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 2022 results.

"We continued to execute on strategic priorities to deliver strong results in the second quarter, highlighted by robust revenue and EBITDA growth as we navigate a challenging operating environment. Our culture of innovation and operational excellence has supported our expansion in the Aftermarket, Marine, and RV OEM markets while assisting us to meet consumer demand for quality, technologically sophisticated products," commented Jason Lippert, LCI Industries' President and Chief Executive Officer.

"While RV inventories stabilize, we are confident in our ability to keep driving content and market share gains both within and outside RV OEM. The widespread availability of peer-to-peer rentals, along with increasing costs of airfare and hotel lodging, have made camping, boating, and RVing attractive options for vacationing. We believe our diverse portfolio has positioned us for long-term growth as we capture tailwinds related to the ongoing popularity of the outdoor lifestyle," Lippert continued. "I am proud of the hard work shown by our teams in driving our strong performance to help us generate further shareholder value."

"I also want to thank our team members for their commitment to delivering best-in-class products to our customers. Through these efforts, we continue to drive profitable growth while solidifying LCI's position as an industry leader in the range of markets we serve," commented Ryan Smith, Group President - North America.

Second Quarter 2022 Results

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.5 billion, an increase of 40 percent from 2021 second quarter net sales of $1.1 billion. Net income in the second quarter of 2022 was $154.5 million, or $6.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $67.9 million, or $2.67 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 was $250.7 million, compared to EBITDA of $120.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. Additional information regarding EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is 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 2022 was primarily driven by price realization, market share gains, acquisitions, and increased wholesale shipments. Net sales from acquisitions completed in the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 contributed approximately $81 million in the second quarter of 2022.

The Company's average product content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022, increased $1,761 to $5,382, compared to $3,621 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021. The content increase in towables was primarily a result of organic growth, including pricing and new product introductions, market share gains, and acquisitions.

July 2022 Results

July 2022 consolidated net sales were approximately $368.4 million, up 5 percent from July 2021, demonstrating positive trends as the Company moves into the second half 2022, a testament to diversification efforts which are helping to offset the deceleration experienced in North American RV production.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 27.3 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 25.0 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the cash surrender value of life insurance plus a discrete tax adjustment in the current year period for an acquisition-related tax election.

Balance Sheet and Other Items

At June 30, 2022, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $55.0 million, compared to $62.9 million at December 31, 2021. The Company used $70.8 million for capital expenditures, $51.8 million for acquisitions, and $49.6 million for dividend payments to shareholders in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company also made $107.1 million in net repayments under its revolving credit facility and $60.9 million in repayments under its shelf loan, term loan, and other borrowings in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company's outstanding long-term indebtedness, including current maturities, was $1.1 billion at June 30, 2022, and the Company remained in compliance with its debt covenants. The Company believes 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 measure of EBITDA to illustrate and improve comparability of its results from period to period. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, and amortization expense during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company considers this non-GAAP measure 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 measure is not in accordance with, nor is it a substitute for, GAAP measures, and it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
