Winnebago Industries reports record earnings once again, this time for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. Revenues were $234-point-1 (M) million, $13 (M) million more when compared to earnings from the previous quarter. First quarter revenues were also nearly 32-percent higher than last year, when the company posted earnings of $177-point-8 (M) million. Winnebago president Bruce Hertzke says studies show that the company’s prime target market of people 50 and older will continue to increase by over four (M) million a year in the U.S. through the year 2030. Winnebago is anticipating their new Charles City expansion to be on-line sometime early next year to help a backlog of orders which was nearly at two-thousand at the end of the quarter.
