The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 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, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. CWH has sole voting power in and control of the management of CWGS, LLC (see Note 15 — Stockholders’ Equity). CWH’s position as sole managing member of CWGS, LLC includes periods where CWH held a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC. As of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, CWH owned 53.0%, 52.9%, and 52.6%, 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.
Seasonality	Seasonality The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income, and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in its 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. The Company generates a disproportionately higher amount of its annual revenue in its second and third fiscal quarters, which include the spring and summer months. The Company incurs additional expenses in the second and third fiscal quarters due to higher sale volumes, increased staffing in its store locations and program costs. If, for any reason, the Company miscalculates the demand for its products or its product mix during the second and third fiscal quarters, its sales in these quarters could decline, resulting in higher labor costs as a percentage of gross profit, lower margins and excess inventory, which could cause the Company’s annual results of operations to suffer and its stock price to decline. Additionally, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of gross profit tend to be higher in the first and fourth quarters due to the seasonality of the Company’s business. Due to the Company’s seasonality, the possible adverse impact from other risks associated with its business, including atypical weather, consumer spending levels and general business conditions, is potentially greater if any such risks occur during the Company’s peak sales seasons.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. For public companies, this standard requires the amortization of leasehold improvements associated with common control leases over the useful life to the common control group. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of the provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2023 did not materially impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations―Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This ASU requires joint ventures to recognize a new basis of accounting for contributed net assets as of the formation date, to measure the contributed identifiable net assets at fair value on the formation date using the business combination guidance in ASC 805-20 (with certain exceptions) regardless of whether an investor contributes a business, to measure the net assets’ fair value based on 100% of the joint venture’s equity immediately following formation, to record goodwill (or an equity adjustment, if negative) for the difference between the fair value of the joint venture’s equity and its net assets and to provide disclosures about the nature and financial effect of the formation transaction. The standard is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Additionally, for joint ventures that were formed before January 1, 2025, the Company may elect to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company’s early adoption of the provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2023 did not materially impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The title and position of the CODM must be disclosed with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. If the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance, and deciding how to allocate resources, an entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. Additionally, public entities must disclose an amount for “other segment items” by reportable segment representing the difference between segment revenue less the significant expenses disclosed and each reported measure of segment profit or loss, and a description of its composition. Moreover, all annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets are to be presented in interim periods. The standard should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2024, with respect to the annual disclosures beginning with the year ending December 31, 2024 and interim disclosures beginning with the three months ending March 31, 2025, including the presentation of the comparable prior periods. The adoption of this ASU will result in additional segment reporting disclosures and does not otherwise have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires that public business entities on an annual basis disclose (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
