Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial Results

 

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased $43.0 million or 29.3%, to $189.6 million from $146.6 million in the same quarter of 2013. Revenue from the RV industry, which represented 74% of the Company’s fourth quarter 2014 sales, increased 36%. According to industry sources, RV industry wholesale unit shipments increased approximately 18% in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Revenue from the MH industry, which represented 16% of the Company’s fourth quarter 2014 sales, increased 24%. According to industry sources, MH industry wholesale unit shipments rose approximately 8% from the fourth quarter of 2013. The industrial market sector, which is primarily tied to the residential housing and commercial and retail fixtures markets, accounted for 10% of the Company’s fourth quarter 2014 sales. According to industry sources, new housing starts in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year increased approximately 6%.

 

The Company estimates its organic growth in the fourth quarter of 2014 at approximately 13%, or $19.7 million, of its total revenue increase. The remaining $23.3 million of the revenue increase in the fourth quarter of 2014 reflects the contribution of the four acquisitions completed in 2014: Charleston Corporation (“Charleston”) in November 2014; Precision Painting, Inc., Carrera Custom Painting, Inc., Millennium Paint, Inc., and TDM Transport, Inc. (collectively, “Precision”) in June 2014; Foremost Fabricators, LLC in June 2014; and PolyDyn3 LLC in September 2014. In addition, as recently announced, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Better Way Partners, LLC d/b/a Better Way Products (“Better Way”) in February 2015.

 

Patrick reported operating income of $11.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of $3.1 million or 35.4%, from the $8.6 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2013. Fourth quarter 2014 net income was $7.3 million or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.0 million or $0.47 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Full Year 2014 Financial Results

 

Net sales for the twelve months of 2014 increased $140.8 million or 23.7%, to $735.7 million from $594.9 million in 2013. Revenue from the RV industry, which represented 74% of 2014 sales, increased by 27% compared to the prior year as RV wholesale unit shipments increased by approximately 11%. Revenue from the MH industry, which represented 15% of 2014 sales, rose 13% compared to the prior year as MH wholesale unit shipments increased by approximately 7%. Revenue from the industrial markets, which accounted for 11% of 2014 sales, increased 16% compared to the prior year and benefited primarily from improved residential cabinet and office, medical, and institutional furnishings sales. New housing starts increased by approximately 9% for 2014 compared to the prior year. The Company estimates that approximately 56% of its industrial market sales are tied to the residential housing sector and its sales to the industrial markets generally lag new housing starts by approximately six to nine months.

  

 
 

 

 

The Company estimates its organic growth in 2014 at approximately 11%, or $62.8 million, of its total revenue increase. The remaining $78.0 million of the revenue increase in the twelve months of 2014 reflects the contribution of the 2014 acquisitions as well as the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2013.

 

The Company’s RV content per unit for the full year 2014 increased approximately 15% to $1,536 from $1,338 in 2013. The MH content per unit for 2014 increased approximately 7% to $1,692 from $1,582 in 2013.

 

For the full year 2014, Patrick reported operating income of $51.5 million, an increase of $10.5 million or 25.7%, from the $41.0 million reported in the prior year. Twelve months 2014 net income was $30.7 million or $2.87 per diluted share, compared to net income of $24.0 million or $2.23 per diluted share in 2013.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company repurchased 172,021 shares of its common stock at an average price of $40.69 per share for a total cost of approximately $7.0 million. In the twelve months of 2014, the Company repurchased 344,750 shares at an average price of $40.40 per share for a total cost of approximately $13.9 million. In addition, in the first quarter of 2015 through February 16, 2015, the Company repurchased 130,500 shares at an average price of $43.29 per share for a total cost of approximately $5.7 million.

On February 17, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in the amount of the Company’s common stock that may be acquired under the stock buyback program over the next 12 months to $20.0 million.

 

Patrick’s total assets increased $81.4 million to $255.6 million at December 31, 2014, from $174.2 million at December 31, 2013, primarily reflecting overall growth and the addition of acquisition-related assets. Total debt outstanding at December 31, 2014, increased $46.1 million to $101.1 million from $55.0 million at December 31, 2013, reflecting the funding of acquisitions, stock repurchases, and capital expenditures, net of debt reduction.

 

Todd Cleveland, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our fourth quarter and full year 2014 revenue and profitability growth, coupled with the benefits realized from the achievement of our strategic and operational initiatives executed in 2013 and 2014 and the growth experienced in all three of the end markets we serve, resulted in a strong fiscal 2014 for Patrick Industries. Our team’s focus on driving ourselves to exceed customer expectations, as well as on product development and the acquisition of related businesses and products, provided us with the opportunities to continue to better serve our customer base. Additionally, our dedication to our ‘Customer First’ performance-oriented culture, leadership development initiatives, and talent management processes, has been instrumental in delivering value-enhancing results for all of our key stakeholders.”
