"Our fiscal 2026 proved to be more challenging than we anticipated at the outset of the year due to the headwinds impacting the RV industry. The retail market never reached the inflection point many in the industry expected, as stubborn interest rates, elevated fuel costs and ever-present inflationary pressures have strained household budgets and kept retail soft throughout the critical selling season," stated Bob Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Against this backdrop, our teams executed by delivering net sales of
"Our earnings performance did not keep pace with our top-line performance. As the fiscal year progressed, heightened affordability concerns and increasing material costs resulted in significant pressure on our gross margins. We responded with restructuring actions and began evolving our North American RV operating model. We directed those initiatives towards protecting attainable price points for consumers, accepting near-term margin pressure in exchange for long-term health of the business. The strength of our brands, the health of our balance sheet and our leadership across the RV market remain firmly intact and we are using this cycle to build a permanently stronger THOR," stated Martin.
"Our fiscal fourth quarter results reflected the macroeconomic pressures of our fiscal 2026 while also demonstrating the disciplined approach we have brought to our operations," added Todd Woelfer, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "We managed production closely against global independent dealer inventory levels, which have declined
"Regardless of where projected industry levels settle, we are not easing off the initiatives that improve our earnings power: expanding our enterprise purchasing programs, growing our owned-supplier business and optimizing our organizational structure. These are the levers that will make THOR structurally stronger through and beyond this downturn. Our initiatives are being executed now with strong momentum and, even assuming a flat retail market against fiscal 2026 volumes, THOR can materially improve its earnings profile," concluded Woelfer.
"The near-term industry backdrop has been difficult, but our capital deployment reflects continued confidence in our financial position," said Colleen Zuhl, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "With much of our business impacted by macroeconomic headwinds, we remain focused on what we can control. During fiscal 2026, we reduced debt by
"This year's pressure has been concentrated in gross margin, and the structural actions now underway are designed to lower our cost base durably — not temporarily — and to expand margins as volumes and mix recover. The restructuring costs we have incurred in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026 have put us on an advantageous path going forward. We have made difficult decisions in a down market, and will continue to do so as we assess additional opportunities to strengthen our earnings profile and streamline our business in fiscal 2027. Our balance sheet strength enabled us to execute these actions without compromising financial stability. That strength and our healthy leverage ratio leave us well positioned to operate in any environment and to act on opportunities as they arise, generating value for our independent dealers, RV customers and shareholders," concluded Zuhl.

- North American Towable net sales declined in our fiscal 2026 fourth quarter compared to the prior-year period due to a
19.7% decrease in unit shipments, with fifth wheel unit shipments down34.7% . Sales volumes remain challenged by the retail environment and cautious independent dealer ordering patterns that have led to a16.0% decline in independent dealer inventory levels of towable product as of July 31, 2026 compared to July 31, 2025. The gross profit margin percentage in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 declined by 280 basis points compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to lower sales volumes, an unfavorable product mix, increased promotional activity and an increased material cost percentage. Income before income taxes included gains on sales of fixed assets for the three months ended July 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025 of and$0.1 million , respectively, and for the twelve months ended July 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025 of$21.4 million and$36.9 million , respectively.$24.1 million

- Net sales for the North American Motorized segment decreased
10.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior-year period, influenced by higher promotional activity and a13.1% decrease in unit shipments that was partially offset by a2.7% increase in the overall net price per unit as mix within our Class C and Class B products improved. The gross profit margin percentage declined 600 basis points compared to the prior-year period due to the decline in net sales and the combined increases in the material, overhead and warranty cost percentages.

- European RV net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 increased
5.0% compared to the prior-year period, driven by the combined impact of a3.9% increase in unit shipments and a1.1% increase in the overall net price per unit, of which0.1% was due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Net sales benefited from a lower promotional environment compared to the prior-year period along with product mix continuing to shift towards higher-priced motorized products from lower-priced caravans. The gross profit margin percentage declined just 30 basis points compared to the prior-year period, reflecting the more favorable supplier dynamics in our European operations compared toNorth America . The slight margin decline was primarily due to a higher warranty cost percentage, partially offset by a lower overhead cost percentage. Income before income taxes included restructuring costs of and$11.1 million for the three and twelve months ended July 31, 2026, respectively.$25.2 million
Fiscal 2027 Guidance
"We are confident in our ability to operate successfully in the current market and expect a relatively flat retail environment in fiscal 2027 compared to fiscal 2026, with many of the same headwinds we experienced in fiscal 2026 facing us in the near term. We have two early and critical North American industry events during the second half of September: the
"The RV industry remains in an extended down cycle and we are not going to characterize it as anything other than what it is. Certainly, our earnings are currently below where we want them to be. The measure of the Company is not its earnings at a cyclical low, but how it responds during the cycle. We remain fully committed to both our independent dealer partners and retail customers. Their success and ours are inseparable and we are continuing to invest in those relationships rather than pulling back from them," added Woelfer.
Mr. Martin concluded, "Fiscal 2026 was a structurally important year for THOR. With numerous macro elements working against our industry, we took action to address our margin profile, our production footprint and the supply chain pressures weighing on the business. That work gives THOR a strong foundation to operate successfully in any industry backdrop. With this strong foundation, we can better address the affordability challenges that retail customers are facing and be the leader that our industry needs. The RV lifestyle provides the freedom and connection to nature that consumers desire; that demand has not gone away. Our responsibility is to deliver the value proposition that grows market share for our brands while reestablishing our earnings power. We believe in the initiatives we are executing and are confident in the upside to our financial performance when the RV market inevitably inflects."

(1) Includes the fair value adjustments of certain warrants and stock investments along with equity method investment income and losses |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP performance measures included to illustrate and improve comparability of the Company's results from period to period, particularly in periods with unusual or one-time items. EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax provision and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to EBITDA to identify items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods. The Company considers these non-GAAP measures in evaluating and managing the Company's operations and believes that discussion of results adjusted for these items is meaningful to investors because it provides a useful analysis of ongoing underlying operating trends. The adjusted measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
How did THOR’s segment performance differ in fiscal 2026 Q4?
The North American Towable segment’s Q4 net sales declined 22.7% to $687.3 million with unit shipments down 19.7% and gross margin falling to 10.5%. The North American Motorized segment saw Q4 net sales fall 10.4% to $499.3 million, unit shipments down 13.1%, gross margin drop to 5.3% and income before income taxes turn to a $5.2 million loss. The European segment increased Q4 net sales 5.0% to $969.2 million, with unit shipments up 3.9%, gross margin at 15.3% and income before income taxes up 5.9% to $55.0 million.
What changes occurred in THOR’s order backlog across segments?
As of July 31, 2026, North American Towable backlog was $916.6 million, up 74.6% from $525.0 million a year earlier. North American Motorized backlog was $728.2 million, down 27.5% from $1.00 billion. The European segment backlog was $1.65 billion, an 8.4% increase from $1.53 billion as of July 31, 2025.
What restructuring and strategic initiatives did THOR undertake?
THOR undertook restructuring actions, including in its European segment where income before income taxes included restructuring costs of $11.1 million in Q4 and $25.2 million for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026. The company is evolving its North American RV operating model, expanding enterprise purchasing programs, growing owned supplier businesses and optimizing its organizational structure. Management expects the cumulative impact of key strategic initiatives and restructuring activities to improve the earnings profile and drive more than $100 million of annual cost reductions once fully implemented.
Why has THOR not yet provided fiscal 2027 guidance?
THOR plans to wait for insights from two North American industry events in the second half of September, the Hershey, Pennsylvania show and the Elkhart, Indiana Open House, before issuing fiscal 2027 guidance. The company said these events provide critical input on retail and dealer conditions. It intends to provide full-year 2027 guidance and outline cost savings expectations later in the fall.
How did dealer inventory levels change by the end of fiscal 2026?
Global independent dealer inventory levels declined 11.5% as of July 31, 2026 compared to July 31, 2025. Within this, independent dealer inventory levels of North American Towable products declined 16.0% over the same period. Management characterizes dealer inventory entering fiscal 2027 as healthy.
