WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2018 RESULTS
-- Record Quarterly Revenues Increased 18% on Continued Strong Towable Segment Growth --
-- Record Quarterly Diluted EPS of $1.02, Up 67% Over Prior Year --
-- Gross Margins Increased 30 Basis Points Over Prior Year --
FOREST CITY, IOWA, June 20, 2018 - Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE:WGO), a leading outdoor lifestyle product manufacturer, today reported financial results for the Company's third quarter of Fiscal 2018.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2018 Results
Revenues for the Fiscal 2018 third quarter ended May 26, 2018, were $562.3 million, an increase of 18.0% compared to $476.4 million for the Fiscal 2017 period. Gross profit was $85.5 million, an increase of 20.8% compared to $70.8 million for the Fiscal 2017 period. Gross profit margin was 15.2% in the quarter, an increase of 30 basis points versus 14.9% last year, driven by the continuation of accelerated growth in the Towable segment. Operating income was $48.3 million for the quarter, an improvement of 38.5% compared to $34.9 million in the third quarter of last year. Fiscal 2018 third quarter net income was $32.5 million, an increase of 67.7% compared to $19.4 million in the same period last year. Earnings per diluted share were $1.02, an increase of 67.2% compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.61 in the same period last year. During the quarter, the Company utilized a portion of its tax reform benefit for employee bonuses and making a contribution to its foundation, leading to a one-time expense of $3.4 million, or $0.11 per share, net of tax. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $53.4 million for the quarter, compared to $47.3 million last year, an increase of 12.7% driven by strong Towable segment revenue and profit growth.
President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Happe commented, “Winnebago Industries delivered strong top and bottom-line growth, margin expansion and market share gains in the quarter. New product performance, our evolving portfolio mix, and agility in managing cost pressures all contributed nicely to our third quarter results. The Towable segment saw strong organic top-line growth and increased profitability, in addition to delivering another period of retail market share expansion. Our strong performance to-date in Fiscal 2018 and confidence in our market share trends for Towable RVs is reflected in our capacity expansion efforts during the quarter, as we broke ground on our Winnebago-branded Towable expansion project and started up a new Grand Design RV production line. We look forward to having additional capacity to deliver more of the Towable products our customers love as well as to bring new innovative products to market. Our Motorized business also saw continued progress with adjusted EBITDA strengthening from our previous quarter, as multiple investments in the business start to generate the moderate improvement we anticipated. While inflationary pressures have been building and will continue to do so, our teams are working hard to mitigate these through numerous cost savings initiatives and select price increases where necessary. Our new product launches across both segments are performing well, driving healthy backlog increases, and we remain comfortable with our current dealer inventory levels which are supported by our strong retail performance and increases in market share.”
Mr. Happe added, “During the quarter, and as previously announced, we distributed a portion of our tax reform savings to our hardworking Winnebago Industries employees through one time bonus payments. Additionally, we made a meaningful donation to our Winnebago foundation which will help us, in the future, to give back to the communities in which we operate. As always, I want to thank all of our employees for their dedication and commitment to the future of Winnebago Industries.”

Motorized
In the third quarter, revenues for the Motorized segment were $249.2 million, up 3.1% from the previous year. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $9.3 million, down 36.0% from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 3.7%, a decrease of 230 basis points versus the same period last year, but an improvement of 170 basis points compared to 2.0% in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2018. The margin impact of the one-time tax reform reinvestments mentioned earlier was dilutive to Adjusted EBITDA by 120 basis points in the quarter. Backlog increased 31.4% over the prior year, reflecting the strength of our recently introduced products.
Towable
Revenues for the Towable segment were $313.0 million for the quarter, up 33.4% from the previous year, driven by strong organic growth across the Grand Design RV and Winnebago-branded product lines. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $44.0 million, up 34.4% over the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.1%, an increase of 10 basis points, driven by higher volumes and a favorable product mix. The margin impact of the one-time tax reform investments mentioned earlier was dilutive to Adjusted EBITDA by 60 basis points in the quarter. Backlog remains strong, growing 15.1% and compared to a strong backlog in the prior year, while retail sales continue to yield market share gains by outpacing the industry for both brands.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of May 26, 2018, the Company had total outstanding debt of $251.8 million ($260.0 million of debt, net of debt issuance costs of $8.2 million) and working capital of $183.4 million. Cash flow from operations was $61.0 million for the nine months ended May 26, 2018. The ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.2x as of May 26, 2018.
Tax Reform Impact
The Company recorded a tax rate of 26.4% in the third quarter compared to a rate of 34.6% in the prior year. The reduction in the rate is related to the lower federal tax rate enacted in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
On May 23, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable on July 5, 2018, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on June 20, 2018.
Mr. Happe continued, “As we enter the final quarter of Fiscal 2018, there is much to be excited about at Winnebago Industries even as we navigate several external pressures. As mentioned earlier, we experienced inflationary input cost pressures during our fiscal third quarter and we expect those pressures to continue into the fourth quarter. As always, we will work closely with our supplier base, and internally on cost savings initiatives, to lessen the impacts on our dealer network and end customers of any necessary increases. In the quarter, we announced the launch of an all-electric, zero-emission commercial vehicle platform in conjunction with a strategic partnership with Motiv Power Systems, a U.S. market leader in medium-duty electric vehicle chassis. And earlier this month, but after the close of our fiscal third quarter, we announced our acquisition of Chris-Craft, an iconic marine brand and an industry leader in recreational boating. The addition of a premium marine brand aligns with our strategic initiative to expand the Winnebago Industries portfolio within the outdoor lifestyle market and provides a new revenue platform in an exciting marine market that will enable us to continue to drive improved profitability and shareholder value over the long term. Our improved RV portfolio and strategic investments continue to benefit the business as a whole, and we look forward to realizing the strategic and financial benefits of a broader, more balanced and diversified portfolio of products uniquely positioned across the outdoor lifestyle and leisure travel industries.”

(1) | Percentages may not add due to rounding differences. |
(2) | We include in our backlog all accepted orders from dealers generally to be shipped within the next six months. Orders in backlog can be cancelled or postponed at the option of the dealer at any time without penalty and, therefore, backlog may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales. |

We have provided non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in the accompanying news release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in the news release. The non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying news release may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

We have provided non-GAAP performance measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a comparable measure to illustrate the effect of non-recurring transactions occurring during the quarter and improve 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. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because each measure excludes amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. These types of adjustments are also specified in the definition of certain measures required under the terms of our credit facility. Examples of items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include the postretirement health care benefit income from terminating the plan and transaction costs related to our acquisition of Grand Design.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as its 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 their assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company; (d) to evaluate potential acquisitions; and, (e) to ensure compliance with covenants and restricted activities under the terms of our Credit Facility. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
