MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
Quarter Ended October 31, 1997 vs.
Quarter Ended October 31, 1996
- ---------------------------------
Net sales for the first quarter totaled $165,458,354, up 10% from $150,496,821
in the same period last year. Income before income taxes was $10,092,620
compared to $8,582,793 in the same period last year. This increase was primarily
due to increased sales volume, improved labor efficiency and lower warranty
costs. Recreation vehicle selling prices were adjusted in the first quarter to
coincide with the introduction of new product offerings. Recreation vehicle
revenues of $125,660,481 were 7% higher than last year and were 76% of total
company revenues compared to 78% last year. Bus revenues of $39,797,873 were 21%
higher than last year and were 24% of total company revenues compared to 22%
last year. Manufacturing gross profit increased to 11.8% compared to 11.1% last
year.
Operating income totaled $9,454,713, up 16% from $8,172,926 in the same period
last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
$10,078,966, 6.1% of sales, from $8,516,984, 5.7% of sales, primarily due to an
adjustment of $669,000 to deferred compensation in Fiscal 1997. Interest income
remained relatively constant and interest expense decreased by $166,868. This
decrease in interest expense was due to pay down of the line of credit.
The combined income tax rate was 40.4% in both years.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------
As of October 31, 1997, Thor had $20,378,253 in cash and cash equivalents,
compared to $13,380,357 on July 31, 1997. Working capital at October 31, 1997
was $87,936,488 compared to $81,787,231 at July 31, 1997. Inventory valued at
current cost at October 31, 1997 exceeded the LIFO inventory by $3,369,977
At October 31, 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 October
31, 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 October
31, 1997. Amortization of intangibles decreased from $541,374 for the period
ended October 31, 1996, to $476,098 for the period ended October 31, 1997 due to
certain intangibles being fully amortized.
On September 29, 1997, the Board of Directors approved the Thor Industries, Inc.
Restricted Stock and Select Executive Incentive Plans. Under the terms of the
Restricted Stock Plan a total of up to 100,000 restricted shares of stock may be
granted to selected executives of Thor within a 10 year period. The effect on
shares outstanding for the quarter was not material. The Company is in the
process of filing a form S-8 for both plans.
The Company believes that 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 1998.

3. On September 29, 1997, the Board of Directors approved the Thor
Industries, Inc. Restricted Stock and Select Executive Incentive Plans.
Under the terms of the Restricted Stock Plan, a total of up to 100,000
restricted shares of common stock may be granted to selected executives of
Thor. Restrictions expire 50% after five years following the date of
issue, and the balance after six years. As of October 31, 1997, the
Company issued 1,500 shares of restricted stock under the Plan.
4. Earnings Per Share - The Company calculates earnings per share using
methods prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion APB No. 15,
"Earnings per Share." In February 1997, the Financial Account Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128,
"Earnings Per share," which replaces APB No. 15 and requires adoption for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. The statement will require dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the
income statement. For the period ended October 31, 1997, the basic and
diluted earnings per share calculated pursuant to SFAS No. 128 would not
be materially different from earnings per share as reported.
5. Comprehensive Income - In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which will require disclosure in the
financial statements of all the changes in equity during a period from
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.
Items included in comprehensive income will include separate
classification of items based upon their nature. The Statement requires
that comparative information for prior years to be restated. SFAS No. 130
is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The effect on the Company's financial statements has
not yet been determined.
6. Segments - In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which will require new
segment information in public companies' annual financial statements.
Additionally, selected information will be required in interim financial
statements. The Statement requires that comparative information for prior
years be restated. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The effect on the Company's
financial statements has not yet been determined.
