Camping World Reports Q3 Earnings Amid New-RV Margin Decline and Demand Pressure
What happened
Camping World reported third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $36 million, noting that pressure on new-RV demand and elevated industry promotions weighed on vehicle margins. The company reduced selling, general and administrative expense by $24 million compared to the previous year, though these savings did not fully offset the decline in gross profit. Matthew Wagner, CEO and President of Camping World, stated that new-vehicle gross margin was 10.2% in the third quarter.

Why it matters
The results indicate that while Camping World improved its used-vehicle gross margin, new-vehicle margins declined due to aggressive discounting by competitors. The company expects new-vehicle margins to improve sequentially in the fourth quarter, and its new-vehicle average selling price rose nearly 12%, reflecting share gains in fifth wheels and motorized RVs.
