Net sales for the second quarter of 2012 increased $33.0 million or 39.9%, to $115.6 million from $82.6 million in the same quarter of 2011. The sales increase reflected a 61% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry and a 15% increase in revenue from the MH industry, which represented approximately 69% and 20% of second quarter 2012 net sales, respectively. Approximately $16.2 million of the revenue increase was attributable to four acquisitions completed since mid-June 2011, with the remaining $16.8 million increase primarily attributable to increased RV market penetration and a 4% increase in quarterly wholesale unit shipments in the RV industry, as estimated by the Company. Additionally, the Company estimates wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry increased approximately 12% from the second quarter of 2011. Sales to the industrial market sector, which is primarily tied to the residential housing and commercial and retail fixture markets, accounted for 11% of the Company’s second quarter 2012 sales. The industrial market experienced a 29% increase in new housing starts in the quarter compared to the prior year period.

The Company reported net income in the second quarter of 2012 of $13.3 million or $1.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.7 million or $0.36 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011. Second quarter 2012 net income was positively impacted by a non-cash credit of $6.7 million or $0.61 per diluted share related to the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance discussed below, which was partially offset by a non-cash charge of $0.1 million or $0.01 per diluted share related to mark-to-market accounting for common stock warrants.

Second quarter 2011 net income included a non-cash credit of $0.3 million or $0.03 per diluted share related to mark-to-market accounting for common stock warrants and a net gain on the sale of fixed assets and on the acquisition of a business of $0.2 million or $0.02 per diluted share, which were partially offset by a non-cash charge of $0.2 million or $0.02 per diluted share for the write-off of financing costs related to the refinancing of Patrick’s previous credit facility.

As the Company has generated taxable income, it has been reversing the tax valuation allowance previously recorded on its net deferred tax assets resulting in an effective tax rate of 0% for the first six months of 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company determined that it was likely that the remaining net deferred tax assets would be realized based upon sustained profitability and forecasted future operating results. As a result, the Company reversed approximately $6.7 million of the valuation allowance, with the reversal recorded as a non-cash income tax credit in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the second quarter and six months ended July 1, 2012. The Company expects that the balance

“We continue to focus on growing our market share in all three of our primary markets through new product introductions, line extensions, and innovative creativity and expertise from our sales team, product managers, and in-house design department that capitalize on our ‘Customer First’ culture and mission,” said Todd Cleveland, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we believe the acquisitions completed since June 2011 will continue to provide positive contributions to our operating profitability and allow us to gain additional penetration in the RV and industrial market sectors.”

Net sales for the first six months of 2012 increased approximately $66.2 million or 43.5%, to $218.3 million from $152.1 million in the same period in 2011. Approximately $27.8 million of the sales increase was attributable to the acquisitions completed since mid-June 2011. In addition, increased RV shipment levels over the prior year and improved retail fixture and residential furniture sales in the industrial market positively impacted revenue growth on a year-to-date basis. As estimated by the Company, wholesale unit shipments in the RV industry, which represented 69% of the Company’s year-to-date sales, increased approximately 7% in the first six months of 2012 compared to the prior year period. The Company estimates that wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry, which represented 19% of the Company’s six months sales, were up approximately 20% from 2011. The industrial market sector, which accounted for 12% of the Company’s six months sales, saw new housing starts increase by approximately 27% for the first six months of 2012 compared to the prior year.

For the first six months of 2012, Patrick reported net income of $18.3 million or $1.70 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.5 million or $0.24 per diluted share in the same period in 2011. Six months 2012 net income included the non-cash credit of $6.7 million or $0.62 per diluted share related to the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance described above, and a non-cash charge of $1.8 million or $0.17 per diluted share related to mark-to-market accounting for common stock warrants. Six months 2011 net income included non-cash charges related to the refinancing of Patrick’s previous credit facility, including $0.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share for the write-off of the remaining unamortized loss on interest rate swaps that were terminated and paid off during the first quarter and the write-off of $0.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share of financing costs. These 2011 charges were partially offset by the positive impact of a net gain on the sale of fixed assets and on the acquisition of a business of $0.3 million or $0.03 per diluted share.

On June 29, 2012, in conjunction with the Company’s projected cash flows and expected working capital needs, the Company exercised its option to prepay 10%, or $770,000 in the aggregate, of the original principal amount of both its 10% and 13% secured senior subordinated notes due in 2016, at a price of 101% of the principal amount being prepaid plus accrued interest. In the first six months of 2012, the Company prepaid a total of $1,540,000 principal amount of these notes and reduced its total debt by approximately $7.6 million.

“We are pleased with our operational and financial performance through the first half of 2012 and continue to execute on our organizational strategic agenda by making targeted capital investments and acquisitions, including our recently announced acquisition of Gustafson Lighting in Elkhart, which represents our fifth acquisition in thirteen months,” said Mr. Cleveland. “We remain focused on strategically leveraging our operating platform, resources, personnel, liquidity, and expertise to bring the highest level of quality products and service to our customers, which will in turn drive shareholder value.”
