Patrick Industries, Inc. Reports Second Quarter and Six Months 2010 Financial Results

ELKHART, IN. – August 2, 2010 – Patrick Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: PATK), a major manufacturer and distributor of building and component products for the recreational vehicle (RV), manufactured housing (MH) and industrial markets, today reported increased sales and net income for the second quarter and six months ended June 27, 2010.

For the second quarter of 2010, Patrick reported a 50% increase in net sales to $83.9 million from $55.9 million in the 2009 period, based largely on improving conditions in the RV industry. According to industry associations, wholesale unit shipments in the RV industry, which represented approximately 57% of the Company's sales in the quarter, increased approximately 80% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year period. The Company estimates that unit shipments in the MH industry, which represented approximately 29% of sales in the second quarter of 2010, were up approximately 13% from the second quarter of 2009, marking the first quarter-over-quarter increase in unit shipments since 2006. The industrial market sector, which is tied to the residential housing market, accounted for approximately 14% of the Company's second quarter sales.

"Overall, we are pleased with our second quarter results. Sales levels were strong throughout the quarter reflecting the positive contribution of improved production levels in the RV industry and additional sales volumes related to the cabinet door business we acquired earlier this year," said Todd Cleveland, President and CEO. "In addition, we continue to closely monitor our fixed and variable overhead costs and our operating expenses in relation to increased sales volumes to ensure we have our organization sized appropriately. During the second quarter, our gross profit increased 59% compared to the prior year, reflecting both the higher sales level and an increase in our gross profit margin from 10.9% to 11.6%. At the same time, total operating expenses as a percent of net sales improved to 8.2% from 9.9% in 2009."

The Company reported second quarter 2010 net income of $1.9 million or $0.19 per diluted share, marking improvement from a net loss of $0.7 million or $0.07 per diluted share in 2009. Second quarter 2010 net income included a non-cash credit of approximately $0.3 million or $0.04 per diluted share related to mark-to-market accounting for common stock warrants. Second quarter 2009 net income included the positive impact of income from discontinued operations of approximately $0.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share, which was offset by a non-cash charge of approximately $0.5 million or $0.05 per diluted share related to stock warrant accounting.

For the first six months of 2010, Patrick reported a 46% increase in net sales to $147.4 million from $100.8 million in 2009. The RV industry, which represented approximately 59% of the Company's year to date sales, saw wholesale unit shipments increase 87% in the first six months of 2010 compared to the prior year. The Company estimates that unit shipments in the MH industry,

which represented approximately 27% of sales in the first six months of 2010, were up approximately 6% from 2009. The industrial market sector, which accounted for approximately 14% of the Company's six months sales, saw an increase in new housing starts of approximately 14% for the first six months of 2010 when compared to the prior year. The new housing starts increase is not expected to impact the Company's industrial revenue base until late in 2010 and into 2011 as our sales to this market generally lag new residential housing starts by six to twelve months.

"Our improved sales performance in the RV industry thus far in 2010, coupled with a reduced overall cost structure, positioned the Company to increase operating income over the prior year. The cost of sales in the first half of the year benefited from the absorption of fixed costs over a larger sales base, operating efficiencies, and our diligence in keeping operating costs aligned with our revenue base and operating needs," Cleveland further stated.

For the first six months of 2010, Patrick reported net income of $2.8 million or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million or $0.53 per diluted share for 2009. Six months 2010 net income included an after-tax net gain of approximately $2.8 million or $0.29 per diluted share, on the sale of the Company's Oregon and California facilities. Six months 2009 net income included the positive impact of income from discontinued operations of approximately $0.8 million or $0.09 per diluted share, which was partially offset by a non-cash charge of approximately $0.4 million or $0.04 per diluted share related to accounting for stock warrants. A net gain on the sale of certain assets and business of American Hardwoods, Inc. of $0.3 million after-tax or $0.03 per diluted share was included in the discontinued operations results for 2009.

"Although we are encouraged by the improvements seen in both the RV and MH industries during the first half of 2010, we remain cautious as we still face challenges in the industries we serve due to the impact of continuing tight credit markets, high unemployment and significant increases in raw materials costs. We will continue to focus our efforts throughout the remainder of 2010 on debt reduction, cash management, revenue expansion and new product development while executing on our organizational strategic agenda and driving our 'Customer First' performance oriented culture," said Mr. Cleveland.
