The company’s profit for the year was $173.3 million.

The company credits its net sales increase to its transition into a “more diversified and resilient company with greater exposure to the low-ticket discretionary spend products.” An example of that strategy is seen in the increased amount of direct-to-consumer advertising the company is doing.

It said its net sales in the OEM sales channel grew in 2022, despite the significant slowdown in the RV OEM business in the U.S. in the second half of 2022.

“The macroenvironment was challenging in 2022, impacted by geopolitical uncertainty, high inflation and increasing interest rates. Retailers globally were rebalancing their inventory levels after large inventory build-ups in 2021 and in the first half of 2022.
