NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


1.			BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Patrick Industries, Inc. (“Patrick”, the “Company”, "we", "our") contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that we believe are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021, its results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2022 and September 26, 2021, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 25, 2022 and September 26, 2021.

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 condensed 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. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the prior period presentation to conform to the current period presentation of other non-cash items in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For a description of significant accounting policies used by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, please refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we will realize or expect for the full year ending December 31, 2022.

The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning approximately thirteen weeks. The first quarter ends on the Sunday closest to the end of the first thirteen-week period. The second and third quarters are thirteen weeks in duration and the fourth quarter is the remainder of the year. The third quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended on September 25, 2022 and the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 ended on September 26, 2021.

In preparation of Patrick’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the third quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2022, management evaluated all subsequent events and 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

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity", a new standard that simplifies certain accounting treatments for convertible debt instruments. The guidance eliminates certain requirements that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features and simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. In addition, the new guidance requires entities use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted net income per share calculation and include the effect of potential share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, with certain exceptions. Furthermore, the guidance requires new disclosures about events that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met and about the fair value of convertible debt at the instrument level, among other things. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using a modified retrospective transition approach. The primary impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 was a reduction in

non-cash interest expense for our 1.00% Convertible Notes due 2023, an increase in diluted shares outstanding used to calculate diluted net income per share and a resulting reduction in diluted net income per share for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 attributable to the application of the if-converted method for such convertible notes. In addition, the adoption resulted in the recognition of a $56.0 million increase to the carrying value of convertible notes payable through a decrease in the convertible notes debt discount, a $12.4 million decrease in "Deferred tax liabilities, net", and a $59.7 million decrease in "Additional paid-in-capital", resulting in a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as an increase of $16.0 million as of January 1, 2022. In line with the adoption, our diluted share count increased by approximately 2.1 million shares for the third quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2022, a 9% increase. Net income used in the calculation of diluted net income per share increased $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 in relation to the effect of interest on potentially dilutive convertible notes, as shown in Note 8. The adoption resulted in an overall decrease of $0.20 and $1.01, respectively, to diluted net income per share for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022. There was no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows upon adoption of ASU 2020-06.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)", a new standard providing final guidance to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London InterBank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. In the third quarter ended September 25, 2022, the Company amended its current credit agreement, which included a transition from a LIBOR-based rate to a SOFR-based rate. See Note 9 for further discussion of this amendment. The transition from LIBOR to SOFR in accordance with the amended agreement did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

6.			ACQUISITIONS

General

The Company completed no acquisitions in the third quarter of 2022 and completed three acquisitions in the nine months ended September 25, 2022 (the "2022 Acquisitions"). For the third quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2022, net sales included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income related to the 2022 Acquisitions were $38.0 million and $87.3 million, respectively, and operating income was $6.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively. Acquisition-related costs associated with the 2022 Acquisitions were immaterial. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions were recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet 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 a one year measurement period. The Company completed three acquisitions in the third quarter of 2021 and completed ten acquisitions in the nine months ended September 26, 2021. For the third quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2021, net sales included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income related to the acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2021 were $84.0 million and $146.1 million, respectively, and operating income was $6.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively.

For each acquisition, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, which generally 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, market share growth and net income.

In connection with certain acquisitions, if certain financial results for the acquired businesses are achieved, the Company is required to pay additional cash consideration. The Company records a liability for the estimated 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 at the date of acquisition. As of September 25, 2022, the aggregate fair value of the estimated contingent consideration payments was $10.7 million, of which $7.2 million is included in "Accrued liabilities" and $3.5 million is included in “Other long-term liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration payments was $12.3 million, of which $7.0 million was included in the line item "Accrued liabilities" and $5.3 million was included in "Other long-term liabilities". 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 $15.0 million in the aggregate as of September 25, 2022. In the nine months ended September 25, 2022, the Company recorded $3.0 million in non-cash increases to contingent consideration liabilities, which are reflected as charges within selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income, representing changes in the amount of consideration expected to be paid. These charges relate to changes in projected performance of certain acquisitions compared to the projected performance originally used in calculating the projected fair values of the contingent consideration of such acquisitions. There were no non-cash increases to contingent consideration during the third quarter ended September 25, 2022. In the nine months ended September 25, 2022, the Company made cash payments of approximately $6.4 million related to contingent consideration liabilities, recording a corresponding reduction to accrued liabilities. The Company made no cash payments related to contingent consideration liabilities in the third quarter ended September 25, 2022.

The preliminary purchase price allocations are subject to valuation activities being finalized, primarily related to the valuation of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, and thus certain purchase accounting adjustments are subject to change within the measurement period as the Company finalizes its estimates. Purchase accounting adjustments are complete for all 2021 Acquisitions completed through September 26, 2021. Changes to preliminary purchase accounting estimates recorded in the third quarter ended September 25, 2022 related to the 2021 Acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were immaterial and relate primarily to the valuation of intangible and fixed assets.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition for the 2022 Acquisitions and the 2021 Acquisitions:


(thousands)			2022 Acquisitions		2021 Acquisitions

		Goodwill(5)	46,417		147,723
			$	154,054	$	524,014

(1) Amounts include cash used to pay off outstanding debt obligations at the time of acquisition.

(2) Certain acquisitions contain working capital holdbacks which are typically settled after a 90-day period following the close of the acquisition. This value represents the remaining amounts due to sellers as of September 25, 2022.

(3) In connection with one of the 2021 Acquisitions, the Company issued 113,961 shares of common stock at a closing price of $89.60 as of the acquisition date.

(4) These amounts reflect the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration based on expected future results relating to certain acquisitions.

(5) Goodwill is tax-deductible for the 2022 Acquisitions, except Rockford Corporation (approximately $36.4 million), and for the 2021 Acquisitions, except Tumacs Covers (approximately $6.2 million).

We estimate the value of acquired property, plant, and equipment using a combination of the income, cost, and market approaches, such as estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the acquired businesses.

We estimate the value of customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a variation on the income approach, calculating the present value of incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset. Non-compete agreements are valued using a discounted cash flow approach, which is a variation of an income approach, with and without the individual counterparties to the non-compete agreements. Trademarks and patents are valued using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value.

The following table presents our estimates of identifiable intangible assets for the 2022 Acquisitions and the 2021 Acquisitions:


(thousands, except year data)	Estimated Useful Life (in years)	2022 Acquisitions		2021 Acquisitions
Customer relationships	10	$	62,880	$	160,412
Non-compete agreements	5	640		3,843
Patents	10 - 18	7,500		28,850
Trademarks	Indefinite	17,220		52,689
		$	88,240	$	245,794

For the acquisition of Rockford Corporation previously mentioned, the $79.9 million of identifiable intangible assets consists of $56.0 million for customer relationships, $0.4 million for non-compete agreements, $7.5 million for patents (estimated useful life of 15 years), and $16.0 million for trademarks. These amounts were provisionally estimated at $70.0 million, consisting of $42.0 million for customer relationships, $2.1 million for non-compete agreements, $10.5 million for patents (estimated useful life of 15 years), and $15.4 million for trademarks in the prior two quarters but have been updated to the aforementioned values based on valuation procedures being performed.

2021 Credit Facility

On August 11, 2022, the Company entered into the first amendment of its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “2021 Credit Agreement”) dated April 20, 2021, under which the senior secured credit facility was increased to $925 million from $700 million and the maturity date was extended to August 11, 2027 from April 20, 2026. The senior credit facility under the 2021 Credit Agreement is comprised of a $775 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver due 2027") and the remaining balance of the $150 million term loan (the "Term Loan due 2027"). The Term Loan due 2027 quarterly repayment schedule was revised to be repaid in quarterly installments in the following amounts: (i) beginning June 30, 2021, through and including June 30, 2025, in the amount of $1,875,000, and (ii) beginning September 30, 2025, and each quarter thereafter, in the amount of $3,750,000, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The Company recorded a $0.3 million write-off of deferred financing costs pertaining to the amendment, which is included in "Selling, general and administrative" in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022. Interest rates for borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement transitioned to a SOFR-based option from a LIBOR-based option.

The interest rate for incremental borrowings under the Revolver due 2027 at September 25, 2022 was SOFR plus 1.25% (or 3.66%) for the SOFR-based option. The fee payable on committed but unused portions of the Revolver due 2027 was 0.18% at September 25, 2022.

The Company intends to utilize available borrowing capacity under the Revolver due 2027 and cash on hand to satisfy its repayment obligation upon maturity of the 1.00% Convertible Notes due 2023 if not previously converted or repurchased.

Total cash interest paid for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 was $3.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and $30.9 million and $21.2 million for the comparative nine month periods, respectively.


10.			DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's credit facility previously exposed the Company to risks associated with the variability in interest expense associated with fluctuations in LIBOR. To partially mitigate this risk, the Company previously entered into interest rate swaps, which matured in March 2022, and therefore have no further associated liability as of September 25, 2022.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative contracts included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

As of September 25, 2022, outstanding leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 year to 17 years. The Company has additional operating leases that have not yet commenced as of September 25, 2022 and, therefore, were not included as operating right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 25, 2022. These operating leases are anticipated to commence between the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the second quarter of fiscal 2023 with lease terms of 5 years to 7 years. The estimated fair value of these operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities to be recorded on our balance sheet upon lease commencement is approximately $9.2 million.

15.			STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

In January 2022, the Company's Board authorized an increase in the amount of the Company's common stock that may be acquired over the next 24 months under the current stock repurchase program to $100 million, including the $11.0 million remaining under the previous authorization. Approximately $62.9 million remains in the amount of the Company's common stock that may be acquired under the current stock repurchase program as of September 25, 2022. The Company repurchased 154,388 shares of its common stock at an average price of $48.18 per share for an aggregate cost of $7.4 million in the third quarter ended September 25, 2022, and 808,642 shares of its common stock at an average price of $60.28 per share for an aggregate cost of $48.7 million in the nine months ended September 25, 2022. The Company repurchased 128,929 shares of its common stock at an average price of $80.62 per share for an aggregate cost of $10.4 million in the third quarter ended September 26, 2021 and repurchased 388,929 shares at an average price of $82.14 per share for an aggregate cost of $31.9 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2021.

16.			COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, audits, and other claims arising in the normal course of business. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Accruals for these items, when applicable, have been provided to the extent that losses are deemed probable and are reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted from time to time as developments warrant.

Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained, on the basis of present information, amounts already provided, availability of insurance coverage and legal advice received, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company disclosed litigation concerning the Lusher Site Remediation Group in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K. The Company has also been named as a potentially responsible party for the related Lusher Street Groundwater Contamination Superfund Site (the "Superfund Site") by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"). The Company sold certain parcels of real property that the EPA contends are connected to the Superfund Site (the "Divested Properties") in January 2022 for a pretax gain on disposal of $5.5 million that is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income for the first nine months of 2022. The purchaser agreed to indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless for all liability and exposure, both private and to all EPA claims, concerning and relating to the Divested Properties. No further proceedings have occurred in the first nine months of 2022. As to the real properties that were not among the Divested Properties but remain the subject of the litigation, the Company does not currently believe that the litigation or the Superfund Site matter are likely to have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, any litigation is inherently uncertain, the EPA has yet to select a final remedy for the Superfund Site, and any judgment or injunctive relief entered against us or any adverse settlement could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Certain of our customers in the RV end market initiated recalls in 2021 involving certain products that were produced by a third party and sold by our Distribution segment. Although we do not believe we are legally responsible for costs related to the product recall, based on discussions with our customers and other developments subsequent to when these recalls were initiated, the Company will bear a portion of the total cost of the recalls. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we recorded an estimate of the Company's cost related to this matter, and subsequently reached agreements with certain customers in the second quarter of 2022 on the maximum financial obligation we may face. We recorded an additional immaterial estimate of the Company's costs related to these agreements in the second quarter of 2022. No further settlements have occurred or charges have been recorded in the third quarter of 2022. We do not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Report. In addition, this MD&A contains certain statements relating to future results which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34 of this Report. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW OF MARKETS AND RELATED INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE

Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 Financial Overview

Recreational Vehicle ("RV") Industry

The RV industry is our primary market and comprised 47% and 60% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in the third quarter ended September 25, 2022 and September 26, 2021, respectively, and 55% and 59% for the comparative nine month periods, respectively. Net sales to the RV industry decreased 17% in the third quarter of 2022 and increased 26% in the first nine months of 2022, compared to the prior year periods.

According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association ("RVIA"), RV wholesale shipments decreased 40% in the third quarter of 2022 to approximately 91,800 units from approximately 152,400 units in the third quarter of 2021. While we estimate RV retail unit sales for the third quarter of 2022 decreased 20% compared to the third quarter of 2021, retail sales still exceeded wholesale shipments in the third quarter of 2022 as a result of the significant reduction in RV OEM production.

RV wholesale unit shipments for the first nine months of 2022 totaled approximately 415,600 units, a decrease of 8% from approximately 452,600 units in the comparative prior year period. We estimate that RV wholesale unit shipments exceeded RV retail unit sales in the first nine months of 2022, which we believe indicates a replenishment of RV dealer inventories in the first half of 2022 compared to the historically low levels experienced in the latter part of 2020 and 2021. RV wholesale shipments for the first six months of 2022 totaled approximately 323,000 units. We believe that the slowing of RV OEM production in the third quarter of 2022 following the replenishment of RV dealer inventories in the first half of 2022 can assist in ensuring that the health of the inventory channel is maintained.

Marine Industry

Net sales to the marine industry, which represented approximately 24% and 16% of the Company's consolidated net sales in the third quarter ended September 25, 2022 and September 26, 2021, respectively, increased 57% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, net sales to the marine industry represented 20% and 16% of our consolidated net sales, respectively, increasing 64% in 2022 compared to the prior year period.

Our marine revenue is generally correlated to marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments, which, according to Company estimates based on data published by the National Marine Manufacturers Association ("NMMA"), increased 5% for the third quarter of 2022 and increased 5% for the first nine months of 2022, compared to the prior year periods.We estimate that marine retail powerboat unit sales decreased an estimated 4% and 13% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily as a result of a limited retail units available for purchase caused in part by shortages in motors and certain electronic components used in OEM production. Estimated retail shipments continued to outpace wholesale shipments in the third quarter of 2022, and we estimate that marine dealer inventory levels continue to remain low.

Manufactured Housing ("MH") Industry

Net sales to the MH industry, which represented 16% and 13% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, increased 30% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021. MH sales represented 14% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in each of the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and increased 39% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021. Based on industry data from the Manufactured Housing Institute, MH wholesale unit shipments increased 10% in the third quarter of 2022 and increased 13% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year periods.

Industrial Market

The industrial market is comprised primarily of the kitchen cabinet and countertop industry, hospitality market, retail and commercial fixtures market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors. Net sales to this market represented 13% and 11% of our consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and increased 19% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year quarter. Industrial net sales represented 11% of the Company’s sales in each of the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and increased 26% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021. Overall, our revenues in these markets are focused on residential and multifamily housing, hospitality, high-rise housing and office, commercial construction and institutional furniture markets. We estimate that, in general, approximately 60-70% of our industrial business is directly tied to the residential housing market, with the remaining 30-40% directly tied to the non-residential and commercial markets.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, combined new housing starts decreased 7% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year quarter, with single family housing starts decreasing 18% and multifamily housing starts increasing 19% for the same period. For the first nine months of 2022, combined new housing starts increased 1%, with single family housing starts decreasing 6% and multifamily housing starts increasing 18% for the same period. Our industrial products are generally among the last components installed in new unit construction and as such our related sales typically trail new housing starts by four to six months.

Net Sales. Net sales in the third quarter of 2022 increased $51.9 million, or 5%, to $1,112.1 million from $1,060.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. The net sales increase in the third quarter of 2022 reflects continued demand for our products in the marine, MH and industrial markets, as well as the contribution of acquisitions completed in 2021 and 2022, partially offset by a decline in RV market sales resulting from a reduction in RV OEM production. The Company's RV market sales decreased 17%, marine market sales increased 57%, MH market sales increased 30% and industrial market sales increased 19% when compared to the prior year quarter.

Net sales in the first nine months of 2022 increased $999.4 million, or 34%, to $3,930.0 million from $2,930.6 million in the first nine months of 2021. The net sales increase in the first nine months of 2022 reflects continued demand for our products across all our end markets, as well as the contribution of acquisitions completed in 2021 and 2022. The Company's RV market sales increased 26%, marine market sales increased 64%, MH market sales increased 39% and industrial market sales increased 26% when compared to the prior year period.

Revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2022 was $38.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $87.3 million in the first nine months of 2022. Revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2021 was $84.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $146.1 million in the first nine months of 2021.

The Company’s RV content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the third quarter of 2022 increased approximately 36% to $5,071 from $3,735 for the third quarter of 2021. Marine powerboat content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the third quarter of 2022 increased approximately 60% to an estimated $5,109 from $3,196 for the third quarter of 2021. MH content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the third quarter of 2022 increased approximately 21% to $6,023 from $4,960 for the third quarter of 2021.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $23.6 million, or 3%, to $875.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $852.0 million in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased 170 basis points during the third quarter of 2022 to 78.7% from 80.4% in the prior year period.

Cost of goods sold increased $714.7 million, or 30%, to $3,071.1 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $2,356.4 million in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased 230 basis points during the first nine months of 2022 to 78.1% from 80.4% in the prior year period.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 primarily as a result of (i) continued cost reduction and automation initiatives we deployed throughout 2021 and into 2022 that have begun to have a positive impact on costs, (ii) improved labor efficiencies as a result of investment in human capital and improved retention rates, and (iii) synergies and different cost profiles from acquisitions completed in 2021 and 2022. For the third quarter of 2022, these three factors contributed to a 110 basis point decrease in labor as a percentage of net sales and 130 basis point decrease in material costs as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a 70 basis point increase in overhead as a percentage of net sales in part as a result of fixed cost absorption related to reduced RV market sales. For the first nine months of 2022, these three factors contributed to a 220 basis point decrease in labor as a percentage of net sales and a 40 basis point decrease in overhead as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a 40 basis point increase in material costs as a percentage of net sales as a result of supply-chain constraints, an increase in certain commodity cost inputs, and $6.8 million of inventory step-up adjustments from purchase accounting related to acquisitions. 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 in production.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $28.3 million, or 14%, to $236.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $208.2 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 170 basis points to 21.3% in the third quarter of 2022 from 19.6% in the same period in the prior year period.

Gross profit increased $284.7 million, or 50%, to $858.9 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $574.2 million in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 230 basis points to 21.9% in the first nine months of 2022 from 19.6% in the same period in 2021.

The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 reflects the impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $4.1 million, or 11%, to $40.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $35.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses increased 20 basis points to 3.6% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 3.4% in the third quarter of 2021.

Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $24.6 million, or 24%, to $125.2 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $100.6 million in the first nine months of 2021. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses decreased 20 basis points to 3.2% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to 3.4% in the first nine months of 2021.

The increase in warehouse and delivery expenses in the third quarter and first nine months ended September 25, 2022 compared to the same 2021 periods is attributable to the increase in sales. The increase as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same 2021 period is primarily attributable to the higher proportion of MH sales, which have higher warehouse and delivery costs as a percentage of sales, as well as elevated fuel prices and increased insurance rates. The decrease as a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same 2021 period is primarily attributable to leveraging certain fixed warehousing costs.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $20.7 million, or 32%, to $84.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $64.2 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 7.6% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 6.1% in the third quarter of 2021.

SG&A expenses increased $75.2 million, or 43%, to $251.0 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $175.8 million in the comparative prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 6.4% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to 6.0% in the first nine months of 2021.

The increase in SG&A expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to 2021 is primarily due to (i) the increase in net sales, and (ii) increases in the breadth and depth of corporate resources, specifically our investments in human capital, technology and other initiatives to support the size and growth of the Company. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 150 basis points for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 and 40 basis points for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021. These increases are primarily a result of increased expenses related to the enhancement of the Company's healthcare and employee benefit plans and the investments in information technology initiatives.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $4.0 million, or 27%, to $18.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $14.8 million in the prior year quarter. Amortization of intangible assets increased $13.5 million, or 33%, to $54.2 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $40.7 million in the prior year period. The increase in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period primarily reflects the impact of businesses acquired in 2021 and 2022.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $0.5 million, or 1%, to $92.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $93.3 million in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, operating income decreased 50 basis points to 8.3% in the third quarter of 2022 versus 8.8% in the same period in 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, operating income increased $171.5 million, or 67%, to $428.5 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $257.0 million in the same 2021 period. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased 210 basis points to 10.9% in the first nine months of 2022 versus 8.8% in the same period in 2021. The change in operating income and operating margin is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense decreased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $15.4 million in the prior year period. Interest expense increased $3.8 million, or 9%, to $45.0 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $41.2 million in the prior year period.

The increase in interest expense for the first nine months of 2022 reflects (i) increased borrowings related to 2021 and 2022 acquisitions and (ii) the Company's issuance of its 1.75% Convertible Notes due 2028 in December 2021. These increases were partially offset by (i) a reduction in non-cash interest expense related to our 1.00% Convertible Notes due 2023 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 in the first quarter of 2022 and (ii) a reduction in interest expense on our credit facility due to the maturity of our interest rate swaps.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense decreased $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $18.6 million from $20.4 million in the prior year period. Income tax expense increased $43.6 million in the first nine months of 2022 to $95.5 million from $51.9 million in the prior year period.

The decrease in income tax expense for the third quarter is due primarily to a decrease in pretax income as well as a decreased effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 primarily related to adjustments recorded with the completion of our prior period returns and realizing greater research and development credits than originally anticipated. The increase in income tax expense for the first nine months of 2022 is due primarily to an increase in pretax income. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 was 24.1% and 26.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 was 24.9% and 24.1%, respectively. The first nine months of 2022 and 2021 rates include the impact of the recognition of excess tax benefits on share-based compensation that was recorded as a reduction to income tax expense in the amount of $4.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

Use of Financial Metrics

Our MD&A includes financial metrics, such as RV, marine and MH content per unit, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance. Content per unit metrics are generally calculated using our market sales divided by Company estimates based on third-party measures of industry volume. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to U.S. GAAP. Our computations of content per unit may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These metrics should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Company's reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, are based on its method of internal reporting. The Company regularly evaluates the performance of the Manufacturing and Distribution segments and allocates resources to them based on a variety of indicators including sales and operating income. The Company does not measure profitability at the customer market (RV, marine, MH and industrial) level.

Manufacturing

Sales. Sales increased $54.6 million, or 7%, to $846.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $792.3 million in the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2022, sales increased $802.5 million, or 37%, to $2,954.4 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $2,151.9 million in the prior year period. This segment accounted for approximately 75% and 73% of the Company’s sales for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 74% and 72% of the Company’s sales for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The sales increase in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 was attributed to sales increases in the Company's marine, MH and industrial markets partially offset by a decline in RV market sales resulting from a reduction in RV OEM production. The Company's RV end market sales decreased 18%, the marine end market sales increased 56%, the MH end market sales increased 30% and industrial end market sales increased 21%. The sales increase in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same 2021 period was attributed to sales increases in all four of the Company's end markets, where sales to the RV end market increased 29%, marine increased 63%, MH increased 41% and industrial increased 29%. Net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2022 was approximately $38.0 million and $87.3 million, respectively. Net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2021 was approximately $63.4 million and $110.1 million, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $33.3 million, or 22%, to $182.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $149.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, gross profit increased $257.3 million, or 61%, to $677.9 million from $420.6 million in the first nine months of 2021. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 21.5% in the third quarter of 2022 from 18.8% in the third quarter of 2021, and increased to 22.9% in the first nine months of 2022 from 19.5% in the first nine months of 2021.

Gross profit margin increased during the third quarter of 2022 compared to third quarter of 2021 primarily due to a 260 basis point decrease in manufacturing material expense as a percentage of sales and an 80 basis point decrease in manufacturing labor as a percentage of sales, partially offset by a 60 basis point increase in manufacturing overhead as a percentage of sales. These margin improvements were in part a result of previous and ongoing automation and production efficiency initiatives, as well as the margin profiles of certain acquisitions.

Gross profit margin increased during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 primarily due to a 160 basis point decrease in manufacturing labor as a percentage of sales, a 100 basis point decrease in manufacturing overhead as a percentage of sales, and a 70 basis point decrease in manufacturing material expense as a percentage of sales. These margin improvements were in part a result of previous and ongoing automation and production efficiency initiatives, as well as the margin profiles of certain acquisitions and leveraging certain fixed costs.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $18.1 million, or 20%, to $109.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $91.4 million in the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2022, operating income increased $191.5 million, or 71%, to $460.7 million from $269.2 million in the prior year period. The overall increase in operating income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 primarily reflects the items discussed above.

Distribution

Sales. Sales decreased $3.3 million, or 1%, to $286.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $289.8 million in the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2022, sales increased $212.5 million, or 26%, to $1,045.9 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $833.4 million in the prior year period. This segment accounted for approximately 25% and 27% of the Company’s sales for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately 26% and 28% of the Company’s sales for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The sales decrease in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 was attributed to a 16% decrease in our RV market sales as a result of reduced wholesale shipments, partially offset by a 74% increase in marine market sales and a 30% increase in MH market sales. The sales increase in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 was attributed to a 20% increase in our RV market sales, a 97% increase in marine market sales, and a 37% increase in MH market sales, partially offset by a 2% decrease in industrial market sales. None of the net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 were attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2022. Net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2021 were approximately $20.6 million and $36.0 million, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $1.1 million, or 2%, to $56.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $57.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, gross profit increased $49.5 million, or 31%, to $207.5 million from $158.0 million in the first nine months of 2021. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased slightly to 19.6% in the third quarter of 2022 from 19.8% in the third quarter of 2021, and increased to 19.8% in the first nine months of 2022 from 19.0% in the first nine months of 2021.

Gross profit margin decreased during the third quarter of 2022 compared to third quarter of 2021 primarily due to an 80 basis point increase in distribution material expense as a percentage of sales as a result of supply-chain constraints and increased material costs, partially offset by a 70 basis point decrease in distribution labor as a percentage of sales primarily attributable to a decrease in utilization of outsourced labor.

Gross profit margin increased during the first nine months of 2022 compared to first nine months of 2021 primarily due to a 290 basis point decrease in distribution labor as a percentage of sales attributable to reduced utilization of outsourced labor, partially offset by a 200 basis point increase in distribution material expense as a percentage of sales as a result of supply-chain constraints and increased material costs.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $4.0 million, or 13%, to $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $31.2 million in the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2022, operating income increased $33.2 million, or 40%, to $116.8 million from $83.6 million in the prior year period. The changes in operating income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 primarily reflects the items discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity at September 25, 2022 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $53.3 million and $432.1 million of availability under our credit facility. This unused capacity on our revolving credit facility is net of a $202.5 million temporary reserve until the settlement of our 1.00% Convertible Notes due 2023.

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.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $229.8 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to $147.4 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to an increased source of cash from (i) a $124.1 million increase in net income and (ii) a $20.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by an increase in use of cash for net working capital of $47.0 million, associated primarily with a reduction in current liabilities, as compared to the prior period. In addition, there was a decrease in a source of cash for deferred income taxes of $6.5 million and an increase in a use of cash for gain on sale of property, plant and equipment of $5.7 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $134.8 million to $208.9 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $343.7 million in the first nine months of 2021 primarily due to a decrease in cash used in business acquisitions of $144.8 million, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $19.2 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $90.5 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $196.4 million in the first nine months of 2021. This change is primarily due to proceeds of $350.0 million from the Company's issuance of its 4.75% Senior Notes due 2029 in the first nine months of 2021 and an additional $58.8 million in term loan borrowings in the first nine months of 2021. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in net revolver repayments of $139.5 million compared to the prior year period and an $18.6 million increase in stock repurchases and dividends to shareholders.

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 25, 2022, the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under its current 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, including satisfying its obligations related to the 1.00% Convertible Notes due 2023.

The ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the Company's current credit facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the Company's current credit agreement (as amended, the "2021 Credit Agreement").

As of and for the reporting period ended September 25, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as required under the terms of its 2021 Credit Agreement. The required maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and the required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as such ratios are defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement, compared to the actual amounts as of September 25, 2022 and for the fiscal period then ended are as follows:


	Required	Actual
Consolidated secured net leverage ratio (12-month period)	2.75	0.27
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (12-month period)	1.50	6.19

In addition, as of September 25, 2022, the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio (12-month period) was 1.81. While this ratio was a covenant under the Company’s credit agreement in existence prior to the 2021 Credit Agreement, it is not a covenant under the 2021 Credit Agreement. However, it is used in the determination of the applicable borrowing margin under the 2021 Credit Agreement.

Working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV, MH, marine and 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 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies which are summarized in the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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 as well as marine open houses in the January/February 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, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer buying patterns, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.

Russia-Ukraine War

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. As military activity proceeds and sanctions, export controls and other measures are imposed against Russia, Belarus and specific areas of Ukraine, the war is increasingly affecting the global economy and financial markets, as well as exacerbating ongoing economic challenges, including rising inflation and global supply-chain disruption. We will continue to monitor the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war on macroeconomic conditions and continually assess the effect these matters may have on consumer demand, our suppliers’ ability to deliver products, cybersecurity risks and our liquidity and access to capital.

Subsequent Events

We evaluated all subsequent events and 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.

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 this 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. Information about certain risks that could affect our business and cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements are contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in the Company's Forms 10-Q 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 September 25, 2022, our total debt obligations under our credit agreement were under SOFR-based interest rates. A 100-basis point increase in the underlying SOFR would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $2.8 million, assuming average borrowings, including our term loan, subject to variable rates of $275.6 million, which was the amount of such borrowings outstanding at September 25, 2022 subject to variable rates. The $275.6 million excludes deferred financing costs related to the term loan.

LIBOR Transition

Beginning December 31, 2021, banks stopped reporting information used to set LIBOR as their reporting obligations ceased. The cessation of certain LIBOR tenures beginning as of December 31, 2021 and future cessation of other tenures, including the one-month LIBOR, effectively ended the usefulness of LIBOR and its publication. On August 11, 2022, we amended our existing credit agreement, as described in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which provides for interest rate calculations based on the use of SOFR. The replacement of LIBOR with SOFR may result in interest payments that are higher than expected or that do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such indebtedness for the interest periods if the applicable LIBOR rate was available in its current form.

Commodity Volatility

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 third quarter of 2022. During periods of volatile commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass both price increases and decreases to our customers in the form of price adjustments. We are exposed to risks during periods of commodity volatility because there can be no assurance future cost increases or decreases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases or decreases will match raw material cost increases or decreases. We do not believe that commodity price volatility had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.


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 third quarter ended September 25, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Items 1, 3, 4 and 5 of Part II are not applicable and have been omitted.


ITEM 1A.			RISK FACTORS
