WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES REPORTS RESULTS FOR
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2012


FOREST CITY, IOWA, December 15, 2011 - Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE:WGO), one of the leading United States (U.S.) recreation vehicle manufacturers, today reported financial results for the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Revenues for the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 ended November 26, 2011 were $131.8 million, an increase of 6.6 percent, versus $123.7 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011. Included within consolidated revenues was $10.1 million associated with towable products. The Company reported an operating profit of $627,000 for the quarter, versus $4.9 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011. Net income for the first quarter was $1.0 million versus $3.8 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011. On a diluted per share basis, the Company had net income of $0.04 for the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 versus $0.13 for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011.

The first quarter was negatively impacted by lower motor home deliveries, as well as lower plant utilization due to shortened work weeks, and positively impacted by an increased average selling price due to a shift of mix within the higher-priced Class A products.
 
“While we are disappointed that wholesale shipments within the RV industry are fairly flat with shipments in calendar 2010, we have seen overall market share improvement, driven by our growth in the Class A diesel market segment," said Winnebago Industries' CEO and President Randy Potts. According to Statistical Surveys, Inc., the retail reporting service for the RV industry, Winnebago Industries' combined market share for U.S. Class A and C motor homes was 18.8% calendar year to date through October, compared to 18.4% for the same period in 2010.

"We were pleased with traffic and dealer interest in our products at the National RV Trade Show in Louisville, KY, which was held November 29 through December 1, 2011," continued Potts. "The Winnebago Industries display featured our Winnebago, Itasca and Era motor homes, as well as our Winnebago and SunnyBrook brand towables. We had a number of new 2012 floorplans on display, including the spacious new Class A diesel Winnebago Journey and Itasca Meridian 42E tag-axle models that made their debut at the show. Our Towables display was also very busy with many dealers viewing the new and/or redesigned Winnebago and SunnyBrook products for the first time."
