WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES REPORTS RESULTS FOR
SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2012
FOREST CITY, IOWA, March 15, 2012 - Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE:WGO), one of the leading United States (U.S.) recreation vehicle manufacturers, today reported financial results for the Company's second quarter of fiscal year 2012 and first six months of Fiscal 2012.
Revenues for the second quarter of Fiscal 2012 ended February 25, 2012 were $131.6 million, an increase of 23.5 percent, versus $106.6 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2011. Included within consolidated revenues was $14.5 million associated with towable products, compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2011. The Company reported an operating loss of $1.2 million for the quarter versus an operating profit of $4.1 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2011. Net loss for the second quarter was $912,000 versus net income of $3.3 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2011. On a diluted per share basis, the Company had a net loss of $0.03 for the second quarter of Fiscal 2012 versus net income of $0.11 for the second quarter of Fiscal 2011.
Although revenues were higher as compared to the prior year primarily due to an increase in wholesale deliveries, the second quarter of Fiscal 2012 was negatively impacted by increased discounts and continued aggressive pricing strategies. The additional motor home wholesale volume prevented shortened work weeks that were experienced in the first quarter and also resulted in reduced inventory levels which significantly improved operating cash flows as compared to the prior year. The second quarter of Fiscal 2011 included a $3.5 million pre-tax benefit from the results of an annual physical inventory of work-in-process, due to lower actual inventory scrap and production loss.
Revenues for the first six months of Fiscal 2012 were $263.4 million, an increase of 14.4 percent, compared to $230.3 million for the first six months of Fiscal 2011. The Company reported an operating loss of $537,000 for the first six months of Fiscal 2012, compared to an operating profit of $9.0 million for the same period of Fiscal 2011. Net income for the first six months of Fiscal 2012 was $123,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, versus net income of $7.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the first six months of the last fiscal year.
“While we saw an increase in year over year wholesale shipments of both our motor homes and towables in the second quarter, we are disappointed with our financial results," said Winnebago Industries' Chairman, CEO and President Randy Potts. "However, we believe that we are better positioned for the future with a stronger sales order backlog as compared to the prior year. Our motor home order position of current model year product is nearly sold out at this time and we are excited about the new 2013 product launch starting in our third quarter. We are cautiously optimistic about growth in the general economy, given the improvement in consumer confidence, employment and housing starts."
