“Our fiscal second quarter results reflect continued execution in line with our expectations in a challenging retail environment. The disciplined actions we have taken over the past several quarters to streamline operations, optimize our cost structure and strategically align our product portfolio have positioned us well for our fiscal second half. Even in a down market, our teams continuously demonstrate the ability to drive performance through operational focus and thoughtful capital deployment. The recently announced strategic realignment of our North American RV operations represents an important milestone in our ongoing evolution. This realignment builds upon foundational initiatives already taken, or currently underway, and positions us to further optimize efficiency, enhance collaboration across brands and strengthen our long-term competitive advantages. We believe this is the right time to take this step, ensuring we are structurally prepared to outperform as the market stabilizes and subsequent demand improves,” stated Bob Martin, president and chief executive officer of THOR Industries. “As we enter the spring selling season, we do so with momentum, confidence and a clearly defined strategy going forward. Dealer engagement remains strong, consumer interest in the RV lifestyle continues to be encouraging and our innovation pipeline is robust. We remain confident in our expected performance trajectory for the second half of our fiscal 2026 and in our ability to continue creating value for our shareholders through disciplined execution and strategic operational excellence.”
Todd Woelfer, senior vice president and chief operating officer, added, “Our strategic operational changes will leverage the various initiatives put in place over recent quarters and allow us to improve our sourcing, standardize our processes, align our brand portfolio and implement enterprise-wide data integration, along with other benefits. Previous strategic initiatives that management has implemented were executed with the intention and long-term vision that allows us to move forward with this evolutionary step. Our North American operations continue to benefit from those initiatives as our Towable segment held margins relatively well despite a decline in volume while our Motorized segment and supply companies experienced further top and bottom-line improvements for the quarter. Our supply companies, in particular, have performed exceptionally well, with marked improvements in both net sales and gross profit margin percentage during the quarter compared to the prior-year period. In our European segment, quarterly results continue to be impacted by a price-aggressive marketplace that has pressured margins. The European segment results included further restructuring costs this quarter that will have a long-term benefit to the segment’s operating results as we right-size its footprint and position the segment for further improvements to its margin profile. Despite the non-recurring costs and pressures from the overall European market, our European segment remains aligned with our internal full-year plan and we expect it will follow its typically back-loaded fiscal second half.”
“During the quarter, we reduced our debt by approximately $47.1 million while also returning capital to shareholders through $25.2 million of share repurchases and, due to the timing of payments, a total of $54.8 million of dividend payments which related to our first two quarters of fiscal 2026. These actions reflect our disciplined capital allocation framework and our commitment to maintaining financial flexibility across the cycle,” added Colleen Zuhl, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “Our strong liquidity position and continued deleveraging provide us with both resilience and optionality. We are focused on managing risk, protecting margins, driving cash flow and ensuring the Company is well positioned to act decisively when compelling growth opportunities arise. Importantly, we remain consistent in our approach to capital deployment–prioritizing balance sheet strength, investing in operational excellence and returning capital to shareholders, all while preserving the capacity to pursue strategic initiatives that enhance our competitive position and create long-term shareholder value. As we continue executing our strategic initiatives, including the evolution of our North American RV operations, we are confident that our financial foundation enables us to be both disciplined and opportunistic in advancing THOR’s growth objectives.”
Second Quarter Financial Results
THOR’s consolidated results were primarily driven by the results of its individual reportable segments as noted below.
Segment Results
North American Towable RVs
Net sales declined in THOR’s fiscal 2026 second quarter compared to the prior-year period due to a 23.0% decrease in unit shipments as the company continued to work with its independent dealers to manage channel inventory throughout the winter months as the company enters the spring selling season. Despite the reduction in unit shipment volume, the gross profit margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 declined by just 50 basis points compared to the prior-year period, influenced by higher material and overhead costs, partially offset by lower warranty costs and a favorable shift in product mix towards fifth wheels. Income before income taxes for the three and six months ended Jan. 31, includes gains on sales of assets of $9.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior-year periods of $0.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
North American Motorized RVs
Net sales for the North American Motorized segment increased 29.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior-year period, impacted by a 28.3% increase in unit shipments that was bolstered by shipments to rental customers as well as products that continue to resonate with customers at critical retail price points. The gross profit margin percentage expanded 170 basis points compared to the prior-year period due to volume leverage and lower labor costs.
