Recreational Vehicles
Overview
We manufacture a wide variety of recreational vehicles in the United States and Europe and sell those vehicles, as well as related parts and accessories, primarily to independent, non-franchise dealers throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. North American recreational vehicle classifications are based upon standards established by the RV Industry Association (“RVIA”). The principal types of recreational vehicles that we produce in North America include conventional travel trailers and fifth wheels as well as Class A, Class C and Class B motorhomes. In Europe, we produce numerous types of motorized and towable recreational vehicles, including motorcaravans, campervans, urban vehicles, caravans and other RV-related products and services.

North American Recreational Vehicles
Travel trailers are non-motorized vehicles which are designed to be towed by passenger automobiles, pickup trucks, SUVs or vans. Travel trailers provide comfortable, self-contained living facilities for camping, vacationing and multiple other purposes. Within North America we produce “conventional” and “fifth wheel” trailers. Conventional trailers are towed by means of a frame hitch attached to the towing vehicle. Fifth wheel trailers, designed to be towed by pickup trucks, are constructed with a raised forward section that is attached to a receiver in the bed area of the pickup truck.
A motorhome is a self-powered vehicle built on a motor vehicle chassis. Motorhomes are self-contained with their own lighting, heating, cooking, refrigeration, sewage holding and water storage facilities, so that they can be utilized without being attached to utilities.
Within North America, Class A motorhomes, generally constructed on medium-duty truck chassis, are supplied complete with engine and drivetrain components by motor vehicle manufacturers such as Ford, Freightliner and The Shyft Group. We design, manufacture and install the living area and driver’s compartment of Class A motorhomes. Class C and Class B motorhomes are generally built on a Ford, General Motors or Mercedes-Benz small truck or van chassis, which includes an engine, drivetrain components and a finished cab section. We construct a living area which has access to the driver’s compartment and attaches to the cab section. Although they are not designed for permanent or semi-permanent living, motorhomes can provide comfortable living facilities for camping, vacationing and multiple other purposes.
European Recreational Vehicles
In Europe, a caravan is a travel trailer which is a non-motorized vehicle designed to be towed by passenger automobiles, SUVs or vans. Caravans provide comfortable, self-contained living facilities for camping, vacationing and multiple other purposes. In Europe, the focus is on lighter and smaller caravans that can even be towed by small passenger cars.
Motorcaravans are similar to the Class A and Class C motorized products in the North American market. Motorcaravans include various types such as integrated, semi-integrated and alcove, and are generally constructed on light-duty truck chassis, supplied complete with engine and drivetrain components by chassis manufacturers such as Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz and Ford. The main difference between European motorcaravans as compared to RVs in the North American market is that the focus in Europe is on lighter and smaller vehicles due to weight restrictions and driving license requirements.
An integrated motorcaravan contains driving and passenger space that is completely integrated into the vehicle, along with the living area, which creates a great feeling of openness. The driver/passenger and living areas are made of one compartment and form a single unit.
A semi-integrated motorcaravan is one in which the cab (driver/passenger compartment) belongs to the chassis. This means that the existing driver/passenger area is complemented by an attached living area. As a result, the advantages of the basic vehicle are enhanced by mobile living.
An alcove motorcaravan is one where there is an additional sleeping space located above the driver’s cab. This superstructure is called an “alcove,” and it comprises sleeping accommodations for two people. Behind the driver’s cab is an additional bedroom and a living space with basic equipment.
A campervan is comparable to the Class B motorhome in the North American market. They are generally built on a Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz or Ford panel van chassis which includes an engine, drivetrain components and a finished cab section. A constructed living area provides access to the driver’s compartment and attaches to the cab section. As they are smaller and more compact than typical motorcaravans, a campervan has the advantage of being easier to maneuver and easier to park.
An urban vehicle is a multi-functional vehicle, similar to a minivan, which is generally built on a Stellantis or Ford chassis and is mainly used as a family vehicle but has a small removable kitchen and sitting area that can be converted into a sleeping area. Additionally, these vehicles are equipped with a pop-up roof to provide additional sleeping quarters.

Production
In order to minimize finished inventory, our recreational vehicles in both North America and Europe are generally produced to dealer order. Our facilities are designed to provide efficient, assembly-line manufacturing of products. In North America, capacity increases can generally be achieved relatively quickly and at relatively low cost, largely by acquiring, leasing or building additional facilities and equipment and increasing the number of production employees. In Europe, that process is typically longer and involves higher costs. In North America, capacity decreases can generally be achieved relatively quickly and at relatively low cost, mainly by decreasing the number of production employees. In Europe, short-term capacity decreases can generally be achieved by adjusting work schedules and reducing the number of short-term contract and temporary workers. Long-term capacity reductions in Europe generally involve agreed-upon terms with the applicable works council.
We purchase many of the components used in the production of our recreational vehicles in their finished form. The principal raw materials used in the manufacturing processes for motorhomes, including motorcaravans, campervans and urban vehicles, and travel trailers, including caravans, are chassis, aluminum, lumber, plywood, plastic, fiberglass and steel purchased from numerous suppliers.
Our relationship with our chassis suppliers is similar to our other RV vendor relationships in that no long-term contractual commitments are entered into by either party. Historically, chassis manufacturers resort to an industry-wide allocation system during periods when chassis supply is restricted. These allocations are generally based on the volume of chassis previously purchased. While we are not dependent on any one supplier, we do depend on a consistent supply of chassis from a limited number of chassis suppliers. Sales of our motorized RV products, including motorhomes, motorcaravans, campervans and urban vehicles, rely on these chassis.
It is extremely difficult to predict when or whether future supply chain issues related to chassis or other components used in the production of RVs 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. 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. In Europe, while the overall chassis supply has improved, disruption in the sequence of chassis supply has in the past, and could in the future, inhibit our ability to efficiently and consistently maintain our planned production levels.
While the North American RV industry has at times faced supply shortages or delivery delays of other, non-chassis raw material components, the supply chain is currently able to support our demand. If supply shortages or delivery delays were to adversely impact our suppliers’ ability to fully meet our needs for key components, our costs of such components and our production output could be adversely affected.
In Europe, we continued to experience cost increases and intermittent supply shortages and delivery delays of other, non-chassis raw material components for some brands which negatively impacted the efficiency of our production in the current fiscal year. We believe these shortages and delays will improve, but could continue to result in production inefficiencies in the near term, which would have a negative impact on our operating results due to lost efficiencies as a result of not completing units within the normal production sequence.
Where possible, we will continue to work closely with our suppliers on various supply chain strategies to minimize any constraints and will work to identify alternative suppliers. Furthermore, to minimize the future impact of supply chain constraints, we have identified a second-source supplier base for certain component parts, however, the engineering requirements required with an alternate component part, particularly the chassis our various units are built upon, limit the impact of these alternative suppliers on reducing any near-term supply constraints.
Generally, our North American and European RV operating subsidiaries introduce new or improved lines or models of recreational vehicles each year. Changes typically include new sizes and floor plans, different decors or design features and engineering and technological improvements.
5
Seasonality
Historically, since recreational vehicles were used primarily by vacationers and campers, our recreational vehicle sales tend to be seasonal and, in most geographical areas, tend to be lower during the winter months than in other periods. As a result of being primarily used for vacations, our recreational vehicle sales are historically lowest during our second fiscal quarter, which ends on January 31 of each year. In times of high consumer demand or other macro or social disruptions, seasonality may differ from the normal patterns noted above.
Marketing and Distribution
We sell our recreational vehicles primarily to independent, non-franchise dealers located throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Each of our recreational vehicle operating subsidiaries sells to its own network of independent dealers, with many dealers carrying more than one of our product lines as well as products from other manufacturers. As of July 31, 2025, there were approximately 2,400 independent, non-franchise dealership locations carrying our products in the U.S. and Canada and approximately 1,100 dealership locations, of which two are Company-owned, carrying our products throughout Europe. We believe that the working relationships between the management and sales personnel of our operating entities and the independent dealers provide us with valuable information on customer preferences and the quality and marketability of our products.
Our European brands distribute their vehicles in Europe through dealer networks that offer various EHG brands covering all price segments in each region, avoiding brand overlap even in regions with two or more dealers that offer EHG brands. The European dealer base is comprised primarily of independent dealers, although EHG does operate two Company-owned dealerships. Approximately 49% of independent European dealers sell EHG brands exclusively.
Each of our recreational vehicle operating subsidiaries has its own wholesale sales force that works directly with its independent dealers. Typically, there are wholesale shows held during the year in certain locations within the United States and Europe. These shows allow dealers to view new and existing products as well as place orders.
Historically, the most important retail sales events occur at various consumer recreational vehicle shows or trade fairs which take place throughout the year at different locations across the United States, Canada and Europe. We believe that we, and our dealers, are well-positioned to reach new and existing RV consumers through a strategic combination of retail shows and digital marketing activities. We also benefit in the United States from the recreational vehicle awareness advertising and marketing programs sponsored by the RVIA in national print media and television.
In our selection of individual, independent dealers, we emphasize the dealer’s ability to maintain a sufficient inventory of our products, as well as their financial stability, creditworthiness, reputation, experience and ability to provide service to the end customer. Many dealers, particularly in North America, carry the recreational vehicle lines of one or more of our competitors. Generally, our recreational vehicle operating subsidiaries each have separate dealer agreements.
One dealer, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for approximately 14.0% of our consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025 and for approximately 14.0% and 13.0% in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. This dealer also accounted for approximately 14.0% of the Company’s consolidated trade accounts receivable at July 31, 2025 and approximately 10.0% at July 31, 2024.
We generally do not finance dealer purchases. Most dealers are financed on a “floor plan” basis by an unrelated bank or financing company, which lends the dealer all, or substantially all, of the wholesale purchase price and retains a security interest in the vehicles purchased. As is customary in the recreational vehicle industry, we will generally execute a repurchase agreement with a lending institution financing a dealer’s purchase of our products upon the lending institution’s request. Repurchase agreements provide that, typically for a period of up to 18 months after a unit is financed and in the event of default by the dealer and notification from the lending institution of the dealer default, we will repurchase all of the applicable or qualifying dealer units repossessed by the lending institution for the amount then due, which is often less than 100% of the dealer’s cost. The risk of loss under repurchase agreements is spread over numerous dealers and is further reduced by the resale value of the units which we would be required to repurchase. Estimating the timing and volume of any potential future repurchase demands, and the related losses to the Company, is difficult and subject to uncertainty. The Company’s total commercial commitments under standby repurchase obligations on dealer inventory financing as of July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024 were $3,484,235 and $3,642,137, respectively. Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2023 were not material and totaled $7,107 in fiscal 2024.

Backlog
The backlogs for our North American Towable, North American Motorized and European Recreational Vehicle segments as of July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, respectively, were as follows:
| July 31, 2025 | July 31, 2024 | Change Amount | % Change | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Recreational vehicles | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| North American Towable | $ | 525,014 | $ | 552,379 | $ | (27,365) | (5.0) | |||||||||||||||||||
| North American Motorized | 1,004,620 | 776,903 | 227,717 | 29.3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total North America | 1,529,634 | 1,329,282 | 200,352 | 15.1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| European | 1,525,592 | 1,950,793 | (425,201) | (21.8) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | 3,055,226 | $ | 3,280,075 | $ | (224,849) | (6.9) | |||||||||||||||||||
The increase in total North American Recreational Vehicle backlog is primarily due to an increase in North American Motorized backlog, which was adversely impacted at July 31, 2024 by lower retail sales and dealer and consumer concerns over the higher interest rates and carrying costs at that time.
We believe North American dealer inventory levels for most 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 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 unit prices as well as interest rates and other carrying costs.
The decrease in European Recreational Vehicle backlog is primarily due to improved chassis supply availability and a return to normalized dealer inventory levels at July 31, 2025.
Backlog represents unfilled dealer orders on a particular day which can and do fluctuate on a seasonal basis. The manufacturing time in the recreational vehicle business is relatively short. Barring any significant and longer-term material supply constraints, the existing backlogs of the North American Towable, North American Motorized and European Recreational Vehicle segments are generally expected to be filled in the remainder of calendar 2025 and the first half of calendar 2026.
Product Warranties
In North America, we generally provide retail purchasers of our recreational vehicles with a one-year or two-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship with longer warranties on certain structural components. In Europe, we generally offer a two-year limited warranty on certain structural components and up to a 12-year warranty against water leakage. The chassis and engines in our motorized RV products are generally warranted for various periods in excess of one year by their manufacturers.
Regulation
In the countries where we operate and our products are sold, we are subject to various vehicle safety and compliance standards. Within the United States, we are a member of the RVIA, a voluntary association of recreational vehicle manufacturers which promulgates recreational vehicle safety standards in the United States. We manufacture recreational vehicles in accordance with these standards and, in turn, are permitted to place an RVIA seal on each of our North American recreational vehicles to certify that the RVIA’s standards have been met. We also comply with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) in the U.S. and with similar standards within Canada and Europe as it relates to the safety of our products. We rely upon certifications obtained by chassis manufacturers with respect to compliance with applicable motorized vehicle emission control standards and work with chassis manufacturers to ensure they remain compliant with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and state-specific requirements, including mandates on the production and sale of zero-emission vehicles and near-zero emission vehicles.
7
Governmental authorities in the regions in which we operate have various environmental control standards relating to air, water and noise pollution which affect our business and operations. For example, these standards, which are generally applicable to all companies, control our choice of paints, our air compressor discharge, the handling of our waste water and the noise emitted by our factories, among other things.
Our facilities are subject to, and are periodically inspected by, various governmental and industry agencies concerned with health and safety in the workplace to ensure that our facilities and products comply with applicable governmental and industry standards.
We believe that our products and facilities comply in all material respects with applicable vehicle safety (including those promulgated by NHTSA), environmental, industry, health, employee safety and other required regulations. We do not believe that ongoing compliance with the existing regulations discussed above will have a material effect in the foreseeable future on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. However, future developments in regulation and/or policy could impose significant challenges and costs upon our business operations.
Competition
The recreational vehicle industry is generally characterized by low barriers to entry. The recreational vehicle market is intensely competitive, with numerous other manufacturers selling products that compete directly with our products. We also compete against consumer demand for used recreational vehicles, particularly during periods of economic downturn, and against other forms of consumer leisure, outdoor or vacation spending priorities. We also experience a certain level of competition among our own operating subsidiaries. Increased activity in the market for used recreational vehicles may also impact manufacturers’ sales of new products and varies depending on the availability of, and the price differential of, used recreational vehicles compared to new units. Competition in the recreational vehicle industry is based upon price, design, value, quality and service. We believe that the price, design, value and quality of our products and the warranty coverage and service that we provide allow us to compete favorably for retail purchasers of recreational vehicles and consumer leisure spending. There are approximately 80 RV manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada, according to Statistical Surveys, Inc. and approximately 30 RV manufacturers across Europe according to Caravaning Industry Association e.V.
Our primary RV competitors within the North American Towable and North American Motorized segments are Forest River, Inc. and Winnebago Industries, Inc. We are the largest recreational vehicle manufacturer in North America in terms of both units sold and revenue. According to Statistical Surveys, Inc., for the six months ended June 30, 2025, THOR’s current combined U.S. and Canadian market share based on unit retail sales was approximately 39.1% for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined and approximately 48.3% for motorhomes.
Our primary RV competitors within the European Recreational Vehicle segment are Trigano, Hobby/Fendt, Knaus Tabbert and various vehicle manufacturers. According to CIVD, EHG’s current European market share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 based on unit retail sales was approximately 26.1% for motorcaravans and campervans combined and approximately 17.3% for caravans.
Trademarks and Patents
We have registered United States trademarks, Canadian trademarks, German trademarks and certain other international trademarks and licenses carrying the principal trade names and model lines under which our products are marketed. We hold and protect certain patents related to our business. We are not dependent upon any patents or technology licenses of others for the conduct of our business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors should be considered carefully in addition to the other information contained in this filing.
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face and represent risks that our management believes are currently material to our Company and our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem not material may also harm our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed.
MACROECONOMIC, MARKET AND STRATEGIC RISKS
RV industry sales volumes can be volatile as the industry is both cyclical and seasonal, making our business subject to significant fluctuations in production rates, sales, net income and stock price.
The RV industry has historically been characterized by cycles of growth and contraction in consumer demand, generally reflecting prevailing overall economic and market conditions (such as the level of inflation, interest rates and tariffs), consumer sentiment and behavior and demographic conditions which affect disposable income for leisure-time activities. Changes can impact the RV industry suddenly and severely. Consequently, the results of any prior period may not be indicative of results for any future period. Furthermore, if industry RV sales were to decline to levels significantly below our planning assumptions, the decline could have a substantial adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition to the RV industry cyclicality, we have experienced, and expect to experience in future periods, significant variability in quarterly production rates, sales and net income as a result of annual seasonality in our business. Because recreational vehicles are used primarily by vacationers and campers, demand, sales and profits in the RV industry generally decline during the fall and winter months, while demand, sales and profits are generally highest during the spring and summer months. Various factors such as constraints in the labor pool, supply chain disruptions, economic conditions and desired dealer stocking levels have disrupted, and may disrupt in the future, the historical trends in the seasonality of our business in both North America and Europe.
Our business is structured, particularly in the United States, to quickly align production rates and cost structure to meet rapidly changing market conditions. However, if we are unable to ramp production, and the corresponding workforce, up or down quickly enough in response to rapid changes in demand, we may not be able to effectively manage our costs, which could negatively impact operating results, and we may also lose sales and market share.
The stock market, in general, experiences volatility that has often been unrelated to the underlying operating performance of companies. Likewise, at various points in our history, our stock price has experienced volatility that has not been correlated to our operating results. If this volatility were to occur in the future, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly, independent of our actual financial performance. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, among other things, the following:
•Development of new products and features by our competitors;
•Development of new collaborative arrangements by us, our competitors or other parties;
•Actual or anticipated changes in government regulations applicable to our business in the various jurisdictions in which we operate;
•Actual or anticipated changes to trade policy, tariffs and import/export regulations;
•Changes in investor perception of our business and/or management;
•Changes in global economic conditions or general market conditions in our industry;
•Changes in interest rates and credit availability and their impact on our industry;
•Changes in market expectations of our future growth and profitability;
•Occurrence of disruptive or catastrophic health, economic or political events; and
•Sales of our common stock held by certain equity investors or members of management.
12
The Company’s stock price may also reflect expectations regarding our stock repurchase activity and our dividend rate. If we fail to meet expectations related to future growth, profitability, dividends, share repurchases or other market expectations, analysts or investors could change their opinions and/or recommendations regarding our stock and our stock price may decline, which could have a material adverse impact on investor confidence.
With our global footprint, our business could be adversely affected by macroeconomic and geopolitical developments or other events.
Due to the interconnectedness of the global economy, the challenges of a financial crisis, economic downturn or recession, trade policy volatility, natural disaster, war, geopolitical crisis, public health emergency or other significant event in one area of the world can have a sudden material adverse impact on markets around the world. RV industry sales volume in our key markets can be volatile and could decline if there is a financial crisis, recession or significant geopolitical event. Our results of operations are generally sensitive to changes in overall economic and political conditions, including recessionary conditions, inflationary or deflationary pressures, changes in tariff rate, prolonged high unemployment rates, significant changes in the cost and/or availability of fuel or energy, consumer confidence, interest rates, restrictions and/or shortages of natural gas or other fuels, terrorism and military conflicts. Historically, we have seen that in times of economic uncertainty, consumers who have less discretionary income generally defer spending on high-cost, discretionary products, such as RVs. Recently, we have seen demand for RVs remain depressed amid ongoing inflation, persistently higher interest rates, political and trade policy uncertainty and numerous other macroeconomic indices which have generally remained challenging in the regions in which we operate. If economic and political conditions worsen and RV sales decline, our operating results and financial condition would be negatively affected.
The industry in which we operate is highly competitive both in North America and in Europe and our requirements as a public company may put us at a competitive disadvantage.
The RV industry is generally characterized by relatively low barriers to entry, which results in a highly competitive business environment. According to Stat Surveys and CIVD, respectively, there are approximately 80 RV manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada and approximately 30 RV manufacturers across Europe. Competition within the industry is based upon price, design, value, quality, service, brand awareness and reputation, as well as other factors. Competitive pressures have, from time to time, resulted in a reduction of our profit margins and/or in our market share. In periods of economic downturn, these competitive pressures can increase as RV manufacturers compete for a share of a smaller RV market. Sustained increases in these competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, as a public company, we are required to disclose certain information that may put us at a competitive disadvantage compared to certain of our competitors who are either non-public or are not required to disclose specific industry-related information due to the immateriality of that information to their parent company’s consolidated operations.
Due to the anticipated long-term interest in the RV lifestyle, a number of start-up companies in North America, and certain automotive manufacturers, in both North America and Europe, have entered the RV industry within the last few years and introduced products that directly compete with our products. If existing or new competitors develop products that are superior to, are more innovative than, achieve better consumer acceptance than, or are offered at a lower net price to dealers than our products, our market share, sales volume and profit margins may be adversely affected. Not only does our Company compete against numerous existing RV manufacturers, but a number of our operating subsidiaries directly compete with each other.
In addition to direct competition from other RV manufacturers, we also continuously compete against consumer demand for used recreational vehicles, particularly during periods of economic downturn. Increased availability of used recreational vehicles and significant price differences between new and used recreational vehicles, as a result of an economic downturn or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and our results of operations.
Finally, we also face competition from other consumer leisure, discretionary and vacation spending alternatives, such as cruises, vacation homes, timeshares, tent camping and other traditional vacations along with other recreational products like boats and motorcycles. Changes in actual or perceived value among these alternatives by consumers could impact our future sales volume and profitability.
13
Our long-term success and competitiveness depend on the successful execution of our innovation initiatives.
A key driver in our historical performance and growth has been our ability to maintain our strong brands and to continuously develop and introduce innovative new and improved products at a reasonable cost that are desired by consumers. Adoption of new technological advances and changing governmental regulatory mandates could result in changes to product offerings and in consumer preferences for recreational vehicles or the types of recreational vehicles consumers prefer. These changes could include shifts to smaller recreational vehicles, electric recreational vehicles, hybrid recreational vehicles, autonomous recreational vehicles, connected recreational vehicles or other currently unanticipated changes. Our ability to successfully maintain our market position or grow through investments in the areas of electrification, connectivity and digital services depends on many factors, including advancements in technology, regulatory changes, infrastructure development (e.g., a widespread vehicle charging network) and other factors that are difficult to predict.
To successfully execute our long-term strategy, we believe we must continue to develop and successfully market our existing products as well as new products, including lightweight motorized and towable recreational vehicles, hybrid or electric recreational vehicles with sufficient user range capability and innovative services that enrich the end users’ RV experience. Our initiatives to invest in the future of the RV industry, including automation of certain of our production processes and investments in new product and service innovation, are likely to be costly and may not be successful. The uncertainties associated with developing and introducing innovative new and improved products and services, such as gauging changing consumer demands and preferences and successfully developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling these products, may impact the success of our product introductions. Further, we cannot be certain that our new product introductions will not reduce revenues from existing models and adversely affect our results of operations. If the products we introduce do not gain widespread market acceptance, or if our competitors’ new products obtain better market acceptance or render our products obsolete, we could lose sales or be required to reduce our prices, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial position. In addition, there is no guarantee that our innovation or automation efforts will lead to products or services that will be introduced to market or that an initial product or service concept or design will result in a unit that generates sales in sufficient quantities and at high enough prices to be profitable.
OPERATIONAL RISKS
We are highly dependent on our suppliers to deliver raw materials and component parts timely and in sufficient quantities to meet our production demands.
We depend on timely and sufficient delivery of raw materials and component parts from our suppliers. If there is a shortage of raw materials or component parts in our supply chain or a supplier is unable to deliver raw materials and component parts to us because of production issues, labor constraints, limited availability of materials, shipping problems or other reasons, the shortage may disrupt our operations or increase our cost of production. For example, in fiscal 2024 we experienced supply shortages and delivery delays of non-chassis raw material components in Europe which negatively impacted the efficiency of our production in fiscal 2024 and resulted in an elevated level of work in process inventory on hand compared to historical norms. Such conditions could reoccur in the future and could have negative impacts on net sales and financial results due to not completing units on the production line and carrying higher volumes of incomplete units than historical norms.
Raw materials and component parts are generally sourced from a number of suppliers that may not have: (1) the ability to meet our needs timely or completely, (2) the financial reserves or borrowing power to successfully manage through an economic hardship or (3) the ability to financially support potential warranty or recall demands. Additionally, some of our suppliers have in the past discontinued, or could in the future discontinue, their business or the materials or component parts we currently acquire from them with little to no warning. If we are not adequately sourced for certain raw materials or key component parts, the discontinuation of even some smaller suppliers could have an adverse effect on our business.
Furthermore, certain raw materials and component parts are sourced from countries where we do not currently have operations. We rely on the free flow of goods through open and operational ports on a consistent basis for a portion of our raw materials and components. Changes in trade policy and resulting tariffs that have or may be imposed, along with port, production or other delays, have, in the past, and could, in the future, cause increased costs for, or shortages of, certain raw materials and components. We may not be able to source alternative supplies as necessary without increased costs or at all. If alternative sources of these raw materials and components are not readily available, our net sales, earnings and cash flows could be negatively affected.
14
The North American and European RV industries have, from time to time in the past, experienced shortages of chassis for various reasons, including component shortages, production delays, capacity constraints, labor constraints and work stoppages at the chassis manufacturers. For example, from calendar year 2020 through 2023, a number of our North American and European chassis suppliers experienced supply constraints of key components they required to manufacture chassis, including semiconductor chips, which limited their production of chassis. The reduced supply of chassis negatively impacted our production rates and sales of motorized RVs, particularly in Europe, during this period. In addition, within our European operations, unpredictable deliveries of chassis by the chassis manufacturers during this same period, and in calendar 2024, had a further negative impact on our results of operations due to missed sales and/or increased labor and overhead costs related to adjusting our own production schedules to accommodate the chassis received versus the chassis expected to be delivered. Such conditions could reoccur in the future and would have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Government regulations aimed at reducing emissions and increasing fuel efficiency that impact our motorized chassis suppliers could negatively impact their production capacity and cost structure which could in turn negatively impact the supply of motorized chassis and/or result in increased input costs for our products. Government regulations could also accelerate the transition to electric vehicles, which may impact our product offerings and increase the cost of motorized chassis. Such rise in cost could outweigh the perceived benefits to consumers, negatively affecting our sales mix and pricing, resulting in decreased sales and/or margins.
In addition, increased restrictions imposed on a class of chemicals known as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"), which are widely used in parts and materials that are incorporated into our products, may negatively impact our supply chain due to the potentially decreased availability, or non-availability, of PFAS-containing parts and materials. If alternative sources are not readily available, our net sales, earnings and cash flows could be negatively affected.
Fluctuations in the prices of raw material and component parts may adversely affect our business.
Raw material and component part prices have fluctuated significantly in the past and may fluctuate considerably in the future. Current and proposed tariffs on goods imported to the U.S., or countermeasures imposed in response to such tariffs, may increase the cost of goods for our products if we are unable to source the required raw materials or component parts domestically or from other countries with lower tariff rates. Such cost increases may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition, if we are unable to pass along the costs increases to our dealers. Competition and business conditions may limit the amount or timing of cost increases that can be passed on to our customers in the form of increased sales prices. Conversely, as raw material costs decline, we may not be able to maintain selling prices consistent with higher-cost raw materials in our inventory, which could adversely affect our operating results.
We rely on a small number of suppliers for certain key components, including chassis, and we may not be able to source these key components from alternative suppliers.
Certain key components are currently produced by only a small group of suppliers that have the capacity to supply large quantities, primarily: (1) motorized chassis, where there are a limited number of chassis suppliers, and (2) doors, towable frames, slide-out mechanisms, axles and upholstered furniture for our recreational vehicles, where LCI Industries is a major supplier for these items within the North American RV industry.
Continued consolidation within our key component supplier base inhibits our ability to source components from alternative suppliers and could result in increased component costs and/or a lack of adequate supply, which in turn may result in decreased margins, higher wholesale product costs or limited production output, which could, ultimately, result in lower demand for our products, decreased sales and reduced operating results.
Our motorized chassis suppliers may need to substantially modify their product offerings to comply with regulations related to emissions, fuel economy, autonomous driving technology, environmental and other regulations which could result in increased costs and/or a lack of adequate motorized chassis supply to us, which in turn may result in higher wholesale product input costs and decreased margins, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, as is standard in the industry, our arrangements with chassis and other suppliers are generally terminable at any time either by us or by the supplier. If we cannot obtain an adequate supply of chassis, raw materials or other key components, this would result in a decrease in our sales and earnings.
15
Product recalls, customer satisfaction actions and complying with our recall obligations for both our products and for component parts supplied by vendors could adversely affect our financial condition and harm our reputation.
We provide warranties on the products we sell. These warranties vary depending on the type of product and geographic location of the sale; however, in general, our warranties promise, within certain specified time periods following a retail sale, that we will repair, replace or adjust parts on our products that are not performing within acceptable standards or tolerances. These warranties extend to some, but not all, of our vendor-supplied raw materials and component parts as well. Estimated warranty costs are accounted for at the time of product sale and adjusted on a quarterly basis to reflect our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on our products. An increase in actual warranty claim costs as compared to our estimates could result in increased warranty liabilities and expense which could have an adverse impact on our earnings.
Government safety standards require manufacturers to remedy issues related to vehicle safety through safety recall campaigns, and we regularly engage in voluntary recalls when we determine our products may have a safety issue. Issues subject to recall include both materials and workmanship from our companies as well as component parts supplied by vendors, arising from their quality issues or otherwise. The cost of certain recall and customer satisfaction actions have been substantial in the past and future recalls or customer satisfaction actions to remedy issues in products that have been sold could also be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, multiple recalls to address safety or significant operating concerns could erode consumer confidence in our brands and adversely affect our reputation or the public perception and market acceptance of our products, resulting in lower sales and an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. Although we maintain appropriate reserves for such recall contingencies, from time to time we have been and likely will again be faced with specific campaigns that result in material expense. To mitigate this risk, we endeavor to compel our suppliers to maintain appropriate levels of insurance coverage and agree to commercially reasonable indemnification requirements. Our efforts may not be successful and the failure of suppliers to maintain sufficient insurance coverage or provide meaningful indemnification protection could result in increased expense and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our business and results of operations may be harmed if the frequency and size of product liability or other claims against us increase.
We are subject, in the ordinary course of business, to litigation involving product liability, consumer protection and other claims against us. In North America, we generally self-insure a portion of our exposure to product liability and certain other claims and also purchase product liability coverage above our self-insured retention. In Europe, we generally fully insure similar risks with insurance offering relatively low deductibles and premiums. Not all risks we face are covered by insurance, nor can we be certain that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all future claims against us. Any material change in the aforementioned factors could have an adverse impact on our operating results. Any increase in the frequency and/or size of claims, as compared to our experience in prior years, may cause the premiums that we are required to pay for insurance to increase significantly, may negatively impact future self-insured retention levels and may also increase the amounts we pay in punitive damages, not all of which are covered by our insurance policies.
While we record, and adjust on a quarterly basis, reserves for known claims or possible claims to reflect our best estimate of the amount necessary to settle the claim, litigation is unpredictable by its nature and final adjudications may be materially worse than our estimate.
The loss of our largest independent dealer or an increase in independent dealer consolidations could have a material negative effect on our business.
Sales to FreedomRoads, LLC accounted for approximately 14.0% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2025. During recent years, FreedomRoads, LLC has acquired a number of formerly independent RV dealerships. The leverage to negotiate better terms with us arising from FreedomRoads, LLC’s acquisitions or the loss of independent dealers could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, deterioration in the liquidity or creditworthiness of FreedomRoads, LLC could negatively impact our sales and accounts receivable and could, in the event of a financing default, trigger repurchase obligations under our repurchase agreements, which would have a significant adverse effect on our liquidity and results of operations.
Recently, a number of other U.S.-based independent dealers have acquired, and continue to acquire, formerly independent RV dealerships, resulting in further independent dealer concentration and improved negotiating leverage for these multi-location dealers. Continued consolidation in the U.S. independent dealer network could negatively impact our sales or gross margins and increase the concentration of our exposure under repurchase obligations related to these independent dealers.
16
A material portion of our revenue is derived from sales of our products to international sources.
Combined sales from the U.S. to foreign countries (predominately Canada) and sales from our foreign subsidiaries to countries other than the U.S. (predominately within the European Union) represented approximately 36.1% of THOR’s consolidated sales for fiscal 2025. Changes in U.S. policy regarding foreign trade, manufacturing or other matters may create negative sentiment about the U.S. among non-U.S. dealers, end customers, employees or prospective employees, all of which could adversely affect our operations, sales, and financial results. In addition, global political uncertainty poses risks of volatility in global markets, which could negatively affect our operations and financial results.
Implications related to our non-U.S. sales have negatively impacted our financial operating results in the past and are likely to reoccur in the future, at varying levels. These implications include foreign currency effects, tariffs, customs duties, inflation, difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems, compliance with international laws, treaties and regulations, unexpected changes in regulatory or tax environments, disruptions in supply or distribution, dependence on foreign personnel and various employee work agreements, foreign governmental action, as well as economic and social instability. In addition, there may be tax inefficiencies in repatriating cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries or unfavorable tax law changes.
Our U.S.-based subsidiaries have expenses and sales denominated in U.S. dollars. Sales by our U.S.-based subsidiaries into the Canadian market are subject to currency risk as devaluation of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar may negatively impact U.S.-dollar denominated sales into Canada. Our European-based subsidiaries primarily have Euro-denominated expenses, sales and assets which are subject to changes in the Euro and U.S. dollar currency exchange rate. To offset a portion of this currency risk, the EHG acquisition was partially funded through a Euro-denominated Term Loan B, which provides an economic hedge. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the future could have a material negative effect on our reported revenues and results of operations.
We are also subject to additional foreign regulatory frameworks, in some cases, more stringent or complex than similar United States frameworks. These emerging regulations are likely to require significant resources and could increase our cost of doing business, restrict our ability to operate our business or execute our strategies, and result in fines, penalties, or reputational harm if not fully complied with.
Business acquisitions pose integration and other risks.
Our growth has been achieved both organically and through acquisition. Business acquisitions, including joint ventures and other equity investment arrangements, pose a number of risks, including integration risks, that may result in negative consequences to our business, financial condition or results of operations. The pace and significance of acquisitions and the nature and extent of integration of acquired companies, assets, operations, joint venture arrangements and other equity investment arrangements involve a number of related risks including, but not limited to:
•The diversion of management’s attention from the management of existing operations to various transaction and integration activities;
•The potential for disruption to existing operations and strategic plans;
•The assimilation and retention of employees, including key employees;
•Risks related to transacting business in geographies outside the U.S., including but not limited to: foreign currency exchange rate changes, expanded macroeconomic risks due to operations in and sales to a wide base of countries, political and regulatory exposures to a wide array of countries, varying employee/employer relationships, including the existence of works councils and labor organizations and other challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences, making it harder to do business in certain jurisdictions;
•Risks related to regulatory environments or product categories with which we have limited or no experience;
•Risks related to acquisitions outside of our historical RV OEM operations, which may carry new and less well-known operational challenges;
•The ability of our management teams to manage expanded operations, including international operations, to meet operational and financial expectations;
•The integration of departments and systems, including accounting systems, technologies, books and records, controls and procedures;
•The adverse impact on profitability if acquired operations, joint ventures or other equity investments do not achieve expected financial results or realize the synergies and other benefits expected;
•The potential loss of, or adverse effects on, existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;
17
•The assumption of liabilities of the acquired businesses, which could be greater than anticipated;
•The potential failure of our due diligence efforts to identify and properly evaluate risks or liabilities acquired or assumed in acquisition transactions;
•The potential negative impact on available cash and/or future cash flows to support acquisitions, joint ventures or equity investments and related commitments; and
•The potential adverse impact on operating results if, in future periods, impairments of significant amounts of goodwill and other assets occur.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of strategic realignments or other reorganizational actions and such actions may cause the Company to incur significant charges, disrupt our operations or harm our reputation.
We continually review and evaluate our business to identify strategic opportunities to make our operations more efficient and reduce costs. In doing so, we have taken, and may in the future take, strategic realignment actions, such as strategic reorganization measures, reduced production rates to align with current and forecasted operating needs or brand rationalization actions within a market segment. Our plans for implementing such actions are generally in response to external RV industry market factors or internal cost saving and efficiency opportunities. These actions may also include employee separations, realignment of our operating footprint (e.g., plant closures) or other strategic actions. Such actions have caused in the past, and may in the future cause us to incur significant costs; record impairments or other charges; subject us to potential claims from employees or other counterparties; disrupt our operations; distract management from current operations; or harm our reputation. Further, we may not realize the expected benefits of such reorganizational actions (e.g., anticipated cost savings), such benefits may be delayed, or market dynamics or other factors may have evolved such that we cannot obtain the original intended results of an action.
Our long-term viability and financial success are dependent upon our ability to attract and retain an experienced and skilled workforce, including within our management teams, while also maintaining a flexible and competitive compensation and benefit cost structure.
We rely on the existence of an available, qualified workforce to manufacture our products and on our ability to recruit and retain talented hourly and salaried employees. Competition for such employees is intense in the areas where we operate, particularly during periods of high industry demand as such periods require us to pay higher wages to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees. We cannot be certain that we will be able to attract and retain qualified employees to meet future manufacturing needs at a reasonable cost, or at all.
Within our U.S.-based operations, we incur significant costs with respect to employee healthcare and workers compensation benefits. We are self-insured for these employee healthcare and workers compensation benefits up to certain defined retention limits. If costs related to these or other employee benefits increase as a result of increased healthcare costs in the U.S., increased utilization of such benefits as a result of increased claims, new or revised U.S. governmental mandates or otherwise, our operating results and financial condition may suffer. Within our European-based operations, we incur significant costs with respect to employee benefits which are largely governed by country and regional regulations. New or revised governmental mandates may also cause our operating results and financial condition to suffer.
In addition to compensation considerations, potential employees are placing an increasing premium on various tangible and intangible benefits, such as working for companies with a clear purpose, flexible work arrangements, limited overtime requirements, increased benefit packages and other considerations. If we are not perceived as an employer of choice, we may be unable to recruit and retain skilled employees. Further, if we lose existing employees with needed skills or we are unable to upskill and develop existing employees, particularly with the introduction of new technologies, it could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We rely heavily upon the knowledge, experience and skills of our executive management and key operating company management employees to compete effectively in the RV industry and manage our operations. Our future success depends on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain executive management and key leadership level personnel and, upon the departure of such key employees, the existence of adequate succession plans. The loss of members of our executive management or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations in the event that our succession plans prove inadequate.
18
We could be impacted by the potential adverse effects of union activities.
Most of our European-based operations and their respective employee contracts are subject to collective labor agreements, works councils and unions, and a small number of our North American employees are currently represented by a labor union. Any disruption in our relationships with these third-party associations could adversely affect the cost of our labor, our ability to adjust employee levels or working hours in response to market demands, and our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. Additional unionization of our North American facilities could result in higher costs and increased risk of work stoppages.
We also are, directly or indirectly, dependent upon companies with unionized work forces, such as parts suppliers, chassis suppliers and trucking and freight companies. Work stoppages or strikes organized by such third-party unions have in the past and could again in the future have a material adverse impact on our business. If a work stoppage occurs, it could delay the manufacture, sale and distribution of our products and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
Our business depends on the performance of independent, non-franchise authorized dealers and third-party transportation carriers.
We distribute all of our North American and the majority of our European products through a system of independent, non-franchise authorized dealers, many of whom sell products from competing manufacturers. As of July 31, 2025, we distributed our products to approximately 2,400 independent dealerships in the United States and approximately 1,100 independent dealerships in Europe. We depend on the capability of these independent dealers to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand among retail consumers for the products that the dealers purchase from us. If our independent dealers are not successful in these endeavors, then we may be unable to maintain or grow our revenues and meet our financial expectations. The geographic coverage of our independent dealers and their individual business conditions can affect the ability of our independent dealers to sell our products to consumers. If our independent dealers are unsuccessful, they may exit or be forced to exit the business or, in some cases, we may seek to terminate relationships with certain dealerships. As a result, we could face adverse consequences related to the termination of independent dealer relationships. In addition, ongoing consolidation of independent dealers, as well as the growth of large, multi-location dealers, has in the past and could in the future result in increased bargaining power on the part of these independent dealers.
Given the independent nature of the dealers who sell our products, they generally maintain control over which manufacturers, and which brands, they will do business with, often carrying more than one manufacturer’s products. Independent dealers can, and do, change the brands and manufacturers they sell. If our products are not perceived by the independent dealers as being desirable and profitable for them to carry, the dealers may terminate their relationship with our operating subsidiaries or may drop certain of our brands, which would in turn adversely affect our sales and profit margins if we are unable to replace those dealers.
Our products are generally delivered to our independent dealers via a system of third-party transportation contractors. The network of carriers is limited, and in times of high demand and limited availability, we have experienced in the past, and could face again, the disruption of our distribution channel. For example, in recent fiscal years, the availability of drivers in Europe was negatively impacted by the military conflict in Ukraine. If future health emergencies, military conflicts or other circumstances that inhibit transportation of our products emerge in the regions in which we operate or sell our products, the network of carriers we rely on may have difficulty finding drivers who are available, are willing to deliver in those regions or governmental agencies or other actors may restrict movement of goods in those regions. The inability to timely deliver our products to our independent dealers could adversely affect our relationships with those dealers and negatively impact our sales and net income.
19
Interruption of information systems service or misappropriation or breach of our information systems could cause disruption to our operations, disclosure of confidential or personal information or cause damage to our reputation.
Our business relies on information systems and other technology (“information systems”), some of which are managed or hosted by third parties, to support aspects of our global business operations, including, but not limited to, procurement, supply chain management, manufacturing, design, distribution, invoicing, financial transactions with banks and financing institutions and other transactions with various third-party providers. We also use information systems to accumulate, analyze and report our operational results. In connection with our use of information systems, we obtain, create and maintain confidential and personal information. Additionally, we rely upon information systems in our marketing and communication efforts. Due to our reliance on our information systems, we have established various levels of security as well as backup and disaster recovery procedures. Despite devoting significant resources to our cybersecurity program and business continuity plans, we are at risk for interruptions, outages and compromises of our information technology systems caused by cyber-attacks, including state-sponsored attacks, computer viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing attacks or breaches due to errors or malfeasance by employees and others who have access, or gain access, to these systems. The occurrence of any of these events could compromise the confidentiality, operational integrity and accessibility of these systems and the data that resides within them and our business processes and operations may be negatively impacted in the event of a substantial or prolonged disruption of service caused by such events.
THOR, along with others within the RV industry, including suppliers, dealers and third-party providers, have been the target of cyber-attacks in the past, and such attacks are expected to continue and evolve in the future. While we continually employ capabilities, processes and other security measures designed to reduce and mitigate the risk of cyber-attacks, and have requirements for our suppliers and service providers to do the same; we may not be aware of all vulnerabilities and such preventative measures cannot provide absolute security and may not be sufficient in all circumstances to mitigate all potential risks. A cybersecurity incident involving us or one of our suppliers or service providers could impact our production, internal operations, business strategy, results of operations, financial condition or our ability to deliver products to our customers. Moreover, a cybersecurity incident could harm our reputation, cause customers to lose trust in our security measures and/or subject us to regulatory actions or litigation, which may result in fines, penalties, judgments or injunctions.
The methods and technologies used to obtain unauthorized access to our information systems are constantly changing as are laws and regulations concerning data protection and privacy. We employ capabilities, processes and other security measures we believe are reasonably designed to detect, reduce and mitigate the risk of cybersecurity incidents, however, we may not be aware of all vulnerabilities or might not accurately assess the risks of incidents, and such preventative measures cannot provide absolute security and may not be sufficient in all circumstances or mitigate all potential risks, including the loss or disclosure of sensitive information. The misuse, leakage, unauthorized access of information could result in a violation of privacy laws, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and laws applicable in North America and the United States, which could, in turn, have a significant, negative impact on our results of operations, as a result of fines, remediation costs or other direct or indirect ramifications.
Our U.S.-based operations are primarily centered in northern Indiana.
The majority of our U.S. operations are located in northern Indiana, which is home to a large proportion of the North American RV industry. The concentration of our operations in northern Indiana creates certain risks, including those listed below which we have experienced in the past and may experience in the future:
•Competition for workers skilled in the industry, especially during times of low unemployment or periods of high demand for RVs, which has in the past, and may, in the future, increase the cost of our labor or limit the speed at which we can respond to changes in consumer demand;
•Retention and recruitment challenges as employees with industry knowledge and experience have been, and may continue to be, attracted to other positions or opportunities within or external to the RV industry, and their ability to change employers is relatively easy;
•The potential for greater adverse impact from natural disasters, such as weather-related events and public health emergencies; and
•The potential for new start-up RV manufactures to gain traction as the region has a skilled and knowledgeable workforce and many key suppliers are situated within the region as well.
In addition, a number of our key suppliers are also located in northern Indiana and are impacted by similar risks.
20
Adverse weather conditions and weather-related events could have a negative impact on our revenues and results of operations.
Natural disasters and changes in seasonal weather conditions can have a significant effect on our operating and financial results. Sales of our products are typically stronger just before and during spring and summer, and favorable weather during these months generally has a positive effect on consumer demand. Severe weather events, such as flooding, tornados, severe winter storms and hail have had, in the past and could have in the future, negative impacts on our operations due to disruptions to production and changes in demand. For example, in fiscal 2024, a weather event that included large damaging hail occurred at and around our Jackson Center, OH facilities. The hail resulted in significant roof damage to the motorized production facility and significant damage to inventory that was stored outside, primarily motorized chassis, but also some work in process and finished goods inventory. Due to the lack of motorized chassis, the motorized manufacturing plant was generally unable to produce units from the date of the incident throughout most of the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter. While we carry property and business interruption insurance to address such events, there is no guarantee that we will be able to fully insure such losses in the future. In addition, the long-term impact of weather-related events, such as rising temperatures and water scarcity, could impact our global manufacturing operations, which could impact our ability to manufacture products to fulfill customer demand. Additionally, the chronic, physical risks of temperature increases, rising sea levels and other gradual changes to the climate could adversely impact global ecosystems. This impact could potentially threaten the availability and existence of camping and RV facilities, thus, potentially limiting the demand for our products and possibly impacting the future growth of our business.
LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS
Climate-related regulations and ongoing compliance requirements with chassis emissions standards designed to address climate change in both North America and Europe may result in additional required disclosures and related compliance costs, or limit the use of our products in certain areas.
Our operations and certain motorized products we sell are subject to rules limiting emissions and other climate-related regulations in certain jurisdictions where we operate or sell our products. The impacts of changing emissions and other related climate regulations (including revised emission standards applying to heavy-duty trucks by the EPA as well as zero-emission vehicle regulations such as the California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Truck and Advanced Clean Fleet Regulations adopted in California and other U.S. jurisdictions) could result in different or more limited product offerings in those jurisdictions which may result in lower sales and significantly higher costs to the Company. Climate-related reporting regulations, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission’s final climate rules and litigation regarding its enforceability as well as the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, in the various jurisdictions in which our products are produced, used and/or sold could result in additional material costs of compliance. In addition, our towable products are generally towed by vehicles that would also be subject to emission and climate-related regulations. Concerns regarding climate change at numerous levels of government in various jurisdictions may lead to additional and potentially more stringent international, national, regional and local legislative and regulatory responses, and compliance with any new rules could be difficult and costly.
Climate change regulation combined with public sentiment could result in reduced demand for our products, higher energy and fuel prices or carbon taxes, limitations on where we can produce or sell our products, limitations on where our products can be used or other restrictions or costs, all of which could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Furthermore, we obtain motorized chassis from a number of different chassis suppliers who are required to comply with strict emission standards. As governmental agencies revise those standards, the chassis manufacturers must comply within the timeframes established. Uncertainties created by continued emission standards compliance requirements or the adoption of revised emission standards include the ability of the chassis manufacturer to comply with such standards on a timely and ongoing basis as well as the ability to produce sufficient quantities of compliant chassis to meet our demand. In the past, certain chassis manufacturers have experienced difficulties in meeting one or both of these requirements. In addition, revisions to chassis by the suppliers often impact our engineering and production processes and may result in increased chassis costs and/or other costs to us.
21
Increased public attention to environmental, social and governance matters may expose us to negative public perception, impose additional costs on our business or impact our stock price.
In recent years, increased attention has been directed towards publicly traded companies regarding environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters. A failure, or perceived failure, to achieve stated ESG goals, respond to regulatory requirements or meet investor or customer expectations related to ESG concerns could cause harm to our business and reputation. For example, our RV products are powered by gasoline and diesel engines or are required to be towed by gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles. Government, media or activist pressure to limit emissions could negatively impact consumers’ perceptions of our products which could have a material adverse effect on our business, and the actions taken by governments and other actors to reduce emissions could impose costs that could materially affect our results of operation and financial condition.
Additionally, while we strive to create an inclusive culture and workforce where everyone feels valued and respected, a failure, or perceived failure, to properly address inclusivity matters could result in reputational harm, reduced sales or an inability to attract and retain a talented workforce.
Organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and other matters have developed rating systems for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG. Unfavorable ESG ratings may lead to negative investor sentiment which could have a negative impact on our stock price.
More stringent privacy, data use, data protection and artificial intelligence laws and regulations as well as consumers’ heightened expectations to safeguard their personal information may have an adverse impact on our business.
We are subject to laws, rules and regulations in the United States and other countries (such as the European Union’s and the U.K.’s General Data Protection Regulations and the California Consumer Privacy Act) relating to the collection, use, cross-border data transfer and security of personal information of consumers, employees or others, including laws that may require the Company to notify regulators and affected individuals of a data security incident. Existing and newly developed laws and regulations may contain broad definitions of personal information, are subject to change, are subject to uncertain interpretations by courts and regulators and may be inconsistent from state to state or country to country. Accordingly, complying with such laws and regulations may lead to a decline in consumer engagement or cause us to incur substantial costs to modify our business practices. Moreover, regulatory actions seeking to impose significant financial penalties for noncompliance and/or legal actions (including pursuant to laws providing for private rights of action by consumers) could be brought against the Company in the event of a data compromise, misuse of consumer information or perceived or actual non-compliance with data protection, privacy or artificial intelligence requirements. The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may intensify these risks. Further, any unauthorized release of personal information could harm our reputation, disrupt our business, cause us to expend significant resources and lead to a loss of consumer confidence resulting in an adverse impact on our business.
Our business is subject to numerous national, regional, federal, state and local regulations in the various countries in which we operate, sell and/or use our products.
Our operations are subject to numerous national, regional, federal, state and local regulations governing the manufacture and sale of our products, including various vehicle and component safety and compliance standards. In various jurisdictions, governmental agencies require a manufacturer to recall and repair vehicles which contain certain hazards or defects. Any recalls of our products, voluntary or involuntary, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and could harm our reputation. Additionally, changes in policy, regulations or the imposition of additional regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our U.S. operations are also subject to federal and numerous state consumer protection and unfair trade practice laws and regulations relating to the sale, transportation and marketing of motor vehicles, including so-called “lemon laws.” U.S. federal and state, as well as various European laws and regulations, impose upon vehicle operators’ various restrictions on the weight, length and width of motor vehicles that may be operated in certain jurisdictions or on certain roadways. Certain jurisdictions also prohibit the sale of vehicles exceeding length restrictions. U.S. federal and state, as well as various European, authorities have environmental control standards relating to air, water, noise pollution and hazardous waste generation and disposal which affect our business and operations. Numerous other U.S. and European laws and regulations affect a wide range of the Company’s activities. A suggestion of or an investigation into potential violations of the laws and regulations to which our business or operations are subject could lead to significant penalties, including restraints on our export or import privileges, monetary fines, criminal or civil proceedings and regulatory or other actions that could materially adversely affect our operating results.
22
We are also subject, in the ordinary course of business, to litigation and claims arising from numerous labor and employment laws and regulations, including potential class action claims arising from alleged violations of such laws and regulations. Any liability arising from such claims would not ordinarily fall within the scope of our insurance coverages. An adverse outcome from such litigation could have a material effect on operating results.
Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control.
Certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated By-Laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders.
These provisions provide for, among other things:
•The ability of our Board of Directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock without further stockholder action;
•Advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to present matters to be considered at our annual meetings;
•Certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;
•A requirement of the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of our shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting as a single class to remove a director without cause;
•A requirement that any “business combination,” as defined in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, that has not been approved or authorized by 75% of our directors then in office be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of our shares entitled to vote generally for the election of directors, voting as a single class; and
•The prohibition on engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for three years after the time at which a person became an interested stockholder unless certain conditions are met, as set forth in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many of our stockholders. As a result, our stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.
FINANCIAL RISKS
Changes in tax rates, tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities or tariffs could have a negative impact on our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, dividend payments or strategic plans.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and international tax liabilities are dependent upon the location of earnings among, and the applicable tax rates in, these different jurisdictions. Tax rates in various jurisdictions in which we operate or sell our products may increase to fund past or future governmental programs. The United States or other governmental authorities may adjust tax rates, impose new income taxes or indirect taxes or revise interpretations of existing tax rules and regulations.
Our effective income tax rate could also be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in statutory rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. If our effective tax rate were to increase, or if the ultimate determination of our taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, our operating results, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected, which, in turn, could negatively impact the availability of cash for dividend payments or our strategic plans.
In addition, the potential for the imposition of new or additional U.S. tariffs on imports as well as potential retaliatory tariffs or other measures certain other countries may impose on U.S. imports has increased with the current U.S. federal administration. These actions could increase our cost of goods sold and negatively impact our business and operating results. We may not be able to mitigate the effects of any tariffs without negatively impacting our competitive position and customers’ demand for our products. Supply chain disruptions and delays as a result of any new tariff policies or trade restrictions could also negatively impact our cost of materials, production processes and financial results.
23
As is customary, we have executed repurchase agreements with numerous lending institutions who finance certain of our independent dealers’ purchases of our products.
In accordance with customary practice in the RV industry, upon the request of a lending institution financing an independent dealer’s purchase of our products, we will generally execute a repurchase agreement with the lending institution. Repurchase agreements provide that, typically for a period of up to 18 months after a recreational vehicle is financed and in the event of default by the dealer, we will repurchase the recreational vehicle repossessed by the lending institution for the amount then due, which is usually less than 100% of the dealer’s cost. In addition to the obligations under these repurchase agreements, we may also be required to repurchase inventory relative to dealer terminations in certain states in accordance with state laws or regulatory requirements.
The difference between the gross repurchase price and the price at which the repurchased product can then be resold, which is typically at a discount to the original sale price, is an expense to us. Thus, if we are obligated to repurchase a substantial number of recreational vehicles or incur substantial discounting to resell these units in the future, we would incur increased costs and our profit margins, results of operations and cash flows would be negatively affected. In difficult economic times, this amount could increase significantly compared to other years.
We could incur impairment charges for goodwill, intangible assets, equity investments or other long-lived assets.
We have a material amount of goodwill, intangible assets, equity investments and other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment. At least annually, we review goodwill for impairment. Long-lived assets, equity investments, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from future cash flows. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. A non-cash impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the intangible or long-lived asset, asset group or reporting unit exceeds its fair value at the time of measurement. Our determination of future cash flows, future recoverability and fair value includes significant estimates and assumptions. Changes in those estimates or assumptions or lower-than-anticipated future financial performance may result in the identification of an impaired asset and a non-cash impairment charge, which could be material. Any such charge could adversely affect our operating results.
Our business is affected by the availability and terms of financing to independent dealers and retail purchasers.
Generally, independent recreational vehicle dealers finance their purchases of inventory with financing provided by lending institutions. A decrease in the availability of this type of wholesale financing, more restrictive lending practices or high costs of such wholesale financing has historically limited or prevented independent dealers from carrying normalized levels of inventory, which led to reduced demand for our products, lower sales, higher discounts to entice sales and an adverse impact to our results of operations.
The impact of 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 higher interest rates compared to previous 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 in recent periods. Ongoing elevated interest rates or future substantial or sudden increases in interest rates and decreases in the general availability of credit could have an adverse impact on our independent dealers and therefore on our business and results of operations. A decrease in availability of consumer credit resulting from unfavorable economic conditions, or ongoing elevated interest rates or future additional increases in the cost of consumer credit, may cause consumers to reduce discretionary spending which could, in turn, reduce demand for our products and negatively affect our sales and profitability.
Two major floor plan financial institutions held approximately 50% of our products’ portion of our independent dealers’ total floored dollars outstanding at July 31, 2025. In the event that either of these lending institutions limit or discontinue dealer financing, we could experience a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
24
The Company’s debt arrangements and provisions in our debt agreements may make us more sensitive to the effects of economic downturns.
As of July 31, 2025, total gross outstanding debt was $933,812, consisting of $408,159 outstanding on our term loan facility which matures on November 15, 2030; $500,000 of Senior Unsecured Notes due October 15, 2029 and $25,653 outstanding on other debt facilities with varying maturity dates through September 2032. Our loan documents contain restrictions which could prevent or restrict, in certain circumstances, operations, payment of dividends or incurrence of additional debt. In addition, we must make mandatory prepayments of principal under the term loan agreement upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain asset sales, debt issuance and generation of annual cash flows in excess of certain amounts. Our level of debt impacts our profit before tax and cash flows as a result of the interest expense and periodic debt and interest payments. In addition, our debt level could limit our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, or increase borrowing costs on future debt if we are unable to replace existing debt with comparable new debt and may have the effect, among other things, of reducing our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions, requiring us to use a portion of our cash flows to repay indebtedness and placing us at a disadvantage compared to competitors with lower debt obligations.
Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. If we do not generate sufficient cash flows to meet our debt service, capital investment and working capital requirements, we may need to fund those requirements with additional borrowings from the asset-based credit facility (“ABL”), reduce or cease our payments of dividends, reduce our level of capital investment and/or working capital or we may need to seek additional financing or sell assets.
Availability under the ABL agreement is subject to a borrowing base calculated based on a percentage of applicable eligible receivables and eligible inventory. As such, we may not have full access to our current ABL availability based on the actual borrowing base calculation at any future period.
Changes in market liquidity conditions, credit ratings and other factors may impact our access to future funding and the cost of debt.
Significant changes in market liquidity conditions and changes in our credit ratings could impact our access to future funding, if needed, and funding costs, which could negatively impact our earnings and cash flows. If general economic conditions deteriorate or capital markets are volatile, future funding, if needed, could be unavailable or insufficient. A debt crisis, particularly in the United States or Europe, could negatively impact currencies, global financial markets, social and political stability, funding sources, availability and costs, asset and obligation values, customers, suppliers, demand for our products and our operations and financial results. Financial market conditions could also negatively impact dealer or retail customer access to capital for purchases of our products and consumer confidence and purchase decisions which could, in turn, reduce demand for our products and have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our risk management policies and procedures may not be fully effective in achieving their purposes.
There is no assurance our monitoring and oversight activities to manage our enterprise risks will be fully effective in achieving their purpose and may leave exposure to identified or unidentified risks. Past or future misconduct by our employees or vendors could result in violations of law by us, regulatory sanctions and/or serious reputational or financial harm. The Company monitors its policies, procedures and controls; however, our policies, procedures and controls may not be sufficient to prevent all forms of misconduct. We review our compensation policies and practices as part of our overall enterprise risk management program, but it is possible that our compensation policies could incentivize inappropriate risk taking or misconduct. Such inappropriate risk taking or misconduct could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or our financial condition.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT, STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE
Risk Management and Strategy
Internally, among other things, we perform penetration tests, internal tests/code reviews, and simulations using cybersecurity professionals to assess vulnerabilities in our information systems and evaluate our cyber defense capabilities. We also perform phishing and social engineering simulations with, and provide cybersecurity training for, personnel with Company e-mail and access to Company assets.
When a cybersecurity incident is detected, our response is governed by our IT Security Incident Response Policy, providing a rigorous, standardized process to ensure efficacy of the response. In general, when a cybersecurity incident is identified, our policy requires an initial review and triage of the incident. When a cybersecurity incident is determined to be significant, it is brought to the attention of a cross-functional leadership team consisting of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer and General Counsel and is addressed by that team, along with other internal stakeholders, using processes that leverage subject-matter expertise from across the Company. As with risk mitigation, we may engage third-party advisors , from time to time, as part of our incident response and management process. As part of our risk mitigation efforts, we also maintain cybersecurity insurance to defray the costs of potential information security breaches.

ITEM 3. 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 in North America (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.
A product recall was issued in late fiscal 2021 related to certain purchased parts utilized in certain of our products, and an accrual to cover anticipated costs was established at that time. During fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2025, the accrual was adjusted quarterly based on developments involving the recall, including our expectations regarding the extent of vendor reimbursements and the estimated total cost of the recall. The Company has been reimbursed by the suppliers of the products for a portion of the costs incurred related to this recall. In addition, we accrued expenses during fiscal 2022 based on developments related to an ongoing investigation by certain German-based authorities regarding the adequacy of historical disclosures of vehicle weight in advertisements and other Company-provided marketing literature in Germany. Throughout fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, this accrual was adjusted quarterly, if necessary, based on developments involving this matter. The Company fully cooperated with the investigation, which was fully resolved, and related payments were made by the end of fiscal 2024 in an amount not materially different from the adjusted amounts previously accrued.
The Company does not believe there will be a material adverse impact to our future results of operations and cash flows due to these matters.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, all Dollar and Euro amounts are presented in thousands except per share data.
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Report.
The discussion below is a comparison of the results of operations and changes in financial condition for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024. The comparison of, and changes between, the fiscal years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 can be found within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on September 24, 2024.
Executive Summary
We were founded in 1980 and have grown to become the largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) in the 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 six months ended June 30, 2025, THOR’s current combined U.S. and Canadian market share based on units was approximately 39.1% for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined and approximately 48.3% for motorhomes. In Europe, according to the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”), EHG’s current market share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 based on units was approximately 26.1% for motorcaravans and campervans combined and approximately 17.3% 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 dealers directly, but we do provide repurchase agreements to the dealers’ floor plan lenders.
We generally have financed our growth through a combination of internally generated cash flows from operations and, when needed, outside credit facilities. Capital acquisitions of $121,616 in fiscal 2025 were made primarily for purchases of land, production building additions and improvements and replacing machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for capital acquisitions by segment. The impact of 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 higher interest rates compared to recent years impacting both our independent dealers and the end consumer, had a negative impact on demand for our products at both the wholesale and retail levels during fiscal 2025, particularly in North America, and are expected to continue to impact the remainder of calendar year 2025 and into calendar 2026. These risks to our business are more fully described in Part 1, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Report.
Significant Fiscal 2025 Events
Tax Reform
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBB includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses including, but not limited to, 100% bonus depreciation, expensing of U.S.-based research and development costs, interest expense deduction limitations and changes to international tax provisions. The most relevant impact to the Company for fiscal 2025 is the 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025. The other relevant provisions of the OBBB will impact the Company in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. For fiscal year 2026, the Company will have the option to accelerate its previously capitalized and unamortized U.S. research and development costs over a one or two-year period. Changes to the international provisions will impact the Company in fiscal year 2027.

Significant Fiscal 2024 Events
Refinancing of Credit Agreements
On November 15, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to both its term loan and ABL agreements to extend maturities and lower the applicable margins used to determine the interest rate on the U.S. dollar-denominated loan tranche. 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. 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 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, the Company recognized total expense of $14,741 in fiscal 2024.
Subsequently, on July 1, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its term loan to modify the applicable margins used to determine the interest rate on both the U.S. dollar-denominated loans and Euro-denominated loans. The U.S. dollar interest rate under the amended agreement was reduced by 0.50% so that the applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”)-based loans is now 1.25% and for Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based loans is 2.25%. In addition, the applicable margin for the Euro loan interest rate was reduced by 0.25% so that the applicable margin for the EURIBOR-based loans is 2.75%.
North American RV Industry
The Company monitors industry conditions in the North American RV market using a number of resources including its own performance tracking and 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. In addition, we monitor monthly North American 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 July 31, 2025 decreased 2.3% to approximately 73,300 units from approximately 75,000 units as of July 31, 2024.
As of July 31, 2025, we believe North American dealer inventory levels for most products are generally in line with the levels that dealers are comfortable stocking given the current retail sales levels and associated carrying costs. 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 current retail activity, current RV wholesale prices as well as current interest rates and other carrying costs.
THOR’s total North American RV backlog as of July 31, 2025 increased $200,352, or 15.1%, to $1,529,634 from $1,329,282 as of July 31, 2024, with the increase driven primarily by an increase in North American Motorized backlog, which was adversely impacted at July 31, 2024 by lower retail sales and dealer and consumer concerns over higher interest costs at that time.

North American Industry Wholesale Statistics
Key wholesale statistics for the North American RV industry, as reported by RVIA for the periods indicated, are as follows:
| U.S. and Canada Wholesale Unit Shipments | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total | 190,705 | 178,596 | 12,109 | 6.8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
In September 2025, RVIA reconfirmed its June 2025 forecast for calendar year 2025 North American wholesale unit shipments. Under a most likely scenario, towable and motorized unit shipments are projected to increase to approximately 303,100 and 33,800, respectively, for an annual total of approximately 337,000 units, up 1.0% from the 2024 calendar year wholesale shipments. The RVIA most likely forecast for calendar year 2025 could range from a lower estimate of approximately 320,400 total units to an upper estimate of approximately 353,500 units.
As part of their September 2025 forecast, RVIA also issued their initial estimates for calendar year 2026 wholesale unit shipments. In the most likely scenario, towable and motorized unit shipments are projected to increase to an approximated annual total of 349,300 units, or 3.6% higher than the most likely scenario for calendar year 2025 wholesale shipments. This calendar year 2026 most likely forecast could range from a lower estimate of approximately 332,400 total units to an upper estimate of approximately 366,100 units. RVIA stated the primary reason for the forecasted increase in wholesale unit shipments during calendar year 2026 is their expectation for the RV industry to transition to a period of accelerating growth in the latter half of the calendar year, supported by improved consumer finances and anticipated dealer replenishment activity.
North American Industry Retail Statistics
We believe that retail demand is the key to growth in 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:
| U.S. and Canada Retail Unit Registrations | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Six Months Ended June 30, | Increase | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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 anticipate that near-term demand will be influenced by many factors, including consumer confidence and the level of consumer spending on discretionary products. We believe future retail demand over the longer term will grow from the current levels as consumer confidence and general economic conditions improve, as we believe interest in the RV lifestyle remains high as consumers continue to value the perceived benefits offered by the RV lifestyle, which provides people with the ability to connect with loved ones and nature as well as the potential to get away for short, frequent breaks or longer adventures.

North American Outlook
Historically, RV industry sales have been impacted by a number of economic conditions faced by RV dealers, and ultimately retail consumers, such as the level of consumer confidence, the rate of unemployment, the rate of inflation, 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 2026. In addition, due to inflationary pressures, including the impact of higher tariffs, current interest rates and other factors, we believe that RV dealers will be continuously reevaluating their desired stocking levels, which may result in lower than historical dealer inventory stocking levels on a unit basis, particularly in the fall and winter months which historically are lower retail sales periods. 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 remainder of calendar 2025 will continue to be negatively impacted by these factors.
Despite the continuing near-term challenges, we remain optimistic about the future of North American retail sales in the long term, as there are many factors driving product 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 ongoing value consumers place on these factors, we expect to see long-term growth in the North American RV industry. The growth in industry-wide RV sales during late calendar year 2020 through early calendar year 2023 resulted in exposing a wider range of consumers to the RV lifestyle. As a result, we believe many of those who have been exposed to the industry for the first time will become future owners once general economic conditions improve, and that those who became first-time owners since the onset of the pandemic will become long-term RVers, resulting in future repeat and upgrade sales opportunities. We also believe many consumers are likely to continue opting for fewer vacations via air travel, cruise ships and hotels, while 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 committed future 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.
35
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 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 recontenting, material sourcing strategies, efficiency improvements or raising the selling prices for our products by corresponding amounts. We are closely monitoring the imposition of new and higher U.S. tariffs on imports, as well as retaliatory tariffs or other measures certain other countries have already or may impose on U.S. imports, that may increase our material costs, disrupt our supply of materials or negatively impact our sales into other countries. We are currently uncertain as to the ultimate impact these measures may have given the rapidly changing environment surrounding tariffs and other related political topics. The impact of increased or new tariffs in our fiscal 2025 third and fourth quarters was relatively modest due to the timing of, and changes in, both the announced tariff rates and effective dates and our engagement with our vendors regarding the extent and timing of any resultant cost increases. We would expect additional tariff impacts on our upcoming fiscal 2026 results, but it is difficult to assess the ultimate impact they may have given the ongoing changes in tariff rates, what components will be impacted and when, plus the fact that we are often not importing products or components directly but rather through third-party vendors and therefore do not have complete visibility regarding the timing or impact on the pricing of components we purchase. We intend to continue negotiations with our vendors regarding the timing and extent of any tariff pass-through costs, and where possible, will seek alternative supply sources with lower-priced components.
Historically, we have generally been able to offset net cost increases over time, but given the size and nature of the tariffs currently in the process of being implemented and future tariffs being discussed, it may not be possible or desirable for us to pass on the full impact of tariff increases immediately as we are conscious of the impact it likely would have on the retail consumer and their demand for our products. Once a clearer and more certain picture of the tariff environment is established, we will be in a position to more fully assess the potential impact tariffs may have on our product selling prices and our operating results.
It is extremely difficult to predict when or whether future supply chain issues related to chassis or other components used in the production of RVs will arise, especially when considering the impact tariffs may have on the availability of goods. 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. Uncertainties related to changing state and federal emission standards may also negatively impact the availability of chassis used in our production of certain North American motorized RVs and could also impact consumer buying patterns. 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, the supply chain is currently able to support our demand, but that could change quickly, and with little advance notice, given the current and potential future impact tariffs and other macroeconomic or political factors may have on supply. If any of these 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.
European RV Industry
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 European Caravan Federation (“ECF”) and its members. On a monthly basis, the Company receives OEM-specific reports for most of the individual member countries that make up the ECF through the Caravaning Industrie Verband e.V. (“CIVD”). The timing of these reports may vary, but typically they are issued on a one-to-two-month lag. While most countries provide OEM-specific information, the United Kingdom, which made up 15.2% and 9.4% of the caravan and motorcaravan (including campervans) European market for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, does not provide OEM-specific information. Industry wholesale shipment data for the European RV market is not available.
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.
Independent dealer inventory of our European RV products as of July 31, 2025 was approximately 22,200 units as compared to approximately 26,200 units as of July 31, 2024. In both Germany, which accounts for approximately 60% of our European product sales, and in the other various countries we serve, independent RV dealer inventory levels of our motorized European products are generally in line with historic seasonal levels, while campervan and towable inventory is slightly elevated.
36
Our European Recreational Vehicle backlog as of July 31, 2025 decreased $425,201, or 21.8%, to $1,525,592 compared to $1,950,793 as of July 31, 2024, primarily due to improved chassis supply availability and a return to normalized dealer inventory levels at July 31, 2025.

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 assistance 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, environmental and sustainability regulations and geopolitical events, is uncertain. Our outlook for future European RV retail sales depends upon the various economic and regulatory conditions in the respective countries in which we sell our products. End-customer demand for RVs depends strongly on consumer confidence. Factors such as the rate of unemployment, the rate of inflation, private consumption and investments, the level of disposable income of consumers, interest rates, the health of the housing market, tax rates and regulatory restrictions and, since the pandemic, travel safety considerations all influence retail sales. While confidence remains in our customer base, in the short term, we expect to continue to experience downward pressure on overall sales volume due to the current macroeconomic environment. Our long-term outlook for future growth in European RV retail sales remains positive due to favorable demographic trends and as more people utilize 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.
37
We and our independent European dealers market our European recreational vehicles through multiple avenues including at numerous RV fairs at the country and regional levels which occur throughout the calendar year. These fairs have historically been well-attended events that allow retail consumers 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. The most recent major industry fair, the 2025 Caravan Salon show in September 2025, experienced near-record attendance, which demonstrates the continued high level of interest in the RV lifestyle. In addition to our attendance at various strategic trade fairs, we have and will continue to strengthen and expand our digital activities 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. Labor agreements and various governmental regulations are primary drivers in the cost of our labor force and impact how and when we can adjust our labor force to align with changing production needs. Adjusting our full-time workforce downwards in most of the locations where we operate in Europe generally results in negotiated separation costs, which may be material depending on the size of the workforce reduction. Material and labor costs are the primary factors determining our cost of products sold and any future increases in these costs could negatively impact our profit margins if we are unable to offset those costs through a combination of product recontenting, material sourcing strategies, efficiency improvements, headcount reductions or raising the selling prices for our products by corresponding amounts.
While overall chassis supply has improved, disruption in the sequence of chassis supply has in the past inhibited, and could in the future, inhibit our ability to efficiently and consistently maintain our planned production levels. Uncertainties related to changing emission standards may also negatively impact the availability of chassis and/or other components used in our production of certain European motorized RVs and could also impact consumer buying patterns.
When possible, to minimize the future impact of supply chain constraints, we have identified a second-source supplier base for certain component parts; however, engineering requirements associated with an alternate component part, particularly the chassis on which our various units are built, could limit the impact of these alternative suppliers on reducing any near-term supply constraints.
In addition to potential future material supply constraints, labor shortages have in the past impacted, and could in the future, impact our European operations given the numerous locations where our manufacturing sites are located and the differing availability of skilled labor in those locations. As previously noted, high levels of labor costs and limitations on our ability to reduce those costs commensurate with market conditions have in the past, and could in the future, negatively impact our European operations.

CONSOLIDATED
Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2025 decreased $463,918, or 4.6%, compared to fiscal 2024. The decrease in consolidated net sales is primarily due to lower current dealer and consumer demand in comparison to fiscal 2024 in the North American Motorized and European segments, partially offset by an increase in net sales from our North American Towable segment. Approximately 32% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for fiscal 2025 were transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company’s most material exchange rate exposure is sales in Euros. The $463,918, or 4.6% decrease in consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025 is net of an increase of $54,492 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 periods.
Consolidated gross profit for fiscal 2025 decreased $111,321, or 7.7%, compared to fiscal 2024. Consolidated gross profit was 14.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2025 and 14.5% for fiscal 2024. The decreases in consolidated gross profit and the consolidated gross profit percentage in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 were both primarily due to the impact of the decrease in consolidated net sales coupled with increased sales discounting.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2025 increased $27,023, or 3.0%, compared to fiscal 2024. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in certain Corporate and European selling, general and administrative expenses as discussed below. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 9.6% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2025 and 8.9% for fiscal 2024, with the increase in percentage due to the combination of the decrease in consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 and the increase in costs.
The increase in other income, net of $31,949 for fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024 includes an increase of $14,867 in the gain on the sales of property, plant and equipment in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024, primarily due to gains on the sales of certain production facilities in fiscal 2025 related to the strategic organizational restructuring of the Heartland towable operations. In addition, the fiscal 2025 other income, net total includes $12,153 of insurance income related to the weather event discussed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and an improvement in the operating results of our equity method investments of $9,331 as discussed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These favorable changes were partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange losses of $8,315 between fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.
40
Amortization of intangible assets expense for fiscal 2025 decreased $13,517, or 10.2%, to $119,027, compared to fiscal 2024 due to a reduction in dealer network amortization, which is amortized on an accelerated basis and therefore decreases over time.
The decrease of $52,653, or 15.1%, in income before income taxes for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, was primarily driven by the impact of the decrease in consolidated net sales and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses noted above.
The overall annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2025 was 13.4%, compared with 23.9% for fiscal 2024. The two primary reasons for the decrease in the overall annual effective income tax rate were the foreign tax law change in fiscal 2025 that resulted in the favorable revaluation of foreign deferred tax liabilities, and the rate was also favorably impacted by the year-over-year change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings between foreign and domestic operations, inclusive of certain foreign exchange gains not subject to taxation.
Additional information concerning the changes in net sales, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses are addressed below in the segment reporting that follows.
The $13,850 increase in Corporate expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 includes increases in compensation costs of $15,738, primarily due to employee separation costs related to certain headcount reductions in fiscal 2025, and incentive compensation of $7,854. In addition, the prior-year period included income of $17,012 related to matters discussed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These increases were partially offset by decreases in stock-based compensation expense of $7,029, legal and professional fees of $8,521 (primarily related to third-party fees of $7,175 incurred in fiscal 2024 with the debt refinancing discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), dealer promotional costs of $6,517 and repurchase costs of $3,300 related to our standby repurchase obligations reserve due to reductions in both dealer inventory levels and repurchase activity compared to the prior fiscal year.
Net expense for Corporate interest and other income and expenses decreased $45,872 in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. Net interest expense decreased by $36,198 due to lower average outstanding debt balances and lower interest rates coupled with the prior-year interest expense including debt extinguishment charges of $7,566 related to the November 2023 debt refinancing. In addition, the operating results of our equity method investments as discussed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements improved by $9,331 in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024, and there were favorable changes of $7,612 in certain other equity investments and warrants due to market value fluctuations. These favorable changes were partially offset by an unfavorable change of $2,377 in the fair value of the Company’s deferred compensation assets and an increase of $4,394 in non-cash foreign currency losses on certain Euro-denominated loans between the two periods.

| Total North American Towable | (3.3) | ||||
The increase in total North American Towable net sales of 2.9% compared to the prior fiscal year resulted from a 6.2% increase in unit shipments and a 3.3% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in product mix and price. The increase in unit shipments was primarily due to the heightened demand for the lower-cost travel trailer units as compared to the prior year. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the twelve months ended July 31, 2025, combined travel trailer and fifth wheel wholesale unit shipments increased 6.3% compared to the same period last year. According to statistics published by Stat Surveys, for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our retail market share for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined was 38.4% and 40.3%, respectively.
The decrease in the overall net price per unit within the travel trailer product line of 9.5% during fiscal 2025 was primarily due to current product mix trending toward more moderately-priced units as compared to the prior year. The increase within the fifth wheel product line of 6.6% during fiscal 2025 was primarily due to product mix changes and lower sales discounting as compared to fiscal 2024.
North American Towable cost of products sold increased $35,405 to $3,287,690, or 86.9% of North American Towable net sales, for fiscal 2025 compared to $3,252,285, or 88.4% of North American Towable net sales, for fiscal 2024. Changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $27,822 of the $35,405 increase in cost of products sold. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American Towable net sales were 78.8% for fiscal 2025 and 80.2% for fiscal 2024, with the reduction including a decrease in the material cost percentage, primarily due to lower sales discounting, and the warranty cost percentage also improved.
Total manufacturing overhead increased $7,583 in correlation with the increase in net sales and decreased slightly as a percentage of North American Towable net sales from 8.2% to 8.1%, as the increased net sales levels resulted in lower overhead costs per unit sold. Variable costs included in manufacturing overhead increased $7,746 in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 as a result of the increase in North American Towable net sales.
42
The increase of $69,590 in North American Towable gross profit for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 is driven by the increase in North American Towable net sales coupled with the increase in the gross profit percentage, which is due to the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.
The increase of $10,206 in North American Towable selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the impact of the increase in North American Towable net sales and income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, incentive and other compensation to increase by $7,679. The slight increase in the overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of North American Towable net sales is primarily due to an increase in the incentive compensation cost percentage due to the increase in income before income taxes.
The increase of $77,780 in North American Towable income before income taxes for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the increase in North American Towable net sales and the improvement in the cost of products sold percentage, as well as an increase of $14,797 in gains on the sales of property, plant and equipment primarily related to the strategic organizational restructuring of the Heartland towable operations in fiscal 2025. The primary reason for the increase in the income before income taxes percentage was the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The decrease in total North American Motorized net sales of 11.0% compared to the prior fiscal year resulted from an 8.6% decrease in unit shipments and a 2.4% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in product mix and price, which included elevated sales discounts compared to fiscal 2024. The decrease in unit shipments was primarily due to a softening in current dealer and consumer demand in comparison with the demand in the prior fiscal year. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the twelve months ended July 31, 2025, combined motorhome wholesale unit shipments decreased 11.6% compared to the same period last year. According to statistics published by Stat Surveys, for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our retail market share for motorhomes was 47.7% and 47.8%, respectively.
The decrease in the overall change in product mix and price per unit within the Class A product line of 4.5% was primarily due to product mix changes, primarily a higher concentration in fiscal 2025 of the more moderately-priced gas units as opposed to the higher-priced diesel units, in addition to higher discounting levels. The decrease in the overall net price per unit within the Class C product line of 1.8% was primarily due to higher discounting levels, and the Class B product line increase of 2.7% was primarily due to increases from product mix changes and selective net selling price increases being partially offset by higher discounting levels compared to fiscal 2024.
North American Motorized cost of products sold decreased $203,040 to $1,964,970, or 90.3% of North American Motorized net sales, for fiscal 2025 compared to $2,168,010, or 88.6% of North American Motorized net sales, for fiscal 2024. The changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $188,009 of the $203,040 decrease due to the decreased sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of motorized net sales was 84.1% for fiscal 2025 compared to 82.4% for fiscal 2024, with the increase due to an increase in the material cost percentage, primarily due to higher sales discounting and product mix changes, partially offset by a decrease in the warranty cost percentage.
44
Total manufacturing overhead decreased $15,031 with the decrease in net sales but remained the same as a percentage of North American Motorized net sales at 6.2%. Variable costs in manufacturing overhead decreased $14,829 in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 as a result of the decrease in North American Motorized net sales.
The decrease of $67,206 in North American Motorized gross profit for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was driven by the decrease in North American Motorized net sales coupled with the decrease in the gross profit percentage, which is due to the increase in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.
The decrease of $11,683 in North American Motorized selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the decreases in North American Motorized net sales and income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, incentive and other compensation to decrease by $10,911. The increase in the overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of North American Motorized net sales was primarily due to the decrease in North American Motorized net sales.
The decrease of $41,153 in North American Motorized income before income taxes for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the impact of the decrease in North American Motorized net sales, partially offset by $11,180 of insurance income recognized in fiscal 2025 as discussed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The primary reason for the decrease in the income before income taxes percentage was the increase in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The decrease in total European Recreational Vehicle net sales of 10.1% compared to the prior fiscal year resulted from a decrease of 19.7% in unit shipments and an increase of 9.6% in the overall net price per unit due to the total impact of changes in foreign currency, product mix and price. The decrease in European Recreational Vehicle net sales of $341,019 includes an increase of $54,492, or 1.7% of the net 10.1% decrease, due to the change in foreign exchange rates in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. Sales on a constant-currency basis decreased by 11.8%.
The overall net price per unit increase of 9.6% includes an increase of 1.7% due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and a constant-currency increase of 7.9% due to the combined impact of product mix and selling price increases, primarily due to the much higher concentration of Motorcaravan sales in the current-year period due primarily to improved supply of chassis and other components in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024 and the continued trend of consumer preference toward Motorcaravans.
The constant-currency decreases in the Motorcaravan product line of 0.3% and in the Caravan product line of 1.9% were both primarily due to the impact of increased sales discounting. The constant-currency increase in the overall net price per unit within the Campervan product line of 8.3% was primarily due to fiscal 2025 including a higher concentration of Campervan units with a purchased chassis that is included in the unit sales price as opposed to a customer-supplied chassis that is not included in the unit sales price.

European Recreational Vehicle cost of products sold decreased $220,127 to $2,563,642, or 84.8% of European Recreational Vehicle net sales, for fiscal 2025 compared to $2,783,769, or 82.7% of European Recreational Vehicle net sales, for fiscal 2024. Changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $221,246 of the $220,127 decrease. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of European Recreational Vehicle net sales increased to 73.4% for fiscal 2025 compared to 72.5% for fiscal 2024 with the increase primarily due to an increase in the material cost percentage due to increased sales discounting.
Total manufacturing overhead increased a slight $1,119 but increased as a percentage of European Recreational Vehicle net sales from 10.2% to 11.4% primarily due to the net sales decrease resulting in higher overhead costs per unit sold.
The decrease of $120,892 in European Recreational Vehicle gross profit for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the decrease in European Recreational Vehicle net sales coupled with the decrease in gross profit percentage, which was primarily due to the increases in both the material and manufacturing overhead cost percentages noted above.
The $8,241 increase in European Recreational Vehicle selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to a total of $6,686 in employee separation costs and an increase in repurchase and dealer financing costs of $7,033. These increases were partially offset by the impact of the decrease in European Recreational Vehicle net sales and income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, incentive and other compensation to decrease by $5,066. The increase in the overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of European Recreational Vehicle net sales was primarily due to the decrease in European Recreational Vehicle net sales.
The decrease of $129,743 in European Recreational Vehicle income before income taxes for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the impact of the 10.1% decrease in European Recreational Vehicle net sales. The primary reasons for the decrease in the income before income taxes percentage were the increases in both the cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expense percentages noted above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2025, we had $586,596 in cash and cash equivalents, of which $412,088 is held in the United States and the equivalent of $174,508, predominantly in Euros, is held in Europe, compared to $501,316 on July 31, 2024, of which $373,031 was held in the United States and the equivalent of $128,285, predominantly in Euros, was held in Europe. Cash and cash equivalents held internationally may be subject to foreign withholding taxes if repatriated to the United States. The components of the $85,280 increase in cash and cash equivalents are described in more detail below, but the increase was primarily attributable to cash provided by operations of $577,923 less cash used in financing activities of $426,306 and cash used in investing activities of $64,465.
Net working capital at July 31, 2025 was $1,193,279 compared to $1,083,005 at July 31, 2024. Capital expenditures of $122,987 for fiscal 2025 were made primarily for production building additions and improvements and replacing machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business.
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 $840,000 at July 31, 2025. We believe our on-hand cash and cash equivalents and funds generated from operations, along with funds available under the revolving asset-based credit facility, will be sufficient to fund expected operational requirements for the foreseeable future.
Our priorities for the use of current and future available cash generated from operations remain consistent with our history, and include reducing our indebtedness, maintaining and, over time, growing our dividend payments and funding our growth, both organically and, opportunistically, through acquisitions. We may also consider strategic and opportunistic repurchases of shares of THOR stock under the share repurchase authorizations as discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and special dividends based upon market and business conditions and excess cash availability, subject to potential customary limits and restrictions pursuant to our credit facilities, applicable legal limitations and determination by the Company's Board of Directors ("Board"). We believe our on-hand cash and cash equivalents and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to fund expected cash dividend payments and share repurchases for the foreseeable future.
Our current estimate of committed and internally approved capital spend for fiscal 2026 is $225,000, primarily for certain building projects as well as replacing and upgrading machinery, equipment and other assets throughout our facilities to be used in the ordinary course of business. We anticipate approximately two-thirds will be in North America and one-third in Europe, and that these expenditures will be funded by cash provided by our operating activities.
47
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. The conditions for the payment of dividends under the existing debt facilities include a minimum level of adjusted excess cash availability and a fixed charge coverage ratio test, both as defined in the credit agreements. The declaration of future dividends and the establishment of the per share amounts, record dates and payment dates for any such future dividends are subject to the determination of the Board, and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows and other factors, in addition to compliance with any then-existing financing facilities.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2025 was $577,923 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $545,548 for fiscal 2024.
For fiscal 2025, net income adjusted for non-cash items (primarily depreciation, amortization of intangibles, deferred income tax benefit and stock-based compensation) provided $512,046 of operating cash. The change in net working capital provided additional operating cash of $65,877 during fiscal 2025, primarily due to an increase in accounts payable from extending vendor payment terms on certain raw material purchases, partially offset by required income tax payments exceeding the income tax provisions for fiscal 2025.
For fiscal 2024, net income adjusted for non-cash items (primarily depreciation, amortization of intangibles, deferred income tax benefit and stock-based compensation) provided $564,153 of operating cash. The change in net working capital used operating cash of $18,605 during fiscal 2024, primarily due to a reduction in inventory levels being more than offset by a decrease in accounts payable associated with the decrease in inventory levels, required income tax payments exceeding the income tax provision for fiscal 2024 and a decrease in certain accrued liabilities as a result of the reduction in sales and production compared to fiscal 2023.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2025 was $64,465, primarily due to capital expenditures of $122,987 being partially offset by proceeds from the dispositions of property, plant and equipment of $63,305.
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2024 was $146,812, primarily due to capital expenditures of $139,635.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2025 was $426,306, primarily for debt payments on the term-loan credit facilities of $205,000 and on other debt of 31,993 as well as regular quarterly dividend payments of $0.50 per share for each quarter of fiscal 2025 totaling $106,130, and $52,647 was used for treasury share repurchases.
Net cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2024 was $337,677, including borrowings of $113,502 on the asset-based credit facility for temporary working capital needs and subsequent payments of $111,555 on the asset-based credit facility. In addition, borrowings of $186,723 were made in connection with the debt refinancing discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and payments totaling $340,619 were made on the term-loan credit facilities, of which $127,626 was paid in connection with the debt refinancing. Additionally, the Company made regular quarterly cash dividend payments of $0.48 per share for each quarter of fiscal 2024 totaling $102,137, and $68,387 was used for treasury share repurchases.
The Company increased its previous regular quarterly dividend of $0.48 per share to $0.50 per share in October 2024. The Company increased its previous regular quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share to $0.48 per share in October 2023.

Application of Critical Accounting Estimates
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s significant accounting policies.
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. We believe that of our accounting estimates, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:
49
Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill results from the excess of purchase price over the net assets of an acquired business. The Company’s reporting units are generally the same as its operating segments, which are identified in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually as of May 31 of each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. The total carrying value of goodwill as of July 31, 2025 is $1,841,118. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of changes in carrying value by fiscal year and reportable segment. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to that excess is recognized, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. As part of the annual impairment testing, the Company may utilize a qualitative approach rather than a quantitative approach to determine if an impairment exists, considering various factors including industry changes, actual results as compared to forecasted results, or the timing of a recent acquisition, if applicable.
For the Company’s May 31, 2025 annual impairment test, certain reporting units showed fair value exceeding carrying value by less than 25%. The aggregate value of goodwill in these reporting units is approximately 75% of the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance. Fair values are determined using discounted cash flow models, and these estimates are subject to significant management judgment, including the determination of many factors and inputs such as, but not limited to, sales growth rates, gross margin patterns, cost growth rates, terminal value assumptions and discount rates developed using market observable inputs and consideration of risk regarding future performance. Market multiples derived from selected guideline public companies are also utilized to evaluate the discounted cash flow models. Changes in any of these estimates can have a significant impact on the determination of fair value. Additionally, market data and factors outside the Company’s control, such as interest rates, dealer and end consumer demand, consumer preferences or unexpected competition could have a significant impact on estimated fair values. Changes in any of these estimates or other factors could potentially result in future material impairments in one or more of the Company’s reporting units.
The Company’s intangible assets are dealer networks, trademarks and design technology and other intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions. Dealer networks are valued on a Discounted Cash Flow method and are amortized on an accelerated basis over 12 to 20 years, with amortization beginning after any applicable backlog amortization is completed. Trademarks and design technology assets are both valued on a Relief of Royalty method and are both amortized on a straight-line basis, using lives of 15 to 25 years for trademarks and 10 to 15 years for design technology assets, respectively. Amortizable intangible assets, net as of July 31, 2025 totaled $758,758. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the components of that balance.
We review our tangible and intangible long-lived assets (individually or in a related group, as appropriate) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable from future cash flows attributable to the assets. We continually assess whether events or changes in circumstances represent a ‘triggering’ event that would require us to complete an impairment assessment. Factors that we consider in determining whether a triggering event has occurred include, among other things, whether there has been a significant adverse change in legal factors, business climate or competition related to the operation of the asset, whether there has been a significant decrease in actual or expected operating results related to the asset and whether there are current plans to sell or dispose of the asset. The determination of whether a triggering event has occurred is subject to significant management judgment, including at which point or fiscal quarter a triggering event has occurred when the relevant adverse factors persist over extended periods.
The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2025, and no impairment was identified. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding goodwill and intangible assets.
50
Product Warranty
We generally provide retail customers of our products with either a one-year or two-year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, with longer warranties on certain structural components or other items. We record a liability, which totaled $291,130 at July 31, 2025, based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle unpaid existing claims and estimated future claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors we use in estimating the warranty liability include a history of retail sold units, existing THOR units in dealer inventory, historical average costs per unit incurred and a profile of the distribution of warranty expenditures over the warranty period. A significant increase in service shop rates, the cost of parts or the frequency of claims could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period or periods in which such additional claims or costs materialize. Management believes that the warranty liability is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserves.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates as well as inflation. At times, the Company enters into hedging transactions to mitigate certain of these risks in accordance with guidelines established by the Company’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 has used foreign currency forward contracts to manage certain foreign exchange rate exposure related to anticipated sales transactions in Pound 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 $373,812 of debt denominated in Euros at July 31, 2025. A hypothetical 10% change in the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate would change our July 31, 2025 debt balance by an estimated $37,381.
INTEREST RATE RISK – In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates that could affect our results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to interest rate risks through our regular operations and financing activities. Based on our assumption of the Company’s floating-rate debt levels over the next 12 months, a one-percentage-point increase in interest rates (approximately 19.6% of our weighted-average interest rate at July 31, 2025) would result in an estimated $4,138 reduction in income before income taxes over a one-year period.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK – The Company is subject to market risk from fluctuating market prices for certain purchased raw materials, including steel and aluminum, and we purchase component parts containing various commodities as well which are integrated into our manufactured products. While such materials are typically available through multiple suppliers, commodity raw materials are inherently subject to price fluctuations and could impact our results of operations. As part of its normal ongoing operations, the Company negotiates with suppliers regarding the timing and extent of any commodity price increases.

None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Part A – Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Securities 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, the Company’s 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 the Company’s management necessarily 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 the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Part B – Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and members of our Board of Directors and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025 using the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, management believes that as of July 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. The report appears in Part D of this Item 9A.
Part C – Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended July 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated September 24, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of THOR Industries, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of THOR Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 24, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Goodwill—Airxcel Reporting Unit—Refer to Notes 1 and 6 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. The Company typically utilizes a quantitative assessment to test for impairment, which involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair values are determined using discounted cash flow models, and these estimates are subject to significant management judgment, including the determination of many factors and inputs such as, but not limited to, sales growth rates, gross margin patterns, cost growth rates, terminal value assumptions and discount rates developed using market observable inputs and consideration of risk regarding future performance. The implied valuation multiples from the discounted cash flow models are also assessed relative to market multiples derived from selective guideline public companies to evaluate the reasonableness of the discounted cash flow model results. Changes in any of these estimates can have a significant impact on the determination of cash flows and fair value and could potentially result in future material impairments. The goodwill balance was $1,841 million as of July 31, 2025, of which $392 million was allocated to the Airxcel reporting unit. As a result of the assessment performed by the Company during the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company concluded that the fair value of the Airxcel reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and that there was no impairment of Airxcel reporting unit goodwill.
We identified the valuation of goodwill for the Airxcel reporting unit as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit and the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and its carrying value. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s sales growth rates and the selection of the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the sales growth rates and discount rate used by management to estimate the fair value of the Airxcel reporting unit included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s determination of the reporting unit’s fair value, including controls related to sales growth rates and management’s selection of the discount rate.
•We evaluated the reasonableness of the sales growth rates by comparing forecasted sales to historical operating results, internal information communicated to management and the Board of Directors, external data encompassing the recreational vehicle industry, and information furnished to the public by the Company, its peers, and analysts following the Company and the industry.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rate, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing the range to the discount rate selected by management.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the Years Ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
(All Dollar and Euro amounts are presented in thousands, except share and per share data or as otherwise specified)
1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 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”) by units sold and revenue. The Company manufactures a wide variety of RVs 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 Company’s business activities are primarily comprised of three distinct operations, which include the design, manufacture and sale of North American Towable Recreational Vehicles, North American Motorized Recreational Vehicles and European Recreational Vehicles, with the European vehicles including both towable and motorized products as well as other RV-related products and services. Accordingly, the Company has presented financial information for these three segments in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of THOR Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates all majority-owned subsidiaries, and all intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The results of any companies acquired during a year are included in the consolidated financial statements for the applicable year from the effective date of the acquisition.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Key estimates include the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities, reserves for inventory, incurred but not reported medical claims, warranty claims, dealer promotional accruals, workers’ compensation claims, vehicle repurchases, uncertain tax positions, product and non-product litigation and assumptions made in asset impairment assessments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company believes that such estimates are made using consistent and appropriate methods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The fair value of long-term debt is discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inventories – Inventories are primarily determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis, with the remainder on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for inventories determined based on LIFO, which are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Manufacturing costs included in inventory include materials, labor, freight-in and manufacturing overhead. Unallocated overhead and abnormal costs are expensed as incurred.
F-7
Depreciation – Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements – 10 to 39 years
Machinery and equipment – 3 to 10 years
Rental vehicles – 6 years
Depreciation expense is recorded in cost of products sold, except for $25,420 , $24,240 and $26,999 in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which relates primarily to office buildings and office equipment and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Business Combinations – The Company accounts for the acquisition of a business using the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributed to noncontrolling interests, are recorded at the acquisition date at their fair values. Assigning fair values requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, inventory, property, plant and equipment, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, and liabilities, such as uncertain tax positions and contingencies. The Company may refine these estimates, if necessary, over a period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, by taking into consideration new information that, if known at the acquisition date, would have affected the fair values ascribed to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill – Goodwill results from the excess of purchase price over the net assets of an acquired business. The Company’s reporting units are generally the same as its operating segments, which are identified in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually as of May 31 of each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to that excess is recognized, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
Insurance Reserves – Generally, the Company is self-insured for workers’ compensation, products liability and group medical insurance. Upon the exhaustion of the applicable deductibles or retentions, the Company maintains insurance coverage. Under these plans, liabilities are recognized for claims incurred, including those incurred but not reported. The liability for workers’ compensation claims is determined by the Company with the assistance of a third-party administrator and actuary using various state statutes and historical claims experience. Group medical reserves are estimated using historical claims experience. The Company has established a liability for product liability and personal injury occurrences based on historical data, known cases and actuarial information.
Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied. The Company’s recreational vehicle and other sales contracts have a single performance obligation of providing the promised goods (recreational vehicles or component parts, as applicable), which is satisfied when control of the goods is transferred to the customer.
For recreational vehicle sales, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation has been satisfied and control of the product is transferred to the dealer, which generally aligns with shipping terms. Shipping terms vary depending on regional contracting practices. U.S. customers primarily contract under FOB shipping point terms. European customers generally contract on ExWorks (“EXW”) incoterms (meaning the seller fulfills its obligation to deliver when it makes goods available at its premises, or another specified location, for the buyer to collect). Under EXW incoterms, the performance obligation is satisfied and control is transferred at the point when the customer is notified that the vehicle is available for pickup. Customers do not have a right of return. Most warranties provided are assurance-type warranties.
F-8
In addition to recreational vehicle sales, the Company also sells specialized component parts and aluminum extrusions to RV original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket sales through dealers and retailers. The Company’s European recreational vehicle reportable segment also sells accessory items and provides repair services through our two owned dealerships. Each part or item represents a distinct performance obligation satisfied when control of the good is transferred to the customer. Service and repair contracts with customers are short term in nature and are recognized when the service is complete.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the Company’s products and services. The amount of revenue recognized includes adjustments for any variable consideration, such as sales discounts, sales allowances, promotions, rebates and other sales incentives which are included in the transaction price and allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling price. The Company estimates variable consideration based on the expected value of total consideration to which customers are likely to be entitled to based primarily on historical experience and current market conditions. Included in the estimate is an assessment as to whether any variable consideration is constrained. Revenue estimates are adjusted at the earlier of a change in the expected value of consideration or when the consideration becomes fixed. During fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, adjustments to revenue from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods, which relate primarily to changes in estimated variable consideration, were immaterial.
Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling activities are included in net sales. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities, and these costs are predominantly included in cost of products sold. We do not disclose information about the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations at period end because our contracts generally have original expected durations of one year or less. In addition, we expense when incurred contract acquisition costs, primarily sales commissions, because the amortization period, which is aligned with the contract term, is one year or less.
Foreign Currency – The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and, for revenues and expenses, the weighted-average exchange rate for each applicable period, and the resulting translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss), net of tax. Transaction gains and losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes are recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Income Taxes – The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The actual outcome of these future tax consequences could differ from our estimates and have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50 % likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the Company has to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, voluntary settlements and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.
Judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances must be considered due to the uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets. The Company assesses whether valuation allowances should be established against our deferred tax assets on a tax jurisdictional basis based on the consideration of all available evidence, including cumulative income over recent periods, using a more likely than not standard.
F-9
Stock-Based Compensation – The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of stock-based awards, including restricted stock units and performance stock units, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally three years , while some stock-based awards use a graded vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures, which is based on historical forfeiture rates over the vesting period of employee awards.

Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”) “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which requires additional disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, or the annual report for fiscal 2025 for the Company, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, or interim periods starting in fiscal 2026 for the Company. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective July 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, requiring enhancements and further transparency to certain income tax disclosures. Under this ASU, entities must disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. The new standard also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. ASU 2023-09 is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2026 beginning on August 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” as updated by ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date”, issued in January 2025. This guidance provides updates to qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements over the disaggregation of relevant expense captions within the income statement to provide more transparency and useful information on expenses within the income statement including tabular presentation of prescribed expense categories such as the purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and inclusion of other specific expense, gains and losses required by existing GAAP with reconciliation of disaggregation to the face of the income statement. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year ending July 31, 2028. We are currently evaluating the impact the guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements.

2.BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net sales, gross profit and income (loss) before income taxes to measure performance of the Company’s segments, allocate resources and make operating decisions. The CODM regularly evaluates these financial measures compared to prior year and forecasted results. Income (loss) before income taxes is utilized during the Company’s budgeting and forecasting process to assess segment profitability and enable decision making regarding strategic initiatives, capital investments and other resources. The Company has three reportable segments, all related to recreational vehicles: (1) North American Towable Recreational Vehicles, (2) North American Motorized Recreational Vehicles and (3) European Recreational Vehicles.
The North American Towable Recreational Vehicles reportable segment consists of the following operating segments that have been aggregated: Airstream (towable), Heartland (which will be reported as a component of Jayco (towable) beginning in fiscal 2026), Jayco (towable), Keystone and KZ. The North American Motorized Recreational Vehicles reportable segment consists of the following operating segments that have been aggregated: Airstream (motorized), Jayco (motorized), Thor Motor Coach and the Tiffin Group. The European Recreational Vehicles reportable segment consists solely of the EHG business. EHG manufactures a full line of motorized and towable recreational vehicles, including motorcaravans, campervans, urban vehicles and caravans in nine primary RV production locations within Europe. EHG produces and sells numerous brands primarily within Europe, including Buccaneer, Buerstner, Carado, CrossCamp, Dethleffs, Elddis, Eriba, Etrusco, Hymer, Laika, LMC, Niesmann+Bischoff, Sunlight and Xplore. In addition, EHG’s operations include other RV-related products and services.
The operations of the Company’s Airxcel and Postle subsidiaries are included in “Other”. Net sales included in Other related primarily to the sale of specialized component parts and aluminum extrusions. Intercompany eliminations primarily adjust for Postle and Airxcel sales to the Company’s North American Towables and North American Motorized segments, which are consummated at established transfer prices generally consistent with the selling prices of products to third parties.
Corporate results include items such as corporate governance expenses, interest expense and other product development expenses.
Other expense (income) includes the gains or losses on the sales of fixed assets, foreign currency changes and equity method investment gains and losses, as well as market value changes in the Company's deferred compensation plan assets and other non-operational items such as insurance gains or losses as discussed in Note 19.
Total assets include those assets used in the operation of each reportable and non-reportable segment, and the Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, deferred income taxes, deferred compensation plan assets, equity and other investments and certain Corporate real estate holdings primarily utilized by THOR’s U.S.-based operating subsidiaries.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3.DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
At times, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward contracts and certain non-derivative financial instruments to help manage its risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company records derivatives as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a derivative is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.
As of July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024 there were no derivative instruments designated as hedges, except for the net investment hedge discussed below.
Net Investment Hedge
The Company designates a portion of its outstanding Euro-denominated term loan tranche as a hedge of foreign currency exposures related to investments the Company has in certain Euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries.
The foreign currency transaction gains and losses on the portion of the Euro-denominated term loan designated and effective as a hedge of the Company's net investment in its Euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries are included as a component of the foreign currency translation adjustment. Gains (losses), net of tax, included in the foreign currency translation adjustment were $(3,296 ), $7,375 and $(27,211 ) for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025, July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively.
There were no
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company has certain other derivative instruments which have not been designated as hedges. These other derivative instruments had a notional amount totaling approximately $31,820 and a fair value asset of $9,675 as of July 31, 2025. The July 31, 2025 amount includes warrants to purchase shares, which is discussed further in Note 10. These other derivative instruments had a notional amount totaling approximately $22,333 and a fair value liability of $1,137 as of July 31, 2024. For these derivative instruments, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
The total amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income due to changes in the fair value of the following derivative instruments for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

During fiscal years 2024 and 2023 the amount of inventories in certain LIFO pools decreased and resulted in the liquidation of LIFO inventory layers carried at lower costs. The effect of these liquidations was to increase consolidated net income before income taxes in fiscal 2024 by approximately $29,200 , with $23,900 in the North American Motorized segment and the remainder in the North American Towable segment, and to increase consolidated net income before income taxes in fiscal 2023 by approximately $8,300 , all in the North American Towable segment.

7.EQUITY INVESTMENTS
Effective December 30, 2022, the Company entered into a Subscription and Contribution Agreement 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
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 the Company recognized in Other income, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in fiscal 2023.
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. 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. Similarly, the Company holds an additional investment that is also a VIE over which the Company has significant influence. This is also reported as a component of Equity investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

| Maximum exposure to loss | $ | $ | ||||||
The Company’s share of income and losses accounted for under the equity method of accounting are included in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The losses recognized in the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025, July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 were $3,775 , $13,106 and $10,130 , respectively.
8.CONCENTRATION OF RISK
9.EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Substantially all non-highly compensated U.S. employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan according to a matching formula determined by each operating subsidiary. Total expense for the plan was $5,403 in fiscal 2025, $4,840 in fiscal 2024 and $5,179 in fiscal 2023.
The Company has established a deferred compensation plan for highly compensated U.S. employees who are not eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. This plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation and the Company then invests the funds in a combination of corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) and mutual fund investments held by the Company. The employee deferrals and the results and returns of the investments selected by the participants, which totaled $146,064 at July 31, 2025 and $130,218 at July 31, 2024, are recorded as Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investments held by the Company are accounted for at cash surrender value for COLI and at fair value for mutual fund investments. Both types of company-owned assets, which in total approximate the same value as the plan liabilities, are reported as Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the value of the plan assets are reflected within Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Changes in the value of the liability are reflected within Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company does not make matching contributions to the deferred compensation plan.
10.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities using a three-level hierarchy, as prescribed in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” as defined below:
•Level 1 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and are the most observable.
•Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted market prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 inputs are not observable, are supported by little or no market activity and include management’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
F-21
The financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024 are as follows:
| Input Level | July 31, 2025 | July 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Cash equivalents | Level 1 | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||
| Deferred compensation plan mutual fund assets | Level 1 | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||
| Equity investments | Level 1 | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||
| Interest rate swap liabilities, net | Level 2 | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||
| Warrants to purchase shares | Level 2 | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||
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 Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 interest rate swaps is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the applicable observable yield curves.
Warrants to purchase shares represent certain warrants to purchase common and preferred shares of a non-public company that is not actively traded. Fair value is determined based upon prices paid by investors for the same or similar securities. These warrants are reported as a component of Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
11.PRODUCT WARRANTY
The Company generally provides retail customers of its products with a - or two-year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, with longer warranties on certain structural components. The Company records a liability based on its best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors used in estimating the warranty liability include a history of retail units sold, existing dealer inventory, average cost incurred and a profile of the distribution of warranty expenditures over the warranty period. Actual claims incurred could differ from estimates, requiring adjustments to the liabilities.
Changes in our product warranty liabilities during the indicated periods are as follows:

The Company is a party to a term loan agreement, which includes both a United States dollar-denominated term loan tranche (“USD term loan”) and a Euro-denominated term loan tranche (“Euro term loan”) and a $1,000,000 asset-based credit facility (“ABL”). Since originally entering these loans, the Company has entered into various amendments to extend maturities, lower interest rates and make other minor modifications. Key provisions of the current agreements and the nature of recent amendments are described below.
On November 15, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to both its term loan and ABL agreements to extend maturities and lower the applicable margins used to determine the interest rate on the USD term loan. Pursuant to the November 15, 2023 term loan amendments, the applicable margin used to determine the interest rate on USD term loan was reduced by 0.25 % so that the applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”)-based loans was 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 of 3.00 % was not changed with this amendment. 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 were not materially changed. 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 . The applicable margin, covenants and other material provisions of the ABL remain materially unchanged.
The November 15, 2023 debt amendments noted above were evaluated on a creditor-by-creditor basis pursuant to the requirements in ASC 470-50 related to syndicated loan arrangements. Extinguishment accounting was applied to the creditors
that were deemed to have a substantial difference in terms based on an analysis of the present values of cash flows before and
after the amendments. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded expense of $14,741 in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. $7,566 of this $14,741 expense was classified as interest expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and primarily represents extinguishment charges, while the remaining $7,175 was classified as administrative expense and primarily represents third-party costs attributed to the modified loans. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 the Company capitalized qualifying financing-related costs of $10,480 related to these amendments which will be amortized over the remaining term of the amended agreements subject to acceleration for early term loan principal payments.
On July 1, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the term loan to modify the applicable margins used to determine the interest rate on both the USD term loan and the Euro term loan. USD term loan interest under the amended agreement was reduced by 0.50 % so that the applicable margin for ABR-based loans is now 1.25 % and for SOFR-based loans is 2.25 %. The applicable margin for the Euro term loan was also reduced by 0.25 % so that the applicable margin for the EURIBOR-based loans is 2.75 %. The November 15, 2030 maturity date for the term loan remains unchanged. The covenants and other provisions of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged. The costs associated with this repricing amendment were not material.
Under the term loan, required annual principal payments of 1.00 0.25
F-23
The Company must make mandatory prepayments of principal under the term loan agreement upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain asset sales, debt issuances and receipt of annual cash flows in excess of certain amounts. No such specified events occurred during fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024. The Company may, at its option, prepay any borrowings under the term loan, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty (except in certain circumstances).
As of July 31, 2025, the outstanding USD term loan balance of $60,000 was subject to a SOFR-based rate totaling 6.61 %. As of July 31, 2024, the outstanding USD term loan balance of $265,000 was subject to a SOFR-based rate totaling 7.59 %. The total interest rate on the July 31, 2025 outstanding Euro term loan tranche balance of $348,159 was 4.65 %, and the total interest rate on the July 31, 2024 outstanding Euro term loan balance of $329,361 was 6.35 %.
As of July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024 there were no
Availability under the ABL agreement is subject to a borrowing base based on a percentage of applicable eligible receivables and eligible inventory. The ABL currently carries interest at an annual base rate plus 0.25 % to 0.50 %, or EURIBOR plus 1.25 % to 1.50 %, or SOFR plus 1.35 % to 1.60 %, based on adjusted excess availability as defined in the ABL agreement. This agreement also includes a 0.20 % unused facility fee.
The ABL contains a financial covenant which requires the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.0 X, although the covenant is only applicable when adjusted excess availability falls below a threshold of the greater of a) 10 % of the lesser of the borrowing base availability or the revolver line total, or b) $60,000 . Up to $80,000 of the ABL is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and up to $100,000 is available for swing-line loans. The Company may also increase commitments under the ABL by up to $200,000 by obtaining additional commitments from lenders and adhering to certain other conditions.
The unused availability under the ABL is generally available to the Company for general operating purposes, and based on July 31, 2025 eligible receivable and inventory balances and net of amounts drawn, if any, totaled approximately $840,000 .
On October 14, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 of 4.000 % Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029 (“Senior Unsecured Notes”). The Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on October 15, 2029 unless redeemed or repurchased earlier. Net proceeds from the Senior Unsecured Notes, along with cash on hand, were used to repay $500,000 of borrowings then outstanding on the Company’s ABL and for certain transaction costs. Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable in semi-annual installments on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Senior Unsecured Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, and effectively junior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness.
The unsecured note of 5,000 Euro ($5,723 ) at July 31, 2025 relates to long-term debt of our European segment and has an interest rate of 2.53 % and matures in March 2028. Other debt relates primarily to real estate loans with varying maturity dates through September 2032 and interest rates ranging from 2.38 % to 2.41 %.

For fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, interest expense on total long-term debt was $61,222 , $99,970 and $92,977 , respectively. These interest expense amounts include amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs of $7,342 , $10,708 and $11,455 for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, fiscal 2024 interest expense included the debt extinguishment charges noted above.

The fair value of the Company’s term-loan debt at July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024 was $410,124 and $597,334 , respectively, and the fair value of the Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes at July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024 was $469,100 and $450,450 , respectively. The fair value of all other debt held by the Company approximates carrying value. The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt are primarily estimated using Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC 820, based on quoted prices in markets that are not active.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBB includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses including, but not limited to, 100% bonus depreciation, expensing of U.S.-based research and development costs, interest expense deduction limitations and changes to international tax provisions. The most relevant impact to the Company for fiscal year 2025 is the 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025. The other relevant provisions of the OBBB will impact the Company in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. For fiscal year 2026, the Company will have the option to accelerate its previously capitalized and unamortized U.S. research and development costs over a one- or two-year period. Changes to the international provisions will impact the Company in fiscal year 2027.

The effect of the foreign tax law change of $15,314 noted above is due to revaluing the July 31, 2025 deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities associated with our German operations as a result of Germany passing legislation in July 2025 reducing its corporate income tax rate in the coming years.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowances recorded at July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024 relate to certain state and foreign net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards, state tax credit carryforwards, other assets in foreign jurisdictions and certain disallowed state interest carryforwards.
As of July 31, 2025, the Company had $15,600 of deferred tax assets related to NOL carryforwards in certain foreign jurisdictions that will expire from fiscal 2026 or be carried forward indefinitely, of which $9,678 has been fully reserved with a valuation allowance, and the remaining amount the Company expects to realize. In addition, the Company has $1,409 of tax-affected U.S. state tax NOL carryforwards that expire from fiscal 2026 to 2045, of which $646 has been fully reserved with a valuation allowance and $615 has no deferred tax asset or valuation allowance recorded since there is no expectation of future realization. The Company has a deferred tax asset related to disallowed interest carryforwards of $18,807 in foreign jurisdictions, which it expects to fully realize, and $1,848 of deferred tax assets related to U.S. state disallowed interest and credit carryforwards, on which a full $1,848 valuation allowance is recorded.
With the exception of foreign subsidiary investment basis differences not attributable to un-repatriated foreign earnings, we consider all of our undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as of July 31, 2025, to not be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States, with the exception of those unremitted earnings associated with several European jurisdictions. As of July 31, 2025, the related income tax cost of the repatriation of foreign earnings was not material.
The benefits of tax positions reflected on income tax returns but whose outcome remains uncertain are only recognized for financial accounting purposes if they meet minimum recognition thresholds. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would have impacted the Company’s effective tax rate were $8,027 for fiscal 2025, $8,614 for fiscal 2024 and $11,106 for fiscal 2023.

Within the next 12 months, the Company does not anticipate any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits as of July 31, 2025.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under a federal income tax exam for fiscal year 2022 and by certain foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years ended 2016 through 2021. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its exposure to additional payments for uncertain tax positions in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

14.CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for certain independent dealers of certain of its RV products. These arrangements, which are customary in the RV industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to dealers in the event of default by the dealer on their agreement to pay the financial institution. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product and predefined curtailment arrangements. The Company typically resells the repurchased product at a discount from its repurchase price. The risk of loss from these agreements is spread over numerous dealers. In addition to the guarantee under these repurchase agreements, the Company may also be required to repurchase inventory relative to dealer terminations in certain states in accordance with state laws or regulatory requirements. The repurchase activity related to dealer terminations in certain states has historically not been material in relation to our repurchase obligation with financial institutions.
The Company’s total commercial commitments under standby repurchase obligations on dealer inventory financing as of July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024 were $3,484,235 and $3,642,137 , respectively. The commitment term is generally up to eighteen months .
The Company accounts for the guarantee under repurchase agreements of dealers’ financing by deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee at inception. This deferred amount is included in the repurchase and guarantee reserve balances of $17,508 and $14,356 as of July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, respectively, which are included in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2023 were not 7,107 . Estimating the timing and volume of any potential future repurchase demands, and the related losses to the Company, is difficult and subject to uncertainty. As of July 31, 2025, the Company is not aware of any specific information that would indicate future losses under these agreements would 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 believe the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims against the Company will 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.
A product recall was issued in late fiscal 2021 related to certain purchased parts utilized in certain of our products, and an accrual to cover anticipated costs was established at that time. Starting in fiscal 2022, the accrual has been adjusted quarterly based on developments involving the recall, including our expectations regarding the extent of vendor reimbursements and the estimated total cost of the recall. The Company has been, and will continue to be, reimbursed for a portion of the costs it will incur related to this recall. Based on current available information, the Company does not believe there will be a material adverse impact to our future results of operations and cash flows due to this ongoing product recall issue.
F-28
In addition, the Company recorded a contingent liability during fiscal 2022 based on developments related to an investigation by certain German-based authorities regarding the adequacy of historical disclosures of vehicle weight in advertisements and other Company-provided literature in Germany. Throughout fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, this accrual was adjusted quarterly, if necessary, based on developments involving this matter. The Company fully cooperated with the investigation, which was fully resolved and related payments made by the end of fiscal 2024 in an amount not materially different from the adjusted amounts previously accrued.
In fiscal 2025, there was no material impact on the Company's results of operations related to these two matters. In fiscal 2024, the Company recognized income of $17,979 as a component of selling, general and administrative expense related to these two matters. In fiscal 2023, the net impact on the Company's results of operations related to these two matters was not material.
15.LEASES
The Company has operating leases primarily for land, buildings and equipment and has various finance leases for certain land and buildings principally expiring through 2035.
Certain of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the leases and these options have been included in the relevant lease term to the extent that they are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The Company does not include significant restrictions or covenants in our lease agreements, and residual value guarantees are not generally included within our operating leases.

16.STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock-based Compensation
The Company's Board of Directors ("the Board") and the shareholders approved, and subsequently amended, the THOR Industries, Inc. 2016 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2016 Equity and Incentive Plan”). The maximum number of shares issuable under the amended 2016 Equity and Incentive Plan is 3,600,000 . As of July 31, 2025, the remaining shares available to be granted under the 2016 Equity and Incentive Plan is 652,508 . Awards may be in the form of options (incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance compensation awards and stock appreciation rights.
Under the Company’s program to award restricted stock units (“RSU”), the Compensation and Development Committee of the Board generally approves awards each October related to the financial performance of the most recently completed fiscal year. The awarded employee restricted stock units vest, and shares of common stock are issued, in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. In addition, concurrent with the timing of the employee awards, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board has awarded restricted stock units to Board members that will vest, and shares of common stock will be issued, on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.
The fair value of the employee and Board member restricted stock units is determined using the Company’s stock price on the date of grant.
Under the Company’s program to provide performance stock units (“PSU”) awards to certain members of the Company's executive management, a portion of their equity compensation is determined based on performance related to targets set for both the Company’s return on invested capital and free cash flow during a multi-year measurement period. These PSU awards are based on a sliding scale of actual performance against relevant goals within a range of fifty percent (50 %) to one hundred fifty percent (150 %) of the target. Performance below the fifty percent (50 %) threshold results in no earned shares, while performance above the one hundred fifty percent (150 %) level results in an award of shares equal to two times the amount of target shares. In deriving the number of shares earned, if any, both performance metrics are weighted equally. Following the measurement period, in accordance with actual achievement and certification of performance metrics, fully vested shares of common stock are issued to the award recipients. The fair value of the PSU awards is determined using the Company’s stock price on the grant date. These awards are equity classified and expensed over the applicable measurement period based on the extent to which achievement of the performance metrics is probable.
Total stock-based expense recognized in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 for these RSU and PSU awards totaled $30,872 , $37,901 and $39,512 , respectively. The Company’s tax benefit related to this total stock-based compensation expense approximates $5,685 , $6,290 and $6,028 for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The fair value of the RSU and PSU shares that vested in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 totaled $39,514 , $47,282 and $21,152 , respectively.
A summary of restricted stock unit and performance stock unit activity during fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 is included below:
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

At July 31, 2025 there was $27,190 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock unit and performance stock unit awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

The timing and amount of share repurchases will be determined at the discretion of the Company’s management team based upon the market price of the stock, management’s evaluation of general market and economic conditions, cash availability and other factors. The share repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program.
During fiscal 2025, the Company purchased 586,558 shares of its common stock, at various times in the open market, at a weighted-average price of $89.76 and held them as treasury shares at an aggregate purchase price of $52,647 , with 229,766 shares, or $20,700 , coming from the June 18, 2025 authorization and 356,792 shares, or $31,947 , coming from the June 24, 2022 authorization.
Since the inception of the initial December 21, 2021 authorization, the Company has repurchased 3,801,330 shares of its common stock, at various times in the open market, at a weighted-average price of $86.32 per share and held them as treasury shares at an aggregate purchase price of $328,148 .
As of July 31, 2025, the remaining amount of the Company’s common stock that may be repurchased under the June 18, 2025 authorization expiring on July 31, 2027 is $379,300 .

19.WEATHER DAMAGE AT MANUFACTURING FACILITIES
On March 14, 2024, a weather event that included large damaging hail occurred at and around the Company’s Jackson Center, OH facilities. The hail resulted in significant roof damage to the motorized production facility and significant damage to inventory that was stored outside, primarily motorized chassis, but also some work in process and finished goods inventory.
The Company maintains insurance coverage, subject to a $1,000 self-insured retention, for the repair or replacement of covered assets that suffer loss, as well as coverage for business interruption, including lost profits. Inventory is a covered asset under the insurance policy, as is the production facility itself.
Total property losses and expenses incurred related to this event were $69,822 , primarily related to damaged motorized chassis. As of July 31, 2025, the insurance claim process was completed and the Company had received all insurance proceeds due related to this event of $81,975 , net of the $1,000 deductible. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recognized a total gain of $12,153 related to this insurance settlement, which includes $5,837 for business interruption and the remainder primarily relates to the insurance replacement reimbursement exceeding the carrying value of the damaged property. The total gain is included in in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, and the impact on the fiscal 2024 results related to this event were not material.
