NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


1.			BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Patrick Industries, Inc. (“Patrick”, the “Company”, "we", "our") contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that we believe are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 26, 2021 and December 31, 2020, its results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020.

Patrick’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the prior period presentation to conform to the current period presentation of other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and accumulated other comprehensive loss in Note 11. For a description of significant accounting policies used by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, please refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The December 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we will realize or expect for the full year ending December 31, 2021.

The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning approximately thirteen weeks. The first quarter ends on the Sunday closest to the end of the first thirteen-week period. The second and third quarters are thirteen weeks in duration and the fourth quarter is the remainder of the year. The third quarter of fiscal year 2021 ended on September 26, 2021 and the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 ended on September 27, 2020.

In preparation of Patrick’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the third quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2021, management evaluated all subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date of issuance of the Form 10-Q that required recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 18 for further information.


2.			RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", a new standard to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)", a new standard providing final guidance to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as SOFR. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity", a new standard that simplifies certain accounting treatments for convertible debt instruments. The guidance eliminates certain requirements that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features and simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. In addition, the new guidance requires entities use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted net income per share calculation and include the effect of potential share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, with certain exceptions. Furthermore, the guidance requires new disclosures about events that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met and about the fair value of convertible debt at the instrument level, among other things. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements. At this point in time, we anticipate the primary impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will be a reduction in non-cash interest expense as well as a reduction in diluted net income per share attributable to the application of the if-converted method for our convertible notes referenced in Note 9.

6.			ACQUISITIONS

General

The Company completed three acquisitions in the third quarter of 2021 and completed ten acquisitions in the nine months ended September 26, 2021 (the "2021 Acquisitions"). For the third quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2021, net sales included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income related to the 2021 Acquisitions were $84.0 million and $146.1 million, respectively, and operating income was $6.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively, for each of these periods. One of the 2021 Acquisitions accounted for $53.5 million in net sales and $2.6 million in operating income for the third quarter of 2021 and $85.6 million in net sales and $4.5 million in operating income for the nine months ended September 26, 2021. Acquisition-related costs associated with the businesses acquired in the third quarter of 2021 and first nine months of 2021 were immaterial. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the individual acquisitions were recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of the respective dates of acquisition. For each acquisition, the Company completes its allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities within a one year measurement period. The Company completed six acquisitions in the third quarter of 2020 and nine acquisitions in the nine months ended September 27, 2020. Net sales included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income in the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020 related to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2020 were $19.6 million and $23.3 million, respectively, and operating income was $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the same periods.

For each acquisition, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, which generally represents the combined value of the Company’s existing purchasing, manufacturing, sales, and systems resources with the organizational talent and expertise of the acquired companies’ respective management teams to maximize efficiencies, market share growth and net income.

In connection with certain acquisitions, if certain financial results for the acquired businesses are achieved, the Company is required to pay additional cash consideration. The Company records a liability for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to each of these acquisitions as part of the initial purchase price based on the present value of the expected future cash flows and the probability of future payments at the date of acquisition. As of September 26, 2021, the aggregate fair value of the estimated contingent consideration payments was $9.8 million, $3.7 million of which is included in "Accrued liabilities" and $6.1 million is included in “Other long-term liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, the aggregate fair value of the estimated contingent consideration payments was $6.9 million, $1.6 million of which was included in the line item "Accrued liabilities" and $5.3 million was included in "Other long-term liabilities". The liabilities for contingent consideration expire at various dates through December 2023. The contingent consideration arrangements are subject to a maximum payment amount of up to $19.6 million in the aggregate. In the third quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2021, the Company made $1.5 million and $2.5 million in cash payments, respectively, related to contingent consideration liabilities. In connection with cash payments on contingent consideration, the Company recorded a $0.9 million charge in selling general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 26, 2021, representing changes from the amounts initially expected to be paid to what was ultimately paid.

(1) Certain acquisitions contain working capital holdbacks which are typically settled after a 90-day period following the close of the acquisition. This value represents the remaining amounts due to (from) sellers as of September 26, 2021.

(2) In connection with one acquisition, the Company issued 113,961 shares of common stock at a closing price of $89.60 as of the acquisition date.

(3) These amounts reflect the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration based on future results relating to certain acquisitions.

(4) Goodwill is tax-deductible for the 2021 Acquisitions, except Tumacs Covers (approximately $6.2 million), and the 2020 Acquisitions, except Front Range Stone (approximately $11.0 million).

We estimate the value of acquired property, plant, and equipment using a combination of the income, cost, and market approaches, such as estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the acquired businesses.

We estimate the value of customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a variation on the income approach, calculating the present value of incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset. Non-compete agreements are valued using a discounted cash flow approach, which is a variation of an income approach, with and without the individual counterparties to the non-compete agreements. Trademarks and patents are valued using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value.

The following table presents our estimates of identifiable intangible assets for the 2021 Acquisitions and the 2020 Acquisitions:

4.75% Senior Notes due 2029

On April 20, 2021, the Company issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "4.75% Senior Notes"). The 4.75% Senior Notes were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and were offered under rule 144A under the Securities Act. The 4.75% Senior Notes will mature on May 1, 2029. Interest on the 4.75% Senior Notes started accruing April 20, 2021 and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2021. The effective interest rate on the 4.75% Senior Notes, which includes debt issuance costs, is approximately 4.98%. In connection with the issuance of the 4.75% Senior Notes, the Company incurred and capitalized as a reduction of the principal amount of the 4.75% Senior Notes

approximately $5.3 million in deferred financing costs which are being amortized using the effective interest rate over the term of the 4.75% Senior Notes.

The 4.75% Senior Notes are senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company and are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations of the Company under the 2021 Credit Facility (as defined herein). The Company may redeem the 4.75% Senior Notes at any time according to the following timeframes with the respective restrictions and prices:

2021 Credit Facility

Simultaneously with the issuance of the 4.75% Senior Notes, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2021 Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Credit Agreement amended and extended the Company's 2019 Credit Agreement (as defined herein) and consists of a senior secured revolver (the "2021 Revolver") and a senior secured term loan (the "2021 Term Loan" and together with the 2021 Revolver, the "2021 Credit Facility"). The maturity date for borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement is April 20, 2026. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, and obtaining incremental commitments from its lenders, the Company may be able to increase the borrowing capacity of the 2021 Credit Facility by up to $250.0 million for acquisitions.

The Company determined that the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement were not substantially different from the terms of the Company’s 2019 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, debt modification accounting treatment was applied and the related impacts were immaterial.

Borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility are secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and any domestic subsidiary guarantors. Pursuant to the 2021 Credit Agreement:

•The 2021 Term Loan is due in consecutive quarterly installments in the following amounts: (i) beginning June 30, 2021, through and including March 31, 2024, $1,875,000 and (ii) beginning June 30, 2024, and each quarter thereafter, $3,750,000, with the remaining balance due at maturity;

•The interest rates for borrowings under the 2021 Revolver and the 2021 Term Loan are the Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a margin, which ranges from 0.00% to 0.75% for Prime Rate loans and from 1.00% to 1.75% for LIBOR loans depending on the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio, as defined below. The Company is required to pay fees on unused but committed portions of the 2021 Revolver, which range from 0.15% to 0.225%; and

•Covenants include requirements as to a maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio (2.75:1.00, increasing to 3.25:1.00 in certain circumstances in connection with Company acquisitions) and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (1.50:1.00) that are tested on a quarterly basis, a minimum liquidity requirement applicable during the six-month period preceding the maturity of the Company's 1.00% Convertible Notes due 2023, and other customary covenants.

The total face value of the 2021 Term Loan is $150.0 million. Total available borrowing capacity under the 2021 Revolver is $550.0 million. At September 26, 2021, the Company had $148.1 million outstanding under the 2021 Term Loan under the LIBOR-based option, and borrowings outstanding under the 2021 Revolver of $135.5 million under the LIBOR-based option. The interest rate for incremental borrowings at September 26, 2021 was LIBOR plus 1.50% (or 1.63%) for the LIBOR-based option. The fee payable on committed but unused portions of the 2021 Revolver was 0.20% at September 26, 2021.

Total cash interest paid for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020 was $3.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and $21.2 million and $21.4 million for the comparative nine month periods, respectively.

2019 Credit Facility

See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K regarding the Company's previous credit agreement (the "2019 Credit Agreement") which established a $550 million revolving credit loan (the "2019 Revolver") and a $100 million term loan (the "2019 Term Loan" and, together with 2019 Revolver, the "2019 Credit Facility"). The 2019 Credit Agreement was amended by the 2021 Credit Agreement on April 20, 2021 as discussed above.


10.			DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's credit facility exposes the Company to risks associated with the variability in interest expense associated with fluctuations in LIBOR. To partially mitigate this risk, the Company entered into interest rate swaps. As of September 26, 2021, the Company had a combined notional principal amount of $200 million of interest rate swap agreements, all of which are designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements effectively convert the interest expense associated with a portion of the Company's variable rate debt from variable interest rates to fixed interest rates and have maturities ranging from February 2022 to March 2022.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative contracts included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):


	Fair value of derivative instruments
Derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges	Balance sheet location	September 26, 2021		December 31, 2020
Interest rate swaps	Accrued liabilities	$	2,506	$	—
Interest rate swaps	Other long-term liabilities	$	—	$	6,567

The interest rate swaps are comprised of over-the-counter derivatives, which are valued using models that primarily rely on observable inputs such as yield curves and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

See Note 11 for information regarding accumulated other comprehensive loss on interest rate swaps, which qualify as cash flow hedges.


11.			ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes unrealized gains and losses on derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, cumulative foreign currency translation and other adjustments. The activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the third quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020 was as follows:

16.			STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

In March 2020, the Board approved a new stock repurchase program for up to $50 million of its common stock, including amounts remaining under previous authorizations. In August 2021, the Company's Board authorized an increase in the amount of the Company's common stock that may be acquired over the next 24 months under the current stock repurchase program to $50 million, including the $14.4 million remaining under the previous authorization. Approximately $39.6 million remains in the amount of the Company's common stock that may be acquired under the current stock repurchase program as of September 26, 2021. The Company repurchased 128,929 shares of its common stock at an average price of $80.62 for an aggregate cost of $10.4 million in the third quarter ended September 26, 2021 and repurchased 388,929 shares of its common stock at an average price of $82.14 for an aggregate cost of $31.9 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2021. Prior to 2021, the Company retired shares as repurchased. Beginning in 2021, the Company elected not to retire shares as repurchased and the shares repurchased in the first six months of 2021 were instead held as "Treasury Stock." However, the Company retired these shares during the third quarter ended September 26, 2021 and has elected to retire shares immediately upon repurchase going forward. In the third quarter ended September 27, 2020, the Company repurchased 88,950 shares of its common stock at an average price of $53.24 per share for an aggregate cost of $4.7 million. In the first nine months ended September 27, 2020, the Company repurchased 545,105 shares of its common stock at an average price of $37.22 per share for an aggregate cost of approximately $20.3 million.


17.			COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, audits, and other claims arising in the normal course of business. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Accruals for these items, when applicable, have been provided to the extent that losses are deemed probable and are reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted from time to time as developments warrant.

Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained, on the basis of present information, amounts already provided, availability of insurance coverage and legal advice received, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Certain of our customers in the RV end market recently have initiated recalls involving certain products which are sold by our Distribution segment. We are currently evaluating the extent to which this matter will impact our consolidated financial statements. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate any such impact.


18.			SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In addition, this MD&A contains certain statements relating to future results which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34 of this Report. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW OF MARKETS AND RELATED INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE

Third Quarter and Nine Months 2021 Financial Overview

Recreational Vehicle ("RV") Industry

The RV industry is our largest market and comprised 60% of the Company’s sales in the third quarter ended September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020, respectively, and 59% and 55% for the comparative 2021 and 2020 nine month periods. Sales to the RV industry increased 50% in the third quarter of 2021 and increased 83% in the first nine months of 2021, compared to the prior year periods.

According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association ("RVIA"), wholesale shipments totaled approximately 152,400 units in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 23% compared to approximately 124,100 units in the third quarter of 2020. RVIA indicated that wholesale unit shipments for the first nine months of 2021 totaled approximately 452,600 units, an increase of 51% compared to approximately 300,200 units in the prior year. The increase in wholesale unit shipments in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 is attributed to a continued increase in RV dealer demand for RV units. In addition, the increase in the first nine months of 2021 reflects the comparison to the sharp decrease in wholesale unit shipments in the second quarter of 2020, which was a result of COVID-19-related production shutdowns at original equipment manufacturers' plants. This increase in dealer demand is correlated with consumer demand for RV units, which we believe reflects changes in consumer recreation patterns, which include an increased interest in outdoor recreation. According to our estimates, RV dealer inventories are trending at historical lows relative to what we understand to be historical customary inventory levels of RV dealers. We believe that the supply-demand dynamics of historically low dealer inventory levels, combined with strong retail consumer demand, have resulted in positive momentum in our RV end market. We estimate RV retail unit sales decreased 15-20% in the third quarter of 2021 in comparison to the third quarter of 2020 as a result of supply-chain constraints and low dealer inventory levels as well as particularly strong retail sales in the third quarter of 2020 as leisure lifestyle activities recovered following the COVID-19-related slowdown. We estimate RV retail unit sales increased 15% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year period.

Marine Industry

Sales to the marine industry, which represented approximately 16% and 14% of the Company's consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, increased 85% compared to the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, sales to the marine industry represented 16% and 14% of consolidated net sales, respectively, increasing 107% in 2021 compared to the prior year period.

Our marine revenue is generally correlated to marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments which, according to National Marine Manufacturers Association ("NMMA"), increased an estimated 15% for the third quarter 2021 and increased an estimated 16% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year periods. Marine retail powerboat unit sales decreased 31% in the third quarter of 2021 and decreased 6% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year periods as a result of supply-chain constraints and low dealer inventory levels as well as particularly strong retail sales in the third quarter of 2020 as leisure lifestyle activities recovered following the COVID-19-related slowdown. We estimate that, despite these decreases, marine retail sales exceeded marine wholesale unit shipments in both the third

quarter and nine months of 2021, resulting in marine dealer inventory levels that we believe are at their lowest in at least a decade.

Manufactured Housing ("MH") Industry

Sales to the MH industry, which represented 13% and 15% of the Company’s sales in the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, increased 25% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020. MH sales represented 14% and 18% of the Company's sales for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and increased 27% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year period. Based on industry data from the Manufactured Housing Institute, MH wholesale unit shipments increased 9% in the third quarter of 2021 and increased 14% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year periods.

Industrial Market

The industrial market is comprised primarily of the kitchen cabinet and countertop industry, hospitality market, retail and commercial fixtures market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors. Sales to this market represented 11% of our sales in the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, and increased 52% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year quarter. Sales to the industrial market represented 11% and 13% of our sales for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and increased 45% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year period. Overall, our revenues in these markets are focused on the residential and multifamily housing, hospitality, high-rise housing and office, commercial construction and institutional furniture markets. We estimate that approximately 70% of our industrial business is directly tied to the residential housing market, with the remaining 30% directly tied to the non-residential and commercial markets.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, combined new housing starts increased 9% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year quarter, with single family housing starts increasing 5% and multifamily housing starts increasing 19% for the same period. The U.S. Census Bureau also indicated that for the first nine months of 2021, combined new housing starts increased 20%, with single family housing starts increasing 20% and multifamily housing starts increasing 18% compared to 2020. Our industrial products are generally among the last components installed in new unit construction and as such our related sales typically trail new housing starts by four to six months.

Net Sales. Net sales in the third quarter of 2021 increased $359.5 million, or 51%, to $1,060.2 million from $700.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. The net sales increase in the third quarter of 2021 reflects strong demand for our products across all end markets. The Company's RV market sales increased 50%, marine market sales increased 85%, MH market sales increased 25% and industrial market sales increased 52% when compared to the prior year quarter.

Net sales in the first nine months of 2021 increased $1,216.6 million, or 71%, to $2,930.6 million from $1,714.0 million in the first nine months of 2020. The net sales increase in the first nine months of 2021 reflects sales increases in all of our end markets, while sales in the first nine months of 2020 also reflect the impact of COVID-19-related production shutdowns during the second quarter of 2020. The Company's RV market sales increased 83%, marine market sales increased 107%, MH market sales increased 27% and industrial market sales increased 45% in the first nine months of 2021 when compared to the prior year period.

Revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2021 was $84.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $146.1 million for the first nine months of 2021. Revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2020 was $19.6 million in the third quarter of 2020 and $23.3 million for the first nine months of 2020.

The Company’s RV content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the third quarter of 2021 increased approximately 19% to $3,735 from $3,139 for the third quarter of 2020. Marine powerboat content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the third quarter of 2021 increased approximately 66% to an estimated $3,166 from $1,909 for the third quarter of 2020. MH content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the third quarter of 2021 increased approximately 10% to $4,961 from $4,497 for the third quarter of 2020.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $284.8 million, or 50%, to $852.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $567.2 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased 50 basis points during the third quarter of 2021 to 80.4% from 80.9% in 2020.

Cost of goods sold in the first nine months increased $959.1 million, or 69%, to $2,356.4 million from $1,397.3 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased 110 basis points during the first nine months of 2021 to 80.4% from 81.5% in 2020.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 primarily as a result of (i) continued cost reduction and automation initiatives we deployed throughout 2020 and into 2021, (ii) volume-driven efficiencies as a result of leveraging fixed overhead, (iii) a recovery from the production inefficiencies experienced while operating in a COVID-19 environment, and (iv) synergies and different cost profiles from our 2021 and 2020 acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in labor, supply-chain constraints, and an increase in certain commodity cost inputs. In general, the Company's cost of goods sold percentage can be impacted from quarter-to-quarter by demand changes in certain market sectors that can result in fluctuating costs of certain raw materials and commodity-based components that are utilized in the production of our products.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $74.7 million, or 56%, to $208.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $133.5 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 50 basis points to 19.6% in the third quarter of 2021 from 19.1% in the same period in 2020.

Gross profit increased $257.5 million, or 81%, to $574.2 million in the first nine months of 2021 from $316.7 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 110 basis points to 19.6% in the first nine months of 2021 from 18.5% in the same period in 2020.

The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 reflects the impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $10.6 million, or 42%, to $35.9 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $25.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses decreased 20 basis points to 3.4% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 3.6% in the third quarter of 2020.

Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $30.4 million, or 43%, to $100.6 million in the first nine months of 2021 from $70.2 million in the first nine months of 2020. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses decreased 70 basis points to 3.4% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to 4.1% in the prior year period.

The increases in warehouse and delivery expenses are attributable to the significant increases in sales. However, the decreases as a percentage of sales are primarily attributable to leveraging certain fixed warehousing costs and the lower proportion of MH sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 as compared to 2020, which have higher warehouse and delivery costs as a percentage of net sales. In addition, the first nine months of 2020 reflect operating inefficiencies associated with COVID-19.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $26.0 million, or 68%, to $64.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $38.2 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 6.1% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 5.4% in the third quarter of 2020.

SG&A expenses increased $70.1 million, or 66%, to $175.8 million in the first nine months of 2021 from $105.7 million in the first nine months of 2020. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 6.0% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to 6.2% in the first nine months of 2020.

The increases in SG&A expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to 2020 are primarily due to (i) the increase in net sales; (ii) increases in the breadth and depth of corporate resources, specifically our investments in human capital and other initiatives to support the size and growth of the Company and (iii) the comparison to the prior year, which includes SG&A cost reduction measures implemented in the second quarter of 2020 that continued into the third quarter of 2020. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 70 basis points for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020. This increase is primarily a result of the aforementioned investment in human capital in order to further support the size and growth of the Company. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased 20 basis points for the first nine months of 2021 when compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting the fixed nature of certain SG&A costs and operating inefficiencies associated with COVID-19 during 2020.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $4.6 million, or 44%, to $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $10.2 million in the prior year quarter. Amortization of intangible assets increased $11.1 million, or 37%, to $40.7 million in the first nine months of 2021 from $29.6 million in the first nine months of 2020. The increases in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year periods primarily reflect the impact of businesses acquired in 2020 and 2021.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $33.5 million, or 56%, to $93.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $59.8 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased 30 basis points to 8.8% in the third quarter of 2021 versus 8.5% in the same period in 2020. Operating income increased $145.8 million, or 131%, to $257.0 million in the first nine months of 2021 from $111.2 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, operating income

increased 230 basis points to 8.8% in the first nine months of 2021 versus 6.5% in the same period in 2020. The change in operating income and operating margin is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $4.9 million, or 47%, to $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $10.5 million in the prior year. Interest expense increased $9.4 million, or 29%, to $41.2 million in the first nine months of 2021 from $31.8 million in the prior year.

The increase in interest expense reflects (i) increased borrowings related to 2020 and 2021 acquisitions and (ii) the Company's issuance of its 4.75% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "4.75% Senior Notes") in April 2021 (as described in Note 9 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $8.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 to $20.4 million from $12.0 million in the prior year period. Income tax expense increased $31.7 million in the first nine months of 2021, to $51.9 million from $20.2 million in the prior year period.

The increase in income tax expense is due primarily to an increase in pretax income. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2021 and 2020 was 26.3% and 24.3%, respectively. The effective tax rates in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020 were 24.1% and 25.4%, respectively. The 2021 rate includes the impact of the recognition of excess tax benefits on share-based compensation that was recorded as a reduction to income tax expense in the amount of $5.7 million, while the 2020 rate reflects the impact of $2.2 million in permanent tax differences due to certain Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act payroll tax credits.

Use of Financial Metrics

Our MD&A includes financial metrics, such as RV, marine and MH content per unit, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance. Content per unit metrics are generally calculated using our market sales divided by third-party measures of industry volume. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to U.S. GAAP. Our computations of content per unit may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These metrics should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Company's reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, are based on its method of internal reporting. The Company regularly evaluates the performance of the Manufacturing and Distribution segments and allocates resources to them based on a variety of indicators including sales and operating income. The Company does not measure profitability at the customer market (RV, marine, MH and industrial) level.

Manufacturing

Sales. Sales increased $286.0 million, or 56%, to $792.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $506.3 million in the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2021, sales increased $921.1 million, or 75%, to $2,151.9 million from $1,230.8 million in the prior year period. This segment accounted for approximately 73% and 71% of the Company’s sales for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 72% and 71% for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The sales increase in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 was attributed to sales increases in all four of the Company's end markets, where sales to the RV end market increased 49%, marine increased 85%, MH increased 43% and industrial increased 56%. The sales increase for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year period was also attributed to sales increases in all four end markets, where RV end market sales increased 77%, marine increased 107%, MH increased 49% and industrial increased 47%. Net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2021 were approximately $63.4 million and

$110.1 million, respectively, and net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2020 were $13.2 million and $17.0 million, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $51.6 million, or 53%, to $149.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $97.5 million in the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, gross profit increased $195.2 million, or 87%, to $420.6 million from $225.4 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased to 18.8% in the third quarter of 2021 from 19.3% in the third quarter of 2020 and increased to 19.5% in the first nine months of 2021 from 18.3% in the prior year period.

Gross profit margin decreased during the third quarter of 2021 compared to third quarter of 2020 primarily due to a 250 basis point increase in manufacturing material expense as a percentage of sales due to the impacts of supply chain constraints and increased material costs, partially offset by an improvement of 90 basis points in manufacturing labor and 120 basis points in manufacturing overhead as a percentage of sales.

Gross profit margin increased during the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to (i) a 250 basis point improvement in manufacturing overhead expense as a percentage of net sales, and (ii) an 80 basis point improvement in direct labor as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a 200 basis point increase in material costs as a percentage of sales.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $28.1 million, or 44%, to $91.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $63.3 million in the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2021, operating income increased $137.8 million, or 105%, to $269.2 million from $131.4 million the prior year period. The overall increase in operating income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 primarily reflects the items discussed above.

Distribution

Sales. Sales increased $81.7 million, or 39%, to $289.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $208.1 million in the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2021, sales increased $321.5 million, or 63%, to $833.4 million from $511.9 million in the prior year period. This segment accounted for approximately 27% and 29% of the Company’s sales for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 28% and 29% of sales for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The sales increase in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 was attributed to a 52% increase in our RV market sales, an 85% increase in marine market sales, an 11% increase in MH market sales, and a 25% increase in industrial market sales. The sales increase in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was attributed to a 97% increase in RV market sales, a 103% increase in marine market sales, a 12% increase in MH market sales and a 31% increase in industrial market sales. Net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2021 were approximately $20.6 million and $36.0 million, respectively, and net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2020 was approximately $6.5 million.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $21.0 million, or 58%, to $57.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $36.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, gross profit increased $69.4 million, or 78%, to $158.0 million from $88.6 million the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 19.8% in the third quarter of 2021 from 17.4% in the third quarter of 2020, and increased to 19.0% for the first nine months of 2021 from 17.3% for the prior year period. The increase in gross profit margin in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 is primarily attributed to the higher margin profiles of certain 2020 and 2021 acquisitions and leveraging of certain fixed costs.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $14.8 million, or 90%, to $31.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $16.4 million in the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2021, operating income increased $50.2 million or 151%, to $83.6 million from $33.4 million the prior year period. The improvement in operating income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 primarily reflects the items discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity at September 26, 2021 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $44.9 million as well as $409.3 million of availability under our credit facility.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities are one of the Company's primary sources of liquidity, representing the net income the Company earned in the reported periods, adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $34.6 million to $147.4 million in the first nine months of 2021 from $112.8 million in the first nine months of 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to (i) a $104.7 million increase in net income and (ii) a $23.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization. These increases in sources of cash from operations were offset by an increase in use of cash for net working capital of $108.4 million, associated primarily with investments in inventory to support customer needs and growth of accounts receivable in line with net sales.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $198.3 million to $343.7 million in the first nine months of 2021 from $145.4 million in the first nine months of 2020 primarily due to an increase in cash used in business acquisitions of $174.3 million and a $22.0 million increase in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $240.8 million to $196.4 million in the first nine months of 2021 from a $44.4 million use of cash in the first nine months of 2020. The increase is primarily due to (i) proceeds of $350.0 million from the Company's issuance of its 4.75% Senior Notes and (ii) an additional $58.8 million in term loan borrowings. These sources of cash were partially offset by (i) an additional $139.6 million in net revolver repayments, (ii) a $12.0 million increase in taxes paid for share-based payment arrangements and (iii) a $13.8 million increase in stock repurchases and dividends to shareholders.

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 26, 2021, the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under its 2021 Credit Facility (as defined herein) are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on its current cash flow budgets and forecast of short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

The ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the 2021 Credit Facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the credit agreement that established the 2021 Credit Facility (the "2021 Credit Agreement").

As of and for the September 26, 2021 reporting date, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as required under the terms of its 2021 Credit Agreement. The required maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and the required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as such ratios are defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement, compared to the actual amounts as of September 26, 2021 and for the fiscal period then ended are as follows:


	Required	Actual
Consolidated secured net leverage ratio (12-month period)	2.75	0.48
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (12-month period)	1.50	6.84

In addition, as of September 26, 2021, the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio (12-month period) was 2.20. While this ratio was a covenant under the Company’s previous credit agreement and is not a covenant under the 2021 Credit Agreement, it is used in the determination of the applicable borrowing margin under the 2021 Credit Agreement.

Working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV, MH, marine and industrial markets we serve, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of customers. In the event that 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 its liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.

On April 20, 2021, we completed the issuance of $350 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% Senior Notes in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 4.75% Senior Notes, which were issued at par, carry an interest rate of 4.75%. Following the completion of the offering, the Company amended and restated the credit agreement governing its then-existing $650 million senior secured credit facility to establish a new $700 million senior secured credit facility consisting of a $550 million revolving credit facility and a $150 million term loan facility (the "2021 Credit Facility"). The maturity date for borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility was extended to April 2026. The 2021 Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previously existing credit facility that was due to mature in September 2024.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies which are summarized in the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

OTHER

Seasonality

Manufacturing operations in the RV, marine and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the weather 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 August/September timeframe as well as marine open houses in the January/February timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years due to the impact of national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, timing of dealer orders, fluctuations in dealer inventories, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer buying patterns, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.

Subsequent Events

We evaluated all subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date of issuance of the Form 10-Q that required recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

See Note 18 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of events occurring after September 26, 2021 until the filing date of this Form 10-Q.

INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company makes forward-looking statements with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for the common stock of Patrick Industries, Inc. and other matters from time to time and desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” which is afforded such statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 when they are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The statements contained in the foregoing “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, as well as other statements contained in this quarterly report and statements contained in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), publicly disseminated press releases, quarterly earnings conference calls, 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. 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. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Information about certain risks that could affect our business and cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements are contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in the Company's Forms 10-Q for subsequent quarterly periods, which are filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.


ITEM 3.			QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Debt Obligations under Credit Agreement

At September 26, 2021, our total debt obligations under our credit agreement were under LIBOR-based interest rates. A 100-basis point increase in the underlying LIBOR and prime rates would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $0.8 million, assuming average borrowings, including our term loan, subject to variable rates of $83.6 million, which was the amount of such borrowings outstanding at September 26, 2021 subject to variable rates. The $83.6 million excludes deferred financing costs related to the term loan and $200.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the revolver and term loan that are hedged at a fixed interest rate through interest rate swaps.

Commodity Volatility

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, particleboard, aluminum, softwoods lumber, and petroleum-based products, 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 the third quarter and first nine months of 2021. During periods of volatile commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass both price increases and decreases to our customers in the form of price adjustments. We are exposed to risks during periods of commodity volatility because there can be no assurance future cost increases or decreases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases or decreases will match raw material cost increases or decreases. We do not believe that commodity price volatility had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.


ITEM 4.			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.

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 quarterly 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 the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the third quarter ended September 26, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
