  8. STRATEGIC VISION FOR GROWTH At Thor we strive to provide RV consumers with superior products and services through innovative solutions which enhance the enjoyment of the RV lifestyle Our decentralized operating structure and independent operating subsidiaries foster an entrepreneurial spirit and an unending focus on the needs of the users of our products – resulting in our drive to lead the industry with innovation, product quality and customer service Our focus requires that we make decisions based on the long-term success of our Company: • While we strive to lead the industry in market share, we will not strive for market share at the expense of quality or without regard to bottom-line impact • Growth is important, but this is a business of relationships, and we realize that the key to long-term sustainable sales growth rests in the strength of our relationships with consumers, dealers and suppliers • Our relationship with shareholders is important ― profits are a key driver to our long -term success • The path to long-term success is seldom straight, so our leaders manage in a way that moves us closer to our goals, even though it might impact our results in the short term 8

  11. CORPORATE INTEGRITY No golden parachutes No ‘pro forma’ earnings. We report net income, not adjusted earnings to cover up performance Consistent focus on shareholder value Simple compensation philosophy: • Mainly cash compensation based on pre-tax income – a true pay- for-performance philosophy • Restricted stock units also awarded based on performance to provide broader, long-term focus on overall Company results 11

  12. RV INDUSTRY CONDITIONS REMAIN POSITIVE Consumer confidence has strengthened since September. Preliminary results rose to 93.1 in November 2015 from 90.0 in October and 85.7 in September. This compares with 88.8 a year ago.* Consumer sentiment was boosted by expectations of improving wages and continued modest inflation heading into 2016, resulting in improvements in buying plans for large discretionary purchases, including vehicles.* Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) forecast in August 2015, that calendar 2015 wholesale shipments for all RV categories should increase to 373,700 units, or an increase of 4.7% over calendar year 2014. Most of the unit growth in calendar 2015 is expected in travel trailers, which along with fifth wheels are expected to account for 84% of all RV shipments in 2015.** RVIA forecast 2016 calendar year shipments for all categories will total 383,100 units, a 2.5% increased from the expected calendar year 2015.** Pricing and promotional environment remains competitive, but generally improved over prior year. Domestic travel offers fewer risks than international travel. Lower fuel prices make RV travel increasingly attractive for consumers. *Source: University of Michigan preliminary Consumer Sentiment Index for November 2015 12 **Source: RVIA Roadsigns Fall 2015
