Revenues in the Towable RV segment fell 30.9% year-over-year to $341.4 million, primarily led by a decline in unit volume.

Total deliveries from the segment came in at 7,711 units, decreasing 26.3% year over year but beating our estimate of 6,822 units. Adjusted EBITDA declined 19.7% to $42.7 million, reflecting a higher discount and allowance and volume deleverage. The figure came ahead of our estimate of $27.1 million.
