Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
Net sales for the third quarter fiscal 2024 decreased 3.9% to $559.5 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the third quarter fiscal 2024 decreased 1.8% to 5,643. The ASP per U.S. home sold decreased 2.0% to $92,300, due to changes to product mix and a decrease in material surcharges compared to the prior year period. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by net sales of $119.7 million from the Regional Homes acquisition. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter decreased to 249 homes compared to 273 homes in the prior-year period due to softer demand given the higher interest rate environment.
Gross profit decreased by 18.9% to $141.3 million in the third quarter fiscal 2024 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 25.3% of net sales, a contraction of 460 basis points compared to 29.9% in the third quarter fiscal 2023. The change in gross profit margin was primarily due to lower ASPs, a shift in product mix, the impact of the Regional Homes operations, and the ramping of previously idled facilities.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the third quarter fiscal 2024 increased to $85.1 million from $71.8 million in the same period last year. SG&A during the quarter increased due to the Regional Homes acquisition. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 15.2%, compared to 12.3% in the prior year period.
Net income decreased by 43.3% to $47.0 million for the third quarter fiscal 2024 compared to the prior year period. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by lower sales and gross profit in the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter fiscal 2024 decreased by 39.2% to $66.3 million compared to the third quarter fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 11.8%, compared to 18.7% in the prior-year period.
As of December 30, 2023, Skyline Champion had $497.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $203.2 million in the current quarter, due to the strategic acquisition of Regional Homes, partially offset by operating cash flows of $89.5 million.
