1. Basis of Presentation and Business
Nature of Operations: The operations of Champion Homes, Inc., formerly known as Skyline Champion Corporation (the “Company”), consist of manufacturing, retail, construction services, and transportation activities. At June 29, 2024, the Company operated 43 manufacturing facilities throughout the United States (“U.S.”) and 5 manufacturing facilities in western Canada that primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed manufactured and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers, builders/developers, and manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 72 sales centers that sell manufactured houses to consumers across the U.S. The Company's construction services business provides installation and set-up services of factory built homes. The Company’s transportation business engages independent owners/drivers to transport recreational vehicles throughout the U.S. and Canada and manufactured houses in certain regions of the U.S. Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. In the opinion of management, these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date of the filing of this report with the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024 (the “Fiscal 2024 Annual Report”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated income statements, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for the full year.
The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest to March 31. The Company’s current fiscal year, “fiscal 2025,” will end on March 29, 2025 and will include 52 weeks. References to “fiscal 2024” refer to the Company’s fiscal year ended March 30, 2024. The three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 each included 13 weeks, respectively.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost reflects management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience, as well as current economic conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as changes to expected credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. Accounts receivable are reflected net of reserves of $1.8 million and $1.9 million at June 29, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively.
Floor plan receivables consist of loans the Company purchased from Triad Financial Services, Inc. ("Triad") in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 for $18.5 million, of which approximately $1.1 million remains outstanding at June 29, 2024, and amounts loaned by the Company through that financial institution to certain independent retailers for purchases of homes manufactured by the Company, of which $24.2 million was outstanding at June 29, 2024, both of which are carried net of payments received and recorded at amortized cost. The Company intends to hold the floor plan receivables until maturity or payoff. These loans are serviced by the financial institution, to which we pay a servicing fee. Upon execution of the financing arrangement, the floor plan loans are generally payable at the earlier of the sale of the underlying home or two years from the origination date. At June 29, 2024, floor plan receivables are included in other current assets and other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The floor plan receivables are collateralized by the related homes, mitigating loss exposure. The Company and the financial institution evaluate the credit worthiness of each independent retailer prior to credit approval, including reviewing the independent retailer’s payment history, financial condition, and the overall economic environment. We evaluate the risk of credit loss in aggregate on existing loans with similar terms, based on historic experience and current economic conditions, as well as individual retailers with past due balances or other indications of heightened credit risk. The allowance for credit losses related to floor plan receivables was not material as of June 29, 2024. Loans are considered past due if any required interest or curtailment payment remains unpaid 30 days after the due date. Receivables are placed on non-performing status if any interest or installment payments are past due over 90 days. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when interest payments are past due over 90 days. At June 29, 2024, there were no floor plan receivables on nonaccrual status and the weighted-average age of the floor plan receivables was six months.

Interest income from floor plan receivables is recognized on an accrual basis and is included in interest income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Interest income from floor plan receivables for the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 was $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements: In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 (fiscal 2025). We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (fiscal 2026). We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
2. Business Combinations
Regional Homes Acquisition
On October 13, 2023, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Regional Enterprises, LLC and related companies (collectively, "Regional Homes") for total purchase consideration of $316.9 million, net of assumed indebtedness and working capital adjustments. The purchase consideration consisted of net cash of $279.5 million, the issuance of 455,098 shares of common stock equal to approximately $27.9 million, and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $5.9 million. The contingent consideration is related to an earnout provision in the event certain conditions are met per the terms of the purchase agreement, with a maximum earnout amount of $25.0 million. The initial fair value of the earnout was established using a Monte Carlo simulation method and the resulting liability is recorded in other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the method and timing of measuring the earnout was amended, which resulted in a charge of $7.9 million which is reflected in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting provided by FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). As such, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired, inclusive of intangible assets, with the excess fair value recorded to goodwill. The purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary valuation information available to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including goodwill, and is subject to change as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the valuation date. The Company expects to finalize the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the one-year measurement period.
The following table presents the consideration transferred and the purchase price allocation:
| Description | Amount | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair value of consideration transferred | |||
| Fair value of Champion Homes, Inc. common stock issued as consideration (455,098 shares at $61.20) | $ | 27,852 | |
| Cash consideration, net of cash acquired | 279,545 | ||

Champion Homes, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
Trade accounts receivable, other assets, floor plan and accounts payable, long-term debt and other liabilities are generally stated at historical carrying values as they approximate fair value. Retail inventories are reflected at manufacturer wholesale prices. Intangible assets include $16.9 million in customer relationships and $24.9 million in trade names and are based on an independent appraisal. The fair value of customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and fair value of the trade name was determined using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company estimated that each intangible asset has a weighted average useful life of ten years from the acquisition date. Fair value estimates of property, plant, and equipment were based on independent appraisals, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the appraisals were drawn from a combination of market, cost, and sales comparison approaches, as appropriate. Level 3 fair value estimates of $86.2 million related to property, plant, and equipment and $41.8 million related to intangible assets were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date. For further information on acquired assets measured at fair value, see Note 5, Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Cloud Computing Arrangements.
The acquisition of Regional Homes was a taxable business combination. Therefore, the Company’s tax basis in the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed approximate the respective fair values at the acquisition date.
3. Inventories, net
The components of inventory, net of reserves for obsolete inventory, were as follows:
| (Dollars in thousands) | June 29, 2024 | March 30, 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raw materials | $ | 101,828 | $ | 101,429 |
| Work in process | 23,880 | 23,436 | ||
| Finished goods and other | 194,250 | 193,872 | ||
| Total inventories, net | $ | 319,958 | $ | 318,737 |
At June 29, 2024 and March 30, 2024, reserves for obsolete inventory were $10.0 million and $10.1 million, respectively.
4. Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated primarily on a straight-line basis, generally over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements – 3 to 10 years; buildings and improvements – 8 to 25 years; and vehicles and machinery and equipment – 3 to 8 years. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 was $7.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively.
The components of property, plant, and equipment were as follows:
| (Dollars in thousands) | June 29, 2024 | March 30, 2024 | ||||

5. Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Cloud Computing Arrangements
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. At June 29, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the Company had goodwill of $358.0 million. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units included in the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment, which include the Company’s U.S. manufacturing and retail operations. At June 29, 2024, there were no accumulated impairment losses related to goodwill.
Intangible Assets
The components of amortizable intangible assets were as follows:

During the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, amortization of intangible assets was $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
Cloud Computing Arrangements
The Company capitalizes costs associated with the development of cloud computing arrangements in a manner consistent with internally developed software. At June 29, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the Company had capitalized cloud computing costs, net of amortization of $25.5 million and $25.7 million, respectively. Cloud computing costs are included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of capitalized cloud computing costs for both the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 was $0.2 million.
6. Investment in ECN Capital Corporation
In September 2023, the Company entered into a share subscription agreement with ECN Capital Corp. ("ECN") and made a $137.8 million equity investment in ECN on a private placement basis. The Company purchased 33.6 million common shares, representing approximately 12% of the total outstanding common shares of ECN, and 27.5 million mandatory convertible preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 4.0%. Following the private placement, the Company owns approximately 19.9% of the voting shares of ECN.
The Company's interest in the common stock investment in ECN is accounted for under the equity method and the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of ECN are recorded on a three-month lag. For the three months ended June 29, 2024, the Company's share of ECN's losses was $1.2 million. There were no earnings or losses recognized related to the equity method investment for the three months ended July 1, 2023. Dividends received on the investment in common stock of ECN are reflected as a reduction to the investment balance and are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows using the nature of the distribution approach. At June 29, 2024, the investment in the common stock of ECN totaled $70.1 million, including $3.1 million of capitalized transaction costs, and is included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate value of the Company’s investment in the common stock of ECN based on quoted market price of ECN’s common stock at June 29, 2024 was approximately $41.0 million. We assess our investment in ECN common stock for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis or when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired. We do not consider the difference in the fair market value of ECN common stock and our investment balance to be other than temporary at June 29, 2024.
The Company's investment in the Preferred Shares is included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment is measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value. The carrying amount of $64.5 million at June 29, 2024 represents the purchase price and capitalized transaction costs of $2.5 million. There have been no adjustments to the carrying amount or impairment of the investment. For the three months ended June 29, 2024, the

ECN, a related party, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Triad Financial Services ("Triad"), provides loan servicing for the Company's floor plan receivables, for which we pay a fee that was immaterial for the three months ended June 29, 2024. Triad also provides floor plan financing of the Company's products to independent retailers. At June 29, 2024, the Company had repurchase commitments of $100.9 million on retailer floor plan loans outstanding with Triad.

| Total long-term debt | $ | 24,684 | $ | 24,669 |
On July 7, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million, including a $45.0 million letter of credit sub-facility ("Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Company's previously existing $100.0 million revolving credit facility. The Amended Credit Agreement allows the Company to draw down, repay and re-draw loans on the available funds during the term, subject to certain terms and conditions, matures in July 2026, and has no scheduled amortization.

Champion Homes, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
On May 18, 2023, the Company further amended the Amended Credit Agreement, which removed references to the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") and clarified language pertaining to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") in regards to the interest rate on borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement is based on SOFR plus a SOFR adjustment, plus an interest rate spread. The interest rate spread adjusts based on the consolidated total net leverage of the Company from a high of 1.875% when the consolidated total net leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 2.25:1.00, to a low of 1.125% when the consolidated total net leverage ratio is below 0.50:1.00. Alternatively for same day borrowings, the interest rate is based on an Alternative Base Rate ("ABR") plus an interest rate spread that ranges from a high of 0.875% to a low of 0.125% based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay an unused line fee ranging between 0.15% and 0.3% depending on the consolidated total net leverage ratio, in respect of unused commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. At June 29, 2024 the interest rate under the Amended Credit Agreement was 6.56% and letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Agreement totaled $31.5 million. Available borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 29, 2024 was $168.5 million.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains covenants that restrict the amount of additional debt, liens and certain payments, including equity buy-backs, investments, dispositions, mergers and consolidations, among other restrictions as defined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 29, 2024.
Obligations under industrial revenue bonds are supported by letters of credit and bear interest based on a municipal bond index rate. The weighted-average interest rate at June 29, 2024, including related costs and fees, was 5.35%. The industrial revenue bonds require lump-sum payments of principal upon maturity in
2029
and are secured by the assets of certain manufacturing facilities. As part of the acquisition of Regional Homes, the Company assumed notes payable to Romeo Juliet, LLC, a subsidiary of Wells Fargo Community Investment Holdings, Inc. ("WFC"). The weighted-average interest rate on those notes at June 29, 2024 was 5.42%. The notes are secured by certain assets of Regional Homes. In addition, the Company assumed a note payable to United Bank with an interest rate of 3.85% that is secured by a note receivable from HHB Investment Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of WFC.
Floor Plan Payable
The Company’s retail operations utilize floor plan financing to fund the purchase of manufactured homes for display or resale. At June 29, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding borrowings on floor plan financing agreements of $92.9 million and $91.3 million, respectively. Total credit line capacity provided under the agreements was $223.0 million as of June 29, 2024. The weighted average interest rate on the floor plan payable was 7.36% at June 29, 2024. Borrowings are secured by the homes and are required to be repaid when the Company sells the related home to a customer.

11. Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, the Company recorded $13.7 million and $17.3 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 22.5% and 25.2%, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of state and local income taxes, non-deductible expenses, tax credits, and results in foreign jurisdictions.
At June 29, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.
12. Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share attributable to the Company was computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average outstanding common shares, including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

13. Segment Information
Financial results for the Company's reportable segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments primarily based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and operating assets.
The Company operates in two reportable segments: (i) U.S. Factory-built Housing, which includes manufacturing and retail housing operations and (ii) Canadian Factory-built Housing. Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation operations, corporate costs directly incurred for all segments and intersegment eliminations. Segments are generally determined by geography. Segment data includes intersegment revenues and corporate office costs that are directly and exclusively incurred for each segment. Total assets for Corporate/Other primarily include cash and certain U.S. deferred tax items not specifically allocated to another segment.

14. Commitments, Contingencies, and Legal Proceedings
Repurchase Contingencies and Guarantees
The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to retailers. These arrangements, which are customary in the manufactured housing industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer on its agreement to pay the financial institution. The risk of loss from these agreements is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous retailers. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product less contractually defined curtailment payments. Based on these repurchase agreements and our historical loss experience, we established an associated loss reserve which was $1.8 million at June 29, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively. Excluding the resale value of the homes, the contingent repurchase obligation as of June 29, 2024 was estimated to be $280.0 million. Losses incurred on homes repurchased were immaterial during the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023.

Champion Homes, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
At June 29, 2024, the Company was contingently obligated for $31.5 million under letters of credit, consisting of $12.6 million to support long-term debt, $18.5 million to support the casualty insurance program, and $0.3 million to support bonding agreements. The letters of credit are issued from a sub-facility of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was also contingently obligated for $15.9 million under surety bonds, generally to support performance on long-term construction contracts and license and service bonding requirements.
In the normal course of business, the Company’s former subsidiaries that operated in the United Kingdom historically provided certain guarantees to two customers. Those guarantees provide contractual liability for proven construction defects up to 12 years from the date of delivery of certain products. The guarantees remain a contingent liability of the Company which declines over time through October 2027. As of the date of this report, the Company expects few, if any, claims to be reported under the terms of the guarantees.
Product Liability - Water Intrusion
The Company has received consumer complaints for damages related to water intrusion in homes built in one of its manufacturing facilities prior to fiscal 2022. The Company has investigated, and believes, the cause of the damage is the result of materials that did not perform in accordance with the manufacturer's contractual obligations. The Company has identified that certain homes constructed over that period that may be affected. Based on the results of ongoing investigation and repair efforts, the Company has developed and HUD has approved a remediation plan under Subpart I of the HUD code. The plan calls for inspection and repair of affected homes if there is evidence of damage, or procedures to mitigate the opportunity for future damage. As a result of the proposal, the Company recorded charges to execute the remediation plan of $34.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company estimated the charges by establishing a range of total expected costs determined by an actuary using a Monte Carlo simulation. The analysis resulted in a range of losses between $34.5 million and $85.0 million. The Company was not able to determine a value in the range that was more likely than any other value, and as prescribed by U.S. GAAP, recorded the charge for remediation based on the low end of the range of potential losses. The Company will monitor the results of the inspection and repair activities, including actual repair costs, and may revise the amount of the estimated liability, which could result in an increase or decrease in the estimated liability in future periods. The liability is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Based on the Company's investigation into the cause of the water intrusion, including third-party testing of the material at issue, the Company believes it is possible that it will recover some or all of the estimated remediation costs. The Company will attempt to recover those costs from the manufacturer of the material, the distributor of the material, their related insurance providers or from the Company's insurance providers. However, the Company is unable to record an offset for any estimated costs at this time in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Legal Proceedings
The Company has agreed to indemnify counterparties in the ordinary course of its business in agreements to acquire and sell business assets and in financing arrangements. The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. As of the date of this filing, the Company believes the ultimate liability with respect to these contingent obligations will not have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’ S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with Champion Homes, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear in Item 1 of this Report.
Overview
Champion Homes, Inc., formerly known as Skyline Champion Corporation (the “Company”), is a leading producer of factory-built housing in the U.S. and Canada. The Company serves as a complete solutions provider across complementary and vertically integrated businesses including factory-built home manufacturing, company-owned retail locations, construction services, and transportation logistics services. The Company markets its homes under several nationally recognized brand names including Champion Homes, Genesis Homes, Skyline Homes, Regional Homes, Athens Park Models, Dutch Housing, Atlantic Homes, Excel Homes, Homes of Merit, New Era, Redman Homes, ScotBilt Homes, Shore Park, Silvercrest, and Titan Homes in the U.S., and Moduline and SRI Homes in western Canada. The Company operates 43 manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. and five manufacturing facilities in western Canada that primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed, manufactured and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers, builders/developers, and manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 72 sales centers that sell manufactured homes to consumers across the U.S. The Company’s transportation business engages independent owners/drivers to transport manufactured homes, recreational vehicles, and other products throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Acquisitions and Expansions
The Company is focused on operational improvements to increase capacity utilization and profitability at its existing manufacturing facilities as well as measured expansion of its manufacturing and retail footprint through facility and equipment investments and acquisitions. Those investments will help improve the Company's ability to satisfy demand for affordable housing. During fiscal 2023, robust demand for housing began to slow as inflation and higher interest rates made housing less affordable. The current economic environment drives an even greater need for attainable housing solutions. As a result, the Company continues to focus on growing in strong housing markets across the U.S. and Canada, as well as expanding products and services to provide more holistic and affordable solutions to homebuyers.
In October 2023, the Company acquired Regional Homes, which operated three manufacturing facilities in Alabama and 44 retail sales centers across the Southeast U.S. Regional Home's strong presence in large HUD markets. greatly expanded our captive retail and manufacturing distribution in that region. In July 2022, the Company acquired 12 Factory Expo retail sales centers from Alta Cima Corporation, which expanded the internal retail network across a broader portion of the U.S. In May 2022, the Company acquired Manis Custom Builders, Inc. ("Manis") in order to expand its manufacturing footprint and further streamline its product offering in the Southeast U.S.
In addition to those acquisitions, the Company is also focused on enhancing its U.S. manufacturing production capacity through various plant start-ups in strategic locations. As a result, the Company began production in previously idled or acquired facilities in Decatur, Indiana and Bartow, Florida in fiscal 2024 and a facility in Pembroke, North Carolina in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company owns six idle manufacturing facilities that could be used for further manufacturing capacity expansion in future periods.
During fiscal 2024, the Company made an equity investment in ECN. The investment, in part, facilitated the creation of a captive finance company in partnership with Triad, a subsidiary of ECN. The captive finance company, Champion Financing, provides factory-built home floor plan and consumer loans to manufactured home retailers and homebuyers. The Company believes this offering will provide customers needed financing solutions and improve the Company's market share.
The Company's acquisitions and investments are part of a strategy to grow and diversify revenue with a focus on increasing the Company’s homebuilding presence in the U.S. as well as improving the results of operations through streamlining production of similar product categories. These acquisitions and investments are included in the Company's consolidated results for periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates.
Industry and Company Outlook
The need for newly built affordable, single-family housing has continued to drive demand for new homes in the U.S. and Canadian markets. In recent years, manufactured home construction experienced revenue growth due to a number of favorable demographic trends and demand drivers in the United States, including underlying growth trends in key homebuyer groups, such as the population over 55 years of age, the population of first-time home buyers, and the population of households earning less than $60,000 per year. More recently, we have seen a number of market trends pointing to increased sales of ADUs and rent-to-own single-family options.
Because of the need for affordable housing, the Company saw an increase in customers orders during three months ended June 29, 2024 versus the same period last year that outpaced production rates. As a result, the Company's backlog was $404.8 million as of June 29, 2024 compared to $260.0 million as of July 1, 2023.
For the three months ended June 29, 2024, approximately 88% of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing sales were generated from the manufacture of homes that comply with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") code construction standard in the U.S. Industry shipments of HUD-code homes are reported on a one-month lag. According to data reported by the Manufactured Housing Institute, HUD-code industry home shipments were 27,024 and 22,217 units during the three months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Based on industry data, the Company’s U.S. wholesale market share of HUD code homes sold was 21.3% and 18.0%, for the three months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Annual HUD-code industry shipments have generally increased since calendar year 2009 when only 50,000 HUD-coded manufactured homes were shipped, the lowest level since the industry began recording statistics in 1959. Annual industry shipments have generally increased each year since calendar year 2009 when only 50,000 HUD-coded manufactured homes were shipped, the lowest level since the industry began recording statistics in 1959. While shipments of HUD-coded manufactured homes have improved modestly in recent years, current manufactured housing shipments are still at lower levels than the long-term historical average of over 200,000 units per year. Manufactured home sales represent approximately 9% of all U.S. single family home starts. Our market share in the U.S total housing market was approximately 2.5% for the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to 1.9% for the same period in the prior year.

Net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2024 were $627.8 million, an increase of $163.0 million, or 35.1%, compared to the three months ended July 1, 2023. The following is a summary of the change by operating segment.
U.S. Factory-built Housing:
Net sales for the Company’s U.S. manufacturing and retail operations increased by $170.7 million, or 39.8%, for the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of $151.5 million of net sales from Regional Homes in fiscal 2025. The number of new homes sold during the period increased 35.7% and the average selling price per new home increased 3.0%. The increase in the number of homes sold was due to higher customer demand and production volumes compared to the prior year, and the inclusion of Regional Homes in fiscal 2025. The increase in average selling price was due to the increase in the number of units sold through our company-owned retail sales centers, also in part a result of the addition of Regional Homes. The mix of wholesale unit sales versus homes sold through our company-owned stores impacts average selling price. During the three months ended June 29, 2024, wholesale average selling price per new home decreased due to the decrease in material surcharges and changes in product mix, including customers choosing homes with fewer or lower cost options.
Canadian Factory-built Housing:
The Canadian Factory-built Housing segment net sales decreased by $5.3 million, or 20.4% for the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a 24.4% decrease in homes sold partially offset by a 5.4% increase in average home selling price. The increase in average home selling price was primarily due to a change in product mix. The decrease in homes sold is due to slowing demand. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Canadian segment were unfavorably impacted by approximately $0.2 million due to fluctuations in the translation of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 29, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Corporate/Other:
Net sales for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation business and the elimination of intersegment sales. For the three months ended June 29, 2024, net sales decreased $2.4 million, or 24.5%, primarily attributable to continued decreases of shipments of recreational vehicles as part of a shift in focus of this business unit to expanding shipments of manufactured housing.

Gross profit as a percent of sales during the three months ended June 29, 2024 was 26.2% compared to 27.9% during the three months ended July 1, 2023. The following is a summary of the change by operating segment.
U.S. Factory-built Housing:
Gross profit for the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment increased by $35.9 million, or 30.3%, during the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit was 25.7% as a percent of segment net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to 27.6% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of segment net sales is being driven by lower wholesale average selling prices and changes in product mix to homes with fewer or lower cost options. In addition, gross margins were negatively impacted by the effect of purchase accounting increases to the carrying value of inventory that was acquired in the Regional Homes acquisition.
Canadian Factory-built Housing:
Gross profit for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment decreased by $1.7 million, or 23.8%, during the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 25.7% for the three months ended June 29, 2024, compared to 26.9% in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to less absorption of fixed costs due to lower sales volumes.
Corporate/Other:
Gross profit for the Corporate/Other segment increased $0.3 million, or 7.1%, during the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

U.S. Factory-built Housing:
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the U.S. Factory-built Housing segment increased $34.1 million, or 66.4%, during the three months ended June 29, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Selling, general, and administrative expenses, as a percent of segment net sales increased to 14.2% for the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to 12.0% during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The acquisition of Regional Homes was the primary driver of the increase. In addition, the Company incurred a charge of $7.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration included in the acquisition of Regional Homes.
Canadian Factory-built Housing:
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the Canadian Factory-built Housing segment increased $0.3 million, or 11.1%, for the three months ended June 29, 2024 when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of segment net sales increased to 14.0% for the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to 10.0% during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year due to less absorption of fixed costs from lower sales.
Corporate/Other:
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for Corporate/Other includes the Company’s transportation operations, corporate costs incurred for all segments, and intersegment eliminations. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for Corporate/Other increased $4.0 million, or 24.4%, during the three months ended June 29, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was due primarily to higher incentive and stock-based compensation expenses and investments made to enhance our online customer experience and support systems.

Interest income, net was $4.2 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024, compared to $9.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The change was primarily due to lower interest income from lower average invested cash balances and higher interest expense from larger average floor plan payables and long-term debt balances assumed in the acquisition of Regional Homes.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 29, 2024 was positively impacted by an increase in recognition of tax credits related to the sale of energy efficient homes.
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 differ from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of state and local income taxes, non-deductible expenses, tax credits, and results in foreign jurisdictions.

* indicates that the calculated percentage is not meaningful
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 29, 2024 was $75.0 million, an increase of $8.1 million from the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily a result of higher sales volumes and gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, primarily due to the inclusion of Regional Homes.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss plus expense or minus income: (a) the provision for income taxes; (b) interest (income) expense, net; (c) depreciation and amortization; (d) gain or loss from discontinued operations; (e) non-cash restructuring charges and impairment of assets; (f) equity in net earnings or losses of ECN; (g) charges related to the remediation of the water intrusion product liability claims; and (h) other non-operating income and costs, including but not limited to those costs for the acquisition and integration or disposition of businesses, including the change in fair value of contingent consideration, and idle facilities. 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, which is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s financial performance that management believes is useful to investors, because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company’s operating activities across reporting periods. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating operating performance for the following reasons: (i) Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-operating income or loss, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; and (ii) analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in the industry.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of internal annual operating budget and periodic forecasts: (i) in communications with the Board of Directors and investors concerning financial performance; (ii) as a factor in determining bonuses under certain incentive compensation programs; and (iii) as a measure of operating performance used to determine the ability to provide cash flows to support investments in capital assets, acquisitions and working capital requirements for operating expansion.
BACKLOG
Although orders from customers can be canceled at any time without penalty, and unfilled orders are not necessarily an indication of future business, the Company’s unfilled U.S. and Canadian manufacturing orders at June 29, 2024 totaled $404.8 million compared to $260.0 million at July 1, 2023. The increase in backlog is due to higher net orders and the acquisition of Regional Homes.

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and existing cash balances. Cash balances and cash flows from operations for the next year are expected to be adequate to cover working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and strategic initiatives and investments. The Company has an Amended Credit Agreement which provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $45.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. At June 29, 2024, $168.5 million was available for borrowing under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company’s revolving credit facility includes (i) a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.00, subject to an upward adjustment upon the consummation of a material acquisition, and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. The Company anticipates compliance with its debt covenants and projects its level of cash availability to be in excess of cash needed to operate the business for the next year and beyond. In the event operating cash flow and existing cash balances were deemed inadequate to support the Company’s liquidity needs, and one or more capital resources were to become unavailable, the Company would revise its operating strategies.
Cash provided by operating activities was $84.6 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to $74.9 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher income before non-cash charges related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration for the Regional Homes acquisition and the loss on equity method investments, and more favorable changes in working capital items during the first three months of fiscal 2025 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Cash used in investing activities was $9.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to $25.6 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was related to the Company's investment in floor plan loans in fiscal 2024, which did not recur in fiscal 2025.
Cash used in financing activities was $20.6 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023. The change in cash between periods was primarily due to share repurchases of $20.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. As of June 29, 2024, there was approximately $80.0 million remaining on a board-approved share repurchase program. On August 1, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase to the share repurchase program to increase the authorization to repurchase the Company's common stock by an additional $20.0 million.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act at June 29, 2024. Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 29, 2024.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of Regional Homes and are currently integrating Regional Homes into our operations, compliance programs and internal control processes. Regional Homes constituted approximately 26% of our total assets as of June 29, 2024, including the goodwill and intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase price allocation and approximately 24% of our net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2024. United States Securities and Exchange Commission guidance allows companies to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of the internal control over financial reporting during the first year following an acquisition while integrating the acquired company. We have excluded the acquired operations of Regional Homes from our assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes, product liability claims and other matters.

2018 Equity Incentive Plan
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (Employees)
This agreement (this “Agreement”) evidences an award (the “Award”) of restricted stock units granted by Champion Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) to the individual named above (the “Participant”), pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”).
Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award. The Company grants to the Participant on the date set forth above (the “Date of Grant”) the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above giving the Participant the conditional right to receive, without payment and pursuant to and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, one share of Stock (a “Share”) with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit forming part of the Award, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Restricted Stock Units” used throughout this Agreement refers to the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement and not to restricted stock units that may or have been granted pursuant to a separate document.
Meaning of Certain Terms. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as provided in the Plan. The following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Change in Control” means (i) any transaction or series of related transaction in which any Person (or group of Persons acting together) acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of all of the Shares or more than fifty percent (50%) of all the voting power of the Shares, whether by reason of merger, consolidation or recapitalization or any other transaction (including the issuance of new Shares), whether or not the Company is a party thereto; or (ii) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (or group of Persons acting together); provided, that no event shall be a Change in Control under this Agreement unless such event constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation under Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
“Dividend Equivalent” means a dividend equivalent received in connection with (x) any regular dividend declared on Shares that is payable in cash or (y) any regular dividend declared on Shares that is payable in Shares, for each Share deliverable in respect of a Restricted Stock Unit.
“Good Reason” shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Participant’s employment, severance-benefit or other similar agreement with the Company or a subsidiary that contains a definition of “Good Reason.” The Good Reason-related provisions of this Agreement shall cease to apply in the event that the agreement identified in the immediately preceding sentence ceases to be in effect.
“Person” means any natural person, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust, joint stock company, business trust, unincorporated association, joint venture, governmental authority or other legal entity of any nature whatsoever.
Vesting; Cessation of Employment.
Vesting. Unless earlier terminated, forfeited, relinquished or expired, the Restricted Stock Units will vest as set forth in this Section 3(a), subject to the Participant remaining in continuous Employment from the Date of Grant through such vesting date.
Subject to Section 3(a)(ii) and Section 3(a)(iii) below, one-third of the Restricted Stock Units will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date, with the number of Restricted Stock Units that vest on any such date being rounded down to the nearest whole Share and the Award becoming vested as to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Restricted Stock Units on the third anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date.
Subject to Section 3(a)(iii) below, in the event the Participant’s Employment is terminated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries without Cause or if the Participant terminates his or her Employment for Good Reason (each such termination of Employment, a “Qualifying Termination”), and to the extent that any Restricted Stock Units are outstanding immediately prior to such Qualifying Termination but not then vested, that number of Restricted Stock Units that, in the absence of such Qualifying Termination, would have become vested on the next vesting date following such Qualifying Termination pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3(a)(i) hereof will automatically vest in full upon the occurrence of such Qualifying Termination.
In the event of the termination of the Participant’s Employment due to the Participant’s death or the Company’s or a subsidiary’s termination of the Participant’s Employment due to the Participant’s Disability, and to the extent that any Restricted Stock Units are outstanding immediately prior to such termination of Employment but not then vested, all such unvested Restricted Stock Units shall become fully-vested upon the occurrence of such termination of Employment.
-2-
- Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 3 to the contrary, the RSUs shall become fully vested upon the occurrence of both (A) a Change in Control and (B) a Qualifying Termination that occurs within twelve months following the Change in Control.
- Cessation of Employment. Unless as set forth in Sections 3(a)(ii) and 3(a)(iii) above or as otherwise determined by the Administrator in connection with the final sentence of this Section 3(b), automatically and immediately upon the cessation of the Participant’s Employment (i) the unvested portion of this Award, including corresponding Dividend Equivalents, will terminate and be forfeited for no consideration, and (ii) the vested portion of this Award, if any (including corresponding Dividend Equivalents), will terminate and be forfeited for no consideration if the Participant’s Employment is terminated for Cause or occurs in circumstances that in the determination of the Administrator would have constituted grounds for the Participant’s Employment to be terminated for Cause. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall have discretion to determine vesting treatment of any then-unvested Restricted Stock Units in the event the Participant’s Employment terminates due to retirement, including establishing a policy permitting vesting based on the Participant’s age and years of service.
- Restrictive Covenants. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she shall be bound by the Covenants Regarding Competition, Solicitation and Confidentiality set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
- Delivery of Shares and Dividend Equivalents.
- Delivery. Subject to Section 5(b), Section 6, and Section 9(a) below, the Company shall effect delivery of the Shares with respect to such vested Restricted Stock Units to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, to the person to whom the Award has passed by will or the laws of descent and distribution) upon (i) the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units. No Shares will be issued pursuant to this Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such Shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Administrator.
- Dividend Equivalents. Any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to the Shares associated with the Restricted Stock Units shall be delivered on the same date on which such Shares are delivered, if at all. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any Share with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit is not delivered due to the operation of Section 3, the Dividend Equivalent with respect to such Share shall be forfeited and cancelled without any consideration therefor.
- Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation. The Administrator may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict this Award at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, this Award, the Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights, and those of any permitted transferee of this Award, under this Award,
-3-
- including the right to any Shares acquired under this Award or proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan (including any successor provision). Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 11 of this Agreement.
- Dividends; Other Rights. This Award may not be interpreted to bestow upon the Participant any equity interest or ownership in the Company or any subsidiary prior to the date on which the Company delivers Shares to the Participant. The Participant is not entitled to vote any Shares by reason of the granting of this Award. The Participant will have the rights of a shareholder only as to those Shares, if any, that are actually delivered under this Award. The Participant will be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to Restricted Stock Units in accordance with this Section 7. Any such Dividend Equivalents will entitle the Participant to receive, subject to the terms of this Agreement, a payment equal to the amount that the Participant would have received as a regular dividend had the Participant held the Shares deliverable in respect of such Restricted Stock Units at the time such dividend was paid. Any Dividend Equivalents with respect to an unvested Restricted Stock Unit will be paid, if at all, in cash, in the case of a cash dividend, or in cash and/or Shares, as determined by the Administrator, in the case of a distribution of Shares, in either case, in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement.
- Nontransferability. This Award may not be transferred except as expressly permitted under Section 6(a)(3) of the Plan.
- Taxes.
- The Participant expressly acknowledges that the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units acquired hereunder and the payment of any Dividend Equivalents shall give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. No Shares will be delivered or Dividend Equivalents paid pursuant to this Award unless and until the Participant has remitted to the Company in cash or by check (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator and permitted under the Plan) an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes required to be withheld in connection with such settlement or payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant may pay any taxes contemplated by this Section 9 consistent with the method for paying such taxes as described in the last sentence of Section 6(a)(6) of the Plan.
- The Participant authorizes the Company and its subsidiaries to withhold any amounts due in respect of any required tax withholdings or payments from any amounts otherwise owed to the Participant, but nothing in this sentence shall be construed as relieving the Participant (or any permitted transferee) of any liability for satisfying his or her obligation under the preceding provisions of this Section 9.
- In no event will the Company have any liability relating to the failure or alleged failure of any payment or benefit under this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A.
-4-
- Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Award, nor the issuance of Shares under this Award, will give the Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affect any right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to discharge or discipline the Participant at any time, or affect any right of the Participant to terminate his or her Employment at any time, except as otherwise set forth in Participant’s employment, severance, or other similar agreement with the Company.
- Provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant is available to the Participant upon request. By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, all or any portion of the Award, the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.
- Acknowledgements. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument, (ii) this Agreement may be executed and exchanged using facsimile, portable document format (PDF) or electronic signature, which, in each case, will constitute an original signature for all purposes hereunder, and (iii) such signature by the Company will be binding against the Company and will create a legally binding agreement when this Agreement is countersigned by the Participant.
- Stock Ownership and Holding Guidelines. The Award and any Shares delivered under the Award are subject to any stock ownership and holding guidelines as may be adopted by the Company and are in effect from time to time (the “Guidelines”). By accepting or being deemed to have accepted the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of the Guidelines.

EXHIBIT A
Covenants Regarding Competition, Solicitation and Confidentiality
Restricted Activities. The Participant agrees that some restrictions on his or her activities during and after his or her Employment are necessary to protect the goodwill, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates.
- Non-compete, Non-solicitation, Non-disclosure. During Employment and for eighteen (18) months after the Participant terminates Employment (the “Restricted Period”), the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, compete with the Company or any of its Affiliates within any geographic area in which the Company or any of its Affiliates do business or undertake any planning for any business competitive with the Company or any of its Affiliates in the United States, the United Kingdom or Canada. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, the Participant agrees not to engage in any manner in any activity that is directly or indirectly competitive or potentially competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates as conducted or under consideration at any time during the Participant’s Employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates, and further agrees not to work or provide services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any Person who is engaged in any business that is competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates for which the Participant has provided services, as conducted or in planning during his or her Employment. For the purposes of this Exhibit A, the business of the Company and its Affiliates shall be defined to include all Products and the Participant’s undertaking shall encompass all items, products and services that may be used in substitution for Products. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent the Participant’s passive ownership of two percent (2%) or less of the equity securities of any publicly traded company.
The Participant agrees that, during Employment, he or she will limit his or her outside activity, whether or not competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates, so that it does not and, could not reasonably be expected to, give rise to a conflict of interest or otherwise unreasonably interfere with his or her duties and obligations to the Company or any of its Affiliates.
The Participant agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Participant will not directly or indirectly (a) solicit or encourage any customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with them; or (b) seek to persuade any such customer or prospective customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates to conduct with anyone else any business or activity which such customer or prospective customer conducts or could conduct with the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided that these restrictions shall apply (y) only with respect to those Persons who are or have been a customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates at any time within the immediately preceding two year period or whose business has been solicited on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates by any of their officers, employees or agents within said two year period, other than by form letter, blanket mailing or published advertisement, and (z) only if the Participant has performed work for such Person during his or her Employment or been introduced to, or otherwise had contact with, such Person
as a result of his or her Employment or his or her consultancy with the Company or any of its Affiliates or has had access to Confidential Information which would assist in the Participant’s solicitation of such Person.
The Participant agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Participant will not, and will not assist any other Person to, (a) hire or solicit for hiring any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or seek to persuade any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to discontinue employment or (b) solicit or encourage any independent contractor providing services to the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with them. For the purposes of this Exhibit A, an “employee” of the Company or any of its Affiliates is any person who was such at any time within the preceding twelve (12) months.
The Participant agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Participant will not provide information about the Company or any of its Affiliates, their business or the industries in which they are engaged to any Person (including without limitation, any organization), whether as an employee, an independent contractor or otherwise, without the advance written consent of the Company, except disclosure that is required by law.
Until forty-five (45) days after the conclusion of the Restricted Period, the Participant shall give notice to the Company of each new business activity he or she plans to undertake, at least ten (10) days prior to beginning any such activity. Such notice shall state the name and address of the Person for whom such activity is undertaken and the nature of the Participant’s business relationship(s) and position(s) with such Person. The Participant shall provide the Company with such other pertinent information concerning such business activity as the Company may reasonably request in order to determine the Participant’s continued compliance with his or her obligations under this Exhibit A.
- Confidentiality and Related Matters.
The Participant acknowledges that the Company and its Affiliates continually develop Confidential Information (as defined herein); that the Participant may have developed or had access to Confidential Information through his or her Employment and other associations with the Company and its Affiliates. The Participant agrees that he or she shall not disclose to any Person or use any Confidential Information, other than as required for the proper performance of the services or as required by applicable law after notice to the Company and a reasonable opportunity for it to seek protection of the Confidential Information prior to disclosure. For avoidance of doubt, “reasonable opportunity” shall be determined under the circumstances, provided that the Participant shall make every effort to provide notice as expeditiously as is reasonably possible to the Company. The Participant understands and agrees that this restriction is in addition to any restrictions to which he or she is bound as a result of his or her prior Employment and that this restriction, as well as any earlier agreed restrictions, shall continue to apply both during Employment and thereafter, regardless of the reason for its termination.
All documents, records, disks and other media of every kind and description containing Confidential Information, and all copies, (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by the Participant, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The Participant shall return
to the Company no later than the date on which his or her Employment terminates, and at such earlier time or times as the Company may specify, all Documents as well as all other property of the Company and its Affiliates, then in the Participant’s possession or control.
During Employment and thereafter, the Participant shall not give any statement or make any announcement, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing, publicly or to the media (electronic, print or otherwise) about the Company or any of its Affiliates, without the prior written consent of the Board or its expressly authorized representative.
Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property. The Participant shall promptly and fully disclose to the Company all Intellectual Property (as defined herein). The Participant hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the Company) the Participant’s full right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property. The Participant agrees to execute any and all applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including without limitation the execution and delivery of instruments of further assurance or confirmation) requested by the Company to assign the Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the Company to enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to the Intellectual Property. All copyrightable works that the Participant creates in the performance of his or her services hereunder shall be considered “work made for hire” and shall, upon creation, be owned exclusively by the Company.
Enforcement of Covenants. The Participant acknowledges that he or she has carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon him or her pursuant to this Exhibit A. The Participant agrees without reservation that each of the restraints contained herein is necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the goodwill, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates; that each and every one of those restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area; and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent him or her from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Participant is bound by these restraints. The Participant further agrees that he or she will never assert, or permit to be asserted on his or her behalf, in any forum, any position contrary to the foregoing. The Participant further acknowledges that, were he or she to breach any of the covenants contained in this Exhibit A, the damage to the Company would be irreparable. The Participant therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Participant of any of said covenants, without having to post bond. So that the Company and its Affiliates may enjoy the full protection of these bargained-for restrictions, the parties agree that the period of restriction in any of the covenants in this Exhibit A shall be tolled, and shall not run, during any period the Participant is in breach thereof. The parties further agree that, in the event that any provision of this Exhibit A shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Definitions. For purposes of this Exhibit A, the following definitions shall apply. To the extent a term is capitalized and not defined in this Exhibit A, such term shall have the meaning as ascribed to such term in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement or the Plan, as applicable.
“Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified Person at any time, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified Person at such time.
“Confidential Information” means any and all information of the Company and its Affiliates that is not generally known by those with whom the Company or any of its Affiliates competes or does business, or with whom the Company or any of its Affiliates plans to compete or do business and any and all information, publicly known in whole or in part or not, which, if disclosed by the Company or any of its Affiliates would assist in competition against them. Confidential Information includes without limitation such information relating to (i) the development, research, testing, manufacturing, marketing and financial activities of the Company and its Affiliates, (ii) the Products, (iii) the costs, sources of supply, financial performance and strategic plans of the Company and its Affiliates, (iv) the identity and special needs of the customers of the Company and its Affiliates and (v) the people and organizations with whom the Company and its Affiliates have business relationships and the nature and substance of those relationships. Confidential Information also includes any information that the Company or any of its Affiliates has received, or may receive hereafter, belonging to customers or others with any understanding, express or implied, that the information would not be disclosed.
“Intellectual Property” means inventions, discoveries, developments, methods, processes, compositions, works, concepts and ideas (whether or not patentable or copyrightable or constituting trade secrets) conceived, made, created, developed or reduced to practice by the Participant (whether alone or with others, whether or not during normal business hours or on or off the Company premises) during the Participant’s Employment that relate to either the Products or any prospective activity of the Company or any of its Affiliates or that make use of Confidential Information or any of the equipment or facilities of the Company or any of its Affiliates.
“Person” shall mean any natural person, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust, joint stock company, business trust, unincorporated association, joint venture, governmental authority or other legal entity of any nature whatsoever.
