Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Lindsay. As we entered 2025, we knew it was really important to fortify and strengthen our company. We successfully raised $330 million of growth capital in October, and last week we amended and extended our RV floor plan facility with an additional five years by adding $300 million of runway. Our floor plan now totals $2,150,000,000. As we deploy capital across growing our used inventory in multiple dealership M&A transactions, expected to close by the end of spring, we are reaffirming our guideposts to deliver 10% to 15% unit growth on used, low single-digit growth on new, significant improvement in total gross profit, and a 600 to 700 basis point improvement in SG&A. We ended 2024 with record combined new and used market share, hitting 11.2%. We're seeing combined unit momentum carry into our early 2025 results and expect to set a new record at 12%, selling over 130,000 units up from 121,500 in 2024. The early 25 results through today are encouraging, with healthy mid-single digit growth. Early indications of 2025 continue to show a consumer that is focused on affordability and value price units, both on the new and used side. It's our belief that the ASP will improve through the core selling season, as it historically does. And we continue to target an annual ASP of $40,000 on new and $32,000 on used. As a reminder, that's going to fluctuate quarter to quarter, with the first and second quarter being driven by family camping, lower price units, and then accelerating into Q3 and Q4. As part of fueling that growth, our used procurement process is in full swing. with both January and February setting respective records in each month. We expect the purchase volume to accelerate over the next several months as we enter our core selling season. If the 10-year Treasury yield continues to stabilize and reduce, we expect to see additional retail finance rate relief for our customers, allowing them to take on more unit while maintaining a monthly payment that fits their budget. It's my expectation that our company will experience explosive EBITDA growth in the first quarter compared to the prior year. That's going to be driven primarily by gross margin and gross profit dollar improvement, along with significant SG&A improvements. Look, we have two goals for the year. It's very simple. Sell more RVs and make more money. I'll now turn the call over to Matthew.
