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

Significant Fiscal 2024 Events
Refinancing of Credit Agreements
On November 15, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to both its term loan and ABL agreements to extend maturities and lower the applicable margins used to determine the interest rate on the U.S. dollar-denominated loan tranche. The maturity date for the term loan was extended from February 1, 2026 to November 15, 2030. Covenants and other material provisions of the term loan agreement remain materially unchanged. Pursuant to the ABL amendment, the maturity date for loans under the ABL agreement was extended from September 1, 2026 to November 15, 2028. Maximum availability under the ABL remains at $1,000,000 and the applicable margin, covenants and other material provisions of the ABL remain materially unchanged. As a result of these amendments and associated maturity date extensions, the Company recognized total expense of $14,741 in fiscal 2024.
Subsequently, on July 1, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its term loan to modify the applicable margins used to determine the interest rate on both the U.S. dollar-denominated loans and Euro-denominated loans. The U.S. dollar interest rate under the amended agreement was reduced by 0.50% so that the applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”)-based loans is now 1.25% and for Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based loans is 2.25%. In addition, the applicable margin for the Euro loan interest rate was reduced by 0.25% so that the applicable margin for the EURIBOR-based loans is 2.75%.
North American RV Industry
The Company monitors industry conditions in the North American RV market using a number of resources including its own performance tracking and modeling. The Company also considers monthly wholesale shipment data as reported by the RV Industry Association (“RVIA”), which is typically issued on a one-month lag and represents manufacturers’ North American RV production and delivery to dealers. In addition, we monitor monthly North American retail sales trends as reported by Stat Surveys, whose data is typically issued on a month-and-a-half lag. The Company believes that monthly RV retail sales data is important as consumer purchases impact future dealer orders and ultimately our production and net sales.
North American RV independent dealer inventory of our North American RV products as of July 31, 2025 decreased 2.3% to approximately 73,300 units from approximately 75,000 units as of July 31, 2024.
As of July 31, 2025, we believe North American dealer inventory levels for most products are generally in line with the levels that dealers are comfortable stocking given the current retail sales levels and associated carrying costs. We believe dealers will continue to closely evaluate the unit stocking levels that they will elect to carry in future periods, which may be less than historical unit stocking levels, due to a combination of factors such as current retail activity, current RV wholesale prices as well as current interest rates and other carrying costs.
THOR’s total North American RV backlog as of July 31, 2025 increased $200,352, or 15.1%, to $1,529,634 from $1,329,282 as of July 31, 2024, with the increase driven primarily by an increase in North American Motorized backlog, which was adversely impacted at July 31, 2024 by lower retail sales and dealer and consumer concerns over higher interest costs at that time.

North American Industry Wholesale Statistics
Key wholesale statistics for the North American RV industry, as reported by RVIA for the periods indicated, are as follows:
U.S. and Canada Wholesale Unit Shipments
Six Months Ended June 30, Increase %
In September 2025, RVIA reconfirmed its June 2025 forecast for calendar year 2025 North American wholesale unit shipments. Under a most likely scenario, towable and motorized unit shipments are projected to increase to approximately 303,100 and 33,800, respectively, for an annual total of approximately 337,000 units, up 1.0% from the 2024 calendar year wholesale shipments. The RVIA most likely forecast for calendar year 2025 could range from a lower estimate of approximately 320,400 total units to an upper estimate of approximately 353,500 units.
As part of their September 2025 forecast, RVIA also issued their initial estimates for calendar year 2026 wholesale unit shipments. In the most likely scenario, towable and motorized unit shipments are projected to increase to an approximated annual total of 349,300 units, or 3.6% higher than the most likely scenario for calendar year 2025 wholesale shipments. This calendar year 2026 most likely forecast could range from a lower estimate of approximately 332,400 total units to an upper estimate of approximately 366,100 units. RVIA stated the primary reason for the forecasted increase in wholesale unit shipments during calendar year 2026 is their expectation for the RV industry to transition to a period of accelerating growth in the latter half of the calendar year, supported by improved consumer finances and anticipated dealer replenishment activity.
North American Industry Retail Statistics
We believe that retail demand is the key to growth in the North American RV industry.
Key retail statistics for the North American RV industry, as reported by Stat Surveys for the periods indicated, are as follows:
U.S. and Canada Retail Unit Registrations
Six Months Ended June 30, Increase %
Note: Data reported by Stat Surveys is based on official state and provincial records. This information is subject to adjustment, is continuously updated and is often impacted by delays in reporting by various states or provinces.
We anticipate that near-term demand will be influenced by many factors, including consumer confidence and the level of consumer spending on discretionary products. We believe future retail demand over the longer term will grow from the current levels as consumer confidence and general economic conditions improve, as we believe interest in the RV lifestyle remains high as consumers continue to value the perceived benefits offered by the RV lifestyle, which provides people with the ability to connect with loved ones and nature as well as the potential to get away for short, frequent breaks or longer adventures.

North American Outlook
Historically, RV industry sales have been impacted by a number of economic conditions faced by RV dealers, and ultimately retail consumers, such as the level of consumer confidence, the rate of unemployment, the rate of inflation, the disposable income of consumers, interest rates, credit availability, the health of the housing market, tax rates and fuel availability and prices. We believe these factors will continue to affect retail sales in fiscal 2026. In addition, due to inflationary pressures, including the impact of higher tariffs, current interest rates and other factors, we believe that RV dealers will be continuously reevaluating their desired stocking levels, which may result in lower than historical dealer inventory stocking levels on a unit basis, particularly in the fall and winter months which historically are lower retail sales periods. It is difficult to predict the extent to which any or all of these factors will impact the RV industry or our business in a particular future period, however, we currently believe the remainder of calendar 2025 will continue to be negatively impacted by these factors.
Despite the continuing near-term challenges, we remain optimistic about the future of North American retail sales in the long term, as there are many factors driving product interest. Surveys conducted by THOR, RVIA and others show that Americans of all generations love the freedom of the outdoors and the enrichment that comes with living an active lifestyle. RVs allow people to be in control of their travel experiences, going where they want, when they want and with the people they want. The RV units we design, produce and sell allow people to spend time outdoors pursuing their favorite activities, creating cherished moments and deeply connecting with family and friends. Based on the ongoing value consumers place on these factors, we expect to see long-term growth in the North American RV industry. The growth in industry-wide RV sales during late calendar year 2020 through early calendar year 2023 resulted in exposing a wider range of consumers to the RV lifestyle. As a result, we believe many of those who have been exposed to the industry for the first time will become future owners once general economic conditions improve, and that those who became first-time owners since the onset of the pandemic will become long-term RVers, resulting in future repeat and upgrade sales opportunities. We also believe many consumers are likely to continue opting for fewer vacations via air travel, cruise ships and hotels, while preferring vacations that RVs are uniquely positioned to provide, allowing consumers the ability to explore or unwind, often close to home. In addition, we believe that the availability of camping and RV parking facilities will be an important factor in the future growth of the industry and view both the significant recent investments and the committed future investments by campground owners, states and the federal government in camping facilities and accessibility to state and federal parks and forests to be positive long-term factors.
35
Economic and industry-wide factors that have historically affected, and which we believe will continue to affect, our operating results include the costs of commodities, the availability of critical supply components and labor costs incurred in the production of our products. Material and labor costs are the primary factors determining our cost of products sold, and any future increases in raw material or labor costs will impact our profit margins negatively if we are unable to offset those cost increases through a combination of product recontenting, material sourcing strategies, efficiency improvements or raising the selling prices for our products by corresponding amounts. We are closely monitoring the imposition of new and higher U.S. tariffs on imports, as well as retaliatory tariffs or other measures certain other countries have already or may impose on U.S. imports, that may increase our material costs, disrupt our supply of materials or negatively impact our sales into other countries. We are currently uncertain as to the ultimate impact these measures may have given the rapidly changing environment surrounding tariffs and other related political topics. The impact of increased or new tariffs in our fiscal 2025 third and fourth quarters was relatively modest due to the timing of, and changes in, both the announced tariff rates and effective dates and our engagement with our vendors regarding the extent and timing of any resultant cost increases. We would expect additional tariff impacts on our upcoming fiscal 2026 results, but it is difficult to assess the ultimate impact they may have given the ongoing changes in tariff rates, what components will be impacted and when, plus the fact that we are often not importing products or components directly but rather through third-party vendors and therefore do not have complete visibility regarding the timing or impact on the pricing of components we purchase. We intend to continue negotiations with our vendors regarding the timing and extent of any tariff pass-through costs, and where possible, will seek alternative supply sources with lower-priced components.
Historically, we have generally been able to offset net cost increases over time, but given the size and nature of the tariffs currently in the process of being implemented and future tariffs being discussed, it may not be possible or desirable for us to pass on the full impact of tariff increases immediately as we are conscious of the impact it likely would have on the retail consumer and their demand for our products. Once a clearer and more certain picture of the tariff environment is established, we will be in a position to more fully assess the potential impact tariffs may have on our product selling prices and our operating results.
It is extremely difficult to predict when or whether future supply chain issues related to chassis or other components used in the production of RVs will arise, especially when considering the impact tariffs may have on the availability of goods. Modifying available chassis for certain motorized products to use for other products is not a viable alternative, particularly in the short term, due to engineering requirements. Uncertainties related to changing state and federal emission standards may also negatively impact the availability of chassis used in our production of certain North American motorized RVs and could also impact consumer buying patterns. The North American recreational vehicle industry has, from time to time in the past, experienced shortages of chassis for various reasons, including component shortages, production delays or other production issues and work stoppages at the chassis manufacturers.
While the North American RV industry has at times faced supply shortages or delivery delays of other, non-chassis raw material components, the supply chain is currently able to support our demand, but that could change quickly, and with little advance notice, given the current and potential future impact tariffs and other macroeconomic or political factors may have on supply. If any of these factors were to impact our suppliers’ ability to fully supply our needs for key components, our costs of such components and our production output could be adversely affected.
European RV Industry
The Company monitors industry conditions in the European RV market using a number of resources including its own performance tracking and modeling. The Company also considers retail trends in the European RV market as reported by the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”) and its members. On a monthly basis, the Company receives OEM-specific reports for most of the individual member countries that make up the ECF through the Caravaning Industrie Verband e.V. (“CIVD”). The timing of these reports may vary, but typically they are issued on a one-to-two-month lag. While most countries provide OEM-specific information, the United Kingdom, which made up 15.2% and 9.4% of the caravan and motorcaravan (including campervans) European market for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, does not provide OEM-specific information. Industry wholesale shipment data for the European RV market is not available.
Within Europe, over 90% of our sales are made to dealers within 10 different European countries. The market conditions, as well as the operating status of our independent dealers within each country, vary based on the various local economic and other conditions. It is inherently difficult to generalize about the operating conditions within the entire European region.
Independent dealer inventory of our European RV products as of July 31, 2025 was approximately 22,200 units as compared to approximately 26,200 units as of July 31, 2024. In both Germany, which accounts for approximately 60% of our European product sales, and in the other various countries we serve, independent RV dealer inventory levels of our motorized European products are generally in line with historic seasonal levels, while campervan and towable inventory is slightly elevated.
36
Our European Recreational Vehicle backlog as of July 31, 2025 decreased $425,201, or 21.8%, to $1,525,592 compared to $1,950,793 as of July 31, 2024, primarily due to improved chassis supply availability and a return to normalized dealer inventory levels at July 31, 2025.

European Outlook
Our European operations offer a full lineup of leisure vehicles including caravans and motorized products including urban vehicles, campervans and small-to-large motorcaravans. Our product offerings are not limited to vehicles only but also include accessories and services, including vehicle rentals. We address European retail customers through a sophisticated brand management approach based on consumer segmentation according to target group, core values and emotions. With the assistance of data-based and digital marketing, we intend to continue expanding our retail customer reach to new and younger consumer segments.
The impact of current macroeconomic factors on our business, including inflation and interest rates, environmental and sustainability regulations and geopolitical events, is uncertain. Our outlook for future European RV retail sales depends upon the various economic and regulatory conditions in the respective countries in which we sell our products. End-customer demand for RVs depends strongly on consumer confidence. Factors such as the rate of unemployment, the rate of inflation, private consumption and investments, the level of disposable income of consumers, interest rates, the health of the housing market, tax rates and regulatory restrictions and, since the pandemic, travel safety considerations all influence retail sales. While confidence remains in our customer base, in the short term, we expect to continue to experience downward pressure on overall sales volume due to the current macroeconomic environment. Our long-term outlook for future growth in European RV retail sales remains positive due to favorable demographic trends and as more people utilize RVs as a way to support their lifestyle in search of independence and individuality, as well as using the RV as a multi-purpose vehicle to escape urban life and explore outdoor activities and nature.
37
We and our independent European dealers market our European recreational vehicles through multiple avenues including at numerous RV fairs at the country and regional levels which occur throughout the calendar year. These fairs have historically been well-attended events that allow retail consumers to see the newest products, features and designs and to talk with product experts in addition to being able to purchase or order an RV. The most recent major industry fair, the 2025 Caravan Salon show in September 2025, experienced near-record attendance, which demonstrates the continued high level of interest in the RV lifestyle. In addition to our attendance at various strategic trade fairs, we have and will continue to strengthen and expand our digital activities to reach high potential target groups, generate leads and steer customers directly to dealerships. With approximately 1,100 active independent dealers in Germany and throughout Europe with whom we do business, we believe our European brands have one of the strongest and most professionally structured dealer and service networks in Europe.
Economic or industry-wide factors affecting our European RV operating results include the availability and costs of commodities and component parts and the labor used in the manufacture of our products. Labor agreements and various governmental regulations are primary drivers in the cost of our labor force and impact how and when we can adjust our labor force to align with changing production needs. Adjusting our full-time workforce downwards in most of the locations where we operate in Europe generally results in negotiated separation costs, which may be material depending on the size of the workforce reduction. Material and labor costs are the primary factors determining our cost of products sold and any future increases in these costs could negatively impact our profit margins if we are unable to offset those costs through a combination of product recontenting, material sourcing strategies, efficiency improvements, headcount reductions or raising the selling prices for our products by corresponding amounts.
While overall chassis supply has improved, disruption in the sequence of chassis supply has in the past inhibited, and could in the future, inhibit our ability to efficiently and consistently maintain our planned production levels. Uncertainties related to changing emission standards may also negatively impact the availability of chassis and/or other components used in our production of certain European motorized RVs and could also impact consumer buying patterns.
When possible, to minimize the future impact of supply chain constraints, we have identified a second-source supplier base for certain component parts; however, engineering requirements associated with an alternate component part, particularly the chassis on which our various units are built, could limit the impact of these alternative suppliers on reducing any near-term supply constraints.
In addition to potential future material supply constraints, labor shortages have in the past impacted, and could in the future, impact our European operations given the numerous locations where our manufacturing sites are located and the differing availability of skilled labor in those locations. As previously noted, high levels of labor costs and limitations on our ability to reduce those costs commensurate with market conditions have in the past, and could in the future, negatively impact our European operations.

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

IMPACT OF CHANGE IN PRODUCT MIX AND PRICE ON NET SALES: %Change
North American Towable
Travel Trailers (9.5)
Fifth Wheels 6.6
Total North American Towable (3.3)
The increase in total North American Towable net sales of 2.9% compared to the prior fiscal year resulted from a 6.2% increase in unit shipments and a 3.3% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in product mix and price. The increase in unit shipments was primarily due to the heightened demand for the lower-cost travel trailer units as compared to the prior year. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the twelve months ended July 31, 2025, combined travel trailer and fifth wheel wholesale unit shipments increased 6.3% compared to the same period last year. According to statistics published by Stat Surveys, for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our retail market share for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined was 38.4% and 40.3%, respectively.
The decrease in the overall net price per unit within the travel trailer product line of 9.5% during fiscal 2025 was primarily due to current product mix trending toward more moderately-priced units as compared to the prior year. The increase within the fifth wheel product line of 6.6% during fiscal 2025 was primarily due to product mix changes and lower sales discounting as compared to fiscal 2024.
North American Towable cost of products sold increased $35,405 to $3,287,690, or 86.9% of North American Towable net sales, for fiscal 2025 compared to $3,252,285, or 88.4% of North American Towable net sales, for fiscal 2024. Changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $27,822 of the $35,405 increase in cost of products sold. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American Towable net sales were 78.8% for fiscal 2025 and 80.2% for fiscal 2024, with the reduction including a decrease in the material cost percentage, primarily due to lower sales discounting, and the warranty cost percentage also improved.
Total manufacturing overhead increased $7,583 in correlation with the increase in net sales and decreased slightly as a percentage of North American Towable net sales from 8.2% to 8.1%, as the increased net sales levels resulted in lower overhead costs per unit sold. Variable costs included in manufacturing overhead increased $7,746 in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 as a result of the increase in North American Towable net sales.

The increase of $69,590 in North American Towable gross profit for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 is driven by the increase in North American Towable net sales coupled with the increase in the gross profit percentage, which is due to the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.
The increase of $10,206 in North American Towable selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the impact of the increase in North American Towable net sales and income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, incentive and other compensation to increase by $7,679. The slight increase in the overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of North American Towable net sales is primarily due to an increase in the incentive compensation cost percentage due to the increase in income before income taxes.
The increase of $77,780 in North American Towable income before income taxes for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the increase in North American Towable net sales and the improvement in the cost of products sold percentage, as well as an increase of $14,797 in gains on the sales of property, plant and equipment primarily related to the strategic organizational restructuring of the Heartland towable operations in fiscal 2025. The primary reason for the increase in the income before income taxes percentage was the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.

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

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

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

Principal Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our principal contractual obligations and commercial commitments at July 31, 2025 are summarized in the following charts. Unrecognized income tax benefits in the amount of $13,688 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 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(2)See Note 15 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, 2025 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, 2025 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:
49
Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill results from the excess of purchase price over the net assets of an acquired business. The Company’s reporting units are generally the same as its operating segments, which are identified in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually as of May 31 of each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. The total carrying value of goodwill as of July 31, 2025 is $1,841,118. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of changes in carrying value by fiscal year and reportable segment. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to that excess is recognized, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. As part of the annual impairment testing, the Company may utilize a qualitative approach rather than a quantitative approach to determine if an impairment exists, considering various factors including industry changes, actual results as compared to forecasted results, or the timing of a recent acquisition, if applicable.
For the Company’s May 31, 2025 annual impairment test, certain reporting units showed fair value exceeding carrying value by less than 25%. The aggregate value of goodwill in these reporting units is approximately 75% of the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance. Fair values are determined using discounted cash flow models, and these estimates are subject to significant management judgment, including the determination of many factors and inputs such as, but not limited to, sales growth rates, gross margin patterns, cost growth rates, terminal value assumptions and discount rates developed using market observable inputs and consideration of risk regarding future performance. Market multiples derived from selected guideline public companies are also utilized to evaluate the discounted cash flow models. Changes in any of these estimates can have a significant impact on the determination of fair value. Additionally, market data and factors outside the Company’s control, such as interest rates, dealer and end consumer demand, consumer preferences or unexpected competition could have a significant impact on estimated fair values. Changes in any of these estimates or other factors could potentially result in future material impairments in one or more of the Company’s reporting units.
The Company’s intangible assets are dealer networks, trademarks and design technology and other intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions. Dealer networks are valued on a Discounted Cash Flow method and are amortized on an accelerated basis over 12 to 20 years, with amortization beginning after any applicable backlog amortization is completed. Trademarks and design technology assets are both valued on a Relief of Royalty method and are both amortized on a straight-line basis, using lives of 15 to 25 years for trademarks and 10 to 15 years for design technology assets, respectively. Amortizable intangible assets, net as of July 31, 2025 totaled $758,758. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the components of that balance.
We review our tangible and intangible long-lived assets (individually or in a related group, as appropriate) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable from future cash flows attributable to the assets. We continually assess whether events or changes in circumstances represent a ‘triggering’ event that would require us to complete an impairment assessment. Factors that we consider in determining whether a triggering event has occurred include, among other things, whether there has been a significant adverse change in legal factors, business climate or competition related to the operation of the asset, whether there has been a significant decrease in actual or expected operating results related to the asset and whether there are current plans to sell or dispose of the asset. The determination of whether a triggering event has occurred is subject to significant management judgment, including at which point or fiscal quarter a triggering event has occurred when the relevant adverse factors persist over extended periods.
The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2025, and no impairment was identified. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding goodwill and intangible assets.
50
Product Warranty
We generally provide retail customers of our products with either a one-year or two-year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, with longer warranties on certain structural components or other items. We record a liability, which totaled $291,130 at July 31, 2025, based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle unpaid existing claims and estimated future claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors we use in estimating the warranty liability include a history of retail sold units, existing THOR units in dealer inventory, historical average costs per unit incurred and a profile of the distribution of warranty expenditures over the warranty period. A significant increase in service shop rates, the cost of parts or the frequency of claims could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period or periods in which such additional claims or costs materialize. Management believes that the warranty liability is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserves.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates as well as inflation. At times, the Company enters into hedging transactions to mitigate certain of these risks in accordance with guidelines established by the Company’s management. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK – The Company’s principal currency exposures mainly relate to the Euro and British Pound Sterling. The Company has used foreign currency forward contracts to manage certain foreign exchange rate exposure related to anticipated sales transactions in Pound Sterling with financial instruments whose maturity date, along with the realized gain or loss, occurs on or near the execution of the anticipated transaction.
The Company also holds $373,812 of debt denominated in Euros at July 31, 2025. A hypothetical 10% change in the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate would change our July 31, 2025 debt balance by an estimated $37,381.
INTEREST RATE RISK– In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates that could affect our results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to interest rate risks through our regular operations and financing activities. Based on our assumption of the Company’s floating-rate debt levels over the next 12 months, a one-percentage-point increase in interest rates (approximately 19.6% of our weighted-average interest rate at July 31, 2025) would result in an estimated $4,138 reduction in income before income taxes over a one-year period.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK – The Company is subject to market risk from fluctuating market prices for certain purchased raw materials, including steel and aluminum, and we purchase component parts containing various commodities as well which are integrated into our manufactured products. While such materials are typically available through multiple suppliers, commodity raw materials are inherently subject to price fluctuations and could impact our results of operations. As part of its normal ongoing operations, the Company negotiates with suppliers regarding the timing and extent of any commodity price increases.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Part A – Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and the Company’s management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company has carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Part B – Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and members of our Board of Directors and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025 using the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, management believes that as of July 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. The report appears in Part D of this Item 9A.
Part C – Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

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

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

(All Dollar and Euro amounts are presented in thousands, except share and per share data or as otherwise specified)
1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations – THOR Industries, Inc. was founded in 1980 and is the sole owner of operating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “THOR”), that, combined, represent the world’s largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) by units sold and revenue. The Company manufactures a wide variety of RVs in the United States and Europe and sells those vehicles, as well as related parts and accessories, primarily to independent, non-franchise dealers throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Unless the context requires or indicates otherwise, all references to “THOR,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to THOR Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The Company’s business activities are primarily comprised of three distinct operations, which include the design, manufacture and sale of North American Towable Recreational Vehicles, North American Motorized Recreational Vehicles and European Recreational Vehicles, with the European vehicles including both towable and motorized products as well as other RV-related products and services. Accordingly, the Company has presented financial information for these three segments in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of THOR Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates all majority-owned subsidiaries, and all intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The results of any companies acquired during a year are included in the consolidated financial statements for the applicable year from the effective date of the acquisition.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Key estimates include the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities, reserves for inventory, incurred but not reported medical claims, warranty claims, dealer promotional accruals, workers’ compensation claims, vehicle repurchases, uncertain tax positions, product and non-product litigation and assumptions made in asset impairment assessments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company believes that such estimates are made using consistent and appropriate methods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Interest-bearing deposits and other investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. At July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents of $329,358 and $318,918, respectively, were held by one U.S. financial institution. In addition, at July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, the equivalent of $121,092 and $90,816, respectively, was held in Euros by one European financial institution. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by a financial institution holding cash in excess of federally insured limits. The Company mitigates risk by using large financial institutions and short-term money market instruments that are direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and/or repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company has not experienced any realized losses on its cash and cash equivalents.
Derivatives – The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. The Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value using available market information and other observable data. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The fair value of long-term debt is discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inventories – Inventories are primarily determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis, with the remainder on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for inventories determined based on LIFO, which are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Manufacturing costs included in inventory include materials, labor, freight-in and manufacturing overhead. Unallocated overhead and abnormal costs are expensed as incurred.
F-7
Depreciation – Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements – 10 to 39 years
Machinery and equipment – 3 to 10 years
Rental vehicles – 6 years
Depreciation expense is recorded in cost of products sold, except for $25,420, $24,240 and $26,999 in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which relates primarily to office buildings and office equipment and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Business Combinations – The Company accounts for the acquisition of a business using the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributed to noncontrolling interests, are recorded at the acquisition date at their fair values. Assigning fair values requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, inventory, property, plant and equipment, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, and liabilities, such as uncertain tax positions and contingencies. The Company may refine these estimates, if necessary, over a period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, by taking into consideration new information that, if known at the acquisition date, would have affected the fair values ascribed to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill – Goodwill results from the excess of purchase price over the net assets of an acquired business. The Company’s reporting units are generally the same as its operating segments, which are identified in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually as of May 31 of each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to that excess is recognized, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
Long-lived Assets – Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangibles that are amortized, amongst others, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable from future cash flows. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group is impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets consist of trademarks, dealer networks/customer relationships, design technology and non-compete agreements. Trademarks are amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 to 25 years. Dealer networks/customer relationships are amortized on an accelerated basis over 12 to 20 years, with amortization beginning after backlog amortization is completed, if applicable. Design technology and non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over 2 to 15 years.
Product Warranties – Estimated warranty costs are provided at the time of sale of the related products. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Insurance Reserves – Generally, the Company is self-insured for workers’ compensation, products liability and group medical insurance. Upon the exhaustion of the applicable deductibles or retentions, the Company maintains insurance coverage. Under these plans, liabilities are recognized for claims incurred, including those incurred but not reported. The liability for workers’ compensation claims is determined by the Company with the assistance of a third-party administrator and actuary using various state statutes and historical claims experience. Group medical reserves are estimated using historical claims experience. The Company has established a liability for product liability and personal injury occurrences based on historical data, known cases and actuarial information.
Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied. The Company’s recreational vehicle and other sales contracts have a single performance obligation of providing the promised goods (recreational vehicles or component parts, as applicable), which is satisfied when control of the goods is transferred to the customer.
For recreational vehicle sales, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation has been satisfied and control of the product is transferred to the dealer, which generally aligns with shipping terms. Shipping terms vary depending on regional contracting practices. U.S. customers primarily contract under FOB shipping point terms. European customers generally contract on ExWorks (“EXW”) incoterms (meaning the seller fulfills its obligation to deliver when it makes goods available at its premises, or another specified location, for the buyer to collect). Under EXW incoterms, the performance obligation is satisfied and control is transferred at the point when the customer is notified that the vehicle is available for pickup. Customers do not have a right of return. Most warranties provided are assurance-type warranties.
F-8
In addition to recreational vehicle sales, the Company also sells specialized component parts and aluminum extrusions to RV original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket sales through dealers and retailers. The Company’s European recreational vehicle reportable segment also sells accessory items and provides repair services through our two owned dealerships. Each part or item represents a distinct performance obligation satisfied when control of the good is transferred to the customer. Service and repair contracts with customers are short term in nature and are recognized when the service is complete.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the Company’s products and services. The amount of revenue recognized includes adjustments for any variable consideration, such as sales discounts, sales allowances, promotions, rebates and other sales incentives which are included in the transaction price and allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling price. The Company estimates variable consideration based on the expected value of total consideration to which customers are likely to be entitled to based primarily on historical experience and current market conditions. Included in the estimate is an assessment as to whether any variable consideration is constrained. Revenue estimates are adjusted at the earlier of a change in the expected value of consideration or when the consideration becomes fixed. During fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, adjustments to revenue from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods, which relate primarily to changes in estimated variable consideration, were immaterial.
Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling activities are included in net sales. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities, and these costs are predominantly included in cost of products sold. We do not disclose information about the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations at period end because our contracts generally have original expected durations of one year or less. In addition, we expense when incurred contract acquisition costs, primarily sales commissions, because the amortization period, which is aligned with the contract term, is one year or less.
Advertising Costs – Advertising costs, which includes trade shows, are expensed as incurred and were $78,352, $77,029 and $66,169 in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Foreign Currency – The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and, for revenues and expenses, the weighted-average exchange rate for each applicable period, and the resulting translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss), net of tax. Transaction gains and losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes are recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Repurchase Agreements – The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for certain independent domestic and foreign dealers of certain of its RV products. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Income Taxes – The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The actual outcome of these future tax consequences could differ from our estimates and have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the Company has to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, voluntary settlements and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.
Judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances must be considered due to the uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets. The Company assesses whether valuation allowances should be established against our deferred tax assets on a tax jurisdictional basis based on the consideration of all available evidence, including cumulative income over recent periods, using a more likely than not standard.
F-9
Research and Development – Research and development costs are expensed when incurred and totaled $48,584, $49,380 and $36,592 in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation – The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of stock-based awards, including restricted stock units and performance stock units, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally three years, while some stock-based awards use a graded vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures, which is based on historical forfeiture rates over the vesting period of employee awards.
Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to THOR Industries, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to THOR Industries, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution.The difference between basic EPS and diluted EPS is the result of unvested restricted stock units and performance stock units as follows:
The Company excludes unvested restricted stock units and performance stock units that have an antidilutive effect from its calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding. Antidilutive unvested restricted stock units and performance stock units excluded from the July 31, 2025, July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 calculations were not material.
Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”) “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which requires additional disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, or the annual report for fiscal 2025 for the Company, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, or interim periods starting in fiscal 2026 for the Company. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective July 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, requiring enhancements and further transparency to certain income tax disclosures. Under this ASU, entities must disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. The new standard also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. ASU 2023-09 is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2026 beginning on August 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” as updated by ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date”, issued in January 2025. This guidance provides updates to qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements over the disaggregation of relevant expense captions within the income statement to provide more transparency and useful information on expenses within the income statement including tabular presentation of prescribed expense categories such as the purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and inclusion of other specific expense, gains and losses required by existing GAAP with reconciliation of disaggregation to the face of the income statement. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year ending July 31, 2028. We are currently evaluating the impact the guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements.

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

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

4.INVENTORIES
Major classifications of inventories are as follows:
Of the $1,500,608 and $1,514,748 of inventories at July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, $1,089,453 and $1,109,062, respectively, was valued on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis, and $411,155 and $405,686, respectively, was valued on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. During fiscal years 2024 and 2023 the amount of inventories in certain LIFO pools decreased and resulted in the liquidation of LIFO inventory layers carried at lower costs. The effect of these liquidations was to increase consolidated net income before income taxes in fiscal 2024 by approximately $29,200, with $23,900 in the North American Motorized segment and the remainder in the North American Towable segment, and to increase consolidated net income before income taxes in fiscal 2023 by approximately $8,300, all in the North American Towable segment.
5.PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:
Lease right-of-use assets – operating 41,755 43,139
Lease right-of-use assets – finance 4,026 4,772
See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the lease right-of-use assets.
The Company anticipates that strategic sales of certain RV facilities and related equipment will occur during fiscal 2026 and as a result, property, plant and equipment with a total net carrying value of $49,740, primarily consisting of buildings and improvements, has been classified as assets held for sale and included in Prepaid income taxes, expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2025.

7.EQUITY INVESTMENTS
Effective December 30, 2022, the Company entered into a Subscription and Contribution Agreement with TechNexus Holdings LLC (“TechNexus”), whereby the Company transferred TH2Connect, LLC d/b/a Roadpass Digital (“Roadpass Digital”) and its associated legal entities to TN-RP Holdings, LLC (“TN-RP”), a new legal entity formed by TechNexus, in a non-cash transaction following which the Company and TechNexus own 100% 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 manages 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.
As a result of the December 30, 2022 agreements and the factors noted above, the Company no longer had a controlling financial interest in Roadpass Digital which resulted in the deconsolidation of Roadpass Digital subsequent to December 30, 2022. The Company’s investment in TN-RP was valued at approximately $105,600 as of the agreement date based on the Discounted Cash Flow Method and Option Pricing Model. This fair value measurement includes significant management judgment, particularly estimates of future cash flows based on revenues and margins that TN-RP is forecasted to generate in the future, terminal value assumptions and discount rates developed using market observable inputs and consideration of risks regarding future performance. Additionally, the Option Pricing Model further utilized estimates related to volatility, incorporating a selection of guideline public companies, and expected time to exit. The Discounted Cash Flow Method and Option Pricing Model both used level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820.
The derecognition of the Roadpass Digital net assets and recognition of the Company’s investment in TN-RP resulted in an immaterial gain that the Company recognized in Other income, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in fiscal 2023.
TN-RP is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), in which both the Company and TechNexus each have a variable interest. The Company’s equity interest, which entitles the Company to a share of future distributions from TN-RP, represents a variable interest. The Company has significant influence due to its Class A-RP unit ownership interest, non-majority seats on the TN-RP advisory board and certain protective rights, and therefore the Company’s investment in TN-RP is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and reported as a component of Equity investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Similarly, the Company holds an additional investment that is also a VIE over which the Company has significant influence. This is also reported as a component of Equity investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
F-20
The Company had the following aggregate investment and maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs:
The Company’s share of income and losses accounted for under the equity method of accounting are included in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The losses recognized in the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025, July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 were $3,775, $13,106 and $10,130, respectively.
8.CONCENTRATION OF RISK
One dealer, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for approximately 14% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 and approximately 13% in fiscal 2023. The majority of the sales to this dealer are reported within the North American Towable and North American Motorized segments. This dealer also accounted for approximately 14% of the Company’s consolidated trade accounts receivable at July 31, 2025 and approximately 10% at July 31, 2024. The loss of this dealer or a deterioration in the liquidity or creditworthiness of this dealer could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
9.EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Substantially all non-highly compensated U.S. employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan according to a matching formula determined by each operating subsidiary. Total expense for the plan was $5,403 in fiscal 2025, $4,840 in fiscal 2024 and $5,179 in fiscal 2023.
The Company has established a deferred compensation plan for highly compensated U.S. employees who are not eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. This plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation and the Company then invests the funds in a combination of corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) and mutual fund investments held by the Company. The employee deferrals and the results and returns of the investments selected by the participants, which totaled $146,064 at July 31, 2025 and $130,218 at July 31, 2024, are recorded as Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investments held by the Company are accounted for at cash surrender value for COLI and at fair value for mutual fund investments. Both types of company-owned assets, which in total approximate the same value as the plan liabilities, are reported as Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the value of the plan assets are reflected within Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Changes in the value of the liability are reflected within Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company does not make matching contributions to the deferred compensation plan.
10.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities using a three-level hierarchy, as prescribed in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” as defined below:
•Level 1 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and are the most observable.
•Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted market prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 inputs are not observable, are supported by little or no market activity and include management’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
F-21
The financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024 are as follows:
Deferred compensation plan mutual fund assets Level 1 $ 12,302 $ 28,985
Equity investments Level 1 $ — $ 1,169
Interest rate swap liabilities, net Level 2 $ 1,210 $ 1,137
Warrants to purchase shares Level 2 $ 10,885 $ —
Cash equivalents represent investments in short-term money market instruments that are direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and/or repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. These investments are reported as a component of Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Deferred compensation plan assets accounted for at fair value are investments in securities (primarily mutual funds) traded in an active market held for the benefit of certain employees of the Company as part of a deferred compensation plan. Additional plan investments in corporate-owned life insurance are recorded at their cash surrender value, not fair value, and therefore are not included above.
Equity investments represent certain stock investments that are publicly traded in an active market.
