(NYSE: WGO), a leading outdoor lifestyle product manufacturer, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2025 third quarter ended May 31, 2025. Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Summary CEO Commentary “Our fiscal third-quarter results reflect both the diverse dynamics of our business segments and the challenges posed by an uncertain economic environment,” said Michael Happe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Winnebago Industries. "While retail demand across the outdoor recreation sector remains soft, our dealer partners are navigating the market with prudence and agility. At Winnebago Industries, we continue to pursue discipline in every aspect of our operations. We are focused on protecting long-term profitability and sustaining strong customer relationships while aligning production closely with healthy field inventory turn targets. Most importantly, I want to thank our entire team for their dedication. Their commitment and resilience continue to power our progress and position us for future growth.” “Winnebago Industries' 67-year history of innovation is reflected in the exciting new products and model year updates launching across our portfolio,” Happe continued. “In our Towable RV segment, we are leaning into the growing consumer emphasis on affordability by introducing a range of competitively priced products that are meeting the needs of today’s buyers. New travel trailer offerings such as the Grand Design Transcend Series and the Winnebago Thrive are designed to deliver exceptional value and quality, ensuring that more families can experience the RV lifestyle without compromising on comfort or reliability. In our Motorhome RV segment, Grand Design RV’s entrance into the motorized market with the expanding Lineage Series and new product entries from Newmar are gaining share momentum. In our Marine segment, our Chris-Craft and Barletta brands also continue to grow market share, helping to drive a double-digit increase in profitability." Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results Net revenues were $775.1 million, a decrease of 1.4% compared to $786.0 million in the third quarter of last year, driven by a reduction in average selling price per unit related to product mix, partially offset by targeted price increases. Volume growth in the Towable RV and Marine segments was partially offset by volume reductions in the Motorhome RV segment, as dealers continue their efforts to right-size field inventories in this segment. Gross profit was $106.0 million, a decrease of 10.3% compared to $118.2 million in the third quarter of last year. Gross profit margin decreased 130 basis points in the quarter to 13.7%, primarily as a result of higher warranty experience and product mix, partially offset by operational efficiencies compared to prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $70.3 million, an increase of 1.9% compared to $69.1 million in the third quarter of last year, primarily due to investment to support the growth of the new Grand Design motorhome business. Operating income was $30.2 million, a decrease of 30.7% compared to $43.5 million in the third quarter of last year. Net income was $17.6 million, compared to net income of $29.0 million in the third quarter of last year. Reported earnings per diluted share was $0.62, compared to reported earnings per diluted share of $0.96 in the third quarter of last year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.81, a decrease of 26.4% compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.10 in the third quarter of last year. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $46.5 million, a decrease of 19.8%, compared to $58.0 million in the third quarter of last year. Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Segments Summary Towable RV Motorhome RV Marine Balance Sheet and Cash Flow As of May 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.5 million. The Company had total outstanding debt of $539.9 million ($550.0 million of debt, net of debt issuance costs of $10.1 million) and working capital of $444.2 million. Cash flow used in operations was $25.3 million in the fiscal 2025 third quarter.

Outlook Based on its results through the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, current business conditions and its outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company is updating its fiscal 2025 guidance as follows: “Although the macroeconomic backdrop presents near-term challenges, we remain confident in the resilience of our brands and the long-term potential of our end markets,” Happe said. “With a new leadership team in place, Winnebago motorhomes is launching a comprehensive margin recapture plan centered on refreshing the product line, boosting operational efficiency and rebuilding sustained profitability beginning in fiscal 2026. The growing appeal of the outdoor lifestyle—especially among younger and more diverse consumers—continues to drive strong interest in RVing and boating. This trend supports our view for meaningful growth across our portfolio as market conditions normalize.” Q3 FY 2025 Conference Call Winnebago Industries, Inc. will discuss third quarter fiscal 2025 earnings results during a conference call scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Central Time today.

Non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have been provided as comparable measures to illustrate the effect of non-recurring transactions occurring during the reported periods and to improve comparability of our results from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and other pretax adjustments made in order to present comparable results from period to period.
