OVERVIEW OF MARKETS AND RELATED INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE
Second Quarter and First Six Months 2025 Financial Overview
Recreational Vehicle ("RV") Industry
The Company’s RV products are sold primarily to major manufacturers of RVs, smaller original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), and to a lesser extent, manufacturers in adjacent industries. The principal types of recreational vehicles include (1) towables: conventional travel trailers, fifth wheels, folding camping trailers, and truck campers; and (2) motorized: class A (large motor homes), class B (van campers), and class C (small-to-mid size motor homes).
The RV industry is our primary market and comprised 46% and 47% of the Company's net sales in the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025, respectively, and 44% in both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. Net sales to the RV industry in the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025 increased 7% and 10%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
According to the RV Industry Association ("RVIA"), RV wholesale unit shipments in the second quarter of 2025 totaled approximately 92,900 units, or flat compared to approximately 92,700 units in the second quarter of 2024. While we estimate RV industry retail unit sales in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by approximately 3% compared to the second quarter of 2024, we estimate that retail unit sales exceeded wholesale unit shipments in the second quarter of 2025 as RV OEMs maintained lower production volumes.
RV wholesale unit shipments for the first six months of 2025 totaled approximately 190,700 units, an increase of 7% from approximately 178,600 units in the first six months of 2024. While we estimate RV industry retail unit sales in the first six months of 2025 decreased by approximately 4% compared to the first six months of 2024, we estimate that wholesale unit shipments exceeded retail unit sales in the first six months of 2025 as RV OEMs increased production volumes in the first quarter of 2025 in anticipation of higher retail demand later in the year.

Marine Industry
The Company’s sales to the marine industry are primarily focused on the powerboat sector of the market which is comprised of four main categories: fiberglass, aluminum fishing, pontoon and ski & wake.
Net sales to the marine industry comprised 15% of the Company's net sales in both the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025 and 16% in both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. Net sales to the marine industry in the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025 decreased 1% and 2%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
Our marine revenue is generally correlated to marine industry wholesale powerboat unit shipments. According to Company estimates based on data published by the National Marine Manufacturers Association ("NMMA"), wholesale powerboat unit shipments decreased 5% and 7% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, compared to the prior year periods.
We estimate that marine industry retail powerboat unit sales decreased 12% and 10% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the current macroeconomic environment faced by the end consumer, such as economic uncertainty and elevated interest rates.
Powersports Industry
Through acquisitions completed in recent years, the Company entered the powersports end market. Powersports is a category of motorsports which includes vehicles such as motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles ("ATVs"), side-by-sides, snowmobiles, scooters, golf carts and other personal transportation vehicles, and other related categories. Our powersports business is primarily focused on the utility and premium segments of the side-by-side market, which have been outperforming the more discretionary recreational segment. We also participate in the motorcycle and golf cart segments of the market. OEMs and dealers are actively managing field inventory levels to align dealer inventories with retail demand.
Net sales to the powersports industry comprised 9% of the Company's net sales in both the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025 and 10% in both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. Net sales to the powersports industry in the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025 decreased 7% and 5%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
Manufactured Housing ("MH") Industry
The Company’s products for this market are sold primarily to major manufacturers of manufactured homes, other OEMs, and to a lesser extent, manufacturers in adjacent industries. Factors that may favorably impact demand in this industry include jobs growth, consumer confidence, favorable changes in financing regulations, a narrowing in the difference between interest rates on MH loans and mortgages on traditional residential "stick-built" housing, and any improvement in conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.
Net sales to the MH industry comprised 17% of the Company's net sales in both the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025 and 17% in both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. Net sales to the MH industry in the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025 increased 4% and 8% respectively, compared to the prior year periods. According to Company estimates based on industry data from the Manufactured Housing Institute, MH industry wholesale unit shipments increased 3% and 5% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 compared to the prior year periods, primarily driven by OEMs increasing production in the first half of 2025 in anticipation of an increase in demand.
Industrial Market
The industrial market is comprised primarily of kitchen cabinet, countertop, hospitality, retail and commercial fixtures, and office and household furniture markets and regional distributors.
Net sales to the industrial market comprised 13% and 12% of the Company's net sales in the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025, respectively, and 13% in both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. Net sales to the industrial market in both the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2025 increased 2% compared to

the prior year periods. Overall, our revenues in these markets are focused on residential and multifamily housing, hospitality, high-rise housing and office, commercial construction and institutional furniture markets. We estimate that, in general, approximately 80% to 90% of our industrial business is directly tied to the residential housing market, with the remaining 10% to 20% tied to the non-residential and commercial markets.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, combined new housing starts decreased 1% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting a decrease in single-family housing starts of 8%, partially offset by an increase in multifamily housing starts of 23%.
For the first six months of 2025, combined new housing starts decreased 1% compared to the prior year period, reflecting a decrease in single-family housing starts of 7%, partially offset by an increase in multifamily housing starts of 17%. Our industrial products are generally among the last components installed in new unit construction and as such our related sales typically trail new housing starts by four to six months.

The distribution segment accounted for approximately 26% of the Company’s sales for both the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, and 26% and 25% of the Company's sales for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Distribution segment sales in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 increased due to increased sales to the RV, MH, powersports, and industrial markets, partially offset by decreased sales to the marine market. Sales to the RV market increased 5% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2024. Sales to the MH market increased 4% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in estimated MH industry wholesale unit shipments of approximately 3%. Sales to the powersports market increased $1.2 million, or 33%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2024. Sales to the industrial market increased $0.7 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year quarter. Sales to the marine market decreased $0.2 million, or 2%, compared to the prior year quarter.
Distribution segment sales in the first six months of 2025 compared to the first six months of 2024 increased due to increased sales in each of our markets. Sales to the MH market increased 8% compared to the first six months of 2024, primarily due to an increase in estimated MH industry wholesale unit shipments of approximately 5%. Sales to the RV market increased 4% compared to the first six months of 2024, due to industry wholesale unit shipment growth. Sales to the powersports market increased $2.2 million, or 35%, compared to the first six months of 2024, primarily attributable to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operation, available cash reserves and borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit and term loan facility (the “2024 Credit Facility”), as discussed in Note 8 "Debt" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our liquidity as of June 29, 2025 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $22.0 million and $813.0 million of availability under the 2024 Credit Facility, net of $7.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.
As of June 29, 2025, the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facility are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on the Company's current cash flow budgets and forecast of short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
Principal uses of cash are to support working capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support the Company's capital allocation strategy, which includes acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, among others.
Working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV, marine, powersports, MH and industrial markets we serve, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of customers. In the event that operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of the Company's capital resources were to become unavailable, the Company would seek to revise its operating strategies accordingly. The Company will continue to assess its liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.
In the first six months of 2025, the Company utilized available borrowing capacity under the Revolver due 2029 and cash on hand to fund two acquisitions, as discussed in Note 5 "Acquisitions" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of and for the reporting period ended June 29, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as required under the terms of the credit agreement that established the 2024 Credit Facility (the “2024 Credit Agreement”). The required maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and the required minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, as such ratios are defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement, compared to the actual amounts as of June 29, 2025 and for the fiscal period then ended are as follows:
Required Actual
Consolidated secured net leverage ratio (12-month period) 2.75 0.31
Consolidated interest coverage ratio (12-month period) 3.00 6.62
In addition, as of June 29, 2025, the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio (12-month period) was 2.65. While this ratio is not a covenant under the 2024 Credit Agreement, it is used in determining the applicable borrowing margin under the 2024 Credit Agreement.

Cash Flows
Operating Activities: Cash flows from operating activities are one of the Company's primary sources of liquidity, representing the net income the Company earned in the reported periods, adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $16.8 million, or 10%, to $189.5 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $172.7 million in the first six months of 2024. The increase in operating cash flows is primarily attributable to a $27.7 million source of cash from operating assets and liabilities, net of business acquisitions compared to a $3.3 million use of cash in the prior year period, partially offset by a $12.3 million decrease in net income and a $7.8 million decrease in deferred income taxes compared to the first six months of 2024.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities decreased $300.2 million to $86.6 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $386.8 million in the first six months of 2024 due to a decrease in cash used in business acquisitions, which were $48.1 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $330.7 million in the first six months of 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of Sportech in January 2024.
Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $114.4 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $246.7 million of net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2024, primarily due to an increase in net repayments under our revolving credit facility of $45.0 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to net borrowings of $295.0 million in the first six months of 2024.

OTHER
Seasonality
Manufacturing operations in the RV, marine, powersports and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits had generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers in the August-September timeframe and marine open houses in the December-February timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, recent seasonal industry trends have been, and future trends may be, different than in prior years due to volatile economic conditions, interest rates, access to financing, cost of fuel, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs, powersports and marine units and other products for which the Company sells its components, as well as fluctuations in RV, powersports and marine dealer inventories, increased volatility in demand from RV, powersports and marine dealers, the timing of dealer orders, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.
