News Release
WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2025 RESULTS
-- Overall Performance Reflects Challenging Outdoor Recreation Market Environment --
-- Barletta Continues to Expand U.S. Aluminum Pontoon Market Share, Driving Growth of Marine Segment --
-- Company Repurchases $30 Million of Shares During First Quarter --
-- Fiscal Year 2025 EPS Guidance Range Narrowed; Midpoint Maintained --
EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA, December 20, 2024 -- Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WGO), a leading outdoor lifestyle product manufacturer, today reported financial results for the Company's first quarter fiscal 2025.

First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Summary
•Revenues of $625.6 million
•Gross profit of $76.8 million, representing 12.3% gross margin
•Net loss per diluted share of $0.18
•Adjusted net loss per diluted share of $0.03(1)

CEO Commentary
“As expected, the RV and marine operating environment remained challenging in the first quarter, marked by subdued consumer demand and a cautious dealer network reluctant to make significant commitments on new orders ahead of the historically slow winter season,” said Michael Happe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Winnebago Industries. “These industry challenges highlight the critical importance of our strategic focus on disciplined production, effective cost management and targeted investments in new products and technologies. These strategies, complemented by our healthy balance sheet, prudent capital spending and robust liquidity, enhance our competitive position for an anticipated market recovery in the second half of fiscal 2025."
“Our first-quarter results reflected lower unit volumes in our RV segments, start-up costs associated with the Grand Design motorized RV rollout and ongoing product development, and a shift in product mix as we continue to introduce new products that meet the growing consumer preference for lower price-point models,” Happe said. “We continue to transform our product portfolio across brands and segments, refining product content and features to focus on delivering what consumers truly value, without compromising quality or functionality. While revenue and margins in our RV segments were down year over year, we were pleased with the performance of our Marine segment, which delivered top-line and margin growth sequentially and year-over-year. Our Barletta and Chris-Craft brands each generated retail market share growth through October, outperforming the industry in their respective categories."
“From an industry perspective, encouraging retail trends in October and increasing consumer confidence, combined with ongoing inventory management efforts at the dealer level, are positive indicators of strengthening demand and a more balanced market environment,” Happe said. “While the second quarter of fiscal 2025 is likely to remain challenged, we remain confident in our strong positioning and long-term growth potential. That confidence is reflected in our balanced capital allocation strategy, highlighted by the $30 million in share repurchases executed in the first quarter as part of our ongoing commitment to delivering value to our shareholders.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
Revenues were $625.6 million, a decrease of 18.0% compared to $763.0 million in the first quarter of last year, driven primarily by lower unit volume and a reduction in average selling price per unit related to product mix.
Gross profit was $76.8 million, a decrease of 33.7% compared to $115.8 million in the first quarter of last year. Gross profit margin decreased 290 basis points in the quarter to 12.3%, reflecting deleverage, higher warranty experience compared to the prior year and product mix, partially offset by operational efficiencies.
Operating expenses were $77.7 million, an increase of 1.3% compared to $76.7 million in the first quarter of last year. This increase was primarily driven by strategic investments, partially offset by cost containment efforts.
Operating loss was $0.9 million, compared to operating income of $39.1 million in the first quarter of last year.
Net loss was $5.2 million, compared to net income of $25.8 million in the first quarter of last year. Reported net loss per diluted share was $0.18, compared to reported net earnings per diluted share of $0.78 in the first quarter of last year. Adjusted loss per diluted share was $0.03(1), compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.95(1) in the first quarter of last year.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $14.4 million, a decrease of 73.4%, compared to $54.1 million in the first quarter of last year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of November 30, 2024, the Company had total outstanding debt of $696.9 million ($709.3 million of debt, net of debt issuance costs of $12.4 million) and working capital of $556.1 million. Cash flow used in operations was $16.7 million in the Fiscal 2025 first quarter.

Quarterly Cash Dividend and Share Repurchases
On December 18, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share payable on January 29, 2025, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on January 15, 2025. Winnebago Industries executed share repurchases of $30.0 million during the first quarter.

Outlook
For fiscal 2025, Winnebago Industries is reaffirming its expectation for consolidated revenues in the range of $2.9 billion to $3.2 billion. Based on its first-quarter 2025 results, and its outlook for the balance of the year, the Company is narrowing its fiscal 2025 reported EPS and adjusted EPS outlook while leaving the midpoints unchanged. The Company now expects reported earnings per diluted share of $2.50 to $3.80, compared with the prior range of $2.40 to $3.90 per diluted share, and adjusted earnings per share of $3.10 to $4.40(2), compared with a prior range of $3.00 to $4.50 per diluted share. The Company’s outlook takes into account prevailing trends in the RV sector, including competitive dynamics, shifts in consumer preferences, and key macroeconomic factors that may influence overall demand.
“We remain confident in our fiscal 2025 guidance,” said Happe. “Although the first half of the fiscal year comes with its typical seasonality and challenging market conditions, we are prepared to capitalize on the anticipated rise in demand as the RV and marine markets enter the spring selling season. This confidence comes from our robust lineup of new products, healthy channel relationships and strong financial foundation, all of which equip us to effectively serve our customers and navigate the current market landscape.”

Non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have been provided as comparable measures to illustrate the effect of non-recurring transactions occurring during the reported periods and to improve comparability of our results from period to period. Adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share is defined as diluted (loss) earnings per share adjusted for after-tax items that impact the comparability of our results from period to period. EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and other pretax adjustments made in order to present comparable results from period to period. Management believes Adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because these measures exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate historical and prospective financial performance and

trends as well as assess performance relative to competitors and peers; (b) to measure operational profitability on a consistent basis; (c) in presentations to the members of our Board of Directors to enable our Board of Directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in its assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for the Company; (d) to evaluate potential acquisitions; and (e) to ensure compliance with restricted activities under the terms of our asset-backed revolving credit facility and outstanding notes. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
