North American Towable RV net sales were down 4.9%&nbsp;Y/Y, North American Motorized RV net sales decreased&nbsp;29.0%, and European RV net sales decreased&nbsp;14.6%&nbsp;in the quarter.
Quarterly gross profit margin contracted by 120 basis points to 13.1%. Thor Industries exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $445.2 million. Inventories as of quarter end totaled $1.37 billion.
Bob Martin, President and CEO, said, &#8220;As we forecasted, our performance through the first quarter of our fiscal year 2025 continued to be impacted by the soft retail and wholesale environment.&#8221;
&#8220;Barring further future macroeconomic headwinds, it is our expectation that retail activity will begin to trend positively in the latter half of our fiscal 2025, particularly in North America, where we anticipate the return of a stronger retail market,&#8221; added Martin.

&#8221;As we look to the remainder of the fiscal year, we continue to believe that our initial forecast for our fiscal year 2025 is an accurate assessment of the RV industry for the next nine months. For our performance, this means that we anticipate a challenging second quarter but stronger quarters in our fiscal second half.&#8221;
Price Action: THO shares are down 5.06% at $103.00 premarket at the last check Wednesday.
