Nature of Business
Patrick Industries, Inc. (“Patrick” or the “Company”) operations consist of the manufacture and distribution of component products and materials for use primarily by the recreational vehicle (“RV”), marine, manufactured housing (“MH”) and industrial markets for customers throughout the United States and Canada. At December 31, 2021, the Company maintained 174 manufacturing plants and 64 distribution facilities located in 23 states with a small presence in China and Canada. Patrick operates in two business segments: Manufacturing and Distribution.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patrick and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In preparation of Patrick’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, management evaluated all material subsequent events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date of issuance of the Form 10-K to determine those requiring recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 20 for additional information relating to subsequent events.
Financial Periods
The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning thirteen weeks, with the first, second and third quarters ending on the Sunday closest to the end of the first, second and third 13-week periods, respectively. The first three quarters of fiscal year 2021 ended on March 28, 2021, June 27, 2021 and September 26, 2021. The first three quarters of fiscal year 2020 ended on March 29, 2020, June 28, 2020 and September 27, 2020. The first three quarters of fiscal year 2019 ended on March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 29, 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates include the valuation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the valuation of long-lived assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts, excess and obsolete inventories, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, the valuation of estimated contingent consideration and deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from the amounts reported.
Revenue Recognition
See Note 3 for further information on our revenue recognition accounting policies.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of goods sold includes material costs, direct and indirect labor, depreciation, 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.
Stock Based Compensation
Compensation expense related to the fair value of restricted 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 stock appreciation rights (“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, including the expected option term, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and volatility of the Company's common stock. 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. New shares are issued upon exercise of options. Forfeitures of stock based compensation are recognized as incurred.
Net 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, SARS, and certain restricted stock awards (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. Common Stock Equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. See Note 14 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 and Other 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 historical and forward-looking factors, such as historical and anticipated customer performance, current overall and industry-specific economic conditions, historical write-off and collection experience, the level of past-due amounts, and specific risks identified in the trade receivables portfolio. Other receivables consist of employee advances, insurance claims and other miscellaneous items.
Allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and changes in the allowance were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
Inventories 
Inventories are generally stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method or, for certain inventories, average costing 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 excess and obsolete inventory based on current assessments of future demand, market conditions, and related management initiatives. The cost of manufactured inventories includes raw materials, inbound freight, labor and overhead. The Company’s distribution inventories include the cost of materials purchased for resale and inbound freight.
Prepaid Expenses and Other
Prepaid expenses and other consists of the following at December 31, 2021 and 2020:
(thousands) 2021 2020
Vendor rebates receivable $ 8,702  $ 6,527 
Prepaid expenses 20,380  16,510 
Vendor and other deposits 35,396  14,945 
Total $ 64,478  $ 37,982 
Property, Plant and Equipment 
Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is generally recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method applied to individual items based on estimated useful lives, which generally range from 10 to 30 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. 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  
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an annual impairment test based on their estimated fair value. The Company performs the required test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment in the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. As part of the annual goodwill test, we estimate the fair value of our reporting units using both an income and market based approach. The market approach includes a comparison of multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the reporting units to similar businesses or guideline companies whose securities are actively traded in public markets. The income approach calculates the present value of expected cash flows to determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units. Additionally, the income approach requires us to estimate future cash flows, the timing of these cash flows, and a discount rate (based on a weighted average cost of capital), which represents the time value of money and the inherent risk and uncertainty of the future cash flows. The assumptions we use to estimate future cash flows are consistent with the assumptions that our reporting units use for internal planning purposes. When calculating the present value of future cash flows under the income approach, we take into consideration multiple variables, including forecasted sales volumes and operating income, current industry and economic conditions, and historical results.
If we determine that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. Our fourth quarter 2021 goodwill impairment test concluded that the fair values of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Our 2021 indefinite-lived intangibles test also concluded that the fair values of intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values.
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. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, as detailed further in Note 7, and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist.
Fair Value and Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair values are separated into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) based on the assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine fair value. Each fair value measurement must be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 inputs, which are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data).

(5) The estimated fair value of the Company's contingent consideration is discussed further in Note 4.
Income Taxes 
Income tax expense is calculated based on statutory tax rates of the federal, state, and international jurisdictions in which the Company operates and income earned or apportioned to each of these respective jurisdictions, as well as any additional tax planning available to the Company in these jurisdictions. Certain income and expenses are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes.
Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred taxes are recognized based on temporary differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when 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.  
Reclassified Amounts
Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior year financial statements to conform with current year presentation, and these reclassifications have no impact on the overall financial information.
