TROY, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Skyline Champion Corporation (NYSE: SKY) (“Skyline Champion”) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended December 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2023”).

“We delivered solid sales and earnings growth in the third quarter,” said Mark Yost, Skyline Champion’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “While backlogs continue to trend toward historical levels due to retailer destocking, we saw positive demand in key channels and select markets during the quarter. The momentum in our business continues to be driven by our ability to increase engagement with a growing base of home buyers and highlights our unique offering of value-oriented home solutions. We are confident that Skyline Champion can continue to perform due to our attractive price points, differentiated product offering, and enhanced production capabilities.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
Net sales for the third quarter fiscal 2023 increased 8.9% to $582.3 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the third quarter fiscal 2023 decreased 1.4% to 5,749. Volume levels during the quarter were impacted by reduced production schedules and backlogs normalizing to meet current seasonal demand. The ASP per U.S. home sold increased 13.5% to $94,200 due to the mix of units sold and price increases to offset cost inflation. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter decreased to 273 homes compared to 336 homes in the prior-year period due to a shift in product mix to larger homes and reduced demand in certain markets. Total backlog for Skyline Champion was $532 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to $814 million as of October 1, 2022. Backlogs continued to decrease to more normal levels, following historical highs, due to moderating order rates as retailers continued to destock existing inventory.
Gross profit increased by 10.7% to $174.1 million in the third quarter fiscal 2023 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 29.9% of net sales, a 50-basis point expansion compared to 29.4% in the third quarter fiscal 2022. Gross profit margin improvement is being driven by higher pricing and the increase in retail sales as a percentage of total U.S. sales, resulting from our expansion of retail operations. These increases were partially offset by lower volume and higher input costs.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the third quarter fiscal 2023 increased to $71.8 million from $65.8 million in the same period last year. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 12.3%, consistent with prior year levels. The higher SG&A expense during the quarter was due to additional investments in new capacity and acquisitions as well as investments made to enhance our online customer buying experience partially offset by lower variable compensation expenses.
Net income increased by 22.5% to $82.8 million for the third quarter fiscal 2023 compared to the prior-year period. The increase in net income was driven by the increase in sales and profitability as well as net interest income versus expense last year.
EBITDA for the third quarter fiscal 2023 increased by 12.8% to $109.1 million compared to the third quarter fiscal 2022 driven by an increase in net sales and improved profitability. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 60 basis points to 18.7% due to higher sales and profitability.
As of December 31, 2022, Skyline Champion had $712.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $277.0 million as compared to prior fiscal year end.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) throughout this press release, Skyline Champion has provided non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. Skyline Champion uses these non-GAAP financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors. Skyline Champion believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that Skyline Champion believes are not representative of its core business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of Skyline Champion’s financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Skyline Champion defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss plus, (a) the provision for income taxes, (b) interest income or expense, net, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) gain or loss from discontinued operations, (e) restructuring charges and impairment of assets, (f) other non-operating income and costs, including those for the acquisition and integration or disposition of businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of earnings calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net sales, operating income or earnings per share prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as defined by U.S. GAAP. Skyline Champion believes that Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors to evaluate its performance and that of its competitors. However, Skyline Champion’s use of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in its industry. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled from the respective measure under U.S. GAAP in the tables below. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales reported in the statement of operations.
