Thank you for standing by. This is the conference operator. Welcome to the ECN Capital Fourth Quarter 2024 results conference call. As a reminder, all participants are in a listen-only mode, and the conference is being recorded. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. To join the question queue, you may press star, then one on your telephone keypad. Should you need assistance during the conference call, you may signal an operator by pressing star, then zero. I would now like to turn the meeting over to Katherine Moradiellos, VP of Finance and Investor Relations. Please go ahead, Katherine.
Thank you, Jen. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you all for joining us today. On the call, we have Steven Hudson, our Chief Executive Officer; Jackie Weber, Chief Financial Officer of ECN; Lance Hull, President of Triad Financial; Matt Heidelberg, Chief Operating Officer of Triad Financial; James Barry, Chief Financial Officer of Triad Financial; Mike Opdahl, President of Source One; and Sarah Reynolds, VP of Finance for our RV and Marine segment. A news release summarizing these results was issued this afternoon, and the audited financial statements and MD&A for the full year and three-month period ended December 31, 2024, have been filed with SEDAR+ . These documents are available on our website at www.ecncapitalcorp.com. Presentation slides to be referenced during the call are accessible in the webcast as well as in PDF format under the presentation section of the company's website.
Before we begin, I want to remind our listeners that some of the information we are sharing with you today includes forward-looking statements. These statements are based on assumptions that are subject to significant risk and uncertainties. I will refer you to the cautionary statements section of the MD&A for a description of such risk, uncertainties, and assumptions. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable, we can obviously give no assurance that the expectations of any forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. You should note that the company's earnings release, financial statements, MD&A, and today's call include references to non-IFRS measures, which we believe help to present the company and its operations in ways that are useful to investors. A reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to IFRS measures can be found in our MD&A. All figures are presented in U.S. dollars unless explicitly noted.
With these introductory remarks, I will now turn the call over to Steven Hudson, CEO.
Thanks, Katherine. Good afternoon. We are reporting $0.02 of earnings per share. This is impacted by two temporary items that are now reversing. The first item is the impact of unprecedented temporary severe hurricane. That's a sidebar. The third worst hurricane in U.S. history, which deferred $50 million-$75 million of Triad's originations into the first half of 2025. The second is we deferred $75 million of RVM asset sales into the first quarter into a new flow vehicle. I'd also like to report, and Jackie will provide more detail in a moment, a significant deleveraging of our balance sheet with a $325 million reduction. I'd like to highlight three items of manufactured housing. The first is the fourth quarter operating income of 17.2 , which is 16.8 million higher than the preceding quarter in 2023.
Financing our JV with Champion Homes is ahead of plan for 2024. The JV is performing well in both its retail and commercial lending platforms. Third, we are overfunded for fiscal year 2025. With respect to RV Marine, two items I'd like to highlight. The first is originations of 199 million, up 54% year over year, as well as the creation of a securitization vehicle for Source One, which provides funding on a flow-like basis and profitability in 2025. Lance.
Thank you, Steve. If you'll move over to slide eight, I'll run through some information here. First, Triad's adjusted operating income for the quarter was up 16.8 million year over year, and our origination revenue margin was within guidance at 5.7%. Our EBITDA margin was also up significantly year over year, reflecting the ongoing improvements from our operational efficiencies. We continue to grow our servicing and commercial lending businesses as well, with those now accounting for 39% of our revenues for the quarter. Looking forward, due to our progress in expanding relationships with our various funding partners, we are now in an overfunded position for 2025. Moving over to slide nine. Throughout 2024, chattel originations became a larger and larger portion of our business, with Q4 year over year at 81%.
While in Q4, we did see a 13.6% increase in chattel originations year over year, total originations came in slightly behind for the quarter. As Steve mentioned, this was driven by the unprecedented severe weather disruptions in the south that Steve mentioned. We are encouraged, however, as we're seeing a strong rebound in Q1 with applications and approval that puts us ahead of plan for the quarter. On slide ten, as I mentioned on the previous slide, momentum for our high-margin chattel is strong. The growth in applications and approvals that we saw in Q4 continues, and as I mentioned previously, puts us ahead of target in the current quarter. That gives us a high degree of confidence in our plan for 2025. We are also enhancing our community programs that we feel that we are confident will help drive growth in the months ahead.
Over to slide eleven, please. In the 18 months since I joined Triad, we've made significant investments to strengthen our team and strengthen the technology that supports our operations. As a result of these initiatives, we've been able to execute with much faster decision and processing times that have resulted in improvements to our look-to-book or capture ratios, as well as our customer service and dealer penetration. In addition to these customer-centric focused solutions, our expanded funding relationships and ongoing performance have resulted in greater flexibility in our product funding mix. This has allowed us to better meet market demands with added capacity for the varied credit profiles of today's homebuyers. Now, regarding the tech and system enhancements I mentioned, I'll highlight two of the most significant related upgrades. First, updates to our loan origination system in Compass are helping take full advantage of the platform and streamline origination activities.
Our custom dealer portal, Triad Connect, was launched in Q4. To date, we have activated more than 150 of our partnering dealers and continue toward activation of all of our retail and community accounts. With that, I am going to take you through a few slides to take a look at this portal. As you log in, each person will have an individual log in. This happens to be mine. Most retailers are only going to be able to see what is involved in their store. We will log in now as if we were one of our captive retail stores, in this case, regional enterprises. You will see you get a list of all of the applications that are currently in process with this retailer. They have a couple of views.
They can either look at the application and decide to go into one of them. From this point, they can see a status on the application. They can see what conditions are remaining. Right through the portal, they can go and upload conditions to satisfy what were needed. They simply drag and drop, hit upload, and it goes straight to the loan file. They can also take a look at all loans that are in process and look at their general workflow on what is needed, showing conditions by stage for each one. In this case, if we take the top loan and look at the outstanding credit condition, we need a copy of the Social Security card. Again, they can drag and drop and upload to the loan file. Lastly, they have an opportunity if they want to submit a new application.
They can do so through the portal. Simply select their store, put in the customer's name and Social Security number, and hit upload. That comes straight to our origination system. We'll continue to update and add functionality to Triad Connect as we gain more user feedback in this product release. We're excited about the continuous improvement to our processing and cycle times that this initiative is bringing to Triad, to our customers, to our partnering retailers and community operators, our loan brokers, and all who interact with our platform. I will now turn it over to Matt Heidelberg.
Thank you, Lance. Starting on slide 13, we're happy to report that credit performance remains strong. As seen in the graph on the top right, delinquencies are seasonally higher in the fourth quarter, but within expectations. The bottom graphs show you that our managed assets continue to grow and charge-offs remain low. On slide 14, our commercial balances are flat quarter over quarter, but up 17% year over year. Dealers typically wait to rebuild inventory until the first quarter, and that's what we're seeing today. Year-to-date 2025, commercial balances are up approximately $20 million, positioning ourselves very well for the year ahead. Taking it to slide 15, the Champion Financing Floor Plan balance continues to build, which is helping to drive loan volume that benefits both the joint venture and our growing list of funding partners.
We're very happy with the progress we've made over the past year and look forward to a continued partnership with Champion Homes as we look ahead. Moving to slide 16, this table summarizes originations by quarter and year, which I'll leave with you, and I will be handing it over to James.
Thank you, Matt. Slide 17 features examples of the manufactured housing product Triad finances today. We believe manufactured housing will play a crucial role in addressing the nation's housing affordability challenges, which stem from a significant imbalance between the supply and demand of housing. It is estimated that the current U.S. housing stock deficit is 3.2 million units. Manufactured housing continues to be an attractive alternative to site-built homes with roughly a 70% smaller loan size. We also see new demographics, Millennials and Gen Z, gravitating to manufactured housing based on recent survey data. This is a significant shift in sentiment in what is a large and important demographic. These tailor and support the industry generally, Triad's 2025 loan production targets specifically. Turning to slide 18, Triad is reiterating its full year 2025 guidance shared in Q3.
Key highlights include $1.7 billion-$1.9 billion of originations in 2025, inclusive Champion Finance.
What is it? 1.7?
Which represents year-over-year growth of 37% at the midpoint. We expect a blended origination revenue yield of 6.5% driven by higher-margin chattel productions. Origination revenue is expected to comprise 55% of total revenue, a balance driven by growth in managed balances from our commercial and servicing businesses to 6.75 billion at the midpoint. Operating expenses include additional overhead and interest expense from the corporate simplification plan of integrating ECN corporate functions into Triad in 2025. With that, I will turn it to Steve to review RVM.
Thanks, James. On slide 20, just three highlights. The first is the origination levels, which Mike will speak to in a second, but up 54% year over year at $199 million. Call it 200 . Second of all, the creation of a new Securitization Facility on the bottom of the page for Source One assets, which will increase our flow arrangements and profitability in 2025. On the bottom of 20, on three, I'd like to highlight is the impact. If you look at Q3, 3.3 versus 0.1 this quarter, that's the impact of moving the flow sale from one quarter to the next quarter. Hence, you'll see Q1 of 2025 up significantly because we moved a sale from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025. On 21, just highlighting the continued advancements in originations. If you look to the fourth quarter of 2024, approvals up 36%, originations up 54%.
I know Mike Opdahl will speak to his approval pipeline shortly, but a large embedded approval pipeline speaks strongly for a strong 2025. On page 22, Hans is traveling on business, so I'm stepping in for Hans. Really can't fill his shoes, but I will try. IFG had a great quarter with originations up 45% year over year. They had a significant expansion in their marketing team. They hired six incremental sales agents in the latter part of 2024, which will drive strong incremental results in 2025, focusing on the Northwest and Northeast markets and solidifying key markets such as Florida and Georgia. This incremental team, already working hard, contributed $25 million in originations in the fourth quarter of 2024 and is expected to add at least 75 in 2025. Excited for IFG's prospects in 2025. Mike.
Thank you, Steve. Good afternoon, everyone. Let's jump to slide 23. As Steve mentioned, 2024 was a very strong rebound year for our RV Marine businesses, with Source One's originations up 45% despite challenging market conditions. We continued to build momentum throughout the year, closing our fourth quarter with approvals up 66% and originations up 79%, the highest growth rate in Source One's history. This momentum is carrying over into 2025. Our January originations were the highest ever, up 65% year over year, and February will be our fifth straight record-breaking month. As we enter the spring selling season with over 125 million approvals in our pipeline, we anticipate a high conversion ratio and a record-breaking first quarter. Now, a few comments on operations and ongoing initiatives. We spent the second half of 2024 strengthening our sales team, doubling the size while focusing on new market opportunities.
We now reach into 47 states. We continue to focus on maximizing efficiencies within all RV Marine businesses. In the fourth quarter, we completed the initial integration of Source One and IFG's back office, decreasing OpEx while improving operational workflows. We continue to refine our integration with IFG and FAS system and believe this channel is capable of generating at least 25 million in accretive originations this year. Our auto decisioning underwriting module has launched, and we are targeting 80% of RV decisions to be automated, dramatically reducing turn times. In regards to funding, as Steve mentioned, with our new 175 million Securitization Facility and being fully funded with our traditional origination partners and forward flow programs, we are very, very well positioned for 2025.
Turning to slide 24, the key takeaway here, as the graph on the right illustrates, is that coming off of the market challenges of 2023, Source One is successfully executing our take-share strategies and significantly outpacing the industry. To put our 2024 gains in context, the anticipated recovery in RV and Marine sales were slow to materialize as a combination of inflationary pressures, high interest rates, and election year uncertainty resulted in tepid demand, with overall unit sales down in both RV and Marine. However, wholesale shipments have increased for four consecutive quarters, and January RV total shipments were up almost 28%. We are confident of the continued recovery as the year progresses. With an approval pipeline double that of 2024, we look forward to building on our momentum in 2025. Now, I'd like to introduce Sarah Reynolds, VP of Finance for RV Marine.
With over 15 years of experience in public accounting and financial management for publicly listed companies, Sarah joined ECN in August, and it has been a terrific addition to our team. Sarah?
Thank you, Mike. Turning to slide 26, we remain confident in our 2025 guidance for the RV Marine segment, with originations of 1.2 billion-1.4 billion and end-of-year assets under management of 1.5 billion-2.5 billion. Our investments in systems, people, and more specifically the sales teams, the synergies within the RV Marine segment, and the acquisition of Paramount have us well positioned for growth. As such, revenue is expected to be 54 million-66 million, with servicing revenue contributing 42%-44% of total revenue. The segment continues to implement operational improvements, with increased scale driving expanded operating margin. Over to Jackie.
Thank you, Sarah. Turning to page 28 for our consolidated operating highlights. Adjusted operating income before tax of 9.2 million, improved from an operating loss before tax of 14.3 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting the turnaround in operations and margin improvement. Adjusted net income to common shareholders was 4.4 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to the low end of our guidance of $0.05 and compared to a loss of $0.05 in the prior year quarter. Current quarter results were temporarily impacted by weather on origination volume, which is now recovering, and to a lesser extent, deferred sales of on-balance sheet assets at our RV and Marine segment. On a full year basis, adjusted net income to common shareholders was $0.09 per share, compared to $0.10 at the low end of our guidance range.
Turning to page 29, the balance sheet, I'd highlight here that we've reduced total debt by 325 million during the year, and our total ending debt of 576 million was within our guidance range of 500-700 million. The decrease in total debt reflects the continued reduction in our held for trading finance assets, which are now back down to 2022 levels at approximately 220 million. Turning to page 30, total revenue increased to 55.2 million compared to total adjusted revenue of 40.2 million in the prior year quarter, which reflects margin improvement at Triad and increased volume in RV and Marine, as well as growth in servicing of both business segments. Operating expenses decreased on a quarter-over-quarter basis, reflecting reductions at manufactured housing and corporate. Interest income and interest expense each decreased as a result of lower on-balance sheet finance assets in the year.
These changes drove the 9.2 million of adjusted operating income compared to a loss of 14.3 million in the prior year. On page 31, manufactured housing operating expenses decreased from the prior year quarter, reflecting their operational efficiencies, and RV and Marine operating expenses were up as a result of the acquisition of Paramount, as well as our continued investments and initiatives that we expect to drive margin improvement in 2025. Turning to page 32, we ended the quarter with under 220 million in our on-balance sheet held for trading portfolio, which is down from 440 million in Q4 2023. This includes 144 million at Triad and 73 million at RV and Marine.
Lastly, on page 33, we remain confident in 2025, and we are reiterating our 2025 financial forecast of adjusted EPS of $0.19-$0.25, with finance assets in the range of 400 million-600 million and total debt of 500 million-700 million. With that, I'll turn back to Steve.
Thanks, Jackie. On slide 35, a few closing comments. First, our earnings were temporarily impacted by two items that we highlighted earlier. I'm happy looking at the January and February results that they are now reversing. Second, our corporate simplification process is proceeding as planned. I am reiterating our 2025 guidance provided on the third quarter call. I think it's safe to assume that our turnaround is now complete in 2024, and we're well positioned for substantial growth and profitability in 2025. Before I ask for questions, I'd like to do a shout-out to my two daughters. First, my daughter Nicole, who was promoted to a LoanPods officer at Triad, which was great to hear. My second daughter, Shauna, is about to write her first CPA exams. Congratulations to both of you and good luck. With that, Operator, I'll open the call.
Thank you. We will now take analyst questions from the telephone lines. If you have a question, please press star, then one on your telephone keypad. You will hear a tone acknowledging your request. If you're using a speakerphone, please lift your handset before pressing any keys. To withdraw your question, please press pound, then one. There will be a brief pause while the participants register for questions. Our first question will come from Nik Priebe with CIBC.
Okay, thanks. I just wanted to stay on the theme of extreme weather events in Q4. Correct me if I'm wrong. I wouldn't think that California would be a major market for Triad, but I just wanted to ask if originations could be impacted at all by the LA wildfires in Q1.
Yeah, this is Lance Hull. California is a significant market area for us, most of it being more it's more focused on used homes. While we do anticipate some impact from the wildfires in the southern part of the state, we are also very diverse across the entire state. While we've seen some disruption, it was nothing like what we saw from the storms that hit the south and southeast in the first.
Oh, interesting. Okay. Standing here today, we're about two months into the quarter. Steve, I was just wondering if you could give us a bit of sense of what you're seeing kind of year to date in terms of Triad origination volumes and maybe just how that's tracking relative to expectations in the early part of the year here.
Yeah, thanks. The volumes are tracking towards our forecasted expectations. We've still got another month to go. January is obviously a light month. February was on track, and March appears to be very strong. Plus or minus 10 million, that's basically in line with our forecast. I think about your comment about California, which is a good question. We haven't seen a material impact to the overall origination volumes that we saw. The issue with the weather we had in the fourth quarter is the ground got saturated, and you can't set homes when you can't put foundations in, which had a dramatic impact. Actually, more than I thought, but similar to what we announced in 2022. I forget which hurricane that was, but we had $40 million of impact to originations in 2022, which reversed over the next two quarters.
Nick, I think we're in the same position. Likewise, I've looked at the forecast for RV Marine, and I'm happy with where we're at.
Okay. Yeah, that's all good. Just my last question. Can you help us understand the variability of origination revenue margin at Triad? I recognize it was pretty middle of the road this quarter. Looked like it was generally in line with guidance, but it's oscillated quite a bit period to period in both directions. I know it's influenced to some degree by mix shift, but is there some element of interest rate sensitivity driving that? Are there any other influences that might help us kind of predict it a little better short term?
Yeah. Hi, Nik. This is James. You're right that gain on sale margins, they do fluctuate based on product and funding mix, offtake capacity, who we're selling loans through to. There was some compression in Q4 related to the volatility in rates given the extreme move quarter over quarter. Overall, the 5.7% in the quarter and the 6.9% on the year were in line with our guidance, and we remain confident with our 2025 outlook of 6.5%.
Okay. All right. That's it for me. I'll turn it over. Thank you.
We will move to our next question from Tom McKinnon with BMO Capital Markets.
Yeah, thanks. Question with respect to RV and Marine. The impact of the new flow arrangement, which one of the lines would it have impacted here? Would it have hurt revenue, or would it have been an impact on?
It would have been, Tom, it would have been on the if you flip back to page, our system's gone down here, so I'm on paper. But if you go back.
Slide 20.
Yeah. Slide 20, but yeah, just give me one second. It goes through the origination revenue. If you look at Q3 2024, Tom, 6.4 million is what we transferred assets into flow vehicle. In Q4, we did not transfer. We held in our balance sheet. In Q1 2025, you will see origination revenue up significantly as we move that 75 million into the vehicle. That is where it flows through.
Okay. Because the 3.9 kind of looks to be in around 2% of the originations. I think your guide for 2025 is for originations revenue to be around 2% of the originations.
You got two things in that line, Tom. You got gain on sale and servicing revenue, the MSR or LSR. I can get back to you. That is the, you'll see a Q1 2025 number closer to that $6 million-$7 million number because of the moving in there.
Okay.
Once again, if you'd like to ask a question, you may signal by pressing star one at this time. Our next question will come from Jaeme Gloyn with National Bank.
Thanks. Good evening. Just wanted to get a finer touch on the January, February originations in manufactured housing. You mentioned it's ahead of plan. What we know is the full year plan would suggest 25% plus growth in originations in 2025 versus 2024. What we don't quite have a sense of is the quarter-to-quarter movement. When you say it's ahead of plan, would it be ahead of that 25% growth rate in Q1 2025, or would it be maybe something lower as that kind of growth builds through 2025?
I think it's all open at that point, then pass it to James. It's consistent. When we gave guidance in Q3, we also gave quarterly guidance. The origination level is consistent with that guidance we gave on earnings per share. James, do you want to add any color?
Yeah. I think there's obviously some seasonality in our business that you're familiar with, but we are seeing an acceleration into Q1, and Q2 will be our big quarter for originations.
Okay. I wanted to dig in on a couple of things in the manufactured housing results. The first one is just on the servicing income. It looks like there's a couple of impacts that are affecting the servicing line item in this quarter: fair value of retained servicing asset, timing of bulk portfolio sales, and bulk portfolio sales on a servicing release basis. Can you kind of quantify what the impact of that was in Q4? I guess the more important question is, is this something that flows through into 2025, or is this purely a 2024? Are these three factors purely 2024?
Yeah. The servicing yield is primarily based on the mix of the service asset and then also kind of the cadence of loan sales during the quarter. It marginally declined quarter over quarter, but we are guiding to about 80-90 basis points in 2025. That is what you can expect going forward.
Okay. These factors could have an impact in 2025 from quarter to quarter. Is that what I'm supposed to understand? It's just it's going to be within that 80-90 basis point range for the full year?
I think that's correct. Predominantly, all of our production is sold on a servicing retained basis. That aspect of servicing release sales will not be a recurring theme in 2025, but we are guiding to the 80-90 basis points of yield going forward.
Okay. The second piece, I just noticed that I guess it's good to see this, that there's some unrealized gains on interest rate hedging in the quarter. That's included in your adjusted operating income. Is that, let's go next one more quarter forward, rates are coming down, we're going to have losses flow through here. I would think of this as maybe not core earnings and should be something that's adjusted out. Maybe walk me through how you're thinking about the interest rate gains and losses that are going to be flowing through in 2025.
Hey, James. It's Jackie. What I would say there is I think it's fair to include it above the line. The reason I say that is there would be a corresponding, I'll call it fair value in the originations line. There's a little bit of geography mismatch just because of the accounting rules around it. In total, it nets out above the line.
Okay. There'll be whatever gain we see in one quarter, we'll see an equal loss on the origination fee income line and vice versa if rates are moving in a different direction?
Correct. They go opposite ways. We're working on getting hedge accounting for some of this so that it'll net in the same line. To the extent that you see a gain or loss unrealized, just know that there is an offset in originations revenue.
Okay. Good. That's clear there. Just one more for me, or I guess maybe two more. Sorry. Just the first one on securitization, this new Securitization Facility. Is this an on-balance sheet facility, or how is that structured exactly from ECN's perspective?
Yeah, Jaeme. It's going to be a non-recourse. We're going to sell through all the levels of AA, AA to the top, right through to the single BPs. We will have a derecognition, i.e., gain on sale.
Good to hear. Then the last one, I'm not sure I quite caught this, but you mentioned something in the RV Marine comments about FAS. Sorry if I'm not catching the acronym or maybe I misheard. Can you just explain what that is?
FAS was an acquisition by IFG in the middle of 2024. It's a software platform that pretty much state-of-the-art tech stack. Source One is integrating with that so that we'll be able to process applications more effectively.
Okay. Understood. All right. Thank you.
We will move next to Stephen Boland with Raymond James.
Thanks. Just, Steve, you're definitely how to frame this. Very big on guidance. You didn't hit the 2024 guidance, 10-16. I think it came in at 9. Q4 definitely was light. Is there any way to how do we get more confidence that 2025 guidance is definitely achievable? It's a big jump from what 2024 is. I know you had issues in Q1 and certainly here in Q4. Is 2025 the year that things kind of normalize in terms of margins, excluding weather events? What can you say in terms of giving us some confidence that the numbers are going to be hit? I know it's a general question, Steve.
That's a good question. I think if you look to it's hard to whether it was the third or second worst hurricane season in history. I think if you look to Q3, at $0.05 a share being normal production for us, that's what gives us confidence. The $0.04 and $0.05 of Q2 and Q3 before our world changed before the world changed in the U.S. There's a map of I hate using weather as an excuse, Steph, but the weather was unprecedented. Look to Q2 and Q3 as what this business can do.
Okay. That was a high-level question. Just when you report to the guidance was 5-8 for the quarter, I know you missed $50-70 million in originations. What would you say is the delta there, even to the bottom of the guidance? Was it the $50-70 million was a point, the compression in the margin was a point, or two points? What would you say is the delta there in terms of where the.
Yeah. The biggest was for the loss in originations you got with servicing rights put in, call it 6.5-7. And the same sort of number for the 75 deferral on RV Marine. And that gives you 3.5 points. I know you're trying to do the reconciliation. It brings you up to your nickel.
Okay. That's all for me. Thanks. Thanks very much.
We have a follow-up question from Jaeme Gloyn with National Bank.
Yep. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I heard that last answer to Steve correctly. We got $0.02 of EPS. Guide was, let's say, the low end was $0.05. You are saying a cent from MH volumes, a cent from MH origination fee rates, and then a cent from RV Marine. Two of those have been deferred into Q1 2025. The other, obviously, fee rates, that is kind of done and gone. Did I understand that correctly?
Yeah. I think, Jaeme, what you heard was that the hurricane impact was $0.015 between gain on sale and MSR loan servicing rights. And a similar number for RV Marine, about $0.014-$0.016. Call it $0.03 between the two, which your $0.02 plus $0.03 gets you to the low end of $0.05.
Right. Right. What we should think about going into Q1 2025 is whatever our base is now, let's say it's 2-3 cents, if I'm remembering the guidance correctly. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. Is that 2-3 cents should get a cent and a half lift from the RV Marine push into Q1, and then even maybe a little bit more of a lift from the MH volumes that got deferred into Q1 and Q2. I mean, it looks like we should be towards the high end, if not even above that 2-3 cents in Q1, all else equal. Am I thinking about this in a fair way?
Yeah. There's no doubt that we have tailwinds coming into Q1. It's still early in the quarter. We're halfway through the quarter. We certainly have tailwinds coming into it.
Okay. Thank you.
We will move next to Stephen Boland with Raymond James.
Yeah. Sorry. Just Steve, one more question. When we look at the stock over the past, I don't know, maybe say one year here, anywhere from under two to over three, is there any thought in, I don't know, trying to attract maybe more institutional buyers by consolidation? I mean, you've got a big share count. Is there a thought of doing anything on that side, like a 5 to 1 or something to that effect that maybe gets the stock price out of that low number that may attract a little bit more institutional interest? If that's a consideration at all in your mind.
Yeah. Happy to take it away as a thought, Steve. I have not thought about it, but happy to take it away and see if that is something we should pursue. As you know, we have had strong institutional support. Love to get on the road and do a little bit of a roadshow, given that we have now turned around the company. Let us take it away.
Okay. Thanks, Steve.
If there are no further questions registered, this concludes today's conference call. You may now disconnect your lines. Thank you for participating.
