Current report
THOR’s European RV backlog as of January 31, 2026 increased $188,087, or 11.4%, to $1,832,102 compared to $1,644,015 as of January 31, 2025, primarily due to the increase in the foreign currency exchange rate between the two periods.
Current report
Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended January 31, 2026 increased $6,057, or 2.5%, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2025. Consolidated gross profit was 11.8% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 12.1% for the three months ended January 31, 2025. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the impact of the increase in consolidated net sales in the current-year quarter compared to the prior-year quarter while the decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily due to a higher concentration of motorized sales in the current year, which have a higher material percentage than towable product primarily due to the chassis content, and unfavorable changes in European product mix.
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2026 increased $5,799, or 2.8%, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to certain employee separation costs in the European Recreational Vehicle segment in the current-year quarter.
Current report
The increase in Other income, net of $18,357 for the three months ended January 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2025 is primarily due to both an increase of $9,162 on the gains on the sales of property, plant and equipment, primarily within the North American Towable segment, and includes the favorable change in consolidated foreign currency gains of $5,842 between the two periods.
Current report
Net expense included in Corporate interest and other income and expense decreased $7,234 for the three months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2025, which included a favorable change of $3,661 in the non-cash foreign currency adjustments related to certain Euro-denominated loans compared to the prior-year quarter. In addition, there was a decrease of $2,012 in net interest expense due to lower overall average outstanding debt balances and lower overall interest rates and the recorded operating results of our equity investments, as discussed in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, improved by $1,611.
Current report
Total manufacturing overhead decreased $5,512, primarily due to the decrease in net sales and employee cost savings from the towable organizational restructuring initiatives implemented since the prior-year quarter, but increased as a percentage of North American Towable net sales from 9.1% to 9.8% as the decreased net sales levels resulted in higher overhead costs per unit sold.
Current report
The decrease in North American Towable gross profit of $16,148 for the three months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2025 was driven by the decrease in North American Towable net sales, and the decrease in the gross profit percentage is due to the increase in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.
Current report
The decrease in North American Towable selling, general and administrative expenses of $9,254 for the three months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease of $4,670 in commissions and other employee compensation cost due to the decrease in North American Towable net sales and cost savings from the towable organizational restructuring initiatives noted above. Incentive compensation also decreased $3,598. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales-related travel, advertising and promotional costs of $1,126. The overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of North American Towable net sales decreased 0.2% due to the cost savings noted above.
Current report
North American Motorized cost of products sold increased $110,874 to $522,431, or 90.5% of North American Motorized net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2026 compared to $411,557, or 92.2% of North American Motorized net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2025. The changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $105,944 of the overall $110,874 increase primarily due to the increased net sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American Motorized net sales decreased to 83.8% for the three months ended January 31, 2026 compared to 84.6% for the three months ended January 31, 2025, with the decrease mainly due to a decrease in the direct labor cost percentage.
Current report
The constant-currency decrease in the overall net price per unit within the Motorcaravan product line of 1.2% was primarily due to a higher concentration of sales of lower-priced entry level and special-edition motorcaravan products in the current-year quarter. The constant-currency decrease in the overall net price per unit within the Campervan product line of 1.5% was primarily due to the current-year quarter including a lower concentration of Campervan units with a purchased chassis that is included in the unit sales price as opposed to units with a customer-supplied chassis that is not included in the unit sales price. The constant-currency decrease in the Caravan product line of 9.3% was primarily due to increased sales discounting.

Current report
CONSOLIDATED
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2026 increased $19,632, or 4.4%, compared to the six months ended January 31, 2025. This increase included the impact of the 8.5% increase in consolidated net sales and the increase in income before income taxes, which resulted in higher combined commissions and other incentive compensation costs and sales-related travel, advertising and promotional costs also increased in correlation with the sales increase.
Current report
The increase in Other income, net of $18,197 for the six months ended January 31, 2026 as compared to the six months ended January 31, 2025 includes an increase of $10,647 in gains on the dispositions of property, plant and equipment compared to the prior-year period, primarily within the North American Towable segment, the favorable change in consolidated foreign currency gains of $5,724 between the two periods, and the $3,356 favorable change in Corporate as discussed below relative to the fair value of the Company's deferred compensation plan assets due to market value fluctuations between the two periods. In addition, there was a favorable improvement in the operating results of our equity investments of $3,440. These favorable changes were partially offset by an impairment charge of $7,822 taken in the current-year period on certain North American Towable assets held for sale.
Current report
The increase of $56,236 in income before income taxes for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the impact of the increase in consolidated net sales and the increase in other income, net noted above.
Current report
The overall effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2026 was 29.3% compared with (43.7)% for the six months ended January 31, 2025. The year-over-year change is a result of the jurisdictional mix of earnings between foreign and domestic operations, inclusive of the non-deductible foreign exchange losses not subject to taxation in the six months ended January 31, 2025, which had a greater percentage impact on the effective income tax rate. The rate for the six months ending January 31, 2026 was negatively impacted by certain losses in foreign jurisdictions without an associated tax benefit and changes in statutory tax rates in certain foreign jurisdictions. This negative impact was partially offset by foreign exchange gains not subject to taxation in the six months ending January 31, 2026.

NORTH AMERICAN TOWABLE RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
Current report
The decrease in total North American Towable net sales of 6.9% compared to the prior-year period resulted from a 18.3% decrease in unit shipments and a 11.4% increase in the overall net price per unit due to the combined impact of changes in product mix and price. The decrease in unit shipments was primarily due to lower demand for the lower-cost travel trailer units relative to the prior-year period, as travel trailer unit shipments decreased 24.9% from the prior-year period. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the six months ended January 31, 2026, combined North American travel trailer and fifth wheel wholesale unit shipments decreased 5.1% compared to the same period last year. According to the most recently published statistics from Stat Surveys, for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our North American market share for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined was 38.0% and 37.7%, respectively. Comparisons of Company shipments to industry shipments on an interim basis would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year.
Current report
North American Towable cost of products sold decreased $109,879 to $1,413,082, or 87.9% of North American Towable net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to $1,522,961, or 88.2% of North American Towable net sales, for the six months ended January 31, 2025. Changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $99,816 of the $109,879 decrease in cost of products sold primarily due to the decrease in North American Towable net sales. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American Towable net sales were 79.2% for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to 79.5% for the six months ended January 31, 2025, with the slight decrease primarily due to a decrease in the warranty cost percentage being mostly offset by an increase in the material cost percentage.
Current report
Total manufacturing overhead decreased $10,063 in correlation with the decrease in net sales and employee cost savings from the towable organizational restructuring initiatives implemented since the prior-year period, but remained the same as a percentage of North American Towable net sales at 8.7% as the decreased net sales levels offset the decrease in overhead costs.
Current report
The decrease of $9,590 in North American Towable gross profit for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2025 was driven by the decrease in North American Towable net sales while the increase in the gross profit percentage is due to the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.
Current report
The decrease of $9,199 in North American Towable selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease of $7,880 in sales commissions and other employee compensation due to the decrease in North American Towable net sales and cost savings from the towable organizational restructuring initiatives. Incentive compensation also decreased $2,608. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales-related travel, advertising and promotional costs of $3,637.

Current report
The increase of $2,693 in North American Towable income before income taxes for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2025 was primarily due to the decrease in North American Towable gross profit being mostly offset by the reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses noted above, while other income increased $2,060. The North American Towable income before income taxes as a percentage of North American Towable net sales increased primarily due to the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage of net sales.
Current report
NORTH AMERICAN MOTORIZED RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
Current report
The increase in total North American Motorized net sales of 30.1% compared to the prior-year period resulted from a 30.4% increase in unit shipments and a 0.3% 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 an increase in current dealer and consumer demand in comparison with the demand in the prior-year period. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the six months ended January 31, 2026, combined North American motorhome wholesale unit shipments increased 10.2% compared to the same period last year. According to statistics published by Stat Surveys, for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our North American market share for motorhomes was 46.6% and 47.0%, respectively.

EUROPEAN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
Current report
The increase in total European Recreational Vehicle net sales of 10.1% compared to the prior-year period resulted from an increase of 0.6% in unit shipments and a 9.5% increase in the overall net price per unit due to the total combined impact of changes in foreign currency, product mix and price. The increase in European Recreational Vehicle net sales of $122,583 includes an increase of $106,921, or 8.8% of the 10.1% increase, due to the increase in foreign currency exchange rates since the prior-year period. According to the most recently published statistics from the European Caravan Federation, our combined European market share for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately 22.7% and 22.5%, respectively. Comparisons of Company shipments to industry shipments on an interim basis would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year.
Current report
The overall net price per unit increase of 9.5% included an 8.8% increase due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and a constant-currency increase of 0.7% due to the combined impact of product mix and selling prices, primarily due to the slightly higher concentration of Motorcaravan sales in the current-year period compared to the prior-year period.
Current report
Total manufacturing overhead increased by $13,888 primarily due to the increase in European Recreational Vehicle net sales but decreased as a percentage of European Recreational Vehicle net sales from 13.3% to 13.1% as the sales increase resulted in lower overhead costs per unit sold.
Current report
The decrease of $20,634 in European Recreational Vehicle gross profit for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2025 and the decrease in the gross profit percentage were both due to the increase in cost of sales noted above.

Previous wording
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.

Previous wording
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 ongoing tariff changes, 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 and the early part of calendar 2026 will continue to be negatively impacted by these factors.

Previous wording
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.

Previous wording
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 and effect of new or changing 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 on our fiscal 2026 first quarter results 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 potential additional tariff impacts on our remaining 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.

We are closely monitoring the imposition and effect of U.S. tariffs on imports, including the impact of the recently announced opinion by the U.S. Supreme Court addressing the legality of certain tariffs introduced in the last year, the potential for refunds of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act as a consequence of the Supreme Court decision, and the current administration’s announcement of its intention to impose new tariffs. We are also monitoring potential retaliatory tariffs or other measures certain other countries have already or may impose on U.S. imports into those countries, that may increase our material costs, disrupt our supply of materials or negatively impact our sales into other countries. The impact of increased or new tariffs on our fiscal 2026 first and second quarter results was relatively modest due to the timing of, and changes in, both the announced tariff rates and their effective dates and our engagement with our vendors regarding the extent and timing of any resultant cost increases. While we anticipate that tariffs will continue to affect our business and financial results, there is significant uncertainty as to the ultimate impact tariffs and tariff-related matters may have on our business and our remaining fiscal 2026 results given the rapidly changing environment surrounding tariffs in general, in addition to other related political topics. As an additional consideration, we are often not importing products or components directly, but rather through third-party vendors, meaning we do not have complete visibility regarding the timing or impact of tariffs on the pricing of those components. 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. We also intend to seek refunds for tariffs previously paid, however, the amount of any such refunds at this time has not been quantified, and the timing of the receipt of any such refunds is highly uncertain.
Previous wording
Historically, we have generally been able to offset net cost increases over time, but given the size and nature of the tariffs implemented in calendar 2025 or 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.
Current wording
Historically, we have generally been able to offset net cost increases over time, but given the size and nature of the tariffs implemented since early calendar 2025 and any future tariffs, it makes it more difficult and likely less 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.
Previous wording
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 or supply chain constraints 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.

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 experience stable market volume but ongoing pressure on overall sales prices due to the current economic environment. Our long-term outlook for future growth in European RV retail sales remains optimistic 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.

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.

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.
