Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise designated)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The use of the terms "Winnebago Industries," "Winnebago," "we," "our," and "us" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, refers to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein are prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in these consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments, unless noted otherwise in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and reflects all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.
The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 30, 2025 filed with the SEC. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 29, 2026.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income represents the change in shareholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from sources other than shareholders. As of February 28, 2026 and March 1, 2025, the difference between comprehensive income and net income was not material.
Subsequent Events
In preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, we have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing, noting no material subsequent events.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes all references to software development project stages and requires entities to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project; and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We will adopt the standard in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the first quarter of our fiscal year beginning August 27, 2028 and filings thereafter.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the assessment of whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an inducement conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We will adopt the standard in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the first quarter of our fiscal year beginning August 30, 2026 and filings thereafter.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation Of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of additional disaggregated information about significant expenses within relevant income statement captions, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We will adopt the standard in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending August 26, 2028 and filings thereafter.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires expanded disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We will adopt the standard in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending August 29, 2026 and annual filings thereafter.
Note 2. Business Segments
We have nine operating segments: 1) Grand Design towables, 2) Winnebago towables, 3) Winnebago motorhomes, 4) Newmar motorhomes, 5) Grand Design motorhomes, 6) Chris-Craft marine, 7) Barletta marine, 8) Winnebago specialty vehicles, and 9) Lithionics. Financial performance is evaluated based on each operating segment's operating income, as defined below.
Our three reportable segments are: Towable RV (an aggregation of the Grand Design towables and the Winnebago towables operating segments), Motorhome RV (an aggregation of the Winnebago motorhomes, Newmar motorhomes, and Grand Design motorhomes operating segments), and Marine (an aggregation of the Chris-Craft marine and Barletta marine operating segments). Towable RV is comprised of non-motorized RV products that are generally towed by another vehicle, along with other related manufactured products and services. Motorhome RV is comprised of products that include a motorized chassis, along with other related manufactured products and services. Marine is comprised of products that include boats, along with other related manufactured products and services.
The Corporate / All Other category includes the Winnebago specialty vehicles and Lithionics operating segments as well as certain corporate administration expenses, such as corporate leadership and administration costs. None of these operating segments have ever met any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments.
Our Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), regularly reviews consolidated financial results in their entirety and operating segment financial information through operating income and has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. Our CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the consolidated enterprise and operating segments by reviewing budget to actual comparisons within the financial package regularly provided to him. Each operating segment is allocated resources, and segment management is responsible for operating decisions and assessing performance within their respective operating segment. Capital is allocated to each operating segment by the CODM based on factors such as business size, operating segment performance (measured by operating income), strategic initiatives of both the operating segment and the enterprise, and the total available capital of the consolidated enterprise. The accounting policies of all reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 30, 2025.
We monitor and evaluate the operating performance of our reportable segments based on operating income. Operating income is defined as net revenues less cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).
Identifiable assets of the reportable segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and certain deferred tax balances. The general corporate assets are included in the Corporate / All Other category.
Net sales and significant expense categories included in operating income by reportable segment as well as a reconciliation to consolidated income before income taxes are as follows:

Note 3. Investments and Fair Value Measurements
In determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, we utilize market data or other assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market and adjust for non-performance and/or other risks associated with us as well as counterparties, as appropriate. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fair Value at | | Fair Value Hierarchy |
| (in millions) | February 28, 2026 | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 |

| | | | | | | |
Assets that Fund Deferred Compensation
Our assets that fund deferred compensation are marketable equity securities measured at fair value using quoted market prices and primarily consist of equity-based mutual funds. These securities, used to fund the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, are classified as Level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing stock prices are readily available. Refer to Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 30, 2025 for additional information regarding these plans.
The proportion of the assets that will fund the deferred compensation payments within a year are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining assets are classified as non-current and are included in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain non-financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets primarily include goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and right-of-use lease assets. These assets were originally recognized at amounts equal to the fair value determined at date of acquisition or purchase. If certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, we will evaluate the non-financial asset for impairment. If an impairment has occurred, the asset will be written down to its current estimated fair value. No impairments were recorded for non-financial assets in the six months ended February 28, 2026 or March 1, 2025.
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
Certain financial instruments are not measured at fair value but are recorded at carrying amounts approximating fair value based on their short-term nature. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and other payables. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Our debt obligations are recorded at amortized cost but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The fair value of our debt was determined using current quoted prices in active markets for our publicly traded debt obligations, which is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fair value of our debt.

Note 7. Product Warranties
We provide certain service and warranty on our products. From time to time, we also voluntarily incur costs for certain warranty-type expenses occurring after the normal warranty period expires to help protect the reputation of our products and maintain the goodwill of our customers. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon historical warranty and service claims experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and cost experience becomes available.
In addition to the costs associated with the contractual warranty coverage provided on products, we also occasionally incur costs as a result of additional service actions not covered by warranties, including product recalls and customer satisfaction actions. Although we estimate and reserve for the cost of these service actions when probable and estimable, there can be no assurance that expense levels will remain at current levels or such reserves will continue to be adequate.
Changes in the product warranty liability are as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Credit Agreements
On July 15, 2022, we amended and restated our asset-backed revolving credit agreement ("ABL Credit Facility") to, among other things, increase the commitments available from $192.5 million to $350.0 million and extend the maturity date from October 22, 2024 to July 15, 2027 (subject to certain factors which may accelerate the maturity date). The $350.0 million credit facility is on a revolving basis, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The ABL Credit Facility is available for issuance of letters of credit to a specified limit of $35.0 million. We pay a commitment fee of 0.25% based on the average daily amount of the facility available, but unused during the most recent quarter. We can elect to base the interest rate on various rates plus specific spreads depending on the borrowing amount outstanding. If drawn, interest on ABL Credit Facility borrowings is at a floating rate based upon our election, either term SOFR or REVSOFR30 (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility agreement), plus, in each case, a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, as well as an applicable spread between 1.25% and 1.75%, depending on the usage of the facility during the most recent quarter. Based on current usage, we would pay an applicable spread of 1.25%. In connection with the amendment, we capitalized $1.2 million of issuance costs that are being amortized over the five-year term of the ABL Credit Facility.
Senior Secured Notes
On July 8, 2020, we closed our private offering (the “Senior Secured Notes Offering”) of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes were issued in accordance with an Indenture dated as of July 8, 2020 (the “Indenture”). The Senior Secured Notes will mature on July 15, 2028 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes accrues starting July 8, 2020 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, which began on January 15, 2021.
Debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated debt agreement. If early principal payments are made on the Senior Secured Notes, a proportional amount of the unamortized debt issuance costs is expensed. As part of the Senior Secured Notes Offering, we capitalized $7.5 million in debt issuance costs that are being amortized over the eight-year term of the agreement.
On February 3, 2025, we commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash up to $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes (the "Tender Offer"). On February 18, 2025, we amended the Tender Offer by increasing the maximum aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes to $100.0 million. On February 20, 2025, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes were validly tendered and accepted. In connection with the Senior Secured Notes Tender Offer, we recorded a loss on note repurchase of $2.0 million in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, accrued interest of $0.6 million was paid in connection with the Tender Offer.
On February 20, 2026, we redeemed $100.0 million of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, which brought the remaining principal amount outstanding to $100.0 million. In connection with the redemption of the Senior Secured Notes, we recorded a loss on note repurchase of $0.8 million in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, accrued interest of $0.6 million was paid in connection with the redemption of the Senior Secured Notes.
2030 Convertible Notes
On January 23, 2024, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $339.8 million. The 2030 Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 3.25%, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2024, and will mature on January 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.
The 2030 Convertible Notes may be converted at any time on or after July 15, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date. Upon conversion, we will settle the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes in cash, and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.
The initial conversion rate of the 2030 Convertible Notes was 11.3724 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $87.93 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events specified in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest on any 2030 Convertible Note being converted. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) during the make-whole fundamental change conversion period (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes), we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by the number of additional shares described in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes for a holder that elects to convert such holder’s 2030 Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. As of February 28, 2026, there have been no changes to the initial conversion rate.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 15, 2029, the 2030 Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances:
1.during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on March 31, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) per share of the common stock is more than 130% of the applicable conversion price (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
2.during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period to the 2030 Convertible Notes") in which the trading price (as defined in the 2030 Convertible Notes) per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period to the 2030 Convertible Notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the common stock and the conversion rate for the 2030 Convertible Notes on each such trading day;
3.upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events set forth in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes; or
4.if we call such 2030 Convertible Notes for redemption (as described below).
The 2030 Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after January 15, 2028 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time (as set forth in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes). The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
On January 18, 2024 and January 19, 2024, in connection with the offering of the 2030 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “2030 Hedge Transactions”) that cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2030 Convertible Notes.
On January 18, 2024 and January 19, 2024, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the “2030 Warrant Transactions” and, together with the 2030 Hedge Transactions, the “2030 Call Spread Transactions”), whereby we sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2030 Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
The 2030 Hedge Transactions and the 2030 Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, and in each case, are not part of the terms of the 2030 Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the 2030 Convertible Notes. Holders of the 2030 Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 2030 Call Spread Transactions.
Accounting Treatment of the 2030 Convertible Notes and Related 2030 Hedge Transactions and 2030 Warrant Transactions
The 2030 Convertible Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. Interest expense, representing the amortization of the $10.2 million of debt issuance costs as well as the contractual interest expense are amortized using an effective interest rate of 3.8% over the term of the 2030 Convertible Notes. We recorded $3.2 million and $6.4 million of interest expense during the three and six months ended February 28, 2026. We recorded $3.3 million and $6.5 million of interest expense during the three and six months ended March 1, 2025.
The net after-tax cost incurred in connection with the 2030 Call Spread Transactions was $20.6 million. These transactions are classified as equity and are not remeasured each reporting period.

Note 9. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Repurchase Commitments
Generally, manufacturers in the same industries as us enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. Most dealers are financed on a "floorplan" basis under which a bank or finance company lends the dealer all, or substantially all, of the purchase price, collateralized by a security interest in the units purchased.
Our repurchase agreements generally provide that, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution, we will repurchase the financed merchandise. The terms of these agreements, which generally can last up to 24 months, provide that our liability will be the lesser of remaining principal owed by the dealer to the lending institution, or dealer
invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. Our liability cannot exceed 100% of the dealer invoice. In certain instances, we also repurchase inventory from dealers due to state law or regulatory requirements that govern voluntary or involuntary relationship terminations. Although laws vary from state to state, some states have laws in place that require manufacturers of recreational vehicles or boats to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. The total contingent liability on all repurchase agreements was approximately $1,859.3 million and $1,640.0 million at February 28, 2026 and August 30, 2025, respectively.
Our loss reserve for repurchase commitments contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment regarding a number of factors. Our risk of loss related to these repurchase commitments is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous dealers and lenders. The aggregate contingent liability related to our repurchase agreements represents all financed dealer inventory at the period-end reporting date subject to a repurchase agreement, net of the greater of periodic reductions per the agreement or dealer principal payments. Based on these repurchase agreements and our historical loss experience, an associated loss reserve is established, which is included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our repurchase accrual was $1.3 million and $1.6 million at February 28, 2026 and August 30, 2025, respectively. Repurchase risk is affected by the credit worthiness of our dealer network. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to establish the loss reserve for repurchase commitments.
There was no material activity related to repurchase agreements during the six months ended February 28, 2026 and March 1, 2025.
Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings which are considered ordinary and routine litigation incidental to the business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. While we believe the ultimate disposition of litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, the possibility exists that such litigation may have an impact on our results for a particular reporting period in which litigation effects become probable and reasonably estimable. Though we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change related to these matters, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and our view of these matters may change in the future.
Note 10. Revenue
All operating revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Our primary revenue source is generated through the sale of manufactured towable RV units, motorhome RV units and marine units to our independent dealer network (our customers). The following table disaggregates revenue by reportable segment and product category:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended | | Six Months Ended |
| (in millions) | February 28, 2026 | | March 1, 2025 | | February 28, 2026 | | March 1, 2025 |

| Consolidated Net Revenues | $ | 657.4 | | | $ | 620.2 | | | $ | 1,360.1 | | | $ | 1,245.8 | |
(1) Relates to parts, accessories, and services.
(2) Relates to units, parts, accessories, and services associated with Winnebago specialty vehicles. In addition, this activity also includes Lithionics battery sales, including the related systems and accessories, that are sold directly to external customers.
We do not have material contract assets or liabilities. Allowances for uncollectible receivables are established based on historical collection trends, write-off history, consideration of current conditions and expectations for future economic conditions.
Concentration of Risk
No single dealer organization accounted for more than 10.0% of net revenue for the six months ended February 28, 2026. One single dealer organization accounted for approximately 10.8% of net revenue for the six months ended March 1, 2025.
Note 11. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 9.9% and 8.1% for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and March 1, 2025, respectively; and 25.1% and 21.0% for the six months ended February 28, 2026 and March 1, 2025, respectively. The change in our effective tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 1, 2025 was driven primarily by higher pre-tax income, partially offset by the impact of discrete tax benefits in the current year as compared to the prior year. The increase in tax rate for the six months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the six months ended March 1, 2025 was driven primarily by higher pre-tax income in the current year as compared to the prior year.
As of February 28, 2026, $10.9 million of U.S. federal income taxes receivable was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Comparatively, as of August 30, 2025, $7.3 million of U.S. federal income taxes receivable was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company files a U.S. Federal tax return, as well as returns in various international and state jurisdictions. As of February 28, 2026, our U.S. Federal returns from Fiscal 2022 to present are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. With limited exceptions, U.S. state returns from Fiscal 2021 to present continue to be subject to review by state taxing jurisdictions. We believe we have adequately reserved for our exposure to potential additional payments for uncertain tax positions in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
Recent Tax Legislation
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which included various provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions that became effective in Fiscal 2025 and others implemented through Fiscal 2027.
In Fiscal 2026, the OBBBA could have a more significant impact, particularly related to the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, expensing of previously capitalized and unamortized U.S. research and development costs, and changes to interest deductibility. We will continue to assess the implications of the OBBBA. During the six months ended February 28, 2026, none of the relevant provisions of the OBBBA had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 12. Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1) Earnings per share amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers and therefore may not recalculate using the rounded numbers provided.
The dilutive effect of stock compensation awards, if any, was determined using the treasury stock method while the dilutive impact of the 2030 Convertible Notes was determined using the if-converted method. Under the treasury stock method, shares associated with certain anti-dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation because the exercise of those options would lead to a net reduction in common shares outstanding or anti-dilution. Under the if-converted method, the 2030 Convertible Notes are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the reporting period. However, since we are required to settle the principal amount in cash and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election, the 2030 Convertible Notes only have an impact on diluted earnings per share when the average share price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price.
