Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for certain independent dealers of certain of its RV products. These arrangements, which are customary in the RV industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to dealers in the event of default by the dealer on their agreement to pay the financial institution. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product and predefined 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 historically been insignificant in relation to our repurchase obligation with financial institutions. The Company’s total commercial commitments under standby repurchase obligations on dealer inventory financing as of July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022 were $3,893,048 and $4,308,524, respectively. 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 $12,114 and $11,346 as of July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively, which are included in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled in the past three fiscal years 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, management does not believe the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims against the Company will 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. A product recall was issued in late fiscal 2021 related to certain purchased parts utilized in certain of our products, and an accrual to cover anticipated costs was established at that time. Starting in fiscal 2022, the accrual has been adjusted quarterly based on developments involving the recall, including our expectations regarding the extent of vendor reimbursements and the estimated total cost of the recall. The Company has been, and will continue to be, reimbursed for a portion of the costs it will incur related to this recall. In addition, the Company recorded a contingent liability during fiscal 2022 based on developments related to an ongoing investigation by certain German-based authorities regarding the adequacy of historical disclosures of vehicle weight in advertisements and other Company-provided literature in Germany. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation. In fiscal 2023, the Company’s net adjustments related to these two matters were not material. In fiscal 2022, the Company recognized $37,975 of net expense as a component of selling, general and administrative expense related to these two matters. The Company does not believe there will be a material adverse impact to our future results of operations and cash flows due to these matters.
