ELKHART, Ind., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Patrick Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: PATK) ("Patrick" or the "Company"), a leading component solutions provider for the Outdoor Enthusiast and Housing markets, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net sales increased 10% to $1.02 billion, an increase of $96 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. The increase in sales was primarily driven by higher revenue from our RV and Housing end markets combined with revenue from our first quarter acquisition of Sportech, which more than offset lower revenue from our Marine end market as a result of continued strict production discipline by marine OEMs in light of ongoing marine dealer inventory destocking.

Operating income of $85 million in the second quarter of 2024 increased $9 million, or 12%, compared to $76 million in the second quarter of 2023. Operating margin of 8.3% increased 10 basis points compared to 8.2% in the same period a year ago as a result of continued labor management and increased revenues. For the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, excluding acquisition transaction costs and purchase accounting adjustments in both periods, adjusted operating margin improved 40 basis points to 7.7%.

Net income increased 13% to $48 million compared to $42 million in the second quarter of 2023. Diluted earnings per share of $2.16 increased 11% compared to $1.94 for the second quarter of 2023. For the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, excluding acquisition transaction costs and purchase accounting adjustments in both periods, adjusted net income increased 20% to $87 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 20% to $3.95.

"Our solid revenue and operating margin improvement in the second quarter reflect the strategic diversification investments we have made over the last several years as well as our cost management initiatives and capital expenditures related to automation projects," said Andy Nemeth, Chief Executive Officer. "I am proud of how hard the Patrick team worked in the first half of the year to leverage our variable cost structure and execute operational efficiencies during a time when market and macroeconomic conditions have been so volatile."

Jeff Rodino, President – RV, said, "We believe our history of successful, targeted acquisitions has bolstered the resiliency of our business, deepened our talent bench, and improved our ability to grow revenue and margins. Our acquisition philosophy remains intact, as we look for strong, culturally-aligned management teams, solid risk-adjusted returns, and the potential for significant long-term demand growth. Additionally, we are investing in our platform through our Advanced Product Group, which is collaborating with our valued customers to develop innovative, full-component solutions that will help enable us to continue to drive organic growth. In the second quarter, we brought numerous products to market, creating momentum and excitement for the future of Patrick, supporting our goal of being the supplier of choice for our customers and generating returns for shareholders."

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

For the first six months of 2024, cash provided by operations was $173 million compared to $178 million for the prior year period. Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $17 million in the second quarter of 2024, reflecting maintenance capital expenditures and continued investments in alignment with our automation and technology initiatives. On a trailing twelve-month basis, free cash flow through the second quarter of 2024 was $348 million, compared to $444 million through the second quarter of 2023 when we aggressively monetized working capital in a declining sales environment. Our long-term debt decreased approximately $82 million during the second quarter of 2024, as we continued to focus on deleveraging in alignment with our strategic plan following our first quarter 2024 acquisition of Sportech.

We remained disciplined in allocating and deploying capital, returning approximately $12 million to shareholders in the second quarter of 2024 through dividends. We remain opportunistic on share repurchases and had $78 million left authorized under our current plan at the end of the second quarter.

Our total debt at the end of the second quarter was approximately $1.33 billion, resulting in a total net leverage ratio of 2.6x (as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement). Pro forma net leverage at the time of the acquisition of Sportech in January 2024 was approximately 2.9x. Available liquidity, comprised of borrowing availability under our credit facility and cash on hand, was approximately $519 million.

Business Outlook and Summary

"We believe Patrick's profitable growth prospects and earnings power remain substantial and expect continued market share gains and strategic acquisitions to enhance our performance when our end markets recover," continued Mr. Nemeth. "Our investments in our business and team and resulting solid financial performance, coupled with our strong balance sheet, have positioned our team to maintain an offensive stance in these volatile markets. With our net leverage ratio nearing our target range and available liquidity of $519 million, we remain positioned to actively engage potential acquisition candidates from within our robust pipeline and serve our customers at the highest level. Demand in our end markets continues to hinge upon consumer confidence and interest rate relief, and our businesses and leaders will maintain our strong operating discipline and financial foundation and use this time to continue developing innovative products and solutions for our customers that will enable value creation for years to come. OEMs and dealers have maintained tremendous discipline with regards to inventory management, which is paramount to the long-term health of the end markets we serve. Our team will continue to focus on what we can control and managing our business and cost structure, as we remain nimble with an eye on driving long-term profitable organic growth, free cash flow, and shareholder value."

Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also provides financial metrics, such as net leverage ratio, content per unit, net debt, free cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share (adjusted diluted EPS), adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and available liquidity, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to U.S. GAAP. Our computations of net leverage ratio, content per unit, net debt, free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted dilutive EPS, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and available liquidity may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. We calculate net debt by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from the gross value of debt outstanding. We calculate EBITDA by adding back depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, and income tax expense to net income. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by taking EBITDA and adding back stock-based compensation and loss on sale of property, plant and equipment, acquisition related costs, acquisition-related fair-value inventory step-up and subtracting out gain on sale of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted net income is calculated by removing the impact of acquisition related transaction costs, net of tax and acquisition-related fair-value inventory step-up, net of tax. Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income attributable to common shares divided by our weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted operating margin is calculated by removing the impact of acquisition related transaction costs and acquisition-related fair-value inventory step-up. We calculate free cash flow by subtracting cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment from cash flow from operations. RV wholesale unit shipments are provided by the RV Industry Association. Marine wholesale unit shipments are Company estimates based on data provided by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. MH wholesale unit shipments are provided by the Manufactured Housing Institute. Housing starts are provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
