Patrick Industries, Inc., which was founded in 1959 and incorporated in Indiana in 1961, is a major manufacturer of component products and distributor of building products and materials for the recreational vehicle (“RV”) and manufactured housing (“MH”) industries. In addition, we are a supplier to certain other industrial markets, such as kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, marine, and other industrial markets. We manufacture a variety of products including decorative vinyl and paper laminated panels, solid surface, granite and quartz countertops, fabricated aluminum products, wrapped vinyl, paper and hardwood profile mouldings, slide-out trim and fascia, cabinet doors and components, hardwood furniture, fiberglass bath fixtures, fiberglass and plastic component products including front and rear caps and marine helms, softwoods lumber, interior passage doors, RV painting, simulated wood and stone products, and slotwall panels and components, among others.

We are also an independent wholesale distributor of pre-finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall finishing products, electronics, wiring, electrical and plumbing products, cement siding, fiber reinforced polyester (“FRP”) products, interior passage doors, roofing products, laminate and ceramic flooring, shower doors, furniture, fireplaces and surrounds, interior and exterior lighting products, and other miscellaneous products. We have a nationwide network of manufacturing and distribution centers for our products, thereby reducing in-transit delivery time and cost to the regional manufacturing plants of our customers. We believe that we are one of the few suppliers to the RV and MH industries that has such a nationwide network. At December 31, 2015, we maintained 42 manufacturing plants and 16 warehouse and distribution facilities in 11 states.

Approximately 80% and 84% of our consolidated net sales in 2015 and 2014, respectively, were decorative interior products and components, consisting primarily of manufactured panels, mouldings and trim, hardwood and pressed doors, furniture and fascia, countertops, and fiberglass products. We have no material patents, licenses, franchises, or concessions and do not conduct significant research and development activities.

Over the last three years, we have executed on a number of strategic initiatives including: the completion of 10 acquisitions, the introduction of over 360 new products and product line extensions, the implementation of a branding strategy, increasing our market share, maintaining an appropriate level of leverage, investing in property, plant and equipment, operational restructuring at certain manufacturing and distribution facilities, disposition of underperforming operations and facilities, and aggressive management of inventory levels to changes in sales levels. The combination of improving economic conditions, particularly in the RV industry, and the execution of the strategic initiatives identified above, among others, resulted in our sales, operating income, net income and cash flows improving significantly in the three years ended December 31, 2015. In the Executive Summary section of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we provide an overview of the impact that macroeconomic conditions had on our operations and in the RV, MH and industrial markets in 2015.

We have continued to expand the breadth and the depth of our products and services through the integration of new and innovative product lines designed to bring value to our customers and create additional scale advantages. See “Strategic Acquisitions and Expansion” below and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for further details.

Patrick had two reportable operating segments in 2015, Manufacturing and Distribution. Financial information about these operating segments is included in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and incorporated herein by reference.

The RV and MH industries are highly competitive with low barriers to entry, which carries through to the suppliers to these industries. Across the Company’s range of products and services, competition exists primarily on price, product features, quality and service. Several competitors compete with us in each product line on a regional and local basis. However, in order for a competitor to compete with us on a national basis, we believe that a substantial capital commitment and investment in personnel and facilities would be required. The industrial markets that we serve are also highly competitive.

Given the environment in the industries in which we operate, the Company has identified several operating strategies to maintain or enhance earnings through strategic acquisitions, productivity initiatives, expansion into new product lines, and optimization of capacity utilization.

We believe that we have developed strong working relationships with our customers and suppliers, and have oriented our business to their needs. Our customers include all of the larger RV and MH manufacturers and a number of large to medium-sized industrial customers. The majority of our industrial customers are generally directly linked to the residential housing markets. Our RV and MH customers generally demand competitive prices, high quality standards, short lead times, and a high degree of flexibility from their suppliers. Our industrial customers typically are less price sensitive than our RV and MH customers, and are focused on consistent high quality products, exceptional customer service, and quick response times.

Our capital allocation strategy includes a balance of managing and utilizing our resources and leverage position to continue to grow and invest in the business model through strategic acquisitions, investment in infrastructure and capital expenditures to ensure both capacity and technology to support anticipated growth needs, and stock repurchases, among others. Additionally, because of the short lead times, which can include same day order, receipt and delivery, we continue to focus on managing our inventory levels to achieve a balance between increasing inventory turns and ensuring we have product on hand to meet customer demand levels.

As we explore new markets and industries, we believe that our core competencies and focus on executing on our strategic plan provide us with a strong foundation for future growth. In 2015, approximately 75% of our net sales were to the RV industry, 14% to the MH industry, and 11% to the industrial markets. In 2014, approximately 74% of our net sales were to the RV industry, 15% to the MH industry, and 11% to the industrial markets. The increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV market relative to the growth in the other primary market sectors in which Patrick operates, the introduction of new products to the marketplace, and the impact of the acquisitions completed in the last three years have led to an increase in our RV market sales concentration through 2015 when compared to prior periods.

We supply a broad variety of building materials and interior decorative component products to the RV, MH and industrial markets. With our nationwide manufacturing and distribution capabilities and capacities, we believe that we are well positioned for continued market improvement in all industry sectors and the introduction of new products to further bring value to our customer base. In order to facilitate this initiative, we are focused on driving growth in all three of our primary markets through the acquisition of companies with strong management teams with a strategic fit to our core values, business model and customer presence, as well as additional product lines, facilities, or other assets to complement or expand our existing businesses. We believe there continue to be acquisition opportunities in all three primary markets that we serve.

From 2013 to 2015, we invested approximately $229 million, in the aggregate, to complete a total of 10 acquisitions, which directly complemented our core competencies and product lines. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the 2013 acquisitions.

In 2014, we invested approximately $72 million to complete four acquisitions: Precision Painting, Inc., Carrera Custom Painting, Inc., and Millennium Paint, Inc., three related full service exterior full body painting operations that offer exterior painting and interior refurbishing for both original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and existing RV and fleet owners, and TDM Transport, Inc., a transportation operation that services their in-house customers (collectively referred to as “Precision Painting Group” or “Precision”); Foremost Fabricators, LLC (“Foremost”), a fabricator and distributor of fabricated aluminum products, FRP sheet and coil, and custom laminated products primarily used in the RV market; PolyDyn3, LLC (“PolyDyn3”), a custom fabricator of simulated wood and stone products for the RV market; and Charleston Corporation (“Charleston”), a manufacturer of fiberglass and plastic components primarily used in the RV, marine, and vehicle aftermarket industries.

In 2015, we invested approximately $140 million to complete three acquisitions: Better Way Partners, LLC d/b/a Better Way Products (“Better Way”), a manufacturer of fiberglass front and rear caps, marine helms and related fiberglass components primarily used in the RV, marine and transit vehicle markets; Structural Composites of Indiana, Inc. (“SCI”), a manufacturer of large, custom molded fiberglass front and rear caps and roofs, primarily used in the RV market, and specialty fiberglass components for the transportation, marine and other industrial markets; and North American Forest Products, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, North American Moulding, LLC (collectively, “North American”), a manufacturer and distributor, primarily for the RV market, of profile wraps, custom mouldings, laminated panels and moulding products. North American is also a manufacturer and supplier of raw and processed softwoods products primarily used in the RV and MH industries.

In February 2016, we invested approximately $25 million to acquire Parkland Plastics, Inc. (“Parkland”), a fully integrated designer, green manufacturer and distributor of innovative polymer-based products including wall panels, lay-in ceiling panels, coated and rolled floors, protective moulding, and adhesives and accessories, primarily for the RV industry and the architectural and industrial markets.

In March 2016, we invested approximately $11 million to acquire The Progressive Group (“Progressive”), a distributor and manufacturer’s representative for major name brand electronics to a customer base primarily consisting of small, mid-size and large retailers, distributors, and custom installers primarily serving the auto and home electronics, retail, custom integration, and commercial channels.

While we continually seek to improve our position as a leading supplier to the RV and MH industries, we are also seeking to expand our product lines into other industrial, commercial, and institutional markets. Many of our products, such as countertops, hardwood and pressed cabinet doors, laminated panels and mouldings, drawer sides and fronts, slotwall, and shelving, have applications in the kitchen cabinet, retail fixtures, household furniture, and architectural markets. We have a dedicated sales force focused on increasing our industrial market penetration and on our diversification into additional commercial and institutional markets.

We believe that diversification into other industrial markets provides opportunities for improved operating margins with complementary products that increase our capacity utilization. In addition, we feel that our nationwide manufacturing and distribution capabilities have enabled us to be well positioned for new product expansion.

Additionally, we may explore strategic acquisition opportunities that are not directly tied to the three primary markets we serve in order to further leverage our core competencies in manufacturing and distribution and to diversify our end market exposure and presence.

Certain manufacturing and distribution operating facilities were either consolidated or expanded during 2014 and 2015 in an effort to continue to improve operating efficiencies in the plants through increased capacity utilization. In 2014, we closed our leased distribution facility in Madisonville, Tennessee and consolidated the business into the existing Mt. Joy, Pennsylvania and Decatur, Alabama distribution facilities that engage in similar activities. In 2015, we leased an existing production facility in Wakarusa, Indiana, as part of our Precision Painting Group, to support growing market opportunities and increase our capacity in the RV painting market.

In addition, in an effort to support our continued focus on acquisitions and in capturing market share through the introduction of our existing product lines in markets outside of our core Midwest market, we have several new initiatives in process in 2016, which include the expansion of our manufacturing operations in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest in alignment with OEM facility expansions in those regions, and additional expansion opportunities in the Southeast and Northeast regions.

Market and product expansion in these territories include expanding our geographic product reach by opening: (1) an additional manufacturing plant in Southern California to fabricate solid surface countertops, and (2) two new facilities in the Pacific Northwest, in Oregon and Idaho, to provide laminated products and interior doors to the growing customer base in that region. We expect operations in these areas to be fully functional by the end of the first quarter of 2016. Additionally, in 2016, we have plans to open a countertop manufacturing facility in the Southeast, and increase capacity and our footprint in Pennsylvania to support the growing industrial market opportunities in the Northeast.

With our versatile manufacturing and distribution capabilities, we are continually striving to increase our presence in all of the markets that we serve and gain entrance into other markets. We remain committed to new product introduction and development initiatives. New product development is a key component of our strategy to grow our market share and revenue base, adapt to changing market conditions, and proactively address customer demand.

In March 2016, we opened The Studio, our new Design/Innovation Center and Showroom located in Elkhart, Indiana. Our focus is to present the latest design trends and products, and provide a creative environment for our customers to design products and enhance their brand. The 45,000 square foot facility includes a large showroom devoted to the display of a majority of the products, capabilities and services offered by each of Patrick’s business units, in addition to offices and conference rooms. Our specialized team of designers, engineers and graphic artists works with our RV, MH and industrial customers to meet their creative design and product needs including creating new styles and utilizing new colors, patterns, products, and wood types 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.

In addition to the new product offerings stemming from acquisitions, we further enhanced our product offerings to our customers in the RV, MH and industrial markets through the introduction of several new products and the expansion of our existing product lines in 2015 including, on the manufacturing side, several new cabinet door styles and fascia, upgraded cabinetry and countertops, new slide-out trim, new styles of interior passage doors for RVs, pressed countertops, various fiberglass and plastic components, front and rear end caps, lighting packages, and backsplashes. Our distribution line of products was expanded to include new faucets modeled after the residential market, residential furniture, televisions and sound bars, ceramic tile, mattresses, fireplace surrounds, kitchen appliances, RV electrical control systems, flooring options and various building products.

In conjunction with our acquisition strategy, we continue to focus our efforts on providing specific product knowledge, expertise and support to our customers through a branding strategy which includes product managers for each of our key product lines, support staff, and strategic supplier relationships which allow us to partner with them as a supplier of choice to drive efficiency and maximize value by providing the expertise and support in the products that we sell. Our primary product brands include Adorn, Custom Vinyls, Patrick Distribution, AIA Countertops, Quest Audio Video, Interior Components Plus, Gravure Ink, Praxis Group, Infinity Graphics, Décor Manufacturing, Gustafson Lighting, Creative Wood Designs, Middlebury Hardwood Products, Frontline Manufacturing, Premier Concepts, West Side Furniture, Precision Painting, Carrera Custom Painting, Millennium Paint, Foremost Fabricators, PolyDyn3, Charleston, Better Way Products, SCI and North American. In addition, our industrial markets sector cross sells existing product lines and launches new products that are targeted to serve unique, consumer-driven channels under the Decorative Dynamics brand name.

Our lamination facilities utilize various materials such as lauan, medium-density fiberboard (“MDF”), gypsum, and particleboard, which are bonded by adhesives or a heating process to a number of products, including vinyl, paper, foil, and high-pressure laminates. Additionally, we offer high-pressure laminate bonded primarily to particleboard, which has many uses, including countertops, cabinetry, and office furniture, among others. We manufacture and fabricate solid surface, granite, quartz, and high-pressure laminate countertops for all of our primary markets, as well as slotwall panels and components for the retail store fixture markets. Roll-laminated products are used in the production of wall, cabinet, shelving, counter, and fixture products with a wide variety of finishes and textures. In conjunction with our manufacturing capabilities, we also provide value added processes, including custom fabrication, edge-banding, drilling, boring, and cut-to-size capabilities. We also manufacture various fiberglass bath and shower surrounds and fixtures.

We manufacture three distinct cabinet door product lines in both raised and flat panel designs, as well as square, shaker style, cathedral and arched panels. Our primary cabinet door product line is manufactured from raw lumber using solid oak, maple, cherry and other hardwood materials, and comes in a variety of finishes and glazes. Another line of doors is made of laminated fiberboard, and a third line uses membrane press technology to produce doors and components with vinyls of various thicknesses. Doors are also made with a number of outside decorative components such as rosettes, hardwood moulding, arched window trim, blocks and windowsills, among others. Our doors are sold mainly to the RV and MH industries. We also market to the cabinet manufacturers and “ready-to-assemble” furniture manufacturers.

Gravure Ink, our vinyl printing facility, produces a wide variety of decorative and textured printed wall vinyls that are laminated to gypsum, lauan, or other materials depending on customer needs in the RV and MH industries. The vinyls are generally 50” in width and 3.2 mil nominal thickness, and are shipped in rolls ranging from 300-800 yards in length. This facility produces material both for sale to external customers and for internal use.

In 2014, we expanded our stable of products to include three related exterior full body painting operations (the Precision Group), a fabricator and distributor of fabricated aluminum and FRP products (Foremost), a custom fabricator of simulated wood and stone products (PolyDyn3), and a manufacturer of fiberglass and plastic components (Charleston).

In 2015, we further expanded our fiberglass operations through the acquisition of two fabricators of various custom fiberglass components (Better Way and SCI). In addition, we acquired a fabricator and distributor of custom moulding and laminated products, and expanded into the raw and processed softwood products market through our acquisition of North American.

We are engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of building products and interior decorative component products for use primarily by the RV and MH industries, and in other industrial markets. We continue to capture market share through our strategic acquisitions and new product initiatives, which have resulted in sales levels growing at a rate significantly in excess of the general industry over the last five years.

RV industry conditions continued to improve as the full year 2015 marked the sixth consecutive annual increase in RV wholesale unit shipments. We believe that industry-wide retail sales and the related production levels of RVs will be dependent on the overall strength of the economy, consumer confidence levels, conditions in the credit markets, and other demographic trends. Recreational vehicle purchases are generally consumer discretionary income purchases, and therefore, any situation which causes concerns related to discretionary income can have a negative impact on this market.

Although growth in the MH industry, based upon improved levels of wholesale shipments, has improved in recent years, it continues to be suppressed by the lack of financing alternatives and by financing and regulatory constraints imposed on lenders. We continue to believe there is significant potential for the MH market in the long-term based on the current shipment level trends as discussed below.

Approximately 50% of our industrial revenue base in 2015 was associated with the U.S. residential housing market, and therefore, there is a direct correlation between the demand for our products in this market and new residential housing construction and remodeling activities.

Over the last several years, we have focused on diversification, strategic acquisitions, and bringing new and innovative products to the market. We have also targeted certain sales efforts towards market segments that are less directly tied to residential new home construction, including the retail fixture, furniture, and countertop markets. As a result, we have seen a shift in our product mix, which has had a positive impact on revenues from the industrial markets. Additionally, we have gained market share and expanded into new geographic territories as a result of investment in new team members with significant product knowledge, relationships, and expertise in the commercial markets.

The RV industry has been characterized by cycles of growth and contraction in consumer demand, reflecting prevailing general economic conditions, which affect disposable income for leisure time activities. The deeper cycles have been tied to major economic and world events including the 1991 Gulf War, September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and the “Great Recession” of 2007-2009. We believe that consumer confidence, the level of disposable income, equity securities market trends, and significant fluctuations in interest rates have an impact on RV sales. Over the past several years, however, we believe there has been a level of resilience in the RV marketplace, where RV buyers appear to have prioritized the purchase of an RV over other discretionary items in an effort to pursue their desired “RV lifestyle”. Periods of lower gasoline prices can have a positive impact on RV retail purchases, however, extended periods of lower fuel prices followed by a sudden increase in prices could have a negative impact on retail RV purchases in the short term while the market adjusts.

Demographic and ownership trends continue to point to favorable market growth in the long term, as there is a culture shift toward outdoor activities, with a large segment of the population’s “millennials” embracing this outdoor lifestyle and entering into the RV marketplace. In addition, the number of “baby-boomers” reaching retirement age is steadily increasing, and the RV owning population in the 35-54 year old demographic continues to grow. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there are expected to be approximately 11,000 “baby-boomers” reaching age 65 every day through 2029. Additionally, products such as sports-utility RVs and “toy haulers,” with a rear section to store and transport motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs, sand rails, and other leisure products, are attractive to younger buyers, and RV manufacturers are also providing an array of product choices, including producing lightweight towables and smaller fuel-efficient motorhomes. Environmentally-conscious technologies, such as lightweight composite materials, solar panels, and energy-efficient components, are also options that can be added to an RV.

Recreational vehicle classifications are based upon standards established by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”). The principal types of recreational vehicles include: (1) Towables: conventional travel trailers, folding camping trailers, fifth wheel trailers, and truck campers which are lighter and less expensive than standard gas or diesel powered motorized units, representing a more attractive solution for the cost-conscious buyer; and (2) Motorized: motor homes. Both towable and motorized RV units are distinct from mobile homes, which are manufactured houses designed for permanent and semi-permanent residential dwelling. The Company estimates that its mix of RV revenues related to towable units and motorized units is consistent with the overall RV production mix. In 2015 and 2014, towable unit shipments represented approximately 87% and 88%, respectively, of total RV wholesale shipments. Towable unit shipments increased approximately 5% and 11%, respectively, during those same time periods. On the motorized side, wholesale unit shipments represented approximately 13% and 12%, respectively, of total RV wholesale shipments in 2015 and 2014. Motorized unit shipments rose approximately 8% and 15% in the comparable periods.

Sales of recreational vehicle products have been cyclical in the past. In the most recent major cycle, wholesale unit shipments in the RV industry declined from an all-time high of 390,500 units in 2006 to 165,700 units in 2009. In the period from 2010 to 2015, wholesale unit shipments per year averaged 305,000 units. In 2015, wholesale shipment levels rose 5% to 374,246 units, resulting in a cumulative gain of approximately 126% since 2009. The RVIA is currently forecasting full year 2016 wholesale unit shipments to increase by approximately 2% compared to the 2015 level.

The following chart reflects historical wholesale unit shipment levels in the RV industry from 2006 through 2015 per RVIA statistics:

Manufactured homes historically have been one of the principal means for first-time homebuyers to overcome the obstacles of large down payments and higher monthly mortgage payments due to the lower cost of construction as compared to site-built homes. Manufactured housing also provides a cost effective alternative for those individuals and families seeking to establish home ownership or whose credit ratings have been impacted by the economic and job environment over the past several years. In addition, manufactured homes are an attractive option for those who have migrated to temporary and multi-family housing alternatives, an attractive entry point for many first-time homebuyers and individuals and families looking to re-enter the home ownership market, or for retirees and others desiring a lifestyle in which home ownership is less burdensome than in the case of site-built homes.

Manufactured homes are constructed to the building standards of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and are factory built and transported to a site where they are installed, often permanently. All manufactured homes have design limitations imposed by the constraints of efficient production and over-the-road transit. The cost of delivery limits the effective competitive shipping range of the manufactured homes to approximately 400 to 600 miles. Modular homes, which are built in accordance with state and local building codes, are factory built homes that are built in sections and transported to the site for installation. These homes and many HUD code homes are generally set on a foundation and are subject to land/home-financing terms and conditions.

The MH industry is affected by the availability, cost, and in many cases, the credit requirements of alternative housing, such as apartments, town houses, condominiums and site-built housing, including repossessed residential housing inventory levels. The 2009 level of 49,789 wholesale units was the lowest level in the last 50 years. In the period from 2010 to 2015, MH unit shipments per year averaged 58,600 units. In 2015, MH unit shipments rose 10% to 70,519 units, resulting in a gain in annual shipments of approximately 42% since 2009, but still trending well below historical levels.

While sales growth in the MH industry continues to be limited by the lack of financing alternatives and credit availability in the short term, we believe there is pent up demand being created and significant upside potential for this market in the long term based on current demographic trends including multi-family housing capacity, new home pricing, improving credit and financing conditions, and improved consumer savings levels, among other factors. We currently expect continued steady growth in this market for 2016 with more significant growth in the long term assuming improved availability of credit and recalibration of quality credit standards.

Factors that may favorably impact production levels in this industry include quality credit standards in the residential housing market, job growth, favorable changes in financing regulations, higher interest rates on traditional residential housing loans, and improved conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans. While there is still some overhang related to the overall economic environment and the financing conditions mentioned above, we believe there is also long-term potential for this industry as residential housing demand continues to improve. On average, over the last 40 years, approximately three-fourths of total residential housing starts have been single-family housing starts. In addition, wholesale unit shipment levels in the MH industry have averaged approximately 9-11% of the level of single-family housing starts over the last 10 years.

The following chart reflects the historical wholesale unit shipment levels in the MH industry from 2006 through 2015 per the Manufactured Housing Institute:

Many of our core manufacturing products, including paper/vinyl laminated panels, shelving, drawer-sides, high-pressure laminated panels, solid surface, granite, and quartz countertops, cut-to-size products, and fiberglass and plastic components, are utilized in the kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, marine, and other industrial markets. These markets are generally categorized by a more performance-than-price driven customer base, and provide an opportunity for us to diversify our customer base, while providing increased contribution to our core laminating and fabricating competencies. While the residential furniture markets have been impacted by import pressures, there has been a renewed interest in domestically produced products and the “Made in the USA” label. Additionally, other residential and commercial segments have been less vulnerable to import competition, and therefore, provide opportunities for increased sales penetration and market share gains. Over the past three years, the residential housing market in particular has shown signs of improving across the country and that trend is expected to continue in fiscal 2016 resulting in increased demand for our products. Our sales to the industrial market generally lag new housing starts by six to nine months and will vary based on differences in regional economic prospects. We believe that we have the available capacity to increase industrial revenue and benefit from the diversity of multiple market segments, unique regional economies and varied customer strategies.

Our sales are to RV and MH manufacturers and other industrial products manufacturers. We have over 800 active customers. The Company's RV products include consolidated sales to two major manufacturers of RVs that each account for over 10% of our consolidated net sales - Forest River, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway Company (“Forest River”) and Thor Industries, Inc. (stock symbol: THO) (“Thor”). Both Forest River and Thor are comprised of various operating subsidiaries and brand names that operate within the parent company. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, our combined sales to the operating subsidiaries of Forest River and Thor, on a consolidated basis, accounted for 55% and 58% of our consolidated net sales, respectively.

A majority of products for distribution are generally purchased in railcar, container, or truckload quantities, warehoused, and then sold and delivered by us. In addition, approximately 19% and 18% of our distribution segment’s sales were from products shipped directly from the suppliers to our customers in 2015 and 2014, respectively. We typically experience a one to two week delay between issuing our purchase orders and the delivery of products to our warehouses or customers. We generally keep backup supplies of various commodity products in our warehouses to ensure that we have product on hand at all times for our distribution customers. Our customers do not maintain long-term supply contracts, and therefore, we bear the risk of accurate advanced estimation of customer orders. 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. We have no significant backlog of orders.

With the acquisitions completed in 2015 and in the first quarter of 2016, and with certain plant consolidations and expansions in 2015, we operate 23 warehouse and distribution centers and 43 manufacturing operations located in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Utah. By using these facilities, we are able to minimize our in-transit delivery time and cost to the regional manufacturing plants of our customers.

Patrick does not engage in significant marketing efforts nor does it incur significant marketing or advertising expenditures, other than attendance at certain trade shows and the activities of its sales personnel and the maintenance of customer relationships through price, quality of its products, service and customer satisfaction. Both our new design center and showroom, and our Company website, www.patrickind.com, have allowed us to further showcase our primary product brands to both existing and potential customers and expand our Internet presence.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we purchased approximately 49% of our raw materials and distributed products from 20 different suppliers. The five largest suppliers accounted for approximately 25% of our total purchases. We have terms and conditions with certain suppliers that specify exclusivity in certain areas, pricing structures, rebate agreements and other parameters.

Raw materials are primarily commodity products, such as lauan, gypsum, particleboard, other lumber products, aluminum, resin, and overlays, among others which are available from many suppliers. We do not maintain long-term supply agreements. Our sales in the short-term could be negatively impacted in the event any unforeseen negative circumstances were to affect our major suppliers. We believe that we have a good relationship with all of our significant suppliers. Alternate sources of supply are available for all of our material purchases.

The Company’s operations are subject to certain federal, state, and local regulatory requirements relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during their manufacturing processes. Over the past several years, Patrick has taken a proactive role in certifying that the composite wood substrate materials that it uses to produce products for its customers in the RV marketplace have complied 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 it assists our customers in making socially and environmentally responsible buying decisions on the products they purchase.

We believe that we are currently operating in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations and have made reports and submitted information as required. The Company believes that the expense of compliance with these laws and regulations with respect to environmental quality, as currently in effect, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or competitive position, and will not require any material capital expenditures for plant or equipment modifications.

Manufacturing operations in the RV and MH industries historically have been seasonal and generally have been at their highest levels when the climate is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits had generally been the highest in the second and third quarters. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers to the September timeframe, whereby dealers are delaying purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. This has resulted in seasonal softening in the RV industry beginning in the third quarter and extending through October, and when combined with our increased concentration in the RV industry, led to a seasonal trend pattern in which the Company achieves its strongest sales and profit levels in the first half of the year.

As of December 31, 2015, we had 3,542 employees, 3,181 of which were engaged directly in production, warehousing, and delivery operations; 97 in sales; and 264 in office and administrative activities, which includes purchasing, inventory and production control, customer service, human resources, accounting, and information technology, among others. There were no manufacturing plants or distribution centers covered by collective bargaining agreements. Patrick continuously reviews benefits and other matters of interest to its employees and considers relations with its employees to be good.

The Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks related to its business. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below and the other matters set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of these risks should be carefully considered.

Economic and business conditions that are beyond our control, including cyclicality and seasonality, and concerns over the sustainability of the economic recovery, have in the past had a significant adverse impact on our operating results, and could negatively impact our operating results in the future.

The three major markets in which we sell our products, RV, MH and industrial, have been characterized by cycles of growth and contraction in consumer demand, and are dependent upon various factors, including the general level of economic activity, consumer confidence, interest rates, access to financing, inventory and production levels, and the cost and availability of fuel. Economic and demographic factors can cause substantial fluctuations in production, which in turn impact sales and operating results. Consequently, the results for any prior period may not be indicative of results for any future period.

Historically, a macroeconomic downturn has adversely affected our operating results and could again in the future. Companies in these markets are subject to volatility in production levels, shipments, sales and operating results due to changes in external factors such as general economic conditions, including credit availability, consumer confidence, employment rates, interest rates, inflation and other economic conditions affecting consumer demand, as well as demographic and political changes. We cannot predict the duration of an economic downturn, the timing or strength of a subsequent economic recovery or the extent to which an economic downturn will continue to negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Manufacturing operations in the RV and MH industries historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the climate is moderate. However, seasonal industry trends in the past several years have been different from prior years, primarily reflecting volatile economic conditions, fluctuations in RV dealer inventories, changing dealer show schedules, interest rates, access to financing, the cost of fuel, and increased demand from RV dealers. Consequently, future seasonal trends may be different from prior years.

We may incur significant 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 to distribute and/or manufacture and sell our products in the most efficient manner. Based on our assessments and if required by business conditions, 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 significant 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.

The financial condition of our customers and suppliers may deteriorate as a result of weakening conditions in the economy and competitive conditions in their markets.

The markets we serve historically have been highly sensitive to changes in the economic environment. Weakening conditions in the economy 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. A decline in the financial condition of our customers could hinder our ability to collect amounts owed by customers. In addition, such a decline could result in lower demand for our products and services.

Although we have a large number of customers, our sales are significantly 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 55% of our consolidated net sales in 2015. The loss of either of these customers could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition. In addition, 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 or manufactured homes, or for the products we make for RVs and manufactured homes, could reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

A significant 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 adversely impact our sales levels to this industry and our operating results.

In 2015, 75% of our net sales were to the RV industry versus 74% in 2014 and 72% in 2013. The increase in the Company’s sales concentration in the RV industry primarily resulted from an increase in RV wholesale unit shipment levels over the last several years, increased RV market penetration by the Company, and the Company’s completion of several RV-related acquisitions in the corresponding time period. Future declines in RV unit shipment levels or reductions in industry growth could significantly reduce the Company’s revenue from the RV industry and have a material adverse impact on our operating results in 2016 and other future periods.

The manufactured housing and recreational vehicle 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 geographic or product mix, or the decision of our customers to purchase our competitors’ products instead of our products or to produce in-house products that we currently produce. We compete not only with other suppliers to the RV and MH producers but also with suppliers to traditional site-built homebuilders and suppliers of cabinetry. 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 exclusive and non-exclusive distributor contracts and agreements may be adversely impacted.

The greater financial resources or the lower amount of debt of certain of our competitors may enable them to commit larger amounts of capital in response to changing market conditions. Certain competitors may have the ability to 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 and MH industries, 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.

The cyclical nature of the domestic housing market has caused our sales and operating results to fluctuate. These fluctuations may continue in the future, which could result in operating losses during downturns.

The U.S. housing industry is cyclical and is influenced by many national and regional economic and demographic factors, including:

The RV and MH industries and the industrial markets can be affected by fluctuations in the residential housing market. As a result of the foregoing factors, our sales and operating results can fluctuate, and we expect that they will continue to fluctuate in the future. Moreover, cyclical and seasonal downturns in the residential housing market may cause us to experience operating losses.

Fuel shortages or high prices for fuel have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our operations.

The products produced by the RV industry 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 significantly increase in the future. Shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel, and substantial increases in the price of fuel, have had a material adverse effect on the RV industry as a whole in the past and could have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.

Generally, our raw materials, supplies and energy requirements are obtained from various sources and in the quantities desired. While alternative sources are available, our business is subject to the risk of price increases and periodic delays in delivery. Fluctuations in the prices of these requirements may be driven by the supply/demand relationship for that commodity, governmental regulation, economic conditions in other countries, religious holidays, natural disasters, and other events. 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.

Increases in demand for our products could make it more difficult for us to obtain additional skilled labor, and available capacity may initially not be utilized efficiently.

In certain geographic regions in which we have manufacturing facilities, we have experienced, and could again experience, shortages of qualified employees. If demand 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.

The increased cost and limited availability of certain raw materials may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Prices of certain materials, including gypsum, lauan, particleboard, MDF, aluminum and other commodity products, can be volatile and change dramatically with changes in supply and demand. Certain products are purchased from overseas and their availability is dependent upon weather conditions, seasonal and religious holidays, political unrest, economic conditions overseas, natural disasters, vessel shipping schedules and port availability. Further, certain of our commodity product suppliers sometimes operate at or near capacity, resulting in some products having the potential of being put on allocation. We generally have been able to maintain adequate supplies of materials and to pass higher material costs on to our customers in the form of surcharges and base price increases where needed. However, it is not certain future price increases can be passed on to our customers without affecting demand or that limited availability of materials will not impact our production capabilities. Our sales levels and operating results could be negatively impacted by changes in any of these items.

We are subject to governmental and environmental regulations, and failure in our compliance efforts 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.

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 regulations regarding these substances. In addition, the implementation of new regulations or amendments to existing regulations could significantly increase the cost of the Company’s products. We currently use materials that we believe comply with government regulations. We cannot presently determine what, if any, legislation may be adopted by Congress or state or local governing bodies, or the effect any such legislation may have on our customers or us. In addition, failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines or potential civil or criminal liability. Both scenarios could negatively impact our results of operations or financial condition.

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.

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 its administrative, financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, 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, 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, significant unexpected liabilities could arise from these acquisitions.

Increased levels of indebtedness may harm our financial condition and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2015, we had $204.5 million of total debt outstanding under our $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2015 Credit Facility”) that was established pursuant to our current credit agreement, as amended (the “2015 Credit Agreement”).

In certain circumstances, an increase in 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. Furthermore, such increases 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 increasing 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.

Our 2015 Credit Agreement contains various financial performance and other covenants. If we do not remain in compliance with these covenants, our 2015 Credit Agreement could be terminated and the amounts outstanding thereunder could become immediately due and payable.

We have debt outstanding that contains financial and non-financial covenants with which we must comply that place restrictions on us. There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the financial covenants under our 2015 Credit Agreement. These covenants require that we comply with a maximum level of a consolidated total leverage ratio and a minimum level of a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the 2015 Credit Agreement. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our 2015 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. 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, and our 2015 Credit Facility to finance our operating requirements, capital expenditures and other needs. If the general recessionary economic conditions that impacted the economy in 2007-2010 should return in the future, production of RVs and manufactured homes could decline, 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 2015 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 2015 Credit Agreement. The inability to retain our current letters of credit, to obtain alternative letter of credit sources, or to retain our 2015 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.

Our customers generally do not maintain long-term supply contracts and, therefore, we must bear the risk of advanced estimation of customer orders. We maintain an inventory to support these customers’ needs. 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.

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.

A portion of our total assets as of December 31, 2015 was comprised of goodwill, amortizable intangible 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 our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment include changes in our estimated future cash flows, changes in rates of growth in our industry or in any of our reporting units, 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. Significant impairment charges, although not always affecting current cash flow, could have a material effect on our operating results and financial position.

A variety of factors could influence fluctuations in the market price for our common stock.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate in the future in response to a number of factors, including those discussed below. The market price of our common stock has in the past fluctuated and is likely to continue to fluctuate. Some of the factors that may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate include:

One of our stockholders has a contractual right to elect a board member and as a result may be able to influence the actions that the Company takes.

Under a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. and affiliates (collectively, "Tontine Capital"), dated April 10, 2007, Tontine Capital has the right to (i) appoint one nominee to our board as long as it holds between 7.5% and 14.9% of our outstanding common stock; or (ii) appoint two nominees to our board if it holds at least 15% of our outstanding common stock. As of February 26, 2016, Tontine Capital has one director on the Company’s board of directors. Based on information contained in a filing by Tontine Capital with the SEC on February 29, 2016, Tontine Capital beneficially owns approximately 9% of our outstanding common stock. Because of its right to elect a board member and its stock holdings, Tontine Capital may influence the actions that the Company takes, including the election of directors. The interests of Tontine Capital may not in all cases be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders. The influence of Tontine Capital may also have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests. In addition, Tontine Capital and its affiliates are in the business of investing in companies and may, from time to time, invest in companies that compete directly or indirectly with us. Tontine Capital and its affiliates may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

We are required to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. Such report contains, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. Each year we must prepare or update the process documentation and perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. During this process, if our management identifies one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that such internal control is effective. Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. We and our independent auditors may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need further attention and improvement, particularly with respect to any businesses that we decide to acquire in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Investor perception that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely, consistent basis may adversely affect our stock price. Failure to comply with Section 404 could also potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, NASDAQ, or other regulatory authorities.

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 each 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.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company owned approximately 1,756,700 square feet of manufacturing and distribution facilities and leased approximately 2,290,900 square feet as listed below.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2015 Credit Agreement, all of its owned facilities are subject to a mortgage and security interest. In addition, we utilize one contract warehouse located in Minnesota that houses certain of our distribution products inventory. Remuneration to the third party owner of this facility consists of a percentage of sales to our customers from this facility in exchange for storage space and delivery services.

We believe the facilities we occupy as of December 31, 2015 are adequate for the purposes for which they are currently being used and are well-maintained. We may, as part of our 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 facilities may vary with seasonal, economic, and other business conditions.

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

Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global Stock Market^SM under the symbol PATK. The high and low trade prices per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on NASDAQ for each quarterly period during 2015 and 2014, as adjusted for the three-for-two common stock split effected in May 2015, were as follows:

The quotations represent prices between dealers, do not include retail mark-ups, mark-downs, or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

As of February 26, 2016, we had 275 shareholders of record in addition to beneficial owners of shares held in broker and nominee names.

The Company did not pay cash dividends in 2015. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be made by the Board of Directors in light of the Company’s earnings, financial position, capital requirements, and restrictions under the Company’s 2015 Credit Agreement, and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

In January 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock over a 24-month period.

The following graph compares the cumulative 5-year total return to shareholders of the Company’s common stock relative to the cumulative total returns of the Russell 2000 index and a customized peer group of companies, which includes Arctic Cat Inc., Brunswick Corporation, Cavco Industries, Inc., Drew Industries Incorporated, Spartan Motors, Inc., Thor Industries, Inc., Trimas Corporation and Winnebago Industries, Inc.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Report. In addition, this MD&A contains certain statements relating to future results that are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” on page 3 of this Report.

This MD&A is divided into five major sections. The outline for our MD&A is as follows:

Patrick is a major manufacturer of component products and distributor of building products serving the recreational vehicle (“RV”) and manufactured housing (“MH”) industries, and certain other industrial markets, such as kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, marine and other industrial markets and operates coast-to-coast through locations in 11 states. Patrick's major manufactured products include decorative vinyl and paper laminated panels, solid surface, granite and quartz countertops, fabricated aluminum products, wrapped vinyl, paper and hardwood profile mouldings, slide-out trim and fascia, cabinet doors and components, hardwood furniture, fiberglass bath fixtures, fiberglass and plastic component products including front and rear caps and marine helms, softwoods lumber, interior passage doors, RV painting, simulated wood and stone products, and slotwall panels and components, among others.

The Company also distributes pre-finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall finishing products, electronics, wiring, electrical and plumbing products, cement siding, fiber reinforced polyester (“FRP”) products, interior passage doors, roofing products, laminate and ceramic flooring, shower doors, furniture, fireplaces and surrounds, interior and exterior lighting products, and other miscellaneous products. The Company has two reportable business segments: Manufacturing and Distribution, which contributed approximately 78% and 22%, respectively, to 2015 consolidated net sales.

Fiscal 2015 reflected a continuation of solid growth in the RV market, which includes growth in both towables and motorized units, and improving conditions in the industrial markets, as evidenced by year over year growth in new housing starts. In addition, the MH market continued to reflect modest improvement with growth at a rate generally consistent with recent years. Overall, we have continued to capture market share through our strategic acquisitions, line extensions, and the introduction of new and innovative products, which resulted in our 2015 sales levels increasing beyond the general industry results. While there remains general uncertainty related to the stability of the continued overall economic recovery, as well as the domestic political environment and volatility in international markets, the three primary markets that we serve experienced steady growth in 2015, which we expect to continue into 2016. We are seeing resilience, in particular in the RV market, with what we believe to be upside potential in the immediate future based on current indicators including positive traffic on dealer retail lots, retail sales and wholesale shipment statistics trending similar to recent years, and overall balance related to dealer inventory levels when compared to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) production levels.

The RV industry, which is our primary market and comprised 75% of the Company’s 2015 sales, continued to strengthen as evidenced by higher OEM production levels and wholesale unit shipments versus the prior year. According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), wholesale shipment levels reached 374,246 units in 2015, representing an increase of approximately 5% versus 2014 and marking the sixth consecutive annual increase in RV wholesale shipments. Recent acquisitions, new products, market share gains, and the ongoing strength of retail RV sales, as evidenced by an approximate 12% combined increase in industry-wide retail sales of towables and motorized units in 2015, based on the most recent available survey data, contributed to a significant increase in our net sales to the RV industry in 2015.

At the beginning of the second quarter of 2015, we started to see a shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units, which has negatively impacted our content per unit growth. As a result of this mix shift, we may continue to see some content volatility in the short-term. Further, we believe this mix shift is reflective of younger and first-time consumers entering the market, as supported by recent dealer surveys, thus broadening the market’s foundation and extending the opportunity for future long-term industry growth. Additionally, we believe our commitment to quality customer service and our large complement of innovative product lines at various price points position us to address our customers’ changing needs and buying patterns.

As it relates to the correlation between retail inventories and overall production levels, industry reports and dealer surveys continue to indicate that RV dealer inventory levels are in line with retail demand with strong retail traffic on dealer lots expected for the first half of the 2016 retail selling season. Despite the RV industry approaching prior wholesale production peaks, we continue to believe the future looks promising for the RV industry based on a number of factors including: positive industry demographic trends with younger buyers entering the market and an increasing number of baby boomers reaching retirement age, readily available financing, new and innovative products coming to market, increasing strength in the overall economic environment, and the value of the RV lifestyle related to spending quality time with families.

We believe continued growth in 2016 in industry-wide retail sales and the related production levels of RVs will be dependent on the overall perception of the economy, consumer confidence levels, the domestic political and governmental environment, and equity securities market trends. On a macroeconomic level, as consumer confidence has generally trended higher over the last five to six years, there has been a consistent trend of year-over-year increases in RV shipments for the same time period. The strong demographic indicators mentioned above point to a generally positive long-term outlook in the RV market, subject to the impact of any major global events. We are anticipating steady growth in this market and further believe that RV dealers have the capacity to carry the additional inventory necessary to support this growth, which would maintain an overall balance in the industry from OEM wholesale shipments to dealer inventory levels to retail sales at this time.

Sales growth prospects in the MH industry, which represented approximately 14% of the Company’s 2015 sales, remains tempered based on financing and regulatory constraints imposed on lenders. According to industry sources, wholesale unit shipments, which continue to trend well below historical levels, increased approximately 10% from 2014. While sales growth in the MH industry continues to be limited by the lack of financing alternatives and credit availability in the short-term, we believe there is pent up demand being created and significant upside potential for this market in the long-term based on current demographic trends including multi-family housing capacity, new home pricing, improving credit and financing conditions, and improved consumer savings levels, among other factors. We currently expect continued steady growth in this market for 2016 with more significant growth potential in the longer-term assuming improved availability of credit and recalibration of quality credit standards. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the upside potential of the MH market, especially given the combination of our nationwide geographic footprint, available capacity in our current MH concentrated locations, and our current content per unit levels.

Factors that may favorably impact production levels further in this industry include quality credit standards in the residential housing market, job growth, favorable changes in financing regulations, higher interest rates on traditional residential housing loans, and improved conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.

The industrial market, which accounted for 11% of our 2015 sales and is comprised primarily of the kitchen cabinet, retail and commercial fixture market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors, is primarily impacted by macroeconomic conditions and more specifically, conditions in the residential housing market. The Company’s industrial sales have increased over the last several years, reflecting both acquisition and organic growth, the addition of new sales territories over the past two years, and a focus on opportunities in the commercial markets. We estimate approximately 50% our industrial revenue base was directly tied to the residential housing market in 2015 with the remaining half tied mainly to the retail fixture, office and commercial furnishings markets. We believe there is a direct correlation between the demand for our products in the residential housing market and new residential housing construction and remodeling activities.

New housing starts in 2015 increased approximately 11% compared to 2014 (as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce). In addition, our sales in 2015 benefited from continued market share gains, particularly in the office and institutional furniture markets, as well as improved sales to the retail and commercial fixtures markets. Our sales to the industrial market generally lag new residential housing starts by six to nine months.

We believe that projected continued low interest rates, overall expected economic improvement, and pent up demand are some of the drivers that will continue to positively impact the housing industry for the next several years.

In order to offset some of the impacts of the weakness in the residential housing market in recent years, we have focused on diversification efforts, strategic acquisitions, and increased penetration into the commercial and multi-family housing markets with the addition of new sales territories and personnel. Additionally, we have targeted certain sales efforts towards market segments that are less directly tied to new single and multi-family home construction, including the marine, retail fixture, office, medical, and institutional furnishings, and countertop markets. As a result, we have seen a shift in our product mix, which has had a positive impact on revenue from the industrial markets.

Based on the anticipated improvement and increased demand in 2016 in all three of the primary markets we serve, we are also expecting the cost of our raw materials in certain commodities to increase as well. Conversely, the continuation of lower fuel prices in 2016, as we experienced in 2015, is expected to continue to result in price declines in certain petroleum based input costs that would be passed on to customers in certain areas and product lines. Historically, higher energy costs, the impact of natural disasters in various areas of the world, and increased demand in certain market sectors have driven up the costs of certain raw materials and the Company continues to explore alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from overseas. Due to the volatile nature of pricing in the commodity markets, we generally pass both price increases and decreases through to our customer base.

In 2015, we completed three acquisitions, all of which provided the opportunity to increase our product offerings, market share and per unit content primarily in the RV market:

These 2015 acquisitions, combined with the 2014 acquisitions of Precision Painting, Inc., Carrera Custom Painting, Inc., Millennium Paint, Inc., and TDM Transport, Inc. (collectively referred to as “Precision Painting Group” or “Precision”), Foremost Fabricators, LLC (“Foremost”), PolyDyn3, LLC (“PolyDyn3”) and Charleston Corporation (“Charleston"), and the 2013 acquisitions of Frontline Mfg., Inc. (“Frontline”), Premier Concepts, Inc. (“Premier”) and John H. McDonald Co., Inc. d/b/a West Side Furniture (“West Side”), contributed to an increase in our RV market sales concentration in both 2015 and 2014 compared to earlier periods.

In February 2016, the Company acquired Parkland Plastics, Inc. (“Parkland”) with operating facilities located in Middlebury, Indiana, for a net purchase price of approximately $25 million. Parkland is a fully integrated designer, green manufacturer and distributor of innovative polymer-based products, primarily used in the RV, architectural and industrial markets.

In March 2016, the Company acquired The Progressive Group (“Progressive”) with operating facilities located in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Michigan and Utah, for a net purchase price of approximately $11 million. Progressive is a distributor and manufacturer’s representative for major name brand electronics, primarily serving the auto and home electronics, retail, custom integration, and commercial channels.

Below is a summary of our 2015 financial results. Additional detailed discussions are provided elsewhere in this MD&A and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In fiscal year 2015, our primary focus was on gaining market share through the introduction of new products to the marketplace and the execution of strategic acquisitions, maximizing operating efficiencies, managing and developing our talent pool, and further embedding our ‘Customer 1st’ performance oriented culture.

The three primary markets that we serve experienced steady growth in 2015, which we expect to continue into 2016. The RVIA currently forecasts that RV unit shipment levels in 2016 will increase approximately 2% when compared to the full year 2015. In addition, we anticipate a further increase in production levels in the MH industry in 2016, reflecting improvement in the overall economy and consistent with the improvement in single-family residential housing starts. Based on the industry’s current annualized run rates, the Company projects wholesale MH unit shipments for full year 2016 to increase by approximately 10% compared to 2015. The National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”) (as of March 2, 2016) is currently forecasting an approximate 9% year-over-year increase in new housing starts in 2016 compared to 2015.

We believe we are well positioned to increase revenues in all of the markets that we serve as the overall economic environment continues to improve. While our visibility related to longer-term industry conditions is limited to approximately six months, we expect to continue to see year over year revenue growth for fiscal year 2016, exclusive of the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2015.

We will continue to review our operations on a regular basis, balance appropriate risks and opportunities, and maximize efficiencies to support the Company’s long-term strategic growth goals. Our team remains focused on strategic acquisitions in our existing businesses and similar markets, capturing market share and increasing our per unit content, keeping costs aligned with revenue, maximizing operating efficiencies, talent management, and the execution of our organizational strategic agenda. Key focus areas for 2016 include strategic revenue growth, improved operating income and net income, net income per share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), and free cash flow.

In conjunction with our organizational strategic agenda, we will continue to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage our operating platform, and we will continue to work to strengthen and broaden customer relationships and meet customer demands with the highest quality service and the goal of continually exceeding our customers’ expectations. In 2015, capital expenditures were $8.0 million versus $6.5 million in 2014. The current capital plan for full year 2016 includes expenditures of up to $10.0 million related primarily to: (i) equipment upgrades to ensure that our facilities have the capacity, capabilities and technology to facilitate our growth plans; (ii) geographical expansion initiatives in Southern California, the Pacific Northwest, Southeast and Northeast regions; and (iii) other strategic capital and maintenance improvements.

The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items on the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Net Sales. Net sales in 2015 increased $184.6 million or 25%, to $920.3 million from $735.7 million in 2014. The increase was attributable to a 26% increase in the Company’s revenues from the RV industry, an 18% increase in revenues from the MH industry, and a 27% increase in revenues from the industrial markets. Approximately $176.9 million of the revenue increase reflected the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2015 (Better Way, SCI and North American) and the incremental revenue contributions of the 2014 acquisitions (Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston).

The sales increase in 2015 is also primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) improved office and institutional furnishings and retail and commercial fixtures sales in the industrial market; (iii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries; and (iv) improved residential housing starts. Our sales to the industrial market sector, which is primarily tied to the residential housing and commercial and retail fixture markets, generally lag new residential housing starts by approximately six to nine months.

Partially offsetting this revenue growth in 2015 was the mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units in both the towables and motorized sectors of the industry, which negatively impacted content per unit growth, and price declines in certain more commodity-oriented raw materials passed on to customers that we utilize in our manufacturing processes. The Company’s RV content per unit for 2015 increased 20% to $1,845 from $1,536 in 2014. The MH content per unit for the full year 2015 increased 8% to $1,825 from $1,692 in 2014.

The RV industry, which represented approximately 75% of the Company’s sales in 2015, saw wholesale unit shipments increase by approximately 5% compared to 2014. The MH industry, which represented 14% of the Company’s 2015 sales, experienced a 10% increase in wholesale unit shipments compared to 2014. The industrial market sector accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s sales in 2015. We estimate that approximately 50% of our industrial revenue base is directly tied to the residential housing market, which experienced an increase in new housing starts of approximately 11% in 2015 compared to 2014 (as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce).

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $150.9 million or 24%, to $768.1 million in 2015 from $617.2 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased during 2015 to 83.5% from 83.9% in 2014.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was positively impacted during 2015 by: (i) increased revenues relative to our overall fixed overhead costs; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2015 and 2014 and the addition of new higher margin product lines; and (iii) ongoing process changes that primarily improved material yields and resulted in the realization of operating synergies.

In addition, demand changes in certain market sectors can result in fluctuating costs of certain more commodity-oriented raw materials and other products that we utilize and distribute from quarter-to-quarter. The Company continually explores alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from overseas.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $33.8 million or 29%, to $152.3 million in 2015 from $118.5 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 16.5% in 2015 from 16.1% in 2014. The improvement in gross profit dollars and the percentage of net sales in 2015 compared to 2014 reflected the positive impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”, including the positive contribution to gross profit of acquisition-related revenue growth as noted above.

Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of our RV, MH, and industrial businesses include the costs of commodities used to manufacture our products and the competitive environment that can cause gross margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

Exclusive of any commodity pricing fluctuations, competitive pricing dynamics, or other circumstances outside of our control, we anticipate full year gross margins in 2016 will improve from those in 2015 as a result of operating leverage from continued expected sales growth, partially offset by lower gross margins on certain acquisitions completed in 2015 when compared to historical consolidated gross margins.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $0.9 million or 4%, to $27.1 million in 2015 from $26.2 million in 2014. The expense increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes.

As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 2.9% in 2015 and 3.6% in 2014. The decrease as a percentage of net sales primarily reflected: (i )the impact of market share gains related to increased direct ship business in our Distribution segment; (ii) a reduction in fuel costs; (iii) the impact of acquisitions completed in 2014 and 2015 with lower delivery expenses as a percentage of net sales when compared to the consolidated percentage; and (iv) more efficient utilization per delivery truckload. We expect the current reduction in fuel costs, if sustained throughout 2016, to positively impact our warehouse and delivery expense.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $10.0 million or 28%, to $46.4 million in 2015 from $36.4 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.0% in 2015 and 4.9% in 2014. The net increase in SG&A expenses in 2015 compared to 2014 primarily reflected the impact of additional headcount and administrative expenses associated with recent acquisitions and increased stock-based and incentive compensation expense designed to attract and retain key employees.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $4.3 million in 2015 compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in 2014 (Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston ), and in 2015 (Better Way, SCI and North American ). In the aggregate, in conjunction with the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions, the Company recognized $68.6 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 10 years.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $18.4 million or 36% to $69.9 million in 2015 from $51.5 million in 2014. Operating income in 2015 and 2014 included $11.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, related to the acquisitions completed in each such year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased from 7.0% in 2014 to 7.6% in 2015. The change in operating income and operating margin is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $1.9 million to $4.3 million in 2015 from $2.4 million in 2014 reflecting increased borrowings primarily to fund acquisitions and increased working capital needs in 2015.

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income taxes at a full year blended rate of 35.6% for 2015 and 37.5% for 2014. The reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to R&D tax credits of approximately $1.0 million that were realized in 2015 with no comparable amount in 2014. As we continue to refine our federal and state income tax estimates, which are impacted by the availability of tax credits, permanent differences impacting the effective tax rate and shifts in apportionment factors among states as a result of recent acquisition activity and other factors, we could experience further fluctuations in our combined effective income tax rate from period to period and for the full year 2016.

In 2015 and 2014, the Company realized approximately $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of additional taxable deductions related to excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013. These tax benefits were recorded to shareholders’ equity upon realization in 2015 and 2014.

From a tax perspective, the Company had various state net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $1.6 million at December 31, 2014, of which approximately $0.7 million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2015. The state NOLs were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax provision for 2015 and 2014. In 2015 and 2014, the Company made quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual 2015 and 2014 federal and state income tax liability.

Net Income. Net income for 2015 was $42.2 million or $2.72 per diluted share compared to $30.7 million or $1.91 per diluted share for 2014. The changes in net income for 2015 reflected the impact of the items previously discussed, while the change in net income per diluted share also reflects a reduction in diluted shares outstanding in 2015 compared to 2014 as a result of the Company’s share repurchase program.

Net Sales. Net sales in 2014 increased $140.8 million or 24%, to $735.7 million from $594.9 million in 2013. The increase was attributable to a 27% increase in the Company’s revenues from the RV industry, a 13% increase in revenues from the MH industry, and a 16% increase in revenues from the industrial markets. Excluding the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2014 and the incremental revenue contributions of the 2013 acquisitions, the Company estimated its organic growth in 2014 at approximately 11%, or $62.8 million of the total revenue increase. The remaining $78.0 million revenue increase in 2014 was attributable to the incremental contribution of the 2013 acquisitions (Frontline, Premier and West Side) and to the 2014 acquisitions (Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston).

The sales increase in 2014 was also primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV market penetration; (ii) improved residential cabinet and office, medical and institutional furnishings business in the industrial market; (iii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries; and (iv) improved residential housing starts.

The RV industry, which represented approximately 74% of the Company’s sales in 2014, saw wholesale unit shipments increase by approximately 11% compared to 2013. The MH industry, which represented 15% of the Company’s 2014 sales, experienced a 7% increase in wholesale unit shipments compared to 2013. The industrial market sector accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s sales in 2014.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $113.3 million or 23%, to $617.2 million in 2014 from $503.9 million in 2013. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased during 2014 to 83.9% from 84.7% in 2013.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was positively impacted during 2014 by: (i) increased revenues relative to overall fixed overhead costs; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2014 and 2013 and the addition of new higher margin product lines; and (iii) ongoing organizational and process changes that enhanced labor efficiencies and increased material yields.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $27.5 million or 30%, to $118.5 million in 2014 from $91.0 million in 2013. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 16.1% in 2014 from 15.3% in 2013. The improvement in gross profit dollars and the percentage of net sales in 2014 compared to 2013 reflected the positive impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”, including the positive contribution to gross profit of both organic and acquisition-related revenue growth, and disciplined cost control and management of certain low margin business.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $6.0 million or 30%, to $26.2 million in 2014 from $20.2 million in 2013. The expense increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes.

As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 3.6% in 2014 and 3.4% in 2013. The increase as a percentage of net sales primarily reflected: (i) additional warehouse staff as a result of a 36% increase in distribution revenues during 2014; (ii) increased overtime expenses for Company fleet drivers and greater utilization of more costly third party contract drivers in certain of our manufacturing and distribution operations, related to a shortage of qualified drivers to transport our products to our customers, primarily in the first half of 2014; and (iii) increased overall demand levels in other industries which resulted in increased freight rates, both with full truckload and less than full truckload carriers, in addition to increased driver wages, that were partially offset by a reduction in fuel costs, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $8.4 million or 30%, to $36.4 million in 2014 from $28.0 million in 2013. Additional headcount associated with certain recent acquisitions, increased stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.0 million, and an increase in incentive compensation related to higher levels of profitability, contributed to a net increase in selling and administrative wages, incentives and payroll taxes in 2014 compared to the prior year. In addition, SG&A expenses in 2013 included a gain of $0.3 million related to the recovery of a previously reserved receivable. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 4.9% in 2014 and 4.7% in 2013.

Additionally, the Company incurred certain transaction-related expenses in 2014 in connection with acquisitions completed and those evaluated of approximately $0.8 million. The increase in SG&A expenses in 2014 was partially offset by the recognition of pretax gains of $1.0 million in the aggregate associated with one 2012 acquisition and two 2013 acquisitions in which the conditions for payment of contingent consideration were not achieved.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $2.1 million in 2014 compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in 2013 (Frontline, Premier and West Side), and in 2014 (Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston). In the aggregate, in conjunction with the 2013 and 2014 acquisitions, the Company recognized $31.6 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are being amortized over periods ranging from three to 10 years.

(Gain) Loss on Sale of Fixed Assets. During 2013, the Company sold the facility that housed its distribution operation in Halstead, Kansas and recorded a pretax gain on sale of approximately $0.4 million.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $10.5 million or 26% to $51.5 million in 2014 from $41.0 million in 2013. Operating income in 2014 and 2013 included $3.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the acquisitions completed in each such year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased from 6.9% in 2013 to 7.0% in 2014. The change in operating income is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $0.2 million to $2.4 million in 2014 from $2.2 million in 2013 reflecting increased borrowings primarily to fund acquisitions offset by a lower effective interest rate compared to the prior year period.

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income taxes at a full year blended rate of 37.5% for 2014 and 38% for the full year 2013. In 2014 and 2013, the Company realized a net tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to the realization of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These tax benefits were recorded to shareholders’ equity upon realization in 2014 and 2013 at the then estimated effective combined federal and state tax rate.

From a tax perspective, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) which resulted in virtually no cash taxes being paid other than franchise taxes and various state filing taxes prior to 2013. In 2013, the Company fully utilized its remaining federal NOL of approximately $9.8 million. In addition, the Company had various state NOLs of approximately $4.5 million at December 31, 2013, of which approximately $1.6 million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2014.

The federal and state NOLs discussed above were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax provision for 2013 and, with respect to state NOLs only, for 2014. In 2014 and 2013, the Company made quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual 2014 and 2013 federal and state income tax liability.

Net Income. Net income for 2014 was $30.7 million or $1.91 per diluted share compared to $24.0 million or $1.49 per diluted share for 2013. The changes in net income for 2014 reflected the impact of the items previously discussed.

The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those based on its method of internal reporting, which segregates its businesses by product category and production or distribution process. The Company regularly evaluates the performance of each segment and allocates resources to them based on a variety of indicators including sales, cost of goods sold, and operating income.

Sales pertaining to the manufacturing and distribution segments as stated in the table below and in the following discussions include intersegment sales. Gross profit includes the impact of intersegment operating activity.

The table below presents information about the sales, gross profit, and operating income of the Company’s operating segments. A reconciliation to consolidated totals is presented in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sales. Sales increased $171.2 million or 30%, to $738.4 million from $567.2 million in 2014. This segment accounted for approximately 78% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2015. The sales increase reflected a 33%, 25% and 28% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.

Approximately $160.1 million of the revenue improvement in 2015 was attributable to the 2015 acquisitions and to the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2014. The remaining sales increase of $11.1 million is primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries of 5% and 10% in 2015, respectively; and (iii) improved retail and commercial fixtures and furniture business in the industrial markets. Partially offsetting this revenue growth was the mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units, which negatively impacted content per unit growth, and price declines in certain more commodity-oriented raw materials passed on to customers that we utilize in our manufacturing processes.

We expect to continue to see overall revenue growth in fiscal 2016 compared to the prior year exclusive of the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2015.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $32.3 million to $122.3 million in 2015 from $90.0 million in 2014. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 16.6% in 2015 from 15.9% in 2014. Gross profit for 2015 improved primarily as a result of: (i) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2014 and 2015 and the addition of new, higher margin product lines; (ii) higher revenue relative to overall fixed overhead costs; and (iii) ongoing process changes that primarily increased material yields and resulted in the realization of operating synergies.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $22.8 million to $78.6 million in 2015 from $55.8 million in 2014. Operating income in 2015 included $11.8 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in 2015. Operating income attributable to acquisitions completed in 2014 was $1.4 million. The improvement in operating income primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above in addition to a reduction in fuel costs and more efficient utilization per delivery truckload. Higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in 2015, which reflected the incremental impact of acquisitions completed in 2014 and increased sales, salaried and administration spending to support expected growth, partially offset the operating income improvement over 2014.

Sales. Sales increased $13.1 million or 7%, to $202.5 million in 2015 from $189.4 million in 2014. This segment accounted for approximately 22% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2015. The sales increase reflected a 5%, 9%, and 19% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.

The 2015 acquisitions and the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2014 were responsible for approximately $16.8 million of revenue improvement in 2015. The sales improvement in 2015 also reflected: (i) the positive impact of increased market penetration; (ii) revenue due to additional direct ship distribution business added in the latter half of 2014 in the MH market; and (iii) a 10% increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry. Partially offsetting this revenue growth in 2015 was the mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $2.5 million to $31.6 million in 2015 from $29.1 million in 2014. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 15.6% in 2015 compared to 15.3% in 2014. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales for 2015 is primarily attributable to leveraging fixed costs on higher sales volumes.

Operating Income. Operating income in 2015 increased $2.1 million to $12.8 million from $10.7 million in 2014. Operating income attributable to acquisitions completed in 2014 was $1.7 million. The acquisitions completed in 2015 were all related to the manufacturing segment, therefore, there was no impact to operating income in the distribution segment. The improvement in operating income primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above in addition to a reduction in fuel costs and more efficient utilization per delivery truckload.

Unallocated corporate expenses in 2015 increased $2.2 million to $12.7 million from $10.5 million in 2014. Unallocated corporate expenses in 2015 included the impact of increased stock-based compensation expense in 2015 of approximately $1.4 million. Unallocated corporate expenses in 2015 included the impact of an increase in administrative wages, incentives and payroll taxes, and additional headcount associated with the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

Sales. Sales increased $89.5 million or 19%, to $567.2 million from $477.7 million in 2013. This segment accounted for approximately 75% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2014. The sales increase reflected a 22%, 15%, and 15% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.

Approximately $53.2 million of the revenue improvement in 2014 was attributable to the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2013 and to the 2014 acquisitions. There was minimal revenue contribution in 2014 related to the acquired operations of PolyDyn3 and Charleston. The remaining sales increase of $36.3 million was primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV market penetration; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries of 11% and 7% in 2014, respectively; and (iii) improved residential cabinet and office, medical and institutional furnishings sales in the industrial market.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $19.8 million to $90.0 million in 2014 from $70.2 million in 2013. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 15.9% in 2014 from 14.7% in 2013. Gross profit for 2014 improved primarily as a result of higher revenues relative to overall fixed overhead costs, the impact of acquisitions completed during 2013 and 2014, disciplined cost control and management of certain low margin business, and ongoing organizational and process changes that enhanced labor efficiencies and increased material yields.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $11.9 million to $55.8 million in 2014 from $43.9 million in 2013. Operating income in 2014 included $1.4 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in 2014. Operating income attributable to acquisitions completed in 2013 was immaterial. The improvement in operating income primarily reflected the increase in gross profit mentioned above that was partially offset in 2014 by: (i) increased labor costs for Company fleet drivers and greater utilization of more costly third party contract drivers, particularly in the first half of 2014, in certain manufacturing operations related to the driver shortage previously described; and (ii) to a lesser extent, higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in 2014 due to the incremental impact of acquisitions completed in 2013 and increased sales, salaried and administration spending to support expected growth.

Sales. Sales increased $50.3 million or 36%, to $189.4 million in 2014 from $139.1 million in 2013. This segment accounted for approximately 25% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2014. The sales increase reflected a 49%, 11%, and 39% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.

Approximately $24.8 million of the revenue improvement in 2014 was attributable to the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2013 and to the 2014 acquisitions. Sales were also positively impacted during 2014 by a 7% increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $6.0 million to $29.1 million in 2014 from $23.1 million in 2013. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 15.3% in 2014 compared to 16.6% in 2013. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales for 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of both imported and domestic lower margin products at certain of the Company’s distribution facilities.

Operating Income. Operating income in 2014 increased $2.6 million to $10.6 million from $8.0 million in 2013. Operating income in 2014 included $1.7 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in 2014. Operating income attributable to acquisitions completed in 2013 was immaterial. The overall increase in revenue, as well as the acquisition of several new product lines associated with the West Side distribution business acquired in 2013, made a positive contribution to operating income in 2014. The increase in operating income in 2014 was partially offset by: (i) increased labor costs for Company fleet drivers and greater utilization of more costly third party contract drivers, particularly in the first half of 2014, in certain of our distribution operations related to the driver shortage previously described; (ii) unexpected inefficiencies in our shipping schedules due to the severe winter weather conditions in the Midwest in the first quarter of 2014; and (iii) distribution related overhead and assembly costs in one of our significantly growing distribution operations.

Unallocated corporate expenses in 2014 increased $1.5 million to $10.5 million from $9.0 million in 2013. Unallocated corporate expenses in 2014 included the impact of increased stock-based compensation expense in 2014 of approximately $2.0 million. In addition, the Company incurred certain transaction-related expenses in connection with the evaluation and completion of acquisition opportunities that were partially offset by the recognition of gains associated with certain transactions completed in 2012 and 2013 in which the conditions for payment of contingent consideration were not achieved.

Cash flows from operations represent the net income we earned in the reported periods adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our primary source of liquidity have been cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our 2015 Credit Facility (as defined herein). Our principal uses of cash are to support working capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support our capital allocation strategy, which includes acquisitions, capital expenditures, and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, among others.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $65.6 million in 2015 compared to $45.7 million in 2014. Net income was $42.2 million in 2015 compared to $30.7 million in the prior year. Net of acquisitions, trade receivables decreased $9.0 million in 2015 compared to a $1.9 million increase in 2014, reflecting the impact of plant shutdowns by certain of our larger customers in mid-to-late December 2015 for the holiday season that was partially offset by increased sales levels and seasonal trends in each of those periods, including the post-acquisition sales increases of the acquisitions completed in 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Inventories, net of acquisitions, decreased $3.0 million in 2015, primarily resulting from the Company’s continued focus on improving inventory turns and the management of direct shipment business in the Distribution segment. Partially offsetting the inventories decrease in 2015 were higher sales volumes and related higher inventory levels associated with acquisitions completed in 2015, 2014 and 2013. Inventories, net of acquisitions, increased $1.7 million in 2014 primarily reflecting the sales volumes and inventory levels associated with acquisitions. We will continue to work together with key suppliers to match lead-time and minimum order requirements, although we may see fluctuations in inventory levels from quarter to quarter as a result of taking advantage of strategic buying opportunities.

The $9.6 million net decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2015 compared to the $4.6 million net increase in 2014, primarily reflected the timing of payments related to the Company’s cash management and purchase discount initiatives to maximize discounts available on inventory procurement and the impact of acquisitions.

The Company paid income taxes of $24.1 million and $16.7 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company had various state NOLs of approximately $1.6 million at December 31, 2014, of which approximately $0.7 million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2015. The state NOLs were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax provision for 2015 and 2014. In 2015 and 2014, the Company made quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual 2015 and 2014 federal and state income tax liability.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $45.7 million in 2014 compared to $22.4 million in 2013. Net income was $30.7 million in 2014 compared to $24.0 million in the prior year. Net of acquisitions, trade receivables increased $1.9 million in 2014 and $1.5 million in 2013, primarily reflecting increased sales levels in each of those periods, including the post-acquisition sales increases of the acquisitions completed in 2014, 2013 and 2012. Inventories, net of acquisitions, increased $1.7 million in 2014 and $7.5 million in 2013, primarily reflecting higher sales volumes and related higher inventory levels associated with acquisitions completed in 2014, 2013 and 2012. The $4.6 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities compared to the $3.6 million net decrease in 2013 primarily reflected the timing of payments related to the Company’s cash management, purchase discount initiatives to maximize discounts available on inventory procurement, and the impact of acquisitions.

Investing activities used cash of $147.4 million in 2015 primarily to fund: (i) the acquisitions of Better Way, SCI and North American together totaling $140.2 million in the aggregate; and (ii) capital expenditures of $8.0 million. Investing activities used cash of $78.6 million in 2014 primarily to fund: (i) the acquisitions of Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3, and Charleston, together totaling $72.1 million; and (ii) capital expenditures of $6.5 million. In addition, in the first quarter of 2016, the Company used cash of approximately $36 million, in the aggregate, to fund the acquisitions of Parkland and Progressive. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Investing activities used cash of $24.3 million in 2013 primarily to fund: (i) the acquisitions of Frontline, Premier and West Side, together totaling $16.5 million; and (ii) capital expenditures of $8.7 million, which included the purchase of one of our distribution facilities that we had previously been leasing from an unrelated third party, for approximately $1.7 million. In addition, investing activities provided cash in 2013 of $1.0 million related to net proceeds from the sale of a distribution facility and the sale of various machinery and equipment

The capital plan for full year 2015 included spending related to equipment replacement and upgrades to ensure that our facilities have the capacity, capabilities and technology to facilitate our growth plans, the ongoing replacement of our current ERP system which is progressing as planned, and other strategic capital and maintenance improvements. Our current operating model forecasts capital expenditures for fiscal 2016 of approximately $10.0 million.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $81.7 million in 2015 compared to $33.0 million in the comparable 2014 period. Total borrowings related to the Term Loan (as defined herein) and net borrowings on the 2015 Revolver (as defined herein) were $111.5 million in the aggregate in 2015. These borrowings were primarily used in 2015 to fund the Better Way, SCI and North American acquisitions, stock repurchases and capital expenditures, totaling $170.8 million in the aggregate. In addition, the Company paid down $8.0 million in principal on the Term Loan in accordance with its scheduled debt service requirements.

In 2015, the Company repurchased 618,557 shares of its common stock for a total cost of $22.6 million. In January 2016, the Company repurchased an additional 70,636 shares for a total cost of approximately $3.0 million, thereby fully utilizing the authorization under the Company’s previous stock repurchase program. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. In addition, cash flows from financing activities included $1.9 million of proceeds received from the exercise of stock options in 2015.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $33.0 million in 2014 compared to $1.4 million in 2013. For 2014, long-term debt borrowings, net of debt repayments, were $46.1 million and included borrowings on the revolving line of credit under the 2012 Credit Facility (as defined herein) to fund the 2014 acquisitions, capital expenditures and stock repurchases totaling $92.6 million in the aggregate.

Prior to April 28, 2015, the Company’s debt financing was supported by its credit agreement, dated October 24, 2012, as amended (the “2012 Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the agent and lender (“Wells Fargo”), and Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”) and Key Bank National Association (“Key Bank”), as participants. The 2012 Credit Agreement consisted of a $185.0 million revolving secured senior credit facility (the “2012 Credit Facility”). The 2012 Credit Facility, which was scheduled to mature on October 24, 2017, was replaced by the 2015 Credit Facility discussed below.

The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2015 (the “2015 Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo, as Administrative Agent and a lender, and Fifth Third, Key Bank, Bank of America, N.A., and Lake City Bank as participants, to expand its senior secured credit facility to $250.0 million and extend its maturity to 2020 (the “2015 Credit Facility”). The 2015 Credit Facility is comprised of a $175.0 million revolving credit loan (the “2015 Revolver”) and a $75.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). The 2015 Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s 2012 Credit Agreement. The 2015 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and any domestic subsidiary guarantors.

On August 31, 2015, the Company entered into a first amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement to expand the 2015 Credit Facility to $300.0 million from $250.0 million by expanding the 2015 Revolver to $225.0 million.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had $67.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan and $137.5 million outstanding under the 2015 Revolver.

Pursuant to the 2015 Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include: (i) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, not to exceed 3.00:1.00 for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end; and (ii) a required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, of at least 1.50:1.00 for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end.

In 2015 and 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial debt covenants as required under the terms of the credit agreement in effect at the respective reporting dates. The required maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and the minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio compared to the actual amounts as of and for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2015 are as follows:

Additional information regarding: (i) certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements included in the 2015 Credit Agreement; (ii) the interest rates for borrowings at December 31, 2015 and 2014; and (iii) the composition of the calculation of both the consolidated total leverage ratio and the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio is included in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, which includes selling our products and collecting receivables, available cash reserves and borrowing capacity available under our 2015 Credit Facility. Our principal uses of cash are to support working capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support our capital allocation strategy, which includes acquisitions, capital expenditures, and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, among others.

Borrowings under the 2015 Revolver and the Term Loan under the 2015 Credit Facility are subject to a maximum total borrowing limit of $300.0 million (effective as of August 31, 2015) and are subject to variable rates of interest. The unused availability under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2015 was $94.4 million, including cash on hand. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants under the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our 2015 Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, based on our current cash flow budgets and forecasts of our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

Our ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the 2015 Credit Facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on our maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. In 2016, our management team is focused on increasing market share, maintaining margins, keeping costs aligned with revenue, further improving operating efficiencies, managing inventory levels and pricing, and acquiring businesses and product lines that meet established criteria. In addition, future liquidity and capital resources may be impacted as we continue to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage our operating platform and to repurchase common stock in conjunction with the Company’s new stock buyback program announced in January 2016.

Our working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV and MH industries, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of our customers. In the event that our operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of our capital resources were to become unavailable, we would seek to revise our operating strategies accordingly. We will continue to assess our liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of our operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.

The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2015, and the future periods during which we expect to settle these obligations. We have provided additional details about some of these obligations in our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other than the commercial commitments set forth above, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 most 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 significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies and judgments:

Trade Receivables. We are engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of building products and material for use primarily by the RV and MH industries and other industrial markets. Trade receivables consist primarily of amounts due to us from our normal business activities. We control credit risk related to our trade receivables through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. In assessing the carrying value of its trade receivables, the Company estimates the recoverability by making assumptions based on factors such as current overall and industry-specific economic conditions, historical and anticipated customer performance, historical write-off and collection experience, the level of past-due amounts, and specific risks identified in the accounts receivable portfolio. Additional changes to the allowance could be necessary in the future if a customer’s creditworthiness deteriorates, or if actual defaults are higher than the Company’s historical experience. Any difference could result in an increase or decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method) or net realizable value. Based on the inventory aging and other considerations for realizable value, the Company writes down the carrying value to net realizable value where appropriate. The Company reviews inventory on-hand and records provisions for obsolete inventory based on current assessments of future demands, market conditions, and related management initiatives. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and operating results. Based on the Company’s estimates and assumptions, an allowance for inventory obsolescence of $3.5 million, $1.8 million and $1.3 million was established at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. If market conditions or customer requirements change and are less favorable than those projected by management, inventory allowances are adjusted accordingly.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. Events that may indicate that certain long-lived assets might be impaired include a significant downturn in the economy or the RV or MH industries, and/or a loss of a major customer or several customers. Our cash flow estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and forecasts. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value. Our estimates of fair value represent our best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions. The recoverability of PP&E is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on estimated selling price, appraised value or projected future cash flows. No events or changes in circumstances occurred that required the Company to assess the recoverability of its property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and therefore the Company has not recognized any impairment charges for those years.

All of the Company’s goodwill and long-lived asset impairment assessments are based on established fair value techniques using market or income-based methodologies. When calculating the present value of future cash flows, multiple variables such as forecasted sales volumes and discount rates, are taken into consideration. These analyses require management to estimate both future cash flows and an appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the current business model. The assumptions supporting valuation models, including discount rates and EBITDA multiples are determined using the best estimates as of the date of the impairment review. These estimates are subject to significant uncertainty, and differences in actual future results may require further impairment charges, which may be significant.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets. The Company has made acquisitions in the past that included 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, and trademarks.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets such as 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 significant decline in our share price and market capitalization, a decline in our expected future cash flows, or a significant adverse change in the business climate. A significant adverse change in the business climate could result in a significant loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth. No material events occurred during 2015, 2014 or 2013 that indicated the existence of impairment with respect to our reported goodwill, trademarks, or other intangible assets.

Goodwill and other intangible assets are allocated to the Company’s reporting units at the date they are initially recorded. We perform impairment reviews of goodwill at the reporting unit level, one level below the business segment. A reporting unit constitutes a business for which discrete profit and loss financial information is available. The Company’s reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, are those based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which segregates its businesses by product category and production/distribution process.

Once goodwill has been allocated to a reporting unit, it generally no longer retains its identification with a particular acquisition, but instead becomes identified with the reporting unit as a whole. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes goodwill originating from the acquisitions of Gravure Ink (acquired in the Adorn Holdings, Inc. acquisition), Quality Hardwoods Sales, A.I.A. Countertops, LLC, Infinity Graphics, Décor Mfg., LLC, Creative Wood Designs, Inc., Middlebury Hardwood Products, Inc., Frontline, Premier, Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3, Charleston, Better Way, SCI and North American. While Gravure Ink, AIA, Infinity Graphics, Décor, Creative Wood, Middlebury Hardwoods, Frontline, Premier, Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3, Charleston, Better Way, SCI and North American remain reporting units of the Company for which impairment is assessed, Quality Hardwoods is assessed for impairment as part of the Company’s hardwood door reporting unit. The Company’s Distribution segment includes goodwill originating from the acquisitions of Blazon International Group, West Side, and Foremost, which remain reporting units for which impairment is assessed.

Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist. Newly acquired indefinite-lived assets are more vulnerable to impairments as the assets are recorded at fair value and are then subsequently measured at the lower of fair value or carrying value at the end of each reporting period. As such, immediately after acquisition, even a small decline in the outlook for these products can negatively impact our ability to recover the carrying value and can result in an impairment loss.

In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we either perform a qualitative or quantitative assessment of the composition of the Company’s goodwill for impairment. If initially using the qualitative assessment and the analysis indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company then performs a quantitative assessment. When estimating fair value with the quantitative assessment, the Company uses a market or income-based methodology including a multiple of EBITDA or present value of future cash flows. When calculating the present value of future cash flows, the Company takes into consideration multiple variables, including forecasted sales volumes, discount rates, comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping, current industry and economic conditions, and historical results. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill and other intangible assets are not impaired and no further steps are required.

Based on the results of our analyses , we determined that the estimated fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value for each of our reporting units within the Manufacturing segment and within the Distribution segment for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The goodwill allocated to the Manufacturing and Distribution segment reporting units as of December 31, 2015 was $62.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The comparable goodwill asset balances at December 31, 2014 were $25.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

If applicable, our qualitative assessment includes: (i) an evaluation of macroeconomic conditions; (ii) RV and MH industry and market considerations including wholesale unit shipment levels; (iii) cost factors including price fluctuations on major commodities both purchased for use in various manufactured products and for distribution to customers; (iv) overall financial performance of the Company including the ability to re-finance our credit facility under more favorable terms; (v) completion of acquisitions; (vi) an increase in our product line offerings and an expansion of our customer base; (vii) changes in our stock price valuation; (viii) and other relevant specific events.

In addition, there are no long-lived assets or asset groups, including tangible assets, for which we have determined that undiscounted cash flows are not substantially in excess of the carrying value or that could materially impact our operating results or total shareholders’ equity.

We have not made any material changes to our methods of evaluating goodwill and intangible asset impairments for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to determine impairment in the foreseeable future.

Deferred Income Taxes. The carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets assumes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize these deferred tax assets. If these assumptions change, the Company may be required to record valuation allowances against its gross deferred tax assets, which would cause the Company to record additional income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Management evaluates the potential the Company will be able to realize its gross deferred tax assets and assesses the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. There was no tax valuation allowance at December 31, 2015 and 2014. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

At December 31, 2015, our total debt obligations under our 2015 Credit Agreement were under either LIBOR-based or prime rate-based interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the underlying LIBOR and prime rates would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $2.0 million, assuming average borrowings, including the Term Loan, subject to variable rates of $204.5 million, which was the amount of such borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2015 subject to variable rates.

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, particleboard, fiberglass and aluminum, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, such as the price of oil, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile and continued to fluctuate in 2015. During periods of rising commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass the increased costs to our customers in the form of surcharges and price increases. However, there can be no assurance future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases will match raw material cost increases. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-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 te Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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. As permitted under SEC guidance, management’s assessment of and conclusion regarding the design and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excluded the internal control over financial reporting of the operations of businesses acquired in 2015, which are described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP, audited our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, 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, 2015.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015 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.

Interactive Data Files. The following materials are filed electronically with this Annual Report on Form 10-K:

Attached as Exhibits 101 to this report are the following financial statements from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 formatted in XBRL (“eXtensible Business Reporting Language”): (i) the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position; (ii) the Consolidated Statements of Income; (iii) the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income; (iv) the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity; and (v) the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the related Notes to these financial statements in detail tagging format.

All other financial statement schedules are omitted because they are not applicable or the required information is immaterial or is shown in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.

Pursuant to the Requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this report has been signed below by the following persons on behalf of the registrant and in the capacities and on the dates indicated.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Patrick Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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.

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.

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.

As permitted, the Company has excluded the operations of businesses acquired during 2015, which are described in Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements, from the scope of the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. As such, they have also been excluded from the scope of our audit of internal control over financial reporting.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Patrick Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015 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, 2015, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Revenue Recognition

The Company ships product based on specific orders from customers and revenue is recognized at the time of passage of title and risk of loss to the customer, which is generally upon delivery. The Company’s selling price is fixed and determined at the time of shipment and collectability is reasonably assured and not contingent upon the customer’s use or resale of the product.

The Company records freight billed to customers in net sales and the corresponding costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded in warehouse and delivery expenses. The amounts recorded in warehouse and delivery expenses related to these customer billed freight costs were $1.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.8 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

F-8

Estimated costs related to customer volume rebates and sales incentives are accrued as a reduction of revenue at the time products are sold.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of goods sold includes material costs, direct and indirect labor, overhead expenses, inbound freight charges, inspection costs, internal transfer costs, receiving costs, and other costs.

Warehouse and delivery expenses include salaries and wages, building rent and insurance, and other overhead costs related to distribution operations and delivery costs related to the shipment of finished and distributed products to customers. Purchasing costs are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”). The dilutive effect of Common Stock Equivalents is calculated under the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period. Certain Common Stock Equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share because the exercise prices of those Common Stock Equivalents were greater than the average market price of the common shares. See Note 13 for the calculation of both basic and diluted net income per common share.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from its normal business activities. In assessing the carrying value of its trade receivables, the Company estimates the recoverability by making assumptions based on factors such as current overall and industry-specific economic conditions, historical and anticipated customer performance, historical write-off and collection experience, the level of past-due amounts, and specific risks identified in the trade receivables portfolio.

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

(thousands)	2015			2014			2013
Balance at January 1	$	175		$	225		$	275
Provisions made during the year		471			137			24
Write-offs		(497	)		(193	)		(149	)
Recoveries during the year		1			6			75
Balance at December 31	$	150		$	175		$	225

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method) and net realizable value. Based on the inventory aging and other considerations for realizable value, the Company writes down the carrying value to net realizable value where appropriate. The Company reviews inventory on-hand and records provisions for obsolete inventory based on current assessments of future demand, market conditions, and related management initiatives. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and operating results. The cost of manufactured inventories includes raw materials, inbound freight, labor and overhead. The Company’s distribution inventories include the cost of raw materials and inbound freight.

F-9

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is generally recorded at cost. However, PP&E acquired in connection with an acquisition is recorded at fair value. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method applied to individual items based on estimated useful lives, which generally range from ten to thirty years for buildings and improvements, and from three to seven years for machinery, equipment and transportation equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the related lease term. When properties are retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Long-lived assets other than goodwill and intangible assets that are held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair market value less the estimated cost to sell. The recoverability of PP&E is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on estimated selling price, appraised value or projected future cash flows.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method and are recorded at their respective fair values. Upon acquisition, goodwill and other intangible assets are assigned to reporting units which are one level below the Company’s business segments. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an annual (or under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test based on their estimated fair value. The Company performs the required test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment in the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. Finite-lived intangible assets relate to customer relationships and non-compete agreements. Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at their estimated fair values as determined by an income valuation approach using Level III fair value inputs.

The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process, which requires the Company to make assumptions regarding fair value. First, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value.

If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the second step is completed to compute the impairment amount by determining the “implied fair value” of goodwill. This determination requires the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any remaining unallocated fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is compared to the corresponding carrying value to compute the goodwill impairment amount that is recorded and charged to operations.

F-10

There was no impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

When events or conditions warrant, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and considers whether these assets are impaired. The Company assesses the recoverability of these assets based upon several factors, including management's intention with respect to the assets and their projected future undiscounted cash flows. If projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company adjusts the carrying amounts of such assets to their estimated fair value. A significant adverse change in the Company’s business climate in future periods could result in a significant loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth and could lead to a required assessment of the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets, which may subsequently result in an impairment charge.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are classified as non-current assets on the statement of financial position and are amortized over the life of the related debt or credit facility using the straight-line method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, debt and accounts payable. The Company believes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable are recorded at amounts that approximate their current market values because of the relatively short maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the long-term debt instruments approximates the fair value based upon terms and conditions available to the Company in comparison to the terms and conditions of the outstanding debt.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized in the current year to the extent future deferred tax liability timing differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized.

The Company reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

3.	RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.

F-11

The guidance permits two methods of transition upon adoption: full retrospective and modified retrospective. Under the full retrospective method, prior periods would be restated under the new revenue standard, providing a comparable view across all periods presented. Under the modified retrospective method, prior periods would not be restated. Rather, revenue and other disclosures for periods prior to the effective date would be provided in the notes to the financial statements as previously reported under the current revenue standard.

In August 2015, the FASB issued final revised guidance that defers the effective date of the revenue recognition standard to be for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating both the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance and determining the appropriate method of transition it will use to apply the new standard. It has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the implementation of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that would require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the statement of financial position as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted.

The guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis in which the statement of financial position of each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. These disclosures include the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted, and the effect of the change on the financial statement line items (i.e., debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). Upon adoption of the new guidance, assets related to deferred financing/debt issuance costs will be reclassified and presented net of debt outstanding. The Company plans to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of 2016.

Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for measuring the value of inventory. The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance does not apply to inventory that is being measured using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method.

The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2015 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

In September 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on business combinations simplifying the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. This new guidance requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments for provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period of an acquisition in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2015. The implementation of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

F-12

Income Taxes

In November 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified, on a net basis, as noncurrent in the consolidated statement of financial position. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2016.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that will require that an entity recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for leases in excess of one year that were previously classified as operating leases under U.S. GAAP. The guidance also requires companies to disclose in the footnotes to the financial statements information about the amount, timing, and uncertainty for the payments made for the lease agreements. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance and has not yet determined the impact that the implementation of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

4.	ACQUISITIONS

General

The Company completed a total of 10 acquisitions in the three years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 as discussed below. Each of the acquisitions was funded through borrowings under the Company’s credit facility in existence at the time of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the individual acquisitions were recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position at their estimated fair values as of the respective dates of acquisition.

For each acquisition, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which represents the value of leveraging the Company’s existing purchasing, manufacturing, sales, and systems resources with the organizational talent and expertise of the acquired companies’ respective management teams to maximize efficiencies, revenue impact, market share growth, and net income. Intangible asset values were estimated using income based valuation methodologies. The disclosure of the amortization periods assigned to finite-lived intangible assets is more fully disclosed in Note 7.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, revenue of approximately $101.1 million, $55.9 million and $11.7 million, respectively, was included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income pertaining to the businesses acquired in each such year.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, operating income of approximately $11.8 million, $3.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income pertaining to the businesses acquired in each such year. Acquisition-related costs in the aggregate

associated with the businesses acquired in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were immaterial.

Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, non-compete agreements and trademarks. Customer relationships and non-compete agreements represent finite-lived intangible assets that have been recorded in the Manufacturing and Distribution segments along with related amortization expense. As of December 31, 2015, the remaining intangible assets balance of $106.7 million is comprised of $25.4 million of trademarks which have an indefinite life, and therefore, no amortization expense has been recorded, and $81.3 million pertaining to customer relationships and non-compete agreements which are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 19 years.

For the finite-lived intangible assets attributable to the 2015 acquisitions, the useful life pertaining to non-compete agreements was two to five years for North American, three to five years for SCI, and five years for Better Way. The useful life pertaining to customer relationships for each of the 2015 acquisitions (Better Way, SCI and North American) was 10 years.

Amortization expense for the Company’s intangible assets in the aggregate was $8.8 million, $4.5 million and $2.4 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

F-22

The 2015 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and any domestic subsidiary guarantors. The 2015 Credit Agreement includes certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements and includes the following additional provisions:

	●	The maturity date for the 2015 Credit Facility is April 28, 2020;
	●	The Term Loan will be repaid in installments of approximately $2.7 million per quarter starting on June 30, 2015, with the remaining balance due at maturity;
	●	The interest rates for borrowings under the 2015 Revolver and the Term Loan are the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, with a fee payable by the Company on unused but committed portions of the 2015 Revolver;
	●	The 2015 Revolver includes a sub-limit up to $10.0 million for same day advances (“Swing Line”) which shall bear interest based upon the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

At December 31, 2015, the Company had $67.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan under the LIBOR-based option, and borrowings outstanding under the 2015 Revolver of (i) $133.0 million under the LIBOR-based option and (ii) $4.5 million under the Prime Rate-based option. The interest rate for borrowings at December 31, 2015 was the Prime Rate plus 1.00% (or 4.50%), or LIBOR plus 2.00% (or 2.4375%). At December 31, 2014, the Company had $101.1 million outstanding under the then current revolver, which consisted of $97.0 million of borrowings under the LIBOR-based option and $4.1 million of borrowings under the Prime Rate-based option. The interest rate for borrowings at December 31, 2014 was the Prime Rate plus 0.50% (or 3.75%), or LIBOR plus 1.50% (or 1.6875%). The fee payable on committed but unused portions of the then current revolver was 0.25% and 0.20% at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Pursuant to the 2015 Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include: (a) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, not to exceed 3.00:1.00 for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end; and (b) a required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, of at least 1.50:1.00 for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end.

The consolidated total leverage ratio is the ratio for any period of consolidated total indebtedness (as measured as of the second day following the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter) to consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Consolidated total indebtedness for any period is the sum of: (i) total debt outstanding under the 2015 Revolver and the Term Loan; (ii) capital leases and letters of credit outstanding; and (iii) deferred payment obligations. The consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of consolidated EBITDA less restricted payments, taxes paid and capital expenditures as defined under the 2015 Credit Agreement to consolidated fixed charges. Consolidated fixed charges for any period is the sum of interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan.

F-23

	Required		Actual
Consolidated leverage ratio (12-month period)		3.00		1.95
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (12-month period)		1.50		3.42

Aggregate maturities of long-term debt related to the 2015 Revolver for the next five years ending December 31 are: 2016 - 2019: $0; and 2020 - $137.5 million. The 2015 Revolver long-term debt balance of $137.5 million at December 31, 2015 is due to mature in 2020 in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement.

Aggregate maturities of the Term Loan for the next five years ending December 31 are: 2016 - $10.7 million; 2017 - $10.7 million; 2018 - $10.7 million; 2019: $10.7 million; and 2020 - $24.1 million.

10.	INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 consists of the following:

(thousands)	2015			2014		2013
Current:
Federal	$	21,554		$	13,632	$	8,647
State		3,625			3,120		2,104
Total current		25,179			16,752		10,751
Deferred:
Federal		(1,563	)		1,496		3,670
State		(236	)		156		313
Total deferred		(1,799	)		1,652		3,983
Income taxes	$	23,380		$	18,404	$	14,734

F-24

A reconciliation of the differences between the actual provision for income taxes and the tax provisions for income taxes at the federal statutory income tax rate of 35% for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

(thousands)	2015					2014					2013
Tax provision, at federal statutory income tax rate	$	22,960		35.0	%	$	17,177		35.0	%	$	13,571		35.0	%
State taxes, net of federal benefit		2,654		4.0			2,167		4.4			1,706		4.4
Other, net		(2,234	)	(3.4	)		(940	)	(1.9	)		(543	)	(1.4	)
Income taxes	$	23,380		35.6	%	$	18,404		37.5	%	$	14,734		38.0	%

Other differences between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory income tax rate for 2015 were primarily due to the domestic manufacturing activities deduction and Federal and Indiana R&D credits, which were partially offset by nondeductible expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the difference was primarily attributable to the domestic manufacturing activities deduction that was partially offset by nondeductible expenses.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in deductible or taxable amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the current period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

The Company evaluates current conditions in the RV, MH and residential housing markets, and overall credit markets, as well as consumer confidence and the general economy in the U.S. to determine sustainability of the Company’s levels of profitability in the future. In the absence of specific favorable factors, the Company evaluates recording a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in a tax jurisdiction when it has cumulative financial accounting losses in recent years.

The Company had various state net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $4.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2014, of which approximately $0.7 million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2015 and will expire in varying amounts between 2016 and 2030. While the Company recorded income taxes at an estimated full year effective rate of 35.6% in 2015 and 37.5% in 2014, the state NOLs were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax liability for 2014 and 2015.

The Company did not reflect any unrecognized tax benefits in its financial statements as of December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014 and does not expect any significant changes relating to unrecognized tax benefits in the 12 months following December 31, 2015.

F-25

The composition of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

Long-term deferred tax liabilities, net		(3,837	)		(4,358	)

The Company paid income taxes of $24.1 million, $16.7 million and $8.2 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic tax authorities. For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the years 2012 and later.

COMPENSATION PLANS

Deferred Compensation Obligations

The Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain key employees. The agreements provide for monthly benefits for ten years subsequent to retirement, disability, or death. The Company has accrued an estimated liability based upon the present value of an annuity needed to provide the future benefit payments. The assumed discount rate to measure the liability was 4.5% for both of the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company recognized expense of $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in conjunction with this plan. Life insurance contracts have been purchased which may be used to fund these agreements. The contracts are recorded at their cash surrender value in the statements of financial position. Any differences between actual proceeds and cash surrender value are recorded as gains or losses in the periods presented. Additionally, the Company records gains or losses on the cash surrender value in the period incurred. The gains recognized were immaterial for all periods presented.

Bonus Plan

The Company pays bonuses to certain management and sales personnel. Historically, bonuses are determined annually and are based upon corporate and divisional income levels and the achievement of individually defined performance criteria. The charge to operations amounted to approximately $4.6 million, $4.8 million and $4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Profit-Sharing Plan

The Company has a qualified profit-sharing plan, more commonly known as a 401(k) plan, for all of its full-time and part-time eligible employees upon meeting certain conditions. The plan provides for matching contributions by the Company as defined in the agreement. The contributions and related expense for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were immaterial.

Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Rights, and Stock-Based Incentive Plans

The Company has various stock option and stock-based incentive plans and various agreements whereby stock options, restricted stock awards, and stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) were made available to certain key employees, directors, and others based upon meeting various individual, divisional or company-wide performance criteria and time-based criteria. All such awards qualify and are accounted for as equity awards. Equity incentive plan awards are intended to retain and reward key employees for outstanding performance and efforts as they relate to the Company’s short-term and long-term objectives and its strategic plan.

The Company’s 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the future granting of share options and share awards to its employees, directors and other service providers. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to, or greater than, the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.

The Company recorded compensation expense of $4.7 million, $3.3 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, on the consolidated statements of income for its stock-based compensation plans. As of December 31, 2015, there was approximately $6.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 15.2 months.

Compensation expense related to the fair value of stock awards as of the grant date is calculated based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. In addition, the Company estimates the fair value of all stock option and SARS awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense and include the dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Expected volatilities take into consideration the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of options and SARS represents the period of time that the options and SARS granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical Company trends. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for instruments of a similar term.

Stock Options:

Stock options vest pro-ratably over three years and have nine to ten-year contractual terms.

As of December 31, 2015, there was approximately $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the SARS which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of approximately 11.0 months.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units:

The Company’s stock-based awards consist of both restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). As of December 31, 2015, there was approximately $5.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of approximately 16.0 months.

On February 23, 2016, the Board approved restricted stock grants totaling 133,187 shares. The restricted shares cliff-vest over a three-year period based on performance- and time-based contingencies. The Company expects to expense approximately $5.5 million related to those shares pro-ratably over the vesting period on the consolidated statement of income.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards possess voting rights, are included in the calculation of actual shares outstanding, and include both performance- and time-based contingencies. The grant date fair value of the awards is expensed over the related service or performance period. Time-based shares cliff vest at the conclusion of the required service period, which ranges from one to three years. The performance contingent shares are earned based on the achievement of a cumulative financial performance target over a three-year period and vest at the conclusion of the measurement period.

RSUs

Since RSUs do not possess voting rights, they are not included in the calculation of shares outstanding. The RSUs include a performance-based contingency. The grant date fair value of the awards is expensed over the related performance period. The performance contingent RSUs are earned based on the achievement of a cumulative financial performance target over a three-year period and vest at the conclusion of the measurement period. In 2015 and 2014, the Company granted 22,000 and 22,001 RSUs, respectively, at a weighted-average grant date stock price of $24.81 per share.

17.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

A description of the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

Manufacturing - The Company’s lamination operations utilize various materials, such as lauan, medium density fiberboard (“MDF”), gypsum, and particleboard, which are bonded by adhesives or a heating process to a number of products, including vinyl, paper, foil, and high-pressure laminates.

	●	Better Way Partners, LLC d/b/a Better Way Products (“Better Way”), a manufacturer of fiberglass front and rear caps, marine helms and related fiberglass components primarily used in the RV, marine and transit vehicle markets, with operations in New Paris, Bremen and Syracuse, Indiana, for a net purchase price of $40.5 million.
	●	Structural Composites of Indiana, Inc. (“SCI”), a Ligonier, Indiana-based manufacturer of large, custom molded fiberglass front and rear caps and roofs, primarily used in the RV market, and specialty fiberglass components for the transportation, marine and other industrial markets, for a net purchase price of approximately $20.0 million.
	●	North American Forest Products, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, North American Moulding, LLC (collectively, “North American”), an Edwardsburg, Michigan-based manufacturer and distributor, primarily for the RV market, of profile wraps, custom mouldings, laminated panels and moulding products, for a net purchase price of approximately $79.7 million. North American is also a manufacturer and supplier of raw and processed softwoods products, primarily used in the RV and MH industries.

	●	Net sales increased $184.6 million or 25% in 2015 to $920.3 million, compared to $735.7 million in 2014 primarily reflecting: (i) increased RV, MH, and industrial market penetration through acquisitions and market share gains; (ii) improved office and institutional furnishings and retail and commercial fixtures sales in the industrial market; (iii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries; and (iv) improved residential housing starts. Wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries increased 5% and 10%, respectively, in 2015 compared to the prior year. New housing starts increased 11% for 2015 compared to the prior year.

	●	Gross profit increased $33.8 million to $152.3 million, or 16.5% of net sales in 2015, compared with gross profit of $118.5 million or 16.1% of net sales in 2014. Gross profit was positively impacted by higher sales levels relative to our overall fixed overhead costs, new higher margin product lines, and the impact of acquisitions.

	●	Operating income increased $18.4 million to $69.9 million in 2015, compared to $51.5 million in 2014. Operating income in 2015 was positively impacted by the factors described above.

	●	Invested approximately $140 million in three acquisitions during 2015 – Better Way, SCI and North American. These three acquisitions had estimated full year 2015 revenues, in the aggregate, of approximately $233 million, of which approximately $101 million was included in our fiscal 2015 operating results from the respective dates of acquisition.
	●	Reinvested approximately $8 million through capital expenditures, which included spending related to the replacement and upgrading of existing production equipment at several of our manufacturing operations, strategic capital and maintenance expenditures, and certain Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) costs.
	●	Repurchased approximately $23 million of the Company’s common stock.
	●	Introduced over 240 new products to the market including line extensions.
	●	Increased our market penetration by adjusting our focus to drive increased residential cabinet and office, medical, and institutional furnishings content as evidenced by a 27% year-over-year sales increase in the industrial market.
	●	Increased our RV content per unit (based on a trailing twelve-month basis) to $1,845 in 2015 from $1,536 in 2014.
