Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


Note 1: Basis of Presentation


Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms "Winnebago, Industries," "WGO," "we," "us," and "our" in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.


In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2018.31, 2019.


Fiscal Period


We follow a 52-/53-week fiscal year, ending the last Saturday in August. Fiscal 20192020 is a 53-week52-week year, while Fiscal 20182019 was a 52-week53-week year. The extra (53rd) week in Fiscal 2019 will bewas recognized in our fourth quarter.


Subsequent Events


In preparing the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. There were no material subsequent events.events, except for the items described below.


NewDividend

On March 17, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share payable on April 29, 2020 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on April 15, 2020.

Interest Rate Swap

On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for an incremental notional amount of $25 million to exchange floating for fixed rate interest payments for our LIBOR-based borrowings. The interest rate swap had a fair value of zero at inception, is effective March 4, 2020 and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap agreement, with a maturity date of March 4, 2025, converts the Company's interest rate payments on $25 million of variable-rate, 1-month LIBOR-based debt to a fixed interest rate of 1.364%.

On March 6, 2020, the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement for an incremental notional amount of $25 million to exchange floating for fixed rate interest payments for our LIBOR-based borrowings. The interest rate swap had a fair value of zero at inception, is effective March 10, 2020 and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap agreement, with a maturity date of March 4, 2025, converts the Company's interest rate payments on an incremental $25 million of variable-rate, 1-month LIBOR-based debt to a fixed interest rate of 1.265%.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. On March 23, 2020, the Company announced that it would temporarily suspend production at its facilities anticipated to last through April 12, 2020. While the Company expects this matter to negatively impact its results of operations, the extent to which the coronavirus may impact its liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations is uncertain.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issuedWe adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. This ASU and the related amendments must be adopted on a modified retrospective basis to either each prior reporting period presented or as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Based on the effective dates, we expect to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020September 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We have established an implementation plan and have made progress on this plan including surveying our businesses, assessing our lease population, and compiling information on our active leases. In addition, we are determining needed changeselected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance with the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification, and we elected the hindsight practical expedient. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of net lease assets and lease liabilities of $33.8 million and $33.4 million, respectively, as of September 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our policies, business processes, internal controls,consolidated net earnings and disclosures. Basedhad no impact on our analysis,cash flows.

Also, in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issuedadopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-122016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326):Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and has since issued additional amendments. ASU 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 20182019 (our Fiscal 2020)2021), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020,2021, and we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.


Recently AdoptedIn December 2019, the Financial Accounting Pronouncements

InStandards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Simplifying the first quarterAccounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 (our Fiscal 2019, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)2022), which establishes a comprehensive five-step model forincluding interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We expect to adopt the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. This model is based on the core principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We elected the modified retrospective method of adoption, which we applied to contracts not completed as of the initial date of adoption. Application of the transition requirements had no material impact on operations or beginning retained earnings. While certain control processes and procedures were updated for this adoption, the changes did not have a material impact on our internal control over financial reporting framework.

Alsonew guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, and we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Business Combinations

Newmar Corporation

On November 8, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 15, 2019 (the "Purchase Agreement"), Winnebago completed the acquisition of 100% of Newmar Corporation, Dutch Real Estate Corp., New-Way Transport, and New-Serv (collectively “Newmar”). Newmar is a leading manufacturer of Class A and Super C motorized recreation vehicles that are sold through an established network of independent authorized dealers throughout North America.
The following table summarizes the total consideration paid for Newmar, noting that it is subject to purchase price adjustments as stipulated in the Purchase Agreement:

(in thousands)November 8, 2019
Cash$267,749 
Winnebago Industries shares: 2,000,000 at $46.2992,572 
Total$360,321 

The cash portion of the purchase price of the acquisition and certain transaction expenses were funded through the private placement of convertible senior notes (as further described in Note 9, Long-Term Debt) and cash on hand. The stock consideration was discounted by 7.0% due to lack of marketability because of the one year lock-up restrictions.

10

The total purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of Newmar acquired, based on their fair values at the date of the acquisition. We believe that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values, but we retrospectively adopted ASU 2016-15, Classificationare waiting for additional information necessary to finalize the working capital adjustment as defined in the purchase agreement and the amounts related to income taxes. Thus, the preliminary measurements of Certain Cash Receiptsfair value reflected are subject to change. We expect to finalize the valuation and Cash Payments (Topic 230), which provides guidancecomplete the purchase price allocation no later than one year from the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values assigned to the Newmar net assets acquired and the determination of net assets:
(in thousands)November 8, 2019
Cash$3,469

Inventories82,621

Product warranties15,147 
Promotional3,593 
Other11,637 
Deferred tax liabilities968 
Total liabilities assumed49,674 
Total purchase price$360,321 

The goodwill, recognized in our Motorhome segment, is primarily attributable to the value of the workforce, reputation of founders, customer and dealer growth opportunities, and expected synergies. Key areas of cost synergies include increased purchasing power for eight specific cash flow issues withraw materials and supply chain consolidation. Goodwill is expected to be mostly deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the objectiveother intangible assets acquired:

Trade name$98,000  Indefinite
Dealer network64,000  12.0
Backlog8,800  0.5
Non-compete agreements1,300  5.0

The fair value of reducing the existing diversity in practice.trade name and dealer network were estimated using an income approach. Under the income approach, an intangible asset's fair value is equal to the present value of the future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. The adoptionfair value of this standard did not materially impact our statementsthe trade name was estimated using an income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method is based on the hypothetical royalty stream that would be received if we were to license the trade name and was based on expected revenues. The fair value of the trade name was estimated using an income approach, specifically the cost to recreate/cost saving method. This method uses the replacement of the asset as an indicator of the fair value of the asset. The useful life of the intangibles was determined considering the expected cash flows and no cash flow reclassifications were requiredused to measure the fair value of the intangible assets adjusted for the entity-specific factors including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that may limit the useful life of intangible assets. On the acquisition date, amortizable intangible assets had a weighted-average useful life of approximately 10.5 years.

The results of Newmar's operations have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the close of the acquisition within the Motorhome segment. The following table provides net revenues and operating income from the Newmar operating segment included in our consolidated results following the November 8, 2019 closing date:

The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that we would have achieved had the transaction actually taken place at the beginning of Fiscal 2019, and the unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of future financial operating results. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be realized from the integration of the acquisition.

Transaction costs related to the Newmar acquisition were $10.6 million, of which $10.0 million were expensed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 and $0.6 million were expensed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019. Transaction costs are included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Note 2:3: Business Segments


In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018, we revised our segment presentation. We have five6 operating segments: 1) Winnebago motorhomes,Grand Design towables, 2) Winnebago towables, 3) Grand Design towables,Winnebago motorhomes, 4) Newmar motorhomes, 5) Chris-Craft marine, and 6) Winnebago specialty vehicles, and 5) Chris-Craft marine.vehicles. We evaluate performance based on each operating segment's Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, which excludes certain corporate administration expenses and non-operating income and expense.


12

Table of Contents
Our two2 reportable segments include: 1) Motorhome (comprised of products that include a motorized chassis as well as other related manufactured products and services) and 2) Towable (comprised of products which are not motorized and are generally towed by another vehicle as well as other related manufactured products and services), which is an aggregation of the Winnebago towables and Grand Design towables and the Winnebago towables operating segments and 2) Motorhome (comprised of products that include a motorized chassis as well as other related manufactured products and services), which is an aggregation of the Winnebago motorhomes and Newmar motorhomes operating segments.


The Corporate / All Other category includes the Chris-Craft marine and Winnebago specialty vehicles and Chris-Craft marine operating segments as well as expenses related to certain corporate administration expenses for the oversight of the enterprise. These expenses include items such as corporate leadership and administration costs. Previously, these expenses were allocated to each operating segment.


Identifiable assets of the reportable segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and certain deferred tax balances. The general corporate assets are included in the Corporate / All Other category.


Prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current reportable segment presentation. The reclassifications included removing the corporate administration expenses from both the Motorhome and Towable reportable segments and removing Winnebago specialty vehicles from the Motorhome reportable segment, as we began to dedicate leadership and focus on these operations separately from our Winnebago motorhomes operations.

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM relies on internal management reporting that analyzes consolidated results to the net earnings level and operating segment's Adjusted EBITDA. Our CODM has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. Our CODM determines, in particular, resource allocation for, and monitors the performance of, the consolidated enterprise, the MotorhomeTowable segment, and the TowableMotorhome segment. The operating segments' management have responsibility for operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance within their respective segments. The accounting policies of both reportable segments are the same and are described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2018.31, 2019.


We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and other adjustments made in order to present comparable results from period to period. Examples of items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include acquisition-related fair-value inventory step-up, acquisition-related costs, restructuring expenses, and non-operating income.

(1)Relates to parts, accessories, and services.
(2)Relates to marine and specialty vehicle units, parts, accessories, and services.

We generate all of our operating revenue from contracts with customers. Our primary source of revenue is generated through the sale of manufactured motorized units, non-motorized towable units, and marine units to our independent dealer network (our customers). We also generate income through the sale of certain parts and services, acting as the principal in these arrangements. We apply the new revenue standard requirements to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations) with similar characteristics for transactions where it is expected that the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts (or performance obligations) within that portfolio. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods or services. Our transaction price consideration is fixed, unless otherwise disclosed below as variable consideration. We made an accounting policy election so that our revenue excludes sales and usage-based taxes collected.

Unit revenue

Unit revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control passes, which generally occurs when the unit is shipped to or picked-up from our manufacturing facilities by the customer, which is consistent with our past practice. Our payment terms are typically before or on delivery, and do not include a significant financing component. The amount of consideration received and recorded to revenue varies with changes in marketing incentives and offers to our customers. These marketing incentives and offers to our customers are considered variable consideration. We adjust the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed.

Our contracts include some incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. We have made an accounting policy election to not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. We have made an accounting policy to account for any shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control as a fulfillment cost that is accrued when control is transferred. Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the unit’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract. Contract costs incurred related to the sale of manufactured units are expensed at the point-in-time when the related revenue is recognized.

We do not have material contract assets or liabilities. We establish allowances for uncollectible receivables based on historical collection trends and write-off history.


Concentration of Risk

None of our dealer organizations accounted for more than 10% of our net revenue for the third quarter of Fiscal 2019 or for the third quarter of Fiscal 2018. In addition, none of our dealer organizations accounted for more than 10% of our net revenue for the first nine months of Fiscal 2019 or the first nine months of Fiscal 2018.

Note 4: 4: Derivatives, Investments, and Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis


We account for fair value measurements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measurement, and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.


Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels as follows:


Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.


Level 2 - Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in nonactive markets;
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.


Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Assets that fund deferred compensation


Our assets that fund deferred compensation are marketable equity securities measured at fair value using quoted market prices and primarily consist of equity-based mutual funds. These securities are primarily classified as Level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing stock prices are readily available. These securities fund the Executive Share Option Plan and the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Refer to Note 10, Employee and Retiree Benefits, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 201831, 2019 for additional information regarding these plans.


The proportion of the assets that will fund options which expire within a year are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining assets are classified as non-current and are included in Other assets.


Interest Rate Swap Contract


On January 23, 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap contract, which effectively fixed our interest rate on our $300.0 million term loan agreement ("Term Loan") for a notional amount that reducesreduced each December during the swap contract. As of May 25,August 31, 2019, we had $120.0 million of our Term Loan fixed at an interest rate of 5.32%. AsIn the first quarter of August 25, 2018,Fiscal 2020, we had $170.0 million of our Term Loan fixed at an interest rate of 5.32%. Theexited the swap contract expiresprior to its expiration on December 8, 2020.


The fair value of the interest rate swap iswas classified as Level 2 as it iswas determined based on observable market data. The asset iswas included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in value iswas recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) incomeloss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets since the interest rate swap has beenwas designated for hedge accounting.


Assets and Liabilities that are measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis


Our non-financial assets, which include goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, we must evaluate the non-financial asset for impairment. If an impairment has occurred, the asset is required to be recorded at the estimated fair value. NoNaN impairments were recorded for non-financial assets in the thirdsecond quarter of Fiscal 20192020 or the thirdsecond quarter of Fiscal 2018.2019.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Our financial instruments, other than those presented in the disclosures above, include cash, receivables, accounts payable, other payables, and long-term debt. The fair values of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and other payables approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 9, Long-Term Debt, for information about the fair value of our long-term debt.

Note 8: WarrantyProduct Warranties


We provide certain service and warranty on our products. From time to time, we also voluntarily incur costs for certain warranty-type expenses occurring after the normal warranty period to help protect the reputation of our products and the goodwill of our customers. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon historical warranty and service claims experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and cost experience becomes available.

Table of Contents
In addition to the costs associated with the contractual warranty coverage provided on our products, we also occasionally incur costs as a result of additional service actions not covered by our warranties, including product recalls and customer satisfaction actions. Although we estimate and reserve for the cost of these service actions, there can be no assurance that expense levels will remain at current levels or such reserves will continue to be adequate.

Credit Agreements

On November 8, 2016, we entered into a $125.0 million credit facility ("ABL"ABL Credit Facility") and a $300.0 million loan agreement ("Term LoanLoan") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("(the agreements governing the ABL Credit Agreement"). On December 8, 2017, we amended our Credit Agreement, which decreased the interest rate spread onFacility and the Term Loan, collectively the "Credit Agreements"). On October 22, 2019, our ABL Credit Facility was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the ABL. As of September 21, 2018, the amount that may be borrowed under the ABL was increasedcommitments thereunder to $165.0$192.5 million.


The Credit Agreement containsAgreements contain certain financial covenants. As of May 25, 2019,February 29, 2020, we are in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.Agreements.


Convertible Notes

On November 1, 2019, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.5% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expense payable by us, were approximately $290.4 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 1.5%, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020, and will mature on April 1, 2025, unless earlier converted or repurchased by us.

The Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election, at an initial conversion rate of 15.6906 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $63.73 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the "Indenture"). The Convertible Notes may be converted at any time on or after October 1, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in connection with a conversion of the Convertible Notes made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances set forth in the Indenture. It is our current intent to settle all conversions of the Convertible Notes through settlement of cash.

18

Table of Contents
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 1, 2024, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances:

(1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after December 31, 2019 if the closing sale price of the common stock is more than 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
(2) during the 5 consecutive business day period after any 5 consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes on each such trading day; or
(3) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events set forth in the indenture.

We may not redeem the Convertible Notes at our option prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes.

On October 29, 2019 and October 30, 2019, in connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “Hedge Transactions”) that cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount due, as the case may be, upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event that the market price of our common stock is greater than the strike price of the Hedge Transactions, which was initially $63.73 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the Hedge Transactions), corresponding to the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes.

On October 29, 2019 and October 30, 2019, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the “Warrant Transactions” and, together with the Hedge Transactions, the “Call Spread Transactions”), whereby we sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The initial strike price of the warrants is $96.20 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the Warrant Transactions), which is 100% above the last reported sale price of our common stock on October 29, 2019. The Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to our stockholders to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.
We used $28.6 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes to pay the cost of the Call Spread Transactions.
The Hedge Transactions and the Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, and are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Convertible Notes. Holders of the Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Call Spread Transactions.

Accounting Treatment of the Convertible Notes and Related Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions

The Call Spread Transactions were classified as equity. We bifurcated the proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes between liability and equity components. On the date of issuance, the liability and equity components were calculated to be approximately $215.0 million and $85.0 million, respectively. The initial $215.0 million liability component was determined based on the fair value of similar debt instruments excluding the conversion feature assuming a hypothetical interest rate of 8%. The initial $85.0 million ($64.1 million net of tax) equity component represents the difference between the fair value of the initial $215.0 million in debt and the $300.0 million of gross proceeds. The related initial debt discount of $85.0 million is being amortized over the life of the Convertible Notes as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method.

In connection with the above-noted transactions, we incurred approximately $9.6 million of offering-related costs. These offering fees were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds and accounted for as debt and equity issuance costs, respectively. We allocated $7.0 million of debt issuance costs to the liability component, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs within Long-term debt. These costs are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. The remaining $2.6 million of transaction costs allocated to the equity component were recorded as a reduction of the equity component.

Note 10: Leases

Our leases primarily include operating leases for office and manufacturing space and equipment. Our finance leases are primarily for real estate.For any lease with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the related lease assets and liabilities are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either operating or finance leases at the inception of an agreement where it is determined that a lease exists. We have lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, and we have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When the terms of multiple lease agreements are materially consistent, we have elected the portfolio approach for our asset and liability calculations.

Lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future payments over the lease term at commencement date. We generally use a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, including lease term, in determining the present value of future payments. Our assumed lease terms generally do not include options to extend or terminate the lease unless it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

Some of our real estate operating leases require payment of real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and insurance. In addition, certain of our leases are subject to annual changes in the consumer price index. These components comprise the majority of our variable lease cost and are excluded from the present value of our lease obligations. Fixed payments may contain predetermined fixed rent escalations. For our operating leases, we recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.

Note 11:12: Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Repurchase Commitments


Generally, manufacturers in our industries enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. Most dealers are financed on a "floorplan" basis under which a bank or finance company lends the dealer all, or substantially all, of the purchase price, collateralized by a security interest in the units purchased.


Our repurchase agreements generally provide that, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution, we will repurchase the financed merchandise. The terms of these agreements, which generally can last up to 24 months, provide that our liability will be the lesser of remaining principal owed by the dealer to the lending institution, or dealer invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. Our liability cannot exceed 100% of the dealer invoice. In certain instances, we also repurchase inventory from our dealers due to state law or regulatory requirements that

govern voluntary or involuntary relationship terminations. Although laws vary from state to state, some states have laws in place that require manufacturers of recreational vehicles or boats to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. Our total contingent liability on all repurchase agreements was approximately $1.0$1.4 billion and $879.0$874.9 million at May 25, 2019February 29, 2020 and August 25, 2018,31, 2019, respectively.


22

Table of Contents
Repurchased sales are not recorded as a revenue transaction, but the net difference between the original repurchase price and the resale price are recorded against the loss reserve, which is a deduction from gross revenue. Our loss reserve for repurchase commitments contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment regarding a number of factors. Our risk of loss related to these repurchase commitments is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous dealers and lenders. The aggregate contingent liability related to our repurchase agreements represents all financed dealer inventory at the period reporting date subject to a repurchase agreement, net of the greater of periodic reductions per the agreement or dealer principal payments. Based on these repurchase agreements and our historical loss experience, we establish an associated loss reserve which is included in Accrued expenses: Other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our accrued losses on repurchases were $0.9$1.3 million and $0.9 million at May 25, 2019February 29, 2020 and August 25, 2018,31, 2019, respectively. Repurchase risk is affected by the credit worthiness of our dealer network, and we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to establish the loss reserve for repurchase commitments.


There was no material activity related to repurchase agreements during the three and ninefirst six months ended May 25, 2019February 29, 2020 and May 26, 2018.February 23, 2019.


Litigation


We are involved in various legal proceedings which are ordinary and routine litigation incidental to our business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. While we believe the ultimate disposition of litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, there exists the possibility that such litigation may have an impact on our results for a particular reporting period in which litigation effects become probable and reasonably estimable. Though we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change related to these matters, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.  


Note 13: Revenue

We generate all of our operating revenue from contracts with customers. Our primary source of revenue is generated through the sale of manufactured motorized units, non-motorized towable units, and marine units to our independent dealer network (our customers).

Concentration of Risk

None of our dealer organizations accounted for more than 10% of our net revenue for the second quarter of Fiscal 2020, while one dealer organization accounted for more than 10% of our net revenue for the second quarter of 2019. In addition, none of our dealer organizations accounted for more than 10% of our net revenue for the first six months of Fiscal 2020 or 2019.

Note 12:14: Stock-Based Compensation


On December 11, 2018, our shareholders approved the Winnebago Industries, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2019 Plan") as detailed in our Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The 2019 Plan allows us to grant or issue non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, share awards, and other equity compensation to key employees and to non-employee directors. The 2019 Plan replaces our 2014 Omnibus Equity, Performance Award, and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the "2014 Plan").

The number of shares of our Common Stock that may be the subject of awards and issued under the 2019 Plan is 4.1 million, plus the shares subject to any awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan and our predecessor plan, the 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”), on December 11, 2018 that subsequently expire, are forfeited or canceled, or are settled for cash. Until such time, however, awards under the 2014 Plan and the 2004 Plan, respectively, that are outstanding on December 11, 2018 will continue to be subject to the terms of the 2014 Plan or 2004 Plan, as applicable. Shares remaining available for future awards under the 2014 Plan were not carried over into the 2019 Plan.

Beginning with our annual grant of restricted stock units in October 2018, we attach dividend equivalents to our restricted stock units equal to dividends payable on the same number of shares of WGO common stock during the applicable period. Dividend equivalents, settled in cash, accrue on restricted stock unit awards during the vesting period. No dividend equivalents are paid on any restricted stock units that are forfeited prior to the vesting date.


Stock-based compensation expense was $1.1$2.0 million and $1.4$2.1 million during the thirdsecond quarters of Fiscal 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, and $5.7$3.6 million and $5.0$4.6 million during the first ninesix months of Fiscal 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the award.



Note 13:15: Restructuring

These expenses include employee-related costs and accelerated depreciation for assets that will no longer be used.

We expect additional expenses of approximately $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019 and $1.0 million in Fiscal 2020, primarily related to asset-related charges andcurrent period mainly include adjustments for facility closure costs. We expect theseadditional net expenses to be partially offset by the corresponding savings generated by the project.of approximately $0.3 million in Fiscal 2020.


Note 14:16: Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns.


Our effective tax rate decreasedincreased to 18.9%20.1% for the ninefirst six months ended May 25, 2019February 29, 2020 from 28.2%18.4% for the ninefirst six months ended May 26, 2018February 23, 2019 due primarily to the enactmentfavorable impact in the prior year of the 2017 Tax Cutsresearch and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") on December 22, 2017 and net favorable discrete items, primarily attributable to R&D-relateddevelopment tax credits which totaled $3.6 million or 3.7%.

ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, provided guidance for companies that allowed for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts under ASC 740, Income Taxes. In accordance with this guidance, a company was required to reflect the income tax effect of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company's accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act was incomplete, but it was able to determine a reasonable estimate, the company was required to record a provisional estimate in the financial statements.

In accordance with ASC 740, we recorded non-cash provisional estimates to income tax expense in Fiscal 2018 as a result of revaluing all deferred tax assets and liabilities at the newly enacted Federal corporate income tax rate. We have not made any measurement period adjustments related to these items during the first nine months of Fiscal 2019 and are complete in analyzing and recording all aspects of the enactment of the Tax Act.


We file a U.S. Federal tax return, as well as returns in various international and state jurisdictions. Although certain yearsAs of February 29, 2020, our federal returns from Fiscal 2016 to present are no longer subject to examinationreview by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and variousService. With limited exception, state taxing authorities, net operating loss carryforwards generated in those years may still be adjusted upon examination by the IRS or state taxing authorities. As of May 25, 2019, our Federal returns from Fiscal 2015 to present continue to be subject to review by the IRS. With limited exception, our state returns from Fiscal 2014 to present continue to be subject to review by the state taxing jurisdictions. Several years may lapse before an uncertainWe are currently under review by certain U.S. state tax position is audited and finally resolved, and it is difficultauthorities for Fiscal 2015 through 2018. We believe we have adequately reserved for our exposure to predict the outcome of such audits.

It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Total reservesadditional payments for uncertain tax positions were not material.in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms "Winnebago, Industries," "we," "us," and "our" refers to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Unless otherwise noted, transactions and other factors significantly impacting our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity are discussed in order of magnitude.


Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2018,31, 2019 (including the information presented therein under Risk Factors), as well as our reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other publicly available information. All amounts herein are unaudited.


Overview


Winnebago Industries, Inc. is one of the leading U.S. manufacturers with a diversified portfolio of recreation vehicles ("RV"s) and marine products used primarily in leisure travel and outdoor recreation activities. We produce our motorhome units in Iowa;Iowa and Indiana; our towable units in Indiana; and our marine units in Florida. We distribute our RV and marine products primarily through independent dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada, who then retail the products to the end consumer. We also distribute our marine products internationally through independent dealers, who then retail the products to the end consumer.


Non-GAAP Reconciliation


This MD&A includes financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"), as well as certain adjusted or non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and other adjustments made in order to present comparable results from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, have been provided as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented herein. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similar measures used by other companies.


Refer to the Results of Operations - Current Quarter Compared to the Comparable Prior Year Quarter and the Results of Operations - First NineSix Months of Fiscal 20192020 Compared to the First NineSix Months of Fiscal 20182019 for a detailed reconciliation of items that impacted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We have included thisthese non-GAAP performance measuremeasures as a comparable measure to illustrate the effect of non-recurring transactions occurring during the reported periods and to improve comparability of our results from period to period. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because this measure excludesthese measures exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. Examples of items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include acquisition-related fair-value inventory step-up, acquisition-related costs, restructuring expenses, and non-operating income.


Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as our performance relative to competitors and peers; (b) to measure operational profitability on a consistent basis; (c) in presentations to the members of our board of directors to enable our board of directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in its assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company; (d) to evaluate potential acquisitions; and (e) to ensure compliance with covenants and restricted activities under the terms of our Credit Agreement.debt agreements. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

Business Combinations

Newmar Corporation

On November 8, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Newmar Corporation, Dutch Real Estate Corp, New-Way Transport, and New-Serv (collectively "Newmar") for total consideration of $360.3 million, which consisted of $267.7 million in cash, subject to purchase price adjustments as stipulated in the Purchase Agreement, and 2.0 million shares of Winnebago common stock that were valued at $92.6 million ($46.29 per share discounted at 7.0% due to lack of marketability because of one year lock-up restrictions). The cash portion of the purchase price of the acquisition and certain transaction expenses were funded through the private placement of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.5% convertible senior notes due 2025 ("Convertible Notes") (as further described in Note 9, Long-Term Debt) and cash on hand. Newmar is a leading manufacturer of Class A and Super C motorized recreation vehicles that are sold through an established network of independent authorized dealers throughout North America.

Reportable Segments


In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018, we revised our segment presentation. We have fivesix operating segments: 1) Winnebago motorhomes,Grand Design towables, 2) Winnebago towables, 3) Grand Design towables,Winnebago motorhomes, 4) Newmar motorhomes, 5) Chris-Craft marine, and 6) Winnebago specialty vehicles, and 5) Chris-Craft marine.vehicles. We evaluate performance based on each operating segment's Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above,below, which excludes certain corporate administration expenses and non-operating income and expense.


Our two reportable segments include: 1) Motorhome (comprised of products that include a motorized chassis as well as other related manufactured products and services) and 2) Towable (comprised of products which are not motorized and are generally towed by another vehicle as well as other related manufactured products and services), which is an aggregation of the Winnebago towables and Grand Design towables and the Winnebago towables operating segments and 2) Motorhome (comprised of products that include a motorized chassis as well as other related manufactured products and services), which is an aggregation of the Winnebago motorhomes and Newmar motorhomes operating segments.


The Corporate / All Other category includes the Chris-Craft marine and Winnebago specialty vehicles and Chris-Craft marine operating segments as well

as expenses related to certain corporate administration expenses for the oversight of the enterprise. These expenses include items such as corporate leadership and administration costs. Previously, these expenses were allocated to each operating segment.

Prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current reportable segment presentation. The reclassifications included removing the corporate administration expenses from both the Motorhome and Towable reportable segments and removing Winnebago specialty vehicles from the Motorhome reportable segment, as we began to dedicate leadership and focus on these operations separately from our Winnebago motorhomes operations.


Industry Trends


Key reported statistics for the North American RV industry are as follows:
Wholesale unit shipments: RV product delivered to the dealers, which is reported monthly by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association ("RVIA")
Retail unit registrations: consumer purchases of RVs from dealers, which is reported by Stat Surveys


We track RV Industry conditions using these key statistics to monitor trends and evaluate and understand our performance relative to the overall industry. The following is an analysis of changes in these key statistics for the rolling 12 months through AprilJanuary as of 20192020 and 2018:

Facility Expansion


Due to the rapid growth in our Towable segment, we have implemented facility expansion projects in our Grand Design towables and Winnebago towables operating segments. The Grand Design towables expansion project consisted of three new production facilities--two were completed in Fiscal 2018 and one was completed during the remaining is expected to be completed mid-Fiscalsecond quarter of Fiscal 2020. The facility expansion in the Winnebago towables division was completed in the third quarter of Fiscal 2019.


Enterprise Resource Planning System


In the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, our Board of Directors approved the strategic initiative of implementing an enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system to replace our legacy business applications. The new ERP platform will provide better support for our changing business needs and plans for future growth. Our initial cost estimates have grown for additional needs of the business, such as the opportunity to integrate the ERP system with additional manufacturing systems. The project includes software, external implementation assistance, and increased internal staffing directly related to this initiative. We anticipate that approximately 40% of the cost will be expensed in the period incurred and 60% will be capitalized and depreciated over its useful life.


The following table illustrates the cumulative project costs:

Restructuring

On February 4, 2019, we announced our intent to move our diesel production from Junction City, OR to Forest City, IA to enable more effective product development and improve our cost structure. These restructuring activities resulted in pretax chargesTable of $1.1 million for the three months ended May 25, 2019 and $1.3 million for the nine months ended May 25, 2019. These expenses are included in our Motorhome segment and include employee-related costs and accelerated depreciation for assets that will no longer be used. Employee-related costs are expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019. We expect additional expenses of approximately $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019 and $1.0 million in Fiscal 2020, primarily related to asset-related charges and facility closure costs. We expect these expenses to be partially offset by the corresponding savings generated by the project.Contents

We currently estimate that upon completion of this restructuring plan in Fiscal 2020, these actions will reduce annual costs by approximately $4.0 million, which is primarily due to lower employee-related costs, lower depreciation expense, and other manufacturing and logistics efficiencies. We expect a portion of these savings will be achieved in Fiscal 2019 and 2020, and the full annual benefit of these actions is expected in Fiscal 2021.

Debt and Capital


As of September 21, 2018,February 29, 2020, we have a debt agreement that consists of a $300.0 million term loan agreement ("Term Loan") and a $165.0$192.5 million asset-based revolving credit facility ("ABL"ABL Credit Facility") (collectively, the "Credit Agreement"Agreements") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, we issued the Convertible Notes, which were used to partially fund the Newmar acquisition. Refer to Note 9, Long-Term Debt, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our Annualthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 201810-Q for additional details. As of May 25, 2019,February 29, 2020, we had $5.6 million inno borrowings against the ABL.


Other Financial Measures


Working capital at May 25, 2019February 29, 2020 and August 25, 201831, 2019 was $186.2$313.5 million and $167.8$212.9 million, respectively. We currently expect cash on hand, funds generated from operations, and the borrowing available under our ABL Credit Agreement toFacility be sufficient to cover both short-term and long-term operating requirements.


Share Repurchases and Dividends


We repurchase our common stock and pay dividends pursuant to programs approved by our Board of Directors. Our long-term capital allocation strategy is to first fund operations and investments in growth, maintain a debt leverage ratio within our targeted zone, maintain reasonable liquidity, and then return excess cash over time to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.


On December 19, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock, depending on market conditions, for an aggregate consideration of up to $60.0 million. On October 18, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program in the amount of $70.0 million. There is no time restriction on eitherthe authorization. In the first nine months ended May 25, 2019,second quarter of Fiscal 2020, we repurchased 0.2 milliondid not repurchase any shares for $5.7 million under this authorization. We continually

evaluate if share repurchases reflect a prudent use of our capital and, subject to compliance with our Credit Agreement,Agreements, we may purchase shares in the future. At May 25, 2019,February 29, 2020, we have $60.3$58.9 million remaining on our board repurchase authorization.


On May 22, 2019,March 17, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share payable on July 3, 2019,April 29, 2020, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on June 19, 2019.April 15, 2020.

Interest rate risk exposures or management of

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on the outstanding variable rate debt. As of February 29, 2020, we had $257.3 million outstanding under our Term Loan, subject to variable interest rates. For our Term Loan in the second quarter of Fiscal 2020, a 1.0% increase in interest rates would have increased our interest expense by an estimated $2.6 million, and a 1.0% decrease in interest rates would have decreased our interest expense by an estimated $2.6 million. For additional information, see Note 9, Long-Term Debt. For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.

While these are our best estimates of the impact of the specified interest rate scenario, actual results could differ from those previously disclosedprojected. The sensitivity analysis presented assumes interest rate changes are instantaneous, parallel shifts in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,the yield curve. In reality, interest rate changes of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2018.this magnitude are rarely instantaneous or parallel.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures", as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures and believes that such controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.


Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


We are implementing an ERP system, which is expected to improve the efficiency of certain financial and related transaction processes. The implementation of an ERP system will likely affect the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting and will require testing for effectiveness.  As we have completed implementation of certain phases of the ERP, internal controls over financial reporting have been tested for effectiveness with respect to the scope of the phase completed.  We concluded, as part of our evaluation described in the above paragraphs, that the implementation of ERP in these circumstances has not materially affected our internal control over financial reporting. The implementation is continuing in a phased approach and will continue to be evaluated for effect on our internal control over financial reporting.


During the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, we completed the acquisition of Newmar, which represents a material change in internal control over financial reporting since management's last assessment. Prior to the acquisition, Newmar was a private company and has not been subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules and regulations of the SEC, or other corporate governance requirements to which public reporting companies may be subject. As part of our ongoing integration activities, we are continuing to incorporate our controls and procedures into the acquired Newmar subsidiaries and to augment our company-wide controls to reflect the risks inherent in an acquisition of this type. Our report on our internal control over financial reporting in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending August 29, 2020 will exclude the acquired Newmar subsidiaries in order for management to have sufficient time to evaluate and implement our internal control over financial reporting.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the thirdsecond quarter of Fiscal 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.


Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 11, 12, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Item 1A. Risk Factors.


There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2018.31, 2019, except for the risk factors updated below:


Results of operations could be adversely affected by public health crises, in locations in which we, our customers or our suppliers operate.

We have manufacturing and other operations in locations subject to public health crises.Our suppliers and customers also have operations in locations exposed to similar dangers.A public health event could disrupt our operations, or our customers’ or suppliers’ operations and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our global suppliers of raw materials expose us to risks associated with public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, which could harm our business and cause operating results to suffer. For example, the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emanating from China at the beginning of 2020 may impact our suppliers’ ability to provide raw materials. Additionally, the outbreak may have an impact on the demand for large discretionary purchases such as recreation vehicles and boats. An extended plant shut-down or supply chain disruption due to COVID-19 may also impact our ability to fulfill orders.

At this point, the extent to which the coronavirus may impact our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations is uncertain.

The terms of our Credit Agreements and other debt instruments could adversely affect our operating flexibility and pose risks of default.

We incurred substantial indebtedness to finance the acquisitions of Grand Design and Newmar. Our Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets, including cash, inventory, accounts receivable, and certain machinery and equipment. The Credit Agreement contains certain requirements, including affirmative and negative financial covenants. If we are unable to comply with these requirements and covenants, we may be restricted in our ability to pay dividends or engage in certain other business transactions, the lender may obtain control of our cash accounts, and we may experience an event of default. If a default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Agreement may elect to declare all of their respective outstanding debt, together with accrued interest and other amounts payable thereunder, to be immediately due and payable. Under such circumstances, we may not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of our obligations. In addition, the limitations imposed on our ability to incur additional debt and to take other corporate actions might significantly impair our ability to obtain other financing.
In addition, the Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions on our ability to undertake certain types of transactions.  Therefore, we may need to seek permission from our lenders in order to engage in certain corporate actions and any additional indebtedness that we may incur will need to comply with the terms of the Credit Agreement and will have its own restrictions on our ability to undertake certain types of transactions. Likewise, the Indenture related to the Convertible Notes issued to help finance the acquisition of Newmar includes certain limited covenants that could impact our ability to operate our business.

In addition, our indebtedness could:
Make us more vulnerable to general adverse economic, regulatory, and industry conditions;
Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes and opportunities in the markets in which we compete;
Place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or could require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to service our debt; and
Restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting other business opportunities.

Various factors, including share dilution, changes to credit terms, and our ability to meet financial performance expectations, could result in a decline in our stock price.

Our stock price may fluctuate based on many factors. To partially finance our acquisition of Grand Design, we issued $124.1 million worth of common stock to the owners of Grand Design and registered these shares for resale after the transaction closed. Similarly, we issued 2.0 million shares of our common stock to the owners of Newmar. In connection with our acquisition of Newmar, we also issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2025. We will settle conversions of the Convertible Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election, based on the applicable conversion rate(s). Any future stock issuance by us or liquidation of stock holding by the former owners of Grand Design or Newmar or holders of the Convertible Notes may cause dilution of earnings per share or put selling pressure on our share price. Changing credit agreements and leverage ratios may also impact stock price. In general, analysts' expectations and our ability to meet those expectations quarterly may cause stock price

fluctuations. If we fail to meet expectations related to future growth, profitability, debt repayment, dividends, share issuance or repurchase, or other market expectations, our stock price may decline significantly.

Failure to effectively manage strategic acquisitions and alliances, joint ventures, or partnerships could have a negative impact on our business.

One of our growth strategies is to drive growth through targeted acquisitions and alliances, stronger customer relations, and new joint ventures and partnerships that contribute profitable growth while supplementing our existing brands and product portfolio. On November 8, 2019, we acquired Newmar (the "Newmar Acquisition"), a leading manufacturer of Class A and Super C motorized RVs. Our ability to grow through acquisitions depends, in part, on the availability of suitable candidates at acceptable prices, terms, and conditions, our ability to compete effectively for acquisition candidates, and the availability of capital and personnel to complete such acquisitions and run the acquired business effectively. Any acquisition, alliance, joint venture, or partnership could impair our business, financial condition, reputation, and operating results. The benefits of an acquisition, including the Newmar Acquisition, or new alliance, joint venture, or partnership may take more time than expected to develop or integrate into our operations, and we cannot guarantee that previous or future acquisitions, alliances, joint ventures, or partnerships will, in fact, produce any benefits. Such acquisitions, alliances, joint ventures, and partnerships may involve a number of risks, including:
Diversion of management’s attention;
Disruption to our existing operations and plans;
Inability to effectively manage our expanded operations;
Difficulties or delays in integrating and assimilating information and financial systems, operations, and products of an acquired business or other business venture or in realizing projected efficiencies, growth prospects, cost savings, and synergies;
Inability to successfully integrate or develop a distribution channel for acquired product lines;
Potential loss of key employees, customers, distributors, or dealers of the acquired businesses or adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers, customers, distributors, and dealers;
Adverse impact on overall profitability, if our expanded operations do not achieve the financial results projected in our valuation model;
Inaccurate assessment of additional post-acquisition or business venture investments, undisclosed, contingent or other liabilities or problems, unanticipated costs associated with an acquisition or other business venture, and an inability to recover or manage such liabilities and costs; and
Incorrect estimates made in the accounting for acquisitions, occurrence of non-recurring charges, and write-off of significant amounts of goodwill or other assets that could adversely affect our operating results.

We may experience difficulties in integrating the operations of Newmar into our business and in realizing the expected benefits of the Newmar Acquisition.

The success of the Newmar Acquisition will depend in part on our ability to realize the anticipated business opportunities from combining the operations of Newmar with our business in an efficient and effective manner. The integration process could take longer than anticipated and could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses, tax costs or inefficiencies, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, information technology systems, procedures, and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, employees or other third parties, or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Newmar Acquisition, and could harm our financial performance. We cannot assure you that the Newmar business will perform as expected, that integration or other one-time costs will not be greater than expected, that we will not incur unforeseen obligations or liabilities, or that the rate of return from the acquisition will justify our investment. We also incurred significant costs in connection with the Newmar Acquisition, the substantial majority of which are non-recurring expenses. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs in the integration of Newmar's business and may not achieve cost synergies and other benefits sufficient to offset the incremental costs of the Newmar Acquisition. If we are unable to successfully or timely integrate the operations of Newmar with our business, we may incur unanticipated liabilities and be unable to realize the revenue growth, synergies, and other anticipated benefits resulting from the Newmar Acquisition, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

The Newmar Acquisition also involves risks associated with integrating acquired assets into existing operations which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, including, among others:
failure to implement our business plan for the combined business;
unanticipated issues in integrating equipment, logistics, information, communications, and other systems;
possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, contracts, procedures, and policies;
impacts of change in control provisions in contracts and agreements;
failure to retain key customers and suppliers;
unanticipated changes in applicable laws and regulations;
failure to recruit and retain key employees to operate the combined business;
increased competition within the industries in which Newmar operates;
difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex combined company;
inherent operating risks in the business;
unanticipated issues, expenses, and liabilities;

additional reporting requirements pursuant to applicable rules and regulations;
additional requirements relating to internal control over financial reporting;
diversion of our senior management’s attention from the management of daily operations to the integration of the Newmar business;
significant unknown and contingent liabilities we incur for which we have limited or no contractual remedies or insurance coverage;
the assets to be acquired failing to perform as well as we anticipate; and
unexpected costs, delays, and challenges arising from integrating the assets acquired in the Newmar Acquisition into our existing operations.

Even if we successfully integrate the assets acquired in the Newmar Acquisition into our operations, it may not be possible to realize the full benefits we anticipate or we may not realize these benefits within the expected time frame. If we fail to realize the benefits we anticipate from the Newmar Acquisition, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Newmar may have liabilities that are not known, probable, or estimable at this time.

Following the acquisition of Newmar, Newmar became our subsidiary and remains subject to all of its liabilities. There could be unasserted claims or assessments that we failed or were unable to discover or identify in the course of performing due diligence investigations of Newmar. In addition, there may be liabilities that are neither probable nor estimable at this time that may become probable or estimable in the future. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Additionally, Newmar is subject to various rules, regulations, laws, and other legal requirements, enforced by governments or other public authorities. Misconduct, fraud, non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or other improper activities by any of Newmar’s directors, officers, employees, or agents could have a significant impact on Newmar’s business and reputation and could subject Newmar to fines and penalties and criminal, civil, and administrative legal sanctions, resulting in reduced revenues and profits.

The Newmar Acquisition significantly increases our goodwill and other intangible assets.

We have a significant amount, and the Newmar acquisition increased the amount of goodwill and other intangible assets on our consolidated financial statements, which are subject to impairment based upon future adverse changes in our business or prospects. The impairment of any goodwill and other intangible assets may have a negative impact on our consolidated results of operations.
