Patrick Industries, Inc. Reports Third Quarter and
Nine Months 2016 Financial Results

ELKHART, IN - October 27, 2016- Patrick Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: PATK), a major manufacturer and distributor of building and component products for the recreational vehicle (“RV”), manufactured housing (“MH”) and industrial markets, today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2016.
Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Net sales for the third quarter of 2016 increased $89.4 million or 42%, to $304.2 million from $214.8 million in the same quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to a 43% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, which reflected the incremental contribution from acquisitions completed in 2015 and 2016, and industry growth. According to industry sources, RV industry wholesale unit shipments increased approximately 19% in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year. Sales to the RV industry represented 73% of the Company’s third quarter 2016 sales. Revenue from the MH industry, which represented 14% of the Company’s third quarter 2016 sales, increased 26%. The Company estimates that wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry rose approximately 5% from the third quarter of 2015. Additionally, sales to the industrial markets increased 50% compared to the prior year period. The industrial market sector, which is tied primarily to residential housing and non-residential construction spending, accounted for 13% of the Company’s third quarter 2016 sales.
For the third quarter of 2016, Patrick reported operating income of $20.1 million, an increase of 32%, or $4.9 million, from the $15.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2015. Net income in the third quarter of 2016 increased 34% to $12.0 million from $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, while net income per diluted share increased 36% to $0.79 from $0.58.
Todd Cleveland, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased with our third quarter revenue growth that was supported by our acquisition and strategic growth initiatives, as well as continued strength in the RV and MH markets. In addition, there was optimism and excitement coming out of the recent RV manufacturers’ open houses held in September." Mr. Cleveland further noted, “MH industry growth continues to outpace new housing starts, indicating increased demand. Our industrial revenues grew at a significant pace as we introduce products into adjacent markets and position our industrial sales team to penetrate new markets.”
“Overall, we remain encouraged by the ongoing strength in the RV market and the related demographic trends supporting the opportunity for long-term industry growth potential," stated Andy Nemeth, President. “We experienced demand levels during the third quarter that exceeded expected seasonal demand patterns, particularly in the RV industry. In anticipation of continuing strong demand in the fourth quarter and in preparation for continued growth into 2017, we launched a strategic capital expenditure program in the third quarter of 2016 centered around investment in facility improvements, increased capacity, and more advanced automation. This initiative, which involves an incremental $4.5 million of capital spending starting in the third quarter of 2016 and into 2017, will help ensure we have adequate capacity to meet demand, improve operating efficiencies, and address our customers’ changing needs and buying patterns as they look for new, innovative products in the marketplace.”





Nine Months 2016 Financial Results
Net sales for the first nine months of 2016 increased $226.3 million or 34%, to $898.0 million from $671.7 million in the same period in 2015. For the first nine months of 2016, the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, which represented 75% of its nine months 2016 sales, increased by 33%. According to industry sources, RV industry wholesale unit shipments increased approximately 14% in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the prior year. Additionally, revenue from the MH industry, which represented 13% of the Company’s nine months 2016 sales, rose 25% compared to the prior year as MH wholesale unit shipments, as estimated by the Company, increased by approximately 14%. Revenue from the industrial market increased 46% and benefited primarily from acquisitions and market share gains, particularly in the commercial and institutional fixtures markets. The industrial market, which accounted for 12% of the Company’s nine months 2016 sales, saw new housing starts increase by approximately 4% for the first nine months of 2016 compared to the prior year. The Company estimates that approximately 50% of its industrial market sales are linked to the residential housing sector and its sales to the industrial markets generally lag new housing starts by approximately six to nine months.
The Company’s RV content per unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the third quarter of 2016 increased approximately 20% to $2,085 from $1,739 for the third quarter of 2015. The MH content per unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the third quarter of 2016 increased approximately 5% to an estimated $1,911 from $1,820 for the third quarter of 2015.
For the first nine months of 2016, Patrick reported operating income of $68.7 million, an increase of $17.6 million or 34%, from the $51.1 million reported in the first nine months of 2015. Net income in the first nine months of 2016 increased 35% to $40.8 million from $30.2 million in the first nine months of 2015, while net income per diluted share increased 37% to $2.68 from $1.95.
The Company invested approximately $127.6 million, in the aggregate, for acquisitions, capital expenditures and stock repurchases in the first nine months of 2016, while total debt, net of cash on hand, increased $75.0 million to $278.8 million at September 25, 2016 from $203.8 million at December 31, 2015. Patrick’s total assets increased $152.5 million to $534.1 million at September 25, 2016 from $381.6 million at December 31, 2015, primarily reflecting the addition of acquisition-related assets, seasonality and overall growth.
In the first nine months of 2016, the Company repurchased 110,738 shares, in the aggregate, of its common stock at an average price of $42.14 for a total cost of $4.7 million under its stock buyback programs.
“Our performance in the first nine months of the year is a reflection of the dedication and commitment of our more than 4,800 team members in our ongoing efforts to better serve our customer base with new and innovative high-quality product lines and provide exceptional customer service," Mr. Cleveland further commented. "Our team will continue to execute on our strategic initiatives, positioning ourselves to capitalize on strategic acquisitions, grow market share, and increase our content per unit.”
