The reported figure also topped the consensus mark of $410 million. Quarterly adjusted EBITDA jumped 387.1% year on year to $80.1 million, courtesy of favorable pricing and operational discipline. The metric also beat the consensus mark of $61 million. Moreover, backlog in the segment amounted to 46,646 units (or $1,522.1 million), up a whopping 264.9% year over year.
For the reported quarter, revenues in the Motorhome segment improved 89.2% year over year to $385.3 million, thanks to strong demand for Newmar and Winnebago branded products. The revenue figure also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $356 million. The segment recorded an EBITDA of $37.5 million, turning around from the year-ago loss of $10.8 million. Also, the segment’s backlog was 18,145 units (or $2,180.1 million), skyrocketing 323.3% year on year, highlighting surging consumer demand during the reported quarter.

VGM Scores
At this time, Winnebago has an average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock was allocated a grade of A on the value side, putting it in the top quintile for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
Outlook
Estimates have been broadly trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. It comes with little surprise Winnebago has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). We expect an above average return from the stock in the next few months.
