Elkhart, Indiana - May 5, 2020 - LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII) which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. ("LCI"), supplies a broad array of highly 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 first quarter 2020 results.

“We delivered an 11% increase in revenues during the first quarter of 2020, despite the about-face in demand that occurred late in the quarter. As we began the year, RV retail sales trended positively, largely outperforming industry expectations. In addition, our diversification strategy continued to bear fruit as we saw strong growth across our adjacent markets, aftermarket, and international businesses,” commented Jason Lippert, LCI Industries' President and Chief Executive Officer. “I am incredibly proud of our team for not only its superior execution during the quarter, but also the quick reaction to adjust to the production halt at most of our OEM customers, as well as many of our facilities across North America and Europe. As the world changed before our eyes, we took the crucial steps to protect the health and safety of our team members and implement cost management initiatives in an effort to help mitigate long-term impacts to the business.”

“The long-term fundamentals of our business are strong. Summer travel plans are being significantly altered for most consumers as air travel, cruise ships, and hotels are likely going to be less popular, at least in the near term. As a result, the outdoor recreational products business is expected to accelerate. RVs and boats provide attractive alternatives to vacation more safely as families are eager to get out of the house. At the same time, RVing and boating offer a great solution to social distancing for families that want to travel the country and experience the great outdoors. In this new normal, our strong competitive position and innovative products have supported better-than-expected results for April as well as OEM orders already received for May,” continued Mr. Lippert. “In the near-term, we remain focused on navigating the current environment, advancing our diversification strategy, successfully integrating our latest acquisitions, and maintaining our investment in R&D. We feel confident we have the necessary infrastructure, balance sheet, and leadership to navigate this crisis and emerge a stronger company.”




First Quarter 2020 Results

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2020 were $659.7 million, an increase of 11 percent from 2019 first quarter net sales of $592.2 million. Net income in the first quarter of 2020 was $28.2 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $34.4 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2020 was $32.9 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, excluding a non-cash charge recognized in cost of sales related to the inventory fair value step-up for CURT, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 was $75.1 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $66.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. Additional information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per common share, and adjusted EBITDA, as well as reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, are provided in the "Supplementary Information - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" section below.

The increase in year-over-year net sales for the first quarter of 2020 reflects acquisitions and organic growth across the Company's adjacent industries OEM, aftermarket and international markets, partially offset by the impact of customer shutdowns in response to the spread of COVID-19. Net sales from acquisitions completed by the Company contributed $99.5 million in the first quarter of 2020.

The Company's content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV, adjusted to remove Furrion sales from prior periods, for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020, increased $89 to $3,354, compared to $3,265 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. The content increase in towables was a result of organic growth, including new product introductions, partially offset by price reductions. The Company's content per motorhome RV, adjusted to remove Furrion sales from prior periods, for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020, decreased $110 to $2,327, compared to $2,437 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. The content decrease in motorhomes was primarily a result of the wholesale mix shifting to smaller units.

April 2020 Results

April 2020 consolidated net sales were approximately $52 million, down 76 percent from April 2019 as the majority of our manufacturing locations were closed during the month.

Current expectations are that many of the OEM customers we supply are planning to resume operations in early May 2020 at reduced capacity to fulfill retail dealer backlog orders. The Company resumed operations to varying degrees for the majority of its facilities on May 4, 2020, to meet the demand requirements of its customers. The current plans are subject to change as the ultimate duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company's and its customers' operations is presently unclear. The anticipated increase in sales, along with the significant cost reduction actions taken by the Company, are expected to result in positive cash flows for May, offsetting the net cash outflow resulting from production suspensions in April.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 27.8 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to 24.0 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The effective tax rate was higher primarily due to a year-over-year reduction in the excess tax benefits related to the vesting of equity-based compensation awards, a reduction of income before income taxes, and an increase in non-deductible expenses.

Balance Sheet and Other Items

At March 31, 2020, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $98.0 million, up from the balance of $35.4 million at the beginning of the year. The Company generated cash flows from operations of $44.8 million and used $95.8 million for acquisitions, $16.3 million for dividend payments to shareholders, and $8.0 million in capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company's outstanding debt was $768.8 million at March 31, 2020, and the Company remained in compliance with its debt covenants. The Company believes it has adequate liquidity to meet operating needs for the foreseeable future.

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has provided the non-GAAP performance measures of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per common share, and adjusted EBITDA to illustrate and improve comparability of its results from period to period. Adjusted net income is defined as net income adjusted for items that impact the comparability of the Company's results from period to period, which consisted of the inventory fair value step-up from the acquisition of CURT and related tax impacts during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Adjusted diluted net income per common share is defined as net income per common share adjusted for items that impact the comparability of the Company's results from period to period, which consisted of the inventory fair value step-up from the acquisition of CURT and related tax impacts during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and other adjustments made in order to present comparable results from period to period, which consisted of the inventory fair value step-up from the acquisition of CURT during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company considers these non-GAAP measures in evaluating and managing the Company's operations and believes that discussion of results adjusted for these items is meaningful to investors because it provides a useful analysis of ongoing underlying operating trends. The adjusted measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
