Presentation
This press release presents historical results, for the periods
presented, of the Company and its subsidiaries that are presented in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (“GAAP”), unless noted as a non-GAAP financial measure. The
Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and related reorganization
transactions (“Reorganization Transactions”) that occurred on October 6,
2016 resulted in CWH as the sole managing member of CWGS Enterprises,
LLC (“CWGS, LLC”), with sole voting power in and control of the
management of CWGS, LLC. Despite its position as sole managing member of
CWGS, LLC, CWH has a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC. As of
September 30, 2017, CWH owned 34.1% of CWGS, LLC. Accordingly, the
Company consolidates the financial results of CWGS, LLC and reports a
non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements. As
the Reorganization Transactions are considered transactions among
entities under common control, the financial statements for the periods
prior to the IPO and related Reorganization Transactions have been
adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation
purposes. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial comparisons in this
press release compare our financial results from the 2017 third quarter
to our financial results from the 2016 third quarter.
Third Quarter 2017 Results Compared to Third
Quarter 2016 Results
Units and Average Selling Prices
New vehicle units sold increased 33.3% to 19,107 units and the average
selling price of a new vehicle decreased 1.6% to $37,430. The increase
in new vehicle units sold was primarily driven by strong consumer demand
for new vehicles. The decrease in the average selling price of a new
vehicle was driven by a higher mix of lower-priced towable units.
Used vehicle units sold increased 7.2% to 8,557 units and the average
selling price of a used vehicle decreased 3.3% to $22,009. The increase
in used vehicle units sold was primarily driven by sales at new stores.
Revenue
Total revenue increased 25.0% to $1.24 billion from $991.1 million in
last year’s third quarter. Consumer Services and Plans revenue increased
1.6% to $46.2 million and Retail revenue increased 26.1% to $1.19
billion. In the Retail segment, new vehicle revenue increased 31.2% to
$715.2 million primarily driven by the 33.3% increase in new vehicle
unit sales, used vehicle revenue increased 3.7% to $188.3 million,
parts, services and other revenue increased 24.3% to $187.8 million and
finance and insurance revenue increased 50.0% to $101.6 million. Finance
and insurance, net revenue as a percentage of total new and used vehicle
revenue increased to 11.2% from 9.3% in last year’s third quarter.
Same store sales for the base of 115 retail locations that were open
both at the end of the corresponding period and at the beginning of the
preceding fiscal year increased 9.4% to $982.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in same store sales was
primarily driven by a 14.5% increase in new vehicle same store sales, a
30.5% increase in finance and insurance same store sales, and a 1.4%
increase in parts, services and other same store sales, partially offset
by a 7.9% decrease in used vehicle same store sales.
The Company operated a total of 137 Camping World retail locations, two
Overton’s locations, two TheHouse.com locations, and one W82 location as
of September 30, 2017 compared to 120 Camping World retail locations and
zero Overton’s, TheHouse.com, and W82 locations at September 30, 2016.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit increased 27.3% to $356.7 million, or 28.8% of total
revenue, from $280.2 million, or 28.3% of total revenue, in last year’s
third quarter. On a segment basis, Consumer Services and Plans gross
profit increased 2.3% to $26.1 million, or 56.5% of segment revenue,
from $25.5 million, or 56.1% of segment revenue, and Retail gross profit
increased 29.8% to $330.6 million, or 27.7% of segment revenue, from
$254.8 million, or 26.9% of segment revenue, in last year’s third
quarter. A 41 basis point improvement in Consumer Services and Plans
gross margin was primarily driven by an increase in roadside assistance
file size and reduced program costs. A 77 basis point increase in Retail
gross margin was primarily driven by an increase in the finance and
insurance, net revenue as a percentage of total new and used vehicle
revenue to 11.2% of vehicle sales from 9.3% of vehicle sales in last
year’s third quarter, and the 33.3% increase in new units sold.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased 27.0% to $244.6 million from $192.5 million
in last year’s third quarter. Selling, general and administrative
(“SG&A”) expenses increased 26.8% to $236.2 million from $186.3 million
in last year’s third quarter. The increase in SG&A expenses was
primarily driven by the additional expenses associated with the
incremental eighteen dealerships and two Overton’s locations operated
during the third quarter of 2017 versus the prior year period, $7.3
million of pre-opening and payroll costs associated with the Gander
Mountain Acquisition, and $0.5 million of transaction expenses
associated with the acquisition into new or complimentary markets. As a
percentage of total gross profit, SG&A expenses declined 25 basis points
to 66.2% compared to last year’s third quarter. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased 34.8% to $8.4 million primarily due to
the addition of acquired and greenfield locations, and acquired
businesses.
Floor Plan Interest & Other Interest Expenses
Floor plan interest expense increased to $7.4 million from $4.3 million
in last year’s third quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to
higher inventory from new dealership locations and locations expecting
higher unit sales, as well as a 68 basis point increase in the average
floor plan borrowing rate. Other interest expense decreased $1.7 million
to $11.0 million from $12.7 million in last year’s third quarter. The
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in average debt
outstanding, and an 86 basis point decrease in the average interest rate.
Net Income, Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income(1),
Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully
Exchanged and Diluted Share(1)
Net income increased 24.6% to $85.3 million. Adjusted pro forma net
income(1) increased 53.4% to $68.6 million from $44.8
million. Diluted earnings per share(2) was $0.68, and
adjusted pro forma earnings per diluted fully exchanged and diluted share(1)
increased 44.7% to $0.77 from $0.53 in last year’s third quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1)
Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 35.2% to $122.1 million from
$90.3 million and adjusted EBITDA margin(2) increased 74
basis points to 9.9% from 9.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

Earnings Per Share
On October 6, 2016, the limited liability company agreement of CWGS, LLC
was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) provide for a new
single class of common membership interests, the common units of CWGS,
LLC, and (ii) exchange all of the then-existing membership interests in
CWGS, LLC for common units of CWGS, LLC (collectively, the
“Recapitalization”). This Recapitalization changed the relative
membership rights of the owners of membership interests in CWGS, LLC
such that retroactive application of the Recapitalization to periods
prior to the IPO for the purposes of calculating earnings per share
would not be appropriate.
Prior to the IPO, the CWGS, LLC membership structure included membership
units, preferred units, and profits units. The Company analyzed the
calculation of earnings per unit for periods prior to the IPO using the
two-class method and determined that it resulted in a value that would
not be meaningful to the users of the consolidated financial statements.
