Camping World Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results, Record Breaking Total Unit Volume, Significant Year-to-Date Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA Growth
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Camping World Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CWH) (“CWH” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), the World’s Largest Recreational Vehicle Dealer, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Matthew Wagner, President of CWH stated, “Our Company delivered over 40% Adjusted EBITDA (1) growth this quarter, driven by record breaking new and used vehicle volume (2). These results are a testament to our ability to navigate around constant macroeconomic changes, outperforming the industry in every category.”
Mr. Wagner continued, “Year-to-date our Company achieved a record 13.5% market share (3) of new and used units, an over 200 basis point combined improvement. Total new and used same store unit volume momentum continues in October, increasing low double-digit percent year-over-year as used remains a compelling value proposition for consumers focused on affordability. We expect continued progress in 2026, driven by used vehicle unit volume, improving ASPs, and over $15 million of potential cost takeout opportunity.”
Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CWH commented, “As our team prepares for 2026, we are extremely confident in our ability to once again outperform the RV industry, grow our earnings, and continue to reduce our leverage year-over-year. As expected, affordability is still top of mind for consumers, and rising prices could create resistance on demand. This is leading us to deliberately set conservative new volume growth assumptions. Our Company will continue to rely on our market leading used, service, and Good Sam businesses as our financial performance differentiator. While it is early in our forecasting, we see a consecutive year of Adjusted EBITDA growth, starting in the low $300 million range, and a plan to outperform it.”
Mr. Lemonis concluded, “Our management team believes this judicious conservatism, combined with our fortified balance sheet and improving leverage, has set the stage for our return to measured and accretive M&A activity across the business.”
Third Quarter-over-Quarter Operating Highlights
(1)
Adjusted earnings per share – diluted, Adjusted EBITDA, and SG&A Excluding SBC are non-GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section later in this press release.
(2)
Refers to combined new and used vehicle unit sale volume.
(3)
New and used unit market share is calculated as total volume of the Company’s new and used units sold during any specified time period divided by the total number of new registrations as reported by SSI Data, LLC, d/b/a Statistical Surveys for that same specified time period.
Revisions to Prior Period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company's management identified prior period misstatements related to the measurement of the realizable portion of the Company’s outside basis difference deferred tax asset in CWGS Enterprises, LLC (“CWGS, LLC”), including the associated valuation allowance. As a result, deferred tax assets, net, additional paid-in capital, and income tax benefit (expense) as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were revised in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. The misstatements impacted the beginning balances of deferred taxes, net, additional paid-in capital, and retained earnings, which have been revised from the amounts previously reported as of September 30, 2024. The Company evaluated the materiality of these errors, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and determined the effect of these revisions was not material to the previously issued financial statements.
The following table presents the effect of the immaterial misstatements on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for the period indicated:

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; Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Diluted; and SG&A Excluding SBC (collectively the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"). We believe that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics we use in our financial and operational decision making. Certain of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry and are used by management to evaluate our operating performance, to evaluate the effectiveness of strategic initiatives and for planning purposes. By providing these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. In addition, our Senior Secured Credit Facilities use Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated for our subsidiary CWGS Group, LLC, to measure our compliance with covenants such as the consolidated leverage ratio. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by any items adjusted for in these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In evaluating these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, it is reasonable to expect that certain of these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this section and in the reconciliation tables below help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.
Our earnings call on October 29, 2025 may present guidance that includes Adjusted EBITDA. A full reconciliation of the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to its most-directly comparable GAAP metric cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliations.
The Non-GAAP Financial Measures that we use are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define “EBITDA” as net (loss) income before other interest expense, net (excluding floor plan interest expense), provision for income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of certain noncash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, SBC, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, losses and gains and/or impairment on investments in equity securities, 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 (loss) income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the impact of certain noncash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, gains and losses on sale or disposal of assets, net, SBC, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, loss and/or impairment on investments in equity securities, other unusual or one-time items, the income tax (expense) benefit effect of these adjustments, income tax expense impact from significant change in valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and the effect of net (loss) 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 redemption, if dilutive, of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for shares of newly-issued Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc.
We define “Adjusted 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 redemption of all outstanding common units in CWGS, LLC for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock of Camping World Holdings, Inc., if dilutive, and (ii) the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units, if any. We present Adjusted Net 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.
The following table reconciles 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 to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the income tax impact of this reallocation adjustment related to the public holding company, CWH, which had a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, for which no income tax benefit or expense could be recognized.

The below amounts have not been considered in our adjusted earnings per share – diluted amounts as the effect of these items are anti-dilutive.

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.
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 loss per share assuming the full redemption 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).
SG&A Excluding SBC
We define “SG&A Excluding SBC” as SG&A before SBC relating to SG&A. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of SG&A Excluding SBC may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate SG&A Excluding SBC in the same manner. We present SG&A Excluding SBC because we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance and drivers of our other Non-GAAP Financial Measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, is enhanced by including this Non-GAAP Financial Measure. We believe it provides a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.
