PHOENIX, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cavco Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVCO) ("we," "our," the "Company" or "Cavco") today announced financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended September 26, 2026.

Quarterly Highlights

• Net revenue was $656.4 million, up $100 million or 17.9% compared to $556.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year, primarily on home sales volume and average selling price per home growth.
• Home sales volume was up 15.3% and capacity utilization remained consistent year over year at approximately 75%.
• Factory-built housing Gross profit as a percentage of Net revenue was 21.1%, down from 22.9% in the same period in the prior year.
• Financial services Gross profit as a percentage of Net revenue was 60.2%, compared to Gross profit of 55.6% in the same period in the prior year.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses include a one-time $7 million benefit from a return of insurance premium which favorably impacts Net income per diluted share by $0.70.
• Income before income taxes was $73 million, up $6 million, or 9.1% compared to $67 million in the same period in the prior year.
• Net income per diluted share was $7.17, up 9%, compared to $6.55 in the prior year quarter.
• Backlogs totaled $348 million at the end of the quarter representing 8-10 weeks of production, up $50 million sequentially from $298 million.
• Stock repurchases were approximately $30 million in the quarter. At the end of the second quarter, $158 million remains available for repurchases under our previously announced Board authorizations.
  
  

Commenting on the quarter, President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Boor said, "This is our second consecutive quarter of record revenue and unit volume. While orders were off the preceding quarter pace, they remained healthy and backlogs continued to grow. This positions us very well going into the seasonally slower winter months with the ability to adjust production depending on order trends. While materials inflation continued and is expected to remain a challenge going forward, during Q2, selling price increases were in excess of cost pressures, resulting in a small sequential Gross Margin improvement. Additionally, we began to see data center workforce housing orders and shipments during the quarter which are contributing to healthy backlogs."

He continued, "A highlight this quarter was showing Cavco’s Grande Arbor, the first off-chassis HUD-Code home, at HUD’s Innovative Housing Showcase in Washington DC. Increasing federal and state-level support through the ROAD to Housing Act and other reforms will be opening exciting opportunities for factory-built housing in the years ahead."

Financial Results

• In the factory-built housing segment, Net revenue increased in both periods due to higher home sales volume driven by both the American Homestar acquisition in the third quarter of the prior year and organic volume growth in both periods, as well as an increase in Net revenue per home sold.
• Financial services segment Net revenue increased in both periods due to increased loan sale volume and increased retained insurance premium net of reinsurance payments.
  
  

• In the factory-built housing segment, Gross profit increased due to an increase in home sales volume and Net revenue per home sold, partially offset by higher input costs for both periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses were higher for both periods primarily due to the addition of American Homestar, partially offset by a one-time $7 million benefit from a return of insurance premium related to additional D&O insurance purchased in 2019.
• In the financial services segment, Gross profit increased primarily due to loan sales volume, higher retained insurance premium net of reinsurance premium and lower commissions on insurance policies written. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in both periods primarily due to higher compensation on stronger results.
