**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- **Net Income**: Q3 net income was $44.1 million ($5.58 EPS) vs. $56.5 million ($6.90 EPS) YoY, driven by higher tax rate (23.5% vs. 18.6%) and elevated SG&A expenses ($81.4 million vs. $66 million YoY).

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Production Outlook**: Management expects to maintain current production rates in Q4, with flexibility to increase if spring demand strengthens. Plants are already running Saturdays to offset weather-related delays.
- **Gross Margin Outlook**: Tariffs and input costs could pressure margins in Q4, but long-term focus on multi-section homes and retail integration should mitigate risks.
- **Synergy Cadence**: $2.5 million of annualized synergies ($10 million total) are expected to flow through in Q4, with further savings materializing in FY27.
- **Tax Rate**: Expects Q4 rate to normalize to ~22% after one-time deal costs are removed from Q3's 23.5% rate.
