In plain terms
THOR Industries is the world's largest maker of recreational vehicles. When a dealer stocks its vehicles using a bank loan, the company has promised to buy those vehicles back if the dealer cannot repay. The total of those promises is close in size to the company's own money, yet it does not appear in the debt column of its books.
