Factors at Play

Strong economic growth — buoyed by widespread vaccination drive and massive fiscal stimulus — is set to have a positive impact on Winnebago’s third-quarter fiscal 2021 results. It is also to be noted that even after the gradual easing of restrictions, the risks of availing public transport like flights prompted many first-time buyers to opt for RVs to go camping around the country or enjoy a vacation, which is likely to have boosted the demand for Winnebago’s products in the to-be-reported quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Towable segment revenues is pegged at $410 million, indicating a year-over-year surge of 117%. Strong consumer demand for Grand Design and Winnebago’s product lines is likely to have driven revenues. The consensus mark for the segment’s adjusted EBITDA stands at $61 million, calling for a massive improvement from $16.5 million recorded in the year-ago quarter.

The Consensus Estimate for revenues at the Motorhome segment is pinned at $356 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 74.5% on the Newmar buyout. The consensus mark for the unit’s adjusted EBITDA is pegged at $40.9 million, suggesting a turnaround from a loss of $10.8 million incurred in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2020.
