ELKHART, IN - April 30, 2020 - Patrick Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: PATK), a major manufacturer and distributor of component and building products for the recreational vehicle (“RV”), marine, manufactured housing (“MH”), and industrial markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2020.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2020 decreased $19.0 million, or 3.1%, to $589.2 million from $608.2 million in the same quarter of 2019. The decrease in the quarter was primarily attributable to lost shipping days and business disruption in our end markets in late March related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Patrick reported operating income of $39.3 million, an increase of 9.6% or $3.5 million, from $35.8 million reported in the first quarter of 2019. Net income in the first quarter of 2020 was $21.2 million compared to $20.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, and net income per diluted share was $0.91 and $0.90 for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

"Our first quarter results reflect both the momentum and positive traction experienced across all of our end markets in the first two months of the year, followed by business disruptions caused by the unprecedented and sudden COVID-19 pandemic, as many of our customers reduced production levels and purchases of our products which impacted our operations in late March,” said Andy Nemeth, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the impact of COVID-19 on our business, we are encouraged by our first quarter performance and are exceptionally proud of our talented and dedicated team members who immediately adjusted to the rapidly changing environment.”

“Additionally, the diversification of our end markets and geographic regions in which we operate have helped to lessen the impact of COVID-19 on our results, as certain plants in various parts of the country remained operational throughout March. The actions that we have taken over the past twelve months have continued to drive operational efficiencies and further optimize our cost structure, including the $10 million annualized fixed cost reduction implemented in the third quarter of 2019. The integration of acquisitions and execution of synergies across our business units has also helped to partially offset the financial impacts of COVID-19 and position our organization to be nimble in the current environment,” Mr. Nemeth continued.

First Quarter 2020 Sales by Market Sector

RV (55% of Sales)


•	Revenues of $320.2 million decreased 6%, compared to flat RV industry wholesale unit shipments for the quarter;


•	RV content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) decreased 1% to $3,112 from $3,131 for the first quarter of 2019.

Marine (13% of Sales)


•	Revenues of $78.0 million decreased 14%, while marine powerboat industry wholesale unit shipments decreased between 18% and 20%, according to Company estimates;


•	Marine powerboat content per retail unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) increased 3% to an estimated $1,531 from $1,484 for the first quarter of 2019.

MH (19% of Sales)


•	Revenues of $112.4 million increased 6% compared to the prior year, with an 8% increase in MH industry wholesale unit shipments, according to Company estimates;


•	MH content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the first quarter of 2020 increased 35% to an estimated $4,596 from $3,415 for the first quarter of 2019.

Industrial (13% of Sales)


•	Revenues of $78.6 million increased 14% compared to the prior year;


•	In residential housing, the Company’s primary industrial market, new housing starts in the first quarter of 2020 increased 22% compared to the first quarter of 2019.

The Company’s content per unit in the RV, marine and MH market sectors was negatively impacted in the quarter as manufacturers curtailed production in late March while continuing to ship finished product and reduce inventory levels in preparation for the short-term suspension of their operations related to COVID-19.

COVID-19 Business Continuity and Operations Update

As previously communicated, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a disruption to the Company’s operations during the latter half of March and through the month of April. In order to prioritize the safety and well-being of Patrick team members, continue to balance production levels with customer demand, and comply with government mandates while maximizing cash flows and liquidity, the Company temporarily suspended operations at certain facilities over the last five weeks and furloughed affected team members with benefits. Additionally, the Company proactively took the following cost containment and financial management measures:


•	Voluntary compensation reduction by the executive team


•	Voluntary reduction in quarterly compensation for the Board of Directors


•	Compensation reduction for salaried team members


•	Freeze on all non-essential hiring


•	Reduction of all non-essential spending


•	Prioritization of critical maintenance capital expenditures

The Company has certain facilities across the country that have remained operational throughout this time, and the majority of its other facilities either have re-opened already or are expected to return to operation by May 4, 2020. As plants resume operations, the Company has implemented specific policies and procedures across the organization in conjunction with guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control to ensure Patrick maintains a safe work environment for all team members, which is the Company’s highest priority.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Patrick generated cash flow from operations of $13.2 million in the quarter, a decrease of 53% compared to the prior year, which excludes $16 million of receivables collected within two business days following the quarter end. Inclusive of the $16 million collection of receivables, cash flow from operations would be $29 million, consistent with the prior year. Capital expenditures during the quarter were $7.6 million, a decrease of 24% due to a higher level of strategic project spending in the first quarter of 2019 and the Company’s efforts to reduce non-essential capital expenditures during March 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

The Company returned $21.4 million to shareholders during the quarter including $5.8 million in the form of quarterly dividends and $15.6 million in share repurchases and completed two strategic acquisitions with $20 million in expected annual revenues. While there is $43.5 million remaining under the current repurchase authorization, the Company has decided to pause its share buyback program at this time. In addition, the Company will continue to curtail strategic capital expenditures and has suspended acquisition activities until there is greater visibility into the macro environment. Given the current environment, and out of an abundance of caution, the Company remains focused on maintaining liquidity and maximizing cash flow.

The Company’s net debt at the end of the quarter was approximately $610 million. Available liquidity, comprised of borrowing availability under the Company’s credit facility and inclusive of $94.5 million of cash on hand, was approximately $505 million, with no major debt maturities until 2023.

2020 Outlook

“As we progress through the second quarter, our cost reduction and financial management measures that were implemented late in the first quarter remain in place,” added Mr. Nemeth. “We have recently taken additional steps to further reduce our fixed cost structure to align with projected revenues, consolidating certain like-product facilities as appropriate to maximize efficiencies, and have eliminated approximately $35 million of annualized fixed overhead, which will take effect in the second quarter of 2020. We have developed detailed, tiered execution plans, and as we continue to assess the macro environment and related demand levels within our market sectors, we will enact further measures as deemed necessary to adapt to the rapidly changing environment. Furthermore, in September 2019, we amended and extended our credit facility in conjunction with the issuance of senior notes to both support our long-term strategic plan and for defensive purposes for unanticipated situations such as this pandemic. Our capital structure and financial position remain strong and provide ample liquidity, which together with the flexibility of our highly variable cost model, will help us to manage through the economic turmoil and be able to quickly pivot and execute on our strategic growth initiatives once stability and visibility in the markets improve.”

Mr. Nemeth continued, “I am extremely proud of all of our passionate and dedicated team members throughout the organization who have worked diligently and tirelessly as we manage through these unprecedented times. Their commitment to our Company, each other, and our communities has been truly inspiring. Our organization, team members, and business units have continued to donate and manufacture personal protective equipment for front line COVID-19 workers in our local communities, volunteer their time, and sponsor lunches for medical professionals and staff at several local hospitals. As we look to the second quarter of 2020 and the remainder of the year, our organization remains extremely focused on short-term planning and execution with a commitment to our long-term goals of executing our strategic plan, driving shareholder value, reinvesting in our team members and communities, dealing responsibly with our business partners, and servicing our customers at the highest level.”
