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)
- 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 primarily 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, 2024 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, 2024. Due to seasonality within the recreational vehicle industry, inflation and shifting consumer demand in our industry, among other factors, annualizing the results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2024 would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Recent 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. Early adoption is permitted. 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,” which 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. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. This ASU will be effective for our fiscal year ending July 31, 2028. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 may have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
- 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.

- Equity Investments
As discussed in Note 8 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal 2024 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:
| October 31, 2024 | July 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying amount of investments | $137,769 | $137,272 |
| Maximum exposure to loss | $141,793 | $144,047 |
The Company’s share of gains and losses accounted for under the equity method of accounting are included in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The losses recognized in the three months ended October 31, 2024 were $2,254, and the losses recognized in the three months ended October 31, 2023 were $5,935.
- Concentration of Risk
One dealer, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for approximately 12% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended October 31, 2024 and approximately 14% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended October 31, 2023. The majority of the sales to this dealer are reported within the North American Towable and North American Motorized reportable segments. This dealer also accounted for approximately 15% and approximately 10% of the Company’s consolidated trade accounts receivable at October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively. The loss of this dealer or a deterioration in the liquidity or creditworthiness of this dealer could have a material effect on the Company’s business.
- Fair Value Measurements
The financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024 are as follows:
| Input Level | October 31, 2024 | July 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash equivalents | Level 1 | $246,886 | $310,210 |
| Deferred compensation plan mutual fund assets | Level 1 | $27,930 | $28,985 |
| Equity investments | Level 1 | $781 | $1,169 |
| Foreign currency forward contract asset | Level 2 | $95 | $— |
| Interest rate swap liabilities, net | Level 2 | $1,179 | $1,137 |
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. 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.
- 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.
Changes in our product warranty liability during the indicated periods are as follows:

| Foreign currency translation | 374 | (2,187) |
| Ending balance | $300,775 | $333,274 |
- Long-Term Debt
The components of long-term debt are as follows:
| October 31, 2024 | July 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Term loan | $536,003 | $594,361 |
| Senior unsecured notes | 500,000 | 500,000 |
| Unsecured notes | 27,205 | 27,070 |
| Other debt | 28,189 | 29,848 |
| Total long-term debt | 1,091,397 | 1,151,279 |
| Debt issuance costs, net of amortization | (15,401) | (17,364) |
| Total long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs | 1,075,996 | 1,133,915 |
| Less: Current portion of long-term debt | (32,206) | (32,650) |
| Total long-term debt, net, less current portion | $1,043,790 | $1,101,265 |
As discussed in Note 13 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K, the Company is a party to aseven-year term loan (“term loan”) agreement, which consists of both a U.S. dollar-denominated term loan tranche (“USD term loan”) and a Euro-denominated term loan tranche (“Euro term loan”) and afive-year $1,000,000 asset-based credit facility (“ABL”).
As of October 31, 2024, the outstanding USD term loan balance of $205,000 was subject to a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based rate totaling 6.935%. The total interest rate on the October 31, 2024 outstanding Euro term loan tranche balance of $331,003 was 5.896%. The Senior Unsecured Notes were issued on October 14, 2021 in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 and bear fixed interest at a rate of 4.000%.
As of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, there wereno outstanding ABL borrowings. Availability under the ABL agreement is subject to a borrowing base based on a percentage of applicable eligible receivables and eligible inventory, and based on October 31, 2024 eligible receivables and eligible inventory balances and net of amounts drawn, if any, totaled approximately $865,000.
For the three-month periods ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, interest expense on total long-term debt was $17,585 and $23,199, respectively. These interest expense amounts include the amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs of $2,166 and $2,872, for the three-month periods ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 respectively.
The fair value of the Company’s term loan debt at October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024 was $537,028 and $597,334, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes at October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024 was $454,300 and $450,450, respectively. The fair value of all other debt held by the Company approximates carrying value. The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt are primarily estimated using Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC 820, based on quoted prices in markets that are not active.
- Provision for Income Taxes
The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2024 was 24.5%. This rate was favorably impacted by certain foreign tax rate differences which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax. The favorable foreign rate differential was partially offset by additional tax expense related to the jurisdictional mix of earnings between foreign and domestic operations during the three months ended October 31, 2024. The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2023 was 24.2%, which was favorably impacted by certain foreign tax rate differences, which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax. The favorable foreign rate differential was partially offset by tax expense from the vesting of share-based compensation awards during the three months ended October 31, 2023.
Within the next 12 months, the Company does not anticipate any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2024.
- Contingent Liabilities, Commitments and Legal Matters
The Company’s total commercial commitments under standby repurchase obligations on dealer inventory financing were $3,422,718 and $3,642,137 as of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively. The commitment term is generally up toeighteen months.
The Company accounts for the guarantee under repurchase agreements of independent dealers’ financing by deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee at inception. This estimate is based on recent historical experience supplemented by the Company’s assessment of current economic and other conditions affecting its independent dealers. This deferred amount is included in the repurchase and guarantee reserve balances of $12,870 and $14,356 as of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively, which are included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled during the three months ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 were not material. Based on current market conditions and other conditions affecting its independent dealers, 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, and in management’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims against the Company will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. Litigation is, however, inherently uncertain and an adverse outcome from such litigation could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period.
As discussed in Note 15 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K, the Company is involved in a product recall and was part of an advertising-related investigation by certain German-based authorities that has been fully resolved. There were no significant developments related to these matters during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. There wasno impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 related to these matters, and in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recognized $10,000 of income within selling, general and administrative expenses due to reducing previously recorded reserves related to these matters.

- Weather Damage at Manufacturing Facilities
On March 14, 2024, a weather event that included large damaging hail occurred at and around the Company’s Jackson Center, OH facilities. The hail resulted in significant roof damage to the motorized production facility and significant damage to inventory that was stored outside, primarily motorized chassis, but also some work in process and finished goods inventory.
The Company maintains insurance coverage, subject to a $1,000 self-insured retention, for the repair or replacement of covered assets that suffer loss, as well as coverage for business interruption, including lost profits. Inventory is a covered asset under the insurance policy, as is the production facility itself.
As of October 31, 2024, the Company has a receivable in the amount of $40,270 related to estimated damages incurred for which we deem the recovery of such losses from our insurance carriers to be probable. Total estimated losses are $64,220 and are primarily attributed to the write-off of motorized chassis. The Company has received initial insurance proceeds related to this event totaling $22,950 through the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2024. This insurance recovery receivable is included in Accounts receivable, other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we believe recovery will be realized within one year of the balance sheet date.
Given the expectation of recovery from insurance, the impact on our consolidated income before income taxes during fiscal 2024 and the first quarter of fiscal 2025 related to the losses incurred on the weather damages noted above was not material. As of the date of this report, the Company is still in the process of fully assessing damages and submitting relevant insurance claim information.
Although our insurance covers business interruption, the Company did not recognize recovery for business interruption during the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2024 and will do so at the time of final settlement or when nonrefundable cash advances are made in subsequent periods.
