Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company previously had two reportable segments, the recreational vehicle products segment (the “RV Segment”) and the manufactured housing products segment (the “MH Segment”). The Company has recently increased its focus on the significant opportunities in the aftermarket for its products, primarily sales to retail dealers, wholesale distributors and service centers. Additionally, over the past several years, sales of components for manufactured homes have become a smaller part of the Company’s business, largely due to the growth the Company has experienced with respect to its components sold to customers for traditional recreational vehicles as well as the expanded use of its components in other non-RV applications, which we refer to as adjacent industries. Unit growth for MH Segment products has also been lower over the last decade, primarily due to the real estate, credit and economic environment, including the availability of site built homes at stable prices and high interest rate spreads between conventional mortgages for site-built homes and loans for manufactured homes. In response to these changes in the Company’s business, subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Company modified its internal reporting structure, reflecting a change in how its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assesses the performance of the Company’s operating results and make decisions about resource allocations. The Company’s new reportable segments are the OEM Segment and the Aftermarket Segment. Intersegment sales are insignificant.

The OEM Segment, which accounted for 92 percent and 93 percent of consolidated net sales for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, manufactures or distributes a broad array of components for the leading OEMs of RVs and adjacent industries, including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; pontoon boats; manufactured homes; modular housing; and mobile office units. Approximately 71 percent of the Company’s OEM Segment net sales for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 were of components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs.

The Aftermarket Segment, which accounted for 8 percent and 7 percent of consolidated net sales for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, supplies components to the related aftermarket channels of the RV and adjacent industries, primarily to retail dealers, wholesale distributors and service centers. The Aftermarket Segment also includes the sale of replacement glass and awnings to fulfill insurance claims.

Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company’s resources are made by the Company’s CODM, with oversight by the Board of Directors. The CODM evaluates the performance of each segment based upon segment operating profit or loss, generally defined as income or loss before interest and income taxes. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources are also based on each segment’s utilization of assets. Management of debt is a corporate function. The accounting policies of the OEM and Aftermarket Segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2015. The change in reported segments had no effect on the Company’s net income, total assets or liabilities, or stockholders’ equity.
