NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(All Dollar, Euro and GBP amounts presented in thousands except share and per share data or except as otherwise specified)
1. Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Thor Industries, Inc. was founded in 1980 and is the sole owner of operating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or "Thor"), that, combined, represent the world's largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles (“RVs”). The Company manufactures a wide variety of RVs in the United States and Europe and sells those vehicles, as well as related parts and accessories, primarily to independent, non-franchise dealers throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Unless the context requires or indicates otherwise, all references to “Thor,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Thor Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The July 31, 2019 amounts are derived from the annual audited financial statements of Thor. The interim financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019. Due to seasonality within the recreational vehicle industry, among other factors, annualizing the results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2019 would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” and has subsequently issued ASU's 2018-10, "Codification Improvements (Topic 842)," and 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements (Topic 842)" (collectively the "New Leasing Standard"), which provide guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases. The New Leasing Standard requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The principal difference from prior guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases are now recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The New Leasing Standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the New Leasing Standard on August 1, 2019. The Company elected the optional transition method as well as the available package of practical expedients. As a result, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and the associated lease obligations, both totaling approximately $33 million, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 1, 2019. The adoption did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 16 for further disclosures about the Company's leases.
Other Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge (referred to as Step 2 in the goodwill impairment test). Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to that excess shall be recognized, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This ASU is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted after January 1, 2017. This ASU is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2021 beginning on August 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements, which will depend on the outcomes of future goodwill impairment tests.
2. Acquisition — Erwin Hymer Group
On February 1, 2019, the Company acquired Erwin Hymer Group SE ("EHG"). EHG is headquartered in Bad Waldsee, Germany, and is one of the largest RV manufacturers in Europe. EHG is managed as a stand-alone operating entity and is included in the European recreational vehicle segment.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company made measurement period adjustments primarily related to the estimated fair value of certain deferred tax assets to better reflect the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease in deferred tax assets and a net increase of goodwill of $3,054.
6

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the EHG assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of finalizing internal and third-party valuations of tangible and intangible assets and certain liabilities, therefore, the provisional estimates of intangible assets, fixed assets, goodwill, deferred income tax liabilities, income taxes payable and certain accrued liabilities are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize these values in the Company's fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2020.

On the acquisition date, amortizable intangible assets had a weighted-average useful life of 17 years. The dealer network was valued based on the Discounted Cash Flow method and is amortized on an accelerated basis over 20 years. The trademarks and technology assets were valued on the Relief of Royalty method and are amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years and 10 years, respectively. The backlog was valued based on the Discounted Cash Flow method and was amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-month period. We have recognized $1,011,526 of goodwill as a result of this transaction, of which approximately $242,000 will be deductible for tax purposes.
The following unaudited pro forma information represents the Company’s results of operations as if the fiscal 2019 acquisition of EHG had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2018. These performance results may not be indicative of the actual results that would have occurred under the ownership and management of the Company.

The supplemental pro forma earnings for the three-month period ended October 31, 2018 were adjusted to exclude $57,089 of acquisition-related costs as discussed below.
7

Costs incurred during the three months ended October 31, 2018 related specifically to this acquisition totaling $57,089 are included in Acquisition-related costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. These costs included the change in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contract of $42,555 discussed in Note 5 below, and $14,534 of other expenses, consisting primarily of legal, professional and advisory fees related to financial due diligence and preliminary implementation costs, rating agency fees related to obtaining financing commitments and regulatory review costs.

4. Earnings Per Common Share
The following table reflects the weighted-average common shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per common share as included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:

|  |  |  |  | Three Months Ended October 31, |  |
|  |  |  |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Weighted-average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share |  |  |  |  | 55,095,074 |  |  | 52,726,496 |
Unvested restricted stock units |  |  |  |  | 129,581 |  |  | 173,107 |
Weighted-average shares outstanding assuming dilution |  |  |  |  | 55,224,655 |  |  | 52,899,603 |

At October 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had 266,699 and 152,279 unvested restricted stock units outstanding, respectively, which were excluded from this calculation as their effect would be antidilutive.
5. Derivatives and Hedging
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward contracts and certain non-derivative financial instruments to manage its risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. The Company records derivatives as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a derivative is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.
Certain of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements that allow the Company to net settle contracts with the same counter parties. These arrangements generally do not call for collateral and as of the applicable dates presented below, no cash collateral had been received or pledged related to the underlying derivatives.
9

The fair value of our derivative instruments and the associated notional amounts, presented on a pre-tax basis, were as follows:

| October 31, 2019 |  |  |  | July 31, 2019 |  |
|  |  | Fair Value in |  |  |  | Fair Value in
|  |  | Other Current |  |  |  | Other Current
Cash Flow Hedges | Notional |  | Liabilities |  | Notional |  | Liabilities
Foreign currency forward contracts | $ | 51,799 |  |  | $ | 729 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Interest rate swap agreements | 798,200 |  |  | 16,641 |  |  | 849,550 |  |  | 12,463 |
Total derivative financial instruments | $ | 849,999 |  |  | $ | 17,370 |  |  | $ | 849,550 |  |  | $ | 12,463 |

The Company did not have any designated hedge instruments prior to February 1, 2019.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of certain foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted foreign currency transactions, including foreign currency denominated sales. These forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until the hedged items affect earnings, at which time the gain or loss is reclassified into the same line item in the determination of net income as the underlying exposure being hedged. Cash flow hedged forward contracts impacting AOCI are forecasted to occur over the next eight months.
The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage certain of its interest rate exposures. During fiscal 2019, the Company entered into pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap agreements, totaling $900,000 in initial value, in order to hedge against interest rate risk relating to the Company’s floating rate debt agreements. The $900,000 in initial value declines quarterly over the initial 4.5 year term of the swaps. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of the expected interest payments related to the Company’s LIBOR-based floating rate debt. Amounts initially recorded in AOCI will be reclassified to interest expense over the remaining life of the debt as the forecasted interest transactions occur.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company designates a portion of its outstanding Euro-denominated term loan tranche as a hedge of foreign currency exposures related to investments the Company has in certain Euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries.
The foreign currency transaction gains and losses on the Euro-denominated portion of the term loan, which is designated and effective as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in its Euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries, are included as a component of the foreign currency translation adjustment. Losses included in the foreign currency translation adjustment for the three-month period ended October 31, 2019 were $1,254, net of tax.
There were no amounts reclassified out of AOCI pertaining to the net investment hedge during the three months ended October 31, 2019.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
On September 18, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire EHG, which was later amended as of the February 1, 2019 closing date. The cash portion of the purchase price was denominated in Euro, and therefore the Company’s cash flows were exposed to changes in the Euro/USD exchange rate between the September 18, 2018 agreement date and the closing date.
To reduce its exposure, the Company entered into a deal-contingent, foreign currency forward contract on the September 18, 2018 agreement date in the amount of 1.625 billion Euro. Hedge accounting was not applied to this instrument, and therefore all changes in fair value were recorded in earnings.
10

This contract was settled in connection with the close of the EHG acquisition on February 1, 2019 in the amount of $70,777, resulting in a loss of the same amount. Of this $70,777 total loss, $42,555 was recognized in the three months ended October 31, 2018 and is included in Acquisition-related costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
The Company also has certain other derivative instruments, with a notional amount totaling approximately $34,990 and a fair value of $1,330, included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2019, which have not been designated as hedges and therefore hedge accounting is not applied. For these derivative instruments, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The Company also had certain other derivative instruments, with a notional amount totaling approximately $35,700 and a fair value of $1,226, included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2019.
The total amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income due to changes in the fair value of the following derivative instruments are as follows:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended

9. Equity Investment
As discussed in the Company's Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K, in February 2018, the Company formed a joint venture with Tourism Holdings Limited ("thl") called TH2connect, LLC ("TH2"). In July 2019, TH2 was rebranded as "Togo Group."
The Company’s investment in TH2 is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s share of the losses of this investment are included in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The losses recognized in the three-month periods ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 were $2,095 and $1,483, respectively.
In accordance with the operating agreements between the parties, both thl and the Company will fund TH2's future working capital needs proportionately, and each loaned TH2 $1,534 during the three months ended October 31, 2019. The Company had total loans outstanding with TH2 of $3,691 and $2,157 at October 31, 2019 and July 31, 2019, respectively, and those amounts are included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
10. Concentration of Risk
One dealer, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for 15% and 24% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the three-month periods ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively. Sales to this dealer are reported within both the North American towables and North American motorized segments. This dealer also accounted for 17% of the Company’s consolidated trade accounts receivable at October 31, 2019 and 19% at July 31, 2019. The loss of this dealer could have a material effect on the Company’s business.

11. Fair Value Measurements
The financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at October 31, 2019 and July 31, 2019 are as follows:

| Input Level |  | October 31, 2019 |  | July 31, 2019
Cash equivalents | Level 1 |  | $ | 90,229 |  |  | $ | 130,100 |
Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities | Level 1 |  | $ | 55,954 |  |  | $ | 53,828 |
Foreign currency forward contract liability | Level 2 |  | $ | 729 |  |  | $ | — |
Interest rate swap liability | Level 2 |  | $ | 16,641 |  |  | $ | 12,463 |

Cash equivalents represent investments in government and other money market funds traded in an active market, and are reported as a component of Cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company considers cash of 23,000 Euro ($25,654) that is pledged as collateral against certain revolving debt obligations related to its European rental fleet operations to be restricted cash. Additionally, cash of 11,700 Euro ($13,050) is restricted pending collateral modification of certain debt.
Deferred compensation plan assets represent investments in securities (primarily mutual funds) traded in an active market held for the benefit of certain employees of the Company as part of a deferred compensation plan. Deferred compensation plan asset balances are recorded as a component of Other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. An equal and offsetting liability is also recorded in regards to the deferred compensation plan as a component of Other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of the plan assets and the related liabilities are reflected in Other income (expense), net and Selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at October 31, 2019 are used to exchange Pounds Sterling ("GBP") for Euro. The total notional value of these contracts at October 31, 2019 is 40,000 GBP ($51,799), and these contracts have various maturity dates through June 2020.
The Company entered into interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from floating rate to fixed rate debt. As of October 31, 2019, the outstanding swaps had notional contract values of $798,200, partially hedging the interest rate risk related to the Company's U.S. dollar term loan tranche that matures in February 2026.
The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current available forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using observable market rates. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the applicable observable yield curves.
12. Product Warranties
As discussed in the Company's Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K, the Company generally provides retail customers of its products with a one-year or two-year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, with longer warranties on certain structural components.
Changes in our product warranty liability during the indicated periods are as follows:

|  |  |  |  | Three Months Ended October 31, |  |
|  |  |  |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Beginning balance |  |  |  |  | $ | 289,679 |  |  | $ | 264,928 |

13. Long-Term Debt
The components of long-term debt are as follows:

|  | October 31, 2019 |  | July 31, 2019

Less: current portion of long-term debt |  | (18,328) |  |  | (17,370) |
Total long-term debt, net, less current portion |  | $ | 1,780,091 |  |  | $ | 1,885,253 |

On February 1, 2019, the Company entered into a seven-year term loan (“term loan”) agreement, which consists of both a United States Dollar-denominated term loan tranche and a Euro-denominated term loan tranche, and a $750,000 revolving asset-based credit facility (“ABL”). Subject to earlier termination, the term loan matures on February 1, 2026 and the ABL matures on February 1, 2024. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K for details regarding the term loan and the asset-based facility.
As of October 31, 2019, the entire outstanding U.S. term loan tranche balance of $1,008,502 was subject to a LIBOR-based rate totaling 5.8125%, but the interest rate on $798,200 of that balance was fixed at 6.2160% through an interest rate swap by swapping the underlying 1-month LIBOR rate for a fixed rate of 2.4660%. As of July 31, 2019, the entire outstanding U.S. term loan tranche balance of $1,146,968 was subject to a LIBOR-base rate of 6.1875%, but the interest rate on $849,550 of that balance was fixed at 6.2160% through an interest rate swap by swapping the underlying 1-month LIBOR rate for a fixed rate of 2.4660%. The total interest rate on both the October 31, 2019 and July 31, 2019 outstanding Euro term loan tranche balance of $683,835 and $685,373, respectively, was 4.00%. In addition, the Company must make mandatory prepayments of principal under the term loan agreement upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain asset sales, debt issuances and receipt of annual cash flows in excess of certain amounts. No such specified events occurred during the three months ended October 31, 2019.
As of October 31, 2019, the total interest rate on the outstanding ABL borrowings of $36,808 was 1.25%. The ABL also includes a 0.25% unused facility fee. The Company may, generally at its option, pay any borrowings under the ABL, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty.
The unused availability under the ABL is generally available to the Company for general operating purposes and, based on October 31, 2019 eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances, totaled approximately $668,000.
The unsecured notes of 25,000 Euro ($27,885) relate to long-term debt assumed at the closing of the acquisition of EHG. There are two series, 20,000 Euro ($22,308) with an interest rate of 1.945% maturing in March 2025, and 5,000 Euro ($5,577) with an interest rate of 2.534% maturing February 2028. Other debt relates primarily to real estate loans with varying maturity dates through September 2032 and interest rates ranging from 1.40% - 3.43%.
15

Total contractual gross debt maturities are as follows:

For the remainder of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2020 | $ | 14,252 |
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2021 | 19,528 |
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2022 | 18,245 |
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2023 | 18,363 |
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024 | 55,252 |
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025 and thereafter | 1,722,514 |
| $ | 1,848,154 |

For the three-month period ended October 31, 2019, interest expense on the term loan, ABL and other debt facilities was $24,349. The Company incurred fees to secure the term loan and ABL and those amounts are being amortized ratably over the respective seven and five-year terms of those agreements. The Company recorded total charges related to the amortization of these term loan and ABL fees, which are included in interest expense, of $2,685 for the three-month period ended October 31, 2019. The unamortized balance of the ABL facility fees was $11,909 at October 31, 2019 and $12,609 as of July 31, 2019, and is included in Other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the three-month period ended October 31, 2018, interest expense on bank debt was $729, and included $393 of amortized debt costs on the Company's previous asset-based credit agreement.
The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding debt issuance costs, approximates fair value at October 31, 2019 as the balance is subject to variable market interest rates that the Company believes are market rates for a similarly situated Company. The fair value of the Company's debt is largely estimated using Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC 820.
14. Provision for Income Taxes
The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2019 was 24.5%. The rate was favorably impacted by certain foreign rate differences which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax. This benefit was partially offset by additional income tax expense resulting from the vesting of share-based compensation awards during the three months ended October 31, 2019. The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2018 was 55.7%. Included in this rate was the non-deductible foreign currency forward contract loss of $42,555 as discussed in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Under federal income tax law, the loss recognized for financial statement purposes was not deductible for federal income tax purposes.
Within the next 12 months, the Company anticipates a decrease of approximately $3,800 in unrecognized tax benefits, and $850 in accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of October 31, 2019, from expected settlements or payments of uncertain tax positions and lapses of the applicable statutes of limitations. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, fiscal years 2016 through 2018 remain open and could be subject to examination. In major state and major foreign jurisdictions, fiscal years 2016 through 2018 generally remain open and could be subject to examination. The Company is currently under exam by certain U.S. state tax authorities for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2015 through 2017. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its exposure to additional payments for uncertain tax positions in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
15. Contingent Liabilities, Commitments and Legal Matters
The Company’s total commercial commitments under standby repurchase obligations on global dealer inventory financing were $2,848,310 and $2,961,019 as of October 31, 2019 and July 31, 2019. The commitment term is generally 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. This deferred amount is included in the repurchase and guarantee reserve balances of $8,888 and $9,575 as of October 31, 2019 and July 31, 2019, respectively, which are included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
16

Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 were not material. Based on current market conditions, the Company believes that any future losses under these agreements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is also 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. Based on current conditions, and 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. Litigation is, however, inherently uncertain and an adverse outcome from such litigation could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period.
16. Leases
On August 1, 2019, the Company adopted new accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 ("ASC 842") Leases. ASC 842 established new criteria for recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating lease arrangements. The Company elected to adopt this guidance utilizing the optional transition method that allowed the Company to implement this new guidance prospectively, and to only include the disclosures required under ASC 842 for the periods subsequent to adoption.
The Company has operating leases principally for land, buildings and equipment and also leases certain real estate under various finance leases expiring between calendar 2019 and 2028. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or fewer and which do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain of the Company's leases include options to extend or terminate the leases and these options have been included in the relevant lease term to the extent that they are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead account for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Accordingly, all costs associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease costs. Lease costs are recorded in Cost of products sold, Selling, general, and administrative expenses and Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
The Company does not include significant restrictions or covenants in our lease agreements, and residual value guarantees are not generally included within our operating leases.
The components of lease costs for the three-month period ended October 31, 2019 were as follows:

| Three Months Ended |  |
| October 31, 2019 |  |
Operating lease cost | $ | 3,031 |  |  |
Finance lease cost |  |  |
Amortization of right-of-use assets | 136 |  |  |

17. Stockholders’ Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Company’s restricted stock unit (“RSU”) program, RSU awards have been approved each October related to the financial performance of the most recently completed fiscal year since October 2012. The awarded employee restricted stock units vest, and shares of common stock are issued, in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. In addition, concurrent with the timing of the employee awards, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (“Board”) has awarded restricted stock units to Board members that will vest, and shares of common stock will be issued, on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.
In September 2019, the Board approved changes to the equity compensation program for certain members of the Company’s executive management. Under the revised program, a portion of their equity compensation will be determined based on performance related to targets set for both the Company’s return on invested capital and free cash flow during a multi-year measurement period (North American operations only and a two-year measurement period for fiscal year 2020 grants). These performance stock unit (“PSU”) awards are based on a sliding scale of actual performance against relevant goals within a range of fifty percent (50%) to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the target compensation. Performance below the fifty percent (50%) threshold will result in no earned shares, while performance above the one hundred fifty percent (150%) level would result in an award of shares equal in value to two times the amount of target compensation. In deriving the number of shares earned, if any, both performance metrics will be weighted equally. Following the measurement period, in accordance with actual achievement and certification of performance metrics, fully vested shares of common stock will be issued to the award recipients. The fair value of the PSU awards is determined using the Company’s stock price on the grant date. These awards are equity classified and will be expensed over the applicable measurement period based on the extent to which the performance metrics are probable of achievement.
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the three-month periods ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 for these RSU and PSU awards totaled $5,013 and $4,530, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized Company management to utilize up to $250,000 to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through June 19, 2020. There were no repurchases under this program during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2019 or 2018.

Executive Overview
We were founded in 1980 and have grown to become the largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles ("RVs") in the world. We are also the largest manufacturer of RVs in North America, and one of the largest manufacturers of RVs in Europe. In North America, according to Statistical Surveys, Inc. (“Stat Surveys”), for the calendar year-to-date period ended September 30, 2019, Thor’s combined U.S. and Canadian market share was approximately 46.9% for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined and approximately 37.4% for motorhomes. In Europe, according to the European Caravan Federation and based on registrations for Europe's OEM-reporting countries, Thor's European market share for the calendar year-to-date period ended September 30, 2019 was approximately 25.8% for motorcaravans and campervans combined and approximately 21.0% for caravans.
Our business model includes decentralized operating units, and our RV products are primarily sold to independent, non-franchise dealers who, in turn, retail those products. Our growth has been achieved both organically and through acquisition, and our strategy is designed to increase our profitability by driving innovation, servicing our customers, manufacturing quality products, improving the efficiencies of our facilities and making strategic growth acquisitions.

Recent Events
Erwin Hymer Group Acquisition
On February 1, 2019, the Company acquired Erwin Hymer Group SE ("EHG"). EHG is headquartered in Bad Waldsee, Germany, and is one of the largest RV manufacturers in Europe.
At the closing, the Company paid cash consideration of approximately 1.53 billion Euro (approximately $1.76 billion at the exchange rate as of February 1, 2019) and issued 2,256,492 shares of the Company's common stock to the sellers valued at $144.2 million. The cash consideration was funded through a combination of available cash on hand of approximately $95 million and debt financing consisting of two credit facility agreements, a seven-year, $2.1 billion term loan, with an approximate $1.4 billion U.S. dollar-denominated tranche and an approximate 0.6 billion Euro tranche (approximately $0.7 billion at the exchange rate at February 1, 2019), and $100 million utilized at closing from a five-year, $750.0 million asset-based credit facility ("ABL"), each as more fully described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The obligations of the Company under each facility are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company, and both agreements contain certain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company.
Industry Outlook — North America
The Company monitors industry conditions in the North American RV market through the use of monthly wholesale shipment data as reported by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), which is typically issued on a one-month lag and represents manufacturers’ RV production and delivery to dealers. In addition, we monitor monthly retail sales trends as reported by Stat Surveys, 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.
North American RV independent dealer inventory of Thor products as of October 31, 2019 decreased 22.8% to approximately 101,500 units, compared to approximately 131,500 units as of October 31, 2018. During the remainder of calendar 2019, we expect the North American independent dealer inventory rationalization will continue. Barring a significant macroeconomic impact, we expect to see a flat to modest decline in the North American markets in calendar 2020.
Thor’s North American RV backlog as of October 31, 2019 decreased $21,611, or 1.2%, to $1,737,001 compared to $1,758,612 as of October 31, 2018.
North American Industry Wholesale Statistics
Key wholesale statistics for the North American RV industry, as reported by RVIA for the periods indicated, are as follows:

| U.S. and Canada Wholesale Unit Shipments |  |  |  |  |  |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |  |  |  | Increase |  | %
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | (Decrease) |  | Change
North American Towable Units | 273,629 |  |  | 333,253 |  |  | (59,624) |  |  | (17.9) |
North American Motorized Units | 36,309 |  |  | 45,465 |  |  | (9,156) |  |  | (20.1) |
Total | 309,938 |  |  | 378,718 |  |  | (68,780) |  |  | (18.2) |

According to their most recent forecast published in December 2019, RVIA has forecasted that 2019 calendar year shipments of towable and motorized units will decrease to approximately 355,600 and 46,500 units, respectively, for a total of 402,100 units, a decline of 16.9% from 2018 calendar year shipments.
North American Industry Retail Statistics
We believe that retail demand is the key to continued growth in the North American RV industry, and that annual North American RV industry wholesale shipments will generally approximate a one-to-one replenishment ratio with retail sales as dealer inventory levels are adjusted to generally normalized levels.

Note: Data reported by Stat Surveys is based on official state and provincial records. This information is subject to adjustment and is continuously updated, and is often impacted by delays in reporting by various states or provinces.
Our outlook for future growth in North American 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 of consumers, changes in interest rates, credit availability, the health of the housing market and changes in tax rates and fuel availability and prices. Assuming continued stability or improvement in consumer confidence, availability of retail and wholesale credit, low interest rates with modest rate increases and the absence of negative economic factors, we expect to see long-term growth in the North American RV industry.
A positive long-term outlook for the North American RV segment is supported by continued demographic diversification. While consumers between the ages of 55 and 74 still account for the majority of RV retail sales, there is strong interest and growing retail momentum with the younger "generation X" and "millennials" segments. Not surprisingly, behavioral attributes confirm these groups as being more active, tech savvy, well researched, open to new ideas, seeking new experiences and very family centric, specifically when it comes to cross-generational family activities like RVing, camping and time spent outdoors.
23

Since 2014, Kampgrounds of America ("KOA") has measured an increase of more than 7 million new camper households and annual growth in camping frequency and has noted continued interest in the RV lifestyle, especially among the younger segments. Younger consumers are also redefining cultural views on “vacation” and opting instead for 50 to 100 mile getaways within driving distance to home or school. Given the importance younger consumers and millennial households place on family, quality experiences, technology and time, we are well-positioned to provide the innovative product offerings which deliver the lifestyle experiences that complement millennial expectations.
In addition to younger age demographics, there are opportunities to expand sales to a more ethnically diverse and global customer base through lifestyle, lifestage and data-driven marketing. We intend to expand upon our recent marketing initiatives that focus on diversity, women, families, millennials and the RV lifestyle across social, digital, web, acquisition, mobile and content marketing. In addition to providing best-in-class marketing and research assets to our dealers, we are committed to providing our end consumers with technology tools and RV lifestyle resources through our joint venture, TH2.
Economic or industry-wide factors affecting our RV business include the costs of commodities, the impact of actual or threatened tariffs on commodity costs, and the labor used in the manufacture of our products. Material and labor costs are the primary factors determining our cost of products sold, and any future increases in raw material or labor costs would impact our profit margins negatively if we were unable to offset those cost increases through a combination of product decontenting, material sourcing strategies, efficiency improvements or raising the selling prices for our products by corresponding amounts. Historically, we have generally been able to offset net cost increases over time.
We have not experienced any significant unusual supply constraints from our North American chassis suppliers recently. The North American recreational vehicle industry has, from time to time, experienced shortages of chassis for various reasons, including component shortages, production delays and work stoppages at the chassis manufacturers. These shortages have had a negative impact on our sales and earnings in the past. We believe that the current supply of chassis used in our North American motorized RV production is generally adequate for current production levels, and that available inventory would compensate for short-term changes in supply schedules if they occur.
Industry Outlook — Europe
The Company monitors retail trends in the European RV market as reported by the European Caravan Federation (“ECF”), whose industry data is reported to the public quarterly and typically issued on a one-to-two month lag. Additionally, on a monthly basis the Company receives original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") specific reports from most of the individual member countries that make up the ECF. As these reports are coming directly from the ECF member countries, timing and content vary, but typically the reports are issued on a one-to-two month lag as well. While most countries provide OEM-specific information, the United Kingdom, which makes up 22.4% and 11.3% of the caravan and motorcaravan (including campervans) European market for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, does not provide OEM-specific information. Industry wholesale shipment data for the European RV market is not available.
The Company reports its European reportable segment sales based on the following product categories:

Motorcaravan — | similar to the Class A and Class C motorized products in the North American market |  |  |
Campervan — | similar to the Class B motorized products in the North American market, but also includes urban campers |  |  |
Caravan — | similar to the travel trailer and other towable units in the North American market. Fifth wheel units are not sold in the European market due to their generally larger size and weight |  |  |
Other — | includes sales of used recreational vehicle units, parts and camping accessories, repair services, rental sales and other |  |  |

We believe our independent dealer inventory levels of EHG products in Europe, while elevated in certain locations, are generally appropriate for seasonal consumer demand in Europe and are progressing towards more normalized levels. The fiscal first quarter is a seasonally slower quarter in Europe due to the European summer holiday season, but consumer demand in Europe for the remainder of the fiscal year typically aligns with the seasonal retail patterns experienced in the North American market. Thor’s European RV backlog as of October 31, 2019 was $1,292,063.

Note: For comparison purposes, the totals reflected above include the pre-acquisition results of EHG for January 2019 (and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018). In addition, data from the ECF is subject to adjustments and is continuously updated, and is often impacted by delays in reporting by various countries.
The European outlook for future growth in retail sales depends upon various economic conditions in the respective countries. End-customer demand for RV vehicles depends strongly on consumer confidence. Factors such as the rate of unemployment, private consumption and investments, growth in disposable income of consumers, changes in interest rates, the health of the housing market and changes in tax rates influence retail sales. Assuming continued stability or improvement in consumer confidence, low interest rates with modest rate increases and the absence of negative economic factors, we would expect to see continued long-term growth in the European RV industry.
Several social trends support the positive long-term outlook for Europe. First, there is the growing group of “active seniors” (age 55 to 75) who have the time, health and wealth, combined with the desire, to explore countries and cultures. Secondly, there is the new, but growing, group of younger customers (age 35 to 45) who are discovering RVs as a way to support their lifestyle in search of independence and individuality, as well as using the RV as multi-purpose vehicles to escape urban life and explore outdoor activities and nature.
25

Our European operations address the European market with a full line-up of leisure vehicles including travel trailers, urban campers, campervans and small-to-large motorhomes. The product offering is not limited to vehicles only, but also includes accessories and services including rental vehicles.
In addition to its product offerings, EHG addresses its consumers through a sophisticated brand management approach based on customer segmentation according to target group, core values and emotions. With the help of data-based and digital marketing, EHG intends to expand its customer reach, in particular in new and younger consumer segments.
Economic or industry-wide factors affecting our European RV business include the costs of commodities and the labor used in the manufacture of our products. Material and labor costs are the primary factors determining our cost of products sold and any future increases in raw material or labor costs would impact our profit margins negatively if we were unable to offset those cost increases through a combination of product decontenting, material sourcing strategies, efficiency improvements or raising the selling prices for our products by corresponding amounts.
We believe the outlook for future growth of the European economy and private consumption in general is positive, with differences for each country, but could be negatively impacted by increasing global trade barriers and related tax tariffs, as well as by European political decisions like Brexit, or the introduction of new emission standards.
In our European market, EHG has not experienced any significant, unusual supply constraints from chassis suppliers recently. The European recreational vehicle industry has, from time to time, experienced shortages of chassis for various reasons, including introduction of new regulatory standards, component shortages and production delays at the chassis manufacturers. We believe that the current supply of chassis used in the European motorized RV production is generally adequate for current production levels, and that available inventory would compensate for short-term changes in supply schedules if they occur. However, uncertainties related to changing emission standards, such as the Euro 6d standard which becomes effective from January 2020 for new models and from January 2021 on all new vehicles, may impact the availability of chassis used in our production of certain European motorized RVs and could also impact consumer buying patterns.

CONSOLIDATED
Consolidated net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2019 increased $402,809, or 22.9%, compared to the three months ended October 31, 2018. This increase is attributable to EHG's net sales of $493,007, partially offset by a decrease in net sales from North America recreational vehicles and Other, net of $90,198, or 5.1%, compared to the three months ended October 31, 2018. Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended October 31, 2019 increased $101,555, or 49.0%, compared to the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase in gross profit included EHG's gross profit for the period of $64,611, in addition to the increase of $36,944, or 17.8%, in total North American and Other, net gross profit compared to the prior-year quarter. Consolidated gross profit was 14.3% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 11.8% for the three months ended October 31, 2018, with the increase in percentage primarily impacted by the North American recreational vehicles improvement to 14.2% from 11.6% and the addition of EHG's gross profit percentage of 13.1%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2019 increased $85,771, or 83.5%, compared to the three months ended October 31, 2018, with EHG accounting for $73,786 of the $85,771 increase.
Amortization of intangible assets expense for the three months ended October 31, 2019 increased $11,702 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2018, primarily due to incremental amortization expense of $12,682 from EHG, partially offset by lower dealer network amortization as compared to the prior-year period. Income before income taxes for the three months ended October 31, 2019 was $68,634, as compared to $31,517 for the three months ended October 31, 2018, an increase of $37,117, or 117.8%.
Additional information concerning the changes in net sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related costs and income before income taxes are addressed below and in the segment reporting that follows.
Corporate costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9,097 to $19,367 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $10,270 for the three months ended October 31, 2018, an increase of 88.6%. This increase includes an increase in deferred compensation expense of $3,271, which relates to the equal and offsetting increase in other income related to the deferred compensation plan assets as noted below, and an increase in stock-based compensation of $483. Legal, professional and marketing costs also increased by $2,757, partially due to professional fees related to the integration of EHG operations. Donations also increased $2,045, primarily due to a significant contribution to the National Forest Foundation in August 2019.
28

Corporate interest and other income and expense was $26,823 of net expense for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $3,296 of net expense for the three months ended October 31, 2018. This increase in net expense of $23,527 is primarily due to an increase in interest expense and fees of $25,579 resulting from the debt facilities related to the EHG acquisition. This increase was partially offset by the change in the fair value of the Company’s deferred compensation plan assets due to market fluctuations and investment income resulting in net income of $976 in the current-year period as compared to net expense of $2,295 in the prior-year period, a net increase in income of $3,271.
Acquisition-related costs were $57,089 for the three months ended October 31, 2018. These Corporate costs included a non-cash foreign currency forward contract loss of $42,555, as the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Euro. The remaining $14,534 related primarily to legal, professional and advisory fees related to financial due diligence and preliminary implementation costs, rating agency fees related to obtaining debt financing and regulatory review costs.
The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2019 was 24.5% compared with 55.7% for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The primary reason for the decrease in the overall effective income tax rate between the comparable periods was the non-deductible foreign currency forward contract loss of $42,555 that occurred in the three months ended October 31, 2018 as discussed in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Under federal income tax law, the loss recognized for financial statement purposes was not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

29

The decrease in total North American towables net sales of 6.1% compared to the prior-year quarter resulted from a 12.6% decrease in unit shipments partially offset by a 6.5% increase in the overall net price per unit due to the impact of changes in product mix and price. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the three months ended October 31, 2019, combined travel trailer and fifth wheel wholesale unit shipments decreased 8.4% compared to the same period last year. According to the most recently published statistics from Stat Surveys, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our market share for travel trailers and fifth wheels combined was 46.1% and 51.2%, respectively. Comparisons of Company shipments to industry shipments on a quarterly basis would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year.
The increases in the overall net price per unit within the travel trailer and other product lines of 6.5% and the fifth wheel product lines of 5.5% were both primarily due to changes in product mix and selective net price increases since the prior-year quarter.
Cost of products sold decreased $108,711 to $1,016,695, or 84.7% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $1,125,406 or 88.0% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $102,773 of the $108,711 decrease in cost of products sold. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American towables net sales decreased to 78.7% for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to 81.9% for the three months ended October 31, 2018, primarily as a result of improvements in the material cost, labor and warranty percentages. The improvement in the material cost percentage is primarily due to favorable product mix, selective net price increases and stable material costs since the prior-year period. The warranty cost percentage is lower due to favorable experience trends. Total manufacturing overhead decreased $5,938 with the decrease in sales, and decreased slightly as a percentage of North American towables net sales from 6.1% to 6.0%.
North American towables gross profit increased $30,501 to $184,193, or 15.3% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $153,692, or 12.0% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase in gross profit and the gross profit percentage is due to the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $71,305, or 5.9% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $69,082, or 5.4% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The primary reason for the $2,223 increase was the increase in North American towables income before income taxes, which caused related commissions, bonuses and other compensation to increase by $2,819. Th e increase in the overall selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of North American towables net sales is primarily due to the increased compensation noted above combined with the lower sales volume.
North American towables income before income taxes was $104,322, or 8.7% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $74,550 or 5.8% of North American towables net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The primary reason for the increase in percentage was the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage, partially offset by the increase in the selling, general and administrative percentage noted above.

The decrease in total North American motorized net sales of 3.6% compared to the prior-year quarter resulted from a 2.8% increase in unit shipments offset by a 6.4% decrease in the overall net price per unit due to the impact of changes in product mix and price. According to statistics published by RVIA, for the three months ended October 31, 2019, combined motorhome wholesale unit shipments decreased 11.9% compared to the same period last year. According to the most recently published statistics from Stat Surveys, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our market share for motorhomes was 39.2% and 40.2%, respectively. Comparisons of Company shipments to industry shipments on a quarterly basis would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year.
The decrease in the overall net price per unit within the Class A product line of 3.6% was primarily due to a lower concentration of the generally larger and more expensive diesel units versus the more modestly-priced gas units in the current period as compared to the prior-year quarter. The increase in the overall net price per unit within the Class C product line of 5.8% was primarily due to the net impact of product mix changes and selective net price increases. The decrease in the overall net price per unit within the Class B product line of 20.8% is primarily due to product mix as a result of the introduction of new, lower-priced models since the prior-year quarter.
Cost of products sold decreased $15,826 to $371,142, or 89.2% of North American motorized net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $386,968, or 89.7% of North American motorized net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The changes in material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs comprised $14,761 of the $15,826 decrease primarily due to the decreased sales volume. Material, labor, freight-out and warranty costs as a combined percentage of North American motorized net sales decreased to 84.8% for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to 85.2% for the three months ended October 31, 2018, with the decrease primarily due to lower labor and warranty cost percentages. Total manufacturing overhead decreased $1,065 with the volume decrease, and decreased slightly as a percentage of motorized net sales from 4.5% to 4.4%.

North American motorized gross profit increased $517 to $44,747, or 10.8% of North American motorized net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $44,230, or 10.3% of North American motorized net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase in gross profit and the increase as a percentage of North American motorized net sales is due to the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were consistent with the prior year and totaled $21,631, or 5.2% of North American motorized net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $21,252, or 4.9% of North American motorized net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase as a percentage of sales was due to the lower sales volumes.
North American motorized income before income taxes was $21,775, or 5.2% of North American motorized net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to $21,712, or 5.0% of motorized net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The primary reason for this increase in percentage was the decrease in the cost of products sold percentage noted above, partially offset by the increase in the selling, general and administrative expense percentages noted above.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
As of October 31, 2019, we had $231,778 in cash and cash equivalents, of which $131,007 is held in the U.S. and the equivalent of $100,771, predominantly in Euros, was held in Europe, compared to $425,615 on July 31, 2019, of which $223,394 was held in the U.S. and the equivalent of $202,221, predominantly in Euros, was held in Europe. Cash and cash equivalents held internationally may be subject to foreign withholding taxes if repatriated to the U.S. The components of this $193,837 decrease in cash and cash equivalents are described in more detail below, but the decrease was primarily attributable to cash used in operations of $51,997 and cash used in financing activities of $114,774 as described below.
Net working capital at October 31, 2019 was $554,098 compared to $589,032 at July 31, 2019. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents noted above, partially offset by seasonal increases in trade accounts receivable and inventory. Capital expenditures of $31,220 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 were made primarily for land and production building additions and improvements and replacing machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business.
We strive to maintain adequate cash balances to ensure we have sufficient resources to respond to opportunities and changing business conditions. We believe our on-hand cash and cash equivalents, and funds generated from operations, along with funds available under the revolving asset-based credit facility will be sufficient to fund expected future operational requirements for the foreseeable future.
Our main short-term priorities for the use of current and future available cash generated from operations are reducing indebtedness and paying regular dividends. Our long-term priorities also include funding our growth both organically and, over time, through acquisition, and maintaining and growing our regular dividends over time. We will also consider strategic and opportunistic repurchases of shares under the share repurchase program, as discussed in Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and special dividends or other strategic share repurchases, as determined by the Company’s Board.
In regard to reducing indebtedness, subsequent to October 31, 2019, we made additional principal payments totaling $13,500 on the U.S. term loan. On November 21, 2019, we also paid 18,000 Euro ($19,964 using the applicable exchange rate from that day) on the asset-based credit facility. The term loan and asset-based credit facility are discussed in more detail in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 6, 2019, our related outstanding balances on these debt instruments, using the approximate applicable exchange rate for that day for the asset-based credit facility, were as follows:

|  | December 6, 2019 |  | October 31, 2019

In regard to growing our business, we anticipate capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2020 for the Company ranging from approximately $100,000 to $115,000, primarily for the completion of the new Airstream towables facility, other building projects and replacing and upgrading machinery, equipment and other assets throughout our facilities to be used in the ordinary course of business.
The Company’s Board currently intends to continue regular quarterly cash dividend payments in the future. As is customary under the credit facilities, certain actions, including our ability to pay dividends, are subject to the satisfaction of certain payment conditions prior to payment. The conditions for the payment of dividends under the existing debt facilities include a minimum level of adjusted excess cash availability and a fixed charge coverage ratio test, both as defined in the credit agreements. 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, in addition to compliance with any then-existing financing facilities.
Future purchases of the Company’s common stock or special cash dividends may occur based upon market and business conditions and excess cash availability, subject to potential customary limits and restrictions pursuant to the credit facilities, applicable legal limitations and determination by the Board.

For the three months ended October 31, 2018, net income adjusted for non-cash items (primarily depreciation, amortization of intangibles, forward currency forward contract loss, deferred income tax benefit and stock-based compensation) provided $83,708 of operating cash. The changes in working capital used $99,542 of operating cash during that period, due to a seasonal increase in accounts receivable and an inventory increase in conjunction with the increases in production facilities and lines. Income tax payments also exceeded the income tax provision during the period, and accounts payable decreased due to the timing of payments for inventory.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company enters into various hedging transactions to mitigate certain of these risks in accordance with guidelines established by the Company's management. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK – The Company's principal currency exposures mainly relate to the Euro and British Pound Sterling. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage certain foreign exchange rate exposure related to anticipated sales transactions in Pounds Sterling with financial instruments whose maturity date, along with the realized gain or loss, occurs on or near the execution of the anticipated transaction.
The Company also holds $839,596 of debt denominated in Euros at October 31, 2019. A hypothetical 10% change in the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate would change our October 31, 2019 debt balance by approximately $83,960.
INTEREST RATE RISK – The Company uses pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company’s long-term debt from floating to fixed-rate debt. As of October 31, 2019, the Company has $798,200 as notional amounts hedged in relation to the floating-to-fixed interest rate swap. The notional amounts hedged will decrease on a quarterly basis to zero by August 1, 2023.
Based on our interest rate exposure at October 31, 2019, assumed floating-rate debt levels throughout the next 12 months and the effects of our existing derivative instruments, a one-percentage-point increase in interest rates (approximately 19.5% of our weighted-average interest rate at October 31, 2019) would result in an estimated $7,066 pre-tax reduction in net earnings over a one-year period.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under 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, our 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 our management 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 our management, including our 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 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at attaining the level of reasonable assurance noted above.
During the quarter ended October 31, 2019, there were 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 II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. 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. Litigation is, however, inherently uncertain and an adverse outcome from such litigation could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019.
