Business Segments and Markets
LCI Industries reports two primary reportable segments: the OEM Segment and the Aftermarket Segment. This structure is consistent between the Polygon description and the company’s own earnings releases.
- OEM Segment: The Polygon description states that this segment manufactures or distributes components for OEMs of recreational vehicles and adjacent industries. These adjacent industries include buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment, and other cargo; trucks; pontoon boats; trains; manufactured homes; and modular housing. Earnings releases further break out OEM net sales between RV OEMs (travel trailers, fifth-wheels, and motorhomes) and adjacent industries OEMs.
- Aftermarket Segment: The Aftermarket Segment focuses on products sold after the original sale of a vehicle or unit. Company earnings releases describe this segment as serving the RV and automotive aftermarket, with demand influenced by units entering the upgrade and repair cycle. Management commentary notes that product innovations and relationships within the RV aftermarket, such as the Camping World relationship, have contributed to growth in this segment.
Recreation and Transportation Focus
Across multiple press releases, LCI Industries characterizes itself as a supplier of engineered components to the recreation and transportation markets, with a particular emphasis on outdoor recreation. The Polygon description specifies that its products are sold to manufacturers of recreational vehicles and to manufacturers in adjacent transportation and housing-related industries. The company’s disclosures highlight RV OEMs, utility trailer and marine OEMs, and various transportation-related applications as important end markets.
LCI Industries’ OEM net sales are reported across RV OEMs, including travel trailers, fifth-wheels, and motorhomes, and adjacent industries OEMs. The company’s earnings releases attribute changes in OEM net sales to factors such as market share gains, changes in product mix toward higher content fifth-wheel units, and sales from acquired businesses.
OEM and Aftermarket Customer Base
The Polygon description notes that LCI Industries’ products are sold to manufacturers of RVs such as Thor Industries, Forest River, Winnebago, and other RV OEMs, as well as to manufacturers in adjacent industries. Company press releases repeatedly emphasize that Lippert serves both OEM and aftermarket customers and that its engineered components are used in outdoor recreation and transportation applications.
In the aftermarket, LCI Industries’ disclosures indicate that demand is influenced by product innovations, the upgrade and repair cycle of RV units, and relationships with distribution partners in the RV aftermarket. The company’s commentary links aftermarket performance to the adoption of product innovations and to the expanding relationship with Camping World in the RV aftermarket.
Acquisitions and Product Expansion
LCI Industries’ public communications describe acquisitions as part of its approach to expanding its product offerings within its core markets.
