Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 20222023

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. and its subsidiaries, 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 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20212022 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, 20212022 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022.23, 2023. Operating results for 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 IPO and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of 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 that occurred on October 6, 2016 resulted in CWH becoming the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, with CWH havinghas sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC (see Note 1415 — Stockholders’ Equity). CWH’s position as sole managing member of CWGS, LLC includes periods where CWH held a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, CWH owned 50.1%52.8%, 50.2%, and 51.2%50.1%, 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.

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

COVID-19

Within a few months of the initial significant outbreaks of COVID-19 in the U.S., the Company experienced elevated demand for recreational vehicles (“RV”) and many of its related products and services. The Company believes that consumers view RVs as a safer alternative to many other travel and recreational activities, in addition to an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors after many consumers spent much of their time at home during portions of the pandemic. The Company believes this led to an introduction of many new customers to the RV lifestyle and a greater appreciation of outdoor activities. For much of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand and interest in new and used vehicles outpaced vehicle supply. Beginning in September 2021, the Company was able to procure more new vehicles from its suppliers than were sold and new towables inventory levels, in particular, normalized in early 2022.

During the height of the pandemic, and related government orders directing non-essential business closures or reductions, the majority of the Company’s retail locations continued to operate as essential businesses. The Company has implemented preparedness plans consistent with government directives to keep

11

Table of Contents

its employees and customers safe. As case counts have risen and receded over the course of the pandemic, the Company has adjusted remote work and office schedules accordingly.

Historically, most of the Company’s consumer shows and events take place during the first quarter. As a consequence of COVID-19, the Company held one in-person consumer show in 2021, compared to 37 in-person consumer shows held prior to the pandemic in 2019, and plans to hold fewer than five in-person consumer shows in 2022. Moving forward, the Company has shifted its consumer show strategy to focus on shows that support its own Camping World dealerships as opposed to hosting other competing dealerships. The Company expects to annually host fewer than five ticketed in-person consumer shows under the Good Sam brand in future years.

Cybersecurity Incident

The Company relies on the integrity, security and successful functioning of its information technology systems and network infrastructure (collectively, “IT Systems”) across its operations. In February 2022, the Company announced that it had experiencedthe occurrence of a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the encryption of certain IT Systems and theft of certain data and information (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). The Cybersecurity Incident resulted in the Company’s temporary inability to access certain of its IT Systems, caused by the disabling of some of its IT Systems by the threat actor and the Company temporarily 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.investigation, which was completed as of September 30, 2022. The forensic investigationCompany is now complete and the Company has restored and is takingcontinuing to take measures to enhance its IT Systems. TheThrough its investigation, the Company has 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 is in the process of complyingcomplied with notification obligations in accordance with relevant law and is continuing to coordinatecooperated with law enforcement.

The Company has incurred costs related to investigation, containment, and remediation and expects to continue to incur incremental costs for the investigation and 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 litigation that could resultcertain of its subsidiaries arising out of the Cybersecurity Incident. On March 30, 2023, the Company and plaintiffs reached an agreement in financial judgments orprinciple to resolve the paymentputative class action complaints for an immaterial amount subject to the execution of a settlement amountsagreement and disputescourt approval. On April 11, 2023, for purposes of effectuating the settlement reached with insurance carriers concerning coverage. 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 August 10, 2023 the court held a hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement hearing at which time the court requested additional information. On September 28, 2023, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement without prejudice. The next hearing date is December 5, 2023.

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.

Description of the Business

Camping World Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is America’s largest retailer of RVs and related products and services. As noted above, CWGS, LLC is a holding company and operates through its subsidiaries. The Company has the following two reportable segments: (i) Good Sam Services and Plans and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. See Note 18 – Segments Information to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about the Company’s segments. Within the Good Sam Services and Plans segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of the following offerings: emergency roadside assistance plans; commissions on property and casualty insurance programs; travel assist programs; extended vehicle service contracts; vehicle financing and refinancing assistance; consumer shows and events; and consumer publications and directories. Within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of new and used RVs; commissions on the finance and insurance contracts related to the sale of RVs; the sale of RV service and collision work; the sale of RV parts, accessories, and supplies; the sale of outdoor products, equipment, gear and supplies; business to business distribution of RV furniture; and the sale of Good Sam Club memberships and co-branded credit cards. The Company operates a national network of RV dealerships and service centers as well as a comprehensive e-commerce platform primarily under the Camping World brand, and markets its products and services primarily to RV and outdoor enthusiasts.

In 2019, the Company made a strategic decision to refocus its business around its core RV competencies, and on September 3, 2019, the board of directors approved a strategic plan to shift the business

12

Table of Contents

away from locations that did not have the ability or where it was not feasible to sell and/or service RVs (the “2019 Strategic Shift”) (see Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment).

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 by vacationers and campers, demand for services, protection plans, products, and resources generally declines during the winter season, while sales and profits are generally highest during the spring and summer months. In addition, unusually severe weather conditions in some geographic areas may impact demand.

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 purchasesale volumes, increased staffing in its retailRV 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 retail 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. 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.

Reclassifications of Prior Period Amounts

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the equity-based compensation and non-controlling interest adjustment line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity have been reclassified to present the equity-based compensation allocated to the non-controlling interest in the non-controlling interest column with an offsetting reclassification to the non-controlling interest adjustment line item.

Use of Estimates

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). This standard requires contract assets and contract liabilities, such as certain receivables and deferred revenue, acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree instead of recording those balances at fair value. This standard should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring after the effective date. The standard will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2021-08 as of January 1, 2022 and the adoption did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued 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 (“ASU 2022-03”).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 an equity security, and requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security. The standard should be applied prospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect thatearly adopted ASU 2021-08 as of January 1, 2023 and the adoption of the provisions of this ASU will have a materialdid not materially impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities―Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations (“ASU 2022-04”).Obligations. This standard requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about the program to allow users to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. Most of the disclosures are required only in annual reporting periods, except for the amount of obligation outstanding to be disclosed at each interim reporting period. The standard should 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

12

Table of Contents

information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. As the Company already included many of the required disclosures in the financial statement footnotes prior to issuance, the adoption of the required provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2023 did not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. For public companies, this standard relatesrequires the amortization of leasehold improvements associated with common control leases over the useful life to additional disclosure requirements, the common control group. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the provisions of this ASU will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations―Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This ASU requires joint ventures to recognize a new basis of accounting for contributed net assets as of the formation date, to measure the contributed identifiable net assets at fair value on the formation date using the business combination guidance in ASC 805-20 (with certain exceptions) regardless of whether an investor contributes a business, to measure the net assets’ fair value based on 100% of the joint venture’s equity immediately following formation, to record goodwill (or an equity adjustment, if negative) for the difference between the fair value of the joint venture’s equity and its net assets and to provide disclosures about the nature and financial effect of the formation transaction. The standard is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Additionally, for joint ventures that were formed before January 1, 2025, the Company may elect to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the provisions of this ASU will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Revenue

Contract Assets

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021,September 30, 2022 a contract asset of $19.5$18.1 million, $18.4 million and $16.2$19.5 million, respectively, relating to RV service revenues, was included in accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Revenues

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance, net of estimated refunds that are recorded separately in accrued liabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023,the Company estimates approximately $71.5 million of revenues recognized were included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. These estimates consider factors including, but not limited to, average service term, cash received for the period, cancellations, contract extensions, and upgrades.

As of September 30, 2022,2023, the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations primarily relating to plans for its roadside assistance plans, Good Sam Club memberships, Coast to Coast memberships, the annual campground guide, and magazine publication revenue streams.

As of September 30, 2022, no used RV inventory was financed by the floor plan credit agreement.banks (“Floor Plan Lenders”). The borrowings under the floor plan credit agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of FreedomRoads, LLC (“FR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FreedomRoads, which operates the RV dealerships. The floor plan borrowings are tied to specific vehicles and principal is due upon the sale of the related vehicle or upon reaching certain aging criteria.

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021,September 30, 2023, FR maintained floor plan financing through the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Floor Plan Facility”), which was amended in July 2023 (“Floor Plan Amendment”). The Floor Plan Facility at September 30, 20222023 allowed FR to borrow (a) up to $1.70$1.85 billion under a floor plan facility, an increase by the Floor Plan Amendment from $1.70 billion, (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 of the Floor Plan Facility is September 30, 2026.

The Floor Plan Facility also includes an accordion feature allowing FR, at its option, to request to increase the aggregate amount of the floor plan notes payable in $50 million increments up to a maximum amount of $200 million. The lenders under$300.0 million, which was reset and increased by the Floor Plan FacilityAmendment in July 2023 from a maximum of $200.0 million. The Floor Plan Lenders are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase. The maturity datefuture increase under the accordion feature. Also, 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%.

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, the applicable interest rate for the floor plan notes payable under the Floor Plan Facility was 4.30%7.27%, 6.01%, and 1.96%4.30%, respectively. Under the Floor Plan Facility, at the Company’s option, the floor plan notes payable, and borrowings for letters of credit, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) the floating Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) plus the applicable rate of 1.90% to 2.50% determined based on FR’s consolidated current ratio, or, (b) the base rate (as described below) plus the applicable rate of 0.40% to 1.00% determined based on FR’s consolidated current ratio.

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021September 30, 2022, the applicable interest rate for revolving line of credit borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility was 4.65%7.62%, 6.21%, and 2.31%4.65%, respectively. Under the Floor Plan Facility, revolving line of credit borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either: (a) a floating BSBY rate, plus 2.25%, in the case of floating BSBY rate loans, or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of: (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate published by Bank of America, N.A. and (iii) the floating BSBY rate plus 1.75%, plus 0.75%, in the case of base rate loans. Additionally, under the Floor Plan Facility, the revolving line of credit borrowings are limited by a borrowing base calculation, which did not limit the borrowing capacity at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.September 30, 2022.

The Floor Plan Facility includes a flooring line aggregate interest reduction (“FLAIR”) offset account that allows the Company to transfer cash to the Floor Plan Lenders as an offset to the payables under the Floor Plan Facility. These transfers reduce the amount of liability outstanding under the floor plan borrowings that would otherwise accrue interest, while retaining the ability to withdraw amounts from the FLAIR offset account subject to the financial covenants under the Floor Plan Facility. As a result of using the FLAIR offset account, the Company experiences a reduction in floor plan interest expense in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, FR had $218.6$207.4 million, $217.7 million, and $92.1$218.6 million, respectively, in the FLAIR offset account. 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 has determined that the credit agreementsagreement governing the Floor Plan Facility includeincludes subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management believes that no events have occurred at September 30, 20222023 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause. Additionally, the credit agreementsagreement governing the Floor Plan Facility containcontains certain financial covenants. FR was in compliance with all debt covenants at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.September 30, 2022.

4.4. Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Restructuring – 2019 Strategic Shift

On September 3, 2019, the boardBoard of directorsDirectors 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 and divestitures relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. As part of the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company evaluated the impact on

16

Table of Contents

its supporting infrastructure and operations, which included rationalizing inventory levels and composition, closing certain distribution centers, and realigning other resources. The Company had a reduction of headcount and labor costs for those locations that were closed or divested, and the Company incurred material charges associated with the activities contemplated under the 2019 Strategic Shift.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed its analysis of its retail product offerings that are not RV related. The information available at the inception of the 2019 Strategic Shift relating to these product categories was incomplete based on the relative immaturity of the locations offering these products and was further delayed by the impact of COVID-19 on consumer buying behavior (see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19).

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had effectively finalized its 2019 Strategic Shift as it relates to closing locations, one-time termination benefits, and incremental reserve charges. The remaining potential ongoing chargesactivities under the 2019 Strategic Shift relate towere 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 in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and isthese delays are expected to continue. The timing of these negotiations will vary as both subleases and terminations are contingent on landlord approvals.

The Company currently estimates the total restructuring costs associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift to be in the range of $116.2$122.7 million to $132.6$131.3 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 werewas incurred through December 31, 2020;
lease termination costs of $20.0 million to $34.0$27.0 million, of which $15.4$19.4 million has been incurred through September 30, 2022;2023;
incremental inventory reserve charges of $57.4 million, all of which werewas incurred through December 31, 2021; and
other associated costs of $37.6$44.1 million to $40.0$45.7 million, of which $37.4$44.1 million has been incurred through September 30, 2022.2023.

Through September 30, 2022,2023, the Company has incurred $37.4$44.1 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 $0.2 millionup to $2.6$1.6 million represents similar costs that may be incurred through the year ending December 31, 20222023 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 terminationsexpects that certain of these leases where prudent and pursue sublease arrangements for the remaining leases. Leaseleases under the 2019 Strategic Shift will be under contract to sublease or terminated by December 31, 2023. The remaining ongoing other associated costs, may continuenet of associated sublease income, are expected to be incurredimmaterial in periods after December 31, 2022 on these leases if the Company is unable to terminate the leases under acceptable terms or offset the lease costs through sublease arrangements.2023. 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 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 and 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 the 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

17

Table of Contents

to be in the range of $5.2 million to $5.5 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 has been incurred through September 30, 2023;
incremental inventory reserve charges of $3.9 million, all of which has been incurred through September 30, 2023;
lease termination charges of $0.4 million, all of which has been incurred through September 30, 2023; and
other associated costs of $0.7 million to $1.0 million, of which $0.7 million has been incurred through September 30, 2023.

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 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.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the nine months ended September 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. Duringbusiness, which included the determination to close certain locations. Certain of these location closures are expected to occur during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had indicators of impairment of the long-lived assets for certain of its closed locations relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift.December 31, 2023. 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 charge wascharges were calculated as the amount that

18

Table of Contents

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

19

Table of Contents

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 September 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 September 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.

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 willagreed to lease back the properties from the acquiring company.

8.9. Fair Value Measurements

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

There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels and there were no material re-measurements to fair value during 2022 and 2021 of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table presents the reported carrying value and fair value information for the Company’s debt instruments. The fair values shown below for the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, are based on quoted prices in the inactive market for identical assets (Level 2), and the fair values shown below forFor floor plan notes payable under the Floor Plan Facility, the Revolving Lineamounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature or the existence of Credit, and the Real Estate Facilities are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the currentvariable interest rates that approximate prevailing market interest rate that is available based on similar financial instruments.rates.

General

While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company does not have sufficient information to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss for the matters discussed above. No assurance can be made that these or similar suits will not result in a material financial exposure in excess of insurance coverage, which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, the Company is involved in other litigation arising in the normal course of business operations.

The Company will continue to monitor additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and others. Furthermore, on March 11, 2021 the American Rescue Plan Act, a $1.9 trillion tax-and-spending package aimed at addressing the continuing economic and health impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, was enacted.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) into law. The IRA contains several revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum income tax and a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases in tax years beginning after December 31, 2022 with certain exclusions for (a) repurchased shares for withholding taxes on vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and (b) treasury shares reissued in the same tax year for settlement of stock option exercises or vesting of RSUs. While these tax law changes have no immediate effect and are not expectedsubject to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations going forward, we will continue to evaluate its impact as further information becomes available.entity level taxes, and the benefit for certain entity classification elections described above.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's effective income tax rate was 15.7%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies, which are not subject to corporateentity level taxes, and a $2.8 million increase in the accrual for uncertain tax positions, net of income tax benefits of $0.8 million related to current state combined unitary losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 12.5% primarily due to a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies, which are not subject to corporate level taxes, income tax benefits of $14.5 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets at CW that can now be included in state combined unitary income tax returns and $4.1 million for the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of increased state tax rates. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reduced its deferred tax asset by $9.4 million relating to CWH’s investment in CWGS, LLC for the change in ownership of CWGS, LLC from the treasury stock repurchase of 2.6 million shares of Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (see Note 1415 — Stockholders’ Equity). These treasury stock repurchases result in a commensurate reduction in common units in CWGS, LLC held by CWH.

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine if they can be realized and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company determined that all of its deferred tax assets (except those of CW and the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset discussed below) are more likely than not to be realized. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of CW, excluding certain state deferred tax assets included in the state combined unitary income tax returns, since it was determined that it is more likely than not, based on available objective evidence, that CW would have insufficient taxable income in the current or carryforward periods under the tax laws to realize the future tax benefits for this portion of its deferred tax assets. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset pertaining to the portion that is not amortizable for tax purposes,

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 on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 (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, 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 September 30, 2022,2023, our most recently completed fiscal quarter.

Overview

Camping World Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is America’s largest retailer of recreational RVs and related products and services. Our vision is to build a long-term legacy business that makes RVing fun and easy, and our Camping World and Good Sam brands have been serving RV consumers since 1966. We strive to build long-term value for our customers, employees, and shareholdersstockholders by combining a unique and comprehensive assortment of RV products and 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 also believe that our Good Sam organization and family of programs and services uniquely enables us to connect with our customers as stewards of the RV lifestyle. On September 30, 2022,2023, we operated a total of 193 retail209 locations with 192 of these sellingwhich sell and/or servicingservice RVs. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Good Sam Rentals, which is a peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace that can be accessed at RVRentals.com, was launched during the third quarter of 2021 and the financial results and cash needs to date were immaterial. Our previously announced mobile RV technician marketplace is expected to launch in 2022, with nominal further investment. We executed a limited rollout of our online RV sales process on our RVs.com domain in one state during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. We plan to expand RVs.com to additional markets after implementing enhancements, with limited additional investment, based on data gathered during the test rollout.

COVID-19

As discussed in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a primarily favorable impact on our business beginning in May 2020.

Within a few months of the initial significant outbreaks of COVID-19 in the U.S., we experienced elevated demand for RVs and many of our related products and services. We believe that consumers view RVs as a safer alternative to many other travel and recreational activities, in addition to an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors after many consumers spent much of their time at home during portions of the pandemic. We believe this has led to an introduction of many new customers to the RV lifestyle and a greater appreciation of outdoor activities. For much of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand and interest in new and used vehicles outpaced vehicle supply. Beginning in September 2021, we were able to procure more new vehicles from our suppliers than were sold and new towables inventory levels, in particular, normalized in early 2022. As other modes of transportation and vacation options have mostly recovered from the impact of COVID-19, the increased demand for our products, while still elevated, has not remained at the peak levels experienced in recent years.

Historically, most of our consumer shows and events took place during the first quarter. As a consequence of COVID-19, we held one in-person consumer show in 2021, compared to 37 in-person consumer shows held prior to the pandemic in 2019, and we plan to hold fewer than five in-person consumer shows in 2022. Moving forward, we have shifted our consumer show strategy to focus on shows which support our own Camping World dealerships as opposed to hosting other competing dealerships. We expect to annually host fewer than five ticketed in-person consumer shows under the Good Sam brand in future years. We do not expect consumer shows to be material to our consolidated financial statements. We have also held several of our virtual RV Show events beginning in 2020 and have continued these virtual shows in 2022.

Cybersecurity Incident

We rely on the integrity, security and successful functioning of our information technology systems and network infrastructure (collectively, “IT Systems”) across our operations. In February 2022, we announced that we had experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the encryption of certain IT Systems and theft of certain data and information (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). The Cybersecurity Incident resulted in our temporary inability to access certain of our IT Systems, caused by the disabling of some of our IT Systems by the threat actor and our temporarily taking certain other IT Systems offline as a precautionary measure. We engaged leading outside forensics and cybersecurity experts, launched containment and remediation efforts and a forensic investigation. The forensic investigation is now complete and we have restored and are taking measures to enhance our IT Systems. We have 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. We are in the process of complying with notification obligations in accordance with relevant law and are continuing to coordinate with law enforcement.

36

Table of Contents

We have incurred costs related to investigation, containment, and remediation and expect to continue to incur incremental costs for the investigation and remediation of the Cybersecurity Incident, including legal and other professional fees, and investments to enhance the security of our IT Systems. Other actual and potential consequences include, but are not limited to, negative publicity, reputational damage, lost trust with customers, regulatory enforcement action, and litigation that could result in financial judgments or the payment of settlement amounts and disputes with insurance carriers concerning coverage. We do not expect that the Cybersecurity Incident will cause future disruptions to our business or that the Cybersecurity Incident will have a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.  

Industry Trends

According to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers, which almost entirely focuses on North America, wholesale shipments of recreational vehiclesnew RVs for 2022 were 493,268 units, 17.8% less than in 2021, were 600,240 units, athe all-time record year for shipments, but was still the third best year on record. Wholesale shipments of new record for RV shipments for any year. ShipmentsRVs for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased 39.5% over the year ended December 31, 2020 and surpassed 2017, the previous record year, by 19.0%. Wholesale shipments for thefirst nine months ended September 2022of 2023 were 8.2%42.8% less than the comparable period in 2021,first nine months of 2022, primarily driven bydue to reduced travel trailer shipments.shipments of towable vehicles.

Thor Industries, our largest supplier of RVs, disclosed in theirits Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 20222023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 202225, 2023 that theirits North American RV order backlog as ofhad declined 67% compared to July 31, 2022, had declined 45%primarily as a result of a reduction in orders from April 30, 2022 and declined 55% from July 31, 2021.independent dealers. Thor Industries also disclosed that they believe theirit believes that as of July 31, 2023, the North American backlog is generally more in line with their historical levels given improvedRV independent dealer stocking inventory levels were generally higher than comfortable stocking levels for most of its towable products and their anticipated future consumer demand.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, which was largely driven bydue to the RV manufacturers’ supply constraints, described above and the strong demand for new vehicles as well asduring the impact ofpandemic, higher inflation, and higher interest rates. These higher costs havehad been partially mitigated by the higher average selling prices on new vehicles, but we experienced a decrease in new vehicle gross margins during the three and nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2022, which has continued during 2023, as a result of these higher costs. We experienced a 5.7% decrease in the average sale price of new vehicles during the third 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 wouldmay continue to reduce new vehicle gross margins.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.

Certain of our RV manufacturers have indicated that they expect new towable vehicle average selling prices to decline by up to 10% for model year 2024 vehicles. A decrease in average selling prices for new towable vehicles may lead to additional discounting on new vehicles from prior model years, which could negatively impact our near-term new vehicle gross margins as we sell through our stock of pre-2024 model year vehicles. Additionally, these new vehicle price pressures could result in a decline in residual values of used vehicles, which may lead us to discount used vehicle pricing in order to maintain our rate of sale and inventory turns, which could negatively impact used vehicle gross margins. Certain finance and insurance and Good Sam services and plans revenues that are at least partially based on new and/or used vehicle pricing could be negatively impacted by new and/or used vehicle average selling price decreases.

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

In 2022,During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we have 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. WeThese cost pressures began to recede during the third quarter of 2023 and we expect these cost pressuresthis trend to continue into 2023.2024.

We have increased labor rates as a response to the generally 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, we made meaningful adjustments to labor rates, largely in the fourth quarter of 2022, 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. Additionally, during September and October of 2023, we implemented employee headcount reductions and adjustments to employee variable compensation plans that are expected to result in approximately $60.0 million of annual cost savings, primarily for selling, general and administrative expenses. These cost savings exclude any additional employee headcount from our expected expansion of store locations.

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 result of price 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 outstanding 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 retailRV dealership locations and constructing new retailRV dealership locations is subject to inflationary increases in the costs of labor and material, which results in higher rent expense on new retailRV dealership locations. Finally, we finance substantially all of our new vehicle inventory and certain of our used vehicle inventory through revolving floor plan arrangements withcredit agreements include interest rates that vary based on various benchmarks. Such rates have historically increased during periods of increasing inflation.

Strategic ShiftRestructuring

In 2019, we made a strategic decision to refocus our business around our core RV competencies. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed our analysis of our retail product offerings that are not RV related as part of the 2019competencies (the “2019 Strategic Shift. The information available at the inception of the 2019 Strategic Shift relating to these product categories was incomplete based on the relative immaturity of the locations offering these products and was further delayed by the impact of COVID-19 on consumer buying behavior (see

Table of Contents

COVID-19 in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q)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 ongoing 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 the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and isthese 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 certain 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 the range of $5.2 million to $5.5 million.

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

Beginning in the first quarter of 2021 and continuing through the first quarter of 2023, we experienced sequential decreases in new vehicle gross margin, primarily due to the higher cost of new vehicles resulting from the lower industry supply of travel trailers and motorhomes for much of 2021. Additionally, new and used vehicle gross margins have declined for each of the first three quarters of 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. However, third quarter 2023 new vehicle gross margins were slightly higher than a similar range that we experienced in the third quarter pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of 2016 to 2019, which we believe are more typical demand environments than during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the third quarter of 2023, as the procurement prices of model year 2024 new vehicles declined compared to model years 2022 and 2023, we actively discounted certain used vehicles to reduce inventory levels of aged used vehicles. This discounting had a negative impact on used vehicle gross margins during the third quarter of 2023.

Additionally, the percentage of total unit sales relating to used vehicles was significantly higher in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of 2016 to 2019. We are continuing to execute on our used vehicle strategy, which differentiates us from the competition with proprietary tools, such as the RV Valuator, a focus on the development and retention of our service technician team, and investment in our service bay infrastructure.

The following table presents vehicle gross margin and unit sale mix for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of the three months ended September 30, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016 (unaudited):

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 CWH level, our public holding company, based on its allocation of taxable income from CWGS, LLC.

More specifically, as discussed in Note 12 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, CWH is organized as a Subchapter C corporationC-Corp and, as of September 30, 2022,2023, is a 50.1%52.8% owner of CWGS, LLC (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity and Note 15 — Non-Controlling Interests to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).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 any U.S. federal entity-level income taxes (“Pass-Through”), with the exception of Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc., Camping World, Inc. (“CW”), and FreedomRoads RV, Inc., and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are Subchapter C corporations (“C-Corp”)C-Corps embedded within the CWGS, LLC structure. As discussed below, prior to 2023, Camping World, Inc. (“CW”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries were also C-Corps embedded within the CWGS, LLC structure.

By January 2, 2023, the “LLC Conversion” (see Note 13 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) was completed. We expect 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 CWGS, LLC to instead offset a portion of income generated

39

Table of Contents

by the Pass-Through portion of CWGS, LLC, which would reduce the amount of income 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, 2023.

CWH receives an allocation of its share of the net 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 consolidated results of CWGS, LLC. No income tax expense is recognized by the Company for the portion of net income (loss) of CWGS, LLC allocated to non-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 subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of CWGS, LLC and is taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, the Company used effective income tax rate assumptions of 25.4%25.1% and 25.5%25.4%, respectively, for income adjustments applicable to CWH when calculating the adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. ─ basic and diluted (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q). CWGS, LLC may be liable for various other state and local taxes.

Operating Expenses and Other

Selling, general and administrative expenses

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.

Lease termination

Lease termination expense of $0.3 million inaverage interest rates for the Floor Plan Facility for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was related primarily to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.

Floor plan interest expense

Floor plan interest expense increased 203.5%2023 and 2022 were 7.36% and 4.05%, or $6.4 million, to $9.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $3.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a 64.2% increase in average floor plan borrowings driven by higher new vehicle inventory quantities from the normalization of the new travel trailer supply chain, increases in average new unit costs, and 186 basis point increase in the average floor plan borrowing rate. We expect higher floor plan interest expense to continue through the end of 2022 as the floor plan borrowings are expected to be higher in 2022 compared to 2021. Since we do not expect the same new vehicle supply chain constraints that existed in 2021 to be experienced for the remainder of 2022, we expect to have higher average new vehicle inventory levels in 2022. We also expect that interest rates will continue to increase during the remainder of 2022.respectively.

Other interest expense, net

Other interest expense, net increased primarily due to a 141304 basis point increase in the Term Loan Facility average interest rate and a higher average principal balance from additional borrowings on the Company’s Real Estate Facilities (see Note 7 – Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). The average interest rates for the Term Loan Facility for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 7.87% and 4.83%, respectively.

The interest rate at September 30, 2022 was 5.34%, which is above the interest rate floor. We expect that interest rates will continue to increase during the remainder of 2022.remeasurement from a decrease in blended state income tax rates.

Lease termination expense related primarily to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.

Floor plan interest expense

FloorThe significant increase in floor plan interest expense increasedwas primarily due to a 90.2% increase in average floor plan borrowings driven by higher new vehicle inventory quantities from the normalization of the new travel trailer supply chain and increases in average new unit costs, and a 66405 basis point increase in the average floor plan borrowing rate. We expect higher floor planThe average interest expense to continue to increase during the remainder of 2022 as the floor plan borrowings are expected to be higher in 2022 compared to 2021. Since we do not expect the same new vehicle supply chain constraints that existed in 2021 to be experiencedrates for the remainder ofFloor Plan Facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 we expect to continue to have higher average new vehicle inventory levels in 2022.

Other interest expense, net

Other interest expense, net increased primarily due to increased average debt outstanding, and to a lesser extent, a 39371 basis point increase in the Term Loan Facility average interest rate. The increase in interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 did not haverate and a proportionate impacthigher average principal balance from additional borrowings on the increase in other interest expense, since the refinance of the Term Loan Facility in June 2021 resulted in a reduction in interest rates from the 25 basis point decrease in the applicable rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined inCompany’s Real Estate Facilities (see Note 67 – Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q)) and. The average interest rates for the Term Loan Facility was subject to the interest rate floor, including the 2.50% applicable rate, of 3.25% for the first four months of 2022 which negated interest rate increases during that period subject to the interest rate floor. The applicable interest rate on the Term Loan Facility has subsequently risen above the interest rate floor and at September 30, 2022 is 5.34%. For the Term Loan Facility, if the 5.34% interest rate was applicable for the entirety of the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 other interestwere 7.48% and 3.77%, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 there was also lower income generated from CWGS, LLC for which the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes on its allocable share and thea $4.3 million benefit from higher losses at CW that are available to offset state combined income in

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 United States (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted 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 Earnings Per Share – Diluted (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 Financial Measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry and are used by management to evaluate our operating performance, liquidity and capital resources, 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. 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 Financial Measures. In evaluating these Non-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 reconciliation 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.

Table of Contents

For periods beginning after December 31, 2022, we are no longer including the other associated costs category of expenses relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift as restructuring costs for purposes of our Non-GAAP Financial Measures, since these costs are not expected to be significant in future periods. For a discussion of the 2019 Strategic Shift, see Note 4 — Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

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.

Table of Contents

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 tax expense and depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of certain noncash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the Active Sports Restructuring and the 2019 Strategic Shift, loss and impairment on investments in equity securities, and other unusual or one-time items. We define “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

The following table reconciles EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measures:

As discussed under “Our Corporate Structure Impact on Income Taxes” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q, , our “Up-C” corporate structure may make it difficult to compare our results with those of companies with a more traditional corporate structure. There can be a significant fluctuation in the numerator and denominator for the calculation of our adjusted earnings per share – diluted depending on if the common units in CWGS, LLC are considered dilutive or anti-dilutive for a given period. To improve comparability of our financial 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 denominator adjustments have been provided under “Anti-dilutive amounts” in the table above (see (n) above).

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, 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 Class A common stock, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), borrowings under our Floor Plan 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), and borrowings under our 2022 Real Estate Facility (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 redeem 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 reduced 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 1213 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Stock Repurchase Program

In January 2022, our board of directors authorized an increase to the existing stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an additional $152.7 million of our Class A common stock and an extension of the stock repurchase program to expire on December 31, 2025. During the three months ended September 30,

57

Table of Contents

2022, 2023, we did not repurchase Class A common stock under our stock repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 2,592,524 shares of our Class A common stock for $79.8 million, including broker commissions.program, which expires on December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2022,2023, $120.2 million was available under the stock repurchase program to repurchase additional shares of our Class A common stock.

As described in Note 12 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposes a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases in tax years beginning after December 31, 2022 with certain exclusions for (a) repurchased shares for withholding taxes on vested RSUs and (b) treasury shares reissued in the same tax year for settlement of stock option exercises or vesting of RSUs.

Dividends

On February 18, 2022, our board of directors approvedMay 24, 2023, in conjunction with the increaseannouncement of the portiondeclaration of the second quarter 2023 dividend to holders of Class A common stock, we announced that we had initiated an analysis of our capital allocation strategy as part of our commitment to driving long-term growth and maintaining a competitive dividend. After completing the capital allocation strategy analysis during July 2023, we announced on August 1, 2023, that the Board of Directors approved a decrease of the quarterly cash dividend relating to all or a portion$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 was funded entirely from the Excess Tax Distribution (as defined under “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report) to $0.475 per share of Class A, with no portion funded by common stockunit cash distributions from $0.35 per share, which increasedCWGS, LLC. We believe that this decrease in the total quarterly cash dividend will help us continue to $0.625 per shareexecute our expansion plans through accretive RV dealership acquisitions.

For each of Class A common stockthe quarters from $0.50 per share beginning in March 2022. For the three and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 31, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2022,2023, 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 CWGS, LLC and the remainderremaining $0.475 per share of Class A common stock funded with all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution.

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 ─ “OurOur ability to pay regular and special dividends on our Class A common stock is subject to the discretion of our boardBoard of directorsDirectors 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022,2023, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of various RV dealerships comprised of five locationspurchased real property for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $79.8 million (see Note 11 – Acquisitions to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) and purchased real property of $41.7$64.3 million.

We announced a number of initiatives heading into 2022,2023, 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.

ForOver the threenext twelve months, ended December 31, 2022, our expansion of dealerships through acquisition and construction is expected to cost between $160.0$90.0 million and $190.0$130.0 million throughfrom a combination of business acquisitions and capital expenditures relating to land, buildings, and improvements. This amount includesIncluded in this range is $48.3 million related to business acquisitions where, at a minimum, we have already signed a letter of intent with the seller. These cost estimates exclude amounts for acquired inventories, which are primarily financed through our Floor Plan Facility. Additionally, the cost estimates do not consider potential funding received through sale leaseback transactions or other means for real estate and construction activities. We are in the early stages of evaluating

additional dealership acquisition completedopportunities and will update our cost estimates in October 2022 (see Note 11 – Acquisitions to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).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 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. In 2023, we expect to invest between $70.0 million and $100 million on additional business acquisitions and capital expenditures relating to real estate and improvements, but we expect to increase or decrease this range as market conditions and expansion opportunities evolve throughout the year.

2019 Strategic Shift

In connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift during the nine months ended September 30, 2022,2023, we have paid or otherwise settled $2.0 million of lease termination costs and $5.6$2.9 million of other associated costs. We expect that up to approximately $0.2 million to $2.6$1.6 million of other associated costs and $4.6$0.6 million to $18.6$7.6 million of lease termination costs will result in future cash expenditures. The process of identifying 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 certain of the remaining leases under the 2019 Strategic Shift will be under contract to sublease or terminated by December 31, 2023. The remaining ongoing other associated costs, net of associated sublease income, are expected to be immaterial in periods after 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 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). As of September 30, 2022, no used RV inventory was financed by our Floor Plan Facility. See “Summary of Credit Facilities, Other Long-Term Debt, and Finance Lease Arrangements” for a summary of the cash requirements related to our indebtedness.

Cash requirements relating to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, 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 opening of any additional retailRV dealership locations, regular and special quarterly cash dividends (as described above), required payments for our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and additional expenses we expect to incur 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 Revolving Credit Facility, our Floor Plan Facility, our Real Estate Facilities, and our 2022 Real Estate Facility, including theany 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 Revolving Credit Facility, our Floor Plan Facility, our Real Estate Facilities and our 2022 Real Estate Facility is not sufficient, we may have to obtain additional financing. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may impose significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all, 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.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, we had working capital of $675.5$523.7 million, $611.3 million, and $685.6$675.5 million, respectively, including $148.2$53.3 million, $130.1 million, and $267.3$148.2 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Our working capital reflects the cash provided by deferred revenue and gains reported under current liabilities of $101.9$99.8 million, $95.7 million, and $95.5$101.9 million as of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, respectively. Deferred revenue primarily consists of cash collected for 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, 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 September 30, 20222023 was $218.6$207.4 million, all of which could have been withdrawn while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants of the Floor Plan Facility.

We have experienced an increase in interest rates, which are expected to remain elevated throughout 2023 and continuing into 2024. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we entered intothe applicable interest rate for the floor plan notes payable under the Floor Plan Facility was 7.27% and 4.30%, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the average interest rate for the Term Loan Facility was 7.95% and 5.34%, respectively. The increase in interest rates and, to a 2022lesser extent, higher average principal balances on our Real Estate Facility withFacilities have resulted in a maximum principal capacitycombined year-over-year increase of $250.0 million (see definitionsour floor plan interest expense and further details in Note 6 – Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1other interest expense, net of this Form 10-Q). No amounts were borrowed as of the closing of the 2022 Real Estate Facility and we expect to borrow between $100.0$25.0 million and $150.0 under$86.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Real Estate Facility during the fourth quarter of 2022.respectively.

Sale/Leaseback Arrangements

We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-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

end of the initial lease terms. The financial liability is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.2023.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of our sales for products not yet recognized as revenue at the end of a given period. Our deferred revenue as of September 30, 20222023 was $175.2$170.0 million.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, 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 interest rates. This market risk arises in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. The following analysis provides quantitative information regarding this risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Our operating results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, our Floor Plan Facility, and our Real Estate Facilities, and our 2022 Real Estate Facility, which carry 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. Because our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Floor Plan Facility, and Real Estate Facilities and 2022 Real Estate 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.

Based on September 30, 20222023 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 100 basis points in the effective interest rate would cause an increase or decrease in interest expense:

under our Term Loan Facility of $14.1$13.9 million over the next 12 months;
under our Floor Plan Facility of approximately $9.2$10.3 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 $0.2$2.0 million over the next 12 months; and
under our Other Long-Term Debt would be immaterial; and
under our 2022 Real Estate Facilities would not be applicable, since there was no outstanding balance at September 30, 2022.immaterial.

We do not use derivative 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 September 30, 2022.2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we completed the implementation of a corporate performance management (“CPM”) system for performing the consolidation of the financial data from our disparate enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems. The new CPM system is intended to enhance operating efficiencies by automating certain manual procedures and providing more effective financial reporting to our management. As a result of this CPM implementation, certain internal controls over financial reporting have been automated, modified or implemented.

There were no other changes 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 September 30, 2022,2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

See Note 910 – Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Part I of this Form 10-Q.

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, 20212022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022, other than with respect to the risk factors described below.

Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States, and our tax liabilities will be subject to the allocation of expenses in differing jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by a number of factors, including:23, 2023.

changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

expected timing and amount of increases in or release of any tax valuation allowances;

tax effects of equity-based compensation;

costs related to intercompany restructurings; or

changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations thereof.

In addition, we may be subject to audits of our income, sales and other transaction taxes by U.S. federal and state authorities. Outcomes from these audits could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

CWH is able to benefit from certain state combined filing groups due to unitary relationships, which provide additional taxable income sources to utilize CW’s deferred tax assets. CWH’s annual weighted-average ownership in CWGS, LLC of over 50% and other qualitative unity factors impact the unitary relationships. If changes in unitary factors, such as treasury stock repurchases that reduce CWH’s ownership in CWGS, LLC, result in the inability for combined filing for certain states, then additional income tax expense would be recognized for recording an additional valuation allowance against CW’s deferred tax assets. Additionally, this change in filing status would likely decrease CWH’s state tax rates applied against its current taxable income, which would also result in additional tax expense due to the revaluation of its deferred tax assets and other income from the adjustment to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability.
