Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Cavco Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "we," "us," "our," the "Company" or "Cavco") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In addition, references throughout to numbered "Notes" refer to these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise stated.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary to fairly state the results for the periods presented. We have evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date of the filing of this report with the SEC, and there were no disclosable subsequent events. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 3, 2021, filed with the SEC ("Form 10-K").

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. The uncertainty created by the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has made such estimates more difficult and subjective. Due to that and other uncertainties, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results or cash flows for the full year. The Company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest to March 31st of each year. Each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks, with an occasional fourth quarter extending to 14 weeks, if necessary, for the fiscal year to end on the Saturday nearest to March 31st. The current fiscal year will end on April 2, 2022 and will include 52 weeks.

We operate in two segments: (1) factory-built housing, which includes wholesale and retail factory-built housing operations, and (2) financial services, which includes manufactured housing consumer finance and insurance. We design and build a wide variety of affordable manufactured homes, modular homes and park model RVs through 26 homebuilding production lines located throughout the United States, which are sold to a network of independent distributors, community owners and developers and through our 45 Company-owned retail stores. The financial services segment is comprised of a finance subsidiary, CountryPlace Acceptance Corp. ("CountryPlace"), and an insurance subsidiary, Standard Casualty Company ("Standard Casualty"). CountryPlace is an approved Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation seller/servicer and a Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") mortgage-backed securities issuer that offers conforming mortgages, non-conforming mortgages and home-only loans to purchasers of factory-built homes. Standard Casualty provides property and casualty insurance primarily to owners of manufactured homes.

On September 24, 2021, we acquired the business and certain assets and liabilities of The Commodore Corporation ("Commodore"), including its six manufacturing facilities and two wholly-owned retail locations. The results of operations are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. See Note 22.

Significant Accounting Policies

In addition to the below, for a description of significant accounting policies we used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest. In fiscal year 2017, we purchased a 50% interest in Craftsman Homes, LLC and Craftsman Homes Development, LLC (collectively known as "Craftsman" or the "Entities") from a third-party ("Seller"). Craftsman is a manufactured home retailer in Nevada with four locations selling Company and other manufacturer branded homes. They also provide general construction to setup the home property and assist with multi-home developments and multi-family dwellings.

On July 4, 2021, we entered into an agreement (the "Craftsman Purchase Agreement") with the Seller to obtain the remaining 50% ownership in Craftsman, owned by the Seller, to be purchased over time. As provided in the Craftsman Purchase Agreement, 20% of the equity of Craftsman owned by the Seller was obtained as of July 4, 2021 by us for cash and, as a result, we obtained a controlling ownership interest. We accounted for this transaction as a business combination achieved in stages (see Note 22) and consolidated the Entities while recognizing a noncontrolling interest for the remaining Seller ownership, as discussed below.

The Craftsman Purchase Agreement calls for an additional 20% of the equity of Craftsman owned by the Seller to be purchased on December 31, 2023 by us for cash. As mandatory redemption of this ownership interest is required, $2.5 million for the fair value of this portion of the noncontrolling interest is recorded in the long-term liabilities section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet within Secured financings and other. In each reporting period hereafter, until purchased by the Company, the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is adjusted to its current redemption value, based on a predetermined formula. Adjustments in the redemption value to the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest are recorded to Interest expense.

After December 31, 2023, the Seller has the right to require Cavco to purchase all of Seller's remaining 10% ownership ("Put Right") for an amount specified in the Craftsman Purchase Agreement that is designed to approximate fair value. Likewise, Cavco has the right to require Seller to sell their remaining 10% ownership ("Call Right") based on the same timing as described above for the Put Right. The purchase price to be payable by the Company for the purchase of Seller's remaining ownership pursuant to the exercise of the Put Right or the Call Right will be settled in cash. As redemption of this remaining ownership is not a current obligation, $1.2 million for the initial fair value of this portion of the noncontrolling interest is classified as a temporary equity mezzanine item between liabilities and stockholders' equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet under the Redeemable noncontrolling interest caption. The amount of income attributable to this noncontrolling interest is included on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
