CEO Commentary
“While outdoor industry market conditions remain challenged given inconsistent retail patterns and sustained dealer discipline relative to field inventory levels, we are generally pleased with the resiliency of our portfolio, as our teams balance the pursuit of long-term share, profitability and customer satisfaction across our premium brands,” said Michael Happe, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Driven by our Towable RV and Marine segments, we delivered sequential consolidated margin growth in the third quarter. Notwithstanding difficult retail headwinds in the Motorhome segment, our Towable RV business generated higher revenue versus the same period a year ago and our Barletta pontoon retail share grew to double digits for the trailing three- and six-month periods through April. We are also pleased to have returned more than $29 million to investors this quarter through share repurchases and dividends, while maintaining investments in future growth initiatives and managing a healthy balance sheet.”

“The combination of affordability and innovation remains a focal point of product development at Winnebago Industries – valued differentiation on respected brands our consumers can trust,” Happe said. “Recent introductions of economical travel trailers from our Grand Design and Winnebago brands, plus continued market penetration with the opening price Aria line within our Barletta business are evidence of this focus. We are also particularly excited about the upcoming market release in our fourth quarter of the Grand Design Lineage motorhome product as well as the Winnebago Connect intelligent control system being introduced on the Winnebago Navion line. Both strategies open new growth opportunities for our organization.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
Revenues were $786.0 million, a decrease of 12.7% compared to $900.8 million in the third quarter of last year, driven by product mix and lower volume related to market conditions.

Gross profit was $118.2 million, a decrease of 22.0% compared to $151.4 million in the third quarter of last year. Gross profit margin decreased 180 basis points in the quarter to 15.0% as a result of deleverage, operational efficiency challenges, and higher warranty expense due to a favorable prior year trend, partially offset by cost containment efforts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $69.1 million, an increase of 3.7% compared to $66.5 million in the third quarter of last year, driven by strategic investments in engineering, digital asset development and increased data and information technology capabilities.

Operating income was $43.5 million, a decrease of 46.0% compared to $80.5 million in the third quarter of last year.

Net income was $29.0 million, compared to net income of $59.1 million in the third quarter of last year. Reported earnings per diluted share was $0.96, compared to reported earnings per diluted share of $1.71 in the same period last year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $1.13, a decrease of 46.9% compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.13 in the third quarter of last year.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $58.0 million, a decrease of 39.8%, compared to $96.4 million last year.

“We have made strong progress during the fiscal year to reduce aging RV field inventory in a fiscally responsible manner; our teams continue to work closely with our dealer partners to monitor the complexion of their inventory and match production and shipments with retail demand,” Happe said. “This discipline extends to our Marine segment as well, where we have particularly emphasized dealer inventory health and aggressively positioned ourselves well for the upcoming model year 2025 rollout. Overall, while the challenges of today require constant diligence to navigate, our Company and brands are stronger than ever before and with ongoing investments in product, people, systems, and capabilities like digital connectivity we are well situated to grow profitably as the cycle turns more positive in the future.”

(1)Amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers and therefore may not recalculate using the rounded numbers provided.
(2)Our backlog includes all accepted orders from dealers, which generally have been requested to be shipped within the next six months. Orders in backlog generally can be cancelled or postponed at the option of the dealer at any time without penalty; therefore, backlog may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales.
(3)Due to the nature of the Marine industry, this amount includes a higher proportion of retail sold units than our other segments.

Non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have been provided as comparable measures to illustrate the effect of non-recurring transactions occurring during the reported periods and to improve comparability of our results from period to period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as diluted earnings per share adjusted for after-tax items that impact the comparability of our results from period to period. 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. Management believes Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because these measures exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as assess 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 assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for the Company; (d) to evaluate potential acquisitions; and (e) to ensure compliance with restricted activities under the terms of our asset-backed revolving credit facility and outstanding notes. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
