Third Quarter 2026 Highlights (compared to Third Quarter 2025 unless otherwise noted)
•Net sales were $975 million compared to $976 million in the prior-year period. Strong revenue performance in Powersports (+30%) and Marine (+14%), along with Housing revenue growth of 4%, nearly offset a 15% decrease in RV revenue.
•Operating income was $50 million and operating margin was 5.1%, compared to operating income of $66 million and operating margin of 6.8% in the prior-year period.
•Adjusted operating margin1, which excludes merger-related expenses, restructuring costs and other non-recurring items, was 6.8%, flat when compared to the prior-year period.
•Net income was $21 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.64.
•Adjusted net income1 was $34 million compared to $35 million. Adjusted diluted EPS1 was $1.03 compared to $1.01.
•Reported and adjusted diluted EPS1 include the dilutive impact of convertible notes and related warrants of approximately $0.03 per share, compared to $0.07 per share in the prior-year period.
•Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 3% to $116 million and adjusted EBITDA margin1 expanded 40 basis points to 11.9%.
•On a year-to-date basis, cash flow provided by operating activities was $147 million compared to $199 million in the prior-year period. Free cash flow1 was $203 million, on a trailing twelve-month basis.
•Returned $15 million to shareholders through regular quarterly dividends.
•Available liquidity was $716 million at the end of the third quarter; total net leverage ratio was 2.9x.
•As previously announced, on June 30, 2026 the Company signed a definitive agreement with LCI Industries to combine in an all-stock merger. The Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 was declared effective by the SEC on October 19, 2026 and the Company will hold a special meeting of shareholders on November 18, 2026. More information can be found at www.PatrickandLippertTogether.com.
“Our strategic market diversification and business model, in addition to our focus on innovation and product solutions for customers, continued to drive resilient results in the third quarter," said Andy Nemeth, Chief Executive Officer. "Our team drove revenue growth in our Marine, Powersports, and Housing businesses, delivering consolidated net sales in line with the prior year, despite lower revenue in our RV business resulting from a decline in RV industry wholesale unit shipments. We remain focused on managing what is in our control, including making strategic adjustments to preserve the capacity, capabilities, and talent needed to serve our customers today and in the future. We are continuing to drive our capital allocation strategy as a result of our strong cash flow generation to invest in strategic opportunities that we believe can deliver meaningful value for our customers, team members, and shareholders over the long-term.”
Net sales were $975 million compared to $976 million in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting the positive impact of Patrick's diversified end market strategy. The Company’s Marine, Powersports, and Housing end markets reported revenue growth that nearly offset lower RV end market revenue, driven by soft RV industry wholesale unit shipments. The growth in Marine revenue was driven by growth in estimated content per unit and estimated wholesale powerboat industry unit shipments, while Powersports benefited from continued solid demand for utility-focused units and stronger attachment rates for cab enclosures.

Operating income was $50 million compared to $66 million in the third quarter of 2025. Operating margin was 5.1% compared to 6.8% in the same period last year.
Excluding the impact of merger-related expenses, restructuring costs and other non-recurring items, adjusted operating margin1 of 6.8% was flat when compared to the third quarter of 2025.
Net income was $21 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to $35 million, or $1.01 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income1 in the third quarter of 2026 was $34 million, or $1.03 per diluted share1, compared to adjusted net income1 of $35 million, or $1.01 per diluted share1 in the prior-year period. Reported and adjusted diluted EPS1 in the third quarter of 2026 include approximately $0.03 of dilution from the Company's convertible notes and related warrants compared to $0.07 in the prior-year period.
Jeff Rodino, President, said, “Our markets remain dynamic with continued macroeconomic headwinds, including high interest rates, elevated fuel costs and inflation, resulting in a further softening in consumer confidence. In Marine, our team has been successful in gaining content through new product and solution innovation, while benefitting from relative strength at the premium end of the market. Our Powersports business continued to see sustained strength in utility vehicle demand, which aligns well with our cab enclosure offerings. RV OEMs and dealers have remained disciplined in managing field inventory levels in response to lower retail demand. Importantly, we continue to invest in advanced manufacturing and innovation to bring new products and solutions to market. This quarter, we launched Patrick Printing Solutions, a direct-to-panel printing platform that applies high-resolution graphics and physical textures directly onto composite, wood, and other substrates, giving customers greater design flexibility and the ability to differentiate across both value and premium price points.”

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
For the first nine months of 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $147 million compared to $199 million in the prior-year period. This change reflects strategic working capital deployment to support the Company’s composite products growth strategy, and proactive inventory management for customers. Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $19 million in the third quarter of 2026, highlighting the Company’s investment in technology, advanced automation, and other initiatives that are expected to enhance our long-term operating strategy. On a trailing twelve-month basis, free cash flow1 through the third quarter of 2026 was $203 million compared to $211 million in the prior-year period.
Patrick returned $15 million to shareholders in the form of regular quarterly dividends during the third quarter of 2026. Due to restrictions related to the previously announced merger agreement with LCI Industries, Patrick did not repurchase shares during the quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the Company had $62 million of unused capacity under its current share repurchase authorization.
Total debt at the end of the third quarter was approximately $1.4 billion, resulting in a total net leverage ratio of 2.9x (as calculated in accordance with the Company's credit agreement). Available liquidity, comprised of borrowing availability under the Company's credit facility and cash on hand, was approximately $716 million.
Business Outlook and Summary
“We continue to advance Patrick’s full-solutions vision by combining innovative products and components, differentiated technologies, and advanced manufacturing capabilities, even as the near-term demand environment remains uneven,” continued Mr. Nemeth. “The benefits of the expanded products and solutions we bring to our customers, in alignment with our engineering and design capabilities, are intended to compound over time and we believe they will enhance our financial performance while allowing for better partnerships with customers to help address product affordability for the end consumer. In addition, we are investing in engineering and emerging technologies, including prudent AI expenditures, that we expect will deepen our connection to the markets we serve, sharpen our ability to collaborate with OEM customers, and help shape the next generation of experiences for outdoor enthusiasts. As we begin to shift our focus to 2027, we remain excited about the value-added opportunity related to our pending all-stock merger with LCI Industries, which we believe will enhance our existing strategy and vision as well as the long-term value proposition for our customers, our team members, our shareholders, and the communities we serve. We are committed to being great partners to our customers and team members and good stewards to our markets and ecosystem. Finally, I want to thank our team members for their unwavering commitment to Patrick’s BETTER Together values and executing against our strategic initiatives, which we believe will drive long-term profitable growth and value for our stakeholders.”

Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also provides financial metrics, such as net leverage ratio, content per unit, free cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share ("adjusted diluted EPS"), adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and available liquidity, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to U.S. GAAP. Our computations of net leverage ratio, content per unit, free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and available liquidity may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. We calculate available liquidity by taking our revolving credit facility capacity, subtracting the outstanding revolver balance and outstanding letters of credit, and adding cash and cash equivalents. Content per unit metrics are generally calculated using our market sales divided by Company estimates based on third-party measures of industry volume. We calculate EBITDA by adding back depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, and income taxes to net income. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by taking EBITDA and adding back stock-based compensation, acquisition-related transaction costs, merger-related costs, restructuring and related costs, loss on sale of business unit, legal settlement, loss on sale of property, plant and equipment and subtracting out the gain on sale of property, plant and equipment.
Adjusted net income is calculated by removing the impact of acquisition-related transaction costs, net of tax, legal settlement, net of tax, merger-related costs, net of tax, restructuring and related costs, net of tax and the loss on sale of business unit, net of tax. Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by our diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted operating margin is calculated by removing the impact of acquisition-related transaction costs, merger-related costs, restructuring and related costs and loss on sale of business unit. We calculate free cash flow by subtracting cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment from net cash provided by operating activities. RV wholesale unit shipments are provided by the RV Industry Association. Marine wholesale unit shipments are Company estimates based on data provided by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. MH wholesale unit shipments are Company estimates based on data provided by the Manufactured Housing Institute. Housing starts are provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
