SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |
Jul. 31, 2015 | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations The Company’s core ongoing business activities are comprised of two distinct operations, which include the design, manufacture and sale of motorized recreational vehicles and towable recreational vehicles. Accordingly, the Company has presented segmented financial information for these two segments in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s bus operations which were sold as of October 20, 2013. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements (including footnote disclosures unless otherwise indicated) reflect these operations as discontinued operations apart from the Company’s continuing operations. Principles of Consolidation Estimates Cash and Cash Equivalents Fair Value of Financial Instruments Inventories Depreciation Buildings and improvements – 10 to 39 years Machinery and equipment – 3 to 10 years Depreciation expense is recorded in cost of products sold except for $2,362, $2,542 and $2,783 in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which relates primarily to office buildings and office equipment and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Intangible Assets Long-lived Assets Product Warranties Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A summary of allowance for doubtful accounts activity is as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Beginning balance $ 348 $ 157 $ 527 Net charged to expense 359 63 (47) Write-offs, net of recoveries/payments (67) (72) (130) Acquisitions 643 200 – Discontinued operations reclassification – – (193) Ending balance $ 1,283 $ 348 $ 157 Insurance Reserves Revenue Recognition 1) An order for a product has been received from a dealer; 2) Written or oral approval for payment has been received from the dealer’s flooring institution, if applicable; 3) A common carrier signs the delivery ticket accepting responsibility for the product as agent for the dealer; and 4) The product is removed from the Company’s property for delivery to the dealer who placed the order. These conditions are generally met when title passes, which is when vehicles are shipped to dealers in accordance with shipping terms, which are primarily FOB shipping point. Most sales are made to dealers financing their purchases under flooring arrangements with banks or finance companies. Certain shipments are sold to customers on credit or cash on delivery (“COD”) terms. The Company recognizes revenue on credit sales upon shipment and COD sales upon payment and delivery. Products are not sold on consignment, dealers do not have the right to return products and dealers are typically responsible for interest costs to floor plan lenders. At the time of revenue recognition, amounts billed to dealers for delivery of product are recognized as revenue and the corresponding delivery expense charged to costs of products sold. Revenues from the sale of extruded aluminum components are recognized when title to products and the risk of loss are transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. Dealer Volume Rebates, Sales Incentives and Advertising Costs Repurchase Agreements – Income Taxes – The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the Company has to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, voluntary settlements and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets, if any. Valuation allowances must be considered due to the uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets. Companies must assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets on a tax jurisdictional basis based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a more likely than not standard. The Company has evaluated the realizability of our deferred tax assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets which includes the assessment of the cumulative income over recent prior periods. Earnings Per Share 2015 2014 2013 Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share 53,166,206 53,270,076 53,005,576 Stock options, unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units 109,304 91,614 109,972 Weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution 53,275,510 53,361,690 53,115,548 The Company excludes stock options, unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units that have an antidilutive effect from its calculation of weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution, but had none at July 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Accounting Pronouncements In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”), “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Under the new guidance, the disposal of a component or group of components of a business will be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. For the Company, ASU 2014-08 is effective for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components that first occur after July 31, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The impact to the Company will depend on future disposals. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 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 standard will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, 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. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2019 beginning on August 1, 2018. Entities have the option of using either retrospective transition or a modified approach in applying the new standard. The Company is currently evaluating the approach it will use to apply the new standard and the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11 (“ASU 2015-11”), “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” ASU 2015-11 requires inventory measured using any method other than last-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. Under this ASU, subsequent measurement of inventory using the LIFO and retail inventory method is unchanged. ASU 2015-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2018 beginning on August 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. |

ACQUISITIONS | 2. ACQUISITIONS Postle On May 1, 2015, the Company closed on a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Postle Aluminum Company, LLC for the acquisition of all the outstanding membership units of Postle Operating, LLC (“Postle”), a manufacturer of aluminum extrusion and specialized component products sold to RV and other manufacturers, for total cash consideration to date of $144,048, net of cash acquired. The net cash consideration of $144,048 was funded entirely from the Company’s cash on hand, based on a final determination of the actual net assets as of the May 1, 2015 closing date and paid during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Postle will operate as an independent operation in the same manner as the Company’s other subsidiaries. The operations of Postle are reported in Other, which is a non-reportable segment. The following table summarizes the fair values assigned to the Postle net assets acquired, which are based on internal and independent external valuations: Cash $ 2,963 Other current assets 54,780 Property, plant and equipment 32,251 Customer relationships 38,800 Trademarks 6,000 Backlog 300 Goodwill 42,871 Current liabilities (23,729 ) Capital lease obligations (7,225 ) Total fair value of net assets acquired 147,011 Less cash acquired (2,963 ) Total cash consideration for acquisition, less cash acquired $ 144,048 On the acquisition date, amortizable intangible assets had a weighted average useful life of 12.3 years. The customer relationships were valued based on the Discounted Cash Flow Method and will be amortized on an accelerated basis over 12 years. The trademarks were valued on the Relief from Royalty Method and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. Backlog was valued based on the Discounted Cash Flow Method and was amortized on a straight-line basis over 6 weeks. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Cruiser RV, LLC and DRV, LLC On January 5, 2015, the Company closed on a Stock Purchase Agreement (“CRV/DRV SPA”) for the acquisition of all the outstanding membership units of towable recreational vehicle manufacturer Cruiser RV, LLC (“CRV”) and luxury fifth wheel towable recreational vehicle manufacturer DRV, LLC (“DRV”) through its Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC subsidiary (“Heartland”). The Heartland operations are reported within the towable recreational vehicle reportable segment. In accordance with the CRV/DRV SPA, the closing was deemed effective as of January 1, 2015. As contemplated in the CRV/DRV SPA, the Company also acquired, in a series of integrated transactions, certain real estate used in the ongoing operations of CRV and DRV. The initial cash paid for this acquisition was $47,412, subject to adjustment, and was funded entirely from the Company’s cash on hand. Adjustments to increase the net cash consideration of $1,173 have been identified as of July 31, 2015, based on the determination of the actual net assets as of the close of business on December 31, 2014 and the finalization of certain tax matters, and paid during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The $1,173 included reimbursing the seller for $1,062 of cash on hand at the acquisition date, and resulted in total net cash consideration of $47,523.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS | 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On July 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“ASV SPA”) to sell its bus business to Allied Specialty Vehicles, Inc. (“ASV”) for cash of $100,000, subject to closing adjustments for changes in the net assets sold from April 30, 2013 to the closing date. The Company’s bus business, which manufactured and sold transit and shuttle buses, included the operations of Champion Bus Inc., General Coach America, Inc., Goshen Coach, Inc., ElDorado National (California), Inc. and ElDorado National (Kansas), Inc. This divestiture will allow the Company to focus on the strategic development and growth of its core recreational vehicle business. The sale was completed as of October 20, 2013 and the Company received $100,000 on October 21, 2013. Under the terms of the ASV SPA, the total cash consideration to be received was subject to adjustment based on changes in the carrying value of the net assets of the bus business between April 30, 2013 and October 20, 2013. The amount of the final net asset adjustment was determined through the completion of a post-close audit during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Based on the final agreed-upon carrying value of the bus business net assets sold as of October 20, 2013, an additional $5,043 was collected from ASV on February 19, 2014, representing the increase in bus net assets since April 30, 2013. As a result, final cash consideration received for the sale of the bus business totaled $105,043. The Company has recorded a pre-tax gain of $7,079 as a result of the sale. The results of operations for the bus business, including the gain on the sale of the bus business, have been reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that certain long-lived assets associated with the Company’s ambulance product line would be sold before the end of their previously estimated useful life. This was determined to be a triggering event and an impairment assessment relative to those assets was performed. Based on the assessment, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the assets would not be recoverable from future cash flows and as a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $4,715 related to certain amortizable intangible assets was recorded. In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, prior to the annual impairment assessment, the Company also performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment relative to the goodwill associated with the reporting unit that included the ambulance product line. Based on the assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of this reporting unit was less than the carrying value and therefore performed the second step of the goodwill impairment assessment, which requires estimating the fair values of the reporting unit’s net identifiable assets and calculating the implied fair value of goodwill. The fair value of this reporting unit was determined by a discounted cash flow model and market approach, consistent with its last annual impairment assessment. The implied fair value of goodwill was determined to be zero and, therefore, recorded goodwill was impaired and a non-cash impairment charge of $6,810 was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The goodwill impairment was primarily a result of lower forecasted margins and increased working capital requirements within this reporting unit. The non-cash impairment charges for amortizable intangible assets and goodwill discussed above totaled $11,525 for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and are included in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The asset fair values utilized in the impairment assessments described above were determined using Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820. On April 30, 2013, the Company sold the assets held and used in the conduct of its ambulance product line (excluding the plant utilized in ambulance production and certain other excluded assets) for a final price of $12,051. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale. Discontinued operations for fiscal 2013 include the results of the ambulance product line. The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations: 2015 2014 2013 Net sales $ – $ 83,903 $ 448,385 Operating income (loss) of discontinued operations $ (4,791 ) $ (5,735 ) $ 12,080 Pre-tax gain on disposal of discontinued business – 7,079 – Impairment charges – – 11,525 Income (loss) before income taxes (4,791 ) 1,344 555 Income tax benefit 2,167 2,142 631 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes $ (2,624 ) $ 3,486 $ 1,186 Operating loss of discontinued operations during fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 reflects expenses incurred directly related to the former bus operations, including ongoing costs related to liabilities retained by the Company under the ASV SPA for bus product liability and workers’ compensation claims occurring prior to the closing date of the sale. As a result of the sale of the bus business, and in accordance with the ASV SPA, the Company is no longer the primary obligor to the taxing authorities for bus operations in certain states. As a result, the Company eliminated the reserves associated with certain uncertain tax positions resulting in a net tax benefit of $1,883 which is reflected within discontinued operations for fiscal 2014. Under the terms of the sale, the Company has agreed to indemnify ASV for any claims made by the taxing authorities after the date of sale for these uncertain tax positions but does not expect future losses under this guarantee to be material. The effective tax rate of discontinued operations for fiscal 2014 was favorably impacted primarily by tax return to provision adjustments and the settlement of certain uncertain tax benefits. In accordance with the ASV SPA, the Company has retained the costs and liabilities associated with the bus business product liability and workers’ compensation claims for any occurrence prior to the closing date of the sale. |

The sale resulted in net cash proceeds of $7,352 and a gain on the sale of $1,888, which is included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. RV production from this facility was previously consolidated into another Company complex in the same region. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company determined it was more likely than not that certain long-lived assets, consisting of certain RV facilities, would be sold or altered before the end of their previously estimated useful life. Therefore, the Company performed impairment assessments over these facilities using Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820 to determine whether an impairment existed. As a result of these assessments, a non-cash impairment charge of $710 was recognized in the quarter ended October 31, 2013. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company determined it was more likely than not that certain RV facilities would be sold before the end of their previously estimated useful life and therefore, performed impairment assessments over these facilities using Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820 to determine whether an impairment existed. As a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $2,000 was recognized in the quarter ended July 31, 2013. |

The dealer networks and customer relationships are being amortized on an accelerated basis. Trademarks, design technology and other intangibles and non-compete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis. The increase in amortizable intangible assets in fiscal 2015 is due to the acquisitions of Postle and CRV/DRV as more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimated Amortization Expense: For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2016 $ 23,440 For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2017 20,671 For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2018 18,986 For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2019 16,975 For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2020 15,256 For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2021 and thereafter 73,690 $ 169,018 See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of goodwill and other intangibles asset impairment charges recognized related to discontinued operations. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but instead is reviewed for impairment by applying a fair-value based test to the Company’s reporting units on an annual basis as of April 30, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s reporting units are generally the same as its operating segments, which are identified in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair values are generally determined by a discounted cash flow model. These estimates are subject to significant management judgment, including the determination of many factors such as sales growth rates, gross margin patterns, cost growth rates, terminal value assumptions and discount rates, and therefore largely represent Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820. Changes in these estimates can have a significant impact on the determination of cash flows and fair value and could potentially result in future material impairments. Management engages an independent valuation firm to assist in its impairment assessments. As a result of the April 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 annual impairment assessments, no impairment of goodwill was identified. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment as of July 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are summarized as follows: Towables Motorized Other Total Balance at July 31, 2013: Goodwill $ 238,103 $ 17,252 $ – $ 255,355 Accumulated impairment charges – (17,252 ) – (17,252 ) Net balance as of July 31, 2013: 238,103 – – 238,103 Fiscal year 14 activity: Goodwill acquired 18,476 – – 18,476 Net balance as of July 31, 2014 256,579 – – 256,579 Fiscal year 15 activity: Goodwill acquired 13,172 – 42,871 56,043 Net balance as of July 31, 2015 $ 269,751 $ – $ 42,871 $ 312,622 The components of the net balance as of July 31, 2015 are summarized as follows: Towables Motorized Other Total Goodwill $ 269,751 $ 17,252 $ 42,871 $ 329,874 Accumulated impairment charges – (17,252 ) – (17,252 ) Net balance as of July 31, 2015: $ 269,751 $ – $ 42,871 $ 312,622 |

INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 10. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities using a three level hierarchy as prescribed in ASC 820. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted market prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are not observable, are supported by little or no market activity and include management’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company carries at fair value its investments in securities (primarily in mutual funds) held for the benefit of certain employees of the Company as part of a deferred compensation plan - measured with Level 1 inputs. Deferred compensation plan asset balances of $10,803 and $8,973 were recorded as of July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively, as components of other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. An equal and offsetting liability was also recorded in regards to the deferred compensation plan as a component of other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of the plan assets and the related liability are both reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. |

PRODUCT WARRANTY | 11. PRODUCT WARRANTY The Company generally provides retail customers of its products with a one-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 warranty liabilities are adequate. However, actual claims incurred could differ from estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserves. Warranty liabilities are reviewed and adjusted as necessary on at least a quarterly basis. 2015 2014 2013 Beginning balance $ 94,938 $ 84,250 $ 73,280 Provision 114,429 92,809 93,374 Payments (106,266) (87,402) (78,513) Acquisitions 5,105 5,281 – Discontinued operations reclassification – – (3,891) Ending balance $ 108,206 $ 94,938 $ 84,250 |

In addition, the Company has approximately $57,400 of gross state tax Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carry forwards that expire from fiscal 2016-2035 that the Company does not expect to realize and therefore has been fully reserved. The deferred tax asset of $1,595 associated with the state tax NOL carry forwards and the related equal and offsetting valuation allowance are not reflected in the table above. Unrecognized Tax Benefits: The benefits of tax positions reflected on income tax returns but whose outcome remains uncertain are only recognized for financial accounting purposes if they meet minimum recognition thresholds. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would have impacted the Company’s effective tax rate were $8,764 for 2015, $13,679 for 2014 and $21,765 for 2013. Changes in the unrecognized tax benefit during fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013 were as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Beginning balance $ 20,813 $ 32,733 $ 33,900 Tax positions related to prior years: Additions 126 9 436 Reductions (7,695) (9,281) (113) Tax positions related to current year: Additions 2,858 3,804 5,348 Settlements (1,898) (5,002) (5,593) Lapses in statute of limitations (1,048) (1,450) (1,245) Ending balance $ 13,156 $ 20,813 $ 32,733 The reductions to the tax positions related to prior years of $9,281 in fiscal year 2014 includes $1,378 of uncertain tax positions that were eliminated as a result of the sale of the bus business. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are not included in the schedule above. The total amount of liabilities accrued for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of July 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $1,895, $5,200 and $11,671 respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties expense (benefit) recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $(2,552), $(3,418) and $(932) respectively. The total unrecognized tax benefits above, along with the related accrued interest and penalties, are reported within the liability section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A portion of the unrecognized tax benefits is classified as short-term and is included in the “Income and other taxes” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the remainder is classified as a long-term liability. The components of total unrecognized tax benefits are summarized as follows: July 31, 2015 2014 2013 Unrecognized tax benefits $ 13,156 $ 20,813 $ 32,733 Reduction to unrecognized tax benefits for tax credit carry forward (2,109) (657) (440) Accrued interest and penalties 1,895 5,200 11,671 Total unrecognized tax benefits $ 12,942 $ 25,356 $ 43,964 Short-term, included in “Income and other taxes” $ 997 $ 1,667 $ 2,745 Long-term 11,945 23,689 41,219 Total unrecognized tax benefits $ 12,942 $ 25,356 $ 43,964 The Company anticipates a decrease of approximately $3,520 in unrecognized tax benefits, $920 in interest and $17 in penalties during fiscal 2016 from expected settlements or payments of uncertain tax positions and lapses of the applicable statutes of limitations. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Generally, fiscal years 2012, 2013 and 2014 remain open for federal income tax purposes and fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 remain open for state and Canadian income tax purposes. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and multiple state income tax returns. During fiscal 2015, the Company finalized its Illinois income tax audit for fiscal years July 31, 2011 and 2012. There were no tax assessments related to the completion of the Illinois audit. The Company is currently disputing the audit results by the state of Indiana for tax years ended July 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its exposure to additional payments for uncertain tax positions related to its Indiana income tax returns in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits. |
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMM
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS | 12 Months Ended |
Jul. 31, 2015 | |
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS | 13. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for certain dealers of certain of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to dealers in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the financial institution. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product and pre-defined curtailment arrangements. The Company typically resells the repurchased product at a discount from its repurchase price. The risk of loss from these agreements is spread over numerous dealers. In addition to the guarantee under these repurchase agreements, the Company may also be required to repurchase inventory relative to dealer terminations in certain states in accordance with state laws or regulatory requirements. The repurchase activity related to dealer terminations in certain states has historically been insignificant in relation to our repurchase obligation with financial institutions. The Company’s total commercial commitment under standby repurchase obligations on dealer inventory financing as of July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 were $1,363,576 and $1,226,650, respectively. The commitment term is generally up to eighteen 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 $4,163 and $3,948 as of July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively, which are included in other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table reflects losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled in the past three fiscal years. The Company believes that any future losses under these agreements will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 2015 2014 2013 Cost of units repurchased $ 7,171 $ 1,386 $ 6,926 Realization of units resold 5,906 1,098 6,020 Losses due to repurchase $ 1,265 $ 288 $ 906 Legal Matters 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”, 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. |

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | 15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Substantially all non-highly compensated employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan according to a matching formula determined by each operating subsidiary. Total expense for the plan was $565 in fiscal 2015, $387 in fiscal 2014 and $316 in fiscal 2013. The Company has established a deferred compensation plan for executives who do not participate in a 401(k) plan. This plan allows executives to defer a portion of their compensation and to direct the Company to invest the funds in mutual fund investments held by the Company. Participant benefits are limited to the value of the investments held on their behalf. Investments held by the Company are accounted for at fair value and reported as other long-term assets, and the equal and offsetting obligation to the participants is reported as other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of the plan assets and the related deferred liability are both recorded through the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company does not make contributions to the plan. The balance of investments held in this plan, and the equal and offsetting long-term liability to the executives, was $10,803 at July 31, 2015 and $8,973 at July 31, 2014. |

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | 16. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Treasury Stock The Company entered into a repurchase agreement, dated May 15, 2015 (the “May 15, 2015 Repurchase Agreement”), to purchase certain shares of its common stock from the Thompson Family Foundation (the “Foundation”) in a private transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the May 15, 2015 Repurchase Agreement, the Company purchased from the Foundation 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $60.00 per share, and held them as treasury stock, representing an aggregate purchase price of $60,000. The closing price of Thor common stock on May 15, 2015 was $61.29. The Foundation held shares of common stock of the Company previously owned by the late Wade F. B. Thompson, the Company’s co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer. At the time of the repurchase transaction, Alan Siegel, a member of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), served as a director of the Foundation. The repurchase transaction was evaluated and approved by members of the Board who are not affiliated with the Foundation. The transaction was consummated on May 19, 2015, and the Company used available cash to purchase the shares. The number of shares repurchased by the Company represented 1.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the repurchase. Stock-Based Compensation The Board approved the Thor Industries, Inc. 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Equity and Incentive Plan”) on October 25, 2010 and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Equity Incentive Plan”) on October 16, 2006. These plans were subsequently approved by shareholders at the 2010 and 2006 annual meetings, respectively. These plans are designed, among other things, to replace the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”) and the Company’s 1997 Restricted Stock Plan (the “1997 Plan”). Upon approval of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the 1999 Plan and the 1997 Plan were frozen. As a result, there will be no further grants pursuant to either the 1999 Plan or the 1997 Plan. The maximum number of shares issuable under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan is 2,000,000 and the maximum number of shares issuable under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is 1,100,000. Remaining shares available to be granted under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan are 1,393,257 and under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan are 30,000 as of July 31, 2015. Awards may be in the form of options (incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance compensation awards and stock appreciation rights. Options typically expire 10 years from the date of grant and are vested evenly over 3 to 5 years from the date of grant. Stock Options – A summary of option activity under the 1999 Plan, the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Shares Weighted- Shares Weighted- Shares Weighted- Outstanding at beginning of year 5,000 $ 28.23 106,313 $ 31.48 732,725 $ 28.89 Exercised (5,000) 28.23 (101,313) 31.64 (498,412) 28.62 Forfeited – – – – (120,000) 27.84 Expired – – – – (8,000) 26.91 Granted – – – – – – Outstanding at end of year – $ – 5,000 $ 28.23 106,313 $ 31.48 Vested and expected to vest at end of year – $ – 5,000 $ 28.23 106,313 $ 31.48 Exercisable at end of year – $ – 5,000 $ 28.23 106,313 $ 31.48 The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable as of July 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 is as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and expected to vest $ – $ 124 $ 2,399 Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable $ – $ 124 $ 2,399 There were no option grants during fiscal 2015, 2014 or 2013.

Cash received from stock option exercises for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $141, $3,206 and $5,845, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $168, $2,597 and $7,502, respectively. During fiscal 2015, stock options of 5,000 shares were exercised at an aggregate exercise price of $141. During fiscal 2014, stock options of 101,313 shares were exercised at an aggregate exercise price of $3,206. During fiscal 2013, stock options of 498,412 shares were exercised at an aggregate exercise price of $14,267. Of the 498,412 options exercised during fiscal 2013, 314,000 were done so on a cashless basis under which 63,464 shares were issued. The shares withheld as a result of the cashless exercise included the number of shares necessary to cover the exercise price as well as the employee withholding tax related to the exercise, which was then paid by the Company on the employees’ behalf in the aggregate amount of $2,009. Exercises of options are satisfied with the issuance of new shares from authorized shares. Stock Awards – A summary of restricted stock award activity under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 is as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Shares Weighted- Date Fair Value Shares Weighted- Date Fair Value Shares Weighted- Date Fair Value Nonvested, beginning of year 13,620 $ 31.08 17,530 $ 31.03 10,041 $ 29.46 Granted – – – – 9,498 32.36 Vested (3,907) 30.87 (3,910) 30.87 (2,009) 29.46 Forfeited – – – – – – Nonvested, end of year 9,713 $ 31.16 13,620 $ 31.08 17,530 $ 31.03 In fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded expense for restricted stock awards under this Plan of $115, $91 and $133, respectively. At July 31, 2015, there was $216 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.97 years. This restricted stock vests evenly over 5 years from the date of grant. During fiscal 2013, the Compensation and Development Committee of the Board (“the Committee”) approved a program to award restricted stock units to certain employees at the operating subsidiary and corporate levels. The first awards under this program were granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 related to fiscal 2012 performance. The Committee approved additional awards that were granted in fiscal 2014 related to fiscal year 2013 performance and approved additional awards that were granted in fiscal 2015 related to fiscal 2014 performance. The employee restricted stock units generally vest, and shares of common stock will be issued, in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. Starting in fiscal 2013 and again in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board awarded restricted stock units to Board members that will vest, and shares of common stock will be issued, on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. Total expense recognized in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 for restricted stock unit awards was $6,661, $5,140 and $2,290 respectively.

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition 1) An order for a product has been received from a dealer; 2) Written or oral approval for payment has been received from the dealer’s flooring institution, if applicable; 3) A common carrier signs the delivery ticket accepting responsibility for the product as agent for the dealer; and 4) The product is removed from the Company’s property for delivery to the dealer who placed the order. These conditions are generally met when title passes, which is when vehicles are shipped to dealers in accordance with shipping terms, which are primarily FOB shipping point. Most sales are made to dealers financing their purchases under flooring arrangements with banks or finance companies. Certain shipments are sold to customers on credit or cash on delivery (“COD”) terms. The Company recognizes revenue on credit sales upon shipment and COD sales upon payment and delivery. Products are not sold on consignment, dealers do not have the right to return products and dealers are typically responsible for interest costs to floor plan lenders. At the time of revenue recognition, amounts billed to dealers for delivery of product are recognized as revenue and the corresponding delivery expense charged to costs of products sold. Revenues from the sale of extruded aluminum components are recognized when title to products and the risk of loss are transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. |

Repurchase Agreements | Repurchase Agreements – |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes – The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the Company has to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, voluntary settlements and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets, if any. Valuation allowances must be considered due to the uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets. Companies must assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets on a tax jurisdictional basis based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a more likely than not standard. The Company has evaluated the realizability of our deferred tax assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets which includes the assessment of the cumulative income over recent prior periods. |

Accounting Pronouncements | Accounting Pronouncements In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”), “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Under the new guidance, the disposal of a component or group of components of a business will be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. For the Company, ASU 2014-08 is effective for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components that first occur after July 31, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The impact to the Company will depend on future disposals. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 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 standard will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, 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. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2019 beginning on August 1, 2018. Entities have the option of using either retrospective transition or a modified approach in applying the new standard. The Company is currently evaluating the approach it will use to apply the new standard and the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11 (“ASU 2015-11”), “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” ASU 2015-11 requires inventory measured using any method other than last-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. Under this ASU, subsequent measurement of inventory using the LIFO and retail inventory method is unchanged. ASU 2015-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2018 beginning on August 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. |
