PART I

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are presented in thousands except per share data.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The following discussion of our business solely relates to ongoing operations.

General Development of Business

Our company was founded in 1980 and, through its subsidiaries, manufactures and sells a wide range of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) in the United States and Canada. We are incorporated in Delaware and are the successor to a corporation of the same name which was incorporated in Nevada on July 29, 1980. Our principal executive office is located at 601 East Beardsley Avenue, Elkhart, Indiana 46514 and our telephone number is (574) 970-7460. Our Internet address is www.thorindustries.com. We maintain copies of our recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), available free of charge, on our web site. Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, all references to “Thor”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Thor Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Our principal recreational vehicle operating subsidiaries are Airstream, Inc. (“Airstream”), CrossRoads RV (“CrossRoads”), Thor Motor Coach, Inc. (“Thor Motor Coach”), Keystone RV Company (“Keystone”), Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (“Heartland”), Livin’ Lite RV, Inc. (“Livin’ Lite”), Bison Coach (“Bison”) and K.Z., Inc. (“KZ”).

On June 3, 2013, Thor Wakarusa, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thor, purchased a recreational vehicle production campus in Wakarusa, Indiana for $5,819. The purchase included land and production facilities, comprised of approximately one million square feet of total production space on more than 150 acres, along with certain related equipment, including more than 35 paint booths specifically designed for painting recreational vehicles. The Company uses the facilities primarily for motorized recreational vehicle production and to vertically integrate certain paint operations through one of its towable recreational vehicle subsidiaries.

On August 30, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of towable recreational vehicle manufacturer Livin’ Lite Corp., located in Wakarusa, Indiana, through a wholly-owned subsidiary for final cash consideration of $16,769, net of cash acquired. As a result of the purchase, the Company formed a new entity, Livin’ Lite. The Company purchased the assets to expand its recreational vehicle market share and complement its existing brands with Livin’ Lite’s advanced lightweight product offerings. Under our ownership, Livin’ Lite operates as an independent operation in the same manner as our existing recreational vehicle subsidiaries.

On October 31, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of towable recreational vehicle manufacturer Bison Coach, LLC, located in Milford, Indiana, for final cash consideration of $16,914. As a result of the purchase, the Company formed a new entity, Bison. The Company purchased the net assets of Bison to supplement its existing product offerings with Bison’s equestrian products with living quarters. Under our ownership, Bison operates as an independent operation in the same manner as our existing recreational vehicle subsidiaries.

On May 1, 2014, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of towable recreational vehicle manufacturer KZ for initial cash consideration paid in fiscal 2014 of $52,409, net of cash acquired, and a working capital adjustment of $2,915 paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company purchased KZ to expand its towable recreational vehicle market share and supplement its existing towable RV product offerings and dealer base. Under our ownership, KZ operates as an independent operation in the same manner as our existing recreational vehicle subsidiaries.

Discontinued Operations

On July 31, 2013, we entered into a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement and sold our bus business to Allied Specialty Vehicles, Inc. (“ASV”) for final cash consideration of $105,043. The sale closed on October 20, 2013. Thor’s bus business included Champion Bus, Inc., General Coach America, Inc., Goshen Coach, Inc., El Dorado National (California), Inc., and El Dorado National (Kansas), Inc. As a result of the divestiture of the bus business, the assets and liabilities of the bus business are reported as assets or liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2013 and the results of operations as income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012. Discontinued operations also reflect the results of the ambulance product line through the date of its sale on April 30, 2013. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Recreational Vehicles

Thor, through its operating subsidiaries, is one of the largest manufacturers of RVs in North America, by units sold and revenue, based on retail statistics published by Statistical Surveys, Inc. and other reported data.

Recreational Vehicles

Overview

We manufacture and sell a wide variety of recreational vehicles throughout the United States and Canada, as well as related parts and accessories. Recreational vehicle classifications are based upon standards established by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”). The principal types of towable recreational vehicles that we produce include conventional travel trailers, fifth wheels and park models. In addition, we also produce truck and folding campers and equestrian and other specialty towable vehicles, as well as Class A, Class C and Class B motorhomes.

Travel trailers are non-motorized vehicles which are designed to be towed by passenger automobiles, pickup trucks, SUVs or vans. Travel trailers provide comfortable, self-contained living facilities for camping and vacationing purposes. We produce “conventional” and “fifth wheel” travel trailers. Conventional trailers are towed by means of a frame hitch attached to the towing vehicle. Fifth wheel trailers, designed to be towed by pickup trucks, are constructed with a raised forward section that is attached to a receiver in the bed area of the pickup truck.

Park models are recreational dwellings towed to a permanent site such as a lake, woods or park. The maximum size of park models in the United States is 400 square feet. They provide comfortable self-contained living and are second homes for their owners.

A motorhome is a self-powered vehicle built on a motor vehicle chassis. Motorhomes are self-contained with their own lighting, heating, cooking, refrigeration, sewage holding and water storage facilities, so that they can be utilized without being attached to utilities.

Class A motorhomes, generally constructed on medium-duty truck chassis, are supplied complete with engine and drivetrain components by motor vehicle manufacturers such as Ford and Freightliner. We design, manufacture and install the living area and driver’s compartment of Class A motorhomes. Class C and Class B motorhomes are built on a Ford, General Motors or Mercedes Benz small truck or van chassis, which includes an engine, drivetrain components and a finished cab section. We construct a living area which has access to the driver’s compartment and attaches to the cab section. Although they are not designed for permanent or semi-permanent living, motorhomes can provide comfortable living facilities for camping and vacationing purposes.

Production

In order to minimize finished inventory, our recreational vehicles generally are produced to dealer order. Our facilities are designed to provide efficient assembly line manufacturing of products. Capacity increases can be achieved quickly and at relatively low cost, largely by increasing the number of production employees or by acquiring or leasing additional facilities and equipment.

We purchase in finished form many of the components used in the production of our recreational vehicles. The principal raw materials used in the manufacturing processes for motorhomes and travel trailers are aluminum, lumber, plywood, plastic, fiberglass and steel purchased from numerous suppliers. We believe that, except for chassis and key towable RV components sourced from a major supplier, Drew Industries, Inc. (“Drew”), substitute sources for raw materials and components are available with no material impact on our operations.

Our relationship with our chassis suppliers is similar to our other vendor relationships in that no long-term contractual commitments are entered into by either party. Historically, Ford and General Motors resort to an industry-wide allocation system during periods when chassis supply is restricted. These allocations are based on the volume of chassis previously purchased. Sales of motorhomes rely on these chassis and are affected accordingly. To date, we have not experienced any unusual cost increases from our chassis suppliers.

Generally, all of our operating subsidiaries introduce new or improved lines or models of recreational vehicles each year. Changes typically include new sizes and floor plans, different decors or design features and engineering improvements.

Seasonality

Since recreational vehicles are used primarily by vacationers and campers, our recreational vehicle sales are seasonal and, in most geographical areas, tend to be significantly lower during the winter months than in other periods. As a result, recreational vehicle sales are historically lowest during our second fiscal quarter, which ends on January 31 of each year.

Marketing and Distribution

We market our recreational vehicles through independent dealers located throughout the United States and Canada. Each of our recreational vehicle operating subsidiaries maintains its own dealer organization, with some dealers carrying more than one of our product lines. As of July 31, 2014, there were approximately 1,950 dealerships carrying our products in the U.S. and Canada. We believe that close working relationships between our management and sales personnel and the many independent dealers with which we work provide us with valuable information on customer preferences and the quality and marketability of our products. Additionally, by maintaining substantially separate dealer networks for each of our subsidiaries, our products are targeted to be competing against competitors’ products in similar price ranges rather than against our other products.

Each of our recreational vehicle operating subsidiaries has an independent sales force to call on their dealers. Our most important sales promotions occur at the major recreational vehicle shows which take place throughout the year at different locations across the country. We benefit from the recreational vehicle awareness advertising and major marketing programs sponsored by the RVIA in national print media and television. We engage in a limited amount of consumer-oriented advertising for our recreational vehicles, primarily through industry magazines, product brochures, direct mail advertising campaigns and the internet.

In our selection of individual dealers, we emphasize the dealer’s ability to maintain a sufficient inventory of our products, as well as their financial stability, credit worthiness, reputation, experience and ability to provide service. Many of our dealers carry the recreational vehicle lines of one or more of our competitors. Generally, each of our operating subsidiaries has sales agreements with their dealers.

During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, one of our dealers, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for 17%, 17% and 14% of our continuing consolidated net sales, respectively. This dealer also accounted for 21% of the Company’s continuing consolidated trade accounts receivable at July 31, 2014 and 24% at July 31, 2013.

We generally do not finance dealer purchases. Most dealers are financed on a “floor plan” basis by an unrelated bank or financing company which lends the dealer all or substantially all of the wholesale purchase price and retains a security interest in the vehicles purchased. As is customary in the recreational vehicle industry, we will execute a repurchase agreement with a lending institution financing a dealer’s purchase of our products upon the lending institution’s request. Repurchase agreements provide that, typically for a period of up to 18 months after a unit is financed, and in the event of default by the dealer and notification from the lending institution of the dealer default, we will repurchase all the dealer units repossessed by the lending institution for the amount then due, which is often less than 100% of the dealer’s cost. The risk of loss under repurchase agreements is spread over numerous dealers and is further reduced by the resale value of the units which we would be required to repurchase. We believe that any future losses under these agreements would not have a material adverse effect on our Company. The losses incurred due to repurchase were $288, $906 and $360 in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Backlog

As of July 31, 2014, the backlog for towable and motorized recreational vehicle orders was $296,828 and $241,246, respectively, compared to $228,416 and $213,116, respectively, at July 31, 2013. Backlog represents unfilled dealer orders on a particular day which can and do fluctuate on a seasonal basis. In the recreational vehicle business our manufacturing time is relatively short. The existing backlog of towable and motorized recreational vehicles is expected to be filled in fiscal 2015.

Historically, the amount of our current backlog compared to our backlog in previous periods reflects general economic and industry conditions and, together with other relevant factors such as continued acceptance of our products by the consumer, may be an indicator of our revenues in the near term.

Product Warranties

We generally provide retail purchasers of our recreational vehicles with a one-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship with longer warranties on certain structural components. The chassis and engines of our motorhomes are generally warranted for three years or 36,000 miles by their manufacturers.

Regulation

We are subject to the provisions of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (“NTMVSA”) and the safety standards for recreational vehicles and recreational vehicle components which have been promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Because of our sales in Canada, we are also governed by similar laws and regulations issued by the Canadian government.

We are a member of the RVIA, a voluntary association of recreational vehicle manufacturers which promulgates recreational vehicle safety standards. We place an RVIA seal on each of our recreational vehicles to certify that the RVIA’s standards have been met.

##### Table of Contents

Both federal and state authorities have various environmental control standards relating to air, water and noise pollution which affect our business and operations. For example, these standards, which are generally applicable to all companies, control our choice of paints, our air compressor discharge, our waste water and the noise emitted by our factories. We rely upon certifications obtained by chassis manufacturers with respect to compliance by our vehicles with all applicable emission control standards.

We are also subject to the regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”). Our plants are periodically inspected by federal agencies concerned with health and safety in the work place, and by the RVIA, to ensure that our plants and products comply with applicable governmental and industry standards.

We believe that our products and facilities comply in all material respects with applicable vehicle safety, environmental, RVIA and OSHA regulations.

We do not believe that ongoing compliance with the regulations discussed above will have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Competition

The recreational vehicle industry is generally characterized by ease of entry, although the codes, standards and safety requirements are a deterrent to new competitors. The need to develop an effective dealer network and to support wholesale lending through floor plan finance companies also act as barriers to entry. The recreational vehicle market is intensely competitive with a number of other manufacturers selling products which compete directly with our products. Competition in the recreational vehicle industry is based upon price, design, value, quality and service. We believe that the quality, design and price of our products and the warranty coverage and service that we provide allow us to compete favorably for retail purchasers of recreational vehicles. There are approximately 70 RV manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada.

Our primary competitors within the towable segment include Forest River, Inc. and Jayco, Inc. while our primary competitors within the motorized segment are Winnebago Industries, Inc. and Forest River, Inc. We estimate that, in the aggregate, we are one of the largest recreational vehicle manufacturers in terms of both units produced and revenue. According to Statistical Surveys, Inc., for the six months ended June 30, 2014 our U.S. market share for travel trailers and fifth wheels is approximately 38.2% and our U.S. market share for motorhomes is approximately 24.7%.

Trademarks and Patents

We have registered United States trademarks, Canadian trademarks, certain international trademarks and licenses carrying the principal trade names and model lines under which our products are marketed. We hold and protect certain patents related to our business. We are not dependent upon any patents or technology licenses of others for the conduct of our business.

Employee Relations

At July 31, 2014, we employed approximately 9,400 full-time employees in the United States, of which approximately 1,070 were salaried. None of our employees are represented by certified labor organizations. We believe that we maintain a good working relationship with our employees.

Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales

Export sales from our continuing U.S. operations, primarily to Canada, were $521,818, $537,374 and $456,073 in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors, which relate to our continuing operations, should be considered carefully in addition to the other information contained in this filing.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face and represent some of the risks that our management believes are material to our Company and our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed.

Risks Relating To Our Business

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive.

The industry that we are engaged in is highly competitive and we have numerous existing and potential competitors. The recreational vehicle industry is generally characterized by ease of entry, although the current codes, standards and safety requirements may be a deterrent to new competitors. The need to develop an effective dealer network and to support wholesale lending through floor plan finance companies also act as barriers to entry. Competition is based upon price, design, value, quality and service. Competitive pressures have, from time to time, resulted in a reduction of our profit margins. Sustained increases in these competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. There can be no assurance that existing or new competitors will not develop products that are superior to ours or that achieve better consumer acceptance, thereby adversely affecting our market share, sales volume and profit margins.

The industry in which we operate is centered in northern Indiana.

The majority of our operations are located in one region. The geographic centrality of the RV industry in northern Indiana creates certain risks, including:

| — |  | Competition for workers skilled in the industry, especially during times of increasing RV production, may increase the cost of our labor; and

| — |  | Employee retention and recruitment challenges, as employees with industry knowledge and experience are attracted to the most lucrative positions and their ability to change employers is relatively easy.

Our business is cyclical and this can lead to fluctuations in our operating results.

The recreational vehicle industry in which we operate is cyclical and there can be substantial fluctuations in our production levels, shipments and operating results. Consequently, the results for any prior period may not be indicative of results for any future period.

Our business is seasonal and this leads to fluctuations in sales, production and net income.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant variability in sales, production and net income as a result of annual seasonality in our business. Since recreational vehicles are used primarily by vacationers and campers, demand in the recreational vehicle industry generally declines during the winter season, while sales and profits are generally highest during the spring and summer months. In addition, unusually severe weather conditions in some geographic areas may delay the timing of shipments from one quarter to another.

Our business may be affected by certain external factors beyond our control.

Companies within the recreational vehicle industry are subject to volatility in operating results due to external factors such as general economic conditions, including credit availability, consumer confidence, employment rates, prevailing interest rates, inflation, other economic conditions affecting consumer attitudes and disposable consumer income, demographic changes and political changes. Specific factors affecting our business include:

| — |  | Overall consumer confidence and the level of discretionary consumer spending;

| — |  | Inventory levels, including the level of retail sales by our dealers;

| — |  | General economic, market and political conditions, including war, terrorism and military conflict;

| — |  | Demographics, such as the retirement of “baby boomers”;

The loss of our largest dealer could have a significant effect on our business.

FreedomRoads, LLC accounted for 17% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014. The loss of this dealer could have a significant adverse effect on our business. In addition, deterioration in the liquidity or credit worthiness of FreedomRoads, LLC could negatively impact our sales and accounts receivable and could trigger repurchase obligations under our repurchase agreements.

Certain of our notes receivable may have collectability risk.

In December 2009, we entered into a $10,000 credit agreement with Marcus Lemonis, Stephen Adams, in his individual capacity, and Stephen Adams and his successors, as trustee under the Trust (collectively, the “December 2009 Loan Borrowers”), and later modified in December 2012, pursuant to which $7,400 of original principal is outstanding as of July 31, 2014 with the final payment due on August 30, 2015. The December 2009 Loan Borrowers own, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC, the parent company of FreedomRoads, LLC, our largest dealer.

While we believe that the current note receivable from the December 2009 Loan Borrowers is collectable, deterioration in the liquidity or credit worthiness of the December 2009 Loan Borrowers could impact the collectability of this note receivable.

Fuel shortages, or high prices for fuel, could have a negative effect on sales of our recreational vehicles.

Gasoline or diesel fuel is required for the operation of our vehicles. There can be no assurance that the supply of these petroleum products will continue uninterrupted, that rationing will not be imposed or that the price of or tax on these petroleum products will not significantly increase in the future. Shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel, and substantial increases in the price of fuel, have had a material adverse effect on the recreational vehicle industry as a whole in the past and could have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.

Our business depends on the performance of independent dealers and transportation carriers.

We distribute our products through a system of independent, authorized dealers, many of whom sell products from competing manufacturers. The geographic coverage of our dealers and their individual business conditions can affect the ability of our authorized dealers to sell our products to consumers. In addition, recent consolidation of dealers, as well as the growth of larger, multi-location dealers, may result in increased bargaining power on the part of dealers.

Most often, our products are delivered via a system of independent transportation contractors. The network of carriers is limited and, in times of high demand and limited availability, can create risk in, and disruption of, our distribution channel.

Our business is affected by the availability and terms of financing to dealers and retail purchasers.

Our business is affected by the availability and terms of financing to dealers and retail purchasers. Generally, recreational vehicle dealers finance their purchases of inventory with financing provided by lending institutions. A decrease in the availability of this type of wholesale financing or an increase in the cost of such wholesale financing can prevent dealers from carrying adequate levels of inventory, which limits product offerings and could lead to reduced demand. In addition, two major financial flooring institutions held approximately 85% of our portion of our dealers’ total floored dollars outstanding at July 31, 2014.

Substantial increases in interest rates and decreases in the general availability of credit have also had an adverse impact upon our business and results of operations in the past and may do so in the future. Further, a decrease in availability of consumer credit resulting from unfavorable economic conditions, or an increase in the cost of consumer credit, may cause consumers to reduce discretionary spending which could, in turn, reduce demand for our products and negatively affect our sales and profitability.

Changes in consumer preferences for our products or our failure to gauge those preferences could lead to reduced sales and additional costs.

Our ability to remain competitive depends heavily on our ability to provide a continuing and timely introduction of innovative product offerings. We cannot be certain that historical consumer preferences for our products in general, and recreational vehicles in particular, will remain unchanged. We believe that the introduction of new features, designs and models will be critical to the future success of our recreational vehicle operations. Managing frequent product introductions and transitions poses inherent risks. Delays in the introduction or market acceptance of new models, designs or product features could have a material adverse effect on our business. Products may not be accepted for a number of reasons, including changes in consumer preferences or our failure to properly gauge consumer preferences. Further, we cannot be certain that new product introductions will not reduce revenues from existing models and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that any of these new models or products will be introduced to the market on time or that they will be successful when introduced.

If the frequency and size of product liability and other claims against us increase, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be harmed.

We are subject, in the ordinary course of business, to litigation involving product liability and other claims against us, including wrongful death, personal injury and warranties. We generally self-insure our product liability and other claims and also purchase product liability and other insurance in the commercial insurance market. We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all future claims against us. We have a self-insured retention (“SIR”) for products liability and personal injury matters ranging from $1,000 to $7,500 depending on the product type and when the occurrence took place. Generally, any occurrence (as defined by our insurance policies) after March 31, 2014 is subject to the $1,000 SIR.

Amounts above the SIR, up to a certain dollar amount, are covered by our excess insurance policy. Currently, we maintain excess liability insurance aggregating $50,000 with outside insurance carriers to minimize our risks related to catastrophic claims in excess of our self-insured positions for products liability and personal injury matters. Any material change in the aforementioned factors could have an adverse impact on our operating results. Any increase in the frequency and size of these claims, as compared to our experience in prior years, may cause the premium that we are required to pay for insurance to increase significantly and may negatively impact future SIR levels. It may also increase the amounts we pay in punitive damages, not all of which are covered by our insurance.

When we introduce new products into the marketplace, we may incur expenses that we did not anticipate, which, in turn, can result in reduced earnings.

The introduction of new models is critical to our future success. We may incur unexpected expenses, however, when we introduce new models. For example, we may experience unexpected engineering or design flaws that will force a recall of a new product or may cause increased warranty costs. The costs resulting from these types of problems could be substantial and could have a significant adverse effect on our earnings.

Our repurchase agreements with floor plan lenders could result in increased costs.

In accordance with customary practice in the recreational vehicle industry, upon the request of a lending institution financing a dealer’s purchase of our products, we will execute a repurchase agreement with the lending institution. Repurchase agreements provide that, typically for a period of up to 18 months after a recreational vehicle is financed and in the event of default by the dealer, we will repurchase the recreational vehicle repossessed by the lending institution for the amount then due, which is usually less than 100% of the dealer’s cost. In addition to the guarantee under these repurchase agreements, we may also be required to repurchase inventory relative to dealer terminations in certain states in accordance with state laws or regulatory requirements. The difference between the gross repurchase price and the price at which the repurchased product can then be resold, which is typically at a discount to the original sale price, is an expense to us. Thus, if we were obligated to repurchase a substantially greater number of recreational vehicles, or incurred substantially greater discounting to resell these units in the future, this would increase our costs. In difficult economic times this amount could increase significantly compared to recent years.

For some of our components, we depend on a small group of suppliers and the loss of any of these suppliers could affect our ability to obtain components at competitive prices which would decrease our margins.

We depend on timely and sufficient delivery of components from our suppliers. Most components are readily available from a variety of sources. However, a few components are currently produced by only a small group of quality suppliers that have the capacity to supply large quantities on a national basis.

Primarily, this occurs in the case of 1) motorized chassis, where Ford Motor Company and General Motors are dominant suppliers, and 2) windows and doors, towable chassis and slide-out mechanisms, axles and upholstered furniture for our recreational vehicles, where Drew is a major supplier for these items within the RV industry.

The recreational vehicle industry as a whole has, from time to time, experienced shortages of chassis due to the concentration or allocation of available resources by suppliers of chassis to the manufacturers of vehicles other than recreational vehicles or for other causes. Historically, in the event of an industry-wide restriction of supply, Ford Motor Company and General Motors have allocated chassis among us and our competitors based on the volume of chassis previously purchased. If Ford Motor Company or General Motors were to discontinue the manufacturing of motorhome chassis, or if, as a group, all of our chassis suppliers significantly reduced the availability of chassis to the industry, our business could be adversely affected. Similarly, shortages at, or production delays or work stoppages by the employees of Ford Motor Company, General Motors or other chassis suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on our sales. If the condition of the U.S. auto industry were to significantly deteriorate, this could also result in supply interruptions and a decrease in our sales and earnings while we obtain replacement chassis from other sources.

Drew is a major supplier of a number of key components of our recreational vehicles such as windows and doors, towable chassis and slide-out mechanisms, axles and upholstered furniture. We have not experienced any significant shortages or delays in delivery related to these items; however, if industry demand were to increase faster than Drew can respond, or other factors impact their ability to continue to supply our needs for these key components, our business could be adversely affected.

Finally, as is standard in the industry, arrangements with chassis and other suppliers such as Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Drew are terminable at any time by either our Company or the supplier. If we cannot obtain an adequate supply of chassis or key components, this could result in a decrease in our sales and earnings.

Our products and services may experience quality problems from time to time that can result in decreased sales and gross margin and could harm our reputation.

Our products contain thousands of parts, many of which are supplied by a network of approved vendors. As with all of our competitors, defects may occur in our products, including those purchased from our vendors. There can be no assurance that we can detect all such defects prior to distribution of our products. In addition, although we require our suppliers to maintain appropriate levels of insurance coverage, there is no assurance that if a defect in a vendor supplied part were to occur that the vendor would have the ability to financially rectify the defect. Failure to detect defects in our products, including vendor supplied parts, could result in lost revenue, significant warranty expense and other related direct and indirect costs.

Our business is subject to numerous international, federal, state and local regulations.

We are subject to numerous federal, state and local regulations governing the manufacture and sale of our products, including the provisions of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (“NTMVSA”) and the safety standards for vehicles and components which have been promulgated under the NTMVSA by the Department of Transportation. The NTMVSA authorizes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require a manufacturer to recall and repair vehicles which contain certain hazards or defects. Sales into foreign countries may be subject to similar regulations. Any recalls of our vehicles, voluntary or involuntary, could have a material adverse effect on our Company.

We are also subject to federal and numerous state consumer protection and unfair trade practice laws and regulations relating to the sale, transportation and marketing of motor vehicles, including so-called “lemon laws”. Federal, state and foreign laws and regulations also impose upon vehicle operators various restrictions on the weight, length and width of motor vehicles that may be operated in certain jurisdictions or on certain roadways. Certain jurisdictions also prohibit the sale of vehicles exceeding length restrictions. Federal and state authorities also have various environmental control standards relating to air, water, noise pollution and hazardous waste generation and disposal which affect our business and operations.

Further, certain U.S. and foreign laws and regulations affect the Company’s activities. Areas of our business affected by such laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, labor, advertising, consumer protection, real estate, promotions, quality of services, intellectual property, tax, import and export, anti-corruption, anti-competition, environmental, health and safety. Compliance with these laws and others may be onerous and costly, at times, and may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction which further complicates compliance efforts.

The Company has instituted various and comprehensive policies and procedures to ensure compliance. However, there can be no assurance that employees, contractors, vendors or our agents will not violate such laws and regulations or the Company’s policies and procedures.

##### Table of Contents

As a publicly-traded company, we are subject to the regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

Failure to comply with any of the aforementioned laws or regulations could have an adverse impact on our business. Additionally, amendments to these regulations and the implementation of new regulations could increase the cost of manufacturing, purchasing, operating or selling our products and therefore could have an adverse impact on our business.

Compliance with conflict mineral disclosure requirements creates additional compliance cost and may create reputational challenges.

The SEC adopted rules pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act setting forth new disclosure requirements concerning the use or potential use of certain minerals, deemed conflict minerals (tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten), that are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. These requirements necessitate due diligence efforts by the Company to assess whether such minerals are used in our products in order to make the relevant required annual disclosures that began in May 2014. We incurred costs and diverted internal resources to comply with these new disclosure requirements, including for diligence to determine the sources of those minerals that may be used or necessary to the production of our products. Compliance costs are expected to increase in future periods. We may face reputational challenges that could impact future sales if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins for all conflict minerals used in our products.

Our risk management policies and procedures may not be fully effective in achieving their purposes.

Our policies, procedures, controls and oversight to monitor and manage our enterprise risks may not be fully effective in achieving their purpose and may leave exposure to identified or unidentified risks. Past or future misconduct by our employees or vendors could result in violations of law by us, regulatory sanctions and/or serious reputational harm or financial harm. The Company monitors its policies, procedures and controls; however, there can be no assurance that our policies, procedures and controls will be sufficient to prevent all forms of misconduct. We review our compensation policies and practices as part of our overall enterprise risk management program, but it is possible that our compensation policies could incentivize inappropriate risk taking or misconduct. If such inappropriate risks or misconduct occurs, it is possible that it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or our financial condition.

Interruption of information service or misappropriation or breach of our information systems could cause disruption and damage to our reputation.

Our business relies on information systems and other technology (“information systems”) to support our business operations, including but not limited to procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, invoicing and collection of payments. We use information systems to report and audit our operational results. Additionally, we rely upon information systems in our marketing and communication efforts. Due to our reliance on our information systems, we have established various levels of security, backup and disaster recovery procedures. Our business processes and operations may, however, be negatively impacted in the event of substantial disruption of service. Further, misuse, leakage, unauthorized access or falsification of information could result in a violation of privacy laws and damage to our reputation which could, in turn, have a negative impact on our results.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property and may be subject to infringement claims.

We rely on certain trademarks and patents, including contractual rights with third parties. We endeavor to protect our rights; however, third parties may infringe upon our intellectual property rights. We may be forced to take steps to protect our rights, including through litigation. This could result in a diversion of resources. The inability to protect our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business. We may also be subject to claims by third parties, seeking to enforce their claimed intellectual property rights.

We could incur asset impairment charges for goodwill, intangible assets or other long-lived assets.

We have a significant amount of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. At least annually, we review goodwill for impairment. Long-lived assets, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from future cash flows. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Our determination of future cash flows, future recoverability and fair value of our long-lived assets includes significant estimates and assumptions. Changes in those estimates or assumptions or lower than anticipated future financial performance may result in the identification of an impaired asset and a non-cash impairment charge, which could be material. Any such charge could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our operations are dependent upon the services of key individuals, and their loss could materially harm us.

We rely upon the knowledge, experience and skills of our employees to compete effectively in our business and manage our operations. In addition, our future success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain executive management, key employees and other qualified personnel. Upon the departure of key employees, our success may depend upon the existence of adequate succession plans. The loss of key employees or the failure to attract or retain qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on us in the event that our succession plans prove inadequate.

Planned re-configuration, relocation or expansion of certain production operations may incur unanticipated costs or delays that could adversely affect operating results.

The development and expansion of certain products and models may require the re-configuration, relocation or expansion of certain production operations. Such activities may be delayed or incur unanticipated costs which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. In addition, the start-up of operations in new facilities may incur unanticipated costs and inefficiencies which may adversely affect our profitability during the ramp up of production in those facilities.

Recent business acquisitions and internal operating segment mergers pose integration risks.

The acquisitions of the assets and operations of Livin’ Lite and Bison and the purchase of the stock of KZ in fiscal 2014, plus the merger of Dutchmen into the Keystone subsidiary, pose a number of potential integration risks that may result in us experiencing negative consequences to our business, financial condition or results of operations. The transaction activity, the integration of the recently acquired assets, operations and companies and the merger of subsidiaries within Thor involve a number of related risks, including, but not limited to:

| — |  | Demands on management related to various integration activities;

| — |  | The diversion of management’s attention from the management of daily operations to the integration of operations;

| — |  | The assimilation and retention of employees;

| — |  | The ability of the management teams at these entities to meet operational and financial expectations;

| — |  | The integration of departments and systems, including accounting systems, technologies, books and records and procedures; and

| — |  | The establishment or maintenance of uniform standards and controls, including internal accounting controls, procedures and policies.

Exchange rate fluctuations may have an indirect effect on our sales.

Although our sales to dealers are made in U.S. dollars, we generate considerable sales in Canada. Should the U.S. dollar strengthen relative to the Canadian dollar, sales may be negatively impacted.

Risks Relating To Our Company

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may make it difficult for a third party to acquire our Company and could depress the price of our common stock.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains certain supermajority voting provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our Company. These provisions could also make it more difficult for shareholders to elect directors, amend our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and take other corporate actions.

We are also subject to certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law that could delay, deter or prevent us from entering into an acquisition, including provisions which prohibit a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested shareholder unless specific conditions are met. The existence of these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock and may deprive investors of an opportunity to sell shares at a premium over prevailing prices.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in certain litigation arising out of its operations in the normal course of its business, most of which is based upon state “lemon laws”, warranty claims and vehicle accidents (for which the Company carries insurance above a specified self-insured retention or deductible amount). The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty. There is significant judgment required in assessing both the probability of an adverse outcome and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. In management’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims against the Company will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows, except that an adverse outcome in a significant litigation matter could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in ITEM 8 of this Report.

Our MD&A focuses on our ongoing operations. Discontinued operations are excluded from our MD&A except as indicated otherwise.

Executive Overview

We were founded in 1980 and have grown to be one of the largest manufacturers of RVs in North America. Our U.S. market share in the travel trailer and fifth wheel portion of the towable segment is approximately 38.2% for the calendar year to date period ended June 30, 2014. In the motorized segment of the RV industry, we have a U.S. market share of approximately 24.7% for the calendar year to date period ended June 30, 2014.

Our business model includes decentralized operating units and we compensate operating management primarily with cash, based upon the profitability of the business unit which they manage. Our corporate staff provides financial management, insurance, legal, human resource, risk management and internal audit functions. Senior corporate management interacts regularly with operating management to assure that corporate objectives are understood and are monitored appropriately.

Our RV products are sold to dealers who, in turn, retail those products. We generally do not finance dealers directly, but do provide repurchase agreements to the dealers’ floor plan lenders.

Our growth has been both internal and by acquisition. Our strategy has been to increase our profitability in North America in the RV industry through product innovation, service to our customers, manufacturing quality products, improving our facilities and processes and by acquisitions. We have not entered unrelated businesses and have no plans to do so in the future.

We generally rely on internally generated cash flows from continuing operations to finance our growth. Capital expenditures of $30,406 in fiscal 2014 were made primarily for land, plant and office additions and to replace machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business.

Discontinued Operations

On July 31, 2013, we entered into a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement to sell our bus business to Allied Specialty Vehicles, Inc. (“ASV”) and received $105,043 in final cash consideration from the sale. The sale closed on October 20, 2013. Thor’s bus business included Champion Bus, Inc., General Coach America, Inc., Goshen Coach, Inc., El Dorado National (California), Inc., and El Dorado National (Kansas), Inc. As a result of the sale of the bus business, the assets and liabilities of the bus business are reported as assets or liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2013 and the results of operations as income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012. Discontinued operations also reflect the results of the ambulance product line, through the date of its sale on April 30, 2013. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations:

Other Significant Events

On June 3, 2013, Thor Wakarusa, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thor, purchased a recreational vehicle production campus in Wakarusa, Indiana for $5,819. The purchase included land and production facilities, comprised of approximately one million square feet of total production space on more than 150 acres, along with certain related equipment, including more than 35 paint booths specifically designed for painting recreational vehicles. The Company uses the facilities primarily for motorized recreational vehicle production and to vertically integrate certain paint operations through one of its towable recreational vehicle subsidiaries.

On August 30, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of towable recreational vehicle manufacturer Livin’ Lite Corp., located in Wakarusa, Indiana, through a wholly-owned subsidiary for final cash consideration of $16,769, net of cash acquired. As a result of the purchase, the Company formed a new entity, Livin’ Lite. The Company purchased the assets to expand its recreational vehicle market share and complement its existing brands with Livin’ Lite’s advanced lightweight product offerings. Under our ownership, Livin’ Lite operates as an independent operation in the same manner as our existing recreational vehicle subsidiaries.

On October 31, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of towable recreational vehicle manufacturer Bison Coach, LLC, located in Milford, Indiana, for final cash consideration of $16,914. As a result of the purchase, the Company formed a new entity, Bison. The Company purchased the net assets of Bison to supplement its existing product offerings with Bison’s equestrian products with living quarters. Under our ownership, Bison operates as an independent operation in the same manner as our existing recreational vehicle subsidiaries.

On May 1, 2014, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of towable recreational vehicle manufacturer KZ for initial cash consideration paid in fiscal 2014 of $52,409, net of cash acquired, and a working capital adjustment of $2,915 paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company purchased KZ to expand its towable recreational vehicle market share and supplement its existing towable RV product offerings and dealer base. Under our ownership, KZ operates as an independent operation in the same manner as our existing recreational vehicle subsidiaries.

During fiscal 2012, we purchased a combined total of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and held them as treasury stock at a total cost of $77,000. Of the 3,000,000 shares, 2,000,000 were repurchased from the Estate of Wade F.B. Thompson (the “Estate”) in two separate private transactions at a total cost of $48,500. Both of these transactions were evaluated and approved by members of our board of directors who are not affiliated with the Estate. In a third separate private transaction, we repurchased 1,000,000 shares from Catterton Partners VI, L.P., Catterton Partners VI Offshore, L.P., CP6 Interest Holdings, L.L.C., and CPVI Coinvest, L.L.C. at a total cost of $28,500. We used available cash to purchase all of these shares, which collectively represented 5.4% of our issued and outstanding common stock prior to the repurchases. Each of these transactions is more fully discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Industry Outlook

The Company monitors the industry conditions in the RV market through the use of monthly wholesale shipment data as reported by the RVIA, which is typically issued on a one month lag and represents the manufacturers’ RV production and delivery to dealers. In addition, the Company also monitors monthly retail sales trends as reported by Statistical Surveys, Inc., whose data is typically issued on a month and a half lag. The Company believes that monthly RV retail sales data is important as consumer purchases impact future dealer orders and ultimately our production.

We believe our dealer inventory is at appropriate levels for seasonal consumer demand, with dealers remaining optimistic yet cautious in advance of the RV Open House in September 2014. RV dealer inventory of Thor products as of July 31, 2014 increased 11.3% to approximately 64,000 units from approximately 57,500 units as of July 31, 2013. Thor’s RV backlog as of July 31, 2014 increased 21.9% to $538,074 from $441,532 as of July 31, 2013.

Industry Wholesale Statistics – Calendar YTD

Key wholesale statistics for the RV industry, as reported by RVIA, are as follows:

|  | U.S. and Canada Wholesale Unit Shipments |
|  | Calendar Year through June 30, |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | Increase |  |  | Change |
Towables - Units |  |  | 168,737 |  |  |  | 155,446 |  |  |  | 13,291 |  |  |  | 8.6% |
Motorized - Units |  |  | 23,328 |  |  |  | 19,472 |  |  |  | 3,856 |  |  |  | 19.8% |
Total |  |  | 192,065 |  |  |  | 174,918 |  |  |  | 17,147 |  |  |  | 9.8% |

According to the RVIA, calendar year 2014 wholesale shipments for all RV categories are forecast to total 349,900 units, an 8.9% increase over calendar year 2013, with most of the 2014 unit growth expected in travel trailers and fifth wheels. Calendar year 2014 motorized unit shipments are forecasted to increase 16.7% over calendar year 2013. Travel trailers and fifth wheels are expected to account for 83% of all RV shipments in 2014. The outlook for calendar 2014 growth in RV sales is based on rising consumer confidence, rising home and stock values, improved credit availability and continued slow gains in job and income prospects. RVIA has also forecasted that 2015 calendar year shipments will total 361,700 units, a 3.4% increase from the expected 2014 wholesale shipments.

Industry Retail Statistics – Calendar YTD

We believe that retail demand is the key to continued improvement in the RV industry. With appropriate levels of dealer inventory currently, we believe that RV industry wholesale shipments will generally be on a one-to-one replenishment ratio with retail sales going forward.

Company Wholesale Statistics – Fiscal Year

For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s wholesale RV shipments were as follows:

|  | U.S. and Canada Wholesale Unit Shipments |
|  | Fiscal Year Ended July 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | Increase |  |  | Change |
Towables - Units |  |  | 100,685 |  |  |  | 99,202 |  |  |  | 1,483 |  |  |  | 1.5% |
Motorized - Units |  |  | 10,219 |  |  |  | 7,420 |  |  |  | 2,799 |  |  |  | 37.7% |
Total |  |  | 110,904 |  |  |  | 106,622 |  |  |  | 4,282 |  |  |  | 4.0% |

Our outlook for future growth in retail sales is dependent upon various economic conditions faced by consumers such as the rate of unemployment, the level of consumer confidence, the growth in disposable income, changes in interest rates, credit availability, the pace of recovery in the housing market, the impact of rising taxes and fuel prices. With continued improvement in consumer confidence, availability of retail and wholesale credit, low interest rates and the absence of negative economic factors, we would expect to see incremental improvements in RV sales and expect to benefit from our ability to increase production to meet increasing demand.

##### Table of Contents

In recent years, the industry has benefited from growing retail sales to younger consumers with new product offerings targeted to younger, more active families. In addition, a positive longer-term outlook for the RV segment is supported by favorable demographics as more people reach the age brackets that historically have accounted for the bulk of retail RV sales. The number of consumers between the ages of 55 and 74 will total 78 million by 2025, 24% higher than in 2012 according to the RVIA.

Economic or industry-wide factors affecting our RV business include the costs of commodities used in the manufacture of our products. Material cost is the primary factor determining our cost of products sold, and any future increases in raw material costs would negatively impact our profit margins if we were unable to raise prices for our products by corresponding amounts. Historically, we have been able to pass along those cost increases to customers.

To date, we have not experienced any unusual cost increases from our chassis suppliers. The recreational vehicle industry has, from time to time, experienced shortages of chassis due to various causes such as component shortages, production delays or work stoppages at the chassis manufacturers which has impacted our sales and earnings. We believe that the current supply of chassis used in our motorized RV production is adequate for current production levels, and that available inventory would compensate for short-term changes in supply schedules if they occur.

CONSOLIDATED

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014 increased $283,661, or 8.8%, compared to fiscal 2013. Consolidated gross profit for fiscal 2014 increased $45,857, or 10.8%, compared to fiscal 2013. Consolidated gross profit was 13.3% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014 compared to 13.1% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2014 increased 7.2% compared to fiscal 2013. Income before income taxes for fiscal 2014 was $252,819 as compared to $221,972 in fiscal 2013, an increase of 13.9%. The specifics on the changes in net sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and income before income taxes are addressed in the segment reporting below.

Corporate costs in selling, general and administrative expenses were $28,387 for fiscal 2014 compared to $31,711 for fiscal 2013. The decrease of $3,324 is primarily attributable to a decrease of $3,082 in the portion of the actuarially determined workers’ compensation liability reserve recorded at Corporate. In addition, legal and professional fees decreased $1,911. Costs related to our Corporate repurchase reserve required for vehicle repurchase commitments also decreased $730, as repurchase activity has been lower compared to the prior year. The expenses for fiscal 2013 also included a total of $1,106 in one-time employee compensation and stock-based separation costs. These decreases from 2013 were partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation of $2,398 and an increase of $939 in bonuses and other compensation costs in 2014 in correlation with the increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes.

Corporate interest income and other income and expense was $2,806 of income in fiscal 2014 compared to $4,052 of income for fiscal 2013. The $1,246 decrease in income is primarily due to a decrease in overall interest income of $1,079, primarily due to reduced interest income on our notes receivable due to lower note balances.

The overall annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2014 was 30.6% on $252,819 of income before income taxes, compared to 31.7% on $221,972 of income before income taxes for fiscal 2013. The primary reason for the decrease in the overall effective income tax rate was the larger amount of uncertain tax benefits that settled favorably in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013, partially offset by a tax benefit in fiscal 2013 from the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and development credit and other credits that were enacted on January 2, 2013.

The changes in costs and price within our business due to inflation were not significantly different from inflation in the United States economy as a whole. Levels of capital investment, pricing and inventory investment in our business were not materially affected by changes caused by inflation.

The increase in total towable net sales of 2.7% compared to the prior fiscal year resulted from a 1.5% increase in unit shipments and a 1.2% overall increase in the impact of the change in the overall net price per unit and product mix.

The overall industry increase in travel trailer and fifth wheel wholesale unit shipments for the twelve month period ended July 31, 2014 was 9.1% compared to the same period last year according to statistics published by RVIA.

The increases in the overall net price per unit within the travel trailer product lines of 2.9% and within the fifth wheel product lines of 1.8% are primarily due to changes in product mix and net price increases. The “other” category formerly related solely to park model sales but now also includes truck and folding campers and other specialty towable recreational vehicles due to the additions of Livin’ Lite and Bison, which carry a significantly lower selling price than park models and now comprise the majority of the unit sales in this category.

Cost of products sold increased $47,485 to $2,346,462, or 86.2% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2014 compared to $2,298,977, or 86.7% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2013. The change in material, labor, freight-out and warranty comprised $36,112 of the $47,485 increase in cost of products sold and was due to increased sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty as a combined percentage of towable net sales decreased to 80.4% in fiscal 2014 from 81.2% in fiscal 2013. This 0.8% decrease as a percentage of towable net sales is primarily due to the favorable impact of net price increases in fiscal 2014, partially offset by increased labor costs associated with the current competitive labor market. Total manufacturing overhead increased $11,373 to $158,038 in fiscal 2014 compared to $146,665 in fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of the increase in sales volume.

Variable costs in manufacturing overhead increased $10,189 to $146,440 or 5.4% of towable net sales for fiscal 2014 compared to $136,251 or 5.1% of towable net sales for fiscal 2013. This increase as a percentage of towable net sales is due to increased indirect labor costs resulting from facility expansions and the competitive labor market, as well as additional utility and building maintenance costs due to the unusually severe and protracted winter in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013. Fixed costs in manufacturing overhead, which consists primarily of facility costs, property taxes and depreciation, increased $1,184 to $11,598 in fiscal 2014 from $10,414 in fiscal 2013 primarily due to facility expansions.

Towable gross profit increased $23,887 to $375,163, or 13.8% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2014 compared to $351,276, or 13.3% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2013. The increase in gross profit and gross profit percentage was due primarily to the 2.7% increase in towable net sales and net price increases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $142,346, or 5.2% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2014 compared to $133,585, or 5.0% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2013. The primary reason for the $8,761 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was increased towable net sales and towable income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, bonuses and other compensation to increase by $7,433. Sales related travel, advertising and promotion costs also increased $1,218 in correlation with the increase in sales. Legal and professional fees and related settlement costs increased $1,182 in total. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $613 in vehicle repurchase costs.

Towable income before income taxes increased to 8.1% of towable net sales for fiscal 2014 from 7.8% of towable net sales for fiscal 2013. The primary factor for this increase in percentage was the impact of the 2.7% increase in towable net sales as well as changes in product mix and net price increases noted above.

##### Table of Contents

The overall market increase in unit shipments of motorhomes was 25.2% for the twelve month period ended July 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year according to statistics published by RVIA.

The decrease in the overall net price per unit within the Class A product line of 11.0% is primarily due to a shift in the concentration of sales from the generally larger and more expensive diesel units to the more moderately priced gas units compared to a year ago. Increasing sales of a new line of innovative product offerings of smaller, more moderately priced units that still offer many of the same amenities as larger models also contributed to the decrease. The increase in the overall net price per unit within the Class C product line of 10.6% is primarily due to changes in product mix and net price increases. Within the Class B product line, the increase in the overall net price per unit of 10.3% is primarily due to a greater concentration of sales of higher priced models in the current year.

Cost of products sold increased $190,319 to $708,598, or 88.2% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2014 compared to $518,279, or 87.6% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2013. The change in material, labor, freight-out and warranty comprised $178,200 of the $190,319 increase in cost of products sold and was due to increased sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty as a combined percentage of motorized net sales was 83.7% for both fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. This percentage remained the same as the favorable impact of product mix changes and selective net price increases in fiscal 2014 was offset by increased labor costs due to the current competitive labor market and labor start-up costs related to facility and production line expansions necessitated by increasing sales and backlog. Total manufacturing overhead costs increased $12,119 to $35,487 in fiscal 2014 compared to $23,368 in fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of the increase in sales volume.

Variable costs in manufacturing overhead increased $10,837 to $32,545, or 4.0% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2014 compared to $21,708, or 3.7% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2013. This increase as a percentage of motorized net sales is due to increased indirect labor and employee benefit costs resulting from increased production and the competitive labor market, as well as additional utility and building maintenance costs due to the unusually severe and protracted winter weather in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. Fixed costs in manufacturing overhead, which consists primarily of facility costs, property taxes and depreciation, increased $1,282 to $2,942 in fiscal 2014 from $1,660 in fiscal 2013, reflecting additional costs due to facility expansions.

Motorized gross profit increased $21,970 to $95,233, or 11.8% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2014 compared to $73,263, or 12.4% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2013. The increase in the gross profit amount is attributable to the 35.9% increase in net sales, while the decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily due to the increased indirect labor and facility related costs discussed in the cost of products section above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $37,979, or 4.7% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2014 compared to $29,354, or 5.0% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2013. The primary reason for the $8,625 increase was increased motorized net sales and motorized income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, bonuses and other compensation to increase by $6,925. Sales related travel, advertising and promotion costs also increased $990 in correlation with the increase in sales.

Motorized income before income taxes was 7.1% of motorized net sales for fiscal 2014 and 7.4% of motorized net sales for fiscal 2013. This decrease in percentage is primarily attributable to the decrease in gross profit percentage noted above.

CONSOLIDATED

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013 increased $601,997, or 22.8%, compared to fiscal 2012. Consolidated gross profit for fiscal 2013 increased $105,009, or 32.9%, compared to fiscal 2012. Consolidated gross profit was 13.1% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013 compared to 12.1% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2013 increased 31.3% compared to fiscal 2012. Income before income taxes for fiscal 2013 was $221,972 as compared to $165,388 in fiscal 2012, an increase of 34.2%. The specifics on the changes in net sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and income before income taxes are addressed in the segment reporting below.

Corporate costs in selling, general and administrative expenses were $31,711 for fiscal 2013 compared to $16,164 for fiscal 2012. The increase of $15,547 is primarily attributable to increased compensation related costs of $7,671, which included an increase of $4,177 in bonus expenses due to increased consolidated income before income taxes and certain management changes. Other compensation and stock-based compensation also increased $1,573 and $1,921 respectively, which included one-time separation costs of $850 and $256, respectively.

Corporate product liability insurance costs also increased $3,232, largely due to favorable adjustments in the prior year to the Company’s actuarially determined product liability reserve resulting from favorable historical claims experience and allocations of $750 to the towable segment and $1,500 to the discontinued bus business for claims activity previously reserved at Corporate. Employee related workers compensation and group health insurance costs also increased $2,622. In addition, costs related to the Corporate repurchase reserve required for vehicle repurchase commitments increased $850 primarily due to increased standby repurchase obligations in correlation with increased sales and dealer inventory levels.

Corporate interest income and other income and expense was $4,052 of income in fiscal 2013 compared to $4,110 of income for fiscal 2012. The $58 decrease in income is primarily due to a decrease in overall interest income of $1,070, primarily due to reduced interest income on our notes receivable due to lower note balances. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1,012 in other income, principally due to market value appreciation on the Company’s deferred compensation plan assets of $1,355 in fiscal 2013 as compared with $311 in fiscal 2012, a favorable increase of $1,044.

The overall annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 was 31.7% on $221,972 of income before income taxes, compared to 32.6% on $165,388 of income before income taxes for fiscal 2012. The primary reason for the decrease in the overall effective income tax rate was the larger amount of uncertain tax benefits that settled favorably in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The Company also recorded a tax benefit in fiscal 2013 from the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and development credit and other credits that were enacted on January 2, 2013.

The changes in costs and price within our business due to inflation were not significantly different from inflation in the United States economy as a whole. Levels of capital investment, pricing and inventory investment in our business were not materially affected by changes caused by inflation.

The increase in total towables net sales of 15.9% compared to the prior year period resulted from a 12.9% increase in unit shipments and a 3.0% increase in the impact of the change in the overall net price per unit.

The increase in the overall net price per unit within the travel trailer product lines of 3.0% is primarily due to selective net price increases and changes in product mix. The increase in the overall net price per unit within the fifth wheel product lines of 6.7% is due to customer preference toward units with additional features and upgrades compared to a year ago. Average fifth wheel selling prices have also increased due to the higher concentration of sales of luxury product lines and certain upscale toy hauler lines compared to the prior year. Selective net price increases were also implemented since the comparable prior year period. The “other” category relates to sales in the park model industry.

The overall industry increase in travel trailer and fifth wheel wholesale unit shipments for the twelve month period ended July 31, 2013 was 13.9% compared to the same period last year according to statistics published by RVIA.

Cost of products sold increased $296,153 to $2,298,977, or 86.7% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2013 compared to $2,002,824, or 87.6% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2012. The change in material, labor, freight-out and warranty comprised $279,878 of the $296,153 increase in cost of products sold and was due to increased sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty as a combined percentage of towable net sales decreased to 81.2% in fiscal 2013 from 81.9% in fiscal 2012. This 0.7% decrease as a percentage of towable net sales is primarily due to the favorable impact of selective net price increases in fiscal 2013. Total manufacturing overhead increased $16,275 to $146,665 in fiscal 2013 compared to $130,390 in fiscal 2012 as a result of the increase in sales volume.

Variable costs in manufacturing overhead increased $16,147 to $136,251 or 5.1% of towable net sales for fiscal 2013 compared to $120,104 or 5.3% of towable net sales for fiscal 2012 due to increased production. Fixed costs in manufacturing overhead, which consists primarily of facility costs, property taxes and depreciation, increased $128 to $10,414 in fiscal 2013 from $10,286 in fiscal 2012.

Towable gross profit increased $68,237 to $351,276, or 13.3% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2013 compared to $283,039, or 12.4% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2012. The increase in gross profit and gross profit percentage was due primarily to the 15.9% increase in net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $133,585, or 5.0% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2013 compared to $114,080, or 5.0% of towable net sales, for fiscal 2012. The primary reason for the $19,505 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was increased towable net sales and towable income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, bonuses and other compensation to increase by $15,202. Sales related travel, advertising and promotion costs also increased $1,081 in correlation with the increase in sales. Legal and professional fees and related settlement costs increased $1,657 in total.

Towable income before income taxes increased to 7.8% of towable net sales for fiscal 2013 from 7.0% of towable net sales for fiscal 2012. The primary factor for this increase in percentage was the impact of the 15.9% increase in net sales as noted above.

The increase in total motorized net sales of 67.1% compared to the prior year period resulted from a 57.2% increase in unit shipments and a 9.9% overall increase in the impact of the change in the net price per unit resulting primarily from mix of product.

The overall market increase in unit shipments of motorhomes was 36.2% for the twelve month period ended July 31, 2013 compared to the same period last year according to statistics published by RVIA.

The increase in the overall net price per unit within the Class A product line of 14.4% is primarily due to increased sales of the generally larger and more expensive diesel units rather than the more moderately priced gas units compared to a year ago. The increase in the overall net price per unit within the Class C product line of 7.6% is primarily due to changes in product mix. Within the Class B product line, the increase in the overall net price per unit of 8.9% is due to a greater concentration of sales of higher priced models in the current year.

Cost of products sold increased $200,835 to $518,279, or 87.6% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2013 compared to $317,444, or 89.7% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2012. The change in material, labor, freight-out and warranty comprised $196,366 of the $200,835 increase in cost of products sold and was due to increased sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty as a combined percentage of motorized net sales decreased to 83.7% in fiscal 2013 from 84.4% in fiscal 2012. This decrease in percentage is primarily due to a decrease in the material cost percentage to net sales. Total manufacturing overhead costs increased $4,469 to $23,368 in fiscal 2013 compared to $18,899 in fiscal 2012 as a result of the increase in sales volume. Variable costs in manufacturing overhead increased $4,751 to $21,708, or 3.7% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2013 compared to $16,957, or 4.8% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2012. Fixed costs in manufacturing overhead, which consists primarily of facility costs, property taxes and depreciation, decreased $282 to $1,660 in fiscal 2013 from $1,942 in fiscal 2012, reflecting property tax reductions in fiscal 2013.

Motorized gross profit increased $36,772 to $73,263, or 12.4% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2013 compared to $36,491, or 10.3% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2012. The increases in gross profit and gross profit percentage were due primarily to the impact of the 67.1% increase in net sales as noted above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $29,354, or 5.0% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2013 compared to $18,016, or 5.1% of motorized net sales, for fiscal 2012. The primary reason for the $11,338 increase was increased motorized net sales and motorized income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, bonuses and other compensation to increase by $9,915. Product liability and settlement related costs increased $687, and sales related travel, advertising and promotion costs increased $707 in correlation with the increase in sales.

Motorized income before income taxes was 7.4% of motorized net sales for fiscal 2013 and 5.2% of motorized net sales for fiscal 2012. This increase in percentage is primarily attributable to the favorable impact of the 67.1% increase in net sales noted above.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

As of July 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $289,336 compared to $236,601 on July 31, 2013. The components of the $52,735 increase in fiscal 2014 are described in more detail below, but the increase is primarily due to $149,261 of cash provided by operations and $105,043 in proceeds from the sale of the bus business, while $86,092 was used for towable recreational vehicle business acquisitions, $30,406 was used for capital expenditures and $102,314 was used for the payment of cash dividends to our stockholders, which included regular quarterly dividends totaling $49,024 and a special dividend of $53,290.

Working capital at July 31, 2014 was $473,334 compared to $469,032 at July 31, 2013. Capital expenditures of $30,406 (includes $63 for discontinued operations) for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 were made primarily to purchase land and buildings to expand our RV operations and replace machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business.

We believe our on hand cash and cash equivalents, and funds generated from continuing operations, will be sufficient to fund expected future operational requirements. We have relied on internally generated cash flows from operations to finance substantially all our growth. We may, however, consider debt to make an acquisition.

Our three main priorities for the use of current and future available cash include growing our core RV business, both organically and through acquisitions, maintaining and growing our regular dividends over time, and strategic share repurchases or special dividends as determined by the Company’s Board.

In regard to growing our business, we anticipate capital expenditures in fiscal 2015 of approximately $35,000, primarily for expanding our recreational vehicle facilities and replacing and upgrading machinery, equipment and other assets to be used in the ordinary course of business.

Relative to regular dividends, the Company’s Board currently intends to continue quarterly cash dividend payments in the future. The declaration of future dividends and the establishment of the per share amounts, record dates and payment dates for any such future dividends are subject to the determination of the Board, and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows and other factors. There are no limitations on the Company’s ability to pay dividends pursuant to any credit facility.

Future purchases of the Company’s common stock or special cash dividends may occur as determined by the Board based upon market and business conditions and excess cash availability, subject to applicable legal limitations.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2014 was $149,261 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $145,066 for fiscal 2013. The combination of net income and non-cash items (primarily depreciation, amortization, impairments, stock-based compensation, gain on disposal of bus business and deferred income taxes) provided $199,624 of operating cash in fiscal 2014 compared to $184,239 in fiscal 2013. The $199,624 of operating cash provided in fiscal 2014 was offset to a greater extent by increased working capital needs due to the growth in our sales, backlog and production levels.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for fiscal 2014 was $2,928, primarily due to $105,043 in cash consideration received from the sale of the bus business, $8,699 in proceeds from the disposition of property, plant and equipment and $6,425 in proceeds received on notes receivable, mostly offset by $16,769, $16,914 and $52,409 of net cash consideration paid for the towable recreational vehicle acquisitions of the assets of Livin’ Lite and Bison and the stock of KZ, respectively, and capital expenditures of $30,406. The capital expenditures of $30,406 included approximately $24,700 for land, building and office additions and software system enhancements, with the remainder primarily to replace machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business.

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2013 was $13,996, primarily for capital expenditures of $24,305 and $10,718 for the acquisitions of the Krystal and Federal Coach bus businesses, partially offset by proceeds from notes receivable of $7,000 and $12,051 in net proceeds from the disposition of the ambulance product line. The capital expenditures of $24,305 included approximately $18,700 for land, building and office additions and improvements at continuing operations with the remainder primarily to replace machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $99,454 for fiscal 2014 was primarily for cash dividend payments. The Company paid a regular quarterly $0.23 per share dividend in each of the four quarters of fiscal 2014 and a special $1.00 per share dividend in November 2013, the combination of which totaled $102,314. The Company increased its previous regular quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share to $0.23 per share in October 2013. In October 2012, the Company increased its previous regular quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share to $0.18 per share.

Net cash used in financing activities of $113,111 for fiscal 2013 was primarily for cash dividend payments of $117,687.

The Company considered the special $1.00 per share dividend in fiscal 2014 and the special $1.50 per share dividend in fiscal 2013 to be prudent uses of its cash and does not believe future liquidity will be negatively impacted.

Critical Accounting Principles

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. We believe that of our accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment, estimates and complexity.

Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. We utilize a two-step quantitative assessment to test for impairment. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the process involves a comparison of the implied fair value and carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

We review our long-lived assets (individually or in a related group as appropriate) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable from future cash flows attributable to the assets. Additionally, we review our goodwill for impairment at least annually on April 30 of each year. Accordingly, we continually assess whether events or changes in circumstances represent a ‘triggering’ event that would require us to complete an impairment assessment. Factors that we consider in determining whether a triggering event has occurred include, among other things, whether there has been a significant adverse change in legal factors, business climate or competition related to the operation of the asset, whether there has been a significant decrease in actual or expected operating results related to the asset and whether there are current plans to sell or dispose of the asset. The determination of whether a triggering event has occurred is subject to significant management judgment, including at which point or fiscal quarter a triggering event has occurred when the relevant adverse factors persist over extended periods.

31

##### Table of Contents

Should a triggering event be deemed to occur, and for each of the annual, quantitative goodwill impairment assessments, management is required to estimate the expected net cash flows to be realized over the life of the asset and/or the asset’s fair value. Fair values are often determined by a discounted cash flow model, although we also use a market approach in determining fair values when appropriate. These estimates are also subject to significant management judgment including the determination of many factors such as sales growth rates, gross margin patterns, cost growth rates, terminal value assumptions, discount rates and comparable companies. Changes in these estimates can have a significant impact on the determination of cash flows and fair value and could potentially result in future material impairments. Management engages an independent valuation firm in many cases to assist in its impairment assessments.

See Note 3 and Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of certain goodwill, intangible and long-lived asset impairment charges.

As of July 31, 2014, the Company has six continuing individual reporting units that carry goodwill. One reporting unit carries 48% of our consolidated goodwill of $256,579 and a second reporting unit carries another 37% of our consolidated goodwill. For these two reporting units, our estimate of their fair values exceeded their respective carrying values by 289% and 88%, respectively, as of our April 30, 2014 assessment.

Insurance Reserves

Generally, we are self-insured for workers’ compensation, products liability and group medical insurance. Under these plans, liabilities are recognized for claims incurred, including an estimate for those incurred but not reported. The liability for workers’ compensation claims is determined by the Company with the assistance of a third party administrator and actuary using various state statutes and historical claims experience. Group medical reserves are estimated using historical claims experience. We have a self-insured retention (“SIR”) for products liability and personal injury matters ranging from $1,000 to $7,500 depending on the product type and when the occurrence took place. Generally, any occurrence (as defined by our insurance policies) after March 31, 2014 is subject to the $1,000 SIR. We have established a liability on our balance sheet for such occurrences based on historical data, known cases and actuarial information. Amounts above the SIR, up to a certain dollar amount, are covered by our excess insurance policy. Currently, we maintain excess liability insurance aggregating $50,000 with outside insurance carriers to minimize our risks related to catastrophic claims in excess of our self-insured positions for products liability and personal injury matters. Any material change in the aforementioned factors could have an adverse impact on our operating results.

Product Warranty

We generally provide retail customers of our products with a one-year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, with longer warranties on certain structural components. We record a liability based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors we use in estimating the warranty liability include a history of units sold, existing dealer inventory, average cost incurred and a profile of the distribution of warranty expenditures over the warranty period. A significant increase in dealer shop 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 additional claims or costs materialize. Management believes that the warranty liability is adequate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserves. Warranty liabilities are reviewed and adjusted as necessary on at least a quarterly basis.

Income Taxes

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these tax consequences could materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as we have to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, voluntary settlements and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets, if any. Valuation allowances must be considered due to the uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets. Companies must assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets on a tax jurisdictional basis based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a more likely than not standard. We have evaluated the realizability of our deferred tax assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets which includes the assessment of the cumulative income over recent prior periods.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from the sale of recreational vehicles are recorded primarily when all of the following conditions have been met:

1) An order for a product has been received from a dealer;

2) Written or oral approval for payment has been received from the dealer’s flooring institution, if applicable;

3) A common carrier signs the delivery ticket accepting responsibility for the product as agent for the dealer; and

4) The product is removed from our property for delivery to the dealer who placed the order.

These conditions are generally met when title passes, which is when vehicles are shipped to dealers in accordance with shipping terms, which are primarily FOB shipping point. Most sales are made to dealers financing their purchases under flooring arrangements with banks or finance companies. Certain shipments are sold to customers on credit or cash on delivery (“COD”) terms. We recognize revenue on credit sales upon shipment and COD sales upon payment and delivery.

Products are not sold on consignment, dealers do not have the right to return products and dealers are typically responsible for interest costs to floor plan lenders.

Repurchase Commitments

We are contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for certain dealers of certain of our products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to dealers in the event of default by the dealer. In addition to the guarantee under these repurchase agreements, we may also be required to repurchase inventory relative to dealer terminations in certain states in accordance with state laws or regulatory requirements. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product and pre-defined curtailment arrangements and we typically resell the repurchased product at a discount from its repurchase price. We account for the guarantee under our repurchase agreements of our dealers’ financing by estimating and deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the repurchase obligation. The estimated fair value takes into account our estimate of the loss we will incur upon resale of any repurchases. This estimate is based on recent historical experience supplemented by management’s assessment of current economic and other conditions affecting our dealers. This deferred amount is included in our repurchase and guarantee reserve.

Our risk of loss under these repurchase agreements is reduced because (a) we sell our products to a large number of dealers under these arrangements, (b) the repurchase price we are obligated to pay declines over the period of the agreements (generally up to eighteen months) while the value of the related product may not decline ratably and (c) we have historically been able to readily resell any repurchased product. We believe that any future losses under these agreements will not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Principal Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Our principal contractual obligations and commercial commitments at July 31, 2014 are summarized in the following charts. We have no other material off balance sheet commitments:

|  | Payments Due By Period |
Contractual Obligations |  | Total |  |  | Fiscal 2015 |  |  | Fiscal 2016-2017 |  |  | Fiscal 2018-2019 |  |  | After 5 Years |
Operating leases |  | $ | 2,406 |  |  | $ | 982 |  |  | $ | 1,171 |  |  | $ | 253 |  |  | $ | – |

(1) We have included in unrecognized income tax benefits $1,667 for payments expected to be made in fiscal 2015. Unrecognized income tax benefits in the amount of $23,689 have been excluded from the table because we are unable to determine a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of future payment.

(1) | The standby repurchase obligations generally extend up to eighteen months from the date of sales of the related product to the dealer. In estimating the expiration of the standby repurchase obligations, we used inventory reports as of July 31, 2014 from our dealers’ primary lending institutions and made an assumption for obligations for inventory aged 0-12 months that it was financed evenly over the twelve month period.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITE M 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Part A – Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and the Company’s management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company has carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Part B – Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and members of our Board of Directors and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are also subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2014 using the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, management believes that as of July 31, 2014, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. As permitted by SEC guidance, management excluded from its assessment the operations of KZ, which was acquired on May 1, 2014 and which accounted for approximately 5% of consolidated total assets and 2% of consolidated net sales as of and for the year ended July 31, 2014.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. The report appears in Part D of this Item 9A.

Part C – Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part D – Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Thor Industries, Inc.

Elkhart, Indiana

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Thor Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at KZ, which was acquired on May 1, 2014 and whose financial statements constitute approximately 5% of consolidated total assets and 2% of consolidated net sales as of and for the year ended July 31, 2014. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at KZ.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended July 31, 2014 and our report dated September 25, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Thor Industries, Inc.

Elkhart, Indiana

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Thor Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Thor Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries at July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 25, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the Years Ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012

(All dollar amounts presented in thousands except per share data)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations – Thor Industries, Inc. was founded in 1980 and, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), manufactures a wide range of recreational vehicles at various manufacturing facilities primarily in Indiana and Ohio. These products are sold to independent dealers primarily throughout the United States and Canada. Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, all references to “Thor”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Thor Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The Company’s core ongoing business activities are comprised of two distinct operations, which include the design, manufacture and sale of motorized recreational vehicles and towable recreational vehicles. Accordingly, the Company has presented segmented financial information for these two segments in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s bus operations which were sold as of October 20, 2013. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements (including footnote disclosures unless otherwise indicated) reflect these operations as discontinued operations apart from the Company’s continuing recreational vehicle operations.

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Thor Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Key estimates include reserves for inventory, incurred but not reported medical claims, warranty claims, recalls, workers’ compensation claims, vehicle repurchases, uncertain tax positions, product and non-product litigation and assumptions made in asset impairment assessments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company believes that such estimates are made using consistent and appropriate methods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Interest-bearing deposits and other investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. At July 31, 2014 and 2013, cash and cash equivalents of $279,511 and $217,965, respectively, were held by one financial institution. The remaining $9,825 and $18,636 at July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were held at various other financial institutions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying amount of cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these financial instruments.

Inventories – Substantially all inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. Manufacturing costs include materials, labor, freight-in and manufacturing overhead. Unallocated overhead and abnormal costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation – Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings and improvements – 10 to 39 years

Machinery and equipment – 3 to 10 years

Depreciation expense is recorded in cost of products sold except for $2,542, $2,783 and $2,713 in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which relates primarily to office buildings and office equipment and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets consist of goodwill, trademarks, dealer networks, design technology assets and non-compete agreements. Trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 to 25 years. Dealer networks are amortized on an accelerated basis up to 12 years, and design technology assets and non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over 2 to 15 years. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on an annual basis at April 30, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment.

Long-lived Assets – Property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangibles that are amortized are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from future cash flows. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Product Warranties – Estimated warranty costs are provided at the time of sale of the related products. Warranty reserves are reviewed and adjusted as necessary on at least a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable, as determined from a review of past due balances and other specific account information.

A summary of allowance for doubtful accounts activity is as follows:

|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 157 |  |  | $ | 527 |  |  | $ | 549 |
Net charged to expense |  |  | 63 |  |  |  | (47) |  |  |  | 32 |
Write-offs net of recoveries/payments |  |  | (72) |  |  |  | (130) |  |  |  | (54) |
Acquisitions |  |  | 200 |  |  |  | – |  |  |  | – |
Discontinued operations reclassification |  |  | – |  |  |  | (193) |  |  |  | – |
Ending balance |  | $ | 348 |  |  | $ | 157 |  |  | $ | 527 |

Insurance Reserves – Generally, the Company is self-insured for workers’ compensation, products liability and group medical insurance. Under these plans, liabilities are recognized for claims incurred, including those incurred but not reported. The liability for workers’ compensation claims is determined by the Company with the assistance of a third party administrator and actuary using various state statutes and historical claims experience. Group medical reserves are estimated using historical claims experience. The Company has a self-insured retention (“SIR”) for products liability and personal injury matters ranging from $1,000 to $7,500 per occurrence, depending on the product type and when the occurrence took place. Generally, any occurrence (as defined by our insurance policies) after March 31, 2014 is subject to the $1,000 SIR. The Company has established a liability on our balance sheet for product liability and personal injury occurrences based on historical data, known cases and actuarial information. Currently, the Company maintains excess liability insurance aggregating $50,000 with outside insurance carriers to minimize our risks related to catastrophic claims in excess of all our self-insured positions for products liability and personal injury matters.

Revenue Recognition – Revenues from the sale of recreational vehicles are recorded primarily when all of the following conditions have been met:

1) | An order for a product has been received from a dealer;

2) | Written or oral approval for payment has been received from the dealer’s flooring institution, if applicable;

3) | A common carrier signs the delivery ticket accepting responsibility for the product as agent for the dealer; and

4) | The product is removed from the Company’s property for delivery to the dealer who placed the order.

These conditions are generally met when title passes, which is when vehicles are shipped to dealers in accordance with shipping terms, which are primarily FOB shipping point. Most sales are made to dealers financing their purchases under flooring arrangements with banks or finance companies. Certain shipments are sold to customers on credit or cash on delivery (“COD”) terms. The Company recognizes revenue on credit sales upon shipment and COD sales upon payment and delivery. Products are not sold on consignment, dealers do not have the right to return products and dealers are typically responsible for interest costs to floor plan lenders.

At the time of revenue recognition, amounts billed to dealers for delivery of product are recognized as revenue and the corresponding delivery expense charged to costs of products sold.

Dealer Volume Rebates, Sales Incentives and Advertising Costs – Estimated costs related to dealer volume rebates and sales incentives are accrued as a reduction of revenue at the later of the time products are sold or the date the rebate or incentive is offered. Advertising costs, which consist primarily of tradeshows and are expensed as incurred, were $9,492, $8,794 and $6,989 in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements – The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for certain dealers of certain of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to dealers in the event of default by the dealer. The risk of loss from these agreements is spread over numerous dealers. In addition to the guarantee under these repurchase agreements, we may also be required to repurchase inventory relative to dealer terminations in certain states in accordance with state laws or regulatory requirements. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product and pre-defined curtailment arrangements and the Company typically resells the repurchased product at a discount from its repurchase price. The Company accounts for the guarantee under its repurchase agreements of its dealers’ financing by estimating and deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the repurchase obligation. The estimated fair value takes into account our estimate of the loss we will incur upon resale of any repurchases. This estimate is based on recent historical experience supplemented by management’s assessment of current economic and other conditions affecting our dealers. This deferred amount is included in our repurchase and guarantee reserve which is included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income Taxes – The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these tax consequences could materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the Company has to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, voluntary settlements and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets, if any. Valuation allowances must be considered due to the uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets. Companies must assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets on a tax jurisdictional basis based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a more likely than not standard. The Company has evaluated the realizability of our deferred tax assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets which includes the assessment of the cumulative income over recent prior periods.

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution. The difference between basic EPS and diluted EPS is the result of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units as follows:

|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share |  |  | 53,270,076 |  |  |  | 53,005,576 |  |  |  | 53,845,697 |
Stock options and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units |  |  | 91,614 |  |  |  | 109,972 |  |  |  | 54,151 |
Weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution |  |  | 53,361,690 |  |  |  | 53,115,548 |  |  |  | 53,899,848 |

The Company excludes stock options and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units that have an antidilutive effect from its calculation of weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution. At July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company had stock options and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units outstanding of 0, 0, and 412,000, respectively, that were excluded from this calculation as their effect would be antidilutive.

Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (ASU 2014-08) “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Under the new guidance, the disposal of a component or group of components of a business will be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. For the Company, ASU 2014-08 is effective for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components that first occur after July 31, 2015. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The impact to the Company will depend on future disposals.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This standard will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, entities are required to identify the contract with a customer; identify the separate performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and recognize the appropriate amount of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies each performance obligation. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2017, and is therefore effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2018 beginning on August 1, 2017. Entities have the option of using either retrospective transition or a modified approach in applying the new standard. The Company is currently evaluating the approach it will use to apply the new standard and the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Under the terms of the ASV SPA, the total cash consideration to be received was subject to adjustment based on changes in the carrying value of the net assets of the bus business between April 30, 2013 and October 20, 2013. The amount of the final net asset adjustment was determined through the completion of a post-close audit during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Based on the final agreed-upon carrying value of the bus business net assets sold as of October 20, 2013, an additional $5,043 was collected from ASV on February 19, 2014, representing the increase in bus net assets since April 30, 2013. As a result, final cash consideration received for the sale of the bus business totaled $105,043.

The Company has recorded a pre-tax gain of $7,079 as a result of the sale. The results of operations for the bus business, including the gain on the sale of the bus business, have been reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that certain long-lived assets associated with the Company’s ambulance product line would be sold before the end of their previously estimated useful life. This was determined to be a triggering event and an impairment assessment relative to those assets was performed. Based on the assessment, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the assets would not be recoverable from future cash flows and as a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $4,715 related to certain amortizable intangible assets was recorded.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, prior to the annual impairment assessment, the Company also performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment relative to the goodwill associated with the reporting unit that included the ambulance product line. Based on the assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of this reporting unit was less than the carrying value and therefore performed the second step of the goodwill impairment assessment, which requires estimating the fair values of the reporting unit’s net identifiable assets and calculating the implied fair value of goodwill. The fair value of this reporting unit was determined by a discounted cash flow model and market approach, consistent with its last annual impairment assessment. The implied fair value of goodwill was determined to be zero and, therefore, recorded goodwill was impaired and a non-cash impairment charge of $6,810 was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The goodwill impairment was primarily a result of lower forecasted margins and increased working capital requirements within this reporting unit.

The non-cash impairment charges for amortizable intangible assets and goodwill discussed above totaled $11,525 for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and are included in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The asset fair values utilized in the impairment assessments described above were determined using Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820.

On April 30, 2013, the Company sold the assets held and used in the conduct of its ambulance product line (excluding the plant utilized in ambulance production and certain other excluded assets) for a final price of $12,051. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale. Discontinued operations for fiscal 2013 and 2012 include the results of the ambulance product line.

The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations:

##### Table of Contents

Operating income (loss) of discontinued operations during fiscal 2014 reflects expenses incurred directly related to the former bus operations, including expenses related to liabilities retained by the Company under the ASV SPA for bus product liability and worker’s compensation claims occurring prior to the closing date of the sale.

As a result of the sale of the bus business, and in accordance with the ASV SPA, the Company is no longer the primary obligor to the taxing authorities for bus operations in certain states. As a result, the Company eliminated the reserves associated with certain uncertain tax positions resulting in a net tax benefit of $1,883 which is reflected within discontinued operations for fiscal 2014. Under the terms of the sale, the Company has agreed to indemnify ASV for any claims made by the taxing authorities after the date of sale for these uncertain tax positions but does not expect future losses under this guarantee to be material. The effective tax rate of discontinued operations for fiscal 2014 was favorably impacted primarily by tax return to provision adjustments and the settlement of certain uncertain tax benefits.

The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, excluding cash, which were held for sale as of July 31, 2013:

Accounts and other receivable, net |  | $ | 29,894 |
Inventories, net of LIFO reserve of $9,683 |  |  | 61,800 |
Property, plant and equipment, cost |  |  | 50,985 |
Accumulated depreciation, property, plant and equipment |  |  | (21,422 | )
Goodwill |  |  | 5,559 |

Deferred income taxes and other liabilities |  |  | 1,252 |
Deferred compensation plan liabilities |  |  | 3,407 |
Liabilities of discontinued operations |  | $ | 35,107 |

In accordance with the ASV SPA, the Company will retain the costs and liabilities associated with the bus business product liability and worker’s compensation claims for any occurrence prior to the closing date of the sale. Therefore, these reserves, and any related ongoing legal fees, were not included in the liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2013.

Net property, plant and equipment |  | $ | 169,862 |  |  | $ | 143,809 |

The Company sold land and buildings and improvements related to a towable RV facility located in the western United States in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The sale resulted in net cash proceeds of $7,352 and a gain on the sale of $1,888, which is included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. RV production from this facility was previously consolidated into another Company complex in the same region.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company determined it was more likely than not that certain long-lived assets, consisting of certain RV facilities, would be sold or altered before the end of their previously estimated useful life. Therefore, the Company performed impairment assessments over these facilities using Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820 to determine whether an impairment existed. As a result of these assessments, a non-cash impairment charge of $710 was recognized in the quarter ended October 31, 2013.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company determined it was more likely than not that certain RV facilities would be sold before the end of their previously estimated useful life and therefore, performed impairment assessments over these facilities using Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820 to determine whether an impairment existed. As a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $2,000 was recognized in the quarter ended July 31, 2013.

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS, GOODWILL AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The components of amortizable intangible assets are as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  | July 31, 2014 |  |  | July 31, 2013 |
|  | Weighted Average Years Remaining Life |  |  |  | Cost |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Cost |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |

Aggregate amortization expense for amortizable intangibles for all operations for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $12,984, $11,037 and $11,135, respectively, including $12,920, $10,460 and $10,651, respectively, for continuing operations. The dealer networks are primarily being amortized on an accelerated basis. Non-compete agreements, trademarks and other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis. The increase in amortizable intangible assets in fiscal 2014 is due to the acquisitions of Livin’ Lite, Bison and KZ as more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of goodwill and other intangibles asset impairment charges recognized related to discontinued operations.

For the annual goodwill impairment test at April 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, management engaged an independent valuation firm to assist in its impairment assessment reviews. The fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units for purposes of goodwill testing, based on Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820, was determined by employing a discounted cash flow methodology, and, when appropriate, a market approach. As a result of the April 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 annual impairment assessments, no impairment of goodwill was identified.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment as of July 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized as follows:

|  | Towables |  |  | Motorized |  |  | Bus |  |  | Total |

8. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

One dealer, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for 17%, 17% and 14% of the Company’s continuing consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This dealer also accounted for 21% of the Company’s continuing consolidated trade accounts receivable at July 31, 2014 and 24% at July 31, 2013. The loss of this dealer could have a significant effect on the Company’s business.

9. LOAN TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED NOTES RECEIVABLE

In January 2009, we entered into two credit agreements, for $10,000 each, with Stephen Adams, in his individual capacity, and Stephen Adams and his successors, as trustee under the Stephen Adams Living Trust (the “Trust” and, together with each of the foregoing persons, the “January 2009 Loan Borrowers”). The final principal and interest payments on the first agreement were received in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and the final principal and interest payments on the second agreement were received in fiscal 2012.

Under the terms of the second agreement, the January 2009 Loan Borrowers agreed to use the loan proceeds to make an equity contribution to FreedomRoads Holding to be used to purchase the Company’s products. As a result, principal payments received under the second agreement are classified as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In December 2009, we entered into a $10,000 credit agreement with Marcus Lemonis, Stephen Adams, in his individual capacity, and Stephen Adams and his successors, as trustee under the Trust (collectively, the “December 2009 Loan Borrowers”), and later modified in December 2012, pursuant to which $7,400 of original principal is outstanding as of July 31, 2014 with the final payment due on August 30, 2015. All related payments of principal and interest due to date have been paid in full.

The January 2009 and December 2009 Loan Borrowers own, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC, the parent company of FreedomRoads, LLC, the Company’s largest dealer.

10. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The only Company assets or liabilities carried at fair value in the financial statements are its investments in auction rate securities (“ARS”) which were liquidated in October 2013, (measured with Level 3 inputs), and other securities, primarily in mutual funds, held for the benefit of certain employees of the Company as part of a deferred compensation plan (measured with Level 1 inputs). ARS balances of $0 and $666 and deferred compensation plan asset balances of $8,973 and $7,000 (excluding $3,407 related to discontinued operations) were recorded as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as components of other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. An equal and offsetting accrued long-term liability was also recorded in regards to the deferred compensation plan as a component of other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of the plan assets and the related deferred liability are both reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 financial assets):

|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 666 |  |  | $ | 1,405 |
Net change in other comprehensive income |  |  | 34 |  |  |  | 61 |
Sales |  |  | (700) |  |  |  | (800) |
Ending balance |  | $ | – |  |  | $ | 666 |

11. PRODUCT WARRANTY

The Company generally provides retail customers of its products with a one-year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, with longer warranties on certain structural components. The Company records a liability based on its best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors used in estimating the warranty liability include a history of units sold, existing dealer inventory, average cost incurred and a profile of the distribution of warranty expenditures over the warranty period. Management believes that the warranty liabilities are adequate. However, actual claims incurred could differ from estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserves. Warranty liabilities are reviewed and adjusted as necessary on at least a quarterly basis.

As of July 31, 2014, the Company has $1,873 of state tax credit carry forwards that expire from fiscal 2022-2024 which the Company expects to realize prior to expiration. In addition, the Company has approximately $56,000 of gross state tax Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carry forwards that expire from fiscal 2015-2034 that the Company does not expect to realize and therefore has been fully reserved. The deferred tax asset of $1,301 associated with the state tax NOL carry forwards and the related equal and offsetting valuation allowance are not reflected in the table above.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits:

The benefits of tax positions reflected on income tax returns but whose outcome remains uncertain are only recognized for financial accounting purposes if they meet minimum recognition thresholds. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would have impacted the Company’s effective tax rate were $13,679 for 2014, $21,765 for 2013, and $22,454 for 2012.

Changes in the unrecognized tax benefit during fiscal year 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

##### Table of Contents

It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are not included in the schedule above. The total amount of liabilities accrued for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of July 31, 2014, July 31, 2013, and July 31, 2012 were $5,200, $11,671, and $13,265, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties expense (benefit) recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2014, July 31, 2013, and July 31, 2012 were $(3,418), $(932) and $503, respectively.

The total unrecognized tax benefits above, along with the related accrued interest and penalties, are reported within the liability section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A portion of the unrecognized tax benefits is classified as short-term and is included in the “Income and other taxes” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the remainder is classified as a long-term liability.

The components of total unrecognized tax benefits are summarized as follows:

|  | July 31, |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Unrecognized tax benefits |  |  |  | $ | 20,813 |  |  |  |  | $ | 32,733 |  |  |  |  | $ | 33,900 |

Total unrecognized tax benefits |  |  |  | $ | 25,356 |  |  |  |  | $ | 43,964 |  |  |  |  | $ | 47,165 |
Short-term, included in “Income and other taxes” |  |  |  | $ | 1,667 |  |  |  |  | $ | 2,745 |  |  |  |  | $ | 2,649 |
Long-term unrecognized tax benefits |  |  |  |  | 23,689 |  |  |  |  |  | 41,219 |  |  |  |  |  | 44,516 |
Total unrecognized tax benefits |  |  |  | $ | 25,356 |  |  |  |  | $ | 43,964 |  |  |  |  | $ | 47,165 |

The Company anticipates a decrease of approximately $2,560 in unrecognized tax benefits, $381 in interest and $4 in penalties during fiscal 2015 from expected settlements or payments of uncertain tax positions and lapses of the applicable statutes of limitations. In addition, the Company is currently in the process of pursuing a variety of settlement alternatives with taxing authorities. It is reasonably possible that some of these settlements could be finalized in the next 12 months. If these settlements are finalized within the next 12 months, the gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease between $100 and $3,100 and related accrued interest and penalties may decrease between $150 and $2,500. It is reasonably possible that some of these settlements will result in cash payments by the Company. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Generally, fiscal years 2012 and 2013 remain open for federal income tax purposes and fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 remain open for state and foreign income tax purposes. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and multiple state income tax returns. During fiscal year 2014, the Company finalized its IRS audit for fiscal year 2011 and finalized its California audit for fiscal years 2007 and 2008. There were no tax assessments related to the completion of the IRS audit and the Company paid approximately $1,900 to finalize the state of California audit. The Company is currently being audited by the state of Indiana for tax years ended July 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, the state of Illinois for tax years ended July 31, 2011 and 2012 and by the state of Oregon for tax years ended July 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its exposure to additional payments for uncertain tax positions related to its Indiana, Illinois and Oregon income tax returns in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

13. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for certain dealers of certain of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to dealers in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the financial institution. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product and pre-defined curtailment arrangements. The Company typically resells the repurchased product at a discount from its repurchase price. The risk of loss from these agreements is spread over numerous dealers. In addition to the guarantee under these repurchase agreements, the Company may also be required to repurchase inventory relative to dealer terminations in certain states in accordance with state laws or regulatory requirements. The repurchase activity related to dealer terminations in certain states has been insignificant in relation to our repurchase obligation with financial institutions.

The Company’s total commercial commitment under standby repurchase obligations on dealer inventory financing at July 31, 2014 is $1,226,650. The commitment term is primarily up to eighteen months.

The Company accounts for the guarantee under repurchase agreements of dealers’ financing by deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee at inception. The estimated fair value takes into account an estimate of the losses that may be incurred upon resale of any repurchases. This estimate is based on recent historical experience supplemented by the Company’s assessment of current economic and other conditions affecting its dealers.

This deferred amount is included in the repurchase and guarantee reserve balances of $3,948 and $3,778 as of July 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively, which are included in other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The table below reflects losses incurred under repurchase agreements for the past three fiscal years. The Company believes that any future losses under these agreements will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Cost of units repurchased |  | $ | 1,386 |  |  | $ | 6,926 |  |  | $ | 2,881 |
Realization of units resold |  |  | 1,098 |  |  |  | 6,020 |  |  |  | 2,521 |
Losses due to repurchase |  | $ | 288 |  |  | $ | 906 |  |  | $ | 360 |

Legal Matters

The Company is involved in certain litigation arising out of its operations in the normal course of its business, most of which is based upon state “lemon laws”, warranty claims and vehicle accidents (for which the Company carries insurance above a specified self-insured retention or deductible amount). The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty. There is significant judgment required in assessing both the probability of an adverse outcome and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. In management’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims against the Company will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows, except that an adverse outcome in a significant litigation matter could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period.

14. LEASES

The Company has operating leases principally for land, buildings and equipment. Future minimum rental payments required under these operating leases as of July 31, 2014 are as follows:

For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2015 |  | $ | 982 |
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2016 |  |  | 711 |
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2017 |  |  | 460 |
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2018 |  |  | 248 |
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2019 |  |  | 5 |
|  | $ | 2,406 |

Rent expense was $1,700 in fiscal 2014, $1,572 in fiscal 2013 and $1,659 in fiscal 2012.

15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Substantially all non-highly compensated employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan according to a matching formula determined by each operating subsidiary. Total expense for the plan was $387 in fiscal 2014, $316 in fiscal 2013 and $174 in fiscal 2012.

The Company has established a deferred compensation plan for executives who do not participate in a 401(k) plan. This plan allows executives to defer a portion of their compensation and to direct the Company to invest the funds in mutual fund investments held by the Company. Participant benefits are limited to the value of the investments held on their behalf. Investments held by the Company are accounted for at fair value and reported as other long-term assets, and the equal and offsetting obligation to the participants is reported as other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of the plan assets and the related deferred liability are both recorded through the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company does not make contributions to the plan. The balance of investments held in this plan, and the equal and offsetting long-term liability to the executives, was $8,973 at July 31, 2014 and $7,000 (excluding $3,407 related to discontinued operations) at July 31, 2013.

16. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

(collectively, “Catterton”), each dated as of January 18, 2012, to purchase shares of its common stock from Catterton in a private transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Catterton Repurchase Agreements, on January 20, 2012, the Company purchased from Catterton an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $28.50 per share, and held them as treasury stock, representing an aggregate purchase price of $28,500. The closing price of Thor common stock on January 18, 2012 was $29.34. The Company used available cash to purchase the shares.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Board approved the Thor Industries, Inc. 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Equity and Incentive Plan”) on October 25, 2010 and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Equity Incentive Plan”) on October 16, 2006. These plans were subsequently approved by shareholders at the 2010 and 2006 annual meetings, respectively. These plans are designed, among other things, to replace the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”) and the Company’s 1997 Restricted Stock Plan (the “1997 Plan”). Upon approval of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the 1999 Plan and the 1997 Plan were frozen. As a result, there will be no further grants pursuant to either the 1999 Plan or the 1997 Plan. However, outstanding grants under the 1999 Plan remain outstanding, subject to the respective terms and conditions of the Plan. The maximum number of shares issuable under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan is 2,000,000 and the maximum number of shares issuable under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is 1,100,000. Remaining shares available to be granted under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan are 1,556,224 and under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan are 30,000 as of July 31, 2014. Awards may be in the form of options (incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance compensation awards and stock appreciation rights. Options typically expire 10 years from the date of grant and are vested evenly over 3 to 5 years from the date of grant.
