail locations within the time frame we anticipate or at all, which could have a negative effect on our business and our results of operations.

On May 26, 2017, CWI, an indirect subsidiary 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 closing 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, 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, which 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.

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, financial condition and results of operations." under ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in operating the Gander Mountain business on a profitable basis, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We and Gander Mountain (including Overton's) will be subject to business uncertainties while the liquidation sales are pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Gander Mountain Acquisition, the timing of the completion of liquidation sales at Gander Mountain's existing stores and the expected opening 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 relating 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.

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.
