Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation Fiscal Year Use of Estimates Business Combinations Assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally include tangible and intangible assets, and contingent assets and liabilities. When available, the estimated fair values of these assets and liabilities are determined based on observable inputs such as quoted market prices, information from comparable transactions, and the replacement cost of assets in the same condition or stage of usefulness (Level 1 and 2). If observable inputs are not available, unobservable inputs are used such as expected future cash flows or internally developed estimates of value (Level 3). Cash and Cash Equivalents Deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand, and are maintained with major financial institutions within the United States. Credit ratings of these financial institutions are monitored by management to mitigate risk of loss. At October 31, 2017, the Company had $16.9 million of uninsured cash balances in excess of Federal Depository Insurance Company limits. Accounts Receivable The Company establishes a reserve for specific accounts receivable that are believed to be uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables not specifically known. Historical trends and the Company’s current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Accounts Receivable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016 are stated net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Receivables are written off when management determines collection is highly unlikely and collection efforts have ceased. The change in the allowance for uncollectible accounts is as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2017 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 Beginning balance $ 1,623 $ 768 $ 795 Net recorded expense 767 1,075 620 Write-offs, net of recoveries/payments (1,263 ) (220 ) (647 ) Ending balance $ 1,127 $ 1,623 $ 768 Concentrations of Credit Risk Inventories Property, Plant and Equipment Years Buildings, related improvements & land improvements 5-39 Machinery & equipment 3-15 Computer hardware & software 3-10 Office, furniture & other 5-15 Expenditures that extend the useful life of existing property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When property, plant and equipment are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the Company’s balance sheet, with any gain or loss reflected in operations. Accumulated depreciation on capitalized lease assets is included in property, plant and equipment. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of trade names, are not amortized, however, the Company reviews goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicates that its carrying amount may not exceed its fair value. The annual impairment review is performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year based upon information and estimates available at that time. To perform the impairment testing, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of the Company’s reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying amounts as a basis for determining whether or not to perform the quantitative impairment test. Qualitative testing includes the evaluation of economic conditions, financial performance and other factors such as key events when they occur. The Company then estimates the fair value of each reporting unit and each indefinite-lived intangible asset not meeting the qualitative criteria and compares their fair values to their carrying values. Under the quantitative method, the fair value of each reporting unit of the Company is determined by using the income approach and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The income approach involves discounting management’s projections of future cash flows and a terminal value discounted at a discount rate which approximates the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”). Key assumptions used in the income approach include future sales growth, gross margin and operating expenses trends, depreciation expense, taxes, capital expenditures and changes in working capital. Projected future cash flows are based on income forecasts and management’s knowledge of the current operating environment and expectations for the future. The WACC incorporates equity and debt return rates observed in the market for a group of comparable public companies in the industry, and is determined using an average debt to equity ratio of selected comparable public companies, and is also adjusted for risk premiums and the Company’s capital structure. The terminal value is based upon the projected cash flow for the final projected year, and is calculated using estimates of growth of the net cash flows based on the Company’s estimate of stable growth for each financial reporting unit. The inputs and assumptions used in the determination of fair value are considered Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. If the fair value of any reporting unit, as calculated using the income approach, is less than its carrying value, the fair value of the implied goodwill is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill. An impairment charge is recorded for any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value for each reporting unit. When determining the fair value of indefinite-lived trade names, the Company uses the relief from royalty method which requires the determination of fair value based on if the Company was licensing the right to the trade name in exchange for a royalty fee. The Company utilizes the income approach to determine future revenues to which to apply a royalty rate. The royalty rate is based on research of industry and market data related to transactions involving the licensing of comparable intangible assets. In considering the value of trade names, the Company looks to relative age, consistent use, quality, expansion possibilities, relative profitability and relative market potential. The Company has applied the qualitative method for its fiscal 2017 impairment test. As a result of the annual Company’s impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, it was concluded that there is no impairment of such assets for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015. Long-Lived Assets Including Definite-Lived Intangible Assets Debt Issuance Costs Self-Insurance For employee medical coverage, annual claims of up to $0.4 million per member are the risk of the company. Paid claims during the calendar year greater than $0.4 million for any member are covered under a stop-loss policy with a commercial insurance carrier. Health expenses were $28.7 million, $27.8 million and $23.7 million during fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accrued health benefit liability was $4.4 million and $4.7 million at October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively, and is included as a component of payroll and related benefits and taxes in other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company is insured for workers’ compensation claims under both state and private insurance plans. The Company’s product liability and workers’ compensation accruals including residual claims under previous years SIR programs are also included within other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Accrued workers’ compensation claims totaled $1.0 million and $1.0 million at October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively. Income Taxes The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the Company must determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company evaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis or when new information becomes available to management. The evaluations are based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, successfully settled issues under audit and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an increase to the related provision. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $2.9 million and $2.9 million as of October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively. The Company includes interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Liabilities for income taxes payable, accrued interest and penalties that are due within one year of the balance sheet date are included in other current liabilities. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Comprehensive Income The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2015 Increase / (Decrease) in Fair Value of Derivatives Other Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) Balance at October 31, 2014 $ 15 $ 79 $ 94 Changes 43 (163 ) (120 ) Balance at October 31, 2015 $ 58 $ (84 ) $ (26 ) Fiscal Year Ended October 29, 2016 Increase / (Decrease) in Fair Value of Derivatives Other Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) Balance at October 31, 2015 $ 58 $ (84 ) $ (26 ) Changes (78 ) 143 65 Balance at October 29, 2016 $ (20 ) $ 59 $ 39 Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2017 Increase / (Decrease) in Fair Value of Derivatives Translation Adjustment Other Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) Balance at October 29, 2016 $ (20 ) $ 2 $ 57 $ 39 Changes 74 (109 ) 31 (4 ) Balance at October 31, 2017 $ 54 $ (107 ) $ 88 $ 35 Revenue Recognition Revenues from the sale of parts are recognized when title to products and the risk of loss are transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. Revenue from service agreements is recognized as earned when services are rendered. Intercompany sales are eliminated upon consolidation. Provisions are made for discounts, returns and sales allowances based on management’s best estimate and the historical experience of each business unit. Sales are recorded net of amounts invoiced for taxes imposed on the customer, such as excise or value-added taxes. Customer advances include amounts received in advance of the completion of vehicles or in advance of services being rendered. Such customer advances are recorded as current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet until the vehicle is shipped or the service rendered. Warranty Advertising Costs Research and Development Costs Fair Value Measurements Foreign currency forward contracts held or issued by the Company for risk management purposes are traded in over-the counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For these derivatives, the Company measures fair value using the foreign currency spot rate at the reporting period compared to the contractual rate. The estimated carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments recognized and measured at fair value, which consist of foreign currency forward contracts and considered Level 2 inputs, are $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively. The Company determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unrelated market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (Level 3) within the fair value hierarchy established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company applies a “market approach” or an “income approach” to determine fair value. The market approach method uses pricing and other information generated by market transactions for identical or comparable assets and liabilities. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk. In the absence of significant market based inputs, the Company will use an “income approach” to estimate the fair value of the asset. This approach is based on the principle that the present value of the expected income that can be generated from the ownership of the asset approximates its fair value. This approach generally includes management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability including, projected income, a time period over which that income can be earned and an estimate of risk-adjusted discount and capitalization rates. Assets and liabilities are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level (least observable) input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. Based on recent open market transactions, the fair value of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes was approximately $186 million as of October 29, 2016. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding borrowings on its Term Loan and ABL Facility approximates book value. For illustrative purposes, the levels within the FASB fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable, including the company’s own assumptions in determining fair value. The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements, consisting of derivative financial instruments and contingently redeemable common stock (discussed in Note 14, Contingently Redeemable Common Stock), which are valued based upon Level 3 inputs. The Company applies fair value accounting to its non-financial assets and liabilities, which consists principally of indefinite lived intangible assets (for purposes of the Company’s annual impairment test). Change in the fair value of recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands): Contingently Redeemable Common Stock Balance at October 31, 2015 $ 15,350 Change in fair value 10,716 Reclassification of contingently redeemable common stock to permanent equity (3,773 ) Balance at October 29, 2016 $ 22,293 Change in fair value 13,078 Reclassification of contingently redeemable common stock to permanent equity (35,371 ) Balance at October 31, 2017 $ — Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period, which management evaluates periodically. The effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As a matter of policy, the Company only enters into transactions which it believes will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk, and it does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Stock-Based Compensation Prior to the Company’s IPO, the fair value of common stock was calculated by determining enterprise value by applying an earnings multiple to the Adjusted EBITDA over the previous 12 months, and deducting outstanding debt, then dividing by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. The assumption for forfeitures is based upon historical experience. As the Company had not historically paid dividends on common stock prior to the IPO, the Company assumed a 0% dividend rate for stock options issued prior to the IPO. Prior to the Company’s IPO, stockholders were party to a shareholders agreement that was amended and restated in its entirety. Due to provisions in that shareholders agreement, a shareholder was allowed to put his or her shares to us under certain circumstances. As such, certain outstanding stock options were considered liability awards and were recorded at intrinsic value, which is the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock and the option strike price and recognized as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Upon becoming a public entity, the Company recorded the liability awards at fair value. As a result of the IPO, the aforementioned put rights expired and the outstanding options were no longer considered liability awards and the fair value of the options were reclassified to shareholders’ equity. Stock compensation expense for restricted and performance stock awards is recorded over the vesting period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The grant date fair value is equal to the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Note 3. Acquisitions AutoAbility Acquisition On September 6, 2017, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of AutoAbility, LLC (“AutoAbility” and the “AutoAbility Acquisition”). AutoAbility is a best-in-class mobility van “upfitter” that specializes in the manufacture of rear-access, wheelchair-accessible vehicles. The purchase price for AutoAbility was $2.0 million ($2.0 million net of cash acquired). AutoAbility is reported as part of the Commercial segment. The AutoAbility Acquisition has been accounted for as a business acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price will be allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had not completed its assessment of the fair value of all acquired assets and liabilities assumed, as well as the completion of the determination of the final purchase price calculation, as defined in the purchase agreement. The estimated fair values are preliminary and based on the information that was available as of the date of the acquisition. Van-Mor Enterprises Acquisition On May 15, 2017, the Company acquired certain real estate assets and operating assets and liabilities of Van-Mor Enterprises, Inc. (“Van-Mor” and the “Van-Mor Acquisition”). Van-Mor is a supplier of certain materials and components for the Company’s fire apparatus division. The purchase price for Van-Mor was $1.6 million, and a subsequent adjustment of $0.1 million received from the seller based on the level of net working capital on the acquisition date. The net cash consideration paid at closing was funded through the Company’s cash from operations. Van-Mor is reported as part of the Fire & Emergency segment. The Van-Mor Acquisition has been accounted for as a business acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price will be allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. As of October 31, 2017, the Company has not completed its assessment of the fair value of all acquired assets and liabilities assumed. The Company acquired land and buildings which were valued at approximately $1.1 million as of the closing date, and as this amount represents a significant portion of the purchase consideration, the Company does not anticipate to recognize a material amount of goodwill, if any. Midwest Automotive Designs Acquisition On April 13, 2017, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Midwest Automotive Designs (“Midwest” and the “Midwest Acquisition”). Midwest manufactures Class B recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and luxury vans. This acquisition enhanced the Company’s product offerings in both its Recreation and Commercial segments by adding a selection of Class B recreational vehicles and multiple products for the luxury limousine, charter and tour bus markets. The purchase price for Midwest was $34.9 million ($34.9 million net of cash acquired), and a subsequent adjustment of $0.5 million received from the seller based on the level of net working capital on the acquisition date. The net cash consideration paid at closing was funded through the Company’s ABL Facility. Midwest is reported as part of the Recreation segment. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $12.8 million, which is deductible for income tax purposes. The Midwest Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price will be allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had not completed its assessment of the fair value of all acquired assets and liabilities assumed, as well as the completion of the determination of the final purchase price calculation, as defined in the purchase agreement. The estimated fair values are preliminary and based on the information that was available as of the date of the acquisition. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Midwest (in thousands): Assets: Cash $ 1 Accounts receivable, net 4,313 Inventories, net 8,960 Other current assets 65 Property, plant and equipment 179 Intangible assets, net 16,548 Total assets acquired 30,066 Liabilities: Accounts payable 6,601 Accrued warranty 312 Customer advances 898 Other current liabilities 181 Total liabilities assumed 7,992 Net Assets Acquired 22,074 Consideration Paid 34,896 Goodwill $ 12,822 Intangible assets acquired as a result of the Midwest Acquisition are as follows (in thousands): Customer relationships (6 year life) $ 12,900 Order backlog (1 year life) 548 Trade names (indefinite life) 3,100 Total intangible assets, net $ 16,548 Net sales and operating income attributable to Midwest were $28.6 million and $0.2 million for fiscal year 2017, respectively. The Company has not included pro forma financial information in this report as if the acquisition had occurred on November 1, 2015, since the operating results from Midwest were not considered material to the Company’s operating results as a whole. Ferrara Fire Apparatus Acquisition On April 25, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the common shares of Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (“Ferrara” and the “Ferrara Acquisition”). Ferrara is a leading custom fire apparatus and rescue vehicle manufacturer that engineers and manufactures vehicles for municipal and industrial customers. This acquisition enhanced the Company’s emergency vehicle geographic markets and its’ product offering, particularly with custom fire apparatus including pumpers, aerials, and industrial vehicles. The purchase price for Ferrara was $100.1 million ($97.1 million net of $3.0 million cash acquired), subject to an adjustment based on the level of net working capital at closing, as defined in the purchase agreement. The net cash consideration paid at closing was funded through a combination of the Company’s revolving credit facility and Term Loan. Ferrara is reported as part of the Fire & Emergency segment. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $31.4 million, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The Ferrara Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price will be allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had not completed its assessment of the fair value of all acquired intangible assets, or of the determination of the final working capital adjustment, as defined in the purchase agreement. The estimated fair values are preliminary and based on the information that was available as of the date of the acquisition and because the determination of the fair value of intangible assets has not been completed. The fair value of the customer relationships, order backlog, non-compete agreements and trade names may change when the valuation is finalized, which may result in a corresponding change to the amount of goodwill and deferred income taxes recorded when the value of intangible assets is determined and the working capital adjustment is finalized. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Ferrara (in thousands): Assets: Cash $ 3,013 Accounts receivable, net 16,041 Inventories, net 40,338 Other current assets 360 Property, plant and equipment 12,489 Other long-term assets 76 Intangible assets, net 32,770 Total assets acquired 105,087 Liabilities: Accounts payable 17,043 Accrued warranty 2,896 Customer advances 7,740 Deferred income taxes 2,986 Other current liabilities 2,725 Other long-term liabilities 3,000 Total liabilities assumed 36,390 Net Assets Acquired 68,697 Consideration Paid 100,113 Goodwill $ 31,416 Intangible assets acquired as a result of the Ferrara Acquisition are as follows (in thousands): Customer relationships (12 year life) $ 14,440 Order backlog (1 year life) 3,190 Non-compete agreements (4 year life) 1,530 Trade names (indefinite life) 13,610 Total intangible assets, net $ 32,770 Net sales and operating loss attributable to Ferrara were $71.7 million and ($0.6) million for fiscal year 2017, respectively. The Company has not included pro forma financial information in this report as if the acquisition had occurred on November 1, 2015, since Ferrara’s operating results were not considered material to the Company’s operating results as a whole. Renegade RV Acquisition On December 30, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the common shares of Kibbi, LLC, which operated as Renegade RV (“Renegade” and the “Renegade Acquisition”).

This acquisition expanded the Company’s motorized RV product offering into these higher end Class C vehicles and specialty trailers. The purchase price for Renegade was $22.5 million ($21.0 million net of $1.6 million cash acquired), which included a $0.3 million payment to Renegade’s sellers based on the level of net working capital on the acquisition date. The net cash consideration paid at closing was funded through the Company’s revolving credit facility. Renegade is reported as part of the Recreation segment. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $3.4 million, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The Renegade Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had not completed its assessment of the fair value of all acquired assets and liabilities assumed, or of the determination of the final purchase price calculation, as defined in the purchase agreement.

(“KME” and the “KME Acquisition”). KME produces a broad portfolio of customized specialty fire apparatus vehicles, and markets them to fire-rescue, military, aviation, and industrial customers globally. The KME Acquisition strengthened the Company’s share in the emergency vehicle market by expanding the Company’s product portfolio into segments of the fire apparatus market, which have not been previously served by the Company’s existing businesses and compliments the Company’s existing product portfolio. The purchase price for KME was $39.6 million ($30.1 million net of $9.5 million cash acquired) and a subsequent $0.5 million adjustment paid to the sellers based on the level of net working capital and debt on the acquisition date. The net cash consideration paid at closing was funded through the Company’s ABL Facility. KME is reported as part of the Fire & Emergency segment. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $2.4 million, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The KME Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. Fair value measurements have been applied based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing of the asset or liability. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for KME (in thousands): Assets: Cash $ 9,490 Receivables, net 11,850 Inventories, net 67,439 Deferred income taxes 1,454 Other current assets 1,580 Property, plant and equipment 15,332 Intangible assets, net 10,950 Other long-term assets 22 Total assets acquired 118,117 Liabilities: Accounts payable 13,834 Customer advances 43,438 Accrued warranty 14,357 Other current liabilities 9,282 Total liabilities assumed 80,911 Net Assets Acquired 37,206 Consideration Paid 39,602 Goodwill $ 2,396 Intangible assets acquired as a result of the KME Acquisition are as follows (in thousands): Customer relationships (9 year life) $ 8,550 Trade names (indefinite life) 2,400 Total intangible assets, net $ 10,950 Net sales and operating income attributable to KME were $172.5 million and $6.9 million for fiscal year 2017, respectively.

Hall-Mark Fire Apparatus Acquisition On November 20, 2015, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Hall-Mark Fire Apparatus Inc. (“Hall-Mark” and the “Hall-Mark Acquisition”). The Hall-Mark acquisition provided the Company with the opportunity to expand its parts and service offerings to its customers. The purchase price was $3.0 million in cash with $2.0 million paid at closing and a total of $1.0 million payable in quarterly installments over the next five years. Additionally, the Company assumed $3.7 million of Hall-Mark’s debt, offset by $0.4 million of cash acquired. The assumed debt was paid in its entirety in fiscal year 2016. The net cash consideration paid at closing was funded through the Company’s revolving credit facility. Hall-Mark is reported as part of the Fire & Emergency segment. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $0.4 million, which is deductible for income tax purposes. The Hall-Mark Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. Fair value measurements have been applied based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing of the asset or liability. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Hall-Mark (in thousands): Assets: Cash $ 385 Accounts receivable 3,135 Inventories 2,718 Prepaids & other assets 3,493 Property, plant and equipment 191 Trade names 870 Customer relationships 750 Order backlog 220 Non-compete Agreements 530 Total assets acquired 12,292 Liabilities: Accounts payable 891 Other current liabilities 226 Customer deposits 4,845 Debt 3,698 Total liabilities assumed 9,660 Net Assets Acquired 2,632 Consideration Paid 3,000 Goodwill $ 368 The Hall-Mark trade names will be amortized over five years, customer lists will be amortized over nine years, non-compete agreements will be amortized over six years and the order backlog was amortized over a one-year period. Ancira Acquisition On December 14, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the land, building, and inventory of a recreational vehicle dealer in Texas (“Ancira” and the “Ancira Acquisition”). The purchase price for the Ancira Acquisition was $20.0 million. Since the Company only acquired assets from Ancira, and did not acquire any ongoing business processes, namely the dealer license, the Ancira Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition, and accordingly, the total purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on their relative fair value. No intangible assets were acquired or recognized as a result of the Ancira Acquisition. The following table summarizes the allocated cost of the assets acquired in the Ancira Acquisition (in thousands): Inventory $ 13,541 Land & land improvements 1,400 Building & improvements 4,849 Machinery & equipment 186 Total purchase price $ 19,976

Notes Payable, Bank and Other Long-Term Debt The Company was obligated under the following debt instruments (in thousands): October 31, 2017 October 29, 2016 Senior secured facility: Senior secured notes, net of debt discount ($0 and $455) and debt issuance costs ($0 and $3,505) $ — $ 176,040 ABL Facility 157,000 80,000 Term Loan, net of debt issuance costs ($1,770 and $0) 72,855 — 229,855 256,040 Less: current maturities (750 ) — Long-term maturities of notes payable, bank and other long-term debt $ 229,105 $ 256,040 Senior Secured Notes On October 21, 2013, the Company issued (“Offering”) $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.5% Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the Offering, together with net proceeds from the Company’s ABL Facility (defined below) were used to finance the acquisition of the commercial bus business of Thor Industries, Inc. in fiscal year 2013 and to repay all outstanding debt existing at the time of the Offering. The Notes were set to mature on November 1, 2019. Interest accrued on the Notes at the rate of 8.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 each year. The Notes were guaranteed by all direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee debt under the Company’s previous ABL Facility described below. The Notes were secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the guarantors’ assets other than accounts receivable and inventory, and related assets, pledged under the Company’s previous ABL Facility. The Notes were also secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the collateral under the Company’s previous ABL Facility. The Notes were effectively subordinated to debt incurred under the Company’s previous ABL Facility, or other permitted debt facilities and obligations, as defined, to the extent of the value of the assets securing the Company’s previous ABL Facility. On October 17, 2016, the Company completed an open market purchase of $20.0 million of its outstanding Notes, which were subsequently cancelled. The Company paid a premium of $0.4 million and accrued interest of $0.8 million as of the date of the purchase. On or after November 1, of the years below, the Company was allowed to redeem all or a part of the Notes at the redemption prices set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date: 104.250% (Year 2016) 102.125% (Year 2017) 100.000% (Year 2018 and thereafter) The Notes were issued with an applicable original issue discount (“OID”) of $1.2 million. The Company also incurred $9.0 million in associated debt issuance costs. On January 17, 2017, the Company issued a Notice of Conditional Redemption, subject to the completion of the Company’s IPO, to redeem all the outstanding Notes at a redemption price of 104.250% plus accrued and unpaid interest. On February 16, 2017, the Company redeemed all Notes which were outstanding as of that date, and retired the debt. As a result of this redemption, the Company recorded a $11.2 million loss associated with the early extinguishment of the debt, which consisted of a prepayment premium of $7.7 million, $3.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and $0.4 million of original issue discount. Term Loan Effective April 25, 2017, the Company entered into a $75.0 million term loan agreement (“Term Loan” and “Term Loan Agreement”), as Borrower with certain subsidiaries of the Company, as Guarantor Subsidiaries. Principal may be prepaid at any time during the term of the Term Loan without penalty. The Company incurred $2.0 million of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan. The Term Loan Agreement allows for incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $125.0 million. Any such incremental facilities are subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions. The Term Loan agreement requires annual payments of $0.8 million per year, with remaining principle payable at maturity, which is April 25, 2022. Applicable interest rate margins for the Term Loan are initially 2.50% for base rate loans and 3.50% for Eurodollar rate loans (with the Eurodollar rate having a floor of 1.00%). Interest is payable quarterly for all base rate loans, and is payable monthly or quarterly for all Eurodollar rate loans. The Company may voluntarily prepay principal, in whole or in part, at any time, without penalty. Beginning in fiscal year 2018, the Company is obligated to prepay certain minimum amounts based on the Company’s excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan is also subject to mandatory prepayment if the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries receives proceeds from certain events, including certain asset sales and casualty events, and the issuance of certain debt and equity interests. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, in each case, subject to customary limitations, exceptions and exclusions. The Term Loan Agreement also contains certain customary events of default. The Term Loan Agreement requires the Company to maintain a specified secured leverage ratio as follows: Through July 31, 2018 4.00 to 1.00 Through July 31, 2019 3.75 to 1.00 Through July 31, 2020 3.50 to 1.00 Through July 31, 2021 3.25 to 1.00 Through April 25, 2022 3.00 to 1.00 The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Term Loan as of October 31, 2017. April 2017 ABL Facility Effective April 25, 2017, the Company entered into a $350.0 million revolving credit and guaranty agreement (the “April 2017 ABL Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The April 2017 ABL Facility consists of: (i) Revolving Loans, (ii) Swing Line Loans, and (iii) Letters of Credit, aggregating up to a combined maximum of $350.0 million. The total amount borrowed under the April 2017 ABL Facility is subject to a $30.0 million sublimit for Swing Line loans and a $35.0 million sublimit for Letters of Credit, along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the ABL Agreement. The Company incurred $4.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the April 2017 ABL Facility. The April 2017 ABL Facility allows for incremental borrowing capacity 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 borrowing capacity is subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions. The April 2017 ABL Facility matures on April 25, 2022. Revolving Loans under the April 2017 ABL Facility bear interest at rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin, or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin. Applicable interest rate margins are initially 0.75% for all base rate loans and 1.75% for all Eurodollar rate loans (with the Eurodollar rate having a floor of 0%), subject to adjustment based on utilization in accordance with the ABL Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly for all base rate loans, and is payable monthly or quarterly for all Eurodollar rate loans. The lenders under the April 2017 ABL Facility have a first priority security interest in substantially all accounts receivable and inventory of the Company, and a second priority security interest in substantially all other assets of the Company. The Company may prepay principal, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty. The April 2017 ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, subject in certain cases to customary limitations, exceptions and exclusions. The April 2017 ABL Facility also contains certain customary events of default, which should such events occur, could result in the termination of the commitments under the April 2017 ABL Facility and the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under it. The April 2017 ABL Facility contains a financial covenant restricting the Company from allowing its fixed charge coverage ratio to drop below 1.00 to 1.00 during a compliance period, which is triggered when the availability under the April 2017 ABL Facility falls below a threshold set forth in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the April 2017 ABL Facility as of October 31, 2017. October 2013 ABL Facility Effective October 21, 2013, the Company entered into a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit and guaranty agreement (the Asset Based Lending “ABL” or the “ABL Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The ABL Facility consisted of: (i) Revolving Loans, (ii) Swing Line Loans, and (iii) Letters of Credit, aggregating up to a combined maximum of $150.0 million. The total amount borrowed was subject to a $15.0 million sublimit for Swing Line Loans, and a $25.0 million sublimit for Letters of Credit, along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the agreement. The Company incurred $3.5 million of debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility. On April 22, 2016, the Company exercised its $50.0 million Incremental Commitment option under the ABL Facility in conjunction with the KME Acquisition, which increased the borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility to $200.0 million at that time. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. On August 19, 2016, the Company amended the ABL Facility to add an Incremental Commitment option of $100.0 million (the “August 2016 Amendment”), and on that date exercised the Incremental Commitment option. The August 2016 Amendment increased the borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility to $300.0 million. All other terms and conditions remained unchanged. On April 25, 2017, the Company repaid all outstanding loans and obligations under the ABL Facility in full, and the ABL Facility was terminated. In connection with the termination of the ABL Facility, the Company recorded a $0.7 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, which consisted entirely of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. All outstanding principal on the ABL Facility was due and payable on the maturity date of October 21, 2018, unless as otherwise amended per the terms of the agreement. Principal could be repaid at any time during the term of the ABL Facility without penalty. The lenders held a first priority security interest in essentially all accounts receivable and inventory of the Company, and a second priority security interest in all other assets of the Company. All obligations under the ABL Facility were effectively subordinate to other debt to the extent of the value of collateral other than accounts receivable and inventory. Revolving Loans under the ABL Facility bore interest at rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin, or a Eurodollar Rate plus an Applicable Margin. Swing Line Loans under the ABL Facility bore interest at a rate equal to a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. Applicable Margins were initially set at 0.75% for Base Rate loans and Swing Line Loans, and 1.75% for Eurodollar loans, and were subject to subsequent adjustment as defined in the agreement. Interest was payable quarterly for all loans in which a Base Rate is applied, and was payable either monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually for all loans in which a Eurodollar Rate was applied. On April 25, 2017, concurrent with entering into the April 2017 ABL Facility, the Company paid all principal on the ABL Facility and retired the debt.

Postemployment Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefits	Note 11. Employee Benefits The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees. The plan allows employees to defer up to 100% of their employment income (subject to annual contribution limits imposed by the I.R.S.) after all taxes and applicable benefit deductions. Each employee who elects to participate is eligible to receive Company matching contributions that are based on employee contributions to the plans, subject to certain limitations. Amounts expensed for the Company’s matching and discretionary contributions were $7.1 million, $6.1 million and $5.4 million during fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company provides paid time off for all employees that meet certain eligibility requirements. The amount of paid time off for an employee is based upon the employee’s tenure with the Company. During fiscal 2017, in order to standardize employee benefit policies across all locations, including acquired companies, the Company implemented an enterprise wide vacation policy for all employees, which resulted in a decrease in other current liabilities.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities	Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities Cash Flow Hedges To protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its receivables denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts. When the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, decreased foreign currency payments are offset by gains in the value of the forward contracts. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, increased foreign currency payments are offset by losses in the value of the forward contracts. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company generally hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a maximum of 12 to 18 months. The ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, which is the remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any, or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, is recognized in earnings immediately during the current period as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements income. A net amount of $0 currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income is expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months. The Company had forward foreign exchange contracts with a gross notional value of $7.8 million and $5.2 million as of October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively, designated as cash flow hedges.

Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingently Redeemable Common Stock	Note 14. Contingently Redeemable Common Stock Shares of common stock which were held by employees were eligible to be put to the Company in accordance with the previous shareholders agreement if certain criteria (as defined in the previous shareholders agreement) were met and the former employee or his or her beneficiaries exercised the option to put the shares to the Company in accordance with the shareholders agreement. As those provisions were not certain of being met, the shares of common stock held by employees were considered contingently redeemable common stock and recorded as temporary equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet until the shares of common stock were either re-purchased by the Company or the put option expired. The put option expired 90 or 180 days after termination of employment, depending on the nature of the termination or upon the sale of the Company or an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock. The value of these shares of common stock are presented at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the Company’s common stock was calculated by estimating the Company’s enterprise value by applying an earnings multiple to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA over the previous 12 months, and deducting outstanding net debt. When the put option was exercised or expires, the shares were re-measured at fair value on that date and reclassified from temporary equity to shareholders’ equity. Changes in the fair value of the contingently redeemable shares of common stock were recorded in retained earnings. During fiscal year 2016, the Company reclassified 456,480 contingently redeemable Class A common shares to shareholders’ equity. During fiscal year 2015, the Company reclassified 1,392,640 contingently redeemable Class A common shares to shareholders’ equity. The Company issued 390,320 contingently redeemable Class A common shares for proceeds of $2,000.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Stock Compensation	Note 15. Stock Compensation In April 2010, the Company’s board of directors approved the Company’s 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). Under the 2010 Plan, key employees, including employees who may also be directors or officers of the Company, outside directors, key consultants and key contractors of the Company may be granted incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and other share-based awards. The 2010 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at not less than the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Stock options terminate not more than ten years from the date of grant. The 2010 Plan allows acceleration of options upon certain events. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options, nonvested restricted stock and performance share awards over the requisite service period for vesting of the award, or to an employee’s eligible retirement date, if earlier and applicable. An aggregate of 8,000,000 shares were reserved for future awards under the 2010 Plan. At October 31, 2017, the Company had 4,253,440 shares available for issuance under the 2010 Plan. With the approval of the 2016 Plan (defined below), the Company will no longer issue share-based awards under the 2010 Plan. In January 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved the REV Group, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Under the 2016 Plan, key employees, including employees who may also be directors or officers of the Company, outside directors, key consultants and key contractors of the Company may be granted incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and other share-based awards. The 2016 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at not less than the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Stock options terminate not more than ten years from the date of grant. The 2016 Plan allows acceleration of share awards upon certain events. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options, nonvested restricted stock and performance share awards over the requisite service period for vesting of the award, or to an employee’s eligible retirement date, if earlier and applicable. An aggregate of 8,000,000 shares were reserved for future awards under the 2016 Plan. At October 31, 2017, the Company had 7,867,707 remaining shares available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Stock Option Awards As a result of the Company’s IPO in January 2017, 1.2 million of equity stock options immediately vested. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $4.4 million resulting from the vesting of these stock options. As of October 31, 2017, the Company could potentially recognize $0.5 million of stock compensation expense if certain performance targets were met or were expected by management to be achieved. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had $1.7 million of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to time based vesting stock options. As of October 31, 2017 and October 29 2016, there were zero and 1,664,000 stock options outstanding, respectively, which were considered liability share awards as the underlying shares were eligible to be sold back to the Company as a result of put rights in the Shareholders Agreement, within a period of time which would not subject the shareholder to the risks and rewards of share ownership for a reasonable period of time. The fair value of the liability share awards was $0 and $9.1 million at October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively. Concurrent with the Company’s IPO, the Company’s Shareholders Agreement was terminated, and as such the put rights from that agreement were no longer available to the Company’s shareholders. As such, the fair value of vested outstanding liability share awards were reclassified to additional paid-in capital during the first quarter of 2017. In addition, upon completion of the Company’s IPO, 1,528,000 of outstanding liability option awards were vested. The vested portion of these outstanding options was re-measured at fair value based upon the $22.00 per share price of the Company’s IPO. The accelerated vesting of the liability awards and remeasurement of the liability to the $22.00 per share price resulted in additional stock compensation expense of $16.2 million during year The key assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 are as follows: 2016 2015 Weighted-average volatility 52.75 - 52.98% 52.59 - 52.73% Weighted-average risk-free interest rate 1.83 - 2.25% 1.93 - 2.37% Weighted-average expected life in years 10.00 10.00 Dividend yield — — Weighted-average grant date fair value per option $ 407.01 $ 358.72 Peer group information is the basis for the selection of the expected weighted-average volatility. The estimated expected life is the option term. The risk-free interest rate is selected based upon yields of United States Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued. Stock option activity for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, was as follows (in thousands, except per share data): Number of Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value of In-the- Money Options Outstanding at October 31, 2014 5,352,532 $ 4.09 6.8 $ 4,773 Granted 368,000 7.00 — — Exercised — — — — Cancelled (894,000 ) 4.60 — — Outstanding at October 31, 2015 4,826,532 $ 4.30 6.0 $ 15,156 Granted 1,000,000 8.00 — — Exercised — — — — Cancelled (2,088,000 ) 4.38 — — Outstanding at October 29, 2016 3,738,532 $ 5.69 7.1 $ 27,735 Granted — — — — Exercised (423,150 ) 6.06 — — Cancelled (251,714 ) 1.16 — — Outstanding at October 31, 2017 3,063,668 $ 5.66 6.2 $ 61,282 Exercisable at October 31, 2017 2,714,782 $ 5.80 — $ 54,304 The aggregate intrinsic value above reflects the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the per share fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price of the stock options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016. The intrinsic value of the Company’s stock options changes based on the changes in the share price of the Company’s common stock. Restricted Stock Units Awards The unvested restricted stock units granted under the 2016 Plan have the right to accrue dividends, but not the right to vote. Dividends are paid in accordance with vesting of the associated restricted stock units. All of the unvested restricted stock units granted under the 2016 Plan vest upon the termination of participants in certain situations and following certain changes of control of the Company.

Temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities include the following items (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2017 October 29, 2016 Deferred tax assets: Product warranty $ 15,817 $ 14,201 Inventory 7,684 5,891 Deferred employee benefits 13,821 9,096 Net operating loss and credit carryforwards 6,208 2,114 Other reserves and allowances 3,426 5,311 Gross deferred tax assets 46,956 36,613 Less valuation allowance (166 ) (154 ) Deferred tax assets 46,790 36,459 Deferred tax liabilities: Intangible assets (45,866 ) (40,817 ) Property, plant and equipment (20,635 ) (12,661 ) Other (1,281 ) (430 ) Deferred tax liabilities (67,782 ) (53,908 ) Net deferred tax liability $ (20,992 ) $ (17,449 ) The net deferred tax assets/ (liabilities) recorded in the consolidated balance sheet are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2017 October 29, 2016 Noncurrent deferred tax asset $ 1,535 $ — Noncurrent deferred tax liability (22,527 ) (17,449 ) Net deferred tax liability $ (20,992 ) $ (17,449 ) As of each balance sheet date, management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance requirements in light of changing facts and circumstances, and may adjust its deferred tax 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 allowance in the future. Such changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances could have a material effect on operating results. At October 31, 2017, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $7.9 million, which are subject to annual limitations and begin to expire in 2029. The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of $9.9 million, which begin to expire in 2027. The Company also has net operating loss carryforwards generated in Canada of $0.6 million which are offset by a valuation allowance because the loss carryforwards are projected to expire prior to being utilized. In addition, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of $4.5 million generated in Brazil with no expiration date. The Company has an AMT credit carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $0.3 million. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S, Canada, Brazil and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016 remain open to tax examination by Canadian, U.S. federal and state tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from examinations to determine the adequacy of its tax reserves. As of October 31, 2017, 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 accruals 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. During fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized in the consolidated statement of income $0.0 million, $0.2 million, and $0.0 million, respectively, for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax liabilities, which the Company recognizes as a part of its provision for income taxes. As of October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, the Company has accrued interest and penalties of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2017 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 Balance at beginning of year $ 2,679 $ 4,166 $ 4,612 Additions (reductions) for tax positions in prior year 90 (1,501 ) 74 Additions for tax positions in current year 161 192 16 Cash settlements with taxing authorities — (34 ) (430 ) Statute of limitations (307 ) (144 ) (106 ) Balance at end of year $ 2,623 $ 2,679 $ 4,166 If recognized, $2.9 million, $2.9 million, and $4.2 million of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2017, October 29, 2016, and October 31, 2015, respectively, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate. A portion of the unrecognized tax benefits relate to state tax issues of acquired companies for which the Company will be indemnified by the seller. As such, an offsetting asset in the amount of $1.1 million is included in other long-term assets. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that federal and state tax resolutions could reduce unrecognized tax benefits and income tax expense by up to $1.1 million, either because the Company’s tax positions are sustained on audit or settled, or the applicable statute of limitations closes.

Related Party Transactions	Note 19. Related Party Transactions During fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company reimbursed its primary equity holder for out of pocket expenses in the amount of $0.6 million, $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Certain production facilities and offices for two of the Company’s subsidiaries are leased from related parties owned by previous members of management. Rent expense paid under these arrangements during fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under these leases are $0.3 million and $0.3 million in fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Company engages with an information technology, software and consulting company (the “IT Consulting Company”) in which the Company’s CEO had a material equity interest. The IT Consulting Company provides software development and installation to the Company. The Company made payments of $2.7 million and $3.0 million in fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively, to the IT Consulting Company. The amounts paid to the IT Consulting Company include payments which are made to another unrelated consulting company. Excluding the payments to this unrelated consulting company, the payments made to the IT Consulting Company were $1.1 million and $1.2 million in fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s CEO has recused himself from receiving any direct economic benefit from the payments made to the IT Consulting Company for the services rendered to the Company. On October 27, 2017 the IT Consulting Company was sold to an unrelated third party and therefore any future consulting business that the Company undertakes with the IT Consulting Company will no longer be considered a related party transaction.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Common Share	Note 20. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including shares of contingently redeemable common stock. 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 outstanding stock options and restricted stock units. The table below reconciles basic weighted-average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015: Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2017 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 60,738,242 51,587,200 52,761,360 Dilutive stock options 1,652,521 186,560 57,600 Dilutive restricted stock units 14,729 — — Diluted weighted-average common shares 62,405,492 51,773,760 52,818,960 The table below represents exclusions from the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding assuming dilution due to the anti-dilutive effect of the common stock equivalents for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015: Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2017 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 Anti-Dilutive Stock Options — 2,312,000 2,668,000 Anti-Dilutive Restricted Stock Units — — — Anti-Dilutive Common Stock Equivalents — 2,312,000 2,668,000

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment Information	Note 21. Business Segment Information The Company is organized into three reportable segments based on management’s process for making operating decisions, allocating capital and measuring performance, and based on the similarity of products, customers served, common use of facilities, and economic characteristics. The Company’s reportable segments are as follows: Fire & Emergency Commercial Recreation 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 for the relevant period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and provision for income taxes, as adjusted for transaction expenses, sponsor expenses, restructuring costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash purchase accounting expenses and stock-based compensation, which the Company 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 income before provision for income taxes is included below. The Company believes that 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 has less bearing on the Company’s core operating performance. The Company believes that utilizing Adjusted EBITDA allows for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within the Company’s industry by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies. The Company also adjusts for exceptional items which are determined to be those that in management’s judgment need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence, which 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. This is consistent with the way that financial performance is measured by management and reported to our Board of Directors, assists in providing a meaningful analysis of the Company’s operating performance and used as a measurement in incentive compensation for management. For purposes of measuring 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 and Other” includes corporate office expenses, results of insignificant operations, intersegment eliminations and income and expense not allocated to reportable segments. Identifiable 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 (in thousands): Fiscal Year 2017 Fire & Emergency Commercial Recreation Corporate and Other Consolidated Sales: Net Sales—External Customers $ 984,036 $ 620,129 $ 659,831 $ 3,787 $ 2,267,783 Net Sales—Intersegment $ — $ 9,359 $ 12,937 $ (22,296 ) $ — Depreciation and amortization $ 14,603 $ 8,459 $ 11,055 $ 3,695 $ 37,812 Capital expenditures $ 9,465 $ 6,388 $ 5,549 $ 32,634 $ 54,036 Identifiable assets $ 605,972 $ 281,607 $ 263,918 $ 102,935 $ 1,254,432 Adjusted EBITDA $ 109,480 $ 50,540 $ 36,220 $ (33,706 ) Fiscal Year 2016 Fire & Emergency Commercial Recreation Corporate and Other Consolidated Sales: Net Sales—External Customers $ 768,053 $ 679,033 $ 478,071 $ 842 $ 1,925,999 Net Sales—Intersegment $ — $ — $ 10,556 $ (10,556 ) $ — Depreciation and amortization $ 9,707 $ 8,095 $ 4,999 $ 1,792 $ 24,593 Capital expenditures $ 9,598 $ 5,943 $ 3,632 $ 18,329 $ 37,502 Identifiable assets $ 410,984 $ 268,980 $ 172,034 $ 37,021 $ 889,019 Adjusted EBITDA $ 85,170 $ 53,414 $ 11,005 $ (26,764 ) Fiscal Year 2015 Fire & Emergency Commercial Recreation Corporate and Other Consolidated Sales: Net Sales—External Customers $ 620,161 $ 701,980 $ 412,940 $ — $ 1,735,081 Net Sales—Intersegment $ — $ — $ 10,039 $ (10,039 ) $ — Depreciation and amortization $ 7,315 $ 8,703 $ 2,634 $ 432 $ 19,084 Capital expenditures $ 3,353 $ 3,301 $ 2,710 $ 6,066 $ 15,430 Identifiable assets $ 276,244 $ 267,188 $ 129,706 $ 22,683 $ 695,821 Adjusted EBITDA $ 63,306 $ 39,095 $ 1,507 $ (13,782 ) Provided below is a reconciliation of segment Adjusted EBITDA to income before provision for income taxes (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2017 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 Fire & Emergency Adjusted EBITDA $ 109,480 $ 85,170 $ 63,306 Commercial Adjusted EBITDA 50,540 53,414 39,095 Recreation Adjusted EBITDA 36,220 11,005 1,507 Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA (33,706 ) (26,764 ) (13,782 ) Depreciation and amortization (37,812 ) (24,593 ) (19,084 ) Interest expense (20,747 ) (29,158 ) (27,272 ) Transaction expenses (5,203 ) (1,629 ) — Sponsor expenses (574 ) (219 ) (1,069 ) Restructuring costs (4,516 ) (3,521 ) (4,652 ) Stock-based compensation expense (26,627 ) (19,692 ) (3,237 ) Non-cash purchase accounting (5,114 ) (770 ) — Loss on early extinguishment of debt (11,920 ) — — Income before provision for income taxes $ 50,021 $ 43,243 $ 34,812 The following tables present net sales by geographic region based on product shipment destination for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands): Fiscal Year 2017 U.S. and Canada Europe/ Africa Middle East Rest of World Total Fire & Emergency $ 969,395 $ 864 $ 5,933 $ 7,844 $ 984,036 Commercial 610,803 — — 9,326 620,129 Recreation 656,539 — — 3,292 659,831 Corporate & Other 3,787 — — — 3,787 Total Net Sales—External Customers $ 2,240,524 $ 864 $ 5,933 $ 20,462 $ 2,267,783 Intersegment Sales $ 22,296 — — — — Corporate Eliminations (22,296 ) — — — — Fiscal Year 2016 U.S. and Canada Europe/ Africa Middle East Rest of World Total Fire & Emergency $ 758,549 $ 653 $ 3,416 $ 5,435 $ 768,053 Commercial 672,673 454 — 5,906 679,033 Recreation 475,021 — — 3,050 478,071 Corporate and other 842 — — — 842 Total Net Sales—External Customers $ 1,907,085 $ 1,107 $ 3,416 $ 14,391 $ 1,925,999 Intersegment Sales $ 10,556 — — — — Corporate Eliminations (10,556 ) — — — — Fiscal Year 2015 U.S. and Canada Europe/ Africa Middle East Rest of World Total Fire & Emergency $ 589,311 $ 720 $ 23,924 $ 6,206 $ 620,161 Commercial 685,382 1,024 188 15,386 701,980 Recreation 407,504 — — 5,436 412,940 Total Net Sales—External Customers $ 1,682,197 $ 1,744 $ 24,112 $ 27,028 $ 1,735,081 Intersegment Sales $ 10,039 — — — — Corporate Eliminations (10,039 ) — — — —

Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
Business Combinations	Business Combinations Assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally include tangible and intangible assets, and contingent assets and liabilities. When available, the estimated fair values of these assets and liabilities are determined based on observable inputs such as quoted market prices, information from comparable transactions, and the replacement cost of assets in the same condition or stage of usefulness (Level 1 and 2). If observable inputs are not available, unobservable inputs are used such as expected future cash flows or internally developed estimates of value (Level 3).
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand, and are maintained with major financial institutions within the United States. Credit ratings of these financial institutions are monitored by management to mitigate risk of loss. At October 31, 2017, the Company had $16.9 million of uninsured cash balances in excess of Federal Depository Insurance Company limits.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable The Company establishes a reserve for specific accounts receivable that are believed to be uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables not specifically known. Historical trends and the Company’s current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Accounts Receivable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016 are stated net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Receivables are written off when management determines collection is highly unlikely and collection efforts have ceased. The change in the allowance for uncollectible accounts is as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2017 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 Beginning balance $ 1,623 $ 768 $ 795 Net recorded expense 767 1,075 620 Write-offs, net of recoveries/payments (1,263 ) (220 ) (647 ) Ending balance $ 1,127 $ 1,623 $ 768

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When property, plant and equipment are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the Company’s balance sheet, with any gain or loss reflected in operations. Accumulated depreciation on capitalized lease assets is included in property, plant and equipment.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of trade names, are not amortized, however, the Company reviews goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicates that its carrying amount may not exceed its fair value. The annual impairment review is performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year based upon information and estimates available at that time. To perform the impairment testing, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of the Company’s reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying amounts as a basis for determining whether or not to perform the quantitative impairment test. Qualitative testing includes the evaluation of economic conditions, financial performance and other factors such as key events when they occur. The Company then estimates the fair value of each reporting unit and each indefinite-lived intangible asset not meeting the qualitative criteria and compares their fair values to their carrying values. Under the quantitative method, the fair value of each reporting unit of the Company is determined by using the income approach and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The income approach involves discounting management’s projections of future cash flows and a terminal value discounted at a discount rate which approximates the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”). Key assumptions used in the income approach include future sales growth, gross margin and operating expenses trends, depreciation expense, taxes, capital expenditures and changes in working capital. Projected future cash flows are based on income forecasts and management’s knowledge of the current operating environment and expectations for the future. The WACC incorporates equity and debt return rates observed in the market for a group of comparable public companies in the industry, and is determined using an average debt to equity ratio of selected comparable public companies, and is also adjusted for risk premiums and the Company’s capital structure. The terminal value is based upon the projected cash flow for the final projected year, and is calculated using estimates of growth of the net cash flows based on the Company’s estimate of stable growth for each financial reporting unit. The inputs and assumptions used in the determination of fair value are considered Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. If the fair value of any reporting unit, as calculated using the income approach, is less than its carrying value, the fair value of the implied goodwill is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill. An impairment charge is recorded for any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value for each reporting unit. When determining the fair value of indefinite-lived trade names, the Company uses the relief from royalty method which requires the determination of fair value based on if the Company was licensing the right to the trade name in exchange for a royalty fee. The Company utilizes the income approach to determine future revenues to which to apply a royalty rate. The royalty rate is based on research of industry and market data related to transactions involving the licensing of comparable intangible assets. In considering the value of trade names, the Company looks to relative age, consistent use, quality, expansion possibilities, relative profitability and relative market potential. The Company has applied the qualitative method for its fiscal 2017 impairment test. As a result of the annual Company’s impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, it was concluded that there is no impairment of such assets for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Self-Insurance	Self-Insurance For employee medical coverage, annual claims of up to $0.4 million per member are the risk of the company. Paid claims during the calendar year greater than $0.4 million for any member are covered under a stop-loss policy with a commercial insurance carrier. Health expenses were $28.7 million, $27.8 million and $23.7 million during fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accrued health benefit liability was $4.4 million and $4.7 million at October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively, and is included as a component of payroll and related benefits and taxes in other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company is insured for workers’ compensation claims under both state and private insurance plans. The Company’s product liability and workers’ compensation accruals including residual claims under previous years SIR programs are also included within other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Accrued workers’ compensation claims totaled $1.0 million and $1.0 million at October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the Company must determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company evaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis or when new information becomes available to management. The evaluations are based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, successfully settled issues under audit and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an increase to the related provision. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $2.9 million and $2.9 million as of October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively. The Company includes interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Liabilities for income taxes payable, accrued interest and penalties that are due within one year of the balance sheet date are included in other current liabilities.

Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues from the sale of parts are recognized when title to products and the risk of loss are transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. Revenue from service agreements is recognized as earned when services are rendered. Intercompany sales are eliminated upon consolidation. Provisions are made for discounts, returns and sales allowances based on management’s best estimate and the historical experience of each business unit. Sales are recorded net of amounts invoiced for taxes imposed on the customer, such as excise or value-added taxes. Customer advances include amounts received in advance of the completion of vehicles or in advance of services being rendered. Such customer advances are recorded as current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet until the vehicle is shipped or the service rendered.

Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Foreign currency forward contracts held or issued by the Company for risk management purposes are traded in over-the counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For these derivatives, the Company measures fair value using the foreign currency spot rate at the reporting period compared to the contractual rate. The estimated carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments recognized and measured at fair value, which consist of foreign currency forward contracts and considered Level 2 inputs, are $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of October 31, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively. The Company determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unrelated market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (Level 3) within the fair value hierarchy established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company applies a “market approach” or an “income approach” to determine fair value. The market approach method uses pricing and other information generated by market transactions for identical or comparable assets and liabilities. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk. In the absence of significant market based inputs, the Company will use an “income approach” to estimate the fair value of the asset. This approach is based on the principle that the present value of the expected income that can be generated from the ownership of the asset approximates its fair value. This approach generally includes management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability including, projected income, a time period over which that income can be earned and an estimate of risk-adjusted discount and capitalization rates. Assets and liabilities are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level (least observable) input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. Based on recent open market transactions, the fair value of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes was approximately $186 million as of October 29, 2016. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding borrowings on its Term Loan and ABL Facility approximates book value. For illustrative purposes, the levels within the FASB fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable, including the company’s own assumptions in determining fair value. The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements, consisting of derivative financial instruments and contingently redeemable common stock (discussed in Note 14, Contingently Redeemable Common Stock), which are valued based upon Level 3 inputs. The Company applies fair value accounting to its non-financial assets and liabilities, which consists principally of indefinite lived intangible assets (for purposes of the Company’s annual impairment test). Change in the fair value of recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands): Contingently Redeemable Common Stock Balance at October 31, 2015 $ 15,350 Change in fair value 10,716 Reclassification of contingently redeemable common stock to permanent equity (3,773 ) Balance at October 29, 2016 $ 22,293 Change in fair value 13,078 Reclassification of contingently redeemable common stock to permanent equity (35,371 ) Balance at October 31, 2017 $ —
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period, which management evaluates periodically. The effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As a matter of policy, the Company only enters into transactions which it believes will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk, and it does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Prior to the Company’s IPO, the fair value of common stock was calculated by determining enterprise value by applying an earnings multiple to the Adjusted EBITDA over the previous 12 months, and deducting outstanding debt, then dividing by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. The assumption for forfeitures is based upon historical experience. As the Company had not historically paid dividends on common stock prior to the IPO, the Company assumed a 0% dividend rate for stock options issued prior to the IPO. Prior to the Company’s IPO, stockholders were party to a shareholders agreement that was amended and restated in its entirety. Due to provisions in that shareholders agreement, a shareholder was allowed to put his or her shares to us under certain circumstances. As such, certain outstanding stock options were considered liability awards and were recorded at intrinsic value, which is the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock and the option strike price and recognized as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Upon becoming a public entity, the Company recorded the liability awards at fair value. As a result of the IPO, the aforementioned put rights expired and the outstanding options were no longer considered liability awards and the fair value of the options were reclassified to shareholders’ equity. Stock compensation expense for restricted and performance stock awards is recorded over the vesting period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The grant date fair value is equal to the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
