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 is a leading component solutions provider for the recreational vehicle ("RV"), marine, manufactured housing ("MH") and various industrial markets – including single and multi-family housing, hospitality, institutional and commercial markets.

The Company operates through a nationwide network that includes, as of December 31, 2023, 179 manufacturing plants and 62 warehouse and distribution facilities located in 23 states, with a small presence in Mexico, China and Canada. 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 footprint of its customers. The Manufacturing and Distribution segments accounted for 75% and 25%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2023. Financial information about these operating segments is included in Note 16 "Segment Information" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Form 10-K") and incorporated herein by reference.

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

Over the last three years, we have executed on a number of new product initiatives and completed acquisitions for approximately $804 million in total consideration that directly complement our core competencies and existing products, expand our presence in our primary end markets, and position us to enter new end markets.

Patrick believes that returning capital to shareholders is an important part of its capital allocation strategy, and during 2023 we returned $61 million to shareholders through our regular quarterly dividend and opportunistic share repurchases.

The Company was incorporated in 1959 in Indiana. The Company's principal executive and administrative offices are located at 107 West Franklin Street, Elkhart, Indiana 46516 and the telephone number is (574) 294-7511; Internet website address: www.patrickind.com.

Primary Markets

Patrick manufactures and distributes its products for four primary end markets. Our operating facilities generally are strategically located in proximity to the customers they serve. The Company’s net sales by market are as follows:


	2023		2022
RV	43	%	53	%
Marine	27	%	21	%
MH	16	%	15	%
Industrial	14	%	11	%
Total	100	%	100	%

Recreational Vehicles

The Company’s RV products are sold primarily to major manufacturers of RVs, smaller original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), and to a lesser extent, manufacturers in adjacent industries. The principal types of recreational vehicles include (1) towables: conventional travel trailers, fifth wheels, folding camping trailers, and truck campers; and (2) motorized: class A (large motor homes), class B (van campers), and class C (small-to-mid size motor homes). The RV market is primarily dominated by Thor Industries, Inc. (“Thor”), Forest River, Inc. (“Forest River”) and Winnebago Industries, Inc. ("Winnebago") which combined held approximately 86% of retail market share for towables and 83% for motorized units for 2023 as reported per Statistical Surveys, Inc. ("SSI").

We believe there has been substantial growth over the past several years in the consumer’s affinity for the Outdoor Enthusiast lifestyle. As more people see the benefits of enjoying the outdoors with families and friends, there should be a positive impact on long-term demand in the RV market. We also are optimistic about the near-term outlook for the RV market, which we believe bottomed in 2023 after a period of sharp declines in OEM production in late 2022 and 2023 as a result of decreased retail demand and dealer inventory reductions. Our analysis suggests that dealer inventory levels are currently well below historical norms and will need to be replenished when retail demand recovers. Our strategy in the RV space continues to be centered around our goal of providing best-in-class customer service and a growing portfolio of products to OEMs through our full solutions model, therefore helping our customers innovate and build quality units across the spectrum of feature and price.

We estimate that our mix of RV revenues related to towable units and motorized units is consistent with the overall RV industry production mix. In 2023, according to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association ("RVIA"), towable and motorized unit shipments represented approximately 85% and 15%, respectively, of total RV industry wholesale shipments with wholesale unit shipments decreasing 39% in the towable sector and decreasing 21% in the motorized sector in 2023 compared to the prior year.

Recreational vehicle purchases are generally consumer discretionary income purchases, and therefore, any situation which causes concerns related to discretionary income may have a negative impact on the RV 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, fluctuations in dealer inventories, the level of disposable income, and other demographic trends.

Demographic and ownership trends continue to point to favorable market growth for the long term in the RV market, as we believe that there has been a shift toward outdoor, nature-based tourism activities in a post-COVID environment, with younger and more diverse campers across different socio-economic groups. According to the 2023 Kampgrounds of America, Inc. ("KOA") North American Camping and Outdoor Hospitality Report, based on surveys of North American leisure travelers, 58.5 million households went camping in 2022, an increase from 57 million in 2021 and 42 million in 2019. Of these camping households, 15.2 million went on at least one RV trip during 2022, compared to 14.8 million in 2021 and 11.3 million in 2019. At the same time, the proportion of campers in younger demographic groups has been steadily increasing over the last several years, with "millennials" and "Gen Zers" representing 71% of campers in 2022, up from 53% in 2021 and 44% in 2019. Additionally, according to the 2023 KOA report, 28% of 2022 camper households reported household income of over $100,000. While this percentage was down from 37% in 2021, these higher-income households still represented a significantly greater proportion of campers than before the COVID-19 pandemic.

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” (the "MD&A") of this Form 10-K.

Marine

We believe that the marine market reflects the active, outdoor leisure-based, family-oriented lifestyle, similar to our RV end market, and the Company has increased its focus and expanded its presence in this market through recent acquisitions, particularly within the last three years. Consumer demand in the marine market is generally driven by the popularity of the recreational and leisure lifestyle and by economic conditions. The sharp increase in demand for powerboats, which is our primary marine market, experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic continued through 2021 and into 2022, although supply chain constraints limited wholesale unit shipments which resulted in higher order backlogs and historically low dealer inventory levels, during the first half of 2022. While these supply chain constraints improved during the second half of 2022, OEM production declined slightly in 2023 as concerns relating to elevated interest rates, inflation and overall economic uncertainties dampened retail demand and led marine dealers to reduce inventory levels. The Company's marine revenue mix is slightly more concentrated toward higher dollar units, particularly the fiberglass and ski and wake segments, which began to see more pronounced softness in market demand in the second half of 2023 compared to the broader marine market. We expect to continue to feel the effects of our revenue mix through the first half of 2024. Despite short-term challenges, we remain optimistic about the long-term outlook including within the high value, premium segment of the marine industry that we serve.

According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association (“NMMA”), per its 2022 U.S. Recreational Boating Statistical Abstract (the "Abstract"), U.S. retail expenditures on boats, engines, accessories, and related costs totaled approximately $59.3 billion in 2022, up approximately 4.4% from 2021. Based on data from the Abstract, we estimate that the average age of pre-owned powerboats sold during 2022 was approximately 23 years compared to an average useful life of 30 years.

The Company’s sales to the marine industry are primarily focused on the powerboat sector of the market which is comprised of four main categories: fiberglass, aluminum fishing, pontoon and ski & wake. Based on current available data per SSI through December 2023, within the powerboat sector for 2023, fiberglass units accounted for approximately 35% of retail unit sales, aluminum 25%, pontoon 34% and ski & wake 6%. In addition, per SSI, marine powerboat retail unit shipments decreased approximately 5% in 2023 compared to 2022, while marine wholesale unit shipments, according to Company estimates based on NMMA data, increased approximately 2% in 2023 compared to 2022. Additional information about the Company’s sales to the marine industry is included in the MD&A of this Form 10-K.

Manufactured Housing

The Company’s products for this market are sold primarily to major manufacturers of manufactured homes, other OEMs, and to a lesser extent, manufacturers in adjacent industries. In the aggregate, the top three manufacturers produced approximately 80% of MH market retail unit shipments in 2023 per SSI.

Wholesale unit shipments have increased in the MH industry from a low of approximately 49,800 units in 2009 to approximately 89,200 units in 2023 after reaching a 15-year high of 112,900 units in 2022. The Company believes there is growth potential for this market in the long term driven by pent-up demand, multi-family housing capacity, demand for lower-cost rental options, increased affordability and quality, demographic trends such as increased first-time home buyers and urban-to-suburban relocations trends, new home pricing, and investments from developers and real estate investment trusts. We continue to expand our product offerings to meet the evolving needs of our OEM customers, including energy efficient water heaters, furnaces, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ("HVAC") duct systems and other products for OEMs seeking to exceed government sustainability guidelines on manufactured homes.

Factors that may favorably impact production levels further in this industry include jobs growth, consumer confidence, favorable changes in financing regulations, a narrowing in the difference between interest rates on MH loans and mortgages on traditional residential "stick-built" housing, and any improvement in conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.

We believe that MH units offer a cost-effective housing solution in a time when high home prices coupled with increased mortgage interest rates have negatively impacted housing affordability.

Additional information about the Company’s sales to the MH industry is included in the MD&A of this Form 10-K.

Industrial Markets

We estimate that approximately 70% to 80% of our industrial net sales in 2023 were associated with the U.S. residential housing market. We believe that there is a direct correlation between the demand for our products and new residential housing construction and existing home remodeling activities. Patrick's sales to the industrial market generally lag new

housing starts by four to six months as our industrial products are generally among the last components installed into new unit construction and will vary based on differences in regional economic prospects.

Many of Patrick's core manufacturing products are also utilized in the kitchen cabinet, high-rise, office and household furniture, hospitality, and fixtures and commercial furnishings 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, we believe that other residential and commercial segments have been less vulnerable to import competition, and therefore, provide opportunities for increased sales penetration and market share gains. After a relatively flat first half of 2023, multifamily housing starts experienced significant softness in the second half of 2023. Single-family housing starts began to recover in the second half of 2023 after declining significantly earlier in the year. Housing prices were resilient last year in the face of a continued elevated mortgage rates. The potential for interest rate cuts in 2024, combined with low inventory and high prices for existing homes for sale, may provide support for our industrial market in 2024, particularly if economic uncertainties recede.

Additional information about the Company’s sales to the industrial markets is included in the MD&A of this Form 10-K.

Strategic Acquisitions

The Company is focused on driving growth in 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 four primary markets it serves in order to further leverage its core competencies in manufacturing and distribution, diversify its end market exposure and presence, and expand its footprint outside of its core Midwest markets.

During 2023, the Company completed acquisitions for approximately $30 million of total consideration and over the last three years has completed acquisitions for approximately $804 million of total consideration. See Note 3 "Acquisitions" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further discussion of acquisitions completed by the Company in 2023, 2022 and 2021.

In January 2024, the Company announced that it completed its acquisition of Sportech, LLC, a leading designer and manufacturer of high-value, complex component solutions sold to powersports OEMs, adjacent market OEMs and the aftermarket. See Note 17 "Subsequent Events" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further discussion.

Competition

The RV, marine, MH and industrial markets are highly competitive, both among manufacturers and the suppliers of various 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, timely and reliable delivery, 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.

Capacity and Plant Expansions

Patrick has the ability to fulfill demand for certain products in excess of capacity at certain facilities by shifting production to other facilities. Capital expenditures for 2023 consisted of $59 million of investments primarily to provide more advanced manufacturing automation, replace and upgrade production equipment. Management regularly monitors capacity at its facilities and reallocates existing resources where needed to maintain production efficiencies throughout all of its operations and capitalize 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.

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

The Company's Design/Innovation Center and Showroom, The Studio, is 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, marine, MH and industrial customers to meet their creative design and product needs, including creating new styles and utilizing new colors, patterns, products, and materials 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.

Marine Studio

The Company's Marine Studio, located in Sarasota, Florida, is a comprehensive marine studio showroom, design and engineering center, which provides engineering and integrated design solutions for our marine customers. The 14,000 square foot facility includes a showroom that displays the Company's marine products as well as the marine design and engineering capabilities and services offered by our marine businesses.

Operating Brands

Through its operating brands, the Company provides customers with specific product knowledge, expertise and support that are 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, and support staff and strategic partnerships for each operating brand, which help drive efficiency and maximize value for its customers.

The Company’s research and development efforts are intended to maintain leadership positions in core products and provide the Company with a competitive edge as it seeks additional business with new and existing customers. The Company also works with technology development partners, including customers, to develop technological capabilities and new products and applications.

Marketing and Distribution

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately 4,400 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. Both Forest River and Thor have multiple businesses and brands that operate independently under the parent company and these multiple businesses and brands generally 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 29%, 38% and 42% of our consolidated net sales, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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 9%, 9%, and 8% of the Company's distribution segment’s sales were from products shipped directly from the suppliers to Patrick customers in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Typically, there is a two to four-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 material backlog of orders. However, this can fluctuate depending on overall market factors and each specific end market we serve. 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.

Raw materials are primarily commodity products, such as lauan, gypsum, particleboard and other softwood and hardwood lumber products, aluminum, copper, plastic 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 forecasting of customer orders. Our sales in the short-term could be negatively impacted in the event any unforeseen negative circumstances were to affect our 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.

As a result of COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors, the supply chain was previously impacted by increased commodity prices, decreased product availability, longer lead times and higher transportation costs, which resulted in increased raw material pricing from several of our suppliers. Patrick took steps to mitigate these supply chain constraints by carrying increased levels of inventory and partnering with suppliers to help secure adequate supplies of materials. Beginning in the second half of 2022 and throughout 2023, the Company reduced its inventory in alignment with lower OEM production levels. We believe that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s inventory levels are appropriately balanced with expected OEM production, and we will continue to manage inventory based on anticipated customer needs. Additionally, the Company continually explores alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from outside the 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, land 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 utilizes in the production process in the RV marketplace have been certified as to compliance 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 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.

Select raw materials are subject to tariffs and other import duties. For example, we have historically received benefits from duty-free imports on certain products from certain countries pursuant to the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences ("GSP") program. Additionally, we are subject to government regulations relating to importation activities, including related to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") withhold release orders.

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.

Seasonality

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 and marine open houses in the December-February timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, recent seasonal industry trends have been, and future trends may be, different than in prior years due to volatile economic conditions, interest rates, access to financing, cost of fuel, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and marine units and other products for which the Company sells its components, as well as fluctuations in RV and marine dealer inventories, increased volatility in demand from RV and marine dealers, the timing of dealer orders, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.

Human Capital Management

Our people are the heart of our business, and we allocate substantial resources to foster the well-being, success and growth of our team members in an inclusive and diverse environment which we believe is fundamental to our values and our service to our customers. As of December 31, 2023, our team members totaled approximately 10,000, of which 83% are hourly team members who serve our customers by producing and distributing products in our RV, marine, MH and industrial end markets, and 17% who are salaried employees who manage the resources, capital allocations, business decisions, and customer relationships of our end markets.

The majority of our team members work in our facilities to produce or distribute products for our customers. Our investment in human capital resources focuses on this environment to ensure their well-being and success. Our primary commitment to our team members in the production environment is to their safety, well-being and progress, and in this regard our human capital management programs focus on the following, in addition to our health care insurance and other employment benefits:

•Free assistance programs available to all team members and their families to address mental health and other matters which arise, which we believe are essential during periods of uncertainty;

•Tuition reimbursement programs available to all team members as they pursue educational opportunities;

•Leadership programs available to all employees that are designed to foster leadership and communication skills to advance team members to the next stage of their careers;

•Job safety analysis, which identifies risks unique to each production environment, training and empowering our team members to mitigate risks and develop workplace best practices;

•Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") preparedness, which involves site specific training development to educate and enable our team members to work safely and effectively;

•Industrial hygiene audits and testing, ensuring that our team members work in healthy environments with respect to air quality and noise reduction;

•Machine guarding and work area audits, which identify mechanical and non-mechanical improvements in the safety and well-being of the production environment;

•Train-the-trainer programs, which foster best-practice operational techniques for our team members to advance their capabilities to operate our facilities in the safest and most effective manner;

•Site-specific training development, which tailors customized training and consulting to the unique needs of the production environment;

•Ergonomic assessments for all team members, which accommodate each individual to work in the most effective and comfortable manner;

•Community involvement initiatives, such as our participation in Military Makeover and Care Camps, which provides our team members opportunities to give back to the communities in which we do business.

Our success is dependent on our ability to hire, retain, and engage highly qualified team members who serve our customers. In this regard, we aspire to be a merit-based organization that is inclusive and diverse, building a culture where our team members feel they belong. Our leadership development programs bring a diverse and energetic source of talent to lead the future of our organization, and our recruitment efforts strive to foster an inclusive culture that we believe strengthens our organization and our ability to serve our customers.

The organization is built on our six core foundational values of being BETTER Together:

•Balance - We work to build a healthy work environment that encourages excellence, happiness, and peace in both our work and our home life.

•Excellence - We strive to meet the highest possible standards of achievement in our work and our relationships.

•Trust - We do what we say we will do every time - and communicate with all stakeholders if a commitment evolves.

•Teamwork - We challenge, encourage, equip, empower, and inspire the individuals we work with.

•Empowerment - We give our team the information, tools, and trust they need to grow as leaders and achieve results.

•Respect - We treat our teammates and partners with the utmost honor and dignity.

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.

Risks Related to our Business

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, marine, 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.

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 and marine open houses in the December-February timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, recent seasonal industry trends have been, and future trends may be, different than in prior years due to the impact of COVID-19, volatile economic conditions, interest rates, access to financing, cost of fuel, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and marine units and other products for which the Company sells its components, as well as fluctuations in RV and marine dealer inventories, increased volatility in demand from RV and marine dealers, the timing of dealer orders, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.

If the financial condition of our customers and suppliers deteriorates, 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.

Our sales are materially 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 29% of our consolidated net sales in 2023. 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, marine models 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 material 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 2023 and 2022, the Company's net sales to the RV industry were approximately 43% and 53%, respectively, of consolidated net sales. While the Company measures its RV market 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 and consumer confidence. Declines in RV unit shipment levels or reductions in industry growth could materially reduce the Company’s revenue from the RV industry and have a material adverse impact on its operating results in 2024 and other future periods.

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

Restrictions on the availability of consumer and wholesale financing for RVs, marine products, and manufactured homes and increases in the costs of such financing have in the past limited, and could again limit, the ability of consumers and wholesale customers to purchase such products, which would result in reduced production 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 and wholesale customers 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 RV, marine, MH and industrial 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 regional demand 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, marine, MH and industrial 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.

Some of our competitors have greater financial resources or lower levels of debt or financial leverage and this may enable them to commit larger amounts of capital in response to changing market conditions. Further, 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, marine and MH industries as well as to the industrial markets we serve, we could lose customers and sales could decline, or we may not be able to improve or maintain profit margins on sales to customers or be able to continue to compete successfully in our core markets.

Our operating results can be adversely affected by inflation, changes in the cost or availability of raw materials, energy, transportation and other necessary supplies and services.

We are currently experiencing inflationary pressures on our operating costs. The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, fiberglass, particleboard, aluminum, softwoods and hardwoods lumber, resin, and petroleum-based products, are influenced by supply and demand and other factors specific to these commodities as well as general inflationary pressures, including those driven by supply chain and logistical disruptions. Pricing and availability of finished goods, raw materials, energy, transportation and other necessary supplies and services for use in the Company’s businesses can be volatile due to numerous factors beyond its control, including general, domestic and international economic conditions, natural disasters, labor costs, production levels, competition, consumer demand, import duties and tariffs, currency exchange rates, international treaties, and changes in laws, regulations, and related interpretations. Evolving trade policies could continue to make sourcing products from foreign countries difficult and costly, as the Company sources a significant amount of its products from outside of the United States.

In addition, prices of certain raw materials have historically been volatile and continued to fluctuate in 2023. During periods of volatile raw materials, energy and transportation costs, we have generally been able to pass both cost increases and decreases to our customers in the form of price adjustments, however, 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 materials, energy and transportation costs increases or decreases. Sustained price increases may lead to declines in volume as competitors may not adjust their prices or customers may decide not to pay the higher prices, which could lead to sales declines and loss of market share. While we seek to project tradeoffs between price increases and volume, our projections may not accurately predict the volume impact of price increases. As a result, fluctuations in raw materials, energy and transportation costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Supply chain issues, including financial problems of manufacturers or suppliers, or a shortage of adequate materials or manufacturing capacity that increase our costs or cause a delay in our ability to fulfill orders, could have an adverse impact on our business and operating results, and our failure to estimate customer demand properly may result in excess or obsolete inventory, which could adversely affect our gross margins.

Generally, our raw materials, supplies and energy requirements are obtained from various sources. These purchases include unformed materials and rough and finished parts. We are reliant on our extended supply chain and any disruption in this supply chain could have an adverse impact on our ability to deliver products to our customers on a timely and cost-effective basis. While alternative sources are available, our business would be materially adversely affected if we are unable to find alternative sources on a timely and cost-effective basis. A reduction or interruption in supply; a significant increase in the price of one or more materials; a failure to adequately authorize procurement of inventory by our manufacturers; or a failure to appropriately cancel, reschedule, or adjust our requirements based on our business and customer needs; could materially adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition and could materially damage customer relationships. If there are shortages of materials we need to manufacture our products, the price of these materials may increase, or these materials may not be available at all, and we may also encounter shortages if we do not accurately anticipate our needs. We may not be able to secure enough materials at reasonable prices or of acceptable quality to build new products in a timely manner in the quantities or configurations needed. Accordingly, our revenue and gross margins could suffer until other sources can be developed. Our operating results would also be adversely affected if, anticipating greater demand than actually develops, we commit to the purchase of more materials than we need, which is more likely to occur in a period of demand

uncertainties such as we are currently experiencing. There can be no assurance that we will not encounter these problems in the future. 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. A global economic downturn and related market uncertainty could negatively impact the availability of materials from one or more of these sources of these materials, especially during times such as we have recently seen when there are supplier constraints based on labor and other actions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We may not be able to diversify sources in a timely manner, which could harm our ability to deliver products to customers and seriously impact present and future sales. In addition, when facing component supply-related challenges, we have increased our efforts in procuring materials in order to meet customer expectations which in turn contribute to an increase in purchase commitments. Increases in our purchase commitments to shorten lead times could also lead to excess and obsolete inventory charges if the demand for our products is less than our expectations. If we fail to anticipate customer demand properly, an oversupply of parts could result in excess or obsolete components that could adversely affect our gross margins.

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

We purchase a material portion of our raw materials and other supplies from suppliers located in Indonesia, China, Malaysia and Canada. 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 U.S. 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 we do business due to a health epidemic or outbreak, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, 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. Any measures, or proposals to implement such 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. We maintain limited operations in Mexico, China and Canada but are nevertheless exposed to risks of operating in those countries associated with: (i) the difficulties and costs of complying with a wide variety of complex laws, treaties and regulations; (ii) unexpected changes in political or regulatory environments; (iii) earnings and cash flows that may be subject to tax withholding requirements or the imposition of tariffs, exchange controls, or other restrictions; (iv) political, economic, and social instability; (v) import and export restrictions and other trade barriers; (vi) responding to disruptions in existing trade agreements or increased trade tensions between countries or political or economic unions; (vii) maintaining overseas subsidiaries and managing international operations; and (viii) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Our business is subject to risks associated with importing products, and the imposition of additional duties, tariffs or trade restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

There are risks inherent to importing our products. Virtually all of our imported products are subject to duties which may impact the cost of such products. In addition, countries to which we ship our products may impose safeguard quotas to limit the quantity of products that may be imported. We rely on free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives in order to maximize efficiencies relating to product importation. For example, we have historically received benefits from duty-free imports on certain products from certain countries pursuant to the Generalized System of Preferences ("GSP") program. Although there appears to be continued bipartisan support of the GSP program, the provisions have not been renewed since they expired on December 31, 2020. If the GSP program is not renewed or otherwise made retroactive, we would recognize significant additional duties and profitability could be negatively impacted. The United States has imposed tariffs and export controls on certain goods and products imported from China and certain other countries, such as plywood, which has resulted in retaliatory tariffs by China and other countries. Additional tariffs imposed by the United States on a broader range of imports, or further retaliatory trade measures taken by China or other countries in response, could result in an increase in supply chain costs that we may not be able to offset or that may otherwise adversely impact our results of operations. Additionally, we are subject to government regulations relating to importation activities, including related to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") withhold release orders. The imposition of taxes, duties and quotas, the withdrawal from or material modification to trade agreements, and/or if CBP detains shipments of our goods pursuant to a withhold release order could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional tariffs or trade

restrictions are implemented by the U.S. or other countries, the cost of our products could increase which could adversely affect our business.

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

We generally do not have long-term supply contracts with our customers and, therefore, we must bear the risk of certain inventory commitments, based on our projections of future customer orders. We maintain an inventory to support these customers’ needs. During periods of sharp fluctuations in demand, whether increasing or decreasing due to macroeconomic factors, changes in end consumer demand, supply chain disruptions, public health emergencies, or other influences, some of our customers will make adjustments to the inventory levels they maintain and the purchases of our products. While responding to these changing dynamics in the end markets we serve, our inventory requirements will fluctuate up or down. If we are unable to adjust to our customers’ changing inventory needs and purchases of our products, our business could be adversely affected. 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.

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 operating facilities, we have experienced shortages of qualified employees, which has negatively impacted our costs in the past. While we are taking certain steps to automate aspects of our production and distribution, labor shortages and continued competition for qualified employees may increase the cost of our labor and create employee retention and recruitment challenges, especially during improving economic times, as employees with knowledge and experience have the ability to change employers more easily.

If demand for employees 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.

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

The products produced by the RV and marine industries 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 materially increase in the future. Shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel, and substantial increases in the price of fuel could have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.

Interruptions or disruptions in production at one of our key facilities could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

We operate manufacturing and distribution facilities across the continental United States. A significant interruption or disruption in operations at our locations resulting from severe weather conditions or natural disasters, including but not limited to hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, earthquakes or otherwise, could result in the disruption of the sourcing of materials, manufacturing of our products, or order fulfillment and, as a result, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If in the event of a natural disaster or other similar event, we may incur damages and incur losses as a result and be required to deploy additional unexpected capital expenditures in order to ensure facilities are functioning properly. These unplanned capital expenditures may interrupt other initiatives in the short term relating to our capital allocation strategy.

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 certain of its administrative, financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, distribution 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, financial reporting systems which do not integrate with the Company's existing financial reporting systems 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, material unexpected liabilities could arise from these acquisitions.

We may incur material 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 with the objective 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 material 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 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 71% of our total assets as of December 31, 2023 were comprised of goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use 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 these assets for impairment include changes in our estimated future cash flows, changes in rates of growth in our industry or in any of our businesses, 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. Material impairment charges, although not always affecting current cash flow, could have a material effect on our operating results and balance sheet.

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.

We could be impacted by potential effects of union organizing activities.

A small number of our North American employees are currently represented by a labor union. Any disruption in our relationship with such third-party associations could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified employees to meet current or future manufacturing demands at reasonable costs, if at all. Further unionization of any of our North American facilities could result in higher costs and increased risk of work stoppages. We are also, directly or indirectly, dependent upon business relationships with third parties having unionized work forces, including suppliers, customers and logistics companies, and strikes or work stoppages organized by such unions could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial conditions and operating results. Should a work stoppage occur, it could delay the manufacture, sale and distribution of our products and have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results 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 land, air, water and noise pollution. The implementation of new laws and regulations or amendments to existing regulations could materially 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, which could negatively impact our results of operations or financial condition.

We are subject to federal, state, local and certain international tax regulation. Changes thereto can have impacts on taxes paid, exposure to liabilities, and financial results of the Company.

While we seek to ensure the Company remains compliant with tax regulations in all jurisdictions in which we operate, new legislation or changes in existing legislation may result in changes to amounts owed for income, personal and real property taxes. These changes may negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows or increase the Company's effective tax rate.

We are also subject to the examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, states in which we conduct business, and other tax authorities. If our effective tax rates were to increase, or if the ultimate determination of our taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be adversely affected.

We could experience unusual or significant litigation, governmental investigations, or adverse publicity arising out of alleged defects in products, services, perceived environmental impacts, or otherwise.

We spend substantial resources ensuring that we comply with governmental safety regulations, consumer regulations and other standards, but we cannot ensure that employees or other individuals affiliated with us will not violate such laws or regulations. In addition, regulatory standards and interpretations may change on short notice and impact our compliance status. Moreover, compliance with governmental standards does not necessarily prevent individual or class action lawsuits, which can entail significant cost and risk. In certain circumstances, courts may permit civil actions even where our products and services comply with federal and/or other applicable law. Furthermore, simply responding to actual or threatened litigation or government investigations of our compliance with regulatory standards, whether related to our products, services, or business commercial relationships, requires significant expenditures of time and other resources. Litigation is also inherently uncertain, and we could experience significant adverse results, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, adverse publicity surrounding an allegation may cause significant reputational harm that could have a significant adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Public health emergencies, whether domestic or international, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Pandemics, epidemics or disease outbreaks in the U.S. or globally may have a material adverse effect on our business, employees, suppliers, customers, and the general economy. The full effect of these disruptions could be difficult to predict, and the estimated length of such disruptions may not be readily available to the Company given such an event is affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. In addition to the effects upon our operations, a health emergency could have, but is not limited to, the following impact:

•Decreases in consumer confidence and disposable income and increases in unemployment could reduce demand for our products by our customers in all of our end markets.

•Tightening credit standards could negatively impact credit availability to consumers which could have an adverse effect on all of our end markets.

•Supply chain and shipping interruptions and constraints, volatility in demand for our products caused by sudden and material changes in production levels by our customers or other restrictions affecting our business could adversely impact our planning and forecasting, our revenues and our operations.

•Disruptions in our manufacturing and supply arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential manufacturing and supply elements such as raw materials or other finished product components, transportation, workforce, or other manufacturing and distribution capabilities could result in shortages of materials, inflationary pressures, and our inability to meet our end market customer needs and achieve cost targets.

•Material changes in the conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell or distribute our products, including governmental or regulatory actions in response to such an event, could adversely impact operations necessary for the production, distribution, sale, and support of our products.

•Failure of third parties on which we rely, including our customers, suppliers, distributors, commercial banks, and other external business partners, to meet their obligations to the Company or to timely meet those obligations, or material disruptions in their ability to do so, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties, may adversely impact our operations.

•Certain of our customers may experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy or insolvency, as a result of such an event. If any of our customers suffer material financial difficulties, they may be unable to pay amounts due to us fully, partially, or timely. Further, we may have to negotiate material discounts and/or extended financing terms with these customers in such a situation. If we are unable to collect our accounts receivable as they come due, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.

•If we are unable to maintain normal operations, or subsequently are unable to resume normal operations in a timely fashion, our cash flows could be adversely affected, making it difficult to maintain adequate liquidity or meet debt covenants. As a result, the Company may be required to pursue additional sources of financing to meet our financial obligations and fund our operations and obtaining such financing is not guaranteed and is largely dependent upon market conditions and other factors.

•Disruptions to our operations related to a health emergency as a result of absenteeism by infected or ill members of management or other employees, or absenteeism by members of management and other employees who elect not to come to work due to the illness affecting others at our facilities, or due to quarantines.

•A public health emergency could lead to severe disruption and volatility in the U.S. and global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. In addition, trading prices in the public equity markets, including prices of our common stock, could be highly volatile as a result of such an event.

•Sustained adverse impacts to the Company, certain suppliers, and customers may also affect the Company’s future valuation of certain assets and therefore may increase the likelihood of an impairment charge, write-off, or reserve associated with such assets, including goodwill, indefinite and finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, tax assets, and other assets.

•Increasing raw material and labor costs relating to a public health emergency may also affect our profitability.

The ultimate impact of public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted and is dependent on future developments, including the duration of such an event and the length of its impact on the global economy, and the actions taken by governmental bodies to contain it or mitigate its impact.

Risks Related to Indebtedness

Our level and terms of indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and take advantage of new business opportunities and prevent us from meeting our obligations under our debt instruments.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $1.04 billion of total long-term debt, including current maturities and exclusive of deferred financing costs and debt discount, outstanding under our 2021 Credit Facility, 4.75% Senior Notes, 7.50% Senior Notes and 1.75% Convertible Notes (all as defined in Note 7 "Debt" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K).

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 increase 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.

In addition, our debt could have important consequences to us, including:

•increase our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions;

•require a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our liquidity and our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;

•expose us to the risk of increased interest rates, and corresponding increased interest expense, because borrowings pursuant to the credit agreement that established our revolving credit and term loan facility (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) are at variable rates of interest;

•reduce funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, due to the costs and expenses associated with such debt;

•limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions, and general corporate or other purposes; and

•limit our ability to adjust to changing marketplace conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who may have less debt.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations, which could cause us to default on our debt obligations and impair our liquidity. In the event of a default under any of our indebtedness, the holders of the defaulted debt could elect to declare all the funds borrowed to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, which in turn could result in cross-defaults under our other indebtedness The lenders under our 2021 Credit Agreement could also elect to terminate their commitments thereunder and cease making further loans, and such lenders could institute foreclosure proceedings against their collateral, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance which may be affected by factors beyond our control.

Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may be able to incur substantially more debt and enter into other transactions which could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above. We may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. Although the 2021 Credit Agreement and other debt instruments contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and entering into certain types of other transactions, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions. Additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. These restrictions also do not prevent us from incurring obligations, such as certain trade payables, that do not constitute indebtedness as defined under our debt instruments. To the extent we incur additional indebtedness or other obligations, the risks described in the risk factors related to our indebtedness and others described herein may increase.

The agreements covering our indebtedness contain various financial performance and other covenants. If we do not remain in compliance with these covenants, we could be in breach of our debt agreements and the amounts outstanding thereunder could become immediately due and payable.

The agreements governing our indebtedness contain financial and non-financial covenants with which we must comply that place restrictions on us. These restrictions will limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:

•incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations);

•incur liens;

•engage in mergers, consolidations and certain other fundamental changes;

•dispose of assets;

•make advances, investments and loans;

•engage in sale and leaseback transactions;

•engage in certain transactions with affiliates;

•enter into contractual arrangements that encumber or restrict the ability to (A) (i) pay dividends or make distributions, (ii) pay indebtedness, (iii) make loans or advances, or (iv) sell, lease or transfer property, in each case to us, or (B) incur liens;

•pay dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock or subordinated debt, and repurchase or retire capital stock, warrants or options or subordinated debt; and

•amend the terms of the documents governing, or make payments prior to the scheduled maturity date of, certain other indebtedness, as applicable.

As a result of these restrictions, we will be limited as to how we conduct our business and we may not be able to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. A potential failure to comply with these financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt instruments, which, among other things, require us to maintain specified financial ratios could, if not cured or waived, have a material adverse effect on our ability to fulfill our obligations under our indebtedness and on our business and prospects generally.

Our 2021 Credit Agreement contains covenants that require that we comply with a maximum level of a consolidated secured net leverage ratio and a minimum level of a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (both covenants as described in Note 7 "Debt" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K). There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the financial and other covenants under our 2021 Credit Agreement and other agreements governing our indebtedness. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our 2021 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. In the event of a default under any of our indebtedness, the holders of the defaulted debt could elect to declare all the funds borrowed to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, which in turn could result in cross-defaults under our other indebtedness. 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, our 2021 Credit Facility and other financing vehicles to finance our operating requirements, capital expenditures and other needs. If a material economic recession occurred, such as the recession that impacted the economy in 2007-2010, production of RVs, marine units and manufactured homes could decline materially, 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 2021 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.

We have letters of credit representing collateral for our casualty insurance programs and for general operating purposes that have been issued under our 2021 Credit Agreement. The inability to retain our current letters of credit, to obtain alternative letter of credit sources, or to retain our 2021 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.

The conditional conversion feature of the 1.75% Convertible Notes due 2028 that we issued in December 2021, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the "1.75% Convertible Notes") is triggered, holders of the 1.75% Convertible Notes will be entitled to convert the 1.75% Convertible Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their 1.75% Convertible Notes, we would be required to settle our conversion obligation equal to the aggregate principal amount of such converted notes through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their 1.75% Convertible Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the 1.75% Convertible Notes as a current rather than long-term liability. See Notes 8 "Derivative Financial Instruments" and 9 "Accrued Liabilities" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional details.

The convertible note hedge and warrant transactions may affect the value of the 1.75% Convertible Notes and our common stock.

In connection with the pricing of the 1.75% Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with certain of the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates (the “option counterparties”). At the same time, we entered into warrant transactions with the option counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the 1.75% Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be. However, the warrant transactions

could separately have a dilutive effect on our common stock to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants.

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the 1.75% Convertible Notes and prior to the maturity of the 1.75% Convertible Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of 1.75% Convertible Notes). This activity could cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock or the 1.75% Convertible Notes, which could affect a holder's ability to convert the 1.75% Convertible Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of 1.75% Convertible Notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that a holder will receive upon conversion of the 1.75% Convertible Notes.

Risks Related to Information Security, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy

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

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 or experience data loss or theft and 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 material technology investments to maintain and update our existing information technology systems. Implementing material 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 been, 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 destruction due to ransom attacks or malware 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. The Company currently carries insurance to cover exposure to this type of incident, but this coverage may not be sufficient to cover all potential losses. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend material 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 material data security breaches or fail to detect and appropriately respond to material data security breaches, we could be exposed to costly government enforcement actions and private litigation and our business and operating results could suffer.

Other Risks

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 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.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from international conflicts, such as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, or any other geopolitical tensions.

U.S. and global markets may experience volatility and disruptions resulting from geopolitical tensions or military conflict, such as the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The length and impact of geopolitical tensions or military conflict are highly unpredictable, and can lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. In addition, geopolitical tensions, military actions and any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital. The Company continually monitors ongoing geopolitical tensions and military conflicts to evaluate any potential impacts they may have on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

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 materially, independent of our actual operating performance. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate materially in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

•variations in our customers' and our competitors’ operating results;

•high concentration of shares held by institutional investors;

•announcements by us or our competitors of material 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 material 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.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity is critical to Patrick’s ability to drive its vision and operational initiatives. Patrick faces a range of cybersecurity threats including attacks common to most industries, such as ransomware and denial-of-service, and attacks from more advanced and persistent, highly organized adversaries. Our customers, suppliers, consultants and subcontractors face similar cybersecurity threats, and a cybersecurity incident impacting us or any of these entities could materially adversely affect our operations, performance and results of operations. These cybersecurity threats and related risks make it imperative that we remain vigilant and apprised of developments in the information security field, and we expend considerable resources on cybersecurity.

The Board of Directors oversees Management’s processes for identifying and mitigating risks, including cybersecurity risks, and to support alignment of our risk exposure with our strategic objectives. Senior leadership, including our Vice President – IT Operations and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), regularly briefs the Board of Directors on our cybersecurity and information security posture and the Board of Directors is apprised of cybersecurity incidents deemed to have a moderate or higher business impact, even if immaterial to us. In the event of an incident, we intend to follow our incident response protocol, which outlines the steps to be followed from incident detection to mitigation, recovery and notification, including notifying functional areas (e.g., legal), as well as senior leadership and the Board of Directors, as appropriate.

Our corporate information security organization, led by our CISO, is responsible for our overall information security strategy, policy, security engineering, operations and cyber threat detection and response. The corporate information security organization manages the Company's enterprise security structure with the ultimate goal of preventing cybersecurity incidents to the extent feasible, while simultaneously increasing our system resilience in an effort to minimize the business impact should an incident occur. Central to this organization is our carefully selected combination of security tools that concentrate on both perimeter and internal environments. These solutions are responsible for the protection, detection and response capabilities used in the defense of Patrick’s data and enterprise computing networks. Employees outside of our corporate information security organization also have a role in our cybersecurity defenses, which we believe improves our cybersecurity program.

The corporate information security organization has implemented a governance structure and process to assess, identify, manage and report cybersecurity risks. We also have a corporate-wide counterintelligence and insider threat detection program to proactively identify external and internal threats, and mitigate those threats in a timely manner. In addition to developing and implementing pre-existing third party frameworks, we have implemented our own practices and customized controls tailored to the Patrick enterprise environment. We believe this approach enhances our defense in depth stance while increasing our ability to identify, contain and manage cybersecurity risks.

Third parties also play a role in our cybersecurity program initiatives. We engage third-party services to conduct evaluations of our security controls, whether through penetration testing, independent audits or consulting on best practices to address new challenges. These evaluations include testing both the design and operational effectiveness of security controls.

Assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity related risks are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management process. Cybersecurity related risks are included in the risk universe that the enterprise risk management function evaluates to assess the top risks to the enterprise on an annual basis. To the extent the enterprise risk management process identifies a heightened cybersecurity related risk, "risk owners" are assigned to develop risk mitigation plans, which are then tracked to completion. The process’s annual risk assessment is presented to the Board of Directors.

We rely heavily on our supply chain to deliver our products and services to our customers, and a cybersecurity incident at a supplier, subcontractor or third-party partner could materially adversely impact us.

Notwithstanding the extensive approach we take to cybersecurity, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on us, but we do ensure all proper cybersecurity protocol and due diligence is applied across the organization. While Patrick maintains cybersecurity insurance, the costs related to cybersecurity threats or disruptions may not be fully insured. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a discussion of cybersecurity risks.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Patrick believes the facilities occupied as of December 31, 2023 are adequate for the purposes for which they are currently being used and are well-maintained. The Company may, as part of its strategic operating plan, further consolidate and/or close certain owned facilities and may not renew leases on property with near-term lease expirations. Use of our manufacturing and distribution facilities may vary with seasonal, economic, and other business conditions. Our primary corporate office is located in Elkhart, Indiana.

In 2023, the Company operated in 23 states in the U.S., Mexico, China and Canada. As of December 31, 2023, the Company leased approximately 10.1 million square feet of manufacturing, distribution and corporate facilities and owned approximately 2.9 million square feet, as listed below.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2021 Credit Agreement, most of our owned real property is subject to a security interest.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. In management's opinion, currently pending legal proceedings and claims against the Company will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Overview of Markets and Related Industry Performance

Recreational Vehicle ("RV") Industry

The RV industry is our primary market and comprised 43% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2023. Net sales to the RV industry decreased 42% in 2023 compared to 2022. Following a dealer inventory restocking in the first half of 2022, OEMs dramatically reduced production in the second half of 2022 and throughout 2023 as retail demand decreased and dealer inventory needs decreased, with the OEMs demonstrating operating discipline to maintain a balanced inventory channel for the long-term health and stability of the industry.

According to the RV Industry Association (“RVIA”), wholesale industry unit shipments totaled approximately 313,200 units in 2023, a decrease of 37% compared to approximately 493,300 units in 2022. RV industry retail unit sales totaled approximately 377,500 units in 2023, a decrease of 15% compared to 2022 retail unit sales of approximately 446,300 units according to Statistical Surveys, Inc. ("SSI").

Marine Industry

Net sales to the marine industry, which represented approximately 27% of the Company's consolidated net sales in 2023, decreased 11% in 2023 compared to 2022. Our marine revenue is generally correlated to marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments, which decreased 2% to approximately 192,300 units in 2023 compared to approximately 196,500 units in 2022, according to Company estimates based on data published by the National Marine Manufacturers Association ("NMMA"). Estimated marine retail powerboat shipments totaled approximately 178,100 units in 2023, a decrease of 5% compared to 2022 retail powerboat shipments of approximately 188,100 units, according to SSI as economic uncertainty and higher interest rates impacted demand.

Manufactured Housing ("MH") Industry

Net sales to the MH industry, which represented 16% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2023, decreased 19% in 2023 compared to 2022. MH sales are generally correlated to MH industry wholesale unit shipments. Based on industry data from the Manufactured Housing Institute, MH wholesale industry unit shipments totaled 89,200 units in 2023, a decrease of 21% compared to 2022 MH wholesale industry unit shipments of 112,900 units. Demand for MH units in 2023 was impacted by a decrease in housing affordability caused by elevated interest rates and higher raw material costs.

Industrial Market

The industrial market is comprised primarily of the solid surface countertop industry, kitchen cabinet industry, high-rise, hospitality, retail and commercial fixtures market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors. Net sales to this market represented 14% of our consolidated net sales in 2023, decreasing 14% in 2023 compared to 2022. Overall, our revenues in these markets are focused on the residential housing, hospitality, high-rise housing and office, commercial construction and institutional furniture markets. We estimate that approximately 70% to 80% of our industrial business is directly tied to the residential housing market, with the remaining industrial sales directly tied to the non-residential and commercial markets.

Combined new housing starts decreased 9% in 2023 compared to 2022, with single family housing starts decreasing 6% and multifamily residential starts decreasing 14% for the same period. 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.

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to 2022

Net Sales. Net sales in 2023 decreased approximately $1.41 billion, or 29%, to $3.47 billion from $4.88 billion in 2022. The decrease was attributable to a 42% decrease in net sales to our RV end market, a 11% decrease in net sales to our marine end market, a 19% decrease in net sales to our MH end market, and a 14% decrease in net sales to our industrial end market.

In 2023 and 2022, net sales attributable to acquisitions completed in each of those years was $17.7 million and $121.8 million, respectively.

The Company’s RV content per wholesale unit for 2023 decreased 9% to $4,800 from $5,257 in 2022. The Company's marine powerboat content per wholesale unit for 2023 decreased 5% to $4,803 from $5,032 in 2022. The Company's MH content per wholesale unit for 2023 increased 2% to $6,372 in 2023 from $6,243 in 2022.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold decreased $1.14 billion, or 30%, to $2.69 billion in 2023 from $3.82 billion in 2022. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased 90 basis points during 2023 to 77.4% from 78.3% in 2022.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased for 2023 compared to 2022 primarily as a result of (i) continued cost reduction and automation initiatives we deployed throughout 2022 and 2023 that positively impacted overall costs, (ii) improved labor efficiencies as a result of investment in human capital and improved retention rates, (iii) synergies and different cost profiles from acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022 and (iv) changes in certain commodity prices, partially offset by reduced sales volumes resulting in less favorable fixed cost absorption when compared to the prior year periods. For 2023, these factors contributed to a 50-basis point decrease in labor as a percentage of net sales and a 330-basis point decrease in materials cost as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a 300-basis point increase in overhead as a percentage of net sales due to lower sales volumes. In general, the Company's cost of goods sold percentage can be impacted from period-to-period 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 production.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $277.7 million or 26%, to $782.2 million in 2023 from $1,059.9 million in 2022. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 22.6% in 2023 from 21.7% in 2022. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in 2023 compared to 2022 reflects the impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”.

Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of our RV, marine, MH and industrial businesses include the costs of commodities and supply chain constraints and the labor used to manufacture our products, the competitive

environment and the impact of different gross margin profiles of acquired companies, all of which can cause gross margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses decreased $19.1 million, or 12%, to $143.9 million in 2023 from $163.0 million in 2022. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 4.1% in 2023 and 3.3% in 2022. The decrease in warehouse and delivery expenses is attributable to the decrease in sales, and the increase as a percentage of net sales is primarily attributed to the fixed nature of certain expenses such as personnel wages, building charges, fleet expense, insurance, and depreciation among others as well as a decrease in load efficiency.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses. SG&A expenses decreased $28.1 million, or 9%, to $299.4 million in 2023 from $327.5 million in 2022. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 8.6% in 2023 and 6.7% in 2022.

The decrease in SG&A expenses in 2023 compared to 2022 is primarily due to lower variable expenses, such as commissions, associated with the decrease in net sales. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales is primarily a result of the fixed nature of certain other expenses such as wages, payroll taxes, stock compensation, and insurance, as well as an increase in software and technology expenses. Additionally, certain 2022 and 2023 acquisitions operate with comparatively higher SG&A as a percentage of sales when compared to the consolidated percentage.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $5.5 million, or 8%, in 2023 compared to 2022. The increase in 2023 compared to 2022 reflects the impact of intangible assets of businesses acquired in 2023 and 2022.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $236.0 million, or 48%, to $260.2 million in 2023 from $496.2 million in 2022. Operating income in 2023 and 2022 included $1.0 million and $19.4 million, respectively, from the businesses acquired in each respective year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased 270 basis points to 7.5% in 2023 from 10.2% in 2022. The decrease in operating income and operating margin is primarily attributable to lower net sales and the items discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased $8.2 million, or 13%, to $68.9 million in 2023 from $60.8 million in 2022. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the increase in interest rates on our debt subject to variable interest rates and the repayment of our 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “1.00% Convertible Notes”) in February 2023, with borrowings under our revolving credit facility (the "Revolver due 2027") which has a comparatively higher interest rate, partially offset by lower average debt levels compared to 2022.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense decreased $58.9 million, or 55%, to $48.4 million in 2023 from $107.2 million in 2022 as a result of the decrease in pre-tax income and an increase in the effective tax rate. For 2023, the effective tax rate was 25.3% compared to 24.6% in 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2023 was mostly attributable to an increased impact from stock compensation Section 162(m) permanent addback.

See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of our consolidated operating results for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021.

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 Company estimates of industry unit volume, which are derived from third-party industry data. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

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 net sales and operating income.

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to 2022

Manufacturing

Net Sales. Sales decreased $1.03 billion, or 28%, to $2.65 billion in 2023 from $3.68 billion in 2022. This segment accounted for approximately 75% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2023 compared to approximately 74% of the Company's consolidated net sales in 2022. The sales decrease reflects decreased net sales across all of our end markets.

In 2023 and 2022, net sales attributable to acquisitions completed in each of those periods was approximately $3.6 million and $121.3 million, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $241.7 million, or 30%, to $577.3 million in 2023 from $819.0 million in 2022. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 21.8% in 2023 compared to 22.2% in 2022.

Gross profit margin decreased in 2023 compared to 2022 due to increases in labor and manufacturing overhead expense as a percentage of net sales primarily due to reduced sales volumes, partially offset by an improvement in material costs as a percentage of net sales.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $210.4 million, or 40%, to $321.1 million in 2023 from $531.5 million in 2022. Operating income for the manufacturing segment attributable to acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022 was approximately $(0.6) million and $19.4 million, respectively. The decrease in operating income primarily reflects the decrease in gross profit mentioned above.

Distribution

Net Sales. Sales decreased $398.2 million, or 31%, to $889.4 million in 2023 from $1,287.6 million in 2022. This segment accounted for approximately 25% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2023 compared to 26% of the Company's consolidated net sales in 2022. The decrease in sales in 2023 is attributed to decreased net sales across all of our end markets. In 2023 and 2022, net sales attributable to acquisitions completed in each of those periods was approximately $14.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $59.4 million, or 23%, to $195.5 million in 2023 from $254.9 million in 2022. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 22.0% in 2023 compared to 19.8% in 2022. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 2023 is primarily attributed to decreases in labor as a percentage of net sales partly offset by increases in material costs as a percentage of net sales.

Operating Income. Operating income in 2023 decreased $46.8 million, or 34%, to $90.1 million from $136.9 million in 2022. Operating income for the Distribution segment attributable to acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022 was immaterial. The decrease in operating income in 2023 primarily reflects the items discussed above.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

As presented in Note 16 "Segment Information" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, unallocated corporate expenses in 2023 decreased $26.7 million, or 27%, to $72.3 million from $99.0 million in 2022. The decrease in 2023 was mostly attributed to decreases in incentive compensation, wages, professional fees and amortization of inventory step-up adjustments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity as of December 31, 2023 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $11.4 million and $768.1 million of availability under our credit facility. The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, which includes selling its products and collecting receivables, available cash reserves and borrowing capacity available under the 2021 Credit Facility as discussed in Note 7 "Debt" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under its 2021 Credit Facility 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.

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, dividends and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, among others.

Working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV, marine, MH 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.

In February 2023, the Company utilized available borrowing capacity under the Revolver due 2027 and cash on hand to satisfy its repayment obligation at maturity for the 1.00% Convertible Notes. See Note 7 "Debt" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further discussion of the 1.00% Convertible Notes. Throughout the course of the year, the Company made payments on the Revolver due 2027, with the balance repaid in full as of December 2023.

In January 2024, the Company utilized available borrowing capacity under the Revolver due 2027 and cash on hand to fund its acquisition of Sportech, as discussed in Note 17 "Subsequent Events" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of and for the reporting period ended December 31, 2023, 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 December 31, 2023 and for the fiscal period then ended are as follows:


	Required	Actual
Consolidated secured net leverage ratio (12-month period)	2.75	0.27
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (12-month period)	1.50	3.01

In addition, as of December 31, 2023, the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio (12-month period) was 2.38. 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.

Cash Flows

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to 2022

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 decreased $3.0 million, or 1%, to $408.7 million in 2023 from $411.7 million in 2022 primarily due to a decrease in net income of $185.3 million, substantially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization of $13.7 million and a $98.9 million source of cash from operating assets and liabilities compared to a $60.7 million use of cash from operating assets and liabilities in the prior period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $235.0 million, or 73%, to $86.5 million in 2023 from $321.5 million in 2022 primarily due to a decrease in cash used in business acquisitions of $223.0 million and a decrease in cash used for capital expenditures of $20.9 million, partly offset by a $6.2 million decrease in cash received on disposals of property, plant, and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities increased $143.3 million to $333.6 million in 2023 compared to $190.3 million in 2022. The increase in cash flows used in financing activities was primarily due to the $172.5 million repayment of the 1.00% Convertible Notes and $25.6 million in net repayments on the Revolver due 2027, partially offset by a $58.3 million reduction in stock repurchases in 2023 compared to 2022.

See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

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 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 materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company’s acquisitions include purchased 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, patents and trademarks.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, representing acquired 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 material decline in our share price and market capitalization, a decline in expected future cash flows, or a material adverse change in the business climate. A material adverse change in the business climate could result in a material loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth.

Impairment reviews of goodwill are performed at the reporting unit level. The Company’s reporting units are defined as one level below our operating segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, which are the same as our reportable segments. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, either a qualitative or quantitative assessment is performed. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative assessment. When estimating reporting unit fair value with the quantitative assessment, the Company uses a combination of market and income-based methodologies. The market approach includes a comparison of the multiple of a reporting unit's carrying value to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization with the multiples of similar businesses or guideline companies whose securities are actively traded in the public markets. When calculating the present value of future cash flows under the income approach, the Company takes into consideration multiple variables, including forecasted sales volumes and operating income, current industry and economic conditions, and historical results. The income approach fair value estimate also includes estimates of long-term growth rates and discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting units and internally-developed forecasts.

Impairment reviews of indefinite-lived intangible assets (trademarks) consist of a comparison of the fair value of the trademark to its carrying value. Fair value is measured using a relief-from-royalty approach, a form of discounted cash flow method. Estimated royalty rates applied to projected revenues are based on comparable industry studies and consideration of operating margins. Discount rates are derived in a manner similar to what is done in testing goodwill for impairment.

Based on the results of the Company's analyses, the estimated fair value of each of the Company's reporting units and trademarks was determined to exceed the carrying value for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 and so no impairments were recognized. Further, based on the results of the impairment analyses, none of the Company’s reporting units or trademarks were at risk of failing the impairment assessments discussed above that would have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented.

Business Combinations. From time to time, we may enter into business combinations. We recognize the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. We measure goodwill as the excess of consideration transferred, which we also measure at fair value, over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition method of accounting requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding the fair values of the elements of a business combination as of the date of acquisition, including the fair values of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, contingent consideration and other financial assets and liabilities. Significant estimates and assumptions include subjective and/or complex judgments regarding items such as discount rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, and other factors, including estimated future cash flows that we expect to generate from the acquired assets.

The acquisition method of accounting also requires us to refine these estimates over a measurement period not to exceed one year to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. If we are required to adjust provisional amounts that we have recorded for the fair values of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, these adjustments could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. No changes in the year ended December 31, 2023 to provisional fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions were material. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop the acquisition date fair value estimates, we could record future impairment charges. In addition, we estimate the economic lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If our estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be increased or decreased, or the acquired assets could be impaired.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Debt Obligations

As of December 31, 2023, our total debt obligations under our 2021 Credit Agreement were under Secured Overnight Financing Rate Data ("SOFR")-based interest rates. A 100-basis point increase in the underlying SOFR rates would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $1.3 million, assuming average borrowings during 2023, including the Term Loan due 2027, subject to variable rates were equal to the amount of such borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2023, or $129.4 million, excluding deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan due 2027.

Commodity Volatility

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, fiberglass, particleboard, aluminum, softwoods and hardwoods lumber, resin, and petroleum-based products, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities as well as general inflationary pressures, including those driven by supply chain and logistical disruptions. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile and continued to fluctuate in 2023. 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 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) or 15d-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 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 our 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. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, audited our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, 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, 2023.

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, 2023 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

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Patrick Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, 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, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

Basis for Opinions

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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. 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.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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.

F-2

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.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill – Fiberglass Reporting Unit – Refer to Notes 1 and 6 to the Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. When calculating the present value of future cash flows under the income approach, the Company takes into consideration forecasted sales volumes, operating income, and a discount rate. The Company uses a market approach as a secondary valuation method to evaluate the income approach. The market approach includes a comparison of multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the reporting unit to similar businesses or guideline companies whose securities are actively traded in public markets. The estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit was determined to exceed the carrying value for the year end December 31, 2023, and so no impairment was recognized.

We identified goodwill for the Fiberglass Reporting Unit as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the Fiberglass Reporting Unit and the difference between its fair value and carrying value. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to selection of the discount rate and forecasts of future revenue and operating margin, specifically due to the sensitivity of the Fiberglass Reporting Unit’s operations.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the discount rate and forecasts of sales and operating income used by management to estimate the fair value of certain reporting units included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of the Fiberglass Reporting Unit related to management’s selection of the discount rates and forecasts of sales and operating income.

•We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast sales and operating income by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.

•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s sales and operating income assumptions included in the income approach model, and the extent to which forecast projection risk had been contemplated in the selection of the discount rate by comparing the forecasts to historical sales and operating income.

•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and discount rate by testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate, the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.
