Principal Products
Our operations are organized into three reportable segments, Towable RV, Motorhome RV, and Marine, based on similarities within their markets, products, operations and distributions.

Towable RV
A towable RV is a non-motorized vehicle that is designed to be towed by automobiles, pickup trucks, SUVs, or vans and is used primarily as temporary living quarters during vacation and camping trips, or to support active and mobile lifestyles. The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association ("RVIA") classifies towable RVs into six types: conventional travel trailers, fifth wheels, travel trailers with expandable ends, folding camping trailers, truck campers, and park models. We manufacture and sell conventional travel trailers and fifth wheels under the Winnebago and Grand Design brand names, which are defined as follows:
TypeDescriptionWinnebago product offeringsGrand Design product offerings
Travel trailerTowed by means of a hitch attached to the frame of the vehicleAccess, Micro Minnie, and ThriveFoundation, Imagine, Momentum, Reflection, Serenova, and Transcend
Fifth wheelConstructed with a raised forward section that is connected to the vehicle with a special fifth wheel hitchN/AInfluence, Momentum, Reflection, and Solitude

Our travel trailer and fifth wheel towable RVs are sold by dealers in the retail market with manufacturer's suggested retail prices ranging from approximately $23,000 to $204,000, which can vary depending on size and model, plus optional equipment and delivery charges. Our towable RVs range in length from 16 to 49 feet.

Towable RV parts and service activities represent revenues generated by service work we perform for retail customers at our Elkhart, Indiana and Middlebury, Indiana facilities as well as revenues from the sale of unit parts. Our competitive strategy is to provide proprietary manufactured parts through our dealer network, which we believe increases customer satisfaction and the value of our towable RVs.

Motorhome RV
A motorhome RV is a self-propelled mobile dwelling used primarily as temporary living quarters during vacation and camping trips, or to support active and mobile lifestyles. The RVIA classifies motorhome RVs into three types, all of which we manufacture and sell under the Winnebago, Newmar, and Grand Design brand names, which are defined as follows:

TypeDescriptionWinnebago product offeringsNewmar product offeringsGrand Design product offerings
Class ABuilt on a heavy truck chassis in both diesel and gas models with the ability to tow a small vehicleN/ABay Star, Canyon Star, Dutch Star, Essex, King Aire, London Aire, Mountain Aire, New Aire, Northern Star, and VentanaN/A
Class BBuilt by adding a taller roof and amenities to an existing van in both diesel and gas models, which allows for easy maneuveringRevel, Solis, and TravatoN/ALineage Series VT and Lineage Series VP
Class CBuilt on a medium truck chassis in both diesel and gas models with similar features and amenities to Class A modelsARKA, EKKO, Elora, Navion, Resa, Suncruiser, Sunflyer, and ViewFreedom Aire, Grand Star, Summit Aire, Super Star, and Supreme AireLineage Series F and Lineage Series M

Our Class A, Class B, and Class C motorhome RVs are sold by dealers in the retail market with manufacturer's suggested retail prices ranging from approximately $134,000 to $1,893,000, which can vary depending on size and model, plus optional equipment and delivery charges. Our motorhome RVs range in length from approximately 18 to 45 feet.

Motorhome RV parts and service activities represent revenues generated by service work we perform for retail customers at our Forest City, Iowa, Nappanee, Indiana, and Elkhart, Indiana facilities as well as revenues from the sale of unit parts. Our competitive strategy is to provide proprietary manufactured parts through our dealer network, which we believe increases customer satisfaction and the value of our motorhome RVs.

Marine
We manufacture and sell premium quality recreational boats under our Chris-Craft and Barletta brands through an established network of independent authorized dealers.

TypeChris-Craft product offeringsBarletta product offerings
BoatsCalypso, Catalina, Corsair, Launch, Launch GT, and SportsterAria, Cabrio, Halcyon, Lusso, Lusso Twin, Reserve, Reserve Leggera, and Sanza

Our boats are sold by dealers in the retail market with manufacturer's suggested retail prices ranging from approximately $33,000 to $893,000, which can vary depending on size and model, plus optional equipment and delivery charges. Our boats range in length from approximately 19 to 35 feet.

Winnebago Specialty Vehicles
We manufacture specialty commercial vehicles custom-designed for the buyer's specific needs and requirements, such as law enforcement command centers, mobile medical clinics, and mobile office space. We also provide commercial vehicles as bare shells to third-party upfitters for conversion at their facilities. These specialty commercial vehicles are manufactured in Forest City, Iowa and sold through our dealer network.

Production
We generally produce towable RVs, motorhome RVs, and marine products made to order for dealers. We have some ability to increase our capacity by scheduling overtime and/or hiring additional production employees or to decrease our capacity through the use of shortened work weeks and/or reducing head count. We have long been known as an industry leader in innovation as each year we introduce new or redesigned products. These changes generally include new floor plans, features, functionality, and sizes as well as design and decor modifications. Most of our raw materials such as steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and wood products are obtainable from numerous sources.

Our towable RVs are currently produced at two assembly campuses located in Indiana, with plans to reduce to one campus during Fiscal 2027. The majority of components are comprised of frames, appliances, and furniture, and are purchased from multiple suppliers.

Our motorhome RVs are currently produced in the states of Iowa and Indiana at four different assembly campuses, with plans to reduce to three campuses during Fiscal 2027. Our motorhome RV business utilizes vertically integrated supply streams, with the principal exceptions being chassis, engines, generators, and appliances that we purchase from multiple suppliers. Certain parts, especially motorhome RV chassis, are available from a small group of suppliers.

Our marine products are produced in the states of Indiana and Florida at two different assembly campuses. We manufacture certain components and purchase other components from suppliers and install them on the boat. Certain parts, especially motors, are available from a small group of suppliers.

Distribution and Financing
We distribute our RV and marine products primarily through independent dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada, who then retail the products to the end consumer. We also distribute our marine products internationally through independent dealers, who then retail the products to the end consumer. Foreign sales accounted for less than 10% of net revenues during each of the past three fiscal years.
As of August 29, 2026, our RV and marine dealer network in the U.S. and Canada included over 750 physical dealer locations, many of which carry more than one of our brands. None of our dealer organizations accounted for more than 10% of our net revenues during each of the past three fiscal years.

We have sales and service agreements with most dealers, which are subject to annual review. Many of the dealers are also engaged in other areas of business, including the sale of automobiles, trailers, or boats, and most dealers carry one or more competitive lines of products. We continue to place high emphasis on the capability of our dealers to provide complete service for our products. Dealers are obligated to provide full service for owners of our products or, in lieu thereof, to secure such service from other authorized providers.

We advertise and promote our products through national trade magazines, product brochures, the Go RVing national advertising campaign sponsored by RVIA, our websites, social media, direct-mail advertising campaigns, various national promotional opportunities, and on a local basis through trade shows, television, radio, and newspapers, primarily in connection with area dealers.

Sales to dealers are made primarily on cash terms. Most dealers 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 merchandise purchased. As is customary in the industries we serve, we typically enter into a repurchase agreement with a lending institution financing a dealer's purchase of our product upon the lending institution's request and after completion of a credit check of the dealer involved. Our repurchase agreements provide that, for up to 18 months after an RV unit is financed and up to 24 months after a marine unit is financed, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution and repossession of the unit(s) by the lending institution, we will repurchase the financed merchandise from the lender at the amount then due, which is often less than dealer invoice. Our maximum exposure for repurchases can vary significantly, depending upon the level of dealer inventory, general economic conditions, demand for our products, dealer location, and access to and the cost of financing. See Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for more information.

Competition
The RV and marine markets are highly competitive with many other manufacturers selling products which compete directly with our products. Some of our competitors are much larger than us, most notably in the towable RV market, which may provide these competitors additional purchasing power. The competition in our industries is based upon design, price, quality, features, and service of the products. We believe our principal competitive advantages are our brand strength, product differentiation, product quality, and our service after the sale. We also believe that our products have historically commanded a price premium as a result of these competitive advantages.

Table of Contents
Seasonality
The primary use of RVs and marine products for leisure travel and outdoor recreation has historically led to a peak retail selling season concentrated in the spring and summer months and lower sales during fall and winter months. Our sales are generally influenced by this pattern in retail sales, but sales can also be impacted by the level of dealer inventory. As a result, our sales are historically lowest during our second fiscal quarter, which ends in February.

Governmental Regulations
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local, and, to a limited extent, international laws and regulations, including the federal Motor Vehicle Act ("MVA"), under which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") may require manufacturers to recall RVs that contain safety-related defects, and numerous state consumer protection laws and regulations relating to the operation of motor vehicles, including so-called "Lemon Laws." The Boat Safety Act of 1971 has similar safety-related recall requirements for marine units. In addition, marine units sold in the U.S. and Europe must meet the certification standards of the U.S. Coast Guard and the European Community, respectively.

We are also subject to regulations established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"). Our facilities are periodically inspected by federal and state agencies, such as OSHA. We are a member of RVIA, a voluntary association of RV manufacturers, which promulgates RV safety standards. We place an RVIA seal on each of our RVs to certify that the RVIA standards have been met. We believe that our products and facilities comply in all material respects with the applicable vehicle safety, consumer protection, RVIA, and OSHA regulations and standards.

Our operations are subject to a variety of federal and state environmental laws and regulations relating to the use, generation, storage, treatment, emission, labeling, and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes, and noise pollution. We believe that we are currently in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations in all material aspects.

Trademarks
Our products are marketed under a variety of valuable trademarks. Some of the more important trademarks used in our business include Winnebago, Grand Design, Newmar, Chris-Craft, Barletta, and Lithionics. We protect these trademarks as appropriate through registrations in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Depending on jurisdiction, trademarks are generally valid as long as they are in use or their registrations are properly maintained and they have not been found to have become generic. Registrations of trademarks can also generally be renewed indefinitely for as long as the trademarks are in use.

We continue our focus on developing, assembling, and marketing innovative, proprietary products, many of which use proprietary expertise, trade secrets, and know-how. We consider the collective rights under our various patents, which expire from time to time, a valuable asset, but we do not believe that our businesses are materially dependent upon any single patent or group of related patents.

Human Capital Management
One of our core values is to put people first. Our employees are our greatest strength and we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, high-performance culture where our people thrive. We strive to recruit, develop, engage and protect our workforce. The following are key human capital measures and objectives that we currently focus on:

Investment in Talent Development & Employee Experience
Our people are at the heart of our success, and we are committed to creating a workplace where employees can learn, grow and thrive. We invest in talent development programs, leadership training, and career growth opportunities that help employees build skills, advance their careers, and make meaningful contributions across our organization.

We promote a culture built on shared leadership expectations, strong values, and a commitment to ethical behavior, respect, and inclusion. Through ongoing learning, development, and coaching, we strive to equip employees and leaders with the tools they need to succeed.

We also support the future of our workforce by partnering with local organizations and educational institutions to introduce early career talent to opportunities within our industries. These efforts help develop future leaders while strengthening the pipeline of skilled talent.

Listening to employees is an important part of how we improve. Through engagement surveys and ongoing feedback, we gain insights that help us enhance the employee experience, strengthen our culture, and support employee growth and retention. By investing in our people and fostering an environment of accountability, development, and high performance, we position both our employees and our company for long-term success.

As of August 29, 2026, we employed approximately 5,000 persons, of which approximately 21% and 79% were salaried and hourly employees, respectively. None of our employees are covered under a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our relations with our employees are good.

Commitment to Inclusion and Belonging
We believe in fostering a workplace and community where every person feels welcome, is treated fairly, and has an equal opportunity to succeed while feeling respected and valued for their unique perspectives and experiences. We continue to prioritize belonging across our workplace, our communities, and the outdoors through listening, learning, and employee engagement. To support an inclusive culture, we continued our Leadership Speaker Series, which provides employees with insights, tools, and resources from subject matter experts aligned with our leadership expectations. We also continued to grow our employee resource groups (ERGs), which are open to all employees across our brands.
We believe time spent outdoors is valuable and seek to serve and engage a broad range of outdoor enthusiasts through our brands, products, and community partnerships. By fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and belonging, we seek to create an environment where employees can contribute, grow, and do their best work while helping drive our long-term success.

Employee Well-being and Safety
At Winnebago Industries, the health, safety, and well-being of our employees are central to our culture and long-term success. We recognize that people are fallible and focus on creating systems, processes, and workplaces that anticipate human error and reduce the potential for harm. Our approach emphasizes the hierarchy of controls, prevention of serious injuries and fatalities, proactive identification of hazards, and leadership encouragement to continually learn and improve. We also support employees’ mental, emotional, and physical well-being through resources addressing health and family needs, including access to on-site and virtual healthcare services. In Fiscal 2026, we celebrated our fourth annual Safety Month under the theme “Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) Prevention” and continued the tradition of the CEO Safety Awards, recognizing business safety leaders along with innovative ideas that improved safety, efficiency, and quality. We continue to invest in workplace safety initiatives and our commitment to safety never stops.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Described below are certain risks that we believe apply to our business and the industries in which we operate. The following risk factors should be considered carefully in addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks and uncertainties highlighted represent the most significant risk factors that we believe may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or access to sources of financing, and, consequently, the market value of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not exclusive and other risk factors that we may consider immaterial or do not anticipate may emerge as significant risks and uncertainties.

Macroeconomic Risks
Our business may be sensitive to economic conditions, including those that impact consumer spending.
Companies within the RV and marine industries are subject to volatility in operating results due primarily to general economic conditions because the purchase of an RV or marine product is often viewed as a consumer discretionary purchase. Demand for discretionary goods in general can fluctuate with recessionary conditions, slow or negative economic growth rates, negative consumer confidence, reduced consumer spending levels resulting from tax increases or other factors, prolonged high unemployment rates, higher commodity and component costs, fuel prices, inflationary or deflationary pressures, reduced credit availability or unfavorable credit terms for dealers and end-user customers, higher short-term interest rates, changes in trade policy, including tariffs, and general economic and political conditions and expectations. In addition, geopolitical events, including ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, have contributed to disruptions in global energy supply, significant increases in fuel prices, and sustained inflationary pressures that may delay or reduce anticipated interest rate relief, any of which could further suppress consumer demand for discretionary products such as RVs and marine products. Specific macroeconomic factors affecting the RV and marine industries include:

•Overall consumer confidence and the level of discretionary consumer spending;
•Inflationary pressures affecting disposable consumer income;
•Interest rate fluctuations;
•Employment trends;
•Fuel prices, including sudden or significant increases resulting from geopolitical events affecting global energy supply;
•The adverse impact of global tensions on consumer spending and travel-related activities; and
•The adverse impact on margins due to increases in raw material costs, which we are unable to pass on to customers without negatively affecting sales.

Such conditions may also cause consumers to delay, reduce or forgo purchases of our products and may lead dealers to reduce inventory levels, delay replenishment orders, increase promotional activity or otherwise reduce purchases from us. Any significant decline in retail demand or dealer orders could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Credit market deterioration and volatility may restrict the ability of our dealers and retail customers to finance the purchase of our products.
Our business is affected by the availability and terms of financing to dealers. Generally, RV and marine dealers finance their purchases of inventory with financing provided by lending institutions. A reduction in the availability of wholesale floorplan financing, or more restrictive lending practices, could have an adverse impact on our independent dealers and therefore our results of operations. In addition, an increase in the cost of financing due to interest rate fluctuations may incentivize dealers to reduce field inventory levels, which could negatively impact our sales and profitability. As of August 29, 2026, one financial flooring institution held approximately 33% of our total outstanding financed dealer inventory dollars. In the event that this lending institution limits or discontinues dealer financing, we could experience an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business is also affected by the availability and terms of financing to retail purchasers. Retail buyers purchasing one of our products from our dealers may elect to finance their purchase through the dealership or a financial institution of their choice. Substantial increases in interest rates or decreases in the availability of consumer credit may have an adverse impact upon our business and results of operations.

Industry Risks
The industries in which we operate are highly competitive. Failure to compete effectively against competitors could negatively impact our business and operating results.
The markets for RVs and marine products are very competitive. Competitive factors in the industries include price, design, value, quality, service, brand awareness, and reputation. We believe our products have historically commanded a price premium based on our brand strength, product differentiation, product quality, and service after the sale. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain these competitive advantages or the price premiums associated with them, or that existing or new competitors will not develop products that are superior to our products or that achieve better consumer acceptance, thereby adversely affecting our market share, sales volume, and profit margins. Competitors may also seek an advantage through lower prices or promotional changes, which could reduce demand for our products or adversely affect our margins. Some of our competitors are much larger than we are, and this size advantage provides these competitors with more financial resources and access to capital, additional purchasing power, and greater leverage with the dealer networks. In addition, competition could increase if new companies enter the market, existing competitors consolidate their operations, or if existing competitors expand their product lines or intensify efforts within existing product lines. Our current products, products under development, and our ability to develop new and improved products may be insufficient to enable us to compete effectively with our competitors. These competitive pressures may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

If we are unable to continue to enhance existing products and develop and market new or enhanced products that respond to customer needs and preferences, we may experience a decrease in demand for our products and our business could suffer.
One of our growth strategies is to develop innovative, customer-valued products to generate revenue growth. Consumer preferences are evolving at an accelerating pace, driven by changing demographics, economic uncertainty and rapid advances in technology. Our ability to accurately detect and respond to these shifts in a timely manner is critical to maintaining market relevance. Product improvements and new product introductions require significant research, planning, design, development, engineering, and testing, and we may not be able to develop and introduce product improvements or new products timely. Our competitors' new products may beat our products to market, be higher quality or more reliable, be more effective with more features, or be less expensive than our products. Any new products that we develop may not receive market acceptance or otherwise generate meaningful net sales or profits relative to our expectations based on, among other things, existing and anticipated investments in manufacturing capacity and commitments to fund advertising, marketing, promotional programs, and research and development. If our market sensing capabilities do not keep pace with the speed of change, or if competitors that may be more agile than us are better able to capitalize on these changing preferences, we may be unable to develop products that effectively meet evolving customer needs, which could result in decreased demand for our products and adversely affect our market share, brand equity, net sales, and profitability.

If we are unable to properly forecast future demand of our products, our operating results may be negatively impacted.
Our ability to manage our inventory levels to meet our customers' demand for our products is important for our business. We generally produce our towable RV, motorhome RV, and marine products on a made-to-order basis for our dealers, which means our production volumes are closely tied to incoming dealer orders and we maintain limited finished goods backlog. For example, certain dealers are focused on the rental market where demand typically spikes over the summer vacation period while other dealers are focused on direct sales to the consumer at various price points. Our production levels and inventory management are based on demand estimates six to twelve months forward, taking into account supply lead times, production capacity, timing of shipments, and dealer inventory levels. A reduction, cancellation, or deferral of dealer orders could result in underutilization of production capacity and increased per-unit costs. If we overestimate or underestimate demand for any of our products during a given season, we may not maintain appropriate inventory levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Seasonal demand patterns result in fluctuations in our sales and net income.
Seasonal factors, over which we have no control, have an effect on the demand for our products. Demand in the RV and marine industries generally declines over the winter season, while sales are generally highest during the spring and summer months. Consequently, the results for any prior period may not be indicative of results for any future period. Also, unusually severe weather conditions may impact demand or disrupt our manufacturing and distribution facilities, as well as our supply chain, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Our business depends on the performance and financial condition of independent dealers.
We distribute our RV and marine products primarily through independent dealers across the U.S. and Canada, who then retail the products to the end consumer. We also distribute our marine products internationally through independent dealers, who then retail the products to the end consumer. We rely on our dealers to develop and implement effective strategies to create retail demand for our products and to provide quality post-sale service and support. If our independent dealers are unsuccessful in doing so, or if their service capabilities do not meet customer expectations, it could adversely affect customer satisfaction, brand reputation, and our results of operations.

Table of Contents
Our success is dependent on our ability to attract new dealers and maintain relationships with existing dealers. Our independent dealers maintain control over which products they carry and choose to sell, and they may promote other products, or terminate existing relationships if our products are not perceived as being desirable and profitable. Our results of operations can be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain and develop successful relationships with independent dealers.

The financial condition of independent dealers is affected in large part by conditions and events that are beyond our control. Significant deterioration in the financial condition of independent dealers could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

An increase in dealer consolidation or the loss of a significant dealer could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The RV industry has experienced increasing consolidation among dealership groups in recent years. Although no dealer organization accounted for more than 10% of our net revenues during each of the past three fiscal years, continued consolidation may result in a greater percentage of industry sales being controlled by a smaller number of large dealer groups. Larger dealer organizations may possess increased negotiating leverage with respect to pricing, inventory levels, promotional programs, floorplan support, payment terms, and other commercial arrangements. In addition, increased dealer concentration could make us more dependent on a smaller number of customers and increase our exposure to changes in dealer purchasing decisions, inventory management strategies, financial condition or business priorities. The loss of a significant dealer relationship or a significant reduction in purchases by a major dealer group could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

If we are obligated to repurchase a substantially larger number of our products in the future than estimated due to dealer default, these purchases could result in adverse effects on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
In accordance with customary practice in our industries, upon request we enter into formal repurchase agreements with lending institutions financing a dealer's purchase of our products. In these repurchase agreements we agree, in the event of a default by an independent dealer in its obligation to a lender and repossession of the unit(s) by the lending institution, to repurchase units at declining prices over the term of the agreements, which can last up to 24 months. The difference between the gross repurchase price and the price at which the repurchased product can then be resold, which is typically at a discount to the gross repurchase price, represents a potential expense to us. In certain instances, we also repurchase inventory from our dealers due to state law or regulatory requirements that govern voluntary or involuntary terminations. If we are obligated to repurchase a substantially larger number of units in the future than we estimate, this would increase our costs and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Operational Risks
For some of the components used in production, we depend on a small group of suppliers and the loss of any of these suppliers could affect our ability to obtain components timely or at competitive prices, which would decrease our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Most of our RV and marine components are readily available from numerous sources. However, a few of our components are produced by a small group of suppliers. In Fiscal 2026, one of our suppliers individually accounted for approximately 12% of our consolidated raw material purchases. In the case of motorhome RV chassis, Mercedes-Benz (USA and Canada), Stellantis N.V., Freightliner Trucks, Ford Motor Company, and Spartan RV Chassis are our major suppliers. Our relationship with our chassis suppliers is generally similar to our other supplier relationships in that no specific contractual commitments are engaged in by either party, although in certain cases we may enter into supply arrangements that include minimum purchase commitments. Our chassis suppliers also supply to our competitors. Historically, chassis suppliers resort to an industry-wide allocation system during periods when supply is restricted. These allocations have been based on the volume of chassis previously purchased, which could mean our larger competitors could receive more chassis in a time of scarcity. Sales of motorhome RVs rely on chassis supply and are affected by shortages, instability, or recalls from time to time. Within our marine businesses, we purchase a significant portion of our motors from Mercury Marine, which makes us reliant on them for the supply of these engines. If we experience delays and disruptions in obtaining these engines, we may be unable to fulfill orders and deliver our products to our customers in a timely manner. In addition, consolidation among our suppliers could reduce the number of alternative sources available to us, increase our dependence on fewer suppliers, and limit our ability to negotiate favorable pricing or terms. Furthermore, decisions by our suppliers to decrease production or increase prices, production delays or work stoppages by the employees of such suppliers, or financial distress, including bankruptcy or insolvency, of one or more key suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our ability to produce our products and ultimately on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Our operations are primarily centered in northern Iowa and northern Indiana. Any disruption or delay at our primary manufacturing facilities could adversely affect our business and operating results.
We currently manufacture most of our products in northern Iowa and northern Indiana. We also maintain smaller manufacturing operations on the Gulf Coast of Florida. As a result, our manufacturing footprint remains concentrated in a limited number of geographic regions and is subject to risks associated with natural disasters, severe weather events, utility outages, labor disruptions and other external events that could affect one or more of these locations. Such events could impair manufacturing, reduce workforce availability, disrupt transportation networks and supplier operations, delay deliveries to customers, and increase operating costs. In the event that one of our manufacturing facilities was affected by a disaster or other event, we could be forced to shift production to one of our other manufacturing facilities or to cease operations. Our ability to respond effectively to such events depends on the adequacy of our crisis and emergency management procedures, including escalation protocols and coordination across facilities. Although we maintain insurance for damage to our property and disruption of our business from casualties, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses. Any disruption in our manufacturing capacity could have an adverse impact on our ability to produce sufficient inventory of our products or may require us to incur additional expenses in order to produce sufficient inventory, and therefore, may adversely affect our net sales and operating results.

Unanticipated changes to our dealer inventory levels could negatively impact our operating results.
We sell many of our products through our independent dealer network and are subject to risks relating to their inventory management decisions and operational and sourcing practices. Our dealers carry inventories of our products as part of their ongoing operations and adjust those inventories based on their assessments of future needs. Such adjustments may impact our inventory management and working capital goals as well as operating results. If the inventory levels of our dealers are higher than they desire, they may postpone product purchases from us, which could cause our sales to be lower than the end-user retail demand for our products and negatively impact our inventory management and working capital goals as well as our operating results.

Increases in raw material, commodity, and transportation costs and shortages of certain raw materials could negatively impact our business.
We purchase raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and other commodities, and components, such as chassis, refrigerators, and televisions, for use in our products. In addition, we are a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including steel, aluminum, copper, lead, rubber, lumber, and others that are integrated into our end products. Our profitability is affected by significant fluctuations in the prices of the raw materials and the components and parts we use in our products. Changes in trade policy, including tariffs, have also increased our sourcing costs, as discussed further under "Changes in trade policy, including tariffs, may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition." All of these conditions could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, increases in other costs of doing business may also adversely affect our profit margins and businesses. For example, an increase in fuel costs may result in an increase in our transportation costs, which also could adversely affect our operating results and businesses. Historically, we have mitigated cost increases, in part, by collaborating with suppliers, reviewing alternative sourcing options, substituting materials, engaging in internal cost reduction efforts, and increasing prices on some of our products, all as appropriate. However, we may not be able to mitigate such increased costs in the future. Further, if our price increases are not accepted by our customers and the market, our net sales, profit margins, earnings, and market share could be adversely affected.

Changes in trade policy, including tariffs, may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our business is subject to risks arising from changes in U.S. and foreign trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs, trade sanctions, import and export restrictions, and retaliatory measures by foreign governments. In recent periods, the U.S. government has imposed significant tariffs on imported goods under various legal authorities, including Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") and Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed under IEEPA, and the administration subsequently reimposed tariffs under alternative legal authority, creating continued uncertainty regarding the scope, duration, and legal basis of current and future tariff actions.

We source certain raw materials, components, and finished goods from countries subject to these tariff actions, including China, Mexico, and Canada. Tariffs on these imports have increased our cost of goods sold, and additional or increased tariffs could further raise our costs in ways that we may be unable to fully offset through price increases, supplier diversification, or other mitigation strategies, particularly in the short term. If we are unable to effectively manage the impact of tariffs and trade policy changes on our business, our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to effectively manage strategic acquisitions and alliances, joint ventures, or partnerships could have a negative impact on our business.
One of our growth strategies is to drive growth through targeted acquisitions and alliances, stronger customer relations, and new joint ventures and partnerships that contribute profitable growth while supplementing our existing brands and product portfolio. Our ability to grow through acquisitions depends, in part, on the availability of suitable candidates at acceptable prices, terms, and conditions, our ability to compete effectively for acquisition candidates, and the availability of capital and personnel to complete such acquisitions and run the acquired business effectively. Any acquisition, alliance, joint venture, or partnership could impair our business, financial condition, reputation, and operating results. The benefits of an acquisition, or new alliance, joint venture, or partnership may take more time than expected to develop or integrate into our operations, and we cannot guarantee that previous or future acquisitions, alliances, joint ventures, or partnerships will, in fact, produce any benefits. Such acquisitions, alliances, joint ventures, and partnerships may involve a number of risks, including:

•Diversion of management’s attention;
•Disruption to our existing operations and plans;
•Inability to effectively manage our expanded operations;
•Difficulties or delays in integrating and assimilating information and financial systems, operations, and products of an acquired business or other business venture or in realizing projected efficiencies, growth prospects, cost savings, and synergies;
•Inability to successfully integrate or develop a distribution channel for acquired product lines;
•Potential loss of key employees, customers, distributors, or dealers of the acquired businesses or adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers, customers, distributors, and dealers;
•Adverse impact on overall profitability, if our expanded operations do not achieve the financial results projected in our valuation model;
•Inaccurate assessment of additional post-acquisition or business venture investments, undisclosed, contingent or other liabilities or problems, unanticipated costs associated with an acquisition or other business venture, and an inability to recover or manage such liabilities and costs; and
•Incorrect estimates made in the accounting for acquisitions, occurrence of non-recurring charges, and write-off of significant amounts of goodwill or other assets that could adversely affect our operating results.

If we fail to identify, attract, and retain appropriately qualified employees, including employees in key positions, our operations and profitability may be harmed. Changes in market compensation rates may adversely affect our profitability.
Our ability to meet our strategic objectives and otherwise grow our business will depend to a significant extent on the continued contributions of our leadership team. Our future success will also depend in large part on our ability to identify, attract, and retain other highly qualified managerial, technical, sales and marketing, operations, and customer service personnel. Competition for these individuals in our manufacturing markets is intense, and supply is limited. Since we operate in a competitive labor market, there is a risk that market increases in compensation could have an adverse effect on our business. We may not succeed in identifying, attracting, or retaining qualified personnel on a cost-effective basis. In addition, we rely on our ability to adjust production capacity through overtime, additional hiring, shortened work weeks, and headcount reductions in response to changes in demand. Labor shortages, wage inflation, or an inability to hire or reduce production employees in a timely and cost-effective manner could limit our operational flexibility and adversely affect our ability to respond to market conditions. The loss or interruption of services of any of our key personnel, inability to identify, attract, or retain qualified personnel in the future, delays in hiring qualified personnel, or any employee work slowdowns, strikes, or similar actions could make it difficult for us to conduct and manage our business and meet key objectives, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Significant product repair and/or replacement costs due to product warranty claims and product recalls could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
We receive warranty claims from our dealers in the ordinary course of our business. Although we maintain reserves for such claims, which to date have been adequate, there can be no assurance that warranty expense levels will remain at current levels or that such reserves will continue to be adequate. A significant increase in warranty claims exceeding our current warranty expense levels could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

In addition to the costs associated with the contractual warranty coverage provided on our products, we also occasionally incur costs as a result of additional service actions not covered by our warranties, including product recalls and customer satisfaction actions. Although we estimate and reserve for the cost of these service actions, there can be no assurance that expense levels will remain at current levels or such reserves will continue to be adequate.

Information Systems, Cybersecurity, AI, and Legal and Regulatory Risks
We rely extensively on information technology systems, and failures, disruptions, or implementation difficulties could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We rely extensively on information systems and other technology software, some of which are managed by third parties, to process, summarize, transmit, and store electronic information that is critical to operating our business efficiently and effectively. Our information systems and infrastructure are used to support our operations and manage key business processes, including but not limited to, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, warranty administration, invoicing, collection of payments, sales, marketing, human resources, communication efforts and other administrative functions. Additionally, we rely on information systems to record and report our operational results.

Due to our reliance on our information systems, our business processes may be negatively impacted in the event of substantial disruption of service. In addition, continued integration and development of new systems have resulted in, and may in the future result in, operational inefficiencies that adversely impact our results of operations.

Cybersecurity incidents could result in operational disruptions, regulatory scrutiny, litigation, and reputational harm.

We and our third-party service providers collect, store, and process confidential, proprietary, personal, and regulated information in connection with our business operations. A cybersecurity incident affecting these systems could disrupt our operations and result in the unauthorized access to, loss of, or misuse of such information, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation.

Operating these systems in a secure manner is critical to our business operations and strategy. We have implemented measures and incurred costs intended to protect and prevent unauthorized access to or loss of sensitive data. We also have security systems in place with the intent of maintaining the physical security of our facilities.

Despite our efforts to continuously mature our cybersecurity program, our information technology and operational technology systems, and those of our third-party service providers, we are still susceptible to system shutdowns, damage, degraded performance, disruptions or other security incidents. Because the technologies used to obtain unauthorized access are constantly changing and becoming increasingly more sophisticated, including through the use of AI to conduct cyberattacks, and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement sufficient preventative measures. Misuse, leakage, falsification, or breach of security of information could result in a violation of privacy laws and damage our reputation which could, in turn, adversely affect our business or financial results. Among other things, the impact could include interruptions or delays in our ability to access information, data loss, processing inefficiencies, lost revenues or other costs resulting from shutdowns, unfavorable publicity, governmental inquiry and oversight, litigation by affected parties, and possible financial obligations for damages related to the theft or misuse of such information. Although these incidents have not historically had a significant impact on our business operations, there can be no guarantee that the actions and controls we have implemented and are implementing will be sufficient to protect our systems, information, or other property. While we maintain cybersecurity insurance to protect against potential losses arising from security incidents, the costs related to threats or disruption may not be fully insured.

Risks associated with our development, deployment, and use of artificial intelligence technologies could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and reputation.
We are increasingly evaluating and utilizing AI technologies, including generative AI, machine learning, and other automated decision-support tools, across various business functions, including product design and engineering, manufacturing and quality control, supply chain management, demand forecasting, marketing, and administrative operations. We may also incorporate AI-enabled features into our products, such as connected vehicle technologies, navigation, and user experience enhancements. While these technologies may enhance efficiency, innovation, and decision-making, their use exposes us to a number of risks.

AI systems may produce inaccurate, misleading, biased, incomplete, inconsistent, or otherwise unreliable outputs, which could adversely affect business decisions, operational execution, customer interactions, product development, forecasting, financial reporting processes, compliance activities, or other business functions. The effectiveness of AI technologies depends on the quality, availability, security, and integrity of the data on which they are trained or operate. Deficiencies in data quality, governance, or controls could negatively affect the performance and reliability of AI-enabled solutions. The use of AI may also increase risks related to intellectual property infringement, confidentiality, privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, model manipulation, unauthorized disclosure of proprietary information, and compliance with contractual obligations. Employees, contractors, vendors, or third parties may use AI tools in ways that are inconsistent with our policies or applicable laws, which could expose the Company to operational, legal, regulatory, or reputational risks.

In addition, the legal and regulatory framework governing AI is rapidly evolving in the United States and internationally. New laws, regulations, standards, or regulatory interpretations related to AI, automated decision-making, data usage, privacy, transparency, accountability, or intellectual property may increase compliance costs, require modifications to our business practices, limit our ability to develop or deploy AI solutions, or expose us to regulatory investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions. We also rely on third-party providers for certain AI-enabled technologies and services. Deficiencies, interruptions, vulnerabilities, inaccuracies, or failures associated with such technologies or providers could adversely affect our operations and business objectives. Although we have implemented governance, risk management, security, and oversight processes related to AI, these measures may not be effective in identifying or mitigating all risks associated with the use of AI technologies.

Conversely, the competitive landscape with respect to AI technologies is evolving rapidly, and our long-term success may depend in part on our ability to effectively develop, adopt, and leverage AI-enabled capabilities across our business operations and products. If we are unable to successfully identify, invest in, integrate, or scale AI technologies in a timely and effective manner, or if our competitors realize greater benefits from AI-enabled capabilities, products, services, or business processes, our competitiveness, growth prospects, operational efficiency, and customer experience may be adversely affected. Failure to incorporate AI-enabled features into our products and services at a pace consistent with market expectations or competitor offerings could reduce the attractiveness of our products to customers and negatively impact our market position. In addition, attracting and retaining personnel with the technical expertise necessary to develop, deploy, and manage AI solutions is highly competitive, and our inability to do so could limit our capacity to capitalize on AI-driven opportunities. There can be no assurance that our investments in AI technologies will yield the expected benefits or that such technologies will perform as anticipated in our business environment.

We are subject to evolving privacy and data protection laws and regulations, and failure to comply could result in regulatory penalties, litigation, or reputational harm.

We collect and process personal information and other regulated data from consumers, dealers, and employees in connection with our business operations. Consequently, we are subject to an increasingly complex and evolving framework of federal, state and international privacy and data protection laws. Compliance with these requirements may increase costs, require changes to our business practices and limit how we collect, use, share or otherwise process data. Failure to comply with these evolving requirements could result in regulatory investigations, penalties, litigation, contractual liability, or reputational harm, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our continued success is dependent on positive perceptions of our brands which, if impaired, could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition. In addition, if the frequency and size of product liability and other claims against us increase, our reputation and business may be harmed.
We believe that one of the strengths of our business is our brands, which are widely known around the world. We vigorously defend our brands and our other intellectual property rights against third parties on a global basis. We have, from time to time, had to bring claims against third parties to protect or prevent unauthorized use of our brand. If we are unable to protect and defend our brands or other intellectual property, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Our success in maintaining, extending, and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment. The growing use of social and digital media platforms by us, our customers and third parties increases the speed and extent to which information, including misinformation and opinions can be shared. Negative posts or comments about us, our brands, our products, and in some cases, our competitors, on social or digital media, whether or not valid, could damage our brands and reputation. If we do not maintain, extend, and expand our reputation or brand image, then our operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We are also subject, in the ordinary course of business, to litigation including a variety of warranty, "Lemon Law," and product liability claims typical in the RV and marine industries. Although we have an insurance policy covering product liability, we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all future claims against us, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Any increase in the frequency and size of these claims, as compared to our experience in prior years, may cause the premium that we are required to pay for insurance to rise significantly. Product liability claims may also cause us to pay punitive damages, not all of which are covered by our insurance. In addition, if product liability claims rise to a level of frequency or size that are significantly higher than similar claims made against our competitors, our reputation and business may be harmed.

We are subject to certain government regulations that could have a material adverse impact on our business, including changing climate-related regulations that may require us to incur additional costs in order to be in compliance.
We are subject to numerous federal, state, and local regulations and the following summarizes some, but not all, of the laws and regulations that apply to us.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards govern the design, manufacture and sale of our RV products, which standards are promulgated by the NHTSA. NHTSA requires manufacturers to recall and repair vehicles which are non-compliant with a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or contain safety defects. In addition, the U.S. Coast Guard maintains certification standards for the manufacture of our marine products, and the safety of recreational boats in the U.S. is subject to federal regulation under the Boat Safety Act of 1971, which requires boat manufacturers to recall products for replacement of parts or components that have demonstrated defects affecting safety. Marine products sold internationally must also meet applicable certification and safety standards in those jurisdictions, including European Community standards, and changes to such requirements could increase compliance costs or limit our ability to sell products in those markets. Any major recalls of our products, voluntary or involuntary, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. While we believe we are in compliance with the foregoing laws and regulations as they currently exist, amendments to any of these regulations or the implementation of new regulations could significantly increase the cost of testing, manufacturing, purchasing, operating, or selling our products and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. In addition, our failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in federal fines being imposed on us, potential civil and criminal liability, suspension of sales or production, or cessation of operations.
17

Table of Contents

We are also subject to federal and numerous state consumer protection and unfair trade practice laws and regulations relating to the sale, transportation, and marketing of motor vehicles, including so-called "Lemon Laws." Federal and state laws and regulations also impose upon vehicle operators various restrictions on the weight, length, and width of motor vehicles, including motorhome RVs that may be operated in certain jurisdictions or on certain roadways. Certain jurisdictions also prohibit the sale of vehicles exceeding length restrictions. In addition, our manufacturing facilities are subject to regulation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and comparable state agencies, which conduct periodic inspections and may require us to modify our facilities or operations to comply with applicable standards. Non-compliance could result in fines, operational restrictions, or production disruptions.

Failure to comply with the New York Stock Exchange and SEC laws or regulations could also have an adverse impact on our business. Additionally, amendments to these regulations and the implementation of new regulations could increase the cost of our operations and therefore could have an adverse impact on our business.

We are subject to income and other tax laws and regulations in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. In addition, we could be impacted by adjustments proposed by taxing authorities in connection with examinations, depending on their timing, nature and scope. Increases in tax rates, changes in tax laws or unfavorable resolution of tax matters could have a material impact on our financial results.

Finally, regulations related to climate change continue to evolve. For example, federal and state authorities have various environmental control standards relating to air, water, noise pollution, greenhouse gases ("GHG"), and hazardous waste generation and disposal that affect us and our operations. Failure by us to comply with present or future laws and regulations could result in fines being imposed on us, potential civil and criminal liability, suspension of production or operations, alterations to the manufacturing process, or costly cleanup or capital expenditures, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. While the SEC has submitted a proposal to rescind its federal climate disclosure rules, state-level requirements continue to develop. For example, California has enacted climate-related disclosure legislation (SB 253 and SB 261), though enforcement timelines and implementing regulations remain subject to change, and New York has adopted its Mandatory GHG Reporting Program (6 NYCRR Part 253) requiring annual emissions reports by June 1, 2027. In addition, international requirements, including the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and related frameworks, may impose disclosure and compliance obligations on our operations or supply chain. Foreign, federal, state, and local regulatory and legislative bodies have also proposed various legislative and regulatory measures relating to climate change, regulating GHG emissions, and energy policies. If such legislation is enacted, we could incur increased energy, environmental, and other costs and capital expenditures to comply with the limitations. Climate change regulation combined with public sentiment could result in reduced demand for our products, higher fuel prices, or carbon taxes, all of which could materially adversely affect our business. Due to uncertainty in the regulatory and legislative processes, as well as the scope of such requirements and initiatives, we cannot currently determine the effect such legislation and regulation may have on our products and operations.

Our sustainability commitments may impact our reputation, expose us to additional costs, or have other impacts which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Regulators, investors, employees, consumers, and other stakeholders have differing and evolving perspectives and expectations relating to sustainability practices. We periodically communicate our sustainability initiatives, which include prioritizing ethics and integrity, safety, people, inclusion and belonging, community, waste, emissions, and product stewardship. Failure to meet our commitments, respond to regulatory requirements, or advance our initiatives could adversely impact our reputation, as well as the demand for our products. In addition, achieving these initiatives may result in increased costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. At the same time, our stakeholders have evolving, varied and sometimes conflicting expectations regarding many aspects of our business, including our operations and sustainability-related matters, and certain stakeholders, regulators, or policymakers may oppose sustainability initiatives or impose restrictions on our ability to pursue them. If we fail, or are perceived to fail, in any number of sustainability matters, or to effectively respond to changes in, or new, legal, regulatory or reporting requirements concerning climate change or other sustainability concerns, we may be subject to regulatory fines and penalties, and our reputation may suffer.

Financial Risks
An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill and trade names could negatively impact our consolidated results of operations.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as our trade names in certain instances, are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Our determination of whether goodwill impairment has occurred is based on a comparison of each of our reporting units’ fair value with its carrying value. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, we completed our annual assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and determined that the carrying value of the Chris-Craft reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in a $30.3 million impairment charge, which represents the full goodwill balance attributable to the reporting unit. Although no other impairments were identified in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025, or Fiscal 2024, significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, such as significant and long-term adverse changes in business climate, deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, unanticipated competition, and/or changes in technology or markets, could require future impairment charges that could be significant and could negatively impact our results of operations.

Refer to Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding goodwill and intangible assets.

The terms of our notes and other debt instruments could adversely affect our operating flexibility and pose risks of default.
We incurred substantial indebtedness to finance the acquisitions of Grand Design and Newmar Corporation ("Newmar"). Our asset based revolving credit facility ("ABL Credit Facility") and Senior Secured Notes (as described in Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K) are secured by substantially all of our assets, including cash, inventory, accounts receivable, and certain machinery and equipment. We also issued unsecured convertible senior notes due 2030 ("2030 Convertible Notes") to execute a partial repurchase of other indebtedness. If a default of payment occurs, the lenders in our ABL Credit Facility or holders of our Senior Secured Notes and 2030 Convertible Notes may elect to declare all of their respective outstanding debt, together with accrued interest and other amounts payable thereunder, to be immediately due and payable. Under such circumstances, we may not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of our obligations. In addition, the limitations imposed on our ability to incur additional debt and to take other corporate actions might significantly impair our ability to obtain other financing.

Borrowing availability under the ABL Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of the facility total and the calculated borrowing base, which is based on stipulated loan percentages applied to our eligible trade accounts receivable and eligible inventories. Should the borrowing base decline, our ability to borrow to fund future operations and business transactions could be limited.

In addition, the Senior Secured Notes contain certain occurrence-based covenants that could restrict our ability to undertake certain types of transactions. If we enter into a transaction that falls under the occurrence-based covenants, we will calculate the ratios and covenant buckets we have available to us to ensure we are in compliance. Likewise, the Indenture related to the 2030 Convertible Notes includes certain limited occurrence-based covenants that could impact our ability to operate our business.

In addition, our indebtedness could:
•Make us more vulnerable to general adverse economic, regulatory, and industry conditions;
•Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes and opportunities in the markets in which we compete;
•Place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or could require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to service our debt; and
•Restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting other business opportunities.

General Risks
Our common stock trading price could decline if equity research analysts issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock.
The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that third-party securities analysts publish about us and the industries in which we operate. If one or more analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price or trading volume of our securities to decline. Alternatively, one or more analysts could downgrade our common stock, provide more favorable recommendations about our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business or industry, which could also cause the trading volume or market price of our common stock to decline.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
Risk Management and Strategy
As described in Item 1A – Risk Factors, we are subject to various cybersecurity risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation. We recognize the critical importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, and have integrated a comprehensive cybersecurity program into our broader Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) framework. This integration ensures that cybersecurity considerations are an integral part of our decision-making process at every level. Our cybersecurity program includes a detailed set of policies, standards, and procedures informed by an industry-leading framework established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST CSF”). The NIST CSF provides a model that emphasizes identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery. To identify and manage risks from third parties in relation to cybersecurity, we conduct thorough cybersecurity assessments of third-party service providers, maintain an inventory of these providers and prioritize them by criticality, and include specific cybersecurity obligations in our contracts. Additionally, we continuously monitor these providers and require prompt notification of any cybersecurity incidents to manage and monitor potential risks to our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.

We manage our exposure to cybersecurity risk using various methods designed to protect against, detect, and respond to cybersecurity threats. For example, we leverage threat intelligence to identify trends and inform our understanding of the cybersecurity risk landscape. We employ behavior-based email and endpoint threat detection technologies that are designed to identify and block phishing, business email compromise, and impersonation attempts. In addition, our cybersecurity team performs regular assessments of our program and conducts penetration testing to identify, evaluate, and remediate potential threats and vulnerabilities. We also engage external resources to support in the design and implementation of certain program elements, and to assist us in the prevention, detection, monitoring, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity risks and incidents. We have also implemented governance controls, monitoring, and acceptable-use standards addressing the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies and the associated risk of unauthorized disclosure or handling of data.

In addition to the processes, technologies, and controls that we have in place to reduce the likelihood of material cybersecurity incidents, we maintain a documented incident response plan to manage cybersecurity events within our environment. The response plan includes procedures for identifying, containing, and responding to cybersecurity incidents. Our ability to respond to cybersecurity incidents is tested on a recurring basis.

We view cybersecurity as a shared responsibility. Our employees are trained through annual security training, regular phishing simulations, and frequent communications about cybersecurity threats.

Governance
Our cybersecurity program is led by our Vice President of Information Security and overseen by our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”). Our Vice President of Information Security, who is responsible for assessing and managing our information technology risks, including cybersecurity, joined Winnebago Industries in July 2021 and has over 25 years of experience in heavily regulated industries such as finance and healthcare. She has held multiple roles in Information Security and IT, demonstrating expertise and versatility in navigating the threat landscape of cybersecurity. Our CIO reports to our Senior Vice President – Chief Financial Officer, Investor Relations, Information Technology and Business Development, a member of our senior leadership team who reports to our President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors provides oversight of our ERM program, of which cybersecurity is an integral component. Members of the Audit Committee receive updates on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as appropriate, from our CIO regarding existing and new cybersecurity risks, the effectiveness and continued maturity of our cybersecurity program, cybersecurity incidents (if any), and other relevant topics that help the committee provide effective oversight. In addition, the Board of Directors also receives an Information Security Services update on an annual basis from our Vice President of Information Security and our CIO. These updates cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to, reviewing trends and program maturity, key metrics, current and emerging cybersecurity risks, and other cybersecurity developments.

We do not believe we have experienced any cybersecurity threats or incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, including in Fiscal 2026. However, cyber threats continue to evolve, and there can be no assurance that the actions and controls we have implemented and are implementing will be sufficient to protect our systems, information, or other property. While we maintain cybersecurity insurance to protect against potential losses arising from security incidents, the costs related to threats or disruption may not be fully insured.

PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Market Information
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol of WGO. As of October 14, 2026, there were 1,877 shareholders of record.

Dividends
On August 12, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share, totaling $10.2 million, to be paid on September 23, 2026 to common shareholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2026. Dividends are generally declared each quarter, and the Board of Directors currently intends to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends; however, declaration of future dividends, if any, will be based on several factors including our financial performance, outlook, and liquidity.

Our outstanding notes, as further described in Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, contain restrictions that may limit our ability to pay dividends.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Our ABL Credit Facility contains restrictions that may limit our ability to make distributions or payments with respect to purchases of our common stock without consent from the lenders, except for limited purchases of our common stock from employees, in the event of a significant reduction in our EBITDA or in the event of a significant borrowing on our ABL Credit Facility. Our Senior Secured Notes also contain covenants that may limit our ability to make distributions or payments with respect to purchases of our common stock. See additional information on our ABL Credit Facility and our Senior Secured Notes in Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On August 17, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program in the amount of $350.0 million with no time restriction on the authorization, which took effect immediately and replaced the prior program.

During Fiscal 2026, we did not repurchase any shares under the share repurchase program. We repurchased approximately 58,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $1.7 million to satisfy tax obligations on employee equity awards as they vested. We continually evaluate if share repurchases reflect a prudent use of our capital and, subject to compliance with our ABL Credit Facility and outstanding Senior Secured Notes, we may purchase shares in the future. As of August 29, 2026, we have $180.0 million remaining on our Board of Directors approved repurchase authorization.

Purchases of our common stock during each fiscal month of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026 are as follows:

Item 6. [Reserved].

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Unless otherwise noted, transactions and other factors significantly impacting our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity are discussed in order of magnitude. Our MD&A is presented in five sections:
•Overview
•Results of Operations
•Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
•Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
•New Accounting Pronouncements

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The year-over-year comparisons in this MD&A are as of and for the fiscal years ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, unless stated otherwise. The discussion of Fiscal 2024 results and related year-over-year comparisons as of and for the fiscal years ended August 30, 2025 and August 31, 2024 are found in Item 7 of Part II of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 30, 2025.

Overview
Winnebago Industries, Inc. is a leading North American manufacturer of outdoor lifestyle products under the Winnebago, Grand
Design, Chris-Craft, Newmar and Barletta brands, which are used primarily in leisure travel and outdoor recreation activities. We also design and manufacture advanced battery solutions that deliver “house power,” supporting internal electrical features and appliances for a variety of outdoor products including RVs, boats, specialty and other low-speed vehicles, as well as other industrial applications. Other products manufactured by us consist primarily of original equipment manufacturing parts for other manufacturers and commercial vehicles. We produce our motorhome RV units in Iowa and Indiana; our towable RV units in Indiana; our marine units in Indiana and Florida; and our battery solutions in Florida. We distribute our RV and marine products primarily through independent dealers across the U.S. and Canada, who then retail the products to the end consumer. We also distribute our marine products internationally through independent dealers, who then retail the products to the end consumer. Our battery solutions are primarily sold to customers in the U.S.

Known Trends and Uncertainties
Our business continues to be challenged by macroeconomic conditions impacting retail consumers and our dealers, such as inflation, elevated interest rates, and lower consumer confidence. These factors have contributed to lower consumer spending and reduced short-term demand for large discretionary products such as RVs and marine products. In response, our dealers continue to exercise caution when managing stocking levels. In Fiscal 2026, these trends resulted in decreased sales due to declines in unit volume. Market pressures have been observed across our portfolio and we have adjusted our production schedule to align with market demand, while also accelerating efforts to provide stronger product value for our consumers in the future.

We continue to monitor developments in international trade policy, including tariffs imposed by the United States and potential retaliatory measures by other countries, which may affect material costs, supply availability, and consumer demand. During February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were not authorized by the statute, and related refund processes continue to evolve. We received certain recoveries from suppliers associated with previously incurred tariff costs, which helped offset a portion of tariff-related cost increases during Fiscal 2026. In addition, we implemented pricing and other mitigation actions to reduce the impact of tariffs on our business. The tariff environment remains dynamic, and future changes in trade policy or tariff levels could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

During our third quarter of Fiscal 2026, conflicts among the United States, Israel, and Iran intensified, contributing to higher global energy prices due to supply disruptions in the Middle East. Sustained increases in energy costs may further pressure consumer discretionary spending and demand for RV and marine products. Further, these conditions may contribute to broader inflationary pressures and delay expected interest rate reductions, or cause further increases to interest rates, which could result in higher borrowing costs for consumers.
Despite the current economic uncertainty, we believe in the long-term health of consumer demand for RV and marine products.

NM: Not meaningful.

Net revenues decreased primarily due to lower unit volume, partially offset by selective price adjustments and product mix.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was consistent with prior year as volume deleverage was largely offset by selective price adjustments.

Operating expenses decreased primarily due to cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by costs to support the growth of the Grand Design Motorhome business.

The loss on note repurchase recorded in the fiscal years ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025 is related to the repurchase of $100.0 million of our Senior Secured Notes in both periods. Refer to Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by current year state tax adjustments, increased valuation allowances, and a reduced benefit from favorable items due to higher pre-tax income.

Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows from total operations for Fiscal 2026 and 2025:
(in millions)20262025
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities$168.7 $128.9 
Investing activities(18.5)(34.8)
Financing activities(142.8)(251.0)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents
$7.4 $(156.9)

Operating Activities
During Fiscal 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $168.7 million compared to $128.9 million in Fiscal 2025. The change in operating cash flow is primarily driven by higher profitability adjusted for non-cash items, favorable changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable balances due to timing of receipts and payments, partially offset by changes in inventory levels.

Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities decreased primarily due to lower capital expenditures compared to the prior year.

Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities decreased primarily due to the maturity of 2025 Convertible Notes in Fiscal 2025, combined with lower share repurchase activity in the current year. We repurchased $100.0 million of the Senior Secured Notes in both Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2026.

Debt and Capital
On August 20, 2026, we renewed our $350.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility ("ABL Credit Facility") with an extended maturity date of August 20, 2031, subject to certain factors which may accelerate the maturity date. As of August 29, 2026, we had no borrowings against the ABL Credit Facility and $181.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalent balances consist of high quality, short-term money market instruments.

On January 23, 2024, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2030 ("2030 Convertible Notes").

On July 8, 2020, we closed our private offering (the “Senior Secured Notes Offering”) of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”).

On November 1, 2019, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.5% unsecured Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (“2025 Convertible Notes”). On January 18, 2024, we entered into privately negotiated transactions (the "2025 Convertible Note Repurchases") with certain holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes to repurchase $240.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes using proceeds received from the 2030 Convertible Notes. On April 1, 2025, the 2025 Convertible Notes matured. We paid $59.3 million in aggregate principal amount and $0.4 million in accrued interest to holders of the notes, fully settling the outstanding balance (the "2025 Convertible Note Maturity Settlement"). The settlement was funded with cash on hand, consistent with our stated intent, with no shares of common stock issued.

As of August 29, 2026, we had no debt maturing in the next twelve months that is classified as current on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We evaluate the financial stability of the counterparties for the 2030 Convertible Notes, the Senior Secured Notes, and the ABL Credit Facility, and will continue to monitor counterparty risk on an on-going basis.

Refer to Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Working Capital
Working capital as of August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025 was $419.1 million and $465.1 million, respectively. We currently expect cash on hand, funds generated from operations, and the borrowing available under our ABL Credit Facility to be sufficient to cover both short-term and long-term operating requirements.

Table of Contents
Capital Expenditures
We anticipate capital expenditures in Fiscal 2027 of approximately $35.0 million to $45.0 million. We will continue to support organic growth through facility improvements to support a safe operating environment, operational improvements, and investments in software and our digital capabilities. We believe cash on hand, funds generated from operations, and the borrowing capacity available under our ABL Credit Facility and other debt instruments will be sufficient to support our capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Share Repurchases and Dividends
We repurchase our common stock and pay dividends pursuant to programs approved by our Board of Directors. Our long-term capital allocation strategy is to first fund operations and investments in growth, maintain reasonable liquidity, maintain a leverage ratio that reflects a prudent capital structure in light of the cyclical industries we compete in, and then return excess cash over time to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Refer to Item 5 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion about our share repurchase program and dividend declared on August 12, 2026.

Cash Requirements
Our cash requirements within the next twelve months include accounts payable, current maturities of long-term debt, accrued expenses, purchase commitments and other current liabilities.

Our cash requirements greater than twelve months from various contractual obligations and commitments include:

Debt Obligations and Interest Payments
Refer to Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our debt and the timing of expected future principal and interest payments. Interest payments are based on fixed interest rates for the 2030 Convertible Notes and the Senior Secured Notes.

Operating and Finance Leases
Refer to Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our lease obligations and the timing of expected future payments.

Deferred Compensation Obligations
Refer to Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our deferred compensation plans. We expect to pay $1.2 million in the next 12 months and $4.3 million beyond 12 months.

Contracted Services
Contracted services include agreements with third-party service providers primarily for software, payroll services, and equipment maintenance services for periods up to Fiscal 2029. We expect to pay approximately $19.7 million in the next 12 months and approximately $6.2 million beyond 12 months.

Contingent Repurchase Obligations
Refer to Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our contingent repurchase commitment and estimated obligation, most of which we expect to expire within one year.

We expect to satisfy our short-term and long-term obligations through a combination of cash on hand, funds generated from operations, and the borrowing capacity available under our ABL Credit Facility and other debt instruments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates, and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors believed to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These estimates require our most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments because they relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. We have reviewed these critical accounting policies and estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

We have not made any material changes during the past three fiscal years, nor do we believe there is a reasonable likelihood of a material future change to the accounting methodologies for the areas described below.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
We test goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as trade names, for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter and more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would indicate an impairment may have occurred prior to the annual assessment. Our test of impairment begins by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test:

•Qualitative evaluation - Performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying value of goodwill or the indefinite-lived trade name exceeds the fair value of the asset. During our qualitative assessment, we make significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments, including, but not limited to, the macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance of the Company and the reporting units, changes in our share price, and relevant company-specific events. If we determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the goodwill or indefinite-lived trade name exceeds the fair value, we perform the quantitative test to determine the amount of the impairment.

•Quantitative test - Used to calculate the fair value of goodwill or the indefinite-lived trade name. If the carrying value of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived trade name exceeds the fair value, the impairment is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Our goodwill fair value model uses a blend of the income (discounted future cash flow) and market (guideline public company) approaches, which includes the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). Our indefinite-lived trade name fair value model uses the income (relief-from-royalty) approach, which includes the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). During these valuations, we make significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments, including current and projected future levels of income based on management’s plans, business trends, market and economic conditions, and market-participant considerations. Actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts, which could result in future impairment losses.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, we completed our annual assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and determined that there was no indication of impairment. However, we observed a reduction in the fair value cushion for the Chris-Craft trade name, as the estimated fair value exceeded its $29.3 million carrying value by less than 10% as of the assessment date. The fair value of a trade name is determined by the relief-from-royalty method, which requires significant judgment, and includes assumptions for royalty rate, future revenue growth rates and discount rate. A 50 bps reduction rate in royalty rate, a 10% decline in sales volume, or a 100 bps increase in the discount rate would all result in the fair value approximating carrying value for the Chris-Craft trade name. A sustained decline in revenues or other adverse changes in macroeconomic or industry conditions could result in an impairment charge in a future reporting period. No impairments were recorded in Fiscal 2025. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 we determined that the carrying value of the Chris-Craft reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in a $30.3 million impairment charge, which represents the full goodwill balance attributable to the reporting unit.

For further information regarding goodwill and intangible assets, see Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Warranty
We provide certain service and warranty on our products. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon past warranty claims and unit sales history. Estimates are adjusted as needed to reflect actual costs incurred as information becomes available.

In addition to the costs associated with the contractual warranty coverage provided on our products, we also occasionally incur costs as a result of additional service actions not covered by our warranties, including product recalls and customer satisfaction actions. Although we estimate and reserve for the cost of these service actions, there can be no assurance that expense levels will remain at current levels or such reserves will continue to be adequate.

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 in which such claims or additional costs materialize. A hypothetical change of a 10% increase or decrease in our warranty liability as of August 29, 2026 would not have a material effect on our net income.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
We, the management of Winnebago Industries, Inc. (the "Company") are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company's internal control over financial reporting is supported by written policies and procedures that:
1.pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets;
2.provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and
3.provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting solely of independent directors, meets periodically with management of the Company, the internal auditors, and the independent registered public accounting firm to review internal accounting controls, audit results, and accounting principles and practices and annually selects the independent registered public accounting firm.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In connection with the preparation of the Company's annual financial statements, management of the Company has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 29, 2026.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued a report included herein, which expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Winnebago Industries, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Winnebago Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended August 29, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 29, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of August 29, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated October 21, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Product Warranties – Grand Design – Refer to Note 7 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company provides certain service and warranty on its products. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued based upon historical warranty claims and unit sales history. Estimates are adjusted as needed to reflect actual costs incurred as information becomes available. Grand Design was founded in 2013 and acquired by the Company in November 2016 and makes up the majority of the Company’s product warranty accrual as of August 29, 2026.

We identified the product warranties for Grand Design as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to estimate costs related to product warranties at the time of sale. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates of future warranty claims based on historical claims experience.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the product warranty for the Grand Design component included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s estimation of the product warranty accrual, including those over historical product warranty claim data and projected future product warranty claims.

•We evaluated the accuracy and relevance of the historical product warranty claims as an input to management’s product warranty accrual calculation.
34

Table of Contents

•We evaluated the completeness of the warranty accrual estimate through inquiries of operational and executive management regarding knowledge of known product warranty claims or product issues and evaluated whether they were appropriately considered in the determination of the product warranty accrual.

•We evaluated management’s ability to accurately estimate the warranty accrual by comparing the product warranty accrual in prior years to the actual product warranty claims paid in subsequent years.

•We assessed management’s methodology and detail tested the warranty accrual by evaluating the inputs and assumptions utilized in the calculation.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets – Barletta Goodwill and Chris-Craft Trade name – Refer to Note 6 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names for impairment on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter or upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amounts of the intangible assets may be impaired. The Company’s evaluation involves a comparison of the fair value to the carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of their reporting units using a blend of the income and market approaches. The income approach involves the use of a discounted cash flow model that requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, operating margins, and discount rate. The market approach requires management to make assumptions related to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) multiples. The Company estimates the fair value of their trade names using the relief-from-royalty method. The determination of the trade name fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, discount rate, and the selection of the royalty rate. Changes in the assumptions can have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible and, therefore, the amount of any impairment charge, if applicable.

As of August 29, 2026, the Barletta goodwill balance was $136.1 million, and the Chris-Craft trade name balance was $29.3 million. The estimated fair value of the Barletta goodwill and Chris-Craft trade names exceeded their carrying values as of the measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.

We identified the fair value determination of the Barletta goodwill and the Chris-Craft indefinite-lived trade name as a critical audit matter due to the significant estimates and assumptions used. The assumptions used in determining the fair value include forecasted revenues and discount rates for both goodwill and the trade name, operating margins and EBITDA multiples for goodwill, and the royalty rate for the trade name. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates related to these assumptions.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future revenues and operating margins and the selection of the discount rate and EBITDA multiples relating to Barletta goodwill assessment and the forecasts of future revenues and selection of the discount rate and royalty rate relating to the Chris-Craft trade name assessment included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill and trade name impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of fair value, such as controls related to management’s development of forecasts of future revenues and the selection of the discount rates and royalty rates.

•We inquired of appropriate individuals, both within and outside of finance, regarding the forecasted revenues and operating margins.

•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecast of future revenues and operating margins by comparing the forecasts to:

–Historical revenues and operating margins.

–Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors.

–Forecasted information included in Company press releases, as well as in analyst and industry reports of the Company and companies in its peer group.

•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodologies, discount rates, EBITDA multiples and royalty rate by:

–Testing the source data underlying the determination of the discount rates and royalty rate selected.

–Comparing the selected discount rates to market data.

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Winnebago Industries, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Winnebago Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of August 29, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 29, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended August 29, 2026, of the Company and our report dated October 21, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Other products manufactured by us consist primarily of original equipment manufacturing parts for other manufacturers and commercial vehicles. We produce our motorhome RV units in Iowa and Indiana; our towable RV units in Indiana; our marine units in Indiana and Florida; and our battery solutions in Florida. We distribute our RV and marine products primarily through independent dealers across the U.S. and Canada, who then retail the products to the end consumer. We also distribute our marine products internationally through independent dealers, who then retail the products to the end consumer. Our battery solutions are primarily sold to customers in the U.S.

Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The use of the terms "Winnebago Industries," "Winnebago," "we," "our," and "us" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Fiscal Period
We have a 5-4-4 quarterly accounting cycle with the fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in August. All references to Fiscal 2026 refer to the 52-week period ended August 29, 2026. Fiscal 2025 refers to the 52-week period ended August 30, 2025 and Fiscal 2024 refers to the 53-week period ended August 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are not legally restricted. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

Receivables
Receivables consist principally of amounts due from our dealer network for RVs and boats sold.

We record an allowance using a model to reduce receivables by the expected credit loss and consider factors such as financial condition of the dealer, specific collection issues, current and expected economic conditions, and other factors that may impact our ability to collect. If there is a deterioration of a dealer's financial condition, if we become aware of additional information related to credit worthiness, or if future actual default rates on receivables differ from those currently anticipated, we may adjust the allowance for credit losses, which would affect earnings in the period the adjustments are made.

Inventories
Generally, inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined under the First-in, First-out basis ("FIFO"), except for the Winnebago Motorhome operating segment which is determined using the Last-in, First-out ("LIFO") basis. Manufacturing cost includes materials, labor, and overhead. Unallocated overhead and abnormal costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter and whenever events occur or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at a reporting unit level and all goodwill is assigned to a reporting unit. Our reporting units are the same as the operating segments as defined in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the fair value of a reporting unit is “more likely than not” less than its carrying value. If it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred, we then perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We also generally perform a quantitative impairment test of our reporting units at least once every five years. If we perform the quantitative test, the carrying value of the reporting unit is compared to an estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value to identify impairment. The estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value involves significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The fair value is determined by a blend of the income approach (discounted future cash flow) and market approach (guideline public company) using current industry information. In determining the estimated future cash flow, we consider and apply certain estimates and judgments, including current and projected future levels of income based on management plans, business trends, prospects, market and economic conditions, and market-participant considerations. If the quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment fails, an impairment loss equal to the amount that a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value will be recognized.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, we completed our annual goodwill impairment testing. We elected to rely on a qualitative assessment for the Newmar and Lithionics reporting units, and performed a quantitative analysis for the Grand Design and Barletta reporting units. As of August 29, 2026, the goodwill balances for the Grand Design, Newmar, Barletta, and Lithionics reporting units were $243.5 million, $73.1 million, $136.1 million, and $30.3 million, respectively. No impairment was identified for the fiscal years ending August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, the results of our goodwill impairment testing indicated that the carrying value of the Chris-Craft reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in a $30.3 million impairment charge, which represented the full goodwill balance attributable to the reporting unit. For further information regarding the Fiscal 2024 impairment charge, refer to Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Trade names
We have indefinite-lived intangible assets related to the Newmar trade name within the Motorhome RV segment, the Grand Design trade name within the Towable RV segment, and the Chris-Craft and Barletta trade names within the Marine segment. We also have a finite-lived trade name intangible asset related to Lithionics within Corporate / All Other. Annually in the fourth quarter, or if conditions indicate an interim evaluation is necessary, we test indefinite-lived trade names for impairment. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the fair value of a trade name is “more likely than not” less than its carrying value. If it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred, we then perform the quantitative impairment test. If we perform the quantitative test, the carrying value of the asset is compared to an estimate of its fair value to identify impairment. The fair value is determined by the relief-from-royalty method, which requires significant judgment. Actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts utilized in the analysis. If we conclude an impairment exists, the asset's carrying value will be written down to its fair value.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, we completed the annual impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets. We elected to rely on a qualitative assessment for the Newmar trade name, and performed a quantitative analysis for the Chris-Craft, Grand Design, and Barletta trade names. No impairment was identified for the fiscal years ended August 29, 2026, August 30, 2025, or August 31, 2024. Refer to Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding testing results.

Table of Contents
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization, and right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances such as asset utilization, physical change, legal factors or other matters indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. The impairment test involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. In the event the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset and the carrying amount is not considered recoverable, an impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value and is recognized in the statement of income in the period that the impairment occurs. The reasonableness of the useful lives of the asset and other long-lived assets is regularly evaluated.

No impairment loss of any long-lived asset was identified for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2026. During the fiscal year ended August 30, 2025, we recognized an impairment of approximately $1.2 million related to long-lived assets. No impairment loss of any long-lived asset was identified for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024.

Self-Insurance
Generally, we self-insure a portion of health insurance, product liability claims, and workers' compensation. We maintain insurance programs subject to applicable deductibles or retentions. Under these plans, liabilities are recognized for claims incurred, including those incurred but not reported. We use third-party administrators and actuaries who use historical claims experience and various state statutes to assist in the determination of the accrued liability balance. We review the valuations provided by the third-party administrators and actuaries to determine the adequacy of the reserves. Any material change in the aforementioned factors could have an adverse impact on operating results. Balances are included within self-insurance (accrued expenses) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income Taxes
In preparing these financial statements, we are required to estimate the income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating the current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be realized based on future taxable income and, to the extent that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or change this allowance in a period, an expense or a benefit is included within the tax provision on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Legal
Litigation expense, including estimated defense costs, is recorded when probable and reasonably estimable.

Revenue Recognition
Our primary source of revenue is generated through the sale of non-motorized towable RV units, motorhome RV units, and marine units to our independent dealer network (customers). Unit revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when the performance obligation is satisfied and control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, which occurs when the unit is shipped to or picked-up from the manufacturing facilities by the customer. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods or services. We recognize revenue based on an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Our transaction price consideration is fixed, unless otherwise disclosed as variable consideration. The amount of consideration received and recorded to revenue can vary with changes in marketing incentives and discounts offered to customers. These marketing incentives and discounts are considered variable consideration. We adjust the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Our payment terms are typically before or on delivery, and do not include a significant financing component.

Net revenue includes shipping and handling charges billed directly to customers, and we also generate income through the sale of certain parts and services, acting as the principal in these arrangements. We have made an accounting policy election to account for any shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control as a fulfillment cost that is accrued when control is transferred. We also have made an accounting policy election to exclude from revenue sales and usage-based taxes collected.
Our contracts include some incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. We have made an accounting policy election to not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the unit’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract. Contract costs incurred related to the sale of manufactured units are expensed at the point-in-time when the related revenue is recognized.

Table of Contents
The revenue standard requirements are applied to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations) with similar characteristics for transactions where it is expected that the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts (or performance obligations) within that portfolio.

Refer to Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Advertising
Advertising costs, which consist primarily of trade shows and online content, were $16.8 million, $20.9 million, and $21.9 million in Fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Advertising costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses and are expensed as incurred on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income represents the change in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from sources other than shareholders. The difference between comprehensive income and net income was not material for the fiscal years ended August 29, 2026, August 30, 2025, and August 31, 2024.

Subsequent Events
In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing noting no material subsequent events.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires expanded disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard and applied the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in our consolidated financial statements beginning with our annual reporting for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2026 and filings hereafter. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The incremental disclosures required under the standard appear in Note 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes all references to software development project stages and requires entities to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project; and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We will adopt the standard in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the first quarter of our fiscal year beginning August 27, 2028 and filings thereafter.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the assessment of whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an inducement conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We will adopt the standard in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the first quarter of our fiscal year beginning August 30, 2026 and filings thereafter.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation Of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of additional disaggregated information about significant expenses within relevant income statement captions, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We will adopt the standard in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending August 26, 2028 and filings thereafter.

Note 2.    Business Segments

We have nine operating segments: 1) Grand Design towables, 2) Winnebago towables, 3) Winnebago motorhomes, 4) Newmar motorhomes, 5) Grand Design motorhomes, 6) Chris-Craft marine, 7) Barletta marine, 8) Winnebago specialty vehicles, and 9) Lithionics. Financial performance is evaluated based on each operating segment's operating income, as defined below.

Our three reportable segments are: Towable RV (an aggregation of the Grand Design towables and the Winnebago towables operating segments), Motorhome RV (an aggregation of the Winnebago motorhomes, Newmar motorhomes, and Grand Design motorhomes operating segments), and Marine (an aggregation of the Chris-Craft marine and Barletta marine operating segments). Towable RV is comprised of non-motorized RV products that are generally towed by another vehicle, along with other related manufactured products and services. Motorhome RV is comprised of products that include a motorhome chassis, along with other related manufactured products and services. Marine is comprised of products that include boats, along with other related manufactured products and services.

The Corporate / All Other category includes the Winnebago specialty vehicles and Lithionics operating segments as well as certain corporate administration expenses, such as corporate leadership and administration costs. None of these operating segments have ever met any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments.

Our Chief Executive Officer, the CODM, regularly reviews consolidated financial results in their entirety and operating segment financial information through operating income and has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. Our CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the consolidated enterprise and operating segments by reviewing budget to actual comparisons within the financial package regularly provided to them. Each operating segment is allocated resources, and segment management is responsible for operating decisions and assessing performance within their respective operating segment. Capital is allocated to each operating segment by the CODM based on factors such as business size, operating segment performance (measured by operating income), strategic initiatives of both the operating segment and the enterprise, and the total available capital of the consolidated enterprise. The accounting policies of all reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We monitor and evaluate the operating performance of our reportable segments based on operating income. Operating income is defined as net revenues less cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).

Identifiable assets of the reportable segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and certain deferred tax balances. The general corporate assets are included in the Corporate / All Other category.

Net sales and significant expense categories included in operating income by reportable segment as well as a reconciliation to consolidated income before income taxes are as follows:

Note 3.    Investments and Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, we utilize market data or other assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market and adjust for non-performance and/or other risks associated with us as well as counterparties, as appropriate. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Table of Contents
Assets that Fund Deferred Compensation
Our assets that fund deferred compensation are marketable equity securities measured at fair value using quoted market prices and primarily consist of equity-based mutual funds. These securities, used to fund the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, are classified as Level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing stock prices are readily available. Refer to Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding this plan.

The proportion of the assets that will fund the deferred compensation payments within a year are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining assets are classified as non-current and are included in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain non-financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets primarily include goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and right-of-use lease assets. These assets were originally recognized at amounts equal to the fair value determined at date of acquisition or purchase. If certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, we will evaluate the non-financial asset for impairment. If an impairment has occurred, the asset will be written down to its current estimated fair value. No impairments were recorded during Fiscal 2026. During Fiscal 2025, we recognized an impairment charge of approximately $1.2 million related to long-lived assets. During Fiscal 2024, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $30.3 million, representing a full impairment of the goodwill balance associated with the Chris-Craft reporting unit. No other impairments were recorded during Fiscal 2025 and 2024. Refer to Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding goodwill and intangible assets.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
Certain financial instruments are not measured at fair value but are recorded at carrying amounts approximating fair value based on their short-term nature. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and other payables. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Our debt obligations are recorded at amortized cost but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The fair value of our debt was determined using current quoted prices in active markets for our publicly traded debt obligations, which is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information about the fair value of our debt.

Note 6.    Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred prior to the annual assessment. No impairments were identified during Fiscal 2026 and 2025. However, during Fiscal 2026, we observed a reduction in the fair value cushion for the Chris-Craft trade name, as the estimated fair value exceeded its $29.3 million carrying value by less than 10%. A sustained decline in revenues, or other adverse changes in macroeconomic or industry conditions could result in an impairment charge in a future reporting period. During our Fiscal 2024 impairment assessment, we recognized a $30.3 million impairment charge within the marine segment equal to the full carrying value of goodwill associated with the Chris-Craft reporting unit. The amount of accumulated impairments to goodwill as of August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025 was $30.3 million.

The valuation used to test goodwill for impairment is dependent upon a number of significant estimates and assumptions, including macroeconomic conditions, growth rates, competitive activities, cost containment, margin expansion and our business plans. We believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable. However, future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates that are used in our goodwill impairment analysis, including discount and tax rates or future cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values.

Note 7. Product Warranties

We provide certain service and warranty on our products. From time to time, we also voluntarily incur costs for certain warranty-type expenses occurring after the normal warranty period expires to help protect the reputation of our products and maintain the goodwill of our customers. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon historical warranty and service claims experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and cost experience becomes available.

In addition to the costs associated with the contractual warranty coverage provided on products, we also occasionally incur costs as a result of additional service actions not covered by warranties, including product recalls and customer satisfaction actions. Although we estimate and reserve for the cost of these service actions when probable and estimable, there can be no assurance that expense levels will remain at current levels or such reserves will continue to be adequate.

Credit Agreements
On August 20, 2026, we amended and restated in its entirety our existing asset-based revolving credit facility evidenced by that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Existing ABL Credit Facility") dated as of July 15, 2022 with a new asset based revolving credit facility evidenced by a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 20, 2026 ("ABL Credit Facility") to among other things, extend the maturity date applicable under the Existing ABL Credit Facility from July 15, 2027 to August 20, 2031 (subject to certain factors which may accelerate the maturity date). The $350.0 million credit facility is on a revolving basis, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The ABL Credit Facility is available for issuance of letters of credit to a specified limit of $35.0 million. We pay a commitment fee of 0.25% based on the average daily amount of the facility available, but unused during the most recent quarter. We can elect to base the interest rate on various rates plus specific spreads depending on the borrowing amount outstanding. If drawn, interest on ABL Credit Facility borrowings is at a floating rate based upon our election, either term SOFR or REVSOFR30 (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility agreement), plus an applicable spread between 1.25% and 1.75%, depending on the availability of the facility during the most recent quarter. Based on current availability, we would pay an applicable spread of 1.25%. In connection with the amendment, we capitalized $2.2 million of issuance costs that are being amortized over the five-year term of the ABL Credit Facility.

Senior Secured Notes
On July 8, 2020, we closed our private offering (the “Senior Secured Notes Offering”) of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes were issued in accordance with an Indenture dated as of July 8, 2020 (the “Indenture”). The Senior Secured Notes will mature on July 15, 2028 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes accrues starting July 8, 2020 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, which began on January 15, 2021. The Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees are secured by (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all of our existing and future assets (other than certain collateral under the ABL Credit Facility) and (ii) a second-priority lien on our present and future receivables, inventory and other related assets and proceeds that secure the ABL Credit Facility on a first-priority basis.

The Indenture limits certain of our abilities (subject to certain exceptions and qualifications) to incur additional debt and provide additional guarantees; make restricted payments; create or permit certain liens; make certain asset sales; use the proceeds from the sale of assets and subsidiary stock; create or permit restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other inter-company distributions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our restricted subsidiaries.

Debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated debt agreement. If early principal payments are made on the Senior Secured Notes, a proportional amount of the unamortized debt issuance costs is expensed. As part of the Senior Secured Notes Offering, we capitalized $7.5 million in debt issuance costs that are being amortized over the eight-year term of the agreement.

Table of Contents
On February 3, 2025, we commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash up to $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes (the "Tender Offer"). On February 18, 2025, we amended the Tender Offer by increasing the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes to $100.0 million. On February 20, 2025, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes were validly tendered and accepted. In connection with the Senior Secured Notes Tender Offer, we recorded a loss on note repurchase of $2.0 million in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025. In addition, accrued interest of $0.6 million was paid in connection with the Tender Offer.

On February 20, 2026, we redeemed $100.0 million of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, which brought the remaining principal amount outstanding to $100.0 million. In connection with the redemption of the Senior Secured Notes, we recorded a loss on note repurchase of $0.8 million in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, accrued interest of $0.6 million was paid in connection with the redemption of the Senior Secured Notes.

2030 Convertible Notes
On January 23, 2024, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $339.8 million. The 2030 Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 3.25%, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2024, and will mature on January 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

The 2030 Convertible Notes may be converted at any time on or after July 15, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date. Upon conversion, we will settle the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes in cash, and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.

The initial conversion rate of the 2030 Convertible Notes was 11.3724 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $87.93 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events specified in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest on any 2030 Convertible Note being converted. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) during the make-whole fundamental change conversion period (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes), we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by the number of additional shares described in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes for a holder that elects to convert such holder’s 2030 Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. As of August 29, 2026, there have been no changes to the initial conversion rate.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 15, 2029, the 2030 Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances:
1.during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on March 31, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) per share of the common stock is more than 130% of the applicable conversion price (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
2.during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period to the 2030 Convertible Notes") in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period to the 2030 Convertible Notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the common stock and the conversion rate for the 2030 Convertible Notes on each such trading day;
3.upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events set forth in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes; or
4.if we call such 2030 Convertible Notes for redemption (as described below).

The 2030 Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after January 15, 2028 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time (as set forth in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes). The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Table of Contents
On January 18, 2024 and January 19, 2024, in connection with the offering of the 2030 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “2030 Hedge Transactions”) that cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2030 Convertible Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount due, as the case may be, upon conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes in the event that the market price of our common stock is greater than the strike price of the 2030 Hedge Transactions, which was initially $87.93 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the 2030 Hedge Transactions), corresponding to the initial conversion price of the 2030 Convertible Notes.

On January 18, 2024 and January 19, 2024, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the “2030 Warrant Transactions” and, together with the 2030 Hedge Transactions, the “2030 Call Spread Transactions”), whereby we sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2030 Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The initial strike price of the 2030 warrants is $135.28 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the 2030 Warrant Transactions), which is approximately 100% above the last reported sale price of our common stock on January 18, 2024. The 2030 Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to our stockholders to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2030 Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.
  
The 2030 Hedge Transactions and the 2030 Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, and in each case, are not part of the terms of the 2030 Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the 2030 Convertible Notes. Holders of the 2030 Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 2030 Call Spread Transactions.

Accounting Treatment of the 2030 Convertible Notes and Related 2030 Hedge Transactions and 2030 Warrant Transactions
The 2030 Convertible Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. Interest expense, representing the amortization of the $10.2 million of debt issuance costs as well as the contractual interest expense, are amortized using an effective interest rate of 3.8% over the term of the 2030 Convertible Notes. We recorded $13.0 million of interest expense during each of Fiscal 2026 and 2025.

The net after-tax cost incurred in connection with the 2030 Call Spread Transactions was $20.6 million. These transactions are classified as equity and are not remeasured each reporting period.

Note 9. Leases

Our leases primarily include operating leases for equipment and real estate, including office space and manufacturing space. Financing leases are primarily for real estate and solar energy producing equipment. For any lease with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the related lease assets and liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either operating or finance leases at the inception of an agreement when it is determined that a lease exists. We have lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, and have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the terms of multiple lease agreements are materially consistent, we have elected the portfolio approach for our asset and liability calculations.

Lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future payments over the lease term at commencement date. We generally use a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, including lease term, in determining the present value of future payments. The assumed lease terms generally do not include options to extend or terminate the lease unless it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

Some of our real estate operating leases require payment of real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and insurance. In addition, some of the leases are subject to annual changes in the consumer price index ("CPI"). These components comprise the majority of our variable lease cost and are excluded from the present value of the lease obligations. Fixed payments may contain predetermined fixed rent escalations. For operating leases, we recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.

Deferred Compensation Benefits
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
We have a non-qualified deferred compensation program which permitted key employees to annually elect to defer a portion of their compensation until their retirement. The plan has been closed to any additional deferrals since January 2001. The retirement benefit to be provided is based upon the amount of compensation deferred and the age of the individual at the time of the contracted deferral. An individual generally vests at age 55 and 5 years of participation under the plan. For deferrals prior to December 1992, vesting occurs at the later of age 55 and 5 years of service from first deferral or 20 years of service. Deferred compensation expense was not material for the fiscal years ended August 29, 2026, August 30, 2025, and August 31, 2024.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP")
The primary purpose of this plan was to provide our officers and managers with supplemental retirement income for a period of 15 years after retirement. We have not offered this plan on a continuing basis to members of management since 1998. The plan was funded with individual whole life insurance policies (split dollar program) owned by the named insured officer or manager. We initially paid the life insurance premiums on the life of the individual, and the individual would receive life insurance and supplemental cash payments during the 15 years following retirement. In October 2008, the plan was amended as a result of changes in the tax and accounting regulations and rising administrative costs. Under the redesigned SERP, the underlying life insurance policies previously owned by the insured individual became company-owned life insurance ("COLI") by a release of all interests by the participant and assignment to Winnebago Industries as a prerequisite to participate in the SERP and transition from the Split Dollar Program. This program remains closed to new employee participation.

To assist in funding the deferred compensation and SERP liabilities, we have invested in COLI policies. The cash surrender value of these policies is presented in investment in life insurance in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and consists of the following:

Cash value$64.5 $62.2 
Borrowings(36.2)(35.1)
Investment in life insurance$28.3 $27.1 

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
In December 2006, we adopted the Winnebago Industries, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Executive Deferred Compensation Plan"). Under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, corporate officers and certain key employees may annually choose to defer up to 50% of their salary and up to 100% of their cash incentive awards. The assets are presented as other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such assets for each period ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025 was $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Profit Sharing Plan
We have a qualified profit sharing and contributory 401(k) plan for eligible employees. The plan provides matching contributions made by Winnebago Industries and discretionary contributions as approved by the Board of Directors. Matching contributions to the plan for Fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024 were $14.4 million, $14.4 million, and $15.0 million, respectively. No discretionary contributions were approved in Fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024.

Note 11. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

Repurchase Commitments
Generally, manufacturers in the same industries as us enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. Most dealers 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 units purchased.

Our repurchase agreements generally 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 24 months, provide that our liability will be the lesser of remaining principal owed by the dealer to the lending institution, or dealer invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. Our liability cannot exceed 100% of the dealer invoice. In certain instances, we also repurchase inventory from 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 recreational vehicles or boats to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. The total contingent liability on all repurchase agreements was approximately $1,576.6 million and $1,640.0 million as of August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, respectively.

Our loss reserve for repurchase commitments contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment regarding a number of factors. Our risk of loss related to these repurchase commitments is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous dealers and lenders. The aggregate contingent liability related to our repurchase agreements represents all financed dealer inventory at the period-end reporting date subject to a repurchase agreement, net of the greater of periodic reductions per the agreement or dealer principal payments. Based on these repurchase agreements and our historical loss experience, an associated loss reserve is established which is included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our repurchase accrual was $1.3 million and $1.6 million as of August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, respectively. Repurchase risk is affected by the credit worthiness of our dealer network. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to establish the loss reserve for repurchase commitments.

There was no material activity related to repurchase agreements during Fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024.

Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings which are considered ordinary and routine litigation incidental to the business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. While we believe the ultimate disposition of litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, the possibility exists that such litigation may have an impact on our results for a particular reporting period in which litigation effects become probable and reasonably estimable. Though we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change related to these matters, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and our view of these matters may change in the future.

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

On December 11, 2018 our shareholders approved the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan was most recently amended and restated effective December 16, 2025 ("Restated Plan"). The Restated Plan continues to allow us to grant or issue stock options, restricted share awards, restricted stock unit awards, and other equity awards to key employees and to non-employee directors. The Restated Plan increased the number of shares of our common stock that may be awarded and issued under the Restated Plan by 820,000. As of August 29, 2026, 2.7 million shares remain available for future issuance, which will be increased by the number of shares subject to any outstanding awards under the Restated Plan or the 2014 Omnibus Equity, Performance Award, and Incentive Compensation Plan (“2014 Plan”) that expire or are forfeited or canceled. Full value awards granted under the Restated Plan will count as two shares against the share reserve. Outstanding Awards under the 2014 Plan will continue to be subject to the terms of the 2014 Plan, as applicable. Shares remaining available for future awards under the 2014 Plan were not carried over into the Restated Plan.

Our outstanding options have a 10-year term. Options issued to employees generally vest over a three-year period in equal annual installments on the annual anniversary dates following the grant date. Share awards generally vest based either upon continued employment ("time-based") or upon attainment of specified goals. Outstanding share awards that are not time-based vest at the end of a three-year incentive period based upon the achievement of company performance goals ("performance-based"). Generally, time-based share awards vest in the same manner as options, except for time-based share awards to directors, which vest one year from the grant date.

Dividend equivalents are granted in connection with restricted stock unit awards, which accrue on the same basis as dividends payable on the shares of our common stock during the vesting period. No dividend equivalents are paid on any restricted stock units that are forfeited prior to the vesting date.

Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") permits employees to purchase our common stock at a 15% discount from the lesser of the market price on the first day of semi-annual purchase periods and the market price on the last day of such purchase periods. In Fiscal 2026 and 2025, approximately 85,000 shares and 75,000 shares, respectively, were purchased through the ESPP. Plan participants had accumulated $0.4 million and $0.5 million for periods ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, respectively, to purchase our common stock pursuant to this plan. As of August 29, 2026, a total of 750,000 shares were authorized for issuance and approximately 394,000 shares remain available for future issuance under the ESPP.

Compensation expense associated with share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service or performance period of the award, unless accelerated by certain retirement eligibility provisions. Forfeitures are recorded when they occur. Total stock-based compensation expense for the past three fiscal years consisted of the following components:

(2) State taxes in California, Iowa, and Indiana made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category in Fiscal 2025.
(3) State taxes in Indiana, Florida, Texas, California, Iowa, and Tennessee made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category in Fiscal 2024.


Our effective tax rate increased to 22.3% in Fiscal 2026 compared to 14.5% in Fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily driven by current year state tax adjustments, increased valuation allowances, and a reduced benefit from favorable items due to higher pre-tax income.

Accrued interest and penalties0.2 0.4 0.5 
Total unrecognized tax benefits$4.1 $4.8 $5.4 

If the remaining uncertain tax positions are ultimately resolved favorably, $3.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits would have a favorable impact on our effective tax rate. It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

We file a U.S. Federal tax return, as well as returns in various international and state jurisdictions. Although certain years are no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("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. As of August 29, 2026, our federal returns from Fiscal 2023 to present are subject to review by the IRS. With limited exception, state returns from Fiscal 2022 to present continue to be subject to review by state taxing jurisdictions. Several years may lapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved and it is difficult to predict the outcome of such audits. We believe we have adequately reserved for our exposure to potential additional payments for uncertain tax positions in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Recent Tax Legislation

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which included various provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in Fiscal 2025 and others implemented through Fiscal 2027.

During Fiscal 2026, none of the relevant provisions of the OBBBA had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. The OBBBA is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in future periods.

Diluted earnings per common share(1)
$1.21 $0.91 $0.44 
(1)    Earnings per share amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers and therefore may not recalculate using the rounded numbers provided.

The dilutive effect of stock compensation awards, if any, was determined using the treasury stock method while the dilutive impact of the 2025 Convertible Notes and the 2030 Convertible Notes was determined using the if-converted method. Under the treasury stock method, shares associated with certain anti-dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation because the exercise of those options would lead to a net reduction in common shares outstanding or anti-dilution. Under the if-converted method, the 2025 Convertible Notes are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, as the 2025 Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election. If dilutive, the resulting shares are included in the denominator of the calculation and interest charges, net of any income tax effects are added back to the numerator of the calculation. For the 2030 Convertible Notes, we are required to settle the principal amount in cash and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election. As such, the 2030 Convertible Notes only have an impact on diluted earnings per share when the average share price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price.
