EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Dec. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WGO), a leading outdoor lifestyle product manufacturer, today reported financial results for the Company's Fiscal 2023 first quarter.

First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
Revenues for the Fiscal 2023 first quarter ended November 26, 2022, were $952.2 million, a decrease of 17.6% compared to $1.2 billion for the Fiscal 2022 period, driven by unit volume decreases versus record year-ago comparisons, partially offset by Marine segment unit growth and price increases in all segments related to higher material and component costs. Gross profit was $160.4 million, a decrease of 30.1% compared to $229.4 million for the Fiscal 2022 period, driven by timing of inflationary pressures relative to pricing, operating deleverage, and productivity loss from supply disruptions. Gross profit margin decreased 300 basis points in the quarter to 16.8%. Operating income was $85.9 million for the quarter, a decrease of 41.3% compared to $146.4 million for the first quarter of last year. Fiscal 2023 first quarter net income was $60.2 million, a decrease of 39.6% compared to $99.6 million in the prior year quarter. Reported earnings per diluted share was $1.73, compared to reported earnings per diluted share of $2.90 in the same period last year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $2.07, a decrease of 41.0% compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.51 in the same period last year. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $97.0 million for the quarter, a decrease of 42.0%,compared to $167.2 million last year.

President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Happe commented, “Winnebago Industries’ first quarter results are a testament to the strength, diversification and resiliency of our brand portfolio amid a dynamic macroeconomic environment. Growth in our Motorhome and Marine segments helped to mitigate challenging market conditions in our Towables business, demonstrating the ongoing benefits of a more balanced array of outdoor recreation businesses. We are also proud of the investments our team continues to make in strengthening our golden threads of quality, innovation and experience. This was evidenced recently with our Winnebago-branded HIKE 100 FLX travel trailer being named "RV of the Year" by RVBusiness trade magazine, and all three of our RV brands (Winnebago, Grand Design, and Newmar) receiving the 2022 Dealer Satisfaction Index awards from the RV Dealer Association. I want to thank all of our Winnebago Industries employees for their hard work during the quarter and their perseverance as we continue to face various challenges, including ongoing supply chain disruption at times. While we expect uncertain market conditions to continue to persist into calendar year 2023, we will remain disciplined on our business operations while still making smart investments in profitable differentiation for our future."

Towable
Revenues for the Towable segment were $347.3 million for the first quarter, down 46.7% compared to record results in the prior year, primarily driven by a decline in unit volume. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $36.3 million, down 67.6% compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.5% decreased 670 basis points, primarily due to deleverage, a normalization back to seasonal trends after extraordinary performance during the prior year period when dealer inventories were at all-time lows, and the timing of inflationary pressures relative to previous pricing actions. Backlog decreased to $434.0 million, a decrease of 76.9% compared to the prior year period driven by higher dealer inventory levels.

Motorhome
Revenues for the Motorhome segment were $464.2 million for the first quarter, up 10.1% from the prior year, driven by price increases related to higher material and component costs, partially offset by unit volume decline. As previously disclosed, Mercedes-Benz AG has issued a global recall related to an electronic parking brake defect affecting model years 2019 through 2022 Sprinter chassis. Winnebago Industries, its dealers, and other upfitters using the Sprinter chassis are not able to sell any of these affected products pending the implementation of a fix. For the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, we estimate the recall had a negative impact of approximately $50 million in net sales, as well as corresponding impacts to profitability and cash flow. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $50.3 million, essentially flat to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.8% decreased 110 basis points compared to the prior year due to deleverage, productivity and supply chain challenges including the chassis recall, partially offset by price increases related to higher material and component costs. Backlog decreased to $1.6 billion, down 33.8% from the prior year, driven by normalizing levels of dealer inventories.

Marine
Revenues for the Marine segment were $131.4 million for the first quarter, up 65.7% from unit volume growth and price increases related to higher material and component costs. Marine is Winnebago Industries’ fastest-growing segment, led by extraordinary market share growth of the Barletta brand in the fast-growing pontoon category, complemented by steady demand for the iconic Chris-Craft brand in the fiberglass category. Barletta continues to outperform the pontoon category and gain market share, according to October 2022 reports from Statistical Surveys Inc. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $18.5 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.1%, up 80 basis points compared to the prior year, primarily due to increased revenue and operating leverage as the Company continues to optimize manufacturing processes and leverages the enterprise capabilities of the broader organization. Backlog for the Marine segment was up 23.8% compared to the prior year period from continued re-stocking of dealer inventories and signing of new dealers.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of November 26, 2022, the Company had total outstanding debt of $590.4 million ($600.0 million of debt, net of debt issuance costs of $9.6 million) and working capital of $617.7 million. Cash flow from operations was $29.9 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.

Mr. Happe continued, “At our recent Investor Day, Winnebago Industries shared strategic priorities and business targets through our Fiscal 2025 year. This was a well-considered, positive representation of our plans and ambitions in the future to create an even stronger company and drive success for our many stakeholders. Winnebago Industries is committed to being the trusted leader in outdoor lifestyle solutions and to that end we will continue to invest strategically in long-term initiatives that create a profitable growth foundation. However, navigating the near-term during the rest of Fiscal 2023 is critically important in maintaining momentum and financial health. We expect some supply chain issues and the normalization of outdoor retail demand to continue through the rest of this period, yet we are focused on maintaining solid profitability by leveraging our highly variable cost structure, strong relationships with dealers and suppliers, and the appeal of our increasingly diverse portfolio of premium brands.”

Non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted diluted 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 earnings per share is defined as diluted earnings per share adjusted for after-tax items that impact the comparability of our results from period to period. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net 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 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.
