THOR’s Competitive Advantages

Page 9: Fourth Quarter 2013 Investor Presentation

9

¤  Currently a competitive environment, though improved from year ago •  Top three RV competitors account for 78.3% of industry units* •  “Flight to quality” – consumers, dealers, lenders all seek to do

business with strong companies like Thor

¤  Industry better balanced today

¤  Pricing & promotional environment remains competitive, but improved over prior year

¤  Consumer confidence better than last year, but fell to 76.8 in September 2013 from 82.1 in August as the soft labor market and rising mortgage rates weighed on consumers**

¤  Wholesale and Retail lenders are prudent - applying “healthy discipline”

¤  RV buyers seek the “power of choice” – want variety in brands and models

¤  On August 30, 2013 Thor acquired the assets of innovative RV manufacturer Livin’ Lite based in Wakarusa, Indiana for approximately $18 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments

¤  Livin’ Lite’s products are complementary to existing product lines, with light-weight aluminum construction targeting a niche market within the overall RV market

¤  Livin’ Lite also provides an entry into two markets that Thor subsidiaries have not participated in – folding camping trailers and truck campers

¤  Lightweight products are typically sold at a modest premium to traditional products, with

opportunities for growth through licensing agreements with Jeep and others

¤  On September 17-19, 2013, Thor held its annual dealer open house in Elkhart

¤  Traffic was very strong with initial dealer attendance up more than 30% from 2012

¤  Broad variety of new products introduced for the 2014 model year, including the new Vegas and Axis Class A motorhomes – built on a Ford E-series chassis that is available and ideal for a smaller motorhome (under 27 feet) at a lower cost (approx. $70,000)

¤  Thor’s management team recently developed a three-year strategic plan focused on growth and margin improvement

¤  The Strategic Plan was developed using a bottoms-up approach involving each of the Company’s operating subsidiaries and management teams

¤  Key elements of growth include product innovation and capacity expansion – targeting mid- to high-single-digit growth

¤  Key elements of margin expansion include improved product quality, value added

content and features, and volume leverage – targeting 200 basis points of gross margin improvement over the planning horizon

RV Expansion ¤  On June 3, 2013, Thor acquired the RV production facilities in Wakarusa, Indiana

formerly operated by Navistar to expand motorized production to meet current demand and to vertically integrate RV paint operations

¤  Nearly one million square feet of production space and 35 paint booths on 150 acres

¤  Final transition plans to be implemented when the seller exits, which is expected this fall

Three-Year Strategic Plan

¤  Thor will continue to operate the bus business until closing, which is expected to occur on or before November 1, 2013

¤  Consolidated sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 were $914.0 million, up 19% from $769.9

million in the fourth quarter last year, based on strong growth in motorized recreational vehicle (RV) sales and more modest growth in towable RV sales.

¤  Net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $55.2 million, up 35% from $40.9 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $1.04, up 35% from $0.77 in the fourth quarter last year.

¤  Including discontinued operations from the Bus business, net income was $58.2 million, up 31% from $44.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Diluted EPS including discontinued operations was $1.09, up 30% from $0.84 in the fourth quarter last year.

Towable RV income before tax increased to 10.2% of revenues from 8.2% a year ago, as a result of increased volumes and specific actions taken to improve operating efficiencies.

¤  Motorized RV sales were $168.2 million, up 56% from $107.8 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. Income before tax was $13.5 million, up 85% from $7.3 million last year. As a percent of revenues, motorized RV income before tax rose to 8.0% of revenues from 6.8% a year ago, driven by improved product mix, volumes and enhanced operating efficiencies.
