Insights

Financial Analyst

The recent financial results disclosed by Winnebago Industries, Inc. highlight a significant decrease in both net revenues and net income, with revenues dropping by 18.8% and the company experiencing a net loss of $12.7 million. This performance is largely attributable to a contraction in the RV and marine markets, which is a reflection of broader economic conditions, such as elevated interest rates that have dampened consumer spending on discretionary items like RVs and boats. The decline in gross margin by 190 basis points to 15.0% suggests that the company is facing challenges in maintaining profitability amidst market headwinds.

The completion of a $350 million offering of convertible senior notes is a strategic move to manage debt maturities, which indicates proactive financial management. However, the associated charge of $32.7 million impacted this quarter's earnings. Looking at the operational discipline and product diversification, the company shows resilience in tough market conditions. Yet, the reduced adjusted EBITDA margin, down to 7.1% from a higher percentage last year, raises concerns about operational efficiency and cost management.

Investors might view the future mid-cycle organic growth targets with cautious optimism, as they suggest a path to recovery and growth. However, these targets are set against the backdrop of current market softness, which could affect the company's ability to achieve these objectives. The emphasis on innovation and diversification, along with the pursuit of increased market share, could be positive indicators for future performance, but the realization of these goals will depend on market recovery and consumer confidence.

Market Research Analyst

Winnebago's reported increase in market share within the U.S. aluminum pontoon market, up 80 basis points year-over-year to 7.9%, is a positive signal amidst overall declining sales. It suggests that despite the downward trend in the marine segment, the company is outperforming competitors or capturing a larger slice of a shrinking market. This could be attributed to effective brand strategies or product offerings that resonate with consumers.

The cautious approach of the dealer network, reflected in the reduced backlogs for both RV and Marine segments, indicates that dealers are responding to lower consumer demand by minimizing inventory risk. This is a prudent move in the short term but could lead to challenges in ramping up production quickly should demand rebound faster than anticipated.

While the current market conditions are challenging, the long-term secular growth trends in outdoor recreation, as mentioned by Winnebago's CEO, can provide a foundation for future growth. The company's focus on customer-centric design and affordable technology aligns with consumer preferences for value and experience. However, the ability to convert these strengths into financial success will hinge on macroeconomic factors and consumer confidence in discretionary spending.

Economist

The economic environment characterized by higher interest rates has a direct impact on industries like RV and marine, where products are often financed through loans. The softness in these markets, as reported by Winnebago, is a consequence of consumers' reduced purchasing power and increased cost of borrowing. The company's variable cost structure is a strategic advantage in such times, allowing for some flexibility in managing costs relative to revenue.

From an economic perspective, the RV and marine industries are cyclical, with demand closely tied to the health of the broader economy. Winnebago's performance, therefore, serves as an economic indicator, suggesting that we may be in a down cycle for these luxury goods. The company's future growth targets, while ambitious, must be weighed against the potential for continued economic headwinds, such as persistent inflation or further interest rate hikes, which could prolong the industry's recovery.

The refinancing of convertible senior notes indicates confidence from creditors in Winnebago's long-term viability and provides the company with liquidity to navigate the current economic climate. However, it also adds to the company's debt burden, which could impact future financial flexibility, especially if the market downturn persists longer than anticipated.

CEO Commentary
“Winnebago Industries performed in line with our expectations for the quarter, navigating the effects of ongoing softness in the RV and marine markets,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Happe. “As anticipated, wholesale shipments were constrained in the quarter, as dealers continued to closely manage inventory levels amid a higher interest rate environment and seasonal demand trends. Despite these macroeconomic challenges, we continue to demonstrate resilient profitability and an unwavering commitment to operational discipline that is reflected in the Company’s diversified portfolio of premium brands, investments in new products and technologies, and healthy balance sheet.”

“Purposeful innovation remains a core driver of our growth strategy, delivering customer-centric design and thoughtful, affordable technology to delight customers,” Happe continued. “In recent months we have introduced new models and features across our motorized and towable RV portfolios, enabling Winnebago, Grand Design RV and Newmar to further enhance our customers’ ability to be great outdoors. On the marine side, Chris-Craft recently launched a special 150th anniversary edition of its iconic Launch 27, while our Barletta brand continues to expand its product reach as the industry’s fastest-growing pontoon business.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
Revenues were $703.6 million, a decrease of 18.8% compared to $866.7 million for the comparable fiscal 2023 period, driven by lower unit sales related to market conditions and unfavorable product mix.

Gross profit was $105.3 million, a decrease of 28.3% compared to $146.8 million for the fiscal 2023 period. Gross profit margin decreased 190 basis points in the quarter to 15.0% as a result of deleverage and higher warranty experience compared to prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $64.2 million, a decrease of 3.0% compared to $66.2 million in the second quarter of last year, driven by lower incentive-based compensation.

Operating income was $35.4 million, a decrease of 53.8% compared to $76.8 million for the second quarter of last year.

Net loss was $12.7 million, compared to net income of $52.8 million in the prior year quarter. Reported net loss per share was $0.43, compared to reported earnings per diluted share of $1.52 in the same period last year. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 included a charge of $32.7 million, or $1.12 per share, attributable to the loss on repurchase of a significant portion of our 2025 convertible senior notes. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.93, a decrease of 50.5% compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.88 in the same period last year.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $49.8 million, a decrease of 43.7%, compared to $88.4 million last year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of February 24, 2024, the Company had total outstanding debt of $694.8 million ($709.3 million of debt, net of debt issuance costs of $14.5 million) and working capital of $649.0 million. Cash flow provided by operations was $25.2 million in the Fiscal 2024 second quarter. During the quarter, Winnebago Industries completed a $350 million offering of convertible senior notes for refinancing 2025 maturities. The successful refinancing of its convertible senior notes underscores the Company’s strong operating performance and credit profile, and provides financial flexibility for future growth.

Future Mid-Cycle Organic Growth Targets
Winnebago Industries today announced future mid-cycle organic growth targets. These targets leverage the strength of the Company’s operating model, product innovation and business diversification, as well as the long-term secular growth trends driving consumer demand across the outdoor recreation markets. Market assumptions underlying the financial targets include North American RV retail volume at a mid-cycle, fiscal year range of 425,000 to 450,000 units and U.S. aluminum pontoon retail volume at a mid-cycle, fiscal year range of 60,000 to 63,000 units. The Company expects:

• Net revenues of $4.5 billion to $5.0 billion

• Gross margin of 18.0% to 18.5%

• Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.0% to 11.5%⁽²⁾

• Free cash flow of $325 million to $375 million^(2,3)

• North American RV market share of more than 13%

• U.S. aluminum pontoon market share of 13%

• Organic non-RV revenue mix representing 15% to 20% of total revenue
  

“Interest in the RV and boating lifestyles remains strong, creating a secular tailwind that supports the anticipated long-term growth of our portfolio of exceptional brands and aligns with our vision to be the trusted leader in premium outdoor recreation,” Happe said. “As we enter the second half of fiscal 2024, we are encouraged by data indicating that RV inventory levels are returning to an equilibrium stage, though we remain aggressive in managing production output and overall costs in a targeted manner. Looking ahead, we will continue to rely on our flexible, high-variable cost structure to drive improved operating leverage, while capitalizing on innovation, product line expansion, channel partnerships, and operational excellence to achieve our future mid-cycle organic growth targets.”

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 (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 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.
