Elkhart, Indiana - November 5, 2019 - LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII) ("LCI" or the "Company"), which 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 transportation product markets, and the related aftermarkets of those industries, today reported third quarter 2019 results.

"We executed further on our diversification strategy in the third quarter, again delivering notable growth in our aftermarket and international sales, which now together make up over 41 percent of our last twelve months sales. Importantly, we have been able to grow these businesses despite decreased recreational vehicle and marine volumes as dealers move closer to more normalized inventory levels. Our ability to continually outperform the industry by delivering innovative products and leveraging our strengths in new markets, while at the same time, expanding margins through our proactive measures and operational enhancements, is a testament to our strategy," said LCI Industries' Chief Executive Officer, Jason Lippert. "As we look forward, our team remains focused on driving financial performance and generating shareholder value as we make progress on our diversification strategy to build momentum for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020."

Third Quarter 2019 Results

Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2019 were $586.2 million, a decline of 3 percent from 2018 third quarter net sales of $604.2 million. Net income in the third quarter of 2019 was $35.8 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, compared to net income of $33.8 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018.

The decrease in year-over-year net sales for the third quarter of 2019 reflects a continuation of lower RV wholesale shipments seen throughout the year as dealers appear to be completing corrections of their inventory levels, which is expected to be completed by the end of this year, offset by continued growth in the Company's aftermarket and international markets. Net sales from acquisitions completed by the Company over the twelve months ended September 30, 2019, contributed $18.4 million in the third quarter of 2019.

The Company's content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV for the twelve months ended September 30, 2019, increased $77 to $3,531, compared to $3,454 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2018. The content increase in towables was a result of organic growth, including new product introductions and price increases, as well as acquisitions. The Company's content per motorhome RV for the twelve months ended September 30, 2019,


decreased $71 to $2,405, compared to $2,476 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2018. The content decrease in motorhomes was primarily a result of the wholesale mix shifting to smaller units.

October 2019 Results

October 2019 consolidated net sales were approximately $228 million, up 4 percent from October 2018. Sales continue to be impacted by reduced production rates by the RV OEMs.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 24.2 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, higher than the comparable prior year period of 22.5 percent, primarily due to a year-over-year increase in state income taxes.

Balance Sheet and Other Items

At September 30, 2019, the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balance was $27.5 million, an increase of $12.5 million from the balance of $14.9 million at the beginning of the year. The ending balance includes restricted cash of $3.3 million related to the acquisition of Lewmar. The Company generated cash flow from operations of $209.5 million and invested $47.8 million in capital expenditures, $53.9 million in acquisitions, and $47.5 million for dividend payments to shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company's outstanding debt was $272.4 million at September 30, 2019.
