Champion Homes is acquiring Homes Direct as part of an effort to expand manufactured housing’s addressable market share. Manufactured housing offers a lower-cost alternative to site-built housing and can help address affordability pressures. Homes Direct has a strong western presence and about $70 million in annualized revenue across 11 acquired stores. Homes Direct operates retail locations and acts as a retailer and broker for third-party manufacturers rather than building homes. The acquisition gives Champion Homes upside by capturing both retail and manufacturing margins, improving plant utilization by shifting more products to Champion sources. Potential synergies include more efficient retail operations and shared marketing capabilities, supported by staffing and common capabilities. The deal is expected to facilitate organic growth across the western United States, supported by trusted brands and a focus on customer experience.
"Then, because we've added retail stores over the years, we do have some cost benefits, because we can have some common capabilities around marketing, and our overall staff levels support retail, Larson said, explaining that the deal will facilitate further organic growth throughout the western United States."
