Winnebago Industries Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WGO), a prominent manufacturer in the outdoor lifestyle sector, has released its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The company faced a challenging economic environment but managed to align closely with its preliminary results forecast, focusing on affordability and market share growth in key segments.

Winnebago Industries Reports Net Revenues of $775.1M for Q3

Winnebago Industries reported net revenues of $775.1 million for the third quarter, just shy of the expected $775.32 million. The company’s adjusted earnings per diluted share stood at $0.81, surpassing the anticipated $0.79.

This performance is indicative of the company’s ability to navigate a challenging economic landscape, albeit with a slight dip in net revenues compared to the previous year’s third quarter, which saw revenues of $786.0 million. The decrease of 1.4% was attributed to a reduction in average selling price per unit due to product mix changes, partially offset by targeted price increases.

Despite the revenue dip, Winnebago’s adjusted earnings per share exceeded expectations, highlighting effective cost management and operational efficiencies. The gross profit for the quarter was $106.0 million, representing a 13.7% gross margin, down from the previous year’s 15.0%.

This decline was primarily due to higher warranty expenses and changes in product mix. Selling, general, and administrative expenses rose slightly to $70.3 million, a 1.9% increase, as the company invested in the growth of its new Grand Design motorhome business.

Segment-wise, the Towable RV segment experienced a 3.8% decrease in net revenues to $371.7 million, influenced by a shift towards lower price-point models despite higher unit volume. The Motorhome RV segment also saw a reduction in revenues by 2.6% to $291.2 million, reflecting lower unit volumes in the current market conditions. However, the Marine segment showed a robust performance with a 14.6% increase in net revenues, reaching $100.7 million, driven by unit volume growth and targeted price increases.
