WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: Basis of Presentation
| In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of May 28, 2005, the consolidated results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004 and the consolidated cash flows for the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004. The statement of income for the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005, is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet data as of August 28, 2004 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto appearing in the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended August 28, 2004. Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company maintains cash and money market account balances to meet daily liquidity needs. |
| Short-Term Investments. As of February 26, 2005, the Company classified its auction rate securities, municipal auction rate notes and other investment-grade marketable debt securities to short-term investments. As a result, the Company reclassified $51.1 million from “cash and cash equivalents” to “short-term investments” as of August 28, 2004. The Company also made corresponding adjustments to its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to reflect the purchases and sales or maturities of these securities as investing cash flows. |
| Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Statements of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation in Fiscal 1997. The Company has elected to continue following the accounting guidance of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees for measurement and recognition of stock-based transactions with employees. No compensation cost has been recognized for options issued under the Company’s equity compensation plans because the exercise price of all options granted was not less than 100 percent of fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the stock options issued been determined based on the fair value at the grant date, consistent with provisions of SFAS No. 123, income and income per share for the 13 and 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004 would have been changed to the proforma amounts as follows: |

| The Company’s estimated fair value per option ($10.87 for Fiscal 2005 and $10.04 for Fiscal 2004) was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, modified for dividends and using the following assumptions: |
| 2005 | 2004 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Risk-free rate | 3.25 | % | 2.60 – 2.81 | % | |

| Expected option term | 3 years | 4 years | |||
NOTE 2: New Accounting Pronouncements
| In January 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 106-1, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (Act). The Act introduced a prescription drug benefit and federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans. The FSP permits a sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug benefit to make a one-time election to defer recognition of the effects of the Act in accounting for its retiree healthcare benefit plans until authoritative guidance on accounting for subsidies provided by the Act is issued. SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension,” requires enacted changes in relevant laws to be considered in current period measurements of postretirement benefit costs and accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. The Company provides prescription drug benefits to certain eligible retirees and elected the one-time deferral of accounting for the effects of the Act in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 until authoritative accounting guidance was provided. |
| In May 2004, the FASB issued FSP FAS 106-2 which provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the Act and supercedes FSP FAS 106-1. This FSP is effective for the first interim or annual accounting period beginning after June 15, 2004. In addition, this FSP requires employers to provide certain disclosures in their future financial statements regarding the effect of the Act and the related subsidy on postretirement health obligations and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The adoption of FSP FAS 106-2 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. (See Note 6 of Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.) |
| In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), which amends FASB Statement Nos. 123 and 95. SFAS 123R requires all companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value, and will be effective for public companies for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the accounting change will have on its financial position and results of operations. |
| In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs (“SFAS 151”), which amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criteria of “so abnormal.” SFAS 151 also requires the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 will be effective during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the accounting change will have on its financial position and results of operations. |
| In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB No. 153, Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. It eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. This Statement specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of this Statement shall be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 153 in Fiscal 2006 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. |
6
| In December 2004, the FASB staff issued FSP FASB 109-1 that provides guidance on the application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the provision within the American Jobs Creations Act of 2004 that provides a tax deduction on qualified production activities. This FSP is effective upon issuance. The adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position for Fiscal 2005. The Company expects this FSP to affect its financial position and results of operations by reducing its tax rate by one percentage point for Fiscal 2006. |
| In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It requires retrospective application to the prior periods’ financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the event the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. The provision of this Statement shall be effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. |
NOTE 3: Short-Term Investments – Available-For-Sale-Securities
| The Company’s short-term investments consist of auction rate preferred securities, municipal auction rate notes and other investment-grade marketable debt securities. The stated maturities of these investments may be over one year. However, these securities have certain economic characteristics of short-term investments due to a rate-setting mechanism and the ability to sell them through a Dutch auction process that occurs at pre-determined intervals of less than one year. The Company’s short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities due to management’s intent regarding these securities. The carrying value of these securities approximates fair market value due to their liquidity profile. As of May 28, 2005 and August 28, 2004, there were no unrealized gains or losses associated with these investments. The Company had approximately $104.0 million and $51.1 million in short-term investments as of May 28, 2005 and August 28, 2004, respectively. |
NOTE 4: Inventories
| Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and market defined as net realizable value. |
| Inventories consist of the following (dollars in thousands): |
| May 28, 2005 | August 28, 2004 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finished goods | $ | 68,547 | $ | 58,913 | ||||

| $ | 130,318 | $ | 130,733 | |||||
7
NOTE 5: Warranties
| Estimated warranty costs are provided at the time of sale of the warranted products. Estimates of future warranty costs are based on prior experience and known current events. The changes in the provision for warranty reserve for the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004 are as follows (dollars in thousands): |
| May 28, 2005 | May 29, 2004 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balance at beginning of fiscal year | $ | 13,356 | $ | 9,755 | ||||
| Provision | 10,179 | 12,234 | ||||||
| Claims paid | (10,849 | ) | (9,014 | ) | ||||
| Balance at end of period | $ | 12,686 | $ | 12,975 | ||||
NOTE 6: Employee Retirement Plans
| The Company provides certain health care and other benefits for retired employees who have fulfilled eligibility requirements at age 55 with 15 years of continuous service. Retirees are required to pay a monthly premium for medical coverage based on years of service at retirement and their age. Effective September 2004, the Company amended its postretirement health care benefit plan to establish a maximum monthly amount the Company will pay per retiree. The plan amendment will significantly reduce the cost of the plan and resulted in a $40.4 million reduction in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of September 2004 which was required to be deferred and is being amortized over the approximate remaining service period of active participants. Net postretirement benefit expense consisted of the following components (dollars in thousands): |
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended | |||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 28, 2005 | May 29, 2004 | May 28, 2005 | May 29, 2004 | |||||||||||
| Interest cost | $ | 453 | $ | 947 | $ | 1,358 | $ | 2,840 | ||||||
| Service cost | 227 | 634 | 682 | 1,902 | ||||||||||
| Net amortization and deferral | (745 | ) | 18 | (2,234 | ) | 53 | ||||||||
| Net periodic benefit (income) cost | $ | (65 | ) | $ | 1,599 | $ | (194 | ) | $ | 4,795 | ||||
For accounting purposes, the Company is recognizing income from the plan in Fiscal 2005 due to the amortization of the cost savings from the September 2004 amendment. However, the Company is still obligated to pay the cost of previously accrued and earned retiree benefits and paid approximately $456,000 and $509,000 of such benefits for the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004, respectively.
NOTE 7: Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Repurchase Commitments.
| It is customary practice for companies in the recreation vehicle industry to enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. |
| Most dealers are financed on a “floorplan” basis under which a bank or finance company lends the dealer all, or substantially all, of the purchase price, collateralized by a security interest in the merchandise purchased. These repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution, the Company will repurchase the financed merchandise. The agreements provide that the Company’s liability will not exceed 100 percent of the dealer invoice and provide for periodic liability reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. These repurchase obligations expire upon the earlier to occur of (i) the dealer’s sale |
8
| of the financed unit or (ii) one year from the date of the original invoice. The Company’s contingent obligations under these repurchase agreements are reduced by the proceeds received upon the resale of any repurchased unit. The Company’s contingent liability on these repurchase agreements was approximately $384.6 million and $353.6 million at May 28, 2005 and August 28, 2004, respectively. The Company’s actual losses under these repurchase agreements were approximately $33,000 and $-0- during the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004, respectively, and charged against the reserve the Company carries on its balance sheet. The reserve for repurchases at May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004 was approximately $282,000 and $306,000, respectively. |
| The Company also entered into a repurchase agreement on February 1, 2002 with a banking institution which calls for a liability reduction of 2% of the original invoice every month for 24 months, at which time the repurchase obligation terminates. The Company’s contingent liability under this agreement was approximately $-0- and $1,772,000 at May 28, 2005 and August 28, 2004, respectively. The Company did not incur any actual losses under this repurchase agreement during the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004. The initial agreement covered a two-year period with the option, subject to annual renewal, at the discretion of the parties thereto. The agreement was renewed as of February 1, 2004. However, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2005, the dealer involved transferred its financing to a different banking institution, thus eliminating the Company’s liability under this agreement. |

| During the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, the Company entered into a five-year services agreement (the “Agreement”) with one of its suppliers (the “Supplier”) and the Forest City Economic Development, Inc., an Iowa nonprofit corporation (the “FCED”), requiring the Supplier to provide RV paint services to the Company. Three of the Company’s officers have board seats on the 20 member FCED board. The FCED constructed and debt financed a paint facility on its land adjoining one of the Company’s manufacturing plants for the Supplier and the Supplier leases the land and facility from the FCED under a lease that expires in August 2012. In the event of termination of the Agreement by any of the parties involved before September 1, 2007, the rights and obligations of the Supplier under the lease would be transferred to the Company. As of May 28, 2005, the Supplier is current with its lease payment obligations to the FCED with approximately $3,533,000 (principal and interest) remaining to be paid through August 2012. Also, under the terms of the Agreement in the event of a default by the Supplier, the Company would be obligated to purchase from the Supplier approximately $750,000 of equipment installed in the paint facility at net book value and is obligated to assume payment obligations for approximately $45,000 in capital equipment leases. |
| Also in the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, the Company guaranteed $700,000 of the FCED $2,200,000 bank debt for the construction of the paint facility leased by the Supplier. The Company also pledged a $500,000 certificate of deposit to the bank to collateralize a portion of its $700,000 guarantee. |
| During the first quarter of Fiscal 2004, the debt obligations for the FCED’s paint facility were renegotiated from $2,200,000 to $2,925,000 and as part of this transaction, the Company executed a new guaranty whereby the amount of the guarantee was reduced from $700,000 to $500,000 with the Company continuing to agree to pledge a $500,000 certificate of deposit to the bank and the prior guarantee was released. The term of the guarantee coincides with the payment of the first $500,000 of lease obligations of the Supplier scheduled to be paid by February 2006. As a result of the new guarantee, the Company recorded a $500,000 liability in the first quarter of Fiscal 2004 which will be amortized as the FCED makes its monthly debt payments funded by monthly lease payments from the Supplier. The balance of the guarantee as of May 28, 2005 was approximately $155,000. |
| During the second quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company entered into a five-year limited guaranty agreement (“Guarantee Agreement”) with a leasing corporation (“Landlord”) and the Supplier. The Landlord constructed a paint facility for the Supplier through debt financing on land adjoining one of the Company’s manufacturing plants. The Landlord and the Supplier have signed a ten-year lease agreement which commenced on August 1, 2004. The Guarantee Agreement states that the Company |
9
| will guarantee the first 60 monthly lease payments (totaling approximately $1,559,000 of principal and interest). |
| In the event of a payment default before August 2009 and the Supplier’s failure to correct the default, the Landlord shall give the Company (Guarantor) written notice of its intent to terminate said lease. At the time of this notification, the Company will have various options that it must exercise in a timely manner. As of May 28, 2005, the Supplier is current with its lease payment obligations to the Landlord. The estimated fair value of the guarantee as of May 28, 2005 was approximately $260,000. |
Litigation.
| Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 28, 2004. |
| The Company is also involved in various other legal proceedings which are ordinary routine litigation incident to its business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to this litigation, management is of the opinion that, while the final resolution of any such litigation may have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results for a particular reporting period, the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have any material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. |

Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Winnebago Industries undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
It is suggested that this management’s discussion be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended August 28, 2004.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Winnebago Industries, Inc. headquartered in Forest City, Iowa, is the leading United States (U.S.) manufacturer of motor homes, self-contained recreation vehicles (RV) used primarily in leisure travel and outdoor recreation activities. Winnebago Industries was incorporated under the laws of the state of Iowa on February 12, 1958, and adopted its present name on February 28, 1961.
The Company’s products are subjected to what the Company believes is the most rigorous testing in the RV Industry. The Company markets its recreation vehicles on a wholesale basis to approximately 310 dealer locations as of May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004.
Motorized RV revenues represented 60 percent of the RV industry in calendar 2004. For this reason and because we believe there are further growth opportunities in this segment, Winnebago Industries has continued to focus on the motorized segment of the RV industry. Winnebago Industries has been able to maintain its market share even though there are recent indications that industry-wide motor home production has exceeded market demand, causing an industry-wide imbalance of motor home inventory. The Company will continue to monitor its inventories on hand to ensure that production is in line with market demand.
For the calendar years 2004 and 2003, the Company’s dealers retailed 11,622 and 10,786 Winnebago Industries’ motor homes, respectively. These retail sales accounted for approximately 19.0 percent of the total U.S. motor home retail registrations, according to Statistical Survey data for each of these calendar years.
While market share is important, the Company’s primary goal is to be the most profitable public company in the RV industry. The Company measures profitability by using five guidelines: Return on Average Total Assets (ROA), Return on Average Net Equity (ROE), Return on Average Invested Capital (ROIC), operating margin as a percent of sales and net profit margin as a percent of sales. (See page 3 of the Company’s 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders.)

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which in many cases require the Company to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements. Critical accounting estimates made in preparing these financial statements are described below.
Revenue. Generally, revenues for motor homes are recorded when all of the following conditions are met: an order for a product has been received from a dealer; written or verbal approval for payment has been received from the dealer’s floor plan financial institution; and the product is delivered to the dealer who placed the order. Sales are generally made to dealers who finance their purchases under floor plan financing arrangements with banks or finance companies.
Revenues for the Company’s original equipment manufacturing (OEM) components and recreation vehicle related parts are recorded as the products are shipped from the Company’s location. The title of ownership transfers on these products as they leave the Company’s location due to the freight terms of F.O.B. – Forest City, Iowa.
Repurchase Commitments. Companies in the recreation vehicle industry enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floor-plan financing to dealers. The agreements to which the Company is a party provide that, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution, the Company will repurchase the financed merchandise. The agreements also provide that the Company’s liability will not exceed 100 percent of the dealer invoice and provide for periodic liability reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. These repurchase obligations generally expire upon the earlier to occur of (i) the dealer’s sale of the financed unit or (ii) one year from the date of the original invoice. The Company’s ultimate exposure under these repurchase agreements is reduced by the proceeds received upon the resale of any repurchased unit. The gross repurchase obligation will vary depending on the season and the level of dealer inventories. Past losses under these agreements have not been significant and lender repurchase obligations have been funded out of working capital. (See Note 7 of the Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Warranty. The Company offers a variety of warranties on its products ranging from one to three years in length. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and included in cost of sales. Estimated costs are based upon past warranty claims and unit sales history and adjusted as required to reflect actual costs incurred, as information becomes available. A significant increase in dealership labor rates, the cost of parts or the frequency of claims could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period or periods in which such claims or additional costs materialize. (See Note 5 of the Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition to the costs associated with the contractual warranty coverage provided on our motor homes, we also incur costs as a result of additional service actions not covered by our warranties, including product recalls and customer satisfaction actions.
Other. The Company has reserves for other loss exposures, such as litigation, taxes, product liability, worker’s compensation, employee medical claims, inventory and accounts receivable. The Company also has loss exposure on loan guarantees. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires the use of estimates and judgment in regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability. The Company estimates losses under the programs using consistent and appropriate methods; however, changes in assumptions could materially affect the Company’s recorded liabilities for loss.

The following is an analysis of changes in key items included in the consolidated statements of income for the 13-week period ended May 28, 2005 compared to the 13-week period ended May 29, 2004.

Net revenues for the 13 weeks ended May 28, 2005 decreased 17.8 percent to $255.0 million compared to $310.2 million for the quarter ended May 29, 2004. Unit deliveries decreased 21.4 percent as follows:
| Thirteen Weeks Ended May 28, 2005 | Thirteen Weeks Ended May 29, 2004 | Decrease | % Change | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class A motor homes (gas) | 1,058 | 1,378 | (320 | ) | (23.2 | %) | ||||||||
| Class A motor homes (diesel) | 561 | 900 | (339 | ) | (37.7 | %) | ||||||||
| Class C motor homes | 1,088 | 1,166 | (78 | ) | (6.7 | %) | ||||||||
| Total deliveries | 2,707 | 3,444 | (737 | ) | (21.4 | %) | ||||||||
The reductions in revenues and unit deliveries were due to lower retail demand and an industry-wide oversupply of motor homes during the quarter ended May 28, 2005 when compared to the quarter ended May 29, 2004. Also contributing to the reduction in revenues was a higher level of discounts during the period ended May 28, 2005 when compared to May 29, 2004. The percentage decrease in unit sales was greater than the percentage decrease in revenues because of an increase in the average sale price per unit in the third quarter of Fiscal 2005.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was lower during the 13 weeks ended May 28, 2005 (13.8 percent) when compared to the comparable period ended May 29, 2004 (14.8 percent). When comparing the two quarters, lower production volume and lower production efficiencies offset partially by increased pricing impacted the gross profit percentage during the period ended May 28, 2005.
14
Selling expenses decreased 9.5 percent ($0.5 million) during the 13 weeks ended May 28, 2005, to $4.3 million compared to $4.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 29, 2004. However, selling expenses increased to 1.7 percent of net revenues during the period ended May 28, 2005 from 1.5 percent during the comparable period ended May 29, 2004. The decrease in dollars was due primarily to a reduction in sales employee incentive compensation costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased 65.6 percent during the 13 weeks ended May 28, 2005, to $4.5 million compared to $13.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 29, 2004; and to 1.8 percent of net revenues for the 13 weeks ended May 28, 2005 compared to 4.2 percent for the 13 weeks ended May 29, 2004. The decreases in dollars and percentage were due primarily to a $7.3 million charge the Company recorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2004 in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit. A reduction of approximately $1.3 million in management incentive compensation costs in the third quarter of Fiscal 2005 also contributed to the decreases.
Financial income increased 107.9 percent during the 13 weeks ended May 28, 2005 to $761,000 from $366,000 for the 13 weeks ended May 29, 2004. The increase in financial income during the third quarter of Fiscal 2005 was due to more cash being available for investing than during the third quarter of Fiscal 2004. Also, the average rate the Company earned on investments during the Fiscal 2005 period was significantly higher than the average rate earned during the Fiscal 2004 period.
The overall effective income tax rate decreased to 35.2 percent for the 13 weeks ended May 28, 2005 from 37.8 percent for the 13 weeks ended May 29, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in nondeductible losses in Winnebago Health Care Management Company.
Net income decreased by 0.7 percent and earnings per diluted share increased by 2.0 percent when comparing the 13 weeks ended May 28, 2005 to the 13 weeks ended May 29, 2004. The increase in earnings per diluted share was due to a lower number of outstanding shares of common stock during the 13 weeks ended May 28, 2005, as a result of common stock repurchased by the Company. (See Note 10 of the Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Net revenues for the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 decreased 8.5 percent to $760.5 million compared to $831.2 million for the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004. Unit deliveries consisted of the following:
| Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 28, 2005 | Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 29, 2004 | Decrease | % Change | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class A motor homes (gas) | 3,501 | 3,988 | (487 | ) | (12.2 | %) | ||||||||

| Total deliveries | 8,086 | 9,428 | (1,342 | ) | (14.2 | %) | ||||||||
The reductions in revenues and unit deliveries were due to lower retail demand and an industry-wide oversupply of motor homes during the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 when compared to the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004. Also contributing to the reduction in revenues was a higher level of discounts during the period ended May 28, 2005 when compared to May 29, 2004. The percentage decrease in unit sales was greater than the percentage decrease in revenues because of an increase in the average sale price per unit in the period ended May 28, 2005.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was lower during the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 (13.7 percent) when compared to the comparable period ended May 29, 2004 (14.5 percent). When comparing the two year-to-date periods, lower production volume, lower production efficiencies and a physical inventory adjustment offset partially by favorable pricing impacted the gross profit percentage during the period ended May 28, 2005. Unfavorably impacting gross profit for the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004 was the recording of a reserve of approximately $1.9 million (representing .2 percent of net revenues) associated with a product recall.
Selling expenses decreased by 2.6 percent ($0.4 million) during the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005, to $13.4 million (1.7 percent of net revenues) compared to $13.8 million (1.7 percent of net revenues for the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004). The decrease in dollars was due primarily to a reduction in sales employee incentive compensation costs offset partially by increased advertising costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased 36.3 percent during the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005, to $15.9 million (2.1 percent of net revenues) compared to $25.0 million (3.0 percent of net revenues) for the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004. The decreases in dollars and percentage were due primarily to a $7.3 million charge the Company recorded in the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004 in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit. A reduction of approximately $1.6 million in management incentive compensation costs for the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 also contributed to the decreases.
Financial income increased 98.9 percent during the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 to $1.9 million from $1.0 million for the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004. The increase in financial income during the first three quarters of Fiscal 2005 was due to more cash being available for investing than during the first three quarters of Fiscal 2004. Also, the average rate the Company earned on investments during the Fiscal 2005 period was higher than the average rate earned during the Fiscal 2004 period.
The overall effective income tax rate decreased to 35.5 percent for the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 from 37.6 percent for the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in nondeductible losses in Winnebago Health Care Management Company.
Net income and earnings per diluted share decreased by 3.8 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively, when comparing the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 to the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004. The difference in percentages was due primarily to a lower number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock during the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005, as a result of common stock repurchased by the Company. (See Note 10 of the Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND RESOURCES
The Company meets its working capital, capital equipment and other cash requirements with funds generated from operations.
At May 28, 2005, working capital was $185.3 million, an increase of $20.5 million from August 28, 2004‘s amount of $164.8 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 was $76.4 million compared to $78.9 million for the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004. The major items affecting cash from operations were as follows:
| Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended | ||||||||

| Cash provided by: | ||||||||

| Other | 10,228 | 22,571 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 76,357 | $ | 78,894 | ||||
Changes in cash flows from operating activities for the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005 were due primarily to:
Decreases in receivables and other assets were due to the dealer’s payment for unit deliveries, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2005, recorded as receivables as of the fiscal year-end, and a return to a more normal receivables level.
Decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses were due to the payment of Fiscal 2004 employee incentive programs and a reduction in payables owed to the Company’ vendors.
Changes in cash flows from operating activities for the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004 were due primarily to:
Decreases in receivables and other assets were due to the dealers’ payment for unit deliveries.
The increase in accounts payable balances was due primarily to increases in the Company’s production schedule.
Increases in inventories were due primarily to a larger number of chassis in the Company’s inventory and an increase in finished goods units of approximately 330 units at May 29, 2004.
The primary uses of cash for investing activities were for capital equipment requirements of $6.7 million for the 39-week period ended May 28, 2005 compared to $7.7 million during the 39-week period ended May 29, 2004.
The Company purchased $196.4 million of short-term investments and received proceeds of $143.5 million from the sale or maturity of short-term investments during the 39 weeks ended May 28, 2005. During the 39 weeks ended May 29, 2004 the Company purchased $123.3 million of short-term investments and received proceeds of $132.0 million from the sale or maturity of short-term investments.

Cash used by financing activities for the period ended May 28, 2005 was $26.8 million for the Company’s common stock repurchases and $7.1 million for the payment of cash dividends offset partially by $3.2 million from the proceeds of the issuance of treasury stock under employee benefit plans. Primary uses of cash in financing activities for the period ended May 29, 2004 were $74.3 million for Company’s common stock repurchases and $5.2 million for the payment of cash dividends offset partially by $4.5 million cash provided from the proceeds of the issuance of treasury stock.
On May 28, 2005 the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $10.3 million and available-for-sale securities – short-term investments was $104.0 million. Estimated demands at May 28, 2005 on the Company’s liquid assets for the remainder of Fiscal 2005 include $2.6 million for capital expenditures, primarily for production equipment, and $2.3 million for payments of cash dividends. On June 16, 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, depending on market conditions, for an aggregate of up to $30 million. As of May 28, 2005, 971,331 shares had been repurchased for an aggregate consideration of approximately $30 million which terminates this authorization. On June 15, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, depending on market conditions, for an aggregate of up to $30 million.
Management currently expects its cash on hand and funds from operations to be sufficient to cover both short-term and long-term operation requirements.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
Order backlog for the Company’s motor homes was as follows:
| Units | May 28, 2005 | May 29, 2004 | (Decrease) Increase | % Change | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class A motor homes (gas) | 566 | 1,100 | (534 | ) | (48.5 | %) | ||||||||
| Class A motor homes (diesel) | 123 | 532 | (409 | ) | (76.9 | %) | ||||||||
| Class C motor homes | 834 | 812 | 22 | 2.7 | % | |||||||||
| Total backlog | 1,523 | 2,444 | (921 | ) | (37.7 | %) | ||||||||
| Total approximate revenue | ||||||||||||||
| dollars (in millions) | $ | 116.5 | $ | 214.4 | $ | (97.9 | ) | (45.7 | %) | |||||
The Company includes in its backlog all accepted purchase orders from dealers shippable within the next six months. Orders in backlog can be canceled or postponed at the option of the purchaser at any time without penalty and, therefore, backlog may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales. As a result of a weaker backlog and industry-wide softness in the motor home market, the Company will continue to adjust its factory schedule as necessary to correspond to the demand for its products.
Long-term demographics are favorable for the Company as its target market of consumers age 50 and older is expected to increase for the next 30 years. In addition to growth in the target market due to the aging of the baby boom generation, a study conducted in 2001 by the University of Michigan for the RV industry shows that the age of people interested in purchasing RVs is also expanding to include younger buyers under 35 years of age as well as older buyers over age 75 who are staying healthy and active much later in life. This study also shows an increased interest in owning RVs by a larger percentage of all U.S. households.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
As of May 28, 2005, the Company had $114.3 million of cash and short-term investments consisting of $10.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities of $104.0 million. Taking into account the credit risk criteria of our investments policies, the primary market risk associated with these investments is interest rate risk and a decline in value if market interest rates increase. However, the Company has the ability to hold its fixed income investments for the typical Dutch auction period (an average of 45 days) and based upon historical experience does not believe there are significant risks of a failed Dutch auction. Therefore, the Company would not expect to recognize a material adverse impact in income or cash flows in the event of a decline in value due to an increase in market interest rates.
18
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Subsequent to the issuance of its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 26 weeks ended February26, 2005, the Company identified an error in its annual physical inventory adjustment recorded during the second quarter of Fiscal 2005, due to a formula error in an electronic spreadsheet. As a result of the identified error, Management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concluded a restatement of the Company’s financial statements included in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 26, 2005 was necessary. This restatement was completed with the filing of Form 10-Q/A on May 27, 2005. The Company has evaluated and documented its internal controls over financial reporting, including the controls over electronic spreadsheets. The Company has implemented improved controls over all significant electronic spreadsheets supporting financial statements as of the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2005.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended May 28, 2005. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in achieving the objectives for which they were designed.
Furthermore, except for improvements in controls described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Forest City, Iowa
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Winnebago Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of May 28, 2005, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the 13- and 39-week periods ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004, and of cash flows for the 39-week periods ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of August 28, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated November 10, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 28, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
