MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS
- ----------
Quarter Ended April 30, 1997 vs. Quarter Ended April 30, 1996
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the third quarter totaled $169,329,069 versus $169,174,078 in the
same period last year. Income before income taxes was $7,814,501 compared to
$6,810,194 in the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to
reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, and amortization of
intangibles. In general, the Company did not adjust its sales prices during the
third quarter of fiscal 1997. Recreation vehicle revenues of $136,070,277 were
4.9% lower than last year and were 80.4% of total company revenues compared to
84.6% last year. Bus revenues of $33,258,792 were 27.7% higher than last year
and were 19.6% of total company revenues compared to 15.4% last year.
Manufacturing gross profit was 10.8% of sales compared to 10.5% last year.
Operating income totaled $7,907,798, up 14.5% from $6,907,668 in the same period
last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses and amortization of
intangibles decreased to $10,311,389, 6.1% of sales, from $10,904,905, 6.4% of
sales. Interest income decreased by $19,048 and interest expense decreased by
$85,219. The combined income tax rate was 41.0% compared to 41.2% last year.
Nine Months Ended April 30, 1997 vs. Nine Months Ended April 30, 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the nine months totaled $443,350,957, up .7% from $440,474,240 in
the same period last year. Income before income taxes was $19,886,935 compared
to $17,693,139 in the same period last year. This increase was due primarily to
reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses and amortization of
intangibles. Recreation vehicle revenues of $342,462,345 were 5.8% lower than
last year and were 77.2% of total company revenues compared to 82.6% last year.
Bus revenues of $100,888,612 were 31.4% higher than last year and were 22.8% of
total company revenues compared to 17.4% last year. Manufacturing gross profit
was 10.6% of sales in the current and prior year.
Operating income totaled $19,897,948, up 14.0% from $17,452,955 in the same
period last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses and amortization
of intangibles decreased to $27,018,439, 6.1% of sales, from $29,234,526, 6.6%
of sales. An adjustment to deferred compensation in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 accounted for $669,000 reduction in administrative expense. Interest income
decreased by $80,601 and interest expense increased by $186,623. This increase
in interest expense was due primarily to additional borrowings for the purchase
of 543,319 shares of treasury stock. The combined income tax rate was 40.9%
compared to 41.3% last year.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------
As of April 30, 1997, Thor had $10,187,923 in cash and cash equivalents,
compared to $13,061,981 on July 31, 1996. Working capital at April 30, 1997 was
$74,180,056 compared to $74,981,738 at July 31, 1996. Inventory valued at
current cost at April 30, 1997 exceeded the LIFO inventory by $3,221,202.
On April 30, 1997, the Company had a $30,000,000 revolving line of credit with
Harris Trust and Savings Bank and Bank One. There were no borrowings at April
30, 1997. The loan agreement contains certain covenants, including restrictions
on additional indebtedness, and the Company must maintain certain financial
ratios. The line of credit bears interest at negotiated rates below prime and
expires on November 30, 1997. The Company had no long term debt as of April 30,
1997. Amortization of intangibles decreased from $2,149,123 through April 30,
1996 to $1,592,877 through April 30, 1997 due to certain intangibles being fully
amortized.
During the nine months of fiscal 1997, Thor purchased 543,319 shares of its
common stock, increasing treasury stock by $13,561,052.
The Company believes internally generated funds and the revolving credit
agreement already in place will be sufficient to meet current operating needs
and anticipated capital requirements. The Company does not anticipate
significant capital expenditures for fiscal 1997.

replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share (EPS) with a
presentation of basic EPS. The Statement is effective for financial
statements issued after December 15, 1997. The Corporation has not
adopted SFAS 128 in its April 30, 1997 consolidated financial statements
and has not yet determined what effect its adoption will have on
subsequently filed consolidated financial statements.
