WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES INC

(All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise designated)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The use of the terms "Winnebago Industries," "Winnebago," "we," "our," and "us" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, refers to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein are prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in these consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments, unless noted otherwise in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and reflects all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.

The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 26, 2023 filed with the SEC. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 31, 2024.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income represents the change in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from sources other than shareholders. As of February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023, the difference between comprehensive income and net income was not material.

Subsequent Events

In preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, we have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing noting no material subsequent events.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which requires expanded disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires incremental disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Business Combinations

Lithionics Battery, LLC

On April 28, 2023, we purchased 100% of the equity interests of Lithionics Battery, LLC and Lithionics LLC (collectively, "Lithionics"), a premier lithium-ion battery solutions provider to the recreational equipment and specialty vehicle markets. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the impact on our consolidated financial statements was not material.

Total transaction costs related to the Lithionics acquisition of $3.1 million were expensed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2023. Transaction costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 3. Business Segments

We have eight operating segments: 1) Grand Design towables, 2) Winnebago towables, 3) Winnebago motorhomes, 4) Newmar motorhomes, 5) Chris-Craft marine, 6) Barletta marine, 7) Winnebago specialty vehicles, and 8) Lithionics. Financial performance is evaluated based on each operating segment's Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined below, which excludes certain corporate administration expenses and non-operating income and expense.

Ourthree reportable segments are: Towable RV (an aggregation of the Grand Design towables and the Winnebago towables operating segments); Motorhome RV (an aggregation of the Winnebago motorhomes and Newmar motorhomes operating segments); and Marine (an aggregation of the Chris-Craft marine and Barletta marine operating segments). Towable RV is comprised of non-motorized RV products that are generally towed by another vehicle, along with other related manufactured products and services. Motorhome RV is comprised of products that include a motorhome chassis, along with other related manufactured products and services. Marine is comprised of products that include boats, along with other related manufactured products and services.

The Corporate / All Other category includes the Winnebago specialty vehicles and Lithionics operating segments as well as certain corporate administration expenses related to the oversight of the enterprise, such as corporate leadership and administration costs.

Identifiable assets of the reportable segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and certain deferred tax balances. The general corporate assets are included in the Corporate / All Other category.

Our Chief Executive Officer (the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM")) regularly reviews consolidated financial results in their entirety and operating segment financial information through Adjusted EBITDA and has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. Our CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the consolidated enterprise, reportable segments and between operating segments. Management of each operating segment has responsibility for operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance within their respective operating segment. The accounting policies of all reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 26, 2023.

We monitor and evaluate operating performance of our reportable segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. We believe disclosing Adjusted EBITDA is useful to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties when evaluating companies in our industries. EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and other pretax adjustments made in order to present comparable results period over period. Examples of items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include acquisition-related costs, change in fair value of note receivable, contingent consideration fair value adjustment, loss on note repurchase, and non-operating income or loss.

Financial information by reportable segment is as follows:

Reconciliation of net income to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Note 4. Investments and Fair Value Measurements

In determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, we utilize market data or other assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market and adjust for non-performance and/or other risks associated with us as well as counterparties, as appropriate. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2 —Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 —Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Assets that Fund Deferred Compensation

Our assets that fund deferred compensation are marketable equity securities measured at fair value using quoted market prices and primarily consist of equity-based mutual funds. These securities, used to fund the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, are classified as Level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing stock prices are readily available. Refer to Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 26, 2023 for additional information regarding these plans.

The proportion of the assets that will fund the deferred compensation payments within a year are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining assets are classified as non-current and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration represents the earnout liability related to the Barletta acquisition and is valued using a probability-weighted scenario analysis of projected gross profit results and discounted at a risk-free rate. The contingent consideration is classified as Level 3. Actual gross profit results may differ significantly from those used in the estimate above, which may affect future payments. Changes in future payments will be reflected in future operating results as they occur. As of February 24, 2024 and August 26, 2023, the entire earnout liability was included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 26, 2023 for additional information regarding the contingent consideration earnout provisions.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the contingent consideration:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain financial instruments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets primarily include goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and right-of-use lease assets. These assets were originally recognized at amounts equal to the fair value determined at date of acquisition or purchase. If certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, we will evaluate the non-financial asset for impairment. If an impairment has occurred, the asset will be written down to its current estimated fair value. No impairments were recorded for non-financial assets in the six months ended February 24, 2024 or February 25, 2023.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

Certain financial instruments are not measured at fair value but are recorded at carrying amounts approximating fair value based on their short-term nature. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and other payables. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using current quoted prices in active markets for our publicly traded debt obligations, which is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fair value of our long-term debt.

Note 5. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

Inventory valuation methods consist of the following:

The above inventory value, before reduction for the LIFO reserve, approximates replacement cost at the respective dates.

Note 6. Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and consists of the following:

Depreciation expense was $8.5 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023, respectively; and $16.6 million and $13.3 million for the six months ended February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023, respectively.

Note 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment is as follows:

(1)There was no activity in the six months ended February 24, 2024.

Other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, consist of the following:

The weig hted average remaining amortization period for intangible assets as of February 24, 2024 was approximately seven years.

Estimated future amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets is as follows:

Note 8. Product Warranties

We provide certain service and warranty on our products. From time to time, we also voluntarily incur costs for certain warranty-type expenses occurring after the normal warranty period expires to help protect the reputation of our products and maintain the goodwill of our customers. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon historical warranty and service claims experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and cost experience becomes available.

In addition to the costs associated with the contractual warranty coverage provided on products, we also occasionally incur costs as a result of additional service actions not covered by warranties, including product recalls and customer satisfaction actions. Although we estimate and reserve for the cost of these service actions when probable and estimable, there can be no assurance that expense levels will remain at current levels or such reserves will continue to be adequate.

Changes in the product warranty liability are as follows:

Note 9. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:

Credit Agreements

On July 15, 2022, we amended and restated our asset-backed revolving credit agreement ("ABL Credit Facility") to, among other things, increase the commitments available from $192.5 million to $350.0 million and extend the maturity date from October 22, 2024 to July 15, 2027 (subject to certain factors which may accelerate the maturity date). The $350.0 million credit facility is on a revolving basis, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The ABL Credit Facility is available for issuance of letters of credit to a specified limit of $35.0 million. We pay a commitment fee of 0.25% based on the average daily amount of the facility available, but unused during the most recent quarter. We can elect to base the interest rate on various rates plus specific spreads depending on the borrowing amount outstanding. If drawn, interest on ABL

Credit Facility borrowings is at a floating rate based upon our election, either term SOFR or REVSOFR30 (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility agreement), plus, in each case, a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, as well as an applicable spread between 1.25% and 1.75%, depending on the usage of the facility during the most recent quarter. Based on current usage, we would pay an applicable spread of 1.25%. In connection with the amendment, we capitalized $1.2 million of issuance costs that are being amortized over thefive-year term of the ABL Credit Facility.

Senior Secured Notes

On July 8, 2020, we closed our private offering (the “Senior Secured Notes Offering”) of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes were issued in accordance with an Indenture dated as of July 8, 2020 (the “Indenture”). The Senior Secured Notes will mature on July 15, 2028 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes accrues starting July 8, 2020 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, which began on January 15, 2021.

Debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated debt agreement. If early principal payments are made on the Senior Secured Notes, a proportional amount of the unamortized debt issuance costs is expensed. As part of the Senior Secured Notes Offering, we capitalized $7.5 million in debt issuance costs that are being amortized over theeight-year term of the agreement.

2030 Convertible Notes

On January 23, 2024, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2030 (“2030 Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $339.8 million. The 2030 Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 3.25%, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2024, and will mature on January 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

The 2030 Convertible Notes may be converted at any time on or after July 15, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date. Upon conversion, we will settle the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes in cash, and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.

The initial conversion rate of the 2030 Convertible Notes was 11.3724 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $87.93 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events specified in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest on any 2030 Convertible Note being converted. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) during the make-whole fundamental change conversion period (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes), the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by the number of additional shares described in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes for a holder that elects to convert such holder’s 2030 Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. As of February 24, 2024, there have been no changes to the initial conversion rate.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 15, 2029, the 2030 Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances:

1. during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price per share of the common stock is more than 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

2. during thefive consecutive business day period immediately after anyfive consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period to the 2030 Convertible Notes") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period to the 2030 Convertible Notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the common stock and the conversion rate for the 2030 Convertible Notes on each such trading day;

3. upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events set forth in the indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes; or

4. if we call such 2030 Convertible Notes for redemption (as described below)

The 2030 Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after January 15, 2028 and on or before the 40 th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time (as defined in the indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes). The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On January 18, 2024 and January 19, 2024, in connection with the offering of the 2030 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “2030 Hedge Transactions”) that cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2030 Convertible Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount due, as the case may be, upon conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes in the event that the market price of our common stock is greater than the strike price of the 2030 Hedge Transactions, which was initially $87.93 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the 2030 Hedge Transactions), corresponding to the initial conversion price of the 2030 Convertible Notes.

On January 18, 2024 and January 19, 2024, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the “2030 Warrant Transactions” and, together with the 2030 Hedge Transactions, the “2030 Call Spread Transactions”), whereby we sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2030 Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The initial strike price of the 2030 warrants is $135.28 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the 2030 Warrant Transactions), which is approximately 100% above the last reported sale price of our common stock on January 18, 2024. The 2030 Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to our stockholders to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2030 Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.

The 2030 Hedge Transactions and the 2030 Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, are not part of the terms of the 2030 Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the 2030 Convertible Notes. Holders of the 2030 Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 2030 Call Spread Transactions.

Accounting Treatment of the 2030 Convertible Notes and Related 2030 Hedge Transactions and 2030 Warrant Transactions

The 2030 Convertible Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. Interest expense, representing the amortization of the $10.2 million of debt issuance costs as well as the contractual interest expense is amortized using an effective interest rate of 3.8% over the term of the 2030 Convertible Notes. We recorded $1.1 million of interest expense during the three and six months ended February 24, 2024.

The net after-tax cost incurred in connection with the 2030 Call Spread Transactions was $20.6 million. These transactions are classified as equity and are not remeasured each reporting period.

2025 Convertible Notes

On November 1, 2019, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.5% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2025 (“2025 Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expense payable by us, were approximately $290.2 million. The 2025 Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 1.5%, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020, and will mature on April 1, 2025, unless earlier converted or repurchased by us.

The 2025 Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election, at an initial conversion rate of 15.6906 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $63.73 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2025 Convertible Notes. The 2025 Convertible Notes may be converted at any time on or after October 1, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The conversion rate of the 2025 Convertible Notes may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in connection with a conversion of the 2025 Convertible Notes made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances set forth in the indenture to the 2025 Convertible Notes. As of February 24, 2024, the conversion rate was 15.9923 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $62.53. The difference between the initial conversion rate and the conversion rate as of February 24, 2024 is due to cash dividends that have been declared following the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes.

It is our current intent to settle all conversions of the 2025 Convertible Notes in cash. Our ability to cash settle may be limited depending on the stock price at the time of conversion.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 1, 2024, the 2025 Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances:

1. during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2019 if the closing sale price of the common stock is more than 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

2. during thefive consecutive business day period after anyfive consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period to the 2025 Convertible Notes") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period to the 2025 Convertible Notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate for the 2025 Convertible Notes on each such trading day; or

3. upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events set forth in the indenture for the 2025 Convertible Notes.

We may not redeem the 2025 Convertible Notes at our option prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Convertible Notes.

On October 29, 2019 and October 30, 2019, in connection with the offering of the 2025 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “2025 Hedge Transactions”) that cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2025 Convertible Notes.

On October 29, 2019 and October 30, 2019, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the “2025 Warrant Transactions” and, together with the 2025 Hedge Transactions, the “2025 Call Spread Transactions”), whereby we sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2025 Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

The 2025 Hedge Transactions and the 2025 Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, and are not part of the terms of the 2025 Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the 2025 Convertible Notes. Holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 2025 Call Spread Transactions.

On January 18, 2024, we entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions (the "2025 Convertible Note Repurchases") with certain holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes to repurchase $240.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes using $293.8 million of the net proceeds received from the 2030 Convertible Notes. In connection with the 2025 Convertible Note Repurchases, we recorded a loss on note repurchase of $32.7 million in loss on note repurchase in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended February 24, 2024. The loss on note repurchase represents the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred to the holders of the repurchased 2025 Convertible Notes and the conversion value of 2025 Convertible Notes repurchased pursuant to the original conversion terms. Concurrently with the 2025 Convertible Note Repurchases, we entered into agreements to terminate a proportionate amount of the 2025 Call Spread Transactions, which resulted in net proceeds of $30.5 million recorded as equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accounting Treatment of the 2025 Convertible Notes and Related 2025 Hedge Transactions and 2025 Warrant Transactions

The 2025 Convertible Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. Interest expense, representing the amortization of the remaining debt issuance costs as well as the contractual interest expense is amortized using an effective interest rate of 2.1% over the term of the 2025 Convertible Notes. We recorded $1.1 million and $1.6 million of interest expense during the three months ended February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023, respectively; and we recorded $2.7 million and $3.1 million of interest expense during the six months ended February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023, respectively.

The 2025 Call Spread Transactions are classified as equity and are not remeasured each reporting period.

Fair Value and Future Maturities

The fair value of long-term debt, gross is as follows:

Aggregate contractual maturities of debt in future fiscal years are as follows:

We are in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants as of February 24, 2024.

Refer to Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 26, 2023 for additional information regarding our long-term debt.

Note 10. Employee and Retiree Benefits

Deferred compensation liabilities are as follows:

(1) Included in accrued compensation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 11. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

Repurchase Commitments

Generally, manufacturers in the same industries as us enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. Most dealers are financed on a "floorplan" basis under which a bank or finance company lends the dealer all, or substantially all, of the purchase price, collateralized by a security interest in the units purchased.

Our repurchase agreements generally provide that, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution, we will repurchase the financed merchandise. The terms of these agreements, which generally can last up to 24 months, provide that our liability will be the lesser of remaining principal owed by the dealer to the lending institution, or dealer invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. Our liability cannot exceed 100% of the dealer invoice. In certain instances, we also repurchase inventory from dealers due to state law or regulatory requirements that govern voluntary or involuntary relationship terminations. Although laws vary from state to state, some states have laws in place that require manufacturers of recreational vehicles or boats to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. The total contingent liability on all of our repurchase agreements was approximately $2,042.1 million and $1,816.7 million at February 24, 2024 and August 26, 2023, respectively.

Our loss reserve for repurchase commitments contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment regarding a number of factors. Our risk of loss related to these repurchase commitments is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous dealers and lenders. The aggregate contingent liability related to our repurchase agreements represents all financed dealer inventory at the period-end reporting date subject to a repurchase agreement, net of the greater of periodic reductions per the agreement or dealer principal payments. Based on these repurchase agreements and our historical loss experience, an associated loss reserve is established, which is included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our repurchase accrual was $1.3 million at February 24, 2024 and August 26, 2023. Repurchase risk is affected by the credit worthiness of our dealer network. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to establish the loss reserve for repurchase commitments.

There was no material activity related to repurchase agreements during the six months ended February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023.

Litigation

We are involved in various legal proceedings which are considered ordinary and routine litigation incidental to the business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. While we believe the ultimate disposition of litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, the possibility exists that such litigation may have an impact on our results for a particular reporting period in which litigation effects become probable and reasonably estimable. Though we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change related to these matters, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and our view of these matters may change in the future.

Note 12. Revenue

All operating revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Our primary revenue source is generated through the sale of manufactured towable RV units, motorhome RV units and marine units to our independent dealer network (our customers). The following table disaggregates revenue by reportable segment and product category:

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation

On December 14, 2023, our shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Restated Plan”) as detailed in our Proxy Statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Restated Plan continues to allow us to grant or issue non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, share awards, and other equity compensation to key employees and to non-employee directors. The number of shares of our Common Stock that may be awarded and issued under the Restated Plan is 2.4 million, plus the shares still available under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2019 Plan”) and the shares subject to any awards outstanding under the 2014 Omnibus Equity, Performance Award, and Incentive Compensation Plan (“2014 Plan”). Awards under the 2014 Plan that are outstanding on December 14, 2023 will continue to be subject to the terms of the 2014 Plan, as applicable. Shares remaining available for future awards under the 2014 Plan were not carried over into the Restated Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense was $3.5 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023, respectively; and $8.1 million and $6.5 million for the six months ended February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service or performance period of the award, unless accelerated by certain retirement eligibility provisions.

Note 14. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was (126.1)% and 24.3% for the three months ended February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023, respectively, and 54.4% and 24.4% for the six months ended February 24, 2024 and February 25, 2023, respectively. The tax rate difference for the three months ended February 24, 2024 compared to the three months ended February 25, 2023 was driven primarily by the non-deductible loss on note repurchase, partially offset by an increase in tax credits year-over-year. The increase in tax rate for the six months ended February 24, 2024 compared to the six months ended February 25, 2023 was driven primarily by the impact of the non-deductible loss on note repurchase and a net favorable benefit in the prior year related to stock compensation, partially offset by an increase in tax credits year-over-year over decreased income in the current year.

As of February 24, 2024, $7.9 million of U.S. federal income taxes receivable was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Comparatively, as of August 26, 2023, $10.7 million of U.S. federal income taxes receivable was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We file a U.S. Federal tax return, as well as returns in various international and state jurisdictions. As of February 24, 2024, our U.S. Federal returns from Fiscal 2020 to present are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. With limited exceptions, U.S. state returns from Fiscal 2020 to present continue to be subject to review by state taxing jurisdictions. We are currently under review by certain U.S. state tax authorities for Fiscal 2020 through Fiscal 2021. We believe we have adequately reserved for our exposure to potential additional payments for uncertain tax positions in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 15. Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:

(1) Earnings per share amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers and therefore may not recalculate using the rounded numbers provided.

The dilutive effect of stock compensation awards, if any, was determined using the treasury stock method while the dilutive impact of the 2025 Convertible Notes and the 2030 Convertible Notes was determined using the if-converted method. Under the treasury stock method, shares associated with certain anti-dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation because the exercise of those options would lead to a net reduction in common shares outstanding or anti-dilution. As the 2025 Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election, the 2025 Convertible Notes are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, and the resulting shares are included in the denominator of the calculation. In addition, interest charges, net of any income tax effects are added back to the numerator of the calculation. For the 2030 Convertible Notes, we are required to settle the principal amount in cash and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election. As such, the 2030 Convertible Notes only have an impact on diluted earnings per share when the average share price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price.
