Nature of Operations

THOR Industries, Inc. was founded in 1980 and through itsis the sole owner of operating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “THOR”), manufactures a wide rangethat, combined, represent the world's largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) at various manufacturing facilities located. 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 in Indiana, with additional facilities in Ohio, Oregon, Idaho and Michigan. These products are sold to independent,non-franchise dealers primarily throughout the United States, Canada and Canada.Europe. Unless the context requires or indicates otherwise, all references to “Thor”,“THOR,” the “Company”, “we”,“Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to ThorTHOR Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.


The July 31, 20172023 amounts are derived from the annual audited financial statements.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 Form10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017.2023. Due to seasonality within the recreational vehicle industry, the impact of supply chain disruptions primarily in Europe, inflation and shifting consumer demand on our industry, among other factors, annualizing the results of operations for the six months ended January 31, 20182024 would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for athe full fiscal year, and recreational vehicle sales are historically lowest during the second fiscal quarter ending January 31.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Not Yet Adopted


In January 2017,November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting StandardsStandard Update (“ASU”)No. 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”) “Segment Reporting (Topic 350)280): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,”Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, 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 allocatedrequires additional disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the reporting unit. ThisChief Operating Decision Maker. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests forreporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early2023, or the annual report for fiscal 2025 for the Company, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, or interim periods starting in fiscal 2026 for the Company. Early adoption permittedis permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, requiring enhancements and further transparency to certain income tax disclosures. Under this ASU, entities must disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. The new standard also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. ASU 2023-09 is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2017.December 15, 2024. This ASU is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 20212026 beginning on August 1, 2020.2025. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements, which will depend on the outcomes of future goodwill impairment tests.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases. ASUNo. 2016-02 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The principal difference from current guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2020 beginning on August 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” ASUNo. 2015-11 requires inventory measured using any method other thanlast-in,first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Under this ASU, subsequent measurement of inventory using the LIFO and retail inventory method is unchanged. ASUNo. 2015-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted ASUNo. 2015-11 on August 1, 2017 and there was no material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

5


In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This ASU will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. Under this ASU, entities are required to identify the contract with a customer, identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract and recognize the appropriate amount of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies each performance obligation. This ASU will also require additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments made in applying the revenue guidance, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASUNo. 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2019 beginning on August 1, 2018. In applying this ASU, entities have the option of using either a full retrospective transition or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company plans to use the modified retrospective approach in applying this ASU.

The Company is in the process of analyzing and quantifying the adoption impact of this ASU as well as evaluating the impact to internal controls, business processes and financial statement disclosures under this ASU. While the Company is still completing its assessment of all the potential impacts of this ASU, the Company does not anticipate adoption will have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements. The ASU will, however, require more extensive revenue-related disclosures. The Company will continue evaluation of the adoption of this ASU through the date of adoption, including assessing the impact of required financial statement disclosures.

2.Acquisition

Jayco, Corp.

On June 30, 2016, the Company closed on a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Jayco SPA”) for the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of towable and motorized recreational vehicle manufacturer Jayco, Corp.

This acquisition was funded from the Company’s cash on hand and $360,000 from an asset-based revolving credit facility as more fully described in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The final purchase price adjustment of $5,039 was based on the final determination of net assets as of the June 30, 2016 closing date and was paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Jayco operates as an independent operation in the same manner as the Company’s other recreational vehicle subsidiaries, and its towables operations are aggregated within the Company’s towable recreational vehicle reportable segment and its motorized operations are aggregated within the Company’s motorized recreational vehicle reportable segment. The Company purchased Jayco to complement its existing towable and motorized RV product offerings and dealer base.

The following table summarizes the final fair values assigned to the Jayco net assets acquired, which were based on internal and independent external valuations:

8.    Equity Investments

As discussed in Note 8 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K, effective December 30, 2022, the Company formed a joint venture with TechNexus Holdings LLC (“TechNexus”), whereby the Company transferred TH2Connect, LLC d/b/a Roadpass Digital and its associated legal entities to TN-RP Holdings, LLC (“TN-RP”), following which the Company and TechNexus own 100% of the Class A-RP units and Class C-RP units, respectively, issued by TN-RP.

TN-RP is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), in which both the Company and TechNexus each have a variable interest. The Company’s equity interest, which entitles the Company to a share of future distributions from TN-RP, represents a variable interest. The Company has significant influence due to its Class A-RP unit ownership interest, non-majority seats on the TN-RP advisory board and certain protective rights, and therefore the Company’s investment in TN-RP is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and reported as a component of Equity investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Similarly, the Company holds an additional investment that is also a VIE over which the Company has significant influence. This is also reported as a component of Equity investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company had the following aggregate investment and maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs:

January 31, 2024July 31, 2023
Carrying amount of investments$128,572 $126,909 
Maximum exposure to loss$145,622 $161,459 

The Company’s share of gains and losses accounted for under the equity method of accounting are included in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The losses recognized in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 were $3,502 and $9,437, respectively, and the amounts recognized in the three and six months ended January 31, 2023 were not material.

11.    Product Warranties

The Company generally provides retail customers of its products with aone-year ortwo-year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, with longer warranties on certain structural components. The Company records a liability based on its best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors used in estimating the warranty liability include a history of units sold, existing dealer inventory, average cost incurred and a profile of the distribution of warranty expenditures over the warranty period. Management believes that the recorded warranty liabilities are adequate, however, actual claims incurred could differ from estimates, requiring adjustments to the liabilities. Warranty liabilities are reviewed and adjusted as necessary on at least a quarterly basis.

As discussed in Note 11 in the Notes13 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in ourthe Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K, the Company is a party to a term loan (“term loan”) agreement, which consists of a U.S. dollar-denominated term loan tranche and a Euro-denominated term loan tranche, and a $1,000,000 revolving asset-based credit facility (“ABL”).

On November 15, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to both its term loan and ABL agreements to extend maturities and lower the applicable margins used to determine the interest rate on the U.S. dollar-denominated term loan tranche. Pursuant to the term loan amendments, the applicable margin used to determine the interest rate on U.S. dollar-denominated loans was reduced by 0.25% so that the applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate ("ABR")-based loans is 1.75% and 2.75% for Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based loans. The SOFR credit spread adjustment applicable to U.S. dollar-denominated SOFR-based loans was eliminated. The applicable margin for Euro-denominated EURIBOR-based loans was unchanged. The maturity date for the term loan was extended from February 1, 2026 to November 15, 2030. Covenants and other material provisions of the term loan agreement remain materially unchanged. Following the amendments, the principal amounts outstanding under the term loan agreement were $450,000 on the U.S. dollar-denominated term loan tranche and 330,000 Euro on the Euro-denominated term loan tranche. Under the provisions of the amended term loan, both the U.S. and Euro tranches require annual principal payments of 1.0% of the new term loan balance, payable quarterly in 0.25% installments starting on May 1, 2024. Pursuant to the ABL amendment, the maturity date for loans under the ABL agreement was extended from September 1, 2026 to November 15, 2028. Maximum availability under the ABL remains at $1,000,000 and there were no borrowings outstanding as of the November 15, 2023 amendment date. The applicable margin, covenants and other material provisions of the ABL remain materially unchanged.

The November 15, 2023 debt amendments noted above were evaluated on a creditor-by-creditor basis pursuant to the requirements in ASC 470-50 related to syndicated loan arrangements. Extinguishment accounting was applied to the creditors that were deemed to have a substantial difference in terms based on an analysis of the present values of cash flows before and after the amendments.

13.    Provision for Income Taxes

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 20182024 was 43.5% compared with 34.1% for the three months ended January 31, 2017. The primary reason for the increase in the effective income tax rate was the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) that was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Under the Tax Act, the federal corporate income tax rate has been reduced from 35.0% to 21.0% starting January 1, 2018, which results in the use of an estimated blended federal corporate income tax rate of 26.9% for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year. In addition, the Company was also required to revalue its net deferred tax assets to reflect the impact of the lower tax rates. This revaluation caused anon-recurring,non-cash reduction of the Company’s net deferred tax assets, and a corresponding charge to income tax expense, of approximately $34,000. This charge, with respect to the reduced federal income tax rate22.7%, and the potential impact of limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, among other items, represents a provisional amount in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) based on currently available information and is subject to further refinement during the measurement period as defined by SAB 118. The Company also recorded a tax benefit of $12,535 in the three months ended January 31, 2018 from applying the lower federal income tax rate for fiscal 2018 to the results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

The overall effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 20182024 was 36.6% compared with 33.0%24.0%. 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, 2023 was 21.1%, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017. Income2023 was 23.0%. These rates were both favorably impacted by certain foreign rate differences and the mix of earnings between foreign and domestic operations which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax. The tax expenserate for the six months ended January 31, 2018 included approximately $34,000 of additional income tax expense resultingthis six-month period includes an unfavorable impact from the revaluationvesting of share-based compensation awards.

Within the Company’s net deferred tax assetsnext 12 months, the Company does not anticipate any material changes in connection with the Tax Act. Income tax expense for thesix-month period ended January 31, 2018 also reflects the use of the estimated blended federal corporate income tax rate of 26.9% as a result of the Tax Act.

The Company anticipates a decrease of approximately $2,730 in unrecognized tax benefits, and $370 in accrued interest related toits unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of January 31, 2018, within the next 12 months 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 as discussed in Note 13 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our fiscal 2017 Form10-K,were $3,076,327$3,949,915 and $2,200,544$3,893,048 as of January 31, 20182024 and July 31, 2017,2023, respectively. The commitment term is generally up to eighteen18 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. The estimated fair value takes into account an estimate of the losses that may be incurred upon resale of any repurchases. This estimate is based on recent historical experience supplemented by the Company’s assessment of current economic and other conditions affecting its dealers. This deferred amount is included in the repurchase and guarantee reserve balances of $8,550$15,621 and $6,345$12,114 as of January 31, 20182024 and July 31, 2017,2023, respectively, which areis included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled during the three-month periodsthree and six months ended January 31, 20182024 totaled $2,892 and $6,060, respectively, and losses during the three and six months ended January 31, 20172023 were not significant.material. Based on current market conditions, the Company believes that any future losses under these agreements will not have a significantmaterial effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


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”,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, in management’s opinionmanagement does not believe 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.

A product recall was issued in late fiscal 2021 related to certain purchased parts utilized in certain of our products, and a reserve to cover anticipated costs was established at that time. Starting in fiscal 2022, the reserve has been adjusted quarterly based on developments involving the recall, including our expectations regarding the extent of vendor reimbursements and the estimated total cost of the recall. The Company has been, and will continue to be, reimbursed for a portion of the costs it will incur related to this recall. In addition, the Company accrued expenses during 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. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, the Company recognized income of $4,200 and $14,200, respectively, as a component of selling, general and administrative expense from adjustments related to these matters.

Executive Overview


We were founded in 1980 and have grown to bebecome the largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) in the world based on units sold and revenue. We are also the largest manufacturer of RVs in North America. AccordingAmerica, 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, 2017, Thor’s2023, THOR’s combined U.S. and Canadian market share was approximately 50.4%41.8% for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined and approximately 39.1%48.7% for motorhomes. In Europe, according to the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”) and based on unit registrations for Europe's original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) reporting countries, our European market share for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023 was approximately 20.9% for motorcaravans and campervans combined and approximately 18.2% 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 bythrough 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 acquisitions.

We generally do not finance independent dealers directly, but we do provide repurchase agreements to the independent dealers’ floor plan lenders.

We generally have financed our growth acquisitions.

Recent Events

TaxReform

On December 22, 2017,through a combination of internally generated cash flows from operations and, when needed, outside credit facilities. Ongoing supply chain challenges, particularly chassis issues within our European operations, have and could continue to impact our business and our consolidated financial results and financial position. In addition, the Tax Cutsimpact of ongoing inflation on consumer confidence, which historically has been highly correlated with RV retail sales, and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), was signed into law. The Tax Act includes numerous changes to tax laws impacting business, the most significant being a permanent reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%. The rate reduction took effect on January 1, 2018. As the Company’s 2018 fiscal year ends on July 31, 2018, the Company’s estimated federal corporate income tax rate for fiscal year 2018 will be prorated to a blended 26.9% rate, basedimpact of inflation on the applicable taxavailability of discretionary funds of our end consumers, combined with significantly higher interest rates before and after the Tax Actcompared to recent years impacting both our independent dealers and the numberend consumer, had a negative impact on demand for our products at both the wholesale and retail levels during the first half of daysfiscal 2024 and are expected to continue to impact the remainder of our fiscal year. These risks to our business are more fully described in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023.


Recent Events

Refinancing of Credit Agreements

On November 15, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to whichboth its term loan and ABL agreements to extend maturities and lower the two different rates applied.applicable margins used to determine the interest rate on the U.S. dollar-denominated loan tranche. The maturity date for the term loan was extended from February 1, 2026 to November 15, 2030. Covenants and other material provisions of the term loan agreement remain materially unchanged. Following the amendments, the principal amounts outstanding under the term loan agreement were $450,000 on the U.S. dollar-denominated term loan tranche and 330,000 Euro on the Euro-denominated term loan tranche. Under the provisions of the amended term loan, both the U.S. and Euro tranches require annual principal payments of 1.0% of the new term loan balance, payable quarterly in 0.25% installments starting on May 1, 2024. Pursuant to the ABL amendment, the maturity date for loans under the ABL agreement was extended from September 1, 2026 to November 15, 2028. Maximum availability under the ABL remains at $1,000,000 and the applicable margin, covenants and other material provisions of the ABL remain materially unchanged. As a result of other Tax Act changes, the Company’s income tax rate for fiscal year 2019 will be negatively impacted by the repeal of the domestic production activities (“Code Section 199”) deductionthese amendments and limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation.

14


As a result of the reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate,associated maturity date extensions, the Company was required to perform a revaluation of its net deferred tax assets. Based on currently available information, the Company has performed a preliminary analysis of the impact of the Tax Act as of the enactment date and has recorded anon-recurring,non-cash reduction of its net deferred tax assets due to the reduced federal income tax rate, and a corresponding charge to income taxrecognized total expense of approximately $34,000$14,741 in the three months ended January 31, 2018. The Company’s revaluation of its net deferred tax assets, with respect to the reduced federal income tax rate and the potential impact of limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, among other items, are subject to further refinement, review and clarification under the new law as additional information becomes available. In addition to the benefit of a lower income tax rate in the three months ended January 31, 2018, an income tax benefit of $12,535 was also recorded in the three months ended January 31, 2018 to reflect the benefit of applying the lower federal tax rate to the results of operations for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2018.

The reduction in the statutory US federal income tax rate is expected to positively impact the Company’s fiscal 2018 and future USafter-tax earnings. The Company currently estimates an overall effective income tax rate between 27.0% and 29.0% for the remainder of fiscal year 2018, before consideration of any discrete tax items, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 32.7% for fiscal 2017. For fiscal 2019, after considering the lower federal income tax rate of 21.0%, an estimated blended state income tax rate, the elimination of the Code Section 199 deduction and the limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, the Company currently estimates an overall effective income tax rate between 23.0% and 25.0%, before consideration of any discrete tax items.

While the Tax Act is expected to generate additional cash flow in the future, our main priorities for the use of current and future available cash generated from operations will continue to focus on funding our growth, both organically and through acquisitions, maintaining and growing our regular dividends over time, and reducing indebtedness. Strategic share repurchases or special dividends, as determined by the Company’s Board, will also continue to be considered. As a component of funding our growth, we anticipate making additional investments in our workforce through a variety of initiatives, including enhanced employee training and development programs and other initiatives that will be introduced in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 and targeted to the varying needs of our individual operating entities.

Joint Venture

On February 15, 2018, the Company announced the formation of a joint venture with Tourism Holdings Limited (“thl”) called TH2. The Company andthl each have a 50% ownership position in TH2 and equal representation on the board of directors of TH2. The Company contributed cash totaling approximately $47,000 to TH2 in early March 2018 whilethl contributed various assets with a fair value of approximately $47,000. The Company’s investment in TH2 was funded entirely from cash on hand. In accordance with the operating agreement, TH2’s future capital needs, which are not expected to be material to the Company, will be funded proportionally bythl and the Company. The Company’s investment in TH2 will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

TH2 was formed to own, improve and sell innovative and comprehensive digital platforms throughout the world. TH2 will offer a variety of products focused on enhancing the enjoyment, safety, connectivity and convenience of RV ownership and use.

Industry Outlook

— North America


The Company monitors industry conditions in the North American RV market through the useusing a number of resources including its own performance tracking and modeling. The Company also considers monthly wholesale shipment data as reported by the Recreation VehicleRV Industry Association (“RVIA”), which is typically issued on aone-month lag and represents manufacturers’ North American RV production and delivery to dealers. In addition, we also monitor monthly North American retail sales trends as reported by Stat Surveys, whose data is typically issued on amonth-and-a-half lag. The Company believes that monthly RV retail sales data is important as consumer purchases impact future dealer orders and ultimately our production.

In correlation with current retail demand,production and net sales.

Thor’sgenerally at, or slightly higher than, the levels that dealers are comfortable stocking given the current retail sales levels and associated carrying costs. We believe dealers will continue to closely evaluate the unit stocking levels that they will elect to carry in future periods, which may be less than historical unit stocking levels, due to a combination of factors such as retail activity, RV wholesale prices as well as interest rates and other carrying costs.

We believe that North American retail consumer interest remains high due to an ongoing interest in the RV lifestyle. While we anticipate that near-term demand will be influenced by many factors, including consumer confidence and the level of consumer spending on discretionary products, we believe future retail demand over the longer term will exceed historical, pre-pandemic levels as consumers continue to value the perceived benefits offered by the RV lifestyle, which provides people with the ability to connect with loved ones and nature as well as the potential to get away for short, frequent breaks or longer adventures.

North American Outlook

Historically, RV industry sales is dependent upon varioushave been impacted by a number of economic conditions faced by RV dealers, and ultimately retail consumers, such as the rate of unemployment, the rate of inflation, the level of consumer confidence, the growth in disposable income of consumers, changes in interest rates, credit availability, the health of the housing market, and changes in tax rates and fuel availability and prices. With continued stability or improvementWe believe these factors will continue to affect retail sales in consumer confidence, availability of retail and wholesale credit, low2024. In addition, due to inflationary pressures, higher interest rates and the absence of negative economicother factors, we wouldbelieve that RV dealers will be continuously reevaluating their desired stocking levels, which may result in lower than historical dealer inventory stocking levels on a unit basis. It is difficult to predict the extent to which any or all of these factors will impact the RV industry or our business in a particular future period, however, we currently believe the remainder of our fiscal 2024 will continue to be negatively impacted by these factors.




27


Despite the near-term challenges, we remain optimistic about future growth in North American retail sales in the long term, as there are many factors driving product interest. Surveys conducted by THOR, RVIA and others show that Americans of all generations 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 on-going value consumers place on these factors, we expect to see continuedlong-term growth in the North American RV industry.

A The growth in industry-wide RV sales during late 2020 through early 2023 has also resulted in exposing a wider range of consumers to the RV lifestyle. We believe many of those who have been recently exposed to the industry for the first time will become future owners, and that those who became first-time owners since the onset of the pandemic will become long-term RVers, resulting in future repeat and upgrade sales opportunities. We also believe many consumers are likely to continue opting for fewer vacations via air travel, cruise ships and hotels, while preferring vacations that RVs are uniquely positioned to provide, allowing consumers the ability to explore or unwind, often close to home. 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 which we believe will continue to affect, our operating results include the costs of commodities, the availability of critical supply components 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 will impact our profit margins negatively if we are unable to offset those cost increases through a combination of product recontenting, 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.

It is extremely difficult to predict when or whether future supply chain issues related to chassis or other components used in the production of RVs will arise. Modifying available chassis for certain motorized products to use for other products is not a viable alternative, particularly in the short term, due to engineering requirements. The North American recreational vehicle industry has, from time to time in the past, experienced shortages of chassis for various reasons, including component shortages, production delays or other production issues and work stoppages at the chassis manufacturers.

While the North American RV industry has at times faced supply shortages or delivery delays of other, non-chassis raw material components, the supply chain is currently able to support our demand. If any factors were to impact our suppliers' ability to fully supply our needs for key components, our costs of such components and our production output could be adversely affected.

Industry Outlook — Europe

The Company monitors industry conditions in the European RV market using a number of resources including its own performance tracking and modeling. The Company also considers retail trends in the European RV market as reported by the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”) and its members. On a monthly basis, the Company receives original equipment manufacturer ("OEM")-specific reports for most of the individual member countries that make up the ECF through the Caravaning Industrie Verband e.V. (“CIVD”). The timing of these reports may vary, but typically they are issued on a one-to-two-month lag. While most countries provide OEM-specific information, the United Kingdom, which made up 20.7% and 8.3% of the caravan and motorcaravan (including campervans) European market for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, does not provide OEM-specific information. Industry wholesale shipment data for the European RV market is not available.

Within Europe, over 90% of our sales are made to dealers within 10 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 and other conditions. It is inherently difficult to generalize about the operating conditions within the entire European region.

Independent dealer inventory of our European RV products as of January 31, 2024 was approximately 24,800 units. Independent RV dealer inventory levels of our European products are generally in line with historic levels in the various countries we serve. Within Germany, which accounts for approximately 60% of our European product sales, independent dealer inventory levels are also generally in line with historical norms. Comparable independent dealer inventory unit information was not available as of January 31, 2023.

THOR’s European RV backlog as of January 31, 2024 decreased $309,431, or 10.1%, to $2,746,307 compared to $3,055,738 as of January 31, 2023, primarily due to improved chassis supply availability as chassis constraints in the prior year resulted in elevated backlogs.

European Outlook

Our European operations offer a full lineup of leisure vehicles including caravans and motorized products including urban vehicles, campervans and small-to-large motorcaravans. Our product offerings are not limited to vehicles only but also include accessories and services, including vehicle rentals. We address European retail 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 continue expanding our retail customer reach to new and younger consumer segments.

The impact of current macroeconomic factors on our business, including inflation and interest rates, supply chain constraints, environmental and sustainability regulations and geopolitical events, is uncertain. Our outlook for future European RV retail sales depends upon the various economic and regulatory conditions in the respective countries in which we sell our products, and on our ability to manage through supply chain issues that have, and are expected to continue to, impact the efficiency of our production of our motorized products 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, the level of disposable income of consumers, interest rates, the health of the housing market, tax rates and regulatory restrictions and, since the pandemic, travel safety considerations all influence retail sales. Our long-term outlook for future growth in European RV segment is supported by favorable demographics,retail sales remains positive as more people reach the age brackets that historically have accounted for the bulk of retail RV sales. The number of consumers between the ages of 55 and 74 will total 79 million by 2025, 15% higher than in 2015 according to the RVIA. In addition, in recent years the industry has benefited from growing retail sales to younger consumers with new product offerings targeted to younger, more active families, as they place a higher value on family outdoor recreation than any prior generation. Based on a study from the Pew Research Center, the “Millennial” generation, defined as those between the ages of 18 and 34, consisted of more than 75 million people in 2015. In general, these consumers are more technologically savvy, but still value active outdoor experiences shared with family and friends, making them strong potential customers for our industry in the decades to come. Based on the Kampgrounds of America (KOA) 2017 North American Camping Report, their millennial group comprised 31% of the total population in the most recent census, yet accounted for 38% of the total campers in 2016, which increased from 34% of the total campers in 2015. Younger RV consumers are generally attracted to lower and moderately-priced travel trailers, as affordability is a key driver at this stage in their lives.

As the first generation of the internet age, Millennials are generally more comfortable gathering information online, and are therefore generally more knowledgeable about products and competitive pricing than any prior generation. This generation is camping more as they view camping as an opportunity to spend time with family and friends as welldiscover RVs as a way to reduce stress,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.


We and our independent European dealers market our European recreational vehicles through multiple avenues including at numerous RV fairs at the pressurescountry and regional levels which occur throughout the calendar year. These fairs have historically been well-attended events that allow 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. The most recent 2023 Caravan Salon show in late August 2023 experienced near-record attendance, demonstrating the high level of everyday life, be more active and lead a healthier lifestyle.interest in the RV lifestyle despite the current macroeconomic uncertainties facing many consumers. In addition to younger age demographics, there are opportunities to expand sales to a more ethnically diverse customer base. In our efforts to connect with RV consumers of all generations, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017attendance at various strategic trade fairs, we launched a new consumer-facing website designed to inspire consumers to explore the RV lifestyle. The new website includes videohave and interactive features to help consumers determine the type of RV which may suit their specific camping needs, while providing video footage that can be utilized by dealers to market our products. In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we launched a targeted campaign towards Millennials, and have begun exploring related marketing opportunities. We will continue to consider additional marketing opportunitiesstrengthen and expand our digital activities to youngerreach high potential target groups, generate leads and more diverse consumers over the remaindersteer customers directly to dealerships. With approximately 1,100 active independent dealers in Germany and throughout Europe with whom we do business, we believe our European brands have one of the year. We anticipate our recent formation of the joint venture TH2, as discussedstrongest and most professionally structured dealer and service networks in Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, will further enhance the RV value proposition and ownership experience for this younger, more technically savvy customer group.

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 raw material or laborthese costs wouldwill impact our profit margins negatively if we wereare unable to raiseoffset those cost increases through a combination of product recontenting, material sourcing strategies, efficiency improvements or raising the selling prices for our products by corresponding amounts. Historically,

Throughout fiscal 2023, we have been ableexperienced delays in the receipt of, and significant reductions in the volume of, chassis from our European chassis suppliers, limiting our ability to pass along thosefurther increase production of our motorized products. While overall chassis supply has improved, we anticipate disruptions in the sequence of delivery of chassis to continue through the majority of calendar year 2024. The sequence of chassis supply inhibits our ability to efficiently and consistently maintain our planned production levels. Uncertainties related to changing emission standards may also impact the availability of chassis used in our production of certain European motorized RVs and could also impact consumer buying patterns.

In Europe, we also continue to experience cost increases, supply shortages and delivery delays of other, non-chassis raw material components which negatively impacted the efficiency of our production in the current fiscal year, and which resulted in the continuation of an elevated level of work in process inventory on hand compared to customers.

historical norms. We have not experienced any recent unusual cost increases or supply constraints from our chassis suppliers. The recreational vehicle industry has, from timebelieve these shortages and delays will continue to time, experienced shortagesresult in production inefficiencies and a continuation of chassis for various reasons, including component shortages, production delays andthe elevated level of work stoppages atin process inventory in the chassis manufacturers. These shortagesnear term, which will have had a negative impact on our salesEuropean operating results as well as on our consolidated results due to the negative impact of carrying excess inventory levels and earningsthe negative impact of completing units off the production line.


Where possible, to minimize the future impact of supply chain constraints, we have identified a second-source supplier base for certain component parts, however, the engineering requirements required with an alternate component part, particularly the chassis our various units are built upon, limits the impact of these alternative suppliers on reducing any near-term supply constraints.

In addition to potential material supply constraints, labor shortages may also impact our European operations. Currently, we are experiencing a shortage of available skilled workers due to near full employment rates in the past. We believe thatEuropean countries where the current supplymajority of chassis used in our motorized RV production is adequate for current production levels, and that available inventory would compensate for short-term changes in supply schedules if they occur.

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2018 increased $383,035,2024 decreased $139,266, or 24.1%5.9%, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2017. 2023. The decrease in consolidated net sales is primarily due to lower dealer and consumer demand in comparison to the prior-year period, primarily in the North American RV markets. Approximately 35.4% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 2024 were transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company’s most material exchange rate exposure is sales in Euros. The decrease in consolidated net sales includes an increase of $26,558 from the change in currency exchange rates between the two periods. To determine this impact, net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates that were in effect during the comparative period.

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended January 31, 2018 increased $58,626,2024 decreased $12,088, or 27.7%4.3%, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2017.2023. Consolidated gross profit was 13.7%12.3% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended January 31, 20182024 and 13.3%12.1% for the three months ended January 31, 2017.

2023. The decrease in consolidated gross profit was primarily due to the impact of the decrease in consolidated net sales while the slight increase in the consolidated gross profit percentage is due to the favorable impacts of selling price increases, stable material costs and cost-saving initiatives in the current-year quarter compared to the prior-year quarter.


Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 20182024 increased $20,119,$11,382, or 20.7%5.5%, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2017. Amortization of intangible assets expense for the three months ended January 31, 2018 decreased $1,483, or 9.7%, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2017,2023, primarily due to lower dealer network amortization as comparedthird-party fees of $7,175 related to the prior-year period. Incomedebt refinancing in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 as discussed in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The decrease of $25,824, or 78.9%, in income before income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2018 was $141,065,2024 as compared to $98,365the three months ended January 31, 2023 was primarily driven by the decrease in consolidated net sales and the increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses noted above.

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2017, an2024 was 22.7% compared with 21.1% for the three months ended January 31, 2023. The primary reason for the increase relates to the jurisdictional mix of $42,700, or 43.4%.

Additional information concerning the changes in net sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and income before income taxes are addressed below and in the segment reporting that follows.


Corporate costs included in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7,499 to $20,173$13,919 for the three months ended January 31, 20182024 compared to $12,674the three months ended January 31, 2023. This increase includes an increase of $7,990 in legal and professional fees, including the debt financing-related third-party fees of $7,175 discussed above. This increase also includes an increase in deferred compensation expense of $5,231 due to market value fluctuations between the two periods, an increase in innovation-led research and development costs of $2,578 and an increase in stock-based and other compensation of $1,015. These increases were partially offset by $4,200 of income from adjustments made during the quarter related to certain legal and recall matters as discussed in Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net expense in Corporate interest and other income and expense increased $9,697 for the three months ended January 31, 2017. The2024 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2023. This net expense increase is due in part toincluded an increase in compensation costs, as incentive compensation increased $761 in correlation with the increase in income before income taxes comparednet interest expense of $1,336 on our debt, primarily due to extinguishment charges of $7,566 related to the prior year, and stock-based compensation increased $1,259. The stock-based compensation increase is due to increasing income before income taxes over the past three years,refinancing of our debt facilities as most stock awards vest ratably over a three-year period. Deferred compensation expense also increased $1,419, which relates to the equal and offsetting increase in other income noted below due to the increase in the related deferred compensation plan assets. Legal and professional fees, including costs related to sales and marketing initiatives and the joint venture discussed in Note 1512 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements more than offsetting increased $2,541.

Corporate interest income received from higher average cash balances held and otherhigher interest income rates and lower debt interest expense was $1,682primarily due to lower average debt balances outstanding. In addition, the current-year period included a non-cash foreign currency loss of net income for the three months ended January 31, 2018$2,627 on certain Euro-denominated loans as compared to $1,145a $6,923 gain in the prior-year period. The current-year period also included operating losses of net expense for$3,502 related to our Roadpass Digital joint venture as discussed in Note 8 to the three months ended January 31, 2017. ThisCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These increases were partially offset by a favorable change of $2,827 is partially due to interest expense and fees of $1,202 incurred in the current-year period related to the revolving credit facility, as compared to $2,325 in the prior-year period, a decrease of $1,123 primarily as a result of the lower outstanding debt balance. In addition, the change$5,156 in the fair value of the Company’sCompany's deferred compensation plan assets due to market fluctuations and investment income resulted in $2,460 of net income inbetween the current-year period as compared to net income of $1,041 in the prior-year period, an increase of $1,419.

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2018 was 43.5% compared with 34.1% for the three months ended January 31, 2017. The primary reason for the increase in the effective income tax rate was the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) that was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Under the Tax Act, the federal corporate income tax rate has been reduced from 35.0% to 21.0% starting January 1, 2018, which results in the use of an estimated blended federal corporate income tax rate of 26.9% for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year. As a result of the Tax Act, the Company was also required to revalue its net deferred tax assets to reflect the impact of the lower tax rates. This revaluation caused anon-recurring,non-cash reduction of the Company’s net deferred tax assets, and a corresponding charge to income tax expense, of approximately $34,000. This charge was partially offset by the benefits of both the lower federal income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2018 and a tax benefit of $12,535 recorded in the three months ended January 31, 2018 from applying the lower federal income tax rate for fiscal 2018 to the results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

The increasedecrease in total towablesNorth American Towable net sales of 26.9%11.9% compared to the prior-year quarter resulted from a 21.0%10.2% increase in unit shipments and a 5.9% increase22.1% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in product mix and price. The increase in unit shipments is primarily due to the heightened demand for the lower cost travel trailers units, which increased 13.9% over the prior-year quarter. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the three months ended January 31, 2018,2024, combined North American travel trailer and fifth wheel wholesale unit shipments increased 19.1%12.9% compared to the same period last year.

According to the most recently published statistics from Stat Surveys, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our North American market share for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined was 39.7% and 41.2%, respectively. Comparisons of Company shipments to industry shipments on a quarterly basis would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year.


The decreases in the overall net price per unit within both the travel trailer product line of 24.6% and the fifth wheel product line of 11.1% were primarily due to the combined impact of sales price reductions due to lower input costs, higher sales discounting levels and product mix changes trending toward more moderately-priced units as compared to the prior-year quarter.

North American Towable cost of products sold decreased $99,817 to $677,071, or 92.6% of North American Towable net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to $776,888, or 93.6% of North American Towable net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2023. Changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $91,773 of the $99,817 decrease in cost of products sold. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American Towable net sales decreased to 82.2% for the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to 83.5% for the three months ended January 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in the material costs percentage from the combined favorable impacts of cost-saving initiatives and product mix changes. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the labor percentage primarily due to product mix changes.

Total manufacturing overhead decreased $8,044 in correlation with the decrease in sales but increased as a percentage of North American Towable net sales from 10.1% to 10.4% as the decreased net sales levels resulted in higher overhead costs per unit sold.

The increase in North American Towable gross profit of $1,034 for the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2023 was due to the decrease in net sales being more than offset by the favorable impact of the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The increase in North American Towable selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,051 for the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2023 is primarily due to increases in costs related to our repurchase obligations of $2,085 and legal and professional fees of $1,845, partially offset by the decrease in North American Towable net sales and income before income taxes causing related commissions, incentive and other compensation to decrease by $1,538. The increase in the overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of North American Towable net sales is primarily due to the decrease in net sales.

The increase in North American Towable income before income taxes of $7,780 for the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the loss before income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to lower amortization costs and larger gains on the sales of fixed assets in the current-year quarter.

The decrease in total North American Motorized net sales of 22.8% compared to the prior-year quarter resulted from a 18.4% decrease in unit shipments and a 4.4% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in product mix and price, which included elevated sales discounts compared to the prior-year quarter. The decrease in unit shipments is primarily due to a softening in current dealer and consumer demand in comparison with the demand in the prior-year quarter, which included independent dealer restocking of certain motorized products. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the three months ended January 31, 2024, combined North American motorhome wholesale unit shipments decreased 15.8% compared to the same period last year. According to the most recently published statistics from Stat Surveys, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our North American market share for motorhomes was 47.3% for both periods.

The changes in material, labor,freight-out and warranty costs comprised $69,738 of the $72,264 increase due to increased sales volume. Material, labor,freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of motorized net sales decreased to 84.6% for the three months ended January 31, 2018 compared to 85.0% for the three months ended January 31, 2017. This decrease in percentage was primarily the result of a decrease in the material cost percentage, which was partially due to operating efficiencies attained in the past year, primarily at Jayco, but this decrease was partially offset by an increase in labor costs associated with increasing employment levels and the continued competitive RV labor market. Total manufacturing overhead increased $2,526 with the volume increase, but decreased as a percentage of motorized net sales from 4.4% to 4.2%, as the increase in production resulted in better absorption of fixed overhead costs.

The $12,673 increase in gross profit was due primarily to the 15.5% increase in unit sales volume noted above, and the increase as a percentage of motorized net sales is due to the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $24,309, or 4.3% of motorized net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2018 compared to $20,868, or 4.4% of motorized net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2017. The $3,441 increase was partially due to increased motorized net sales and motorized income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, bonuses and other compensation to increase by $2,509. In addition, legal, professional and related settlement costs increased $462, primarily due to estimated product liability settlement costs. Sales-related travel, advertising and promotional costs also increased $254 in connection with the sales increase.

Motorized income before income taxes was $37,538, or 6.7% of motorized net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2018 compared to $28,488, or 6.0% of motorized net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2017. The primary reason for this increase in percentage was the impact of the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage as noted above.

The increase in total motorized net sales of 20.3%current year compared to the prior-year period resulted from a 20.7% increase in unit shipmentsperiod.


Liquidity and a 0.4% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the impact of changes in product mix and price. The 0.4% decrease in the overall motorized net price per unit, in spite of increases within the individual Class A, B and C product lines, is primarily due to a higher concentration of the more moderately-priced Class C units, as compared to Class A units, in the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the six months ended January 31, 2018, combined motorhome wholesale unit shipments increased 16.1% compared to the same period last year.

26


The modest increases in the overall net price per unit within the Class A product line of 0.8% and the Class C product line of 2.7% were primarily due to the net impact of product mix changes and selective net price increases. The increase in the overall net price per unit within the Class B product line of 5.1% is primarily due to the introduction of a new, higher-priced model since the prior-year period, and more option content per unit in the current-year period.

Cost of products sold increased $164,955 to $999,656, or 88.7% of motorized net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2018 compared to $834,701, or 89.1% of motorized net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The changes in material, labor,freight-out and warranty costs comprised $158,958 of the $164,955 increase due to increased sales volume. Material, labor,freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of motorized net sales was 84.7% for thesix-month period ended January 31, 2018 and 84.9% for thesix-month period ended January 31, 2017. The primary reason for this decrease in percentage was a decrease in the material cost percentage, which was partially due to operating efficiencies attained in the past year, primarily at Jayco, and purchase accounting charges related to Jayco included in the prior-year period. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in labor costs associated with increasing employment levels and the continued competitive RV labor market. Total manufacturing overhead increased $5,997 with the volume increase, but decreased as a percentage of motorized net sales from 4.2% to 4.0%, as the increase in production resulted in better absorption of fixed overhead costs.

Motorized gross profit increased $25,139 to $126,864, or 11.3% of motorized net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2018 compared to $101,725, or 10.9% of motorized net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The $25,139 increase in gross profit was due primarily to the 20.7% increase in unit sales volume noted above, and the increase as a percentage of motorized net sales is due to the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $51,017, or 4.5% of motorized net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2018 compared to $42,182, or 4.5% of motorized net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The $8,835 increase was partially due to increased motorized net sales and motorized income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, bonuses and other compensation to increase by $4,730. In addition, legal, professional and related settlement costs increased $2,757, primarily due to estimated product liability settlement costs and estimated costs related to an industry-wide recall of certain vendor-supplied components. Sales related travel, advertising and promotional costs also increased $804 in connection with the sales increase.

Motorized income before income taxes was $75,124, or 6.7% of motorized net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2018 compared to $57,411, or 6.1% of motorized net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The primary reason for this increase in percentage was the impact of the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above. In addition, the motorized income before income taxes percentage increased due to a gain of $1,506 on the sale of certain motorized buildings and equipment during the six months ended January 31, 2018.

The change in net working capital used $228,632resulted in a net use of operating cash during that period, primarily as a result of a larger than usual seasonal increase in accounts receivable due to both the timing of shipments and the increase in sales. Inventory also increased in conjunction with the increases in backlog and production facilities and lines, and required income tax payments exceeded the income tax provision during the period as well. These increases were partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have exposure


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

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK – The Company’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 $479,786 of debt denominated in Euros at January 31, 2024. A hypothetical 10% change in the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate would change our January 31, 2024 debt balance by approximately $47,978.

INTEREST RATE RISK – Based on our assumption of the Company’s floating-rate debt levels over the next 12 months, a one-percentage-point increase in interest rates on(approximately 13.2% of our variable-rate debt. Depending upon the borrowing option chosen, the interest charged is based upon either the Base Rate or LIBOR of a selected time period, plus an applicable margin. If interest rates increased by 0.25% (which approximates a 10% increase of the weighted-average interest rate on our borrowings as ofat January 31, 2018), our results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 20182024) would not have been materially affected.

result in an estimated $8,776 reduction in income before income taxes over a one-year period.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”,procedures,” as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule13a-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 necessarily 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, 2018,2024, there were no changes in our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements

The Company’s Insider Trading Policy permits its directors and officers to trade Company stock under a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K) that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, subject to compliance with applicable regulations as well as the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and share ownership requirements. The Insider Trading Policy provides that each officer or director Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement must be entered into in writing during an open trading window and at a time that the officer or director is not aware of material nonpublic information. The Company generally requires that any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement adopted by an officer or director must not expire within one year of implementation and is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period requirement.

On January 16, 2024, our Chief Financial Officer, Colleen Zuhl, adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (providing for the sale of up to 9,728 shares of Company common stock) that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Mrs. Zuhl’s Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement provides for a mandatory cooling-off period as required by Rule 10b5-1 and is scheduled to expire on January 16, 2025 or such earlier date as of which all of the shares covered by the arrangement have been sold. As of January 31, 2024, Mrs. Zuhl held 118,028 shares of Company common stock not subject to trading under her Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.

Except as described above, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K) during the three months ended January 31, 2024.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


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

There


Although risks specific to the supply chain disruptions are ongoing, and macroeconomic issues like general inflation, as well as certain geopolitical events, including military conflicts, remain, 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 Form10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017.
