Elkhart, Indiana, June 3, 2026 – THOR Industries, Inc. (NYSE: THO) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 third quarter ended April 30, 2026.
“At the end of our fiscal second quarter, we correctly identified the risk of geopolitical events having an adverse impact on the RV selling season. The consequences of this risk coming to fruition during our fiscal third quarter have exceeded the expectations of our industry due to the unforeseen duration of these macroeconomic influences and their impact on consumer sentiment and material costs. In particular, our North American Towable segment has confronted both suppressed volumes due to strained consumer sentiment and rising material costs brought on by tariff and inflationary pressures. Despite these challenges, we are focused on executing our strategy within any economic environment. Our fiscal third quarter results demonstrate the steadfastness of our teams as we navigate this challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Our North American Motorized and European segment results showed resilience and illustrate an enduring interest in the RV lifestyle, with fiscal 2026 third quarter Motorized net sales up
7.7% and European net sales up 3.6% on a constant currency basis compared to the prior-year period. We remain committed to diligently managing our business and better positioning it for the near-term RV landscape as we wait for resolutions to macroeconomic headwinds and an inflection in consumer confidence and the retail market. Our previously announced strategic realignment of our North American RV operations is well under way with management team assessments largely complete and initiatives ready to be implemented. Our operations in both North America and Europe continue to be streamlined while also delivering innovative and refreshed products. We have invested heavily in growing our owned supplier businesses to further diversify our revenue streams within the RV market and provide optionality as a trusted partner within the supplier landscape. Our future is bright, supported by the strong foundation we have built and the operational efficiencies we continue to pursue,” stated Bob Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of THOR Industries. “Our confidence in the appeal of the RV lifestyle remains high despite current macroeconomic impediments. We look forward to advancing the realignment of our North American RV operations and to start seeing key initiatives put in motion as well as their benefits starting to be realized. We are clear and confident in our strategy going forward, and are well-equipped to manage through any market landscape.”
Todd Woelfer, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, added, “Our fiscal third quarter results reflect both the resilience of our diversified business model and the persistent macroeconomic headwinds facing the RV consumer. With three quarters of fiscal 2026 now complete, we have meaningful visibility into the full-year trajectory of our financial performance. The strained retail environment is reflective of the low level of consumer confidence and has led to reduced retail expectations for the industry. Cost pressures have particularly weighed on our North American Towable results. Even against the backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty and a subdued retail environment, our conviction that the RV lifestyle continues to resonate with consumers was affirmed. Our North American Motorized segment delivered net sales growth compared to the prior-year period and expanded its retail market share to 47.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, while our European segment also grew net sales compared to the prior-year period and increased retail market share to 24.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, clear evidence that demand for our products remains durable in the categories where consumers see compelling value. In addition to the resilience of these segments, our owned supply companies continue to provide a lift to our consolidated financial results, with strong top- and bottom-line performances and content per unit growth across the RV industry for the nine months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the prior-year period. At the same time, we recognize that our North American Towable segment is facing continuing and amplified headwinds, and the strategic realignment we have set in motion is specifically designed to position that segment for stronger net sales and margin performance as retail conditions improve.”
“As we enter the final quarter of fiscal 2026 mindful of the heightened uncertainty affecting consumer confidence and dealer ordering patterns, we are focused on execution: progressing through the operational steps of our North American RV realignment, continuing to invest in product innovation across all of our brands and maintaining the disciplined capital allocation framework that has allowed us to return capital to shareholders while preserving balance sheet strength. We have built THOR to perform through cycles, and the work we are doing today is creating a stronger foundation for the long-term value we are committed to delivering to our shareholders,” stated Woelfer.
“Our disciplined capital allocation framework allowed us to maintain our balance sheet focus amidst an otherwise challenging operational environment. During the quarter, we returned capital to shareholders through $50.5 million in share repurchases and $27.1 million in dividend payments. We took advantage of suppressed market values due to macroeconomic conditions and strategically repurchased shares,” added Colleen Zuhl, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We remain focused on maintaining the Company’s resiliency within a difficult economic backdrop while still being poised for growth opportunities. THOR has demonstrated throughout its history an ability to manage through a diverse set of market conditions. Our strong liquidity position allows us to weather difficult environments while also being able to explore attractive ventures. Our focus going forward is to continue to manage working capital and to protect margins through efficiencies and production discipline, all while remaining committed to investing in our business. This commitment includes strategic initiatives that are forward-thinking and create long-term shareholder value. As we begin our fiscal 2026 fourth quarter, we are confident that our liquidity position affords us to not have to settle on an individual priority but instead pick and choose advantageous opportunities as they arise.”

THOR’s consolidated results were primarily driven by the results of its individual reportable segments as noted below.

•Net sales declined in our fiscal 2026 third quarter compared to the prior-year period due to a 25.0% decrease in unit shipments influenced by a challenging retail environment and cautious independent dealer ordering patterns. The gross profit margin percentage in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 declined by 470 basis points compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to lower sales, an increased material cost percentage and an unfavorable product mix. Income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026, includes gains on sales of fixed assets of $23.8 million and $36.8 million, respectively.

•Net sales for the North American Motorized segment increased 7.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior-year period, driven by a 9.1% increase in unit shipments and a 1.4% decrease in the overall net price per unit as our more moderately priced Class C products remain popular with consumers. The gross profit margin percentage declined 170 basis points compared to the prior-year period due to the increased volumes being more than offset by the combined increases in the material, warranty and overhead cost percentages.

•European RV net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 11.8% compared to the prior-year period, driven by the combined impact of a 4.2% increase in unit shipments and a 7.6% increase in the overall net price per unit, of which 8.2% was due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The gross profit margin percentage fell 180 basis points in our fiscal 2026 third quarter compared to the prior-year period due to a higher material cost percentage, a higher mix of lower-margin special-edition motorcaravan products and an increased warranty cost percentage. Income before income taxes includes restructuring costs of $3.4 million and $15.8 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026, respectively.
Fiscal 2026 Guidance
“Our results through the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 reflect the persistent macroeconomic pressures weighing on the broader RV market, including a challenged retail environment driven in large part by low consumer confidence, cautious independent dealer ordering patterns and ongoing tariff-related and inflationary cost dynamics that continue to negatively impact industry-wide performance. While these external conditions remain outside of our control, we are firmly focused on the conditions that are within our control — measured production management, the strategic realignment of our North American RV operations, continued operational improvements across our European segment and the disciplined capital allocation framework that has guided our decisions throughout the fiscal year. Given the prolonged geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions and the resulting pressure on consumer confidence and retail demand, we believe it is prudent to revise portions of our full-year guidance. Despite this revision, we remain confident in our ability to execute through the remainder of fiscal 2026 and position THOR to outperform when market conditions stabilize,” commented Woelfer.
For fiscal 2026, the Company’s full-year financial guidance includes:
•Consolidated net sales in the range of $9.0 billion to $9.5 billion (no revision)
•Declining gross margin at midpoint (previously stable)
•Diluted earnings per share in the range of $3.30 to $3.80 (previously $3.75 to $4.25)
•For the fiscal year 2026 period, an assumption of a mid-teens retail decline in North America with a low-single-digit market share decline in North American Towables and a low-single-digit market share gain in North American Motorized (previously low- to mid-single-digit retail decline in North America with stable market share)
•No meaningful financial impact for the balance of the fiscal year related to the strategic evolution of our North American RV operations (no revision)
•A total tax rate in the range of 26% to 28% including estimated discrete items (previously 24% to 26% excluding discrete items)
Mr. Martin concluded by saying, “While the current operating environment reflects heightened near-term headwinds for our industry, our conviction in the long-term trajectory of the RV market remains as strong as ever. Consumers continue to value the freedom, flexibility and connection to the outdoors that the RV lifestyle uniquely provides. The fundamental drivers of demand — favorable demographic trends, the enduring appeal of outdoor recreation and the millions of consumers introduced to the RV lifestyle over the past several years — remain firmly intact. As we enter the final quarter of fiscal 2026, we are focused on executing the strategic initiatives that will position THOR to lead the RV industry into its next phase of growth. We have built this Company to perform across cycles, and the operational discipline, brand strength and innovation pipeline we are advancing today give me tremendous confidence in our ability to deliver sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders, our independent dealer partners and the consumers we serve.”

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), income tax provision (benefit) 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.

Q&A
MARKET UPDATE & OUTLOOK
1.Can you comment on the market share movements from both the North American Towable and North American Motorized segments?
a.On a trailing-twelve-month basis for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, THOR's North American Towable market share was 36.7% and 36.9% respectively. THOR’s motorized market share has grown, rising to 47.4% from 46.9% on a trailing-twelve-month basis for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. While the Towable segment exhibits modest year-over-year softness, our Motorized segment continues to grow share and capitalize on the relative strength of certain motorized product types in the market, in particular Class C products.
As evident by our trailing-twelve-month North American market shares, a longer-term view presents a more stable position within the market. We view near-term market share declines as temporary due to the dynamics of our long-term strategic initiatives. As we have communicated in recent quarters, the process of resetting our market share position will take time as our two largest initiatives, related to Heartland and Keystone, are not quick fixes.
Heartland products that were realigned under Jayco for a comprehensive reset required a period of paused production which severely suppressed retail activity while the revamped Heartland lineup was developed and launched. Keystone’s broad refresh of its product portfolio has necessitated a period of time for independent dealers to work through prior-model-year inventory before the refreshed product could meaningfully influence retail share. Keystone’s current retail performance reflects this prior-model-year inventory transition, not the performance of the refreshed product in the market. We expect to begin seeing an increase in Keystone's market share following the close of our fiscal 2026 on July 31, 2026, as the refreshed lineup moves through the independent dealer base and reaches retail customers in volume.
Outside of these two intentional resets, the rest of THOR’s North American product portfolio remains healthy and, in several cases, has gained market share. Jayco Towable market share is up year-over-year on every comparison basis — trailing-twelve-months, trailing-three-months and month-to-date. On the Motorized side, Thor Motor Coach, Entegra and Tiffin are all showing year-over-year strength on a trailing-twelve-month basis, driving the consolidated THOR Motorized market share gain noted above. These market positions continue to bolster our confidence in the long-term market share of the consolidated THOR product portfolio.
2.Are North American independent dealer inventories and ordering cadences aligned with your outlook for the remainder of THOR’s fiscal 2026 and the start of fiscal 2027?
a.North American independent dealer inventories of THOR products were approximately 79,200 units as of April 30, 2026 compared to approximately 91,800 units at the end of the prior-year period. In particular, independent dealer inventories of THOR Towable products as of April 30, 2026 have declined 17.3% compared to the prior-year period due to the temporary impacts of our previously discussed Heartland and Keystone initiatives and the struggles of the broader industry for towable products.
Our initial guidance for fiscal 2026 assumed North American retail would experience a low- to mid-single digit decline during our current fiscal year compared to our prior fiscal year. While the independent dealer inventory decline aligns with our initial retail guidance directionally, the magnitude of the decline will likely exceed our initial outlook due to a muted selling season. Many dealers stocked their lots in anticipation of a stronger selling season than what has been realized, with the missed expectations largely due to low consumer confidence as a result of the macroeconomic headwinds being intensified by inflation and geopolitical events. Independent dealer sentiment indicates a desire to curtail inventory levels as the trajectory of selling season has become clearer. We ultimately view independent dealer inventory levels as healthy to low given the current industry landscape and believe that there are restocking opportunities upon a retail inflection.
While ordering cadences have evolved relative to our previous assumptions, we do not view these changes as materially impacting our outlook. Some independent dealers have signaled a desire to shift toward smaller but more frequent orders. While this may inhibit period-specific, top-line lifts, long-term volumes are expected to remain aligned with our expectations. We ultimately view this development as healthy for the industry and beneficial to both THOR and our independent dealer partners. Bulk orders provide a level of volume pricing benefits up front for independent dealers but lead to higher promotional needs on the back end if retail activity unexpectedly slows. Smaller, but more frequent ordering practices should reduce our up-front pricing concessions as well as the need to support retail pull-through on the back end with additional promotional support. Over the longer term, these developments provide an opportunity for bolstered profit margins for both THOR and our independent dealers.
3.Have there been any changes to the European retail environment in recent months? Are European dealer inventories aligned with current retail demand?
a.The European retail environment is still tracking relatively flat across the previous twelve months and compared to fiscal 2025. Consumer sentiment, influenced by geopolitical uncertainties, inflationary pressures and shocks to energy prices is continuing to delay an inflection in retail growth. In the near term, retail trends have shown some positive signs, but this is partially attributable to a pull-forward effect in which certain motorized products were registered on dealer lots ahead of expiring emissions regulations. According to the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”), total retail registrations in Europe for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 18.1% in comparison with the prior-year period. This change was driven by a 24.1% increase in registrations of motorcaravans and campervans and a 0.8% increase in registrations of caravans during the period. Consumer preferences continue to shift away from caravan products, and as such, motorized products are primarily where our European segment has experienced recent market share gains. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our European segment, led by motorcaravan retail share growth, has increased its overall market share 150 basis points to 24.4% compared to the prior-year period and has significantly narrowed the gap to the industry leader.
Although European retail has shown resilience, independent dealers remain cautious with ordering and inventory levels. European independent dealer inventory as of April 30, 2026 was 20,400 units, an 11.3% decline from the prior-year period. This would represent the lowest level of independent dealer inventory for our European segment since the third quarter of fiscal 2023. While this balance is comparatively low, it is trending toward typical pre-pandemic levels. Given continued macroeconomic challenges, we view European independent dealer inventories of motorcaravan and campervan products as appropriate while urban vehicle and caravan dealer inventories are slightly elevated but improving.
4.How is the current macroeconomic environment impacting RV consumers? What pressures are consumers facing and how are those pressures influencing their buying decisions?
a.The current state of the RV retail market has been broadly challenging for all industry participants and segments, with calendar year 2026 industry retail tracking near 300,000 units — well below pre-pandemic norms. A structurally bifurcated consumer landscape has further degraded the discretionary purchase confidence that our market depends upon, with the most price-sensitive towable segment absorbing the brunt of that pressure. As a direct consequence, dealers have understandably adopted a deliberately cautious posture towards inventory and ordering. Consumer confidence is a key driver for a healthy retail environment, but it has been depressed due to various macroeconomic pressures that are being accentuated and protracted by the war in Iran, significantly weighing on consumer confidence and impeding a pathway toward moderating inflation and subsequent interest rate cuts. Our commentary surrounding our fiscal year 2026 second quarter guidance decision correctly identified this risk, with the war in Iran straining consumers during the most important retail window of our fiscal year. The demographic and lifestyle drivers that pulled millions of new households into the RV lifestyle over the last decade remain intact, though buyers are currently more value-conscious. THOR has fought to defend affordability at the expense of segment margin in a given quarter, and this approach has been the right strategic posture to protect consumers’ ability to stay in the market. We are currently engaging further with the value chain to ensure all participants understand the responsibility of preserving a healthy RV consumer environment.
In North America, the cost of financing and the extended period of strong inflation have been important variables for consumer buying decisions. RV purchases, particularly mainstream towable products, are sensitive to the monthly payment amount, not just the retail price. The combination of elevated interest rates over an extended period and the impact on cost inputs caused by inflation have lifted monthly payments materially, pressuring a meaningful portion of entry-level and mid-tier buyers into either a smaller unit, a used unit, or out of the market altogether for the current cycle. Beyond RV affordability, higher prices on non-discretionary items have compressed household discretionary wallets. This compressed wallet can lengthen the purchasing decision cycle for large, discretionary items.
The European consumer is also facing macroeconomic pressures and strained consumer sentiment but has a healthier foundation regarding financing elements. European interest rates are lower than in North America and the European RV consumer carries a higher proportion of cash and equity in an RV purchase with less reliance on financing. This consumer also skews toward motorized products and a more affluent buyer who is less impacted by affordability concerns. The European consumer is not without pressures, however. The broader macro environment in key European markets remains soft, and consumer confidence in Germany has been challenged by industrial-sector weakness and political uncertainty. Geopolitical pressure tied to the ongoing war in Ukraine and now the war in Iran has weighed on sentiment and kept energy costs elevated.
While they both face macroeconomic pressures, the North American and European consumers are frequently not in the same cyclical phase. They face different financing-cost environments and, at times, different energy and geopolitical pressures. The value of THOR's combined global footprint is precisely that these two consumer bases do not move in lockstep. When one is in the trough of a cycle, the other is often not, and the diversification tempers the volatility of the consolidated result.
Going forward, we believe that progress toward geopolitical resolutions will provide relief to suppressed consumer confidence and create a healthier retail environment. We expect affordability pressures to eventually ease in North America as financing and inflationary costs normalize. The deliberate strategic actions we have taken — the broad RV Groups strategy including, enterprise-wide data and procurement initiatives, the Heartland reset under Jayco, the Keystone rebrand and product line refresh as well as our continued investment in affordability at retail — will compound favorably as the affordability pressures ease. In Europe, we expect continued selective strength with motorhome and campervan demand holding up and order intake reflecting a more resilient consumer than the headline macro picture would suggest. The long-term lifestyle and demographic drivers of RV demand remain firmly intact, and THOR is positioned to lead the industry through the remainder of the cycle and into the next expansion.
OPERATIONS UPDATE
1.Can you provide an update on your North American RV operating model and where things stand in that evolution?
a.Early in our fiscal 2026 third quarter, we announced a strategic evolution of our North American RV operating model establishing two operating RV Groups for the majority of our North American RV OEM operations. At that time, we identified four key areas that we believe will provide the largest structural benefits to our North American operations upon the full implementation of this new operating model:
•Strategic sourcing coordination and supplier alignment
•Operational standardization and process improvement
•Brand and portfolio alignment
•Enterprise-wide data, systems and digital integration
These key areas will provide THOR with benefits that we have not historically fully realized. A more centralized and coordinated sourcing approach will be used to drive efficiencies within our input costs to further address affordability for the consumer as well as strengthen our margin profile. We will also leverage enhanced coordination to drive process improvements that expand productivity and provide further cost savings through self-help initiatives. This coordination and cooperation will also allow for a reasonable and realistic assessment of product profiles to better position our leading brands for further market share expansion. All of this will be enhanced and aided by an enterprise-wide data strategy that will provide THOR with better decision making information, create a more streamlined experience for our independent dealer partners, and establish the foundation for further cost savings and efficiencies.
Initial efforts surrounding this strategic evolution have centered around structural and cultural alignment. Our RV Group management teams have spent an extensive amount of time in our fiscal 2026 third quarter evaluating their new operational structures and identifying next steps. This process has gone extremely well, and our teams have largely completed the assessment phase of this operational evolution. Regarding our enterprise-wide data initiatives, our teams are taking meaningful steps in centrally accessing and unifying data across the Company. We have seen promising results from the early identification of common quality improvement opportunities across the operating companies. Procurement improvements are also being targeted with uniform product numbers providing transparency and more timely identification of cost opportunities across our operating companies. Going forward into our fiscal 2026 fourth quarter, we expect actionable initiatives to begin advancing so that measurable savings and group benefits can be realized in the fiscal periods ahead.
STRATEGIC UPDATE
1.Recently there has been news of potential consolidation of key suppliers to the RV industry. While that merger appears to currently be off the table, what would be the challenges and opportunities if there were to be significant supplier consolidation within the RV industry?
a.We have seen a significant amount of independent dealer consolidation within the RV landscape in recent years that has required THOR to adapt our approach and evolve within this changing landscape. Similarly, if large-scale consolidation occurred on the supplier side, we would need to adapt and address the positives and negatives of this development as well.
Risk certainly exists when there is a reduction in choice within one’s supply chain. Pricing power has the potential to be amplified by key participants and there may be fewer alternatives and less optionality in times of shortages. Additionally, there is a heightened execution risk during a consolidation that could disrupt supply efficiencies and performance as systems and processes are aligned. Combined groups of capital could also lead to more aggressive acquisition strategies that reduce the pool of potential acquisition targets.
Opportunity exists though within this type of consolidated environment, and there are levers to mitigate some of the risks. A pillar of THOR’s evolving North American RV operating model is focused on using our consolidated size and strength to improve procurement processes and act as a more unified buyer. This provides an avenue for more strategic purchasing and the ability to exercise purchasing power. Opportunities would also potentially exist to reset certain relationships as well as achieve efficiencies through the simplification of the purchasing process. These purchasing efficiencies and the leveraging of our size within the purchasing process will ultimately benefit the consumer and allow us to further address affordability challenges in the retail market as our cost structure improves.
In addition to opportunities for THOR in its relationship and interactions with suppliers, consolidation within the supplier environment would increase the demand for additional suppliers to position themselves more prominently and provide balance. A consolidated landscape would provide us the opportunity to continue building our owned supply companies into full-service, trusted partners through strategic acquisitions and product offering expansion. The desire of the RV industry to establish an additional, trusted supply alternative is evident in our supply companies’ financial performances with year-over-year net sales continuing to grow from both a quarter-to-date and year-to-date perspective and strong content per unit (“CPU”) growth achieved with both THOR RV operating companies and other third-party RV manufacturers. The recent hiring of Andy Murray underscores THOR’s focus on positioning our owned suppliers as key partners for the industry as we continue to evaluate the considerable white space for expansion of our supply company product portfolio. In an industry where supply chain concentration is a risk, establishing our owned suppliers as powerful alternatives is an investment we intend to continue to deliver on.
2.The tariff environment continues to evolve as certain tariffs are struck down while new tariffs are added. How are you responding to these changes and mitigating THOR’s exposure? Have there been any changes to the financial impact on THOR compared to the initial tariff environment?
a.The tariff environment remains challenging in regard to input cost management and adequate transparency surrounding current and projected tariffs relevant to our supply chain. The initial International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariffs were struck down this spring only to be replaced by new forms of tariffs in various iterations. These in turn have been challenged and have left the tariff environment murky. The majority of our business entities are not importing products or components directly, but rather sourcing through third-party vendors. This can make it difficult to discern the magnitude or the timing of the impact of tariffs through vendor pricing actions.
We do not expect these tariff amendments to have a material impact on our input costs relative to the initial tariff environment, with the net-net impact approximately neutral compared to what we have experienced so far during our fiscal 2026. Our mitigation response remains focused on strategic geographic sourcing, when possible, continued investment in product expansion at our owned supply companies and cooperation across the value chain. We expect our suppliers and independent dealer partners to adequately share in the effects of tariffs so as to protect retail pull-through by consumers and alleviate affordability concerns as much as possible. Our belief is that there is room for improvement regarding this shared responsibility and we intend to advocate for this improvement within the value chain. Additionally, we expect a reasonable flow through regarding any IEEPA refunds that are issued.
FINANCIAL UPDATE
1.THOR’s North American Towable segment experienced a difficult quarter regarding top- and bottom-line performance. Can you explain the overarching pressures on this segment?
a.Our North American Towable financial performance for our third quarter was below our expectations, with several identifiable factors disproportionately impacting the segment. Net sales for the fiscal 2026 third quarter were down 24.6% compared to the prior-year period. Fifth wheel products within the segment were especially strained, with sales down 30.2% compared to the prior-year period after being relatively flat year-over-year in our fiscal 2026 second quarter. With wholesale sales generally following retail sales on a one-to-one basis, net sales for the quarter were clearly hampered by the struggling retail environment. In addition to historically low levels of consumer sentiment, we believe retail pull-through was further constrained due to interest rates remaining elevated and material cost pressures passed on by the supply chain despite the best efforts of OEMs and independent dealers to share in the burden and address the affordability challenge.
The gross profit margin percentage in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 declined 470 basis points compared to the prior-year period due to lower sales, higher material costs and an unfavorable product mix as fifth wheel unit sales declined 31.4% compared to the three months ended April 30, 2025. The challenges of the Towable segment were influenced in large part by shifts in macroeconomic pressures producing a meaningful spike in input costs that flowed directly into our bill of materials. We feel it is in the best interest of the entire value chain to equally share in these material cost burdens to keep retail pull-through healthy given the preexisting presence of affordability challenges. When a unified approach was unable to be achieved, the affordability challenges that have weighed on our industry throughout the downturn were further compounded at the input layer.
Faced with this input-cost dynamic, we made a deliberate choice in our North American Towable segment to fight for affordability at the retail price point rather than pass the full cost burden through to the independent dealer and consumer. We believe this was the right decision for the long-term health of our brands, our independent dealer partners and consumers’ ability to enter and stay in the RV lifestyle. This mindful decision did, however, come at a cost, with our North American Towable margins negatively impacted accordingly. Despite this realized cost, we would make this choice again under the same conditions. Defending affordability in a stressed consumer environment protects retail velocity, the independent dealer channel and long-term market share. We have consistently said we manage this business for the long term.
With the additional pressures that were placed on North American consumers, the spring retail market underperformed with the retail softness flowing through our fiscal 2026 third quarter in a way that disproportionately affected the Towable segment, which is the most consumer-discretionary and affordability-sensitive portion of our portfolio. Our decision not to raise guidance after our fiscal 2026 first and second quarters reflected exactly this risk.
None of these dynamics that impacted the performance of our Towable segment reflect a structural weakness in the segment or in our brand positions. As discussed elsewhere in this document, our underlying portfolio actions — the Heartland reset under Jayco and the Keystone rebrand — continue to track, and we expect the benefits to compound as we enter and progress through our fiscal 2027. As we move ahead, THOR expects that enterprise procurement initiatives will result in better alignment and favorable impacts on our input costs. This will strengthen our margin profile and allow us to further address segment profitability. We will continue to manage our Towable segment for long-term share growth, sustained independent dealer health and improved consumer affordability, all while being transparent with investors about the trade-offs that this posture sometimes requires in a given quarter.
2.Despite relative softness in the overall market, THOR’s North American Motorized segment produced further quarterly revenue growth on a year-over-year basis. What are the dynamics influencing the segment’s performance?
a.Net sales for our North American Motorized segment for our fiscal 2026 third quarter increased 7.7% compared to the prior-year period, continuing the year-over-year growth trends seen in our fiscal 2026 first and second quarters. The net sales increase was driven by a 9.1% increase in unit shipments led by our Class C product line which achieved year-over-year unit shipment growth of 19.4% for the quarter. The increase in shipment volume for the Motorized segment was partially offset by a 1.4% decrease in the overall net price per unit, primarily due to a shift toward more moderately-priced units within our Class B product lines.
Despite the relative strength of the top-line performance, the North American Motorized segment gross profit margin percentage decreased to 8.8% in our fiscal 2026 third quarter, down 170 basis points from the prior-year period. The decline in the gross profit percentage was largely due to moderate increases in the material and warranty cost percentages. We believe that our Class C offerings will continue to provide strong top-line performance for the segment driven by data-driven price points and growing market share. Our Class C product line expanded market share 390 basis points in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior-year period as these products continue to resonate with customers and are attuned to desirable price points in response to affordability concerns within the industry. We believe the bifurcation of the economy has also helped insulate the Motorized segment from some of the macroeconomic pressures experienced by the Towable segment. We intend to address current cost pressures — increasing material costs and elevated warranty expenses — through focused initiatives within our enterprise-wide data strategy that will help bolster and expand our margin profile so that our bottom line benefits further from the relative volume strength seen within the segment.
3.THOR’s fiscal 2026 third quarter European segment results continue to show relative top-line resilience while profitability remains stressed. Are the dynamics that have been influencing the financial performance of this segment evolving or subsiding in any fashion?
a.Although European net sales for our fiscal 2026 third quarter are up 3.6% on a constant currency basis compared to the prior-year period, the gross profit margin percentage declined 180 basis points for the same comparative period. The dynamics influencing the European segment have persisted for much of our fiscal year. The market environment has been extremely price-aggressive due to competitor dynamics and an uncertain macroeconomic environment. Additionally, the bifurcated economic landscape experienced in North America is similarly present in Europe. While all product segments are contending with the price-aggressive landscape, our mainstream products have experienced increased pressure while entry and premium products show resilience. The pressure on our mainstream offerings, a product category that our European segment has historically excelled with, has led to compressed margins and a need for promotional activity as well as lower-margin special edition units that are now offered across multiple brands rather than just those that are refreshing their model lineup. The European segment has also experienced elevated warranty costs in recent periods, as well as rising material costs due to inflationary pressures that are offsetting cost reduction initiatives.
In an effort to combat these margin pressures, our European segment has undertaken various strategic initiatives to seek labor and production efficiencies so as to improve its structural margin profile. These initiatives have resulted in $3.4 million and $15.8 million of restructuring costs, primarily severance-related costs, for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026, respectively. An example of these initiatives centers around targeted production and labor efficiency improvements following the restructuring of our Elddis product that has historically been produced in the United Kingdom. We have taken advantage of the operational efficiencies and flexibility of our production facilities and moved the production of the Elddis products to sites in Poland and southwest Germany. We believe there are additional opportunities to take advantage of production and labor efficiencies within our European footprint, and our European leadership team is focused on maximizing our cost structure to enhance our European segment performance and expand our retail market share as we enter fiscal 2027 and beyond.
4.THOR’s full year fiscal 2026 guidance was revised downwards for various items, in particular in regard to retail market trends and THOR’s diluted earnings per share. What led to this decision, and what risks do you see in your fiscal fourth quarter?
a.As we approached the release of our fiscal 2026 second quarter results, we believed there was risk associated with persistent macroeconomic headwinds that would be accentuated by the emerging geopolitical tensions. The timing of this risk was suboptimal as the RV industry entered its ever-important spring selling season. We felt it was prudent at that time to maintain guidance due to this developing risk despite the Company accumulating a meaningful level of profitability through the first six months of our fiscal 2026.
While we were correct to treat the risk with a high level of consideration, we did not anticipate the magnitude of the consequences that were brought on by geopolitical influences that weighed further on existing consumer sentiment and amplified macroeconomic challenges. Arguably, very few voices across the RV industry and the broader economic landscape anticipated the full scope of the consequences, or their duration. These macroeconomic headwinds have weighed heavily on consumer sentiment due to negative headlines, economic uncertainty, rising fuel costs and inflationary cost pressures that were already present due to tariff policies. Individually, these factors do not always dictate the direction of the RV industry. However, collectively, the drag on consumer sentiment by these factors has had a significant impact on the retail environment.
The macroeconomic pressures also impact affordability. Inflationary pressures restrict the Federal Reserve’s ability to reduce interest rates, a key factor that influences financing costs for RV customers. Material costs have also risen, which can impact pricing at the retail level as well as the profitability of our operating segments. In an environment where affordability concerns are already a key impediment to a significant retail inflection, rising material costs must be shared across the value chain if our industry expects to sustain a healthy level of retail pull-through. This environment has been challenging for our operating segments, leading to pressured profitability metrics and a need to reevaluate supply chain dynamics.
In evaluating our fiscal 2026 year-to-date results and looking forward to our fiscal 2026 fourth quarter, we believe that heightened risk remains regarding the health of the consumer, the RV retail environment and near-term margin performance. While we are steadfast in our belief in the long-term growth of the RV industry and in our ability to strengthen our margin profile, we believe it is prudent to revise our full-year fiscal 2026 guidance to align with the realities of the prolonged and accentuated macroeconomic headwinds.
For fiscal 2026, the Company’s revised full-year financial guidance includes:
•Consolidated net sales in the range of $9.0 billion to $9.5 billion (no revision)
•Declining gross margin at midpoint (previously stable)
•Diluted earnings per share in the range of $3.30 to $3.80 (previously $3.75 to $4.25)
•For the fiscal year 2026 period, an assumption of a mid-teens retail decline in North America with a low-single-digit market share decline in North American Towables and a low-single-digit market share gain in North American Motorized (previously low- to mid-single-digit retail decline in North America with stable market share)
•No meaningful financial impact for the balance of the fiscal year related to the strategic evolution of our North American RV operations (no revision)
•A total tax rate in the range of 26% to 28% including estimated discrete items (previously 24% to 26% excluding discrete items)

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), income tax provision (benefit) 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.
