The number of U.S. homes sold in the fourth quarter fiscal 2022 increased 11.1% to 6,580 despite the extra fiscal week in the prior year fourth quarter. Volume growth during the quarter was driven by continued strong demand and increased production levels. The ASP per U.S. home sold increased 30.7% to $87,800 due to price increases to offset inflation in materials, labor and transportation costs. The number of Canadian factory-built homes sold in the quarter decreased to 400 homes compared to 419 homes in the prior-year period due to the extra week in the fourth quarter of last year. Total backlog for Skyline Champion was $1.6 billion as of April 2, 2022, compared to $858.6 million as of April 3, 2021. Backlog growth was driven by strong order activity and higher average selling prices per home.
