Elkhart, Indiana - February 9, 2021 - 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 fourth quarter and full year 2020 results.
“2020 proved to be a historic year for LCI Industries in many respects, starting with our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related shutdowns, and culminating with record annual net sales of $2.8 billion. This could not have been possible without the tremendous efforts of our team. They successfully navigated an unprecedented economic environment to capture incredible industry demand, while also working to mitigate supply chain and labor constraints that have impacted the wider RV and marine space. Our team marched right into the storm, led by an experienced leadership team, which has proven time and again that they can pivot quickly – even in times of global crisis – to position LCI Industries to emerge stronger and ready for growth. This outperformance is a testament to the strong, cohesive culture which we continue to foster throughout our Company, and I am thankful for each and every one of our teammates across the globe,” commented Jason Lippert, LCI Industries’ President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Furthermore, our focus on operational excellence and commitment to innovation enabled strong organic growth during the year, and importantly, we continued to execute on our diversification strategy, expanding further into the marine and adjacent industries through the acquisitions of Challenger Door and Veada Industries to further establish LCI Industries as an industry leader,” continued Lippert. “We believe that retail tailwinds, which supported our growth in 2020, will remain elevated well into 2021 and beyond. Strong demand for recreational products
continues, bolstered by expanded accessibility from popular services like peer-to-peer rentals and remote work and school, along with the significant reduction in air travel, all of which draw more consumers into the outdoor lifestyle. I would like to again thank all of our team for their hard work as we look to maintain this momentum, accelerate growth and deliver value to our customers, shareholders, team members, and communities in the new year.”
Fourth Quarter 2020 Results
Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $783.0 million, an increase of 39 percent from 2019 fourth quarter net sales of $564.0 million. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $48.7 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, compared to net income of $28.8 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $88.1 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $57.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Additional information regarding adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, are provided in the "Supplementary Information - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" section below.
The increase in year-over-year net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by record RV retail demand, in addition to the impact of acquisitions and organic growth across the Company's aftermarket segment and international markets. Net sales from acquisitions completed in 2019 and 2020 contributed approximately $73 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The Company's average product content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV, adjusted to remove Furrion sales from prior periods, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, increased $44 to $3,390, compared to $3,346 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. The content increase in towables was a result of organic growth, including new product introductions.
Full Year 2020 Results
Consolidated net sales for the full year 2020 were $2.8 billion, an increase of 18 percent from full year 2019 net sales of $2.4 billion. Net income for the full year 2020 was $158.4 million, or $6.27 per diluted share, compared to net income of $146.5 million, or $5.84 per diluted share, for the full year 2019. Adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $164.0 million, or $6.49 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $328.2 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $275.6 million for the year ended December 31, 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 full year 2020 was primarily driven by the impact of acquisitions, organic growth in the Company's aftermarket segment, and record RV retail demand following COVID-19 shutdowns in the first half of the year. Net sales from acquisitions completed in 2019 and 2020 contributed approximately $375 million in 2020.
January 2021 Results
January 2021 consolidated net sales were approximately $309 million, up 38 percent from January 2020, as the significant increase in RV production continued into the new year to meet elevated RV retail demand. While the supply chain continues to have challenges, major issues were addressed through the course of 2020 and we are encouraged by the fact that we saw OEMs reduce downtime due to supply chain related issues in January.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate was 24.4 percent and 20.0 percent for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 23.5 percent and 18.5 percent for the year and quarter ended
December 31, 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted during the fourth quarter of 2020 due to discrete adjustments, which resulted in an increase to diluted earnings per share of $0.15.
Balance Sheet and Other Items
At December 31, 2020, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $51.8 million, up from $35.4 million at December 31, 2019. The Company generated net cash flows from operations of $231.4 million and used $182.1 million for acquisitions, $70.4 million for dividend payments to shareholders, and $57.3 million for capital expenditures in the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. The Company's outstanding long-term indebtedness, including current maturities, was $738.2 million at December 31, 2020, and the Company remained in compliance with its debt covenants. The Company believes that its current liquidity is adequate 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 twelve month period ended December 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 twelve month period ended December 31, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net, 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 twelve month period ended December 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.
