Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Basis of Presentation The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of REV Group, Inc. (“REV” or “the Company”) and all its subsidiaries and are prepared in conformity within generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, and April 29, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Note 2. Acquisitions The Company has completed numerous acquisitions over the past several years as a component of its growth strategy. The Company has acquired industry leading brands and technologies to position itself as a leader in the industries served. The Company has accounted for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting to record a new cost basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill in the financial statements. The results of operations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the dates of acquisition. Lance Camper Manufacturing Acquisition On January 12, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the common shares of Lance Camper Mfg. Corp. and its sister company Avery Transport, Inc.

The purchase price for Lance was $65.4 million ($59.4 million net of $6.0 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 the Company’s revolving credit facility. Lance is reported as part of the Recreation segment.

Long-Term Debt	Note 7. Long-Term Debt The Company was obligated under the following debt instruments (in thousands): April 30, 2018 October 31, 2017 Senior secured facility: Revolving credit ABL facility $ 297,000 $ 157,000 Term Loan, net of debt issuance costs ($1,556 and $1,770) 72,694 72,855 369,694 229,855 Less: current maturities (750 ) (750 ) Long-term debt, less current maturities $ 368,944 $ 229,105 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” or “ABL Agreement”) 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 $4.9 million of debt issuance costs related to the April 2017 ABL Facility. The amount of debt issuance costs is included in other long-term assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2018. 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. On December 22, 2017 the Company exercised its $100.0 million incremental commitment option under the April 2017 ABL Facility, which increased total borrowing capacity under the facility from $350.0 million to $450.0 million. The Company incurred an additional $0.4 million of debt issuance costs related to the incremental commitment option under the April 2017 ABL Facility. 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 April 30, 2018. 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 remained 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. 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. 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 principal 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 April 30, 2018. Senior Secured Notes On October 21, 2013, the Company issued (the “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 above), 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 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% (November 1, 2016) 102.125% (November 1, 2017) 100.000% (November 1, 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 OID.

Guarantees [Abstract]
Warranties	Note 8. Warranties The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from several months to several years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Selected components (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) included in the Company’s end products may include warranties from original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”). These OEM warranties are passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products, and the customer deals directly with the applicable OEM for any issues encountered on those components. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability consisted of the following (in thousands): Six Months Ended April 30, 2018 April 29, 2017 Balance at beginning of period $ 40,231 $ 38,808 Warranty provisions 14,009 13,743 Settlements made (17,516 ) (17,554 ) Warranties for current year acquisitions 1,372 3,323 Changes in liability of pre-existing warranties (1,299 ) (34 ) Balance at end of period $ 36,797 $ 38,286 Accrued warranty is classified in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands): April 30, 2018 October 31, 2017 Current liabilities $ 22,693 $ 26,047 Other long-term liabilities 14,104 14,184 Total warranty liability $ 36,797 $ 40,231 Provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs are recorded at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. Certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. At times, warranty issues arise that are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. The potential liability for these issues is evaluated on a case by case basis.

Employee Benefit Plan	Note 9. Employee Benefit Plan The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering substantially all of its 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 $2.8 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively, and $5.5 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities	Note 10. 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 immediately during the current period as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. A net amount of $0.7 million recorded as loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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 $8.0 million and $7.8 million as of April 30, 2018 and October 31, 2017, respectively, designated as cash flow hedges.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Note 12. Earnings Per 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 the three and six months ended April 30, 2018 and April 29, 2017: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, 2018 April 29, 2017 April 30, 2018 April 29, 2017 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 64,577,469 63,722,795 64,429,854 57,541,476 Dilutive stock options 1,689,419 1,773,609 1,944,297 — Dilutive restricted stock units 706 4,926 14,616 — Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 66,267,594 65,501,330 66,388,767 57,541,476 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 the three and six months ended April 30, 2018 and April 29, 2017: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, 2018 April 29, 2017 April 30, 2018 April 29, 2017 Anti-Dilutive Stock Options 77,085 — 77,085 3,633,314 Anti-Dilutive Restricted Stock Units 503,412 — 376,239 48,364 Anti-Dilutive Common Stock Equivalents 580,497 — 453,324 3,681,678

Contingently Redeemable Common Stock	Note 13. Contingently Redeemable Common Stock Prior to the Company’s IPO, shares of common stock held by employees were eligible to be put to the Company in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement if certain criteria (as defined in the 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 these 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 was presented at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Prior to the Company’s IPO, 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 a put option was exercised or expired, 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. In connection with the IPO, the put option of employee-owned shares of common stock was eliminated, resulting in the reclassification of $35.4 million to additional paid-in capital and 1,607,760 contingently redeemable shares to common shares outstanding.

Restructuring Charges	Note 15. Restructuring Charges In the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company restructured certain management positions in its Commercial segment and in its Corporate office, and incurred personnel costs, including severance and other employee benefit payments of $1.5 million. At April 30, 2018, a balance of $0.2 million of the restructuring costs remained unpaid.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 16. Income Taxes For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate based on the projected income for its entire fiscal year and records a provision (benefit) for income taxes on a quarterly basis based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for any discrete tax items. The Company recorded income tax benefit of $11.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2018, or (185.8)% of pre-tax income, compared to a $3.7 million benefit, or 36.5% of pre-tax loss, for the six months ended April 29, 2017. Results for the six months ended April 30, 2018 were favorably impacted by $12.6 million of net discrete tax benefits, including a $10.4 million benefit related to the remeasurement of net deferred tax liabilities as a result of new tax legislation in the United States and $2.3 million benefit related to stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock units under ASU 2016-09. Results for the six months ended April 29, 2017 were favorably impacted by income tax incentives for U.S. manufacturing and research. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was signed and enacted into law. The Tax Reform Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, among other things, lowering the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while also repealing the deduction for domestic production activities and implementing a territorial tax system. As a fiscal year taxpayer, the Company’s federal statutory tax rate reduction is effective January 1, 2018; therefore, the Company’s fiscal year 2018 estimated annual effective tax rate reflects the benefit from the reduced U.S. federal rate of 23.3% for a partial year. A number of other provisions will not impact the Company until fiscal year 2019, such as elimination of the domestic manufacturing deduction and U.S. taxation of foreign earnings. As a result of the Tax Reform Act, the Company recognized a non-cash estimated tax benefit of $10.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 related to the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities at the lower statutory rate based on the timing of expected reversals. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company recorded the estimated income tax impact of the Tax Reform Act. Although the $10.4 million tax benefit represents what the Company believes is a reasonable estimate of the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act on its consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2018, it is a provisional amount and will be impacted by the Company’s ongoing analysis of the legislation and full fiscal year 2018 financial results. Any adjustments to these provisional amounts will be reported as a component of income tax expense (benefit) in the reporting period in which any such adjustments are determined, which will be no later than the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Because of the complexity of the new Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) tax rules, the Company continues to evaluate this provision of the Tax Reform Act and the application of ASC740, Income Taxes. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company has not made a policy election related to potential GILTI tax as we continue to assess the impact of the legislation The Company periodically evaluates its valuation allowance requirements in light of changing facts and circumstances, and may adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances accordingly. It is reasonably possible that the Company will either add to, or reverse a portion of its existing deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future. Such changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances will be reflected in the current operations through the Company’s effective income tax rate. During the three or six months ended April 30, 2018, there were no changes to the Company’s valuation allowances. The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $3.0 million as of April 30, 2018 and $2.9 million as of October 31, 2017. The unrecognized tax benefits are presented in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for the period ended April 30, 2018. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that $1.1 million of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the annual effective income tax rate. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in its consolidated statement of operations. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from examinations to determine the adequacy of its tax reserves. As of April 30, 2018, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax positions it has taken will be sustained upon the resolution of its audits resulting in no material impact on its consolidated financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. However, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from the Company’s estimates and/or from its historical income tax provisions and income tax liabilities and could have a material effect on operating results and/or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, and/or interest assessments related to income tax examinations.

Certain production facilities and offices for two of the Company’s subsidiaries are leased from related parties owned by certain members of management. Rent expense under these arrangements totaled $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2018, and April 29, 2017, respectively. Rent expense under these arrangements totaled $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively. The Company engaged 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 provided software development and installation to the Company. The Company made payments of $1.3 million and $2.7 million during the three and six months ended April 29, 2017, respectively, to the IT Consulting Company. The amounts paid to the IT Consulting Company included payments which are made to another unrelated consulting 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 has undertaken or will undertake with the IT Consulting Company after such date will not be considered a related party transaction.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment Information	Note 19. 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 segments are as follows: Fire & Emergency Commercial Recreation For purposes of measuring financial performance of its business segments, the Company does not allocate to individual business segments costs or items that are of a corporate nature. The caption “Corporate 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. 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, certain legal settlements, non-cash purchase accounting expenses, stock based compensation expense and deferred purchase price payment 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 its industries 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. Selected financial information of the Company’s segments for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and April 29, 2017, is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended April 30, 2018 Fire & Emergency Commercial Recreation Corporate and Other Consolidated Sales: Net Sales—External Customers $ 252,018 $ 157,995 $ 198,794 $ 127 $ 608,934 Net Sales—Intersegment $ — $ 3,499 $ 7,845 $ (11,344 ) $ — Depreciation and amortization $ 4,006 $ 2,830 $ 3,055 $ 1,210 $ 11,101 Capital expenditures $ 1,141 $ 1,277 $ 2,927 $ 4,684 $ 10,029 Identifiable assets $ 613,749 $ 287,998 $ 337,544 $ 119,374 $ 1,358,665 Adjusted EBITDA $ 21,788 $ 9,530 $ 12,735 $ (9,960 ) Three Months Ended April 29, 2017 Fire & Emergency Commercial Recreation Corporate and Other Consolidated Sales: Net Sales—External Customers $ 219,002 $ 159,524 $ 166,337 $ 453 $ 545,316 Net Sales—Intersegment $ — $ 2,980 $ 4,318 $ (7,298 ) $ — Depreciation and amortization $ 2,819 $ 1,748 $ 2,599 $ 687 $ 7,853 Capital expenditures $ 3,570 $ 1,269 $ 428 $ 13,274 $ 18,541 Identifiable assets $ 574,220 $ 265,619 $ 247,830 $ 87,762 $ 1,175,431 Adjusted EBITDA $ 24,399 $ 14,663 $ 7,292 $ (8,793 ) Selected financial information of the Company’s segments for the six months ended April 30, 2018 and April 29, 2017, is as follows (in thousands): Six Months Ended April 30, 2018 Fire & Emergency Commercial Recreation Corporate and Other Consolidated Sales: Net Sales—External Customers $ 467,269 $ 290,234 $ 366,042 $ 245 $ 1,123,790 Net Sales—Intersegment $ — $ 8,082 $ 10,945 $ (19,027 ) $ — Depreciation and amortization $ 8,517 $ 5,572 $ 5,923 $ 2,106 $ 22,118 Capital expenditures $ 2,666 $ 2,265 $ 4,225 $ 14,467 $ 23,623 Identifiable assets $ 613,749 $ 287,998 $ 337,544 $ 119,374 $ 1,358,665 Adjusted EBITDA $ 39,943 $ 13,903 $ 20,826 $ (19,274 ) Six Months Ended April 29, 2017 Fire & Emergency Commercial Recreation Corporate and Other Consolidated Sales: Net Sales—External Customers $ 404,373 $ 289,745 $ 293,043 $ 1,092 $ 988,253 Net Sales—Intersegment $ — $ 2,980 $ 6,482 $ (9,462 ) $ — Depreciation and amortization $ 5,628 $ 3,678 $ 4,756 $ 1,212 $ 15,274 Capital expenditures $ 7,569 $ 2,068 $ 2,160 $ 25,368 $ 37,165 Identifiable assets $ 574,220 $ 265,619 $ 247,830 $ 87,762 $ 1,175,431 Adjusted EBITDA $ 41,112 $ 22,837 $ 10,065 $ (15,342 ) Provided below is a reconciliation of segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, 2018 April 29, 2017 April 30, 2018 April 29, 2017 Fire & Emergency Adjusted EBITDA $ 21,788 $ 24,399 $ 39,943 $ 41,112 Commercial Adjusted EBITDA 9,530 14,663 13,903 22,837 Recreation Adjusted EBITDA 12,735 7,292 20,826 10,065 Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA (9,960 ) (8,793 ) (19,274 ) (15,342 ) Depreciation and amortization (11,101 ) (7,853 ) (22,118 ) (15,274 ) Interest expense, net (6,075 ) (3,416 ) (11,493 ) (10,893 ) Restructuring costs (1,936 ) (335 ) (5,989 ) (1,199 ) Transaction expenses (515 ) (1,861 ) (2,070 ) (2,239 ) Stock-based compensation expense (1,947 ) (311 ) (3,697 ) (25,817 ) Non-cash purchase accounting expense (33 ) (746 ) (668 ) (1,211 ) Sponsor expenses (120 ) (207 ) (315 ) (338 ) Loss on early extinguishment of debt — (11,920 ) — (11,920 ) Legal settlements (192 ) — (902 ) — Deferred purchase price payment (1,854 ) — (2,246 ) — Income (loss) before provision (benefit) benefit for income taxes $ 10,320 $ 10,912 $ 5,900 $ (10,219 )
