NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(All U.S. Dollar and Euro amounts presented in thousands except share and per share data or except as otherwise specified)

  1. Nature of Operations and 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”). 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 July 31, 2023 amounts are derived from the annual audited financial statements of THOR. The interim financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023. Due to seasonality within the recreational vehicle industry, the impact of supply chain disruptions primarily in Europe, inflation and shifting consumer demand on our industry, among other factors, annualizing the results of operations for the six months ended January 31, 2024 would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

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. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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.

  1. Business Segments

The Company hasthree 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 operations of the Company's Airxcel and Postle subsidiaries are included in “Other”. Net sales included in Other relate primarily to the sale of specialized component parts and aluminum extrusions. Intercompany eliminations adjust for Airxcel and Postle sales to the Company’s North American Towable and North American Motorized segments, which are consummated at established transfer prices generally consistent with the selling prices of products to third parties.

  1. Equity Investments

As discussed in Note 8 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K, effective December 30, 2022, the Company formed a joint venture with TechNexus Holdings LLC (“TechNexus”), whereby the Company transferred TH2Connect, LLC d/b/a Roadpass Digital and its associated legal entities to TN-RP Holdings, LLC (“TN-RP”), following which the Company and TechNexus own 100% of the Class A-RP units and Class C-RP units, respectively, issued by TN-RP.

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 Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company had the following aggregate investment and maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs:

January 31, 2024July 31, 2023
Carrying amount of investments$128,572$126,909
Maximum exposure to loss$145,622$161,459

The Company’s share of gains and losses accounted for under the equity method of accounting are included in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The losses recognized in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 were $3,502 and $9,437, respectively, and the amounts recognized in the three and six months ended January 31, 2023 werenot material.

  1. Concentration of Risk

One dealer, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for 15% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended January 31, 2024 and 14% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, and accounted for 14% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for both the six-month periods ended January 31, 2024 and January 31, 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 17% of the Company’s consolidated trade accounts receivable at January 31, 2024 and 13% at July 31, 2023. The loss of this dealer could have a material effect on the Company’s business.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 are as follows:

Input LevelJanuary 31, 2024July 31, 2023
Cash equivalentsLevel 1$194,454$286,984
Deferred compensation plan mutual fund assetsLevel 1$42,042$40,220
Equity investmentsLevel 1$704$4,105
Foreign currency forward contract liabilityLevel 2$399$—
Interest rate swap liabilityLevel 2$1,110$932

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 Condensed 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, which are reported within Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 stock investments that are publicly traded in an active market and are reported within Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current available forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using observable market rates.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the applicable observable yield curves.

  1. Product Warranties

The Company generally provides retail customers of its products with aone-year ortwo-year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, with longer warranties on certain structural components.

As discussed in Note 13 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K, the Company is a party to a term loan (“term loan”) agreement, which consists of a U.S. dollar-denominated term loan tranche and a Euro-denominated term loan tranche, and a $1,000,000 revolving asset-based credit facility (“ABL”).

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 term loan tranche. Pursuant to the term loan amendments, the applicable margin used to determine the interest rate on U.S. dollar-denominated loans was reduced by 0.25% so that the applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate ("ABR")-based loans is 1.75% and 2.75% for Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based loans. The SOFR credit spread adjustment applicable to U.S. dollar-denominated SOFR-based loans was eliminated. The applicable margin for Euro-denominated EURIBOR-based loans was unchanged. 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. Following the amendments, the principal amounts outstanding under the term loan agreement were $450,000 on the U.S. dollar-denominated term loan tranche and 330,000 Euro on the Euro-denominated term loan tranche. Under the provisions of the amended term loan, both the U.S. and Euro tranches require annual principal payments of 1.0% of the new term loan balance, payable quarterly in 0.25% installments starting on May 1, 2024. 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 there wereno borrowings outstanding as of the November 15, 2023 amendment date. The applicable margin, covenants and other material provisions of the ABL remain materially unchanged.

The November 15, 2023 debt amendments noted above were evaluated on a creditor-by-creditor basis pursuant to the requirements in ASC 470-50 related to syndicated loan arrangements. Extinguishment accounting was applied to the creditors that were deemed to have a substantial difference in terms based on an analysis of the present values of cash flows before and after the amendments. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded expense of $14,741 in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. $7,566 of this $14,741 expense is classified as interest expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and primarily represents extinguishment charges, while the remaining $7,175 is classified as administrative expense and primarily represents third-party costs attributed to the modified loans. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 the Company capitalized qualifying financing-related costs of $10,480 related to these amendments which will be amortized over the remaining term of the amended agreements subject to acceleration for early term loan principal payments.

As of January 31, 2024, the outstanding U.S. term loan tranche balance of $450,000 was subject to a SOFR-based rate totaling 8.083%. As of July 31, 2023, the outstanding U.S. term loan tranche balance of $271,900 was subject to a SOFR-based rate totaling 8.433%. The interest rate on the January 31, 2024 outstanding Euro term loan tranche balance of $357,621 was 6.88%, and the interest rate on the July 31, 2023 outstanding Euro term loan tranche of $486,194 was 6.625%.

As of January 31, 2024, the weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding ABL borrowings of $59,604 was 5.108%. As of July 31, 2023, there wereno outstanding ABL borrowings. The Company may, generally at its option, pay any borrowings under the ABL, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without penalty or premium.

Availability under the ABL agreement is subject to a borrowing base based on a percentage of applicable eligible receivables and eligible inventory. The unused availability under the ABL is generally available to the Company for general operating purposes and, based on January 31, 2024 eligible receivables and inventory balances, net of amounts drawn, totaled approximately $938,000.

As discussed in Note 13 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K, on October 14, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 of 4.000% Senior Unsecured Notes (“Senior Unsecured Notes”) that will mature on October 15, 2029 unless redeemed or repurchased earlier. Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable in semi-annual installments on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

The unsecured notes of 25,000 Euro ($27,093) relate to long-term debt of our European segment. There are two series,20,000 Euro ($21,674) with an interest rate of 1.945% maturing in March 2025, and 5,000 Euro ($5,419) with an interest rate of 2.534% maturing in March 2028. Other debt relates primarily to real estate loans with varying maturity dates through September 2032 and interest rates ranging from 2.38% to 2.87%.

Total contractual gross debt maturities are as follows:

For the remainder of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024$7,532
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 202540,626
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 202611,201
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 202710,731
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 202816,215
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2029 and thereafter1,343,481
$1,429,786

For the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, interest expense on the term loan, ABL, Senior Unsecured Notes and other debt facilities was $30,548 and $53,747, respectively, which includes amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs and the debt extinguishment charges noted above totaling $8,992 and $11,864, respectively. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, interest expense on the term loan, ABL and other debt facilities was $26,926 and $49,940, respectively, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs of $2,862 and $5,697, respectively.

The fair value of the Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes at January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 was $444,950 and $430,650, respectively. The fair value of all other debt held by the Company approximates carrying value. The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt are primarily estimated using Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC 820, based on quoted prices in markets that are not active.

  1. Provision for Income Taxes

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2024 was 22.7%, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2024 was 24.0%. These rates were both favorably impacted by certain foreign tax rate differences which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax.

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2023 was 21.1%, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2023 was 23.0%. These rates were both favorably impacted by certain foreign rate differences and the mix of earnings between foreign and domestic operations which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax. The tax rate for this six-month period includes an unfavorable impact from the vesting of share-based compensation awards.

Within the next 12 months, the Company does not anticipate any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of January 31, 2024.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under exam by certain foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years ended 2016 through 2021. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its exposure to additional payments for uncertain tax positions in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

  1. Contingent Liabilities, Commitments and Legal Matters

The Company’s total commercial commitments under standby repurchase obligations on global dealer inventory financing were $3,949,915 and $3,893,048 as of January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively. The commitment term is generally up to 18 months.

The Company accounts for the guarantee under repurchase agreements of dealers’ financing by deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee at inception. This deferred amount is included in the repurchase and guarantee reserve balances of $15,621 and $12,114 as of January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled during the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 totaled $2,892 and $6,060, respectively, and losses during the three and six months ended January 31, 2023 werenot material. Based on current market conditions, the Company believes that any future losses under these agreements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is also involved in certain litigation arising out of its operations in the normal course of its business, most of which is based upon state “lemon laws,” warranty claims and vehicle accidents (for which the Company carries insurance above a specified self-insured retention or deductible amount). The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty. There is significant judgment required in assessing both the probability of an adverse outcome and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. Based on current conditions, management does not believe the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims against the Company will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. Litigation is, however, inherently uncertain and an adverse outcome from such litigation could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period.

A product recall was issued in late fiscal 2021 related to certain purchased parts utilized in certain of our products, and a reserve to cover anticipated costs was established at that time. Starting in fiscal 2022, the reserve has been adjusted quarterly based on developments involving the recall, including our expectations regarding the extent of vendor reimbursements and the estimated total cost of the recall. The Company has been, and will continue to be, reimbursed for a portion of the costs it will incur related to this recall. In addition, the Company accrued expenses during fiscal 2022 based on developments related to an ongoing investigation by certain German-based authorities regarding the adequacy of historical disclosures of vehicle weight in advertisements and other Company-provided literature in Germany. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, the Company recognized income of $4,200 and $14,200, respectively, as a component of selling, general and administrative expense from adjustments related to these matters. For the three months and six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company’s adjustments related to these two matters werenot material. Based on current available information, the Company does not believe there will be a material adverse impact to our future results of operations and cash flows due to these matters.

  1. Leases

The Company has operating leases principally for land, buildings and equipment, and has various finance leases for certain land and buildings expiring through 2035.

Certain of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the leases, and these options have been included in the relevant lease term to the extent that they are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The Company does not include significant restrictions or covenants in our lease agreements, and residual value guarantees are not generally included within our operating leases.
