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

1.    Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

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

The July 31, 20222023 amounts are derived from the annual audited financial statements of THOR. The interim financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022.2023. Due to seasonality within the recreational vehicle industry, and the impact of the ongoing supply chain disruptions primarily in Europe, inflation and shifting consumer demand on our industry, among other factors, annualizing the results of operations for the ninethree months ended April 30,October 31, 2023 would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

During the quarter ended January 31, 2023, the Company reclassified certain immaterial investments accounted for under the equity method, which had previously been shown as a component of Other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, to a separate line called Equity investments. In addition, certain other immaterial amounts from the prior year have been reclassified to conform with current-year presentation.

2.    Acquisitions

Airxcel

On September 1, 2021, the Company acquired Wichita, Kansas-based AirX Intermediate, Inc. (“Airxcel”). Airxcel manufactures a comprehensive line of high-quality component products which are sold primarily to original equipment RV manufacturers as well as consumers via aftermarket sales through dealers and retailers. Airxcel provides industry-leading products in recreational vehicle heating, cooling, ventilation, cooking, window coverings, sidewalls and roofing materials, among others. The total cash consideration paid was subject to the final determination of the actual acquired net working capital as of the close of business on September 1, 2021, which was finalized in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The final cash consideration was $745,279, net of cash acquired. In conjunction with the Airxcel acquisition, the Company expanded its existing asset-based credit facility (“ABL”) from $750,000 to $1,000,000, favorably amended certain terms of the agreement and extended the term of the ABL.

The Company acquired Airxcel as part of its long-term, strategic growth plan and the acquisition is expected to provide numerous benefits, including strengthening the RV supply chain, diversifying its revenue sources and expanding Airxcel's supply chain business in North America and Europe. Airxcel operates as an independent operation in the same manner as the Company's other subsidiaries.

Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company made immaterial measurement period adjustments to better reflect the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the final fair values of the Airxcel net assets acquired on the acquisition date.

Cash$23,404 
Inventory71,150 
Other assets62,657 
Property, plant and equipment40,518 
Amortizable intangible assets:
Customer relationships284,000 
Trademarks56,900 
Design technology assets60,600 
Backlog700 
Goodwill372,608 
Current liabilities(115,535)
Deferred income tax liabilities(77,086)
Other liabilities(10,494)
Non-controlling interest(739)
Total fair value of net assets acquired768,683 
Less cash acquired(23,404)
Total cash consideration for acquisition, less cash acquired$745,279 

On the acquisition date, amortizable intangible assets had a weighted-average useful life of 18.3 years. The customer relationships were valued based on the Discounted Cash Flow Method and are being amortized on an accelerated basis over 20 years. The trademarks were valued on the Relief from Royalty Method and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The design technology assets were valued on the Relief from Royalty Method and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years. Backlog was valued based on the Discounted Cash Flow Method and was amortized on a straight-line basis over 2 months. The majority of the goodwill recognized as a result of this transaction is not deductible for tax purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma information represents the Company’s results of operations as if the fiscal 2022 acquisition of Airxcel had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2021. These pro forma results may not be indicative of the actual results that would have occurred under the ownership and management of the Company.

9.8.    Equity Investments

EffectiveAs discussed in Note 8 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K, effective December 30, 2022, the Company entered intoformed a Subscription and Contribution Agreementjoint venture with TechNexus Holdings LLC (“TechNexus”), whereby the Company transferred TH2Connect, LLC d/b/a Roadpass Digital (“Roadpass Digital”) and its associated legal entities to TN-RP Holdings, LLC (“TN-RP”), a new legal entity formed by TechNexus, in a non-cash transaction following which the Company and TechNexus own 100% of the Class A-RP units and Class C-RP units, respectively, issued by TN-RP. The Company also simultaneously entered into an Operating Agreement with TechNexus related to TN-RP whereby TechNexus will manage the day-to-day operations of TN-RP subject to certain protective rights maintained by the Company. The rights and privileges of the Company and TechNexus as unit holders of TN-RP are governed by the terms of the Operating Agreement, which includes provisions for distributions during its existence and at dissolution.

TN-RP is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), in which both the Company and TechNexus each have a variable interest. The Company’s equity interest, which entitles the Company to a share of future distributions from TN-RP, represents a variable interest. TechNexus’s compensation in exchange for its services as manager of TN-RP includes ongoing cash payments and a share of future distributions, both as defined in the Operating Agreement. This compensation represents a variable interest for TechNexus as the Company believes that the total compensation is above market for the effort required to provide the requisite management services. TN-RP is a VIE because it is reliant on the Company for financing cash needs and would not otherwise be able to secure such financing at market terms. The formation of TN-RP and the agreements are intended to allow TN-RP to maximize its efficiency and operating effectiveness under the direct day-to-day management and oversight of TechNexus. TechNexus will manage the operations and have control over key decisions in accordance with the Operating Agreement which provides TechNexus with the authority and power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of TN-RP. As such, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of TN-RP.

As a result of the December 30, 2022 agreements and the factors noted above, the Company no longer had a controlling financial interest in Roadpass Digital which resulted in the deconsolidation of Roadpass Digital subsequent to December 30, 2022. The Company’s investment in TN-RP was valued at approximately $105,600 as of the agreement date based on the Discounted Cash Flow Method and Option Pricing Model. This fair value measurement includes significant management judgment, particularly estimates of future cash flows based on revenues and margins that TN-RP is forecasted to generate in the future, terminal value assumptions and discount rates developed using market observable inputs and consideration of risks regarding future performance. Additionally, the Option Pricing Model further utilized estimates related to volatility, incorporating a selection of guideline public companies, and expected time to exit. The Discounted Cash Flow Method and Option Pricing Model both used level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820.

The derecognition of the Roadpass Digital net assets and recognition of the Company’s investment in TN-RP resulted in an immaterial gain that is included in Other income, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

As of April 30, 2023, the Company had the following investment and maximum exposure to loss:

Carrying amount of investment in TN-RP$105,561 
Maximum exposure to loss$124,381 

The maximum exposure above includes the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in TN-RP as of April 30, 2023 plus the Company’s maximum remaining commitment to fund operating cash needs upon request from TechNexus, as operating manager of TN-RP.

The Company has significant influence due to its Class A-RP unit ownership interest, non-majority seats on the TN-RP advisory board and certain protective rights, and therefore the Company’s investment in TN-RP is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and reported as a component of Equity investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets beginning after December 30, 2022. In applying the equity method of accounting,Sheets. Similarly, the Company will allocate its shareholds an additional investment that is also a VIE over which the Company has significant influence. This is also reported as a component of earningsEquity investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company had the following aggregate investment and losses using a hypothetical liquidation at book value method, as the Operating Agreement specifies how earnings and losses aremaximum exposure to be allocated amongst the unit holders. loss related to these VIEs:

October 31, 2023July 31, 2023
Carrying amount of investments$130,100 $126,909 
Maximum exposure to loss$153,019 $161,459 

The Company’s share of gains and losses accounted for under the equity method of accounting are included in Corporate Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The losses recognized in the three and nine months ended April 30,October 31, 2023 were $4,688$5,935, and $6,248, respectively.

the amounts recognized in the three months ended October 31, 2022 were not material.

10.9.    Concentration of Risk

One dealer, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for 11% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended April 30, 2023 and 14% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended April 30, 2022,October 31, 2023 and accounted for 13%15% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the nine-monththree-month period ended April 30, 2023 and 14% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the nine-month period ended April 30,October 31, 2022. The majority of the sales to this dealer are reported within the North American TowablesTowable and North American Motorized reportable segments. This dealer also accounted for 15%19% and 13% of the Company’s consolidated trade accounts receivable at April 30,October 31, 2023 and 10% at July 31, 2022.2023, respectively. The loss of this dealer or a deterioration in the liquidity or creditworthiness of this dealer could have a material effect on the Company’s business.

11.10.    Fair Value Measurements

The financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at April 30,October 31, 2023 and July 31, 20222023 are as follows:

Cash equivalents represent investments in short-term money market instruments that are direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and/or repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. These investments are reported as a component of Cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.






11


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

Equity investments represent certain stock investments that are publicly traded in an active market.

The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current available forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using observable market rates.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the applicable observable yield curves.

14.13.    Provision for Income Taxes

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 30,October 31, 2023 was 23.0%, and the effective income tax24.2%. This rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2023 was 23.0%. These rates were both favorably impacted by certain foreign tax rate differences and mix of earnings between foreign and domestic operations which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax.

The favorable foreign rate differential was partially offset by additional tax expense related to the jurisdictional mix of earnings between foreign and domestic operations during the three months ended October 31, 2023. The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 30,October 31, 2022 was 25.2%23.3%, and the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2022which was 23.6%.

The negative adjustments were partially offset byrate differences, which include certain foreigninterest income not subject to corporate income tax. The favorable foreign rate differential was partially offset by tax expense from the vesting of share-based compensation awards during the three months ended October 31, 2022.

15.14.    Contingent Liabilities, Commitments and Legal Matters

The Company’s total commercial commitments under standby repurchase obligations on global dealer inventory financing were $4,444,812$3,704,564 and $4,308,524$3,893,048 as of April 30,October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022,2023, respectively. The commitment term is generally up to 18eighteen months.

The Company accounts for the guarantee under repurchase agreements of independent dealers’ financing by deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee at inception. This estimate is based on recent historical experience supplemented by the Company’s assessment of current economic and other conditions affecting its independent dealers. This deferred amount is included in the repurchase and guarantee reserve balances of $13,701$13,155 and $11,346$12,114 as of April 30,October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022,2023, respectively, which is included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled during the three and nine months ended April 30,October 31, 2023 and April 30,October 31, 2022 were not material. Based on current market conditions and other conditions affecting its independent dealers, the Company believes that any future losses under these agreements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is also involved in certain litigation arising out of its operations in the normal course of its business, most of which is based upon state “lemon laws,” warranty claims and vehicle accidents (for which the Company carries insurance above a specified self-insured retention or deductible amount). The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty. There is significant judgment required in assessing both the probability of an adverse outcome and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. Based on current conditions, management does not believeand 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.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, for both the three and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2023, the Company’s adjustments related to these matters were not material. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company’s adjustments related to these two matters were not material, and during the nine months ended April 30, 2022,2024, the Company recognized $32,125$10,000 of net expenseincome as a component of selling, general and administrative costsexpense from adjustments related to these two matters.matters, and in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the impact of the Company’s adjustments related to these matters was not material.

19.    Subsequent Event

On November 15, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to both its term loan and ABL agreements. Pursuant to the term loan amendments, the applicable margin used to determine the interest rate on U.S. dollar-denominated loans was reduced by 0.25% so that the applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate ("ABR")-based loans is 1.75% and 2.75% for SOFR-based loans. The SOFR credit spread adjustment applicable to U.S. dollar-denominated SOFR-based loans was eliminated. The applicable margin for Euro-denominated EURIBOR-based loans was unchanged. The maturity date for the term loan was extended from February 1, 2026 to November 15, 2030. Covenants and other material provisions of the term loan agreement remain materially unchanged. As of the November 15, 2023 amendment date, the principal amounts outstanding under the term loan agreement were $450,000 on the U.S. dollar-denominated term loan tranche and 330,000 Euro on the Euro-denominated term loan tranche. Pursuant to the ABL amendment, the maturity date for loans under the ABL agreement was extended from September 1, 2026 to November 15, 2028. Maximum availability under the ABL remains at $1,000,000 and there were no borrowings outstanding as of the November 15, 2023 amendment date. The applicable margin, covenants and other material provisions of the ABL remain materially unchanged.

As a result of these amendments and associated maturity date extensions, extinguishment accounting under ASC 470-50 will be applied to certain existing capitalized term loan and ABL debt costs. The Company expects to recognize total expense of approximately $20,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 related to these amendments, which will primarily be a non-cash extinguishment charge included in interest expense. In addition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 the Company will capitalize applicable financing costs related to these amendments which will be amortized over the remaining term of the amended term loan and ABL agreements.

Executive Overview

We were founded in 1980 and have grown to become the largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) in the world.world based on units sold and revenue. We are also the largest manufacturer of RVs in North America, and one of the largest manufacturers of RVs in Europe. In North America, according to Statistical Surveys, Inc. (“Stat Surveys”), for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023, THOR’s current combined U.S. and Canadian market share based on units sold was approximately 42.2% for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined and approximately 47.7%49.0% for motorhomes. In Europe, according to the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”) and based on unit registrations for Europe's original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) reporting countries,, our European market share for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 based on units sold was approximately 19.9%21.1% for motorcaravans and campervans combined and approximately 18.0%18.5% for caravans.

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

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





27

21


We generally have financed our growth through a combination of internally generated cash flows from operations and, when needed, outside credit facilities. Ongoing supply chain constraints,challenges, particularly chassis constraints within our European operations, have and could continue to impact our business and our consolidated financial results and financial position. In addition, the impact of recent inflation on consumer confidence, which historically has been highly correlated with RV retail sales, and the impact of inflation on the availability of discretionary funds of our end consumers, combined with significantly higher interest rates compared to recent years impacting both our independent dealers and the end consumer, has had a negative impact on demand for our products at both the wholesale and retail levels so far during the first quarter of fiscal 20232024 and are expected to continue to impact the remainder of calendar year 2023.2023 and into early calendar year 2024. These risks to our business are more fully described in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022.

Recent Events

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted in August 2022. Among other provisions, this statute provides for a 1% tax to be imposed on the fair market value of shares repurchased by issuers whose shares are traded on an established securities market, subject to certain exceptions. The tax applies to repurchases made after December 31, 2022, and the Company believes the excise tax on repurchases will not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.2023.

Industry Outlook — North America

The Company monitors industry conditions in the North American RV market using a number of resources including its own historical performance tracking and our own internal forecast modeling. The Company also considers monthly wholesale shipment data as reported by the RV Industry Association (“RVIA”), which is typically issued on a one-month lag and represents manufacturers’ North American RV production and delivery to dealers, as well as RVIA’s forecasts which are typically published 3 to 4 times a year.dealers. In addition, we monitor monthly North American actual retail sales trends as reported by Stat Surveys, whose data is typically issued on a month-and-a-half lag. The Company believes that monthly RV retail sales data is important as consumer purchases impact future dealer orders and ultimately our production and net sales.

North American RV independent dealer inventory of our North American RV products as of April 30,October 31, 2023 decreased 16.6%31.5% to approximately 113,00083,800 units, compared to approximately 135,500122,300 units as of April 30,October 31, 2022. As of April 30,October 31, 2023, we believe North American dealer inventory levels for most towable products are generally at, or slightly higher than, the levels that dealers are comfortable stocking given the current retail sales levels and associated carrying costs. We believe dealer inventory levels for motorized product lines are generally more closely aligned to dealer’sdealers’ desired stocking levels as of the end of AprilOctober 2023, although carrying costs, chassis availability and retail sales activity have been factors considered as the dealers determine their appropriate stocking levels. We believe dealers will continue to closely evaluate the unit stocking levels that they will elect to carry in future periods, which may be less than historical unit stocking levels, due to a combination of factors such as retail activity, RV wholesale prices as well as interest rates and other carrying costs.

THOR’s North American RV backlog as of April 30,October 31, 2023 decreased $8,979,517,$2,398,793, or 81.6%54.1%, to $2,020,198$2,033,345 compared to $10,999,715$4,432,138 as of April 30,October 31, 2022. The decrease in backlog is primarily a result of a reduction in recent orders from dealers due to lower retail sales and dealer concerns over current interest costs and other carrying costs compared to the current dealer stocking level assessments noted above.prior-year period.

As part of their August 2023 forecast, RVIA also released their initial estimates for calendar year 2024 wholesale unit shipments. In the most likely scenario, total annual towable and motorized unit shipments are projected to increase to approximately 369,700 units, or 24.4% higher than the most likely scenario for calendar year 2023 wholesale shipments. According to RVIA, this calendar year 2024 most likely forecast could range from a lower estimate of approximately 363,700 total units to an upper estimate of approximately 375,700 total units. The RVIA is expected to release further revisions to their forecasts for calendar years 2023 and 2024 in early December 2023, which will take into consideration current economic conditions and recent wholesale retail shipment data.

North American Industry Retail Statistics

We believe that retail demand is the key to the North American RV industry.

Key retail statistics for the North American RV industry, as reported by Stat Surveys for the periods indicated, are as follows:

Note: Data reported by Stat Surveys is based on official state and provincial records. This information is subject to adjustment, is continuously updated and is often impacted by delays in reporting by various states or provinces.

We believe that near-term wholesale demand from our independent dealers will be impacted by anticipated and actual retail demand, unit costs, interest rates and dealers’ desired inventory stocking levels, among other factors, and that near-term North American retail consumer interest has grown in recent years due to an increasing interest in the RV lifestyle and the ability to connect with nature, and further accelerated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in calendar 2021, which resulted in record retail sales during that period. While we anticipate that near-term demand will also be influenced by a number ofmany factors, including consumer confidence and the level of consumer spending on discretionary products, interest rates and the rate of inflation. Wewe believe future retail demand over the longer term will exceed historical, pre-pandemic levels as consumers continue to value the perceived benefits offered by the RV lifestyle, which provides people with a personal space to maintain social distance in a safe manner, the ability to connect with loved ones and the potential to get away for short, frequent breaks or longer adventures. We believe that North American retail consumer demand had started to grow even before the COVID-19 pandemic due to an increasing interest in the RV lifestyle and the ability to connect with nature, and then accelerated with the onset of the pandemic, particularly in calendar 2021 and the first half of calendar 2022, which resulted in record retail sales during these periods. We believe the additional exposure to the RV lifestyle during this time will bring new and repeat retail buyers to the market over the longer term. We are also encouraged about the long-term demand given the continued robust web traffic to our websites and independent dealer websites, which in the past has been a positive indicator of future demand for our products.

North American Outlook

Historically, RV industry sales have been impacted by a number of economic conditions faced by our independent dealers, and ultimately retail consumers, such as the rate of unemployment, the rate of inflation, the level of consumer confidence, the disposable income of consumers, interest rates, credit availability, the health of the housing market, tax rates and fuel availability and prices. We believe these factors will continue to affect retail sales in fiscal 2023.2024. In addition, due to inflationary pressures, higher interest rates and other factors, we believe that in fiscal 20232024 our independent dealers will be continuously reevaluating their desired stocking levels, which may result in lower than historical dealer inventory stocking levels on a unit basis. It is difficult to predict the extent to which any or all of these factors will impact the RV industry or our business in a particular future period, however, we currently believe the remaining quarter of fiscal 2023 and the early portion of fiscal 2024 will continue to be negatively impacted by these factors, especially when compared to our strongstronger early fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 results. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant surge in demand for RVs beginning in earnest in fiscal 2021, which, when combined with the supply chain challenges resulting from the pandemic’s disruption of the North American economy, caused a significant increase in our revenues and backlog in calendar 2021. The first half of calendar 2022 saw continued robust wholesale demand as dealers restocked their inventories, in particular with towable products, and we were able to reduce our backlog as we filled outstanding orders. We believe the impact of the factors identified above contributed to the reduced consumer demand in calendar 2022 and calendar 2023, as reflected in the reduced new RV registrations, compared to the record RV registrations in calendar 2021.





30



Despite the near-term challenges, we remain optimistic about future growth in North American retail sales in the long term, as there are many factors driving product demand.interest. Surveys conducted by THOR, RVIA and others show that Americans of all generations love the freedom of the outdoors and the enrichment that comes with living an active lifestyle. RVs allow people to be in control of their travel experiences, going where they want, when they want and with the people they want. The RV units we design, produce and sell allow people to spend time outdoors pursuing their favorite activities, creating cherished moments and deeply connecting with family and friends. Based on the increasing valueimportance consumers place on these factors, we expect to see long-term growth in the North American RV industry. The recent multi-year growth in industry-wide RV sales has also resulted in exposing a much wider range of consumers to the RV lifestyle. We believe many of those who have been recently exposed to the industry for the first time will become future owners, and that those who became first-time owners since the onset of theCOVID-19 pandemic will become long-term RVers, resulting in future repeat and upgrade sales opportunities. We also believe consumers are likely to continue altering their future vacation and travel plans, opting for fewer vacations via air travel, cruise ships and hotels, and preferring vacations that RVs are uniquely positioned to provide, allowing consumers the ability to explore or unwind, often close to home. In addition, we believe that the availability of camping and RV parking facilities will be an important factor in the future growth of the industry and view both the significant recent investments and the future committed investments by campground owners, states and the federal government in camping facilities and accessibility to state and federal parks and forests to be positive long-term factors.

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

While we have recently seen improvement in the supply of chassis infrom North America recentlyAmerican suppliers from some, but not all, chassis suppliers, we do not believe the chassis supply chain is fully back to pre-pandemic normalcy.levels. It is currently extremely difficult to predict when or whether future supply chain issues related to chassis will arise. Modifying available chassis for certain motorized products to use for other products is not a viable alternative, particularly in the short term, due to engineering requirements. These factors may continue to negatively impact our production schedule and cost structure as we try to balance our production and personnel staffing levels and schedules to the available chassis, often with short notice. The North American recreational vehicle industry has, from time to time in the past, experienced shortages of chassis for various reasons, including component shortages, production delays or other production issues and work stoppages at the chassis manufacturers.

While the North American RV industry has at times faced supply shortages or delivery delays of other, non-chassis, raw material components, our supply chain has been resilient enough to support our fiscal 2023recent demand. If shortages of chassis or other component parts were to become more significant, or if other factors were to impact our suppliers' ability to fully supply our needs for key components, our costs of such components and our production output could be adversely affected. Where possible, we continue to work closely with our suppliers on various supply chain strategies to minimize any constraints, and we will continue to identify alternative suppliers where possible.

Industry Outlook — Europe

The Company monitors industry conditions in the European RV market using a number of resources including its own performance tracking and modeling. The Company also considers retail trends in the European RV market as reported by the ECF, whose industry data is reported to the public quarterlyEuropean Caravan Federation (“ECF”) and typically issued on a one-to-two-month lag.

Within Europe, over 90% of our sales are made to dealers within 10 different European countries. The market conditions, as well as the operating status of our independent dealers within each country, vary based on the various local economic and other conditions. It is inherently difficult to generalize about the operating conditions within the entire European region. However, independent RV dealer inventory levels of our European products are generally below historic levels in the various countries we serve. Within Germany, which accounts for approximately 60% of our European product sales, independent dealer inventory levels are currentlygenerally in line with or slightly below historical norms.

Independent dealer inventory of our European RV products as of October 31, 2023 was approximately 21,900 units. Comparable independent dealer inventory unit information was not available as of October 31, 2022. During fiscal 2023 European dealer inventory levels have grown from a period of low levels. Caravan and urban vehicle product lines are no longer considered below target stocking levels, but motorcaravans are still slightly below normal.

European Outlook

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

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

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we and our independent European dealers marketed our European recreational vehicles through numerous RV fairs at the country and regional levels which occurred throughout the calendar year. These fairs have historically been well-attended events that allowed retail consumers the ability to see the newest products, features and designs and to talk with product experts in addition to being able to purchase or order an RV. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the protection of the health of our employees, customers and dealers has been our top priority. As a result, we canceledcancelled our participation in most European trade fairs and major events in calendar 2021 and had limited participation in early calendar 2022. We did, however, attend the Caravan Salon show in Dusseldorf in late August/early September 2022 and the CMT Stuttgart show in January 2023. We are also participatingparticipated in other major fiscal 2023 retail shows. The 2022most recent 2023 Caravan Salon show in late August 2023 experienced near record attendance, demonstrating the high level of interest in the RV lifestyle despite the current macroeconomic uncertainties facing many consumers. In addition to our attendance at various strategic trade fairs going forward, we have and will continue to strengthen and expand our digital activities in order to reach high potential target groups, generate leads and steer customers directly to dealerships. With approximately 1,100 active independent dealers in Germany and throughout Europe with whom we do business, we believe our European brands have one of the strongest and most professionally structured dealer and service networks in Europe.

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

We continue to receive communications from our European chassis suppliers that due to a number of factors, including (1) supply constraints of key components that they require for the manufacturing of chassis, such as semiconductor chips and engines, (2) demand outpacing their current production capacity (3) operational issues at certain OEMs, and (4)(3) personnel shortages, their production and delivery of chassis in the quantity and sequence of our needs will continue tocould be negatively impact us.impacted. Throughout fiscal 2022 and continuing into the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we experienced delays in the receipt of, and significant reductions in the volume of, chassis from our European chassis suppliers, limiting our ability to further increase production of our motorized products. We expect these ongoing challenges to continuepersist through calendar year 2023 and into early calendar year 2024 and, in particular, anticipate both continued delays in the receipt of chassis in Europe and disruptions in the sequence of delivery of chassis. As a result, theseThese chassis supply factors will inhibit our ability to consistently maintain our planned production levels and will limit our ability to ramp up production and sales of certain products despite dealer demand for those products. Uncertainties related to changing emission standards may also impact the future availability of chassis used in our production of certain European motorized RVs and could also impact consumer buying patterns.

In Europe, we also continue to experience cost increases, supply shortages and delivery delays of other, non-chassis, raw material components which negatively impacted our ability to further ramp up production and sales in the current fiscal year,2023, and which resulted in the continuation of an elevated level of work in processwork-in-process inventory on hand. We believe these shortages and delays will continue to result in production delays or adjusted production rates in the near term, which will limit our ability to ramp upmaintain consistent, planned production and sales to meet existing demandlevels and will have a negative impact on our European operating results, as we balance our labor and overhead costs to rapidly changing production schedules.

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

In addition to material supply constraints, labor shortages may also impact our European operations. Currently, we are experiencing a shortage of available skilled workers due to near full employment rates in the European countries where we have manufacturing sites.

CONSOLIDATED

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended April 30,October 31, 2023 decreased $1,728,697,$607,325, or 37.1%19.5%, compared to the three months ended April 30,October 31, 2022. The decrease in consolidated net sales is primarily due to lower dealer and consumer demand in comparison to the prior-year period, primarily in the North American Towables segment. Approximately 29.6%28.3% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the quarter ended April 30,October 31, 2023 were transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company’s most material exchange rate exposure is sales in Euros. The $607,325, or 19.5%, decrease in consolidated net sales, includes a decrease of $19,794 from the change in currency exchange rates between the two periods. To determine this impact, net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates that were in effect during the comparative period.

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2023 decreased $374,808, or 46.4%, compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022. Consolidated gross profit was 14.8% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 17.3% for the three months ended April 30, 2022. The decreases in consolidated gross profit and the consolidated gross profit percentage were both primarily due to the impact of the decrease in consolidated net sales in the current-year period compared to the prior-year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2023 decreased $71,632, or 25.4%, compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022, primarily due to the 37.1% decrease in consolidated net sales.

The decrease of $306,956, or 66.4%, in income before income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022 was primarily driven by the decrease in consolidated net sales and the decrease in the consolidated gross profit percentage noted above.

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2023 was 23.0% compared with 25.2% for the three months ended April 30, 2022. The primary reason for the decrease in the overall effective income tax rate was certain unfavorable tax provision adjustments that primarily resulted from changes in estimates while completing the prior-year tax return that were made during the three months ended April 30, 2022.

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

The $4,866 increase in Corporate costs included in consolidated selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022 primarily relates to an increase in deferred compensation expense of $8,810 due to market value fluctuations between the two periods, partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation of $1,970 due to the decrease in income before income taxes compared to the prior-year period, and costs recorded at Corporate related to our standby repurchase obligations decreased by $1,900 due to a decrease in dealer inventory levels in the current-year period as compared to a large increase in dealer inventory levels in the prior-year period.

The $6,771 increase in net expense in Corporate interest and other income and expense for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022 includes an increase in net interest expense and fees of $3,382 on our debt primarily due to higher interest rates compared to the prior-year period, and a nominal non-cash foreign currency gain on certain Euro-denominated loans in the current-year period as compared to a $6,770 gain in the prior-year period. In addition, the current-year period included operating losses of $4,688 related to our Roadpass Digital joint venture as discussed in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These increases were partially offset by a favorable change of $8,642 in the fair value of the Company's deferred compensation plan assets due to market fluctuations between the two periods.

The decrease in total North American towables net sales of 57.4% compared to the prior-year quarter resulted from a 57.3% decrease in unit shipments and a 0.1% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in price and product mix, which included selling price increases since the prior year being offset by increased sales discounts. The decrease in unit shipments is primarily due to a softening in current dealer and consumer demand in comparison with the unusually strong third-quarter demand in the prior-year quarter, which included independent dealers restocking their towable lot inventory levels. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the three months ended April 30, 2023, combined North American travel trailer and fifth wheel wholesale unit shipments decreased 53.1% compared to the same period last year. According to the most recently published statistics from Stat Surveys, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our North American market share for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined was 42.2% and 40.7%, respectively. Comparisons of Company shipments to industry shipments on a quarterly basis would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year.

The modest increase in the overall net price per unit within the travel trailer product line of 1.1% is primarily due to the favorable impacts of selling price increases and product mix changes compared to the prior-year period being mostly offset by increased sales discounts. The decrease in the overall net price per unit within the fifth wheel product line of 8.5% was primarily due to the impact of higher sales discounting levels.

North American towables cost of products sold decreased $1,205,808 to $980,422, or 87.2% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to $2,186,230, or 82.8% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2022. The changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $1,166,857 of the $1,205,808 decrease in cost of products sold. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American towables net sales increased to 79.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to 78.2% for the three months ended April 30, 2022, primarily as a result of increases in the warranty and direct labor percentages compared to the prior-year period, partially offset by a decrease in the material cost percentage due to the combined favorable impacts of product mix changes, net selling price increases and cost saving initiatives exceeding the impact of increased sales discounts. Total manufacturing overhead decreased $38,951 in correlation with the decrease in sales, but increased as a percentage of North American towables net sales from 4.6% to 7.4% as the significantly decreased net sales levels resulted in higher overhead costs per unit sold.

The decrease in North American towables gross profit of $309,919 for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022 was driven primarily by the decrease in net sales and the decrease in the gross profit percentage is due to the increase in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The decrease in North American towables selling, general and administrative expenses of $58,733 for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022 is primarily due to the decrease in North American towables net sales and income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, incentive and other compensation to decrease by $61,045. The increase in the overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of North American towable net sales is primarily due to the decrease in net sales.

The decrease in North American towables income before income taxes of $77,583, or 6.9% of North American towables net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to income before income taxes of $326,697, or 12.4% of North American towables net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to the decrease in North American towables net sales, and the primary reasons for the decrease in percentage were the increases in both the cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expense percentages noted above.

The decrease in total North American motorized net sales of 24.4% compared to the prior-year quarter resulted from a 21.2% decrease in unit shipments and a 3.2% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in product price and mix. The 3.2% decrease in the overall net price per unit, in spite of the increase in net price per unit within each product category, is due to the higher combined concentration of the more moderately priced Class B and Class C units in the current-year period compared to the more expensive Class A units. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the three months ended April 30, 2023, combined North American motorhome wholesale unit shipments decreased 15.6% compared to the same period last year. According to the most recently published statistics from Stat Surveys, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our North American market share for motorhomes was 47.7% and 50.6%, respectively. Comparisons of Company shipments to industry shipments on a quarterly basis would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year.

The increases in the overall net price per unit within the Class A product line of 1.3% and the Class C product line of 2.7% were primarily due to net selling price increases since the prior-year period to offset higher material and other input costs, partially offset by increased discounting. The increase in the overall net price per unit within the Class B product line of 5.5% is primarily due to net selling price increases since the prior-year period and a higher concentration of sales of higher-priced Class B products in the current-year period.

North American motorized cost of products sold decreased $176,508 to $702,633, or 88.3% of North American motorized net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to $879,141, or 83.5% of North American motorized net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2022. The changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $171,316 of the $176,508 decrease primarily due to the decreased net sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American motorized net sales increased to 82.5% for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to 78.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2022, with the increase due to an increase in the material cost percentage, primarily due to higher sales discounts, and an increase in the warranty cost percentage. Total manufacturing overhead decreased $5,192 in correlation with the net sales decrease, but increased as a percentage of North American motorized net sales from 4.9% to 5.8% as the decrease in net sales levels resulted in higher overhead costs per unit sold.

The decrease in North American motorized gross profit of $80,597 for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022 was driven by the decrease in net sales, and the decrease in the gross profit percentage is due to the increase in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The decrease in North American motorized selling, general and administrative expenses of $12,920 for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022 was primarily due to the decrease in North American motorized net sales and income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, incentive and other compensation to decrease by $15,275. The increase in the overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of North American motorized net sales is primarily due to the decrease in net sales.

The decrease in North American motorized income before income taxes of $68,107 for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022 was primarily due to the decrease in North American motorized net sales, and the primary reasons for the decrease in percentage were the increases in both the cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expense percentages noted above.

The increase in total European recreational vehicle net sales of 19.7% compared to the prior-year quarter resulted from a 2.5% decrease in unit shipments and a 22.2% increase in the overall net price per unit due to the total combined impact of changes in foreign currency, product mix and price. The increase in European recreational vehicle net sales of $142,749 includes a decrease of $19,794, or 2.7%, due to the decrease in foreign exchange rates since the prior-year period.

The overall net price per unit increase of 22.2% includes a 2.7% decrease due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and a 24.9% increase due to the combined impact of product mix and selling price increases to offset increased material and other input costs.

The constant-currency increases in the overall net price per unit within the Motorcaravan product line of 20.0% and within the Caravan product line of 20.6% were primarily due to the impact of selling price increases and product mix changes. The Campervan product line constant-currency increase of 54.3% includes the impact of selling price increases and product mix changes, in addition to the current-year period including a much higher concentration of Campervan units with a purchased chassis that is included in the sales price as opposed to units with a customer-supplied chassis that is not included in the sales price.

Cash and cash equivalents held internationally may be subject to foreign withholding taxes if repatriated to the U.S.United States. The components of this $41,673 increasethe $15,404 decrease in cash and cash equivalents are described in more detail below.below, but the decrease was primarily attributable to cash provided by operations of $59,668 less cash used in financing activities of $19,153 and cash used in investing activities of $51,062.

Net working capital at April 30,October 31, 2023 was $1,364,233$1,088,731 compared to $1,306,563$1,077,098 at July 31, 2022.2023.

We strive to maintain adequate cash balances to ensure we have sufficient resources to respond to opportunities and changing business conditions. In addition, the unused availability under our revolving asset-based credit facility is generally available to the Company for general operating purposes, and approximated $950,000$998,000 at April 30,October 31, 2023.

The Company’s Board currently intends to continue regular quarterly cash dividend payments in the future. As is customary under credit facilities, certain actions, including our ability to pay dividends, are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions prior to payment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

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

The Company also holds $557,228$533,397 of debt denominated in Euros at April 30,October 31, 2023. A hypothetical 10% change in the Euro/U.S. Dollardollar exchange rate would change our April 30,October 31, 2023 debt balance by approximately $55,723.$53,340.

INTEREST RATE RISK – The Company uses pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portionBased on our assumption of the Company’s long-term debt from floating to fixed-rate debt. As of April 30, 2023, the Company has $110,175 as notional amounts hedged in relation to the floating-to-fixed interest rate swap. The notional amounts hedged will decrease on a quarterly basis to zero by August 1, 2023.

Based on our interest rate exposure at April 30, 2023, assumed floating-rate debt levels throughoutover the next 12 months, and the effects of our existing derivative instruments, a one-percentage-point increase in interest rates (approximately 13.6%13.0% of our weighted-average interest rate at April 30,October 31, 2023) would result in an estimated $11,017 pre-tax$7,448 reduction in net earningsincome before income taxes over a one-year period.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

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

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Although risks specific to the supply chain disruptions are ongoing, and macroeconomic issues like general inflation, as well as certain geopolitical events, including military conflicts, remain, at this point there have been no material changes in those risks or any others from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022.2023.
