LCI Industries LCII which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. ("LCI"), 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 2020 results.

"Our teams showed tremendous execution during the second quarter. Amidst a very difficult operating environment, we captured accelerated demand for RV and marine products, as well as strength in the aftermarket. In a span of less than two months, we were able to go from a near total shutdown in April to a record sales month in June. This could not have happened without the focus and speed to react by our leaders and team members. Despite top-line impact caused by production shutdowns in response to the COVID pandemic, we made substantial progress on driving operational efficiencies in an effort to mitigate any long-term impact to the business as a result of the pandemic, highlighting the effectiveness of the cost management initiatives we put into place at the beginning of the quarter," commented Jason Lippert, LCI Industries' President and Chief Executive Officer.

"We expect heightened RV demand to continue, signaling a paradigm shift for the industry as consumers are increasingly drawn into the RV lifestyle as a safe way to spend time with family in the outdoors. As a leader in innovation, LCI has a significant opportunity to further enhance its competitive position in the space," Lippert continued. "Looking to the second half of 2020, we remain focused on executing on our diversification strategy, while at the same time, preparing to meet elevated RV demand. We stand committed to driving innovation across the business to further create value for our shareholders. In addition, I would like to thank our entire team, and in particular our operations and manufacturing groups, for juggling the demands of an extremely volatile operating environment. To deliver strong results amidst these challenges was an amazing accomplishment, and a testament to the capabilities of LCI's robust leadership."

Second Quarter 2020 Results

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2020 were $525.8 million, a decrease of 16 percent from 2019 second quarter net sales of $629.1 million. Net income in the second quarter of 2020 was $13.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to net income of $47.5 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2020 was $13.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020 was $45.6 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $84.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. Additional information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per common share, and adjusted EBITDA, as well as reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, are provided in the "Supplementary Information - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" section below.

The decrease in year-over-year net sales for the second quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by the impact of customer shutdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by acquisitions and organic growth across the Company's aftermarket segment and international markets. Net sales from acquisitions completed by the Company contributed $103 million in the second quarter of 2020.

The Company's content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV, adjusted to remove Furrion sales from prior periods, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, increased $141 to $3,371, compared to $3,230 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2019. The content increase in towables was a result of organic growth, including new product introductions, partially offset by price reductions.

July 2020 Results

July 2020 consolidated net sales were approximately $280 million, up 53 percent from July 2019 as the significant increase in RV production continued into July with many manufacturers electing to produce during the typical holiday shutdown.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 22.8 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to 25.2 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rate was lower primarily due to an increase in discrete benefits.

Balance Sheet and Other Items

At June 30, 2020, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $62.3 million, up from the balance of $35.4 million at the beginning of the year. The Company generated cash flows from operations of $102.1 million and used $94.7 million for acquisitions, $32.7 million for dividend payments to shareholders, and $14.5 million in capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company's outstanding long-term indebtedness, including current maturities, was $702.1 million at June 30, 2020, 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 acquisition of CURT and related tax impacts during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020. 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 acquisition of CURT and related tax impacts during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, 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 acquisition of CURT during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020. 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.
