INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, industry growth and projections, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for the common stock of Patrick Industries, Inc. (the “Company” or "Patrick") and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-K as well as other statements contained in the annual report and statements contained in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and publicly disseminated press releases, and statements which may be made from time to time in the future by management of the Company in presentations to shareholders, prospective investors, and others interested in the business and financial affairs of the Company, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are identified in the “Risk Factors” section of this Form 10-K as set forth in Part I, Item 1A. These factors include, without limitation, the impact of any economic downturns especially in the residential housing market, a decline in consumer confidence levels, pricing pressures due to competition, costs and availability of raw materials, the imposition of restrictions and taxes on imports of raw materials and components used in our products, information technology performance and security, the availability of commercial credit, the availability of retail and wholesale financing for residential and manufactured homes, the availability and costs of labor, inventory levels of retailers and manufacturers, the financial condition of our customers, retention and concentration of significant customers, the ability to generate cash flow or obtain financing to fund growth, future growth rates in the Company's core businesses, the seasonality and cyclicality in the industries to which our products are sold, realization and impact of efficiency improvements and cost reductions, the successful integration of acquisitions and other growth initiatives, increases in interest rates and oil and gasoline prices, adverse weather conditions impacting retail sales, our ability to remain in compliance with our credit agreement covenants, and general economic, market and political conditions. In addition, national and regional economic conditions may affect the retail sale of recreational vehicles and residential and manufactured housing. You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of various important factors, including those set forth in the reports and documents that the Company files with the SEC, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Any projections of financial performance or statements concerning expectations as to future developments should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results or developments will, in fact, occur. There can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly different from that set forth in such forward-looking statement. Patrick does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. See Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” below for further discussion.

PART I


ITEM 1.	BUSINESS

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company," "Patrick," "we," "our," or "us" refer to Patrick Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Company Overview

Patrick Industries, Inc. was founded in 1959 and incorporated in the state of Indiana in 1961. Patrick is a major manufacturer of component products and distributor of building products and materials serving original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) primarily in the recreational vehicle (“RV”) and manufactured housing (“MH”) industries. The Company also supplies products to adjacent industrial markets, such as kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, marine, and other industrial markets. The majority of the Company’s industrial customers are generally directly linked to the residential housing markets. At December 31, 2016, Patrick maintained 56 manufacturing plants and 22 warehouse and distribution facilities in 16 states.

The Company operates within two reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, through a nationwide network of manufacturing and distribution centers for its products, thereby reducing in-transit delivery time and cost to the regional manufacturing plants of its customers. The Manufacturing and Distribution segments accounted for 82% and 18% of the

Table of Contents

Company’s consolidated net sales for 2016, respectively. Financial information about these operating segments is included in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Form 10-K") and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company’s strategic and capital allocation strategy is to optimally manage and utilize its resources and leverage its platform of operating brands to continue to grow its business. Through strategic acquisitions, expansion geographically and into new product lines, investment in infrastructure and capital expenditures, Patrick seeks to ensure that its operating network contains both capacity and technology to support anticipated growth needs, to effectively respond to changes in inventory and sales levels, and to successfully integrate manufacturing, distribution and administrative functions.

The Company’s principal executive and administrative offices are located at 107 West Franklin Street, Elkhart, Indiana 46515; telephone number (574) 294-7511; Internet website address: www.patrickind.com. The information on Patrick's website is not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K. The Company makes available free of charge through the website, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports filed with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Primary Markets

Patrick manufactures and distributes its building products and interior decorative component products for use primarily by the RV and MH industries. Operating facilities that supply the Company’s products are strategically located in proximity to the customers they serve. The Company’s sales by market are as follows:



	2016		2015
RV	75	%	75	%
MH	13	%	14	%
Industrial	12	%	11	%
Total	100	%	100	%

Recreational Vehicles

According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, as noted in itsDecember 2016 Recreation Vehicle Market Report (the "RVIA"), RV industry conditions continued to improve as 2016 marked the seventh consecutive annual increase in RV wholesale unit shipments. Total RV industry shipments rose 15% compared to 2015, with shipments reaching a total of 430,691 units. The principal types of recreational vehicles include (1) towables: conventional travel trailers, folding camping trailers, fifth wheel travel trailers, and truck campers; and (2) motorized: motor homes. The Company estimates that its mix of RV revenues related to towable units and motorized units is consistent with the overall RV production mix. In 2016 and 2015, towable and motorized unit shipments represented approximately 87% and 13%, respectively, of total RV wholesale shipments. The towable sector increased 15% in 2016 over the prior year and the motorized sector rose 16% per the RVIA.

The Company’s RV products are sold primarily to major manufacturers of RVs, smaller OEMs, and to a lesser extent, manufacturers in adjacent industries. The RV market is primarily dominated by Thor Industries, Inc. ("Thor") and Forest River, Inc. ("Forest River") which combined held 86% of retail market share for towables and 63% for motorized units as reported per Statistical Surveys, Inc. for 2016 ("SSI").

Recreational vehicle purchases are generally consumer discretionary income purchases, and therefore, any situation which causes concerns related to discretionary income can have a negative impact on this market. The Company believes that industry-wide retail sales and the related production levels of RVs will continue to be dependent on the overall strength of the economy, consumer confidence levels, equity securities market trends, the level of disposable income, and other demographic trends.

Demographic and ownership trends continue to point to favorable market growth in the long term, as there is a culture shift toward outdoor activities, with a large segment of the population’s “millennials” embracing this outdoor lifestyle and entering into the RV marketplace. In addition, the number of “baby-boomers” reaching retirement age is steadily increasing, and the RV owning population in the 35-54 year-old demographic continues to grow.

Detailed narrative information about the Company’s sales to the RV industry is included in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-K.

Manufactured Housing

The Company’s manufactured housing products are sold primarily to major manufacturers of manufactured homes, other OEMs, and to a lesser extent, to manufacturers in adjacent industries. Major MH customers include Clayton Homes, Cavco Industries, Inc., and Champion Home Builders. In the aggregate, these manufacturers produced 65% of MH market retail unit shipments in 2016 per SSI.

Although wholesale unit shipments have increased in the MH industry from a low of approximately 50,000 units in 2009 to 81,169 units in 2016, they are still trending well below historical levels. While sales growth in the MH industry continues to be constrained by the lack of financing alternatives and credit availability in the short term, the Company believes there is significant upside potential for this market in the long term based upon current demographic trends, including multi-family housing capacity, new home pricing, improving credit and financing conditions, and improved consumer savings levels.

Factors that may favorably impact production levels in this industry include quality credit standards in the residential housing market, job growth, favorable changes in financing regulations, higher interest rates on traditional residential housing loans, and improved conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.

Detailed narrative information about the Company’s sales to the MH industry is included in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-K.

Industrial Markets

The Company estimates that approximately 50% of its industrial net sales in 2016 was associated with the U.S. residential housing market. The Company believes that there is a direct correlation between the demand for its products in this market and new residential housing construction and remodeling activities. Patrick's sales to the industrial market generally lag new housing starts by six to nine months and will vary based on differences in regional economic prospects.

Many of Patrick's core manufacturing products are also utilized in the kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, and marine markets. These markets are generally categorized by a more performance-than-price driven customer base, and provide an opportunity for the Company to diversify its customer base. Additionally, other residential

Table of Contents

and commercial segments have been less vulnerable to import competition, and therefore, provide opportunities for increased sales penetration and market share gains. Over the past three years, the residential housing market in particular has shown signs of improvement across the country and that trend is expected to continue in 2017.

Strategic Acquisitions

The Company is focused on driving growth in each of its primary markets through the acquisition of companies with strong management teams having a strategic fit with Patrick’s core values, business model and customer presence, as well as additional product lines, facilities, or other assets to complement or expand its existing businesses. The Company may explore strategic acquisition opportunities that are not directly tied to the three primary markets it serves in order to further leverage its core competencies in manufacturing and distribution and to diversify its end market exposure and presence.

From 2014 to 2016, the Company invested approximately $351 million to complete 14 acquisitions involving 19 companies, which directly complemented its core competencies and product lines. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K for a description of the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

In 2016, the Company invested approximately $139 million to complete seven acquisitions involving eight companies:

•

Parkland Plastics, Inc. ("Parkland") Parkland is a fully integrated designer and manufacturer of innovative polymer-based products including wall panels, lay-in ceiling panels, coated and rolled floors, protective moulding, and adhesives and accessories, used in a wide range of applications primarily in the RV, architectural and industrial markets. The net purchase price for Parkland was $25.2 million.


•	The Progressive Group ("Progressive") Progressive is a distributor and manufacturer's representative for major name brand electronics to small, mid-size and large retailers, distributors, and custom installers, primarily serving the auto and home electronics, retail, custom integration and commercial channels. The net purchase price for Progressive was $10.9 million.


•	Cana Holdings, Inc. ("Cana") Cana is a custom cabinetry manufacturer, primarily serving the MH industry and the residential, hospitality and institutional markets. The net purchase price for Cana was $16.5 million.


•	Mishawaka Sheet Metal, LLC ("MSM") MSM is a fabricator of a wide variety of aluminum and steel products primarily serving the RV and industrial markets. The net purchase price for MSM was $14.0 million.


•	Vacuplast, LLC d/b/a L.S. Manufacturing, Inc. ("LS Mfg.") LS Mfg. is a manufacturer of a wide variety of thermoformed plastic parts and components, primarily serving the RV industry as well as certain industrial markets. The net purchase price for LS Mfg. was $11.2 million.


•	BH Electronics, Inc. ("BHE") BHE is a major designer, engineer and manufacturer of custom thermoformed dash panel assemblies, center consoles and trim panels, complete electrical systems, and related components and parts, primarily for recreational boat manufacturers in the U.S. The net purchase price for BHE was $35.0 million.

•

Sigma Wire International, LLC ("Sigma") and KRA International, LLC ("KRA") (together, "Sigma/KRA") Sigma is a manufacturer of a wide range of PVC insulated wire and cable products primarily for the RV and marine markets. KRA, which operates primarily in the RV and industrial markets, is a manufacturer of wire harnesses and associated assemblies for RVs, commercial vehicles, lawn care equipment, marine products, the defense industry, and automotive aftermarket products. The combined net purchase price for Sigma/KRA was $26.1 million.

Competition

The RV and MH industries are highly competitive, both among manufacturers and the suppliers of RV and MH components. The barriers to entry for each industry are generally low and include compliance with industry standards, codes and safety requirements, and the initial capital investment required to establish manufacturing operations. In addition, the Company competes with manufacturers of manufactured homes with vertically integrated operations. Across the Company’s range of products and services, competition exists primarily on price, product features and innovation, quality and customer service. Several competitors compete with Patrick in each product line on a regional and local basis. However, in order for a competitor to compete with Patrick on a national basis, the Company believes that a substantial capital commitment and investment in personnel and facilities would be required. The industrial markets that it serves are also highly competitive.

Table of Contents

Operations

Capacity

Patrick has the ability to fill demand for certain products in excess of capacity at certain facilities by shifting production to other facilities. Capital expenditures for 2016 consisted of $15.4 million of investments to upgrade facilities, increase capacity, and provide more advanced manufacturing automation. Management regularly monitors capacity at its facilities and reallocates existing resources where needed to maintain production efficiencies throughout all of its operations.

Plant Expansions

The Company focused on facility and capacity expansions in 2016 to align with core OEM expansions. With this focus, the Company capitalized on commercial and industrial synergies in key regions to support profitable growth, grow its customer base, and expand its geographical product reach outside its core Midwest market by:


•	Opening a new solid surface countertop manufacturing facility in Southern California;


•	Opening two new facilities in the Pacific Northwest, in Oregon and Idaho, to provide laminated products and interior doors;


•	Opening a new countertop manufacturing facility in Mississippi; and


•	Increasing capacity and footprint in Pennsylvania to support growing industrial market opportunities in the Northeast.

In 2017, the Company plans to continue to focus on expansion and efficiency efforts with current plans to open a new softwoods operations in Texas and a fiberglass operation in California.

Branding

New product development is a key component of the Company’s efforts to grow its market share and revenue base, adapt to changing market conditions, and proactively address customer demand. The Company has expanded its product and service offerings with the integration of new and innovative product lines into its operations that bring additional value to customers and create additional scale advantages.

The Studio

In March 2016, the Company opened The Studio, its new Design/Innovation Center and Showroom located in Elkhart, Indiana. The Studio presents the latest design trends and products in the markets served by Patrick, and provides a creative environment for customers to design products and enhance their brand. The 45,000 square foot facility includes a 25,000 square foot showroom devoted to the display of products, capabilities and services offered by each of Patrick’s business units, in addition to offices and conference rooms. The Company’s specialized team of designers, engineers and graphic artists works with RV, MH and industrial customers to meet their creative design and product needs, including creating new styles and utilizing new colors, patterns, products, and wood types for panels and mouldings, cabinet doors, furniture, lighting and other products. Other services provided at The Studio include product development, 3D CAD illustration, 3D printing, photography and marketing.

Operating Brands

Through its operating brands, the Company provides customers with specific product knowledge, expertise and support that is tailored to their needs. The Company strives to be the supplier of choice for its customers by elevating the customer purchasing experience with expert product line managers, support staff and strategic partnerships for each operating brand, which help drive efficiency and maximize value for its customers.

Patrick has no material patents, licenses, franchises, or concessions and does not conduct significant research and development activities.

Marketing and Distribution

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had over 1,100 active customers. Its revenues from the RV market include sales to two major manufacturers of RVs that each account for over 10% of the Company's net sales, Forest River and Thor. Each of Forest River and Thor has multiple businesses and brands that operate independently under the parent company and therefore, purchase our products independently from one another. The Company’s sales to the various businesses of Forest River and Thor, on a combined basis, accounted for 60% and 61% of our consolidated net sales, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company generally maintains supplies of various commodity products in its warehouses to ensure that it has product on hand at all times for its distribution customers. The Company purchases a majority of its distribution segment products in railcar, container, or truckload quantities, which are warehoused prior to their sale to customers. Approximately 18% and 19% of the Company's distribution segment’s sales were from products shipped directly from the suppliers to Patrick customers in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Typically there is a one to two-week period between Patrick receiving a purchase order and the delivery of products to its warehouses or customers and, as a result, the Company has no significant backlog of orders. In periods of declining market conditions, customer order rates can decline, resulting in less efficient logistics planning and fulfillment and thus increasing delivery costs due to increased numbers of shipments with fewer products in each shipment.

Raw Materials

Patrick has arrangements with certain suppliers that specify exclusivity in certain geographic areas, pricing structures and rebate agreements among other terms. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased approximately 46% of its raw materials and distributed products from 20 different suppliers. The five largest suppliers accounted for approximately 22% of the Company's total purchases.

Raw materials are primarily commodity products, such as lauan, gypsum, particleboard and other lumber products, aluminum, resin, fiberglass and overlays, among others which are available from many suppliers. Our customers do not maintain long-term supply contracts, and therefore, the Company bears the risk of accurate advanced estimation of customer orders. Its sales in the short-term could be negatively impacted in the event any unforeseen negative circumstances were to affect its major suppliers. In addition, demand changes in certain market sectors can result in fluctuating costs of certain more commodity-oriented raw materials and other products that are utilized and distributed from quarter-to-quarter.

The Company continually explores alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from outside the United States ("U.S."). Alternate sources of supply are available for all of its material purchases.

Regulation and Environmental Quality

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations administered by federal, state, and local regulatory authorities including requirements relating to air, water and noise pollution. Additionally, these requirements regulate the Company's use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used or generated during specific manufacturing processes.

Select products are subject to various legally binding or voluntary standards. For example, the composite wood substrate materials that Patrick uses to produce products for its customers in the RV marketplace have been certified as to compliance

Table of Contents

with applicable emission standards developed by the California Air Resources Board ("CARB"). All suppliers and manufacturers of composite wood materials are required to comply with the current CARB regulations.

The Company is certified to sell Forestry Stewardship Council (“FSC”) materials to its customers at certain of its manufacturing branches. The FSC certification provides a link between responsible production and consumption of materials from the world’s forests and it assists the Company’s customers in making socially and environmentally responsible buying decisions on the products they purchase.

Upholstered products and mattresses provided by the Company for RVs must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding flammability.

The Company also produces and provides products for manufactured homes that must comply with performance and construction regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).

Seasonality

Manufacturing operations in the RV and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the climate is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits had generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers in the September/October timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. This has resulted in seasonal softening in the RV industry beginning in the third quarter and extending through October, resulting in a seasonal trend pattern in which the Company achieves its strongest sales and profit levels in the first half of the year. In addition, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different from prior years due to the impact of national regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components.

Employees

At December 31, 2016, we had 4,497 employees, 4,028 of which were engaged directly in production, warehousing, and delivery operations; 132 in sales; and 337 in office and administrative activities, which includes purchasing, inventory and production control, customer service, human resources, accounting, and information technology, among others. The Company believes its relations with its employees are good. The Company is not subject to any collective bargaining agreements with its employees.

ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

Economic and business conditions beyond Patrick's control, including cyclicality and seasonality in the industries it sells products, could lead to fluctuations in and negatively impact operating results.

The RV, MH and industrial markets in which we operate are subject to cycles of growth and contraction in consumer demand, and volatility in production levels, shipments, sales and operating results, due to external factors such as general economic conditions, consumer confidence, employment rates, financing availability, interest rates, inflation, fuel prices, and other economic conditions affecting consumer demand and discretionary spending. Periods of economic recession and downturns have adversely affected our business and operating results in the past, and have potential to adversely impact our future results. Consequently, the results for any prior period may not be indicative of results for any future period. In addition, fluctuation in demand could adversely affect our management of inventory, which could lead to an inability to meet customer needs or a charge for obsolete inventory.

Table of Contents

Sales in the RV and MH industries historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the climate is moderate. However, seasonal industry trends in the past several years have differed from prior years, primarily due to volatile economic conditions, fluctuations in RV dealer inventories, changing dealer show schedules, interest rates, access to financing, the cost of fuel, and increased demand from RV dealers. Consequently, future seasonal trends may differ from prior years. In addition, unusually severe weather conditions may impact the timing of industry-wide shipments from one period to another and lead to unanticipated fluctuations in our operating results.

If the financial condition of our customers and suppliers deteriorate, our business and operating results could suffer.

The markets we serve have been highly sensitive to changes in the economic environment. Weakening conditions in the economy, or the lack of available financing in the credit market, could cause the financial condition of our customers and suppliers to deteriorate, which could negatively affect our business through the loss of sales or the inability to meet our commitments. Many of our customers participate in highly competitive markets and their financial condition may deteriorate as a result. In addition, a decline in the financial condition of our customers could hinder our ability to collect amounts owed by customers.

Although we have a large number of customers, our sales are significantly concentrated with two customers, the loss of either of which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Two customers in the RV market accounted for a combined 60% of our consolidated net sales in 2016. The loss of either of these customers could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition. We do not have long-term agreements with our customers and cannot predict that we will maintain our current relationships with these customers or that we will continue to supply them at current levels.

Changes in consumer preferences relating to our products could adversely impact our sales levels and our operating results.

Changes in consumer preferences, or our inability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences for RVs or manufactured homes, or for the products we make could reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

A significant percentage of the Company’s sales are concentrated in the RV industry, and declines in the level of RV unit shipments or reductions in industry growth could reduce demand for our products and adversely impact our operating results and financial condition.

In both 2015 and 2016, the Company's net sales to the RV industry were approximately 75% of consolidated net sales. While the Company measures its RV Segment sales against industry-wide wholesale shipment statistics, the underlying health of the RV industry is determined by retail demand. Retail sales of RVs historically have been closely tied to general economic conditions, as well as consumer confidence which was above historical averages in 2016. Future declines in RV unit shipment levels or reductions in industry growth could significantly reduce the Company’s revenue from the RV industry and have a material adverse impact on its operating results in 2017 and other future periods.

The manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries are highly competitive and some of our competitors may have greater resources than we do.

We operate in a highly competitive business environment and our sales could be negatively impacted by our inability to maintain or increase prices, changes in geographic or product mix, or the decision of our customers to purchase our competitors’ products or to produce in-house products that we currently produce. We compete not only with other suppliers to the RV and MH producers, but also with suppliers to traditional site-built homebuilders and suppliers of cabinetry and countertops. Sales could also be affected by pricing, purchasing, financing, advertising, operational, promotional, or other decisions made by purchasers of our products. Additionally, we cannot control the decisions made by suppliers of our distributed and manufactured products and therefore, our ability to maintain our distribution arrangements may be adversely impacted.

The greater financial resources or the lower level of debt or financial leverage of certain of our competitors may enable them to commit larger amounts of capital in response to changing market conditions. Competitors may develop innovative new products that could put the Company at a competitive disadvantage. If we are unable to compete successfully against other manufacturers and suppliers to the RV and MH industries, we could lose customers and sales could decline, or we may not be

Table of Contents

able to improve or maintain profit margins on sales to customers or be able to continue to compete successfully in our core markets.

Conditions in the credit market could limit the ability of consumers to obtain retail financing for RVs and manufactured homes, resulting in reduced demand for our products.

Restrictions on the availability of consumer financing for RVs and manufactured homes and increases in the costs of such financing have in the past limited, and could again limit, the ability of consumers to purchase RVs and manufactured homes, which would result in reduced production of RVs and manufactured homes by our customers, and therefore reduce demand for our products.

Loans used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes usually have shorter terms and higher interest rates, and are more difficult to obtain, than mortgages for site-built homes. Historically, lenders required a higher down payment, higher credit scores and other criteria for these loans. Current lending criteria are more stringent than historical criteria, and many potential buyers of manufactured homes may not qualify.

The availability, cost, and terms of these manufactured housing loans are also dependent on economic conditions, lending practices of financial institutions, government policies, and other factors, all of which are beyond our control. Reductions in the availability of financing for manufactured homes and increases in the costs of this financing have limited, and could continue to limit, the ability of consumers to purchase manufactured homes, resulting in reduced production of manufactured homes by our customers, and therefore reduced demand for our products. In addition, certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, which regulate financial transactions, could make certain types of loans more difficult to obtain, including those historically used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes.

The manufactured housing industry has experienced a significant long-term decline in shipments, which has led to reduced demand for our products.

Our MH Segment, which accounted for 13% of consolidated net sales for 2016, operates in an industry which has experienced a significant decline in production of new homes compared to the last peak production level in 1998. The downturn was caused, in part, by limited availability and high cost of financing for manufactured homes, and was exacerbated by economic and political conditions during the financial crisis. Although industry-wide wholesale production of manufactured homes has improved somewhat in recent years, a worsening of conditions in the MH market could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

Fuel shortages or high prices for fuel could have an adverse impact on our operations.

The products produced by the RV industry typically require gasoline or diesel fuel for their operation, or the use of a vehicle requiring gasoline or diesel fuel for their operation. There can be no assurance that the supply of gasoline and diesel fuel will continue uninterrupted or that the price or tax on fuel will not significantly increase in the future. Shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel, and substantial increases in the price of fuel, have had a material adverse effect on our business and the RV industry as a whole in the past and could have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.

We are dependent on third-party suppliers and manufacturers.

Generally, our raw materials, supplies and energy requirements are obtained from various sources and in the quantities desired. While alternative sources are available, our business is subject to the risk of price increases and periodic delays in delivery. Fluctuations in prices may be driven by the supply/demand relationship for that commodity, governmental regulation, tariffs or other cross-border taxes, economic conditions in other countries, religious holidays, natural disasters, and other events. In addition, if any of our suppliers seek bankruptcy relief or otherwise cannot continue their business as anticipated, the availability or price of these requirements could be adversely affected.

If we cannot effectively manage the challenges and risks associated with doing business internationally, our revenues and profitability may suffer.

We purchase a significant portion of our raw materials and other supplies from suppliers located in Indonesia, China and Malaysia. As a result, our ability to obtain raw materials and supplies on favorable terms and in a timely fashion are subject to a variety of risks, including fluctuations in foreign currencies, changes in the economic strength of the foreign countries in which we do business, difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and intellectual property rights, compliance burdens associated with a wide variety of international and United States import laws, and social, political, and economic instability. Our business with our international suppliers could be adversely affected by restrictions on travel to and from any of the countries in which

Table of Contents

we do business due to a health epidemic or outbreak or other event. Additional risks associated with our foreign business include restrictive trade policies, imposition of duties, taxes, or government royalties by foreign governments, and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local anti-bribery laws. Recently, the new White House administration, certain members of Congress and key policy makers have suggested the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. In addition, the new administration has suggested the adoption of other laws to implement tariffs, border taxes, or other measures that could impact the level of trade between the U.S., Mexico and China. Any such proposals or measures could negatively impact our relations with our international suppliers and the volume of shipments to the U.S. from these countries, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Any increased cost and limited availability of certain raw materials may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Prices of certain materials, including gypsum, lauan, particleboard, MDF, aluminum and other commodity products, can be volatile and change dramatically with changes in supply and demand. Certain products are purchased from overseas and their availability is dependent upon weather conditions, seasonal and religious holidays, political unrest, economic conditions overseas, natural disasters, vessel shipping schedules and port availability. Further, our commodity product suppliers sometimes operate at or near capacity, resulting in some products having the potential of being put on allocation. We generally have been able to maintain adequate supplies of materials and to pass higher material costs on to our customers in the form of surcharges and base price increases where needed. However, it is not certain future price increases can be passed on to our customers without affecting demand or that limited availability of materials will not impact our production capabilities. Our sales levels and operating results could be negatively impacted by changes in any of these items.

Increases in demand for our products could make it more difficult for us to obtain additional skilled labor, which may adversely impact our operating efficiencies.

In certain geographic regions in which we have manufacturing facilities, we are experiencing shortages of qualified employees, which negatively impacted our cost of goods sold in 2016. Labor shortages and continued competition for qualified employees may increase, especially during improving economic times, the cost of our labor and create employee retention and recruitment challenges, as employees with knowledge and experience have the ability to change employers more easily.

If demand continues to increase, we may not be able to increase production to timely satisfy demand, and may initially incur higher labor and production costs, which could adversely impact our financial condition and operating results.

We may incur significant charges or be adversely impacted by the consolidation and/or closure of all or part of a manufacturing or distribution facility.

We periodically assess the cost structure of our operating facilities to distribute and/or manufacture products in the most efficient manner. We may make capital investments to move, discontinue manufacturing and/or distribution capabilities, or products and product lines, sell or close all or part of additional manufacturing and/or distribution facilities in the future. These changes could result in significant future charges or disruptions in our operations, and we may not achieve the expected benefits from these changes, which could result in an adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows, and financial condition.

We are subject to governmental and environmental regulations, and failure in our compliance efforts, changes to such laws and regulations or events beyond our control could result in damages, expenses or liabilities that individually, or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Some of our manufacturing processes involve the use, handling, storage and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Accordingly, we are subject to various governmental and environmental laws and regulations regarding these substances, as well as environmental requirements relating to air, water and noise pollution. The implementation of new laws and regulations or amendments to existing regulations could significantly increase the cost of the Company’s products. We cannot presently determine what, if any, legislation may be adopted by federal, state or local governing bodies, or the effect any such legislation may have on our customers or us. Failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines or potential civil or criminal liability. Both scenarios could negatively impact our results of operations or financial condition.

Table of Contents

The inability to attract and retain qualified executive officers and key personnel may adversely affect our operations.

While we include succession planning as part of our ongoing talent development and management process to help ensure the continuity of our business model, the loss of any of our executive officers or other key personnel could reduce our ability to manage our business and strategic plan in the short-term and could cause our sales and operating results to decline. In addition, our future success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain executive management, key employees, and other qualified personnel.

Our ability to integrate acquired businesses may adversely affect operations.

As part of our business and strategic plan, we look for strategic acquisitions to provide shareholder value. Any acquisition will require the effective integration of an existing business and its administrative, financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, and other functions to maximize synergies. Acquired businesses involve a number of risks that may affect our financial performance, including increased leverage, diversion of management resources, assumption of liabilities of the acquired businesses, and possible corporate culture conflicts. If we are unable to successfully integrate these acquisitions, we may not realize the benefits identified in our due diligence process, and our financial results may be negatively impacted. Additionally, significant unexpected liabilities could arise from these acquisitions.

Our level of indebtedness could limit our operational flexibility and harm our financial condition and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2016, we had $273.2 million of total long-term debt outstanding under our $360.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2015 Credit Facility”) that was established pursuant to our current credit agreement, as amended (the “2015 Credit Agreement”).

Our level of indebtedness could have adverse consequences on our future operations, including making it more difficult for us to meet our payments on outstanding debt, and we may not be able to find alternative financing sources to replace our indebtedness in such an event. Our level of indebtedness could: (i) reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limit our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes; (ii) limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; (iii) place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged; and (iv) create concerns about our credit quality which could result in the loss of supplier contracts and/or customers. Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance which may be affected by factors beyond our control.

Our 2015 Credit Agreement contains various financial performance and other covenants. If we do not remain in compliance with these covenants, our 2015 Credit Agreement could be terminated and the amounts outstanding thereunder could become immediately due and payable.

We have debt outstanding that contains financial and non-financial covenants with which we must comply that place restrictions on us. There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the financial covenants under our 2015 Credit Agreement. These covenants require that we comply with a maximum level of a consolidated total leverage ratio and a minimum level of a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our 2015 Credit Agreement, the lenders could cause our debt to become due and payable prior to maturity or it could result in our having to refinance the indebtedness under unfavorable terms. If our debt were accelerated, our assets might not be sufficient to repay our debt in full and there can be no assurance that we would be able to refinance any or all of this indebtedness.

Due to industry conditions and our operating results, there have been times in the past when we have had limited access to sources of capital. If we are unable to locate suitable sources of capital when needed, we may be unable to maintain or expand our business.

We depend on our cash balances, our cash flows from operations, and our 2015 Credit Facility to finance our operating requirements, capital expenditures and other needs. If a significant economic recession occurred, such as the recession that impacted the economy in 2007-2010, production of RVs and manufactured homes could decline, resulting in reduced demand for our products. A decline in our operating results could negatively impact our liquidity. If our cash balances, cash flows from operations, and availability under our 2015 Credit Facility are insufficient to finance our operations and alternative capital is not available, we may not be able to expand our business and make acquisitions, or we may need to curtail or limit our existing operations.

Table of Contents

We have letters of credit representing collateral for our casualty insurance programs and for general operating purposes that have been issued under our 2015 Credit Agreement. The inability to retain our current letters of credit, to obtain alternative letter of credit sources, or to retain our 2015 Credit Agreement to support these programs could require us to post cash collateral, reduce the amount of cash available for our operations, or cause us to curtail or limit existing operations.

If we are unable to manage our inventory, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

Our customers generally do not maintain long-term supply contracts and, therefore, we must bear the risk of advanced estimation of customer orders. We maintain an inventory to support these customers’ needs. Changes in demand, market conditions and/or product specifications could result in material obsolescence and a lack of alternative markets for certain of our customer specific products and could negatively impact operating results.

We could incur charges for impairment of assets, including goodwill and other long-lived assets, due to potential declines in the fair value of those assets or a decline in expected profitability of the Company or individual reporting units of the Company.

Approximately 67% of our total assets as of December 31, 2016 was comprised of goodwill, other intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment. Under generally accepted accounting principles, each of these assets is subject to periodic review and testing to determine whether the asset is recoverable or realizable. The events or changes that could require us to test our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment include changes in our estimated future cash flows, changes in rates of growth in our industry or in any of our reporting units, and decreases in our stock price and market capitalization.

In the future, if sales demand or market conditions change from those projected by management, asset write-downs may be required. Significant impairment charges, although not always affecting current cash flow, could have a material effect on our operating results and financial position.

A variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, could influence fluctuations in the market price for our common stock.

The stock market, in general, experiences volatility that has often been unrelated to the underlying operating performance of companies. If this volatility continues, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly, independent of our actual operating performance. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:


•	variations in our and our competitors’ operating results;


•	high concentration of shares held by institutional investors;


•	announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;


•	announcements by us or our competitors of technological improvements or new products;


•	the gain or loss of significant customers;


•	additions or departures of key personnel;


•	events affecting other companies that the market deems comparable to us;


•	changes in investor perception of our business and/or management;


•	changes in global economic conditions or general market conditions in the industries in which we operate;


•	sales of our common stock held by certain equity investors or members of management;


•	issuance of our common stock or debt securities by the Company; and


•	the occurrence of other events that are described in these risk factors.

If our information technology systems fail to perform adequately, our operations could be disrupted and could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operation

We are increasingly dependent on digital technology, including information systems and related infrastructure, to process and record financial and operating data, manage inventory and communicate with our employees and business partners. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage our business data, inventory, supply chain, order entry and fulfillment, manufacturing, distribution, warranty administration, invoicing, collection of payments, and other business processes. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, telecommunications or internet failures, computer viruses and malicious attacks, security breaches and catastrophic events. If our systems are damaged or fail to function properly or reliably, we may incur substantial repair or replacement costs, experience data loss or theft and

Table of Contents

impediments to our ability to manage our business, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Any such events could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or penalties under privacy laws, disruption in operations, and damage to our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.

In addition, we may be required to make significant technology investments to maintain and update our existing computer systems. Implementing significant system changes increases the risk of computer system disruption. The potential problems and interruptions associated with implementing technology initiatives could disrupt or reduce our operational efficiency.

A cyber incident or data breach could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption, and/or financial loss.

Our technologies, systems, networks, and those of our business partners have in the past and may in the future become the target of cyber-attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss, or destruction of proprietary and other information, or other disruption of our business operations. A cyber-attack could include gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption or result in denial of service on websites. We have programs in place to detect, contain and respond to data security incidents. However, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, trickery, or other forms of deceiving our team members, contractors, vendors, and temporary staff. In addition, hardware, software, or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Any cyber-attack on our business could materially harm our business and operating results. On February 3, 2017, certain personally identifiable employee information for all of the Company's current and former employees for calendar year 2016 was inadvertently disclosed to an unauthorized individual or individuals as the result of a targeted email phishing message. The Company currently carries insurance to cover its exposure to this type of incident. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. If we or our suppliers experience additional significant data security breaches or fail to detect and appropriately respond to significant data security breaches, we could be exposed to costly government enforcement actions and private litigation and our business and operating results could suffer.

We are required to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. Such report contains, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. Each year we must prepare or update the process documentation and perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. During this process, if our management identifies one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that such internal control is effective. Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. We and our independent auditors may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need further attention and improvement, particularly with respect to any businesses that we decide to acquire in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Investor perception that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely, consistent basis may adversely affect our stock price. Failure to comply with Section 404 could also potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, NASDAQ, or other regulatory authorities.

Certain provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws may delay, defer or prevent a change in control that our shareholders each might consider to be in their best interest.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws contain provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions may delay, defer or prevent a change in control that our shareholders might consider to be in their best interest.

Conditions within the insurance markets could impact our ability to negotiate favorable terms and conditions for various liability coverage and could potentially result in uninsured losses.

We generally negotiate our insurance contracts annually for property, casualty, workers compensation, general liability, health insurance, and directors and officers liability coverage. Due to conditions within these insurance markets and other factors beyond our control, future coverage limits, terms and conditions and the amount of the related premiums could have a negative impact on our operating results. While we continually measure the risk/reward of policy limits and coverage, the lack of coverage in certain circumstances could result in potential uninsured losses.

Overview of Markets and Related Industry Performance

Fiscal 2016 reflected a continuation of solid growth in the RV market with wholesale demand of both towable and motorized units growing by 15%. The MH market also experienced strong year-over-year wholesale industry growth of 15%. The Company estimates that approximately 50% of the Company's industrial revenue base was tied to residential housing where residential housing starts were up 6% over 2015. Overall, the Company has continued to capture market share through its strategic acquisitions, line extensions, and the introduction of new and innovative products, which resulted in its 2016 sales levels increasing beyond the general industry results.

RV Industry

The RV industry, which is the Company's primary market and comprised 75% of the Company’s 2016 sales, continued to strengthen as evidenced by higher original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") production levels and wholesale unit shipments versus the prior year. According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), as noted in its December 2016 Market Report, wholesale shipment levels reached 430,691 units in 2016, representing an increase of approximately 15% versus 2015 and marking the seventh consecutive annual increase in RV wholesale unit shipments.

In the towables sector, wholesale shipments of travel trailers, which represent approximately 75% of the towable market, increased 18% over 2015, as noted in the RVIA's December 2016 Market Report. In addition, shipment levels of the larger, more expensive units, particularly in the fifth wheel sector, which represents approximately 21% of the towable market, grew 7% versus 2015. In the motorized market, Class A wholesale shipments, representing 41% of all motorized units shipped and the most expensive of the class on average, grew 3% year-over-year. Class Bs and Cs, which represent smaller, less expensive motorized units and approximately 59% of all motorized units shipped, increased 26% versus 2015.

Retail trends were generally strong in 2016 as combined domestic and Canadian retail unit sales for 2016 were up 10% year-over-year. Domestic RV retail unit sales, which represented 90% of overall retail sales for 2016, were up 13% versus 2015, while Canadian retail sales continued to be depressed as evidenced by a decline in retail shipments of approximately 12% for the same period, as noted per Statistical Surveys, Inc. ("SSI") for 2016. As it relates to the correlation between retail inventories and overall production levels, industry reports and dealer surveys continue to indicate that RV dealer inventory levels are in line with retail demand.

With wholesale unit shipments to the RV industry in 2016 surpassing all prior production peaks, the Company continues to believe the future looks promising for the RV industry based on a number of factors including:


•	Positive industry demographic trends with younger buyers entering the market and an increasing number of baby boomers reaching retirement age;


•	Readily available financing;


•	New and innovative products coming to market;


•	Increased strength in the overall economic environment; and


•	Value of the RV lifestyle related to spending quality time with families.

The Company believes continued growth in 2017 in industry-wide retail sales and the related production levels of RVs will be dependent on the overall perception of the economy, consumer confidence levels, the domestic political and governmental environment, and equity securities market trends. On a macroeconomic level, as consumer confidence has generally trended higher over the last six to seven years, there has been a consistent trend of year-over-year increases in RV shipments for the same time period.

MH Industry

Sales growth in the MH industry, which represented approximately 13% of the Company’s 2016 sales, experienced strong year-over-year unit growth of approximately 15% according to the Manufactured Housing Institute (the "MHI"). There continues to be pockets of strength, particularly in the southeast region of the country, which represents approximately 36% of the MH market and was up approximately 18% over 2015. The southwest region, which comprises another 29% of the market, increased approximately 11% year-over-year.

The Company believes there is pent up demand being created and significant upside potential for this market in the long-term based on current demographic trends including:

Table of Contents


•	Multi-family housing capacity;


•	New home pricing;


•	Improving credit and financing conditions; and


•	Improved consumer savings levels.

The Company believes it is well positioned to capitalize on the upside potential of the MH market, especially given the combination of its nationwide geographic footprint, available capacity in its current MH concentrated locations, and its current content per unit levels.

Factors that may favorably impact production levels further in this industry include quality credit standards in the residential housing market, job growth, favorable changes in financing regulations, higher interest rates on traditional residential housing loans, and improved conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.

Industrial Market

The industrial market is comprised primarily of the kitchen cabinet, retail and commercial fixture market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors. This market is primarily impacted by macroeconomic conditions and more specifically, conditions in the residential housing market. Sales to the industrial markets represented 12% of the Company's 2016 sales, and grew 44% over 2015 sales levels reflecting the expansion into new commercial markets, the introduction of new product lines related to acquisitions and new product development, and the penetration of adjacent markets and new geographic regions. The Company estimates approximately 50% its industrial revenue base was directly tied to the residential housing market in 2016 with the remaining half tied mainly to the retail fixture, office and commercial furnishings markets. The Company believes there is a direct correlation between the demand for its products in the residential housing market and new residential housing construction and remodeling activities. Sales to the industrial market generally lag new residential housing starts by six to nine months. New housing starts in 2016 increased approximately 6% compared to 2015 (as reported in a U.S. Department of Commerce news release dated February 16, 2017). In addition, the Company's sales in 2016 benefited from continued market share gains, particularly in the commercial and institutional fixtures markets.

The Company believes that projected continued low interest rates, overall expected economic improvement, and pent up demand are some of the drivers that will continue to positively impact the housing industry for the next several years.

In order to offset some of the impacts of the weakness in the residential housing market in recent years, the Company has focused on diversification efforts, strategic acquisitions, and increased penetration into the commercial and multi-family housing markets with the addition of new sales territories and personnel. Additionally, the Company has targeted certain sales efforts towards market segments that are less directly tied to new single and multi-family home construction, including the marine, retail fixture, office, medical, and institutional furnishings, and countertop markets. As a result, the Company has seen a shift in its product mix, which has had a positive impact on revenue from the industrial markets.

Acquisitions

In 2016, the Company completed seven acquisitions involving eight companies, that are listed below, all of which provided the opportunity to increase its product offerings, market share and per unit content in the three primary markets it serves.


•	Parkland Plastics, Inc. ("Parkland") is a designer, manufacturer and distributor of polymer-based products primarily serving the RV, architectural and industrial markets.


•	The Progressive Group ("Progressive") is a distributor and manufacturer's representative for major name-brand electronics, primarily serving the auto and home electronics, retail, and custom integration and commercial channels.


•	Cana Holdings, Inc. ("Cana") is a custom cabinetry manufacturer primarily serving the MH industry and the residential, hospitality and institutional markets.


•	Mishawaka Sheet Metal, LLC ("MSM") is a full service distributor and fabricator of a wide variety of aluminum and steel products serving both the RV and industrial markets.


•	Vacuplast, LLC d/b/a L.S. Manufacturing, Inc. ("LS Mfg.") is a manufacturer of a wide variety of thermoformed plastic parts and components primarily for the RV market and certain industrial markets.


•	BH Electronics, Inc. ("BHE") is a major designer, engineer and manufacturer of custom thermoformed dash panel assemblies, center consoles and trim panels, complete electrical systems, and related components and parts primarily for recreational boat manufacturers in the U.S.

Summary of 2016 Financial Results

Below is a summary of the Company's 2016 financial results. Additional detailed discussions are provided elsewhere in this MD&A and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


•	Net sales increased $301.6 million or 33% in 2016 to $1.2 billion, compared to $920.3 million in 2015 primarily reflecting: (i) increased RV, MH, and industrial market penetration through acquisitions and market share gains; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries; and (iii) improved residential housing starts.

•

Gross profit increased $50.2 million to $202.5 million, or 16.6% of net sales in 2016, compared with gross profit of $152.3 million or 16.5% of net sales in 2015. Gross profit was positively impacted by higher sales levels relative to overall fixed overhead costs, new higher margin product lines, and the contribution of acquisitions. These positive contributions were partially offset in 2016 by certain capacity strains and labor inefficiencies, particularly in the Company's Midwest facilities, and to a lesser extent, the impact of higher health insurance costs.


•	Operating income increased $20.9 million to $90.8 million in 2016, compared to $69.9 million in 2015. Operating income in 2016 was positively impacted by the factors described above.


•	Net income was $55.6 million or $3.64 per diluted share in 2016, compared to $42.2 million or $2.72 per diluted share for 2015.

2016 Initiatives and Challenges

In fiscal year 2016, the Company's primary focus was on gaining market share through the introduction of new products to the marketplace and the execution of strategic acquisitions and expansions, maximizing operating efficiencies, managing and developing the talent pool, and further embedding a ‘Customer 1st’ performance oriented culture.

Specific execution items in 2016 include:


•	Investing approximately $139 million in seven acquisitions involving eight companies. These acquisitions had estimated full year 2016 revenues in the aggregate of approximately $167 million, of which approximately $92 million was included in 2016 operating results from the respective dates of acquisition.


•	Reinvesting $15.4 million through capital expenditures, which included spending related to facility expansions and upgrades, and strategically replacing and upgrading production equipment to improve efficiencies and increase capacity.


•	Increasing RV content per unit to $2,126 in 2016 from $1,845 in 2015.


•	Increasing MH content per unit to $1,966 in 2016 from $1,825 in 2015.

Fiscal Year 2017 Outlook

The three primary markets Patrick serves experienced steady growth in 2016, which the Company expects to continue into 2017. While the ongoing trend involving a shift in buying patterns towards smaller and more moderately priced towables and motorized units continues to moderately impact the Company's overall dollar content per unit growth in the short-term, the Company views this shift as a positive indicator of a broadening consumer base and an opportunity for long-term industry growth. In addition, the Company anticipates a further increase in production levels in the MH industry in 2017, reflecting improvement in the overall economy and consistent with the improvement in single-family residential housing starts. The National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”) (per their housing and interest rate forecast as of February 3, 2017) is currently forecasting an approximate 6% year-over-year increase in new housing starts in 2017 compared to 2016.

We will continue to review our operations on a regular basis, balance appropriate risks and opportunities, and maximize efficiencies to support the Company’s long-term strategic growth goals. Our team remains focused on strategic acquisitions in our existing, similar or complementary businesses, expanding operations in targeted regional territories, capturing market share and increasing our per unit content, keeping costs aligned with revenue, maximizing operating efficiencies, talent management, and the execution of our organizational strategic agenda.

In conjunction with our organizational strategic agenda, we will continue to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage our operating platform, and we will continue to work to strengthen and broaden customer relationships and meet customer demands with the highest quality service and the goal of continually exceeding our customers’ expectations. The current capital plan for full year 2017 includes expenditures of approximately $16.0 million related primarily to facility expansion costs outside of our core Midwest market, strategic replacement and upgrading of production equipment to improve efficiencies and increase capacity, and other strategic capital and maintenance improvements. We will continue to assess our capital expenditure needs given market demands and make adjustments where necessary to address capacity constraints within the Company's operations.

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to 2015

Net Sales. Net sales in 2016 increased $301.6 million or 33%, to $1.2 billion from $920.3 million in 2015. The increase was attributable to a 32% increase in the Company’s revenues from the RV industry, a 26% increase in revenues from the MH industry, and a 44% increase in revenues from the industrial markets. The revenue increase largely reflected the revenue contribution of the 2016 acquisitions and the incremental revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2015. In 2016 and 2015, revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in each of those periods was $92.3 million and $101.1 million, respectively. The sales increase in 2016 is also attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries; and (iii) improved residential housing starts in the overall market.

Table of Contents

Partially offsetting revenue growth in 2016, was the continued mix shift towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced RV units, which the RV industry started to experience in the second quarter of 2015, particularly related to travel trailers in the towable sector of the industry, which negatively impacted content per unit growth. The Company’s RV content per unit for 2016 increased 15% to $2,126 from $1,845 in 2015. The MH content per unit for the full year 2016 increased 8% to $1,966 from $1,825 in 2015. Organic growth in the Company's RV content per unit began to improve in the third quarter of 2016 with the anniversary of the mix shift noted above, as well as strong growth in shipments of fifth wheels which have higher per unit content.

Wholesale unit shipments in the RV industry, which represented approximately 75% of the Company’s sales in 2016, increased approximately 15% compared to 2015. Wholesale unit shipments to the MH industry, which represented 13% of the Company’s 2016 sales, increased approximately 15% compared to 2015. The industrial market sector accounted for approximately 12% of the Company’s sales in 2016. The Company estimates that approximately 50% of its industrial revenue base is directly tied to the residential housing market, which experienced a 6% increase in new housing starts, as reported in a U.S. Department of Commerce news release dated February 16, 2017.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $251.4 million or 33%, to $1.0 billion in 2016 from $768.1 million in 2015. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased slightly during 2016 to 83.4% from 83.5% in 2015.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was positively impacted during 2016 by: (i) increased revenue relative to overall fixed overhead costs; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2016 and 2015 and the addition of new higher margin product lines; (iii) workflow changes designed to automate certain processes, improve efficiencies, and expand capacity; and (iv) the realization of operating synergies. Offsetting these positive factors was the impact of unseasonably strong RV wholesale shipments in excess of expected seasonal demand patterns in the second half of 2016, the operational complexities related to the model year changeovers which generated certain internal capacity constraints and labor inefficiencies due to overtime and employee turnover, particularly in Patrick's Midwest facilities, and to a lesser extent, higher health insurance costs.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $50.2 million or 33%, to $202.5 million in 2016 from $152.3 million in 2015. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased slightly to 16.6% in 2016 from 16.5% in 2015. The improvement in gross profit dollars and as a percentage of net sales in 2016 compared to 2015 reflected the positive impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”, including the positive contribution to gross profit of acquisition-related revenue growth as noted above.

Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of the Company's RV, MH, and industrial businesses include the costs of commodities used to manufacture products and the competitive environment that can cause gross margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $9.0 million or 33%, to $36.1 million in 2016 from $27.1 million in 2015. The expense increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 3.0% in 2016 and 2.9% in 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $15.7 million or 34%, to $62.2 million in 2016 from $46.5 million in 2015. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.1% in 2016 and 5.0% in 2015. The net increase in SG&A expenses in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily reflected the impact of additional headcount and administrative expenses associated with recent acquisitions and increased stock-based and incentive compensation expense designed to attract and retain key employees.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $4.6 million in 2016 compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in 2015 and in 2016. In the aggregate, in conjunction with the 2015 and 2016 acquisitions, the Company recognized $103.5 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 10 years.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $20.9 million or 30% to $90.8 million in 2016 from $69.9 million in 2015. Operating income in 2016 and 2015 included $10.3 million and $11.8 million, respectively, related to the acquisitions completed in each such year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased from 7.6% in 2015 to 7.4% in 2016. The change in operating income and operating margin is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $2.9 million to $7.2 million in 2016 from $4.3 million in 2015 reflecting increased borrowings primarily to fund acquisitions and increased working capital needs in 2016.

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income taxes at a full year blended rate of 33.6% for 2016 and 35.6% for 2015. The reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the reclassification of $1.3 million of excess tax benefits related to the exercise or vesting of share-based payment awards in the first nine months of 2016, that were previously recorded in additional paid-in capital upon realization, as a reduction to income tax expense. The reclassification resulted from the Company's adoption of a new accounting standard as described in the "Stock Compensation" section of Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's combined effective income tax rate from period to period and for the full year 2017 could further fluctuate due to: (i) refinements in federal and state income tax estimates, which are impacted by the availability of tax credits; (ii) permanent differences impacting the effective tax rate; (iii) shifts in apportionment factors among states as a result of recent acquisition activity and other factors; and (iv) the timing of the recognition of excess tax benefits related to the vesting of share-based payments awards as previously discussed.

In 2016 and 2015, the Company realized approximately $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of additional taxable deductions related to excess benefits on share-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014. In 2016, these tax benefits were recorded as a reduction to income tax expense upon realization in relation to the adoption of the share-based payment awards accounting standard. In 2015, such tax benefits were recorded to additional paid-in capital upon realization as required under the previous issued accounting standard.

From a tax perspective, the Company had various state net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $0.7 million at December 31, 2015, of which approximately $0.3 million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2016. The state NOLs were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax provision for 2016 and 2015. In 2016 and 2015, the Company made quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual 2016 and 2015 federal and state income tax liability.

Net Income. Net income for 2016 was $55.6 million or $3.64 per diluted share compared to $42.2 million or $2.72 per diluted share for 2015. The changes in net income for 2016 reflected the impact of the items previously discussed, while the change in net income per diluted share also reflects a reduction in diluted shares outstanding in 2016 compared to 2015 as a result of the Company’s share repurchase program.

Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to 2014

Net Sales. Net sales in 2015 increased $184.6 million or 25%, to $920.3 million from $735.7 million in 2014. The increase was attributable to a 26% increase in the Company’s revenues from the RV industry, an 18% increase in revenues from the MH industry, and a 27% increase in revenues from the industrial markets. Approximately $176.9 million of the revenue increase reflected the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2015 and the incremental revenue contributions of the 2014 acquisitions.

The sales increase in 2015 is also primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) improved office and institutional furnishings and retail and commercial fixtures sales in the industrial market; (iii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries; and (iv) improved residential housing starts. Our sales to the industrial market sector, which is primarily tied to the residential housing and commercial and retail fixture markets, generally lag new residential housing starts by approximately six to nine months.

Partially offsetting this revenue growth in 2015 was the mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units in both the towables and motorized sectors of the industry, which negatively impacted content per unit growth, and price declines in certain more commodity-oriented raw materials passed on to customers that we utilize in our manufacturing processes. The Company’s RV content per unit for 2015 increased 20% to $1,845 from $1,536 in 2014. The MH content per unit for the full year 2015 increased 8% to $1,825 from $1,692 in 2014.

The RV industry, which represented approximately 75% of the Company’s sales in 2015, saw wholesale unit shipments increase by approximately 5% compared to 2014. The MH industry, which represented 14% of the Company’s 2015 sales, experienced a 10% increase in wholesale unit shipments compared to 2014. The industrial market sector accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s sales in 2015. We estimate that approximately 50% of our industrial revenue base was directly tied to the residential housing market, which experienced an increase in new housing starts of approximately 11% in 2015 compared to 2014 (as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce).

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $150.9 million or 24%, to $768.1 million in 2015 from $617.2 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased during 2015 to 83.5% from 83.9% in 2014.

Table of Contents

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was positively impacted during 2015 by: (i) increased revenues relative to our overall fixed overhead costs; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2015 and 2014 and the addition of new higher margin product lines; and (iii) ongoing process changes that primarily improved material yields and resulted in the realization of operating synergies.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $33.8 million or 29%, to $152.3 million in 2015 from $118.5 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 16.5% in 2015 from 16.1% in 2014. The improvement in gross profit dollars and as a percentage of net sales in 2015 compared to 2014 reflected the positive impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”, including the positive contribution to gross profit of acquisition-related revenue growth as noted above.

Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of our RV, MH, and industrial businesses included the costs of commodities used to manufacture our products and the competitive environment that can cause gross margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $0.9 million or 4%, to $27.1 million in 2015 from $26.2 million in 2014. The expense increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes.

As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 2.9% in 2015 and 3.6% in 2014. The decrease as a percentage of net sales primarily reflected: (i) the impact of market share gains related to increased direct ship business in our Distribution segment; (ii) a reduction in fuel costs; (iii) the impact of acquisitions completed in 2014 and 2015 with lower delivery expenses as a percentage of net sales when compared to the consolidated percentage; and (iv) more efficient utilization per delivery truckload.

SG&A Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $10.1 million or 28%, to $46.5 million in 2015 from $36.4 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.0% in 2015 and 4.9% in 2014. The net increase in SG&A expenses in 2015 compared to 2014 primarily reflected the impact of additional headcount and administrative expenses associated with recent acquisitions and increased stock-based and incentive compensation expense designed to attract and retain key employees.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $4.3 million in 2015 compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in 2014 and in 2015. In the aggregate, in conjunction with the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions, the Company recognized $73.1 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 10 years.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $18.4 million or 36% to $69.9 million in 2015 from $51.5 million in 2014. Operating income in 2015 and 2014 included $11.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, related to the acquisitions completed in each such year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased from 7.0% in 2014 to 7.6% in 2015. The change in operating income and operating margin was primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $1.9 million to $4.3 million in 2015 from $2.4 million in 2014 reflecting increased borrowings primarily to fund acquisitions and increased working capital needs in 2015.

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income taxes at a full year blended rate of 35.6% for 2015 and 37.5% for 2014. The reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to R&D tax credits of approximately $1.0 million that were realized in 2015 with no comparable amount in 2014. In 2015 and 2014, the Company realized approximately $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of additional taxable deductions related to excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013. These tax benefits were recorded to shareholders’ equity upon realization in 2015 and 2014.

From a tax perspective, the Company had various state net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $1.6 million at December 31, 2014, of which approximately $0.7 million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2015. The state NOLs were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax provision for 2015 and 2014. In 2015 and 2014, the Company made quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual 2015 and 2014 federal and state income tax liability.

Net Income. Net income for 2015 was $42.2 million or $2.72 per diluted share compared to $30.7 million or $1.91 per diluted share for 2014. The changes in net income for 2015 reflected the impact of the items previously discussed, while the change in net income per diluted share also reflected a reduction in diluted shares outstanding in 2015 compared to 2014 as a result of the Company’s share repurchase program.

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to 2015

Manufacturing

Sales. Sales increased $282.0 million or 38%, to $1.0 billion from $738.4 million in 2015. This segment accounted for approximately 82% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2016. The sales increase reflected a 40%, 42% and 27% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.

The revenue increase largely reflected the revenue contribution of the acquisitions completed in 2016 and the incremental revenue contributions of the 2015 acquisitions. In 2016 and 2015, revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in each of those periods was $74.0 million and $101.1 million, respectively. The sales increase in 2016 is also primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in both the RV and MH industries of 15% in 2016; and (iii) improved residential housing starts in the overall market. Partially offsetting revenue growth in 2016, was the continued mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units, which the RV industry started to experience in the second quarter of 2015, particularly related to travel trailers in the towable sector of the industry, which negatively impacted content per unit growth.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $44.5 million to $166.8 million in 2016 from $122.3 million in 2015. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased to 16.3% in 2016 from 16.6% in 2015. The overall decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales primarily reflected the impact of RV wholesale shipments in excess of expected seasonal demand patterns in the second half of 2016, which when combined with the operational complexities related to the model year changeovers, generated certain internal capacity constraints and labor inefficiencies due to overtime and employee turnover, particularly in Patrick's Midwest facilities. In addition, gross profit dollars and as a percentage of sales for 2016 benefited from: (i) the addition of new, higher margin product lines; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2015 and 2016; and (iii) higher revenue relative to overall fixed overhead costs.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $28.5 million to $107.1 million in 2016 from $78.6 million in 2015. Operating income in 2016 included $9.5 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in 2016. Operating income in 2015 attributable to acquisitions completed in 2015 was $11.8 million. The improvement in operating income primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above.

Distribution

Sales. Sales increased $25.1 million or 12%, to $227.6 million in 2016 from $202.5 million in 2015. This segment accounted for approximately 18% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2016. The sales increase largely reflected an increase in the Company's revenue from the industrial markets.

The 2016 acquisition of Progressive contributed approximately $18.3 million to total sales in the Distribution segment in 2016. The acquisitions completed in 2015 were all related to the Manufacturing segment, and therefore there was no impact from these acquisitions on revenues in the Distribution segment. The sales improvement in 2016 also reflected: (i) the positive impact of increased market penetration; and (ii) a 15% increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $6.7 million to $38.3 million in 2016 from $31.6 million in 2015. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 16.8% in 2016 compared to 15.6% in 2015. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales for 2016 is primarily attributable to the strategic exit of certain negative or lower margin product lines within several of the Company's distribution businesses.

Operating Income. Operating income in 2016 increased $2.2 million to $15.0 million from $12.8 million in 2015. The acquisition of Progressive contributed approximately $0.8 million to total operating income in the Distribution segment in 2016. The acquisitions completed in 2015 were all related to the Manufacturing segment, and therefore there was no impact to operating income from these acquisitions in the Distribution segment. The improvement in operating income primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses in 2016 increased $5.2 million to $17.9 million from $12.7 million in 2015. Unallocated corporate expenses in 2016 included the impact of increased stock-based compensation expense in 2016 of approximately $1.8 million and an increase in administrative wages, incentives and payroll taxes, and additional headcount associated with the 2015 and 2016 acquisitions.

Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to 2014

Manufacturing

Sales. Sales increased $171.2 million or 30%, to $738.4 million from $567.2 million in 2014. This segment accounted for approximately 78% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2015. The sales increase reflected a 33%, 25% and 28% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.

Approximately $160.1 million of the revenue improvement in 2015 was attributable to the 2015 acquisitions and to the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2014. The remaining sales increase of $11.1 million was primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries of 5% and 10% in 2015, respectively; and (iii) improved retail and commercial fixtures and furniture business in the industrial markets. Partially offsetting this revenue growth was the mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units, which negatively impacted content per unit growth, and price declines in certain more commodity-oriented raw materials passed on to customers that the Company utilizes in its manufacturing processes.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $32.3 million to $122.3 million in 2015 from $90.0 million in 2014. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 16.6% in 2015 from 15.9% in 2014. Gross profit for 2015 improved primarily as a result of: (i) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2014 and 2015 and the addition of new, higher margin product lines; (ii) higher revenue relative to overall fixed overhead costs; and (iii) ongoing process changes that primarily increased material yields and resulted in the realization of operating synergies.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $22.8 million to $78.6 million in 2015 from $55.8 million in 2014. Operating income in 2015 included $11.8 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in 2015. Operating income in 2014 attributable to acquisitions completed in 2014 was $1.4 million. The improvement in operating income primarily reflected the increase in gross profit mentioned above in addition to a reduction in fuel costs and more efficient utilization per delivery truckload. Higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in 2015, which reflected the incremental impact of acquisitions completed in 2014 and increased sales, salaried and administration spending to support expected growth, partially offset the operating income improvement over 2014.

Distribution

Sales. Sales increased $13.1 million or 7%, to $202.5 million in 2015 from $189.4 million in 2014. This segment accounted for approximately 22% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2015. The sales increase reflected a 5%, 9%, and 19% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.

The 2015 acquisitions and the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2014 were responsible for approximately $16.8 million of revenue improvement in 2015. The sales improvement in 2015 also reflected: (i) the positive impact of increased market penetration; (ii) revenue due to additional direct ship distribution business added in the latter half of 2014 in the MH market; and (iii) a 10% increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry. Partially offsetting this revenue growth in 2015 was the mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $2.5 million to $31.6 million in 2015 from $29.1 million in 2014. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 15.6% in 2015 compared to 15.3% in 2014. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales for 2015 was primarily attributable to leveraging fixed costs on higher sales volumes.

Operating Income. Operating income in 2015 increased $2.1 million to $12.8 million from $10.7 million in 2014. Operating income attributable to acquisitions completed in 2014 was $1.7 million. The acquisitions completed in 2015 were all related to the manufacturing segment, therefore, there was no impact to operating income in the distribution segment. The improvement in operating income primarily reflected the increase in gross profit mentioned above in addition to a reduction in fuel costs and more efficient utilization per delivery truckload.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses in 2015 increased $2.2 million to $12.7 million from $10.5 million in 2014. Unallocated corporate expenses in 2015 included the impact of increased stock-based compensation expense in 2015 of approximately $1.4 million. Unallocated corporate expenses in 2015 included the impact of an increase in administrative wages, incentives and payroll taxes, and additional headcount associated with the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operations represent the net income the Company earned in the reported periods adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Its primary source of liquidity have been cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under the 2015 Credit Facility (as defined herein). The principal uses of cash are to support working capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support the Company's capital allocation strategy, which includes acquisitions, capital expenditures, and repurchases of the Company's common stock, among others.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $97.1 million in 2016 compared to $66.9 million in 2015. Net income was $55.6 million in 2016 compared to $42.2 million in the prior year. Net of acquisitions, trade receivables decreased $11.3 million in 2016 compared to a $9.0 million decrease in 2015, reflecting the impact of plant shutdowns by certain of its larger customers in

the latter part of December 2016 for the holiday season that was partially offset by increased sales levels and seasonal trends in each of those periods, including the post-acquisition sales increases of the acquisitions completed in 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Inventories, net of acquisitions, increased $12.5 million in 2016, primarily reflecting the sales volumes and inventory levels associated with acquisitions. Inventories, net of acquisitions, decreased $3.0 million in 2015, primarily resulting from the Company’s continued focus on improving inventory turns and the management of direct shipment business in the Distribution segment. Partially offsetting the inventories decrease in 2015 were higher sales volumes and related higher inventory levels associated with acquisitions. The Company continually works with its key suppliers to match lead-time and minimum order requirements, although it may see fluctuations in inventory levels from quarter to quarter as a result of taking advantage of strategic buying opportunities.

The $12.8 million net increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other in 2016 compared to the $8.7 million net decrease in 2015, primarily reflected the timing of payments related to the Company’s cash management and purchase discount initiatives to maximize discounts available on inventory procurement and the timing and impact of acquisitions.

The Company paid income taxes of $29.2 million and $24.1 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $66.9 million in 2015 compared to $46.3 million in 2014. Net income was $42.2 million in 2015 compared to $30.7 million in the prior year. Net of acquisitions, trade receivables decreased $9.0 million in 2015 and increased $1.9 million in 2014, reflecting the impact of plant shutdowns by certain of the Company's larger customers in mid-to-late December 2015 for the holiday season that was partially offset by increased sales levels and seasonal trends in each of those periods, including the post-acquisition sales increases of the acquisitions completed in 2015, 2014 and 2013. Inventories, net of acquisitions, decreased $3.0 million in 2015 primarily reflecting the Company's continued focus in improving inventory turns and the management of direct shipment business in the Distribution segment. Partially offsetting the inventories decrease in 2015 were higher sales volumes and related higher inventory levels associated with acquisitions completed in 2015, 2014 and 2013. The $1.7 million increase in inventories, net of acquisitions in 2014, primarily reflected higher sales volumes and related higher inventory levels associated with acquisitions. The $8.7 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other compared to the $4.9 million net increase in 2014 primarily reflected the timing of payments related to the Company’s cash management, purchase discount initiatives to maximize discounts available on inventory procurement, and the impact of acquisitions.

In 2015, total borrowings related to the Term Loan and net borrowings on the 2015 Revolver were $111.5 million in the aggregate. These borrowing were primarily used to fund the 2015 acquisitions, capital expenditures and stock repurchases totaling $170.8 million in the aggregate. For 2014, long-term borrowings, net of debt repayments, were $46.1 million and included borrowings to fund the 2014 acquisitions, capital expenditures and stock repurchases totaling $92.6 million in the aggregate. In addition, the Company paid down $8.0 million in principal on the Term Loan in 2015 with no comparable amount in 2014.

Capital Resources

2015 Credit Facility

The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2015 (the “2015 Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and a lender, and Fifth Third Bank, Key Bank National Association, Bank of America, N.A., and Lake City Bank as participants, to expand its senior secured credit facility to $250.0 million and extend its maturity to 2020 (the “2015 Credit Facility”). The 2015 Credit Facility initially was comprised of a $175.0 million revolving credit loan (the “2015 Revolver”) and a $75.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). The 2015 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and any domestic subsidiary guarantors.

On August 31, 2015, the Company entered into a first amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement to expand the 2015 Credit Facility to $300.0 million from $250.0 million by expanding the 2015 Revolver to $225.0 million.

On July 26, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement to expand the 2015 Credit Facility to $360.0 million from $300.0 million by expanding the 2015 Revolver to $269.4 million and the Term Loan to $90.6 million, and to add 1^st Source Bank as an additional participant.

At December 31, 2016, the Company had $82.7 million outstanding under the Term Loan and $190.4 million under the 2015 Revolver.

Pursuant to the 2015 Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include: (a) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, not to exceed 3.00:1.00 for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end; and (b) a required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, of at least 1.50:1.00 for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end.

In 2016 and 2015, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial debt covenants as required under the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. The required maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and the minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio compared to the actual amounts as of and for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016 are as follows:



	Required	Actual
Consolidated total leverage ratio (12-month period)	3.00	1.99
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (12-month period)	1.50	3.68

Additional information regarding: (i) certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements included in the 2015 Credit Agreement; (ii) the interest rates for borrowings at December 31, 2016 and 2015; and (iii) the composition of the calculation of both the consolidated total leverage ratio and the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio is included in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, which includes selling its products and collecting receivables, available cash reserves and borrowing capacity available under its 2015 Credit Facility. Its principal uses of cash are to support working capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support its capital allocation strategy, which includes acquisitions, capital expenditures, and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, among others.

Borrowings under the 2015 Revolver and the Term Loan under the 2015 Credit Facility are subject to a maximum total borrowing limit of $360.0 million (effective as of July 26, 2016) and are subject to variable rates of interest. The unused availability under the 2015 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2016 was $77.7 million. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our 2015 Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on our current cash flow budgets and forecast of our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

The Company's ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the 2015 Credit Facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. In addition, future liquidity and capital resources may be impacted as the Company continues to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage its operating platform and to repurchase common stock in conjunction with the Company's stock repurchase program announced in January 2016.

The Company's working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV and MH industries, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of its customers. In the event operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of the Company's capital resources were to become unavailable, the Company would seek to revise its operating strategies accordingly. The Company will continue to assess liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of its operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The SEC has defined a company’s most critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations, and which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Although management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available when they are made. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies and judgments:

Trade Receivables. Patrick is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of building products and material for use primarily by the RV and MH industries and other industrial markets. Trade receivables consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Credit risk related to trade receivables is controlled through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and the performance of ongoing credit evaluations of customers. In assessing the carrying value of its trade receivables, the Company estimates the recoverability by making assumptions based on factors such as current overall and industry-specific economic conditions, historical and anticipated customer performance, historical write-off and collection experience, the level of past-due amounts, and specific risks identified in the accounts receivable portfolio. Additional changes to the allowance could be necessary in the future if a customer’s creditworthiness deteriorates, or if actual defaults are higher than the Company’s historical experience. Any difference could result in an increase or decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method) or net realizable value. Based on the inventory aging and other considerations for realizable value, the Company writes down the carrying value to net realizable value where appropriate. The Company reviews inventory on-hand and records provisions for obsolete inventory based on current assessments of future demands, market conditions, and related management initiatives. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and operating results. If market conditions or customer requirements change and are less favorable than those projected by management, inventory allowances are adjusted accordingly.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. Events that may indicate that certain long-lived assets might be impaired include a significant downturn in the economy

or the RV or MH industries, and/or a loss of a major customer or several customers. Cash flow estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect the Company's best estimate of future market and operating conditions and forecasts. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value. Estimates of fair value represent the Company's best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions. The recoverability of PP&E is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on estimated selling price, appraised value or projected future cash flows. No events or changes in circumstances occurred that required the Company to assess the recoverability of its property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and therefore the Company has not recognized any impairment charges for those years.

All of the Company’s long-lived asset impairment assessments are based on established fair value techniques using market or income-based methodologies. When calculating the present value of future cash flows, multiple variables such as forecasted sales volumes and discount rates, are taken into consideration. These analyses require management to estimate both future cash flows and an appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the current business model. The assumptions supporting valuation models, including discount rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") multiples are determined using the best estimates as of the date of the impairment review. These estimates are subject to significant uncertainty, and differences in actual future results may require further impairment charges, which may be significant.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets. The Company has made acquisitions in the past that included goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets acquired are classified as customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and trademarks.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets such as trademarks are not amortized but are subject to an annual (or under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test in the fourth quarter based on their estimated fair value. We test more frequently, if there are indicators of impairment, or whenever such circumstances suggest that the carrying value of goodwill or trademarks may not be recoverable. These indicators include a sustained significant decline in Patrick's share price and market capitalization, a decline in expected future cash flows, or a significant adverse change in the business climate. A significant adverse change in the business climate could result in a significant loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth. No material events occurred during 2016, 2015 or 2014 that indicated the existence of impairment with respect to reported goodwill, trademarks, or other intangible assets.

Goodwill and other intangible assets are allocated to the Company’s reporting units at the date they are initially recorded. Impairment reviews of goodwill are performed at the reporting unit level, one level below the business segment. A reporting unit constitutes a business for which discrete profit and loss financial information is available. The Company’s reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, are those based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which segregates its businesses by product category and production/distribution process.

Once goodwill has been allocated to a reporting unit, it generally no longer retains its identification with a particular acquisition, but instead becomes identified with the reporting unit as a whole. In general, the Company’s operating segments include goodwill originating from acquisitions that remain reporting units of the Company for which impairment is assessed.

Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist. Newly acquired indefinite-lived assets are more vulnerable to impairments as the assets are recorded at fair value and are then subsequently measured at the lower of fair value or carrying value at the end of each reporting period. As such, immediately after acquisition, even a small decline in the outlook for these products can negatively impact the ability to recover the carrying value and can result in an impairment loss.

In evaluating goodwill for impairment, either a qualitative or quantitative assessment of the composition of the Company’s goodwill for impairment is performed. If initially using the qualitative assessment and the analysis indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company then performs a quantitative assessment. When estimating fair value with the quantitative assessment, the Company uses a market or income-based methodology including a multiple of EBITDA or present value of future cash flows. When calculating the present value of future cash flows, the Company takes into consideration multiple variables, including forecasted sales volumes, discount rates, comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping, current industry and economic conditions, and historical results. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill and other intangible assets are not impaired and no further steps are required.

Table of Contents

Based on the results of the Company's analyses, the estimated fair value was determined to substantially exceed the carrying value for each of the reporting units within the Manufacturing segment and within the Distribution segment for each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

If applicable, a qualitative assessment includes: (i) an evaluation of macroeconomic conditions; (ii) RV and MH industry and market considerations including wholesale unit shipment levels; (iii) cost factors including price fluctuations on major commodities both purchased for use in various manufactured products and for distribution to customers; (iv) overall financial performance of the Company including the ability to re-finance Patrick's credit facility under more favorable terms; (v) completion of acquisitions; (vi) an increase in product line offerings and an expansion of the Company's customer base; (vii) changes in the Company's stock price valuation; and (viii) and other relevant specific events.

In addition, there are no long-lived assets or asset groups, including tangible assets, for which it was determined that undiscounted cash flows are not substantially in excess of the carrying value or that could materially impact Patrick's operating results or total shareholders’ equity.

There were no material changes made to the Company's methods of evaluating goodwill and intangible asset impairments for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to determine impairment in the foreseeable future.


ITEM 7A.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Debt Obligations

At December 31, 2016, our total debt obligations under our 2015 Credit Agreement were under either LIBOR-based or prime rate-based interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the underlying LIBOR and prime rates would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $2.7 million, assuming average borrowings, including the Term Loan, subject to variable rates of $273.2 million, which was the amount of such borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2016 subject to variable rates.

Inflation

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, particleboard, fiberglass and aluminum, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, such as the price of oil, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile and continued to fluctuate in 2016. During periods of rising commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass the increased costs to our customers in the form of surcharges and price increases. However, there can be no assurance future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases will match raw material cost increases. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.

ITEM 9A.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and the Company’s management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Table of Contents

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the fair and reliable preparation and presentation of ouevar published financial statements. We continually evaluate our system of internal control over financial reporting to determine if changes are appropriate based upon changes in our operations or the business environment in which we operate.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). This assessment included a review of the documentation of controls, an assessment of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls, and a conclusion on this evaluation. As permitted under SEC guidance, management’s assessment of and conclusion regarding the design and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excluded the internal control over financial reporting of the operations of businesses acquired in 2016, which are described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP, audited our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, as stated in their report in the section entitled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 or subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Patrick Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Patrick Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures, as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As permitted, the Company has excluded the operations of businesses acquired during 2016, which are described in Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements, from the scope of the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. As such, they have also been excluded from the scope of our audit of internal control over financial reporting.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Patrick Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
