PATRICK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
 
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
In the opinion of Patrick Industries, Inc. (“Patrick”, the “Company”, "we", "our"), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018.
 
Patrick’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. For a description of significant accounting policies used by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated statement of financial position data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.
 
In preparation of Patrick’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, management evaluated all material subsequent events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date of issuance of the Form 10-Q that required recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
2.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which requires that an entity recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on its statement of financial position for leases that were previously classified as operating leases under U.S. GAAP. The standard also requires companies to disclose in the footnotes to the financial statements information about the amount and timing of lease payments. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis and early adoption was permitted.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements", which offered practical expedient alternatives to the modified retrospective adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. Specifically, the practical expedients allow companies to recognize right of use lease assets and lease liabilities at the date of adoption only, rather than retrospectively for all periods presented, as well as practical expedients related to the presentation of lease components.

The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019, and recorded approximately $80 million in lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, with no material impact on the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders' equity, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 12 for further information.

Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". This ASU simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the

8



goodwill impairment test. The standard requires that the impairment loss be measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. It eliminates the second step that requires the impairment to be measured between the implied value of a reporting unit's goodwill and its carrying value. The standard is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard and has not yet determined the impact that its implementation will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which amends certain provisions of ASC 326, “Financial Instruments-Credit Loss”. The ASU changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held to maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Additionally, entities will have to disclose more information with respect to credit quality indicators, including information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years and will be applied as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period for which the guidance is effective. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the ASU will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
3.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (commonly referred to as “Topic 606”), which requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive. The Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method and applied it to those contracts which were not completed as of the adoption date. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or revenues as of the adoption date.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when or as control of the promised goods or services transfers to the Company's customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The transaction price for contracts may include forms of variable consideration, including reductions to the transaction price for volume discounts and rebates. To the extent a contract is deemed to have multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation using the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract.

In the following table, revenue from contracts with customers, net of intersegment sales, is disaggregated by market type and by reportable operating segments:

Description of Products and Services
The Company is a major manufacturer of component products and a distributor of building products and materials serving original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). The following is a description of the principal activities, by reportable segments, from which the Company generates its revenue. See Note 15 for more detailed information about the Company's reportable operating segments.
Manufacturing
The Company’s Manufacturing segment revenue is primarily derived from the sale of laminated products that are utilized to produce furniture, shelving, walls, countertops, and cabinet products, cabinet doors, fiberglass bath fixtures and tile systems, hardwood furniture, vinyl printing, decorative vinyl and paper laminated panels, solid surface, granite, and quartz countertop fabrication, RV painting, fabricated aluminum products, fiberglass and plastic components, softwoods lumber, custom cabinetry, polymer-based flooring, electrical systems components (including instrument and dash panels), wrapped vinyl, paper and hardwood profile mouldings, interior passage doors, air handling products, slide-out trim and fascia, thermoformed shower surrounds, specialty bath and closet building products, fiberglass and plastic helm systems and components products, wiring and wire harnesses, boat covers, towers, tops and frames, aluminum fuel tanks, CNC molds and composite parts, slotwall panels and components and other products.
Manufacturing segment revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer which is the point when the customer gains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset, which is generally upon delivery of goods. In limited circumstances, where the products are customer specific with no alternative use to the Company and the Company has a legally enforceable right to payment for performance to date with a reasonable margin, revenue is recognized over the contract term based on the cost-to-cost method. The Company uses this measure of progress because it best depicts the transfer of value to the customer and correlates with the amount of consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. However, revenue recognized based on the cost-to-cost method does not constitute a material amount of total Manufacturing segment revenue and consolidated net sales.
Distribution
The Company’s Distribution segment revenue is primarily derived from the resale of pre-finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall finishing products, electronics and audio systems components, appliances, wiring, electrical and plumbing products, fiber reinforced polyester products, cement siding, raw and processed lumber, interior passage doors, roofing products, laminate and ceramic flooring, tile, shower doors, furniture, fireplaces and surrounds, interior and exterior lighting products, and other miscellaneous products, in addition to providing transportation and logistics services.

The Company acts as a principal in such arrangements because it controls the promised goods before delivery to the customer. Distribution segment revenue from product sales is recognized on a gross basis upon delivery of goods at which point control transfers to the customer. The Distribution segment also generates revenue by providing marketing services for other manufacturers in exchange for agreed upon commissions. The commission revenue is recognized in the amount of expected commissions to be collected from the manufacturer upon delivery of goods to the customer. The overall commission business is not material to the Company’s consolidated net sales.

10



Significant Judgments and Practical Expedients Applied
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Sales and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are not recognized as separate performance obligations to which a portion of revenue would otherwise be allocated.
The Company records freight billed to customers in net sales. The corresponding costs incurred for shipping and handling related to these customer billed freight costs are recorded as costs to fulfill the contract and are included in warehouse and delivery expenses.
The Company’s contracts across each of its businesses typically do not result in situations where there is a time period greater than one year between performance under the contract and collection of the related consideration. The Company elected the practical expedient under Topic 606 related to significant financing components, where the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the entity’s transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good or service will be one year or less.
The Company also applies the practical expedient in Topic 606 related to costs to obtain a contract and recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the incurred costs that the Company otherwise would have capitalized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Contract Balances
The Company typically invoices the customer after shipment of the promised goods, at which time it has an unconditional right to payment. In limited circumstances, the Company may receive upfront payments from customers prior to satisfaction of a performance obligation in both the manufacturing and distribution businesses, in which case a contract liability is recorded.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company acquired goodwill and intangible assets in various acquisitions in 2018 that were determined to be business combinations. No new intangible assets were acquired through business combination in the first quarter of 2019, but purchase accounting adjustments to previously reported estimated amounts were made in such quarter. See Note 6 for further details. Goodwill and intangible assets are allocated to the Company’s reporting units on the date they are initially recorded. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an impairment test based on their estimated fair value performed annually (or under certain circumstances more frequently as warranted). Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, one level below the business segment.
 
Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist. The Company assesses finite-lived intangible assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value.
 
No impairment was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, related to goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or finite-lived intangible assets.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trademarks and patents. Customer relationships and non-compete agreements represent finite-lived intangible assets that have been recorded in the Manufacturing and Distribution segments along with related amortization expense. As of March 31, 2019, the remaining intangible assets balance of $370.2 million is comprised of $85.2 million of trademarks which have an indefinite life, and therefore, no amortization expense has been recorded for trademarks, and $285.0 million pertaining to customer relationships, non-compete agreements and patents which are being amortized over periods ranging from three to 19 years.    

Amortization expense for the Company’s intangible assets in the aggregate was $9.0 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively.

ACQUISITIONS
 
General 
The Company did not complete any acquisitions the first quarter of 2019 and completed nine acquisitions in 2018, including four acquisitions in the first quarter of 2018. Each of the 2018 acquisitions was funded through borrowings under the Company’s credit facility in effect at the time of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the individual acquisitions were recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial position at their estimated fair values as of the respective dates of acquisition. For each acquisition, the Company completes its allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities within the one year measurement period.  For those acquisitions where the purchase price allocation has been noted as being provisional, the Company generally is still in the process of finalizing the fair values of acquired goodwill, intangible assets, fixed assets, and, if applicable, related deferred tax assets and liabilities. Historically, the impact of finalizing provisional purchase price allocations has not been significant.  In general, the acquisitions described below provided the opportunity for the Company to either establish a new presence in a particular market and/or expand its product offerings in an existing market and increase its market share and per unit content.

For each acquisition, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which represents the combined value of the Company’s existing purchasing, manufacturing, sales, and systems resources with the organizational talent and expertise of the acquired companies’ respective management teams to maximize efficiencies, revenue impact, market share growth and net income. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes for each of the 2018 acquisitions with the exception of the acquisition of Marine Accessories Corporation which is expected to be partially deductible for income tax purposes, and the acquisition of LaSalle Bristol which is not deductible for income tax purposes. Intangible asset values were estimated using income based valuation methodologies. See Note 5 for information regarding the amortization periods assigned to finite-lived intangible assets.

13




For the first quarter ended April 1, 2018, revenue and operating income of approximately $12.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, was included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income relating to the four businesses acquired in the first three months of 2018. Acquisition-related costs in the aggregate associated with the businesses acquired in the first three months of 2018 were immaterial.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with certain 2018 and 2017 acquisitions, if certain financial targets for the acquired businesses are achieved, the Company will be required to pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a liability for the fair value of the contingent consideration related to each of these acquisitions as part of the initial purchase price based on the present value of the expected future cash flows and the probability of future payments. As required, the liabilities for the contingent consideration associated with each of these acquisitions will be measured quarterly at fair value and the Company could record adjustments in future periods.

The aggregate fair value of the estimated contingent consideration payments was $9.4 million, $4.9 million of which is included in the line item "Accrued liabilities" and $4.5 million is included in “Other long-term liabilities” on the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2019. The liabilities for contingent consideration expire at various dates through December 2023. The contingent consideration arrangements are subject to a maximum payment amount of up to $13.7 million in the aggregate. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company made cash payments of approximately $4.4 million related to contingent consideration liabilities, recording a corresponding reduction to accrued liabilities.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with fair value recognition provisions. The Company recorded compensation expense of $3.9 million and $3.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively, for its stock-based compensation plans on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of (i) all stock grants as of the grant date using the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on such date, and (ii) all stock option and stock appreciation rights awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
 
For full year 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved various share grants under the Company’s 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) totaling 181,808 shares in the aggregate, of which grants of 164,988 shares were approved in the first quarter of 2018.

The Board approved various share grants under the Plan in the first quarter of 2019 totaling 356,017 shares in the aggregate.
 
As of March 31, 2019, there was approximately $31.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation arrangements granted under incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 23.5 months.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units (collectively “Common Stock Equivalents”). The dilutive effect of Common Stock Equivalents is calculated under the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period. Certain Common Stock Equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share because the exercise prices of those Common Stock Equivalents were greater than the average market price of the common shares.
 
Income per common share is calculated for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

2018 Credit Facility
The Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2018, (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo, as Administrative Agent. The 2018 Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company’s 2015 Credit Agreement.

The 2018 Credit Agreement established a credit facility comprised of an $800 million revolving credit loan (the “2018 Revolver”) and a $100 million term loan (the “2018 Term Loan” and, together with the 2018 Revolver, the “2018 Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement mature on March 17, 2022.

The 2018 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and any domestic subsidiary guarantors. The 2018 Credit Agreement includes certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements and includes the following additional provisions:

18




The 2018 Term Loan will be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments on the last business day of each of March, June, September and December in the following amounts: (i) beginning June 30, 2018, through and including March 31, 2019, $1,250,000, (ii) beginning June 30, 2019, through and including March 31, 2021, $2,500,000, and (iii) beginning June 30, 2021, and each quarter thereafter, $3,750,000, with the remaining balance due at maturity;
The interest rates for borrowings under the 2018 Revolver and the 2018 Term Loan are the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, with a fee payable by the Company on unused but committed portions of the Revolver;
The 2018 Revolver includes a $10.0 million limit for same day advances (“Swing Line”) which shall bear interest based upon the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;
Up to $10.0 million of the 2018 Revolver is available as a sub facility for the issuance of standby letters of credit, which are subject to certain expiration dates;
The financial covenants include requirements as to a consolidated total leverage ratio and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and other covenants include limitations and restrictions concerning permitted acquisitions, investments, sales of assets, liens on assets, dividends and other payments; and
Customary prepayment provisions, representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default.

At March 31, 2019, the Company had $95.0 million outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan under the LIBOR-based option, and borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolver of $385.0 million under the LIBOR-based option. The interest rate for incremental borrowings at March 31, 2019 was the Prime Rate plus 1.00% (or 6.50%) for the Base Rate-based option, or LIBOR plus 2.00% (or 4.50%) for the LIBOR-based option. At December 31, 2018, the Company had $96.3 million outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan under the LIBOR-based option, and borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolver of: (i) $388.0 million under the LIBOR-based option and (ii) $4.3 million under the Base Rate-based option. The interest rate for incremental borrowings at December 31, 2018 was the Prime Rate plus 1.00% (or 6.50%) for the Base Rate-based option, or LIBOR plus 2.00% (or 4.56%) for the LIBOR-based option. The fee payable on committed but unused portions of the 2018 Revolver was 0.25% at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
 
Pursuant to the 2018 Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include: (a) a required maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, not to exceed 3.00:1.00 for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end; and (b) a required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, of at least 1.50:1.00 for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end.

The consolidated total leverage ratio is the ratio for any period of consolidated total indebtedness (as measured as of the second day following the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter) to consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Consolidated total indebtedness for any period is the sum of: (i) total debt outstanding under the 2018 Revolver, the 2018 Term Loan and the Convertible Notes (as defined herein); (ii) capital leases and letters of credit outstanding; and (iii) deferred payment obligations. The consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of consolidated EBITDA less restricted payments, taxes paid and capital expenditures as defined under the 2018 Credit Agreement to consolidated fixed charges. Consolidated fixed charges for any period is the sum of cash interest expense related to the 2018 Term Loan, 2018 Revolver and the Convertibles Notes, and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness under the 2018 Term Loan.

As of and for the March 31, 2019 reporting date, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial debt covenants as required under the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement. The required maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and the required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio compared to the actual amounts as of March 31, 2019 and for the fiscal period then ended are as follows:  
 

Required

Interest Rate Swaps

In the third quarter of 2018, the Company entered into $200.0 million notional amount of variable to fixed interest rate swaps to partially hedge risks associated with the variable LIBOR component of the 2018 Credit Facility. These interest rate swaps fix the LIBOR component of interest expense on $200.0 million of the debt outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility at an average interest rate of 2.91%, with an all-in average rate of 4.91% with the current applicable margin, discussed above. See Note 10 for further details.
Convertible Senior Notes
In January 2018, the Company issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”). The total debt discount of $36.0 million at issuance consisted of two components: (i) the conversion option component, recorded to shareholders' equity, in the amount of $31.9 million, representing the difference between the principal amount of the Convertible Notes upon issuance less the present value of the future cash flows of the Convertible Notes and (ii) debt issuance costs of $4.1 million. The unamortized portion of the total debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes beginning in the first quarter of 2018. The effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes, which includes the non-cash interest expense of debt discount amortization and debt issuance costs, was 5.25% as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The unamortized portion of the debt discount and debt issuance costs as of March 31, 2019 was $28.5 million.
The net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes were approximately $167.5 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, but before deducting the net cost of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and the Warrant Transactions (each as defined herein) described in Note 10. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year at an annual rate of 1.00% beginning August 1, 2018. The Convertible Notes will mature on February 1, 2023 unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The Convertible Notes are convertible by the noteholders, in certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, into cash, shares of common stock of the Company, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 11.3785 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (or 1,962,790 shares in the aggregate) and is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $87.89 per share. If an event of default on the Convertible Notes occurs, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) may be declared immediately due and payable, subject to certain conditions.
Convertible Notes holders can convert their Convertibles Notes on or after August 1, 2022 at any time at their option. Holders may convert Convertible Notes prior to August 1, 2022, only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2018, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day, (ii) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day and (iii) upon the occurrence of certain specified distributions or corporate events.
10.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions
In January 2018, in connection with the Convertible Notes offering, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (together, the “Convertible Note Hedge Transactions”) with each of Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (together, the “Hedge Counterparties”). Pursuant to the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, the Company acquired options to purchase the same number of shares of the Company's common stock (or 1,962,790 shares) initially underlying the Convertibles Notes at an initial strike price equal to the initial strike price of the Convertible Notes of approximately $87.89 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The options expire on February 1, 2023, subject to earlier exercise.

20



At the same time, the Company also entered into separate, privately negotiated warrant transactions (the “Warrant Transactions”) with each of the Hedge Counterparties, pursuant to which the Company sold warrants to purchase the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock (or 1,962,790 shares) underlying the Convertible Notes, at an initial strike price of approximately $113.93 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrants have a final expiration date of September 20, 2023.
The Company paid $31.5 million associated with the cost of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and received proceeds of $18.1 million related to the Warrant Transactions. The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes. However, the Warrant Transactions, could separately have a dilutive effect on the Company's common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants.
As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Convertible Note Hedges Transactions and Warrant Transactions are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives.
Interest Rate Swaps
The 2018 Credit Facility exposes the Company to risk associated with the variability in interest expense associated with fluctuations in LIBOR. To partially mitigate this risk, the Company entered into interest rate swaps on a portion of its 2018 Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a combined notional principal amount of $200.0 million of variable to fixed interest rate swap agreements, all of which were designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements effectively convert the interest expense associated with a portion of the 2018 Term Loan and a portion of the 2018 Revolver from variable interest rates to fixed interest rates and have maturities ranging from February 2022 to March 2022.

LEASES

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 842 in January of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach as of the effective date of ASC 842 (the effective date method). Under the effective date method, financial results in periods reported prior to 2019 are unchanged.

As a result of the adoption of ASC 842, operating leases for certain warehouses, buildings, forklifts, trucks, trailers and other equipment are now recognized as right-of-use assets and corresponding short-term and long-term lease liabilities. The Company utilized a package of available practical expedients in the adoption of ASC 842, which, among them, does not require the reassessment of operating versus capital lease classification.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and expense related to these short term leases is included in total operating lease cost and not separately disclosed due to immateriality. Lease and non-lease components in the fixed base rent of facility and equipment leases are included as a single component and accounted for as a lease. Pursuant to ASC 842, the Company elected to use the remaining non-cancellable lease term as of January 1, 2019 in determining the lease term at the date of adoption and the corresponding incremental borrowing rate for such leases. Variable lease expense, principally related to trucks, forklifts, and index-related facility rent escalators, was immaterial for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and is expected to be immaterial for 2019. Leases have remaining lease terms of one year to ten years. Certain leases include options to renew for an additional term. Where there is reasonable certainty to utilize a renewal option, we would include the renewal option in the lease term used to calculate operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximated fair value as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 because of the relatively short maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of the 2018 Term Loan and the 2018 Revolver approximated fair value as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, based upon terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its outstanding debt. The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes, calculated using Level 2 inputs, was approximately $154.8 million as of March 31, 2019. As discussed in Note 10, the Convertible Note Hedges Transactions and Warrant Transactions are recorded in shareholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are presented at carrying value, which does not approximate fair value at March 31, 2019. The estimated fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps are valued using Level 2 inputs and discussed in further detail in Note 10. The estimated fair value of the Company's contingent consideration is valued using Level 3 inputs and is discussed further in Note 6.
14.
INCOME TAXES
 
The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 was 22.3% and 19.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the periods presented includes the impact of the recognition of excess tax benefits on share-based compensation that was recorded as a reduction to income tax expense upon realization in the amount of $0.8 million and $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
 
The Company paid income taxes of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 and an immaterial amount in the first quarter of 2018. Due to the timing of tax payments, the Company paid an additional $10.2 million in April 2019 (the beginning of the 2019 second fiscal quarter) and $3.7 million in April 2018 (the beginning of the 2018 second fiscal quarter).

INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

OVERVIEW OF MARKETS AND RELATED INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE

Summary  
The first quarter of 2019 reflected a continuation of planned end market diversification and the execution of our organic and strategic growth initiatives as the gap continued to widen in the first quarter of 2019 between wholesale production and retail shipments in the recreational vehicle ("RV") market. As RV dealers continued to manage inventory to return to more normalized levels, RV original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") continued to adjust production levels, and we expect OEM production to align with retail demand once normalized inventory levels are established among the dealers. We believe that overall dealer sentiment at recent RV shows thus far in 2019 has been positive and retail traffic and sales are off to a solid start to the year.
 
The Company has been able to continue to increase its content per unit in all markets despite the additional headwinds related to inclement weather in many parts of the country, uncertainty regarding the near-term direction of interest rates, uncertainty around tariffs, and commodity cost volatility. Industry fundamentals and demographics within each of our end markets remain strong. In addition, we carried a higher operating cost structure compared to revenues through the first quarter of 2019 in anticipation of expected improving retail demand in all four of our primary markets as we enter the traditionally stronger spring and summer selling seasons.

Our diversified market penetration in the marine and our residential and commercial industrial markets, which we have been strategically targeting, has helped to offset wholesale shipment declines in the first quarter of 2019 in our two largest market sectors, RV and manufactured housing ("MH"). At the same time, we achieved organic revenue growth in the first quarter of 2019 and realized savings related to synergistic opportunities resulting from acquisitions we have made in the last two years.

RV Industry 
The RV industry is our primary market and comprised 56% of the Company’s sales in the first quarter of 2019. Sales from the RV industry decreased 9% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year quarter.

According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), wholesale shipments totaled 99,976 units in the first quarter of 2019, a decline of 27% compared to 137,086 units in the first quarter of 2018. Both towable units and motorized units, which accounted for 87% and 13%, respectively, of first quarter 2019 wholesale units, were down 27% compared to the prior year quarter.

We continue to believe that the future retail demand trajectory remains positive based on new and younger buyers and the emergence of incremental repeat buyers in the channel, increased participation by millennials, the continued shift to smaller travel trailers, and overall economic conditions. In addition, used RV inventory levels remain generally low with rising prices, supporting the demand for new RVs in the long-term.

The RVIA’s latest published expectations for 2019 project wholesale unit shipments to range from approximately 445,000 units to 476,000 units, representing low-to-high-single digit percentage declines from 2018. We currently anticipate that RV dealer inventories will continue to normalize as we progress through the second quarter of 2019 and will support a return to wholesale shipment levels aligned more closely with retail demand in the latter half of the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2019.

We have continued to capture market share through our strategic acquisitions, line extensions, and the introduction of new and innovative products and have a favorable view of growth for the RV industry based on a number of factors including:
Attractive industry demographic trends with new and younger buyers entering the market and baby boomers reaching retirement age;
Readily available financing and improving consumer credit;
New and innovative products coming to market;
Consumer confidence;
Increased strength in the overall economic environment, including lower unemployment rates, improving trends in wages and improving consumer confidence levels; and

27



The value of the travel and leisure lifestyle related to spending quality time with families.
Marine Industry
Sales to the marine industry, which represented approximately 15% of the Company's consolidated net sales in the first quarter of 2019, increased 99% compared to the first quarter of 2018.

We anticipate that the marine market is poised to continue its recovery with the potential for a long runway of slow and steady growth as OEMs in this market continue to offer more value-added content and increased comfort and convenience on boats, consistent with the marine leisure lifestyle experience. Our marine portfolio companies are comprised of a high quality brand platform that is generating significant organic growth opportunities. The Company's combination of design, engineering, manufacturing and fabrication capabilities, along with its growing geographic footprint and comprehensive product offerings to its customers in the marine market, provides continuing opportunities for fully integrated solutions and additional content for the marine OEMs.

All indicators currently point toward another solid year in the marine industry with a growth rate in powerboat retail unit shipments for fiscal 2019 of low-to-mid-single digits based on long-term fundamental demand, aging boats in service, and the related replacement cycle, and positive consumer economic metrics.

For the first quarter of 2019, overall marine retail unit shipments in the powerboat sector, which is the Company's primary marine market, decreased approximately 7%, with aluminum and pontoon sales decreasing 14% and 3%, respectively, fiberglass decreasing 4%, and ski and wake sales increasing 13%. Retail sales and wholesale unit shipments in this market are seasonal and are traditionally strongest in the second and third quarters. This market continues to make a steady recovery, with single-digit annual average growth rates since 2010. Moreover, according to industry sources, the average age of boats in service is approximately 24 to 25 years compared to a 30-year estimated useful life, and approximately one million boats are expected to be retired over the next four years. The increased age of boats in service, low channel inventories, and continued positive demographics all point to anticipated growth in the marine market.

MH Industry
Sales to the MH industry, which represented 17% of the Company’s sales in the first quarter of 2019, increased 70% compared to the prior year. Based on industry data from the Manufactured Housing Institute and the Company's estimate for the month of March, MH wholesale unit shipments decreased by approximately 10% in the first quarter of 2019. Similar to the fourth quarter of 2018, manufactured housing continues to be negatively impacted by wet weather conditions in certain regions of the country where moving inventory and setting foundations and houses have been difficult. Nevertheless, demographic trends within the MH market indicate strong expected demand patterns related to first time home buyers and those looking to downsize.

The Company believes it is well-positioned to capitalize on pent up demand and the significant upside potential of the MH market in the long-term, especially given the increasing attractiveness of the single-family manufactured housing option and the combination of its nationwide geographic footprint, available capacity in current MH concentrated locations, and current content per unit levels.
Factors that may favorably impact production levels further in this industry include improving quality credit standards in the residential housing market, new jobs growth, consumer confidence, favorable changes in financing regulations, a narrowing spread in interest rates on MH loans and mortgages on traditional residential "stick-built" housing, and any improvement in conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.
Industrial Market
The industrial market is comprised primarily of the kitchen cabinet industry, hospitality, retail and commercial fixtures market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors. Sales to this market represented 12% of our consolidated sales in the first quarter of 2019 and increased 5% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period.
Overall, our revenues in these markets are focused on the residential housing, hospitality, high-rise, commercial construction and institutional furniture markets. Single and multifamily residential housing starts declined 5% and 19%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019, with combined new housing starts down 10% in the quarter. Interest rate

28



increases and tariffs in the past year have created some headwinds, but potential demand remains strong given the lack of affordable housing capacity and inventories. We believe these factors present opportunities for continued pent up demand along with improving consumer credit, strong jobs and wage growth, and demographic trends related to new buyers and those looking to downsize, and are aligned well with our core housing and industrial market model.
The industrial market is primarily impacted by macroeconomic conditions and more specifically, conditions in the residential housing market. We estimate that approximately 60% of our industrial business is directly tied to the residential housing market, with the remaining 40% directly tied to the non-residential and commercial markets. The Company believes there is a direct correlation between the demand for its products in the residential housing market and new residential housing construction and remodeling activities. Sales to the industrial market generally lag new residential housing starts by six to nine months.
Fiscal Year 2019 Outlook 
The 16 acquisitions we completed in total in 2017 and 2018 continue to present organic growth opportunities and synergies to further increase market share gains, expand geographically, establish best practices across all of our brands, and service our customers at the highest level. We continue to expect a return to a more normalized pattern of RV wholesale unit production in alignment with retail demand for fiscal year 2019.
Based on its most recent forecast, the RVIA expects the percentage decline in RV wholesale unit shipments for fiscal 2019 to range from low-single digits to high-single digits compared to full year 2018 reflecting the continued recalibration of dealer inventory levels. On the retail side, the Company expects RV retail unit shipments to be in the range of flat to a low-single digit percentage decline in 2019 with potential upside based on subsiding headwinds related to interest rates, tariffs, commodity prices, consumer confidence, and equity market volatility.

In the marine market, we anticipate that the retail unit growth rate in the powerboat sector of this market will be in the range of low-to-mid single digits in 2019 based on the increasing age of boats in service, balanced channel inventories, and continued positive demographics.

On the MH side, we are currently forecasting low-to-mid single digit growth rates in wholesale unit shipments for 2019, and a low single-digit growth rate in new housing starts overall, and expect to continue to increase our content and market share in both of these market sectors beyond the general industry expectations as a result of increasing market penetration, strategic geographic expansions, and cross selling opportunities.

Our team remains focused on strategic acquisitions in our existing, similar or complementary businesses, expanding operations in targeted regional territories, capturing market share and increasing our per unit content, keeping costs aligned with revenue, maximizing operating efficiencies, focusing on strategic capital expenditures to achieve cost reductions, labor efficiencies and increased capacity, talent management, engagement and retention, and the execution of our organizational strategic agenda.
In conjunction with our organizational strategic agenda, we plan to continue to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage our operating platform. The current capital plan for full year 2019 includes expenditures of approximately $30 million related primarily to strategic investments in geographic expansions, the strategic replacement and upgrading of production equipment to improve efficiencies and increase capacity, new process and product development, and other strategic capital and maintenance improvements.

Net Sales. Net sales in the first quarter of 2019 increased $56.4 million, or 10%, to $608.2 million from $551.8 million in the first quarter of 2018. The Company's net sales increased in three of its primary markets in the first quarter of 2019 with increases of 99% in marine, 70% in MH, and 5% in industrial, partly offset by a decline of 9% in RV market sales.

The consolidated net sales increase in the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflected revenue from nine acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2018, with no acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2019. In addition to the contributions of the 2018 acquisitions, increases in sales reflected increased penetration through geographic and product expansion efforts in the marine and MH markets. In the first quarter of 2018, we acquired Metal Moulding Corporation, Aluminum Metals Company, LLC, IMP Holdings, LLC d/b/a/ Indiana Marine Products, and Collins & Company, Inc. The revenue attributable to these four acquisitions in the first quarter of 2018 was $12.6 million.

The Company’s RV content per unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the first quarter of 2019 increased approximately 30% to $3,131 from $2,414 for the first quarter of 2018. The marine content per retail unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the first quarter of 2019 increased approximately 118% to an estimated $1,490 from $683 for the first quarter of 2018. MH content per unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the first quarter of 2019 increased approximately 42% to an estimated $3,389 from $2,382 for the first quarter of 2018.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $47.6 million, or 10%, to $501.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $454.1 million in 2018. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased during the first quarter of 2019 to 82.5% from 82.3% in 2018.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was impacted during the first quarter of 2019 by: (i) decreased RV revenue relative to overall fixed overhead costs; (ii) the lower distribution margin sales profile of LaSalle Bristol ("LaSalle"), which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2018 and (iii) inventory sold in the first quarter of 2019 which reflected higher input costs incurred in the latter part of 2018 relative to the current commodities market. Part of the increase in the cost of goods sold percentage was offset by leveraging fixed costs in the marine and industrial sectors and by the Company's acquisitions over the last 18 to 24 months that have a lower cost of goods sold percentage profile. In general, the Company's cost of goods sold percentage can be impacted from quarter-to-quarter by demand changes in certain market sectors that can result in fluctuating costs of certain raw materials and commodity-based components that are utilized and distributed. The timing of the Company's pass through of input cost increases and decreases to its customers may not coincide with the period in which such costs are incurred in inventory.

30



Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $8.7 million, or 9%, to $106.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $97.8 million in 2018. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 17.5% in the first quarter of 2019 from 17.7% in the same period in 2018. The improvement in gross profit dollars and the impact to the percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 2018 reflected the impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”.
 
Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of our RV, MH, marine and industrial businesses include the costs of commodities and the labor used to manufacture our products as well as the competitive environment that can cause gross margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. Material and labor costs are the primary factors determining our cost of products sold, and any future increases in raw material or labor costs would impact our profit margins negatively if we were unable to raise the selling prices to our customers for our products by corresponding amounts. Historically, we have generally been able to pass along cost increases to customers.
 
Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $7.0 million, or 41%, to $24.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $17.0 million in 2018. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 4.0% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 3.1% in the first quarter of 2018. The expense increase in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes and to the impact of certain acquisitions completed in 2018 that had higher warehouse and delivery expenses as a percentage of net sales when compared to the consolidated percentage. In addition, the Company's shipments to the OEMs in the first quarter of 2019 were generally in lower volume, and as a result transportation costs relative to sales levels of products delivered increased as a percentage of net sales.
 
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $5.9 million, or 18%, to $37.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $31.8 million in 2018. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 6.2% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 5.8% in the first quarter of 2018.

The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period primarily reflected: (i) the impact of additional headcount and administrative expenses associated with recent acquisitions; (ii) the additional investment in and costs related to an expansion of certain leadership roles to support our continued strategic growth plans in 2019 and beyond and (iii) the impact of certain acquisitions completed in 2018 that had higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales when compared to the consolidated percentage.
 
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in 2018. In the aggregate, in conjunction with the 2018 acquisitions, the Company recognized an estimated $121.9 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are being amortized over periods ranging from three to 10 years.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $6.0 million, or 14%, to $35.8 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $41.8 million in 2018. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 5.9% in the first quarter of 2019 versus 7.6% in the same period in 2018. Operating income in the first quarter of 2018 included $1.3 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in that period. The change in operating income and operating margin is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $4.6 million to $9.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $4.4 million in the prior year. The increase in interest expense reflects: (i) increased borrowings related to 2018 acquisitions and (ii) increases in the average interest rate on the variable rate portion of the Company's debt, which reflects increases in LIBOR in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year.
 
Income Taxes. For the first quarter of 2019, the effective tax rate was 22.3% compared to 19.6% in the comparable 2018 period. The effective tax rate for the periods presented includes the impact of the recognition of excess tax benefits on share-based compensation that were recorded as a reduction to income tax expense upon realization. Amounts recorded include $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact relating to the share-based payment awards in the first quarter of 2019 and any additional impact in the remainder of 2019, and excluding the impact of one-time tax items, we anticipate our full year 2019 effective tax rate to be between 25% and 26%.

The Company's combined effective income tax rate from period to period and for the full year 2019 could further fluctuate due to: (i) refinements in federal and state income tax estimates, which are impacted by the availability of tax credits; (ii)

31



permanent differences impacting the effective tax rate; (iii) shifts in apportionment factors among states as a result of recent acquisition activity and other factors and (iv) the timing of the recognition of excess tax benefits related to the vesting of share-based payments awards as previously discussed.

Net Income. Net income for the first quarter of 2019 was $20.8 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to $30.1 million, or $1.20 per diluted share for 2018. The changes in net income for the first quarter of 2019 reflect the impact of the items previously discussed.

Manufacturing
 
Sales. Sales decreased $11.9 million, or 3%, to $433.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $445.3 million in 2018. This segment accounted for approximately 70% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2019 and 79% the first quarter of 2018. The sales decrease in the first quarter of 2019 largely reflected a decrease in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries and in retail shipments in the marine industry. Revenue in the first quarter of 2018 included $10.3 million related to acquisitions completed in the first three months of 2018.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $4.8 million, or 6%, to $76.8 in the first quarter of 2019 from $81.6 million in the first quarter of 2018. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased to 17.7% in the first quarter of 2019 from 18.3% in 2018.

Gross profit decreased during the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to: (i) decreased revenue relative to overall fixed overhead costs and (ii) inventory sold in the first quarter of 2019 which reflected higher input costs incurred in the latter part of 2018 relative to the current commodities market.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased 16% to $44.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $52.9 million in the prior year. In addition to the gross profit decline discussed above, operating expenses increased $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2019, mostly attributed to an increase in SG&A expense due to an increase in head count. Operating income in the first quarter of 2018 included $1.2 million attributable to three manufacturing acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2018.

Distribution
 
Sales. Sales increased $67.1 million, or 58%, to $183.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $116.6 million in 2018. This segment accounted for approximately 30% and 21%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018. The sales increase in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior period quarter was largely attributed to the revenue contribution of the distribution business acquired during the fourth quarter of 2018. Revenue in the first quarter of 2018 included $2.3 million related to the one distribution acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2018.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $11.1 million to $29.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $17.9 million in the first quarter of 2018. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 15.8% in the first quarter of 2019 from 15.3% in the first quarter of 2018, primarily reflecting the impact of acquisitions completed during 2018 which had higher margin product lines.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $1.0 million to $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $7.3 million in the prior year. Operating income in the first quarter of 2018 included $0.1 million related to the one distribution acquisition completed in that quarter. The overall net improvement in operating income in the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects the items discussed above.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses in the first quarter of 2019 decreased $3.4 million to $7.9 million from $11.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease in unallocated corporate expenses in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 was largely attributable to a decrease in accrued incentive compensation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities are one of the Company's primary sources of liquidity, representing the net income the Company earned in the reported periods, adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

33



Net cash provided by operating activities increased $2.1 million to $27.9 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $25.8 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to: (i) an increase in depreciation and amortization of $4.2 million; (ii) an increase in non-cash interest expense from the amortization of convertible notes debt discount of $0.4 million; (iii) an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million; (iv) a decrease in use of cash from other operating cash flows of $1.1 million, and (vi) a decrease in the use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions of businesses, of $5.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in net income of $9.2 million.
Investing Activities  
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $93.7 million to $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $103.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to: (i) a decrease in cash used in business acquisitions of $94.6 million and (ii) an increase in proceeds from the sale of property, equipment and other investing activities of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $2.4 million.
The Company's current operating model forecasts capital expenditures for fiscal 2019 of approximately $30 million related primarily to strategic investments in geographic expansions, the strategic replacement and upgrading of production equipment to improve efficiencies and increase capacity, new process and product development, and other strategic capital and maintenance improvements.
Financing Activities 
Cash flows from financing activities are one of the Company's primary sources of liquidity through borrowings, effective June 5, 2018 under a credit facility (the "2018 Credit Facility") consisting of a revolving credit loan (the "2018 Revolver") and a term loan (the "2018 Term Loan").
Net cash flows used by financing activities increased $91.5 million to $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 from a source of cash of $75.0 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to: (i) gross proceeds of $172.5 million from the first quarter 2018 issuance of 1% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Convertible Notes") with no comparable amount in the first quarter of 2019; (ii) a source of cash in the first quarter of 2018 of $18.1 million from the related sale of warrants with no comparable amount in the first quarter of 2019; (iii) a use of cash of $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 from payment of contingent consideration from a business acquisition with no comparable amount in the first quarter of 2018; and (iv) an increase in cash used for the vesting of stock-based awards, net of shares tendered for taxes of $0.6 million. Partially offsetting these items were: (i) a decrease in use of cash from net repayments under the 2018 Credit Facility of $54.2 million; (ii) a use of cash in the first quarter of 2018 of $31.5 million from the purchase of Convertible Notes hedges with no comparable amount in the first quarter of 2019; (iii) a use of cash from stock repurchases under stock buyback program of $13.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 with no comparable amount in the first quarter of 2019, and (iv) a decrease in the use of cash for deferred financing payments of $5.1 million.
See Notes 9, 10, 14 and 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company's indebtedness, derivative financial instruments, income taxes, and stock repurchases, respectively.
Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under its 2018 Credit Facility are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on its current cash flow budgets and forecast of short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
The ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the 2018 Credit Facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the credit agreement that established the 2018 Credit Agreement. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company was in compliance with its financial debt covenants as required under the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement. See Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV, MH and marine industries as well as the industrial markets we serve, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of customers. In the event that operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of the Company's capital resources were to

34



become unavailable, the Company would seek to revise its operating strategies accordingly. The Company will continue to assess its liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.

Borrowings under the 2018 Revolver and the 2018 Term Loan, which are subject to variable rates of interest, were subject to a maximum total borrowing limit of $900.0 million (effective June 5, 2018). See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on interest rate swaps used to partially hedge variable interest rates under the 2018 Revolver and 2018 Term Loan. The unused availability under the 2018 Credit Facility as of March 31, 2019 was $419.6 million.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". See Note 12 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies which are summarized in the MD&A and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018
 OTHER
Seasonality
Manufacturing operations in the RV, marine and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits had generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers in the August/September timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years due to the impact of national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, timing of dealer orders, fluctuations in dealer inventories, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.
INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The Company makes forward-looking statements with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for the common stock of Patrick Industries, Inc. and other matters from time to time and desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” which is afforded such statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 when they are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The statements contained in the foregoing “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, as well as other statements contained in the quarterly report and statements contained in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), publicly disseminated press releases, quarterly earnings conference calls, and statements which may be made from time to time in the future by management of the Company in presentations to shareholders, prospective investors, and others interested in the business and financial affairs of the Company, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Any projections of financial performance or statements concerning expectations as to future developments should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results or developments will, in fact, occur. There can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly different from that set forth in such forward-looking statement. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law. Factors that may affect the Company’s operations and prospects are contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and in the Company's Form 10-Qs for subsequent quarterly periods, which are filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Debt Obligations under Credit Agreement
At March 31, 2019, our total debt obligations under our 2018 Credit Agreement were under LIBOR-based interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the underlying LIBOR and prime rates would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $2.8 million, assuming average borrowings, including the 2018 Term Loan, subject to variable rates of $280.0 million, which was the amount of such borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2019 subject to variable rates. The $280.0 million excludes the reclassification of deferred financing costs related to the 2018 Term Loan and $200.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility that are hedged at a fixed interest rate through interest rate swaps.

Inflation 
The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, particleboard, aluminum, softwoods lumber, and petroleum-based products are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, such as the price of oil, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile and continued to fluctuate in the first three months of 2019. During periods of rising commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass the increased costs to our customers in the form of surcharges and price 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. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.

36



ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and the Company’s management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 or subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
