Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Winnebago Industries reported third quarter Fiscal 2026 results showing softer demand but stable margins. Net revenues were $698.7 million, down 9.9% from the prior-year quarter, while gross profit was $94.9 million with a 13.6% margin, roughly in line with last year.
Net income was $14.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, and adjusted earnings were $0.66 per diluted share, below the prior-year adjusted $0.81. Motorhome revenue grew 10.1% and returned to profitability, but Towable and Marine segments saw double-digit operating income declines.
For the full Fiscal 2026 year, the company now guides consolidated net revenues to $2.65–$2.75 billion, with reported EPS of $1.05–$1.40 and adjusted EPS of $1.65–$2.00, cutting both EPS ranges from prior expectations. Operating cash flow improved to $26.2 million for the first nine months, and the board approved a quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Fiscal 2026 earnings guidance reduced: reported EPS range cut from $1.50–$2.20 to $1.05–$1.40 and adjusted EPS from $2.10–$2.80 to $1.65–$2.00, signaling a weaker profit outlook.
Insights
Q3 revenue and EPS declined, and full-year guidance was cut.
Winnebago Industries delivered Q3 net revenues of $698.7M, down 9.9% year over year, with net income of $14.5M and diluted EPS of $0.51. Adjusted EPS fell to $0.66 from $0.81, and Adjusted EBITDA declined 18.7% to $37.8M.
The underlying picture is mixed. The Motorhome segment grew revenue 10.1% to $320.7M and swung from a loss to $9.6M of operating income. However, Towable and Marine net revenues dropped 26.1% and 8.3%, with operating income down 46.3% and 43.4%, reflecting weaker demand and unfavorable mix.
The most material development is the Fiscal 2026 guidance reset. Management now expects consolidated net revenues of $2.65–$2.75B, reported EPS of $1.05–$1.40 versus a prior $1.50–$2.20 range, and adjusted EPS of $1.65–$2.00 versus $2.10–$2.80. This implies a notably lower earnings outlook despite improved nine‑month net income of $24.8M. Subsequent company filings may show how execution in Motorhome and cost actions interact with a challenged RV and marine demand backdrop.

6 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $37.8 million, a decrease of 18.7%"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
LIFO expense financial
"Last in, first-out ("LIFO") expense | (2.4) | | | (0.6)"
Non-GAAP financial measures financial
"Exhibit 99.1 includes non-GAAP financial measures related to our operations."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Convertible Notes financial
"risks related to our 2030 Convertible Notes and Senior Secured Notes"
Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.
asset-backed revolving credit facility financial
"under the terms of our asset-backed revolving credit facility and outstanding notes."

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Summary
•Net revenues of $698.7 million compared to $775.1 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025

CEO Commentary
“Our teams continue to execute in a retail environment that remained challenging through the third quarter,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Happe. “Industry retail demand was pressured by broader macro factors, including elevated fuel costs, geopolitical uncertainty, and weak consumer confidence which continued to drive cautious dealer ordering and tighter inventory management across the channel. In response, we stayed disciplined, aligning production closely with retail while continuing to advance our key product, operational and cost initiatives.
“We're seeing a mixed demand environment across the portfolio. In Motorhome RV, sales, profitability and market presence continue to improve, supported by sustained performance at Grand Design Motorized and solid execution at Newmar. New product introductions, expanding brand presence and improved profitability continue to strengthen our standing in the segment. In Towable RV, category demand remained muted during the quarter, particularly at higher price points where competitive and promotional activity remained elevated. At the same time, our newer, more accessible offerings such as Thrive and Access contributed to improved retail dollar share and stronger year-over-year financial performance within our Winnebago-branded portfolio. These results reflect both dealer commitment to our strategy and the positive reception to our refreshed product lineup.
In Marine, Barletta continues to perform well, maintaining consistent market share gains, reaching 9.3% on a trailing twelve-month basis through April, despite softer volumes in the quarter. This performance reflects continued consumer interest in its premium pontoons and an expanding product lineup, including the recent Sanza introduction.

“We delivered solid SG&A improvement year-over-year, while continuing to invest in Grand Design Motorized, and advancing footprint rationalization and capacity alignment actions within our RV businesses. While industry retail pressure in the quarter slowed the pace of improvement in field inventory turns, our focus remains on driving sustainable progress, which will require continued discipline around shipments and production.
"One of the most encouraging aspects of our performance this quarter was the stability of our gross margins despite a challenging retail environment, reflecting the strength of our product mix, pricing discipline and operational execution. We have remained focused on profitable market share, while our higher average selling prices continue to support a more resilient retail dollar share position. We are executing against the levers we control including product, brand, cost structure, and inventory discipline, positioning the business to deliver improved performance as conditions evolve.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
Net revenues were $698.7 million, a decrease of 9.9% compared to $775.1 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, driven primarily by lower unit volume, partially offset by selective price adjustments and product mix. Unit volume trends reflected growth in the Motorhome RV segment, partially offset by declines in the Towable RV and Marine segments, as dealer ordering remained measured and production levels were closely aligned to retail demand.
Gross profit was $94.9 million, a decrease of 10.5% compared to $106.0 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025. Gross profit margin was consistent with prior year as higher input costs and deleverage were largely offset by selective price adjustments.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $66.5 million, a decrease of 5.4% compared to $70.3 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, primarily due to cost reduction initiatives.
Operating income was $23.0 million, a decrease of 23.9% compared to $30.2 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025.
Net income was $14.5 million, compared to $17.6 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025. Reported earnings per diluted share was $0.51, compared to $0.62 in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.66, a decrease of 18.5% compared to $0.81 in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $37.8 million, a decrease of 18.7%, compared to $46.5 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025.

Cash flow provided by operating activities during the nine months ended May 30, 2026 was $26.2 million compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $52.5 million during the same period last year. Operating cash flow improved by $78.7 million year over year, shifting from a use of cash in the prior-year period to a source of cash in the current year.

On May 15, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share payable on June 24, 2026, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on June 10, 2026.
Outlook
For calendar year 2026, Winnebago Industries now expects North American RV wholesale shipments in the range of 290,000 to 310,000 units. Based on this outlook, the current business environment, and results through the first nine months of the fiscal year, Winnebago Industries is updating its Fiscal 2026 revenue and EPS guidance as follows:
•Consolidated net revenues in the range of $2.65 billion to $2.75 billion;
•Reported earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.05 to $1.40 compared to the Company's prior expectations for reported earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.50 to $2.20; and
3
•Adjusted earnings per diluted share guidance in the range of $1.65 to $2.00(1) compared to a prior range of $2.10 to $2.80.
The Company’s outlook takes into account prevailing trends in the RV sector, including the impacts from current policy and trade environment, competitive dynamics, shifts in consumer preferences, and key macroeconomic factors that may influence overall demand.
“Our outlook reflects a measured view of the environment,” Happe said. “We expect demand conditions to remain challenged in the near term, with continued variability across segments. The actions we are taking across our portfolio, cost structure and product roadmap position us to manage through the cycle and improve the earnings profile of the business over time, including further operational and capacity initiatives expected to begin benefiting performance as we move through fiscal 2027.”

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 diluted earnings per share is defined as diluted earnings per share adjusted for after-tax items that impact the comparability of our results from period to period. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. 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. Management believes Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because these measures exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance.
13
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as assess performance relative to competitors and peers; (b) to measure operational profitability on a consistent basis; (c) in presentations to the members of our Board of Directors to enable our Board of Directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in its assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for the Company; (d) to evaluate potential acquisitions; and (e) to ensure compliance with restricted activities under the terms of our asset-backed revolving credit facility and outstanding notes. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
