Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Patrick Industries, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 results with net sales of $997 million, essentially flat versus $1,003 million a year earlier. Net income rose 3% to $39.5 million, while diluted EPS was $1.10 compared to $1.11, reflecting higher dilution from convertible notes and warrants.
Outdoor Enthusiast revenue grew modestly as Marine sales increased 14% and Powersports 28%, offset by a 7% decline in RV and a 6% decline in Housing. Content per unit continued to climb, especially in Marine and RV, supporting margins; operating margin held steady at 6.5% and adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.4%.
Operating cash flow was a use of $14 million versus $40 million provided in the prior year period, largely due to higher working capital and inventory investment. The Company returned $31 million to shareholders and ended the quarter with about $734 million of liquidity and a net leverage ratio of 2.8x. Patrick also confirmed ongoing discussions with LCI Industries about a potential merger of equals, while emphasizing there is no assurance that a transaction will occur.

Insights
Results were broadly stable, with strong niche growth offset by weaker RV and Housing, plus early-stage merger discussions.
Patrick Industries delivered largely unchanged top-line and margin performance in the first quarter of 2026. Net sales were $997 million with operating margin at 6.5%, while net income rose slightly to $39.5 million as tax expense declined.
Mix and content trends are important. RV and Housing revenue fell, but Marine grew 14% and Powersports 28%. Content per unit rose 8% in RV and 17% in Marine on a trailing twelve-month basis, suggesting deeper penetration at OEM customers even as industry unit shipments declined.
Cash generation softened: operating activities used $14 million versus $40 million provided a year earlier, and trailing twelve-month free cash flow declined from $251 million to $194 million. Leverage remains manageable with a net leverage ratio of 2.8x and liquidity of $734 million. The disclosed merger-of-equals discussions with LCI Industries, announced on April 17, 2026, are noteworthy but preliminary, with no terms or certainty of completion provided.

5 terms
adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA1 was $113 million compared to $116 million."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow1, on a trailing twelve-month basis, was $194 million."
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
content per unit financial
"Patrick's RV content per unit (on a trailing 12-month basis) increased 8%."
net leverage ratio financial
"Total net leverage ratio was 2.8x (as calculated in accordance with the Company's credit agreement)."
The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.
trailing twelve-month basis financial
"Estimated content per wholesale powerboat unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) increased 17%."
A trailing twelve-month basis measures a company's performance by adding together the actual results from the most recent four quarters to show how it did over the past year. Investors use it like looking at the last 12 months of pay stubs instead of a single month or old annual report, which helps reveal recent trends, smooth out seasonal ups and downs, and make more current comparisons across companies.

News Release
Patrick Industries, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
ELKHART, IN, April 30, 2026 – Patrick Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: PATK) ("Patrick" or the "Company"), a leading component solutions provider for the Outdoor Enthusiast and Housing markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2026.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights (compared to First Quarter 2025 unless otherwise noted)
•Net sales were $997 million compared to $1,003 million. Marine revenue growth of 14% and Powersports revenue growth of 28% were offset by lower revenue in the Company's RV and Housing markets, primarily reflecting lower wholesale industry unit shipments.
•Patrick's RV content per unit (on a trailing 12-month basis) increased 8%, while estimated Marine content per unit (on a trailing 12-month basis) grew 17%.
•Operating income was $65 million compared to $66 million. Operating margin was 6.5%, flat compared to the prior year period.
•Net income increased 3% to $39 million. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.10 compared to $1.11 in the prior year period. EPS includes the dilutive impact of convertible notes and related warrants of approximately $0.10 per share, compared to $0.05 in the prior year period.
•Adjusted EBITDA1 was $113 million compared to $116 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 was 11.4% compared to 11.5%.
•Cash flow used in operating activities was $14 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $40 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow1, on a trailing twelve-month basis, was $194 million.
•Returned $31 million to shareholders in the first quarter of 2026, including $16 million through regular quarterly dividends and $15 million through share repurchases. During the second quarter through April 29, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 153,100 shares for approximately $15 million.
•Total net liquidity was $734 million at the end of the first quarter; total net leverage ratio was 2.8x.
•On April 17, 2026, the Company confirmed that it is in discussions with LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII) regarding a potential merger of equals transaction. The Company provided no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions nor provided any terms for a possible transaction. No further updates are available at this time.
“I want to thank our team members for their dedication and commitment, as they continued to execute with focus to deliver resilient performance and demonstrate the strength and adaptability of our diversified business model in a challenging and uncertain macroeconomic environment,” said Andy Nemeth, Chief Executive Officer. “Content gains were strong as a result of our team’s tremendous focus on innovation and product solutions, and helped to offset shipment declines in our RV, Marine, and Manufactured Housing markets. The demand environment in the first quarter was influenced by macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds and dealer ordering discipline. Against this backdrop, our team's ability to pivot quickly, combined with our customer-focused approach, enabled us to outperform in our Outdoor Enthusiast end markets.”
Net sales were $997 million compared to $1,003 million in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue from the Company's Outdoor Enthusiast end markets, which include RV, Marine and Powersports, increased 2%, which was offset by a 6% decrease in revenue from its Housing end market. Content per wholesale RV unit (on a trailing 12-month basis) increased 8%, partially offsetting a 12% reduction in wholesale RV industry unit shipments, while estimated content per wholesale powerboat unit (on a trailing 12-month basis) increased 17%, which more than offset an estimated 7% decline in wholesale industry unit shipments.
1
Operating income was $65 million compared to $66 million in the first quarter of 2025. Operating margin of 6.5% was unchanged versus the same period a year ago.
Net income increased 3% to $39 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, compared to $38 million, or $1.11 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025. EPS in the first quarter of 2026 includes approximately $0.10 of dilution from the Company's convertible notes and related warrants compared to $0.05 in the prior year period.
Jeff Rodino, President, said, "RV OEM adoption of our composite solutions continues to gain traction as we expand our capabilities and product lineup to meet evolving customer needs. On the Marine side, the growth in content per unit reflects our strong performance in the last model-year changeover and the impact of recent marine-related acquisitions. Additionally, attachment rates within our Powersports business have continued to grow, as OEMs have increasingly adopted the Sportech cab enclosures. Across our businesses, we remain committed to delivering the value-added products, services, and solutions our customers expect.”

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
For the first three months of 2026, cash used in operating activities was $14 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $40 million for the prior year period, primarily due to a larger increase in working capital investment compared to the first quarter of 2025, largely reflecting a deliberate effort to increase inventory in alignment with the Company's composite products growth strategy. Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $19 million in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting continued investment in automation and facility enhancements, which support the Company's ongoing innovation initiatives. On a trailing twelve-month basis, free cash flow1 through the first quarter of 2026 was $194 million compared to $251 million in the prior year period.

Patrick returned $31 million to shareholders during the first three months of 2026, including $16 million through dividends and $15 million for the repurchase of approximately 127,700 shares of the Company's common stock. At the end of the first quarter, the Company had unused capacity of $153 million under its current share repurchase plan. During the second quarter through April 29, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 153,100 shares for a total of approximately $15 million.
Total debt at the end of the first quarter was approximately $1.4 billion, resulting in a total net leverage ratio of 2.8x (as calculated in accordance with the Company's credit agreement). Available liquidity, comprised of borrowing availability under the Company's credit facility and cash on hand, was approximately $734 million.
Business Outlook and Summary
“As we continue to navigate the dynamic demand environment in 2026, our team remains focused and our strategic direction is clear," continued Mr. Nemeth. "We are confident in our ability to execute on the strategic priorities we have outlined, including investing in and developing our aftermarket platform, driving organic growth, composite product innovation and adoption, execution of our disciplined M&A strategy, and the deployment of capital to support long-term value creation for our customers, employees and shareholders. Supported by our consistent cash flow and strong balance sheet, we remain engaged with our robust pipeline of acquisition candidates, focused on partnering with businesses that enhance our product portfolio, committed to deepening customer relationships, and aligned with our growth objectives. Additionally, we are making prudent organic investments in technology and advanced manufacturing capabilities, including AI-driven tools that are enhancing the visibility and efficiency of our decentralized business structure. We believe that reinvestment throughout the cycle is critical to maintaining our operational resilience and strong market position, while enhancing our ability to drive long-term profitable growth.”

Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also provides financial metrics, such as net leverage ratio, content per unit, free cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share ("adjusted diluted EPS"), adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and available liquidity, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to U.S. GAAP. Our computations of net leverage ratio, content per unit, free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and available liquidity may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Content per unit metrics are generally calculated using our market sales divided by Company estimates based on third-party measures of industry volume. We calculate EBITDA by adding back depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, and income taxes to net income. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by taking EBITDA and adding back stock-based compensation, loss on sale of property, plant and equipment, acquisition related transaction costs, acquisition related fair-value inventory step-up adjustments and subtracting out the gain on sale of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted net income is calculated by removing the impact of acquisition related transaction costs, net of tax, and acquisition related fair-value inventory step-up adjustments, net of tax. Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by our weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted operating margin is calculated by removing the impact of acquisition related transaction costs and acquisition related fair-value inventory step-up adjustments. We calculate free cash flow by subtracting cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment from net cash provided by operating activities.
