In addition, our ongoing progress to deliver more homes combined with the retailer destocking and order rates, resulted in healthier backlog levels and improved delivery times to our customers.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results

Net sales for the second quarter fiscal 2023 increased 53.9% to $806.8 million compared to the prior-year period. The number of U.S. homes sold in the second quarter fiscal 2023 increased 23.2% to 7,274. Volume growth during the quarter was driven by increased capacity and improved production levels, resulting in a higher number of homes shipped. The ASP per U.S. home sold increased 29.8% to $103,700 due to the mix of units sold, including those sold to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), and price increases to offset cost inflation. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter decreased to 303 homes compared to 358 homes in the prior-year period due to a shift in product mix to larger homes and reduced demand in certain markets. Total backlog for Skyline Champion was $0.8 billion as of October 1, 2022, compared to $1.4 billion as of October 2, 2021. Backlog decreased due to increased production and a moderation of order rates as retailer’s destock existing inventory.

Gross profit increased by 111.9% to $274.1 million in the second quarter fiscal 2023 compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 34.0% of net sales, a 930-basis point expansion compared to 24.7% in the second quarter fiscal 2022. Gross profit margin performance is being driven by increased volumes, pricing, lower commodity costs, operational efficiencies and product mix, including sales to FEMA during the quarter.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the second quarter fiscal 2023 increased to $83.9 million from $61.3 million in the same period last year. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 130 basis points to 10.4%. Higher volumes, increased profitability, and fixed cost leverage during the quarter more than offset higher variable compensation expenses, and additional investments in new capacity.

Net income increased by 184.1% to $144.1 million for the second quarter fiscal 2023 compared to the prior-year period. The increase in net income was driven by the increase in sales volume, pricing, and operating leverage.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter fiscal 2023 increased by 169.6% to $197.1 million compared to the second quarter fiscal 2022 driven by an increase in net sales and improved profitability. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 1,050 basis points to 24.4% due to higher sales and continued operational improvements increasing the leverage of fixed costs.

As of October 1, 2022, Skyline Champion had $677.0 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) throughout this press release, Skyline Champion has provided non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. Skyline Champion uses these non-GAAP financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors. Skyline Champion believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that Skyline Champion believes are not representative of its core business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of Skyline Champion’s financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Skyline Champion defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss plus, (a) the provision for income taxes, (b) interest income or expense, net, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) gain or loss from discontinued operations, (e) restructuring charges and impairment of assets, (f) other non-operating income and costs, including those for the acquisition and integration or disposition of businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of earnings calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net sales, operating income or earnings per share prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as defined by U.S. GAAP. Skyline Champion believes that Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors to evaluate its performance and that of its competitors. However, Skyline Champion’s use of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in its industry. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled from the respective measure under U.S. GAAP in the tables below. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales reported in the statement of operations.
