Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Notes to Condensed 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 subsidiaries, 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 primary 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.”
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of
February 24, 2018
and the consolidated results of income and comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated statement of equity for the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
and
2017
. The consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the first
three months
and
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 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 26, 2017
.
Fiscal Period
We follow a 52-/53-week fiscal year, ending the last Saturday in August. Both
Fiscal 2018
and
Fiscal 2017
are 52-week years.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)
, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for the related income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (our Fiscal 2018), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We adopted this ASU in the interim quarterly reporting period ended November 25, 2017. Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the statement of income and comprehensive income resulted in
$0.6 million
of excess tax benefits recorded as a reduction of income tax expense upon adoption for the three months ended November 25, 2017. The reduction in income tax expense also reduced the effective tax rate by
2.2%
and added
$0.02
to income per share for the quarter ended November 25, 2017. Amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits and employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement required no change to the statement of cash flows. There were no material impacts on the consolidated financial statements of the Company which adopted a policy of accounting for forfeitures when they occur.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,
Inventory (Topic 330)
,
which requires inventory measured using any method other than LIFO or the retail inventory method to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. Under this ASU, subsequent measurement of inventory using the LIFO and retail inventory method is unchanged. ASU 2015-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (our Fiscal 2018), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We adopted this ASU on August 27, 2017, and there was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
, which establishes a comprehensive new model for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. This model is based on the core principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities have the option of using either retrospective transition or a modified approach in applying the new standard. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (our Fiscal 2019).
We have performed an evaluation that included a review of representative contracts with key customers and the performance obligations contained therein, as well as a review of our commercial terms and practices across each of our segments. Based on our preliminary review, we do not expect adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements but further work to substantiate this preliminary conclusion is underway. We will determine the transition method to apply and the implications of using either the full retrospective or modified retrospective approach after this additional work is concluded.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
, which requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The new
6
standard is effective retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our Fiscal 2020), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230)
, which provides guidance for eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (our Fiscal 2019), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and do not expect adoption to have a material impact.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)
, which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (our Fiscal 2020), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,
Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),
which allows for a reclassification of stranded tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Job Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our Fiscal 2020). We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and do not expect adoption to have a material impact.
Reporting Segments
We have
two
reporting segments: (1) Motorized products and services and (2) Towable products and services. We aggregate two operating segments into the Towable reporting segment based upon their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics. We adopted a new corporate allocation policy in the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 that identifies shared costs and allocates them to the operating segments. The cost drivers selected as the basis for allocation are the most appropriate drivers for the type of cost being allocated. All corporate expenses are allocated to the operating segments. Previous to the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, costs were not allocated and were borne by the segment in which the costs originated. See
Note 3
:
Business Segments
.
Subsequent Event
On
March 14, 2018
our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$0.10
per share as further described in
Note 11
.
Note 2

Business Combination, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We acquired
100%
of the ownership interests of Grand Design on
November 8, 2016
in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of
$520.5 million
, which was paid in cash and Winnebago shares as follows:

The cash portion was funded from cash on hand and borrowings under our ABL and Term Loan agreements. The stock was valued using our closing share price on the date of closing.
The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with ASC 805,
Business Combinations
, using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets of Grand Design acquired, based on their fair values at the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018. The final allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is shown in the following table.

The acquisition of
100%
of the ownership interests of Grand Design occurred in two steps: (1) direct purchase of
89.34%
of Grand Design member interests and (2) simultaneous acquisition of the remaining
10.66%
of Grand Design member interests via the purchase of
100%
of the shares of Blocker Corporation, which held the remaining
10.66%
of the Grand Design member interests. We agreed to acquire Blocker Corporation as part of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and we did not receive a step-up in basis for
10.66%
of the Grand Design assets. As a result, we established certain deferred tax liabilities on the opening balance sheet that relate to Blocker Corporation.
The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the value of the workforce, reputation of founders, customer and dealer growth opportunities and expected synergies. Key areas of cost synergies include increased purchasing power for raw materials and supply chain consolidation. Goodwill is expected to be mostly deductible for tax purposes. As of
February 24, 2018
, goodwill increased
$2.0 million
as compared to the end of Fiscal 2017. The increase is due to the final purchase price adjustment made for taxes.
The allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in the recognition of intangible assets with fair value on the closing date of
November 8, 2016
and amortization accumulated from the closing date through
February 24, 2018

We used the income approach to value certain intangible assets. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. We used the income approach known as the relief from royalty method to value the trade name. The relief from royalty method is based on the hypothetical royalty stream that would be received if we were to license the trade name and is based on expected revenues from such license. The fair value of the dealer network was estimated using an income approach known as the cost to recreate/cost savings method. This method uses the replacement of the asset as an indicator of the fair value of the asset. The useful life of the intangible assets was determined considering the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets adjusted as appropriate for the entity-specific factors, including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that may
8
limit the useful life of the intangible assets.
For the
six months
ended
February 24, 2018
and
February 25, 2017
, amortization of intangible assets charged to operations
was
$4.0 million
and
$12.4 million
, respectively. The weig
hted average remaining amortization period for intangible assets as of
February 24, 2018
was approximatel

Note 3
:
Business Segments
We report segment information based on the "management" approach defined in ASC 280,
Segment Reporting
. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments.
We have
two
reportable segments: (1) Motorized products and services and (2) Towable products and services. The Motorized segment includes all products that include a motorized chassis as well as other related manufactured products. The Towable segment includes all products that are not motorized and are generally towed by another vehicle.
We organize our business reporting on a product basis. Each reportable segment is managed separately to better align to our customers, distribution partners and the unique market dynamics of the product groups. We aggregate two operating segments into the Towable reporting segment based upon their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics. The accounting policies of both reportable segments are the same and described in
Note 1
: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
August 26, 2017
.
Subsequent to the acquisition of Grand Design in Fiscal 2017, management re-evaluated the manner in which corporate expenses were allocated to the reportable segments. A new corporate allocation policy was adopted in the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 that identifies shared costs and allocates them to the operating segments based on a cost driver most appropriate for the type of cost being allocated. For example, certain costs were allocated based on the financial size of the operating segment, while other costs, where appropriate, were allocated based on the headcount in the operating segments since headcount was deemed the appropriate driver for those types of expenses. Prior year segment information has been restated to conform to the current reporting segment presentation. All corporate expenses were allocated to the operating segments. Assets presented by reportable segment exclude certain corporate assets that cannot reasonably be allocated to the reportable segments. These unallocated corporate assets include cash and deferred tax assets.
We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on Adjusted EBITDA after corporate allocations. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other adjustments made in order to present comparable results from period to period. Examples of items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include the postretirement health care benefit income resulting from the plan amendments over the past several years and the transaction costs related to our acquisition of Grand Design.

:
Concentration Risk
During the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
, no dealer organization accounted for
10%
or more of our consolidated revenues. One of our dealer organizations, La Mesa RV Center, Inc., accounted for
13.7%
of our consolidated net revenues for the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2017
. A second dealer organization, FreedomRoads, LLC, accounted for
11.8%
of our consolidated net revenues for the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2017
. These dealers declined on a relative basis due to the growth of other dealers and a shift in dealer mix attributable to the addition of Grand Design revenue.

Derivatives, 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.
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at
February 24, 2018
and
August 26, 2017
according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair values:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
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. The majority of securities 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 and the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (see
Note 10
). The proportion of the assets that will fund options that expire within a year are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The remaining assets are classified as non-current and are included in other assets.
Interest Rate Swap Contract
Under terms of our Credit Agreement (see
Note 9
), we were previously required to hedge a portion of the floating interest rate exposure. In accordance with that requirement, on January 23, 2017, we entered into an interest swap contract, which effectively fixed our interest rate for our Term Loan for a notional amount that reduces each December during the swap contract. As of
February 24, 2018
, we had
$170.0 million
of our Term Loan fixed at an interest rate of
5.32%
. As of August 26, 2017, we had
$200.0 million
of our Term Loan fixed at an interest rate of
6.32%
.
The fair value of the interest rate swap based on a Level 2 valuation was an asset of
$1.9 million
as of
February 24, 2018
. The fair value is classified as Level 2 as it is corroborated based on observable market data. This amount is classified as non-current and included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The change in value in the second quarter was predominately recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets since the interest rate swap has been designated for hedge accounting.
Assets and Liabilities that are measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Our non-financial assets, which include goodwill, intangible assets, 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
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
, no impairments were recorded for non-financial assets.
The carrying value of our debt as of
February 24, 2018
approximates fair value as interest is at variable market rates.

Warranty
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 to help protect the reputation of our products and the goodwill of our customers. Warranty expense is affected by dealership labor rates, the cost of parts and the frequency of claims. 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.

On
November 8, 2016
, we entered into a
$125.0 million
ABL and a
$300.0 million
Term Loan with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Credit Agreement"). On December 8, 2017, we amended our Credit Agreement, which decreased the interest rate spread by
1.0%
on the Term Loan and
0.25%
on the ABL. Prior to this amendment,
$19.7 million
was drawn on the ABL and used to make a voluntary prepayment on our Term Loan.
Under the ABL, we have a
five
year credit facility on a revolving basis, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The ABL is available for issuance of letters of credit to a specified limit of
$10.0 million
. We pay a commitment fee in the range of
0.25% - 0.375%
on the amount of facility available, but unused. We can elect to
13
base the interest rate on various base rates plus specific spreads depending on the amount of borrowings outstanding. We currently pay interest on ABL borrowings at a floating rate based upon LIBOR plus
1.25%
.
Under the Term Loan, we can elect to base the interest rate on various base rates plus specific spreads. The interest rate as of
February 24, 2018
was based on LIBOR plus
3.5%
. The Term Loan agreement currently requires quarterly payments in the amount of
$3.75 million
with all amounts then outstanding due on November 8, 2023. We have made voluntary prepayments that have extended the opportunity to defer quarterly payments, at our option, until December 31, 2019. There are mandatory prepayments for proceeds of new debt, sale of significant assets or subsidiaries, and excess cash flow as those terms are defined in the Term Loan. Incremental term loans of up to
$125.0 million
are available if certain financial ratios and other conditions are met.
The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants. As of
February 24, 2018
, we are in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.
The ABL and Term Loan are guaranteed by Winnebago Industries, Inc. and all material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets, except minor excluded assets.
As of
February 24, 2018
,
$8.6 million
of debt issuance costs, net of amortization, were recorded as a direct deduction from long-term debt. Unamortized debt issuance costs of
$0.6 million
related to the voluntary prepayment on the Term Loan was expensed in the
six months
ended
February 24, 2018
.

Postretirement Health Care Benefits
Historically, we provided certain health care and other benefits for retired employees hired before April 1, 2001, who had fulfilled eligibility requirements at age
55
with
15
years of continuous service. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, we announced the termination of the remaining postretirement health care benefits to all participants. As of January 1, 2017, postretirement health care benefits were discontinued.

:
Shareholders' Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
We have a 2014 Omnibus Equity, Performance Award, and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the "Plan") in place as approved by shareholders, which 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.
On October 18, 2017 and October 11, 2016, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors granted an aggregate of
62,660
and
97,600
shares, respectively, of restricted common stock to our key employees and non-employee directors under the Plan. The value of each 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
$2.7 million
and
$0.7 million
during the
second
quarters of
Fiscal 2018
and
2017
, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was
$3.6 million
and
$1.5 million
during the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
and
2017
, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the award.
Dividends
On October 18, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.10
per share of common stock, which was paid on November 29, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 15, 2017.
On
December 13, 2017
, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.10
per share of common stock, which was paid on
January 24, 2018
to shareholders of record at the close of business on
January 10, 2018
.
On
March 14, 2018
, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.10
per share of common stock, payable on
April 25, 2018
to shareholders of record at the close of business on
April 11, 2018
.
Share Registration
As a result of the acquisition of Grand Design, we agreed to register the
4,586,555
shares of common stock issued to the Summit Sellers and the RDB Sellers pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement. Under the registration rights agreement, we filed a shelf registration statement on January 20, 2017 to register these shares for resale. On April 11, 2017, pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated as of April 5, 2017, by and among the Company, the Summit Sellers and Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, the Summit Sellers sold
2,293,277
shares of common stock in an underwritten block trade.
Note 12
:
Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Repurchase Commitments
Generally, manufacturers in the RV industry enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions that 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 RVs 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 to the lending institution, or dealer invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. 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 RVs to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. Our total contingent liability on all repurchase agreements was approximately
$923.2 million
and
$713.1 million
at
February 24, 2018
and
August 26, 2017
, respectively, with the increase attributed primarily due to growth in the Towable segment.
15
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 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 and our historical loss experience, we established an associated loss reserve. Our accrued losses on repurchases were
$0.9 million
as of
February 24, 2018
and
$0.7 million
as of
August 26, 2017
and are included in Accrued expenses - Other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Repurchase risk is affected by the credit worthiness of our dealer network and 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 the three and six months ended
February 24, 2018
and
February 25, 2017
.
Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings that are ordinary and routine litigation incidental to our business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. While we believe the ultimate disposition of litigation will not have material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, there exists the possibility 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 management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
Note 13
:
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.
Our effective tax rate decreased from
33.4%
for the six months ended February 25, 2017 to
29.5%
for the six months ended February 24, 2018 due primarily to the enactment of the Tax Act on December 22, 2017. One of the most significant provisions of this legislation was a reduction in the Federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective beginning January 1, 2018.
In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 to provide guidance for companies that allows for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effect of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company's accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, the company must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements.
We are still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of our deferred tax balances and cause us to revise our estimate in future periods in accordance with SAB 118. These impacts may be material, due to, among other things, further refinement of our calculations, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, or issuance of additional guidance by the relevant tax authorities.
ASC 740 requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Consequently, as of the date of enactment, and during the three months ended February 24, 2018, we revalued all deferred tax assets and liabilities at the newly enacted Federal corporate US income tax rate. This revaluation as of enactment resulted in a non-cash provisional estimate of
$1.4 million
to income tax expense and a corresponding reduction in the net deferred tax asset
.
We file a US Federal tax return, as well as returns in various international and state jurisdictions. Although certain years are no longer subject to examination 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. As of
February 24, 2018
, our Federal returns from Fiscal 2014 to present continue to be subject to review by the IRS. With few exceptions, the state returns from Fiscal 2013 to present continue to be subject to review by the state taxing jurisdictions.
As of
February 24, 2018
, our unrecognized tax benefits were
$1.7 million
including accrued interest and penalties of
$0.5 million
. If we were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded,
$1.5 million
of the
$1.7 million
would benefit 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 believe that there will be a significant change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Overview
Winnebago Industries, Inc. is a leading US manufacturer of RVs with a proud history of manufacturing RV products for 60 years. We currently produce a large majority of our motorhomes in vertically integrated manufacturing facilities in Iowa and we produce all of our travel trailer and fifth wheel trailers in Indiana. We are in the process of expanding some motorhome manufacturing to Junction City, Oregon. We distribute our products primarily through independent dealers throughout the US and Canada, who then retail the products to the end consumer.
Significant Transaction
On
November 8, 2016
, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of towable RV manufacturer Grand Design for an aggregate purchase price of
$520.5 million
. This acquisition was funded from our cash on hand, $353.0 million from asset-based revolving and term loan credit facilities, as well as stock consideration, as is more fully described in
Note 2
and
Note 9
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We purchased Grand Design to significantly expand our existing towable RV product offerings and dealer base and acquire additional talent in the RV industry.
With the acquisition of Grand Design in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, we expanded the number of reporting segments to
two
: (1) Motorized products and services and (2) Towable products and services. The Motorized segment includes all products that include a motorized chassis as well as other related manufactured products. The Towable segment includes all products that are not motorized and are generally towed by another vehicle.
Industry Trends
Key reported statistics for the North American RV industry are as follows:
|
•
|
Wholesale unit shipments: RV product delivered to the dealers, which is reported monthly by RVIA
|
|
•
|
Retail unit registrations: consumer purchases of RVs from dealers, which is reported by Stat Surveys
|
18
We track RV industry conditions using these key statistics to monitor trends and evaluate and understand our performance relative to the overall industry. The rolling twelve months shipment and retail information for 2017 and 2016, as noted below, illustrates that the RV industry continues to grow at the wholesale and retail level. We believe that retail demand is the key driver to continued growth in the industry.

The most recent towable and motorized RVIA wholesale shipment forecasts for calendar year 2017 and 2018, as noted in the table below, illustrates continued projected growth of the industry. The outlook for future growth in RV sales is based on continued modest gains in job and disposable income prospects as well as low inflation, and takes into account the impact of slowly rising interest rates, a strong US dollar and continued weakness in energy production and prices.

Debt Repricing
Effective December 8, 2017, we amended our Credit Agreement to reprice $260.0 million of Term Loan debt. The revised interest rate is LIBOR plus 3.5%, down from the previous rate of LIBOR plus 4.5%. Prior to this repricing, $19.7 million was drawn on our ABL and the proceeds from the ABL borrowing were used to voluntarily pay down our Term Loan. Various other amendments were made to our ABL providing us with reduced borrowing costs and facility fees under the ABL. The requirement to hedge a portion of the Term Loan floating rate interest exposure was also removed from the ABL providing greater flexibility under the Credit Agreement.
Facility Expansion
During Fiscal 2017, our Board of Directors approved two large facility expansion projects in the fast growing Towable segment. The Grand Design expansion project consisted of two new production facilities. The first was completed in January 2018 and we have seen an increase in units produced during the second quarter of Fiscal 2018. The second building in the Grand Design expansion project is expected to be completed in the third quarter of Fiscal 2018. The facility expansion in the Winnebago-branded Towable division is expected to be completed in early Fiscal 2019.
ERP System
In the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, our Board of Directors approved the strategic initiative of implementing an ERP system to replace our legacy business applications. The new ERP platform will provide better support for our changing business needs and
19
plans for future growth. Our initial cost estimates have grown for additional needs of the business, such as the acquisition of the Junction City, Oregon plant and the opportunity to integrate the ERP system with additional manufacturing systems. The project includes software, external implementation assistance and increased internal staffing directly related to this initiative. We anticipate that approximately 40% of the cost will be expensed in the period incurred and 60% will be capitalized and depreciated over its useful life.
The following table illustrates the cumulative project costs:

Consolidated net revenues increased
$97.8 million
or
26.4%
in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
compared to the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2017
. This increase was primarily due to an increase in volume in our Towable segment.
20
Gross profit
increased
$18.3 million in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
compared to the same period a year ago due to a decrease in manufacturing costs as a percent of revenue due to our Towable segment volume growth and cost savings initiatives. This was partially offset by margin pressure in the Motorized segment due to ongoing expenses related to the ramp up of our West Coast production facility and costs associated with new product start up.
Selling expenses were
$12.2 million
and
$9.6 million
, or
2.6%
and
2.6%
of net revenues, in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
and
Fiscal 2017
, respectively. Selling expenses are largely variable and proportional to revenues.
General and administrative expenses were
$20.2 million
and
$11.4 million
, or
4.3%
and
3.1%
of net revenues in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
and
Fiscal 2017
, respectively.
Fiscal 2017
results of operations in the
second quarter
were impacted by the increased benefit of
$12.0 million
due to the termination of the postretirement health care plan. This benefit was partially offset in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2017
by
$0.5 million
of transaction-related expenses and
$10.4 million
of expense related to amortization of definite-lived intangible assets. The remainder of the increase from 2017 to 2018 is related to investments in the business.
Interest expense decreased
$0.3 million
in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
. This decrease is related to the amendment to our Credit Agreement that occurred during the second quarter of Fiscal 2018. This amendment resulted in a decrease to the interest rate spread by 1.0% on the Term Loan and 0.25% on the ABL. See Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Resources and
Note 9
for further information.
The overall effective income tax rate for the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
was
27.2%
compared to the effective tax rate of
34.1%
for the same period in
Fiscal 2017
. The effective tax rate for the
second quarter
of Fiscal 2018 was favorably impacted by the enactment of the Tax Act. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the Federal rate as a result of the Tax Act, which was partially offset by the associated remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and an increase in state tax rate. The current year rate also benefited from the adoption of ASU 2016-09 related to share-based compensation as discussed in
Note 1
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net income and diluted income per share were
$22.1 million
and
$0.69
per share, respectively, for the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
. In the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2017
, net income was
$15.3 million
and diluted income was
$0.48
per share. The increase in net income and diluted income per share is due primarily to the Towable segment contribution to net income. In addition, FY2017 results of operations in the second quarter was impacted by the increased benefit of $12.0 million due to the termination of the postretirement health care plan.

We have provided non-GAAP performance measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a comparable measure to illustrate items impacting current results which are not expected to impact future performance. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because each measure excludes amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. Examples of items excluded from
21
Adjusted EBITDA include the postretirement health care benefit income from terminating the plan and transaction costs related to our acquisition of Grand Design.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as our performance relative to competitors and peers that publish similar measures; (b) to measure operational profitability on a consistent basis; (c) in presentations to the members of our Board of Directors to enable our Board of Directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in its assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company; and, (d) to evaluate potential acquisitions. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

We include in our backlog all accepted orders from dealers to generally be shipped within the next six months. Orders in backlog can be cancelled or postponed at the option of the dealer at any time without penalty and, therefore, backlog may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales.
Motorized net revenues increased
$3.1 million
or
1.5%
in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
as compared to the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2017
. This was primarily due to an increase in the amount of units sold.
Motorized unit deliveries increased by
4.9%
in the quarter. The unit growth we have generated has been in our Class B and entry-level Class A products, which have a lower ASP. Additionally, we have seen an increase in the backlog volumes by
42.5%
in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
due largely to the introduction of new products. Dealer inventory declined as a result of the strong demand for our new product introductions as demonstrated by the increase in backlog.
Motorized segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased
$6.8 million
or
62.7%
. This reduction was due to costs associated with ongoing expenses related to the ramp-up of our West Coast production facility and costs associated with new product start-up.

Towable net revenues increased
$94.8 million
or
55.2%
in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
as compared to the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2017
. This increase was driven by strong organic growth.
Towable unit deliveries grew by
56.7%
in the quarter primarily due to volume growth in excess of recent industry trends. Our Towable market share increased from 1.7% to
6.2%
when comparing shipments during the twelve-month trailing periods ended January 2017 and January 2018. The decrease in Towable ASP is due to a mix change for the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
compared to the same period in
Fiscal 2017
. Backlog volumes increased by
10.0%
in the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
.
Towable segment Adjusted EBITDA increased
$17.1 million
due primarily to the organic volume growth. Shipments grew faster than the industry as a result of greater penetration of our new products and further expansion of our distribution base. In addition to the growth in the Towable segment, profitability has increased due to the leverage of higher volume on the fixed cost components of our business as well as effective cost-savings initiatives.

Consolidated net revenues increased
$302.6 million
or
49.1%
in the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
over the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2017
. This was primarily due to the acquisition of Grand Design and strong volume growth in our Towable segment.
Gross profit increased $52.3 million for the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
compared to the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2017
due to the Towable segment, which operates at a higher gross profit, growing faster than the Motorized segment, and also due to effectiveness of cost savings initiatives.
Selling expenses were
$24.3 million
and
$15.4 million
, or
2.7%
and
2.5%
of net revenues, in the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
and
Fiscal 2017
,
respectively. The increase was primarily due to a mix change driven by volume growth in our Towable segment.
General and administrative expenses were
$39.7 million
and
$16.0 million
, or
4.3%
and
2.6%
of net revenues, in the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
and
Fiscal 2017
, respectively. This increase was due primarily to additional general and administrative expenses related to the fiscal year 2017 acquisition of Grand Design. Additionally,
Fiscal 2017
results of operations were impacted by the increased benefit of
$24.8 million
associated with the termination of the postretirement health care plan. This benefit was partially offset in
Fiscal 2017
by
$5.9 million
of Grand Design transaction-related expenses and
$12.4 million
of expense related to amortization of definite-lived intangible assets, also related to the acquisition of Grand Design.
Interest expense increased
$3.4 million
in the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
compared to the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2017
. This increase is related to the ABL and Term Loan agreements associated with the acquisition of Grand Design. See Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Resources and
Note 9
for further information.
The overall effective income tax rate for the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
was
29.5%
compared to the effective income tax rate of
33.4%
for the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2017
. The effective rate for the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
was favorably impacted by the enactment of the Tax Act. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the Federal rate as a result of the Tax Act, which was partially offset by the associated remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and an increase in state tax rate.
24
Net income and diluted income per share were
$40.0 million
and
$1.26
per share, respectively, for the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
. In the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2017
, net income and diluted net income per share was
$27.0 million
and
$0.91
, respectively.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation

We have provided non-GAAP performance measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a comparable measure to illustrate items impacting current results that are not expected to impact future performance. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because each measure excludes amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. Examples of items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include the postretirement health care benefit income from terminating the plan and transaction costs related to our acquisition of Grand Design.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as our performance relative to competitors and peers that publish similar measures; (b) to measure operational profitability on a consistent basis; (c) in presentations to the members of our Board of Directors to enable our Board of Directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in its assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company; and, (d) to evaluate potential acquisitions. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

We include in our backlog all accepted orders from dealers to generally be shipped within the next six months. Orders in backlog can be cancelled or postponed at the option of the dealer at any time without penalty and, therefore, backlog may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales.
Motorized net revenues decreased
$1.7 million
or
0.4%
in the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
as compared to the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2017
. This was primarily due to lower ASP on the mix of units sold.
Motorized unit deliveries grew by
3.0%
in the first
six months
, which is lower than recent industry growth. Our overall motorized market share moved from
17.8%
to
16.3%
when comparing shipments during the twelve-month trailing periods ended January 2017 and January 2018 due to a mix change from our Class C products to our Class B and entry-level Class A products.
Motorized segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased
$14.8 million
or
67.2%
. This reduction was due to lower revenues as well as ongoing expenses related to the ramp up of our West Coast production facility and costs associated with new product start-up.

We include in our backlog all accepted orders from dealers to generally be shipped within the next six months. Orders in backlog can be cancelled or postponed at the option of the dealer at any time without penalty and, therefore, backlog may not necessarily be an accurate measure of future sales.
Towable net revenues increased
$304.3 million
in the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
as compared to the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2017
. This was primarily due to the fiscal year 2017 acquisition of Grand Design in November 2016 and organic volume growth.
Towable unit deliveries grew by
131.1%
in the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
primarily due to the acquisition of Grand Design and also due to Towable growth in excess of recent industry trends. With the addition of Grand Design in Fiscal 2017, our Towable market share increased from 1.7% to
6.2%
when comparing shipments during the twelve-month trailing periods ended January 2017 and January 2018.
Towable segment Adjusted EBITDA increased
$45.8 million
due to the favorable impact of organic growth. We achieved strong results in our Towable segment, where shipments grew much faster than the industry as a result of greater penetration of our new products and further expansion of our distribution base, as well as higher gross profit from cost savings initiatives.
Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity and Resources
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $
8.5 million
during the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
and totaled
$27.4 million
as of
February 24, 2018
. Significant liquidity events that occurred during the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
were:
|
•
|
Generated net income of
$40.0 million
|
|
•
|
Total borrowings at
February 24, 2018
were
$279.7 million
, and we have an additional
$105.3 million
available to borrow under the revolving credit agreement, subject to sufficient borrowing base
|
|
•
|
Net repayment of $4.3 million of debt (
$24.0 million
repayments less
$19.7 million
borrowings)
|
|
•
|
Increase in payables of
$32.9 million
partially offset by increases in receivables, prepaid and other assets of
$31.1 million
|
|
•
|
Increase in inventory of
$36.4 million
|
As described in
Note 9
, our Credit Agreement at
February 24, 2018
consisted of a $300.0 million Term Loan and a $125.0 million ABL with JPMorgan Chase.
We filed a registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 25, 2016. 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 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 to raise capital if we need it, in addition to other alternatives already in place.
27
Working capital at
February 24, 2018
and
August 26, 2017
was
$177.1 million
and
$147.0 million
, respectively,
an increase
of
$30.1 million
. We currently expect cash on hand, funds generated from operations and the borrowing available under our Credit Agreement to be sufficient to cover both short-term and long-term operating requirements. We will continue to invest in our current motorhome facilities and our ERP system as well as expand our Towable facilities.
Share repurchases of
$1.5 million
in the first
six months
of
Fiscal 2018
were 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 Credit Agreement, we may purchase shares in the remainder of
Fiscal 2018
. At
February 24, 2018
, we have
$71.0 million
remaining on our board repurchase authorization. See Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
Operating Activities
Cash
provided by
operating activities was
$15.0 million
for the
six months
ended
February 24, 2018
compared to
$5.1 million
for the
six months
ended
February 25, 2017
. The increase in cash flow from operations in
Fiscal 2018
was driven by the strong net income of
$40.0 million
offset by an increase in receivables due to volume growth and an increase in inventory due to planned inventory build.
Investing Activities
Cash
used in
investing activities of
$11.4 million
for the
six months
ended
February 24, 2018
was due primarily to capital expenditures of
$11.7 million
including the capacity expansions taking place in our Towable segment. In the
six months
ended
February 25, 2017
, cash
used in

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 26, 2017
. 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 26, 2017
. 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 2017
, except as disclosed in
Note 1
to the consolidated financial statements.
Interest rate risk
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on the outstanding variable rate debt. As of
February 24, 2018
, we had
$260.0 million
outstanding under our Term Loan, subject to variable interest rates. This risk is partially mitigated through an interest rate swap contract as detailed below.
Under terms of the Credit Agreement, we were previously required to maintain interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure related to the variable component of interest cost on the Term Loan. In accordance with this requirement, we entered into an interest swap contract on January 23, 2017, to effectively convert
$200.0 million
of the Term Loan balance to a fixed rate. The notional amount of the swap reduced to
$170.0 million
on December 8, 2017 and will be reduced to
$120.0 million
on December 10, 2018 and
$60.0 million
on December 9, 2019. The swap contract expires on December 8, 2020. A hypothetical one percentage point increase in interest rates on the Term Loan would increase our interest expense (after consideration of the interest rate swap) for 2018 by approximately $0.9 million. Due to the floor of 1.0% on LIBOR for the Term Loan, a 1.0% decrease could only decrease to the floor for the variable rate, resulting in a decrease in interest expense (after consideration of the interest rate swap) for 2018 of $0.5 million. As discussed in
Note 5
:
Derivatives, Investments and Fair Value Measurements
, the requirement to hedge a portion of the Term Loan floating rate interest exposure was removed through an amendment to the ABL.
For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.
28
Derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
, and have been designated for hedge accounting. The fair value of the interest rate swap is based on observable market data (Level 2) and was
$1.9 million
as of
February 24, 2018
. The interest rate swap requires us to pay interest at a fixed rate of
1.82%
through the December 8, 2020 expiration of the swap. A 1.0% increase in the interest rate would have changed the fair value of the swap as of
February 24, 2018
by approximately $2.9 million and a 1.0% decrease would have changed the fair value by $3.0 million. These increases and decreases would be recorded in OCI and the hedged value on our consolidated balance sheet (currently recorded within other non-current liabilities). While these are our best estimates of the impact of the specified interest rate scenario, actual results could differ from those projected. The sensitivity analysis presented assumes interest rate changes are instantaneous, parallel shifts in the yield curve. In reality, interest rate changes of this magnitude are rarely instantaneous or parallel.
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 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 and believes that such controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated 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
We are implementing an ERP system, which is expected to improve the efficiency of certain financial and related transaction processes. The implementation of an ERP system will likely affect the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting and will require testing for effectiveness. As we have completed implementation of certain phases of the ERP, internal controls over financial reporting have been tested for effectiveness with respect to the scope of the phase completed. We concluded, as part of our evaluation described in the above paragraphs, that the implementation of ERP in these circumstances has not materially affected our internal control over financial reporting. The implementation is continuing in a phased approach and will continue to be evaluated for effect on our internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are involved in various legal proceedings that are ordinary litigation incidental to our business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. While we believe the ultimate disposition of litigation will not have material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, there exists the possibility 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 management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended
August 26, 2017
.
On December 19, 2007, our 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
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
,
2,117
shares were repurchased under the authorization, at an aggregate cost of approximately $0.1 million. All of these shares were repurchased from employees who vested in Company shares during the
second quarter
of
Fiscal 2018
and elected to pay their payroll tax via the value of shares delivered as opposed to cash.
29
On October 18, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program in the amount of $70.0 million. There is no time restriction on this authorization. As of
February 24, 2018
, there was approximately
$71.0 million
remaining under these authorizations.
