Camping World has long been majority owned and controlled by its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Marcus Lemonis ("Lemonis"), and private equity firm Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. ("Crestview") and its affiliates. Historically, the Company specialized in selling recreational vehicles ("RVs") and related services such as travel assist programs, emergency roadside assistance, property and casualty insurance programs, extended vehicle service contracts, and vehicle financing and refinancing.
In October 2016, defendants took Camping World public in a $261 million initial public offering (the "IPO"). In the months that followed the IPO, defendants emphasized the Company's earnings growth and profit potential as Camping World engaged in a number of strategic acquisitions. Most significantly, in May 2017, Camping World announced that it would be expanding its operations to include retail stores for outdoor sporting supplies and accessories by acquiring certain assets of Gander Mountain Co. ("Gander") from bankruptcy.
Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company failed to successfully integrate the assets acquired from Gander due to operational failures; (ii) the acquisition of Gander assets negatively impacted the Company's profit margin, which consequently resulted in the Company's inability to meet previously provided financial guidance; (iii) the Company maintained material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, which resulted in numerous errors and misstatements in every quarterly reporting period since the IPO; and (iv) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
