PHOENIX, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO) ("we," "our," the "Company" or "Cavco") today announced financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended December 27, 2025.

On September 29, 2025, we completed the acquisition of American Homestar Corporation, which operates two manufacturing lines, nineteen retail locations and a financial services operation. Since the acquisition date, the results of American Homestar are included in Cavco's consolidated financial statements.

Quarterly Highlights

Net revenue was $581.0 million, up $59 million or 11.3% compared to $522.0 million in the third quarter of the prior year, primarily on home sales volume and average selling price per home growth.
Home sales volume was up 3.2% and capacity utilization decreased to approximately 70% from approximately 75% in the third quarter of the prior year.
Factory-built housing Gross profit as a percentage of Net revenue was 21.7%, compared to 23.6% in the same period in the prior year.
Financial services Gross profit as a percentage of Net revenue was 65.2%, compared to Gross profit of 55.5% in the same period in the prior year.
Income before income taxes was $58 million, down $11 million, or 16.9% compared to $69 million in the same period in the prior year.
Net income per diluted share attributable to Cavco common stockholders was $5.58, down 19.1%, compared to $6.90 in the prior year quarter.
American Homestar contributed $42 million to Net revenue with 343 homes sold and $6.9 million of incremental SG&A. Additionally, we had $2.9 million of deal costs in the quarter.
Backlogs totaled $160 million at the end of the quarter representing 4-6 weeks of production.
Stock repurchases were approximately $44 million in the quarter, leaving approximately $98 million available for repurchases under our previously announced Board authorizations.

Commenting on the quarter, President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Boor said, "Industry shipments slowed in the quarter with HUD shipments at a significantly lower pace in the reported October and November period. Our operating approach was to use the backlog and additional days down over the holidays to maintain a steady daily production pace in the factories. Looking forward, affordable housing continues to rise in national policy discussions and as we talk with retailers and communities, the tone in the market remains optimistic. We will be looking to the Spring selling season to determine our ability to increase production from here."

He continued, "Notably, our Financial services segment results continue to be very strong, reflecting the outstanding work to improve profitability of the insurance operation. Additionally, we are now through the first full quarter with American Homestar. This quarter's results expectedly reflect deal costs and integration plan spending. However, as that investment phase concludes we will see the positive impact of this deal, which will exceed our previous expectations."

In the factory-built housing segment, Gross profit increased for the three and nine months ended primarily due to home sales volume and Net revenue per home sold, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales per home sold. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three and nine months ended due primarily to the addition of American Homestar and deal costs in the current period. For the nine months ended, the increase is also due to higher incentive based compensation due to higher earnings compared to the prior year period.
In the financial services segment, Gross profit and Income from operations increased primarily due to the insurance division having higher premiums and lower claims losses. The claims loss reduction resulted from policy underwriting improvements and severe weather events in the prior year periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in both periods primarily due to higher compensation.
