Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "target," "potential," "will," "would," "could," "should," "continue," "contemplate," "aim" and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements, including, but not limited to increases in interest rates, availability of credit, low consumer confidence, availability of labor, significant increases in repurchase obligations, inadequate liquidity or capital resources, availability and price of fuel, a slowdown in the economy, increased material and component costs, availability of chassis and other key component parts, sales order cancelations, slower than anticipated sales of new or existing products, new product introductions by competitors, the effect of global tensions, and integration of operations relating to mergers and acquisitions activities. Additional information concerning certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from that projected or suggested is contained in the "Risk Factors" section in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q or to reflect any changes in expectations after the date of this release or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

REV Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(All tabular amounts presented in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of REV Group, Inc. ("REV" or "the Company") and all its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise noted) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Equity Sponsor Exit: Prior to the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company's largest equity holder was comprised of (i) American Industrial Partners Capital Fund IV, LP, (ii) American Industrial Partners Capital Fund IV (Parallel), LP and (iii) AIP/CHC Holdings, LLC, which the Company collectively refers to as "AIP" or "Sponsor".
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company completed two underwritten public offerings (the "Offerings") in which shares of common stock previously held by AIP were sold. Upon completion of the second of the two Offerings, AIP ceased to beneficially own at least 15% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, in the aggregate. As a result, under the terms of the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2017 (as amended), AIP no longer has significant influence over the Company, including control over decisions that require the approval of stockholders, and no longer has the right to nominate any directors to the board of directors of the Company. Each of the board members previously nominated by AIP resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company, effective upon the completion of the second of the two Offerings. AIP is no longer considered a sponsor or related party of the Company.
Related Party Transactions: During the three months ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company did not incur expenses associated with its former Sponsor. During each of the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company reimbursed expenses of its former Sponsor of $0.2million. These expenses are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Reclassifications:Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the fiscal year 2024 presentation and improve comparability between periods. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncement - Adopted
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04 "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations". The amendments in this ASU require that a company that uses a supplier finance program in connection with the purchase of goods or services disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We adoptedASU 2022-04 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 and have indicated the impact of ASU 2022-04 to our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 3, Supply Chain Finance Program, for further details.
Accounting Pronouncements - To Be Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". The amendments in this ASU require public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments' significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt ASU 2023-07 in fiscal year 2025 and are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Revenue Recognition
Substantially all of the Company's revenue is recognized from contracts with customers with product shipment destinations in the United States and Canada. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights and payment terms of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company determines the transaction price for each contract at inception based on the consideration that it expects to receive for the goods and services promised under the contract. The transaction price excludes sales and usage-based taxes collected and certain "pass-through" amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company has elected to expense incremental costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period of the related asset is expected to be less than one year.
The Company's primary source of revenue is generated from the manufacture and sale of specialty and recreational vehicles through its direct sales force and dealer network. The Company also generates revenue through separate contracts that relate to the sale of aftermarket parts and services. Revenue is typically recognized at a point-in-time, when control is transferred, which generally occurs when the product has been shipped to the customer or when it has been picked-up from the Company's manufacturing facilities. Shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control are fulfillment costs that are recorded in Cost of sales in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income when incurred or when the related product revenue is recognized, whichever is earlier. Periodically, certain customers may request bill and hold transactions according to the terms in the contract. In such cases, revenue is not recognized until after control has transferred which is generally when the customer has requested such transaction and has been notified that the product (i) has been completed according to customer specifications, (ii) has passed our quality control inspections, (iii) has been separated from our inventory and is ready for physical transfer to the customer, and (iv) the Company cannot use the product or redirect the product to another customer. Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the unit's intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The Company is generally entitled to bill its customers upon satisfaction of its performance obligations, and payment is usually received shortly after billing. Payments for certain contracts are received in advance of satisfying the related performance obligations. Such payments are recorded as Customer advances in the Company's Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company reduces the customer advance balances when the Company transfers control of the promised good or service. During the three months ended July 31, 2024, and July 31, 2023, the Company recognized $31.3million and $26.8million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the customer advance balances of $357.4million and $332.8million as of October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively. During the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company recognized $124.3million and $109.0million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the customer advance balances of $357.4million and $332.8million as of October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively. The Company's payment terms do not include a significant financing component outside of the Specialty Vehicles segment. Within the Specialty Vehicles segment, customers earn interest on customer advances at a rate determined at contract inception. The Company incurred interest charges on customer advances during the three months ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023of $2.6million and $2.2million, respectively. The Company incurred interest charges on customer advances during the nine months ended July 31, 2024, and July 31, 2023of $7.2million and $6.3million, respectively. The interest charges were recorded in Interest expense in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company does not have significant contract assets.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of July 31, 2024, the Company had unsatisfied performance obligations for non-cancelable contracts with an original duration greater than one year totaling $3,058.9million, of which $1,078.0million is expected to be satisfied and recognized in revenue in the next twelve monthsand $1,980.9million is expected to be satisfied and recognized in revenue thereafter.
Note 3. Supply Chain Finance Program
The Company has an unsecured agreement with a third-party financial institution to facilitate a supply chain finance ("SCF") program. The SCF program allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables due from the Company, on an invoice level at the selection of the supplier, to the financial institution and negotiate their outstanding receivable arrangements and associated fees directly with the financial institution. The Company is not party to the agreements between the supplier and the financial institution. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program require payment in full by the Company within 120days of the invoice date.
All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF program are confirmed with the third-party financial institution and are recorded in Accounts payablein the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's outstanding obligation under the SCF program as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 was $10.9million and $13.1million, respectively.

Additionally,during the quarter ended July 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $1.9million impairment charge of an indefinite-lived trade name included within the Recreational Vehicles segment, which was due to lower than expected operating results at a specific business unit. These impairments were based on Level 3 inputs, as defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.
Note 7. Divestiture Activities
On January 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") by and among the Company, Collins Industries, Inc., ("Collins Industries") an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Collins Bus Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Collins Industries ("Collins"), Forest River, Inc. and Forest River Bus, LLC (the "Buyer"), pursuant to which Collins Industries agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Collins to the Buyer. The sale is aimed at optimizing the Company's portfolio of products and to create a more focused operating structure aligned with markets where the Company has a strong presence of industry leading brands. The transactions under the Stock Purchase Agreement closed on January 26, 2024.
In connection with the completion of the sale of Collins, the Company initially received cash consideration of $308.2million, inclusive of certain preliminary working capital adjustments, and recorded a gain on sale of $257.5million. During the three months ended July 31, 2024, the Company received additional cash consideration of $1.4million related to the final working capital adjustments and recorded additional gain on sale of $1.4million. The gain on sale isincluded in the Company's Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024. The Company incurred $5.0million of transaction costs in connection with this sale, which are included in the Selling, general and administrative expense in the Company's Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended July 31, 2024.

Note 8. Restructuring and Other Related Charges
On January 29, 2024, the Company announced that it would discontinue manufacturing operations at the Company's ENC facility in Riverside, California. Management believes the discontinuation of manufacturing at ENC will create a more focused portfolio that provides opportunities for growth, consistent cash generation and improved margin performance. ENC is included within the Specialty Vehicles segment.

ABL Facility
On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into a $550.0million revolving credit agreement (the "2021 ABL Facility" or "2021 ABL Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 ABL Facility provides for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0million. The total credit facility is subject to a $30.0million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35.0million sublimit for letters of credit (plus up to an additional $20.0million of letters of credit at issuing bank's discretion), along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the 2021 ABL Agreement. The 2021 ABL Agreement allows for incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0million, plus the excess, if any, of the borrowing base then in effect over total commitments then in effect. Any such incremental facilities are subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions. The debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with the 2021 ABL Facility less accumulated amortization are included in Other long-term assets in the Company's Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the debt on a straight-line basis. The 2021 ABL Facility matures on April 13, 2026. The Company may prepay principal, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.

On November 1, 2022, the Company amended the 2021 ABL Facility to transition from the Eurodollar based benchmark rates to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The transition from the Eurodollar rate to SOFR did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.
On February 7, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "ABL Facility Amendment") to the 2021 ABL Facility. The ABL Facility Amendment revised the definition of fixed charges under the 2021 ABL Facility to exclude a special cash dividend, which was declared in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 and paid in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.
All revolving loans under the 2021 ABL Facility, as amended, bear interest at rates equal to, at the Company's option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin, or a SOFR rate plus an applicable margin and credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for all interest periods. As of July 31, 2024, the interest rate margins are 1.0% for all base rate loans and 2.0% for all SOFR rate loans (with the SOFR rate having a floor of 0.0%), subject to adjustment based on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio in accordance with the 2021 ABL Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly for all base rate loans and is payable on the last day of any interest period or every three months for all SOFR rate loans. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the 2021 ABL Facility was 7.44% as of July 31, 2024. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the 2021 ABL Facility was 6.93% as of October 31, 2023.
The lenders under the 2021 ABL Facility have a first priority security interest in substantially all personal property assets and certain real property assets of the Company. The 2021 ABL Facility's borrowing base is comprised of eligible receivables and eligible inventory, plus a fixed asset sublimit of certain eligible real property and eligible equipment, which fixed asset sublimit reduces by quarterly amortization as specified in the 2021 ABL Agreement.
The 2021 ABL Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, subject in certain cases to customary limitations, exceptions and exclusions. The 2021 ABL Agreement also contains certain customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default under the 2021 ABL Agreement could result in the termination of the commitments under the ABL Facility and the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under it. The 2021 ABL Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10to 1.00during certain compliance periods as specified in the 2021 ABL Agreement.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2021 ABL Agreement as of July 31, 2024. As of July 31, 2024, the Company's availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $261.8million. As of October 31, 2023, the Company's availability under the 2021 ABL Facility was $384.1million.
The fair value of the 2021 ABL Facility approximated the book value on July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023.
Note 10. Warranties
The Company's products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from several months to several years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Selected components (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) included in the Company's end products may include warranties from original equipment manufacturers ("OEM"). These OEM warranties are passed on to the end customer of the Company's products, and the customer deals directly with the applicable OEM for any issues encountered on those components.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, which excludes shares of issued but unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income, if applicable, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution. The difference between basic EPS and diluted EPS is the result of the dilutive effect of unvested performance stock units, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards. The reconciliation of basic weighted-average shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding was as follows:

Note 12. Income Taxes
For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate based on the projected income for its entire fiscal year and records a provision or benefit for income taxes on a quarterly basis based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for any discrete tax items.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.4million for the three months ended July 31, 2024, or 19.6% of pre-tax income, compared to $3.5million of expense, or 19.0% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended July 31, 2023. Income tax expense for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 was favorably impacted by net discrete tax benefits of $0.9and $1.1million, respectively, primarily related to a federal provision-to-return adjustment.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $68.5million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024, or 24.1% of pre-tax income, compared to $4.2million of expense, or 21.2% of pretax income, for the nine months ended July 31, 2023. Income tax expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was unfavorably impacted by $61.3million of net discrete tax expense, primarily related to gain on sale of Collins. Income tax expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was favorably impacted by $1.0million of net discrete tax benefit, primarily related to a federal provision-to-return adjustment.
The Company periodically evaluates its valuation allowance requirements as facts and circumstances change and may adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances accordingly. It is reasonably possible that the Company will either add to or reverse a portion of its existing deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future. Such changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances will be reflected in the current operations through the Company's effective income tax rate.
The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $3.3million as of July 31, 2024 and $5.6million as of October 31, 2023. The unrecognized tax benefits are presented in Other long-term liabilities in the Company's Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 31, 2024. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in its Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
13
The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from examinations to determine the adequacy of its tax reserves. As of July 31, 2024, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax positions it has taken will be sustained upon the resolution of its audits resulting in no material impact on its consolidated financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. However, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from the Company's estimates and/or from its historical income tax provisions and income tax liabilities and could have a material effect on operating results and/or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, and/or interest assessments related to income tax examinations.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is, from time to time, party to various legal proceedings, including product and general liability claims, arising out of the ordinary course of business. Assessments of legal proceedings can involve complex judgments about future events that may rely on estimates and assumptions. When assessing whether to record a liability related to legal proceedings, the Company adheres to the requirements of ASC 450, Contingencies, and other applicable guidance as necessary, and records liabilities in those instances where it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss and when the loss is probable. When a range exists that is reasonably estimable and the loss is probable, the Company records an accrual in its financial statements equal to the most likely estimate of the loss, or the low end of the range, if there is no one best estimate. Additionally, these claims are generally covered by third-party insurance, which for some insurance policies are subject to a retention for which the Company is responsible.
Market Risks: The Company is contingently liable under bid, performance and specialty bonds issued by the Company's surety company and has open standby letters of credit issued by the Company's banks in favor of third parties as follows:

Chassis Contingent Liabilities: The Company obtains certain vehicle chassis from automobile manufacturers under converter pool agreements. These agreements generally provide that the manufacturer will supply chassis at the Company's various production facilities under the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement. The manufacturer does not transfer the certificate of origin to the Company upon delivery. Accordingly, the chassis are not owned by the Company when delivered, and therefore, are excluded from the Company's inventory. Upon being put into production, the Company owns the inventory and becomes obligated to pay the manufacturer for the chassis. Chassis are typically placed into production within 90 to 120 days of delivery to the Company. If the chassis are not placed into production within this timeframe, the Company generally purchases the chassis and records inventory, or the Company is obligated to begin paying an interest charge on this inventory until purchased. Such agreements are customary in the industries in which the Company operates and the Company's exposure to loss under such agreements is limited by the value of the vehicle chassis that would be resold to mitigate any losses. The Company's maximum contingent liability under such agreements was $19.4 million and $8.8million as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively.
From time to time, the Company's customers may provide their own vehicle chassis, at their sole discretion, in connection with specific vehicle orders. These vehicle chassis are stored at the Company's various production facilities until the related value-added work is completed and the finished unit is shipped back to the customer. The customer does not transfer the vehicle chassis certificate of origin to the Company. Accordingly, such chassis are not owned by the Company when delivered or throughout the production process, and are, therefore, excluded from the Company's inventory. The Company's maximum contingent liability related to these vehicle chassis was $38.4million and $25.9million as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. Losses incurred related to these arrangements have not been significant.
Repurchase Commitments: The Company has repurchase agreements with certain lending institutions. The repurchase commitments are on an individual unit basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through payment date by the dealer or other customer, generally not exceeding two years. The Company also repurchases inventory from dealers from time to time due to state law or regulatory requirements that require manufacturers to repurchase inventory if a dealership exits the business. The Company's maximum contingent liability under such agreements was $381.0million and $490.1million as of July 31, 2024, and October 31, 2023, respectively, which represents the gross value of all vehicles under repurchase agreements. Such agreements are customary in the industries in which the Company operates and the Company's exposure to loss under such agreements is limited by the resale value of the units which are required to be repurchased. Losses incurred under such arrangements have not been significant. The reserve for losses included in other liabilities on contracts outstanding as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 are immaterial.
14
Guarantee Arrangements: The Company is party to multiple agreements whereby it guaranteed an aggregate of $22.9million and $27.2million at July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively, of indebtedness of others, including losses under loss pool agreements. The Company estimated that its maximum loss exposure under these contracts was $4.0million and $5.4million as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. Under the terms of these and various related agreements and upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company generally has the ability to, among other things, take possession of the underlying collateral. The guarantee arrangements are on an individual contract basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through payment date by the customer, generally not exceeding five years. While the Company does not expect to experience losses under these agreements that are materially in excess of the amounts reserved, it cannot provide any assurance that the financial condition of the third parties will not deteriorate resulting in the third party's inability to meet their obligations. Additionally, the Company cannot guarantee that the collateral underlying the agreements will be available or sufficient to avoid losses materially in excess of the amount reserved. The reserve for losses included in other liabilities on these guarantee arrangements as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 are immaterial.
Other Matters:
Krystal Bus: In January 2023, the Company agreed, in principle, to settle a claim brought by a plaintiff who was injured as a passenger in an accident involving a shuttle bus that was manufactured by Krystal Bus prior to the Company's acquisition of certain assets related to that business. The Company did not admit to any liability on the merits of the claim, but deemed a settlement to be in its best interest based on the facts and circumstances of the claim, as they developed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $11.5million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The Company was also involved in additional lawsuits filed by plaintiffs who were passengers on the shuttle bus that was in the same accident. During the nine months ended July 31, 2023 the Company recorded an additional loss of $2.2million, based on a range of possible outcomes and the nature of their injuries. The losses associated with these claims are included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended July 31, 2023. Payments related to these settlements were subsequently made and there is no remaining liability associated with these cases. The Company is in the process of seeking reimbursement of the settlement payments; however, no loss recovery asset has been recorded as of July 31, 2024.
Note 14. Business Segment Information
During the first fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company formed the Specialty Vehicles Segment by combining the Fire & Emergency and Commercial segment businesses. Additionally, the Recreation segment was renamed Recreational Vehicles. As a result, the Company is now organized into tworeportable segments, which is aligned with the chief operating decision maker's internal reporting structure and with the chief operating decision maker's process for making operating decisions, allocating capital and measuring performance. All segment information has been recast to conform to the new reportable segments. The Company's segments are as follows:
Specialty Vehicles: This segment includes Emergency One ("E-ONE"), Kovatch Mobile Equipment ("KME"), Ferrara, Spartan Emergency Response ("Spartan ER"), American Emergency Vehicles ("AEV"), Leader Emergency Vehicles ("Leader"), Horton Emergency Vehicles ("Horton"), REV Group Orlando, ENC, Capacity and LayMor. These businesses manufacture, market and distribute commercial and custom fire and emergency vehicles primarily for fire departments, airports, other governmental units, contractors, hospitals and other care providers in the United States and other countries, municipal transit buses primarily used for public transportation, trucks used in terminal type operations, i.e., rail yards, warehouses, rail terminals and shipping terminals/ports, and industrial sweepers for both the commercial and rental markets.
Recreational Vehicles: This segment includes REV Recreation Group, Renegade, Midwest, Lance and Goldshield Fiberglass, Inc., and their respective manufacturing facilities, service and parts divisions. REV Recreation Group primarily manufactures, markets and distributes Class A RVs in both gas and diesel models, and also distributes Class B and Class C RVs. Renegade primarily manufactures, markets and distributes Class C and "Super C" RVs. Midwest manufactures, markets and distributes Class B RVs and luxury vans. Lance manufactures, markets and distributes truck campers and towable campers. Goldshield manufactures, markets and distributes fiberglass reinforced molded parts to a diverse cross section of original equipment manufacturers and other commercial and industrial customers, including various components for REV Recreation Group's Fleetwood family of brands.
For purposes of measuring financial performance of its business segments, the Company does not allocate to individual business segments costs or items that are of a corporate nature. The caption "Corporate, Other & Elims" includes corporate expenses, results of insignificant operations, intersegment eliminations and income and expense not allocated to reportable segments.
Total assets of the business segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, certain property, plant and equipment and certain other assets pertaining to corporate and other centralized activities.
Intersegment sales generally include amounts invoiced by a segment for work performed for another segment. Amounts are based on actual work performed and agreed-upon pricing which is intended to be reflective of the contribution made by the supplying business segment. All intersegment transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In considering the financial performance of the business, the chief operating decision maker analyzes the primary financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss for the relevant period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income taxes, as adjusted for items management believes are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by U.S. GAAP but is computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of this performance measure to net income is included below.
The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and used by management for measuring profitability because the measure excludes the impact of certain items which management believes have less bearing on the Company's core operating performance, and allows for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within its industries by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to measure and report the Company's financial performance to the Company's Board of Directors, assists in providing a meaningful analysis of the Company's operating performance and is used as a measurement in incentive compensation for management.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations.
This management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q as well as the Management's Discussion and Analysis and Risk Factors and audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on December 13, 2023.
Overview
REV Group companies are leading designers, manufacturers and distributors of specialty vehicles and related aftermarket parts and services. We serve a diversified customer base, primarily in the United States, through two segments: Specialty Vehicles and Recreational Vehicles. We provide customized vehicle solutions for applications, including essential needs for public services (ambulances, fire apparatus, and transit buses), commercial infrastructure (terminal trucks and industrial sweepers) and consumer leisure (recreational vehicles). Our diverse portfolio is made up of well-established principal vehicle brands, including many of the most recognizable names within their industry. Several of our brands pioneered their specialty vehicle product categories and date back more than 50 years.
Segments
We serve a diversified customer base primarily in the United States and Canada through the following segments:
Specialty Vehicles- The Specialty Vehicles segment includes E-ONE, KME, Ferrara, Spartan ER, AEV, Horton, Leader, REV Group Orlando, ENC, Capacity, and LayMor. These businesses manufacture, market and distribute commercial and custom fire and emergency vehicles primarily for fire departments, airports, other governmental units, contractors, hospitals and other care providers in the United States and other countries, municipal transit buses primarily used for public transportation, trucks used in terminal type operations, i.e., rail yards, warehouses, rail terminals and shipping terminals/ports and industrial sweepers for both the commercial and rental markets.
Recreational Vehicles- Our Recreational Vehicles segment serves the RV market through the following principal brands: American Coach, Fleetwood RV, Holiday Rambler, Renegade RV, Midwest Automotive Designs and Lance Camper. We believe our brand portfolio contains some of the longest standing, most recognized brands in the RV industry. Under these brands, REV provides a variety of highly recognized motorized and towable RV models such as: American Eagle, Bounder, Discovery LXE, Renegade Verona, Renegade XL, among others. Our products in the Recreational Vehicles segment include Class A motorized RVs (motorhomes built on a heavy-duty chassis with either diesel or gas engine configurations), Class C and "Super C" motorized RVs (motorhomes built on a van or commercial truck chassis), Class B RVs (motorhomes built out within a van chassis and high-end luxury van conversions), and towable travel trailers and truck campers. The Recreational Vehicles segment also includes Goldshield Fiberglass, which produces a wide range of custom molded fiberglass products for the Fleetwood family of brands, RV, and broader industrial markets.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
The primary factors affecting our results of operations include:
General Economic Conditions
Our business is impacted by the U.S. economic environment, employment levels, consumer confidence, municipal spending, municipal tax receipts, changes in interest rates and stability in securities markets around the world, among other factors. In particular, changes in the U.S. economic climate can impact demand in key end markets. In addition, we are susceptible to supply chain disruptions resulting from the impact of tariffs and global macro-economic factors which can have a dramatic effect, either directly or indirectly, on the availability, lead-times and costs associated with raw materials and parts.
RV purchases are discretionary in nature and therefore sensitive to the cost and availability of financing, consumer confidence, unemployment levels, levels of disposable income and changing levels of consumer home equity, among other factors. RV markets are affected by general U.S. and global economic conditions, which create risks that future economic downturns will reduce consumer demand and negatively impact our sales.
While less economically sensitive than the Recreational Vehicles segment, the Specialty Vehicles segment is also impacted by the overall economic environment. For example, local tax revenues are an important source of funding for fire and emergency response departments, and these products are typically a larger cost item for municipalities and their service life is relatively long, making the purchase more deferrable, which can result in reduced demand for our products. Volatility in tax revenues or availability of funds via budgetary appropriation can have a negative impact on the demand for these products.
18
Seasonality
In a typical year, our operating results are impacted by seasonality. Historically, the slowest sales volume quarter has been the first fiscal quarter when the purchasing seasons for vehicles, such as RVs, are the lowest due to the colder weather and the relatively long time until the summer vacation season. Our first fiscal quarter also has less working days to complete and ship units due to the number of holidays and related vacation taken by employees. Sales of our products have typically been higher in the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters (with the fourth fiscal quarter typically being the strongest) due to better weather, the vacation season, buying habits of RV dealers and end-users, and timing of government/municipal customer fiscal years. Our quarterly results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity are likely to be impacted by these seasonal patterns. Sales and earnings for other vehicles that we produce, such as essential emergency vehicles, are less seasonal, but fluctuations in sales of these vehicles can also be impacted by timing surrounding the fiscal years of municipalities and commercial customers, as well as the timing and amounts of multi-unit orders.
Impact of Acquisitions and Divestitures
We actively evaluate opportunities to improve and expand our business through targeted acquisitions that are consistent with our strategy. We also may dispose of certain components of our business that no longer fit within our overall strategy. Historically, a significant component of our growth has been through acquisitions of businesses. We typically incur upfront costs as we integrate acquired businesses and implement our operating philosophy at newly acquired companies, including consolidation of supplies and materials purchases, improvements to production processes, and other restructuring initiatives. The benefits of these integration efforts and divestiture activities may not positively impact our financial results until subsequent periods, if at all.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we sold Collins, and in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 we sold certain assets of Fire RTC. Refer to Note 7, Divestiture Activities, of the Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Net Sales:Consolidated net sales decreased $100.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of Collins, which was divested on January 26, 2024, net sales decreased $54.7 million, or 8.6% compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in net sales, excluding the impact of Collins, is primarily due to lower net sales in the Recreational Vehicles segment, partially offset by higher net sales within the Specialty Vehicles segment. The decrease within the Recreational Vehicles segment was primarily due to lower unit shipments and increased discounting. The increase within the Specialty Vehicles segment, excluding the impact of the Collins divestiture, was primarily due to price realization and increased shipments of fire apparatus, ambulance units, and municipal transit buses, partially offset by lower shipments of terminal trucks.
Consolidated net sales decreased $162.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of the Collins divestiture, net sales decreased $69.6 million, or 3.8%, for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period. The decrease in net sales, excluding the impact of Collins, is primarily due to lower net sales in the Recreational Vehicles segment, partially offset by higher net sales within the Specialty Vehicles segment.

Excluding the impact of the Collins divestiture, gross profit increased $8.6 million, or 12.3% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in gross profit, excluding the impact of Collins, was primarily attributable to higher net sales and gross margin in the Specialty Vehicles segment, partially offset by lower net sales and gross margin within the Recreational Vehicles segment.

Excluding the impact of the Collins divestiture, gross profit increased $20.1 million, or 10.1%, for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period.

Selling, General and Administrative: Consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs decreased $11.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in SG&A costs for the three months ended July 31, 2024 was primarily due to lower personnel and share-based compensation costs and SG&A attributable to Collins.
Consolidated SG&A costs decreased $26.0 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period. The decrease in SG&A costs for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in legal costs associated with the legal case described in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, lower personnel and share-based compensation costs, and a decrease in SG&A attributable to Collins, partially offset by higher transaction expenses related to divestiture and capital market transactions.

Orders from our dealers and end customers are evidenced by a contract or firm purchase order or, in the case of the Recreational Vehicles segment, a reserved production slot. These orders are reported in our backlog at the aggregate selling prices, net of discounts or allowances. Orders included in the Recreational Vehicles segment backlog generally can be cancelled or postponed at the option of the dealer at any time without penalty. As a result, backlog in this segment may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales.
As of July 31, 2024, our backlog was $4,354.7 million compared to $4,136.8 million as of July 31, 2023, including $257.1 million related to Collins. Excluding the impact of the Collins divestiture, backlog increased $475.0 million compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in consolidated backlog was due to an increase within the Specialty Vehicles segment, partially offset by a decrease within the Recreational Vehicles segment. The increase in Specialty Vehicles segment backlog was primarily the result of continued demand and strong order intake for fire apparatus and ambulance units, along with pricing actions, partially offset by a decrease in backlog related to the wind down of municipal transit operations, increased unit shipments, and lower order intake for terminal truck units. The decrease in Recreational Vehicles segment backlog was primarily the result of lower order intake in certain product categories, unit shipments against backlog, and order cancelations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, the improvement and expansion of existing manufacturing facilities, debt service payments and general corporate needs. Historically, these cash requirements have been met through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our ABL credit facility.
We believe that our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations and growth strategy. However, we cannot assure that cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under the current revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our future needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, and if availability under the 2021 ABL Facility is not sufficient due to the size of our borrowing base or other external factors, we may have to obtain additional financing. If additional capital is obtained by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations or may involve higher overall interest rates. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all.

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was $15.2 million and was primarily related to the income tax payments associated with the sale of Collins and lower receipts of customer advances, partially offset by higher collections of accounts receivable. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $73.4 million and was primarily related to higher receipts of customer advances, timing of accounts payable payments, and net income recognized during the period, partially offset by an increase in inventories and the payment of a legal settlement.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was $301.8 million and was related to the cash received in connection with the sale of Collins and Fire RTC, partially offset by cash paid for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $18.0 million and was primarily related to the cash paid for capital expenditures, partially offset by cash received in connection with the sales of certain assets, the sale of a business within the Specialty Vehicles segment and proceeds from the sale of a Company investment.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was $257.4 million, which primarily consisted of share repurchases of $126.1 million and dividends paid of $188.6 million, partially offset by net proceeds from our 2021 ABL Facility of $65.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $64.8 million, which primarily consisted of payments made on the revolving credit facility of $51.0 million, dividends paid of $9.1 million, and payment of payroll taxes on vested share-based compensation awards of $4.7 million.
Dividends
Subject to legally available funds and the discretion of our board of directors, we expect to pay a quarterly cash dividend at the rate of $0.05 per share on our common stock. For the three months ended July 31, 2024, we paid cash dividends of $3.1 million. For the nine months ended July 31, 2024, we paid cash dividends of $188.6 million, which included a special cash dividend of $178.1 million.
Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations, particularly with respect to liquidity, and we may not pay dividends according to our policy, or at all. We cannot assure that we will declare dividends or have sufficient funds to pay dividends on our common stock in the future.
Share Repurchases
During the three months ended July 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares. During the nine months ended July 31, 2024 the Company repurchased and retired 8,000,000 shares under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program at a cost of $126.1 million and at a price of approximately $15.76 per share, excluding fees and excise taxes.
ABL Facility
On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into the 2021 ABL Facility, a $550.0 million revolving credit agreement, with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 ABL Facility provides for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million. The total credit facility is subject to a $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35.0 million sublimit for letters of credit (plus up to an additional $20.0 million of letters of credit at the issuing bank's discretion), along with certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions as defined in the 2021 ABL Agreement. The 2021 ABL Agreement allows for incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, plus the excess, if any, of the borrowing base then in effect over total commitments then in effect. Any such incremental facilities are subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions. The ABL Facility matures on April 13, 2026. We may prepay principal, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.
24
On November 1, 2022, the Company amended the ABL Facility to transition from the Eurodollar based benchmark rates to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The transition from the Eurodollar rate to SOFR did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. On February 7, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 (the "ABL Facility Amendment") to the 2021 ABL Facility. The ABL Facility Amendment revised the definition of fixed charges under the 2021 ABL Facility to exclude a special cash dividend, which was declared in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 and paid in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.
We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the ABL Agreement as of July 31, 2024. As of July 31, 2024, the Company's availability under the ABL Facility was $261.8 million.
Refer to Note 9, Long-Term Debt, of the Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income
In considering the financial performance of the business, management analyzes the primary financial performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or net loss for the relevant period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, and other items described below that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income or net loss, as adjusted for certain items described below that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are useful to investors because these performance measures are used by our management and the Company's Board of Directors for measuring and reporting the Company's financial performance and as a measurement in incentive compensation for management. These measures exclude the impact of certain items which we believe have less bearing on our core operating performance because they are items that are not needed or available to the Company's managers in the daily activities of their businesses. We believe that the core operations of our business are those which can be affected by our management in a particular period through their resource allocation decisions that affect the underlying performance of our operations conducted during that period. We also believe that decisions utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income allow for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within our markets by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies.
To determine Adjusted EBITDA, we adjust net income or net loss for the following items: non-cash depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes and other items as described below. Stock-based compensation expense and sponsor expense reimbursement are excluded from both Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA because they represent expenses which cannot be impacted by our business managers. Stock-based compensation expense also reflects a cost which may obscure trends in our underlying vehicle businesses for a given period, due to the timing and nature of the equity awards. We also adjust for exceptional items, which are determined to be those that in management's judgment are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance and need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence, and include non-cash items and items settled in cash. In determining whether an event or transaction is exceptional, management considers quantitative as well as qualitative factors such as the frequency or predictability of occurrence.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income have limitations as analytical tools. They are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not measures of financial condition and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or net loss for the period determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is net income or net loss for the relevant period. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, this performance measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, such measures do not reflect:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into or disclosed in our consolidated financial statements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures and capital resources. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. Refer to Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our disclosures of critical accounting policies are reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023.

There have been no material changes in our exposure to interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and commodity price risk from the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on December 13, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures", as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2024.
During the quarter ended July 31, 2024, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
