Thor Industries, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors had retired the company’s existing share repurchase authorization, set to expire on July 31, 2025, and re-authorized the company to repurchase up to $400 million of its common stock.
The repurchase authorization will expire on July 31, 2027.
“I am pleased to announce that Thor’s Board of Directors has authorized a significant buyback program, authorizing management to purchase up to $400 million of outstanding shares,” said Bob Martin, president and CEO of Thor Industries. This decision reflects our unwavering commitment to enhancing shareholder value. I’m proud of the fact that since we started our buyback program in December of 2021, we have repurchased over 3.5 million of our outstanding shares. Mindful that the RV market since that time has largely been down, our ability to repurchase this volume of shares is a testament to our ability to generate cash even in tougher markets.
“While recently we have had an extended period of time when we were unable to trade due to restrictions, since the end of our third quarter, we have been active buyers of our stock, repurchasing over 340,000 shares since our trading window opened on June 6. As we look ahead, we will continue to be buyers of our stock as long as its price is disconnected with our long-term value proposition, underscoring our confidence in the strength of our company and the potential for future growth,” concluded Martin.
