Camping World Holdings, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

Camping World Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CWH) (“CWH” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Camping World”), America’s Largest Recreational Vehicle Dealer, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Matthew Wagner, Chief Executive Officer and President of CWH stated, “2025 was a pivotal year for our organization. We returned the business to growth, delivering Adjusted EBITDA growth in excess of 35%. We again grew our combined new and used market share to a record level, ending the year at over 13%. We completed an extensive dealership portfolio optimization process, resulting in a more efficient base comprised of nearly 200 locations. Lastly, we executed on our succession plans, and I could not be more honored and excited to build upon our market leading position.”

Mr. Wagner continued, “We are focused on three well defined goals in 2026; new and used unit growth, accelerating Good Sam’s growth, and SG&A cost efficiency. We are using this critical juncture to strengthen our foundation by proactively accelerating our new and used inventory turns, reinvesting in the customer experience across the enterprise, and reprioritizing cash flows to fortify our balance sheet.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $215 million. Total outstanding long-term debt was $1.472 billion. The Company's net debt leverage ratio⁽¹⁾ improved to 5.7x at the end of 2025 compared to 8.1x at the end of 2024. Tom Kirn, Chief Financial Officer of CWH commented, “I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made in 2025 by reducing our net debt leverage by over two turns. To date in 2026, we’ve continued that momentum, paying down an incremental $50 million of long-term debt.”

Dividend Update

CWH historically paid a quarterly cash dividend to holders of Class A common stock. In February 2026, following consideration of forecasted tax distributions, the reduced availability of excess tax distributions to fund dividend payments driven partly by the impact of recent tax law changes, and in consideration of the Company’s focus on reducing net debt leverage, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to pause the regular cash dividend program. The Company’s Board of Directors will monitor changes in the above factors and plans to re-evaluate the future of the dividend program at a later date.

Full Year 2026 Outlook⁽²⁾

Mr. Wagner stated, “Early season RV show momentum underscores our confidence in our ability to outpace broader RV unit industry trends and meaningfully grow our Adjusted EBITDA in 2026. To best position our organization for sustained, multi-year growth, we have implemented strict, corrective inventory management objectives to structurally improve our turnover rates. These actions are expected to result in gross margin headwinds in the first half of 2026, before providing tailwinds in the second half of the year and beyond.”

For 2026, Camping World expects Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $275 million to $325 million. The Company’s outlook takes into account prevailing trends in the RV industry, including consumer interest rate trends, consumer confidence and labor market trends, competitive dynamics, and other key macroeconomic factors that may influence overall demand.

• New vehicle gross margin was 12.3%, a decrease of 291 basis points, driven primarily by the 2.5% increase in the average cost per new vehicle sold and the 0.9% decrease in the average selling price per new vehicle sold. Used vehicle gross margin was 16.0%, a decrease of 277 basis points, primarily due to the 2.5% lower average selling price and the 0.9% increase in the average cost per used vehicle sold, driven in part by accelerated sales of aged used vehicles in December.
• Products, service and other revenue was $160.5 million, a decrease of $21.0 million, or 11.6%, due in part to increased mix of labor towards used reconditioning as used vehicle sales volumes increased, as well as a reduction in appointments for customer pay work. Products, service and other gross margin was 46.4%, an increase of 312 basis points, driven by higher labor billing rates and improved accessory inventory management.
• Gross profit was $338.2 million, a decrease of $38.7 million, or 10.3%, and total gross margin was 28.8%, a decrease of 247 basis points. The gross profit decrease was mainly driven by the $19.3 million lower new vehicle gross profit, $7.6 million of decreased finance and insurance, net (“F&I”) gross profit, $4.1 million of decreased products, service and other gross profit, and $3.5 million of decreased used vehicles gross profit.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $367.3 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.1%. This decrease was primarily driven by a $13.1 million decrease in cash compensation expenses, other than commissions; a $4.3 million decrease in advertising expenses; and a $3.7 million decrease in commissions costs, partially offset by a $15.4 million increase in stock-based compensation (“SBC”) expense and a $3.7 million increase in legal fees and reserves. The increase in SBC expense was primarily from $14.9 million of SBC expense relating to the December 2025 amendment to the employment agreement of our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Marcus Lemonis, which included $6.7 million of SBC expense for accelerated vesting on restricted stock units granted in January 2025. SG&A Excluding SBC⁽³⁾ was $346.6 million, a decrease of $15.9 million, or 4.4%.
• Floor plan interest expense was $19.4 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 13.8%, primarily as a result of increased average floor plan balance, partially offset by lower average interest rates. Other interest expense, net was $29.5 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 8.8%, as a result of lower interest rates and, to a lesser extent, lower principal balances.
• Net loss was $(109.1) million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increased loss of $49.6 million, or 83.3%. Adjusted EBITDA was $(26.2) million, an increased loss of $23.7 million.
• Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock was $(1.07), an increased loss of $0.51, or 91.1%. Adjusted loss per share – diluted⁽³⁾ of Class A common stock was $(0.73), an increased loss of $0.26, or 55.3%.
• The total number of our store locations was 196 as of December 31, 2025, a net decrease of 10 store locations from December 31, 2024, or 4.9%, which included the consolidation of 17 store locations to improve the overall cost efficiency of the remaining store locations.

Used vehicle gross margin was 18.5%, an increase of 14 basis points, primarily due to a 2.2% decrease in the average cost per unit sold, partially offset by the 2.0% lower average selling price.
• Products, service and other revenue was $757.0 million, a decrease of $63.1 million, or 7.7%, primarily due to increased mix of labor towards used reconditioning and away from customer pay and warranty work as used vehicle sales volumes increased, and the divestiture of our RV furniture business in May 2024, which contributed $9.3 million of revenue outside of the RV furniture sold through our store locations. Products, service and other gross margin was 46.9%, an increase of 348 basis points, driven by higher labor billing rates, improved gross margins on our aftermarket parts assortment, and the divestiture of the RV furniture business, which had a negative gross margin for 2024.
• Gross profit was $1.9 billion, an increase of $51.7 million, or 2.8%, and total gross margin was 29.5%, a slight decrease of 45 basis points. The gross profit increase was mainly driven by an additional $68.3 million of used vehicle gross profit resulting from the increase in used vehicle unit sales discussed above and an increase of $39.8 million in F&I gross profit from the 13.6% increase in combined new and used vehicle unit sales and new F&I product offerings, partially offset by a $42.6 million decrease in new vehicle gross profit driven primarily by the 120 basis point decrease in new vehicle gross margin discussed above. The gross margin decrease primarily resulted from the lower average selling price per new vehicle sold that was mostly offset by higher finance and insurance, net revenue that contributes 100.0% gross margin.
• SG&A was $1.6 billion, an increase of $30.1 million, or 1.9%. This increase was primarily driven by a $22.6 million increase in SBC expense; a $12.5 million increase in outside service provider fees related primarily to software expenses and related maintenance expense and an $11.4 million increase in commissions costs, partially offset by a $16.7 million decrease in employee cash compensation costs other than commissions. The increase in SBC expense was primarily from $14.9 million of SBC expense relating to the December 2025 amendment to the employment agreement of our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Marcus Lemonis, which included $6.7 million of SBC expense for accelerated vesting on restricted stock units granted in January 2025, and $13.1 million of other SBC expense for unmodified restricted stock units and performance stock units granted to Mr. Lemonis in January 2025. SG&A Excluding SBC⁽³⁾ was $1.6 billion, an increase of $7.5 million, or 0.5%.
• Floor plan interest expense was $76.8 million, a decrease of $18.3 million, or 19.3%, primarily as a result of lower average interest rates. Other interest expense, net was $121.8 million, a decrease of $18.6 million, or 13.2%, as a result of lower interest rates and, to a lesser extent, lower principal balances.
• The Company evaluated both positive and negative evidence and concluded that a full valuation allowance was necessary for the deferred tax assets of the public holding company, CWH, due to its cumulative historical operating results for income tax purposes over the past several years in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. This valuation allowance resulted in a charge to income tax expense of $182.8 million. Additionally, an adjustment to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability for the change in the determination of the realizability of tax benefits underlying the estimate of future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement was recorded for $149.0 million with an additional $37.3 million recorded to income tax expense for the associated revaluation of the deferred tax assets relating to the change in the balance of Tax Receivable Agreement liability.
• Net loss was $(105.6) million, an increased loss of $26.8 million, or 33.9%. Adjusted EBITDA was $242.9 million, an increase of $64.1 million, or 35.8%.
• Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock was $(1.43), an increased loss of $0.63, or 78.8%. Adjusted earnings per share – diluted⁽³⁾ of Class A common stock was $0.19, an increase of $0.59.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted loss per share of Class A common stock (unaudited):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic; Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted; Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic; Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted; SG&A Excluding SBC; and Net Debt (collectively the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"). We believe that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics we use in our financial and operational decision making. Certain of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry and are used by management to evaluate our operating performance, to evaluate the effectiveness of strategic initiatives and for planning purposes. By providing these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. In addition, our Senior Secured Credit Facilities use Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt, as calculated for our subsidiary CWGS Group, LLC, to measure our compliance with covenants such as the consolidated leverage ratio. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by any items adjusted for in these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In evaluating these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, it is reasonable to expect that certain of these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this section and in the reconciliation tables below help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

Our earnings call on February 25, 2026 may present guidance that includes Adjusted EBITDA. A full reconciliation of the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to its most-directly comparable GAAP metric cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliations.

The Non-GAAP Financial Measures that we use are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define “EBITDA” as net loss before other interest expense, net (excluding floor plan interest expense), provision for income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of certain noncash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, gains and losses on lease termination and/or remeasurement, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, SBC, modification expense relating to Marcus A. Lemonis’ second amended and restated employment agreement, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, losses and gains and/or impairment on investments in equity securities, and other unusual or one-time items. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measures (unaudited):

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share

We define “Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic” as net loss attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the impact of certain noncash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, gains and losses on lease termination and/or remeasurement, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, SBC, modification expense relating to Marcus A. Lemonis’ second amended and restated employment agreement, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, loss and/or impairment on investments in equity securities, other unusual or one-time items, the income tax (expense) benefit effect of these adjustments, income tax expense impact from the significant change in valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and the effect of net loss attributable to non-controlling interests from these adjustments.

We define “Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted” as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic adjusted for the reallocation of net loss attributable to non-controlling interests from stock options and restricted stock units, if dilutive, or the assumed redemption, if dilutive, of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for shares of newly-issued Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc.

We define “Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic” as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. - Basic divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. We define “Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted” as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (i) the redemption of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc., if dilutive, and (ii) the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units, if any. We present Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings Per Share – Diluted to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure:
