“I am impressed with the team’s ability to increase production in this unpredictable operating environment, while balancing enhanced safety protocols in our facilities,” said Mark Yost, Skyline Champion’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We generated double digit net sales growth and delivered strong financial performance during the quarter despite headwinds from rapidly increasing material costs. With the strong long term housing outlook magnified by our investment to enhance online design and quoting solutions, we are focused on increasing capacity utilization and automation to take care of our customers.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results
Net sales for the third quarter fiscal 2021 increased 10.3% to $377.6 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. factory-built homes sold in the third quarter fiscal 2021 increased 6.2% to 5,343 compared to the prior year third quarter, as a result of strong demand and increased production levels. ASP per U.S. home sold increased 4.0% to $63,000 due to price increases in response to rising material costs, partly offset by a shift in product mix. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter increased to 318 homes compared to 276 homes in the prior-year period due to stronger demand and increased production levels. Total backlog for Skyline Champion was $488.5 million as of December 26, 2020 compared to $133.1 million as of December 28, 2019. Backlog increased $98.4 million during the quarter compared to a decrease of $38.9 million in the third quarter fiscal 2020 driven by strong order levels that have outpaced production.
Gross profit increased by 4.2% to $71.8 million in the third quarter fiscal 2021 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 19.0% of net sales, a 110 basis point reduction compared to 20.1% in the third quarter fiscal 2020. The compression in the gross profit margin was due to increased material costs caused by market volatility in certain commodities including forest products, partially offset by direct labor efficiencies, fixed cost leverage and operational improvements.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the third quarter fiscal 2021 decreased to $44.3 million from $45.2 million in the same period last year due to decreased travel and marketing-related expenses, integration costs, and equity-based compensation. These cost reductions were partially offset by increases in variable incentive compensation.
Net income for the third quarter fiscal 2021 was $21.6 million, an improvement compared to net income of $17.0 million during the same period of the prior year. The increase in net income was mainly driven by the increase in sales and gross profit, as well as reductions in SG&A and income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter fiscal 2021 increased by 7.8% to $32.1 million compared to the third quarter fiscal 2020 primarily driven by an increase in net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 20 basis points to 8.5% due to higher material costs.
As of December 26, 2020, Skyline Champion had $267.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. During the quarter, the Company repaid $38.0 million on its revolving credit facility and has no significant long term debt maturities until June 2023.

About Skyline Champion Corporation:
Skyline Champion Corporation (NYSE: SKY) was formed on June 1, 2018 as the result of the combination of Skyline Corporation (“Skyline”) and the operating assets of Champion Enterprises Holdings, LLC (“Champion”). The combined company employs over 7,000 people and is the largest independent, publicly traded, factory-built housing company in North America. With almost 70 years of homebuilding experience and 38 manufacturing facilities throughout the United States and western Canada, Skyline Champion is well positioned with a leading portfolio of manufactured and modular homes, ADUs, park-models and modular buildings for the single-family, multi-family, hospitality, senior and workforce housing sectors.
In addition to its core home building business, Skyline Champion operates a factory-direct retail business, Titan Factory Direct, with 18 retail locations spanning the southern United States, and Star Fleet Trucking, providing transportation services to the manufactured housing and other industries from several dispatch locations across the United States.
Skyline Champion builds homes under some of the most well-known brand names in the factory-built housing industry including Skyline Homes, Champion Home Builders, Genesis Homes, Athens Park Models, Dutch Housing, Excel Homes, Homes of Merit, New Era, Redman Homes, Shore Park, Silvercrest, Titan Homes in the U.S., and Moduline and SRI Homes in western Canada.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) throughout this press release, Skyline Champion has provided non-GAAP financial measures—Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (including dilutive securities, if any)—which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. Skyline Champion uses these non-GAAP financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors. Skyline Champion believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that Skyline Champion believes are not representative of its core business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of Skyline Champion’s financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Skyline Champion defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss plus (a) the provision for income taxes, (b) interest expense, net, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) gain or loss from discontinued operations, (e) equity-based compensation awards granted before December 31, 2018, (f) restructuring charges, (g) impairment of assets, and (h) other non-operating costs including those for the acquisition and integration of businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of earnings calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net sales, operating income or earnings per share prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis. Skyline Champion believes that Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors to evaluate its performance and that of its competitors. However, Skyline Champion’s use of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in its industry. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled from the respective measure under U.S. GAAP in the tables below. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales reported in the statement of operations. Adjusted EPS is calculated as net income or loss plus (a) equity-based compensation awards granted before December 31, 2018, (b) restructuring charges, (c) impairment of assets, and (d) other non-operating costs including those for the acquisition and integration of businesses, including the related tax effect, if any, on these items.
