Our acquisition of EHG on February 1, 2019, expanded our operations into the growing European market with a long-standing European industry leader. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, our net sales by geographic region are presented below.

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of RV’s across our global footprint. The principal types of recreational vehicles that we produce in North America include conventional travel trailers and fifth wheels as well as Class A, Class C and Class B motorhomes. In Europe, we produce numerous types of motorized and towable recreational vehicles, including motorcaravans, campervans, urban vehicles, caravans and other RV-related products and services. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, our net sales by RV category are demonstrated below.

Historically strong free cash flow generation and disciplined balance sheet management

We have historically generated significant free cash flow, and we believe our financial profile will allow us to continue to do so in the future. Over the last three years, we have generated $1.2 billion of free cash flow, generating approximately $398 million, $434 million and $378 million in fiscal years ended 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the definition of free cash flow and a reconciliation of this measure from operating cash flow, please see “—Summary historical financial data.”

We maintain a highly variable cost structure and working capital and capital expenditure profile which allows us to preserve cash in weaker economic environments. Our working capital dynamics are such that in periods of economic weakness, net working capital is a source of cash as inventory is released. For example, in 2009, the trough of the recession, we generated $47.3 million from inventory turnover. Our focus on assembly, not manufacturing, allows us to adjust capacity quickly. Capital expenditures are typically made (i) to purchase land, (ii) to expand production facilities and (iii) to replace machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business. We have proven our ability to quickly decrease these expenditures as shown in 2009 when we spent $5.6 million (0.4% of revenues) on cash capital expenditures, approximately 61% less than in the prior year. During 2009, we maintained positive free cash flow and positive net income despite a challenging operating environment.

We strive to maintain adequate cash balances to ensure we have sufficient resources to respond to opportunities and changing business conditions. Our priorities for the use of current and future available cash generated from operations remain consistent with our history, and include reducing our indebtedness, maintaining and, over time, growing our dividend payments and funding our growth both organically and opportunistically through acquisitions.

On an as adjusted basis, after giving effect to this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, we expect to have approximately $1.0 billion of available liquidity and total net leverage of 1.5x. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, please see “—Summary historical financial data.” In addition, we have historically demonstrated a priority, willingness and ability to pay down debt consistent with our capital allocation objectives. Since the closing of the EHG acquisition on February 1, 2019, we have repaid approximately $580 million under our Term Loan Facility.

Recent developments

Acquisition of Airxcel

On September 1, 2021, we and AirX MidCo, LLC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of AirX Intermediate, Inc. (“Airxcel”). Airxcel manufactures and sells a comprehensive line of functionally critical, branded products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as well as consumers via aftermarket sales through dealers and retailers. The purchase price was $750 million, subject to standard post-closing adjustments. We funded the acquisition of Airxcel from a combination of cash on-hand and from our Asset-Based Credit Facility entered into on February 1, 2019, as amended on September 1, 2021 (the “ABL Credit Facility”). In conjunction with the Airxcel acquisition, we expanded our ABL Credit Facility from $750 million to $1.0 billion.

This acquisition is consistent with our long-term strategic growth plan to grow sales and enhance consolidated gross margins. The acquisition of Airxcel provides us with significant long-term, strategic benefits, including strengthening our RV supply chain and expanding our offering of functionally critical components. The acquisition also is expected to diversity and grow our revenue streams with enhanced gross margin, particularly in the aftermarket business. With the acquisition of Airxcel, our North American footprint includes manufacturing facilities in five states and a distribution center in Indiana.

Approximately 80% of Airxcel’s revenues are from OEM sales with the remaining 20% from aftermarket sales. Approximately 30% of Airxcel’s OEM revenues were generated from sales to subsidiaries of ours.

For the last twelve months ended July 31, 2021, Airxcel generated net sales of $659 million, which excludes net sales from Airxcel’s Cleer Vision subsidiary which was acquired on April 1, 2021.

We define EBITDA as net income or loss before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider in the evaluation of our ongoing operating performance from period to period. We define Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA, as further adjusted for our acquisition of Airxcel. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe such non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures to investors because they may help investors to compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees our business operations on a day-to-day basis. While we believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures will enhance an investor’s understanding of our operating performance, the use of these non-GAAP measures as analytical tools has limitations and should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for an analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP.

We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management and the board of directors do not believe are indicative of our core operating results when assessing our performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA because the Senior Secured Credit Facilities use measures, and the indenture governing the notes will use measures, similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants.

While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Items that are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on net income. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income, cash flow from operations or other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For further detail, see “Non-GAAP financial measures.”
