Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Camping World Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2019 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Camping World Holdings, Inc. (“CWH”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been reflected. All 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 months ended March 31, 2019 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 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, 2018 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. CWH was formed on March 8, 2016 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the “IPO”) and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of CWGS Enterprises, LLC (“CWGS, LLC”). CWGS, LLC was formed in March 2011 when it received, through contribution from its then parent company, all of the membership interests of Affinity Group Holding, LLC and FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC (“FreedomRoads”). The IPO and related reorganization transactions (the “Reorganization Transactions”) that occurred on October 6, 2016 resulted in CWH as the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, with CWH having sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC. Despite its position as sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, CWH has a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC. As of March 31, 2019, CWH owned 41.9% of CWGS, LLC. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial results of CWGS, LLC and reports a non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within its consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income in its consolidated financial statements. Description of the Business CWGS, LLC is a holding company and operates through its subsidiaries. The Company realigned the structure of its internal organization during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company previously had three reportable segments: (i) Consumer Services and Plans; (ii) Dealership, and (iii) Retail. Following the realignment, the Company now has the following two reportable segments: (i) Good Sam Services and Plans and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. In conjunction with the first quarter 2019 realignment of our reporting structure, the company combined our prior Dealership and Retail segments into the RV and Outdoor Retail segment. The Company has also reclassified a portion of the former Consumer Services and Plans segment, the Good Sam Club and co-branded credit card operations, to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment which reflects the synergies of those two programs with the RV and Outdoor Retail locations. The remaining portion of the former Consumer Services and Plans segment is now called the Good Sam Services and Plans segment. The Company’s reportable segment financial information has been recast to reflect the updated reportable segment structure for all periods presented. See Note 17 – Segments Information to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about the Company’s segments. The Company primarily provides Good Sam Services and Plans offerings under its Good Sam brand and provides RV and Outdoor Retail offerings primarily under its Camping World and Gander Outdoors brands. Within the Good Sam Services and Plans segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of the following offerings: emergency roadside assistance; property and casualty insurance programs; travel assist programs; extended vehicle service contracts; vehicle financing and refinancing; shows and events; and publications and directories. Within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of new and used recreational vehicles (“RVs”); the sale of RV products and services, including the sale of parts, accessories, supplies and services for RVs; equipment, gear and supplies for camping, hunting, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, bicycling, skateboarding, marine and watersport and other outdoor activities; commissions on the finance and insurance contracts related to the sale of RVs; and Good Sam Club memberships and co-branded credit cards. The Company primarily operates in various regions throughout the United States and markets its products and services to RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts. Through retail acquisitions and retail expansions, we have expanded our number of retail locations to 226 on March 31, 2019 from 183 on March 31, 2018. The table below summarizes our store locations as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018: March 31, 2019 2018 Co-habited RV and Outdoor Retail locations 131 117 Stand-alone RV locations 16 9 Stand-alone Outdoor Retail locations 79 57 Total locations 226 183 Reclassifications of Prior Period Amounts Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, as discussed in Note 17 — Segment Information, the Company has made changes to its operating segments and transferred certain assets relating to the Good Sam Club and co-branded credit card from its Good Sam Services and Plans segment to its RV and Outdoor Retail segment. Additionally, as a result of these changes, the Company has updated its disaggregated revenue categories to the following: · Good Sam services and plans – includes extended vehicle service contracts, emergency roadside assistance, property and casualty insurance programs, vehicle financing and refinancing, travel protection, consumer shows, directories, consumer magazines, and the Coast to Coast Club; · New vehicles – represents the sale of new RVs; · Used vehicles – represents the sale of used RVs; · Products, service and other – includes repair and maintenance, installation of parts and accessories, collision repair, sales of RV equipment and accessories, sales of outdoor lifestyle products and apparel, and other; · Finance and insurance, net – includes vehicle financing and protection plans typically sold in conjunction with the sale of new and used vehicles; and · Good Sam Club – includes the Good Sam Club and co-branded credit card. Revisions for Correction of Immaterial Errors Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018, errors were identified in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, and related primarily to i) the cancellation reserve for certain of its finance and insurance offerings within the former Dealership segment in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, ii) the calculation of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability that arose from transactions in 2017, iii) the classification in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows of non-cash capital expenditures included in accounts payable and non-cash leasehold improvements paid by lessor in other, net, and iv) the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2018. The Company corrected the errors in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company believes the correction of the errors is immaterial to the previously issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company revised stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2018 to correct these errors as of the beginning of the earliest year presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, resulting in a decrease of $19.1 million from the previously reported amount of $90.8 million to the correct amount of $71.8 million. The following table presents the effect of the error corrections on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period indicated: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 ($ in thousands except per share amounts) As Reported Adjustment As Corrected Revenue - Products, service and other $ 164,308 $ (156) $ 164,152 Revenue - Finance and insurance, net 91,849 (2,749) 89,100 Total revenue 1,061,566 (2,905) 1,058,661 Costs applicable to revenue - Good Sam services and plans (1) 20,423 37 20,460 Costs applicable to revenue - Products, service and other 95,888 (86) 95,802 Costs applicable to revenue - Good Sam Club (1) 2,302 27 2,329 Total costs applicable to revenue 756,790 (22) 756,768 Selling, general and administrative expenses 245,114 1,199 246,313 Total operating expenses 255,023 1,199 256,222 Income from operations 49,753 (4,082) 45,671 Income before income taxes 24,495 (4,082) 20,413 Income tax expense (7,219) 354 (6,865) Net income 17,276 (3,728) 13,548 Net income attributable to non-controlling interests (14,095) 2,368 (11,727) Net income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. 3,181 (1,360) 1,821 Earnings per share of Class A common stock: Basic $ 0.09 $ (0.04) $ 0.05 Diluted $ 0.08 $ (0.03) $ 0.05 (1) Amounts were combined and previously reported as costs applicable to revenue - consumer services and plans prior to reclassifications made for changes in segment reporting as disclosed in Note 17 – Segments Information. The following table presents the effect of the error corrections on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period indicated: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 ($ in thousands except per share amounts) As Reported Adjustment As Corrected Net income $ 17,276 $ (3,728) $ 13,548 Deferred income taxes 2,736 (310) 2,426 Receivables and contracts in transit (56,104) (7,463) (63,567) Inventories (150,918) (2,719) (153,637) Prepaid expenses and other assets 1,675 3,944 5,619 Accounts payable and other accrued expenses 123,987 (1,181) 122,806 Deferred revenue and gains (2,959) 973 (1,986) Other 524 1,732 2,256 Net cash used in operating activities (48,218) (8,752) (56,970) Purchases of property and equipment (52,021) 8,752 (43,269) Net cash used in investing activities (88,418) 8,752 (79,666) Use of Estimates The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company periodically evaluates estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements and makes changes on a prospective basis when adjustments are necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include certain assumptions related to accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, long lived assets, program cancellation reserves, and accruals related to self-insurance programs, estimated tax liabilities and other liabilities. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02” or “ASC 842”). The FASB had subsequently issued several related ASUs that clarified the implementation guidance for certain aspects of ASU 2016-02, which were effective upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02. The amendments in this ASU related to the accounting for leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the lease commencement date and recognize expenses on the income statement in a similar manner to the previous guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases ("ASC 840"). The lease liability is measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments and the right-of-use asset is derived from the calculation of the lease liability adjusted for initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments, and lease incentives. Lease payments include fixed and in-substance fixed payments, variable payments based on an index or rate, reasonably certain purchase options, termination penalties where the lease term reflects the election of a termination option, fees paid by the lessee to the owners of a special-purpose entity for restructuring the transaction, and probable amounts the lessee will owe under a residual value guarantee. Lease payments do not include variable lease payments other than those that depend on an index or rate, any guarantee by the lessee of the lessor’s debt, or any amount allocated to non-lease components. The discount rate used to derive the present value of unpaid lease payments is based on the rates implicit in the lease, or if not available, the incremental borrowing rate. The most significant impact of ASC 842 on the Company’s accounting was the balance sheet impact of its real estate operating leases, which significantly increased assets and liabilities. In addition, ASC 842 eliminated the previous build-to-suit lease accounting guidance and resulted in derecognition of build-to-suit assets and liabilities that remained on the balance sheet after the end of the construction period, including any related deferred taxes. Also, ASC 842 made changes to sale-leaseback accounting to result in the recognition of the gain on the transaction at the time of the sale instead of recognizing over the leaseback period, when the transaction is deemed to be a sale instead of a financing arrangement. ASC 842 further changes the assessment of sale accounting from a transfer of risk and rewards assessment to a transfer of control assessment. The Company elected the package of practical expedients available under the transition provisions of ASC 842, including (i) not reassessing whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) not revaluing initial direct costs for existing leases. Also, the Company elected the practical expedient which allows aggregation of non-lease components with the related lease components when evaluating accounting treatment for equipment and billboard leases. Lastly, the Company applied the modified retrospective adoption method, utilizing the simplified transition option available in ASC 842, which allows entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. The impact of applying ASC 842 effective as of January 1, 2019, to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows was not significant. The major impacts to the balance sheet were 1) the addition of $809.7 million in operating lease assets, 2) the addition of $867.5 million of operating lease liabilities, 3) the removal of approximately $4.9 million, $10.6 million, $7.6 million, and $54.5 million of property and equipment, net; deferred revenues and gains; accrued liabilities; and other liabilities, respectively, and 4) a cumulative-effect adjustment for the adoption of ASC 842 of $3.7 million and $6.3 million was recorded to retained earnings and non-controlling interests, respectively. The adoption of ASC 842 did not impact any of its existing debt covenants. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard requires the use of a forward-looking expected loss impairment model for trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. This standard also requires impairments and recoveries for available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance account and revises certain disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the provisions of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). This standard aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement (i.e., hosting arrangement) with the guidance on capitalizing costs in ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The ASU permits either a prospective or retrospective transition approach. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will adopt ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
