“Fiscal 2024 was a transformative year for our organization, marked by strategic investments and expanding our market presence,” said Mark Yost, Skyline Champion’s president and CEO. “Despite facing some significant market headwinds, including the prolonged destocking by our channel partners and considerable regional variability, we made substantial progress. We initiated the integration of our strategic investments, which broaden our retail and financing capabilities. We also took decisive actions to address production efficiencies while serving the expanding builder developer demand. As we move into fiscal 2025, we are better equipped with enhanced capabilities to capitalize on growth opportunities and deliver increased value to our customers and shareholders.”
On May 16, Skyline Champion’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to $100 million of the company’s common stock. Under this share repurchase program, the number of shares ultimately purchased, and the timing of purchases are at the discretion of management and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the company said. This share repurchase program may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Skyline Champion’s board of directors at any time. The company expects to fund the program from existing cash and future cash generation.
“We are excited to launch our inaugural share repurchase program, underscoring our dedication to enhancing shareholder value through our robust financial position,” said Yost. “This initiative allows us to distribute capital to our shareholders, while continuing to prioritize the financial health of the organization and supporting ongoing investments and strategic growth opportunities. This balanced capital allocation strategy affirms our commitment to both returning capital to shareholders and fueling our future expansion.”
