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 a fair statement 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 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, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

CWH has sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC (see Note 15 — 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 September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, CWH owned 52.8%, 50.2%, and 50.1%, 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.

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 the occurrence of 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, which was completed as of September 30, 2022. The Company is continuing to take measures to enhance its IT Systems. Through its investigation, the Company identified that personal information of approximately 30,000 individuals was acquired without authorization, including, depending on the individual, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. The Company complied with notification obligations in accordance with relevant law and cooperated with law enforcement.

The Company has incurred costs related to investigation, containment, and remediation and expects to continue to incur incremental costs for the 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,

and regulatory enforcement action. In December 2022, three putative class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries arising out of the Cybersecurity Incident. On March 30, 2023, the Company and plaintiffs reached an agreement in principle to resolve the putative class action complaints for an immaterial amount subject to the execution of a settlement agreement and court approval. On April 11, 2023, for purposes of effectuating the settlement reached with Company, the original complaints were dismissed and refiled as a combined state court complaint. On June 15, 2023, the parties executed the settlement agreement. On June 28, 2023, the plaintiffs’ attorneys in the combined state court case filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement. On August 10, 2023 the court held a hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement hearing at which time the court requested additional information. On September 28, 2023, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement without prejudice. The next hearing date is December 5, 2023.

The Company does not expect that the Cybersecurity Incident will cause future disruptions to its business or that the Cybersecurity Incident, including anticipated costs associated with pending litigation, will have a future material impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition.

Seasonality

The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income, and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in its 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.

The Company generates a disproportionately higher amount of its annual revenue in its second and third fiscal quarters, which include the spring and summer months. The Company incurs additional expenses in the second and third fiscal quarters due to higher sale volumes, increased staffing in its RV dealership locations and program costs. If, for any reason, the Company miscalculates the demand for its products or its product mix during the second and third fiscal quarters, its 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 the Company’s annual results of operations to suffer and its stock price to decline.

Additionally, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of gross profit tend to be higher in the first and fourth quarters due to the seasonality of the Company’s business.

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This standard clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction that prohibits the sale of an equity security, and requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security. The standard should be applied prospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2021-08 as of January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities―Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This standard requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about the program to allow users to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. Most of the disclosures are required only in annual reporting periods, except for the amount of obligation outstanding to be disclosed at each interim reporting period. The standard should be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which should be applied prospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the disclosure of rollforward

information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. As the Company already included many of the required disclosures in the financial statement footnotes prior to issuance, the adoption of the required provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2023 did not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. For public companies, this standard requires the amortization of leasehold improvements associated with common control leases over the useful life to the common control group. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the provisions of this ASU will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations―Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This ASU requires joint ventures to recognize a new basis of accounting for contributed net assets as of the formation date, to measure the contributed identifiable net assets at fair value on the formation date using the business combination guidance in ASC 805-20 (with certain exceptions) regardless of whether an investor contributes a business, to measure the net assets’ fair value based on 100% of the joint venture’s equity immediately following formation, to record goodwill (or an equity adjustment, if negative) for the difference between the fair value of the joint venture’s equity and its net assets and to provide disclosures about the nature and financial effect of the formation transaction. The standard is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Additionally, for joint ventures that were formed before January 1, 2025, the Company may elect to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the provisions of this ASU will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract Assets

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022 a contract asset of $18.1 million, $18.4 million and $19.5 million, respectively, relating to RV service revenues, was included in accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Revenues

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance, net of estimated refunds that are recorded separately in accrued liabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023,the Company estimates approximately $71.5 million of revenues recognized were included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. These estimates consider factors including, but not limited to, average service term, cash received for the period, cancellations, contract extensions, and upgrades.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations primarily relating to roadside assistance plans, Good Sam Club memberships, Coast to Coast memberships, the annual campground guide, and magazine publication revenue streams. The total unsatisfied performance obligations

for these revenue streams at September 30, 2023 and the periods during which the Company expects to recognize the amounts as revenue are presented as follows (in thousands):

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 (“Floor Plan Lenders”). 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 September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2023, FR maintained floor plan financing through the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Floor Plan Facility”), which was amended in July 2023 (“Floor Plan Amendment”). The Floor Plan Facility at September 30, 2023 allowed FR to borrow (a) up to $1.85 billion under a floor plan facility, an increase by the Floor Plan Amendment from $1.70 billion, (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 maturity date of the Floor Plan Facility is September 30, 2026.

The Floor Plan Facility also includes an accordion feature allowing FR, at its option, to request to increase the aggregate amount of the floor plan notes payable in $50 million increments up to a maximum $300.0 million, which was reset and increased by the Floor Plan Amendment in July 2023 from a maximum of $200.0 million. The Floor Plan Lenders are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any future increase under the accordion feature. Also, the Floor Plan Amendment increased the percentage of the aggregate amount of the floor plan notes payable that may be used to finance used RV inventory to 30% from 20%. No incremental funds were drawn at the time of closing of the Floor Plan Amendment.

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, the applicable interest rate for the floor plan notes payable under the Floor Plan Facility was 7.27%, 6.01%, and 4.30%, 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 (a) the floating Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) plus the applicable rate of 1.90% to 2.50% determined based on FR’s consolidated current ratio, or, (b) 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 September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, the applicable interest rate for revolving line of credit borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility was 7.62%, 6.21%, and 4.65%, 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, which did not limit the borrowing capacity at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

The Floor Plan Facility includes a flooring line aggregate interest reduction (“FLAIR”) offset account that allows the Company to transfer cash to the Floor Plan Lenders 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, FR had $207.4 million, $217.7 million, and $218.6 million, respectively, in the FLAIR offset account. The maximum FLAIR percentage of outstanding floor plan borrowings is 35% under the Floor Plan Facility. The FLAIR offset account does not reduce the outstanding amount of loans under the Floor Plan Facility for purposes of determining the unencumbered borrowing capacity under the Floor Plan Facility.

Management has determined that the credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility includes subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management believes that no events have occurred at September 30, 2023 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause. Additionally, the credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility contains certain financial covenants. FR was in compliance with all debt covenants at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

The following table details the outstanding amounts and available borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

(1)The short-term payable represents the amount due for sold inventory. A payment for any floor plan units sold is due within three to ten business days of sale. Due to the short-term nature of these payables, the Company reclassifies the amounts from notes payable‒floor plan, net to accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the vehicle floor plan payable are reported as cash flows from financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
(2)Purchase commitments represent vehicles approved for floor plan financing where the inventory has not yet been received by the Company from the supplier and no floor plan borrowing is outstanding.

Restructuring – 2019 Strategic Shift

On September 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of CWH approved a plan (the “2019 Strategic Shift”) 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, two distribution centers, and 20 specialty retail locations relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had completed the store closures and divestitures relating to 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.

As of December 31, 2021, the activities under the 2019 Strategic Shift were completed with the exception of certain 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, which initially was in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and these delays are 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 $122.7 million to $131.3 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 was incurred through December 31, 2020;
lease termination costs of $20.0 million to $27.0 million, of which $19.4 million has been incurred through September 30, 2023;
incremental inventory reserve charges of $57.4 million, all of which was incurred through December 31, 2021; and
other associated costs of $44.1 million to $45.7 million, of which $44.1 million has been incurred through September 30, 2023.

Through September 30, 2023, the Company has incurred $44.1 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 up to $1.6 million represents similar costs that may be incurred through the year ending December 31, 2023 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 expects that certain of the remaining leases under the 2019 Strategic Shift will be under contract to sublease or terminated by December 31, 2023. The remaining ongoing other associated costs, net of associated sublease income, are expected to be immaterial in periods after December 31, 2023. 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 following table details the costs incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 associated with the 2019 Strategic Shift (in thousands):

(1)Lease termination costs exclude the $7.6 million, $0.9 million and $3.9 million of gains from the derecognition of the operating lease assets and liabilities relating to the terminated leases as part of the 2019 Strategic Shift for the 2.5 years ended December 31, 2021, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and for the three months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
(2)Other associated costs primarily represent labor, lease and other operating expenses incurred during the post-close wind-down period for the locations related to the 2019 Strategic Shift.

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.

Restructuring – Active Sports

On March 1, 2023, management of the Company determined to implement plans (the “Active Sports Restructuring”) to exit and restructure operations of its indirect subsidiary, Active Sports, LLC, a specialty products retail business (“Active Sports”) as part of its review of underperforming assets and business lines. Upon liquidating a significant amount of inventory and exiting the related distribution centers, the Company reevaluated its exit plan and concluded instead that it would integrate the remaining operations into its existing distribution and fulfillment infrastructure while maintaining lower inventory levels and a smaller fixed cost structure. These plans have resulted in a much smaller operation and included the closure of the specialty retail location.

The activities under the Active Sports Restructuring are expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2023. The total restructuring costs associated with the Active Sports Restructuring are estimated

to be in the range of $5.2 million to $5.5 million. The breakdown of the estimated restructuring costs are as follows:

one-time employee termination benefits relating to the specialty retail store and distribution center closures of $0.2 million, all of which has been incurred through September 30, 2023;
incremental inventory reserve charges of $3.9 million, all of which has been incurred through September 30, 2023;
lease termination charges of $0.4 million, all of which has been incurred through September 30, 2023; and
other associated costs of $0.7 million to $1.0 million, of which $0.7 million has been incurred through September 30, 2023.

The incremental inventory reserve charges are based, in part, on the Company’s estimates of the discounting necessary to liquidate the Active Sports inventory. However, additional incremental inventory reserve charges may be recorded in future periods if discounting in excess of those estimates is necessary.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge totaling $6.6 million related to the Active Sports Restructuring, of which $4.5 million related to intangible assets, and $2.1 million related to other long-lived asset categories.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had indicators of impairment of the long-lived assets for certain locations based on the Company’s review of location performance in the normal course of business, which included the determination to close certain locations. Certain of these location closures are expected to occur during the three months ended December 31, 2023. As a result of updating certain assumptions in the long-lived asset impairment analysis for these locations, the Company determined that the fair value of certain long-lived assets were below their carrying value and were impaired.

The long-lived asset impairment charges were calculated as the amount that the carrying value of these 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. Estimated fair value is typically based on estimated discounted future cash flows, while property appraisals or market rent analyses are utilized for determining the fair value of certain assets related to properties and leases.

5. Assets Held for Sale

The Company continually evaluates its portfolio for non-strategic assets and classifies assets and liabilities to be sold (“Disposal Group”) as held for sale in the period in which all specified GAAP criteria are met. Upon determining that a Disposal Group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, but does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations, the Company reports the assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group, if material, as separate line items on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and ceases to record depreciation and amortization relating to the Disposal Group.

The Company initially measures a Disposal Group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a Disposal

Group until the date of sale. The estimated fair value for Disposal Groups comprised of properties are typically based on appraisals and/or offers from prospective buyers.

As of September 30, 2023, two properties from the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, relating to a closed RV dealership and real estate, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, one of these properties had associated secured borrowings under the Company’s Real Estate Facilities (see Note 7 Long-Term Debt for definition and further details), which will require payment of the associated balance upon sale of the property.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, was party to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for senior secured credit facilities (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”). Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company has the ability to request 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 Term Loan Facility requires mandatory principal payments in equal quarterly installments of $3.5 million. The December 31, 2022 principal payment was due in January 2023, since December 31, 2022 was on a Saturday. 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 does not expect that an additional excess cash flow payment will be required relating to 2023.

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.

As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, the average interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 7.95%, 6.80%, and 5.34%, respectively, and the effective interest rate was 8.19%, 7.03%, and 5.32%, respectively.

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 believes that no events have occurred at September 30, 2023 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 September 30, 2023, the Company was not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 35% threshold, however the Company’s borrowing capacity was reduced by $37.3 million in light of this covenant. The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

Real Estate Facilities

On October 27, 2022, subsidiaries of FRHP Lincolnshire, LLC (“FRHP”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, entered into a credit agreement with a syndication of banks for a real estate credit facility (the “M&T Real Estate Facility”) with aggregate maximum principal capacity of $250.0 million with an option that allows FRHP to request an additional $100.0 million of principal capacity. The lenders under the M&T Real Estate Facility are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase. The M&T Real Estate Facility bears interest at FRHP’s option of either (as defined in the credit agreement for the M&T Real Estate Facility): (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable rate of 2.30% or (b) the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.80%, (ii) the Prime Rate plus 1.30%, or (iii) SOFR plus 2.30%. The M&T Real Estate Facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.20% of the aggregate unused principal amount and it matures in October 2027. Additionally, the M&T Real Estate Facility is subject to a debt service coverage ratio covenant (as defined in the credit agreement for the M&T Real Estate Facility). All obligations under the M&T Real Estate Facility and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by the mortgaged real property assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, FRHP borrowed an additional $59.2 million under the M&T Real Estate Facility.

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 CIBC Real Estate Facility”, the “Second CIBC Real Estate Facility”, and the “Third CIBC Real Estate Facility”, respectively, and collectively the “CIBC Real Estate Facilities”) with aggregate maximum principal capacities of $21.5 million, $9.0 million, and $10.1 million for the First CIBC Real Estate Facility, Second CIBC Real Estate Facility, and Third CIBC Real Estate Facility, respectively. Borrowings under the CIBC Real Estate Facilities are guaranteed by CWGS Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC. The CIBC Real Estate Facilities may be used to finance the acquisition of real estate assets. The CIBC Real Estate Facilities are secured by a first priority security interest on the real estate assets acquired with the proceeds of the CIBC Real Estate Facilities (“CIBC Real Estate Facility Properties”).

In June 2023, the Real Estate Borrower sold one of the CIBC Real Estate Facility Properties located in Franklin, Kentucky, which was secured by the Second CIBC Real Estate Facility. As part of the settlement of the property sale, the outstanding balance of the Second CIBC Real Estate Facility of $7.4 million was repaid by the Real Estate Borrower. The First CIBC Real Estate Facility was amended in October 2023 to extend the maturity date from October 2023 to October 2028. The Third CIBC Real Estate Facility matures in December 2026.

The following table shows a summary of the outstanding balances, remaining available borrowings, and weighted average interest rate under the M&T Real Estate Facility and the CIBC Real Estate Facilities (collectively the “Real Estate Facilities”) at September 30, 2023:

Management has determined that the credit agreements governing the Real Estate Facilities include subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management believes that no events

have occurred at September 30, 2023 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 September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

Other Long-Term Debt

In December 2021, FRHP assumed a mortgage as part of a real estate purchase. This mortgage is secured by the acquired property, is guaranteed by CWGS Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC and matures in December 2026. In June 2023, FRHP assumed a promissory note as part of a real estate purchase. This note is secured by the acquired property and matures in April 2041. As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of these debt instruments was $8.3 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.27%.

Sale-Leaseback Arrangement Recorded as Financing Transaction

On February 8, 2022, FRHP 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 agreed to 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 non-land 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 sheets.

9. 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.

For floor plan notes payable under the Floor Plan Facility, the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

Litigation

Weissmann Complaint

On June 22, 2021, FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC (“FR Holdco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, 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”) (the “Weissmann Complaint”). On October 8, 2021, Weissmann brought a counterclaim against FR Holdco and third-party defendants Marcus Lemonis, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, the Consumer National Broadcasting Company, Camping World, Inc. (“CW”), 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 FR Holdco and all third-party defendants, including CW: (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; (x) unjust enrichment; and (xi) 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”). On May 5, 2022, an agreed order was filed staying the litigation in favor of arbitration. On May 31, 2022, FR Holdco filed an arbitration demand against Weissmann for collection on the Note. Weissmann filed his response and counterclaims, and third-party claims against FR Holdco, CW, Marcus Lemonis, NBCUniversal, and Machete on July 7, 2022. On or about July 21, 2022, FR Holdco and the other respondents filed their responses and affirmative defenses. The arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin March 11, 2024.

Tumbleweed Complaint

On November 10, 2021, Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, Inc. (“Tumbleweed”) filed a complaint against FR Holdco, CW, Marcus Lemonis, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, and Machete Productions in which Tumbleweed alleges claims in connection with the Note and its appearance on the reality television show The

Profit (the “Tumbleweed Complaint”), seeking primarily monetary damages. Tumbleweed alleges the following claims against the defendants, including FR Holdco and CW: (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 FR Holdco, CW, and Marcus Lemonis, compelling Tumbleweed’s claims to arbitration. Tumbleweed served its arbitration demand on FR Holdco, CW, and Marcus Lemonis on May 17, 2022. FR Holdco, CW, and Marcus Lemonis filed responses and affirmative defenses on May 31, 2022. On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the JAMS streamlined arbitration rules, the Tumbleweed Complaint was consolidated together with the Weissmann Complaint. The parties have exchanged discovery. The arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin March 11, 2024.

Precise Complaint

On May 3, 2022, Lynn E. Feldman, Esquire, in her capacity as the Chapter 7 Trustee (the “Trustee”) for the Estate of Precise Graphix, LLC (the “Precise Estate”) filed a complaint against NBCUniversal Media, LLC, Machete Corporation, and CW in which the Trustee alleges claims on behalf of the Precise Estate in connection with its appearance on The Profit and subsequent commercial relationship with CW (the “Precise Complaint”), seeking primarily monetary damages from CW. The Trustee alleges the following claims against defendants, including CW: (i) fraud; (ii) false promise; (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; (iv) breach of contract; (v) breach of oral contract; (vi) fraud in the inducement; (vii) negligent misrepresentation; (viii) fraudulent concealment; (ix) conspiracy; (x) unlawful business practices in violation of California Business and Professions Code §17200; (xi) aiding and abetting; (xii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (xiii) declaratory judgment. The Trustee did not serve the Precise Complaint on CW. On July 3, 2022, the Precise Estate filed its arbitration demand against CW, NBCUniversal, and Machete alleging substantially similar claims as the Precise Complaint. On April 4, 2023, the Precise Estate’s arbitration demand was tried before a single arbitrator pursuant to the JAMS streamlined arbitration rules in a confidential arbitration hearing. On May 31, 2023, the Arbitration was concluded and an award was entered by the Arbitrator against the Precise Estate in the amount of $7.1 million (the “Final Award”), of which CW would be entitled to $3.7 million. On June 13, 2023, the Trustee filed a notice of appeal of the Final Award with JAMS. On June 29, 2023, CW advanced the Trustee’s portion of the fee required by JAMS to advance the appeal. On July 5, 2023, CW filed an application in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the “USBC”) seeking an order, inter alia, allowing the JAMS fee as an administrative expense of the Precise Estate. On July 14, 2023, the Trustee and respondents, including CW, filed a stipulation and agreed order (the “Stipulation”) as follows: (1) upon approval and entry of the Stipulation, CW’s claim for $3,500 shall be allowed and reimbursed; (2) the Trustee will notify JAMS that she is irrevocably withdrawing and ending her pending appeal of the Final Award; and (3) the Trustee will not dispute the amount of the Final Award. On July 17, 2023, the USBC entered the Stipulation as an order, which became final upon the expiration of the ten (10) day appeal period. Precise withdrew its appeal and on August 14, 2023 JAMS closed the arbitration. On September 25, 2023, the Superior Court of the State of California, upon motion by defendants, confirmed the arbitration award. On October 6, 2023, defendants filed an application in the matter of In re: Precise Graphix, LLC, pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking to have the fee award deemed an administrative expense in the Precise Estate. Hearing on the application is set for November 9, 2023.

General

While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company does not have sufficient information to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss for the matters discussed above. 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 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 September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, outstanding standby letters of credit issued through our Floor Plan Facility were $11.3 million, $11.4 million, and $11.4 million, respectively, and outstanding standby letters of credit issued through the Senior Secured Credit Facilities were $4.9 million, $4.9 million, and $4.9 million, respectively (see Note 3 — Inventories and Floor Plan Payables and Note 7 — Long-Term Debt). As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, outstanding surety bonds were $24.6 million, $22.0 million, and $20.7 million, respectively. The underlying liabilities to which these instruments relate are reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, where applicable. Therefore, no additional liability is reflected for the letters of credit and surety bonds themselves.

12. Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, subsidiaries of the Company acquired the assets of multiple RV dealerships, as well as an outdoor publication during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, that constituted businesses under GAAP. The Company used cash and borrowings under its Floor Plan Facility to complete the acquisitions. The Company considers acquisitions of independent dealerships to be a fast and capital efficient alternative to opening new RV dealership locations to expand its business and grow its customer base. Additionally, the Company considered the 2022 acquisition of the outdoor publication as a furtherance of its strategy to target a younger demographic of RV enthusiasts. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of various RV dealerships comprised of 15 locations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $150.5 million, of which three RV dealerships had not opened by September 30, 2023. Separate from these acquisitions, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company purchased real property for an aggregate purchase price of $69.5 million, of which $5.2 million was paid through the assumption of the related promissory note (see Note 7 — Long-Term Debt — Other Long-Term Debt).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the RV and Outdoor Retail segment acquired the assets of various RV dealerships comprised of five locations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $79.8 million. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Good Sam Services and Plans segment acquired the assets of the outdoor publication for $3.4 million. Separate from these acquisitions, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company purchased real property for an aggregate purchase price of $41.7 million.

The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions discussed above consist of the following, net of insignificant measurement period adjustments relating to acquisitions from the respective previous year:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the fair values above include measurement period adjustments for valuation of acquired inventories relating to dealership acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2022. The measurement period relating to dealership acquisitions is typically open for twelve months from the acquisition date, primarily for refining the estimate of the fair value of acquired vehicle inventories.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, acquired goodwill of $65.7 million and $49.6 million, respectively, was expected to be deductible for tax purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Good Sam Services and Plans segment acquisition of the outdoor publication resulted in the recognition of intangible assets for trademarks and trade names of $2.1 million and other intangible assets of $0.5 million with estimated useful lives of 15 years and 3 years, respectively.

Included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were revenue of $60.5 million and $39.4 million, respectively, and pre-tax loss of $2.4 million and pre-tax income of $1.4 million, respectively, from 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.

In October 2023, the Company announced its intent to acquire the assets of a consortium of twelve RV dealerships. The reasons for this acquisition and the primary items generating the goodwill are consistent with the previous RV dealership acquisitions discussed above.  The Company anticipates that the acquisition will close by December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes

13. Income Taxes

CWH is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, as of September 30, 2023, is a 52.8% owner of CWGS, LLC (see Note 16 — 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. However, certain CWGS, LLC subsidiaries, including Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc. and FreedomRoads RV, Inc. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, are subject to entity-level taxes as they are Subchapter C corporations (“C-Corps”).

LLC Conversion

CW, including certain of its subsidiaries, were previously taxable as C-Corps and subject to entity-level taxes. CW had historically generated operating losses for tax purposes. Only losses subject to taxes in certain state jurisdictions were available to offset taxable income generated by the Company’s other businesses. The Company completed the steps necessary to convert CW and certain of its subsidiaries from C-Corps to LLCs with an effective date of January 2, 2023 (the “LLC Conversion”). All required filings for the conversion to LLCs were made by December 31, 2022. Accordingly, the effect of the LLC Conversion was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022, pursuant to the rules prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, as the filings were perfunctory. Beginning with the year ending December 31, 2023, the operating losses of CW and its subsidiaries will offset taxable income generated by the Company’s other LLC businesses. As a result, both income tax expense recognized by CWH and the amount of required tax distributions paid to holders of common units in CWGS, LLC, under the CWGS LLC Agreement, will decrease. The LLC Conversion has allowed the Company to more easily integrate its retail and dealership operations and more seamlessly share resources within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, while providing an expected future cash flow benefit for the operating companies.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.7 million related to the LLC Conversion. Additionally, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $4.3 million related to an entity classification election for an entity included in the LLC Conversion filed in the third quarter of 2023. The election is effective as of the date of the LLC Conversion.

Effective Income Tax Rate

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's effective income tax rate was 14.9%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies, which are not subject to entity level taxes, and the benefit for certain entity classification elections described above.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's effective income tax rate was 15.7%, 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 entity level taxes, net of income tax benefits of $0.8 million related to current state combined unitary losses. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 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 15 — Stockholders’ Equity). These treasury stock repurchases result in a commensurate reduction in common units in CWGS, LLC held by CWH.

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 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.

On January 1, 2023, giftees of common units that had been gifted by CWGS Holding, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ML Acquisition Company, LLC, which is indirectly owned by Marcus Lemonis, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, redeemed 2.0 million common units in CWGS, LLC for 2.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (see Note 16 — Non-Controlling Interests). The increase in deferred tax assets, the non-current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, and additional paid-in capital resulting from these redemptions was $6.3 million, $5.4 million, and $0.9 million, respectively. Payments pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement relating to these redemptions will begin during the year ending December 31, 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 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 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 this redemption began during the year ending December 31, 2023.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not repurchase Class A common stock under the stock repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 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 was recorded as treasury stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Class A common stock held as treasury stock is not considered outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company reissued 339,230 and 540,646 shares of Class A common stock from treasury stock, respectively, to settle the exercises of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units.

Repurchases under the stock repurchase 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. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining approved amount for repurchases of Class A common stock under the share repurchase program was approximately $120.2 million and the program expires on December 31, 2025.

16. Non-Controlling Interests

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 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).

The following table summarizes the CWGS, LLC common unit ownership by CWH and the Continuing Equity Owners:

During December 2022, CWGS Holding, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ML Acquisition Company, LLC, which is indirectly owned by each of Stephen Adams, a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Marcus Lemonis, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer gifted 2,000,000 common units of CWGS, LLC in total to a college and hospital (“2022 Common Unit Giftees”), which resulted in the corresponding 2,000,000 shares of Class B common stock being transferred to the 2022 Common Unit Giftees. On January 1, 2023, the 2022 Common Unit Giftees redeemed the 2,000,000 common units of CWGS, LLC for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which also resulted in the cancellation of

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

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 a fair statement 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 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, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

CWH has sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC (see Note 15 — 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 September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, CWH owned 52.8%, 50.2%, and 50.1%, 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.

Cybersecurity Incident

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 the occurrence of 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, which was completed as of September 30, 2022. The Company is continuing to take measures to enhance its IT Systems. Through its investigation, the Company identified that personal information of approximately 30,000 individuals was acquired without authorization, including, depending on the individual, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. The Company complied with notification obligations in accordance with relevant law and cooperated with law enforcement.

The Company has incurred costs related to investigation, containment, and remediation and expects to continue to incur incremental costs for the 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,

and regulatory enforcement action. In December 2022, three putative class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries arising out of the Cybersecurity Incident. On March 30, 2023, the Company and plaintiffs reached an agreement in principle to resolve the putative class action complaints for an immaterial amount subject to the execution of a settlement agreement and court approval. On April 11, 2023, for purposes of effectuating the settlement reached with Company, the original complaints were dismissed and refiled as a combined state court complaint. On June 15, 2023, the parties executed the settlement agreement. On June 28, 2023, the plaintiffs’ attorneys in the combined state court case filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement. On August 10, 2023 the court held a hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement hearing at which time the court requested additional information. On September 28, 2023, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement without prejudice. The next hearing date is December 5, 2023.

The Company does not expect that the Cybersecurity Incident will cause future disruptions to its business or that the Cybersecurity Incident, including anticipated costs associated with pending litigation, will have a future material impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition.

Seasonality

Seasonality

The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income, and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in its 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.

The Company generates a disproportionately higher amount of its annual revenue in its second and third fiscal quarters, which include the spring and summer months. The Company incurs additional expenses in the second and third fiscal quarters due to higher sale volumes, increased staffing in its RV dealership locations and program costs. If, for any reason, the Company miscalculates the demand for its products or its product mix during the second and third fiscal quarters, its 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 the Company’s annual results of operations to suffer and its stock price to decline.

Additionally, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of gross profit tend to be higher in the first and fourth quarters due to the seasonality of the Company’s business.

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This standard clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction that prohibits the sale of an equity security, and requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security. The standard should be applied prospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2021-08 as of January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities―Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This standard requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about the program to allow users to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. Most of the disclosures are required only in annual reporting periods, except for the amount of obligation outstanding to be disclosed at each interim reporting period. The standard should be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which should be applied prospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the disclosure of rollforward

information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. As the Company already included many of the required disclosures in the financial statement footnotes prior to issuance, the adoption of the required provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2023 did not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. For public companies, this standard requires the amortization of leasehold improvements associated with common control leases over the useful life to the common control group. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the provisions of this ASU will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations―Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This ASU requires joint ventures to recognize a new basis of accounting for contributed net assets as of the formation date, to measure the contributed identifiable net assets at fair value on the formation date using the business combination guidance in ASC 805-20 (with certain exceptions) regardless of whether an investor contributes a business, to measure the net assets’ fair value based on 100% of the joint venture’s equity immediately following formation, to record goodwill (or an equity adjustment, if negative) for the difference between the fair value of the joint venture’s equity and its net assets and to provide disclosures about the nature and financial effect of the formation transaction. The standard is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Additionally, for joint ventures that were formed before January 1, 2025, the Company may elect to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the provisions of this ASU will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

(1)The short-term payable represents the amount due for sold inventory. A payment for any floor plan units sold is due within three to ten business days of sale. Due to the short-term nature of these payables, the Company reclassifies the amounts from notes payable‒floor plan, net to accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the vehicle floor plan payable are reported as cash flows from financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
(2)Purchase commitments represent vehicles approved for floor plan financing where the inventory has not yet been received by the Company from the supplier and no floor plan borrowing is outstanding.
