ELKHART , Ind . , June 8 , 2021 / PRNewswire / -- THOR Industries , Inc. ( NYSE : THO ) today announced record results for the third fiscal quarter ended April 30 , 202 : " We posted record results in our third fiscal quarter , achieving both the highest quarterly net sales and net income figures in the history of THOR Industries . These results show that growth continued unabated after the initial temporary shutdown of our dealers and THOR Industries ' production lines in late March through the end of April of last year due to the pandemic . We have increased our production levels , often with modest capital expenditures , and intend to continue to increase production levels to address the ongoing , robust consumer and dealer demand for THOR Industries RV products , while also managing through continuing supply cha challenges , " said Bob Martin , President and CEO of THOR Industries . " Demand for our products continues to grow at both the retail and wholesale levels . While our pace of production and shipments has accelerated , demand is so high that independent dealer inventories of THOR Industries products continue to decline while dealer sales are increasing . This increasing consumer demand has driven our order backlog to more than $ 14 billion at the end of the quarter and includes units that will be needed to restock depleted dealer inventories . Since a significant number of units in our backlog have already been retail sold , we currently believe the restocking cycle will extend well into calendar 2022 , " said Martin .
