Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted Accounting Standards CodificationUpdate ("ASC"ASU") Topic 326,740, Financial Instruments—Credit LossesIncome Taxes:Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which changeswas adopted in the accounting for credit losses on instruments measured at amortized costs, such as accounts receivables and deposits by adding an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. An entity will recognize as an allowance its estimatefirst quarter of expected credit losses, which is believed to result in more timely recognition of such losses as theFiscal 2022. The new standard eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold. The Companycertain exceptions to Topic 740's general principles, improves consistent application and simplifies its application. We adopted the new standard usingguidance in the modified retrospective approach, which involves recognizing the cumulative effectfirst quarter of initial adoption of Topic 326 as an adjustment to its opening retained earnings as of August 30, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) which reduces the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, amends diluted earnings per share ("EPS") calculations for convertible instruments, and amends the requirements for a contract (or embedded derivative) that is potentially settled in an entity's own shares to be classified in equity. Certain disclosure requirements were also added to increase transparency and decision-usefulness regarding a convertible instrument's terms and features. Additionally, the if-converted method for including convertible instruments must be used in diluted EPS as opposed to the treasury stock method. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, which is the Company'sour Fiscal 2023. Early adoption is permitted using either a modified retrospective or full retrospective approach. The Company expectsWe expect to adopt the new guidance in the first

This guidance is not applicable to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The guidance can be applied immediately through December 31, 2022. The CompanyWe will adopt this standard when LIBOR is discontinued and doesdo not expect a material impact to itsour financial condition, results of operations or disclosures based on the current debt portfolio and capital structure.

Note 2.    Business Combinations
In December 2019,
On August 31, 2021, we purchased 100% of the FASBequity interests of Barletta Boat Company, LLC and Three Limes, LLC (collectively, "Barletta"), a manufacturer of high-quality, premium pontoon boats that are sold through a network of independent authorized dealers.

The acquisition of Barletta resulted in a newly created Marine reportable segment that includes Barletta and Chris-Craft operating segments.

We acquired Barletta for a purchase price of $286.3 million, including cash payments of $240.1 million, $25.0 million in common stock issued ASU 2019-12,to the sellers (subject to a discount noted below), and contingent consideration from earnout provisions. The common stock fair value included in the purchase price reflects a 12% discount, due to the lack of marketability as these are unregistered shares that have a one-year lockup restriction, which reduced the value of the common stock to $22.0 million. The contingent consideration includes both a potential stock payout as well as a potential cash payment based on achievement of certain financial performance metrics over the next few years. The maximum payout under the earnout is $50.0 million in cash and $15.0 million in stock if all metrics are achieved. The fair value of the earnout at August 31, 2021 was $24.2 million. The fair value of the earnout as of November 27, 2021 was $30.6 million, of which $13.8 million is included in other current liabilities and $16.8 million is included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The total purchase price was allocated to the acquired net tangible and intangible assets of Barletta, based on their preliminary fair values at the date of the acquisition. We expect to finalize the allocation of the purchase price when our valuation of the acquired intangible assets, goodwill, and tax accounts is complete.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values assigned to the Barletta net assets acquired as of the date of acquisition:

(in thousands)August 31, 2021
Cash$11,903 
Other current assets24,564 
Property, plant, and equipment17,250 
Goodwill136,118

Accounts payable7,181 
Product warranties4,656 
Other current liabilities3,146 
Total liabilities assumed14,983 
Total purchase price$286,252 

Goodwill from the Barletta acquisition is recognized in our newly created Marine segment. We expect that the full amount of goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

The intangible assets acquired include a trade name, dealer network, and backlog. The trade name has an indefinite life, while the backlog and dealer network will be amortized on a straight line basis over Income Taxes (Topic 740):10 months and Simplifying12 years, respectively.

Total transaction costs related to the Accounting for Income Taxes, Barletta acquisition were $3.1 million, of which eliminates certain exceptions to Topic 740's general principles, improves consistent application and simplifies its application. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, which is the Company's Fiscal 2022, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company expects to adopt the new guidance in$2.4 million were expensed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 and does not expect a material impact to its financial condition,$0.7 million were expensed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021.

Note 3.4.    Investments and Fair Value Measurements
In determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, the Company utilizeswe utilize market data or other assumptions that it believeswe believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market and adjustsadjust for non-performance and/or other risks associated with the Companyus as well as counterparties, as appropriate. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:

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

Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Assets that Fund Deferred Compensation
The Company'sOur assets that fund deferred compensation are marketable equity securities measured at fair value using quoted market prices and primarily consist of equity-based mutual funds. These securities, used to fund the Executive Share Option Plan and the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, are classified as Level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing stock prices are readily available. Refer to Note 1110 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of the Company'sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 29, 202028, 2021 for additional information regarding these plans.

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

Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration represents the earnout liability related to the Barletta acquisition and is valued using a probability-weighted scenario analysis of projected EBITDA and gross profit results and discounted at a risk-free rate. The contingent consideration is classified as Level 3. Actual EBITDA and gross profit results may differ significantly from those used in the estimate above, which may affect future payments. Changes in future payments will be reflected in future operating results as they occur.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain financial instruments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets primarily include goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and right-of-use lease assets. These assets were originally recognized at amounts equal to the fair value determined at date of acquisition or purchase. If certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, the Companywe will evaluate the non-financial asset for impairment. If an impairment has occurred, the asset is will be written down to its current estimated fair value. NaNNo impairments were recorded for non-financial assets in the three or ninemonths ended May 29,November 27, 2021 or May 30,November 28, 2020.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
Certain financial instruments are not measured at fair value but are recorded at carrying amounts approximating fair value based on their short-term nature. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, other payables, and long-term debt. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using current quoted prices in active markets for our publicly traded debt obligations, which is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 89 for information about the fair value of the Company'sour long-term debt.

Note 7.8.    Product Warranties

The Company providesWe provide certain service and warranty on itsour products. From time to time, the Companywe also voluntarily incursincur costs for certain warranty-type expenses occurring after the normal warranty period expires to help protect the reputation of the Company'sour products and maintain the goodwill of the Company'sour customers. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon historical warranty and service claims experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and cost experience becomes available.

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

Credit Agreements
On July 8, 2020, the Companywe closed itsour private offering (the “Senior Secured Notes Offering”) of $300,000$300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes were issued in accordance with an Indenture dated as of July 8, 2020 (the “Indenture”). The Senior Secured Notes will mature on July 15, 2028 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes accrues starting July 8, 2020 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, which began on January 15, 2021. The Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees are secured by (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the subsidiary guarantor parties' existing and future assets (other than certain collateral under the Company’s ABL facility) and (ii) a second-priority lien on the Company’s present and future receivables, inventory and other related assets and proceeds that secure the ABL facility on a first-priority basis.

The Indenture limits certain abilities of the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions and qualifications) to incur additional debt and provide additional guarantees; make restricted payments; create or permit certain liens; make certain asset sales; use the proceeds from the sale of assets and subsidiary stock; create or permit restrictions on the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other inter-company distributions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its restricted subsidiaries.

Debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated debt agreement. If early principal payments are made on the Senior Secured Notes, a proportional amount of the unamortized debt issuance costs is expensed. As part of the Senior Secured Notes Offering, the Companywe capitalized $7,493$7.5 million in debt issuance costs that will be amortized over the eight-year term of the agreement.

On November 8, 2016, the Companywe entered into an asset-based revolving credit agreement ("ABL") and a loan agreement ("Term Loan") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan Chase"), as administrative agent and certain lenders from time to time party thereto. The remaining principal balance of the Term Loan as of July 8, 2020 was $249,750, which was repaid with the proceeds from the Senior Secured Notes, and debt issuance costs of $4,650 were written off upon repayment. In addition, the interest rate swaps with a liability position of $600 used to hedge the Term Loan interest rates were settled early in July 2020 in conjunction with the Term Loan repayment.

Under the ABL, the Company haswe have a $192,500$192.5 million credit facility that matures on October 22, 2024 (subject to certain factors which may accelerate the maturity date) on a revolving basis, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The ABL is available for issuance of letters of credit to a specified limit of $19,250. The Company

pays$19.3 million. We pay a commitment fee of 0.25% on the average daily amount of the facility available, but unused. The CompanyWe can elect to base the interest rate on various rates plus specific spreads depending on the amount of borrowings outstanding. If drawn, the Companywe would pay interest on ABL borrowings at a floating rate based upon LIBOR plus a spread of between 1.25% and 1.75%, plus LIBOR, depending on the usage of the facility during the most recent quarter. Based on current usage, the Companywe would pay LIBOR plus 1.25%.

Refer to Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2021 for additional information regarding these credit agreements.

Convertible Notes
On November 1, 2019, the Companywe issued $300,000$300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.5% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expense payable by the Company,us, were approximately $290,223.$290.2 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 1.5%, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020, and will mature on April 1, 2025, unless earlier converted or repurchased by the Company.us.

17

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

The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in connection with a conversion of the Convertible Notes made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances set forth in the indenture. It is the Company's current intent to settle all conversions of the Convertible Notes through settlement of cash. The Company’s ability to cash settle may be limited depending on the stock price at the time of conversion.

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

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

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

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

On October 29, 2019 and October 30, 2019, the Companywe also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the “Warrant Transactions” and, together with the Hedge Transactions, the “Call Spread Transactions”), whereby the Companywe sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of the Company'sour common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The initial strike price of the warrants is $96.20 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the Warrant Transactions), which is 100% above the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on October 29, 2019. The Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to the Company's shareholders to the extent that the market price per share of the Company's common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.
The Company used $28,590 of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes to pay the cost of the Call Spread Transactions.
  
The Hedge Transactions and the Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, and are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Convertible Notes. Holders of the Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Call Spread Transactions.

Accounting Treatment of the Convertible Notes and Related Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions
The Call Spread Transactions were classified as equity. The CompanyWe bifurcated the proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes between liability and equity components. On the date of issuance, the liability and equity components were calculated to be approximately $214,979$215.0 million and $85,021,$85.0 million, respectively. The initial $214,979$215.0 million liability component was determined based on the fair value of similar debt instruments excluding the conversion feature assuming a hypothetical interest rate of 8%. The initial $85,021$85.0 million ($64,10664.1 million net of tax) equity component represents the difference between the fair value of the initial $214,979$215.0 million in debt and the $300,000$300.0 million of gross proceeds. The related initial debt discount of $85,021$85.0 million is being amortized over the life of the Convertible Notes as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method.

In connection with the above-noted transactions, the Companywe incurred approximately $9,777$9.8 million of offering-related costs. These offering fees were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds and accounted for as debt and equity issuance costs, respectively. The CompanyWe allocated $7,006$7.0 million of debt issuance costs to the liability component, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs within long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. The remaining $2,771$2.8 million of transaction costs allocated to the equity component were recorded as a reduction of the equity component.

Fair Value and Future Maturities
As of May 29,November 27, 2021 and August 29, 2020,28, 2021, the fair value of long-term debt, gross, was $729,954$727.4 million and $674,709,$726.6 million, respectively.

Note 10.11.     Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Repurchase Commitments
Generally, manufacturers in the same industries as the Companyus enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. Most dealers are financed on a "floorplan" basis under which a bank or finance company lends the dealer all, or substantially all, of the purchase price, collateralized by a security interest in the units purchased.

The Company'sOur repurchase agreements generally provide that, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution, the Companywe will repurchase the financed merchandise. The terms of these agreements, which generally can last up to 24 months, provide that the Company'sour liability will be the lesser of remaining principal owed by the dealer to the lending institution, or dealer invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. The Company'sOur liability
18

Table of Contents
cannot exceed 100% of the dealer invoice. In certain instances, the Companywe also repurchasesrepurchase inventory from dealers due to state law or regulatory requirements that govern voluntary or involuntary relationship terminations. Although laws vary from state to state, some states have laws in place that require manufacturers of recreational vehicles or boats to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. The total contingent liability on all of our repurchase agreements of the Company was approximately $739,966$1,051.3 million and $798,906$727.7 million at May 29,November 27, 2021 and August 29, 2020,28, 2021, respectively.

Repurchased sales are not recorded as a revenue transaction, rather the net difference between the original repurchase price and the resale price is recorded against the loss reserve, which is a deduction from gross revenue. The Company'sOur loss reserve for repurchase commitments contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment regarding a number of factors. The Company'sOur risk of loss related to these repurchase commitments is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous dealers and lenders. The aggregate contingent liability related to the Company'sour repurchase agreements represents all financed dealer inventory at the period-end reporting date subject to a repurchase agreement, net of the greater of periodic reductions per the agreement or dealer principal payments. Based on these repurchase agreements and the Company'sour historical loss experience, an associated loss reserve is established which is included in accrued expenses: other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company'sOur repurchase accrual was $989$1.0 million and $980$0.9 million at May 29,November 27, 2021 and August 29, 2020,28, 2021, respectively. Repurchase risk is affected by the credit worthiness of the Company'sour dealer network. The Company doesWe do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to establish the loss reserve for repurchase commitments.

There was no material activity related to repurchase agreements during the ninethree months ended May 29,November 27, 2021 and May 30, 2020.August 28, 2021.

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

Note 12.13. Stock-Based Compensation

On December 11, 2018, the Company'sour shareholders approved the Winnebago Industries, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2019 Plan") as detailed in the Company'sour Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The 2019 Plan allows the Companyus to grant or issue non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted share units, and other equity compensation to key employees and to non-employee directors. The 2019 Plan replaces the 2014 Omnibus Equity, Performance Award, and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the "2014 Plan"). The number of shares of the Company's Common Stockour common stock that may be awarded and issued under the 2019 Plan is 4,1004.1 million shares, plus the shares subject to any awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan and the Company'sour predecessor plan, the 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”), on December 11, 2018 that subsequently expire, are forfeited or canceled, or are settled for cash. Until such time, awards under the 2014 Plan and the 2004 Plan, respectively, that arewere outstanding on December 11, 2018 will continue to be subject to the terms of the 2014 Plan or 2004 Plan, as applicable. Shares remaining available for future awards under the 2014 Plan were not carried over into the 2019 Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense was $4,738$2.7 million and $(308)$2.4 million during the three months ended May 29,November 27, 2021 and May 30, 2020, respectively, and $11,719 and $3,332 during the nine months ended May 29, 2021 and May 30,November 28, 2020, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service or performance period of the award.

Note 13. Restructuring

In Fiscal 2020, the Company's Class A diesel production included in the Motorhome reportable segment was moved from Junction City, OR to Forest City, IA. In November 2020, a portion of the property in Junction City, OR was sold for net proceeds of $7,731 with a resulting gain of $3,565. In May 2021, the rest of the property in Junction City, OR was sold for net proceeds of $4,692 with a resulting gain of $1,188. The gain on both sales is included within selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for Fiscal 2021. Total restructuring expenses related to the relocation for the nine months ended May 29, 2021 were immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect additional restructuring charges during the remainder of Fiscal 2021.

Note 14. Income Taxes

The Company'sOur effective tax rate was 22.8%23.2% and 25.3%23.4% for the three months ended May 29,November 27, 2021 and May 30, 2020, respectively, and 23.2% and 16.3% for the nine months ended May 29, 2021 and May 30,November 28, 2020, respectively. The decrease in tax rate for the three months ended May 29,November 27, 2021 compared to the three months ended May 30,November 28, 2020 was primarily due to a favorable tax adjustment in the third quarter of Fiscal 2020 primarily driven by a change in projected annual performance over a pretax loss resulting in a higher calculated effective tax rate. The increase in tax rate for the nine months ended May 29, 2021 compared to the nine months ended May 30, 2020 was driven primarily by the impact of a net favorable benefit in the current year related to stock compensation, partially offset by an increase to the rate due to consistent tax credits year-over-year over anand increased year to date pretax income in the current year.

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

The terms "Winnebago," "we," "us," and "our," unless the context otherwise requires, refer to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

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

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 29, 202028, 2021 (including the information presented therein under Risk Factors), as well as our reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other publicly available information. All amounts herein are unaudited. All dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise noted.

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

Acquisition of Barletta
On August 31, 2021, we completed our acquisition of all the equity interests of Barletta for $286.3 million funded with cash payments of $240.1 million, $25.0 million in common stock issued to the sellers (subject to a 12% discount), and contingent consideration from earnout provisions. For further discussion regarding the acquisition, refer to Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1 of Part I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The acquisition of Barletta resulted in a newly created Marine reportable segment effective for the first quarter of Fiscal 2022. The segment consists of Barletta and our existing Chris-Craft operating segment.

COVID-19 Pandemic
We continue to monitor guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities, regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and may take additional actions based on their requirements and recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. Overall, there has been strong retail demand by consumers of RVs as a safe travel option, and of marine products as a safe way to experience the outdoors, during the COVID-19 pandemic. While ourOur production has experienced certain supply shortages, and if supply shortages continue or there are additional disruptions in our supply chain, it could materially or adversely impact our operating results and financial condition. Despite certain supply shortages, we continue to actively manage through these temporary supply chain disruptions. Refer to the COVID-19 related risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part I in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2020.28, 2021.

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

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

Refer to the ResultsIncluded in "Results of Operations - Current Quarter Compared to the Comparable Prior Year Quarter and the Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended May 29, 2021 Compared to the Nine Months Ended May 30, 2020 forQuarter" is a detailed reconciliation of items that impacted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.EBITDA from net income, the nearest GAAP measure. We have included these non-GAAP performance measures as a comparable measure to illustrate the effect of non-recurring transactions occurringthat occurred during the reported periods and to improve comparability of our results from period to period. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because these measures excludeas this measure excludes amounts from net income that we do not consider part of our core

operating results when assessing our performance. Examples of items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include acquisition-related costs, litigation reserves, restructuring expenses, gain or loss on sale of property, plant and equipment, contingent consideration fair value adjustment, and non-operating (income)income or loss.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as our performance relative to competitors and peers; (b) to measure operational profitability on a consistent basis; (c) in presentations to the members of our Board of Directors to enable our Board of Directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in its assessmentstheir assessment of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company;forecasting; (d) to evaluate potential acquisitions; and (e) to ensure compliance with covenants and restricted activities under the terms of our ABL Credit Facility and outstanding notes, as further described in Note 89 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the industry.

Our two reportable segments are Towable (an aggregation of the Winnebago towables and Grand Design towables operating segments) and Motorhome (an aggregation of the Winnebago motorhomes and Newmar motorhomes operating segments). Towable is comprised of non-motorized products that are generally towed by another vehicle, along with other related manufactured products and services. Motorhome is comprised of products that include a motorized chassis, along with other related manufactured products and services.

The Corporate / All Other category includes the Chris-Craft marine and Winnebago specialty vehicles operating segments as well as certain corporate administration expenses related to the oversight of the enterprise such as corporate leadership and administration costs.

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

We track RV industry conditions using these key statistics to monitor trends and evaluate and understand our performance relative to the overall industry. The following is an analysis of changes in these key statistics for the rolling 12 months through April as of 2021 and 2020:

(2)    Motorhome: Class A, B, and C products.

Wholesale unit shipments have experienced growth (after the initial industry-wide shutdown of RV manufacturing for a six-week period beginning the last week of March 2020) due to high levels of end consumer demand and extremely low levels of dealer inventories, most notably in the towables segment, as consumers considered RVs a safe travel option during the COVID-19 pandemic. The rolling twelve months retail information for 2021 and 2020 illustrates that retail sales remain at healthy levels relative to the industry's historical retail levels. We believe retail demand is the key driver to continued growth in the industry.

The most recent RVIA wholesale shipment forecasts for calendar year 2021, as noted in the table below, indicate that industry shipments are expected to experience growth in 2021. The retail activity is anticipated to remain at healthy levels and wholesale shipments are expected to reflect a rebound associated with dealers rebuilding their inventories throughout 2021 and likely into 2022 before normalizing.

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

Fiscal 2020 results were negatively impacted by the unprecedented series of events related to the COVID-19 pandemic which included the suspension of the Company's manufacturing operations as well as disruptions across its dealer network, supply chain and end consumers during most of the third quarter.

Net revenues increased primarily due to organic unit growth, the annualized impact from our Newmar acquisition, which took place in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, and pricing actions, including lower allowances.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased primarily due to improved leverage as a result of higher revenues, pricing actions, including lower allowances, and productivity initiatives.

Operating expenses increased primarily driven by an increase in enterprise-wide variable compensation, higher selling costs and a full year of Newmar operating costs, partially offset by prior year acquisition-related costs, a gain on sale of certain assets and lower Newmar amortization expense.

Interest expense increased primarily due to a higher interest rate on the refinancing of our Term Loan in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020.

Our effective tax rate increased to 23.2% for the nine months ended May 29, 2021 compared to 16.3% for the nine months ended May 30, 2020 primarily due to consistent year-over-year tax credits on higher current year pretax income.

Net income and diluted earnings per share increased primarily due to leverage gained on higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses and a higher effective tax rate.

Financing Activities
Cash provided byused in financing activities switchedincreased primarily due to cash used in Fiscal 2021 primarily driven by financing of the Newmar acquisition in the prior year through the issuance of Convertible Notes and Warrants, partially offset by the purchase of a convertible bond hedge, and an increase in stock repurchases in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021.2022.

Debt and Capital
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, we issued Convertible Notes, which were partially used to fund the Newmar acquisition. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details.

On July 8, 2020, we closed on our private offering (the "Senior Secured Notes Offering") of $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior secured notes due 2028 (the "Senior Secured Notes"). The proceeds from the Senior Secured Notes were used to repay the remaining debt on the Term Loan and for general corporate purposes. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details.

We maintain a $192,500$192.5 million asset-based revolving credit facility ("ABL Credit Facility") with a maturity date of October 22, 2024 subject to certain factors which may accelerate the maturity date. As of May 29,November 27, 2021, we had no borrowings against the ABL Credit Facility.

As of May 29,November 27, 2021, we had $405,841$211.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $192,500$192.5 million in unused ABL Credit Facility. Our cash and cash equivalent balances consist of high quality, short-term money market instruments.

We believe cash flow from operations, existing lines of credit, and access to debt and capital markets will be sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs, and we have committed liquidity and cash reserves in excess of our anticipated funding requirements. We evaluate the financial stability of the counterparties for the Convertible Notes, the Senior Secured Notes, and the ABL Credit Facility, and will continue to monitor counterparty risk on an on-going basis.

Other Financial Measures
Working capital at May 29,November 27, 2021 and August 29, 202028, 2021 was $613,007$502.5 million and $413,220,$651.6 million, respectively. We currently expect cash on hand, funds generated from operations, and the borrowing available under our ABL Credit Facility to be sufficient to cover both short-term and long-term operating requirements.

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

On October 14, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.50 per share, by 60,000 shares to a total of 120,000 shares. This amendment was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on December 15, 2020. The amendment, along with an amended and restated Articles of Incorporation, were made effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Iowa on December 17, 2020.

On October 18, 2017,13, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program in the amount of $70,000. There is$200.0 million with no time restriction on the authorization.authorization, which took effect immediately and replaced the prior program. In the ninethree months ended May 29,November 27, 2021, we repurchased 204,000281,000 shares of our own common stock at a cost of $10,004$19.6 million under this authorization, and 38,00055,000 shares at a cost of $2,105$4.1 million to satisfy tax obligations on employee equity awards vested. We continually evaluate if share repurchases reflect a prudent use of our capital and, subject to compliance with our ABL Credit Facility and Senior Secured Notes, we may purchase shares in the future. At May 29,November 27, 2021, we have $58,761$190.0 million remaining on our Board approved repurchase authorization.

On May 19,December 15, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12$0.18 per share payable on June 30, 2021,January 26, 2022, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on June 16, 2021.January 12, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, we implemented an ERP system within specific areas of certain operating segments which is expected to improve the efficiency of certain financial and related transaction processes. We have evaluated and tested the implementation of the ERP system for effect on our internal control over financial reporting. We have concluded, as part of our evaluation described in the above paragraphs, that the implementation of the ERP system in these circumstances has not materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the thirdfirst quarter of Fiscal 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
