BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has three 
reportable segments, all related to recreational vehicles: (1) North American towables, (2) North American motorized and (3) European.
The North American towable recreational vehicle reportable segment consists of the following operating segments that have been aggregated: Airstream (towable), Heartland (including Bison, Cruiser RV and DRV), Jayco (including Jayco towable, Starcraft and Highland Ridge), Keystone (including CrossRoads and Dutchmen) and KZ (including Venture RV). The North American motorized recreational vehicle reportable segment consists of the following operating segments that have been aggregated: Airstream (motorized), Jayco (including Jayco motorized and Entegra Coach) and Thor Motor Coach. The European recreational vehicles reportable segment consists solely of the recently acquired EHG business, as discussed in Note
2
to the Consolidated Financial Statements. EHG includes the operations of
eight
RV production facilities producing numerous respected and well-known brands within Europe, including Hymer, Buerstner, Carado, Dethleffs, Eriba, Etrusco, Laika, LMC, Niesmann+Bischoff, Xplore, Elddis, Compass, Buccaneer, Sunlight and CrossCamp. EHG’s products include numerous types of towable and motorized recreational vehicles, including motorcaravans, caravans, campervans and other
RV-related
products and services.
The operations of the Company’s Postle subsidiary are included in “Other,” which is a
non-reportable
segment. Net sales included in Other mainly relate to the sale of aluminum extrusions and specialized component products. Intercompany eliminations adjust for Postle sales to the Company’s North American towable and North American motorized segments, which are consummated at established transfer prices generally consistent with the selling prices of extrusion components to third-party customers.
Total assets include those assets used in the operation of each reportable and
non-reportable
segment, and the Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, deferred income taxes, deferred compensation plan assets and certain Corporate real estate holdings primarily utilized by Thor’s U.S.-based operating subsidiaries.
