BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--REV Group, Inc. (NYSE: REVG) (the “company”), a manufacturer of industry-leading specialty and recreational vehicles, today reported results for the three months ended April 30, 2025 (“second quarter 2025”). Consolidated net sales in the second quarter 2025 were $629.1 million, compared to $616.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024 (“second quarter 2024”). Net sales for the second quarter 2024 included $32.9 million attributable to the Bus Manufacturing Businesses. Excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, net sales increased $45.1 million, or 7.7% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase, excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, was primarily due to higher net sales in the Specialty Vehicles segment, partially offset by lower net sales in the Recreational Vehicles segment. The company’s second quarter 2025 net income was $19.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, which included a net $13.4 million loss on assets held for sale after considering the related income tax benefit, compared to net income of $15.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2024. Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter 2025 was $35.4 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $20.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2024. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter 2025 was $58.9 million, compared to $37.5 million in the second quarter 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2024 included $1.5 million attributable to Bus Manufacturing Businesses. Excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, Adjusted EBITDA increased $22.9 million, or 63.6% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase, excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, was primarily due to the higher contribution from the Specialty Vehicles segment and lower contribution from the Recreational Vehicles segment. “We are pleased that the second quarter’s performance continued to build upon our recent achievements. The standout this quarter was the sustained year-over-year increase in manufacturing throughput within the fire group, which played a pivotal role in driving our top-line growth,” REV Group Inc. President and CEO, Mark Skonieczny, said. “Within the quarter we utilized our robust cash flow and financial position to repurchase $88 million of shares, which we view as an attractive use of capital. Building on the performance demonstrated through the first half of the fiscal year, we also plan to accelerate certain capital investments to further our manufacturing throughput goals including a $20 million investment in our Brandon, South Dakota location. Today we are updating our full year fiscal guidance with an expectation that year-to-date performance and sustained operational excellence provide a foundation to offset the potential impacts from tariffs.” REV Group Second Quarter Segment Highlights Specialty Vehicles Segment Specialty Vehicles segment net sales were $453.9 million in the second quarter 2025, an increase of $16.5 million, or 3.8%, from $437.4 million in the second quarter 2024. Net sales for the second quarter 2024 included $32.9 million attributable to the Bus Manufacturing Businesses. Excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, net sales increased $49.4 million, or 12.2% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in net sales compared to the prior year quarter, excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, was primarily due to increased shipments of fire apparatus and price realization, partially offset by an unfavorable mix of fire apparatus. Specialty Vehicles segment backlog at the end of the second quarter 2025 was $4,282.0 million compared to $4,064.4 million at the end of the second quarter 2024. Backlog at the end of the second quarter 2024 included $54.8 million related to the Bus Manufacturing Businesses. Excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, backlog increased $272.4 million compared to the prior year quarter. The increase, excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, was primarily due to continued demand and order intake for fire apparatus and ambulance units and pricing actions, partially offset by increased production and shipments of fire apparatus. Specialty Vehicles segment Adjusted EBITDA was $56.3 million in the second quarter 2025, an increase of $22.5 million, or 66.6%, from Adjusted EBITDA of $33.8 million in the second quarter 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2024 included $1.5 million attributable to the Bus Manufacturing Businesses. Excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, Adjusted EBITDA increased $24.0 million, or 74.3% compared to the prior year quarter. Profitability within the segment, excluding the impact of the Bus Manufacturing Businesses, was primarily due to increased shipments of fire apparatus and price realization, partially offset by an unfavorable mix of fire apparatus and inflationary pressures. Recreational Vehicles Segment Recreational Vehicles segment net sales were $175.3 million in the second quarter 2025, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 2.4%, from $179.7 million in the second quarter 2024. The decrease in net sales compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to lower unit shipments and increased dealer assistance, partially offset by pricing actions. Recreational Vehicles segment backlog at the end of the second quarter 2025 was $267.9 million, a decrease of $6.8 million compared to $274.7 million at the end of the second quarter 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of lower order intake in certain categories. Recreational Vehicles segment Adjusted EBITDA was $10.9 million in the second quarter 2025, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 9.9%, from $12.1 million in the second quarter 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower unit shipments and increased dealer assistance on certain models, partially offset by pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives. Working Capital, Liquidity, and Capital Allocation Net debt3 totaled $101.2 million as of April 30, 2025, including $28.8 million cash on hand. The company had $263.2 million available under its ABL revolving credit facility as of April 30, 2025, a decrease of $86.4 million compared to the October 30, 2024 availability of $349.6 million. On February 20, 2025, the Company amended its ABL Facility, extending the maturity, reducing the size of the facility and modifying certain terms. Details can be found in the Form 8-K filed on February 24, 2025. During the second quarter 2025, the company repurchased approximately 2.9 million of its common shares for $88.4 million at an average purchase price of $30.70 per share, excluding commissions, fees and excise taxes. As of April 30, 2025, authorization to purchase approximately $142.4 million of shares remained under the current share repurchase program. Trade working capital4 for the company as of April 30, 2025 was $207.3 million, compared to $248.2 million as of October 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of accounts payable payments, lower inventory purchases, and higher receipts of customer advances, partially offset by the timing of accounts receivable collections. Capital expenditures in the second quarter 2025 were $11.4 million compared to $5.9 million in the second quarter 2024. Updated Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook Quarterly Dividend The company’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.06 per share of common stock, payable on July 11, 2025, to shareholders of record on June 27, 2025, which equates to a rate of $0.24 per share of common stock on an annualized basis.

Investors-REVG. Note Regarding Non-GAAP Measures The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that the evaluation of our ongoing operating results may be enhanced by a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income or net loss before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, as adjusted for certain non-recurring, one-time and other adjustments which we believe are not indicative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted Net Income represents net income or net loss as adjusted for certain after-tax, non-recurring, one-time and other adjustments, which we believe are not indicative of our underlying operating performance. Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures. The company believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow provide additional meaningful methods of evaluating certain aspects of its operating performance from period to period on a basis that may not be otherwise apparent under GAAP when used in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP measures. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Free Cash Flow to the most closely comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is included in the financial appendix of this release.
