Q&A MARKET UPDATE & OUTLOOK

3. How would you describe the European retail environment through the first six months of your fiscal year? Does it still face headwinds heading into the second half of THOR’s fiscal 2026? a. The European market is still on track for a relatively flat retail environment when compared to fiscal 2025 as various macroeconomic headwinds persist. Principally, overall living costs in Europe are a driving factor that is suppressing meaningful retail growth. According to the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”), total retail registrations in Europe for calendar year 2025 decreased 2.5% in comparison with the prior year. This change was driven by a 10.9% decrease in registrations of caravans, offset by a a 0.6% increase in registrations of motorcaravans and campervans during the period. Consumer preferences continue to shift away from caravan products, with attractively priced campervan units exacerbating this in the near term. Given our strong presence within the motorcaravan and campervan product segment, we expect to be able to continue to adapt our production and product offerings in alignment with this consumer shift. While retail registrations modestly declined in calendar year 2025, interest in the RV lifestyle has not waned in Europe. At the recent Caravan–Motor–Touristik (“CMT”) trade show in Stuttgart, Germany in January, attendance was up approximately 3% compared to CMT 2025, with sales at the show by our brands also up by approximately 3%. Sustained enthusiasm for the RV lifestyle supports our belief that as price-aggressive offerings continue to clear through the channel, there will be further opportunity to grow our market share by replacing lot space with our recently introduced or redesigned in-demand product offerings. 4. What is your assessment of the state of the North American consumer? a. While our fiscal year started with lower consumer confidence, there currently are mixed signals in the economy as to the health and trajectory of the North American consumer. The February consumer confidence index came in ahead of expectations, and the recently enacted tax reform has yielded higher refunds so far this tax season, with early analysis indicating refunds are up approximately 10% as a percentage of last year’s refund. Additionally, inflation had begun to show signs of subsiding, which may have given the Federal Reserve room to enact rate cuts in calendar year 2026. Higher tax refunds, easing inflationary pressures and reduced interest rates are generally all positive factors for consumers, and within our industry in particular, due to the importance of discretionary spending and relief regarding the cost of ownership. Unfortunately, recent events have muddied the consumer outlook and added additional uncertainties for consumers. The imposition of new tariff levels after the recent Supreme Court decision has led to ongoing volatility in tariff impacts, while the latest Producer Price Index has revived concerns about inflation, casting doubt on both the size and timing of any upcoming interest rate reductions. Further, recent events in the Middle East add to the macroeconomic headwinds, with headlines potentially weighing on consumer sentiment. As we enter the spring selling season, the development of these macroeconomic forces will be evident on our financial results. Our focus is on managing enterprise risk and executing against our internal plans in order to deliver strong results relative to given market conditions. Our strategic initiatives have successfully positioned us to react to the market and ramp up production if consumer tailwinds prevail over the balance of this fiscal year.

OPERATIONS UPDATE
Strategic sourcing coordination and supplier alignment, supporting long-term cost discipline and supply continuity; Operational standardization and process improvement, improving efficiency, quality and consistency across brands; Brand and portfolio alignment, enabling more focused capital allocation and product investment; and Enterprise-wide data, systems and digital integration, strengthening analytics, forecasting, customer engagement capabilities and enabling a unified dealer portal experience across the THOR family of companies.
As the full implementation of this operating model will unfold over time, the savings generated and synergies gained will not be immediate. Initial efforts will focus on structural alignment and governance clarity, followed by operational benefits as coordination matures. Importantly, we are focused on sustainable improvement–not headlines of quantified synergetic savings. As measurable results emerge, we will evaluate the appropriateness of providing additional specificity. The successful integration of Heartland under Jayco’s leadership has provided us with a test case for the evolution of our North American RV operating companies, and the talented teams that we have assembled are ready to execute the furtherance of this evolution at scale.

2. What actions are you taking in your European segment in response to persistent headwinds in the European RV market? a. The European market has remained challenged in recent quarters and our European segment is not immune to its effects. Alongside pressured margins, the European segment has contended with a retail sales decline of 2.5% across calendar year 2025 compared to calendar year 2024, leading to measured production levels at our European sites as dealer restocking and channel pull-through decelerated. In response, our management teams have and continue to implement multiple restructuring initiatives to rationalize our production capacities. These initiatives have been focused on right-sizing both our workforce and our footprint, while also rationalizing production to more efficient sites with existing capacities. Additionally, our sales teams have worked hard to address the softness in the mainstream product segment, most notably with model refreshes at EHG that have included a period of lower-margin product offerings prior to the release of the refreshed products. While the restructuring costs and lower-margin product offerings have weighed on the gross margin and bottom-line performance of the European segment in recent periods, we believe the segment is positioning itself well to operate efficiently going forward while being flexible enough to capitalize on a market rebound. As needed, we will continue to identify restructuring opportunities that align our operations with the market realities in Europe. While current European market trends greatly impact sales volumes and apply pressure to our margins, we are intent on controlling what we can control by seeking out and implementing production strategies that further improve our margin profile to achieve enhanced bottom-line results in the face of market headwinds. 3. How is your owned-supplier strategy progressing, and how does the recent acquisition of Synergy Designs fit within this strategy? a. Through our acquisitions of supply companies, we set out to diversify our revenue streams, stabilize a portion of our supplier base and create advantageous cooperation among multiple levels of the value chain. Postle has provided us a stable and dependable aluminum supplier amidst a volatile commodities market while simultaneously providing robust and diversified profitability. Airxcel has given us a foothold in the supply of component and aftermarket parts that has allowed for robust growth and expansion through contract wins and product introductions that have given the entire RV industry a trusted partner in the supply space. The success of both Postle and Airxcel and the resulting market wins have necessitated expansion, allowing us to strategically repurpose existing THOR properties for supply company use while simultaneously rightsizing our RV production footprint. Due to our strong innovation pipeline, we believe there are extensive growth opportunities in front of our supply companies as they continue to provide attractive alternatives within the supply chain. These entities have been, and continue to be, additive to our top and bottom lines with growth coming both organically and through acquisitions. THOR recently acquired Synergy Designs, a soft-goods manufacturer that is operating under Airxcel’s management. Synergy Designs will enhance our product portfolio and is a key acquisition for our expanding furniture business. We are confident in its ability to win additional contracts as we invest in their production capabilities and capacities. Our supply company management teams have been successful in the past with acquisition integration, and we are confident in their ability to do so again with Synergy Designs and as we identify additional strategic fits and growth opportunities that further expand our supply content share within the RV industry.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

3.
THOR’s Motorized segment continues to produce strong quarterly performances. What are the key drivers? a. Net sales for our North American Motorized segment during the three months ended January 31, 2026 increased 29.3% compared to the prior-year period after experiencing a similar year-over-year top-line increase in our fiscal 2026 first quarter. The fiscal 2026 second quarter net sales increase was driven by a 28.3% increase in unit shipments led by our Class B and Class C product lines, which saw year-over-year improvements in unit shipments of 20.8% and 44.3%, respectively. This increase in shipment volume for the segment was further influenced by a 1.0% increase in the overall net price per unit, primarily resulting from a shift in product mix weighing more heavily towards Class C units than our more moderately-priced Class B units, as well as a shift within the Class A segment towards our higher-priced diesel units. The volume increase in our fiscal 2026 second quarter was also aided by deliveries to satisfy bulk orders for our rental fleet customers. Additionally, our strong motorized volumes continue to benefit from our teams leveraging the tools we have made available to them through our data strategy that have targeted critical price points that are resonating with consumers. The success of identifying these critical price points is evident in the fact that we have grown our Class C market share by 120 basis points during the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior-year period. The North American Motorized gross profit margin percentage increased to 9.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from 7.8% in the prior-year period. The 170 basis point increase was largely a function of volume leverage and improved labor costs. We believe that the success of our Class B and Class C offerings provide continued upside relative to what is embedded in our plan because of the volume leverage that they can provide to our margins throughout the upcoming selling season.

The financial performance of THOR’s European segment in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 trended similarly with the results of the fiscal 2026 first quarter, as the gross profit margin percentage declined 220 basis points compared to the prior-year period despite net sales increasing 11.8%. What are the key inputs driving the lowered profitability against a backdrop of higher sales, and will this persist into the second half of THOR’s fiscal 2026? How is THOR addressing these challenges? a. While the story for the financial performance of our European segment generally has not changed in recent periods, we remain active in pursuing additional key initiatives on a broader scale to address market headwinds and strengthen the segment in the long term. First, it is important to note that on a constantcurrency basis, fiscal 2026 second quarter sales are approximately flat compared to the prior-year period. The margin pressure that our European segment is experiencing partially stems from key competitors continuing to accelerate discount offers, in part as a response to elevated channel levels that they established in previous periods. Additionally, a few RV rental companies have been forced to liquidate their fleets due to financial instability, adding to the supply of aggressively-priced units. In response to these pressures, management has implemented control measures surrounding promotional activity to protect margin levels, leading to a lower discount percentage in our fiscal 2026 second quarter compared to the prior-year period. Warranty costs have also been slightly elevated in recent periods, and our management teams have swiftly moved to address these elevated levels and implement processes to return these costs to baseline. Further, we are continuously working to enhance our margin profile, and our purchasing teams have worked hard to improve buying conditions in cooperation with our supply chain. In addition to management initiatives to curb promotional activity, address elevated warranty costs and improve buying conditions, we also believe that the European segment will experience margin relief in our fiscal 2026 second half as compared to the first half with the transition from lower-margin special-edition units to refreshed product that is planned to enter the market early in our fiscal 2026 third quarter. Along with the margin pressures, bottom-line profitability for the European segment was also impacted by restructuring costs. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the European segment incurred $5.1 million in employee separation costs related to strategic plant reorganization initiatives. These initiatives will allow us to further address the long-lasting pressures experienced by some of our European brands and improve our cost structure going forward.

5. What factors influenced your decision not to raise your fiscal 2026 full-year guidance despite a strong fiscal first half of earnings generation? a. Our fiscal 2026 second quarter performance continued the momentum generated by our fiscal first quarter. Robust top and bottom-line results in our North American Motorized segment coupled with gains associated with asset sales contributed to our strong earnings generation. This performance gave us additional clarity into our anticipated trajectory for the remainder of our fiscal year. However, recent geopolitical events have made projecting our fiscal second half trajectory far less certain due potential impacts on consumer sentiment and inflation, among other potential impacts. The decision to not raise guidance reflects a mindfulness that macroeconomic uncertainties have increased more quickly than they are resolving. The positive trends that we had begun to see with inflation, tariff policies, and consumer sentiment now have less certain trajectories due to recently released economic metrics and the uncertain influence that the conflict in the Middle East could have on drivers of RV retail demand. We believe it is prudent to allow for additional time and financial results before making any updates to our full-year guidance. Our maintained guidance does not assume a meaningful incremental financial contribution from the Heartland realignment, the Keystone refresh, restructuring initiatives or the strategic evolution of our North American RV operations in fiscal 2026. Those efforts are strategic and positioned to support future market share recovery and margin improvement rather than near-term guidance. We believe our steady, measured approach to guidance has proven appropriate historically, particularly in a market that remains very dynamic. As we move through the remainder of the fiscal year, we will continue to evaluate incoming data and macroeconomic influences and adjust accordingly. Our objective is to provide a balanced outlook that acknowledges potential headwinds and reflects current demand conditions while positioning the Company for durable performance across cycles. For fiscal 2026, the Company’s full-year guidance includes: • • •
Consolidated net sales in the range of $9.0 billion to $9.5 billion Stable gross margin at midpoint, with upside in a stronger market Diluted earnings per share in the range of $3.75 to $4.25

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP performance measures included to illustrate and improve comparability of the Company's results from period to period, particularly in periods with unusual or one-time items. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before net interest expense (income), income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to EBITDA to identify items that, in management’s judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods. The Company considers these non-GAAP measures in evaluating and managing the Company's operations and believes that discussion of results adjusted for these items is meaningful to investors because it provides a useful analysis of ongoing underlying operating trends. The adjusted measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
