• Factory-built housing Gross profit as a percentage of Net revenue was 22.1%, compared to 22.9%.

Commenting on the results, Bill Boor, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Cavco made a lot of progress across many fronts in fiscal year 2026. In addition to continuing a progression of digital marketing, branding and product line transformations, all aimed at improving the customer and retailer experience, we sold a record number of homes. We also joined forces with American Homestar which is exceeding expectations for tangible synergies and operating performance. Finally, as announced yesterday, in Q4 we broke ground on a new, state-of the art production facility in El Mirage, Arizona. This expansion reflects our consistent capital allocation approach focused on the long-term need for factory-built solutions to the worsening housing crisis in America."

He continued, "Wholesale orders in the fourth quarter were up significantly from both the third quarter of this year and the fourth quarter of last year, with the bulk of that pick-up and the accompanying backlog increase happening in March. Additionally, both our insurance and lending operations posted strong results in the quarter. Despite an environment that has not materially improved and remains uncertain, we continued to perform well and invest in the future."

Net factory-built housing revenue per home sold	$	105,042			$	96,415			$	8,627			8.9	%

• In the factory-built housing segment, the increase in Net revenue was caused by higher average selling price per home sold primarily caused by a higher percentage of sales through Company-owned stores and product mix.
• Financial services segment Net revenue increased primarily due to more loan sales in the current period after securing a long term agreement to sell loans to a third party investor. Additionally, to a lesser extent, the addition of the American Homestar financial services operation also contributed to net revenue.

	$	51,473			$	38,630			$	12,843			33.2	%

• In the factory-built housing segment, Gross profit increased from higher average selling price per home sold, partially offset by higher input costs and lower home sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to a $10 million non‑cash charge related to adjustment of certain legacy brand intangibles in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which impacted Diluted net income per share by $0.93. Excluding the impact of that charge, SG&A increased year‑over‑year due to the inclusion of Selling, general and administrative expense from the Company's acquisition of American Homestar completed at the beginning of the third quarter of this fiscal year.
• In the financial services segment, Gross profit increased primarily due to higher premiums and lower claims losses on insurance policies, as well as an increase in loans sold. The claims loss reduction resulted from both policy underwriting improvements and a reduction due to severe weather events in the prior year period which resulted in higher claims that did not recur. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher compensation.

• In the factory-built housing segment, the year-over-year increase in Net revenue was primarily due to higher average selling prices and home sales volume. The current year period includes six months of operations of American Homestar.
• Financial services segment Net revenue increased year-over-year primarily due to higher insurance premiums in the current year compared to the prior year, partially offset by fewer policies in force.

	$	228,569			$	190,276			$	38,293			20.1	%

• In the factory-built housing segment, Gross profit increased from higher average selling price and volume driven partially by current year including six months of American Homestar activity, partially offset by higher input costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a result of higher incentive compensation on higher sales, the inclusion of Selling, general and administrative expenses from the acquisition of American Homestar acquisition in the third quarter of the current fiscal year and deal costs related to the acquisition. These costs were partially offset by a non-recurring $10.0 million non-cash charge related to the adjustment of certain legacy brand intangibles in the prior year.
• In the financial services segment, Gross profit increased primarily due to the insurance division having higher premiums and lower claims losses. The claims loss reduction resulted from policy underwriting improvements and severe weather events in the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher compensation.
