UPDATE ON CANADIAN TARIFFS


Tourism Holdings Limited (thl) notes the announcement made this morning by the Department of Finance

Canada, providing further details on the retaliatory auto tariffs imposed by Canada on imports from the

USA.


Canada has confirmed the implementation of a 25% tariff on the non-Canadian and non-Mexican content

of CUSMA-compliant

1

fully assembled vehicles imported from the USA. This tariff applies to recreational

vehicles (RVs) imported by thl from manufacturers in the USA for its Canadian RV fleet.


thl typically sources 100% of its Canadian RV fleet from manufacturers in the USA, which is a common

practice within the Canadian RV industry for both rentals and sales. thl’s understanding, based on current

information, is that an effective tariff rate of approximately 22% will apply to the value of the vehicles.


The implementation of the tariffs is likely to increase the value of thl’s RVs currently situated in Canada,

which were acquired at pre-tariff costs. How this impacts thl’s financial results, in quantum and in timing,

cannot be determined at this point in time.


thl is working with industry stakeholders and advisers on processes to seek relief from the applicable tariffs.

At this stage, thl is unable to comment on the likelihood of relief being granted under these processes.


In recent weeks as the situation has developed, thl has taken several actions to mitigate the impact of

potential tariffs on performance in calendar 2025. These actions include:

- accelerating the delivery of thl’s 2025 new builds from the USA into Canada earlier than usual. thl

expects that approximately half of its 2025 new builds will be moved into Canada before the tariffs

take effect, and is exploring options for the remaining new builds; and

- relocating a portion of its existing USA rental fleet to Canada ahead of the tariff implementation.

thl will continue to monitor the ongoing developments in tariffs and leverage its global reach and RV

industry relationships to mitigate the impacts where possible.
