NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(All U.S. Dollar, Euro and British Pound Sterling amounts presented in thousands except share and per share data or except as otherwise specified)

1. Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

THOR Industries, Inc. was founded in 1980 and is the sole owner of operating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or "THOR"“THOR”), that, combined, represent the world's largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles (“RVs”). The Company manufactures a wide variety of RVs in the United States and Europe and sells those vehicles, as well as related parts and accessories, primarily to independent, non-franchise dealers throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Unless the context requires or indicates otherwise, all references to “THOR,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to THOR Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The July 31, 20202021 amounts are derived from the annual audited financial statements of THOR. The interim financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020.2021. Due to seasonality within the recreational vehicle industry, and the currentimpact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our industry, among other factors, annualizing the results of operations for the six months ended January 31, 20212022 would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
2. Acquisitions

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge (referred to as Step 2 in the goodwill impairment test). Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to that excess shall be recognized, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This ASU is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04, effective August 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.AirXcel

On September 1, 2021, the Company acquired Wichita, Kansas-based AirX Intermediate, Inc. (“Airxcel”). Airxcel manufactures a comprehensive line of high-quality component products which are sold primarily to original equipment RV manufacturers as well as consumers via aftermarket sales through dealers and retailers. Airxcel provides industry-leading products in recreational vehicle heating, cooling, ventilation, cooking, window coverings, sidewalls and roofing materials, among others. The initial cash consideration for the Airxcel acquisition was $750,000 in cash, subject to adjustments, and was funded through a combination of cash-on-hand and $625,000 of borrowings from the Company's asset-based credit facility (“ABL”). The total cash consideration to be paid was subject to the final determination of the actual acquired net working capital as of the close of business on September 1, 2021, which determination was finalized in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and the true-up reduced the cash consideration to approximately $745,300. In conjunction with the Airxcel acquisition, the Company expanded its existing ABL facility from $750,000 to $1,000,000, favorably amended certain terms of the agreement and extended the term of the ABL as discussed in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The interest rate provisions remain unchanged.
2. Acquisitions
The Company acquired Airxcel as part of its long-term, strategic growth plan and the acquisition is expected to provide numerous benefits, including strengthening the RV supply chain, diversifying its revenue sources and expanding Airxcel’s supply chain business in North America and Europe. Airxcel operates as an independent operation in the same manner as the Company's other subsidiaries.

The results of Airxcel are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income since the September 1, 2021 acquisition date. Airxcel recorded net sales of $217,540, net of intercompany sales, and net income before income taxes, net of intercompany profit elimination, of $10,793 for the period from the date of acquisition through January 31, 2022. Net income before income taxes included a charge of $6,791 related to the step-up in assigned value of acquired Airxcel inventory that was included in cost of products sold, and also includes $15,101 in amortization expense related to the acquired intangible assets.

During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2022, the Company made immaterial measurement period adjustments to better reflect the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the Airxcel net assets acquired on the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of finalizing the fair value analysis, but this analysis has not been fully completed. The provisional amounts included below, related to deferred income tax liabilities and certain accrued expenses, remain subject to potential adjustment. The Company expects to finalize these values as soon as practical and no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The initial cash consideration for the acquisition of the Tiffin Group was approximately $300,000, subject to adjustment, and was funded through existing cash-on-hand as well as $165,000 in borrowings from the Company’s existing asset-based credit facility. The total cash consideration to be paid is subject to the final determination of the actual acquired net working capital, as defined in the Tiffin Group SPA, as of the close of business on December 18, 2020, which determination is expected to be finalized later in fiscal 2021. The Tiffin Group will operate as an independent operation in the same manner as the Company’s other recreational vehicle subsidiaries, and its motorized operations are aggregated within the Company’s motorized recreational vehicle reportable segment and its towable operations are aggregated within the Company’s towable recreational vehicle reportable segment. The Company purchased the Tiffin Group to complement its existing motorized and towable RV product offerings and North American independent dealer base.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimatedfinal fair values of the Tiffin Group net assets acquired on the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of completing a fair value analysis, but this analysis has not been fully completed. While all amounts remain subject to adjustment, the areas subject to the most significant potential adjustment are intangible assets, deferred income tax liabilities and certain accrued expenses. The Company expects to finalize these values as soon as practical and no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Effective March 23, 2020, the Company and thl reached an agreement (the “2020 Agreement”) whereby the Company obtained additional ownership interest in Togo Group. THOR obtained a 73.5% controlling interest in Togo Group and the power to direct the activities of Togo Group. Since the effective date of the 2020 Agreement, the operating results, balance sheet accounts and cash flow activity of Togo Group have been consolidated within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Deferred compensation plan liabilitiesLevel 1$72,192$61,290
Foreign currency forward contract liabilityLevel 2$92$0
Interest rate swap liabilitiesLevel 2$19,319$26,664

Cash equivalents represent investments in government and other money market funds traded in an active market and are reported as a component of Cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Input LevelJanuary 31, 2022July 31, 2021
Deferred compensation plan mutual fund assetsLevel 1$56,122$51,085
Foreign currency forward contract liabilityLevel 2$943$88
Interest rate swap liabilitiesLevel 2$6,417$13,369

Deferred compensation plan assets accounted for at fair value are investments in securities traded in an active market held for the benefit of certain employees of the Company as part of a deferred compensation plan. Additional plan investments in corporate-owned life insurance are recorded at their cash surrender value, not fair value, and therefore are not included above.

Foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at January 31, 2021 are used to exchange British Pounds Sterling ("GBP") for Euro. The total notional value of these contracts, including designated hedges and other contracts not designated, at January 31, 2021 is 10,000 GBP ($13,731), and these contracts have various maturity dates through March 31, 2021.

The Company entered into interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from floating rate to fixed rate debt. As of January 31, 2021, the outstanding swaps had notional contract values of $581,913, partially hedging the interest rate risk related to the Company's U.S. dollar term loan tranche that matures in February 2026. The Company's other interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments had a notional contract value of $34,431 at January 31, 2021.

The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current available forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using observable market rates. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the applicable observable yield curves.

The Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on October 15, 2029 unless redeemed or repurchased earlier. Net proceeds from the Senior Unsecured Notes, along with cash on hand, were used to repay $500,000 of borrowings outstanding on the Company’s ABL and for certain transaction costs. Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable in semi-annual installments on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning with the first payment on April 15, 2022.

13. Provision for Income Taxes

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2022 was 23.3%, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2022 was 22.6%. These rates were both favorably impacted by certain foreign tax rate differences which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax. The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2021 was 20.0%, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2021 was 20.4%. These rates were both favorably impacted by certain foreign tax rate differences which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax and also by certain foreign return-to-provision adjustments. The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2020 was 22.5%, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2020 was 23.8%. These rates were both favorably impacted by certain foreign rate differences which include certain interest income not subjectadjustments that had a greater impact in relation to corporate income tax. This benefit for the six months ended January 31, 2020 was partially offset by additional tax expense from the vesting of share-based compensation awards.pre-tax income.

Within the next 12 months, the Company anticipates a decrease of approximately $7,900$4,800 in unrecognized tax benefits, and $2,000$1,000 in accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of January 31, 2021,2022, from expected settlements or payments of uncertain tax positions and lapses of the applicable statutes of limitations. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

14. Contingent Liabilities, Commitments and Legal Matters

The Company’s total commercial commitments under standby repurchase obligations on global dealer inventory financing were $2,367,122$3,396,455 and $1,876,922$1,821,012 as of January 31, 20212022 and July 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The commitment term is generally up to 18 months.

The Company accounts for the guarantee under repurchase agreements of dealers’ financing by deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee at inception. This deferred amount is included in the repurchase and guarantee reserve balances of $8,054$9,883 and $7,747$6,023 as of January 31, 20212022 and July 31, 2020,2021, respectively, which is included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled during the three and six months ended January 31, 20212022 and January 31, 20202021 were not material. Based on current market conditions, the Company believes that any future losses under these agreements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company issued a product recall in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 related to certain purchased parts utilized in certain of our North American towable products. Based on developments during the second quarter of fiscal 2022, including our expectations regarding the extent of vendor reimbursement, we have revised our estimate of the cost of the recall, which resulted in a favorable adjustment during the three months ended January 31, 2022 to the amount previously accrued. In addition, we accrued additional expense during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 based on developments related to an ongoing investigation by certain German-based authorities regarding the adequacy of historical disclosures of vehicle weight in advertisements and other Company-provided literature in Germany. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation. During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company recognized $13,000 of net expense as a component of selling, general and administrative costs related to these two matters. For the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company has recognized $35,000 of net expense as a component of selling, general and administrative costs related to these two matters.

The Company is also involved in certain litigation arising out of its operations in the normal course of its business, most of which is based upon state “lemon laws,” warranty claims and vehicle accidents (for which the Company carries insurance above a specified self-insured retention or deductible amount). The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty. There is significant judgment required in assessing both the probability of an adverse outcome and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. Based on current conditions, and in management’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims against the Company will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. Litigation is, however, inherently uncertain and an adverse outcome from such litigation could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period.

Executive Overview

We were founded in 1980 and have grown to become the largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles ("RVs"(“RVs”) in the world. We are also the largest manufacturer of RVs in North America, and one of the largest manufacturers of RVs in Europe. In North America, according to Statistical Surveys, Inc. (“Stat Surveys”), for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020,2021, THOR’s combined U.S. and Canadian market share was approximately 42.6%41.7% for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined and approximately 38.6%47.7% for motorhomes. In Europe, according to the European Caravan Federation and based on unit registrations for Europe's original equipment manufacturer ("OEM"(“OEM”) reporting countries, our European market share for the calendar year ended December 31, 20202021 was approximately 25.7%24.6% for motorcaravans and campervans combined and approximately 20.0%17.8% for caravans.

Our business model includes decentralized operating units, and our RV products are primarily sold to independent, non-franchise dealers who, in turn, retail those products. The Company also sells component parts to both RV and other original equipment manufacturers, including aluminum extruded components, and sells aftermarket component parts through dealers and retailers. Our growth has been achieved both organically and through acquisition, and our strategy is designed to increase our profitability by driving innovation, servicing our customers, manufacturing quality products, improving the efficiencies of our facilities and making strategic growth acquisitions.

The COVID-19 pandemic, including its wide-reaching impact on nearly all facets of our operations and the RV industry, as well as related governmental actions and labor shortages throughout the supply chain and within THOR, have impacted and continue to impact our business and our financial results and financial position. In particular, the pandemic has, directly or indirectly, contributed to chassis and certain other supply-side constraints, as described below. Additional impacts could be incurred in future periods, including negative impacts to our results of operations, liquidity and financial position, as a direct or indirect result of the pandemic. Should the rate of COVID-19 infections escalate, or the virus mutate into new, uncontrolled strains, those developments and the resulting impacts could exacerbate risks to our business, financial results and financial position. Refer also to the COVID-19 related risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020.

Dealer inventory levels have decreased materially based on strong retail demand for RVs given the perceived safety of RV travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, a strong desire to socially distance and the reduction in commercial air travel and cruises. As of January 31, 2021, North American dealer inventory levels were well below optimal stocking levels, which has increased dealer orders and our backlog.2021.

We believe that North American retail consumer demand has grown in recent periods due to an increasing interest in the RV lifestyle and the ability to connect with nature and has further accelerated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many consumers recognize the perceived benefits offered by the RV lifestyle, which provides people with a personal space to maintain social distance in a safe manner, the ability to connect with loved ones and the potential to get away for short, frequent breaks or longer adventures.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our business in future periods remains uncertain and unpredictable. In addition, the impact of current macroeconomic factors on our business – including inflation, supply chain constraints and geopolitical events – is uncertain. Nonetheless, our outlook for future growth in North American retail sales in both the short term and the long term remains optimistic as there are many factors driving the currentproduct demand that we believe will continue even after the pandemic officially ends. In the near-term, weWe believe consumers are likely to continue altering their future vacation and travel plans, opting for fewer vacations via air travel, cruise ships and hotels, and preferring vacations that RVs are uniquely positioned to provide, where they can continue practicing social distancing while also allowing them the ability to explore or unwind, often close to home. Minimal-contact vacation options like road trips and camping may prove ideal for people who want to limit pandemic-related risks involved with close personal interactions. We will, however, need to manage through temporary supply chain issues noted below, which may limit the level to which we can increase output in the near term.

Longer-term, a

A positive outlook for the North American RV segment is also supported by surveys conducted by THOR, RVIA and others, which show that Americans love the freedom of the outdoors and the enrichment that comes with living an active lifestyle. RVs allow people to be in control of their travel experiences, going where they want, when they want and with the people they want. The RV units we design, produce and sell allow people to spend time outdoors pursuing their favorite activities, creating cherished moments and deeply connecting with family and friends. Based on the increasing value consumers place on these factors, we expect to see long-term growth in the North American RV industry. Longer term, we also believeHistorically, retail sales will behave been dependent upon various economic conditions faced by consumers, such as the rate of unemployment, the rate of inflation, the level of consumer confidence, the disposable income of consumers, changes in interest rates, credit availability, the health of the housing market, changes in tax rates and fuel availability and prices. In addition, we believe that the availability of camping and RV parking facilities will be an important factor in the future growth of the industry and view both the significant recent investments and the future committed investments by campground owners, states and the federal government in camping facilities and accessibility to state and federal parks and forests to be positive long-term factors.

Economic and industry-wide factors that have historically affected, and we believe will continue to affect, our RV businessoperating results include the costs of commodities, the availability of critical supply components, the impact of actual or threatened tariffs on commodity costs and labor costs incurred in the production of our products. Material and labor costs are the primary factors determining our cost of products sold, and any future increases in raw material or labor costs wouldwill impact our profit margins negatively if we are unable to offset those cost increases through a combination of product decontenting, material sourcing strategies, efficiency improvements or raising the selling prices for our products by corresponding amounts. Historically, we have generally been able to offset net cost increases over time.

At this time, we are not experiencing any significant or unusual supply constraints fromWe continue to be alerted by a number of our North American chassis suppliers. As indicated above,suppliers that supply constraints of key components that they require for the extent to which the pandemic may impactmanufacturing of chassis, particularly semiconductor chips, will limit their production of chassis, and hence, our operations in the future is uncertainproduction and unpredictable.sales of motorized RVs will also be impacted. The North American recreational vehicleRV industry has, from time to time in the past and continuing into the quarter ended January 31, 2022, experienced shortages of chassis for these and various other reasons, including component shortages, production delays and intermittent work stoppages at the chassis manufacturers. If these shortages were to recurcontinue for a prolonged period for any reason, it would have a negative impact on our sales and earnings.

The North American RV industry is also facing continuing cost increases, supply shortages and delivery delays of other, non-chassis, raw material components. While our supply chain has however, recently experienced supplybeen resilient enough to support us during our recent growth in sales and production, these shortages and constraints have negatively impacted our ability to further ramp up production rates and sales during the current fiscal year and has caused an increase in work in process inventory as of January 31, 2022. We believe these shortages and delays will continue to result in production delays or adjusted production rates, which will limit our ability to ramp up production to meet existing demand and could have a negative impact on our results of operations. If shortages of various RVchassis or other component parts from various manufacturers and suppliers as a result of current market conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the recent harsh weather conditions in the southern United States have impacted the availability of certain petroleum-based components. If such shortages were to become more significant or longer term in nature, or if industry demand were to increase faster than relevant suppliers can respond, or if other factors were to impact theirour suppliers’ ability to continue tofully supply our needs for key components, our costs of such components and our production output could be adversely affected. Where possible, we continue to work closely with our suppliers on various supply chain strategies to minimize the impact of these supply chain constraints, and we continue to identify alternative suppliers. The geographic centrality of the North American RV industry in northern Indiana, where the majority of our facilities and many of our suppliers are located, could exacerbate supply chain and other COVID-19 related risks, should northern Indiana, or any of the other areas in which we, our suppliers or our customers operate, become disproportionately impacted by the pandemic or other factors.

European RV Industry Outlook — Europe

The Company monitors retail trends in the European RV market as reported by the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”), whose industry data is reported to the public quarterly and typically issued on a one-to-two-month lag. Additionally, on a monthly basis, the Company receives OEM-specific reports from most of the individual member countries that make up the ECF. As these reports are coming directly from the ECF member countries, timing and content vary, but typically the reports are issued on a one-to-two-month lag as well. While most countries provide OEM-specific information, the United Kingdom, which made up 19.8%23.1% and 7.6%7.8% of the European caravan and motorcaravan (including campervans) European market for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, does not provide OEM-specific information.

Within Europe, over 90% of our sales are made to dealers within 1310 different European countries. The market conditions, as well as the operating status of our independent dealers within each country, vary based on the various local economic conditions, the current impact of COVID-19 and the local responses and restrictions in place to manage the pandemic. It is inherently difficult to generalize about the operating conditions within the entire European region. However, independent RV dealer inventory levels of our European products are generally below prior-yearhistoric levels in the various countries we serve. Within Germany, which accounts for approximately 60% of our European product sales, independent dealer inventory levels are currently below historical norms, with dealers submittingwhich has contributed to the higher levels of orders than typical for this time of the season due to continued high end-consumer demand, as discussed further below.normal European backlogs.

European Outlook

Our European operations offer a full lineup of leisure vehicles including caravans, urban campers, campervans and small-to-large motorcaravans. Our product offering isofferings are not limited to vehicles only but also includesinclude accessories and services, including vehicle rentals. In addition, we address our European endretail customers through a sophisticated brand management approach based on consumer segmentation according to target group, core values and emotions. With the help of data-based and digital marketing, we intend to expandcontinue expanding our retail customer reach, in particular, to new and younger consumer segments.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business in future periods remains uncertain and unpredictable. In addition, the impact of current macroeconomic factors on our business – including inflation, supply chain constraints, and geopolitical events – is uncertain. Our outlook for future growth in European RV retail sales also depends upon the various economic and regulatory conditions in the respective countries in which we sell our products, and also depends on our ability to manage through temporary supply chain issues in the near term that couldhave, and will continue to, limit the level to which we can increase output.output in the near term. End-customer demand for RVs depends strongly on consumer confidence. Factors such as the rate of unemployment, the rate of inflation, private consumption and investments, growth in disposable income of consumers, changes in interest rates, the health of the housing market, changes in tax rates and regulatory restrictions, and, most recently, travel safety considerations all influence retail sales. We believe ourOur long-term outlook for future growth in European RV retail sales remains positive as more and more people discover RVs as a way to support their lifestyle in search of independence and individuality, as well as using the RV as a multi-purpose vehicle to escape urban life and explore outdoor activities and nature.

Historically,Prior to the pandemic, we and our independent European dealers have marketed our European recreational vehicles through numerous RV fairs at the country and regional levels which occuroccurred throughout the calendar year. These fairs have historically been well-attended events that allowallowed retail consumers the ability to see the newest products, features and designs and to talk with product experts in addition to being able to purchase or order an RV. TheSince the start of the pandemic, the protection of the health of our employees, customers and dealer-partners ishas been our top priority. As a result, we have cancelled our participation in allmost European trade fairs and major events through our July 31,in calendar 2021 fiscal year end.

and currently plan on limited participation in calendar 2022. In place of the trade fairs, we have and will continue to strengthen and expand our digital activities in order to reach high potential target groups, generate leads and steer customers directly to dealerships. With over 1,000 active dealer-partners in Germany and throughout Europe, we believe our European brands have one of the strongest and most professionally structured dealer and service networks.networks in Europe.

Economic or industry-wide factors affecting our European RV businessoperating results include the availability and costs of commodities and component parts and the labor used in the manufacture of our products. Material and labor costs are the primary factors determining our cost of products sold and any future increases in these costs wouldwill impact our profit margins negatively if we wereare unable to offset those cost increases through a combination of product decontenting, material sourcing strategies, efficiency improvements or raising the selling prices for our products by corresponding amounts.

In Europe, weWe continue to experiencebe alerted by a number of our European chassis suppliers that supply constraints of key components that they require for the manufacturing of chassis, including, but not limited to, semiconductor chips, will continue to limit their production of RV chassis. Exacerbating this situation is the fact that certain component parts from our non-chassis raw material vendors. Additionally, primarily due to pandemic-related challenges,of the chassis we have also experiencedhistorically utilized in the production of certain of our higher volume products require a higher number of semiconductors compared to other chassis. For the six months ended January 31, 2022, we continued to experience delays in the receipt of, and a reduction in the volume of, chassis from our European chassis suppliers. In the short term, wesuppliers, limiting our ability to further increase production. We expect these ongoing challenges to persist and, in particular, anticipate continued delays in receipt of chassis in Europe. Europe as well as a reduction in the number of chassis to be received in fiscal 2022 and continuing into fiscal 2023 compared to our planned production rates. As a result, these limitations in the availability of chassis will inhibit our ability to consistently maintain our planned production levels and will limit our ability to ramp up production of certain products despite dealer demand for those products.

In Europe, we also continue to experience cost increases, supply shortages and delivery delays of other, non-chassis, raw material components which negatively impacted our ability to further ramp up production and sales in the current fiscal year and has caused an increase in our work in process inventory as of January 31, 2022. We believe these shortages and delays will continue to result in production delays or adjusted production rates in the near term, which will limit our ability to ramp up production to meet existing demand and could have a negative impact on our operating results.

Where possible, to minimize the impact of these supply chain constraints, we have identified a second-source supplier base for mostcertain component parts. However, due toparts, however, the overall scope of supply chain constraints within Europe and the engineering requirements it is generally not possible to quickly changerequired with an alternate component part, particularly the chassis our various units are built upon. As a result, limitations inupon, has limited the availabilityimpact of these alternative suppliers on reducing our near-term supply constraints.

If shortages of chassis will limitor other component parts were to become more significant or longer term in nature, or if other factors were to impact our suppliers’ ability to ramp upsupply our needs for key components, our costs of such components and our production of certain products despite dealer demand for those products. Ifoutput would be adversely affected. In addition, if the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our vendors increases or is prolonged, the limited availability of key components, including chassis, will have a further negative impact on our production output during fiscal 2021.2022. Uncertainties related to changing emission standards, such as the Euro 6d standard which became effective as of January 2020 for new models and became effective for certain vehicles starting January 2021 and certain other vehicles starting January 2022, may also impact the availability of chassis used in our production of certain European motorized RVs and could also impact consumer buying patterns.

In addition to material supply constraints, labor shortages may also impact our European operations, especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.operations. Currently, a number of the employees of our production facilities in Europe reside in one country while working in another, and therefore travel restrictions imposed by certain countries within Europe may negatively impact the availability of our labor force and therefore our production output.

Capital expenditures of $48,097$117,804 for the six months ended January 31, 20212022 were made primarily for production building additions and improvements and replacing machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business.

We strive to maintain adequate cash balances to ensure we have sufficient resources to respond to opportunities and changing business conditions. We believe our on-hand cash and cash equivalents and funds generated from operations, along with funds available under the revolving asset-based credit facility, will be sufficient to fund expected operational requirements for the foreseeable future.

Our priorities for the use of current and future available cash generated from operations remain consistent with our history, and include reducing our indebtedness, maintaining and, over time, growing our dividend payments and funding our growth, both organically and opportunistically through acquisitions. We may also consider strategic and opportunistic repurchases of shares of THOR stock under the share repurchase program as discussed in Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and special dividends as determined by the Company’s Board of Directorsbased upon market and business conditions and excess cash availability, subject to potential customary limits and restrictions pursuant to our credit facilities, and applicable legal limitations.limitations and determination by our Board of Directors (“Board”).

The revolving asset-based credit facility isand $40,000 on our U.S. term loan. The asset-based credit facility and U.S. term loan are discussed in more detail in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s Board currently intends to continue regular quarterly cash dividend payments in the future. As is customary under credit facilities, certain actions, including our ability to pay dividends, are subject to the satisfaction of certain payment conditions prior to payment. The conditions for the payment of dividends under the existing debt facilities include a minimum level of adjusted excess cash availability and a fixed charge coverage ratio test, both as defined in the credit agreements. The declaration of future dividends and the establishment of the per share amounts, record dates and payment dates for any such future dividends are subject to the determination of the Board, and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows and other factors, in addition to compliance with any then-existing financing facilities.

Future purchases of the Company’s common stock or special cash dividends may occur based upon market and business conditions and excess cash availability, subject to potential customary limits and restrictions pursuant to the credit facilities, applicable legal limitations and determination by the Board.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company enters into various hedging transactions to mitigate certain of these risks in accordance with guidelines established by the Company'sCompany’s management. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK – The Company'sCompany’s principal currency exposures mainly relate to the Euro and British Pound Sterling. The Company periodically uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage certain foreign exchange rate exposure related to anticipated sales transactions in Pounds Sterling with financial instruments whose maturity date, along with the realized gain or loss, occurs on or near the execution of the anticipated transaction.

The Company also holds $768,237$649,780 of debt denominated in Euros at January 31, 2021.2022. A hypothetical 10% change in the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate would change our January 31, 20212022 debt balance by approximately $76,824.$64,978.

INTEREST RATE RISK – The Company uses pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company’s long-term debt from floating to fixed-rate debt. As of January 31, 2021,2022, the Company has $581,913$379,275 as notional amounts hedged in relation to the floating-to-fixed interest rate swap. The notional amounts hedged will decrease on a quarterly basis to zero by August 1, 2023.

Based on our interest rate exposure at January 31, 2021,2022, assumed floating-rate debt levels throughout the next 12 months and the effects of our existing derivative instruments, a one-percentage-point increase in interest rates (approximately 10.0%19.1% of our weighted-average interest rate at January 31, 2021)2022) would result in an estimated $7,553$10,778 pre-tax reduction in net earnings over a one-year period.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s 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 for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company has carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at attaining the level of reasonable assurance noted above.

During the quarter ended January 31, 2021,2022, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
(Unless otherwise indicated, amounts in thousands except share and per share data.)

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in certain litigation arising out of its operations in the normal course of its business, most of which is based upon state “lemon laws”,laws,” warranty claims and vehicle accidents (for which the Company carries insurance above a specified self-insured retention or deductible amount). The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty. There is significant judgment required in assessing both the probability of an adverse outcome and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. In management’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims against the Company will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. Litigation is, however, inherently uncertain and an adverse outcome from such litigation could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Although risks specific to the COVID-19 pandemic are ongoing, including supply chain disruptions, and certain geopolitical events, including military conflicts, have recently surfaced, at this point there have been no material changes in those risks or any others from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020.
