Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2022

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Camping World Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been reflected. All intercompany accounts and transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

CWH was formed on March 8, 2016 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of facilitating an IPO and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of CWGS, LLC. CWGS, LLC was formed in March 2011 when it received, through contribution from its then parent company, all of the membership interests of Affinity Group Holding, LLC and FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC (“FreedomRoads”). The IPO and related reorganization transactions that occurred on October 6, 2016 resulted in CWH becoming the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, with CWH having sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity). CWH’s position as sole managing member of CWGS, LLC includes periods where CWH held a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, CWH owned 49.8% and 51.2%, respectively, of CWGS, LLC. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial results of CWGS, LLC and reports a non-controlling interest in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within its condensed consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

COVID-19

Within a few months of the initial significant outbreaks of COVID-19 in the U.S., the Company experienced elevated demand for recreational vehicles (“RV”) and many of its related products and services. The Company believes that consumers view RVs as a safer alternative to many other travel and recreational activities, in addition to an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors after many consumers spent much of their time at home during portions of the pandemic. The Company believes this led to an introduction of many new customers to the RV lifestyle and a greater appreciation of outdoor activities. For much of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand and interest in new and used vehicles outpaced vehicle supply. Beginning in September 2021, the Company was able to procure more new vehicles from its suppliers than were sold.

During the height of the pandemic, and related government orders directing non-essential business closures or reductions, the majority of the Company’s retail locations continued to operate as essential businesses Historically, most of the Company’s consumer shows and events take place during the first quarter. As a consequence of COVID-19, the Company held one in-person consumer show in 2021, compared to 37 in-

person consumer shows held prior to the pandemic in 2019, and plans to hold fewer than five in-person consumer shows in 2022. The Company has implemented preparedness plans consistent with government directives to keep its employees and customers safe. As case counts have risen and receded over the course of the pandemic, the Company has adjusted remote work and office schedules accordingly.

Cybersecurity Incident

The Company relies on the integrity, security and successful functioning of its information technology systems and network infrastructure (collectively, “IT Systems”) across its operations. In February 2022, the Company announced that it had experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the encryption of certain IT Systems and theft of certain data and information (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). The Cybersecurity Incident resulted in the Company’s temporary inability to access certain of its IT Systems, caused by the disabling of some of its IT Systems by the threat actor and the Company temporarily taking certain other IT Systems offline as a precautionary measure. The Company engaged leading outside forensics and cybersecurity experts, launched containment and remediation efforts and a forensic investigation. The forensic investigation is now complete and the Company has restored and is taking measures to enhance its IT Systems. The Company is continuing to evaluate the full scope and content of its lost or stolen data but believes that certain personal information was stolen. The Company will assess and comply with any notification requirements to the extent applicable under federal or state law. The Company also is continuing to coordinate with law enforcement.

The Company has incurred costs related to investigation, containment, and remediation and expects to continue to incur incremental costs for the investigation and remediation of the Cybersecurity Incident, including legal and other professional fees, and investments to enhance the security of its IT Systems. Other actual and potential consequences include, but are not limited to, negative publicity, reputational damage, lost trust with customers, regulatory enforcement action, and litigation that could result in financial judgments or the payment of settlement amounts and disputes with insurance carriers concerning coverage. The Company does not expect that the Cybersecurity Incident will cause future disruptions to its business and, based on the information currently known, the Company does not believe that the Cybersecurity Incident will have a material impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company, however, has not yet been able to estimate all incremental costs resulting from the Cybersecurity Incident, which may exceed insurance policy limits, and therefore no assurances can be given as the Company continues to assess the full impact from the Cybersecurity Incident.

Description of the Business

Camping World Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is America’s largest retailer of RVs and related products and services. As noted above, CWGS, LLC is a holding company and operates through its subsidiaries. The Company has the following two reportable segments: (i) Good Sam Services and Plans and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. See Note 18 – Segments Information to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about the Company’s segments. Within the Good Sam Services and Plans segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of the following offerings: emergency roadside assistance plans; property and casualty insurance programs; travel assist programs; extended vehicle service contracts; vehicle financing and refinancing assistance; consumer shows and events; and consumer publications and directories. Within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of new and used RVs; commissions on the finance and insurance contracts related to the sale of RVs; the sale of RV service and collision work; the sale of RV parts, accessories, and supplies; the sale of outdoor products, equipment, gear and supplies; business to business distribution of RV furniture; and the sale of Good Sam Club memberships and co-branded credit cards. The Company operates a national network of RV dealerships and service centers as well as a comprehensive e-commerce platform primarily under the Camping World brand, and markets its products and services primarily to RV and outdoor enthusiasts.

In 2019, the Company made a strategic decision to refocus its business around its core RV competencies, and on September 3, 2019, the board of directors approved a strategic plan to shift the business away from locations that did not have the ability or where it was not feasible to sell and/or service RVs (the “2019 Strategic Shift”) (see Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment).

Reclassifications of Prior Period Amounts

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the equity-based compensation and non-controlling interest adjustment line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders' equity have been reclassified to present the equity-based compensation allocated to the non-controlling interest in the non-controlling interest column with an offsetting reclassification to the non-controlling interest adjustment line item.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, including those uncertainties arising from COVID-19, and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company periodically evaluates estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements and makes changes on a prospective basis when adjustments are necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include certain assumptions related to accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, long lived assets, long-lived asset impairments, program cancellation reserves, chargebacks, accruals related to estimated tax liabilities, product return reserves, and other liabilities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). This standard requires contract assets and contract liabilities, such as certain receivables and deferred revenue, acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree instead of recording those balances at fair value. This standard should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring after the effective date. The standard will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2021-08 as of January 1, 2022 and the adoption did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

Substantially all of the Company’s new RV inventory and certain of its used RV inventory, included in the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, is financed by a floor plan credit agreement with a syndication of banks. The borrowings under the floor plan credit agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of FreedomRoads, LLC (“FR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FreedomRoads, which operates the RV dealerships. The floor plan borrowings are tied to specific vehicles and principal is due upon the sale of the related vehicle or upon reaching certain aging criteria.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FR maintained floor plan financing through the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Floor Plan Facility”). The Floor Plan Facility at March 31, 2022 allowed FR to borrow (a) up to $1.70 billion under a floor plan facility, (b) up to $30.0 million under a letter of credit facility and (c) up to a maximum amount outstanding of $70.0 million under the revolving line of credit. The Floor Plan Facility also includes an accordion feature allowing FR, at its option, to increase the aggregate amount of the floor plan notes payable in $50 million increments up to a maximum amount of $200 million. The lenders under the Floor Plan Facility are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase. The maturity date of the Floor Plan Facility is September 30, 2026.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the applicable interest rate for the floor plan notes payable under the Floor Plan Facility was 2.18% and 1.96%, respectively. Under the Floor Plan Facility, at the Company’s option, the floor plan notes payable, and borrowings for letters of credit, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the floating Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) plus the

13

Table of Contents

applicable rate of 1.90% to 2.50% determined based on FR’s consolidated current ratio, or, the base rate (as described below) plus the applicable rate of 0.40% to 1.00% determined based on FR’s consolidated current ratio.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the applicable interest rate for revolving line of credit borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility was 2.38% and 2.31%, respectively. Under the Floor Plan Facility, revolving line of credit borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either: (a) a floating BSBY rate, plus 2.25%, in the case of floating BSBY rate loans, or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of: (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate published by Bank of America, N.A. and (iii) the floating BSBY rate plus 1.75%, plus 0.75%, in the case of base rate loans. Additionally, under the Floor Plan Facility, the revolving line of credit borrowings are limited by a borrowing base calculation.

The Floor Plan Facility includes a flooring line aggregate interest reduction (“FLAIR”) offset account that allows the Company to transfer cash as an offset to the payables under the Floor Plan Facility. These transfers reduce the amount of liability outstanding under the floor plan borrowings that would otherwise accrue interest, while retaining the ability to withdraw amounts from the FLAIR offset account subject to the financial covenants under the Floor Plan Facility. As a result of using the FLAIR offset account, the Company experiences a reduction in floor plan interest expense in its consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FR had $152.6 million and $92.1 million, respectively, in the FLAIR offset account. The maximum FLAIR percentage of outstanding floor plan borrowings is 35% under the Floor Plan Facility.

Management has determined that the credit agreements governing the Floor Plan Facility include subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management has determined that no events have occurred at March 31, 2022 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause. Additionally, the credit agreements governing the Floor Plan Facility contain certain financial covenants. FR was in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The following table details the outstanding amounts and available borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

4. Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Restructuring

On September 3, 2019, the board of directors of CWH approved a plan to strategically shift its business away from locations where the Company does not have the ability or where it is not feasible to sell and/or service RVs at a sufficient capacity (the “Outdoor Lifestyle Locations”). Of the Outdoor Lifestyle Locations in the RV and Outdoor Retail segment operating at September 3, 2019, the Company has closed or divested 39 Outdoor Lifestyle Locations, three distribution centers, and 20 specialty retail locations relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. One of the aforementioned closed distribution centers was reopened during the three months ended June 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had completed the store closures and divestitures relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. As part of the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company evaluated the impact on its supporting infrastructure and operations, which included rationalizing inventory levels and composition, closing certain distribution centers, and realigning other resources. The Company had a reduction of headcount and labor costs for those locations that were closed or divested, and the Company incurred material charges associated with the activities contemplated under the 2019 Strategic Shift.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed its analysis of its retail product offerings that are not RV related. The information available at the inception of the 2019 Strategic Shift relating to these product categories was incomplete based on the relative immaturity of the locations offering these products and was further delayed by the impact of COVID-19 on consumer buying behavior (see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19).

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had effectively finalized its 2019 Strategic Shift as it relates to closing locations, one-time termination benefits, and incremental reserve charges. The remaining potential ongoing charges under the 2019 Strategic Shift relate to lease termination costs and other associated costs relating to the leases of previously closed locations under the 2019 Strategic Shift. The process of identifying subtenants and negotiating lease terminations has been delayed in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to continue. The timing of these negotiations will vary as both subleases and terminations are contingent on landlord approvals.

The Company currently estimates the total restructuring costs associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift to be in the range of $113.6 million to $133.6 million. The breakdown of the estimated restructuring costs are as follows:

one-time employee termination benefits relating to retail store or distribution center closures/divestitures of $1.2 million, all of which were incurred through December 31, 2020;
lease termination costs of $19.0 million to $34.0 million, of which $14.1 million has been incurred through March 31, 2022;
incremental inventory reserve charges of $57.4 million, all of which were incurred through December 31, 2021; and
other associated costs of $36.0 million to $41.0 million, of which $33.9 million has been incurred through March 31, 2022.

Through March 31, 2022, the Company has incurred $33.9 million of such other associated costs primarily representing labor, lease, and other operating expenses incurred during the post-close wind-down period for the locations related to the 2019 Strategic Shift. The additional amount of $2.1 million to $7.1 million represents similar costs that may be incurred through the year ending December 31, 2022 for locations that continue in a wind-down period, primarily comprised of lease costs accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, prior to lease termination. The Company intends to negotiate terminations of these leases where prudent and pursue sublease arrangements for the remaining leases. Lease costs may continue to be incurred after December 31, 2022 on these leases if the Company is unable to terminate the leases under acceptable terms or offset the lease costs through sublease arrangements. The foregoing lease termination cost estimate represents the

expected cash payments to terminate certain leases but does not include the gain or loss from derecognition of the related operating lease assets and liabilities, which is dependent on the particular leases that will be terminated.

The Company evaluated the requirements of ASC No. 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations relative to the 2019 Strategic Shift and determined that discontinued operations treatment is not applicable. Accordingly, the results of operations of the locations impacted by the 2019 Strategic Shift are reported as part of continuing operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had no indicators of impairment of long-lived assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had indicators of impairment of the long-lived assets for certain of its closed locations relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. As a result of updating certain assumptions in the long-lived asset impairment analysis for these closed locations, the Company determined that the fair value of the operating lease right-of-use assets were below their carrying value and were impaired. The long-lived asset impairment charge was calculated as the amount that the carrying value of the closed locations exceeded the estimated fair value, except that individual assets cannot be impaired below their individual fair values when that fair value can be determined without undue cost and effort. For

16

these locations, the operating lease right-of-use assets were written down to their individual fair values with an impairment charge of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and there were no other long-lived assets at those closed locations to allocate the remaining impairment charge.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, was party to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of a $1.4 billion term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The funds available under the Revolving Credit Facility may be utilized for borrowings or letters of credit; however, a maximum of $25.0 million may be allocated to such letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in June 2026 and the Term Loan Facility matures in June 2028. The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory principal payments in equal quarterly installments of $3.5 million. Additionally, the Company is required to prepay the term loan borrowings in an aggregate amount up to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for such fiscal year depending on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined by the Credit Agreement) beginning with the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company was not required to make an additional excess cash flow payment relating to 2021 and does not expect that an additional excess cash flow payment will be required relating to 2022.

Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company has the ability to increase the amount of term loans or revolving loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (a) a “fixed” amount set at $725.0 million and (b) 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters on a pro forma basis (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries with the exception of FreedomRoads Intermediate Holdco, LLC, the direct parent of FR, and FR, and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants pertaining to, but not limited to, mergers, changes in the nature of the business, acquisitions, additional indebtedness, sales of assets, investments, and the payment of dividends subject to certain limitations and minimum operating covenants. Additionally, management has determined that the Senior Secured Credit Facilities include subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management has determined that no events have occurred at March 31, 2022 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause.

The Credit Agreement requires the Borrower and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which covenant is in effect only if, as of the end of each calendar quarter, the aggregate amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility (including swingline loans), letters of credit and unreimbursed letter of credit disbursements outstanding at such time is greater than 35% of the total commitment on the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding (i) up to $15.0 million attributable to any outstanding undrawn letters of credit and (ii) any cash collateralized or backstopped letters of credit), as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 35% threshold. The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Real Estate Facilities

In November 2018, September 2021 and December 2021, Camping World Property, Inc. (the ‘‘Real Estate Borrower’’), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, and CIBC Bank USA (“Lender”), entered into loan and security agreements for real estate credit facilities (as amended from time to time, the “First Real Estate Facility”, the “Second Real Estate Facility”, and the “Third Real Estate Facility”, respectively, and collectively the “Real Estate Facilities”) with aggregate maximum principal capacities of $21.5 million, $9.0 million, and $10.1 million for the First Real Estate Facility, Second Real Estate Facility, and Third Real Estate Facility, respectively.

Borrowings under the Real Estate Facilities are guaranteed by CWGS Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC. The Real Estate Facilities may be used to finance the acquisition of real estate assets. The Real Estate Facilities are secured by a first priority security interest on the real estate assets acquired with the proceeds of the Real Estate Facilities (“Real Estate Facility Properties”). The First Real Estate Facility, Second Real Estate Facility, and Third Real Estate Facility mature in October 2023, September 2026, and December 2026, respectively.

19

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2022, the First Real Estate Facility, Second Real Estate Facility, and the Third Real Estate Facility had outstanding principal balances of $4.1 million and $8.4 million, and $9.9 million, respectively, net of unamortized finance costs, and a weighted average interest rate of 2.91%. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no available capacity under the Real Estate Facilities, since repaid amounts cannot be reborrowed under the Real Estate Facilities.

Management has determined that the credit agreements governing the Real Estate Facilities include subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management has determined that no events have occurred at March 31, 2022 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause. Additionally, the Real Estate Facilities are subject to certain cross default provisions, a debt service coverage ratio, and other customary covenants. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Other Long-Term Debt

In December 2021, FRHP Lincolnshire, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, assumed a mortgage as part of a real estate acquisition. This mortgage is secured by the acquired property and is guaranteed by CWGS Group, LC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage was $3.4 million with an interest rate of 3.50%. The mortgage matures in December 2026.

Sale-Leaseback Arrangement

On February 8, 2022, FRHP Lincolnshire, LLC sold three properties for a total sale price of $28.0 million. Concurrent with the sale of these properties, the Company entered into three separate twenty-year

20

Table of Contents

lease agreements, whereby the Company will lease back the properties from the acquiring company. Under each lease agreement, FR has four consecutive options to extend the lease term for additional periods of five years for each option. This transaction is accounted for as a financing transaction. The Company recorded a liability for the amount received, will continue to depreciate the non-land portion of the assets, and has imputed an interest rate so that the net carrying amount of the financial liability and remaining assets will be zero at the end of the initial lease terms. The financial liability is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels and there were no material re-measurements to fair value during 2022 and 2021 of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table presents the reported carrying value and fair value information for the Company’s debt instruments. The fair values shown below for the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, are based on quoted prices in the inactive market for identical assets (Level 2), and the fair values shown below for the Floor Plan Facility, the Revolving Line of Credit, and the Real Estate Facilities are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available based on similar financial instruments.

Litigation

On October 19, 2018, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Ronge v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against us, certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C (the “Ronge Complaint”). On August 5, 2020, the Court granted final approval of the class action settlement and the case was dismissed with prejudice.  The deadline to object to or appeal the settlement has passed. The Court entered the Order Authorizing Distribution of Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants and Related Relief (“Distribution Order”) on April 12, 2022.  Upon expiration of the thirty-day period to appeal the Distribution Order, the claims administrator will begin distribution of the funds.

On March 5, 2019, a shareholder derivative suit styled Hunnewell v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty for alleged failure to implement effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting and to properly oversee certain acquisitions and for alleged insider trading (the “Hunnewell Complaint”).

On April 17, 2019, a shareholder derivative suit styled Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty for alleged failure to implement effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial

reporting and to properly oversee certain acquisitions and for alleged insider trading and unjust enrichment for compensation received during that time (the “LPPF Complaint”). The LPPF Complaint names the Company as nominal defendant, and names certain of the Company’s officers and directors, among others, as defendants and seeks compensatory damages, extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief, restitution and disgorgement, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper. On May 30, 2019, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to consolidate the Hunnewell and LPPF Complaints (as well as any future filed actions relating to the subject matter). On January 31, 2022, the Court granted in full Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint with prejudice. On February 14, 2022, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal, appealing the Court’s order dismissing the Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs’ appeal is expected to be fully briefed on or before May 17, 2022.

On August 6, 2019, two shareholder derivative suits, styled Janssen v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., and Sandler v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Both actions name the Company as a nominal defendant, and name certain of the Company’s officers and directors, Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. as defendants, and allege: (i) violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act for issuing proxy statements that allegedly omitted material information and allegedly included materially false and misleading financial statements; (ii) violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, seeking contribution for causing the Company to issue allegedly false and misleading statements and/or allegedly omit material information in public statements and/or the Company’s filings concerning the Company’s financial performance, the effectiveness of internal controls to ensure accurate financial reporting, and the success and profitability of the integration and rollout of Gander Outdoors (now Gander RV) stores; (iii) breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement for allegedly causing or allowing the Company to disseminate to Camping World shareholders materially misleading and inaccurate information through the Company’s SEC filings; and (iv) breach of fiduciary duties for alleged insider selling and misappropriation of information (together, the “Janssen and Sandler Complaints”). The Janssen and Sandler Complaints seek restitutionary and/or compensatory damages, injunctive relief, disgorgement of all profits, benefits, and other compensation obtained by certain of the Company’s officers and directors, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper. The case is stayed while the parties confer regarding the schedule for further proceedings in the action.

On June 22, 2021, FreedomRoads filed a one-count complaint captioned FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC v. Steve Weissmann in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against Steve Weissmann (“Weissmann”) for breach of contractual obligation under note guarantee (the “Note”). On October 8, 2021, Weissmann brought a counterclaim against FreedomRoads and Third-Party Defendants Marcus Lemonis, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, the Consumer National Broadcasting Company, CWH, and Machete Productions (“Machete”) (the “Weissmann Counterclaim”), in which he alleges claims in connection with the Note and his appearance on the reality television show The Profit. Weissmann alleges the following causes of action against FreedomRoads and all third-party defendants, including CWH: (i) fraud; (ii) fraud in the inducement; (iii) fraudulent concealment; (iv) breach of fiduciary duty; (v) defamation; (vi) defamation per se; (vii) false light; (viii) intentional infliction of emotional distress; (ix) negligence; (v) unjust enrichment; and (vi) RICO § 1962. Weissmann seeks costs and damages in an amount to be proven at trial but no less than the amount in the Note (approximately $2.5 million); in connection with his RICO claim, Weissmann asserts he is entitled to damages in the amount of three times the Note. On February 18, 2022, NBCUniversal, CNBC, and Machete filed a motion to compel arbitration (the “NBC Arbitration Motion”) which was joined by all defendants, including FreedomRoads, Marcus Lemonis, and Camping World, Inc. As of April 11, 2022, the NBC Arbitration Motion has been fully briefed.

On November 10, 2021, Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, Inc. filed a complaint regarding FreedomRoads, Marcus Lemonis, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, CWH, and Machete Productions in which Tumbleweed alleges claims in connection with the Note and its appearance on the reality television show The Profit. Tumbleweed alleges the following claims against the defendants, including FreedomRoads and CWH: (i) fraud; (ii) false promise; (iii) breach of fiduciary duty (and aiding and abetting the same); (iv) breach of contract; (v) breach of oral contract; (vi) tortious interference with prospective economic advantage; (vii) fraud in the inducement; (viii) negligent misrepresentation; (ix) fraudulent concealment; (x) conspiracy; (xi) unlawful business practices; (xii) defamation; and (xiii) declaratory judgment. On April 21, 2022, the Court granted a

motion to compel arbitration filed by NBCUniversal and joined by all defendants, including FreedomRoads, CWH, and Marcus Lemonis.

No assurance can be made that these or similar suits will not result in a material financial exposure in excess of insurance coverage, which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, the Company is involved in other litigation arising in the normal course of business operations.

Financial Assurances

In the normal course of business, the Company obtains standby letters of credit and surety bonds from financial institutions and other third parties. These instruments guarantee the Company’s own future performance and provide third parties with financial and performance assurance in the event that the Company does not perform. These instruments support a wide variety of the Company’s business activities. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, outstanding standby letters of credit issued through our Floor Plan Facility were $11.5 million and $11.5 million, respectively, and outstanding standby letters of credit issued through the Senior Secured Credit Facilities were $4.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively (see Note 4 — Inventories and Floor Plan Payables and Note 9 — Long-Term Debt). As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, outstanding surety bonds were $19.9 million and $19.1 million, respectively. The underlying liabilities insured by these instruments are reflected on the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets, where applicable. Therefore, no additional liability is reflected for the letters of credit and surety bonds themselves.

11. Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, subsidiaries of the Company acquired the assets of multiple RV dealerships that constituted businesses under accounting rules. The Company used cash to complete the acquisitions. The Company considers acquisitions of independent dealerships to be a fast and capital efficient alternative to opening new retail locations to expand its business and grow its customer base. The acquired businesses were recorded at their estimated fair values under the acquisition method of accounting. The balance of the purchase prices in excess of the fair values of net assets acquired were recorded as goodwill.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of various RV dealerships comprised of two locations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $34.8 million plus real property of $12.1 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of various RV dealerships comprised of three locations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.4 million plus real property of $6.7 million. One of these acquired locations opened after March 31, 2021 once facility improvements were completed.

The fair values above for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are preliminary as they are subject to measurement period adjustments for up to one year from the date of acquisition as new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date relating to the valuation of the acquired assets, primarily the acquired inventories. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the fair values above represent measurement period adjustments for valuation of acquired inventories relating to dealership acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2021. The primary items that generated the goodwill are the value of the expected synergies between the acquired businesses and the Company and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualify for recognition as a separately identified intangible asset. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, acquired goodwill of $23.3 million and $7.0 million, respectively, is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Included in the three months ended March 31, 2022 condensed consolidated financial results were $4.9 million of revenue, and $0.3 million of pre-tax income, respectively of the acquired dealerships from the applicable acquisition dates. Included in the three months ended March 31, 2021 condensed consolidated financial results were $0.01 million of revenue, and $0.2 million of pre-tax loss, respectively of the acquired dealerships from the applicable acquisition dates. Pro forma information on these acquisitions has not been included, because the Company has deemed them to not be individually or cumulatively material.

12. Income Taxes

CWH is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, as of March 31, 2022, is a 49.8% owner of CWGS, LLC (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity and Note 15 — Non-Controlling Interests). CWGS, LLC is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and as such, is generally not subject to any U.S. federal entity-level income taxes with the exception of Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc., Camping World, Inc. (“CW”), and FreedomRoads RV, Inc. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are Subchapter C corporations.

As further described in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of income tax and payroll tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no material tax impacts to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as it relates to COVID-19 measures other than the deferral of non-income-based payroll taxes under the CARES Act of $14.6 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 which

24

Table of Contents

were included in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will continue to monitor additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and others. Furthermore, on March 11, 2021 the American Rescue Plan Act, a $1.9 trillion tax-and-spending package aimed at addressing the continuing economic and health impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, was enacted. The American Rescue Plan Act provisions do not have a material impact on the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rate.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company's effective income tax rate was 16.4%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies, which are not subject to corporate level taxes, net of income tax benefits of $0.7 million related to current state combined unitary losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 1.4% due to a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies, which are not subject to corporate level taxes and income tax benefits of $14.9 million recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets at CW that can now be included in state combined unitary income tax returns and $4.1 million for the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of increased state tax rates. Also for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reduced its deferred tax asset by $9.4 million relating to CWH’s investment in CWGS, LLC for the change in ownership of CWGS, LLC from the treasury stock repurchase of 2.6 million shares of Class A common stock (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity). These treasury stock repurchases result in a commensurate reduction in common units in CWGS, LLC held by CWH.

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine if they can be realized and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company determined that all of its deferred tax assets (except those of CW and the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset discussed below) are more likely than not to be realized. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of CW, excluding certain state deferred tax assets included in the state combined unitary income tax returns, since it was determined that it is more likely than not, based on available objective evidence, that CW would have insufficient taxable income in the current or carryforward periods under the tax laws to realize the future tax benefits for this portion of its deferred tax assets. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset pertaining to the portion that is not amortizable for tax purposes, since the Company would likely only realize the non-amortizable portion of the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset if the investment in CWGS, LLC was divested.

The Company is party to the Tax Receivable Agreement that provides for the payment by the Company to the Continuing Equity Owners and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, the Company actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis from the purchase of common units from Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. in exchange for Class A common stock in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the related transactions and any future redemptions that are funded by the Company and any future redemptions or exchanges of common units by Continuing Equity Owners as described above and (ii) certain other tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 50,000 and 3,029,328 common units in CWGS, LLC, respectively, were exchanged for Class A common stock subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement payments due to those parties that redeemed common units, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits the Company expects to realize from the tax basis increases related to the exchange, after concluding it was probable that the Tax Receivable Agreement payments would be paid based on estimates of future taxable income. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of Tax Receivable Agreement payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $182.8 million and $182.4 million, respectively, of which $11.3 million at each of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was included in the current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Tax Receivable Agreement liability and the related Deferred Tax Assets for the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and the investment in CWGS, LLC increased $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as a result of a Continuing Equity Owner’s redemption of 50,000 common units in CWGS, LLC for 50,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and were recorded

25

Table of Contents

to additional paid-in capital (see the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity). Payments pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement relating to this redemption would begin during the year ending December 31, 2023.

The Tax Receivable Agreement liability and the related Deferred Tax Assets for the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and the investment in CWGS, LLC increased $26.1 million and $30.7 million, respectively, as a result of Continuing Equity Owner’s, primarily Crestview Partners II GP, L.P., combined redemption of 3.0 million common units in CWGS, LLC for 3.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and were recorded to additional paid-in capital (see the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity). Payments pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement relating to these redemptions began during the year ending December 31, 2022.

13. Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Directors, Equity Holders and Executive Officers

FreedomRoads leases various retail locations from managers and officers. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the related party lease expense for these locations were $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

In January 2012, FreedomRoads entered into a lease for the offices in Lincolnshire, Illinois, which was amended in March 2013 and November 2019 (the “Lincolnshire Lease”). For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, rental payments for the Lincolnshire Lease, including common area maintenance charges, were each $0.2 million. The Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has personally guaranteed the Lincolnshire Lease.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an expense reimbursement payable to Mr. Lemonis of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, relating primarily to advertising expenses for the Company that were processed through Mr. Lemonis’ social media accounts.

Other Transactions

The Company does business with certain companies in which Mr. Lemonis has a direct or indirect material interest. The Company purchased fixtures for interior store sets at the Company’s retail locations from Precise Graphix. Mr. Lemonis has had a 67% economic interest in Precise Graphix, which is currently in dispute. The Company is not a party to the dispute. The Company received refunds from Precise Graphix totaling $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The Company paid Kaplan, Strangis and Kaplan, P.A., of which Andris A. Baltins is a member, and a member of the Company’s board of directors, $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for legal services.

14. Stockholders’ Equity

CWH has authorized preferred stock and three classes of common stock. The Class A common stock entitles the holders to receive dividends; distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company; and have voting rights. The Class B common stock and Class C common stock entitles the holders to voting rights, which in certain cases are disproportionate to the voting rights of the Class A common stock; however, the holders of Class B common stock and Class C common stock are not entitled to receive dividends or distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company.

CWH is the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and CWH has had and continues to have the sole voting power in, and controls the management of, CWGS, LLC. CWH’s position as sole managing member of CWGS, LLC includes periods where CWH held a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of CWGS, LLC and reported a non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In accordance with the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of CWGS, LLC (the “LLC Agreement”), the Continuing Equity Owners with common units in CWGS, LLC may elect to exchange or redeem the common units for newly-issued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or cash at the Company’s election, subject to certain restrictions. If the redeeming or exchanging party also holds Class B common stock, then simultaneously with the payment of cash or newly-issued shares of Class A common stock, as applicable, in connection with a redemption or exchange of common units, a number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock will be cancelled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of common units so redeemed or exchanged. As required by the LLC Agreement, the Company must, at all times, maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of common units of CWGS, LLC owned by CWH (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities).

Stock Repurchase Program

In October 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors initially authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock, expiring on October 31, 2022. In August 2021 and January 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized increases to the stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an additional $125.0 million and $152.7 million, respectively, of the Company’s Class A common stock and extended the stock repurchase program to expire on August 31, 2023 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Repurchases under the program are subject to any applicable limitations on the availability of funds to be distributed to the Company by CWGS, LLC to fund repurchases and may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at the Company’s discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Board’s discretion. The Company expects to fund the repurchases using cash on hand.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 2,592,524 shares of Class A common stock under this program for approximately $79.8 million, including commissions paid, at a weighted average price per share of $30.76, which is recorded as treasury stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Class A common stock held as treasury stock is not considered outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reissued 99,907 shares of Class A common stock from treasury stock to settle the exercises of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining approved amount for repurchases of Class A common stock under the share repurchase program was approximately $120.2 million.

15. Non-Controlling Interests

As described in Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity, CWH is the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of CWGS, LLC. The Company reports a non-controlling interest representing the common units of CWGS, LLC held by Continuing Equity Owners. Changes in CWH’s ownership interest in CWGS, LLC while CWH retains its controlling interest in CWGS, LLC will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of common units of CWGS, LLC by the Continuing Equity Owners will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when CWGS, LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. At the end of each period, the Company will record a non-controlling interest adjustment to additional paid-in capital such that the non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is equal to the non-controlling interest’s ownership share of the underlying CWGS, LLC net assets (see the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity).

17. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available 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 earnings per share of Class A common stock:

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report, Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q and in other parts of this Form 10-Q. Except to the extent that differences among reportable segments are material to an understanding of our business taken as a whole, we present the discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on a consolidated basis.

For purposes of this Form 10-Q, we define an "Active Customer" as a customer who has transacted with us in any of the eight most recently completed fiscal quarters prior to the date of measurement. Unless otherwise indicated, the date of measurement is March 31, 2022, our most recently completed fiscal quarter.

Overview

Camping World Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is America’s largest retailer of recreational RVs and related products and services. Our vision is to build a long-term legacy business that makes RVing fun and easy, and our Camping World and Good Sam brands have been serving RV consumers since 1966. We strive to build long-term value for our customers, employees, and shareholders by combining a unique and comprehensive assortment of RV products and services with a national network of RV dealerships, service centers and customer support centers along with the industry’s most extensive online presence and a highly-trained and knowledgeable team of associates serving our customers, the RV lifestyle, and the communities in which we operate. We also believe that our Good Sam organization and family of programs and services uniquely enables us to connect with our customers as stewards of the RV lifestyle. On March 31, 2022, we operated a total of 190 retail locations, with 189 of these selling and/or servicing RVs. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

We announced a number of initiatives heading into 2022, including an online RV sales process, service bay expansion, the addition of design centers to our existing store footprint, and continued expansion through dealership acquisitions. We have also announced a number of land acquisitions in anticipation of constructing new stores. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” elsewhere in this Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the expected cash requirements in 2022 for new dealership locations. We expect the cash requirements of the other announced initiatives to be in the range of $25.0 million to $50.0 million.

Good Sam Rentals, which is a peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace that can be accessed at RVRentals.com, was launched during the third quarter of 2021 and the financial results and cash needs to date were immaterial. Our previously announced mobile RV technician marketplace is expected to launch in 2022, with nominal further investment.

Segments

We have the following two reportable segments: (i) Good Sam Services and Plans, and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. See Note 18 — Segment Information to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

COVID-19

As discussed in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a primarily favorable impact on our business beginning in May 2020.

Within a few months of the initial significant outbreaks of COVID-19 in the U.S., we experienced elevated demand for RVs and many of our related products and services. We believe that consumers view RVs as a safer alternative to many other travel and recreational activities, in addition to an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors after many consumers spent much of their time at home during portions of the pandemic. We believe this has led to an introduction of many new customers to the RV lifestyle and a greater appreciation of outdoor activities. For much of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand and interest in new and used vehicles outpaced vehicle supply. Beginning in September 2021, we were able to procure more new vehicles from our suppliers than were sold.

We have been implementing marketing and operational plans to optimize our leadership position through the pandemic. We have adapted our sales practices to accommodate customers’ safety concerns in this COVID-19 environment, such as offering virtual tours of RVs and providing home delivery options. Historically, most of our consumer shows and events took place during the first quarter. As a consequence of COVID-19, we held one in-person consumer show in 2021, compared to 37 in-person consumer shows held prior to the pandemic in 2019, and we plan to hold fewer than five in-person consumer shows in 2022. We have held several of our virtual RV Show events beginning in 2020 and have continued these virtual shows in 2022.

As other modes of transportation and vacation options recover from the impact of COVID-19, the increased demand for our products may not be sustained. We are unable to accurately quantify the future impact that COVID-19 may have on our business, results of operations and liquidity due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration of the pandemic; additional waves of infection or the spread of new variants; the effectiveness of vaccines and therapies against COVID-19 variants and the willingness of a sufficient proportion of the public to receive the vaccine; the economic impact of the pandemic; actions that may be taken by governmental authorities; and other as yet unanticipated consequences. In addition, there could be weakening demand for items that are not basic goods, and our supply chain could be disrupted in the future as a result of the outbreak, such as if Thor Industries, Inc. were to again close its North American production facilities as it did from late March to early May 2020. Any of these events could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

Cybersecurity Incident

We rely on the integrity, security and successful functioning of our information technology systems and network infrastructure (collectively, “IT Systems”) across our operations. In February 2022, we announced that we had experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the encryption of certain IT Systems and theft of certain data and information (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). The Cybersecurity Incident resulted in our temporary inability to access certain of our IT Systems, caused by the disabling of some of our IT Systems by the threat actor and our temporarily taking certain other IT Systems offline as a precautionary measure. We engaged leading outside forensics and cybersecurity experts, launched containment and remediation efforts and a forensic investigation. The forensic investigation is now complete and we have restored and are taking measures to enhance our IT Systems. We are continuing to evaluate the full scope and content of our lost or stolen data but believe that certain personal information was stolen. We will assess and comply with any notification requirements to the extent applicable under federal or state law.  We also are continuing to coordinate with law enforcement.

33

Table of Contents

We have incurred costs related to investigation, containment, and remediation and expect to continue to incur incremental costs for the investigation and remediation of the Cybersecurity Incident, including legal and other professional fees, and investments to enhance the security of our IT Systems. Other actual and potential consequences include, but are not limited to, negative publicity, reputational damage, lost trust with customers, regulatory enforcement action, and litigation that could result in financial judgments or the payment of settlement amounts and disputes with insurance carriers concerning coverage. We do not expect that the Cybersecurity Incident will cause future disruptions to our business and, based on information currently known, we do not believe that the Cybersecurity Incident will have a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We, however, have not yet been able to estimate all incremental costs resulting from the Cybersecurity Incident, which may exceed insurance policy limits, and therefore no assurances can be given as we continue to assess the full impact from the Cybersecurity Incident.

Industry Trends

In late 2019, demand for new RVs across the overall RV industry began improving. Wholesale shipments of new RVs increased 13.2% in the first two months of 2020 according to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers. With the COVID-19 crisis causing many state and local governments to issue “stay-at-home” and “shelter-in-place” restrictions in mid-to-late March, sales and traffic levels across the RV industry declined significantly in April 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many RV manufacturers, including Thor Industries, Forest River, Inc., and Winnebago Industries, temporarily suspended production from late March to mid-May. This led to a 44.6% decrease in wholesale shipments of new RVs for the three month period of March, April, and May 2020, according to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers.

The RV industry posted record shipments in both the third and fourth quarters of 2020, according to the RV Industry Association. Wholesale shipments of RVs for the second half of 2020 increased 34.2% over the comparable period in 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020 total RV shipments increased 6.0% versus the comparable period in 2019, with the travel trailer group showing the largest increase. Wholesale shipments for 2021 were 600,240 units, a new record for RV shipments for any year. Shipments for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased 39.5% over the year ended December 31, 2020 and surpassed 2017, the previous record year, by 19.0%. Wholesale shipments for the first quarter of 2022 were 15.5% over the first quarter of 2021.

Thor Industries, our largest supplier of RVs, disclosed in their Form 10-Q for the three months ended January 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2022 that their North American RV order backlog had increased substantially, and also disclosed that they had experienced supply constraints and shortages of various RV component parts as a result of the current market conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic, which they attempt to minimize, when possible, by identifying alternate suppliers. These potential supply constraints were not unique to Thor Industries as suppliers in the RV industry attempted to meet the high demand for RV products combined with shipping delays, as described above, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which created a shortage of RV new unit inventory.

In light of this shortage, we have taken steps to add new private label lines, expand our relationships with smaller RV manufacturers, and increased our focus on acquiring used inventory to help manage risks in our supply chain. As mentioned above, our ability to procure new vehicles improved beginning in September 2021 and we reached a consistent rate of replenishment, regarding new vehicles, by the middle of the three months ended March 31, 2022. However, the per unit cost of new vehicles has been significantly higher than we experienced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was largely driven by the RV manufacturers’ supply constraints described above and the strong demand for new vehicles. These higher costs have been fully mitigated by the higher average selling prices on new vehicles, which has resulted in higher new vehicle gross margins. We expect average selling prices to decrease as industry-wide supply begins to normalize, which would reduce new vehicle gross margins. We will continue to evaluate supplier pricing, among other criteria, as part of our vehicle procurement process.

Strategic Shift

In 2019, we made a strategic decision to refocus our business around our core RV competencies. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we completed our analysis of our retail product offerings that are not RV related as part of the 2019 Strategic Shift. The information available at the inception of the 2019 Strategic Shift relating to these product categories was incomplete based on the relative immaturity of the locations offering these products and was further delayed by the impact of COVID-19 on consumer buying behavior (see COVID-19 in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q). The Company does not expect to close additional locations or incur further one-time termination benefits or incremental reserve charges in connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift. The remaining potential ongoing charges under the 2019 Strategic Shift relate to lease termination costs and other associated costs relating to the leases of previously closed locations under the 2019 Strategic Shift. The process of identifying subtenants and negotiating lease terminations has been delayed in part due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to continue. The timing of these negotiations will vary as both subleases and terminations are contingent on landlord approvals. See Note 4 — Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Our Corporate Structure Impact on Income Taxes

Our corporate structure is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure and typically results in a different relationship between income (loss) before income taxes and income tax expense than would be experienced by most public companies with a more traditional corporate structure. More traditional structures are typically comprised predominately of Subchapter C corporations and/or lacking significant non-controlling interests with holdings through limited liability companies or partnerships. Typically, most of our income tax expense is recorded at the CWH level, our public holding company, based on its allocation of taxable income from CWGS, LLC.

More specifically, as discussed in Note 12 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, CWH is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, as of March 31, 2022, is a 49.8% owner of CWGS, LLC (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity and Note 15 — Non-Controlling Interests to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). CWGS, LLC is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and, as such is generally not subject to any U.S. federal entity-level income taxes (“Pass-Through”), with the exception of Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc., Camping World, Inc. (“CW”), and FreedomRoads RV, Inc. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are Subchapter C corporations (“C-Corp”) embedded within the CWGS, LLC structure.

CWH receives an allocation of its share of the net income (loss) of CWGS, LLC based on CWH’s weighted-average ownership of CWGS, LLC for the period. CWH recognizes income tax expense on its pre-tax income including its portion of this income allocation from CWGS, LLC primarily relating to Pass-Through entities. The income tax relating to the net income (loss) of CWGS, LLC allocated to CWH that relates to separately taxed C-Corp entities is recorded within the consolidated results of CWGS, LLC. No income tax expense is recognized by the Company for the portion of net income (loss) of CWGS, LLC allocated to non-controlling interest other than income tax expense recorded by CWGS, LLC. Rather, tax distributions are paid to the non-controlling interest holders which are recorded as distributions to holders of LLC common units in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. CWH is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of CWGS, LLC and is taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company used effective income tax rate assumptions of 25.4% and 25.5%, respectively, for income adjustments applicable to CWH when calculating the adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. ─ basic and diluted (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q). CWGS, LLC may be liable for various other state and local taxes.

Total revenue increased 6.7%, or $104.6 million, to $1.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $1.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in total revenue was driven by a $100.9 million, or 6.7%, increase in RV and Outdoor Retail revenue, and a $3.7 million, or 9.0%, increase in Good Sam Services and Plans revenue.

Total gross profit increased 7.6%, or $39.7 million, to $560.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $520.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in total gross profit was driven by a $38.3 million, or 7.8%, increase in RV and Outdoor Retail gross profit, and a $1.4 million, or 5.3%, increase in Good Sam Services and Plans gross profit.

Income from operations decreased 11.5%, or $19.4 million, to $149.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $168.6 million income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a $48.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, a $12.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization, and a $0.1 million reduction in gain on sale of assets, partially offset by a $39.7 million increase in gross profit, a $1.6 million decrease in lease termination expense, and a $0.5 million decrease in long-lived asset impairment expense.

Total other expense increased 8.9%, or $1.7 million, to $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.9 million increase in floor plan interest expense, a $2.1 million increase in other interest expense, and a $0.3 million increase in other expense, net, partially offset by a $3.5 million Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment in the first three months of 2021.

As a result of the above factors, income before income taxes was $128.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a $149.5 million income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Income tax expense was $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $19.0 million from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as discussed below. As a result, net income was $107.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net income of $147.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Good Sam Services and Plans

Good Sam Services and Plans revenue increased 9.0%, or $3.7 million, to $44.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $40.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.6 million increase from the roadside assistance programs primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, an $0.8 million increase from the consumer shows due to no shows produced in 2021 and one show produced in 2022, a $0.7 million increase in Good Sam TravelAssist revenue primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, a $0.3 million increase from the extended warranty insurance programs primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, and a $0.3 million increase from other services and plans.

Good Sam Services and Plans gross profit increased 5.3%, or $1.4 million, to $27.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $26.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, and gross margin decreased to 62.5% from 64.7% in the same respective periods. The gross profit increase was primarily due to a $0.7 million increase from the Good Sam TravelAssist programs, a $0.7 million increase from the annual directory primarily related to reduced marketing, a $0.7 million increase from consumer shows, and a $0.3 million increase from the extended warranty insurance programs, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in overhead support expenses, and a $0.1 million reduction in other services and plans. Gross margin decreased

New Vehicles

New vehicle revenue increased 1.6%, or $13.0 million, to $835.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $822.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a 14.5% increase in average selling price per vehicle sold partially offset by an 11.3% decrease in vehicles sold. On a same store basis, new vehicle revenue decreased 4.3% to $777.4 million, and new vehicle units decreased 16.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

New vehicle gross profit increased 6.9%, or $12.3 million, to $190.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $178.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was due to the 14.5% increase in the average sales price per vehicle sold, partially offset by an 11.3% decrease in vehicles sold. New vehicle gross margin increased 114 basis points to 22.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 21.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was due to the increase in the average sales price and a shift towards higher margined towable units.

Used Vehicles

Used vehicle revenue increased 37.0%, or $108.8 million, to $403.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $294.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a 28.8% increase in average selling price per vehicle and a 6.4% increase in vehicles sold, driven by an increase in demand for lower-cost used vehicles. On a same store basis, used vehicle revenue increased 30.0% to $380.1 million and used vehicle units increased 0.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Used vehicle gross profit increased 41.0%, or $29.1 million, to $100.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $71.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was due to a 28.8% increase in the average sales price per vehicle sold, and a 6.4% increase in vehicle units sold. Used vehicle gross margin increased 71 basis points to 24.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 24.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was the result of increased average sales price per vehicle sold, which was driven by strong demand in the used vehicle market across nearly all product types reflecting the strength of the used market.

Products, service and other

Products, service and other revenue decreased 14.4%, or $36.3 million, to $215.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $251.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to our exit from certain non-RV product categories that were sold in the 2021 period, but not in the 2022 period. On a same store basis, products, service and other revenue decreased 19.4% to $146.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $181.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Products, service and other gross profit decreased 18.9%, or $18.3 million, to $78.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $97.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit driven by the absence of revenue resulting from our exit of certain non-RV product categories during the second half of 2021. Products, service and other gross margin decreased 199 basis points to 36.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 38.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to increases in freight costs from rebalancing inventory levels between distribution centers, in addition to higher freight rates, and higher product costs across several categories.

Finance and Insurance, net

Finance and insurance revenue and gross profit is recorded net, since the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction, and commission is recognized when a finance and insurance product contract payment has been received or financing has been arranged. Finance and insurance, net revenue increased 10.9%, or $15.1 million, to $153.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $138.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to increased used vehicles sold and increased gross profit per contract for both new and used vehicles sold. Finance and insurance, net as a percentage of new and used vehicle revenue remained unchanged at 12.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the three months ended March 31, 2021. On a same store basis, finance and insurance, net increased 4.8%, or $6.5 million, to $143.3 million versus the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Good Sam Club

Good Sam Club revenue increased 3.1%, or $0.3 million, to $11.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $11.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase primarily resulted from a $0.4 million increase in revenue from the Good Sam Club primarily due to a shift to more one-year memberships from multi-year memberships, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in marketing fee revenue from Good Sam Club co-branded credit cards.

Good Sam Club gross profit increased 0.5%, or $0.1 million, to $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $9.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Good Sam Club gross margin decreased to 81.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 83.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to increased wage-related expenses and investment in new programs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 14.3%, or $48.3 million, to $385.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $337.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross profit increased approximately 400 basis points to 68.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 64.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $48.3 million increase was primarily due to a $37.3 million increase in wage-related expenses attributable in large part to variable pay on increased gross profit, to increased retail locations, and to increased equity-based compensation expenses discussed below for the three months ended March 31, 2022; a $2.7 million increase in professional fees; a $1.8 million increase from costs associated with the February 2022 Cybersecurity Incident, net of insurance recoveries; a $4.0 million increase in other store and corporate overhead expenses; and a $2.5 million increase in occupancy expenses.

The wage-related expense increase of $37.3 million included increased equity-based compensation expenses of $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (See Note 16 — Equity-Based Compensation to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), which included an increase of $3.4 million for the expense related to the modification of restricted stock units to accelerate and/or continue vesting under employee separation agreements and/or post-termination consulting arrangements. The remaining increase in equity-based compensation expense was a result of more restricted stock units outstanding and a higher weighted-average grant date fair value of those restricted stock units.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased 101.0%, or $12.8 million, to $25.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $12.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 due primarily to $8.8 million of incremental accelerated amortization from the adjustment of the useful lives of certain trademark and trade name intangible assets associated with brands not traditionally associated with RVs that we are phasing out. These trademark and trade name intangible assets were fully amortized as of March 31, 2022.

Long-lived asset impairment

As discussed in Note 4 – Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, we recognized $0.5 million of long-lived asset impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.

Lease termination

Lease termination expense of $0.2 million and $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively, was related primarily to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.

Floor plan interest expense

Floor plan interest expense increased 84.8%, or $2.9 million, to $6.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a 95.4% increase in average floor plan borrowings driven by increased average new unit inventory levels, partially offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the average floor plan borrowing rate. We expect higher floor plan interest expense to continue in 2022 as the floor plan borrowings are expected to be higher in 2022 compared to 2021, since we do not expect the same new vehicle supply chain constraints that existed in 2021 to be experienced for the remainder of 2022, resulting in higher average new vehicle inventory levels in 2022. We also expect that interest rates will increase during 2022.

Other interest expense, net

Other interest expense increased 17.0%, or $2.1 million, to $14.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $12.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased average debt partially offset by a 26 basis point decrease in the Term Loan Facility average interest rate. We expect that interest rates will increase during 2022.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased $19.0 million to $21.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $14.9 million release of valuation allowance and a $4.1 million benefit for the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of increased state tax rates that were both recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 there was also an increase in ownership interest in CWGS, LLC for which the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes on its allocable share, which was mostly offset by lower income generated and the benefit from higher losses at CW that are available to offset state combined income in certain unitary states for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The valuation allowance release during 2021 was attributable to the change in the entities within state combined filing groups due to unitary relationships, which provide additional taxable income sources to utilize CW’s deferred tax assets. CWH’s increased ownership in CWGS, LLC and other qualitative unity factors impacted the unitary relationships.

Net income

Net income decreased $40.1 million to a net income of $107.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from a net income of $147.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The change was primarily due to the items mentioned above.

Good Sam Services and Plans

Good Sam Services and Plans segment revenue increased 9.6%, or $3.9 million, to $44.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $40.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.6 million increase from the roadside assistance programs primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, a $1.0 million increase from the consumer shows due to no shows produced in 2021 and one show produced in 2022, a $0.7 million increase in Good Sam TravelAssist revenue primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, a $0.3 million increase from the extended warranty insurance programs primarily resulting from increased contracts in force, and a $0.3 million increase from other services and plans.

Good Sam Services and Plans segment income decreased 0.1%, or was essentially unchanged at $21.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the three months ended March 31, 2021. A $1.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consisting of investing in additional information technology personnel, a $0.9 million increase in overhead support expenses, and a gross profit reduction of $0.1 million from other services and plans was offset by a $0.7 million gross profit increase from the Good Sam TravelAssist programs, a $0.7 million gross profit increase from the annual directory primarily related to reduced marketing, a $0.7 million gross profit increase from consumer shows, and a $0.3 million gross profit increase from the extended warranty insurance programs. Segment income margin net of intersegment revenue elimination decreased 431 basis points to 47.5% primarily due to increased roadside assistance costs, in addition to increased support expenses.

RV and Outdoor Retail

RV and Outdoor Retail segment revenue increased 6.7%, or $101.7 million, to $1.6 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $1.5 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $108.8 million, or 36.9%, increase in used vehicle revenue, a $16.2 million, or 11.4%, increase in finance and insurance, net revenue, a $12.8 million, or 1.6%, increase in new vehicle revenue, and a $0.3 million, or 3.1%, increase in Good Sam Club revenue, partially offset by a $36.4 million, or 14.5%, decrease in products, service and other revenue.

Table of Contents

RV and Outdoor Retail segment income decreased 4.7%, or $7.5 million, to a segment income of $151.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from a segment income of $159.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily related to a $45.0 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses (see discussion of selling, general and administrative expenses above), a $2.9 million increase in floor plan interest expense, and a $0.1 million reduction in gain on sale of assets partially offset by increased segment gross profit of $38.3 million primarily due to increased revenue per vehicle sold, a $1.6 million reduction in lease termination expense, and a $0.5 million reduction in long-lived asset impairment. RV and Outdoor Retail segment margin decreased to 9.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 10.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Corporate and other expenses

Corporate and other expenses increased 81.8%, or $1.9 million, to $4.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to costs relating to the Cybersecurity Incident, which are net of insurance recoveries.

Tax Receivable Agreement Liability adjustment

The Tax Receivable Agreement Liability adjustment for 2021 was an expense of $3.5 million, which represented an adjustment for higher state income tax rates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed 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 EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Diluted (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. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. 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, and 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, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of those adjusted in this presentation. 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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define “EBITDA” as net income before other interest expense, net (excluding floor plan interest expense), provision for income tax expense 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, lease termination costs, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the 2019 Strategic Shift, and other unusual or one-time items. We define “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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.

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

We define “Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic” as net income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash 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, lease termination costs, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the 2019 Strategic Shift, other unusual or one-time items, the income tax expense effect of these adjustments, and the effect of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from these adjustments.

We define “Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic adjusted for the reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from stock options and restricted stock units, if dilutive, or the assumed exchange, 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 Earnings Per Share – Basic” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. - Basic divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. We define “Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Diluted” as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (i) the exchange 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 Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Basic, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – Diluted, Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Basic, and Adjusted 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.

(i)Represents the reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from the impact of the assumed change in ownership of CWGS, LLC from stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.
(j)Represents the income tax expense effect of the above adjustment for reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests. This assumption uses an effective tax rate of 25.4% and 25.5% for the adjustments for the 2022 and 2021 periods, respectively.
(k)Typically represents adjustments to reflect the income tax benefit of losses of consolidated C-corporations that under the Company’s current equity structure cannot be used against the income of other consolidated subsidiaries of CWGS, LLC. However, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, this adjustment included the reversal of the $14.9 million release of valuation allowance for Camping World, Inc. Subsequent to the exchange of all common units in CWGS, LLC, the Company believes certain actions could be taken such that the C-corporations’ losses could offset income of other consolidated subsidiaries. The adjustment reflects the income tax benefit assuming effective tax rate of 25.4% and 25.5% during the 2022 and 2021 periods, respectively, for the losses experienced by the consolidated C-corporations for which valuation allowances have been recorded. No assumed release of valuation allowance established for previous periods were included in these amounts and the $14.9 million release of valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was considered to be reversed and excluded from adjusted net income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. – diluted for purposes of this calculation.
(l)Represents the impact to the denominator for stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.
(m)The below amounts have not been considered in our adjusted earnings per share – diluted amounts as the effect of these items are anti-dilutive.
(n)Represents the per share impact of the Non-GAAP adjustments to net income detailed above (see (a) through (h) above).
(o)Represents the per share impact of stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC from the difference in their dilutive impact between the GAAP and Non-GAAP earnings per share calculations.

As discussed under “Our Corporate Structure Impact on Income Taxes” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q , our “Up-C” corporate structure may make it difficult to compare our results with those of companies with a more traditional corporate structure. There can be a significant fluctuation in the numerator and denominator for the calculation of our adjusted earnings per share – diluted depending on if the common units in CWGS, LLC are considered dilutive or anti-dilutive for a given period. To improve comparability of our financial results, users of our financial statements may find it useful to review our earnings per share assuming the full exchange of common units in CWGS, LLC for all periods, even when those common units would be anti-dilutive. The relevant numerator and denominator adjustments have been provided under “Anti-dilutive amounts” in the table above (see (m) above).

Uses and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management and our board of directors use the Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

as a measurement of operating performance because they assist us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections;
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business.

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, 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 should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as indicators of financial performance. Some of the limitations are:

such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
some of such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
some of such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Due to these limitations, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these Non-GAAP Financial Measures only supplementally. As noted in the tables above, certain of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures include adjustments for long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, gains and loss on sale or disposal of assets, equity-based

Table of Contents

compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the 2019 Strategic Shift, other unusual or one-time items, and the income tax expense effect described above, as applicable. 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 paragraph and in the reconciliation tables above help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital have been working capital, inventory management, acquiring and building new retail locations, the improvement and expansion of existing retail locations, debt service, distributions to holders of equity interests in CWGS, LLC and our Class A common stock, and general corporate needs. These cash requirements have historically been met through cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from registered offerings of our Class A common stock, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below), borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility (as defined below) and borrowings under our Real Estate Facilities (as defined below).

As a public company, our additional liquidity needs include public company costs, payment of regular and special cash dividends, any exercise of the redemption right by the Continuing Equity Owners from time to time (should we elect to exchange common units for a cash payment), our stock repurchase program as described below, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and state and federal taxes to the extent not reduced as a result of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their common units remain outstanding. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary, we expect that the payments that we will be required to make to the Continuing Equity Owners, Former Profits Unit Holders and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. will be significant. Any payments made by us to Continuing Equity Owners, Former Profits Unit Holders and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or to CWGS, LLC and, to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us; provided, however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore may accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For a discussion of the Tax Receivable Agreement, see Note 12 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Stock Repurchase Program

In October 2020, our board of directors initially authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our Class A common stock, expiring on October 31, 2022. In August 2021 and January 2022, our board of directors authorized an increase to the stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an additional $125.0 million and $152.7 million, respectively, of our Class A common stock and an extension of the stock repurchase program to expire on August 31, 2023 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Repurchases under the program are subject to any applicable limitations on the availability of funds to be distributed to us by CWGS, LLC to fund the repurchase and may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at our discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of our shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Board’s discretion. We expect to fund the repurchases using cash on hand.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased 2,592,524 shares of our Class A common stock for $79.8 million, including broker commissions. As of March 31, 2022, $120.2 million was available under the stock repurchase program to repurchase additional shares of our Class A common stock.

Dividends

On February 18, 2022, our board of directors approved the increase of the portion of the quarterly cash dividend relating to all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution (as defined under “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report) to $0.475 per share of Class A common stock from $0.35 per share, which increased the total quarterly cash dividend to $0.625 per share of Class A common stock from $0.50 per share beginning in March 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we paid a regular quarterly cash dividend on our Class A common stock of $0.625 per share, which was funded with a $0.15 per common unit cash distribution from CWGS, LLC and the remainder funded with all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution.

CWGS, LLC is required to make cash distributions in accordance with the CWGS LLC Agreement in an amount sufficient for us to pay any expenses incurred by us in connection with the regular quarterly cash dividend, along with any of our other operating expenses and other obligations. 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.

As described above, CWGS, LLC intends to make a regular quarterly cash distribution to its common unit holders, including us, and we intend to use all of the proceeds from such distribution on our common units to pay a portion of our regular quarterly cash dividend on our Class A common stock, subject to our discretion as the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and the discretion of our board of directors.

Additionally, as described above, we currently intend to pay a portion of our regular quarterly cash dividend with all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution to the holders of our Class A common stock subject to the discretion of our board of directors as described under “Dividend Policy” in our Annual Report.

Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations particularly with respect to liquidity, and we may not pay future dividends according to our policy, or at all. See “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report and “Risk Factors ─ Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock ─ “Our ability to pay regular and special dividends on our Class A common stock is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and may be limited by our structure and statutory restrictions” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of various RV dealerships comprised of two locations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $34.8 million (see Note 11 – Acquisitions to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) and purchased real property of $12.1 million. Additionally, for the entirety of 2022, our expansion of dealerships though acquisition and construction is expected to cost between $225.0 million and $330.0 million through a combination of business acquisitions and capital expenditures relating to land, buildings, and improvements. Factors that could impact the quantity of future locations or the cost to acquire or open those locations include, but are not limited to, our ability to locate potential acquisition targets or greenfield locations in a geographic area and at a cost that meets our success criteria; continued strong cash flow generation from our operations to fund these acquisitions and new locations; and availability of financing on our Floor Plan Facility.

Tax Receivable Agreement Liability

Cash requirements relating to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability have not materially changed since our Annual Report. See Note 12 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

2019 Strategic Shift

In connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift, we have incurred or expect to incur costs relating to one-time employee termination benefits of $1.2 million, lease termination costs of between $19.0 million and $34.0 million, incremental inventory reserve charges of $57.4 million, and other associated costs of $36.0 million to $41.0 million. We expect that approximately $2.1 million to $7.1 million of other associated costs and $4.9 million to $19.9 million of lease termination costs will result in future cash expenditures. For a discussion of the 2019 Strategic Shift, see Note 4 — Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

COVID-19

There has been significant uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and cash flows. As a result, we initially took proactive steps to increase cash available on-hand, including, but not limited to, reducing cash expenditures, including wage reductions through a combination of temporary salary reductions, layoffs, and furloughs; negotiating payment deferrals with lessors; reducing marketing and promotional expenses; and delaying strategic capital expenditures. As demand for our products accelerated and our cash position improved, most of the temporary salary reductions ended in May 2020. We are continually monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impacts on our business. If stay-at-home and shelter-in-place restrictions are put back into place, we may choose to re-implement cost reduction measures.

Other Cash Requirements or Commitments

Substantially all of our new RV inventory and certain of our used RV inventory is financed under our Floor Plan Facility (defined below). See “Description of Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Floor Plan Facility and Real Estate Facilities” for a discussion of the cash requirements related to our indebtedness.

Cash requirements relating to operating and finance lease obligations and service and marketing sponsorship agreements have not materially changed since our Annual Report.

Sources of Liquidity and Capital

We believe that our sources of liquidity and capital including cash provided by operating activities, additional borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility, and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy, including the opening of any additional retail locations, regular and special quarterly cash dividends (as described above), required payments for our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot assure you that our cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents or cash available under our Revolving Credit Facility or our Floor Plan Facility, including the potential additional borrowings noted above, will be sufficient to meet our future needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and if availability under our Revolving Credit Facility or our Floor Plan Facility is not sufficient, we may have to obtain additional financing. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may impose significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all, including the expected additional borrowings noted above and particularly in light of the economic uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business — Our ability to operate and expand our business and to respond to changing business and economic conditions will depend on the availability of adequate capital” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had working capital of $645.4 million and $685.6 million, respectively, including $139.5 million and $267.3 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Our working capital reflects the cash provided by deferred revenue and gains reported under current liabilities of $92.7 million and $95.5 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Deferred revenue primarily consists of cash collected for club memberships and roadside assistance contracts in advance of

52

Table of Contents

services to be provided, which is deferred and recognized as revenue over the life of the membership, and deferred revenue for the annual guide. We use net proceeds from this deferred membership revenue to lower our long-term borrowings and finance our working capital needs. Our Floor Plan Facility includes a flooring line aggregate interest reduction (“FLAIR”) offset account that allows us to transfer cash as an offset to the payables under the Floor Plan Facility. The FLAIR offset account at March 31, 2022 was $152.6 million, $143.6 million of which could have been withdrawn while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants of the Floor Plan Facility.

Seasonality

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income, and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in our business. Because RVs are used primarily by vacationers and campers, demand for services, protection plans, products, and resources generally declines during the winter season, while sales and profits are generally highest during the spring and summer months. In addition, unusually severe weather conditions in some geographic areas may impact demand.

We generate a disproportionately higher amount of our annual revenue in our second and third fiscal quarters, which include the spring and summer months. We incur additional expenses in the second and third fiscal quarters due to higher purchase volumes, increased staffing in our retail locations and program costs. If, for any reason, we miscalculate the demand for our products or our product mix during the second and third fiscal quarters, our sales in these quarters could decline, resulting in higher labor costs as a percentage of gross profit, lower margins and excess inventory, which could cause our annual results of operations to suffer and our stock price to decline.

Additionally, SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit tend to be higher in the first and fourth quarters due to the timing of acquisitions and the seasonality of our business. We prefer to acquire new retail locations in the first and fourth quarters of each year in order to provide time for the location to be re-modeled and to ramp up operations ahead of the spring and summer months. The timing of our acquisitions in the first and fourth quarters, coupled with generally lower revenue in these quarters has historically resulted in SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit being higher in these quarters.

Due to our seasonality, the possible adverse impact from other risks associated with our business, including atypical weather, consumer spending levels and general business conditions, is potentially greater if any such risks occur during our peak sales seasons.

Operating activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily collections from contracts in transit and customers following the sale of new and used vehicles, as well as from the sale of retail products and services and Good Sam services and plans. Contracts in transit represent amounts due from third-party lenders from whom pre-arranged agreements have been determined, and to whom the retail installment sales contracts have been assigned. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are repayments of vehicle floor plan payables, payments to retail product suppliers, personnel-related expenditures, payments related to leased property, advertising, and various services and program costs.

Net cash used in operating activities was $210.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $297.9 million from $87.8 million of net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $298.2 million increase in inventory, a $40.1 million

reduction in net income, and $16.3 million of increased accounts payable and other accrued expenses, partially offset by a $31.3 reduction in accounts receivable, a $19.0 million reduction in deferred income taxes, and $6.4 million of cash provided by other operating activities.

Investing activities. Our investment in business activities primarily consists of expanding our operations through organic growth and the acquisition of retail locations. Substantially all of our new retail locations and capital expenditures have been financed using cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as applicable.

The table below summarizes our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Our capital expenditures consist primarily of investing in acquired and greenfield retail and RV dealership locations, existing retail locations, information technology, hardware, and software. The expected minimum capital expenditures relating to new dealerships and real estate purchases through December 31, 2022 are discussed above. As of March 31, 2022, we had entered into contracts for construction of new dealership buildings for an aggregate future commitment of capital expenditures of $50.2 million. There were no other material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2022.

Net cash used in investing activities was $84.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $84.0 million of cash used in investing activities was comprised of $34.8 million for the purchase of RV and outdoor retail businesses, $31.7 million of capital expenditures primarily related to retail locations, $17.0 million for the purchase of real property, and $0.7 million for the purchase of intangible assets, partially offset by proceeds of $0.2 million from the sale of property and equipment. See Note 11 – Acquisitions to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Net cash used in investing activities was $46.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $46.2 million of cash used in investing activities was comprised of $21.4 million for the purchase of real property, $14.9 million of capital expenditures primarily related to new and existing locations, $10.4 million for the purchase of RV and outdoor retail businesses, and $0.3 million of investment in businesses, partially offset by $0.6 million from the sale of real property, and proceeds of $0.2 million from the sale of property and equipment.

Financing activities. Our financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from the issuance of debt and the repayment of principal and debt issuance costs.

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $166.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $166.2 million of cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to $275.3 million of net proceeds from borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility, $28.0 million of net proceeds from a sale-leaseback arrangement, and $0.2 million of proceeds from exercise of stock options, partially offset by $79.8 million for the repurchase of Class A common stock, $26.4 million of dividends paid on Class A common stock, $24.8 million of member distributions, $4.0 million of payments on long-term debt, $1.2 million of RSU shares withheld for tax, and $1.0 million for finance lease payments.

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $49.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $49.2 million of cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to $78.1 million of net proceeds from borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility, and $2.0 million of proceeds from exercise of stock options, partially offset by $16.9 million of member distributions, $10.4 million of dividends paid on Class A

Description of Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Floor Plan Facility, Real Estate Facilities, and Other Long-Term Debt

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding debt in the form of our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, our Floor Plan Facility, and our Real Estate Facilities (each defined below). We may from time to time seek to refinance, retire or exchange our outstanding debt. Such refinancings, repayments or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. For additional information regarding our interest rate risk and interest rate hedging instruments, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part I, Item 3 of this Form 10-Q.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, was party to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of a $1.4 billion term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory principal payments in equal quarterly installments of $3.5 million. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in June 2026 and the Term Loan Facility matures in June 2028. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the average interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 3.25% and 3.25%, respectively.

Additionally, we are required to prepay the term loan borrowings in an aggregate amount up to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for such fiscal year depending on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined by the Credit Agreement) beginning with the year ended December 31, 2022. We were not required to make an additional excess cash flow payment relating to 2021 and we do not expect that an additional excess cash flow payment will be required relating to 2022.

The Credit Agreement requires the Borrower and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which covenant is in effect only if, as of the end of each calendar quarter, the aggregate amount of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (including swingline loans), letters of credit and unreimbursed letter of credit disbursements outstanding at such time is greater than 35% of the total commitment on the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding (i) up to $15.0 million attributable to any outstanding undrawn letters of credit and (ii) any cash collateralized or backstopped letters of credit), as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2022, we were not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 35% threshold. To the extent that we are unable to comply with the maximum Total Leverage Ratio in the future, we would be unable to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and may need to seek alternative sources of financing in order to operate and finance our business as we deem appropriate. The Company’s borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2022 was limited to $60.1 million of borrowings. At March 31, 2022, we would have met this covenant if we had exceeded the 35% threshold. We were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

See our Annual Report and Note 6 – Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the outstanding amounts, available borrowings and terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Floor Plan Facility

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FreedomRoads, LLC (“FR”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, maintained floor plan financing through the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Floor Plan Facility”). The Floor Plan Facility at March 31, 2021 allowed FR to borrow (a) up to $1.70 billion under a floor plan facility, (b) up to $30.0 million under a letter of credit facility and (c) up to a maximum amount outstanding of $70.0 million under the revolving line of credit. The Floor Plan Facility also includes an accordion

feature allowing FR, at its option, to increase the aggregate amount of the floor plan notes payable in $50 million increments up to a maximum amount of $200 million. The lenders under the Floor Plan Facility are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase. The maturity date of the Floor Plan Facility is September 30, 2026.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the applicable interest rate for the floor plan notes payable under the Floor Plan Facility was 2.18% and 1.96%, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the applicable interest rate for revolving line of credit borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility was 2.38% and 2.31%, respectively.

The credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility contains certain financial covenants, which we were in compliance with at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

See our Annual Report and Note 3 – Inventories and Floor Plan Payables to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the outstanding amounts, available borrowings and terms of the Floor Plan Facility.

Real Estate Facilities

In November 2018, September 2021, and December 2021, Camping World Property, Inc. (the ‘‘Real Estate Borrower’’), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, and CIBC Bank USA (“Lender”), entered into loan and security agreements for real estate credit facilities (as amended from time to time, the “First Real Estate Facility”, the “Second Real Estate Facility”, and the “Third Real Estate Facility”, respectively, and collectively the “Real Estate Facilities”) with aggregate maximum principal capacities of $21.5 million, $9.0 million, and $10.1 million for the First Real Estate Facility, Second Real Estate Facility, and Third Real Estate Facility, respectively. The First Real Estate Facility, the Second Real Estate Facility, and Third Real Estate Facility mature in October 2023, September 2026, and December 2026, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, the First Real Estate Facility, Second Real Estate Facility, and Third Real Estate Facility had outstanding principal balances of $4.1 million, $8.4 million, and $9.9 million, respectively, net of unamortized finance costs. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on the Real Estate Facilities, as applicable, was 2.91% and 2.89%, respectively, with a commitment fee of 0.50% of the aggregate unused principal amount of the Real Estate Facilities. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had zero additional capacity under the Real Estate Facilities.

The Real Estate Facilities are subject to certain cross default provisions, a debt service coverage ratio, and other customary covenants which we were in compliance with at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

See our Annual Report and Note 6 – Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the terms of the Real Estate Facilities.

Other Long-Term Debt

In December 2021, FRHP Lincolnshire, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, assumed a mortgage as part of a real estate acquisition. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage was $3.4 million with an interest rate of 3.50%. The mortgage matures in December 2026. See Note 6 — Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the terms of the other long-term debt.

Sale/Leaseback Arrangements

We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property and/or leasehold improvements to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds which vary from period to period.

On February 8, 2022, FRHP Lincolnshire, LLC sold three properties for a total sale price of $28.0 million. Concurrent with the sale of these properties, the Company entered into three separate twenty-year lease agreements, whereby the Company will lease back the properties from the acquiring company. Under each lease agreement, FR has four consecutive options to extend the lease term for additional periods of five years for each option. This transaction is accounted for as a financing transaction. The Company recorded a liability for the amount received, will continue to depreciate the non-land portion of the assets, and has imputed an interest rate so that the net carrying amount of the financial liability and remaining assets will be zero at the end of the initial lease terms. The financial liability is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of our sales for products not yet recognized as revenue at the end of a given period. Our deferred revenue as of March 31, 2022 was $162.6 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and in doing so, we have to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change our results from those reported. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.

There has been no material change in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those previously reported and disclosed in our Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For a discussion of the Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks, in our Annual Report. As of March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes in this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, 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. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive

57

Table of Contents

Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control performed during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022, other than with respect to the risk factors described below.

Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States, and our tax liabilities will be subject to the allocation of expenses in differing jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

expected timing and amount of increases in or release of any tax valuation allowances;

tax effects of equity-based compensation;

costs related to intercompany restructurings; or

changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations thereof.

In addition, we may be subject to audits of our income, sales and other transaction taxes by U.S. federal and state authorities. Outcomes from these audits could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

CWH is able to benefit from certain state combined filing groups due to unitary relationships, which provide additional taxable income sources to utilize CW’s deferred tax assets. CWH’s annual weighted-average ownership in CWGS, LLC of over 50% and other qualitative unity factors impact the unitary relationships. If changes in unitary factors, such as treasury stock repurchases that reduce CWH’s ownership in CWGS, LLC, result in the inability for combined filing for certain states, then additional income tax expense would be recognized for recording an additional valuation allowance against CW’s deferred tax assets. Additionally, this change in filing status would likely decrease CWH’s state tax rates applied against its current taxable income, which would also result in additional tax expense due to the revaluation of its deferred tax assets and other income from the adjustment to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability.

(1)On October 30, 2020, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock, expiring on October 31, 2022.

Following these extensions, the stock repurchase program now expires on December 31, 2025.
