Risk Assessment Framework

Strategic & Market Risks

Market Dynamics: The RV industry is highly cyclical and seasonal, making the business subject to significant fluctuations in demand, sales, and profitability. Sales are sensitive to macroeconomic conditions such as inflation, interest rates, tariffs, consumer confidence, and disposable income. Geopolitical developments, financial crises, and recessions can have sudden and material adverse impacts. Technology Disruption: The Company faces risks from new technological advances and changing governmental mandates, which could shift consumer preferences towards smaller, electric, hybrid, autonomous, or connected RVs. Investments in these areas are costly and may not be successful, potentially impacting market position. Customer Concentration: Sales to FreedomRoads, LLC accounted for approximately 14.0% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025, creating dependency risk. Dealer consolidations could increase bargaining power and impact sales or gross margins.

Operational & Execution Risks

Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: The Company is highly dependent on timely and sufficient delivery of raw materials and component parts, including chassis from a limited number of suppliers (Ford, Freightliner, The Shyft Group, Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz). Shortages of key components (e.g., semiconductor chips, non-chassis raw materials in Europe) and unpredictable deliveries have historically disrupted production and increased costs. Increased restrictions on chemicals like PFAS could also impact supply. Product Recalls & Warranties: The Company provides warranties and is subject to government-mandated safety recalls. Costs for recalls and customer satisfaction actions have been substantial in the past and could materially affect financial condition and reputation. Workforce & Labor: The Company relies on an experienced and skilled workforce. Competition for talent, increasing labor costs, and the ability to attract and retain employees are ongoing challenges, particularly in northern Indiana where U.S. operations are concentrated. European operations are subject to collective labor agreements, works councils, and unions, which can impact labor costs and flexibility. Information Systems: The business relies on information systems, some managed by third parties, for global operations. Cybersecurity risks, including cyber-attacks, data breaches, and network disruptions, could compromise data confidentiality, operational integrity, and lead to financial harm, regulatory actions, or reputational damage.

Financial & Regulatory Risks

Market & Financial Risks: Fluctuations in raw material and component prices, including the impact of tariffs, can adversely affect operating results if cost increases cannot be passed on to dealers. The Company is contingently liable under repurchase agreements with financial institutions for dealer inventory financing, totaling $3,484,235 as of July 31, 2025. Impairment charges for goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets are a risk, particularly for reporting units where fair value exceeds carrying value by less than 25% (e.g., Airxcel reporting unit). The availability and terms of financing for independent dealers and retail purchasers significantly impact demand. Regulatory & Compliance Risks: Operations are subject to various vehicle safety (NHTSA, RVIA), environmental (air, water, noise pollution), health, and employee safety standards in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Climate-related regulations (emissions, fuel efficiency, zero-emission vehicles, climate reporting) could impose significant costs, limit product offerings, or restrict product use. Data privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA) and trade/export controls also pose compliance risks.

Geopolitical & External Risks

Geopolitical Exposure: Non-U.S. sales (36.1% of consolidated sales in fiscal 2025) expose the Company to foreign currency fluctuations, tariffs, customs duties, international laws, supply/distribution disruptions, and economic/social instability in various countries. Adverse Weather Conditions: Natural disasters and severe weather events can negatively impact operations (e.g., production disruptions, changes in demand), as experienced with the Jackson Center, OH hail event in fiscal 2024. Long-term climate changes could also impact the availability of camping and RV facilities, potentially limiting demand.

Innovation & Technology Leadership

Innovation Pipeline: Initiatives include investments in automation of production processes and the development of new products and services, such as lightweight motorized and towable RVs, and hybrid or electric RVs with sufficient user range capability. Intellectual Property Portfolio:

• Patent Strategy: THOR Industries, Inc. holds and protects certain patents related to its business and is not dependent on patents or technology licenses from others.
• Trademarks: The Company has registered U.S., Canadian, German, and other international trademarks for its principal trade names and model lines.

Leadership & Governance

Executive Leadership Team

Leadership Continuity: The Company relies on the knowledge, experience, and skills of its executive management and key operating company management. Future success depends on the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and the existence of adequate succession plans.

Board Composition: The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing cybersecurity risks. The Data Protection Officer provides semi-annual reports to both the Audit Committee and the full Board of Directors on cybersecurity matters.

Human Capital Strategy

Workforce Composition:

• Total Employees: Approximately 20,900 full-time employees worldwide as of July 31, 2025.
• Geographic Distribution: Approximately 13,200 full-time employees in the United States (2,100 salaried) and approximately 7,700 full-time employees in Europe (3,900 salaried).
• Skill Mix: The Company relies on an available, qualified workforce to manufacture products and recruit/retain talented hourly and salaried employees.

Talent Management: Acquisition & Retention: The Company strives to attract, select, engage, develop, and retain strong, diverse talent through competitive compensation and benefits packages tailored to each operating subsidiary's needs. Employee Value Proposition: A "people-first culture" is fostered, prioritizing open communication, professional growth, well-being, inclusivity, and a safe work environment. Benefits include comprehensive health coverage, paid time off, retirement savings plans, wellness programs, and professional development opportunities.

Diversity & Development:

• Development Programs: The Company focuses on professional growth, upskilling, and leadership development for existing employees, particularly with the introduction of new technologies.
• Culture & Engagement: The Company aims to create a culture of trust, collaboration, and continuous improvement, with a commitment to ethical behavior reinforced by annual training and an anonymous multilingual hotline.

Environmental & Social Impact

Environmental Commitments: Climate Strategy: The Company's operations and certain motorized products are subject to rules limiting emissions and other climate-related regulations in various jurisdictions. Chassis suppliers are required to comply with strict emission standards. The Company acknowledges that its RV products are powered by gasoline and diesel engines or are towed by gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles. Social Impact Initiatives: The Company's products support a lifestyle that allows consumers to connect with loved ones and nature, offering control over travel experiences and opportunities for outdoor activities.

Business Cyclicality & Seasonality

Demand Patterns:

• Seasonal Trends: Recreational vehicle sales are historically seasonal, with demand, sales, and profits typically lower during the fall and winter months (lowest in the second fiscal quarter ending January 31) and highest during the spring and summer months.
• Economic Sensitivity: RV industry sales are cyclical and reflect overall economic and market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, consumer sentiment, and disposable income. Consumers tend to defer spending on high-cost, discretionary products like RVs during times of economic uncertainty.
• Industry Cycles: The RV industry has historically experienced cycles of growth and contraction.

Regulatory Environment & Compliance

Regulatory Framework: Industry-Specific Regulations: The Company is subject to various vehicle safety and compliance standards, including those promulgated by the RV Industry Association ("RVIA") and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") in the U.S., and similar standards in Canada and Europe. Environmental Regulations: Governmental authorities impose environmental control standards relating to air, water, and noise pollution, as well as hazardous waste generation and disposal. Climate-related regulations, including revised emission standards for heavy-duty trucks (EPA) and zero-emission vehicle mandates (e.g., California Air Resources Board), impact motorized chassis suppliers and could affect product offerings and costs. Data Privacy: The Company is subject to privacy, data use, and data protection laws and regulations in the United States (e.g., California Consumer Privacy Act) and other countries (e.g., European Union's General Data Protection Regulation).

Trade & Export Controls: Changes in U.S. trade policy, tariffs, and import/export regulations, as well as retaliatory measures from other countries, can increase material costs, disrupt supply, or negatively impact international sales. The Company is also subject to export restrictions and sanctions compliance requirements.

Legal Proceedings: The Company is involved in ordinary course litigation, primarily related to state "lemon laws," warranty claims, and vehicle accidents. A product recall issued in late fiscal 2021 related to purchased parts is ongoing, with costs partially reimbursed by suppliers.

Tax Strategy & Considerations

Tax Profile:

• Effective Tax Rate: The effective income tax rate for fiscal 2025 was 13.4%, a decrease from 23.9% in fiscal 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a foreign tax law change in fiscal 2025 (revaluation of foreign deferred tax liabilities) and a favorable shift in the jurisdictional mix of earnings.
• Tax Reform Impact: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBB"), signed July 4, 2025, includes 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025. Fiscal 2026 will offer an option to accelerate previously capitalized U.S. research and development costs, and international tax provisions will impact fiscal 2027.

Insurance & Risk Transfer

Risk Management Framework:

• Insurance Coverage: The Company maintains insurance coverage for workers' compensation, product liability, and group medical (above self-insured retention limits), as well as property and business interruption insurance. Cybersecurity insurance is also maintained to mitigate potential information security breaches.
• Risk Transfer Mechanisms: The Company utilizes repurchase agreements with financial institutions that finance dealer inventory, acting as a contingent liability. Efforts are made to compel suppliers to maintain appropriate insurance coverage and agree to commercially reasonable indemnification requirements.
