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 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 economic 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.

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 public health issues, 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 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 operating 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;

•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;

•Future health crisis developments, including the imposition of various governmental mandates;

•Occurrence of disruptive or catastrophic economic or political events; and

•Sales of our common stock held by certain equity investors or members of management.

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.

13

With our global footprint, our business could be adversely affected by macroeconomic and geopolitical developments as well as actual or potential public health emergencies.

Due to the interconnectedness of the global economy, the challenges of a financial crisis, economic downturn or recession, 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, prolonged high unemployment rates, significant changes in the cost and/or availability of fuel or energy, low consumer confidence, higher 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. Although the RV industry recently experienced increased sales and operating results as a result of the unique consumer demand for recreational vehicles associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, more recently we have seen demand for RVs decrease amid high inflation, rising interest rates, political uncertainty and numerous other macroeconomic indices which have generally worsened in the regions in which we operate. In the event of future economic, political or health crises, we may experience an adverse effect on our financial condition and on our operational performance.

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 a reduction in our market share. 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 robust 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 recently entered the RV industry with the introduction of 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.

Our long-term success and competitiveness depends 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 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, autonomous recreational vehicles or other currently unanticipated changes. Our long-term success and competitiveness depends on our ability to timely, effectively and accurately predict or identify and respond to changing consumer preferences, including an anticipated continued shift in consumer desire for connected recreational vehicles with a focus on ease of use and a high-quality customer experience.

14

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, 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 a production issue, limited availability of materials, shipping problems or other reason, the shortage may disrupt our operations or increase our cost of production. For example, in fiscal 2023, ongoing supply chain constraints of component parts other than chassis, primarily within our European operations, had a negative impact on our business and our consolidated financial results and financial position, and we expect supply constraints of certain of these other components to continue through at least the first half of fiscal 2024.

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.

The North American and European RV industries have, from time to time in the past, experienced shortages of chassis for various other 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 have experienced supply constraints of key components that they require 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 had a further negative impact on our results of operations due to missed sales plus 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.

In addition, 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 sales and earnings 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 continue to fluctuate considerably in the future. 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.

15

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.

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.

We may incur material costs related to product recalls, customer satisfaction actions and complying with our recall obligations for both our products and for component parts supplied by vendors.

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 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. 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 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.

16

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 13.0% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2023. 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 independent dealers.

A material portion of our revenue is derived from sales of our products to international sources.

Combined sales from the United States 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 33.1% of THOR’s consolidated sales for fiscal 2023. Global political uncertainty poses risks of volatility in global markets, which could negatively affect our operations and financial results. Changes in U.S. policy regarding foreign trade or manufacturing 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 business, sales, hiring and employee retention.

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.

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,

17

•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;

•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.

Our long-term viability and financial success is 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.

We could be impacted by the potential adverse effects of union activities.

Our European-based operations are subject to employee contracts, Works Councils and certain other labor organizations, 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 and our ability to attract and retain qualified employees to meet our manufacturing needs. Additional unionization of our North American facilities could result in higher costs and increased risk of work stoppages.

18

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 independent 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, 2023, we distributed our products to approximately 2,400 independent dealerships in the United States and approximately 1,100 independent dealerships in Europe. We operate two 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 product, 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.

In the United States and Canada, our products are generally delivered to our independent dealers via a system of independent 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. As an example, the network of carriers and their ability to deliver units to certain locations was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic due to driver concerns, border crossing restrictions and vaccination requirements. If future health emergencies or other circumstances that inhibit transportation of our products emerge in the regions in which we operate or sell our products, the transportation contractors may again have difficulty finding drivers who 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”) 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 our security measures and business continuity plans, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage, disruption or shutdowns 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, we rely on our suppliers, independent dealers and third-party providers to do the same for their operations; however, 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.

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. While we have implemented and regularly review robust security measures and processes designed to prevent and detect unauthorized access to our information systems, we may not be able to anticipate and effectively prevent unauthorized access or data loss in the future. The misuse, leakage, unauthorized access or falsification 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, and damage to our reputation 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 U.S. 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; and

•The potential for greater adverse impact from natural disasters, such as weather-related events and public health emergencies.

In addition, a number of our key suppliers are also located in northern Indiana and are impacted by similar risks.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS

Climate-related regulations and ongoing compliance requirements with chassis emissions standards designed to address climate change may result in additional required disclosures and related compliance costs, in both the U.S. and Europe.

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. 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.

20

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.

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.

Recently, increased attention is being 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.

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.

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.

21

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

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 and results of operations would be negatively affected. In difficult economic times, this amount could increase significantly compared to other years.

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 plan.

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. Further, the outcome of future elections and the associated political party with power to enact legislation could make tax increases more likely and more severe.

22

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 plan.

We could incur asset impairment charges for goodwill, intangible assets or other long-lived assets.

We have a material amount of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. At least annually, we review goodwill for impairment. Long-lived assets, 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. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, a non-cash impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset or reporting unit exceeds its fair value at the time of measurement. Our determination of future cash flows, future recoverability and fair value of our long-lived assets 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 and financial condition.

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 an increase in the cost 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 recent inflation on consumer confidence, which historically has been highly correlated with RV retail sales, and the impact of inflation on the availability of discretionary funds of our end consumers, combined with significantly higher interest rates compared to recent years impacting both our independent dealers and the end consumer, has had a negative impact on demand for our products at both the wholesale and retail levels. 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 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 51% of our products’ portion of our independent dealers’ total floored dollars outstanding at July 31, 2023. 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.

The Company’s debt arrangements, maturity dates and provisions in our debt agreements may make us more sensitive to the effects of economic downturns.

As of July 31, 2023, total gross outstanding debt was $1,327,405, consisting of $758,094 outstanding on our term loan facility which matures on February 1, 2026; $500,000 of Senior Unsecured Notes due October 15, 2029 and $69,311 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.

23

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance 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 2. PROPERTIES

As of July 31, 2023, worldwide we owned or leased approximately 25,803,000 square feet of total manufacturing plant and office space. We believe that our present facilities, consisting primarily of steel clad, steel or wood frame and masonry construction, and the machinery and equipment contained in these facilities, are generally well maintained and in good condition. We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate for their intended purposes and that we would be able to obtain replacements for our leased premises at acceptable costs should our leases not be renewed.

The following table describes the location, number and size of our principal manufacturing plants and other materially important physical properties as of July 31, 2023:

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 accrued liability to cover anticipated costs was established at that time. During fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023, 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, and will continue to be, reimbursed by the suppliers of the products for a portion of the costs it will incur 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. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation.

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, 2023 and 2022. The comparison of, and changes between, the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 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, 2022, as filed with the SEC on September 28, 2022.

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 Stat Surveys, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, THOR’s current combined U.S. and Canadian market share based on units was approximately 42.7% for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined and approximately 49.0% for motorhomes. In Europe, according to the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”), EHG’s current market share for the six months ended June 30, 2023 based on units was approximately 20.6% for motorcaravans and campervans combined and approximately 18.5% for caravans.

Our business model includes decentralized operating units, and our RV products are primarily sold to independent, non-franchise dealers who, in turn, retail those products. 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 $208,908 in fiscal 2023 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 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for capital acquisitions by segment. Ongoing supply chain constraints, particularly chassis constraints within our European operations, have and could continue to impact our business and our consolidated financial results and financial position. In addition, the impact of recent inflation on consumer confidence, which historically has been highly correlated with RV retail sales, and the impact of inflation on the availability of discretionary funds of our end consumers, combined with significantly higher interest rates compared to recent years impacting both our independent dealers and the end consumer, had a negative impact on demand for our products at both the wholesale and retail levels during fiscal 2023 and are expected to continue to impact the remainder of calendar year 2023. These risks to our business are more fully described in Part 1, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of this Report.

Significant Events

Fiscal 2023

Roadpass Digital

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% of the Class A-RP units and Class C-RP units, respectively, issued by TN-RP. The Company also simultaneously entered into an Operating Agreement with TechNexus related to TN-RP whereby TechNexus will manage the day-to-day operations of TN-RP subject to certain protective rights maintained by the Company. The rights and privileges of the Company and TechNexus as unit holders of TN-RP are governed by the terms of the Operating Agreement, which includes provisions for distributions during its existence and at dissolution.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

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

Fiscal 2022

Share Repurchase Program

On December 21, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized Company management to utilize up to $250,000 to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock through December 21, 2024. On June 24, 2022, the Board authorized Company management to utilize up to an additional $448,321 to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock through July 31, 2025.

Under these two share repurchase authorizations, the Company is authorized to repurchase, on a discretionary basis and from time-to-time, outstanding shares of its common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means.

During the three months ended July 31, 2023, the Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock. During fiscal 2023, the Company purchased 549,532 shares of its common stock, at various times in the open market, at a weighted-average price of $76.44 and held them as treasury shares at an aggregate purchase price of $42,007, all from the December 21, 2021 authorization.

As of July 31, 2023, the remaining amount of the Company's common stock that may be repurchased under the December 21, 2021 $250,000 authorization expiring on December 21, 2024 is $42,886. As of July 31, 2023, the remaining amount of the Company’s common stock that may be repurchased under the June 24, 2022 authorization expiring on July 31, 2025 is $448,321. As of July 31, 2023, the total remaining amount of the Company’s common stock that may be repurchased under these two authorizations is $491,207.

Issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes

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 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, and the first semi-annual payment was made April 14, 2022. The Senior Unsecured Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and any future senior indebtedness and senior to the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, if any, and effectively junior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and any future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Airxcel Acquisition

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

Fiscal 2021

Tiffin Group Acquisition

On December 18, 2020, the Company closed on an agreement for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of luxury motorized recreational vehicle manufacturer Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. and certain other associated operating and supply companies (collectively, the “Tiffin Group”). Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. operates out of various locations in Alabama and Mississippi.

The cash consideration for the acquisition of the Tiffin Group was $288,238, net of cash acquired, and was funded through existing cash-on-hand as well as $165,000 in borrowings from the Company’s existing asset-based credit facility.

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 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, 2023 decreased 31.1% to approximately 87,500 units from approximately 127,000 units as of July 31, 2022. North American RV independent dealer inventory of our North American RV products as of July 31, 2021 totaled approximately 58,300 units. The July 31, 2021 totals were at historic lows given the surge in demand at that time, especially for towable products. During fiscal 2022, dealers restocked their depleted stocking levels significantly, particularly towable unit levels, as consumer demand continued to be strong and interest and carrying costs remained relatively low compared to historical norms. During fiscal 2023, particularly in the second half of fiscal 2023, retail sales began to slow, and carrying costs for dealers increased significantly due to inflationary cost increases and the rapid increase in interest rates during that period. These factors, among others, combined to cause dealers to reduce the number of units they carried as of July 31, 2023.

As of July 31, 2023, we believe North American dealer inventory levels for most towable products are generally higher than the levels that dealers are comfortable stocking given the current retail sales levels and associated carrying costs. We believe dealer inventory levels for motorized product lines are generally more closely aligned to dealers’ desired stocking levels as of the end of July 2023, although carrying costs, chassis availability and retail sales activity have been factors considered as the dealers determine their stocking levels. We believe dealers will continue to closely evaluate the unit stocking levels that they will elect to carry in future periods, which may be less than historical unit stocking levels, due to a combination of factors such as retail activity, RV wholesale prices as well as interest rates and other carrying costs.

THOR’s total North American RV backlog as of July 31, 2023 decreased $4,008,655, or 66.7%, to $1,998,983 from $6,007,638 as of July 31, 2022. The decrease in backlog is primarily a result of a reduction in recent orders from dealers due to lower retail sales and concerns over current interest costs and other carrying costs compared to the prior period.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, Increase %

31

In August 2023, RVIA reconfirmed its forecast for calendar year 2023 North American wholesale unit shipments. Under a most likely scenario, towable and motorized unit shipments are projected to decrease to approximately 249,300 and 47,800, respectively, for an annual total of approximately 297,100 units, down 39.8% from the 2022 calendar year wholesale shipments. The RVIA most likely forecast for calendar year 2023 could range from a lower estimate of approximately 287,200 total units to an upper estimate of approximately 307,000 units.

As part of their August 2023 forecast, RVIA also released their initial estimates for calendar year 2024 wholesale unit shipments. In the most likely scenario, towable and motorized unit shipments are projected to increase to an approximated annual total of 369,700 units, or 24.4% higher than the most likely scenario for calendar year 2023 wholesale shipments. This calendar year 2024 most likely forecast could range from a lower estimate of approximately 363,700 total units to an upper estimate of approximately 375,700 units. RVIA stated the reasons for the calendar year 2024 wholesale unit shipment recovery is due to the anticipated effects of rising interest rates subsiding and the current inventory imbalance resolving over the second half of calendar 2023.

North American Industry Retail Statistics

We believe that retail demand is the key to growth in the North American RV industry, and that annual North American RV industry wholesale shipments will return to typical seasonal patterns as dealer inventory levels and consumer demand become more balanced.

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 believe that North American retail consumer demand has grown in recent years due to an increasing interest in the RV lifestyle and the ability to connect with nature, and further accelerated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in calendar 2021, which resulted in record retail sales during that period. While we anticipate that near-term demand will 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 exceed historical, pre-pandemic levels as consumers continue to value the perceived benefits offered by the RV lifestyle, which provides people with a personal space to maintain social distance in a safe manner, the ability to connect with loved ones and the potential to get away for short, frequent breaks or longer adventures.

North American Outlook

Historically, RV industry sales have been impacted by a number of economic conditions faced by our independent dealers, and ultimately retail consumers, such as the rate of unemployment, the rate of inflation, the level of consumer confidence, the disposable income of consumers, interest rates, credit availability, the health of the housing market, tax rates and fuel availability and prices. We believe these factors will continue to affect retail sales in fiscal 2024. In addition, due to inflationary pressures, higher interest rates and other factors, we believe that in fiscal 2024 our independent dealers will be continuously reevaluating their desired stocking levels, which may result in lower than historical dealer inventory stocking levels on a unit basis. It is difficult to predict the extent to which any or all of these factors will impact the RV industry or our business in a particular future period, however, we currently believe the early portion of fiscal 2024 will continue to be negatively impacted by these factors, especially when compared to our strong fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 results.

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

Economic and industry-wide factors that have historically affected, and which we believe will continue to affect, our operating results include the costs of commodities, the 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. Historically, we have generally been able to offset net cost increases over time.

While we have recently seen improvement in the supply of chassis from North American suppliers from some, but not all, chassis suppliers, we do not believe the chassis supply chain is fully back to pre-pandemic levels. Currently it is uncertain as what impact the current labor disputes and work stoppages involving certain U.S. automakers, who also supply chassis to us, will have on the future availability of chassis. Even beyond these issues, it is extremely difficult to predict when or whether future supply chain issues related to chassis will arise. Modifying available chassis for certain motorized products to use for other products is not a viable alternative, particularly in the short term, due to engineering requirements. These factors may continue to negatively impact our production schedule and cost structure as we try to balance our production and personnel staffing levels and schedules to the available chassis, often with short notice. The North American recreational vehicle industry has, from time to time in the past, experienced shortages of chassis for various reasons, including component shortages, production delays or other production issues and work stoppages at the chassis manufacturers.

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

European RV Industry

The Company monitors retail trends in the European RV market as reported by the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”), whose industry data is reported to the public quarterly and typically issued on a one-to-two-month lag. Additionally, the Company receives monthly OEM-specific reports from most of the individual member countries that make up the ECF. As these reports are coming directly from the ECF member countries, timing and content vary, but typically the reports are issued on a one-to-two-month lag as well. While most countries provide OEM-specific information, the United Kingdom, which made up 17.5% and 7.8% of the caravan and motorcaravan (including campervans) European market for the six months ended June 30, 2023, 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. However, independent RV dealer inventory levels of our European products are generally below historic levels in the various countries we serve. Within Germany, which accounts for approximately 60% of our European product sales, independent dealer inventory levels are currently below historical norms.

Independent dealer inventory of our European RV products as of July 31, 2023 was approximately 21,200 units. Comparable independent dealer inventory unit information was not available as of July 31, 2022. During fiscal 2023 European dealer inventory levels have grown from a period of low levels. Caravan and urban vehicle product lines are no longer considered below target stocking levels, but motorcaravans are still slightly below normal.

Our European Recreational Vehicle backlog as of July 31, 2023 increased $796,058, or 28.9%, to $3,549,660 compared to $2,753,602 as of July 31, 2022, primarily due to increased selling prices.

European Outlook

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CONSOLIDATED

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2023 decreased $5,190,920, or 31.8%, compared to fiscal 2022. The decrease in consolidated net sales is primarily due to lower current dealer and consumer demand in comparison to record demand in fiscal 2022, primarily in the North American Towable segment. Approximately 27% of the Company's net sales for fiscal 2023 were transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company's most material exchange rate exposure is sales in Euros. The $5,190,920, or 31.8% decrease in consolidated net sales in fiscal 2023 includes a decrease of $116,142 from the change in currency exchange rates between the two periods. To determine this impact, net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates that were in effect during the comparative period.

Consolidated gross profit for fiscal 2023 decreased $1,209,677, or 43.1%, compared to fiscal 2022. Consolidated gross profit was 14.4% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2023 and 17.2% for fiscal 2022. The decreases in consolidated gross profit and the consolidated gross profit percentage in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 were both primarily due to the impact of the decrease in consolidated net sales, which resulted in less absorption of fixed costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2023 decreased $246,408, or 22.1%, compared to fiscal 2022, primarily due to the 31.8% decrease in consolidated net sales and a combined decrease in net costs related to certain warranty and settlement expenses as discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 7.8% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2023 and 6.8% for fiscal 2022, with the increase in percentage primarily due to the decrease in consolidated net sales in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022.

Amortization of intangible assets expense for fiscal 2023 decreased $16,138, or 10.3%, to $140,808, compared to fiscal 2022, primarily due to a reduction in dealer network amortization, which is amortized on an accelerated basis and therefore decreases over time.

The decrease of $960,511, or 65.8% in income before income taxes for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022, was primarily driven by the decrease in consolidated net sales and the decrease in the consolidated gross profit percentage noted above.

38

The overall annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2023 was 25.1%, compared with 22.0% for fiscal 2022. The primary reason for the increase in the overall annual effective income tax rate relates to the jurisdictional mix of income before income taxes between foreign and domestic jurisdictions between fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.

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 $26,406 decrease in Corporate expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 primarily related to certain settlement expenses accrued in fiscal 2022 as discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements which did not recur in fiscal 2023. This decrease also includes a decrease in incentive compensation of $6,579 due to the decrease in income before income taxes compared to the prior-year period, and a decrease of $6,850 in accrued expenses related to our standby repurchase obligations due to a decrease in dealer inventory levels in the current-year period as compared to a large increase in dealer inventory levels in the prior-year period. Costs related to the actuarially determined product liability and workers compensation accruals held at the Corporate level also decreased $5,391. These decreases were partially offset by a stock-based compensation expense increase of $9,153, and deferred compensation increased $18,966 due to market fluctuations between the two periods.

Net expense for Corporate interest and other income and expenses increased $10,783 in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022, which includes an increase in net interest expense and fees of $7,882 on our debt primarily due to higher interest rates in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. In addition, fiscal 2023 included operating losses of $10,436 related to our equity investment in Roadpass Digital as discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and an unfavorable change of $10,895 in the fair value of certain other equity investments due to market fluctuations. These increases in net expense were partially offset by the favorable change of $19,350 in the fair value of the Company's deferred compensation plan assets due to market fluctuations between the two periods.

The decrease in total North American Towable net sales of 51.5% compared to the prior fiscal year resulted from a 55.4% decrease in unit shipments and a 3.9% increase in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in product mix and price, which included selling price increases to help offset higher material costs. The decrease in unit shipments is primarily due to a softening in current dealer and consumer demand in comparison with the heightened demand in the prior fiscal year, which included independent dealers significantly restocking their inventory unit stock levels. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the twelve months ended July 31, 2023, combined travel trailer and fifth wheel wholesale unit shipments decreased 51.0% compared to the same period last year. According to statistics published by Stat Surveys, for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our retail market share for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined was 42.4% and 41.8%, respectively.

The increase in the overall change in product mix and price per unit within the travel trailer product line of 5.0% during fiscal 2023 was primarily due to the impact of favorable product mix changes compared to fiscal 2022 and selling price increases, primarily to offset higher material costs, partially offset by increased sales discounts. The decrease in the overall change in product mix and price per unit within the fifth wheel product line of 2.4% during fiscal 2023 was primarily due to the impact of selling price increases to offset higher material costs being more than offset by elevated sales discounts.

North American Towable cost of products sold decreased $3,450,506 to $3,699,141, or 88.0% of North American Towable net sales, for fiscal 2023 compared to $7,149,647, or 82.5% of North American Towable net sales, for fiscal 2022. The changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $3,338,749 of the $3,450,506 decrease in cost of products sold due to the decreased sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American Towable net sales increased to 80.2% for fiscal 2023 compared to 77.4% for fiscal 2022, primarily as a result of increased sales discounts, which effectively decreased net selling prices and correspondingly increased cost percentages. The combined material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of gross North American Towable net sales before the effects of discounting decreased, due to a decrease in the material cost percentage from the combined favorable impacts of product mix changes, net selling price increases, cost-saving initiatives and the North American Towable LIFO liquidation of $8,300 in fiscal 2023, partially offset by an increase in the warranty cost percentage.

Total manufacturing overhead decreased $111,757 due to the decrease in sales but increased as a percentage of North American Towable net sales from 5.1% to 7.8%, as the decreased net sales levels resulted in higher overhead costs per unit sold. Variable costs in manufacturing overhead decreased $115,302 in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 as a result of the decrease in North American Towable net sales.

The decrease of $1,008,811 in North American Towable gross profit for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 was driven by the decrease in net sales and the decrease in the gross profit percentage was due to the increase in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The decrease of $185,437 in North American Towable selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 includes the impact of the decrease in North American Towable net sales and income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, incentive and other compensation to decrease by $184,177. The increase in the overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of North American Towable net sales was primarily due to the decrease in North American Towable net sales.

The decrease of $813,413 in North American Towable income before income taxes for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 was primarily due to the decrease in North American Towable net sales, and the primary reason for the 6.5% decrease in percentage was the increase in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The decrease in total North American Motorized net sales of 16.7% compared to the prior fiscal year resulted from a 16.5% decrease in unit shipments due to softening dealer and consumer demand, and a 0.2% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in product price and mix, which included net selling price increases to help offset higher material and other input costs. The 0.2% decrease in the overall change in product mix and price per unit, in spite of the increase in net price per unit within each product category, was due to the higher combined concentration of the more moderately-priced Class B and Class C units in the current fiscal year compared to the more expensive Class A units. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the twelve months ended July 31, 2023, combined motorhome wholesale unit shipments decreased 10.3% compared to the same period last year. According to statistics published by Stat Surveys, for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our retail market share for motorhomes was 48.1% and 48.5%, respectively.

The increase in the overall change in product mix and price per unit within the Class A product line of 1.8% during fiscal 2023 was primarily due to net selling price increases since the prior fiscal year to help offset material and other input cost increases, partially offset by a higher concentration of sales of the more moderately-priced gas Class A products in the current fiscal year. The increase in the overall change in product mix and price per unit within the Class C product line of 6.2% during fiscal 2023 was primarily due to net selling price increases since the prior fiscal year to offset higher material and other input costs as well as product mix changes. The increase in the overall change in product mix and price per unit within the Class B product line of 10.0% during fiscal 2023 was primarily due to net selling price increases since the prior fiscal year, and a higher concentration of sales of higher-priced Class B products in the current fiscal year.

North American Motorized cost of products sold decreased $454,140 to $2,871,455, or 86.6% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2023 compared to $3,325,595, or 83.6% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2022. The changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $442,308 of the $454,140 decrease due to the decreased sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of motorized net sales was 80.9% for fiscal 2023 compared to 78.6% for fiscal 2022, with the increase primarily due to an increase in the material cost percentage, primarily due to chassis cost increases, and an increase in the warranty cost percentage.

Total manufacturing overhead decreased $11,832 but increased as a percentage of North American Motorized net sales from 5.0% to 5.7%, as the decrease in net sales levels resulted in slightly higher overhead costs per unit sold. Variable costs in manufacturing overhead decreased $13,709 in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 as a result of the decrease in North American Motorized net sales.

The decrease of $211,337 in North American Motorized gross profit for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 was driven by the decrease in net sales, while the decrease in the gross profit percentage was due to the increase in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The decrease of $31,104 in North American Motorized selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 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 $39,581. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in professional fees and related settlement and RV repurchase costs of $6,112.

The decrease of $181,397 in North American Motorized income before income taxes for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 was primarily due to the decrease in North American Motorized net sales, and the primary reason for the 3.3% decrease in North American Motorized income before income taxes percentage was the increase in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The increase in total European Recreational Vehicle net sales of 5.2% compared to the prior-year period resulted from a 7.5% decrease in unit shipments and a 12.7% increase in the overall net price per unit due to the total impact of changes in foreign currency, product mix and price. The increase in European Recreational Vehicle net sales of $149,694 includes a decrease of $116,142, or 4.0% of net sales, due to the decrease in foreign exchange rates in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. Sales on a constant-currency basis increased by 9.2%.

The overall net price per unit increase of 12.7% includes a 4.0% decrease due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and a 16.7% increase due to the combined impact of product mix and selling price increases.

The constant-currency increases in the overall net price per unit within the Motorcaravan product line of 18.8% and the Campervan product line of 26.7% were primarily due to the impact of selling price increases and product mix changes. In addition, in fiscal 2023 the Campervan product line included a higher concentration of Campervan units with a purchased chassis that is included in the sales price as opposed to units with a customer-supplied chassis that is not included in the sales price. The increase in the overall net price per unit due to product mix and price within the Caravan product line of 13.3% was primarily due to the impact of selling price increases taken to offset increased input costs.

European Recreational Vehicle cost of products sold increased 54,337 to $2,531,803, or 83.4% of European Recreational Vehicle net sales, for fiscal 2023 compared to 2,477,466, or 85.8% of European Recreational Vehicle net sales, for fiscal 2022. The changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $34,716 of the 54,337 increase. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of European Recreational Vehicle net sales decreased to 73.4% for fiscal 2023 compared to 76.0% for fiscal 2022, with the decrease primarily due to a decrease in the material cost percentage due to net selling price increases and product mix changes. The labor cost percentages also improved.

Total manufacturing overhead increased $19,621 and increased as a percentage of European Recreational Vehicle net sales from 9.8% to 10.0% primarily due to an increase in manufacturing overhead wages and benefits.

The increase of $95,357 in European Recreational Vehicle gross profit for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 was due to the increase in European Recreational Vehicle net sales and the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

The $6,315 increase in European Recreational Vehicle selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 was primarily due to the reduction in foreign exchange rates since the prior-year period, which mostly offset the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses on a constant-currency basis. The constant-currency increase was primarily due to increased advertising and promotion costs, as participation in most European trade fairs in the prior fiscal year was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic but resumed in the current fiscal year, and increased compensation and benefit costs.

The primary reason for the $92,509 increase in European Recreational Vehicle income before income taxes was the increase in European Recreational Vehicle net sales and the improvement in the cost of products sold percentage noted above. The increase in the net income before income taxes percentage to net sales was primarily due to the improvement in the cost of products sold percentage noted above. Amortization expense was also 0.6% lower as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 due to lower dealer network amortization, which is amortized on an accelerated basis and therefore decreases over time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 31, 2023, we had $441,232 in cash and cash equivalents, of which $338,703 is held in the United States and the equivalent of $102,529, predominantly in Euros, is held in Europe, compared to $311,553 on July 31, 2022, of which $256,492 was held in the United States and the equivalent of $55,061, 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 $129,679 increase in cash and cash equivalents are described in more detail below, but the increase was primarily attributable to cash provided by operations of $981,633 less cash used in financing activities of $635,685 and cash used in investing activities of $222,483.

Net working capital at July 31, 2023 was $1,077,098 compared to $1,306,563 at July 31, 2022, with the decrease primarily due to decreases in inventory and accounts receivable as noted in the Operating Activities section below. Capital expenditures of $208,194 for fiscal 2023 were made primarily for land and 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 $940,000 at July 31, 2023. 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 17 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.

45

Our current estimate of committed and internally approved capital spend for fiscal 2024 is $260,000, primarily for certain building projects and certain automation 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 of our capital spend will be in North America and one-third in Europe, and that these expenditures will be funded by cash provided by our operating activities.

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 payment 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 2023 was $981,633 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $990,116 for fiscal 2022.

For fiscal 2023, net income adjusted for non-cash items (primarily depreciation, amortization of intangibles, deferred income tax benefit and stock-based compensation) provided $664,339 of operating cash. The change in net working capital provided additional operating cash of $317,294 during fiscal 2023, primarily due to decreases in accounts receivable due to lower sales levels and a reduction in inventory levels.

For fiscal 2022, net income adjusted for non-cash operating items (primarily depreciation, amortization of intangibles, deferred income tax benefit and stock-based compensation) provided $1,405,990 of operating cash. The change in net working capital resulted in the use of $415,874 of operating cash during fiscal 2022, primarily due to an increase in inventory.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2023 was $222,483, primarily due to capital expenditures of $208,194.

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2022 was $1,049,257, primarily due to $781,967 used in business acquisitions, primarily for the Airxcel acquisition discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and capital expenditures of $242,357.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2023 was $635,685, including payments of $100,000 on the ABL facility and $402,355 on the term-loan credit facilities. Additionally, the Company made regular quarterly cash dividend payments of $0.45 per share for each quarter of fiscal 2023 totaling $95,969, and $42,007 was used for treasury share repurchases.

Net cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2022 was $47,841, consisting primarily of borrowings of $660,088 on the revolving asset-based credit facilities, which included $625,000 borrowed in connection with the acquisition of Airxcel and $35,088 for temporary working capital needs, in addition to $500,000 in proceeds from the issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes in October 2021, which were then used as part of the $559,035 in payments on the ABL facility. Payments of $332,907 were also made on the term-loan credit facilities. Additionally, the Company made regular quarterly cash dividend payments of $0.43 per share for each quarter of fiscal 2022 totaling $94,944, and $165,107 was used for treasury share repurchases.

The Company increased its previous regular quarterly dividend of $0.43 per share to $0.45 per share in October 2022. The Company increased its previous regular quarterly dividend of $0.41 per share to $0.43 per share in October 2021.

Principal Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Our principal contractual obligations and commercial commitments at July 31, 2023 are summarized in the following charts. Unrecognized income tax benefits in the amount of $15,992 have been excluded from the table because we are unable to determine a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of future payment. We have no other material off-balance sheet commitments.

Payments Due By Period

(1)See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

(2)See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

(3)Represent commitments to purchase specified quantities of raw materials at market prices. The dollar values above have been estimated based on July 31, 2023 market prices.

Total Amounts Committed Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Period

(1)The standby repurchase totals above do not consider any curtailments that lower the eventual repurchase obligation totals, and these obligations generally extend up to eighteen months from the date of sale of the related product to the dealer. In estimating the expiration of the standby repurchase obligations, we used inventory reports as of July 31, 2023 from our independent dealers’ primary lending institutions and made an assumption for obligations for inventory aged 0-12 months that it was financed evenly over the twelve-month period.

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:

Business Combinations

We account for the acquisition of a business using the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributed to non-controlling 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 values of identifiable intangible assets, 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 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.

Significant estimates and assumptions are used in estimating the value of acquired identifiable intangible assets, including estimating future cash flows based on revenues and margins that the Company expects to generate following the acquisition, selecting an applicable royalty rate where needed, determining an appropriate dealer attrition rate, applying an appropriate discount rate to estimate a present value of those cash flows and determining their useful lives. Subsequent changes to projections driven by actual results following the acquisition date could require the Company to record impairment charges.

47

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 3 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, 2023 is $1,800,422. See Note 7 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.

One of the Company's reporting units has a goodwill balance of $388,846 as of July 31, 2023. For its May 31, 2023 annual impairment test of this reporting unit, the Company utilized both a discounted cash flow model and market approach based on guideline public companies to estimate the fair value of this reporting unit. The fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 10% in this test. The estimated fair value is subject to significant management judgment, including the determination of many factors such as, but not limited to, sales growth rates, margin growth rates and discount rates developed using market observable inputs and considering risk regarding future performance, as well as market multiples derived from selected guideline public companies. 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 dealer and end consumer demand, could have a significant impact on estimated fair value. Changes in any of these estimates or other factors could potentially result in future material impairments.

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, 2023 totaled $996,979. See Note 7 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.

Should a triggering event be deemed to occur, and for each of the annual goodwill impairment assessments, management is required to estimate fair value. Fair values are generally determined by a discounted cash flow model, in addition to a market approach based on guideline public companies, in certain situations. These estimates are also subject to significant management judgment, including the determination of many factors such as 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, as well as market multiples derived from selected guideline public companies. Changes in 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 Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2023, and no impairment was identified. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding goodwill and intangible assets.

48

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 $345,197 at July 31, 2023, 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. 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 $555,506 of debt denominated in Euros at July 31, 2023. A hypothetical 10% change in the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate would change our July 31, 2023 debt balance by an estimated $55,551.

INTEREST RATE RISK– 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 13.3% of our weighted-average interest rate at July 31, 2023) would result in an estimated $7,626 reduction in income before income taxes over a one-year period.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

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, 2023 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, 2023, 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 2023, 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.

Part D – Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of THOR Industries, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of THOR Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2023, 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, 2023, of the Company and our report dated September 25, 2023, 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.
