14. Commitments and Contingencies

Sponsorship and Other Agreements

The Company enters into sponsorship and brand licensing agreements from time to time. Current sponsorship agreements run through 2030. The sponsorship and brand licensing agreements consist of annual fees payable in aggregate of $4.3 million in 2026, $2.2 million in 2027, $1.0 million in 2028, $0.9 million in 2029 and $0.9 million in 2030, which are recognized to expense over the expected benefit period.

The Company enters into subscription agreements from time to time. Currently there are subscription agreements for future software services consisting of annual fees payable as follows: $28.6 million in 2026, $20.6 million in 2027, $4.3 million in 2028, $2.6 million in 2029, $2.4 million in 2030, and $4.1 million thereafter. Expense is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Self-Insurance Program

Self-insurance reserves represent amounts established as a result of insurance programs under which the Company self-insures portions of the business risks. The Company carries substantial premium-paid, traditional risk transfer insurance for various business risks. The Company self-insures and establishes reserves for the retention on workers’ compensation insurance, general liability, automobile liability, and employee health claims. The self-insured claims liability was approximately $35.4 million and $34.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The determination of such claims and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liability are continually reviewed and updated. The self-insurance accruals are calculated by actuaries and are based on claims filed and include estimates for claims incurred but not yet reported. Projections of future losses, including incurred but not reported losses, are inherently uncertain because of the varying nature of insurance claims and could be substantially affected if occurrences and claims differ significantly from these assumptions and historical trends. In addition, the Company has obtained letters of credit as required by insurance carriers. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, these letters of credit were $20.3 million and $19.2 million, respectively. This includes $15.4 million and $14.3 million for December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, issued under the Floor Plan Facility (see Note 4 — Inventories and Floor Plan Payables), and the balance issued under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities (see Note 10 — Long-Term Debt).

Litigation

Weissmann Complaint

On June 22, 2021, FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC (“FR Holdco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, filed a one-count complaint captioned FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC v. Steve Weissmann in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against Steve Weissmann (“Weissmann”) for

breach of contractual obligation under note guarantee (the “Note”) (the “Weissmann Complaint”). On October 8, 2021, Weissmann brought a counterclaim against FR Holdco and third-party defendants Marcus A. Lemonis, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, the Consumer National Broadcasting Company, Camping World, Inc. (“CW”), and Machete Productions (“Machete”) (the “Weissmann Counterclaim”), in which he alleges claims in connection with the Note and his appearance on the reality television show The Profit. Weissmann alleges the following causes of action against FR Holdco and all third-party defendants, including CW: (i) fraud; (ii) fraud in the inducement; (iii) fraudulent concealment; (iv) breach of fiduciary duty; (v) defamation; (vi) defamation per se; (vii) false light; (viii) intentional infliction of emotional distress; (ix) negligence; (x) unjust enrichment; and (xi) RICO § 1962. Weissmann seeks costs and damages in an amount to be proven at trial but no less than the amount in the Note (approximately $2.5 million); in connection with his RICO claim, Weissmann asserts he is entitled to damages in the amount of three times the Note. On February 18, 2022, NBCUniversal, CNBC, and Machete filed a motion to compel arbitration (the “NBC Arbitration Motion”). On May 5, 2022, an agreed order was filed staying the litigation in favor of arbitration. On May 31, 2022, FR Holdco filed an arbitration demand against Weissmann for collection on the Note. Weissmann filed his response and counterclaims, and third-party claims against FR Holdco, CW, Marcus A. Lemonis, NBCUniversal, and Machete on July 7, 2022. On or about July 21, 2022, FR Holdco and the other respondents filed their responses and affirmative defenses. On March 11, 2024, FR Holdco’s arbitration demand and the Weissmann arbitration demand were tried before a single arbitrator pursuant to the JAMS streamlined arbitration rules in a confidential arbitration hearing. On May 23, 2024, the arbitrator issued an interim award in favor of FR Holdco in the amount of $4,318,892, plus interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees as set forth in the Tumbleweed bankruptcy plan and to be determined by the arbitrator in subsequent proceedings. On July 31, 2024, the arbitrator heard the parties’ arguments on the amount of attorneys’ fees and costs owed to FR Holdco, after Weissmann conceded in a written briefing the obligation to pay attorneys’ fees and costs to FR Holdco as the prevailing party. On September 12, 2024, the arbitrator issued a final award in favor of FR Holdco in the amount of $4,990,006, in the manner described in the Tumbleweed bankruptcy plan. Weissmann is jointly and severally liable for $4,106,884 of that amount. On September 24, 2024, Weissmann and Tumbleweed filed a Petition to Vacate Arbitration Award in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles. On September 27, 2024, FR Holdco, CW, Marcus A. Lemonis, NBCUniversal, and Machete filed a Petition to Confirm Arbitration Award in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles. On January 16, 2025, Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles granted the Petition to Confirm Arbitration Award and denied the Petition to Vacate Arbitration Award, concluding the litigation. On July 8, 2025, Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles entered the Judgment in favor of FR Holdco, CW, Marcus A. Lemonis, NBCUniversal, and Machete. On August 21, 2025, Weissmann and Tumbleweed filed a notice of appeal. On November 25, 2025, Weissmann and Tumbleweed filed their opening brief in the Second Appellate District of the Court of Appeal of the State of California. FR Holdco, CW, Marcus Lemonis, NBCUniversal, and Machete filed their response brief on February 20, 2026. There can be no assurances that we will be able to collect amounts owed pursuant to the Arbitration Award.

Tumbleweed Complaint

On November 10, 2021, Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, Inc. (“Tumbleweed”) filed a complaint against FR Holdco, CW, Marcus A. Lemonis, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, and Machete Productions in which Tumbleweed alleges claims in connection with the Note and its appearance on the reality television show The Profit (the “Tumbleweed Complaint”), seeking primarily monetary damages. Tumbleweed alleges the following claims against the defendants, including FR Holdco and CW: (i) fraud; (ii) false promise; (iii) breach of fiduciary duty (and aiding and abetting the same); (iv) breach of contract; (v) breach of oral contract; (vi) tortious interference with prospective economic advantage; (vii) fraud in the inducement; (viii) negligent misrepresentation; (ix) fraudulent concealment; (x) conspiracy; (xi) unlawful business practices; (xii) defamation; and (xiii) declaratory judgment. On April 21, 2022, the Court granted a motion to compel arbitration filed by NBCUniversal and joined by all defendants, including FR Holdco, CW, and Marcus A. Lemonis, compelling Tumbleweed’s claims to arbitration. Tumbleweed served its arbitration demand on FR Holdco, CW, and Marcus A. Lemonis on May 17, 2022. FR Holdco, CW, and Marcus A. Lemonis filed responses and affirmative defenses on May 31, 2022. On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the JAMS streamlined arbitration rules,

the Tumbleweed Complaint was consolidated together with the Weissmann Complaint. The parties have exchanged discovery.

General

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business operations including, but not limited to, labor (including federal and state minimum wage and overtime requirements), advertising, real estate, promotions, quality of services, intellectual property, tax, import and export, anti-corruption, anti-competition, environmental, health and safety matters. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. No assurance can be made that these or similar suits will not result in a material financial exposure in excess of insurance coverage, which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Supplier Agreement

In the normal course of business, the Company will enter into agreements with its suppliers. In connection with the divestiture of CWDS in May 2024, the Company entered into a Supplier Agreement with the buyer that requires the Company to purchase an aggregate $250.0 million of product over the approximately 10-year term of the Supplier Agreement. Any shortfall under this aggregate purchase threshold results in an extension of the term of the Supplier Agreement and does not otherwise result in financial penalties. See Note 6 — Assets Held for Sale and Business Divestitures for a discussion of the divestiture of CWDS.

Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with certain officers. The agreements include, among other things, an annual bonus based on certain performance-based criteria and certain severance benefits in the event of a qualifying termination.

On December 2, 2025, Marcus A. Lemonis informed the Board that he would retire as Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and as a member of the Board, effective December 31, 2025. Following his retirement from his role as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Mr. Lemonis will continue to be employed with the Company in the non-executive role of Co-Founder and Special Advisor through December 31, 2026. In connection with Mr. Lemonis’ transition to the role of Co-Founder and Special Advisor, on

December 2, 2025, the Board approved a second amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Lemonis (the “Lemonis Second Employment Agreement”), which superseded and replaced his prior employment agreement effective as of January 1, 2026 (“Lemonis First Employment Agreement”).

The Company deemed the 2026 service conditions relating to the Lemonis Second Employment Agreement to be nonsubstantive for accounting purposes, so the Company accrued Mr. Lemonis’ 2026 salary of $1.5 million as of December 31, 2025, which was the date that Mr. Lemonis retired from the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. See Note 21 — Stock-Based Compensation Plans for details on Mr. Lemonis’ stock-based compensation and other compensation that may be settled in shares.

Financial Assurances

In the normal course of business, the Company obtains standby letters of credit and surety bonds from financial institutions and other third parties. These instruments guarantee the Company’s own future performance and provide third parties with financial and performance assurance in the event that the Company does not perform. These instruments support a wide variety of the Company’s business activities. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, outstanding standby letters of credit issued through our Floor Plan Facility were $15.4 million and $14.3 million, respectively, (see Note 4 — Inventories and Floor Plan Payables) and outstanding standby letters of credit issued through the Senior Secured Credit Facilities were $4.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively (see Note 10 — Long-Term Debt). As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, outstanding surety bonds were $25.0 million and $26.6 million, respectively. The underlying liabilities to which these instruments relate are reflected on the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets, where applicable. Therefore, no additional liability is reflected for the letters of credit and surety bonds themselves.

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
