LCI INDUSTRIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of LCI Industries and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“LCII” and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). LCII has no unconsolidated subsidiaries. LCII, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert Components” or “LCI”), supplies, domestically and internationally, a broad array of components for the leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and adjacent industries including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; trucks; pontoon boats; trains; manufactured homes; and modular housing. The Company also supplies components to the related aftermarkets of these industries, primarily by selling to retail dealers, wholesale distributors and service centers. At June 30, 2017, the Company operated 52 manufacturing and distribution facilities located throughout the United States and in Canada and Italy.

Most industries where the Company sells products or where its products are used historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits have generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. However, because of fluctuations in dealer inventories, the impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, the timing of dealer orders, and the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide shipments from time to time, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years. Additionally, sales of components to the aftermarket channels of these industries tend to be counter-seasonal.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in its December 31, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, sales and purchase rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, net assets of acquired businesses, income taxes, warranty and product recall obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include some information necessary to conform to annual reporting requirements.

Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment annually in November, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist.

Any change in the goodwill amounts resulting from foreign currency translations and purchase accounting adjustments are presented as “Other” in the above table.

6.    LONG-TERM INDEBTEDNESS

At June 30, 2017 and 2016, and December 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its line of credit.

On April 27, 2016, the Company announced the refinancing of its line of credit through an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., and 1st Source Bank. The agreement amended and restated the existing line of credit, which now expires on April 27, 2021 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). In connection with this amendment and restatement, the line of credit was increased from $100.0 million to $200.0 million, and contains a feature allowing the Company to draw up to $50.0 million in approved foreign currencies, including Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and euros. The maximum borrowings under the line of credit can be further increased by $125.0 million, subject to certain conditions. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (defined in the Amended Credit Agreement as the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate of JPMorgan Chase, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 percent and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) for a one month interest period plus 1.0 percent), plus additional interest ranging from 0.0 percent to 0.625 percent (0.0 percent at June 30, 2017) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition, or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a period equal to one, two, three, six or twelve months as selected by the Company, plus additional interest ranging from 1.0 percent to 1.625 percent (1.0 percent at June 30, 2017) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in issued, but undrawn, standby letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company’s line of credit was $197.6 million at June 30, 2017.

On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into a $150.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”). On March 20, 2015, the Company issued $50.0 million of Senior Promissory Notes (“Series A Notes”) to Prudential for a term of five years, at a fixed interest rate of 3.35 percent per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, of which the entire amount was outstanding at June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates the carrying value, as estimated using quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows based on similar borrowing arrangements.

LCI INDUSTRIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)



On March 30, 2017, the Company amended its “shelf-loan” facility to extend the term through March 30, 2020. In connection with this amendment, the facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million (excluding the Company’s Series A Notes already outstanding). Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. Availability under the Company’s “shelf-loan” facility was $150.0 million at June 30, 2017. However, the Amended Credit Agreement limits the aggregate indebtedness outstanding to Prudential from time to time to $150.0 million; therefore, currently the Company can only access an additional $100 million under the shelf-loan facility. The Company is currently discussing a proposed amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase and the other lenders to address this limitation.

Borrowings under both the line of credit and the “shelf-loan” facility are secured on a pari-passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (including up to 65 percent of the equity interest of certain “controlled foreign corporations.”)

Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility, the Company is required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

Availability under both the Amended Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility is subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at June 30, 2017. The remaining availability under these facilities was $297.6 million at June 30, 2017. The Company believes the availability under the Amended Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility is adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

7.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingent Consideration

In connection with several business acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a liability for the fair value of this contingent consideration at June 30, 2017 and 2016, based on the present value of the expected future cash flows using a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital of 13.6 percent and 12.4 percent, respectively.

As required, the liability for this contingent consideration is measured at fair value quarterly, considering actual sales of the acquired products, updated sales projections, and the updated market participant weighted average cost of capital. Depending upon the weighted average costs of capital and future sales of the products which are subject to contingent consideration, the Company could record adjustments in future periods.

(b) 
Amounts represent the fair value of estimated remaining payments. The total estimated remaining payments as of June 30, 2017 are $20.2 million undiscounted. The liability for contingent consideration expires at various dates through September 2029. Certain of the contingent consideration arrangements are subject to a maximum payment amount, while the remaining arrangements have no maximum contingent consideration.

Furrion Distribution and Supply Agreement

In July 2015, the Company entered into a six-year exclusive distribution and supply agreement with Furrion Limited (“Furrion”), a Hong Kong based firm that designs, engineers and supplies premium electronics. This agreement provides the Company with the rights to distribute Furrion’s complete line of products to OEMs and aftermarket customers in the RV, specialty vehicle, utility trailer, horse trailer, marine, transit bus and school bus industries throughout the United States and Canada. Furrion currently supplies a premium line of televisions, sound systems, navigation systems, wireless backup cameras, solar prep units, power solutions, fireplaces and kitchen appliances, primarily to the RV industry.

In connection with this agreement, the Company entered into minimum purchase obligations (“MPOs”), which Furrion and the Company agreed to review after the first year on an annual basis and adjust as necessary based upon current economic and industry conditions, the development and customer acceptance of new Furrion products, competition and other factors which impact demand for Furrion products.

Subject to agreed upon revisions to the MPOs, Furrion has the right to either terminate the distribution agreement with six months’ notice or remove exclusivity from the Company if the Company misses an MPO in any given year by more than ten percent, after taking into account excess purchases from the previous year. If exclusivity is withdrawn, the Company at its election may terminate the distribution agreement with six months’ notice. Upon termination of the agreement, Furrion has agreed to purchase from the Company any non-obsolete stocks of Furrion products at the cost paid by the Company.

Product Recalls

From time to time, the Company cooperates with and assists its customers on their product recalls and inquiries, and occasionally receives inquiries directly from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) regarding reported incidents involving the Company’s products. As a result, the Company has incurred expenses associated with product recalls from time to time, and may incur expenditures for future investigations or product recalls.

Environmental

The Company’s operations are subject to certain Federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous materials used during the manufacturing processes. Although the Company believes its operations have been consistent with prevailing industry standards, and are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, one or more of the Company’s current or former operating sites, or adjacent sites owned by third parties, have been affected by releases of hazardous materials. As a result, the Company may incur expenditures for future investigation and remediation of these sites, including in conjunction with voluntary remediation programs or third-party claims.

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, regulatory agency inquiries and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that, after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions

Liabilities for contingent consideration related to acquisitions were fair valued using management’s projections for long-term sales forecasts, including assumptions regarding market share gains and future industry-specific economic and market conditions, and a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital. Over the next six years, the Company’s long-term sales growth forecasts for products subject to contingent consideration arrangements average approximately 14 percent per year. For further information on the inputs used in determining the fair value, and a roll-forward of the contingent consideration liability, see Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Changes in either of the inputs in isolation would result in a change in the fair value measurement. A change in the assumptions used for sales forecasts would result in a directionally similar change in the fair value liability, while a change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a directionally opposite change in the fair value liability. If there is an increase in the fair value liability, the Company would record a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses, and if there is a decrease in the fair value liability, the Company would record a benefit in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Derivative Instruments

At June 30, 2017, the Company had derivative instruments for 26.4 million pounds of steel, in order to manage a portion of the exposure to movements associated with steel costs. These derivative instruments expire through December 2018, at an average steel price of $0.25 per pound. While these derivative instruments are considered to be economic hedges of the underlying movement in the price of steel, they are not designated or accounted for as a hedge. These derivative instruments were valued at fair value using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of similar instruments at the end of each reporting period, and the resulting net loss was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At June 30, 2017, the $1.9 million corresponding asset was recorded in other current assets as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A net loss of $0.4 million was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Non-recurring

Vacant Owned Facilities

During the first six months of 2017, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of one vacant owned facility. At June 30, 2017, the Company had one vacant owned facility with an estimated fair value of over $3.0 million and a carrying value of $2.5 million, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the first six months of 2016, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of one vacant owned facility. At June 30, 2016, the Company had one vacant owned facility with an estimated fair value of over $3.0 million and a carrying value of $2.5 million, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The determination of fair value was based on the best information available, including internal cash flow estimates, market prices for similar assets, broker quotes and independent appraisals, as appropriate.

Net Assets of Acquired Businesses

The Company valued the assets and liabilities associated with the acquisitions of businesses on the respective acquisition dates. Depending upon the type of asset or liability acquired, the Company used different valuation techniques in determining the fair value. Those techniques included comparable market prices, long-term sales, profitability and cash flow forecasts, assumptions regarding future industry-specific economic and market conditions, a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital, as well as other techniques as circumstances required. For further information on acquired assets and liabilities, see Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

10.    SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable segments, 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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; trucks; pontoon boats; trains; manufactured homes; and modular housing. Approximately 71 percent of the Company’s OEM Segment net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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 chief operating decision maker (“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 ended December 31, 2016.

11.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the updated requirements will materially impact the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which amends ASC 715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits. This ASU requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, and other components of the net periodic benefit cost be presented separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which amends ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. This ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amends ASC 805, Business Combinations. This ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisition (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this ASU 2017-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. This ASU provides guidance on the statement of cash flows presentation of certain transactions where diversity in practice exists. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)


The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amended ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the new standard, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes in the reporting period in which they occur. Additionally, ASU 2016-09 requires that the Company present excess tax benefits on the consolidated statement of cash flows as an operating activity. The adoption of the ASU resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in the provision for income taxes within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows now present excess tax benefits as an operating activity, adjusted prospectively. Finally, the Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures based on historical data and recognizes forfeiture compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017 and elected to apply this adoption prospectively. Prior periods have not been adjusted.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires, in most instances, a lessee to recognize on its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and also a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods, using a modified retrospective approach with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB, including industry specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts with customers to provide goods and services. The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain non-financial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its reported current net sales; however, given its acquisition strategy, there may be additional revenue streams acquired prior to the adoption date. The Company’s technical analysis is on-going with respect to variable consideration, whether certain contracts’ revenues will be recognized over time or at a point in time, and whether costs to obtain a contract will be capitalized. Further, the Company is continuing to assess what incremental disaggregated revenue disclosures will be required in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company continues to evaluate transition methods, and expects to finalize its determination once all other significant matters are concluded.

LCI INDUSTRIES
ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)


Most industries where the Company sells products or where its products are used historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits have generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. However, because of fluctuations in dealer inventories, the impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, the timing of dealer orders, and the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide shipments from time to time, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years. Additionally, sales of components to the aftermarket channels of these industries tend to be counter-seasonal.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

OEM

Recreational Vehicle Industry

An RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or seasonal use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, fifth-wheel travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers).
The annual sales cycle for the RV industry generally starts in October after the “Open House” in Elkhart, Indiana where many of the largest RV OEMs display product to RV retail dealers, and ends after the conclusion of the summer selling season in September in the following calendar year. Between October and March, industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded retail sales as dealers build inventories to support anticipated sales. Between April and September, the spring and summer selling seasons, retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded industry-wide wholesale shipments. Based on the strength of retail sales and the current outlook from several RV OEMs and their dealer networks, most industry analysts continue to report that RV dealer inventory is in line with anticipated retail demand.
According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs in the first six months of 2017, the Company’s primary RV market, increased 14 percent to 217,400 units, compared to the same period of 2016, as a result of:
An estimated 24,400 unit increase in retail demand in the first six months of 2017, or 13 percent, as compared to the same period of 2016. In addition, retail demand is typically revised upward over the subsequent quarter by approximately five to ten percent, primarily due to delayed RV registrations.
RV dealers seasonally increasing inventory levels by an estimated 7,300 units in the first six months of 2017, higher than the increase in inventory levels of 4,300 units in the same period of 2016.

While the Company measures its OEM Segment RV sales against industry-wide wholesale shipment statistics, the underlying health of the RV industry is determined by retail demand. A comparison of the number of units and the year-over-year percentage change in industry-wide wholesale shipments and retail sales of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, as reported by Statistical Surveys, Inc., as well as the resulting estimated change in dealer inventories, for both the United States and Canada, is as follows:

Retail sales data for June 2017 has not been published; therefore retail and dealer inventory data includes a Company estimate for retail units sold in June.

According to the RVIA, industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhome RVs in the first six months of 2017 increased 14 percent to 32,800 units compared to the same period of 2016. The Company estimates retail demand for motorhome RVs increased 11 percent in the first six months of 2017, following a 11 percent increase in retail demand in 2016.
The RVIA has projected a ten percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs for 2017 and a three percent increase for 2018. Several RV OEMs, however, are introducing new product lines, additional features and adding production capacity. Retail sales of RVs historically have been closely tied to general economic conditions, as well as consumer confidence which was above historical averages in 2016. Additionally, retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have increased in 90 of the last 92 months on a year-over-year basis. Industry resources report strong attendance and high consumer interest at RV shows around the United States and Canada thus far in 2017.
Although future retail demand is inherently uncertain, RV industry fundamentals in the first six months of 2017, including generally low unemployment, low fuel prices and available credit for dealers and RV consumers, were strong, as evidenced by the 13 percent increase in industry-wide retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs in the first six months of 2017. The Company believes the strong RV industry fundamentals, aided by product innovation, demographic tailwinds, industry promotion and the advent of stronger dealer networks, are positive signs for the remainder of 2017. The Company also remains confident in its ability to exceed industry growth rates through new product introductions, market share gains, aftermarket sales, acquisitions and ongoing investments in research and development, engineering, quality and customer service.
Over the long term, the Company expects RV industry sales to be aided by positive demographics and the continued popularity of the “RV Lifestyle”. The number of consumers between the ages of 55 and 70 are projected to total 56 million by 2020, 27 percent higher than in 2010, according to U.S. Census figures, and one in ten vehicle-owning households between the ages of 50 and 64 own at least one RV. The RVIA reported much of the success of the RV industry has been driven by the Baby Boomer generation. The size of that generation is beginning to wane, and younger generations (Generation X and Millennials) are becoming more relevant to future industry growth. Generation X and Millennials are more diverse, requiring new and creative marketing approaches to attract them to the RV industry. The RVIA has an advertising campaign promoting the “RV Lifestyle” targeted at both parents aged 30 - 49 with children at home, as well as couples aged 50 - 64 with no children at home. In addition, the RV OEMs have developed more entry level units, specifically targeting younger families, in both towables and motorhomes. The popularity of traveling in RVs to NASCAR and other sporting events, more family-oriented domestic vacations, and using RVs as second homes, are trends that could continue to motivate consumer demand for RVs. RVIA studies indicate RV vacations cost significantly less than other forms of vacation travel, even when factoring in fuel prices and the cost of RV ownership. More details can be found at www.RVIA.org.

Adjacent Industries

The Company’s portfolio of products used in RVs can also be used in other applications, including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; trucks; pontoon boats; trains; manufactured homes; and modular housing (collectively, “Adjacent Industries”). In many cases, OEM customers of the Adjacent Industries are affiliated with RV OEMs through related subsidiaries. The Company believes there are significant opportunities in these Adjacent Industries and, as a result, five of the last eight business acquisitions completed by the Company were focused in Adjacent Industries.

LCI INDUSTRIES
ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

The estimated potential content per unit the Company may supply to the Adjacent Industries varies by OEM product and differs from RVs. As a means to understand the potential of each of these markets, management reviews the number of retail units sold. The following are key target markets for Adjacent Industries component sales:

Enclosed trailers. According to Statistical Surveys, approximately 192,000 and 183,500 enclosed trailers were sold in 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Pontoon boats. Statistical Surveys also reported approximately 49,600 and 45,400 pontoon boats were sold in 2016 and 2015, respectively.
School buses. According to Wards Communications and R.L. Polk & Co., there were approximately 32,800 and 29,600 school buses sold in 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Manufactured housing. According to the Institute for Building Technology and Safety, there were approximately 81,100 and 70,500 manufactured home wholesale shipments in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Aftermarket Segment

Many of the Company’s OEM Segment products are also sold through various aftermarket channels, including dealerships, warehouse distributors and service centers, as well as direct to retail customers. The Company has teams dedicated to product training and marketing support for its Aftermarket customers. The Company also supports two call centers to provide quick responses to customers for both product delivery and technical support. This support is designed for a rapid response to critical repairs so customer downtime is minimized. The Aftermarket Segment also includes the sale of replacement glass and awnings to fulfill insurance claims. Many of the optional upgrades and non-critical replacements are purchased outside the normal product selling seasons, thereby causing Aftermarket sales to be counter-seasonal.

According to the RVIA, current estimated RV ownership is nearly nine million units. Additionally, as a result of a vibrant secondary market, one-third of current owners purchased their RV new while the remaining two-thirds purchased a previously owned RV. This vibrant secondary market is a key driver for the aftermarket, as the Company anticipates owners of previously owned RVs will likely upgrade their units as well as replace parts and accessories which have been subjected to normal wear and tear.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Highlights

Consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2017 increased to $547 million, 24 percent higher than consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2016 of $441 million. Acquisitions completed by the Company over the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, added $17 million in net sales in the second quarter of 2017. The 17 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, LCI’s primary OEM market, as well as increased content per RV unit, positively impacted net sales growth in the second quarter of 2017. Further, the Company organically increased sales to adjacent industries and the aftermarket.
Net income for the second quarter of 2017 increased to $40.1 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, up from net income of $37.6 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, compared to the second quarter of 2016.
Consolidated operating profits during the second quarter of 2017 increased six percent, to $63.0 million from $59.4 million in the second quarter of 2016. Operating profit margin decreased to 12 percent in the second quarter of 2017 from 13 percent compared to the second quarter of 2016.
Labor and material costs increased during the second quarter of 2017, however, the Company continues to take actions to improve its cost structure. The Company seeks to continuously manage its labor cost, particularly indirect labor, while supporting the growth of the business. Lean manufacturing teams continue working to reduce cost and implement processes to better utilize available floorspace. The Company also has reduced direct labor attrition which improves efficiency and reduces other costs associated with workforce turnover.
The cost of aluminum and steel used in certain of the Company’s manufactured components declined during the first half of 2016; however, certain commodities experienced cost increases in the second half of 2016 and the first half of 2017 from market low points. Raw material costs continue to fluctuate and are expected to remain volatile.

Thus far in 2017, the Company completed three acquisitions:
On June 30, 2017, the Company acquired 100 percent of the equity interests of Metallarte S.r.l. (“Metallarte”), a manufacturer of entry and compartment doors for the European caravan market located near Siena, Italy, and its subsidiary, RV Doors, S.r.l., a manufacturer of driver-side doors located near Venice, Italy. The purchase price was $14.1 million paid at closing, plus contingent consideration based on future sales by this operation.
In May 2017, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Lexington LLC (“Lexington”), a manufacturer of high quality seating solutions for the marine, RV, transportation, medical and office furniture industries located in Elkhart, Indiana. The purchase price was $40.0 million paid at closing.
In February 2017, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Sessa Klein S.p.A. (“Sessa Klein”), a manufacturer of highly engineered side window systems for both high speed and commuter trains, located near Varese, Italy. The purchase price was $8.5 million paid at closing, plus contingent consideration based on future sales by this operation.
Integration activities for these and previously acquired businesses are underway and proceeding in line with established plans. The Company plans to grow sales and leverage its purchasing power, manufacturing capabilities, engineering expertise and design resources to improve the cost structure of the acquired operations.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017, was substantially lower than the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits attributable to the adoption by the Company of Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, which simplified several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences. The excess tax benefit equated to $5.2 million recognized in the first six months of 2017.
Return on equity for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, which is calculated by taking net income over equity, improved to 25.0 percent, from the 24.1 percent return on equity in June 30, 2016.
In March and June 2017, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share, aggregating to $12.4 million and $12.4 million, respectively.

OEM Segment - Second Quarter

Net sales of the OEM Segment in the second quarter of 2017 increased 24 percent, or $96 million, compared to the same period of 2016. Net sales of components to OEMs were to the following markets for the three months ended June 30:

The Company’s average product content per type of RV excludes international sales and sales to the Aftermarket and Adjacent Industries. Content per RV is impacted by market share gains, acquisitions, new product introductions, and changes in selling prices for the Company’s products, as well as changes in the types of RVs produced industry-wide.

The Company’s net OEM sales to Adjacent Industries increased during the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2017 and 2016 and market share gains. The Company continues to believe there are significant opportunities in Adjacent Industries.

Operating profit of the OEM Segment was $56.4 million in the second quarter of 2017, an improvement of $2.0 million compared to the same period of 2016. The operating profit margin of the OEM Segment in the second quarter of 2017 was positively impacted by:
Better fixed cost absorption by spreading fixed costs over a $96 million larger sales base.
Increased sales to Adjacent Industries OEMs.
Sales mix changes and pricing changes of products, including increased sales of fifth-wheel products which have a higher margin.
Investments over the past several years to increase capacity and improve operating efficiencies. Further, the Company has implemented efficiency improvements, including lean manufacturing initiatives, increased use of automation and employee retention initiatives. The Company has also reduced direct labor attrition which improves efficiency and reduces other costs associated with workforce turnover.
Offset by:
Higher material costs for certain raw materials. Steel and aluminum costs increased in the second quarter of 2017. Material costs are subject to global supply and demand forces and are expected to remain volatile.
Higher labor costs. While the Company seeks to continuously manage its labor cost, it has added staff to support the growth of the business. The results also reflect variable compensation increases based on achieving profitability targets. Additionally, competition for skilled workers has continued to tighten the labor market which has increased the cost of labor.
Fixed costs which were approximately $2 million to $3 million higher than in the second quarter of 2016. Over the past couple of years, the Company made significant investments in manufacturing capacity, both facilities and personnel, to prepare for the expected increase in net sales in 2017 and beyond. In addition to investments in fixed costs to expand manufacturing capacity, the Company has made improvements in marketing, human resources, engineering, customer service and other critical departments. The Company also added the teams from acquired businesses, as well as amortization costs of intangible assets related to those businesses.

The Company’s net sales growth in components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the first six months of 2017 exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the same period primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2017 and 2016.

The Company’s net sales growth in components for motorhomes during the first six months of 2017 exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhomes during the same period, primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2017 and 2016 and market share gains. Over the past few years, the Company has been expanding its product line of components for motorhomes in order to increase its customer base and market penetration, and further growth is expected.

The Company’s net sales to Adjacent Industries increased during the first six months of 2017, primarily due to acquisitions completed in the second half of 2016 and the first six months of 2017, and market share gains. Acquisitions added $19 million in net sales during the first six months of 2017. The Company continues to believe there are significant opportunities in Adjacent Industries.

Operating profit of the OEM Segment was $110.8 million in the first six months of 2017, an improvement of $5.8 million compared to the first six months of 2016. The operating profit margin of the OEM Segment in the first six months of 2017 was impacted by:
Better fixed cost absorption by spreading fixed costs over a $165 million larger sales base.
Increased sales to Adjacent Industries OEMs.
Sales mix changes and pricing changes of products, including increased sales of fifth-wheel products which have a higher margin.
Investments over the past several years to increase capacity and improve operating efficiencies. Further, the Company has implemented efficiency improvements, including lean manufacturing initiatives, increased use of automation and employee retention initiatives. The Company has also reduced direct labor attrition which improves efficiency and reduces other costs associated with workforce turnover.
Lower group health claims. The Company actively works to manage and reduce these costs, however, these costs remain subject to fluctuation.
Partially offset by:
Fixed costs which were approximately $4 million to $5 million higher than in the first six months of 2016. Over the past couple of years, the Company made significant investments in manufacturing capacity, both facilities and personnel, to prepare for the expected increase in net sales in 2017 and beyond. In addition to investments in fixed costs to expand manufacturing capacity, the Company has made improvements in marketing, human resources, engineering, customer service and other critical departments. The Company also added the teams from acquired businesses, as well as amortization costs of intangible assets related to those businesses.

Aftermarket Segment - Second Quarter

Net sales of the Aftermarket Segment in the second quarter of 2017 increased 32 percent, or $11 million, compared to the same period of 2016. Net sales of components were as follows for the three months ended June 30:

The Company’s net sales to the Aftermarket increased during the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to the Company’s focus on building out well qualified, customer-focused teams and infrastructure to service this market. With an estimated nine million households in North America owning an RV and the Company’s increasing content per unit, the Company continues to believe there are significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket as the components sold to OEMs are subject to normal wear and tear over time.

Operating profit of the Aftermarket Segment was $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.6 million compared to the same period of 2016, primarily due to the increase in net sales to wholesale distributors with lower margins traditionally experienced in aftermarket channels. As indicated, this business is still in an early growth stage and the Company has added staff to support anticipated growth and anticipates further cost increases in this area as it builds up the capabilities of this business.

Aftermarket Segment – Year to Date

Net sales of the Aftermarket Segment in the first six months of 2017 increased 26 percent, or $17 million, compared to the same period of 2016. Net sales of components were as follows for the six months ended June 30:

Operating profit of the Aftermarket Segment was $11.3 million in the first six months of 2017, an increase of $1.3 million compared to the same period of 2016, primarily due to the increase in net sales to wholesale distributors with lower margins traditionally experienced in aftermarket channels. As indicated, this business is still in an early growth stage and the Company has added staff to support anticipated growth and anticipates further cost increases in this area as it builds up the capabilities of this business.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were 31.4% and 35.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 differed from the Federal statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes attributable to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the tax benefit relating to U.S. manufacturer’s deduction and Federal and Indiana research and development (“R&D”) credits offset by state taxes, foreign taxes and non-deductible expenses. The decrease in effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the

29

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

(Continued)

same period in 2016 was due primarily to the recognition of excess tax benefits attributable to the adoption of ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017.
Generally, calendar years 2014 - 2016 remain open for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company is currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended December 31, 2014.
The net amount of tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next twelve months due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations, settlements of tax assessments and other events which could impact our determination of unrecognized tax benefits. Although the ultimate timing for resolution of the disputed tax issues is uncertain, we may resolve certain tax matters within the next twelve months and pay amounts for other unresolved tax matters in order to limit the potential impact of interest charges. The resolution of these audits are not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows from Operations

Net cash flows from operating activities in first six months of 2017 were $35.6 million lower than the same period of 2016, primarily due to:
A $32.5 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the first six months of 2017 compared to a $45.4 million increase in the same period of 2016, primarily due to timing of these payments.
A $61.5 million seasonal increase in accounts receivable in the first six months of 2017 compared to a $58.8 million increase in the same period of 2016, primarily due to increased net sales partially offset by the timing of payments by the Company’s customers. Overall, accounts receivable balances remain current with an increase in days sales outstanding to 22 at June 30, 2017, compared to 20 at June 30, 2016.
A $6.8 million increase in inventory in the first six months of 2017 compared to a $25.6 million decrease in the same period of 2016. Inventory turnover for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 increased to 7.8 turns compared to 7.0 turns for the same period of 2016. The Company is working to improve inventory turnover, however, inventory turns may trend lower due to growth in product categories such as imported furniture and Furrion electronics.
Partially offset by:
A $9.8 million increase in net income in first six months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016.
Over the long term, based on the Company’s historical collection and payment patterns, as well as inventory turnover, and also giving consideration to emerging trends and changes to the sales mix, the Company expects working capital to increase or decrease equivalent to approximately 10 to 15 percent of the increase or decrease, respectively, in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, especially in the short term.

Depreciation and amortization was $25.5 million in the first six months of 2017, and is expected to be approximately $55 million to $60 million for fiscal year 2017. Non-cash stock-based compensation in the first six months of 2017 was $9.3 million. Non-cash stock-based compensation is expected to be approximately $19 million to $21 million in 2017.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows used for investing activities of $110.9 million in the first six months of 2017 were primarily comprised of $43.3 million for capital expenditures and $67.9 million for the acquisition of businesses. Cash flows used for investing activities

LCI INDUSTRIES
ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

(Continued)

of $47.4 million in the first six months of 2016 were primarily comprised of $13.3 million for capital expenditures and $34.2 million for the acquisition of businesses. Information detailing out the acquisitions in the first six months of 2017 and 2016 are included in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company’s capital expenditures are primarily for replacement and growth. Over the long term, based on the Company’s historical capital expenditures, the replacement portion has averaged approximately 2 percent of net sales, while the growth portion has averaged approximately 8 to 11 percent of the annual increase in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact the actual spending compared to these historical averages.
The first six months of 2017 capital expenditures and acquisitions were funded by cash from operations. Capital expenditures in 2017 are expected to be funded primarily from cash generated from operations, as well as periodic borrowings under the Company’s line of credit.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used for financing activities in the first six months of 2017 were primarily comprised of a payment of dividends of $0.50 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing an aggregate of $12.4 million and $12.4 million, respectively, paid to stockholders of record as of March 6, 2017 and May 19, 2017, respectively. In addition, the Company had $7.5 million of shares tendered for payment of taxes. Further, the Company paid $2.6 million in contingent consideration related to acquisitions.

Cash flows used for financing activities in the first six months of 2016 were primarily comprised of payments of dividends of $0.30 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing an aggregate of $7.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively, paid to stockholders of record as of April 1, 2016 and June 6, 2016, respectively. In addition, the Company received $2.7 million in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation, which was more than offset by $3.8 million of shares tendered for payment of taxes. Further, the Company paid $2.7 million in contingent consideration related to acquisitions.
In connection with certain business acquisitions, if established sales targets for the acquired business are achieved, the Company will pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a $16.2 million liability for the aggregate fair value of these expected contingent consideration liabilities at June 30, 2017, including $6.3 million recorded as a current liability. For further information, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On April 27, 2016, the Company announced the refinancing of its line of credit through an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., and 1st Source Bank. The agreement amended and restated the existing line of credit, which now expires on April 27, 2021 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). In connection with this amendment and restatement, the line of credit was increased from $100.0 million to $200.0 million, and contains a feature allowing the Company to draw up to $50.0 million in approved foreign currencies, including Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and euros. The maximum borrowings under the line of credit can be further increased by $125.0 million, subject to certain conditions. At June 30, 2017, the Company had $2.4 million in issued, but undrawn, standby letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company’s line of credit was $197.6 million at June 30, 2017.
On March 30, 2017, the Company amended its “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”) to extend the term through March 30, 2020. In connection with this amendment, the facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million (excluding the Company’s Series A Notes already outstanding). Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. Availability under the Company’s “shelf-loan” facility was $150.0 million at June 30, 2017. However, the Amended Credit Agreement limits the aggregate indebtedness outstanding to Prudential from time to time to $150.0 million; therefore, currently the Company can only access an additional $100 million under the shelf-loan facility.
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility, the Company is required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.
Availability under both the Amended Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility is subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at June 30, 2017. The remaining availability under these facilities, not including the potential increase of $125 million under the Amended Credit Agreement, was $297.6 million at

31

(Continued)

June 30, 2017. The Company believes the availability under the Amended Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility is adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.
Additional information on the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility is included in Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company is in compliance with the corporate governance requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s governance documents and committee charters and key practices have been posted to the Company’s website (www.lci1.com/investors) and are updated periodically. The website also contains, or provides direct links to, all SEC filings, press releases and investor presentations. The Company has also established a Whistleblower Policy, which includes a toll-free hotline (877-373-9123) to report complaints about the Company’s accounting, internal controls, auditing matters or other concerns. The Whistleblower Policy and procedure for complaints can be found on the Company’s website (www.lci1.com/investors).

CONTINGENCIES

Information required by this item is included in Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and under Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

INFLATION

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of steel and aluminum, and components used by the Company which are made from these raw materials, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of these commodities have historically been volatile, and over the past few months prices have continued to fluctuate.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Information required by this item is included in Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, sales and purchase rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, net assets of acquired businesses, income taxes, warranty and product recall obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management's estimates.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” with respect to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities, acquisitions, plans and objectives of management, markets for the Company’s Common Stock and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to the Company’s future business prospects, net sales, expenses and income (loss), cash flow, and financial condition, whenever they occur in this Form 10-Q are necessarily

32

LCI INDUSTRIES
ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

(Continued)

estimates reflecting the best judgment of the Company’s senior management at the time such statements were made. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, in addition to other matters described in this Form 10-Q, pricing pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of raw materials (particularly steel and aluminum) and other components, seasonality and cyclicality in the industries to which the Company sells its products, availability of credit for financing the retail and wholesale purchase of products for which the Company sells its components, inventory levels of retail dealers and manufacturers, availability of transportation for products for which the Company sells its components, the financial condition of the Company’s customers, the financial condition of retail dealers of products for which the Company sells its components, retention and concentration of significant customers, the costs, pace of and successful integration of acquisitions and other growth initiatives, availability and costs of production facilities and labor, employee benefits, employee retention, realization and impact of expansion plans, efficiency improvements and cost reductions, the disruption of business resulting from natural disasters or other unforeseen events, the successful entry into new markets, the costs of compliance with environmental laws, laws of foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, and increased governmental regulation and oversight, information technology performance and security, the ability to protect intellectual property, warranty and product liability claims or product recalls, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, the impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on the retail sale of products for which the Company sells its components, and other risks and uncertainties discussed more fully under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made, except as required by law.

LCI INDUSTRIES
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
At June 30, 2017, the Company had $49.9 million of fixed rate debt outstanding. Assuming there is a decrease of 100 basis points in the interest rate for borrowings of a similar nature subsequent to June 30, 2017, which the Company becomes unable to capitalize on in the short-term as a result of the structure of its fixed rate financing, future cash flows would be approximately $0.5 million lower per annum than if the fixed rate financing could be obtained at current market rates.
The Company is also exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials, specifically steel and aluminum. The Company has, from time to time, entered into derivative instruments for the purpose of managing a portion of the exposures associated with fluctuations in steel and aluminum prices. While these derivative instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, these fluctuations are generally offset by the changes in fair value of the underlying exposures. See Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of derivative instruments.
The Company has historically been able to obtain sales price increases to partially offset the majority of raw material cost increases. However, there can be no assurance future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases will match raw material cost increases.
Additional information required by this item is included under the caption “Inflation” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Report.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, in accordance with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management included in its evaluation the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company continually evaluates its disclosure controls and procedures to determine if changes are appropriate based upon changes in the Company’s operations or the business environment in which it operates.
As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and the Company’s principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company has selected a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. Implementation of the new ERP software began in late 2013. To date, 23 locations have been put on this ERP system. The roll-out plan is continually evaluated in the context of priorities for the business and may change as needs of the business dictate. The Company anticipates enhancements to controls due to both the installation of the new ERP system and business process changes resulting therefrom.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, regulatory agency inquiries and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2017, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.
