Exhibit 99.1

Camping World Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results, Total Unit Sales of 32,330

Exceeds 2022, Rigorous Inventory Discipline and Continued Acquisitions Set Stage for Improved 2024

LINCOLNSHIRE, IL – November 1, 2023 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Camping World Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CWH) (the “Company” or “CWH”), America’s Recreation Dealer, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Camping World Holdings, Inc. stated, “We are laser focused on the final stages of cleansing our inventory going into 2024. These actions have come with near-term gross margin compression, but we believe now is the moment to put the finishing touches on our industry-leading inventory position and prepare the business for the next up-cycle. In 2024, we expect total company revenue, same store unit sales, total gross margin, and earnings to increase year over year.”

Third Quarter-over-Quarter Operating Highlights

●

Revenue was $1.7 billion for the third quarter, a decrease of $126.1 million, or 6.8%.

●

Used vehicle revenue was a record $590.2 million for the third quarter, an increase of $64.2 million, or 12.2%, and used vehicle unit sales were a record 17,125 units, an increase of 2,665 units, or 18.4%.

●

New vehicle revenue was $679.2 million for the third quarter, a decline of $154.9 million, or 18.6%, and new vehicle unit sales were 15,205 units, a decrease of 2,411 units, or 13.7%.

●

Average selling price of new and used vehicles declined 5.7% and 5.2%, respectively, during the third quarter. As the procurement prices of model year 2024 new vehicles declined compared to model years 2022 and 2023, the Company actively discounted certain used vehicles during the third quarter to reduce inventory levels of aged used vehicles.

●

Products, service and other revenue was $235.6 million for the third quarter, a decline of $33.3 million, or 12.4%. The decrease was driven largely by lower demand and lower stocking levels of lifestyle, activities, design, and home products, as well as declines in our direct to manufacturer RV furniture revenues due to RV manufacturer production slowdowns and discounting related to our Active Sports Restructuring.

●

Same store used vehicle unit sales increased 10.9% for the third quarter, and same store new vehicle unit sales decreased 21.5%.

●

Gross profit was $523.1 million, a decrease of $70.6 million, or 11.9%. Total gross margin was 30.2%, a decrease of 175 basis points. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was driven largely by the decrease in average selling price of new and used vehicles discussed above. The decrease in finance and insurance, net gross profit was partially offset by improved retention on finance and insurance products, which drove favorable adjustments to reserves in the third quarter of 2023. Good Sam Services and Plans gross profit and gross margin was favorably impacted by finalizing contract negotiations to exit an arrangement with a service partner in the quarter.

●

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $415.3 million, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 0.9%, primarily as a result of our efforts to reduce expenses. In the quarter, the Company closed two underperforming retail stores and one distribution center, whose leases were successfully terminated. These cost reductions were partially offset by additional employee compensation and facility costs resulting from the 8.3% increase in store location count to 209 at September 30, 2023 from 193 at September 30, 2022.

●

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company made the decision to consolidate or close seven underperforming dealership locations in order to redeploy working capital to higher returning investments.

●

Floor plan interest expense was $19.8 million, an increase of $10.3 million, or 108.9%, and other interest expense, net was $35.2 million, an increase of $14.7 million, or 71.7%. These increases were primarily as a result of the rise in interest rates.

●

Net income was $30.9 million, a decrease of $72.1 million, or 70.0%, driven primarily by the pretax $71.7 million decrease in new and used vehicle gross profit, the $14.7 million increase in other interest expense, net, and the $10.3 million increase in floor plan interest, which was partially offset by the $3.8 million decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses and lower income tax expense from net reductions of pretax income.

●

Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock was $0.32 in 2023 versus diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock of $0.97 in 2022. Adjusted earnings per share - diluted⁽¹⁾ of Class A common stock was $0.39 in 2023 versus adjusted earnings per share – diluted⁽¹⁾of Class A common stock of $1.07 in 2022.

●

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $95.0 million, a decrease of $78.4 million, or 45.2%, driven primarily by the $71.7 million decrease in new and used vehicle gross profit and the $10.3 million increase in floor plan interest, which was partially offset by the $3.8 million decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses⁽²⁾.

⁽¹⁾

Adjusted earnings per share – diluted and adjusted EBITDA 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⁾

The $3.8 million decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses includes a $1.3 million decrease in equity-based compensation. Equity-based compensation is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA (see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section later in this press release).

Comparison of Certain Trends to Pre-COVID-19 Pandemic Periods

Beginning in the first quarter of 2021 and continuing through the first quarter of 2023, the Company experienced sequential decreases in new vehicle gross margin, primarily due to the higher cost of new vehicles resulting from the lower industry supply of travel trailers and motorhomes for much of 2021. Additionally, new and used vehicle gross margins have declined for each of the first three quarters of 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. However, third quarter 2023 new vehicle gross margins were slightly higher than a similar range that the Company experienced in the third quarter pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of 2016 to 2019, which we believe are more typical demand environments than during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the third quarter of 2023, as the procurement prices of model year 2024 new vehicles declined compared to model years 2022 and 2023, the Company actively discounted certain used vehicles to reduce inventory levels of aged used vehicles. This discounting had a negative impact on used vehicle gross margins during the third quarter of 2023.

Additionally, the percentage of total unit sales relating to used vehicles was significantly higher in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods of 2016 to 2019. The Company is continuing to execute on its used vehicle strategy, which differentiates it from the competition with proprietary tools, such as the RV Valuator, a focus on the development and retention of its service technician team, and investment in its service bay infrastructure.

The following table presents vehicle gross margin and unit sales mix for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and pre-COVID-19 pandemic periods for the three months ended September 30, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016 (unaudited):

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock (unaudited):

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, trailing twelve-month (“TTM”) Adjusted EBITDA, 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 (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. 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.

For periods beginning after December 31, 2022, we are no longer including the other associated costs category of expenses relating to the 2019 Strategic Shift as restructuring costs for purposes of our Non-GAAP Financial Measures, since these costs are not expected to be significant in future periods.

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 income before other interest expense, net (excluding floor plan interest expense), provision for income tax expense 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, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the Active Sports Restructuring and the 2019 Strategic Shift, (gain) loss and 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 income attributable to Camping World Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash 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, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, restructuring costs related to the Active Sports Restructuring and the 2019 Strategic Shift, loss and impairment on investments in equity securities, other unusual or one-time items, the income tax expense effect of these adjustments, and the effect of net 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.

(a)	Represents long-lived asset impairment charges related to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment.

(b)

Represents the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit effect of the above adjustments. For periods that ended on or before December 31, 2022, many of these adjustments were related to entities with full valuation allowances for which no tax benefit could be recognized. This assumption uses effective tax rates between 25.1% and 25.4% for the adjustments for the 2023 and 2022 periods, which represent the estimated tax rates that would apply had the above adjustments been included in the determination of our non-GAAP metric.

(c)	Represents the loss on termination of operating leases resulting from the lease termination fees and the derecognition of the operating lease assets and liabilities.

(d)	Represents an adjustment to eliminate the gains and losses on disposals and sales of various assets.

(e)	Represents non-cash equity-based compensation expense relating to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.

(f)	Represents an adjustment to eliminate the gain on remeasurement of the Tax Receivable Agreement primarily due to changes in the Company’s blended statutory income tax rate.

(g)

Represents restructuring costs relating to the Active Sports Restructuring during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the 2019 Strategic Shift for periods that ended on or before December 31, 2022. These restructuring costs include one-time termination benefits, incremental inventory reserve charges, and other associated costs. These costs exclude lease termination costs, which are presented separately above.

(h)

Represents loss and impairment on investments in equity securities and interest income relating to any notes receivables with those investments for periods beginning after December 31, 2022. Amounts relating to periods prior to 2023 were not significant. These amounts are included in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, this amount included a $1.3 million impairment on an equity method investment.

(i)

Represents the adjustment to net income attributable to non-controlling interests resulting from the above adjustments that impact the net income of CWGS, LLC. This adjustment uses the non-controlling interest’s weighted average ownership of CWGS, LLC of 47.3% and 50.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 47.3% and 49.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(j)	Represents the reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests from the impact of the assumed change in ownership of CWGS, LLC from stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.

(k)	Represents the income tax expense effect of the above adjustment for reallocation of net income attributable to non-controlling interests. This assumption uses effective tax rates between 25.1% and 25.4% for the adjustments for 2023 and 2022 periods.

(l)

As a result of the LLC Conversion, this adjustment only relates to periods ended on or before December 31, 2022. Typically represents adjustments to reflect the income tax benefit of losses of consolidated C-corporations that under the Company’s previous equity structure, prior to the LLC Conversion, could not be used against the income of other consolidated subsidiaries of CWGS, LLC. Subsequent to the redemption of all common units in CWGS, LLC and prior to the LLC Conversion, the Company believes certain actions could have been taken such that the C-corporations’ losses could offset income of other consolidated subsidiaries. The adjustment reflects the income tax benefit assuming effective tax rate of 25.4% during 2022 for the losses experienced by the consolidated C-corporations for which valuation allowances had been recorded. No assumed release of valuation allowance established for previous periods were included in these amounts. Beginning in 2023, these C-corporation losses offset income of other consolidated subsidiaries as a result of LLC Conversion at or around December 31, 2022.

(m)	Represents the impact to the denominator for stock options, restricted stock units, and/or common units of CWGS, LLC.

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

(o)	Represents the per share impact of the Non-GAAP adjustments to net income detailed above (see (a) through (h) above).

(p)	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 earnings 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 (n) above).
