Shares of Rev Group Inc. (REVG), a leading manufacturer of specialty and recreational vehicles, plummeted over 27% on Wednesday, September 4th, 2024, after the company reported disappointing fiscal third-quarter 2024 results and lowered its revenue outlook for the full year.
For the quarter ended July 31st, REV Group's net sales declined 14.8% year-over-year to $579.4 million, missing analysts' expectations of $618.7 million. The lower sales were primarily driven by decreased unit shipments and increased discounting in the Recreational Vehicles segment.
While net income increased to $18.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, it fell short of analysts' earnings per share estimate of $0.37. However, the company's adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, rose 14.7% year-over-year to $45.2 million, supported by higher profitability in the Specialty Vehicles segment.
The biggest setback for REV Group was the revised full-year fiscal 2024 outlook, with the company now expecting net sales in the range of $2.35 billion to $2.45 billion, down from its previous guidance of $2.40 billion to $2.50 billion. This lower revenue outlook, coupled with the weaker-than-expected third-quarter sales, led to investor concerns and a significant selloff in the stock.
