CEO Commentary
“Fiscal 2026 highlighted the resilience of our portfolio and the disciplined execution of our teams in a persistently challenging retail environment,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Happe. “By maintaining focus on the factors within our control, including product innovation, operational improvements and deliberate production and inventory management, we continued to strengthen our brands and position the portfolio for long-term growth.
“Even as market pressure across our segments persisted, we began to see encouraging early signs across several strategic initiatives: real traction in the Winnebago Motorhome transformation, stabilizing share trends and improving market share at Grand Design Towables, growing market penetration for Grand Design Motorized, and impressive share growth at Winnebago Towables,” Happe said. “We took actions to rationalize capacity, drive operational efficiency, and better align our manufacturing footprint with market demand. These initiatives remain at different stages of development, and we expect their financial contribution to build gradually, with greater value accruing in future years. Together with the strong continued growth of Barletta's market presence in pontoons and our growing portable power offerings, this progress reinforces our confidence in the long-term earnings potential of our portfolio.
"At multiple retail, trade, and dealer meeting events in September, we demonstrated the breadth of our portfolio with new offerings across brands, product categories and price points. Dealer feedback was encouraging and reinforced that the investments we've made around both innovation and affordability are well aligned with evolving consumer preferences, positioning us to capitalize on opportunities within our control while continuing to elevate the ownership experience."
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
Net revenues were $645.1 million, a decrease of 17.0% compared to $777.3 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower unit volume and product mix, partially offset by selective price adjustments.
Gross profit was $80.7 million, a decrease of 18.6% compared to $99.2 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025. Gross profit margin decreased 30 basis points in the quarter to 12.5%, primarily due to volume deleverage, partially offset by operational efficiencies from Motorhome segment transformation initiatives.
Operating expenses were $63.1 million, a decrease of 20.1% compared to $79.1 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, primarily due to cost reduction initiatives.
Operating income was $17.6 million, a decrease of 12.3% compared to $20.1 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025.
Net income was $9.7 million, compared to $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025.

Full Year Fiscal 2026 Results
Net revenues were $2.7 billion, a decrease of 3.4% compared to $2.8 billion in Fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower unit volume, partially offset by selective price adjustments and product mix.
Gross profit was $350.2 million, a decrease of 4.1% compared to $365.1 million in Fiscal 2025. Gross profit margin remained consistent year-over-year at 13.0% as volume deleverage was largely offset by selective price adjustments.
Operating expenses were $284.0 million, compared to $307.9 million in Fiscal 2025. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by costs to support the growth of the Grand Design Motorhome business.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At the end of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $181.4 million compared to $57.1 million at the end of the Fiscal 2026 third quarter and $174.0 million at the end of Fiscal 2025. Total outstanding debt was $443.3 million, which included $450.0 million of debt, net of issuance costs of $6.7 million. Working capital improved to $419.1 million, reflecting disciplined balance sheet management and stronger operating efficiency. Cash flow provided by operations was $142.5 million in the Fiscal 2026 fourth quarter. Net leverage was 2.2x at the end of the Fiscal 2026 fourth quarter, down from 3.0x at the end of the third quarter, reflecting strong cash generation and continued progress in strengthening our leverage position.
Quarterly Cash Dividend and Share Repurchases
On August 12, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 3% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.36 per share. The dividend was paid on September 23, 2026, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2026.
“Fiscal 2026 also reflected the strength of our balance sheet and disciplined approach to capital allocation,” Happe said. “The renewal and extension of our $350 million revolving credit facility through 2031 and the Board's decision to increase the quarterly dividend underscore our confidence in the business and long-term strategy. Supported by solid operating cash flow, improved working-capital performance and lower year-end leverage, we exited the year with a stronger balance sheet and the flexibility to continue investing in innovation, operations and customer experience."
Outlook
For calendar year 2026, Winnebago Industries now expects North American RV wholesale shipments in the range of 275,000 to 295,000 units. For calendar year 2027, Winnebago Industries anticipates total North American RV wholesale shipments in the range of 265,000 to 295,000 units. Based on this outlook and the current business environment, in Fiscal 2027 the Company expects:
- Consolidated net revenues in the range of $2.65 to $2.80 billion;
- Reported earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.90 to $1.50; and
- Adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.65 to $2.25(2)
The Company’s outlook takes into account prevailing trends in the RV sector, including the impacts from current policy and trade environment, competitive dynamics, shifts in consumer preferences, and key macroeconomic factors that may influence overall demand.
“Fiscal 2027 outlook reflects a market where the timing and pace of recovery remain difficult to predict,” Happe said. “We will stay focused on serving our customer and dealers at high levels, delivering differentiated products that consumers value and continuing to strengthen our operational efficiency and discipline. The progress we made in fiscal 2026 gives us a stronger operating foundation to manage near-term volatility and capitalize on opportunities as they emerge."

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.
