Patrick Industries, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Highlights (compared to Fourth Quarter 2022 unless otherwise noted)
Fourth quarter net sales of $781 million decreased 18% as a result of lower OEM wholesale unit shipments in our end markets and lower pricing passed on to our customers to reflect changes in certain commodity costs.
Fourth quarter and full year 2023 diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.41 and $6.50, respectively. Fourth quarter and full year 2023 EPS included approximately $0.08 and $0.21, respectively, of one-time, non-recurring expenses related to tornado damage, severance, and facility consolidations, net of a favorable fair-value measurement adjustment.
Operating margin for the fourth quarter improved 20 basis points to 7.3%, reflecting the continued benefits of our diversification strategy, successful labor management and cost control, and continuous improvement and automation initiatives.
Achieved full year 2023 operating margin of 7.5%.
Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA of $100 million decreased 8%, while fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA margin increased 140 basis points to 12.8%; full year 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $425 million decreased 34%, while full year 2023 adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 100 basis points to 12.2%.
Inventory reduction of $158 million from year-end 2022.
Cash provided by operations for full year 2023 was $409 million versus $412 million for 2022; free cash flow for 2023 was $350 million, an increase of 5% compared to $332 million for 2022.
Repaid $260 million of debt during the year, resulting in total net leverage of 2.4x and total available liquidity of $780 million at year-end 2023. Returned $61 million to shareholders in 2023 in the form of stock repurchases and dividends.
Completed the acquisition of Sportech, LLC in January 2024, representing our largest acquisition to date.

ELKHART, IN, February 8, 2024 Patrick Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: PATK) ("Patrick" or the "Company"), a leading component solutions provider for the Outdoor Enthusiast and Housing markets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

Fourth quarter net sales decreased 18%, to $781 million from $952 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decline in revenue was primarily due to the impact on our business from lower OEM wholesale unit shipments across our end markets during the period and lower pricing passed on to our customers to reflect changes in certain commodity costs.

Operating income of $57 million decreased $11 million, or 15%, from $68 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decline was the result of lower sales, partially offset by cost reduction efforts. Operating margin of 7.3% increased 20 basis points compared to 7.1% in the same period a year ago due to our team's execution of cost savings initiatives, successful labor management, automation, continuous improvement and investments to strategically diversify our business through margin accretive acquisitions. These were partially offset by the higher fixed cost profile of our marine businesses.
Net income was $31 million, a decrease of 23%, compared to $40 million in the same period of 2022. Diluted earnings per share was $1.41, a decrease of 16% compared to $1.68. Fourth quarter 2023 diluted earnings per share included approximately $0.08 of one-time, non-recurring expenses related to tornado damage to two of our facilities in Nashville, Tennessee in December, severance, and facility consolidations, net of a favorable fair-value measurement adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA was $100 million in the quarter, a decline of 8%, while adjusted EBITDA margin increased 140 basis points to 12.8% versus the prior year period.

"I am extremely proud of our team's achievements throughout 2023 as they relentlessly focused on driving and delivering strong results in the face of challenging market conditions, with an unwavering commitment to our goal to be the supplier of choice to OEMs in the Outdoor Enthusiast and Housing markets," said Andy Nemeth, Chief Executive Officer. "Our team performed impressively, despite RV wholesale unit shipments hitting 10-year lows in 2023 and emerging marine headwinds that resulted in an almost 30% decline in marine wholesale shipment run rates in the second half of 2023 compared with the first half of the year. We executed on delivering strong free cash flows through disciplined cost control and prudent working capital management, while continuing to strengthen our financial foundation by repaying $260 million of debt in 2023, and reducing our inventory by $158 million. Our strong liquidity has enabled us to remain nimble and act decisively to take advantage of strategic opportunities, including investments like our recent acquisition of Sportech in January 2024. Our strategic diversification initiatives have enhanced our profitability despite cyclical pressures and we expect to see improved performance when demand recovers."

Jeff Rodino, President – RV, said, "We have continued to invest in our platform to ensure we remain focused on our goal of delivering the highest quality and service while actively listening to the voice of the customer. The recent creation of our Advanced Products Evolution Group, our continued investments in automation, AI, robotic learning, IT, and software solutions, represent our commitment to continuously improve our customer focused model, as well as our financial and structural processes, further enabling us to drive long-term benefits that support future growth."

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
Cash provided by operations for the full year 2023 was $409 million versus $412 million in 2022, as our monetization of working capital largely offset the year-over-year decrease in net income. Purchases of property, plant and equipment for full year 2023 totaled $59 million, reflecting continued investments in automation and technology initiatives in support of scalable growth. For the full year 2023, business acquisitions totaled $26 million, primarily related to the acquisition of Patrick Marine Transport in the second quarter. Free cash flow in 2023 was $350 million, an increase of 5% compared to $332 million in 2022.
In alignment with our capital allocation strategy, we returned $19 million to shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2023, consisting of $7 million in opportunistic repurchases of approximately 90,800 shares and $12 million in dividends. For the full year, we repurchased approximately 276,800 shares for a total of $19 million and returned $42 million in dividends to our shareholders.
We repaid long-term debt of approximately $260 million in 2023. Our total debt at the end of the quarter was approximately $1.0 billion, resulting in a total net leverage ratio of 2.4x (as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement). Available liquidity, comprised of borrowing availability under our credit facility and cash on hand, was approximately $780 million. In January 2024, we completed the $315 million acquisition of Sportech, primarily funded by borrowings under our credit facility.
Business Outlook and Summary
"In the face of a challenging environment, our team members demonstrated our BETTER Together values, prioritizing improving our customer service, meeting our customers' needs and managing in alignment with their dynamic production schedules while also focusing on our financial strength through initiatives including debt reduction, prudent working capital and cost management, and realized operational efficiencies," continued Mr. Nemeth. "We are confident in the long-term growth potential of our business and remain optimistic that we will begin to see improvement in our end markets this year, starting with the RV market. Our recent acquisition of Sportech, with a focus on the attractive utility and premium off-road vehicle segment of the Powersports market, provides us with another solid platform for future organic and strategic growth. Sportech enables us to further accelerate our momentum within the attractive Outdoor Enthusiast space, and we continue to see the potential to expand our total addressable market, furthering our strategic diversification. Looking ahead to 2024 with our strong capital structure and liquidity position, nimble business model, and focus on delivering the highest level of customer service, we remain ready to flex our business both for challenges and opportunities and drive profitable long-term growth."

PATRICK INDUSTRIES, INC.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)

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