Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2023

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 statement 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, 2022 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, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

CWH has sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC (see Note 15 — 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 September 30, 2022, CWH owned 52.8%, 50.2%, and 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.

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 the 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, which was completed as of September 30, 2022. The Company is continuing to take measures to enhance its IT Systems. Through its investigation, the Company identified that personal information of approximately 30,000 individuals was acquired without authorization, including, depending on the individual, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. The Company complied with notification obligations in accordance with relevant law and cooperated with law enforcement.

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

Table of Contents

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

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

Additionally, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of gross profit tend to be higher in the first and fourth quarters due to the seasonality of the Company’s business.

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This standard clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction that prohibits the sale of 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 early adopted ASU 2021-08 as of January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not materially impact 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. 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

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 requires the amortization of leasehold improvements associated with common control leases over the useful life to 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 September 30, 2022 a contract asset of $18.1 million, $18.4 million and $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, 2023, the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations primarily relating to roadside assistance plans, Good Sam Club memberships, Coast to Coast memberships, the annual campground guide, and magazine publication revenue streams. The total unsatisfied performance obligations

	$	1,869,042	$	2,123,858	$	1,900,127

Substantially all of the Company’s new RV inventory and certain of its used RV inventory, included in the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, is financed by a floor plan credit agreement with a syndication of 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 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, 2023 allowed FR to borrow (a) up to $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 $300.0 million, which was reset and increased by the Floor Plan Amendment 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 future 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%. No incremental funds were drawn at the time of closing of the Floor Plan Amendment.

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, the applicable interest rate for the floor plan notes payable under the Floor Plan Facility was 7.27%, 6.01%, and 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.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, the applicable interest rate for revolving line of credit borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility was 7.62%, 6.21%, and 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 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 September 30, 2022, FR had $207.4 million, $217.7 million, and $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 agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility includes subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management believes that no events have occurred at September 30, 2023 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause. Additionally, the credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility contains certain financial covenants. FR was in compliance with all debt covenants at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

The following table details the outstanding amounts and available borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

(1)

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

(2)	Purchase commitments represent vehicles approved for floor plan financing where the inventory has not yet been received by the Company from the supplier and no floor plan borrowing is outstanding.

4. Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Restructuring – 2019 Strategic Shift

On September 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of CWH approved a plan (the “2019 Strategic Shift”) to strategically shift its business away from locations where the Company does not have the ability or where it is not feasible to sell and/or service RVs at a sufficient capacity (the “Outdoor Lifestyle Locations”). Of the Outdoor Lifestyle Locations in the RV and Outdoor Retail segment operating at September 3, 2019, the Company has closed or divested 39 Outdoor Lifestyle Locations, two distribution centers, and 20 specialty retail locations relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had completed the store closures and divestitures relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed its analysis of its retail product offerings that are not RV related.

As of December 31, 2021, the activities under the 2019 Strategic Shift were completed with the exception of certain lease termination costs and other associated costs relating to the leases of previously closed locations under the 2019 Strategic Shift. The process of identifying subtenants and negotiating lease terminations has been delayed, which initially was 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.

The Company currently estimates the total restructuring costs associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift to be in the range of $122.7 million to $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 was incurred through December 31, 2020;

●

lease termination costs of $20.0 million to $27.0 million, of which $19.4 million has been incurred through September 30, 2023;

●

incremental inventory reserve charges of $57.4 million, all of which was incurred through December 31, 2021; and

●

other associated costs of $44.1 million to $45.7 million, of which $44.1 million has been incurred through September 30, 2023.

Through September 30, 2023, the Company has incurred $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 up to $1.6 million represents similar costs that may be incurred through the year ending December 31, 2023 for locations that continue in a wind-down period, primarily comprised of lease costs accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, prior to lease termination. The Company expects 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. 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.

Lease termination costs exclude the $7.6 million, $0.9 million and $3.9 million of gains from the derecognition of the operating lease assets and liabilities relating to the terminated leases as part of the 2019 Strategic Shift for the 2.5 years ended December 31, 2021, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and for the three months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

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

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

Restructuring – Active Sports

On March 1, 2023, management of the Company determined to implement plans (the “Active Sports Restructuring”) to exit and restructure operations of its indirect subsidiary, Active Sports, LLC, a specialty products retail business (“Active Sports”) as part of its review of underperforming assets and business lines. Upon liquidating a significant amount of inventory and exiting the related distribution centers, the Company reevaluated its exit plan 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

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, which included the determination to close certain locations. Certain of these location closures are expected to occur during the three months ended 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 charges were calculated as the amount that the carrying value of these locations exceeded the estimated fair value, except that individual assets cannot be impaired below their individual fair values when that fair value can be determined without undue cost and effort. Estimated fair value is typically based on estimated discounted future cash flows, while property appraisals or market rent analyses are utilized for determining the fair value of certain assets related to properties and leases.

The following table details long-lived asset impairment charges by type of long-lived asset and by restructuring activity, all of which relate to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment (in thousands):

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

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.

The following table presents the components of assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, was party to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of a $1.4 billion term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company has the ability to request to increase the amount of term loans or revolving loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (a) a “fixed” amount set at $725.0 million and (b) 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters on a pro forma basis (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase.

The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory principal payments in equal quarterly installments of $3.5 million. The December 31, 2022 principal payment was due in January 2023, since December 31, 2022 was on a Saturday. Additionally, the Company is required to prepay the term loan borrowings in an aggregate amount up to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for such fiscal year depending on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined by the Credit Agreement) beginning with the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect that an additional excess cash flow payment will be required relating to 2023.

The funds available under the Revolving Credit Facility may be utilized for borrowings or letters of credit; however, a maximum of $25.0 million may be allocated to such letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in June 2026 and the Term Loan Facility matures in June 2028.

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, the average interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 7.95%, 6.80%, and 5.34%, respectively, and the effective interest rate was 8.19%, 7.03%, and 5.32%, respectively.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries with the exception of FreedomRoads Intermediate Holdco, LLC, the direct parent of FR, and FR, and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants pertaining to, but not limited to, mergers, changes in the nature of the business, acquisitions, additional indebtedness, sales of assets, investments, and the payment of dividends subject to certain limitations and minimum operating covenants. Additionally, management has determined that the Senior Secured Credit Facilities include subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management believes that no events have occurred at September 30, 2023 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause.

The Credit Agreement requires the Borrower and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which covenant is in effect only if, as of the end of each calendar quarter, the aggregate amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility (including swingline loans), letters of credit and unreimbursed letter of credit disbursements outstanding at such time is greater than 35% of the total commitment on the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding (i) up to $15.0 million attributable to any outstanding undrawn letters of credit and (ii) any cash collateralized or backstopped letters of credit), as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 35% threshold, however the Company’s borrowing capacity was reduced by $37.3 million in light of this covenant. The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

Real Estate Facilities

On October 27, 2022, subsidiaries of FRHP Lincolnshire, LLC (“FRHP”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, entered into a credit agreement with a syndication of banks for a real estate credit facility (the “M&T Real Estate Facility”) with aggregate maximum principal capacity of $250.0 million with an option that allows FRHP to request an additional $100.0 million of principal capacity. The lenders under the M&T Real Estate Facility are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase. The M&T Real Estate Facility bears interest at FRHP’s option of either (as defined in the credit agreement for the M&T Real Estate Facility): (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable rate of 2.30% or (b) the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.80%, (ii) the Prime Rate plus 1.30%, or (iii) SOFR plus 2.30%. The M&T Real Estate Facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.20% of the aggregate unused principal amount and it matures in October 2027. Additionally, the M&T Real Estate Facility is subject to a debt service coverage ratio covenant (as defined in the credit agreement for the M&T Real Estate Facility). All obligations under the M&T Real Estate Facility and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by the mortgaged real property assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, FRHP borrowed an additional $59.2 million under the M&T Real Estate Facility.

In November 2018, September 2021 and December 2021, Camping World Property, Inc. (the ‘‘Real Estate Borrower’’), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, and CIBC Bank USA (“Lender”), entered into loan and security agreements for real estate credit facilities (as amended from time to time, the “First CIBC Real Estate Facility”, the “Second CIBC Real Estate Facility”, and the “Third CIBC Real Estate Facility”, respectively, and collectively the “CIBC Real Estate Facilities”) with aggregate maximum principal capacities of $21.5 million, $9.0 million, and $10.1 million for the First CIBC Real Estate Facility, Second CIBC Real Estate Facility, and Third CIBC Real Estate Facility, respectively. Borrowings under the CIBC Real Estate Facilities are guaranteed by CWGS Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC. The CIBC Real Estate Facilities may be used to finance the acquisition of real estate assets. The CIBC Real Estate Facilities are secured by a first priority security interest on the real estate assets acquired with the proceeds of the CIBC Real Estate Facilities (“CIBC Real Estate Facility Properties”).

In June 2023, the Real Estate Borrower sold one of the CIBC Real Estate Facility Properties located in Franklin, Kentucky, which was secured by the Second CIBC Real Estate Facility. As part of the settlement of the property sale, the outstanding balance of the Second CIBC Real Estate Facility of $7.4 million was repaid by the Real Estate Borrower. The First CIBC Real Estate Facility was amended in October 2023 to extend the maturity date from October 2023 to October 2028. The Third CIBC Real Estate Facility matures in December 2026.

The following table shows a summary of the outstanding balances, remaining available borrowings, and weighted average interest rate under the M&T Real Estate Facility and the CIBC Real Estate Facilities (collectively the “Real Estate Facilities”) at September 30, 2023:


	As of September 30, 2023

(1)	Outstanding principal amounts are net of unamortized finance costs.

(2)	Amounts cannot be reborrowed.

(3)	Additional borrowings on the M&T Real Estate Facility are subject to a debt service coverage ratio covenant and to the property collateral requirements under the M&T Real Estate Facility.

(4)	$4.0 million of this amount is classified as liabilities related to assets held for sale (see Note 5 ― Assets Held for Sale).

Management has determined that the credit agreements governing the Real Estate Facilities include subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management believes that no events

have occurred at September 30, 2023 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause. Additionally, the Real Estate Facilities are subject to certain cross default provisions, a debt service coverage ratio, and other customary covenants. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

Other Long-Term Debt

In December 2021, FRHP assumed a mortgage as part of a real estate purchase. This mortgage is secured by the acquired property, is guaranteed by CWGS Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC and matures in December 2026. In June 2023, FRHP assumed a promissory note as part of a real estate purchase. This note is secured by the acquired property and matures in April 2041. As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of these debt instruments was $8.3 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.27%.

Sale-Leaseback Arrangement Recorded as Financing Transaction

On February 8, 2022, FRHP 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 agreed to 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 non-land 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 sheets.

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.

For floor plan notes payable under the Floor Plan Facility, the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.


	Fair Value	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022				September 30, 2022

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Weissmann Complaint

On June 22, 2021, FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC (“FR Holdco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, filed a one-count complaint captioned FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC v. Steve Weissmann in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against Steve Weissmann (“Weissmann”) for breach of contractual obligation under note guarantee (the “Note”) (the “Weissmann Complaint”). On October 8, 2021, Weissmann brought a counterclaim against FR Holdco and third-party defendants Marcus Lemonis, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, the Consumer National Broadcasting Company, Camping World, Inc. (“CW”), and Machete Productions (“Machete”) (the “Weissmann Counterclaim”), in which he alleges claims in connection with the Note and his appearance on the reality television show The Profit. Weissmann alleges the following causes of action against FR Holdco and all third-party defendants, including CW: (i) fraud; (ii) fraud in the inducement; (iii) fraudulent concealment; (iv) breach of fiduciary duty; (v) defamation; (vi) defamation per se; (vii) false light; (viii) intentional infliction of emotional distress; (ix) negligence; (x) unjust enrichment; and (xi) RICO § 1962. Weissmann seeks costs and damages in an amount to be proven at trial but no less than the amount in the Note (approximately $2.5 million); in connection with his RICO claim, Weissmann asserts he is entitled to damages in the amount of three times the Note. On February 18, 2022, NBCUniversal, CNBC, and Machete filed a motion to compel arbitration (the “NBC Arbitration Motion”). On May 5, 2022, an agreed order was filed staying the litigation in favor of arbitration. On May 31, 2022, FR Holdco filed an arbitration demand against Weissmann for collection on the Note. Weissmann filed his response and counterclaims, and third-party claims against FR Holdco, CW, Marcus Lemonis, NBCUniversal, and Machete on July 7, 2022. On or about July 21, 2022, FR Holdco and the other respondents filed their responses and affirmative defenses. The arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin March 11, 2024.

Tumbleweed Complaint

On November 10, 2021, Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, Inc. (“Tumbleweed”) filed a complaint against FR Holdco, CW, Marcus Lemonis, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, and Machete Productions in which Tumbleweed alleges claims in connection with the Note and its appearance on the reality television show The

Table of Contents

Profit (the “Tumbleweed Complaint”), seeking primarily monetary damages. Tumbleweed alleges the following claims against the defendants, including FR Holdco and CW: (i) fraud; (ii) false promise; (iii) breach of fiduciary duty (and aiding and abetting the same); (iv) breach of contract; (v) breach of oral contract; (vi) tortious interference with prospective economic advantage; (vii) fraud in the inducement; (viii) negligent misrepresentation; (ix) fraudulent concealment; (x) conspiracy; (xi) unlawful business practices; (xii) defamation; and (xiii) declaratory judgment. On April 21, 2022, the Court granted a motion to compel arbitration filed by NBCUniversal and joined by all defendants, including FR Holdco, CW, and Marcus Lemonis, compelling Tumbleweed’s claims to arbitration. Tumbleweed served its arbitration demand on FR Holdco, CW, and Marcus Lemonis on May 17, 2022. FR Holdco, CW, and Marcus Lemonis filed responses and affirmative defenses on May 31, 2022. On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the JAMS streamlined arbitration rules, the Tumbleweed Complaint was consolidated together with the Weissmann Complaint. The parties have exchanged discovery. The arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin March 11, 2024.

Precise Complaint

On May 3, 2022, Lynn E. Feldman, Esquire, in her capacity as the Chapter 7 Trustee (the “Trustee”) for the Estate of Precise Graphix, LLC (the “Precise Estate”) filed a complaint against NBCUniversal Media, LLC, Machete Corporation, and CW in which the Trustee alleges claims on behalf of the Precise Estate in connection with its appearance on The Profit and subsequent commercial relationship with CW (the “Precise Complaint”), seeking primarily monetary damages from CW. The Trustee alleges the following claims against defendants, including CW: (i) fraud; (ii) false promise; (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; (iv) breach of contract; (v) breach of oral contract; (vi) fraud in the inducement; (vii) negligent misrepresentation; (viii) fraudulent concealment; (ix) conspiracy; (x) unlawful business practices in violation of California Business and Professions Code §17200; (xi) aiding and abetting; (xii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (xiii) declaratory judgment. The Trustee did not serve the Precise Complaint on CW. On July 3, 2022, the Precise Estate filed its arbitration demand against CW, NBCUniversal, and Machete alleging substantially similar claims as the Precise Complaint. On April 4, 2023, the Precise Estate’s arbitration demand was tried before a single arbitrator pursuant to the JAMS streamlined arbitration rules in a confidential arbitration hearing. On May 31, 2023, the Arbitration was concluded and an award was entered by the Arbitrator against the Precise Estate in the amount of $7.1 million (the “Final Award”), of which CW would be entitled to $3.7 million. On June 13, 2023, the Trustee filed a notice of appeal of the Final Award with JAMS. On June 29, 2023, CW advanced the Trustee’s portion of the fee required by JAMS to advance the appeal. On July 5, 2023, CW filed an application in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the “USBC”) seeking an order, inter alia, allowing the JAMS fee as an administrative expense of the Precise Estate. On July 14, 2023, the Trustee and respondents, including CW, filed a stipulation and agreed order (the “Stipulation”) as follows: (1) upon approval and entry of the Stipulation, CW’s claim for $3,500 shall be allowed and reimbursed; (2) the Trustee will notify JAMS that she is irrevocably withdrawing and ending her pending appeal of the Final Award; and (3) the Trustee will not dispute the amount of the Final Award. On July 17, 2023, the USBC entered the Stipulation as an order, which became final upon the expiration of the ten (10) day appeal period. Precise withdrew its appeal and on August 14, 2023 JAMS closed the arbitration. On September 25, 2023, the Superior Court of the State of California, upon motion by defendants, confirmed the arbitration award. On October 6, 2023, defendants filed an application in the matter of In re: Precise Graphix, LLC, pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking to have the fee award deemed an administrative expense in the Precise Estate. Hearing on the application is set for November 9, 2023.

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.

Table of Contents

Financial Assurances

In the normal course of business, the Company obtains standby letters of credit and surety bonds from financial institutions and other third parties. These instruments guarantee the Company’s future performance and provide third parties with financial and performance assurance in the event that the Company does not perform. These instruments support a wide variety of the Company’s business activities. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, outstanding standby letters of credit issued through our Floor Plan Facility were $11.3 million, $11.4 million, and $11.4 million, respectively, and outstanding standby letters of credit issued through the Senior Secured Credit Facilities were $4.9 million, $4.9 million, and $4.9 million, respectively (see Note 3 — Inventories and Floor Plan Payables and Note 7 — Long-Term Debt). As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, outstanding surety bonds were $24.6 million, $22.0 million, and $20.7 million, respectively. The underlying liabilities to which these instruments relate are reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, where applicable. Therefore, no additional liability is reflected for the letters of credit and surety bonds themselves.

12. Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, subsidiaries of the Company acquired the assets of multiple RV dealerships, as well as an outdoor publication during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, that constituted businesses under GAAP. The Company used cash and borrowings under its Floor Plan Facility to complete the acquisitions. The Company considers acquisitions of independent dealerships to be a fast and capital efficient alternative to opening new RV dealership locations to expand its business and grow its customer base. Additionally, the Company considered the 2022 acquisition of the outdoor publication as a furtherance of its strategy to target a younger demographic of RV enthusiasts. The acquired businesses were recorded at their estimated fair values under the acquisition method of accounting. The balance of the purchase prices in excess of the fair values of net assets acquired were recorded as goodwill.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of various RV dealerships comprised of 15 locations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $150.5 million, of which three RV dealerships had not opened by September 30, 2023. Separate from these acquisitions, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company purchased real property for an aggregate purchase price of $69.5 million, of which $5.2 million was paid through the assumption of the related promissory note (see Note 7 — Long-Term Debt — Other Long-Term Debt).

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of various RV dealerships comprised of five locations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $79.8 million. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Good Sam Services and Plans segment acquired the assets of the outdoor publication for $3.4 million. Separate from these acquisitions, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company purchased real property for an aggregate purchase price of $41.7 million.

The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions discussed above consist of the following, net of insignificant measurement period adjustments relating to acquisitions from the respective previous year:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
($ in thousands)	2023		2022
Tangible assets (liabilities) acquired (assumed):
Accounts receivable, net	$	—	$	(68)

Cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired		150,475		83,227
Inventory purchases financed via floor plan		(70,568)		(19,971)
Cash payment net of floor plan financing	$	79,907	$	63,256

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the fair values above include measurement period adjustments for valuation of acquired inventories relating to dealership acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2022. The measurement period relating to dealership acquisitions is typically open for twelve months from the acquisition date, primarily for refining the estimate of the fair value of acquired vehicle inventories.

The primary items that generated the goodwill are the value of the expected synergies between the acquired businesses and the Company and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualify for recognition as a separately identified intangible asset. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, acquired goodwill of $65.7 million and $49.6 million, respectively, was expected to be deductible for tax purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Good Sam Services and Plans segment acquisition of the outdoor publication resulted in the recognition of intangible assets for trademarks and trade names of $2.1 million and other intangible assets of $0.5 million with estimated useful lives of 15 years and 3 years, respectively.

Included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were revenue of $60.5 million and $39.4 million, respectively, and pre-tax loss of $2.4 million and pre-tax income of $1.4 million, respectively, from the acquired dealerships from the applicable acquisition dates. Pro forma information on these acquisitions has not been included, because the Company has deemed them to not be individually or cumulatively material.

In October 2023, the Company announced its intent to acquire the assets of a consortium of twelve RV dealerships. The reasons for this acquisition and the primary items generating the goodwill are consistent with the previous RV dealership acquisitions discussed above. The Company anticipates that the acquisition will close by December 31, 2023.

13. Income Taxes

CWH is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, as of September 30, 2023, is a 52.8% owner of CWGS, LLC (see Note 16 — Non-Controlling Interests). 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. However, certain CWGS, LLC subsidiaries, including Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc. and FreedomRoads RV, Inc. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, are subject to entity-level taxes as they are Subchapter C corporations (“C-Corps”).

LLC Conversion

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.7 million related to the LLC Conversion. Additionally, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $4.3 million related to an entity classification election for an entity included in the LLC Conversion filed in the third quarter of 2023. The election is effective as of the date of the LLC Conversion.

Effective Income Tax Rate

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's effective income tax rate was 14.9%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies, which are not subject to 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 entity level taxes, net of income tax benefits of $0.8 million related to current state combined unitary losses. 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 (see Note 15 — Stockholders’ Equity). These treasury stock repurchases result in a commensurate reduction in common units in CWGS, LLC held by CWH.

On January 1, 2023, giftees of common units that had been gifted by CWGS Holding, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ML Acquisition Company, LLC, which is indirectly owned by Marcus Lemonis, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, redeemed 2.0 million common units in CWGS, LLC for 2.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (see Note 16 — Non-Controlling Interests). The increase in deferred tax assets, the non-current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, and additional paid-in capital resulting from these redemptions was $6.3 million, $5.4 million, and $0.9 million, respectively. Payments pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement relating to these redemptions will begin during the year ending December 31, 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and the related Deferred Tax Assets for the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and the investment in CWGS, LLC increased $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as a result of a Continuing Equity Owner’s redemption of 50,000 common units in CWGS, LLC for 50,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and were recorded to additional paid-in capital (see the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity). Payments pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement relating to this redemption began during the year ending December 31, 2023.

15. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not repurchase Class A common stock under the stock repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 2,592,524 shares of Class A common stock under this program for approximately $79.8 million, including commissions paid, at a weighted average price per share of $30.76, which was recorded as treasury stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Class A common stock held as treasury stock is not considered outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company reissued 339,230 and 540,646 shares of Class A common stock from treasury stock, respectively, to settle the exercises of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units.

Table of Contents

Repurchases under the stock repurchase program are subject to any applicable limitations on the availability of funds to be distributed to the Company by CWGS, LLC to fund repurchases and may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at the Company’s discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Board’s discretion. The Company expects to fund the repurchases using cash on hand. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining approved amount for repurchases of Class A common stock under the share repurchase program was approximately $120.2 million and the program expires on December 31, 2025.

16. Non-Controlling Interests

CWH is the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of CWGS, LLC. The Company reports a non-controlling interest representing the common units of CWGS, LLC held by Continuing Equity Owners. Changes in CWH’s ownership interest in CWGS, LLC while CWH retains its controlling interest in CWGS, LLC will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions of common units of CWGS, LLC by the Continuing Equity Owners will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when CWGS, LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. At the end of each period, the Company will record a non-controlling interest adjustment to additional paid-in capital such that the non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is equal to the non-controlling interest’s ownership share of the underlying CWGS, LLC net assets (see the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity).

The following table summarizes the CWGS, LLC common unit ownership by CWH and the Continuing Equity Owners:

On January 1, 2023, the 2022 Common Unit Giftees redeemed the 2,000,000 common units of CWGS, LLC for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which also resulted in the cancellation of

18. Earnings Per Share

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

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

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 stockholders 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, 2023, we operated a total of 209 locations which sell and/or service 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.

A summary of the changes in quantities and types of retail stores and changes in same stores from September 30, 2022 to September 30, 2023, are in the table below:

Industry Trends

According to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers, which almost entirely focuses on North America, wholesale shipments of new RVs for 2022 were 493,268 units, 17.8% less than in 2021, the all-time record year for shipments, but was still the third best year on record. Wholesale shipments of new RVs for the first nine months of 2023 were 42.8% less than the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to reduced shipments of towable vehicles.

Thor Industries, our largest supplier of RVs, disclosed in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2023 that its North American RV order backlog had declined 67% compared to July 31, 2022, primarily as a result of a reduction in orders from independent dealers. Thor Industries also disclosed that it believes that as of July 31, 2023, the North American RV independent dealer inventory levels were generally higher than comfortable stocking levels for most of its towable products and generally aligned with desired levels for its motorized products.

The per unit cost of new vehicles has been significantly higher than we experienced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the RV manufacturers’ supply constraints, strong demand for new vehicles during the pandemic, higher inflation, and higher interest rates. These higher costs had been partially mitigated by the higher average selling prices on new vehicles, but we experienced a decrease in new vehicle gross margins during the year ended December 31, 2022, which has continued 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 may continue to reduce new vehicle gross profit per unit. We will continue to evaluate supplier pricing and the mix of our vehicle offerings, such as lower-priced towables, among other criteria, as part of our vehicle procurement process.

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced the impact of inflation on our operations, particularly with the increased cost of new vehicles. The price risk relating to new vehicles includes the cost from the manufacturer, as well as freight and logistics costs. Each of these costs have been impacted, to differing degrees, by factors such as high demand for product, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and increased fuel costs, some of which were caused, in part, by the COVID-19 pandemic. These cost pressures began to recede during the third quarter of 2023 and we expect this trend to continue into 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 RV dealership locations and constructing new RV dealership locations is subject to inflationary increases in the costs of labor and material, which results in higher rent expense on new RV dealership locations. Finally, our credit agreements include interest rates that vary based on various benchmarks. Such rates have historically increased during periods of increasing inflation.

Restructuring

In 2019, we made a strategic decision to refocus our business around our core RV competencies (the “2019 Strategic Shift”). The Company does not expect to close additional locations or incur further one-time termination benefits or incremental reserve charges in connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift. The remaining potential 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 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 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, CWH is organized as a C-Corp and, as of September 30, 2023, is a 52.8% owner of CWGS, LLC. CWGS, LLC is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and, as such is generally not subject to any U.S. federal entity-level income taxes (“Pass-Through”), with the exception of Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc. and FreedomRoads RV, Inc., and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are 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

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 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 three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company used effective income tax rate assumptions of 25.1% and 25.4%, respectively, for income adjustments applicable to CWH when calculating the adjusted net income 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.

The following table presents the allocation of CWGS, LLC’s C-Corp and Pass-Through net income to CWH, the allocation of CWGS, LLC’s net income to non-controlling interests, income tax expense recognized by CWH, and other items:

Revenue and Gross Profit

Good Sam Services and Plans

Good Sam Services and Plans revenue decreased primarily from favorable adjustments to roadside assistance cancellation assumptions in the prior year that were not recurring in the current year, partially offset by increased contracts in force from the Good Sam Insurance Agency programs.

Good Sam Services and Plans gross profit increased primarily due to a nonrecurring $5.5 million in savings from finalizing contract negotiations to exit an arrangement with a service partner in the current year in addition to reduced program costs, increased contracts in force from the Good Sam Insurance Agency programs, and reduced expenses for the extended vehicle warranty programs. Gross margin increased in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the nonrecurring contract termination fee agreed to with a service partner in the current year and our efforts to reduce expenses.

RV and Outdoor Retail

New Vehicles

New vehicles revenue decreased primarily due to a 13.7% decrease in new vehicles sold and a 5.7% decrease in the average selling price per new vehicle sold. On a same store basis, new vehicles revenue decreased 26.1% to $602.0 million and new vehicles sold decreased 21.5%.

New vehicles gross profit decreased primarily due to the 13.7% decrease in new vehicles sold and a 5.7% decrease in the average selling price per new vehicle sold, partially offset by a 1.1% decrease in the average cost per new vehicle sold. The decrease in new vehicles gross margin was primarily due to the decreased average selling price per new vehicle sold.

Used Vehicles

Used vehicles revenue increased primarily due to an 18.4% increase in used vehicles sold, driven by an increase in demand for used vehicles, as they are a lower-cost alternative to new vehicles, partially offset by a 5.2% decrease in the average selling price per used vehicle sold. On a same store basis, used vehicles revenue increased 4.1% to $535.5 million and used vehicles sold increased 10.9%.

Used vehicles gross profit decreased primarily due to a 5.2% decrease in the average price per used vehicle sold and a 1.3% increase in the average cost per used vehicle sold, partially offset by an 18.4% increase in used vehicles sold. Used vehicle gross margin decreased primarily due to a 5.2% decrease in the average selling price per used vehicle sold.

Products, service and other

Products, service and other revenue decreased primarily due to lower demand and lower stocking levels of lifestyle and activities, and design and home products, as well as a reduction in demand for our RV furniture distribution business as RV manufacturers slowed RV production. Revenues were also impacted negatively by our Active Sports Restructuring. On a same store basis, products, service and other revenue

Table of Contents

decreased 13.0% to $180.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Products, service and other gross profit decreased primarily due to the demand trends noted above and discounting of Active Sports merchandise in conjunction with the Active Sports Restructuring. The increase in products, service and other gross margin was primarily due to higher labor billing rates.

Finance and Insurance, net

Finance and insurance revenue and gross profit is recorded net, since the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction, and commission is recognized when a finance and insurance product contract payment has been received or financing has been arranged. Finance and insurance, net revenue decreased slightly, which was primarily a result of lower average selling prices of new and used vehicles, partially offset by $8.1 million of favorable adjustments to cancellation reserve assumptions. Finance and insurance, net revenue as a percentage of new and used vehicle revenue was 12.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase from 12.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. On a same store basis, finance and insurance, net revenue decreased 9.4%, or $15.2 million, to $146.1 million versus the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Good Sam Club

Good Sam Club revenue remained relatively unchanged from the prior year primarily due to a slight reduction in marketing fee revenue from the Good Sam Club branded credit card partially offset by increased Good Sam Club memberships.

Good Sam Club gross margin increased primarily due to reduced marketing expenses.

Operating Expenses and Other

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to approximately $11.5 million of reduced advertising expenses, partially offset by increased employee compensation costs of $3.6 million and increased facility costs related to the 16 additional store locations added during the twelve months ended September 30, 2023.

Equity-based compensation expenses, included in the employee compensation costs referred to above, decreased $1.3 million (See Note 17 — Equity-Based Compensation to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) resulting primarily from fewer weighted-average restricted stock units outstanding from significantly fewer restricted stock units granted in 2022 and 2023 compared to any of the years from 2017 to 2021.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Long-lived asset impairment was $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. 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.

Floor plan interest expense

The significant increase in floor plan interest expense was primarily due to a 331 basis point increase in the average floor plan borrowing rate, in addition to an increase in the average floor plan balance. The

Table of Contents

average interest rates for the Floor Plan Facility for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 7.36% and 4.05%, respectively.

Other interest expense, net

Other interest expense, net increased primarily due to a 304 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.

Tax Receivable Agreement Liability adjustment

The Tax Receivable Agreement Liability adjustment for 2023 consisted of a benefit of $1.7 million related to a remeasurement from a decrease in blended state income tax rates.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense decreased primarily due to lower income generated from CWGS, LLC for which the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes on its allocable share and a $4.3 million benefit for certain entity classification elections relating to the LLC Conversion.

Table of Contents

Good Sam Services and Plans

Good Sam Services and Plans segment income increased primarily due to a nonrecurring $5.5 million in savings from finalizing contract negotiations to exit an arrangement with a service partner in the current year in addition to reduced program costs, increased contracts in force from the Good Sam Insurance Agency programs, and reduced expenses for the extended vehicle warranty programs. Segment income margin increased 1,784 basis points to 65.3% primarily due to the nonrecurring contract termination fee from a service partner in the current year and our efforts to reduce expenses.

RV and Outdoor Retail

RV and Outdoor Retail segment revenue decreased primarily due to a $155.1 million, or 18.6%, decrease in new vehicles revenue, a $33.4 million, or 12.4%, decrease in products, service and other revenue, a $5.3 million, or 3.1%, decrease in finance and insurance, net revenue, and a $0.1 million, or 0.9%, decrease in Good Sam Club revenue, partially offset by a $64.4 million, or 12.2%, increase in used vehicles revenue.

RV and Outdoor Retail segment income decreased primarily due to decreased segment gross profit of $78.1 million primarily relating to reduced average selling price per vehicle sold and a $10.3 million increase in floor plan interest expense, partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses (see discussion of selling, general and administrative expenses above for the similar drivers of this change). RV and Outdoor Retail segment income margin decreased to 3.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 7.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due lower average new and used selling price per vehicle.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Good Sam Services and Plans

Good Sam Services and Plans revenue increased primarily due to increased contracts in force from the extended vehicle warranty and Good Sam Insurance Agency programs, partially offset by a reduction from the Good Sam TravelAssist programs.

Good Sam Services and Plans gross profit and gross margin increased primarily due to a nonrecurring $5.5 million in savings from finalizing contract negotiations to exit an arrangement with a service partner in the

Table of Contents

current year and increased contracts in force from the roadside assistance, extended vehicle warranty, and Good Sam Insurance Agency programs, in addition to our efforts to reduce expenses.

RV and Outdoor Retail

New Vehicles

New vehicles revenue decreased primarily due to a 20.0% decrease in new vehicles sold, and, to a lesser extent, a 3.2% decrease in the average selling price per new vehicle sold. On a same store basis, new vehicles revenue decreased 27.7% to $1.9 billion and new vehicles sold decreased 25.2%.

New vehicles gross profit decreased primarily due to a 20.0% decrease in new vehicles sold, a 3.2% decrease in the average selling price per vehicle sold, and a 4.3% increase in the average cost of new vehicles sold. New vehicle gross margin decreased 609 basis points primarily due to compression from the higher cost per new unit sold and the lower average selling price of new vehicles.

Used Vehicles

Used vehicles revenue increased primarily due to a 15.5% increase in vehicles sold, driven by an increase in demand for used vehicles, as they are a lower-cost alternative to new vehicles, partially offset by a 3.3% decrease in average selling price per used vehicle sold. On a same store basis, used vehicles revenue increased 4.8% to $1.5 billion and used vehicles sold increased 9.0%.

Used vehicles gross profit decreased 3.3% primarily due to a 3.3% decrease in average price per used vehicle sold and a 1.0% increase in the cost per used vehicle sold, partially offset by 15.5% increase in used vehicles sold. Used vehicle gross margin decreased 332 basis points primarily due to the decrease in the average selling price per used vehicle and compression from the higher cost per used vehicle sold.

Products, service and other

Products, service and other gross profit and gross margin decreased versus the prior year primarily due to the demand trends noted above, discounting to reduce inventory levels, discounting of Active Sports merchandise in conjunction with the Active Sports Restructuring, and compression from higher costs.

Finance and Insurance, net

Finance and insurance revenue and gross profit is recorded net, since the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction, and commission is recognized when a finance and insurance product contract payment has been received or financing has been arranged. Finance and insurance, net revenue decreased primarily due to the 5.6% decrease in total vehicles sold, partially offset by $8.1 million of favorable adjustments to cancellation reserve assumptions. Finance and insurance, net revenue as a percentage of new and used vehicle revenue was 12.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase from 12.1% for the

Table of Contents

nine months ended September 30, 2022. On a same store basis, finance and insurance, net revenue decreased 16.4%, or $82.7 million, to $422.7 million versus the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Good Sam Club

Good Sam Club revenue decreased 3.7% primarily due to reduced marketing fee revenue from the Good Sam Club branded credit card.

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

Operating Expenses and Other

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to approximately $39.1 million of reduced advertising expenses and decreased employee compensation costs of $23.2 million, partially offset by increased facility costs related to the net 16 additional store locations added during the twelve months ended September 30, 2023 and increases in professional service fees.

Equity-based compensation expenses, included in the employee compensation costs referred to above, decreased $9.1 million (See Note 17 — Equity-Based Compensation to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) resulting primarily from (i) $2.8 million less expense related to the modification of restricted stock units to accelerate and/or continue vesting under employee separation agreements, post-termination consulting arrangements, and/or transition agreements, and (ii) fewer weighted-average restricted stock units outstanding from significantly fewer restricted stock units granted in 2022 and 2023 compared to any of the years from 2017 to 2021.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily from $8.8 million of incremental accelerated amortization during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the adjustment of the useful lives of certain trademark and trade name intangible assets associated with brands not traditionally associated with RVs that we were phasing out, and reduced capital expenditures. These trademark and trade name intangible assets were fully amortized as of March 31, 2022.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Long-lived asset impairment was $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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.

Floor plan interest expense

The significant increase in floor plan interest expense was primarily due to a 405 basis point increase in the average floor plan borrowing rate. The average interest rates for the Floor Plan Facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 6.90% and 2.84%, respectively.

Other interest expense, net

Other interest expense, net increased primarily due to a 371 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 7.48% and 3.77%, respectively.

Table of Contents

Other expense, net

Other expense, net increased primarily as a result of a $1.3 million impairment of an equity method investment.

Tax Receivable Agreement Liability adjustment

The Tax Receivable Agreement Liability adjustment for 2023 consisted of a benefit of $1.7 million related to a remeasurement from a decrease in blended state income tax rates.

Table of Contents

warranty, and Good Sam Insurance Agency programs, in addition to our efforts to reduce expenses. Segment income margin increased 973 basis points to 56.1%.

RV and Outdoor Retail

RV and Outdoor Retail segment revenue decreased primarily due to a $620.5 million, or 22.6%, decrease in new vehicles revenue, a $71.2 million, or 9.3%, decrease in products, service and other revenue, a $65.9 million, or 12.5%, decrease in finance and insurance, net revenue, and a $1.3 million, or 3.7%, decrease in Good Sam Club revenue, partially offset by a $173.4 million, or 11.7%, increase in used vehicles revenue.

RV and Outdoor Retail segment income decreased primarily due to a 5.6% reduction in total vehicles sold, and decreased segment gross profit of $346.4 million, relating to reduced vehicles sold, which also tends to result in a correlating decrease in finance and insurance, net revenue, and reduced price per vehicle sold, a $36.8 million increase in floor plan interest expense, and a $5.8 million increase in long-lived asset impairment, partially offset by a $40.1 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses (see discussion of selling, general and administrative expenses above for the similar drivers of this change), and a $5.4 million increase in gain on sale or disposal of assets. RV and Outdoor Retail segment income margin decreased to 3.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 9.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to reduced average prices and increased average costs per vehicle sold for the nine months ended September 30, 3023 versus the comparable period in 2022.

Corporate and other expenses

The decrease in corporate and other expenses was primarily due to the fees incurred in the first quarter of 2022 relating to the cybersecurity incident in February 2022 that were not recurring in 2023, partially offset by increased professional fees.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the 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, 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.

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:

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

We define “Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic” as net income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, 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, other unusual or one-time items, the income tax expense effect of these adjustments, and the effect of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from these adjustments.

We define “Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic adjusted for the reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from stock options and restricted stock units, if dilutive, or the assumed redemption, if dilutive, of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for shares of newly-issued Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc.

Table of Contents

We define “Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Basic” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. - Basic divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. We define “Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Diluted” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (i) the redemption of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc., if dilutive, and (ii) the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units, if any. We present 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 because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

(a)

(b)

Represents the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit effect of the above adjustments. For periods that ended on or before December 31, 2022, many of these adjustments were related to entities with full valuation allowances for which no tax benefit could be recognized. This assumption uses effective tax rates between 25.1% and 25.4% for the adjustments for the 2023 and 2022 periods, which represent the estimated tax rates that would apply had the above adjustments been included in the determination of our non-GAAP metric.

(c)

Represents the loss on termination of operating leases resulting from the lease termination fees and the derecognition of the operating lease assets and liabilities. 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 for additional information.

(d)

Represents an adjustment to eliminate the gains and losses on disposals and sales of various assets.

(e)

Represents non-cash equity-based compensation expense relating to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.

(f)

Represents an adjustment to eliminate the gain on remeasurement of the Tax Receivable Agreement primarily due to changes in our blended statutory income tax rate. See Note 13 ― Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

(g)

Represents restructuring costs relating to Active Sports Restructuring during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and our 2019 Strategic Shift for periods that ended on or before December 31, 2022. These restructuring costs include one-time termination benefits, incremental inventory reserve charges, and other associated costs. These costs exclude lease termination costs, which are presented separately above. 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 for additional information.

(h)

Represents loss and impairment on investments in equity securities and interest income relating to any notes receivables with those investments for periods beginning after December 31, 2022. Amounts relating to periods prior to 2023 were not significant. These amounts are included in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, this amount included a $1.3 million impairment on an equity method investment.

(i)

Represents the adjustment to net income attributable to non-controlling interests resulting from the above adjustments that impact the net income of CWGS, LLC. This adjustment uses the non-controlling interest’s weighted average ownership of CWGS, LLC of 47.3% and

Table of Contents

50.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 47.3% and 49.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(j)

Represents the reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from the impact of the assumed change in ownership of CWGS, LLC from stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.

(k)

Represents the income tax expense effect of the above adjustment for reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests. This assumption uses effective tax rates between 25.1% and 25.4% for the adjustments for the 2023 and 2022 periods.

(l)

As a result of the LLC Conversion, this adjustment only relates to periods ended on or before December 31, 2022. Typically represents adjustments to reflect the income tax benefit of losses of consolidated C-Corps that under the Company’s previous equity structure, prior to the LLC Conversion, could not be used against the income of other consolidated subsidiaries of CWGS, LLC. Subsequent to the redemption of all common units in CWGS, LLC and prior to the LLC Conversion, the Company believes certain actions could have been taken such that the C-Corps’ losses could offset income of other consolidated subsidiaries. The adjustment reflects the income tax benefit assuming effective tax rate of 25.4% during 2022 for the losses experienced by the consolidated C-Corps for which valuation allowances had been recorded. No assumed release of valuation allowance established for previous periods were included in these amounts. Beginning in 2023, these C-Corp losses offset income of other consolidated subsidiaries as a result of LLC Conversion at or around December 31, 2022.

(m)

Represents the impact to the denominator for stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.

(n)

The below amounts have not been considered in our adjusted earnings per share – diluted amounts as the effect of these items are anti-dilutive.

(o)

Represents the per share impact of the Non-GAAP adjustments to net income detailed above (see (a) through (h) above).

(p)

Represents the per share impact of stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC from the difference in their dilutive impact between the GAAP and Non-GAAP earnings per share calculations.

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 RV 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).

As a public company, our additional liquidity needs include public company costs, payment of 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

Table of Contents

and therefore may accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For a discussion of the Tax Receivable Agreement, see Note 13 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we did not repurchase Class A common stock under our stock repurchase program, which expires on December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2023, $120.2 million was available under the stock repurchase program to repurchase additional shares of our Class A common stock.

Dividends

On May 24, 2023, in conjunction with the announcement of the declaration 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 to $0.125 per share of Class A common stock from $0.625 per share, beginning with the quarterly cash dividend to be paid in September 2023. This dividend was funded entirely from the Excess Tax Distribution (as defined under “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report), with no portion funded by common unit cash distributions from CWGS, LLC. We believe that this decrease in the quarterly cash dividend will help us continue to execute our expansion plans through accretive RV dealership acquisitions.

For each of the quarters from the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2023, we paid a 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 remaining $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 ─ Our ability to pay regular and special dividends on our Class A common stock is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and may be limited by our structure and statutory restrictions” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment purchased real property for an aggregate purchase price of $64.3 million.

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

Over the next twelve months, our expansion of dealerships through acquisition and construction is expected to cost between $90.0 million and $130.0 million from a combination of business acquisitions and capital expenditures relating to land, buildings, and improvements. Included 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

Table of Contents

additional dealership acquisition opportunities and will update our cost estimates in future periodic reports, if necessary, as there are further developments. Factors that could impact the quantity of future locations or the cost to acquire or open those locations include, but are not limited to, our ability to locate potential acquisition targets or greenfield locations in a geographic area and at a cost that meets our success criteria; continued strong cash flow generation from our operations to fund these acquisitions and new locations; and availability of financing on our Floor Plan Facility. We expect the additional cash requirements of the other announced initiatives to be immaterial.

2019 Strategic Shift

In connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we paid or otherwise settled $2.9 million of other associated costs. We expect that up to approximately $1.6 million of other associated costs and $0.6 million to $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). 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 RV dealership locations, quarterly cash dividends (as described above), required payments for our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and additional expenses we expect to incur 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, including any potential additional borrowings, 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 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.

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, we had working capital of $523.7 million, $611.3 million, and $675.5 million, respectively, including $53.3 million, $130.1 million, and $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 $99.8 million, $95.7 million, and $101.9 million as of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and 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, 2023 was $207.4 million, all of which could have been withdrawn while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants of the Floor Plan Facility.

Seasonality

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income, and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in our business (see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Seasonality to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).

Cash Flow

The following table shows summary cash flow information for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	543,273	$	523,919
Net cash used in investing activities		(277,535)		(239,305)
Net cash used in financing activities		(342,551)		(403,711)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(76,813)	$	(119,097)

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

Net cash provided by operating activities was $543.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $19.4 million from $523.9 million of net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $416.6 million increase in the working capital adjustment for inventory, an $8.8 million increase in the working capital adjustment for prepaid expenses and other assets, and a $5.8 million increase in long-lived asset impairment, partially offset by a $307.7 million reduction in net income, a $39.7 million decrease in the working capital adjustment for accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $26.9 million decrease in the working capital adjustment for accounts receivable and contracts in transit, an $11.9 million decrease in depreciation and amortization, a $9.1 million decrease in equity-based compensation, a $6.6 million decrease in deferred revenue, a $5.4 million increase in gain on sale or disposal of assets, and a $3.2 million decrease in deferred income taxes.

Investing activities. Our investment in business activities primarily consists of expanding our operations through organic growth and the acquisition of RV dealership locations. Substantially all of our new RV dealership locations and capital expenditures have been financed using cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our various credit facilities, other long-term debt, and finance lease arrangements, as applicable (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).

Our capital expenditures consist primarily of investing in acquired and greenfield retail and RV dealership locations, existing retail locations, information technology, hardware, and software. The expected minimum capital expenditures relating to new dealerships and real estate purchases through December 31, 2023 are discussed above. As of September 30, 2023, we had entered into contracts for construction of new dealership buildings for an aggregate future commitment of capital expenditures of $31.4 million. There were no other material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities was $277.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $277.5 million of cash used in investing activities was comprised of $150.5 million for the acquisition of RV dealerships, net of cash acquired, $95.6 million of capital expenditures primarily related to retail locations, $64.3 million for the purchases of real property, $3.4 million for the purchase of and loans to other investments, and $2.0 million for the purchases of intangible assets, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of real property of $35.6 million and proceeds of $2.7 million from the sale of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities was $239.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

See Note 12 – Acquisitions to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Financing activities. Our financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from the issuance of debt, the repayment of principal, cash dividends to holders of Class A common stock, and cash distributions to holders of CWGS, LLC common units.

Our net cash used in financing activities was $342.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $342.6 million of cash used in financing activities was primarily due to $273.5 million of net payments on borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility, $61.2 million of dividends paid on Class A common stock, $26.6 million of payments on long-term debt, $31.6 million of member distributions, $4.2 million for finance lease payments, $4.1 million of withholding taxes paid upon the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and $0.9 million for debt issuance costs payments, partially offset by $59.2 million of proceeds from long-term debt and by $0.3 million of proceeds from exercise of stock options.

Summary of Credit Facilities, Other Long-Term Debt, and Finance Lease Arrangements

The following table shows a summary of the outstanding balances, current portion, and remaining available borrowings under our credit facilities and other long-term debt and finance lease arrangements (see definitions and further details in Note 3 – Inventories and Floor Plan Payables, Note 7 – Long-Term Debt, and Note 8 – Leases to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) at September 30, 2023:

(1)

The unencumbered borrowing capacity for the Floor Plan Facility represents the additional borrowing capacity less any accounts payable for sold inventory and less any purchase commitments. Additional borrowings are subject to the vehicle collateral requirements under the Floor Plan Facility. In July 2023, an amendment to the Floor Plan Facility increased the borrowing capacity under the floor plan notes payable by $150.0 million.

(2)

The revolving line of credit borrowings are limited by a borrowing base calculation but were not limited as of September 30, 2023.

(3)

The Revolving Credit Facility remaining available balance was reduced by outstanding undrawn letters of credit. The Credit Agreement requires compliance with a Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant when borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding certain amounts relating to letters of credit) is over a 35%, or $22.8 million, threshold (Note 7 – Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). The otherwise remaining available borrowings of $60.1 million were reduced by $37.3 million in light of this financial covenant at September 30, 2023.

(4)

Includes $4.0 million outstanding and $0.2 million current portion that are classified as liabilities related to assets held for sale (see Note 5 – Assets Held for Sale).

(5)

Additional borrowings on the Real Estate Facilities are subject to a debt service coverage ratio covenant and to the property collateral requirements under the Real Estate Facilities.

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, the 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 lesser extent, higher average principal balances on our Real Estate Facilities have resulted in a combined year-over-year increase of our floor plan interest expense and other interest expense, net of $25.0 million and $86.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 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, 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, 2023 was $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, 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 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, 2023 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 $13.9 million over the next 12 months;

•

under our Floor Plan Facility of approximately $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 $2.0 million over the next 12 months; and

•

under our Other Long-Term Debt would be immaterial.

Table of Contents

See “Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

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, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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