Over the past year, investors have been forced to repeatedly answer the same question: what is the market’s biggest risk? The answer has changed several times, and each shift has reshaped market leadership. Late in 2025 and early 2026, artificial intelligence became the market’s primary uncertainty. Investors questioned whether AI would erode software pricing power and weaken competitive moats as AI made it easier to replicate once-differentiated products. By the spring, technology took a back seat to geopolitics. The U.S. conflict with Iran briefly became the market’s dominant narrative, raising concerns about oil prices, inflation, and global growth. But as energy markets remained orderly and fears of a prolonged supply disruption faded, investors quickly turned their focus back to fundamentals.

The 5 Most Interesting Analyst Questions From Champion Homes’s Q2 Earnings Call
Champion Homes posted results that were positively received by the market in Q2, with management highlighting a combination of rising sales volumes and operational discipline. CEO Timothy Larson credited the company’s performance to outpacing industry shipment trends and maintaining a diversified sales channel strategy. Management pointed to increased manufacturing utilization, a growing backlog, and resilient demand for affordable housing as key contributors this quarter. Larson noted, “Champion again outperformed the broader industry,” emphasizing strength in both independent retail and captive channels, as well as prudent production ramp-ups in high-demand regions.

Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Will Schroeder (CJS Securities) asked about the pace of retail traffic and orders into early Q2. CEO Timothy Larson said traffic momentum remained strong across both digital and physical channels, contributing to backlog growth and supporting a positive outlook. Philip Ng (Jefferies) questioned whether mid-single-digit revenue growth guidance included Homes Direct. CFO David McKinstray clarified that Homes Direct was excluded from near-term guidance due to the timing of the transaction closing. Ng (Jefferies) also inquired about the potential timing and impact of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

Larson explained that the 4- to 12-week backlog target allows flexibility for plant scheduling and customer needs while avoiding unnecessary cost increases. Jesse Lederman (Zelman) pressed for detail on the drivers behind sequential ASP declines. McKinstray pointed to stronger community and independent channel volumes, which carry lower ASPs, and clarified that mix headwinds were slightly greater than anticipated. Looking ahead, the StockStory team will be watching (1) the integration and early performance of Homes Direct within Champion’s retail network, (2) progress on HUD rulemaking and the timing of regulatory changes that could expand the market for factory-built homes, and (3) the company’s ability to manage input costs and deliver margin improvements as pricing and operational strategies take hold. Product mix shifts and channel performance will also be key indicators. Champion Homes currently trades at $93.20, up from $82.36 just before the earnings.

Champion Homes Q1 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Champion Homes, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Champion Homes’ first-quarter fiscal 2027 results were resilient: Net sales rose 1.3% to $710.2 million and U.S. home shipments increased 1.8%, outperforming an approximately 5% decline in broader HUD industry shipments.

Management expects continued growth but sees affordability pressures: Second-quarter revenue is projected to rise by a mid-single-digit percentage, with adjusted gross margins of 25%–26%.

Larson said the company continues to invest in dealer tools, including lead-management capabilities through its dealer portal and consumer digital-engagement efforts. Captive retail represented about 35% of consolidated sales, up from 34% a year earlier. Champion operated 95 captive retail stores at the end of the period, including 11 Homes Direct locations in the Western U.S. However, the first-quarter financial results did not include Homes Direct, as the acquisition closed Aug. 1. → 4 Oil and Gas ETF Plays as Prices Stay Sky-High Community orders increased modestly, with some larger operators contributing to growth, while builder-developer sales also rose year over year. Larson said momentum in the builder-developer channel accelerated during the quarter. He pointed to an off-site construction event in York, Nebraska, attended by more than 150 developers, builders, municipalities and housing advocates, as evidence of interest in modular and HUD housing solutions. During the question-and-answer session, Larson said shipment growth was stronger in Texas, Florida, Mississippi and Alabama, while the West and parts of the Midwest were weaker in the first quarter. He added that order and backlog trends were broadly positive across geographies, though the West showed relatively less strength. Adjusted gross profit totaled $179 million, producing an adjusted gross margin of 25.2%. CFO Dave McKinstray said the result reflected pricing actions, operational execution and efforts to offset elevated material costs. The company expects the benefits of its pricing and cost-mitigation actions to gain momentum in the second quarter. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense was 16.4% of sales. Adjusted net income attributable to Champion was $48.3 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, while adjusted EBITDA was $73.6 million, representing a 10.4% margin. The company’s effective tax rate was approximately 25%, compared with 21% a year earlier. McKinstray attributed the increase to the expiration of ENERGY STAR-related tax incentives. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $784.7 million at quarter-end, up from $638.3 million at fiscal year-end, primarily due to proceeds from the ECN transaction. Operating cash flow was $72.5 million in the quarter. Champion repurchased and retired $50 million of common stock during the quarter. In July, its board refreshed the share-repurchase authorization to $150 million. Since the buyback program began in fiscal 2025, the company has repurchased $330 million of stock, or about 8% of its outstanding shares, according to McKinstray. Champion completed its acquisition of Homes Direct on Aug. 1. McKinstray said Homes Direct has about $70 million in sales and operates 11 locations. One location is next to Champion’s Chandler facility and had primarily sourced Champion products, while the other 10 locations operate like traditional dealers. The company expects the acquisition to be additive but relatively immaterial to second-quarter results because of the timing of the closing. Management said it expects to gradually migrate products supplied by other manufacturers at Homes Direct locations to Champion products. Larson also discussed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which became law July 10. The legislation could allow HUD homes to be built without a permanent chassis, though the company said HUD rulemaking, engineering specifications, transport requirements and local zoning adoption will take time. Champion does not expect a material impact from the change during fiscal 2027. Larson said the opportunity is primarily about expanding the addressable market and providing homes with aesthetics more comparable to site-built housing, rather than reducing costs. The company expects both chassis and non-chassis construction to remain relevant across its customer channels. For the second quarter of fiscal 2027, Champion expects revenue to increase by a mid-single-digit percentage from the prior-year period. The outlook excludes Homes Direct and reflects demand improvement seen during the first quarter and increased backlog across channels. The company expects adjusted gross margin of 25% to 26% and adjusted SG&A expense of 16% to 17% of sales. Management said consumer purchasing power remains under pressure and interest rates remain elevated, while material costs continue to be high despite a slower rate of inflation. McKinstray said average selling prices may vary quarter to quarter based on channel mix. The first-quarter mix included greater relative strength in independent dealer and community sales, which carry lower selling prices than company-owned retail sales. He said Champion expects average selling price to be sequentially higher in the second quarter but roughly flat to slightly lower year over year. Champion Homes, traded under the NYSE ticker SKY, operates as a leading provider of factory-built housing solutions in North America. The company specializes in the design, manufacture and sale of manufactured and modular homes, serving a broad spectrum of customers from first-time homebuyers to those seeking upscale residential properties.

Champion Homes, Inc. Q1 2027 Earnings Call Summary
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Achieved 1.8% growth in U.S. home sales, significantly outperforming the broader HUD industry which saw a 5% decline in shipments during the same period. Strategic channel diversification provided resiliency, with independent retail sales up 4% and captive retail representing 35% of consolidated sales. Manufacturing utilization improved to 62% as the company ramped production in key markets to address growing backlogs and demand momentum. The demand environment remains encouraging with manufacturing orders increasing year-over-year, leading to a backlog of $421.8 million. Management attributed a slight sequential decline in Average Selling Price (ASP) to a shift in channel mix toward wholesale and consumers electing for base-level models. The acquisition of Homes Direct, closed on August 1, marks a critical milestone in accelerating the company's direct-to-consumer strategy in the Western U.S. Regulatory progress, specifically the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, is expected to expand the addressable market by allowing HUD homes without a permanent chassis. Q2 revenue is expected to grow in the mid-single digits organically, excluding any initial contributions from the Homes Direct acquisition. Adjusted gross margins are projected to reach 25% to 26% in the near term as pricing actions begin to catch up with previous material cost inflation. Management expects ASPs to be sequentially higher in Q2, though year-over-year comparisons may remain flat due to ongoing product and channel mix shifts. The implementation of new HUD rulemaking regarding chassis-less homes is expected to be a gradual process with no material impact anticipated in fiscal 2027. The effective tax rate is projected to rise to approximately 25% for fiscal 2027 following the expiration of ENERGY STAR-related tax incentives. The expiration of ENERGY STAR tax credits on July 1 will create a headwind for the effective tax rate compared to the prior year. Material costs remain at elevated levels across the industry, requiring ongoing pricing discipline and manufacturing efficiency to protect margins. Canadian operations faced volume declines during the quarter, primarily attributed to weather-related disruptions. The company refreshed its share…Read full documentShow less

Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management views the removal of the permanent chassis as a way to achieve aesthetic parity with site-built homes and expand into restricted zoning districts. The change is not primarily a cost-saving measure but a strategic move to engage a broader set of buyers, particularly in the builder-developer channel. Standardization under a national HUD code will still be prioritized to maintain manufacturing efficiency despite the increased design flexibility. The sequential decline was heavily influenced by channel mix; wholesale units sell for approximately $85,000 while captive retail units average $140,000 to $150,000. Consumer behavior is shifting toward base-level models within the multi-section category due to broader affordability pressures. Management expects sequential ASP improvement as pricing actions taken in Q1 fully take hold in the second quarter. The Homes Direct acquisition was not included in the Q2 organic growth guidance but will be additive to the total results. Integration will involve migrating the 11 retail locations from third-party manufacturers to Champion's own product lines over time. The acquisition is expected to increase absolute SG&A dollars but will eventually provide fixed-cost leverage as the top line expands.

FY2027 Q1 earnings call transcript
Good morning, and welcome to the Champion Homes first quarter fiscal 2027 earnings call. My name is Erica, and I will be coordinating your call today. A question and answer session will follow the formal remarks. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the call over to Ellen Kaleniecki, Director of Investor Relations. Ellen, please go ahead.
Good morning. Thank you for joining us for today's conference call and review of Champion Homes results for the first quarter ended June 27th, 2026. Here to review the results are Tim Larson, CEO, and Dave McKinstray, CFO. Yesterday, after the market closed, Champion Homes issued its earnings release. As a reminder, the earnings release and statements made during today's call include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the company's expectations. Such risks and uncertainties include the factors set forth in the earnings release and in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please note that today's remarks contain non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe can be useful in evaluating performance.
Definitions and reconciliations of these measures can be found in the earnings release. I will now turn the call over to Tim Larson.
Thank you, Ellen, and good morning, everyone. The Champion Homes team delivered a solid start to fiscal 2027, with results that align with our expectations. We continue to outperform the broader industry, demonstrating the strength of our customer-centric strategy and the team's operational execution. The recent closing of the Homes Direct acquisition marks an important milestone in advancing our direct-to-consumer strategy. The transaction closed on August 1st, and we are honored to formally welcome the Homes Direct team to Champion. While the financial impact in the second quarter will be limited due to timing, we remain excited about the strategic opportunities that we are already seeing as we work with the Homes Direct team. This acquisition reflects how we are allocating our capital to enhance and accelerate our strategic priorities. Across our channels, product portfolio, and operational scale, Champion remains uniquely positioned to help address the need for affordable housing.
We remain focused on producing high-quality homes that provide compelling value when compared to traditional site-built alternatives. We will achieve this by advancing a differentiated customer-centric strategy that supports long-term growth and value creation. Let's turn to our quarterly results. The quarter unfolded largely as we anticipated, and we are pleased with the consistency and execution demonstrated by our team in a dynamic economic environment. Net sales increased 1.3% year-over-year to $710.2 million. Manufacturing capacity utilization during the quarter was 62%, up from 59% sequentially and up one percentage point compared to the same period last year. As a reminder, our utilization reporting includes our six idled facilities. Champion again outperformed the broader industry. Our U.S. home sales were up 1.8% versus the same period last year.
This performance is against a backdrop of declining HUD industry shipments, which were down year-over-year approximately 5% during the three-month period ending May 2026. The demand environment was very encouraging for us in the first quarter. Manufacturing orders increased year-over-year, resulting in an increase in backlogs to $421.8 million versus $302 million at the end of the first quarter last year. Manufacturing backlog lead time ended the quarter at approximately nine weeks, which is within our target range of four to 12 weeks. We continue to manage production responsibly and balance customer demand with market conditions. From a channel perspective, we achieved solid results across our portfolio, reinforcing the resiliency of our diversified go-to-market model. Sales to our independent retail channel were up 4% year-over-year.
We continue to invest in tools and capabilities to support our independent dealers' businesses, including lead management capabilities via our dealer portal, consumer digital engagement initiatives, and being nimble with our product offerings. We believe these important investments position both Champion and our dealer network for long-term success. Our captive retail channel continued to perform well. Captive retail represented approximately 35% of consolidated sales during the quarter, compared to 34% in the prior year period. Execution across our retail network remains strong as we leverage our investments across our now 95 captive retail stores, including 11 Homes Direct stores in the Western U.S. It's worth noting that our first quarter results do not include Homes Direct, which as I mentioned, closed August 1st. Community orders were up modestly this quarter. Community operators continually carefully manage inventory levels and monitor consumer demand.
Orders from some of the larger operators were drivers during the first quarter. We are encouraged by community customer engagement trends. Builder-developer sales increased year-over-year with momentum accelerating in this channel. During the recent quarter, our off-site construction event in York, Nebraska, attracted more than 150 attendees and showcased the interest in module and HUD housing solutions. Developers, builders, municipalities, and housing advocates from across the nation attended the event. This reflects the growing interest and demand for affordable and timely home construction solutions. Our joint venture with Triad Champion Financing continued to perform well in the quarter. As we reported on our last call, the ECN transaction closed successfully in our first quarter and generated proceeds of approximately CAD 189.1 million, a portion of which we have reinvested in the Homes Direct transaction.
Turning to the regulatory developments, we are pleased with the continued momentum of policies that expand affordable housing. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act recently passed both chambers of Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support, becoming law on July 10th. While implementation will take time and the HUD rulemaking process is ongoing, we believe the legislation represents a meaningful step toward expanding housing opportunities and removing barriers to factory build housing adoption. Our teams remain actively engaged with HUD and other stakeholders as technical specifications and implementation details continue to evolve. As you would expect, in addition to the HUD rulemaking, there will be new engineering, transport, and set considerations for HUD homes that are not built on a permanent chassis. Our teams are excited to implement this change while also remaining focused on our traditional HUD product that is built on a permanent chassis.
We envision over time that both types of construction will be utilized throughout the industry. Additionally, Champion will once again return to the National Mall for HUD's Innovative Housing Showcase in September. The showcase and legislation demonstrate that federal housing leaders are increasingly supportive of manufactured homes as a central solution to the housing affordability crisis. We continue to monitor zoning reform at the state and local level as well. The Commonwealth of Virginia, for example, recently enacted legislation that allows manufactured housing placement in residential districts where site-built homes are permitted. This represents additional momentum towards the long-term acceptance of off-site built in parity with site built. We believe the continued incremental regulatory progress leads to a favorable long-term outlook for our industry. As we've moved through the opening weeks of the second quarter, our observations remain consistent with the themes we've discussed today.
The macro environment remains dynamic. Consumers continue to face broad affordability pressures. However, demand for attainable housing remains strong. Our team continues to execute our strategy with excellence. We are encouraged by the customer engagement trends and the opportunities we're seeing across our channels. We believe Champion is better positioned than ever to help address the housing affordability challenge with best-in-class products designed for the specific customers and markets we serve, supported by diversified channels and a highly engaged team. Our balance sheet remains exceptionally strong, providing flexibility to invest in growth opportunities, pursue disciplined capital allocation, and continue creating long-term shareholder value. With that, I'll turn the call over to Dave.
Thanks, Tim, and good morning, everyone. Before I get into the quarter and outlook, I want to briefly welcome the Homes Direct team to Champion. We're excited to have them as part of the company. We look forward to collaborating together as we continue to expand our retail platform. Now, I'll begin by reviewing our first quarter financial results, followed by our balance sheet and cash flow performance. I'll then conclude with our outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2027. Overall, our first quarter results reflected steady execution in a dynamic operating environment. With demand improving as the quarter progressed, the business performed in line with expectations. We're pleased with how we're starting fiscal 2027. Net sales increased 1.3% compared to the prior year period to $710.2 million. These results were slightly ahead of expectations, reflecting stronger anticipated overall demand throughout the quarter.
In the U.S., homes sold increased 1.8% to 7,089 units for Q1. Average selling price increased 0.6% to approximately $95,600, primarily driven by pricing on homes sold through our company-owned retail locations. In Canada, homes sold declined to 185 from 250 in the prior year quarter. The volume decline, which was impacted by weather-related disruptions, was partially offset by higher average selling prices. Adjusted gross profit was $179 million, representing an adjusted gross margin of 25.2%. This was in line with our expectations and reflected disciplined pricing actions, operational execution, and ongoing efforts to offset higher material cost in a volatile macro environment. As we discussed last quarter, these pricing actions typically lag cost increases. We expect the benefits to gain momentum in the second quarter. Adjusted SG&A expenses represent 16.4% of net sales for the quarter within our expected range.
Adjusted net income attributable to Champion Homes was $48.3 million or $0.88 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $73.6 million, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.4%. Our effective tax rate was approximately 25%, compared with 21% in the prior year quarter, reflecting the expiration of ENERGY STAR-related tax incentives, which we spoke about on our Q4 call. We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $784.7 million, compared to $638.3 million at fiscal year-end. The increase was primarily due to the proceeds received from the ECN transaction. Operating cash flow totaled $72.5 million during the quarter, demonstrating the strong cash generation characteristics of the business. We also continued to return capital to share owners, repurchasing and retiring $50 million of common stock during the quarter. In July, the board refreshed the share repurchase authorization back to the $150 million level.
Since the inception of our share buyback program in fiscal 2025, we have repurchased $330 million, or 8%, of our total outstanding shares. Overall, we continue to maintain a highly flexible balance sheet that supports organic growth investments, strategic acquisition, and share owner returns. Looking ahead, our outlook reflects both the current operating environment and our confidence in our ability to execute. Our second quarter guidance excludes Homes Direct, given the timing of the transaction close. Consumer purchasing power remains under pressure, and interest rates remain elevated relative to historical levels. Despite these headwinds, we believe Champion is well-positioned given the value and breadth of our product portfolio and the broad reach of our channel network. Material costs remain elevated across the industry. Though the rate of inflation has slowed from what we saw earlier in the fiscal year, and we continue to execute strategies to mitigate the impact.
Looking toward the second quarter of fiscal 2027, we expect revenue to grow mid-single digits compared to the prior year. This reflects the demand increases we saw in Q1 and resulting increases to backlog across our channels. We expect near-term adjusted gross margin in the 25%-26% range as the actions we have taken to mitigate material cost pressures are beginning to take hold, and we expect those benefits to build as we move through the second quarter. We continue to manage SG&A prudently, with a focus on advancing our strategic growth priorities and driving execution. In Q2, we expect adjusted SG&A as a percent of sales to be 16%-17%, consistent with Q1, and our run rates following the Iseman acquisition. As a reminder, ENERGY STAR tax credits expired on July 1st, which is expected to increase the fiscal 2027 ETR to approximately 25%.
In summary, we remain disciplined in our near term while we continue to invest in our long-term strategy, generate strong cash flow, and allocate capital in ways that will create sustainable share owner value. I'll now turn the call back to Tim.
Thank you, Dave. Our first quarter results demonstrate that despite a dynamic operating environment, Champion continues to execute its strategy with excellence. The progress we've made over the last several years starts with our people, who we believe are the best in the industry. It is also reflected in our channel diversification, retail expansion, product innovation, and our direct-to-consumer platform. Each of these position us favorably relative to the broader market, as demonstrated by our performance in Q1. With that, operator, let's open the line and proceed with questions.
Thank you. As a reminder at this time, if you would like to ask a question, it is the star and one on your touchtone telephone. If at any point you find your question has been answered, you may remove yourself from the queue by pressing star two. Again, that is star one to ask a question. We'll take our first question from Dan Moore with CJS Securities. Please go ahead.
Hi, this is Will in for Dan. Thanks for taking our questions. Can you update us on the cadence of retail traffic and orders through May and June, as well as early Q2 in July?
Good morning. We saw good momentum through the quarter, and that's reflected in our backlog growth and certainly our outlook for Q2. That traffic was both digitally as well as through the stores. I would say the traffic at retail also indicates broader traffic that we're seeing with our independent dealers, and you saw the strength of that in our quarter as well as in our guide. We've been pleased with the traffic and we're looking forward to seeing that go throughout the summer months here into the rest of the year.
Thank you. That's very helpful. Inside the plants, where are you increasing production given the uptick in backlog? Where are you holding steady, and how should we think about production in Q2 relative to the quarter you just reported?
We began ramping production in the key markets where we saw the growth in Q1, and we'll continue to do that through Q2. We do that very thoughtfully by plant location, looking at what their backlog is, what market conditions they're operating in. We have been increasing production. You saw that through our utilization. We'll continue to do so where it makes sense by each region.
Thank you. Just one more. ASPs tick lower sequentially. Was that a function of mix? Fewer homes sold through captive retail, both? What are your expectations for the next few quarters relative to the ASP you reported in Q1?
Morning, Dan. A couple of things going on within the ASP. We talked about some pricing actions we've been able to take, in Q1, to mitigate some of the inflation. That's definitely a positive as we think about ASP. Couple just headwinds that we have is first one primarily on the channel mix side of things. We're seeing good strength out of the community and independent channels. That, while good in overall volume in net sales, is a little bit of an ASP headwind for us. That's the first one I'd point to. The second one, and smaller in impact for us, but still notable
Would just be on the product mix. What we're seeing is, we've talked about the consumer environment, as they make their choices, they are going to more base-level models, especially as we see them move into the multi sections. They're electing for a more base-level model in the multi section. Those are a couple dynamics that we're seeing play out on the mix side of things and impacting ASP. As we think about it going forward, obviously this will vary quarter-to-quarter as we think about what's going to be sold through our captive retail channel, as that has a big impact on ASPs versus independents and communities. Generally, next quarter, I'd expect it to be sequentially higher than this quarter. As we think about it year-on-year, roughly flat. Maybe some slight headwinds just given that mix play out.
Again, this will vary as we move forward quarter-to-quarter.
That is great color. Thank you so much.
Thank you. We'll take our next question from Phil Ng with Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Hey, guys. Really impressive quarter. I guess first off, the guidance you guys provide for fiscal 2Q, the mid-single digit growth, which is great. Any way to unpack the organic piece, price, I guess Dave already gave price, but any way to unpack the Homes Direct piece in the quarter versus the organic side of things?
Yeah. Phil, the guide is all organic. We did not include Homes Direct in that guide, just given the timing of the close here late last week. As we think about Homes Direct, it'll be relatively immaterial to the total, but it will be additive to that guide that I provided.
Okay. Is there going to be a ramp up period in terms of how that kind of builds and how you integrate in terms of the drop through contribution as we think about how the year progresses?
Yeah, Phil, as far as Homes Direct, we've mentioned they did about $70 million in sales. They have 11 locations. One of those locations was next to our Chandler facility, and we were the primary provider of products, obviously there. The other 10 operate like our traditional dealers. You're going to see that ramp over time as we migrate other manufacturers' products to ours. As you think about the business, those are some of the indicators, and we'll update you as we go along. Just to reiterate, there's none of that in our guide in Q2.
Super. That's helpful. Certainly, exciting news on the legislation front on the ROAD to Housing Act. Tim, perhaps, how quickly you think HUD's going to be able to give you some color in terms of how this ramps up, and then you certainly have to retool your specs, your product offering, inventory. Just kind of help us think through when we could potentially see an uplift in demand and some of the steel chassis dynamic. Should we think of that as a cost good guy or perhaps it makes your product even more of a value prop for some of the consumers?
Yeah, appreciate the question, Phil. We're very pleased legislation passed and the support that came from the leadership of HUD, Secretary Turner, was just tremendous. As we mentioned in the prepared remarks, the industry is now working with HUD on the detailed rulemaking that we will adopt to our code for the HUD code, and that allows us to permit homes without a chassis. That process, as you can imagine, takes time and there's engineering involved in really defining the product specs and also how does it affect transport and set and finish, things that we need to make sure that are ready to be able to comply with the code and the execution. That approach is ongoing. From there's obviously input that happens with a lot of different comment periods. We're not anticipating an impact in FY 2027 because those things take time.
In past HUD, if you will, impact has been a year plus. This may happen faster just given the focus on affordable housing, we don't anticipate immediate impact. It's going to be gradual over time, what we're pleased by is the team is working well with HUD, and we're going to continue to focus on the opportunities as they make sense. Then you've got the local piece, which is how long does the local adoption happen around zoning in each of those municipalities? That's in terms of the timing. In terms of your question on how we think about the chassis removal, yeah, we don't really see it as much as a cost play being the primary driver. It's really more about how this changes the aesthetic of our homes to be at priority with site build at the local level.
It also allows us to do other types of products, and it gives us the ability on the zoning side, as I mentioned. For municipalities that historically maybe weren't as supportive of homes with the chassis, it gives us that opportunity. We really see it as about expanding the addressable market, that product aesthetics, and also ultimately being able to engage a broader set of buyers through all of our channels, but certainly our build-to-developer channel in particular. It's encouraging, but it's going to take time, and we're engaged in that process right now.
Tim, could you see an uplift as early as spring selling season 2027?
Yeah, we'll update as we go along. It really depends on how long this process takes that I walked through. I will keep you posted as we go along, and the teams are engaged, and we'll keep you updated as we go along that process.
Okay. Really appreciate the color, guys. Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question goes to John Lovallo with UBS. Please go ahead.
Good morning, guys. Thanks for taking my questions as well. It seems like you're targeting a four-week-12-week backlog range. You're currently around the midpoint there. What is sort of the optimal backlog level for balancing revenue visibility, customer service, and operational efficiency?
Yeah, it's a great question. That is our range, we talk about it in that range. It really is plant by plant that we work on that because we're working with the customers. When do they need the homes? How does that tie to their projects, including set and finish timing? We like that four weeks-12 weeks. We do that customer by customer. For example, there are times customers will say, "Look, the orders I gave you, it's taking a little longer on set and finish, so you can pace those out. We'll move other customers up." That's where that range really comes into play. From a plant perspective, it allows obviously planfulness on labor. We make a decision plant by plant how we ramp based on that.
We also want to do it thoughtfully on the margin side because you don't want to drive, if you will, overtime or extra costs at a level that's unnecessary. There's a good balance there, and that's why that range of backlog is what we speak to.
Understood. Then the 2Q guide implies about 200 basis points of gross margin headwind, despite homes, the units increasing year-over-year and backlog being up about 34% sequentially. I mean, is the bulk of this the elevated input cost inflation, or is there just other factors that we should be considering?
Yeah, thanks. I think it's all on the elevated input costs as we think about it. Just a couple things I'd note there, and we made the comment to it in the prepared remarks. We've seen those start to level off now, albeit at this higher rate. As we look forward, what we're assuming is kind of the environment that we're in now tacking forward. Obviously, it's a pretty volatile environment, we'll have to see how that unfolds. It's those same cost pressures that we talked about into Q1, or back in Q1 as we think about the offsetting mitigation actions, and we've spoken about this. We've spoken about pricing. We've spoken about driving efficiency within the manufacturing. We'll continue to execute against those things, and we should see those accelerate as we move through Q2 as well.
Great. Appreciate it, guys.
Thank you.
Thank you. We'll go next to Matthew Bouley with Barclays. Please go ahead.
Morning, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions. Wanted to ask about, in terms of the rulemaking process now that the legislation has been passed. Gives us kind of an open-ended question here. How do you think about the sort of benefits of standardization in manufacturing? Obviously, when you had a fairly specific HUD code, that ability to kind of create a lot of the same unit with various changes that would have benefits to your manufacturing. On the other hand, now with the removal potentially of the chassis, you can have more flexible design methods. Again, an open-ended question, but maybe in terms of how you're putting forth your own inputs into that rulemaking process. Then, when it does eventually get into place, how do you think about that balance between, again, standardization versus more of that flexible design? Thank you.
Yeah, appreciate that, Matt. Great question. Part of the approach is by having a national HUD code that allows for broader utilization of our off-site built homes versus, say, traditional modular, there is a benefit that you can have national product, national specs that you can leverage across your platform, albeit with some local variation where it makes sense. That's compared to previously modular-built homes that took on the local building specs, which is why modular typically has not as great of adoption as HUD. We now get the benefit of that national, but through the chassis removal approach. In terms of plant by plant, one of the things that our teams always work on is how effective can they be at having enough changeover between types of product. As you've seen in obviously our product portfolio, we can make a very entry-level home, multi-section.
We can make park models, cabins, various variants of those homes. The agility of the team is a key part of that. Part of what we do during the rulemaking is to help make sure that there are as much standardization as possible while still delivering on what the customer is going to expect, that standardization does help the execution that you mentioned. That's literally the process that the teams are going through and the preparation that we'll do as we go forward in leveraging the benefits of our experience on various products that we've done in our facilities.
Got it. Okay. Yeah, no, that's really helpful, especially discussing the sort of local versus national code versus what you already do with modular. Really helpful there. I guess secondly, maybe just sticking on the same topic because it's such a big topic here going forward. Since the legislation has been passed, how are your conversations going with your institutional customers, with REITs, with builder-developers? What do you think they're going to be looking for from you with this new kind of design flexibility going forward? Thank you.
Yeah, clearly our builder-developer business is where you have most of that occurring, given that they're in development projects. They're thinking about their future land use, and so we're in more of the strategic discussions there because they, too, are waiting to see how long is it going to take to get down to this to actual product in the market, and that's going to take some time. As I mentioned in my prepared remarks, we're hearing from our key customers that many of them are going to continue with the chassis. Communities obviously make some independence that serve more of the traditional HUD buyer. We're prepared to have our portfolio support both chassis and off-chassis, and we think that balance is really important given the type of industry we serve and our range of channels.
The conversations with those builders, it's encouraging because they remember when they went to zoning and said, "Well, we want this project," and they said, "Well, we want you to do it mod, not HUD." Well, now we can come back to those in the future and say, "Well, we can do a home that looks like it's on a foundation because it won't be on a chassis," and those are the type of opportunities that we see. It's a balanced approach across our channels that we see as we go forward.
Well, got it. Well, thank you, Tim. Good luck, guys.
Thank you. We'll take our next question from Greg Palm with Craig-Hallum. Please go ahead.
Good morning. This is Jackson Schroeder with Greg Palm. Appreciate you taking the question. Kind of wanted to just start out on getting some color on some of the key markets that you had talked about that saw growth and what kind of drivers to your outperformance, as well as if you could touch on any competitive dynamics that might be happening across geographies that impacted the quarter, and if that might have been a part of the ASPs.
In terms of geographies, we saw obviously some increased shipments in Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, those states. A little weaker in the West and parts of the Midwest during the first quarter. With respect to orders and our backlog, we did see broad strength around geographies, maybe a little bit of weakness there in the West relative to the rest of the growth. That's from a geography perspective. From your question on the competitive element, you can imagine that every day our teams are all competing to earn that customer, and various markets have certain amounts of retailers and retail presence. Our team does a really good job at helping that customer get to them to the right home, the right price point every month that they're looking to pay, and that's what the battleground is in terms of that approach.
I've been pleased with how that's happening. To your question on ASP, no, that was more of a function of having more community orders, more retail orders, independent retailers versus captive retail. As Dave mentioned, we have the wholesale price there versus when we have the retail being the main driver, you get the retail and the wholesale. Pricing was really a function of the channel mix that we had versus something more direct in terms of your question. We did see from a consumer perspective, as Dave mentioned, the entry-level piece, which is obviously going to be driven by the consumer. We think it's all healthy things relative to the market and our ability to grow share with the right balance in the marketplace.
Perfect. Do you see that kind of shift towards base model? Is that kind of possibly a longer-term thing, or is that kind of just something that hit in the quarter and kind of starts to normalize going forward?
It certainly reflects the consumer, as the consumer health and strengthens, you'll see some opportunities there. It also, again, is by channel, and as community strengthens in their need, there tend to be in those single section affordable price point. It's really going to be more based on those market factors. We're positioned well across our portfolio in a range of options. We have our good, better, best approach, which allows us to ladder up where there's opportunities with consumers.
Perfect. I'll leave it there. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. As a reminder, it is star and one to ask a question. We'll take our next question from Jesse Lederman with Zelman. Please go ahead.
Hey, thanks for taking the questions, and nice job during the quarter. I've got another question on price. Not to kind of harp on it, but it sounded like last quarter you were anticipating some of these channel and price point mix headwinds, and if I remember correctly, suggested that you thought pricing would be relatively steady sequentially, and of course, with the decline, kind of still wondering, were the mix headwinds more than you were expecting? What were some of the other dynamics that may have deviated from your expectations entering the quarter?
Yeah. Thanks, Jesse. Exactly as you said it, just a little bit more of a headwind than we had initially anticipated. Really nothing more to it than that. We did anticipate as we went through, but it was a little bit more. We saw more strength in independents and communities than we had anticipated.
Got it. I guess it's a good problem to have. I guess on a like-for-like pricing basis, how would you describe your pricing power and pricing out in the market?
We talked about we've taken pricing actions in Q1, and with our product, we feel like we can get the value for our product, and we've done that very strategically to maintain competitiveness in each of our markets. We feel good about that. I do think it's important to understand the pricing dynamic that we're talking about. When we sell a home wholesale, the average price is in the $85,000 range. When we sell it in captive, it's in the $140,000, $150,000 range. If you think about the strength, when I talk about the relative strength in community and wholesale or independent, excuse me, you're really talking about that $85,000 price point versus a $140,000 price point. A small move in that can actually have a pretty big impact to ASP.
When I talk about versus expectations, we're not talking about a huge move. It's really just that difference between wholesale and retail pricing and the impact that can have. That's why I made that comment towards how it will vary quarter-to-quarter as we go forward, because these aren't huge moves, but they can have pretty what look like percentage point changes on ASP.
That's really helpful. Thank you. I guess me and perhaps others were underappreciating the magnitude that the mix dynamics can have on the ASP. That was really interesting and helpful color. I'd love to talk a little bit more about SG&A. Seems to kind of continually grudge higher quarter-over-quarter. Was up about $4 million-$5 million on an adjusted basis, and which the prior quarter should already include Iseman Homes, and we're going to have the Homes Direct overhead presumably entering the fold coming up here the next quarter or two. Just curious if you could talk about kind of the pre-Homes Direct run rate of SG&A, what's in there, what's maybe transitory, what might come out, and how we should expect SG&A to trend once kind of the Homes Direct overhead is more fully incorporated.
We've been pretty consistent at 16%-17% of sales. As we think about our SG&A, you have to remember that a good portion of that is variable. It comes with as we sell homes as we sell more homes, you're going to get higher SG&A costs.
There is a big relationship there. Homes Direct will add to it as we go forward. It's a little bit larger than Iseman from a sales perspective. If I were to point you to what to look at, think about the relative size of Iseman to Homes Direct, and then you can kind of adjust your model proportionately for SG&A. You can think about it that way, what Homes Direct would add. As we think about steady state going forward, ultimately, we'll start to pick up some leverage on the fixed portion of the SG&A, and we'll continue to do that. It's that variable portion that will tick the absolute dollar higher.
As you think it is a percent of sales, we'll see it gradually over time as we continue to expand the top line, and we get that leverage on the fixed portion of it. We'll see the percent of sales work lower, but the absolute dollar will work higher. Right? That's kind of how to think about it, Jesse.
Yeah, makes sense. Appreciate that. Just kind of looks like even if I assume some run rate for variable versus fixed, the fixed component did tick higher quarter-over-quarter as well. Do you see this maybe an update on maybe relative to like a year ago outside of Iseman, what some of the SG&A, I know you've talked about in the past, some of the technology initiatives, if you can give us an update on how that's trending.
Yeah. Just a couple of things. One, if you look at the prior year in Q1, we did have some discrete things that impacted it. That's why I say more broadly, if you step back and look at a broader set of quarters, that's one thing to look at. The other thing to think about is as retail grows, so will SG&A. Retail runs heavier as a percent of sales to SG&A. There's a mix in retail. Tim spoke about retail ticking up slightly as a total of our business in net sales. There's that impact as well. We are making investments for the long term. As we think about that, we're making choices on how we fund it to drive SG&A prudently.
Where can we shift dollars of investment, but we are making investments in infrastructure, things like IT, people, our team members, things like that, to make sure that we can drive the business over the long term.
Really helpful. Thanks for all the color.
Great. Well, we appreciate everybody joining us today. We look forward to updating you in our second quarter and all the progress in the market. Thanks, everybody. Have a great day.
Thanks.
Thank you. This brings us to the end of today's meeting. We appreciate your time and participation. You may now disconnect.

Champion Homes (SKY) Q1 Earnings Lag Estimates
Champion Homes (SKY) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.88 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.89 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.19 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -1.12%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this manufactured and modular housing maker would post earnings of $0.63 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.68, delivering a surprise of +7.94%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Champion Homes, which belongs to the Zacks Building Products - Mobile Homes and RV Builders industry, posted revenues of $710.23 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.74%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $701.32 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Champion Homes shares have lost about 4.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 11%. While Champion Homes has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Champion Homes was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock.

Champion Homes shares have lost about 4.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 11%. While Champion Homes has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Champion Homes was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

(NYSE: SKY) ("Champion Homes" or the "Company") today announced financial results for its first quarter ended June 27, 2026 ("fiscal 2027"). First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Highlights Net sales increased 1.3% to $710.2 million compared to first quarter fiscal 2026 Backlog of $421.8 million Gross profit margin of 25.2% Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $0.89; adjusted EPS of $0.88 EBITDA of $74.0 million; adjusted EBITDA of $73.6 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.4% "We began fiscal 2027 with encouraging demand trends and results in line with expectations," said Tim Larson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Champion Homes. "Our team continued to outperform the broader industry in a challenging environment. Champion’s differentiated platform, dedicated team, and recently closed Homes Direct acquisition strengthen our ability to deliver affordable housing solutions, enhance our retail footprint, and drive long-term growth." First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Results Net sales for the first quarter fiscal 2027 increased 1.3% to $710.2 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the first quarter fiscal 2027 increased 1.8% to 7,089, driven primarily by an increase in sales from captive retail stores. The ASP per U.S. home sold increased 0.6% to $95,600 due to increased prices on new homes sold through our company-owned retail sales centers. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter was 185. Gross profit was $179.3 million in the first quarter fiscal 2027. Adjusted gross profit was $179.0 million for an adjusted gross profit margin of 25.2%. Higher material costs were partially offset by modest sales growth and pricing benefits in company-owned retail. Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the first quarter fiscal 2027 increased to $119.0 million from $111.3 million in the same period last year, due to the inclusion of Iseman Homes and the company’s expanded retail footprint.

Champion Homes uses these Non-GAAP Financial Measures for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors.
