Winnebago Industries reported a 9.9% decrease in net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, totaling $698.7 million, due to lower unit volumes and a challenging retail environment. The company cited cautious consumer behavior influenced by macroeconomic factors such as inflation and geopolitical uncertainties as primary drivers for the decline. Net income was $14.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to $17.6 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.66, down from $0.81 in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of 35 cents per share, payable on June 24, 2026.

Based on current business conditions and results through the first nine months of the fiscal year, Winnebago updated its fiscal 2026 guidance. The company now expects consolidated net revenues in the range of $2.65 billion to $2.75 billion, reduced from a previous range of $2.80 billion to $3.00 billion. Adjusted earnings per diluted share guidance was lowered to a range of $1.65 to $2.00, compared to the previous range of $2.10 to $2.80. Additionally, Winnebago lowered its forecast for North American RV wholesale shipments to 290,000 to 310,000 units from its previous expectation of 315,000 to 345,000 units for fiscal 2026.
