LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII) which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. ("Lippert"), supplies a broad array of highly engineered components for the leading original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in the recreation and transportation product markets, and the related aftermarkets of those industries, today reported second quarter 2021 results.

“We delivered another incredible quarter, growing sales in the triple-digits while driving impressive content and market share gains. These strong results are enhanced by the success of our recent acquisitions, including Challenger, Veada, Trazcor, Schaudt, and Ranch Hand, enabling us to continue expanding our presence as a leading supplier in the outdoor recreation space across the globe,” commented Jason Lippert, LCI Industries’ President and Chief Executive Officer.

“There remains no end in sight for the current levels of retail demand as waves of consumers enter the outdoor lifestyle, and each of our businesses are strongly positioned to capture new growth opportunities through surging demand for both new and rental units,” continued Lippert. “Throughout the quarter, our teams have demonstrated remarkable agility in navigating through freight, labor, and supply chain-related headwinds impacting the entire industry, underscoring our commitment to operational excellence across our businesses as we focus on managing significant cost inflation and related pricing adjustments to maintain profitability. I could not be more pleased with our performance and continued growth trajectory and would like to again thank the entire LCI team for their hard work as we keep up this momentum in driving value for our shareholders.”

"I also want to thank our team members for their dedication and tireless effort during this period of record demand. Due to the strength of both our teams and our culture, we have been able to cement our position as an industry leader while ensuring that our customers meet their commitments," commented Ryan Smith, Group President - North America.

Second Quarter 2021 Results

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2021 were $1.1 billion, an increase of 108 percent from 2020 second quarter net sales of $525.8 million. Net income in the second quarter of 2021 was $67.9 million, or $2.67 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2021 was $121.3 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $45.6 million in the second quarter of 2020. Additional information regarding adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, are provided in the "Supplementary Information - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" section below.

The increase in year-over-year net sales for the second quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by record RV retail demand and strong Aftermarket sales growth. Net sales from acquisitions completed in 2020 and 2021 contributed approximately $54 million in the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, pandemic-related shutdowns in the second quarter of 2020 had a negative impact on sales in that quarter.

The Company's average product content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV, adjusted to remove Furrion sales from prior periods, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, increased $250 to $3,621, compared to $3,371 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020. The content increase in towables was a result of organic growth, including new product introductions.

July 2021 Results

July 2021 consolidated net sales were approximately $355 million, up 25 percent from July 2020, as production increased significantly to meet elevated RV and marine retail demand.

Balance Sheet and Other Items

At June 30, 2021, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $98.0 million, up from $51.8 million at December 31, 2020. The Company generated net cash flows from operations of $23.9 million and used $103.9 million for acquisitions, $41.7 million for dividend payments to shareholders, and $42.0 million for capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cash flows from operations were partially offset by strategic investments in working capital to support record demand and mitigate future supply chain disruptions.

On May 13, 2021, the Company closed the sale of $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.125% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "Convertible Notes") in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $448.2 million after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company. Concurrent with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions. The proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes were used to enter into the convertible note hedge transactions for $100.1 million (which was partially offset by the proceeds from the warrant transactions of $48.5 million), to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes.

The Company's outstanding long-term indebtedness, including current maturities, was $1.0 billion at June 30, 2021, and the Company remained in compliance with its debt covenants. The Company believes that its current liquidity is adequate to meet operating needs for the foreseeable future.

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has provided the non-GAAP performance measures of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per common share, and adjusted EBITDA to illustrate and improve comparability of its results from period to period. Adjusted net income is defined as net income adjusted for items that impact the comparability of the Company's results from period to period, which consisted of the inventory fair value step-up from the acquisitions of Ranch Hand and CURT and related tax impacts during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Adjusted diluted net income per common share is defined as net income per common share adjusted for items that impact the comparability of the Company's results from period to period, which consisted of the inventory fair value step-up from the acquisitions of Ranch Hand and CURT and related tax impacts during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and other adjustments made in order to present comparable results from period to period, which consisted of the inventory fair value step-up from the acquisitions of Ranch Hand and CURT during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company considers these non-GAAP measures in evaluating and managing the Company's operations and believes that discussion of results adjusted for these items is meaningful to investors because it provides a useful analysis of ongoing underlying operating trends. The adjusted measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
