Factors to Shape Q3 Results
Buyouts of EHG and TiffinHomes are providing Thor with attractive long-term growth opportunities. Commercial and operational synergies from both buyouts are likely to have buoyed Thor’s third-quarter result.
On the flip side, amid economic uncertainties, customers have been cutting down on discretionary expenses. Thor’s third-quarter results are likely to have been adversely affected by its declining backlog. Also, the firm has been bearing the brunt of escalating selling, general and administrative expenses for the past few years. The trend is expected to have continued in the quarter under review and is also likely to have limited Thor’s operating margin.
Here’s a look at the estimates for key segmental metrics of the company.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter fiscal 2023 revenues from the North American Motorized RVs segment is pegged at $831 million, indicating a decline from $1,053 million recorded in the year-ago period. The consensus mark for revenues from the North American Towable RVs unit is $1,354 million, down from $2,640 recorded in the year-ago period. The consensus mark for revenues from the European RV segment is $637 million, indicating a decrease from $724 million registered in the year-ago period.
