Champion Homes reported stronger demand in its fiscal second quarter ended September 26, 2026, while higher material costs continued to pressure profitability. The company released the results on November 3, with the Business Wire release carried by Yahoo Finance providing the figures.

Orders Strengthen Despite Cost Pressure

Net sales rose 6.2 percent year over year to USD 727.0 million. U.S. home deliveries increased 2.3 percent to 6,724 units, while the average selling price rose 4.1 percent to USD 102,700 per home.

Manufacturing orders increased 17 percent from the prior-year quarter, lifting the backlog to approximately USD 500 million. Adjusted gross profit margin reached 25.5 percent, but net income attributable to Champion Homes fell to USD 52.7 million from USD 58.2 million a year earlier as inflation raised the cost of sales.

Champion Homes also repurchased and retired USD 50.0 million of common stock during the quarter. The board refreshed the authorization in October to provide USD 150.0 million of potential future repurchases. The company said higher material costs were partly offset by sales growth and improved price realization.

Retail Expansion Changes The Mix

Captive retail represented approximately 39 percent of consolidated sales, up from 37 percent in the prior-year period. The company is seeking to increase its direct-to-consumer reach through acquisitions, including the planned purchase of Timberline Homes.

Timberline operates nine locations across Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027, subject to customary conditions. Management expects the retail strategy to support both distribution and manufacturing efficiency over time.
