Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(All tabular amounts presented in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of REV Group, Inc. (“REV” or “the Company”) and all its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise noted) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Related Party Transactions: During the three months ended January 31, 2025, the Company did not have any related party transactions. During the three months ended January 31, 2024, the Company reimbursed expenses of its former equity sponsor of $0.2 million. These expenses are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncement - Adopted
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04 “Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations”. The amendments in this ASU require that a company that uses a supplier finance program in connection with the purchase of goods or services disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollfoward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted ASU 2022-04 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, except for the amendment on rollforward information which we will adopt for our annual reporting in fiscal year 2025. Refer to Note 3, Supply Chain Finance Program, for further details.
Accounting Pronouncements - To Be Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. The amendments in this ASU require public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt the annual requirements of ASU 2023-07 in fiscal year 2025 and are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. This update requires public entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation on an annual basis, and to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, this ASU requires that public entities disclose certain disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations and income tax expense or benefit. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt ASU 2023-09 in fiscal year 2026 and are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Revenue Recognition
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized from contracts with customers with product shipment destinations in North America. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights and payment terms of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company determines the transaction price for each contract at inception based on the consideration that it expects to receive for the goods and services promised under the contract. The transaction price excludes sales and usage-based taxes collected and certain “pass-through” amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company has elected to expense incremental costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period of the related asset is expected to be less than one year.
The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated from the manufacture and sale of specialty and recreational vehicles through its direct sales force and dealer network. The Company also generates revenue through separate contracts that relate to the sale of aftermarket parts and services. Revenue is typically recognized at a point-in-time, when control is transferred, which generally occurs when the product has been shipped to the customer or when it has been picked-up from the Company’s manufacturing facilities. Shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control are fulfillment costs that are recorded in Cost of sales in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) when incurred or when the related product revenue is recognized, whichever is earlier. Periodically, certain customers may request bill and hold transactions according to the terms in the contract. In such cases, revenue is not recognized until after control has transferred which is generally when the customer has requested such transaction and has been notified that the product (i) has been completed according to customer specifications, (ii) has passed our quality control inspections, (iii) has been separated from our inventory and is ready for physical transfer to the customer, and (iv) the Company cannot use the product or redirect the product to another customer. Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the unit’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The Company is generally entitled to bill its customers upon satisfaction of its performance obligations, and payment is usually received shortly after billing. Payments for certain contracts are received in advance of satisfying the related performance obligations. Such payments are recorded as Customer advances in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company reduces the customer advance balances when the Company transfers control of the promised good or service. During the three months ended January 31, 2025, and January 31, 2024, the Company recognized $35.0 million and $48.8 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the customer advance balances of $318.1 million and $357.4 million as of October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s payment terms do not include a significant financing component outside of the Specialty Vehicles segment. Within the Specialty Vehicles segment, customers earn interest on customer advances at a rate determined at contract inception. The Company incurred interest charges on customer advances during the three months ended January 31, 2025 and January 31, 2024 of $2.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The interest charges were recorded in Interest expense in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company does not have significant contract assets.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of January 31, 2025, the Company had unsatisfied performance obligations for non-cancelable contracts with an original duration greater than one year totaling $3,182.5 million, of which $1,296.8 million is expected to be satisfied and recognized in revenue in the next twelve months and $1,885.7 million is expected to be satisfied and recognized in revenue thereafter.
Note 3. Supply Chain Finance Program
The Company has an unsecured agreement with a third-party financial institution to facilitate a supply chain finance (“SCF”) program. The SCF program allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables due from the Company, on an invoice level at the selection of the supplier, to the financial institution and negotiate their outstanding receivable arrangements and associated fees directly with the financial institution. The Company is not party to the agreements between the supplier and the financial institution. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program require payment in full by the Company within 120 days of the invoice date.
All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF program are confirmed with the third-party financial institution and are recorded in Accounts payable in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s outstanding obligation under the SCF program as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 was $9.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

Estimated future amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal year 2025 and each of the five fiscal years succeeding October 31, 2025 is as follows: 2025 (remaining nine months) - $1.1 million; 2026 - $1.2 million; 2027 - $1.2 million; 2028 - $1.2 million; 2029 - $0.7 million, at which point all finite-lived intangible assets will be fully amortized. As of January 31, 2025, fully amortized intangible assets and the related accumulated amortization were written off.
In connection with the expected discontinuation of manufacturing operations at the Company's ENC facility, the Company recorded an impairment charge of an indefinite-lived trade name of $7.2 million during the three months ended January 31, 2024. The fair value used in the impairment assessment of indefinite-lived trade names during the three months ended January 31, 2024 was based on Level 3 inputs, as defined by ASC 820. Refer to Note 8, Restructuring and Other Related Charges, for further details related to this discontinuation.
Note 7. Divestiture Activities
On January 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Collins Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, Collins Industries, Inc. (“Collins Industries”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Collins Bus Corporation (“Collins”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Collins Industries, Forest River, Inc. and Forest River Bus, LLC (“Forest River”), pursuant to which Collins Industries agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Collins to Forest River. The sale was aimed at optimizing the Company's portfolio of products and to create a more focused operating structure aligned with markets where the Company has a strong presence of industry leading brands. The transactions under the Collins Stock Purchase Agreement closed on January 26, 2024. In connection with the completion of the sale of Collins, the Company received cash consideration of $308.2 million and recorded a gain on sale of $257.5 million, which is included in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended January 31, 2024. The Company incurred $5.0 million of transaction costs in connection with this sale, which are included in the Selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended January 31, 2024. Collins was previously reported as part of the Specialty Vehicles segment.
Note 8. Restructuring and Other Related Charges
On January 29, 2024, the Company announced that it would discontinue manufacturing operations at the Company’s ENC facility in Riverside, California. Management believed the discontinuation of manufacturing at ENC created a more focused portfolio that provides opportunities for growth, consistent cash generation and improved margin performance.
The Company incurred certain restructuring and other related charges in connection with the decision to discontinue manufacturing at the ENC facility. For the three months ended January 31, 2024, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.8 million related to severance and retention costs, and additional charges consisting of $11.6 million of impairment charges related to intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment, $5.8 million of inventory write-offs, and $0.3 million of other costs.
This restructuring activity is complete and any remaining restructuring liability is insignificant as of January 31, 2025. ENC was previously reported as part of the Specialty Vehicles Segment.
Note 9. Long-Term Debt
The Company was obligated under the following debt instrument:
| | | | | | | | |
| | January 31, 2025 | | | October 31, 2024 | |
2021 ABL Facility | | $ | 140.0 | | | $ | 85.0 | |
ABL Facility
On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into a $550.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “2021 ABL Facility” or “2021 ABL Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 ABL Facility provides for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million. The total credit facility is subject to a $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35.0 million sublimit for letters of credit (plus up to an additional $20.0 million of letters of credit at issuing bank’s discretion), along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the 2021 ABL Agreement. The 2021 ABL Agreement allows for incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, plus the excess, if any, of the borrowing base then in effect over total commitments then in effect. Any such incremental facilities are subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions. The debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with the 2021 ABL Facility less accumulated amortization are included in Other long-term assets in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the debt on a straight-line basis. The 2021 ABL Facility matures on April 13, 2026. The Company may prepay principal, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.
The following table summarizes the gross borrowing and gross payments under the Company's 2021 ABL Facility:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended January 31, | |
| | 2025 | | | 2024 | |
Gross borrowings | | $ | 213.0 | | | $ | 283.0 | |
Gross payments | | | 158.0 | | | | 433.0 | |
Total net borrowings | | $ | 55.0 | | | $ | (150.0 | ) |
On November 1, 2022, the Company amended the 2021 ABL Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) to transition from the Eurodollar based benchmark rates to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Amendment No. 1 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.
On February 7, 2024, the Company entered into a second amendment to the 2021 ABL Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”). Amendment No. 2 revised the definition of fixed charges under the 2021 ABL Facility to exclude a special cash dividend, which was declared and paid in fiscal year 2024.
All revolving loans under the 2021 ABL Facility, as amended, bear interest at rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin, or a SOFR rate plus an applicable margin and credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for all interest periods. As of January 31, 2025, the interest rate margins are 1.0% for all base rate loans and 2.0% for all SOFR rate loans (with the SOFR rate having a floor of 0.0%), subject to adjustment based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio in accordance with the 2021 ABL Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly for all base rate loans and is payable on the last day of any interest period or every three months for all SOFR rate loans. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the 2021 ABL Facility was 6.4% as of January 31, 2025. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the 2021 ABL Facility was 6.8% as of October 31, 2024.
The lenders under the 2021 ABL Facility have a first priority security interest in substantially all personal property assets and certain real property assets of the Company. The 2021 ABL Facility’s borrowing base is comprised of eligible receivables and eligible inventory, plus a fixed asset sublimit of certain eligible real property and eligible equipment, which fixed asset sublimit reduces by quarterly amortization as specified in the 2021 ABL Agreement.
The 2021 ABL Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, subject in certain cases to customary limitations, exceptions and exclusions. The 2021 ABL Agreement also contains certain customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default under the 2021 ABL Agreement could result in the termination of the commitments under the 2021 ABL Facility and the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under it.
The Company would become subject to compliance with a 1.1 to 1.0 minimum fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant under the 2021 ABL Agreement if the Company’s borrowing base availability falls below $40.0 million or 15% of the borrowing base. As of January 31, 2025, the Company’s availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $262.9 million. As of October 31, 2024, the Company’s availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $349.6 million.
The fair value of the 2021 ABL Facility approximated the book value on January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024.
On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into a third amendment to its 2021 ABL Agreement. Refer to Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further details.
Note 10. Warranties
The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from several months to several years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Selected components (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) included in the Company’s products may include warranties from original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”). These OEM warranties are passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products, and the customer deals directly with the applicable OEM for any issues encountered on those components.
Changes in the Company’s warranty liability consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended January 31, | |
| | 2025 | | | 2024 | |
Balance at beginning of period | | $ | 42.1 | | | $ | 39.1 | |
Warranty provisions | | | 9.9 | | | | 8.4 | |
Settlements made | | | (8.5 | ) | | | (9.3 | ) |
Divestiture (Note 7) | | | — | | | | (1.1 | ) |
Balance at end of period | | $ | 43.5 | | | $ | 37.1 | |
Accrued warranty is classified in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | January 31, 2025 | | | October 31, 2024 | |
Current liabilities | | $ | 19.2 | | | $ | 20.0 | |
Other long-term liabilities | | | 24.3 | | | | 22.1 | |
Total warranty liability | | $ | 43.5 | | | $ | 42.1 | |
Note 11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution. The difference between basic EPS and diluted EPS is the result of the dilutive effect of performance stock units, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards. The table below reconciles basic weighted-average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended January 31, | |
| | 2025 | | | 2024 | |
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding | | | 51,615,748 | | | | 59,050,739 | |
Dilutive restricted stock awards | | | 258,725 | | | | 291,935 | |
Dilutive restricted stock units | | | 408,061 | | | | 348,671 | |
Dilutive performance stock units | | | — | | | | 90,964 | |
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding | | | 52,282,534 | | | | 59,782,309 | |
The table below represents exclusions from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding due to their anti-dilutive effect:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended January 31, | |
| | 2025 | | | 2024 | |
Anti-dilutive shares | | | 3,096 | | | | — | |
Note 12. Income Taxes
For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate based on the projected income for its entire fiscal year and records a provision or benefit for income taxes on a quarterly basis based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for any discrete tax items.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025, or 17.3% of pre-tax income, compared to $61.5 million of expense, or 25.2% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended January 31, 2024. Income tax expense for the three months ended January 31, 2025 was favorably impacted by $1.7 million of net discrete tax benefit, primarily related to stock-based compensation tax deductions. Income tax expense for the three months ended January 31, 2024 was unfavorably impacted by $63.4 million of net discrete tax expense, primarily related to gain on sale of Collins.
The Company periodically evaluates its valuation allowance requirements as facts and circumstances change and may adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances accordingly. It is reasonably possible that the Company will either add to or reverse a portion of its existing deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future. Such changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances will be reflected in the current operations through the Company’s effective income tax rate.
The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $4.1 million as of January 31, 2025, and $3.9 million as of October 31, 2024. The unrecognized tax benefits are presented in Other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in its Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from examinations to determine the adequacy of its tax reserves. As of January 31, 2025, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax positions it has taken will be sustained upon the resolution of its audits resulting in no material impact on its consolidated financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. However, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from the Company’s estimates and/or from its historical income tax provisions and income tax liabilities and could have a material effect on operating results and/or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, and/or interest assessments related to income tax examinations.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is, from time to time, party to various legal proceedings, including product and general liability claims, arising out of the ordinary course of business. Assessments of legal proceedings can involve complex judgments about future events that may rely on estimates and assumptions. When assessing whether to record a liability related to legal proceedings, the Company adheres to the requirements of ASC 450, Contingencies, and other applicable guidance as necessary, and records liabilities in those instances where it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss and when the loss is probable. When a range exists that is reasonably estimable and the loss is probable, the Company records an accrual in its financial statements equal to the most likely estimate of the loss, or the low end of the range, if there is no one best estimate. Additionally, these claims are generally covered by third-party insurance, which for some insurance policies are subject to a retention for which the Company is responsible.
Market Risks: The Company is contingently liable under bid, performance and specialty bonds issued by the Company’s surety company and has open standby letters of credit issued by the Company’s banks in favor of third parties as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | January 31, 2025 | | | October 31, 2024 | |
Performance, bid and specialty bonds | | $ | 666.9 | | | $ | 675.5 | |
Open standby letters of credit | | | 14.2 | | | | 14.2 | |
Total | | $ | 681.1 | | | $ | 689.7 | |
Chassis Contingent Liabilities: The Company obtains certain vehicle chassis from automobile manufacturers under converter pool agreements. These agreements generally provide that the manufacturer will supply chassis at the Company’s various production facilities under the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement. The manufacturer does not transfer the certificate of origin to the Company upon delivery. Accordingly, the chassis are not owned by the Company when delivered, and therefore, are excluded from the Company’s inventory. Upon being put into production, the Company owns the inventory and becomes obligated to pay the manufacturer for the chassis. Chassis are typically placed into production within 90 to 120 days of delivery to the Company. If the chassis are not placed into production within this timeframe, the Company generally purchases the chassis and records inventory, or the Company is obligated to begin paying an interest charge on this inventory until purchased. Such agreements are customary in the industries in which the Company operates and the Company’s exposure to loss under such agreements is limited by the value of the vehicle chassis that would be resold to mitigate any losses. The Company’s maximum contingent liability under such agreements was $14.4 million and $20.8 million as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively.
From time to time, the Company’s customers may provide their own vehicle chassis, at their sole discretion, in connection with specific vehicle orders. These vehicle chassis are stored at the Company’s various production facilities until the related value-added work is completed and the finished unit is shipped back to the customer. The customer does not transfer the vehicle chassis certificate of origin to the Company. Accordingly, such chassis are not owned by the Company when delivered or throughout the production process, and are, therefore, excluded from the Company’s inventory. The Company’s maximum contingent liability related to these vehicle chassis was $39.4 million and $38.1 million as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively. Losses incurred related to these arrangements have not been significant.
Repurchase Commitments: The Company has repurchase agreements with certain lending institutions. The repurchase commitments are on an individual unit basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through payment date by the dealer or other customer, generally not exceeding two years. The Company also repurchases inventory from dealers from time to time due to state law or regulatory requirements that require manufacturers to repurchase inventory if a dealership exits the business. The Company’s maximum contingent liability under such agreements was $388.0 million and $380.6 million as of January 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, respectively, which represents the gross value of all vehicles under repurchase agreements. Such agreements are customary in the industries in which the Company operates and the Company’s exposure to loss under such agreements is limited by the resale value of the units which are required to be repurchased. Losses incurred under such arrangements have not been significant. The reserve for losses included in other liabilities on contracts outstanding as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 are immaterial.
Guarantee Arrangements: The Company is party to multiple agreements whereby it guaranteed an aggregate of $19.9 million and $21.7 million at January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively, of indebtedness of others, including losses under loss pool agreements. The Company estimated that its maximum loss exposure under these contracts was $3.4 million and $4.0 million as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively. Under the terms of these and various related agreements and upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company generally has the ability to, among other things, take possession of the underlying collateral. The guarantee arrangements are on an individual contract basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through payment date by the customer, generally not exceeding five years. While the Company does not expect to experience losses under these agreements that are materially in excess of the amounts reserved, it cannot provide any assurance that the financial condition of the third parties will not deteriorate resulting in the third party’s inability to meet their obligations. Additionally, the Company cannot guarantee that the collateral underlying the agreements will be available or sufficient to avoid losses materially in excess of the amount reserved. The reserve for losses included in other liabilities on these guarantee arrangements as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 are immaterial.
Other Matters: During fiscal year 2023, the Company settled a collective group of claims brought by plaintiffs who were injured as passengers in an accident involving a shuttle bus that was manufactured by Krystal Bus prior to the Company’s acquisition of certain assets related to that business. The Company did not admit to any liability on the merits of the claims but deemed a settlement to be in its best interest based on the facts and circumstances of the claims. These claims, which totaled $13.7 million, were fully paid in fiscal year 2023. The Company is in the process of seeking reimbursement of the settlement payments from its insurers; however, it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to recover any amounts, and no loss recovery asset has been recorded as of January 31, 2025.
Note 14. Business Segment Information
The Company is organized into two reportable segments, Specialty Vehicles and Recreational Vehicles, which is aligned with the chief operating decision maker's internal reporting structure and with the chief operating decision maker's process for making operating decisions, allocating capital and measuring performance. The Company’s segments are as follows:
Specialty Vehicles: This segment includes Emergency One (“E-ONE”), Kovatch Mobile Equipment (“KME”), Ferrara, Spartan Emergency Response (“Spartan ER”), American Emergency Vehicles (“AEV”), Leader Emergency Vehicles (“Leader”), Horton Emergency Vehicles (“Horton”), REV Group Orlando, Capacity and LayMor. These businesses manufacture, market and distribute commercial and custom fire and ambulance vehicles primarily for fire departments, airports, other governmental units, contractors, hospitals and other care providers in the United States and other countries; trucks used in terminal type operations, i.e., rail yards, warehouses, rail terminals and shipping terminals/ports; and industrial sweepers for both the commercial and rental markets.
Recreational Vehicles: This segment includes REV Recreation Group, Renegade, Midwest, Lance and Goldshield Fiberglass, Inc., and their respective manufacturing facilities, service and parts divisions. REV Recreation Group primarily manufactures, markets and distributes Class A RVs in both gas and diesel models, and also distributes Class B and Class C RVs. Renegade primarily manufactures, markets and distributes Class C and “Super C” RVs. Midwest manufactures, markets and distributes Class B RVs and luxury vans. Lance manufactures, markets and distributes truck campers and towable campers. Goldshield manufactures, markets and distributes fiberglass reinforced molded parts to a diverse cross section of original equipment manufacturers and other commercial and industrial customers, including various components for REV Recreation Group’s Fleetwood family of brands.
For purposes of measuring financial performance of its business segments, the Company does not allocate to individual business segments costs or items that are of a corporate nature. The caption “Corporate, Other & Elims” includes corporate expenses, results of insignificant operations, intersegment eliminations and income and expense not allocated to reportable segments.
Total assets of the business segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, certain property, plant and equipment and certain other assets pertaining to corporate and other centralized activities.
Intersegment sales generally include amounts invoiced by a segment for work performed for another segment. Amounts are based on actual work performed and agreed-upon pricing which is intended to be reflective of the contribution made by the supplying business segment. All intersegment transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Selected financial information of the Company’s segments is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended January 31, 2024 | |
| | Specialty Vehicles | | | Recreational Vehicles | | | Corporate, Other & Elims | | | Consolidated | |
Net sales | | $ | 417.2 | | | $ | 169.4 | | | $ | (0.6 | ) | | $ | 586.0 | |
Depreciation and amortization | | $ | 4.3 | | | $ | 1.6 | | | $ | 0.6 | | | $ | 6.5 | |
Capital expenditures | | $ | 3.9 | | | $ | 5.6 | | | $ | 1.0 | | | $ | 10.5 | |
Total assets | | $ | 911.6 | | | $ | 394.1 | | | $ | 115.4 | | | $ | 1,421.1 | |
Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | 26.2 | | | $ | 11.6 | | | $ | (7.3 | ) | | | |
In considering the financial performance of the business, the chief operating decision maker analyzes the primary financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or net loss for the relevant period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income taxes, as adjusted for items management believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by U.S. GAAP but is computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of this performance measure to net income is included below.
The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and used by management for measuring profitability because the measure excludes the impact of certain items which management believes have less bearing on the Company’s core operating performance, and allows for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within its industries. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to measure and report the Company’s financial performance to the Company’s Board of Directors, assists in providing a meaningful analysis of the Company’s operating performance and is used as a measurement in incentive compensation for management.
Provided below is a reconciliation of segment Adjusted EBITDA to Net income:

Note 15. Shareholders' Equity
On June 1, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program that allowed the repurchase of up to $175.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (“The 2023 Repurchase Program”). The 2023 Repurchase Program replaced the previous repurchase program. The 2023 Repurchase Program would have expired 24 months after the approval date and gave management flexibility to determine conditions under which the shares may be purchased, subject to certain limitations. During the three months ended January 31, 2024 the Company did not repurchase any shares.
On December 5, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “2024 Repurchase Program”). The 2024 Repurchase Program replaced the 2023 Repurchase Program. The 2024 Repurchase Program expires 24 months after the authorization date and gives management flexibility to determine the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time through a variety of methods, including in privately negotiated or open market transactions, such as pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act or a combination of methods. The 2024 Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and it can be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. During the three months ended January 31, 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 579,165 shares under the 2024 Repurchase Program at a total cost of $19.2 million and at an average price of approximately $33.09 per share, excluding commissions, fees and excise taxes.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, in connection with the sale of Collins, the Company declared a special cash dividend in the amount of $3.00 per share of common stock, payable on February 16, 2024, to shareholders of record on February 9, 2024. Additionally, on January 12, 2024, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.05 per share of common stock to shareholders of record on December 26, 2023. On January 10, 2025, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.06 per share of common stock to shareholders of record on December 26, 2024.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. Other than the item noted below, no other material subsequent events were identified.
Amendment to Credit Facility
On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into a third amendment to its 2021 ABL Agreement, the latter of which was previously amended by Amendment No. 1, dated November 1, 2022, and Amendment No. 2, dated February 7, 2024 (hereafter referred to as the “Amended 2021 ABL Agreement” or the “Amended 2021 ABL Facility”).
The Amended 2021 ABL Agreement modified the 2021 ABL Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity of the facility to five years after the effective date of the Amended 2021 ABL Agreement, decrease the aggregate commitments for revolving loans and letters of credit from $550.0 million to $450.0 million, and increase the sublimit for swingline loans from $30.0 million to $45.0 million. Pursuant to the Amended 2021 ABL Agreement, the interest rates were revised so that the applicable margin adjustment is based on the calculation of average quarterly availability in relation to the total revolving loan commitment.
The Amended 2021 ABL Agreement revised the borrowing base so that (i) its calculation is comprised of a larger percentage of eligible receivables than in the 2021 ABL Agreement and is subject to a dilution reserve as specified in the Amended 2021 ABL Agreement and (ii) it does not factor eligible equipment or eligible real property into its calculation.
Additionally, the Amended 2021 ABL Agreement modified the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio and revised the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio the Company must comply with during certain periods to 1.0 to 1.0.
The 2021 ABL Agreement was also modified by the Amended 2021 ABL Agreement so that, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Amended 2021 ABL Agreement, the Company is permitted to enter into an additional secured term loan credit facility with financial institutions acceptable to the administrative agent.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q as well as the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Risk Factors and audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on December 11, 2024.
Overview
REV Group companies are leading designers, manufacturers and distributors of specialty vehicles and related aftermarket parts and services. We serve a diversified customer base, primarily in North America, through our two segments. We provide customized vehicle solutions for applications, including essential needs for public services (ambulances and fire apparatus), commercial infrastructure (terminal trucks and industrial sweepers) and consumer leisure (recreational vehicles). Our diverse portfolio is made up of well-established principal vehicle brands, including many of the most recognizable names within their industry.
Segments
Specialty Vehicles – Our Specialty Vehicles segment sells (i) fire apparatus equipment under the E-ONE, KME, and Ferrara brands, and Spartan ER, which consists of the Spartan Emergency Response, Smeal, Spartan Fire Chassis, and Ladder Tower brands, (ii) ambulances under the AEV, Horton, Leader, Road Rescue and Wheeled Coach brands, and (iii) terminal trucks and sweepers under the Capacity and Laymor brands, respectively. We believe we have one of the industry’s broadest portfolios of products including Type I ambulances (aluminum body mounted on a heavy truck-style chassis), Type II ambulances (van conversion ambulance), Type III ambulances (aluminum body mounted on a van-style chassis), pumpers (fire apparatus on a custom or commercial chassis with a water pump and water tank to extinguish fires), aerial trucks (fire apparatus with stainless steel or aluminum ladders), tanker trucks, rescues, aircraft rescue firefighting (“ARFF”), custom cabs & chassis, terminal trucks (specialized vehicles which move freight in warehouses, intermodal yards, distribution and fulfillment centers and ports), and sweepers (three- and four-wheel versions used in road construction activities). Each of our individual brands is distinctly positioned and targets certain price and feature points in the market such that dealers often carry, and customers often buy, more than one product type from our Specialty Vehicles brands.
Recreational Vehicles – Our Recreational Vehicles segment serves the RV market through the following principal brands: American Coach, Fleetwood RV, Holiday Rambler, Renegade RV, Midwest Automotive Designs and Lance Camper. We believe our brand portfolio contains some of the longest standing, most recognized brands in the RV industry. Our products in the Recreational Vehicles segment include Class A motorized RVs (motorhomes built on a heavy-duty chassis with either diesel or gas engine configurations), Class C and “Super C” motorized RVs (motorhomes built on a van or commercial truck chassis), Class B RVs (motorhomes built out within a van chassis and high-end luxury van conversions), and towable travel trailers and truck campers. The Recreational Vehicles segment also includes Goldshield Fiberglass, which produces a wide range of custom molded fiberglass products for the Fleetwood family of brands, other RV manufacturers, and broader industrial markets.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
The primary factors affecting our results of operations include:
General Economic Conditions
Our business is impacted by the U.S. economic environment, employment levels, consumer confidence, municipal spending, municipal tax receipts, changes in interest rates and instability in securities markets around the world, among other factors. In particular, changes in the U.S. economic climate can impact demand in key end markets. In addition, we are susceptible to supply chain disruptions resulting from the impact of tariffs, changes in U.S. and foreign trade policies, trade restrictions, and global macro-economic factors which can have a dramatic effect, either directly or indirectly, on the availability, lead-times and costs associated with raw materials and parts.
RV purchases are discretionary in nature and therefore sensitive to the cost and availability of financing, consumer confidence, unemployment levels, levels of disposable income and changing levels of consumer home equity, among other factors. RV markets are affected by general U.S. and global economic conditions, which create risks that future economic downturns will further reduce consumer demand and negatively impact our sales.
While less economically sensitive than the Recreational Vehicles segment, the Specialty Vehicles segment is also impacted by the overall economic environment. For example, local tax revenues are an important source of funding for fire and ambulance purchases from emergency response departments. Volatility in tax revenues or availability of funds via budgetary appropriation can have a negative impact on the demand for these products. Additionally, these products are typically a larger cost item for municipalities and their service life is relatively long, making the purchase more deferrable, which can result in reduced demand for our products.
Seasonality
In a typical year, our operating results are impacted by seasonality. Historically, the slowest sales volume quarter has been the first fiscal quarter when the purchasing seasons for vehicles, such as RVs, are the lowest due to the colder weather and the relatively long time until the summer vacation season. Our first fiscal quarter also has fewer working days to complete and ship units due to the number of holidays and related vacation taken by employees. Sales of our products have typically been higher in the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters (with the fourth fiscal quarter typically being the strongest) due to better weather, the vacation season, buying habits of RV dealers and end-users, and timing of government and municipal customer fiscal years. Our quarterly results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity are likely to be impacted by these seasonal patterns. Sales and earnings for other vehicles that we produce, such as essential emergency vehicles, are less seasonal, but fluctuations in sales of these vehicles can also be impacted by timing surrounding the fiscal years of municipalities and commercial customers, as well as the timing and amounts of multi-unit orders.
Impact of Acquisitions and Divestitures
We actively evaluate opportunities to improve and expand our business through targeted acquisitions that are consistent with our strategy. We also may dispose of certain components of our business that no longer fit within our overall strategy. Historically, a significant component of our growth has been through acquisitions of businesses. We typically incur upfront costs as we integrate acquired businesses and implement our operating philosophy at newly acquired companies, including consolidation of supplies and materials purchases, improvements to production processes, and other restructuring initiatives. The benefits of these acquisition, integration, and divestiture activities may not positively impact our financial results until subsequent periods, if at all.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we sold Collins. Refer to Note 7, Divestiture Activities, of the Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we announced the discontinuation of manufacturing operations at ENC. Subsequently, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we sold ENC. Collins and ENC are collectively referred to as the “Bus Manufacturing Businesses”.

Backlog
Backlog represents orders received from dealers or directly from end customers. The following table presents a summary of our backlog by segment:
| | | | | | | | |
($ in millions) | | January 31, 2025 | | | January 31, 2024 | |
Specialty Vehicles | | $ | 4,226.1 | | | $ | 3,864.1 | |
Recreational Vehicles | | | 264.5 | | | $ | 376.7 | |
Total Backlog | | $ | 4,490.6 | | | $ | 4,240.8 | |
Orders from our dealers and end customers are evidenced by a contract or firm purchase order or, in the case of the Recreational Vehicles segment and certain orders in our Specialty Vehicles segment, a reserved production slot. These orders are reported in our backlog at the aggregate selling prices, net of discounts or allowances. Orders included in the Recreational Vehicles segment backlog and certain orders within the Specialty Vehicles segment backlog generally can be cancelled or postponed at the option of the dealer at any time without penalty. As a result, this backlog may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales.
As of January 31, 2025, our backlog was $4,490.6 million compared to $4,240.8 million as of January 31, 2024, which included $84.2 million related to the Bus Manufacturing Businesses. The increase in consolidated backlog was due to an increase within the Specialty Vehicles segment, partially offset by a decrease within the Recreational Vehicles segment. Specialty Vehicles segment backlog, excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, increased $446.2 million compared to the prior year quarter, and was primarily the result of continued demand and order intake for fire apparatus and ambulance units and pricing actions, partially offset by lower order intake for terminal truck units. Recreational Vehicles segment backlog decreased $112.2 million compared to the prior year quarter, and was primarily the result of lower order intake in certain categories, unit shipments against backlog, and order cancelations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our working capital needs, to improve and expand existing manufacturing facilities, for debt service payments, for general corporate needs, and, more recently, share repurchases. Historically, these cash requirements have been met through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our 2021 ABL Facility.
Currently, the Company is in a stable overall position with respect to its liquidity and capital resources and believes they are adequate to meet its projected needs.
Cash Flow
The following table shows summary cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and January 31, 2024:

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 7.0 | | | $ | 66.6 | |
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 2025 was $13.1 million and was primarily related to the timing of accounts payable payments and receivable receipts, and incentive compensation payments made during the period, partially offset by higher receipts of customer advances. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 2024 was $69.7 million and was primarily related to the timing of accounts payable payments, lower receipts of customer advances and incentive compensation payments made during the period.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2025 was $4.8 million and was related to cash paid for capital expenditures. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2024 was $297.7 million and was related to the cash received in connection with the sale of Collins, partially offset by cash paid for capital expenditures.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2025 was $24.9 million, which primarily consisted of net proceeds from the revolving credit facility of $55.0 million, partially offset by repurchases of stock of $19.2 million and dividends paid of $3.9 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2024 was $161.4 million, which primarily consisted of net payments made on the revolving credit facility of $150.0 million and dividends paid of $3.1 million.
Dividends
Subject to legally available funds and the discretion of our board of directors, we expect to pay a quarterly cash dividend at the rate of $0.06 per share on our common stock. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we paid cash dividends of $3.9 million.
Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations, particularly with respect to liquidity. The dividend payment is at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and we may not pay dividends according to our policy, or at all. We cannot assure that we will declare dividends or have sufficient funds to pay dividends on our common stock in the future.
Share Repurchases
During the three months ended January 31, 2025 the Company repurchased and retired 579,165 shares under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program at a cost of $19.2 million and at an average price of approximately $33.09 per share, excluding commissions, fees and excise taxes.
ABL Facility
On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into a $550.0 million revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 ABL Facility provides for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million. The total credit facility is subject to a $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35.0 million sublimit for letters of credit (plus up to an additional $20.0 million of letters of credit at issuing bank’s discretion), along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the 2021 ABL Agreement. The 2021 ABL Agreement allows for incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, plus the excess, if any, of the borrowing base then in effect over total commitments then in effect. Any such incremental facilities are subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions. The debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with the 2021 ABL Facility less accumulated amortization are included in Other long-term assets in the Company’s Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the debt on a straight-line basis. The 2021 ABL Facility matures on April 13, 2026. The Company may prepay principal, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.
On November 1, 2022, the Company amended the 2021 ABL Agreement to transition from the Eurodollar based benchmark rates to the SOFR. The transition from the Eurodollar rate to SOFR did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. On February 7, 2024, the Company entered into a second amendment to the 2021 ABL Agreement, which revised the definition of fixed charges under the 2021 ABL Facility to exclude a special cash dividend, which was declared and paid during fiscal year 2024.
The Company would become subject to compliance with a 1.1 to 1.0 minimum fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant under the 2021 ABL Agreement if the Company’s borrowing base availability falls below $40.0 million or 15% of the borrowing base. As of January 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding debt under the 2021 ABL Facility was $140.0 million, and the Company’s availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $262.9 million. Refer to Note 9, Long-Term Debt, of the Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Amended 2021 ABL Agreement, which among other things, extended the maturity of the facility to five years after the effective date of the Amended 2021 ABL Agreement and decreased the aggregate commitments for revolving loans and letters of credit from $550.0 million to $450.0 million. Refer to Note 16, Subsequent Events, of the Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details related to the Amended 2021 ABL Agreement.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income
In considering the financial performance of the business, management analyzes the primary financial performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or net loss for the relevant period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, and other items described below that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income or net loss, as adjusted for certain items described below that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are useful to investors because these performance measures are used by our management and our Board of Directors for measuring and reporting our financial performance and as a measurement in incentive compensation for management. These measures exclude the impact of certain items which we believe have less bearing on our core operating performance because they are items that are not needed or available to our managers in the daily activities of their businesses. We believe that the core operations of our business are those which can be affected by our management in a particular period through their resource allocation decisions that affect the underlying performance of our operations conducted during that period. We also believe that decisions utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income allow for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within our markets.
To determine Adjusted EBITDA, we adjust net income or net loss for the following items: non-cash depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes and other items as described below. Stock-based compensation expense and sponsor expense reimbursement are excluded from both Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA because they represent expenses which cannot be impacted by our business managers. Stock-based compensation expense also reflects a cost which may obscure trends in our underlying vehicle businesses for a given period, due to the timing and nature of the equity awards. We also adjust for exceptional items, which are determined to be those that in management’s judgment are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance and need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence, and include non-cash items and items settled in cash. In determining whether an event or transaction is exceptional, management considers quantitative as well as qualitative factors such as the frequency or predictability of occurrence.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income have limitations as analytical tools. They are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not measures of financial condition and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or net loss for the period determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is net income or net loss for the relevant period. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, such measures do not reflect:
•our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•the cash requirements to pay our taxes.

In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our 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 and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.

The 2024 Repurchase Program replaced the 2023 Repurchase Program. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program expires 24 months after the authorization date and gives management flexibility to determine the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time through a variety of methods, including in privately negotiated or open market transactions, such as pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act or a combination of methods.
