Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combinations Disclosure [Text Block] | Business Combinations Chris-Craft USA, Inc. On June 4, 2018, we acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Chris-Craft USA, Inc. ("Chris-Craft"). The acquisition diversifies our outdoor lifestyle value proposition into the recreational powerboat industry. The assets, liabilities, and operating results have been included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition within the Corporate / All Other category. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented, as it was immaterial to the reported results. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019. Grand Design RV, LLC On November 8, 2016, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests of Grand Design RV, LLC ("Grand Design") in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $520.5 million, which was paid in cash and Winnebago common stock shares as follows:
(in thousands, except shares) | November 8, 2016
Cash | $ | 396,442 |
Winnebago shares: 4,586,555 at $27.05 per share | 124,066 |
Total | $ | 520,508 |
The cash portion was funded from cash on hand and borrowings under our debt agreements discussed in Note 9, Long-Term Debt. The stock was valued using our share price on the date of closing. The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of Grand Design acquired, based on their fair values at the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018. The acquisition of 100% of the ownership interests of Grand Design occurred in two steps: (1) direct purchase of 89.34% of Grand Design member interests and (2) simultaneous acquisition of the remaining 10.66% of Grand Design member interests via the purchase of 100% of the shares of SP GE VIII-B GD RV Blocker Corp. ("Blocker Corporation"), which held the remaining 10.66% of the Grand Design member interests. We agreed to acquire Blocker Corporation as part of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and we did not receive a step-up in basis for 10.66% of the Grand Design assets. As a result, we established certain deferred tax liabilities on the opening balance sheet that relate to Blocker Corporation. In Fiscal 2018, Blocker Corporation was dissolved. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the value of the workforce, reputation of founders, customer and dealer growth opportunities, and expected synergies. Key areas of cost synergies include increased purchasing power for raw materials and supply chain consolidation. Goodwill is expected to be mostly deductible for tax purposes. Within the Towable segment, the results of Grand Design's operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the close of the acquisition. The following table provides net revenues and operating income (which includes amortization expense) from the Grand Design business included in our consolidated results during Fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017 following the November 8, 2016 closing date:
(in thousands) | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017
Net revenues | $ | 1,069,862 |  |  | $ | 969,362 |  |  | $ | 559,664 |
Operating income | 145,900 |  |  | 129,123 |  |  | 54,188 |

Share Registration As a result of the acquisition of Grand Design, we agreed to register the 4,586,555 shares of common stock issued to the sellers pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement. Under the registration rights agreement, we filed a shelf registration statement on January 20, 2017 to register these shares for resale.
