Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 : Basis of Presentation

The "Company," "we," "our" and "us" are used interchangeably to refer to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Winnebago of Indiana, LLC, as appropriate in the context.

We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Iowa on February 12, 1958 and adopted our present name on February 28, 1961. Our executive offices are located at 605 West Crystal Lake Road in Forest City, Iowa. Our telephone number is (641) 585-3535; our website is www.winnebagoind.com. Our common stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol “WGO.”

In our opinion, the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of May 31, 2014 and the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows for the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 and 2013 . The consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet data as of August 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 .

Fiscal Period

We follow a 52-/53-week fiscal year, ending the last Saturday in August. Fiscal 2014 is a 52-week year; the first quarter ending November 30, 2013 had 13 weeks; the first nine months ending May 31, 2014 had 39 weeks. Fiscal 2013 was a 53-week fiscal year; the first quarter ending December 1, 2012 had 14 weeks; the first nine months ending June 1, 2013 had 40 weeks.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) , which requires entities to present unrecognized tax benefits as a liability and not combine it with deferred tax assets to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 (our Fiscal 2015). We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which specifies how and when to recognize revenue as well as providing informative, relevant disclosures. ASU 2014-09 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (our Fiscal 2018). We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 : Concentration Risk

One of our dealer organizations accounted for 18.4% and 26.9% of our consolidated net revenue for the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 , respectively. A second dealer organization accounted for 11.9% and 13.6% of our consolidated net revenue for the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 , respectively. The loss of either or both of these dealer organizations could have a significant adverse effect on our business. In addition, deterioration in the liquidity or creditworthiness of these dealers could negatively impact our sales and could trigger repurchase obligations under our repurchase agreements.

Note 3 : Investments and Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We account for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measurement and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

Cash Equivalents

The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value as original maturities are less than three months. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds traded in an active market with no restrictions.

Table of Contents

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair values:



			Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered As
(In thousands)	Fair Value at May 31, 2014		Level 1 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Level 2 Significant Other Observable Inputs		Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs

			Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered As

Fixed income funds	287		287		—		—
Total assets at fair value	$	10,264	$	8,156	$	—	$	2,108

The following table provides a reconciliation between the beginning and ending balances of items measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the table above that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):



	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
(In thousands)	May 31, 2014		June 1, 2013			May 31, 2014			June 1, 2013
Balance at beginning of period	$	—	$	8,735		$	2,108		$	9,074
Transfer to Level 2	—		(4,605		)	—			(4,855		)
Net change included in other comprehensive income	—		255			242			166
Sales	—		—			(2,350		)	—
Balance at end of period	$	—	$	4,385		$	—		$	4,385

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Long-Term Investments

Our long-term investments were comprised of ARS. Our long-term ARS investments were classified as Level 3, as quoted prices were unavailable and there was insufficient observable ARS market information available to determine the fair value of our ARS investments. Due to limited market information, we utilized a DCF model to derive an estimate of fair value for the ARS for prior periods. The assumptions used in preparing the DCF model included estimates with respect to the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments, forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks, the probability of full repayment of the principal considering the credit quality and guarantees in place and the rate of return required by investors to own such securities given the current liquidity risk associated with ARS. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 we redeemed our last ARS holding at par value of $2.4 million .

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. They are classified as Level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing stock prices are readily available. These securities fund the Executive Share Option Plan (see Note 9 ), a deferred compensation program, and are presented as other assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

Our non-financial assets, which include goodwill and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, we must evaluate the non-financial asset for impairment. If an impairment did occur, the asset is required to be recorded at the estimated fair value. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 , no impairments were recorded for non-financial assets.

Note 4 : Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:



(In thousands)	May 31, 2014			August 31, 2013
Finished goods	$	34,458		$	43,927
Work-in-process	44,993			46,257
Raw materials	69,063			52,201
Total	148,514			142,385
LIFO reserve	(30,779		)	(29,844		)
Total inventories	$	117,735		$	112,541

The above value of inventories, before reduction for the LIFO reserve, approximates replacement cost. Of the $148.5 million and $142.4 million inventory at May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 , respectively, $142.0 million and $136.1 million is valued on a LIFO basis. Towables inventory of $6.5 million and $6.3 million at May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 , respectively, is valued on a FIFO basis.

Note 5 : Net Investment in Operating Leases and Operating Lease Repurchase Obligation

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 we delivered 520 RV rental units to Apollo, a US RV rental company. Under the terms of a sales agreement with Apollo, all units were paid for upon delivery. To secure an order of this magnitude, we contractually agreed to repurchase up to 343 of the units at specified prices after one season of rental use (by no later than December 31, 2014) provided certain conditions are met. As a result, the units subject to repurchase are accounted for as operating leases and are recorded in the balance sheet as net investment in operating leases of $16.5 million at May 31, 2014 . The original cost of these units is being depreciated down to the estimated net realizable value of the rental units during the time frame that the units are in rental use. Also, we recorded in the balance sheet operating lease repurchase obligations of $16.1 million at May 31, 2014 which represents our estimated repurchase obligation per the terms of the sales agreement.

Estimated net lease revenue is being recorded ratably over the rental period that Apollo holds the units based upon the difference between the proceeds received and the estimated repurchase obligation less the estimated depreciation expense of the unit. When we sell the repurchased units we will record a gain or loss for the difference, if any, between the estimated residual value of the unit and the actual resale value as a component of net lease revenue. We recorded $100,000 of net lease revenue during the third quarter of Fiscal 2014.

We anticipate repurchasing most of the units subject to repurchase during the first quarter of Fiscal 2015 and for any units subject to repurchase which are not returned we will remove the remaining net investment in lease and repurchase obligation balance for such units and record a net gain or loss for the difference between these two balances.

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2014, 3M exercised an option to purchase warehouse facilities that they had leased from us since 1980. Net proceeds from the sale were $2.3 million , resulting in a gain of $629,000 . We received lease payments of $860,000 and recorded depreciation charges of $148,000 in Fiscal 2013 related to these warehouse facilities.

Note 7 : Credit Facilities

On October 31, 2012, we entered into the Credit Agreement with GECC. The Credit Agreement provides for an initial $35.0 million revolving credit facility based on the Company's eligible inventory and was to expire on October 31, 2015, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. There is no termination fee associated with the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains no financial covenant restrictions for borrowings where we have excess borrowing availability under the facility of greater than $5.0 million . The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with a fixed charge ratio if excess borrowing availability under the facility is less than $5.0 million . In addition the Credit Agreement also includes a framework to expand the size of the facility up to $50.0 million , based on mutually agreeable terms at the time of the expansion. The initial unused line fee associated with the Credit Agreement is 0.5% per annum and has the ability to be lowered based upon facility usage.

The Credit Agreement contains typical affirmative representations and covenants for a credit agreement of this size and nature. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains negative covenants limiting our ability, among other things, to incur debt, grant liens, make acquisitions, make certain investments, pay certain dividends and distributions, engage in mergers, consolidations or acquisitions and sell certain assets. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in all of our accounts and other receivables, chattel paper, documents, deposit accounts, instruments, equipment, inventory, investment property, leasehold interest, cash and cash equivalents, letter-of-credit rights, most real property and fixtures and certain other business assets.

On May 28, 2014 , we amended this Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement extends the term of the credit facility from October 31, 2015 to May 28, 2019 . In addition, interest on loans made under the Amended Credit Facility will be based on LIBOR plus a margin of 2.0% . The amendment also revised and added definitions of several terms including an expanded Restricted Payment Basket that now permits up to $15.0 million purchases of company stock or cash dividends to be excluded from the Fixed Charge ratio. In addition, the definition of Eligible Accounts was expanded to permit certain receivables to be included in the Borrowing Base. The Amended Credit Agreement also permits us to engage in certain sale lease buyback transactions in the ordinary course of business subject to certain restrictions and increases our ability to incur capital lease obligations.

As of the date of this report, we are in compliance with all terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, and no borrowings have been made thereunder.

Note 8 : Warranty

We provide our motorhome customers a comprehensive 12 -month/ 15,000 -mile warranty on our Class A, B and C motorhomes, and a 3 -year/ 36,000 -mile structural warranty on Class A and C sidewalls and floors. We provide a comprehensive 12 -month warranty on all towable products. We have also incurred costs for certain warranty-type expenses which occurred after the normal warranty period. We have voluntarily agreed to pay such costs to help protect the reputation of our products and the goodwill of our customers. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon past warranty claims and unit sales history and adjusted as required to reflect actual costs incurred, as information becomes available. 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.

Changes in our product warranty liability are as follows:

Postretirement Health Care Benefits

We provide certain health care and other benefits for retired employees hired before April 1, 2001, who have fulfilled eligibility requirements at age 55 with 15 years of continuous service. We use a September 1 measurement date for this plan and our postretirement health care plan currently is not funded. Changes in the postretirement benefit plan include:


•	In Fiscal 2005, we established dollar caps on the amount that we will pay for postretirement health care benefits per retiree on an annual basis so that we were not exposed to continued medical inflation. Retirees are required to pay a monthly premium in excess of the employer dollar caps for medical coverage based on years of service and age at retirement.


•	In January 2012 the employer-established dollar caps were reduced by 10% , which reduced our liability for postretirement health care by $4.6 million and is being amortized as prior service credit over 7.8 years .


•	In January 2013 the employer-established dollar caps were further reduced by 10% , which reduced our liability for postretirement health care by approximately $4.3 million and is being amortized as prior service credit over 7.5 years .


•	In January 2014 the employer-established dollar caps were further reduced by 10% , which reduced our liability for postretirement health care by approximately $3.6 million and is being amortized as prior service credit over 7.3 years .

Net periodic postretirement benefit income consisted of the following components:

Note 10 : Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In October 2013, we adopted the 2014 Omnibus Equity, Performance Award, and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the "Plan"). It was approved by shareholders in December 2013 and allows us to grant or issue non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, share awards and other equity compensation to key employees and to non-employee directors.

The Plan replaced the 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan which had a ten-year term. No new grants may be made from the 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan on or after January 1, 2014. Any stock awards previously granted under the 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan shall continue to vest and /or be exercisable in accordance with their original terms and conditions.

On October 16, 2013 and October 10, 2012 the Board of Directors granted an aggregate of 84,200 and 155,600 shares, respectively, of restricted common stock to our key employees and non-employee directors under the 2004 Plan. The value of the restricted stock award is determined using the intrinsic value method which, in this case, is based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

Stock-based compensation expense was $305,000 and $262,000 during the third quarters of Fiscal 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $1.7 million and $1.3 million during the nine months of Fiscal 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Of the $1.7 million in Fiscal 2014, $1.1 million related to the October 16, 2013 grant of 84,200 shares. The remainder is related to the amortization of previously granted restricted stock awards, as well as non-employee director stock units issued in

lieu of director fees. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the award or over a period ending with the employee's eligible retirement date, if earlier.

Note 11 : Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

Repurchase Commitments

Generally, manufacturers in the RV industry enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. Most dealers' RVs 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 recreation vehicles purchased.

Our repurchase agreements 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 18 months, provide that our liability will be the lesser of remaining principal owed by the dealer or dealer invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. Our contingent liability on these repurchase agreements was approximately $361.4 million and $232.9 million at May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 , respectively.

In certain instances, we also repurchase inventory from our 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 recreation vehicles to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. Incremental repurchase exposure beyond existing repurchase agreements, related to dealer inventory in states that we have had historical experience of repurchasing inventory, totaled $7.0 million and $8.0 million at May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 , respectively.

Our risk of loss related to our 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 reporting date subject to a repurchase agreement, net of the greater of periodic reductions per the agreement or dealer principal payments. Based on the repurchase exposure as previously described, we established an associated loss reserve. Our accrued losses on repurchases were $1.4 million as of May 31, 2014 and $1.3 million as of August 31, 2013 .

A summary of repurchase activity is as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	May 31, 2014		June 1, 2013		May 31, 2014		June 1, 2013
Inventory repurchased:
Units	—		13		14		13
Dollars	$	—	$	260	$	325	$	260
Inventory resold:
Units	—		13		14		13
Cash collected	$	—	$	207	$	257	$	207
Loss recognized	$	—	$	53	$	68	$	53
Units in ending inventory	—		—		—		—

We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our loss reserve for repurchase commitments. A hypothetical change of a 10% increase or decrease in our significant repurchase commitment assumptions at May 31, 2014 would have affected net income by approximately $366,000 .

Litigation

We are involved in various legal proceedings which are ordinary litigation incidental to our business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We believe while the final resolution of any such litigation may have an impact on our results for a particular reporting period, the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have any material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 12 : Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes . The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns.

Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances arise due to uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets. ASC 740 requires that companies assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred

Table of Contents

tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a “more-likely-than-not” standard. In making such assessments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. A company's current or previous losses are given more weight than its future outlook. Based on ASC 740 guidelines, as of May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 , we have applied a valuation allowance of $1.4 million and $1.6 million , respectively, against our deferred tax assets. We will continue to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realizable at each reporting period and our valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

We file tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction, as well as various international and state jurisdictions. Although certain years are no longer subject to examinations by the 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 if they either have been or will be used in a future period. Due to such carryback claims, our federal returns from Fiscal 2004 to present continue to be subject to review by the IRS. Periodically, various state and local jurisdictions conduct audits, therefore, a variety of years are subject to state and local jurisdiction review.

As of May 31, 2014 , our unrecognized tax benefits were $1.7 million and accrued interest and penalties of $1.5 million , of which if all were realized $2.3 million could have a positive impact on the overall effective tax rate. It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits as tax expense. We do not anticipate any significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. Actual results may differ materially from this estimate.

At the end of the third quarters of Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 , there were options outstanding to purchase 457,421 shares and 669,494 shares, respectively, of common stock at an average price of $30.38 and $29.83 , respectively, which were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because they are considered anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method per ASC 260, Earnings Per Share .

Company Outlook

Our motorized dealer backlog is an indicator of demand for our product in the current marketplace. We believe that the decrease in our backlog (as noted in the table below) is a result of more timely delivery through increased production rates and improved chassis supply. We have been increasing our production rates throughout the fiscal year and leased an additional production facility in which production began late in the second quarter of Fiscal 2014.

Our motorized sales order backlog of 2,357 as of May 31, 2014 represents orders to be shipped in the next two quarters:

⁽²⁾	Our backlog includes all accepted purchase orders from dealers to be shipped within the next six months. Orders in backlog can be cancelled or postponed at the option of the purchaser and, therefore, backlog may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales.

Our unit dealer inventory was as follows:



	May 31, 2014	June 1, 2013	Increase	% Change
Motorhomes	3,798	2,634	1,164	44.2	%
Towables	1,775	1,642	133	8.1	%

We believe that the increased level of our motorized dealer inventory at the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 is aligned with current market conditions given the improved retail demand and the strong sales order backlog of our product. We have introduced a number of new products in the past nine months (Class B: Travato; Class C: Trend, Viva; Class A diesel: Forza, Solei), many of these products were delivered to the dealers during Fiscal 2014 for their initial stocking. We believe that these innovative products will generate additional retail demand in the coming quarters. We have also expanded our points of distribution for these new product offerings in the past year as our dealer locations have increased 9.5%, which is another factor contributing to our dealer inventory growth.

The recreation vehicle industry has, from time to time, experienced shortages of chassis due to various causes such as component shortages and/or production delays due to quality issues at the chassis manufacturers. In the first half of Fiscal 2014 we have experienced shortages of certain motorized RV chassis which has negatively affected our sales and earnings. Conditions improved during the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 with Ford’s improved Class A chassis supply and resolution of their Class A chassis quality issues which had caused a supply constraint. We continue to closely monitor our chassis suppliers and work with them to minimize impact to our production.

Motorhome net revenues increased $26.4 million or 13.6% in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 . The increase was attributed primarily to a 17.8% increase in unit deliveries driven by higher dealer and retail consumer demand, partially offset by a decrease in motorhome ASP of 4.1% as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease in ASP was primarily due to a shift in class A diesel product to lower price points and a higher percent of Class B unit sales in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 .

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 we delivered 520 rental units to Apollo, a US RV rental company. According to repurchase conditions in the sales agreement, only 177 were reported as motorhome sales in the quarter. See Note 5 to the financial statements.

The increase in Towables revenues of $1.8 million or 11.9% was attributed to an increase in ASP of 11.5% and a 2.0% increase in unit deliveries as compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 2013 .

Cost of goods sold was $221.3 million , or 89.3% of net revenues for the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 compared to $197.0 million , or 90.3% of net revenues for the same period a year ago due to the following:


•	Total variable costs (materials, direct labor, variable overhead, delivery expense and warranty), as a percent of net revenues, decreased to 84.0% compared to 84.6% . The decrease is due to favorable product mix and year-over-year price changes in Fiscal 2014 .


•	Fixed overhead (manufacturing support labor, depreciation and facility costs) and research and development-related costs decreased to 5.3% of net revenues compared to 5.7% for Fiscal 2013 . This difference was primarily due to significantly higher production levels in Fiscal 2014 which resulted in higher absorption of fixed overhead costs.


•	All factors considered, gross profit increased to 10.7% from 9.7% of net revenues.

Selling expenses were 2.0% and 2.2% of net revenues in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 , respectively, as expenses were essentially flat as compared to the prior year.

General and administrative expenses were 2.4% and 2.8% of net revenues in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 , respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased $87,000 , or 1.4% in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2013 .

Non-operating income was $735,000 and $144,000 in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 , respectively. The increase was primarily due to proceeds from our COLI policies in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 .

The overall effective income tax rate for the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 was 30.3% compared to the effective tax rate of 26.3% for the same period in Fiscal 2013 . The increase in tax rate for the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 is primarily a result of the increased level of pretax book income earned during the quarter and a reduced level (in comparison to book income) of benefits recorded for tax credits and tax free and dividend income during the quarter. The legislation for various applicable tax credits expired on December 31, 2013; therefore our projected benefits for these credits are limited to four months of our fiscal year.

Net income and diluted income per share were $11.4 million and $0.42 per share, respectively, for the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 . In the third quarter of Fiscal 2013 , net income was $7.7 million and diluted income was $0.27 per share. The impact of stock repurchases in the last twelve months on diluted net income per share was an increase of $0.01 for the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 . See Part II, Item 2.

The increase in motorhome net revenues of $106.2 million or 20.2% was attributed primarily to a 29.6% increase in unit deliveries in the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 driven by higher dealer and retail consumer demand as compared to the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 , partially offset by a decrease in motorhome ASP of 7.6% as compared to the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 . The decrease in ASP was primarily due to a lower percentage of class A gas and diesel unit sales in the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 .

Towables revenues were $41.4 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 , compared to $39.3 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 . The increase in revenues was a result of the an 8.1% increase in ASP offset by a 1.8% decrease in unit deliveries.

One contributing factor to the increase in unit deliveries during Fiscal 2014 relates to revised shipping terms with our dealers. Effective in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, we entered into revised dealer agreements to change our shipping terms so that title and risk of loss passes to our dealers upon acceptance of the unit by an independent transportation company for delivery which is standard industry practice. As a result of this term change, an additional $25.3 million of revenue was recognized in the first nine months of Fiscal 2014, which represented units in possession of the transportation company in-transit to the dealer. In Fiscal 2013, such revenues would have been recognized in the fourth fiscal quarter. Conversely, due to our 52/53 week fiscal year convention, the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 had an extra week in the first quarter as compared to the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 resulting in an additional $13.8 million of revenue recognized in the prior year first quarter. The net effect of these two timing items resulted in a positive impact of $11.5 million when comparing the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 to the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 .

Cost of goods sold was $623.9 million , or 89.2% of net revenues for the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 compared to $529.8 million , or 90.0% of net revenues for the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 due to the following:


•	Total variable costs (materials, direct labor, variable overhead, delivery expense and warranty), as a percent of net revenues, decreased to 83.9% in Fiscal 2014 compared to 84.2% in Fiscal 2013 .


•	Fixed overhead (manufacturing support labor, depreciation and facility costs) and research and development-related costs decreased to 5.3% of net revenues compared to 5.8% for Fiscal 2013 . This difference was primarily due to significantly higher production levels in Fiscal 2014 which resulted in higher absorption of fixed overhead costs.


•	All factors considered, gross profit increased to 10.8% from 10.0% of net revenues.

Selling expenses decreased to 2.0% from 2.3% of net revenues in the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 , respectively. Overall, selling expenses were essentially flat when comparing the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 to the same period in Fiscal 2013 . Increases in advertising expenses of $150,000 were offset by decreases in various other selling expenses.

General and administrative expenses were 2.4% and 2.8% of net revenues in the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 , respectively. General and administrative expenses increased $185,000 , or 1.1% in the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2013 . Increases in IT expenses were partially offset by decreases in product liability and wage-related expenses.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2014 we realized a gain of $629,000 on the sale of a leased warehouse facility (3M). See Note 6 to the financial statements. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2013 we realized a loss of $28,000 on the sale of an idled manufacturing facility (Hampton).

Non-operating income was flat in the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2013 . We received COLI proceeds in both periods.

The overall effective income tax rate for the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 was 30.7% compared to the effective income tax rate of 28.4% for the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 . The tax rate for the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 is primarily a result of the higher level of pretax book income earned during Fiscal 2014 . We also had a reduced level (in comparison to book income) of

benefits recorded for tax credits and other tax planning initiatives in Fiscal 2014 in relation to the same period in Fiscal 2013. The legislation for various applicable tax credits expired on December 31, 2013; therefore our projected benefits for these credits are limited to four months of our fiscal year.

Net income and diluted income per share were $32.1 million and $1.16 per share, respectively, for the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 . In the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 , the net income was $21.3 million and diluted income was $0.76 per share. The impact of stock repurchases in the last twelve months on diluted net income per share was an increase of $0.02 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 . See Part II, Item 2.

Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity and Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $ 13.8 million during the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 and totaled $50.5 million as of May 31, 2014 . Significant liquidity events that occurred during the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 were:


•	Generation of net income of $32.1 million


•	Increase in receivables and prepaid assets of $26.3 million


•	Stock repurchases of $24.3 million

As noted in Note 7 , through our Amended Credit Agreement with GECC, we have the ability to borrow $35.0 million through a revolving credit facility based on our eligible inventory and certain receivables. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement also includes a framework to expand the size of the facility up to $50.0 million, based on mutually agreeable terms at the time of the expansion.

We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 9, 2013. Subject to market conditions, we have the ability to offer and sell up to $35.0 million of our common stock in one or more offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement will be available for use for three years from its effective date. We currently have no plans to offer and sell the common stock registered under the Registration Statement; however, it does provide another potential source of liquidity in addition to the alternatives already in place.

Working capital at May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 was $162.5 million and $153.5 million , respectively, an increase of $9.0 million . We currently expect cash on hand, cash collected on receivables, funds generated from operations and the availability under a credit facility to be sufficient to cover both short-term and long-term operating requirements for Fiscal 2014 . We anticipate capital expenditures during the balance of Fiscal 2014 of approximately $4.0 million, primarily for manufacturing equipment and facilities and IT upgrades.

We made share repurchases of $24.3 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 . Under SEC Rule 10b5-1, we made additional share repurchases of $1.9 million between May 31, 2014 and the date of this filing. If we believe the common stock is trading at attractive levels and reflects a prudent use of our capital, we may purchase additional shares in the remainder of Fiscal 2014 . See Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $10.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 compared to cash used in operating activities of $6.9 million for the nine months ended June 1, 2013 . In Fiscal 2014 the combination of net income of $32.1 million and changes in non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, LIFO, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes) provided $35.3 million of operating cash. Changes in assets and liabilities (primarily an increase in receivables and operating leases and partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses) used $25.1 million of operating cash. In the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 , the combination of net income of $21.3 million and changes in non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, LIFO, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes) provided $23.9 million of operating cash. Changes in assets and liabilities (primarily an increase in inventories) used $30.8 million of operating cash.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $1.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 was due primarily to capital spending of $7.0 million partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property of $2.4 million , proceeds from the sale of investments of $2.4 million , and proceeds of $1.7 million from COLI policies. In the nine months ended June 1, 2013 , cash used in investing activities of $2.1 million was due primarily to capital spending of $3.3 million and payments of COLI borrowings of $1.4 million , and was partially offset by proceeds of $1.0 million from COLI policies and proceeds of $637,000 from the sale of property.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities of $22.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 was primarily due to $24.3 million in repurchases of our stock partially offset by proceeds of $2.1 million from the exercise of stock options. Cash used in financing activities of $11.2 million for the nine months ended June 1, 2013 was primarily due to $11.1 million in repurchases of our stock.

Significant Accounting Policies

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 . We discuss our critical accounting estimates in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations , in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 . We refer to these disclosures for a detailed explanation of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates. There has been no significant change in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of Fiscal 2013 , except as noted below.

Revenue Recognition

Beginning in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 we began to sell recreation vehicles to a rental company that are subject to repurchase options, which are accounted for as operating leases. At the time of sale, the proceeds are recorded as deferred revenue in other current liabilities. The difference between the proceeds and the repurchase amount is recognized in net revenues over the term which the rental company holds the vehicle, using a straight-line method. The cost of the vehicles is recorded in net investment in operating leases and the difference between the cost of the vehicle and the estimated resale value is depreciated in net revenue over the term of the lease. Net proceeds or losses from the sale of the vehicle at resale, if any, are recognized in net revenue at the time of sale.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures", as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's disclosure control objectives.

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings which are ordinary litigation incidental to our business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We believe, while the final resolution of any such litigation may have an impact on our results for a particular reporting period, the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have any material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 except as noted below.

Lower-than-anticipated residual values for rental motorhomes sold with repurchase option

We project expected residual values and return volumes for the motorhomes we sold with a repurchase option. Actual proceeds realized upon the sale of repurchased rental motorhomes may be lower than the amount projected, which would reduce the profitability of the transaction. Among the factors that can affect the value of repurchased rental motorhomes are the volume of motorhomes returned, economic conditions, and quality or perceived quality, or reliability of the units. Each of these factors, alone

or in combination, has the potential to adversely affect our profitability if actual results were to differ significantly from our projections.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On December 19, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock, depending on market conditions, for an aggregate consideration of up to $60 million. There is no time restriction on this authorization. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 , approximately 118,000 shares were repurchased under the authorization, at an aggregate cost of $2.8 million. Of these shares, approximately 10,400 were repurchased from employees who vested in Winnebago Industries shares during the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and elected to pay their payroll tax via shares as opposed to cash. As of May 31, 2014 , there was approximately $15.6 million remaining under this authorization.

This table provides information with respect to purchases by us of shares of our common stock during each fiscal month of the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 :



Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share			Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
03/02/14 - 04/05/14	10,407		$	26.80	10,407		$	18,159,000
