Six-month motorhome sales totaled 3,345 units and six-month towable recreational vehicles totaled 1,221 units.
According to Monaco Coach Corporation Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kay Toolson, "We met several key goals for the second quarter. Foremost was the approximate $20 million reduction in our finished goods inventory. However, in order to realize this inventory reduction, we offered wholesale and retail sales incentives that pressured our margins and earnings. Weighed against the business considerations and financial cost associated with carrying a high finished goods inventory, second quarter earnings pressure was expected as we focus on improving our balance sheet."
Monaco Coach Corporation President John Nepute added, "Our 2004 models have been very well accepted by dealers and consumers. It has not been necessary to offer sales promotions on 2004 models. However, we are continuing to offer some retail sales incentives on 2003 models that remain on dealers' lots. The successful introduction of our 2004 models, along with gradually strengthening retail sales, have contributed to steady improvement to our order backlog."
Monaco Coach Corporation Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Marty Daley stated, "We continue to balance demand with production rates and finished goods inventory, and we expect third quarter revenue to be similar to the second quarter. Based on our current production rates, we should be able to further reduce finished goods inventory in the third quarter. As a result of lower run rates and continuing retail promotions, we expect third quarter gross margins in the 10.5% to 11% range, and third quarter sales, general, and administrative expenses in the 8.75% to 9.25% range."
Headquartered in Coburg, Oregon, with additional manufacturing facilities in Indiana, Monaco Coach Corporation is one of the nation's leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles. The company offers customers luxury recreational vehicle models under the Monaco, Holiday Rambler, Safari, Beaver, McKenzie and Royale Coach brand names.
