Elkhart, Indiana - May 7, 2019 - LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII) (“LCI”, or the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc., supplies domestically and internationally, a broad array of engineered components for the leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the recreation and industrial product markets, and the related aftermarkets of those industries, today reported first quarter 2019 results.

“We continue to execute on our diversification strategy, which delivered high double-digit growth in our adjacent markets, aftermarket, and international sales together which now make up 39 percent of our last twelve months sales. This strategy has proven critical in the current decreased volume operating environment in our Recreational Vehicle OEM segment, as it offset wholesale shipments that were down roughly 30 percent during the quarter as dealers continue to normalize inventory levels. We also remain steadfast in our efforts that are bearing fruit to enhance overall operational efficiencies to mitigate higher material costs, as operating margins, while lower year-over-year, outpaced our expectations during the first quarter,” said LCI Industries’ Chief Executive Officer, Jason Lippert. “As we enter the prime retail selling season, we believe that channel inventories will move towards more appropriate levels by the end of the second quarter. In the meantime, we continue to pursue opportunities for content growth, acquisitions, and market share gains, and are confident our strong leadership position in RVs, as well as in our emerging businesses, will drive long-term shareholder value.”

First Quarter 2019 Results

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2019 were $592.2 million, a decline of nine percent from 2018 first quarter net sales of $650.5 million. Net income in the first quarter of 2019 was $34.4 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, compared to net income of $47.3 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2018.

The decrease in year-over-year net sales for the first quarter of 2019 reflects lower RV wholesale shipments as dealers normalize their inventory levels, offset by continued growth in the Company’s Adjacent Industries OEM, aftermarket, and international markets. Net sales from acquisitions completed by the Company over the twelve months ended March 31, 2019, contributed $31.2 million in the first quarter of 2019.

The Company’s content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019, increased $187 to $3,504, compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, of $3,317. The Company’s



content per motorhome RV for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019, increased $172 to $2,500, compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, of $2,328. The content increases are a result of organic growth, including new product introductions, as well as acquisitions.

April 2019 Results

April 2019 consolidated net sales are approximately $218 million, down 8% from April 2018. Sales continue to be impacted by reduced production rates by the RV OEMs.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 24 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, higher than the comparable prior year period of 19 percent primarily due to a year over year reduction in the excess tax benefits related to the vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation awards.

Balance Sheet and Other Items

At March 31, 2019, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $14.3 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from its balance of $14.9 million at the beginning of the year. The Company generated cash flow from operations of $52.6 million and invested $24.4 million in capital expenditures as well as $15.0 million for dividend payments to shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company’s outstanding debt was $286.3 million at March 31, 2019.
