Unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1
:
Basis of Presentation
The "Company," "we," "our" and "us" are used interchangeably to refer to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its subsidiary, Winnebago of Indiana, LLC, as appropriate in the context.
We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Iowa on February 12, 1958 and adopted our present name on February 28, 1961. Our executive offices are located at 605 West Crystal Lake Road in Forest City, Iowa. Our telephone number is (641) 585-3535; our website is www.winnebagoind.com. Our common stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol “WGO”. We operate on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in August.
In our opinion, the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of
May 26, 2012
and the consolidated results of operations for the
third
quarters and first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
and
2011
, and consolidated cash flows for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
and
2011
. The consolidated statement of operations for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet data as of
August 27, 2011
was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
August 27, 2011
.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04,
Fair Value Measurement,
which requires measurement uncertainty disclosure in the form of a sensitivity analysis of unobservable inputs to reasonable alternative amounts for all Level 3 recurring fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance in the third quarter of our Fiscal 2012. The adoption of this guidance required additional disclosures, but did not have any impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,
Presentation of Comprehensive Income,
which revised the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (our Fiscal 2013). We do not believe that this will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08,
Testing Goodwill for Impairment,
which simplified the manner in which entities test goodwill for impairment. After assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform a quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test becomes optional. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (our Fiscal 2013). We do not believe that this will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2
:
Acquisition
On December 29, 2010 we purchased, through Towables, substantially all of the assets of SunnyBrook, a manufacturer of travel trailer and fifth wheel RVs. The aggregate consideration paid was $4.7 million in cash, net of cash acquired, including the repayment of $3.3 million of SunnyBrook commercial and shareholder debt on the closing date. The assets acquired included inventory, equipment and other tangible and intangible property and are being used in connection with the operation of manufacturing towable recreation vehicles. Also on December 29, 2010, we entered into a five year operating lease agreement for the SunnyBrook facilities. The operations of Towables are included in our consolidated operating results from the date of its acquisition. Towables has continued to manufacture products under the SunnyBrook brands. In addition, in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012
,
Towables began diversifying its product line by including Winnebago brand trailer and fifth wheel products. The primary reason for the acquisition was diversification outside of the motorized market while utilizing the Winnebago brand strength in the towable market allowing for the potential of revenue and earnings growth.

At December 29, 2010, the amortizable intangible assets had a weighted average useful life of 9.8 years. The dealer network was valued based on the Discounted Cash Flow Method and is being amortized on a straight line basis over 10 years. The trademarks were valued based on the Relief from Royalty Method and are being amortized on a straight line basis over 10 years. The non-compete agreement is being amortized on a straight line basis over 7 years. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tax deductible. Pro forma financial information has not been presented due to its insignificance.
Note 3
:
Concentration Risk
One dealer, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for
26.1%
of our consolidated net revenues for the
nine months
ended
May 26, 2012
. The loss of this dealer could have a significant adverse effect on our business.
Note 4
:
Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
We account for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measurement and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.
Cash Equivalents
The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value as maturities are less than three months. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds traded in an active market with no restrictions.
Long-Term and Short-Term Investments
Our long-term and short-term investments are comprised of ARS. Our long-term ARS related investments (as described in
Note 5
) are classified as Level 3 as quoted prices were unavailable due to events described in
Note 5
. Due to limited market information, we utilized a DCF model to derive an estimate of fair value at
May 26, 2012
. The assumptions used in preparing the DCF model included estimates with respect to the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments, forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks, the probability of full repayment of the principal considering the credit quality and guarantees in place and the rate of return required by investors to own such securities given the current liquidity risk associated with ARS. All of our short-term ARS portfolio is classified as Level 2 as they are also in an inactive market, but inputs other than quoted prices were observable and used to value the securities.
Assets that Fund Deferred Compensation
Our assets that fund deferred compensation are marketable equity securities and are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and primarily consist of equity-based mutual funds. They are classified as Level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing stock prices are readily available. These securities fund the Executive Share Option Plan, a deferred compensation program. The short-term portion is included in prepaid and other expenses; the long-term portion is included in other assets.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Our non-financial assets, which include goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, we must evaluate the non-financial asset for impairment. If an impairment did occur, the asset is required to be recorded at the estimated fair value. During the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
, no impairments were recorded for non-financial assets.
The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a

Investments
We own investments in marketable securities that have been designated as "available for sale" in accordance with ASC 320,
Investments-Debt and Equity Securities
. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses reported in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)", a component of stockholders' equity.
At
May 26, 2012
, we held $
10.0 million
(par value) of investments comprised of tax-exempt ARS, which are variable-rate debt securities and have a long-term maturity with the interest rate being reset through Dutch auctions that are typically held every 7, 28 or 35 days. Prior to February 2008, these securities traded at par and are currently callable at par at the option of the issuer. Interest is typically paid at the end of each auction period or semiannually. The ARS we hold are AAA to AA+/Aaa rated by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Moody's Investors Service, Inc., respectively, with most collateralized by student loans guaranteed by the U.S. Government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program.
Since February 2008, most ARS auctions have failed for these securities and there is no assurance that future auctions will

Table of Contents
succeed and, as a result, our ability to liquidate our investment and fully recover the par value in the near term may be limited or nonexistent. We have no reason to believe that any of the underlying issuers of our ARS are presently at risk of payment default. We have continued to receive interest payments on the ARS in accordance with their terms. We believe we will ultimately be able to liquidate our ARS related investments without significant loss primarily due to the collateral securing our ARS. However, redemption could take until final maturity of the ARS (up to 30 years) to realize the par value of our investments. Due to the changes and uncertainty in the ARS market, we believe the recovery period for these investments is likely to be longer than 12 months. On June 1, 2012 we received notice of a partial redemption on a particular ARS with payment received on June 4, 2012. As a result, of the total of
$10.0 million
of ARS investments, we have classified $9.7 million (par value) as long-term with the remaining amount of $250,000 classified as short-term ARS investments as of
May 26, 2012
.
At
May 26, 2012
, there was insufficient observable ARS market information available to determine the fair value of our long‑term ARS investments. Therefore, we estimated fair value by incorporating assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Some of these assumptions included credit quality, final stated maturities, estimates on the probability of the issue being called prior to final maturity, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and broker quotes from independent evaluators. Based on this analysis, at
May 26, 2012
we recorded an unrealized temporary impairment of $609,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income related to our long-term ARS investments of $9.7 million (par value).

Goodwill and other intangible assets are the result of the acquisition of SunnyBrook during the second quarter of Fiscal 2011. Goodwill is not subject to amortization. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. The weighted average remaining amortization period at
May 26, 2012
is
8.4
years.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Intangible assets are also subject to impairment tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the asset's carrying value may exceed its estimated fair value, at which time an impairment would be recorded.

Credit Facility
The Loan Agreement provides for an initial $20.0 million revolving credit facility, based on eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, expiring on October 13, 2012, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. The Loan Agreement contains no financial covenant restrictions for borrowings up to $12.5 million; provided that borrowings cannot exceed the Asset Coverage Amount (as defined in the Loan Agreement) divided by 2.25. The Loan Agreement also includes a framework to expand the size of the facility up to $50.0 million, based on mutually agreeable covenants to be determined at the time of expansion. No borrowings have been made under the Loan Agreement as of the date of this report.
Interest on loans made under the Loan Agreement will be based on the greater of LIBOR or a base rate of 2.0% plus a margin of 4.0% or the greater of prime rate or 4.25% plus a margin of 3.0%. The unused line fee associated with the Loan Agreement is 1.25% per annum. Additionally, under certain circumstances, we will be required to pay an early termination fee of 1% of the maximum credit available under the Loan Agreement if we terminate the Loan Agreement prior to October 13, 2012.
On February 1, 2012 Wells Fargo Bank, National Association purchased the loan portfolio of Burdale Capital Finance, Inc., which included the Loan Agreement. No modifications were made to the Loan Agreement as a result of this transaction.

Warranty
We provide our motor home customers a comprehensive 12-month/15,000-mile warranty on the Class A, Class B and Class C motor homes, and a 3-year/36,000-mile structural warranty on Class A and Class C sidewalls and floors. We provide a comprehensive 12-month warranty on all towable products. We have also incurred costs for certain warranty-type expenses which occurred after the normal warranty period. We have voluntarily agreed to pay such costs to help protect the reputation of our products and the goodwill of our customers. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and are based on past warranty claims and unit sales history and adjusted as required to reflect actual costs incurred, as information becomes available. A significant increase in dealership labor 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 on which such claims or additional costs materialize. We also incur costs as a result of additional service actions not covered by our warranties, including product recalls and customer satisfaction actions. Estimated costs are accrued at the time the service action is implemented and are based on past claim rate experiences and the estimated cost of the repairs.

Postretirement Health Care Benefits
We provide certain health care and other benefits for retired employees hired before April 1, 2001, who have fulfilled eligibility requirements of age 55 with 15 years of continuous service. We use a September 1 measurement date for this plan and our postretirement health care plan currently is not funded. In Fiscal 2005, we established dollar caps on the amount that we will pay for postretirement health care benefits per retiree on an annual basis so that we were not exposed to continued medical inflation. Retirees are required to pay a monthly premium in excess of the employer dollar caps for medical coverage based on years of service and age at retirement. In January 2012 the employer established dollar caps were reduced by 10%, which reduced our liability for postretirement health care by approximately $4.6 million.

Stock-based Compensation Plans
We have a 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan approved by shareholders in place which allows us to grant or issue stock awards and other compensation to key employees and to nonemployee directors. On January 11, 2012 our Board of Directors granted 50,000 shares of restricted common stock to Robert J. Olson, retiring CEO, in recognition of his contributions to our success during his 43 years of service. The value of the restricted stock award is determined using the intrinsic value method which, in this case, is based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
Stock-based compensation expense was $114,000 and $877,000 during the
third
quarters of
Fiscal 2012
and
Fiscal 2011
, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $863,000 and $1.0 million during the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
and
Fiscal 2011
, respectively. Of the $863,000, $398,000 related to the January 11, 2012 grant. The remainder is related to the amortization of previously granted restricted stock awards, as well as nonemployee director stock units issued in lieu of their fees. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the award or over a period ending with the employee's eligible retirement date, if earlier.

Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Repurchase Commitments
Generally, manufacturers in the RV industry enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. Most dealers' RVs are financed on a "floorplan" basis under which a bank or finance company lends the dealer all, or substantially all, of the purchase price, collateralized by a security interest in the RVs purchased.
Our repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution, we will repurchase the financed merchandise. The terms of these agreements, which generally can last up to 18 months, provide that our liability will be the lesser of remaining principal owed by the dealer or dealer invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. Our contingent liability on these repurchase agreements was approximately
$169.0 million
and $133.4 million at
May 26, 2012
and
August 27, 2011
, respectively.
In certain instances, we also repurchase inventory from our dealers due to state law or regulatory requirements that govern voluntary or involuntary relationship terminations. Although laws vary from state to state, some states have laws in place that require manufacturers of RVs to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. Incremental repurchase exposure beyond existing repurchase agreements, related to dealer inventory in states that we have had historical experience of repurchasing inventory, totaled
$11.4 million
and $5.7 million at
May 26, 2012
and
August 27, 2011
, respectively.
Based on these repurchase agreements, we establish an associated loss reserve which is disclosed separately in the balance sheets. Repurchased sales are not recorded as revenue transactions, but the net difference between the original repurchase price and the resale price are recorded against the loss reserve, which is a deduction from gross revenue. Our loss reserve for repurchase commitments contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment regarding a number of factors. There are two significant assumptions associated with establishing our loss reserve for repurchase commitments: (1) the percentage of dealer inventory that we will be required to repurchase as a result of defaults by the dealer, and (2) the loss that will be incurred, if any, when repurchased inventory is resold. These key assumptions are affected by a number of factors, such as macro-market conditions, current retail demand of our product, age of product in dealer inventory, physical condition of the product, location of the dealer, and the financing source. To the extent that dealers are increasing or decreasing their inventories, our overall exposure under repurchase agreements is likewise impacted. The percentage of dealer inventory we estimate we will repurchase (which has ranged in recent years from 5% to 11% on a weighted average basis) and the associated estimated loss (which has ranged in recent years from 7% to 16% on a weighted average basis) is based on historical information, current trends and an analysis of dealer inventory aging for all dealers with inventory subject to this obligation. In periods where there is increasing retail demand for our product at our dealerships, the lower end of our estimated range of assumptions will be more appropriate and in periods of decreasing retail demand, the opposite will be true.
Based on the repurchase exposure as previously described, we established an associated loss reserve of
$862,000
as of
May 26, 2012
and
$1.2 million
as of
August 27, 2011
. The inventory repurchased and the associated losses on the inventory resold presented in the table below during the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 relates to three dealers, two of which were towable dealers.
A summary of repurchase activity is as follows:

We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our loss reserve for repurchase commitments. A hypothetical change of a 10% increase or decrease in our significant repurchase commitment assumptions at
May 26, 2012
would have affected pre-tax income by approximately $255,000.
Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings which are ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to this litigation, we believe that while the final resolution of any such litigation may have an impact on our results for a particular reporting period, the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have any material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under ASC 740,
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.
Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances arise due to uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets. ASC 740 requires that companies assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a “more-likely-than-not” standard. In making such assessments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. A company's current or previous losses are given more weight than its future outlook. Under that standard, our three-year historical cumulative loss was a significant negative factor. We have evaluated the sustainability of our deferred tax assets on our balance sheet which includes the assessment of cumulative income or losses over recent prior periods. Based on ASC 740 guidelines, as of
August 27, 2011
and
May 26, 2012
, we have applied a valuation allowance of $39.3 million and $37.2 million respectively against our deferred tax assets. We will continue to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realizable at each reporting period and our valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.
We file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various international and state jurisdictions. Although certain years are no longer subject to examinations by the IRS and various state taxing authorities, net operating loss carryforwards generated in those years may still be adjusted upon examination by the IRS or state taxing authorities if they either have been or will be used in a future period. Due to such carryback claims, our federal returns from Fiscal 2004 to present continue to be subject to review by the IRS. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved, and it is often very difficult to predict the outcome of such audits. Periodically, various state and local jurisdictions conduct audits, therefore, a variety of years are subject to state and local jurisdiction review.
As of
May 26, 2012
, our unrecognized tax benefits were
$4.9 million
, all of which, if recognized, would positively affect our effective tax rate as all of the deferred tax assets associated with these positions have a full valuation allowance established against them. It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits as tax expense. As of
May 26, 2012
, we had accrued
$2.2 million
in interest and penalties which are included in unrecognized tax benefits.
We do not anticipate any significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
Actual results may differ materially from this estimate.

Forward-Looking Information
Certain of the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements, including, but not limited to, increases in interest rates, availability of credit, low consumer confidence, significant increase in repurchase obligations, inadequate liquidity or capital resources, availability and price of fuel, a slowdown in the economy, availability of chassis and other key component parts, sales order cancellations, slower than anticipated sales of new or existing products, new product introductions by competitors, the effect of global tensions, integration of operations relating to mergers and acquisitions activities, and other factors which may be disclosed throughout this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the “forward-looking statements” are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, or levels of activity, performance or achievements. Undue reliance should not be placed on these “forward-looking statements,” which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any “forward-looking statements” whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or the rules of the NYSE.

Highlights of our most recent quarter:
The increase in net revenues in the
third quarter of Fiscal 2012
was driven by two primary factors: increased towable sales volume and higher average selling prices based upon the mix of RVs delivered. The incremental revenue generated in our fiscal third quarter allowed us to improve our gross margins on a year over year basis and on a consecutive quarter basis. The key factor for the margin improvement related to better fixed cost absorption as we produced more product in the quarter.
In addition, Towables specifically contributed to improved results in our fiscal third quarter, generating operating income that resulted in $.01 of EPS of the fiscal quarter; the first accretive quarter since the acquisition in December 2010. This compares to a $.01 EPS loss attributable to Towables in the same quarter last year. The investments we have made over the past several quarters are beginning to produce positive financial results in the near term and we expect to build on this momentum. The increased towable backlog coupled with the recent strong retail turn rate and relatively low towable dealer inventory validates our belief that there is room to grow this portion of our business in the coming quarters and years.

Monthly and quarterly 2012 Class A, B and C wholesale shipments are based upon the forecast prepared by Dr. Richard Curtin of the University of Michigan Consumer Survey Research Center for RVIA and reported in the Roadsigns RV Special 2013 Industry Forecast Issue. The revised RVIA annual 2012 wholesale shipment forecast is 26,100 and the annual forecast for 2013 is 27,600.

Stat Surveys has not issued a projection for 2012 retail demand for this period.
The size of the motorized retail market for each of the past three calendar years has been less than half of what the industry norms had been prior to the recession that began in December 2007. RVIA, in a recent Roadsigns publications, attributes the flat retail environment primarily to declining home equity. However, RVIA forecasts that motor homes sales are likely to improve at a relatively greater pace in the decade ahead as stricter fuel economy standards reduce the towing capacity of the household vehicle fleet.

The towable retail market has not been as negatively impacted in recent years as the motorized market. The size of the market was nearly nine times larger than the motorized market on a unit basis in Calendar 2011. This is primarily due to the fact that average price of a towable unit is considerably less than a motor home.
Company Outlook
Based on our profitable operating results for Fiscal 2011, profitable operating results and strong operating cash flow performance thus far in Fiscal 2012, we believe that we have demonstrated our ability to maintain adequate liquidity, cover operations costs, recover fixed assets, and maintain physical capacity at present levels. In Fiscal 2011 we entered into the towable market, providing us the potential to grow revenues and earnings in a market significantly larger than the motorized market.
We believe retail sales will be the key driver to improvement of the recreation vehicle market. We also believe that future dealer buying patterns will continue to be primarily based on retail demand, thus dealers are expected to order approximately one new unit as one is retailed. Our viewpoint is that dealers post-recession are much more cautious about their level of inventory and are more focused on their retail turn rate than they were as a group pre-recession. We plan to continue to focus on those same metrics, closely reviewing the aging of dealer inventory and retail turns by product series. Consistent with our current practice, we will continue to adjust our weekly production rate up or down based on market demand. Negative factors that may hinder retail sales include the current low level of consumer confidence, continued high unemployment levels and uncertainty regarding fuel prices.

We include in our backlog all accepted purchase orders from dealers to be shipped within the next six months. Orders in backlog can be canceled or postponed at the option of the purchaser at any time without penalty and, therefore, backlog may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales.
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2012, we hosted our Dealer Days event, which was the primary reason our selling expenses increased from the prior year. At this event, we showcased our new product and spent time with our dealer body. The event resulted an improved sales order position for our motorized products and had a particularly positive impact on our Towable backlog.
Based on the positive response we have received to our new model year products, our sales order backlog has shown significant growth. As a result, we have taken steps to gradually increase production rates. Due to the improved backlog and continued low dealer inventories of new products, we are optimistic about the remainder of the fiscal year.
In addition, we are anticipating that in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012, we will reach a three-year cumulative income position. This positive factor, along with our future outlook, may eliminate the uncertainty of realizing our deferred tax assets, thus allowing us to significantly reduce our valuation allowance against these assets. If this position is reached, it would result in a one-time, non-cash income tax benefit of approximately $33 million to $35 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012.

Net revenues for the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
increased
$20.1 million
, or
14.9%
, compared to the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2011
, primarily due to:
•
Towables revenues increased
$9.2 million
in
Fiscal 2012
. The increase was due to higher sales volumes, increased product offerings and higher ASPs.
•
Motor home revenues increased
$8.5 million
mostly due to a
7.4%
increase in ASP. Discounts and promotional pricing continued in both quarterly periods.
Cost of goods sold was
$143.6 million
, or
92.2%
of net revenues for the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
compared to
$126.9 million
, or
93.6%
of net revenues for the comparable period a year ago due to the following:
•
Our variable costs (material, labor, variable overhead, delivery, and warranty) as a percent of net revenues,
increased
from
84.8%
to
85.6%
as a percent of net revenues, which was primarily due to increased material costs.
•
Fixed overhead (manufacturing support labor, depreciation and facility costs) and research and development-related costs
decreased
from
8.8%
to
6.6%
, primarily due to increased absorption of fixed overhead as a result of higher production levels.
•
All factors considered, gross profit
increased
from
6.4%
to
7.8%
of net revenues.
Selling expenses
increased
$723,000
, or
20.0%
during the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
as compared to the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2011
, and as a percent of net revenues, were
2.8%
and
2.7%
for the
third
quarters of
Fiscal 2012
and
Fiscal 2011
, respectively. The expense
increase
was due primarily to the fact that we hosted our Dealer Days show (we had not held this event since our Fiscal 2008), as well as increased operating expenses associated with Towables.
General and administrative expenses
increased
$261,000
or
6.6%
during the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
as compared to the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2011
, and as a percentage of net revenues, were
2.7%
and
2.9%
for the
third
quarters of
Fiscal 2012
and
Fiscal 2011
, respectively. Incremental employee expenses were partially offset by decreases in legal expenses and stock-based compensation expense in the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
as compared to the same period in
Fiscal 2011
.
Non-operating income
increased
$326,000
during the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
when compared to the same period in
Fiscal 2011
, primarily due to gains from COLI policies.
The overall effective income tax benefit rate for the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
was
0.3%
compared to the tax benefit rate of
94.6%
for the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2011
. Most notably, our effective tax benefit rate for the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
was near zero as most of the income tax expense associated with pre-tax income was offset by income tax benefit associated with a reduction in the valuation allowance resulting from the finalization of the Fiscal 2011 federal and state tax returns. In addition, we recorded tax benefits in the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 associated with reductions to reserves for uncertain tax positions.
The overall effective income tax rate for the
third
quarter of Fiscal 2011 was a benefit of
94.6%
percent as a result of a reduction in the estimated annual effective tax rate. During the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2011
, the estimated annual effective tax rate decreased most notably as a result of the tax-exempt interest income in relation to projected pre-tax income, the sale of CCMF and the increase to the NOL carryforward from the finalization and filing of the Fiscal 2010 federal and state tax returns.
Net income was
$3.9 million
, or
$0.13
per diluted share, for the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
compared to net income of
$1.2 million
, or
$0.04
per diluted share, for the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2011

Net revenues for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
increased $53.3 million, or 14.6%, compared to the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2011
, primarily due to:
•
Towables revenues were
$40.9 million
in the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
. SunnyBrook, which was acquired in the second quarter of Fiscal 2011, had revenues
$9.0 million
in the first nine months of
Fiscal 2011
.
•
Motor home revenues primarily increased
$16.7 million
due to a
5.0%
increase in ASP. This increase was primarily due to a shift to higher-priced Class A motor homes, although ASPs in general were negatively impacted by increased discounts and promotional pricing.
Cost of goods sold was
$391.7 million
, or
93.5%
of net revenues for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
compared to
$334.6 million
, or
91.5%
of net revenues for the comparable period a year ago due to the following:
•
The increase in cost of goods sold was a result of the $3.5 million favorable inventory adjustment recorded in Fiscal 2011. The adjustment favorably impacted our material, labor, variable overhead and fixed overhead costs as a percentage of net revenues in the first
nine months
of Fiscal 2011.
•
Total variable costs (material, labor, variable overhead, delivery, and warranty) as a percent of net revenues, increased from
83.2%
last year to
85.9%
this year. Increased discounts and promotional pricing and inflationary commodity pressures also contributed to the increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues.
•
Fixed overhead (manufacturing support labor, depreciation and facility costs) and research and development-related costs decreased to
7.6%
of net revenues compared to
8.3%
last year. This difference was primarily due to increased absorption of fixed expenses as a result of higher production volumes.
•
All factors considered, gross profit
decreased
from
8.5%
to
6.5%
of net revenues. Excluding the effect of the physical inventory adjustment in Fiscal 2011, gross profit would have been 7.6% for the first
nine months
of Fiscal 2011.
Selling expenses
increased
$2.4 million
, or
23.3%
during the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
and, as a percent of net revenues were
3.0%
and
2.8%
for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
and
Fiscal 2011
, respectively. The expense
increase
was due primarily to operating expenses associated with Towables and our Dealer Days show in
Fiscal 2012
.
19
Table of Contents
General and administrative expenses
increased
$315,000
during the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
and, as a percentage of net revenues were
2.8%
and
3.2%
for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
and
Fiscal 2011
, respectively. Increases in operating expenses associated with Towables and employee-related expenses in the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
were partially offset by decreases in legal and product liability expenses when compared to the same period in
Fiscal 2011
.
During the first
nine months
of Fiscal 2011 we realized a gain of $644,000 on the sale of CCMF, an asset held for sale, and an impairment of $605,000 on our Hampton facility.
Non-operating income was essentially the same in both nine-month periods. In the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
, increased COLI policy gains were partially offset by lower investment income.
The overall effective income tax benefit rate for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
was
14.8%
compared to the tax benefit rate of
17.6%
for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2011
. Most notably, our effective tax benefit rate for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
was the result of a lower level of book income recorded for such period compared to the same prior year period as well as income tax expense associated with pre-tax income being offset by income tax benefit associated with reductions in valuation allowances resulting from the finalization of the Fiscal 2011 federal and state tax returns. In addition, we recorded tax benefits associated with reductions to reserves for uncertain tax positions.
Our tax benefit rate of
17.6%
in the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2011
was primarily the result of higher book income, thus resulting in lower reductions in tax expense as a percentage of book income, the sale of CCMF, and the increase to the NOL carryforward from the finalization of the Fiscal 2010 federal and state tax returns.
Net income was
$4.1 million
, or
$0.14
per diluted share, for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
compared to
$8.3 million
, or
$0.28
per diluted share, for the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2011
. See
Note 15
.
Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity and Resources
Cash and cash equivalents totaled
$80.8 million
and
$69.3 million
as of
May 26, 2012
and
August 27, 2011
, respectively.
Significant liquidity events in the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
include:
•
Cash flow from operating activities of
$11.7 million
, of which $4.1 million was from net income.
•
ARS redemptions at par of
$750,000
. We have $
10.0 million
ARS at par value as of
May 26, 2012
. See further discussion in
Note 5
.
We also have in place a $20.0 million revolving credit facility expiring on October 13, 2012, unless terminated earlier, which allows us to borrow up to $12.5 million without financial covenant restrictions if there is adequate asset coverage. (See further discussion in
Note 9
.) We had sufficient asset coverage in accounts receivable and inventory as of
May 26, 2012
to access the entire $12.5 million. The facility also includes a framework to expand the size of the facility up to $50.0 million, based on mutually agreeable covenants to be determined at the time of expansion. This potential additional borrowing capacity may be beneficial to us if inventory levels need to substantially increase rapidly as a result of product demand. Due to the current credit facility expiring in early Fiscal 2013, we are reviewing financing alternatives that may be available to us at the time of expiration.
We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on March 31, 2010. Subject to market conditions, we have the ability to offer and sell up to $35 million of our common stock in one or more offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement will be available for use for three years from its effective date. We currently have no plans to offer and sell the common stock registered under the Registration Statement; however, it does provide another source of liquidity in addition to the alternatives already in place.
Working capital at
May 26, 2012
and
August 27, 2011
was $
118.7 million
and
$113.5 million
, respectively, an increase of
$5.2 million
. We currently expect cash on hand, funds generated from operations (if any) and the availability under the credit facility to be sufficient to cover both short-term and long-term operation requirements. We anticipate capital expenditures during the balance of
Fiscal 2012
of approximately $1.1 million, primarily for manufacturing equipment and facilities which will be funded with cash on hand.
Operating Activities
Cash
provided by
operating activities was
$11.7 million
for the
nine months
ended
May 26, 2012
compared to cash
used in
operating activities of
$14.1 million
for the
nine months
ended
May 28, 2011
. In the current fiscal year, the combination of net income and non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, stock-based compensation)
provided
$9.1 million
of operating cash compared to
$15.4 million
in the prior year period. In the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2012
, changes in assets and liabilities
provided
$2.6 million
of operating cash. In the first
nine months
of
Fiscal 2011
, a significant increase in inventory of $
30.1 million
was partially offset by net income of $
8.3 million
.
Investing Activities
In the
nine months
ended
May 26, 2012
, cash
provided by
investing activities was due to
$750,000
of ARS redemptions proceeds and proceeds of life insurance of
$1.4 million
, partially offset by capital spending of
$1.5 million
. During the
nine months
ended
20
Table of Contents
May 28, 2011
, cash
provided by
investing activities of
$4.4 million
was due to ARS redemptions of
$6.5 million
, proceeds of the sale of CCMF of $3.7 million, partially offset by the acquisition of SunnyBrook for $4.7 million and capital spending of
$1.6 million
.
Financing Activities
Cash
used in
financing activities was
$310,000
for the
nine months
ended
May 26, 2012
compared to cash
provided by
financing activities of
$178,000
for the
nine months
ended
May 28, 2011
.
Other Events
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2012, we received an unsolicited, non-binding and highly-conditional proposal from North Street Capital, LP (“North Street”) to acquire all outstanding shares of our common stock at $11.00 per share in cash. Our management has reviewed with our Board of Directors the information provided by North Street in connection with the offer and has determined that, as of the date of this filing, it has not received sufficient information to deem the offer as credible.
Significant Accounting Policies
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1,
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
August 27, 2011
. We discuss our critical accounting estimates in Item 7,
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
August 27, 2011
. We refer to these disclosures for a detailed explanation of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates. There has been no significant change in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of
Fiscal 2011
.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have market risk exposure to our ARS, which is described in further detail in
Note 5
.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures", as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act 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. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's disclosure control objectives.
We have carried out an evaluation, 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 our disclosure controls and procedures, required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter 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
We are involved in various legal proceedings which are ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to this litigation, we believe that while the final resolution of any such litigation may have an impact on our results for a particular reporting period, the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have any material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On December 19, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock, depending on market conditions, for an aggregate consideration of up to $60.0 million. There is no time restriction on this authorization. During the
third
quarter of
Fiscal 2012
, there were 11,171 shares repurchased pursuant to this authorization, at an aggregate cost of approximately $108,000. These shares were repurchased from employees who vested in Company shares during the quarter and elected to pay their payroll tax via share repurchases as opposed to cash. As of
May 26, 2012
, there was approximately
