Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2019March 31, 2020

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. (“CWH”) and its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”), 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).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 fair presentation 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 six months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20182019 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, 20182019 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019.February 28, 2020. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

CWH was formed on March 8, 2016 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the “IPO”)IPO and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of CWGS, Enterprises, LLC (“CWGS, LLC”).LLC. CWGS, LLC was formed in March 2011 when it received, through contribution from its then parent company, all of the membership interests of Affinity Group Holding, LLC and FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC (“FreedomRoads”). The IPO and related reorganization transactions (the “Reorganization Transactions”) that occurred on October 6, 2016 resulted in CWH as the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, with CWH having sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC.LLC (see Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity). Despite its position as sole managing member of CWGS, LLC, CWH has a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC. As of June 30,March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, CWH owned 41.9%42.1% and 42.0%, 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.

The Company has also reclassified a portiontemporarily reduced salaries and hours throughout the business, including for its executive officers, and implemented headcount and other cost reductions in an attempt to better align expenses with reduced sales since the middle of March 2020 and early April 2020 resulting from the former Consumer Services and Plans segment, the Good Sam Club and co-branded credit card operations, to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment which reflects the synergiesimpact of those two programs with the RV and Outdoor Retail locations. The remaining portion of the former Consumer Services and Plans segment is now called the Good Sam Services and Plans segment. The Company’s reportable segment financial information has been recast to reflect the updated reportable segment structure for all periods presented.

This resulted in the sale, closing or divestiture of 34 non-RV retail stores and the liquidation of approximately $108 million of non-RV related inventory in 2019.

In connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company has reduced its number of retail store locations to 168 as of March 31, 2020 from 226 as of March 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, including those uncertainties arising from COVID-19, and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company periodically evaluates estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements and makes changes on a prospective basis when adjustments are necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include certain assumptions related to accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, long lived assets, long-lived asset impairments, program cancellation reserves, chargebacks, and accruals related to self-insurance programs, estimated tax liabilities, product return reserves, and other liabilities.

Contracts in Transit, Accounts Receivable and Current Expected Credit Losses

Contracts in transit consist of amounts due from non-affiliated financing institutions on retail finance contracts from vehicle sales for the portion of the vehicle sales price financed by the Company’s customers. These retail installment sales contracts are typically funded within ten days of the initial approval of the retail installment sales contract by the third-party lender.

Accounts receivable are stated at realizable value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which includes a reserve for expected credit losses. Accounts receivable balances due in excess of one year was $8.6 million at each of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of its customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the composition of the accounts receivable aging, historical bad debts, changes in payment patterns, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Relevant risks characteristics include customer size and historical loss patterns. Management has evaluated the expected credit losses related to contracts in transit and determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was required at either March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Management additionally has evaluated the expected credit losses related to accounts receivable and determined that allowances of approximately $3.5 million for uncollectible accounts were required as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The following table details the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts (in thousands):

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02” or “ASC 842”). The FASB had subsequently issued several related ASUs that clarified the implementation guidance for certain aspects of ASU 2016-02, which were effective upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02. The amendments in this ASU related to the accounting for leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the lease commencement date and recognize expenses on the income statement in a similar manner to the previous guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases ("ASC 840"). The lease liability is measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments and the right-of-use asset is derived from the calculation of the lease liability adjusted for initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments, and lease incentives. Lease payments include fixed and in-substance fixed payments, variable payments based on an index or rate, reasonably certain purchase options, termination penalties where the lease term reflects the election of a termination option, fees paid by the lessee to the owners of a special-purpose entity for restructuring the transaction, and probable amounts the lessee will owe under a residual value guarantee. Lease payments do not include variable lease payments other than those that depend on an index or rate, any guarantee by the lessee of the lessor’s debt, or any amount allocated to non-lease components. The discount rate used to derive the present value of unpaid lease payments is based on the rates implicit in the lease, or if not available, the incremental borrowing rate.

The most significant impact of ASC 842 on the Company’s accounting was the balance sheet impact of its real estate operating leases, which significantly increased assets and liabilities. In addition, ASC 842 eliminated the previous build-to-suit lease accounting guidance and resulted in derecognition of build-to-suit assets and liabilities that remained on the balance sheet after the end of the construction period, including any related deferred taxes. Also, ASC 842 made changes to sale-leaseback accounting to result in the recognition of the gain on the transaction at the time of the sale instead of recognizing over the leaseback period, when the transaction is deemed to be a sale instead of a financing arrangement. ASC 842 further changes the assessment of sale accounting from a transfer of risk and rewards assessment to a transfer of control assessment.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients available under the transition provisions of ASC 842, including (i) not reassessing whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) not revaluing initial direct costs for existing leases. Also, the Company elected the practical expedient which allows aggregation of non-lease components with the related lease components when evaluating accounting treatment for equipment and billboard leases. Lastly, the Company applied the modified retrospective adoption method, utilizing the simplified transition option available in ASC 842, which allows entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in

14

Table of Contents

the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019.

The impact of applying ASC 842 effective as of January 1, 2019, to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows was not significant. The major impacts to the balance sheet were 1) the addition of $809.7 million in operating lease assets, 2) the addition of $867.5 million of operating lease liabilities, 3) the removal of approximately $4.9 million, $10.6 million, $7.6 million, and $54.5 million of property and equipment, net; deferred revenues and gains; accrued liabilities; and other liabilities, respectively, and 4) a cumulative-effect adjustment for the adoption of ASC 842 of $3.7 million and $6.3 million was recorded to retained earnings and non-controlling interests, respectively. The adoption of ASC 842 did not impact any of its existing debt covenants.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires the use of a forward-looking expected loss impairment model for trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. This standard also requires impairments and recoveries for available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance account and revises certain disclosure requirements. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements, which provides guidance on accounting for credit losses on accrued interest receivable balances and guidance on including recoveries when estimating the allowance. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, which allows entities with an option to elect fair value for certain instruments upon adoption of Topic 326. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will adoptadopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that2020 and the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have ondid not materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). This standard aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement (i.e., hosting arrangement) with the guidance on capitalizing costs in ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The ASU permits either a prospective or retrospective transition approach. The standard will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The

Company will adoptadopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020.2020 using the prospective transition approach and the adoption did not materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). This standard, effective for reporting periods through December 31, 2022, provides accounting relief for contract modifications that replace an interest rate impacted by reference rate reform (e.g., London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)) with a new alternative reference rate. The guidance is applicable to investment securities, receivables, loans, debt, leases, derivatives and hedge accounting elections and other contractual arrangements. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 as of January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). This standard reduces complexity by removing specific exceptions to general principles related to intraperiod tax allocations, ownership changes in foreign investments, and interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. This standard also simplifies accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The ASU permits either a retrospective basis or a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of thethis ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, FR maintained floor plan financing through the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Floor Plan Facility”) with. On October 8, 2019, FR entered into a maturity date of December 12, 2020Second Amendment to the Seventh Amended and anRestated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The applicable borrowing rate margin on LIBOR and base rate loans rangingranges from 2.05% to 2.50% and 0.55% and 1.00%, respectively, based on the consolidated current ratio at FR. The Floor Plan Facility allowsat March 31, 2020 allowed FR to borrow (a) up to $1.415$1.38 billion under a floor plan facility, (b) up to $15.0 million under a letter of credit facility and (c) up to a maximum amount outstanding of $60.0$57.0 million under the revolving line of credit, which maximum amount outstanding will decreasefurther decreases by $3.0 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing withquarter.

These transfers reduce the amount of liability outstanding under the floor plan notes payable that would otherwise accrue interest, while retaining the ability to transfer amounts from the Flair offset account into the Company’s operating cash accounts. As a result of using the floor planFlair offset account, the Company experiences a reduction in floor plan interest expense in its consolidated statements of income.operations.

On September 3, 2019, the board of directors of CWH approved a plan 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 closed or divested 36 Outdoor Lifestyle Locations, 3 distribution centers, and 19 specialty retail locations through March 31, 2020. NaN Outdoor Lifestyle Locations were closed in April 2020 and the Company expects that the remaining limited number of store closures and/or divestitures will be completed by December 31, 2020. As part of the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company evaluated the impact on its supporting infrastructure and operations, which included rationalizing inventory levels and composition, closing 3 of its distribution centers, and realigning other resources. The Company had a reduction of headcount and labor costs for those locations that were closed or divested and the Company incurred material charges associated with the activities contemplated under the 2019 Strategic Shift.

In connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company expects to incur, in the aggregate, costs relating to:

one-time employee termination benefits of $1.2 million to $1.5 million, of which $1.2 million has been incurred through March 31, 2020;
lease termination costs of $15.0 million to $20.0 million, of which $5.5 million has been incurred through March 31, 2020;
incremental inventory reserve charges of $42.4 million, of which $42.4 million has been incurred through March 31, 2020; and
other associated costs of $20.0 million to $25.0 million, of which $9.9 million has been incurred through March 31, 2020.

Through March 31, 2020, the Company has incurred $9.9 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 $10.1 million to $15.1 million represents similar costs that may be incurred during the last nine months of 2020 for locations that continue in a wind-down period, primarily comprised of lease costs accounted for under ASC 842 prior to lease termination. The Company intends to negotiate terminations of these leases where prudent and pursue sublease arrangements for the remaining leases. Lease costs may continue to be incurred after December 31, 2020 on these leases if the Company is unable to terminate the leases under acceptable terms or offset the lease costs through sublease arrangements. 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 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had indicators of impairment of the long-lived assets for certain of its locations. For locations that failed the recoverability test based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flows, the Company estimated the fair value of the locations based on a discounted cash flow analysis. After performing the long-lived asset impairment test for these locations, the Company

14

Table of Contents

determined that 10 locations within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment had long-lived assets that were impaired. The long-lived asset impairment charge, subject to limitations described below, was calculated as the amount that the carrying value of the locations exceeded the estimated fair value. The calculated long-lived asset impairment charge was allocated to each of the categories of long-lived assets at each location pro rata based on the long-lived assets’ carrying values, except that individual assets cannot be impaired below their individual fair values when that fair value can be determined without undue cost and effort. For most of these locations, the operating lease right-of-use assets and furniture and equipment were written down to their individual fair values and the remaining impairment charge was allocated to the remaining long-lived assets up to the fair value estimated on these assets based on liquidation value estimates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges relating to leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets of $2.4 million, $2.6 million, and $1.6 million, respectively. Of the $6.6 million long-lived asset impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2020, $6.5 million related to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.

(1)SeeRepresents measurement period adjustments relating to prior period acquisitions (see Note 1011Acquisitions.Acquisitions).

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company’s goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets might be impaired. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then it is required to perform the first step of a two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the Company records an impairment of goodwill equal to the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

As of January 1, 2019,During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company transferred certain assets related todetermined that a triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment test of its RV and Outdoor Retail reporting unit had occurred as a result of the Good Sam Clubdecline in the market price of the Company’s Class A common stock and co-branded credit card from GSS Enterprises, LLC (“GSS”) within the Good Sam Services and Plans segment to CWI, Inc. (“CWI”) withinpotential impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business. As a result of the interim goodwill impairment test, the Company determined that the fair value of the RV and Outdoor Retail segment. This resulted in a transfer of $26.5 million of goodwill from the Good Sam Services and Plans segment to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment based on relative fair value as of January 1, 2019 of the portion of the reporting unit transferred.was substantially above its respective carrying amount, therefore, no goodwill impairment was recorded.

6. Leases

The Company leases property and equipment throughout the United States primarily under operating leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of the Company’s leases include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. The Company aggregates non-lease components with the related lease components when evaluating the accounting treatment for equipment and billboard leases.

Many of the Company’s lease agreements include fixed rental payments. Certain of its lease agreements include fixed rental payments that are adjusted periodically for changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Payments based on a change in an index or a rate are not considered in the determination of lease payments for purposes of measuring the related lease liability. While lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes to the CPI, changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred.

Most of the Company’s real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. If it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options, the periods covered by such options are included in the lease term and are recognized as part of the operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of its leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must estimate its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

The Company leases most of the properties for its RV and outdoor retail locations through 284 operating leases. The Company also leases billboards and certain of its equipment primarily through operating leases. The related right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for these operating leases are included in operating lease assets. The Company has one finance lease for equipment, which is not material.

As of June 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate of operating leases was 13.0 years and 7.6%, respectively.

7.8. 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.

There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels and there were no material re-measurements to fair value during 20192020 and 20182019 of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table presents the reported carrying value and fair value information for the Company’s debt instruments. The fair values shown below for the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, are based on quoted prices in the inactive market for identical assets (Level 2) and the fair values shown below for the Floor Plan

(“CW”), and FreedomRoads RV, Inc. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are Subchapter C corporations.

On January 1, 2019, the Company transferred certain assets relating to its Good Sam Club and co-branded credit card from its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, GSS aEnterprises LLC (“GSS”), to its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, CWI,CW, a corporation. As a result of this transfer, the Company recorded $14.4an estimated $16.3 million of estimated deferrednet income tax expense during the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 due to the revaluation of certain deferred tax assets and related changes in valuation allowance.

As further described in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — COVID-19, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies,

including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no material tax impacts to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as it relates to COVID-19 measures. The Company will continue to monitor additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and others.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018,March 31, 2020, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 13.5% and 15.6%, respectively. The effective(41.3)% as a result of incurring income tax rate decreased inexpense on a loss before income taxes.

For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 54.7% and 18.9%, respectively. The amount of income tax expense and the effective income tax rate increased in the six months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 primarily due to the $14.4 millionas a result of estimated deferredlower income tax expense related to the transfers of assets described above, operating losses recorded by CWI for which no tax benefit can be recognized, and an increased ownership percentage ofincurred at CWGS, LLC for which the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes on its allocable share, partially offset by operating losses recorded by CW for which no tax benefit can be recognized and absent the transfer of certain assets between subsidiaries in the prior year which had resulted in $16.3 million of net income of CWGS, LLC.tax expense as described above. The Company's effective income tax rate for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was higher than(41.3)%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the deferred income tax expense related to the transfer of assets described above, offset by a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies which are not subject to corporate level taxes.taxes and losses at certain subsidiaries for which an income tax benefit was not recorded, since there was a full valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets of those subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s effective income tax rate was (588.4)%, primarily as a result of the $16.3 million deferred income tax expense on the transfer of certain assets between subsidiaries described above and a portion of the Company’s earnings being attributable to non-controlling interests in limited liability companies which are not subject to corporate level taxes and losses at certain subsidiaries for which an income tax benefit was not recorded, since there was a full valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets of those subsidiaries.

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine if they can be realized and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. At June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company determined that all of its deferred tax assets except(except those pertaining to CWIof CW and the direct investment in CWGS, LLC,Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset discussed below) are more likely than not to be realized. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of CWI,CW, since it was determined that it is more likely than not, based on available objective evidence, that CWICW would have insufficient taxable income in the current or carryforward periods under the tax laws to realize the future tax benefits of its deferred tax assets. The Company also maintains a partial valuation allowance against the Outside Basis Deferred Tax Asset pertaining to the portion that is not amortizable for tax purposes, since the Company would likely only realize the non-amortizable portion of the deferred tax asset pertaining to its directOutside Basis Deferred Tax Asset if the investment in CWGS, LLC.LLC was divested.

On October 6, 2016, theThe Company entered intois party to a tax receivable agreement (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, that 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 or exchanges 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. The above payments are predicated on CWGS, LLC making an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code effective for each tax year in which a redemption or exchange (including a deemed exchange) of common units for cash or stock occur. These tax benefit payments are not conditioned upon one or more of the Continuing Equity Owners or Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. maintaining a continued ownership interest in CWGS, LLC. In general, the Continuing Equity Owners’ or Crestview Partners II GP, L.P.’s rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement are assignable, including to transferees of its common units in CWGS, LLC (other than the Company as transferee pursuant to a redemption or exchange of common units in CWGS, LLC). The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of the tax benefits, if

any, which may be realized. During the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, 20,000 and 2018, no common units in CWGS, LLC were exchanged for Class A common stock subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 5,725 and 173,286 common units in CWGS, LLC, respectively, were exchanged for Class A common stock subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement payments due to those parties that redeemed common units, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits the Company expects to realize from the tax basis increases related to the exchange, after concluding it was probable that the Tax Receivable Agreement payments would be paid based on estimates of future taxable income. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the amount of Tax Receivable Agreement payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $116.3$114.8 million and $134.2 million, respectively, of which $6.8$6.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively, was included in the current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As a result23

The reduction in future expected tax amortization reduced the Tax Receivable Agreement liability by $7.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Unrelated to the transfer described above, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability was reduced by an additional $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for changes in estimated state income tax rates applicable to CWH.

17.18. Segments Information

Following the resignation of Roger Nuttall from his position as President of Camping World on December 21, 2018, theThe Company took steps during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 to realign the reporting structure of the Company including management and internal reporting. As a result of these changes, the Company determined that its reportable segments had changed. The Company’s reportable segments have been identified based on various commonalities amongst the Company’s individual product lines, which is consistent with the Company’s operating structure and associated management structure and management evaluates the performance of and allocates resources to these segments based on segment revenues and segment profit. The segment reporting for prior comparative periods have been recasted to conform to the current period presentation.

As previously discussed, the Company previously had three reportable segments: (i) Consumer Services and Plans; (ii) Dealership and, (iii) Retail. Following the realignment, the Company now has the following two2 reportable segments: (i) Good Sam Services and Plans, and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. In conjunction with the first quarter 2019 realignment of its reporting structure, the Company combined its prior Dealership and Retail segments into the RV and Outdoor Retail segment. The Company has also reclassified a portion of the former Consumer Services and Plans segment, the Good Sam Club and co-branded credit card operations, to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, which reflects the synergies of those two programs with the RV and Outdoor Retail locations. Within the Good Sam Services and Plans segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of the following offerings: emergency roadside assistance;assistance plans; property and casualty insurance programs; travel assist programs; extended vehicle service contracts; vehicle financing and refinancing;refinancing assistance; consumer shows and events; and consumer publications and directories. Within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of new and used RVs; commissions on the finance and insurance contracts related to the sale of RVs; the sale of RV productsservice and services, includingmaintenance work; the sale of RV parts, accessories, and supplies; the sale of outdoor products, equipment, gear and supplies and servicesthe sale of Good Sam Club memberships and co-branded credit cards.

The reportable segments identified above are the business activities of the Company for RVs,which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is a group comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and the President. Segment revenue includes intersegment revenue.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report and reflects the effects of the immaterial correction of errors discussed in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Revisions for Correction of Immaterial Errors in of this Form 10-Q.Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report, Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q and in other parts of this Form 10-Q. Except to the extent that differences among reportable segments are material to an understanding of our business taken as a whole, we present the discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on a consolidated basis.

For purposes of this Form 10-Q, we define an "Active Customer" as a customer who has transacted with us in any of the eight most recently completed fiscal quarters prior to the date of measurement. Unless otherwise indicated, the date of measurement is June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our most recently completed fiscal quarter.  Additionally, references herein to the approximately 1011 million U.S. households that own a recreational vehicle ("RV") are based on data from the RV Industry Association.

Overview

Camping World Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is America’s largest retailer of recreational RVs and related products and services. Our vision is to build a long-term legacy business that makes RVing fun and easy, and our Camping World and Good Sam brands have been serving RV consumers since 1966. We arestrive to build long-term value for our customers, employees, and shareholders by combining a leading outdoorunique and camping retailer, offering an extensivecomprehensive assortment of recreational vehicles for sale, RV and camping gear, RV maintenance and repair, other outdoor and active sports products and the industry’s broadest and deepest range of services protection plans, products and resources.

To best serve the estimated 10 million U.S. households that own an RV and our base of 5.3 million Active Customers, we offerwith a comprehensive portfolio of services, protection plans, products and resources for RV and outdoor enthusiasts through our national network of RV dealerships, service centers and customer support centers along with the industry’s most extensive online presence and a highly-trained and knowledgeable team of associates serving our customers, the RV lifestyle, and the communities in which we operate. We also believe that our Good Sam organization and family of programs and services uniquely enables us to connect with our customers as stewards of the RV lifestyle. On March 31, 2020, we operated a total of 168 retail locations, andwith 167 of these selling and/or servicing RVs. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our direct marketing business. The table below summarizes our store location activity for the twelve months ended June 30, 2019:

unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

After several years of strong growth, the overall RV industry experienced decelerating demand for new vehicles in 2018 and 2019. Along with the decelerating demand trends, wholesale shipments of new RV vehicles declined 4.1%16.0% in 2019 according to the RV Industry Association’s survey of manufacturers. In late 2019, the demand for new RVs across the full yearoverall RV industry began increasing again, and through the three months ended March 31, 2020, wholesale shipments of 2018 and 20.3% fornew RV vehicles increased 0.4% over the first halfthree months of 2019, on a period-over-period comparable period basis. As a result,according to the most recent survey of manufacturers. In an effort to sell through existing RV units and lower new RV inventory levels, we believe many dealers have faced increased competition from other businesses with similar product and service offerings during recent periods. For example, our competitors have listed RVslowered the pricing of new RV units to levels at or below cost in some instances. The result has been increased competition across the industry from lower RV pricing. In an effort to remain competitive and maintain our market share, we have had little visibility into our competitors or manufacturers’ inventories. As a result, we have responded by establishingpursued pricing, marketing and other programs to remain competitive in the marketplace and attempt to maintain our market share that have adversely impacted our gross margin, operating margin and selling, general and administrative expenses.expenses and operating margin. We expect these trends to continue through at least the end of the calendar year ending December 31, 2019.

Segments

As discussed in Note 17 – Segments Information to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, our reportable segments changed during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The segment reporting for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

We identify our reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions The Company previously had three reportable segments: (i) Consumer Services and Plans; (ii) Dealership, and (iii) Retail. Following the realignment, the Company now has the following two reportable segments: (i) Good Sam Services and Plans, and (ii) RV and Outdoor Retail. In conjunction with the first quarter 2019 realignment of our reporting structure, the Company combined our prior Dealership and Retail segments into the RV and Outdoor Retail segment. The Company has also reclassified a portion of the former Consumer Services and Plans segment, the Good Sam Club and co-branded credit card operations, to the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, which reflects the synergies of those two programs with the RV and Outdoor Retail locations. Within the Good Sam Services and Plans segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of the following offerings: emergency roadside assistance; property and casualty insurance programs; travel assist programs; extended vehicle service contracts; vehicle financing and refinancing; shows and events; and publications and directories. Within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment, the Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of new and used RVs; sale of RV products and services, including the sale of parts, accessories, supplies and service for RVs, and equipment, gear and supplies for camping, hunting, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, bicycling, skateboarding, marine and watersport and other outdoor activities; commissions on the finance and insurance contracts related to the sale of RVs; and Good Sam Club memberships and co-branded credit cards.

Balance SheetCOVID-19

As discussed in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Note 6 – Leases— COVID-19 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, COVID-19 has impacted our business, in particular our revenue, due to decreased retail and online traffic. We have implemented preparedness plans to keep our employees and customers healthy and safe, which include social distancing, providing employees with face coverings and/or other protective clothing as required, implementing additional cleaning and sanitization routines, and work-from-home orders for a significant portion of our workforce. The majority of our RV and Outdoor Retail locations have continued to operate as essential businesses and consequently have remained open to serve our customers through the pandemic, and we continue to operate our e-commerce business. As of March 31, 2020, we have adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02” or “ASC 842”)temporarily closed four of our specialty retail locations as a result of January 1, 2019. AsCOVID-19. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we temporarily closed three additional dealerships as a result of June 30, 2019,COVID-19. We have temporarily reduced salaries and hours throughout the Company, including for our executive officers and implemented headcount and other cost reductions since the middle of March 2020 and early April 2020 in an attempt to better align expenses with reduced sales resulting from the impact of COVID-19 on our business.

Additionally, we had $821.0 million, $55.8 million,believe that when stay-at-home restrictions around the U.S. begin to ease, the demand for safe travel away from the home will increase. We believe that the RV industry is poised to recover more quickly than certain other sectors of the economy and $822.0 millionmay benefit from an anticipated slow recovery of operating lease assets, current portionthe cruise line and air travel industries. We are implementing the appropriate marketing and operational plans to be best prepared to optimize our leadership position through the recovery, regardless of operating lease liabilities,the ultimate timing and noncurrent portionslope of operating lease liabilities, respectively,the recovery curve.

Although we have recently incurred significant disruptions in certain of our markets due to the outbreak, and expect the impact of the pandemic and the related restrictions on our operations to adversely affect traffic and sales for at least the remainder of 2020, we are unable to accurately quantify the impact that COVID-19 will have on business, results of operations and liquidity due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the economic impact of the pandemic, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities and other as yet unanticipated consequences. In addition, there could be weakening demand for items that are not basic goods, and our supply chain could be further disrupted as a result of the adoptionoutbreak, such as due to Thor Industries, Inc.’s announced temporary closure of ASC 842.its North American production facilities from late March to early May 2020, either of which could have a materially adverse impact on our operating results. Please refer to “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part II of this Form 10-Q for updated risk factors related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Strategic Shift

In 2019, we made a strategic decision to refocus our business around our core RV competencies. See Note 4 — Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

On a same store basis, used vehicle revenue increased 6.7% to $393.6 million, driven by a 3.5% increase in vehicles sold to 17,227 compared to vehicles sold of 16,651 vehicles sold in the six months ended June 30, 2018, and a 3.2% increase in the average selling price per vehicle.

Used vehicle gross profit increased 5.0%, or $4.3 million, to $90.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $85.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily from an 8.8% increase in vehicles sold resulting from a shift in the product mix towards travel trailers, and higher vehicle acquisition and refurbishment costs, partially offset by a 3.5% reduction in average gross profit per vehicle sold. Used vehicle gross margin decreased to 21.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 22.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in product revenue related to the new stores opened over the last eighteen months. On a same store basis, products, service and other revenue decreased 10.2% to $256.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $286.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to a decrease in warranty-related service and service fee installation promotions.

Depreciation and amortization increased 31.0%, or $6.5 million, to $27.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $21.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to the new RV and outdoor retail store locations.

Other interest expense increased 23.9%, or $6.9 million, to $35.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $28.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The increase was primarily due to the revaluation of certain deferred tax assets and related changes in valuation allowance pertaining to a transfer of assets to a wholly owned corporate subsidiary, operating losses recorded by our RV and Outdoor Retail segment for which no tax benefit can be recognized, and an increased ownership percentage of CWGS, LLC for which we are subject to U.S. federal and state taxes on our allocable share of income of CWGS, LLC.

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, 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. 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, and 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 measures. In evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of those adjusted in this presentation. 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”

47

Table of Contents

as EBITDA further 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 loss, and expense on debt restructure, loss on disposal of assets, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment, Gander Outdoors pre-openingrestructuring costs related to the 2019 Strategic Shift, 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.

Uses and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management and our board of directors use the Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

as a measurement of operating performance because they assist us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections;
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business.

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 EBITDA to measure our compliance with covenants such as the consolidated leverage ratio. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as indicators of financial performance. Some of the limitations are:

such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

51

Table of Contents

such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

41

Table of Contents

some of such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
some of such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Due to these limitations, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these Non-GAAP Financial Measures only supplementally. As noted in the tables above, certain of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures include adjustments for loss and expense on debt restructure,long-lived asset impairment, lease termination costs, loss on disposal of assets, equity-based compensation, Tax Receivable Agreement liability, an adjustmentrestructuring costs related to rent on right to use assets, Gander Outdoors pre-opening costs,the 2019 Strategic Shift, other unusual or one-time items, and the income tax expense effect described above, as applicable. 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 paragraph and in the reconciliation tables above help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital have been working capital, inventory management, acquiring and building new retail locations, the improvement and expansion of existing retail locations, debt service, distributions to holders of equity interests in CWGS, LLC and our Class A common stock, and general corporate needs. These cash requirements have been met through cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from our IPO, May 2017 public equity offering and October 2017 public equity offering, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below) or our previous senior secured credit facilities, borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility (as defined below) and borrowings under our Real Estate Facility (as defined below).

As a public company, our additional liquidity needs include public company costs, payment of regular and special cash dividends, any exercise of the redemption right by the Continuing Equity Owners from time to time (should we elect to exchange common units for a cash payment), payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and state and federal taxes to the extent not reduced as a result of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their common units remain outstanding. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary, we expect that the payments that we will be required to make to the Continuing Equity Owners, Former Profits Unit Holders and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. will be significant. Any payments made by us to Continuing Equity Owners, Former Profit Unit Holders and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or to CWGS, LLC and, to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us; provided, however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore may accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable

Agreement. For a discussion of the Tax Receivable Agreement, see Note 1112 — Income Taxes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

CWGS, LLC intends to make a regular quarterly cash distribution to its common unit holders, including us, of approximately $0.08 per common unit and we intend to use all of the proceeds from such distribution on our common units to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend of approximately $0.08 per share on our Class A common stock, subject to our discretion as the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and the discretion of our board of directors. During the three months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we paid one regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share of our Class A common stock. CWGS, LLC is required to make cash distributions in accordance with the CWGS LLC Agreement in an amount sufficient for us to pay any expenses incurred by us in connection with the regular quarterly cash dividend, along with any of our other operating expenses and other obligations. In addition, we currently intend to pay a special cash dividend of all or a portion of the Excess Tax Distribution (as defined under “Dividend Policy” included in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report) to the holders of our Class A common stock from time to time subject to the discretion of our board of directors as described under “Dividend Policy” in our Annual Report. During the three months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we paid one special cash dividend of $0.0732 per share of our Class A common stock. Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations, particularly with respect to liquidity, and we may not pay dividends according to our policy, or at all.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred long-lived asset impairment charges of $6.6 million, including $6.5 million in connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift. We expect that none of the foregoing charges will result in future cash expenditures. Additionally, in connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift, we have incurred or expect to incur costs relating to one-time employee termination benefits of between $1.2 million and $1.5 million, lease termination costs of between $15.0 million and $20.0 million, incremental inventory reserve charges of $42.4 million, and other associated costs of $20.0 million to $25.0 million. We expect that approximately $20.0 million to $30.0 million of these costs will result in future cash expenditures. For a discussion of the 2019 Strategic Shift, see Note 4 — Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

There is significant uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and cash flows. As a result, we are proactively taking steps to increase cash available on-hand, including, but not limited to, reducing cash expenditures, including wage reductions through a combination of temporary salary reductions, layoffs, and furloughs; negotiating payment deferrals with lessors; reducing marketing and promotional expenses; and delaying strategic capital expenditures. The Company has negotiated lease payment deferrals of approximately $14.0 million from 2020 into 2021.

Notwithstanding our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, we believe that our sources of liquidity and capital, including cash provided by operating activities and potentially incurring additional borrowings under our Floor Plan Facility, and borrowings under our Real EstateRevolving Credit Facility and proceeds from real estate sale leaseback transactions in the fourth quarter of 2018, will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy, including the anticipated opening of additional RV and outdoor retail locations, regular quarterly cash dividends (as described above) and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot assure you that our cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents or cash available under our Revolving Credit Facility or our Floor Plan Facility, including the potential additional borrowings noted above, will be sufficient to meet our future needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and if availability under our Revolving Credit Facility or our Floor Plan Facility is not sufficient, we may have to obtain additional financing. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may impose significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all, including the expected additional borrowings noted above.above and particularly in light of the economic uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business — Our ability to operate and expand our business and to respond to changing business and economic conditions will depend on the availability of adequate capital” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we had working capital of $498.9$378.4 million and $583.0$394.7 million, respectively, including $101.3$109.4 million and $138.6$147.5 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Our working capital reflects the cash provided by deferred revenue and gains reported under current liabilities of $84.2$82.2 million and $88.1$87.1 million as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively, which reduces working capital. Deferred revenue primarily consists of cash collected for club memberships in advance of

43

Table of Contents

services to be provided, which is deferred and recognized as revenue over the life of the membership. We use net proceeds from this deferred membership revenue to lower our long-term borrowings and finance our working capital needs.

Seasonality

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income, and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in our 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.

We generate a disproportionately higher amount of our annual revenue in our second and third fiscal quarters, which include the spring and summer months. We incur additional expenses in the second and third fiscal quarters due to higher purchase volumes, increased staffing in our retail locations and program costs. If, for any reason, we miscalculate the demand for our products or our product mix during the second and third fiscal quarters, our sales in these quarters could decline, resulting in higher labor costs as a percentage of

53

Table of Contents

sales, lower margins and excess inventory, which could cause our annual results of operations to suffer and our stock price to decline.

Additionally, SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit tend to be higher in the first and fourth quarters due to the timing of acquisitions and the seasonality of our business. We prefer to acquire new retail locations in the first and fourth quarters of each year in order to provide time for the location to be re-modeled and to ramp up operations ahead of the spring and summer months. The timing of our acquisitions in the first and fourth quarters, coupled with generally lower revenue in these quarters has historically resulted in SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit being higher in these quarters.

Operating activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily collections from contracts in transit and customers following the sale of new and used vehicles, as well as from the sale of retail products and services and Good Sam services and plans. Contracts in transit represent amounts due from third-party lenders from whom pre-arranged agreements have been determined, and to whom the retail installment sales contracts have been assigned. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities, are repayments of vehicle floor plan payables, payments to retail product suppliers, personnel-related expenditures, payments related to leased property, advertising, and various services and program costs as well as pre-opening costs for Gander Outdoors (now Gander RV) locations during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

Net cash provided byused in operating activities was $100.2$15.2 million in the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, a decrease of $8.9$58.8 million from $109.1$74.0 million of net cash provided byused in operating activities in the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to $65.0 million of reduced receivables and contracts in transit, a $64.9$12.7 million decreaseincrease in net income and $5.5$7.4 million of other decreases, partially offset by reduced$26.3 of increased inventory purchases of $61.5 million.purchases.

Investing activities. Our investment in business activities primarily consists of expanding our operations through organic growth and the acquisition of retail locations. Substantially all of our new retail locations and capital expenditures have been financed using cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, was party to a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) for a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $35.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The Credit Agreement for our Senior Secured Credit Facilities requires the CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Total 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 (minus the lesser of (a) $5.0 million and (b) letters of credit outstanding) is greater than 30% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Commitments (minus the lesser of (a) $5.0 million and (b) letters of credit outstanding), as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we were not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 30% threshold. At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we would not have met this covenant if we had exceeded the 30% threshold. As such, our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was limited to $9.4 million of additional borrowings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and in doing so, we have to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change our results from those reported. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.

There has been no material change in our critical accounting policies from those previously reported and disclosed in our Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For a discussion of the Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.Report. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, there have been no material changes in this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must

48

Table of Contents

reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer, (“CFO”), evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2019.amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on thisthat evaluation, our CEOChief Executive Officer and CFOChief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2019 as a result of the material weaknesses described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and below.

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018, we identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:2020.

the Company identified the necessity to adjust the manner in which reserves related to certain dealership finance and insurance product cancellation provisions are calculated, resulting from a

58

Table of Contents

deficiency in the design and operation of the review of such reserves, which we determined to be a material weakness;
deficiencies related to areas such as (1) the review of asset activity and valuations, (2) the appropriate assignment of resources for the review of certain accounting analyses and associated journal entries, and (3) the financial statement presentation and disclosure review process that collectively represent a material weakness; and
the previously reported material weaknesses in internal controls related to our management review control process to ensure appropriate accounting for income taxes, including the calculation and realization of deferred tax assets.

Management’s Remediation Efforts

We have identified and begun to implement several steps, as further described below, designed to remediate the material weaknesses described in this Item 4 and to enhance our overall control environment. We will not consider the material weaknesses remediated until our enhanced controls are operational for a sufficient period of time and tested, enabling management to conclude that the enhanced controls are operating effectively.

Our remediation activity has included, but is not limited to, the following measures:

We adjusted the manner in which our reserves related to certain dealership finance and insurance product cancellation provisions are calculated, using third-party analytics to assist in determining the estimated cancellation rate to be used in the reserve.
We assessed our accounting resource requirements across the Company and as a result have hired, or are in the process of hiring, additional experienced accounting personnel, and taken steps to improve the overall efficiency of our accounting and reporting processes. We will continue to regularly monitor accounting resource sufficiency, and may undertake additional measures as deemed necessary to fully remediate the control deficiencies. We expect that the additional resources and process improvements will: enable the proper and timely review of asset activity, valuations, and reserves; allow us to appropriately assign resources for review of accounting analyses and associated journal entries; and provide additional review over the financial statement presentation and disclosure review process.
We improved the design of our existing tax controls to include additional review of the analysis to determine the amount of our income tax liabilities and related deferred income tax balances, and the ability to realize deferred tax assets, including additional review over the computation processes for the determination of the allocation of basis between the Continuing Equity Owners and the Company. We have employed specialized resources for the review of the basis allocations and the related computations surrounding our income tax liabilities and related deferred income tax balances. As part of our remediation efforts in this area, we will continue to improve the process as needed until we can conclude that the process is designed and is operating effectively.

While the foregoing measures are intended to effectively remediate the material weaknesses described in this Item 4, it is possible that additional remediation steps will be necessary. As such, as we continue to evaluate and implement our plan to remediate the material weaknesses, our management may decide to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or modify the remediation steps described above. Until these material weaknesses are remediated, we plan to continue to perform additional analyses and other procedures to help ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

On May 30, 2019, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to consolidate the Hunnewell and LPPF Complaints (as well as any future filed actions relating to the subject matter) and stay the newly consolidated action pending the resolution of defendants’ motion to dismiss the putative class action (Ronge) pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

On August 6, 2019, two shareholder derivative suits, styled Janssen v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., and Sandler v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., were filed in the U.S. District Court of Delaware. Both actions name us as a nominal defendant, and name certain of our officers and directors, Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. as defendants, and allege: (i) violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act for issuing proxy statements that allegedly omitted material information and allegedly included materially false and misleading financial statements; (ii) violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, seeking contribution for causing us to issue allegedly false and misleading statements and/or allegedly omit material information in public statements and/or filings concerning our financial performance, the effectiveness of internal controls to ensure accurate financial reporting, and the success and profitability of the integration and rollout of Gander Outdoors stores; (iii) breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement for allegedly causing or allowing us to disseminateContingencies to our shareholders materially misleading and inaccurate information through our SEC filings; and (iv) breachunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Part I of fiduciary duties for alleged insider selling and misappropriation of information (together, the “Janssen and Sandler Complaints”).

We are also engaged in various other legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims related to employment-related matters, breach of contracts, products liabilities, consumer protection and intellectual property matters resulting from our business activities. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of such matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of certain of such individual litigated matters may not be reasonably predictable and any related damages may not be estimable. Certain of these litigation matters could result in an adverse outcome to us, and any such adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also rely on our retail locations to attract and retain customers and to build our customer database. If we close retail locations, are unable to open or acquire new retail locations due to general economic conditions or otherwise, or experience declines in customer transactions in our existing retail locations due to general economic conditions or otherwise, our ability to maintain and grow our customer database and our Active Customers will be limited, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,results of operations, financial condition and results of operation.cash flows.

Promotional activities and decreased demand for consumer products have also affected our profitability and margins, particularly in recent quarters, and thiscertain negative impact could continue or worsen in future periods. In addition, adverse economic conditions may result in an increase in our operating expenses due to, among other things, higher costs of labor, energy, equipment and facilities, as well as higher tariffs. Due to fluctuations in the U.S. economy, our sales, operating and financial results for a particular period are difficult to predict, making it difficult to forecast results for future periods. Additionally, we are subject to economic fluctuations in local markets that may not reflect the economic conditions of the U.S. economy. Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effectimpacts on our business financial condition and results of operations.

In addition,including, without limitation, the success of our recurring Good Sam consumer services and plans depends, in part, on our customers’ use of certain RV sites and/or the purchase of services, protection plans, products andfollowing:

As consumers have followed governmentally mandated or voluntary stay-at-home guidelines, we have experienced a decrease in traffic at our RV and Outdoor Retail locations, which has resulted in a decrease in the sales of certain of our products and services at our RV and Outdoor Retail locations. We have implemented preparedness plans to keep our employees and customers healthy and safe, which include social distancing, providing employees with face coverings and/or other protective clothing as required, and implementing additional cleaning and sanitization routines. This negative trend is likely to continue, with the most significant impact expected to occur in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. If the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies, its negative impacts on our sales could be more prolonged and may become more severe. Therefore, the historical information in this quarterly report does not fully reflect the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on our business. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on such historical information regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, as that data does not fully reflect the adverse

resources through participating merchants, as well as the health of the RV industry generally. If general economic conditions worsen, our customers may perceive that they have less disposable income for leisure activities or they may not be able to obtain credit for discretionary purchases. As a result, they may travel less frequently, spend less when they travel and purchase and utilize our services, protection plans, products and resources less often, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we have faced increased competition from other businesses with similar product and service offerings during recent periods. For example, our competitors have listed RVs at or below cost and we have had little visibility into our competitors or manufacturers’ inventories. As a result, we have responded and may need to further respond by establishing pricing, marketing and other programs or by seeking out additional strategic alliances or acquisitions that may be less favorable to us than we could otherwise establish or obtain in more favorable economic environments. Such programs have adversely impacted our gross margin, operating margin and selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, declines in the national economy could cause merchants who participate in our programs to go out of business. It is likely that, should the number of merchants entering bankruptcy rise, the number of uncollectible accounts would also rise. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in consumer preferences for our products or our failure to gauge those preferences could lead to reduced sales and have increased our cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses.

We cannot be certain that historical consumer preferences for RVs in general, and any related products, will remain unchanged. RVs are generally used for recreational purposes, and demand for our products may be adversely affected by competition from other activities that occupy consumers’ leisure time and by changes in consumer lifestyle, usage pattern, or taste. Similarly, an overall decrease in consumer leisure time may reduce consumers’ willingness to purchase our products. Over the past several years, we have seen a shift in our overall sales mix towards new travel trailer vehicles, which has led to declines in our average selling price of a new vehicle unit. From 2015 to 2018, new vehicle travel trailer units increased from 62% of total new vehicle unit sales to more than 68% of total new vehicle unit sales and the average selling price of a new vehicle unit has declined from $39,853 to $35,221. The increased popularity of new travel trailer vehicles and the lower price points of these units compared to other new vehicle classes, such as motorhomes and fifth wheels, could continue to lower our average selling price of a new vehicle unit and impact our ability to grow same store sales. However, after several years of strong growth, the overall RV industry experienced decelerating demand for new vehicles in 2018 and wholesale shipments of new RV vehicles declined 4.1% for the full year of 2018 and 20.3% for the first half of 2019 on a period-over-period comparable period basis. Decelerating industry trends in 2018 and 2019 have also negatively impacted our same store sales trends during those periods. These factors have negatively impacted our results of operations and may continue to negatively impact our results of operations in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to successfully order and manage our inventory to reflect consumer demand in a volatile market and anticipate changing consumer preferences and buying trends has and may continue to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends upon our ability to successfully manage our inventory and to anticipate and respond to merchandise trends and consumer demands in a timely manner. Our products appeal to consumers who are, or could become, RV owners and/or outdoor and active sports enthusiasts across North America. The preferences of these consumers cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to change. Further, the retail consumer industry, by its nature, is volatile and sensitive to numerous economic factors, including consumer preferences, competition, market conditions, general economic conditions and other factors outside of our control. We cannot predict consumer preferences with certainty, and consumer preferences often change over time. We typically order merchandise well in advance of the following selling season. The extended lead times for many of our purchases may make it difficult for us to respond rapidly to new or changing product trends, increases or decreases in consumer demand or changes in prices. If we misjudge either the market for our merchandise or our consumers’ purchasing habits in the future, our

impact of COVID-19 and therefore does not purport to be representative of the future results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or other financial or operating results of us.
As many national parks and RV parks have temporarily closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers may use their RVs less frequently and be less inclined to need or renew certain of our services or purchase products through our e-commerce websites. We have experienced decreases in new memberships and renewals of certain of our services and decreased online traffic.
As of March 31, 2020, we have temporarily closed four of our specialty retail locations as a result of COVID-19. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we have temporarily closed three dealerships as a result of COVID-19. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies or governmental orders change, we may be forced to close more locations in the future.
Deteriorating economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as increased unemployment, decreases in disposable income, declines in consumer confidence, or economic slowdowns or recessions, could cause a further decrease in demand for our products and services.
We have made temporary changes to our operating procedures at our RV and Outdoor Retail locations and offices. We are taking measures to protect our customers, employees and facilities, which include, but are not limited to, social distancing, providing employees with face coverings and/or other protective clothing as required, and implementing additional cleaning and sanitization routines. These measures may not be sufficient to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among our employees and, therefore, we may face labor shortages including key positions. Additionally, our employees may not be as efficient while operating under these temporary procedures, which could result in additional labor costs.
We have faced, and may continue to face, increasing delays in the delivery of certain products from our vendors as a result of shipping delays due to, among other things, additional safety requirements imposed by governmental authorities and capacity constraints experienced by our transportation contractors.
Some of our vendors have experienced, and may experience in the future, temporary facility closures, production slowdowns and disruptions in distribution operations as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their respective businesses, such as Thor Industries, Inc.’s announced temporary closure of its North American production facilities from late March to early May 2020.
Disruptions in supply chains may place constraints on our ability to source product, which may increase our product costs or lead to shortages.
Our ability to increase our borrowing capacity may be limited as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and, if the conditions in the credit markets worsen, our ability to refinance credit arrangements as they mature may also be limited. As a result, there is no guarantee that we will be able to access additional capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
The current uncertain market conditions and their actual or perceived effects on our results of operations and financial condition, along with the current unfavorable economic environment in the United States, may increase the likelihood that one or more of the major independent credit agencies will further downgrade our credit ratings, which could have a negative effect on our borrowing costs.
Governmental authorities in the United States may increase or impose new income taxes or indirect taxes, or revise interpretations of existing tax rules and regulations, as a means of financing the costs of stimulus and other measures enacted or taken, or that may be enacted or taken in the future, to protect populations and economies from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such actions could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

We rely on third-party service providers and business partners, such as cloud data storage and other information technology service providers, suppliers, distributors, contractors, and other external business partners, for certain functions or for services in support of key portions of our operations. These third-party service providers and business partners are subject to risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may interfere with their ability to fulfill their respective commitments and responsibilities to us in a timely manner and in accordance with the agreed-upon terms.
The financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may cause one or more of our counterparty financial institutions to fail or default on their obligations to us, which could cause us to incur significant losses.
Deteriorations in our financial results and financial condition as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause us to default on one or multiple of our credit agreements, including any of the subjective acceleration clauses in such agreements. If this occurs, our obligations under the relevant agreement may be accelerated which would have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity position and financial position.
We may be required to record significant impairment charges with respect to noncurrent assets, including goodwill, other intangible assets, and other long-lived assets whose fair values may be negatively affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. Also, we may be required to write off excess or obsolete inventory as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s damaging impacts on our business.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including related governmental guidance or directives, we have required most office-based employees to work remotely. We may experience reductions in productivity and disruptions to our business routines and heightened cybersecurity risks while our remote work policy remains in place.
Actions we have taken or may take, or decisions we have made or may make, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic may result in legal claims or litigation against us.

revenues may decline significantly, and we may not have sufficient quantitiesThe resumption of merchandise to satisfy consumer demand or sales orders, or wenormal business operations after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may be required to discount excess inventory, eitherdelayed or constrained by its lingering effects on our consumers, vendors or third-party service providers.

Any of which couldthe negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including those described above, alone or in combination with others, may have a material adverse effect on our business,results of operations, financial condition and resultscash flows. Any of operations. For example,these negative impacts, alone or in recent periods we have implemented discounting programs to reduce our excess RV inventory. In addition, we have exited or are exiting certain non-RV retail categories because we felt those categories did not have sufficient demand or sales margins to justify our inventory levels. These activities have negatively impacted our gross margin, operating margin and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Because certaincombination with others, could exacerbate many of the products that we sell are manufactured abroad, we may face delays, new or increased tariffs, increased cost or quality control deficienciesrisk factors discussed in the importation“Risk Factors” in Item 1A of these products, which could reduce our net sales and profitability.

Like many other outdoor and active sports-oriented retailers, a portion of the products that we purchase for resale, including those purchased from domestic suppliers, is manufactured abroad in China and other countries. In addition, we believe mostPart I of our private label merchandise is manufactured abroad. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China, as well as those between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico and other countries have been escalating in recent months. Most notably, three rounds of U.S. tariffs were placed on Chinese goods being exportedAnnual Report. The full extent to the U.S., with such tariffs taking effect in July, August and September 2018. Each of these U.S. tariff impositions against Chinese exports were followed by a round of retaliatory Chinese tariffs on U.S. exports to China. The competing tariff regimes imposed by the U.S. and Chinese administrations have continued to escalate in recent months, including new tariffs by the U.S. administration set to go into effect in September 2019 and threats of retaliation by the Chinese administration.

As a result, our foreign imports, in particular imports from China, subject us to the risks of changes in, or the imposition of new import tariffs, duties or quotas, new restrictions on imports, loss of “most favored nation” status with the United States for a particular foreign country, antidumping or countervailing duty orders, retaliatory actions in response to illegal trade practices, work stoppages, delays in shipment, freight expense increases, product cost increases due to foreign currency fluctuations or revaluations and economic uncertainties. If any of these or other factors were to cause a disruption of trade from the countries in which the suppliers of our vendors are located or impose additional costs in connection with the purchase of our products, we may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities of products to satisfy our requirements and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

To the extent that any foreign manufacturers which supply products to us directly or indirectly utilize quality control standards, labor practices or other practices that vary from those legally mandated or commonly accepted in the United States, we could be hurt by any resulting negative publicity or, in some cases, face potential liability.

In addition, instability in the political and economic environments of the countries in which our vendors or we obtain our products, or general international instability, could have an adverse effect on our operations. In the event of disruptions or delays in supply due to economic or political conditions in foreign countries, such disruptions or delays could adverselyCOVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our results of operations, unlessfinancial condition and until alternative supply arrangements could be made. In addition, merchandise purchased from alternative sources may be of lesser quality or more expensive than the merchandise we currently purchase abroad.

We have been named in litigation, which has resulted in substantial costscash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and may result in reputational harm and divert management’s attention and resources.

We face legal risks in our business, including claims from disputes with our employees and our former employees and claims associated with general commercial disputes, product liability and other matters. Risks associated with legal liability often are difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time.

We have been named in the past, are currently named and may be named in the future as defendants of class action lawsuits. For example, we were named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit by Camp Coast to Coast club members, which alleged certain violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law at Business and Professions Code and other laws, relating to our sale of trip points and certain advertising

and marketing materials. In addition, we were also named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit filed by former employees in the State of California, which alleged various wage and hour claims under the California Labor Code. We have since settled both actions.

We are currently subject to securities class action litigation and may be subject to similar or other litigation in the future. For example, on October 19, 2018, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Ronge v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against us, certain of our officers and directors, and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Ronge Complaint”). On October 25, 2018, a different purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Strougo v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against us, certain of our officers and directors, and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Strougo Complaint”).

The Ronge and Strougo Complaints were consolidated and lead plaintiffs appointed by the court. On February 27, 2019, lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint against us, certain of our officers and directors, Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C., and the underwriters of the May and October 2017 secondary offerings of our Class A common stock. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as well as Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and rule 10b-5 thereunder, based on allegedly materially misleading statements or omissions of material facts necessary to make certain statements not misleading related to the business, operations, and management of the Company. Additionally, it alleges that certain of our officers and directors, Crestview Partners II GP, L.P., and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. violated Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by allegedly acting as controlling persons of the Company. The lawsuit brings claims on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of our Class A common stock between March 8, 2017 and August 7, 2018, and seeks compensatory damages, rescission, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any equitable or injunctive relief the court deems just and proper. On May 17, 2019, the Company, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss the complaint.

On December 12, 2018, a putative class action complaint styled International Union of Operating Engineers Benefit Funds of Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware v. Camping World Holdings Inc., et al. was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, on behalf of all purchasers of Camping World Class A common stock issued pursuant and/or traceable to a secondary offering of such securities in October 2017 (“IUOE Complaint”). The IUOE Complaint names as defendants Camping World, and certain of our officers and directors, among others, and alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegedly materially misleading statements or omissions of material facts necessary to make certain statements not misleading and seeks compensatory damages, including prejudgment and post-judgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any equitable or injunctive relief the court deems just and proper, including rescission. On February 28, 2019, we, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss this action. The parties are scheduled to argue the merits of defendants’ motion to dismiss before the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Commercial Division, on August 22, 2019.

On February 22, 2019, a putative class action complaint styled Daniel Geis v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al. was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, on behalf of all purchasers of Camping World Class A common stock in and/or traceable to our initial public offering on October 6, 2016 (“Geis Complaint”). The Geis Complaint names as defendants Camping World, certain of our officers and directors, and the underwriters of the offering, and alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegedly materially misleading statements or omissions of material facts necessary to make certain statements not misleading. The Geis Complaint seeks compensatory damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper. On April 19, 2019, we, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss this action. The parties are scheduled to argue the merits of defendants’ motion to dismiss before the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division on August 20, 2019.

On March 5, 2019, a shareholder derivative suit captioned Hunnewell v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty for

65

alleged failure to implement effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting and to properly oversee certain acquisitions and for alleged insider trading (the “Hunnewell Complaint”). The Hunnewell Complaint names us as nominal defendant, and names certain of its officers and directors, among others, as defendants and seeks restitutionary and/or compensatory damages, disgorgement of all management fees, advisory fees, expenses and other fees paid by us during the period in question, disgorgement of profits pursuant to the alleged insider trading, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper.

On April 17, 2019, a shareholder derivative suit captioned Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty for alleged failure to implement effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting and to properly oversee certain acquisitions and for alleged insider trading and unjust enrichment for compensation received during that time (the “LPPF Complaint”). The LPPF Complaint names us as nominal defendant, and names certain of our officers and directors, among others, as defendants and seeks compensatory damages, extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief, restitution and disgorgement, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper. On May 30, 2019, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to consolidate the Hunnewell and LPPF Complaints (as well as any future filed actions relating to the subject matter) and stay the newly consolidated action pending the resolution of defendants’ motion to dismiss the putative class action (Ronge) pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

On August 6, 2019, two shareholder derivative suits, styled Janssen v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., et al., and Sandler v. Camping World Holdings, Inc. et al., were filed in the U.S. District Court of Delaware. Both actions name us as a nominal defendant, and name certain of our officers and directors, Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. as defendants, and allege: (i) violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act for issuing proxy statements that allegedly omitted material information and allegedly included materially false and misleading financial statements; (ii) violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, seeking contribution for causing us to issue allegedly false and misleading statements and/or allegedly omit material information in public statements and/or filings concerning our financial performance, the effectiveness of internal controls to ensure accurate financial reporting, and the success and profitability of the integration and rollout of Gander Outdoors stores; (iii) breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement for allegedly causing or allowing us to disseminate to our shareholders materially misleading and inaccurate information through our SEC filings; and (iv) breach of fiduciary duties for alleged insider selling and misappropriation of information (together, the “Janssen and Sandler Complaints”). The Janssen and Sandler Complaints seek restitutionary and/or compensatory damages, injunctive relief, disgorgement of all profits, benefits, and other compensation obtained by the certain of our officers and directors, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other and further relief the court deems just and proper.

The results of the securities class action lawsuits, shareholder derivative lawsuit, and any other future legal proceedings cannot be predicted, with certainty. Regardlessincluding the scope and duration of their subject matter or merits, such legal proceedings have resultedthe pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in and are likelyresponse to continue to result in significant cost to us, which may not be covered by insurance, may divert the attention of management or may otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Negative publicity from litigation, whether or not resulting in a substantial cost, could materially damage our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the price of our Class A common stock. In addition, such legal proceedings may make it more difficult to finance our operations.pandemic.
