Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes and the information contained in other sections of this Form 10-K. It contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, and is based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by our management in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in this Form 10-K and in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors.”
Overview
Legacy Housing Corporation builds, sells and finances manufactured homes and “tiny houses” that are distributed through a network of independent retailers and company-owned stores and are sold directly to manufactured housing communities. We are the fifth largest producer of manufactured homes in the United States as ranked by number of homes manufactured based on information available from the Manufactured Housing Institute and IBTS for the twelve month period ending September 30, 2022. With current operations focused primarily in the southern United States, we offer our customers an array of quality homes ranging in size from approximately 395 to 2,667 square feet consisting of 1 to 5 bedrooms, with 1 to 3 1 / 2 bathrooms. Our homes range in price, at retail, from approximately $33,000 to $180,000. During 2022, we sold 4,189 home sections (which are entire homes or single floors that are combined to create complete homes) and in 2021, we sold 3,635 home sections.
The Company has one reportable segment. All of our activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each of the activities of Company supports the others. For example, the sale of manufactured homes includes providing transportation and consignment arrangements with dealers. We also provide financing options to the customers to facilitate such sale of homes. In addition, the sale of homes is directly related to financing provided by us. Accordingly, all significant operating and strategic decisions by the chief operating decision-maker, the Executive Chairman of the Board, are based upon analyses of our company as one segment or unit.
We believe our company is one of the most vertically integrated in the manufactured housing industry, allowing us to offer a complete solution to our customers, from manufacturing custom-made homes using quality materials and distributing those homes through our expansive network of independent retailers and company-owned distribution locations, to providing tailored financing solutions for our customers. Our homes are constructed in the United States at one of our three manufacturing facilities in accordance with the construction and safety standards of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). Our factories employ high-volume production techniques that allow us to produce, on average, approximately 70 home sections, or 60 fully-completed homes depending on product mix, in total per week. We use quality materials and operate our own component manufacturing facilities for many of the items used in the construction of our homes. Each home can be configured according to a variety of floor plans and equipped with such features as fireplaces, central air conditioning and state-of-the-art kitchens.
Our homes are marketed under our premier “Legacy” brand name and currently are sold primarily across 15 states through a network of 156 independent retail locations, 13 company-owned retail locations and through direct sales to owners of manufactured home communities. Our 13 company-owned retail locations, including 11 Heritage Housing stores and two Tiny House Outlet stores exclusively sell our homes. During 2022, approximately 53% of our manufactured homes were sold in Texas, followed by 9% in Georgia, 5 % in Florida, 5% in Alabama, 5% in Arizona and 4% in Louisiana. During 2021, approximately 50% of our manufactured homes were sold in Texas, followed by 16% in Georgia, 8% in Louisiana and 5% in Alabama.
We offer three types of financing solutions to our customers. We provide floor plan financing for our independent retailers, which takes the form of a consignment arrangement or a financed sale between the retailer and us. We also provide consumer financing for our products which are sold to end-users through both independent and company-owned retail locations, and we provide financing solutions to manufactured housing community owners that buy our products for use in their manufactured housing communities. Our ability to offer competitive financing options

at our retail locations provides us with several competitive advantages and allows us to capture sales which may not have otherwise occurred without our ability to offer consumer financing.
Corporate Conversion
Prior to January 1, 2018, we were a Texas limited partnership named Legacy Housing, Ltd. Effective January 1, 2018, we converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion, or the Corporate Conversion, and changed our name to Legacy Housing Corporation. All of our outstanding partnership interests were converted on a proportional basis into shares of common stock of Legacy Housing Corporation. Effective December 31, 2019, the Company reincorporated from a Delaware corporation to a Texas corporation. For more information, see “Corporate Conversion” in Note 1.
Following the Corporate Conversion, Legacy Housing Corporation continues to hold all of the property and assets of Legacy Housing, Ltd. and all of the debts and obligations of Legacy Housing, Ltd. continue as the debts and obligations of Legacy Housing Corporation. The purpose of the Corporate Conversion was to reorganize our corporate structure so that the top-tier entity in our corporate structure is a corporation rather than a limited partnership and so that our existing owners own shares of our common stock rather than partnership interests in a limited partnership. Except as otherwise noted, the financial statements included in this Form 10-K are those of Legacy Housing Corporation.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that the growth of our business and our future success depend on various opportunities, challenges, trends and other factors, including the following:
● We have purchased several properties in our market area for the purpose of developing manufactured housing communities and subdivisions. As of December 31, 2022, these properties include the following ($’s in thousands):

● We also expect to provide financing solutions to a select group of our manufactured housing community-owner customers in a manner that includes developing new sites for products in or near urban locations where there is a shortage of sites to place our products. These solutions will be structured to give us an attractive return on investment when coupled with the gross margin we expect to make on products specifically targeted for sale to these new manufactured housing communities.
● Finally, our financial performance will be impacted by our ability to fulfill current orders for our manufactured homes from dealers and customers. Currently, our two Texas manufacturing facilities are operating at or near peak capacity, with limited ability to increase the volume of homes produced at those plants. Our Georgia manufacturing facility has unutilized square footage available and with additional investment can add capacity to increase the number of homes that can be manufactured. We intend to increase production at the Georgia facility over time, particularly in response to orders increasingly being generated from new markets in Florida and the Carolinas. In order to maintain our growth, we will need to be able to continue to properly estimate anticipated future volumes when making commitments regarding the level of business that we will seek and accept, the mix of products that we intend to manufacture, the
22
Table of Contents
timing of production schedules and the levels and utilization of inventory, equipment and personnel. We are actively reviewing organic and inorganic opportunities to add production capacity in attractive regions to meet future demand.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following accounting policies are critical to our operating results or may affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Allowance for Loan Losses—Consumer Loan Receivable
The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s estimate of losses inherent in the consumer loans that may be uncollectible based upon review and evaluation of the consumer loan portfolio as of the date of the balance sheet. A reserve is calculated after considering, among other things, the loan characteristics, including the financial condition of borrowers, the value and liquidity of collateral, delinquency and historical loss experience.
The allowance for loan losses is comprised of two components: the general reserve and specific reserves. Our calculation of the general reserve considers the historical loss rate for the last three years, adjusted for the estimated loss discovery period and any qualitative factors both internal and external to our company. Specific reserves are determined based on probable losses on specific classified impaired loans.
Our policy is to place a loan on nonaccrual status when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is normally when either principal or interest is past due and remains unpaid for more than 90 days. Management implemented this policy based on an analysis of historical data and performance of loans and the likelihood of recovery once principal or interest payments became delinquent and were aged more than 90 days. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are accounted for on a cash basis, first to interest and then to principal, as long as the remaining book balance of the asset is deemed to be collectible. The accrual of interest resumes when the past due principal or interest payments are brought within 90 days of being current.
Impaired loans are those loans where it is probable we will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off when deemed uncollectible. A loan is generally deemed impaired if it is more than 90 days past due on principal or interest, is in bankruptcy proceedings, or is in the process of repossession. A specific reserve is created for impaired loans based on fair value of underlying collateral value, less estimated selling costs. We use certain factors to determine the value of the underlying collateral for impaired loans. These factors are: (1) the length of time the unit was unsold after construction; (2) the amount of time the house was occupied; (3) the cooperation level of the borrowers, i.e., loans requiring legal action or extensive field collection efforts will reduce the value; (4) units located on private property present additional value loss because it tends to be more expensive to remove units from private property as opposed to a manufactured home park; (5) the length of time the borrower has lived in the house without making payments; (6) location and size, including market conditions; and (7) the experience and expertise of the particular dealer assisting in collection efforts.
Collateral for repossessed loans is acquired through foreclosure or similar proceedings and is recorded at the estimated fair value of the home, less the costs to sell. At repossession, the fair value of the collateral is computed based on the historical recovery rates of previously charged-off loans; the loan is charged off and the loss is charged to the
23
Table of Contents
allowance for loan losses. At each reporting period, the fair value of the collateral is adjusted to the lower of the amount recorded at repossession or the estimated sales price less estimated costs to sell, based on current information.
Allowance for Loan Losses—MHP Notes
MHP Notes are stated at amounts due from customers net of allowance for loan losses. We determine the allowance by considering several factors including the aging of the past due balance, the customer’s payment history, and our previous loss history. We establish an allowance reserve composed of specific and general reserve amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible. Historically we have not experienced material losses on the MHP Notes.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Raw materials cost approximates the first-in first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-process are based on a standard cost system that approximates actual costs using the specific identification method.
Estimates of the lower of cost and net realizable value of inventory are determined by comparing the actual cost of the product to the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business based on current market and economic conditions, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation of the inventory.
We evaluate inventory based on historical experience to estimate our inventory not expected to be sold in less than a year. We classify our inventory not expected to be sold in one year as non-current.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset. Estimated useful lives for significant classes of assets are as follows: buildings and improvements, 30 to 39 years; vehicles, 5 years; machinery and equipment, 7 years; and furniture and fixtures, 7 years. Repair and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals or betterments which extend the useful lives of existing property, plant, and equipment are capitalized and depreciated. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used and when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such assets is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that the fair values are based primarily on independent appraisals and preliminary or definitive contractual arrangements less costs to dispose.
Revenue Recognition
Direct Sales
Revenue from homes sold to independent retailers that are not financed and not under a consignment arrangement are generally recognized upon execution of a sales contract and when the home is shipped, at which time title passes to the independent retailer and collectability is reasonably assured. These types of homes are generally either paid for prior to shipment or floor plan financed through a third party lender by the independent retailer through standard industry arrangements, which can include repurchase agreements.
Commercial Sales
Revenue from homes sold to mobile home parks under commercial loan programs involving funds provided by our company is recognized when the home is shipped, at which time title passes to the customer and a sales and financing contract is executed, down payment received, and collectability is reasonably assured.
24
Table of Contents
Consignment Sales
We provide floor plan financing for independent retailers, which takes the form of a consignment arrangement or a financed sale. Consignment sales under the inventory financing arrangement are considered sales of homes to the independent dealer and are recognized as revenue upon delivery of the home to the dealer’s location. Sales under a consignment agreement are recognized as revenue when we enter into a sales contract and receive full payment for cash sales, and title passes; or, upon execution of a sales and financing contract, with a down payment received from and upon delivery of the home to the final individual customer, at which time title passes and collectability is reasonably assured. For homes sold to customers through independent retailers under consignment arrangements and financed by us, a percentage of profit is paid to the independent retailer up front as a commission for sale and also reimburses certain direct expenses incurred by the independent retailer for each transaction. Such payments are recorded as cost of product sales in our statement of operations.
Retail Store Sales
Revenue from direct retail sales through company-owned retail locations are generally recognized when the customer has entered into a legally binding sales contract, payment is received, the home is delivered at the customer’s site, title has transferred, and collection is reasonably assured. Retail sales financed by us are recognized as revenue upon the execution of a sales and financing contract with a down payment received and upon delivery of the home to the final customer, at which time title passes and collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue is recognized net of sales taxes.
Product Warranties
We provide retail home buyers with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase on manufactured inventory. Product warranty costs are accrued when the covered homes are sold to customers. Product warranty expense is recognized based on the terms of the product warranty and the related estimated costs. Factors used to determine the warranty liability include the number of homes under warranty and the historical costs incurred in servicing the warranties. The accrued warranty liability is reduced as costs are incurred and warranty liability balance is included as part of accrued liabilities in our balance sheet.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in the financial statements and the accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Product sales primarily consist of direct sales, commercial sales, consignment sales and retail store sales. Product sales increased $56.1 million, or 33.8%, in 2022 as compared to 2021. This increase was driven by higher average sales price, the conversion of certain independent dealer consignment arrangements to financing arrangements and an increase in unit volumes. The conversion of consignment arrangements to financing arrangements resulted in an increase to producet sales of approximately $29.1 million during 2022. We expect the conversion of consignment arrangements to financing arrangements to have minimal impact on product sales in 2023.

In 2022, our net revenue per product sold increased primarily because of the increase in unit prices over the first half of 2022, as rising material and labor costs were passed on to our customers. We had increases in consignment sales, direct sales, commercial sales and other product sales, slightly offset by a decrease in retail store sales. Sales through our company-owned retail stores have higher margins than our direct sales and consignment sales. For the six months ending December 31, 2022, we experienced a decrease in net revenue attributable to product sales due to the Company and the State of Georgia’s efforts to evaluate and improve the quality and consistency of homes manufactured in our Eatonton facility. These efforts have resulted in a temporary decrease of approximately 36% in the rate of issuing HUD Labels of Certification and shipping finished homes from our Eatonton facility. We increased shipments from our Eatonton facility during the fourth quarter and plan to meet or exceed historical levels in 2023.
Consumer and MHP loans interest income grew $1.4 million, or 5.0%, in 2022 as compared to 2021 and is primarily related to our increase in average outstanding consumer loan portfolio balance partially offset by a decrease in average outstanding MHP Note portfolio balance. The consumer loan portfolio has a higher average contractual interest
26
Table of Contents
rate compared to the MHP Note portfolio average contractual interest rate. Between December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 our consumer loan portfolio increased by $13.4 million resulting in an increase of consumer loan interest income. On September 30, 2021, we collected $44.9 million in principal payment from one of our borrowers. As a result of this payment, MHP loan interest income decreased during 2022 as compared to 2021, partially offsetting the increase in consumer loan interest income.
Other revenue primarily consists of commercial lease rents, consignment fees and servicer fee revenue. Other revenue increased $2.1 million or 48.2% primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in consignment fees, a $0.5 million increase in commercial lease rents and a $0.2 million increase in servicer fee revenue.
The cost of product sales increased $36.1 million, or 31.6%, in 2022 as compared to 2021. The increase in costs is primarily related to an increase in units sold and increases in the cost of materials and labor in 2022 which was materially passed along to our end-customer.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.3 million, or 18.3%, in 2022 as compared to 2021. This increase was primarily due to a $5.7 million increase in salaries and incentive costs, a $0.6 million increase in warranty costs, a $0.6 million increase in consulting and professional fees, and a $0.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in legal expense, a $0.4 million increase in loan loss provision and a net $1.0 million decrease in other miscellaneous costs.
Dealer incentive expense increased $0.1 million, or 6.5% in 2022 as compared to 2021.
Other income (expense), net increased $2.4 million, or 141.4%, in 2022, as compared to 2021. This increase was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in non-operating interest income, a $0.6 million increase in capital gains related to the sale of leased property, a $0.5 million increase in miscellaneous income, net, and a decrease of $0.5 million in interest expense.
Income tax expense was $14.4 million for 2022 compared to $10.8 million for and 2021. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 17.5% and primarily differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a federal tax credit for energy efficient construction and partially offset by state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 17.7% and primarily differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a federal tax credit for energy efficient construction and partially offset by state income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash balances in bank accounts that may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. We have not incurred any losses from such accounts and management considers the risk of loss to be minimal. We believe that cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022, and availability on our lines of credit will be sufficient to fund our operations and provide for growth for the next 12 to 18 months and into the foreseeable future. In 2020, we negotiated a new credit agreement with Capital One, N.A. that expanded and extended our credit availability (see Indebtedness – Capital One Revolver , below). As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $2.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1.0 million as of December 31, 2021. We also held an investment of $8.4 million in US Treasury Notes as of December 31, 2022.

Comparison of Cash Flow Activities from 2022 to 2021
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to net cash of $60.3 million provided by operating activities during 2021. This change was primarily as a result of increased cash used for MHP originations net of collections, increased dealer inventory loan originations net of collections, increased volume of consumer loan originations net of principal collections, a decrease in accrued liabilities and an increase in other assets. The increase in cash used in operating activities was partially offset by an increase in operating income before non-cash adjustments, increased volume of other notes receivables principal collections net of originations, decreased inventories, increase in customer deposits, and increased dealer incentive liability.
Net cash provided by investing activities of $9.1 million in 2022 was primarily attributable to $23.5 million of collections related to loans we made to third parties for the development of manufactured housing parks, proceeds of $1.7 million for the sale of leased property and collections of $0.5 million from our purchased consumer loans. These were offset by $8.4 million used for the purchase of our investment in treasury notes, $4.4 million used for loans to third parties for the development of manufactured housing parks and $3.8 million used for the acquisition of property plant and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities of $5.6 million in 2022 was attributable to net payments of $5.6 million on our lines of credit. Net cash used in financing activities of $28.1 million in 2021 was attributable to net payments of $28.2 million on our lines of credit offset by $0.1 million received from the exercise of stock options.
Indebtedness
Capital One Revolver. On March 30, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Capital One, N.A. for new revolving line of credit (“Revolver”). The Revolver had a maximum credit limit of $70,000,000 and a maturity date of March 30, 2024.
On June 21, 2022, we received a Reservation of Rights notice from Capital One, N.A. The letter stated that our Revolver was in default. The default condition occurred due to our failure to timely file the Form 10-K and deliver certain financial statement to Capital One, N.A. On July 28, 2022, we entered into a Limited Waiver and First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Capital One, N.A. The Amendment replaces the LIBOR borrowing rate with a secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) and waives a default arising out of a monetary judgement against us that exceeded the amount allowed in the Revolver.
On August 24, 2022, we received a Notice of Default and Partial Suspension of Loan Commitments from Capital One, N.A. The notice stated that the July 28, 2022 forbearance agreement had been terminated and that Capital One, N.A. was permitted to suspend $50,000 of the $70,000 loan commitment under the Revolver. As a result, the available line of credit in the Revolver has been limited to $20,000.
The Revolver accrues interest at one-month SOFR plus 2.00%. The interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were 6.12% and 2.10%, respectively. Amounts available under the Revolver are subject to a formula
28
Table of Contents
based on eligible consumer loans and MHP Notes and are secured by all accounts receivable, consumer loans and MHP Notes. The amount of available credit under the Revolver was $17,400,000 as of December 31, 2022. In connection with the Revolver, we paid certain arrangement fees and other fees of approximately $295,000, which were capitalized as unamortized debt issuance costs and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the Revolver.
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, interest expense under the Revolver was $225,000 and $887,000, respectively. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $2,545,000 and $7,993,000, respectively. The Revolver requires the Company to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2022, including that we maintain a tangible net worth of at least $120,000,000 and that we maintain a ratio of debt to EBITDA of 4-to-1, or less.
PILOT Agreement. In December 2016, we entered into a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (“PILOT”) agreement commonly offered in Georgia by local community development programs to encourage industry development. The net effect of the PILOT agreement was to provide us with incentives through the abatement of local, city and county property taxes and to provide financing for improvements to our Georgia plant (the “Project”). In connection with the PILOT agreement, the Putman County Development Authority provided a credit facility for up to $10,000, which could have been drawn upon to fund Project improvements and capital expenditures as defined in the agreement. If funds had been drawn, we would have paid transaction costs and debt service payments. The PILOT agreement required interest payments of 6.00% per annum on outstanding balances, which would have been due each December 1 through maturity on December 1, 2021, at which time all unpaid principal and interest would have been due.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, net sales, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures. However, we do have a repurchase agreement with a financial institution providing inventory financing for independent retailers of our products. Under this agreement, we have agreed to repurchase homes at declining prices over the term of the agreement (24 months). Our obligation under this repurchase agreement ceases upon the purchase of the home by the retail customer. The maximum amount of our contingent obligations under such repurchase agreements was approximately $8,925,000 and $4,908,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, without reduction for the resale value of the homes. We may be required to honor contingent repurchase obligations in the future and may incur additional expense as a consequence of these repurchase agreements. We consider our obligations on current contracts to be immaterial and accordingly we have not recorded any reserve for repurchase commitment as of December 31, 2022.

Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of this exemption.
