Principal Products

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

Towable RV

A towable RV is a non-motorized vehicle that is designed to be towed by automobiles, pickup trucks, SUVs, or vans and is used primarily as temporary living quarters during vacation and camping trips, or to support active and mobile lifestyles. The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association ("RVIA") classifies towable RVs into six types: conventional travel trailers, fifth wheels, travel trailers with expandable ends, folding camping trailers, truck campers, and park models. We manufacture and sell conventional travel trailers and fifth wheels under the Winnebago and Grand Design brand names, which are defined as follows:

TypeDescriptionWinnebago product offeringsGrand Design product offerings

Travel trailerTowed by means of a hitch attached to the frame of the vehicleAccess, HIKE, Micro Minnie, Minnie, M-Series, Voyage, and ThriveImagine, Momentum, Reflection, Serenova, and Transcend

Fifth wheelConstructed with a raised forward section that is connected to the vehicle with a special fifth wheel hitchN/AInfluence, Momentum, Reflection, and Solitude

Our travel trailer and fifth wheel towable RVs are sold by dealers in the retail market with manufacturer's suggested retail prices ranging from approximately $20,000 to $163,000, which can vary depending on size and model, plus optional equipment and delivery charges.

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

Motorhome RV

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

TypeDescriptionWinnebago product offeringsNewmar product offeringsGrand Design product offerings

Our Class A, Class B, and Class C motorhome RVs are sold by dealers in the retail market with manufacturer's suggested retail prices ranging from approximately $143,000 to $1,717,000, which can vary depending on size and model, plus optional equipment and delivery charges. Our motorhome RVs range in length from approximately 18 to 45 feet.

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

Marine

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

Our boats are sold by dealers in the retail market with manufacturer's suggested retail prices ranging from approximately $47,000 to $783,000, which can vary depending on size and model, plus optional equipment and delivery charges.

Winnebago Specialty Vehicles

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

Lithionics

On April 28, 2023, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Lithionics Battery, LLC and Lithionics LLC (collectively, "Lithionics"), a premier lithium-ion battery solutions provider to the recreational equipment and specialty vehicle markets. Using a proprietary battery management system called NeverDie® Technology, Lithionics offers a broad range of standard and custom-designed battery configurations delivering “house power” and supporting internal electrical features and appliances for a variety of outdoor products, including RVs, boats, specialty and other low-speed vehicles, as well as other industrial applications. These batteries are manufactured in Clearwater, Florida. Refer to Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for further detail regarding the acquisition.

Production

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

Our towable RVs are produced at two assembly campuses located in Indiana. The majority of components are comprised of frames, appliances, and furniture, and are purchased from multiple suppliers.

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

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

Distribution and Financing

We distribute our RV and marine products primarily through independent dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada, who then retail the products to the end consumer. We also distribute our marine products internationally through independent dealers, who then retail the products to the end consumer. Foreign sales accounted for less than 10% of net revenues during each of the past three fiscal years.

As of August 30, 2025, our RV and marine dealer network in the U.S. and Canada included over 760 physical dealer locations, many of which carry more than one of our brands. None of our dealer organizations accounted for more than 10% of our net revenues during each of the past three fiscal years.

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

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

Sales to dealers are made primarily on cash terms. Most dealers are financed on a "floorplan" basis under which a bank or finance company lends the dealer all, or substantially all, of the purchase price, collateralized by a security interest in the merchandise purchased. As is customary in the industries we serve, we typically enter into a repurchase agreement with a lending institution financing a dealer's purchase of our product upon the lending institution's request and after completion of a credit check of the dealer involved. Our repurchase agreements provide that, for up to 18 months after an RV unit is financed and up to 24 months after a marine unit is financed, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution and repossession of the unit(s) by the lending institution, we will repurchase the financed merchandise from the lender at the amount then due, which is often less than dealer invoice. Our maximum exposure for repurchases can vary significantly, depending upon the level of dealer inventory, general economic conditions, demand for our products, dealer location, and access to and the cost of financing. See Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of Part II in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for more information.

Competition

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

Seasonality

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

Governmental Regulations

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

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

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

Trademarks

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

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

Human Capital Management

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

Investment in Talent Development & Employee Experience

We believe our future success depends on our people. Attracting, engaging, retaining and developing talent is a key priority. We strive to grow and develop all of our teams and bolster our talent pipeline. Our leadership expectations provide a shared understanding of the skills our teams develop through continuous learning opportunities and training. Our Code of Conduct and our human rights policy include shared values and guide relationships with our people and our stakeholders. We continue to support external partnerships and internships that introduce high school and college students to potential career opportunities in the RV and marine industries. These programs focus on developing the next generation of talent in meaningful experiences. We also collaborate with regional education and workforce development partners to connect employees and job seekers with on-the-job training and leadership development.

Team members respond regularly to an engagement survey, administered at least every two years, that evaluates our employees’ thoughts about their experience working at Winnebago Industries. Responses are reviewed by team leaders and used to help build specific action plans to continually improve our employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention. We engage employees through community volunteerism, team-building, and employee resource groups. We strive to continually improve our employee experience, develop and grow our teams, and create a culture of inclusion and belonging.

As of August 30, 2025, we employed approximately 5,300 persons, of which approximately 20% and 80% were salaried and hourly employees, respectively. None of our employees are covered under a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our relations with our employees are good.

Commitment to Inclusion and Belonging

We believe in the value of building a company and community where every person feels welcome, is treated fairly, and has an equal opportunity to succeed while bringing their authentic self to work. We continue to prioritize creating a better sense of belonging in our workplace, our communities, and the outdoors. We advanced our strategy by listening and learning, and expanding our Leadership Speaker Series, where subject matter experts provide inspiration, tools, and resources to create an inclusive culture based on our leadership expectations. We also continued to expand our employee resource groups which are open to all employees across our brands. For example, the Women’s Inclusion Network ("WIN"), which was established in 2022, supports the professional development of women by encouraging access to learning, mentoring, and networking. WIN’s goal is to provide programming and tools, increase women’s sense of belonging, and the percentage of women in leadership roles within our businesses. The Veterans Network Employee Resource Group, which was established in 2023, supports the professional development of our Veteran community by providing a space and place for employees who are Veterans, Active Military and Family & Friends (also known as Allies) to discuss their experiences, address issues through learning, assistance and guidance, and conduct activities to support the growth and development of our Veteran community members in their professional careers. In 2024, we launched the Mosaic Multicultural Network to engage and connect across cultures at Winnebago Industries. Mosaic promotes connection while helping to bolster a workplace where all employees can thrive, supporting career mobility, visibility, recruitment and retention. We remain involved with partners who help advance our goals including Society of Women Engineers, Women in Manufacturing, RV Women’s Alliance, and more.

We believe time together outdoors is priceless, and that our company and our brands should reflect the full spectrum of outdoor enthusiasts. We also believe we thrive and are more successful when we empower, value, and respect our employees and our communities. We are committed to continuing to build a strong, inclusive culture and workplace.

Employee Well-being and Safety

At Winnebago Industries, the health, safety, and well-being of our employees are central to our culture and long-term success. We believe all workplace injuries and illnesses are preventable and strive for a zero-harm culture. Safety is embedded in how we design, operate, and maintain our workplaces. We support employees’ mental, emotional, and physical well-being by offering resources to manage remote work, parental responsibilities, and family needs. We also provide convenient access to healthcare through on-site and virtual clinics. In Fiscal 2025, we celebrated our third annual Safety Month under the theme “Safety: From Design to Delivery” and introduced the CEO Safety Award, recognizing innovative ideas that improved safety, efficiency, and quality. We continue to advance our hierarchy-of-controls approach to reduce risk across our facilities and operations.

In Fiscal 2025, our total recordable incident rate ("TRIR") was 2.75, a 22% improvement compared to 3.51 in Fiscal 2024. In Fiscal 2025, our days away restricted transfer rate ("DART") was 1.00, a 43% improvement compared to 1.75 in Fiscal 2024. We continue to invest in workplace safety initiatives and our commitment to safety never stops.
