DREW INDUSTRIES REPORTS 2014 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS
The Company achieved record sales during 2014
Elkhart, Indiana - February 24, 2015 - Drew Industries Incorporated (NYSE: DW), a leading supplier of components for recreational vehicles (RVs) and manufactured homes, today reported net income of $12.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to net income of $11.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Consolidated net sales in the fourth quarter of 2014 increased to a fourth quarter record of $289 million, 29 percent higher than the 2013 fourth quarter. This growth in net sales primarily resulted from a 32 percent increase in net sales of Drew’s RV Segment, which accounted for 91 percent of consolidated net sales in the 2014 fourth quarter. RV Segment sales growth was largely due to a 20 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, Drew’s primary RV market. The four acquisitions completed by the Company in 2014 also added $15 million in net sales in the fourth quarter of 2014, all of which related to Drew’s RV Segment. Further, the Company increased sales to adjacent industries and the aftermarket.
The Company’s content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, increased by $109, or 4 percent, to $2,825, compared to content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV for the prior twelve-month period of $2,716. Content per motorhome RV reached $1,544 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, and $1,828 in the 2014 fourth quarter, reflecting market share gains through organic growth and acquisitions completed in 2014.
“Our net sales in 2014 were strong, demonstrating the effectiveness of our long-term strategy,” said Jason Lippert, Drew’s Chief Executive Officer. “In 2014, the RV industry experienced a solid year as the RV lifestyle continued to gain in popularity, consumer confidence improved, and retail demand for RVs in 2014 grew 8 percent from 2013. In particular, retail demand for RVs in the fourth quarter of 2014 accelerated, increasing 15 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. In response to the increase in retail demand for 2014, manufacturers produced more RVs in 2014 than any year since 2006.”
In January 2015, Drew’s consolidated net sales reached $115 million, 41 percent higher than January 2014, a record for the month of January. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the Company’s consolidated net sales for January 2015 were up 34 percent. In January 2014, severe winter weather conditions had a negative impact on industry-wide production of RVs, as well as on shipments of the Company’s products, which did not recur to the same magnitude in January 2015.
“The strong RV industry fundamentals, aided by demographic tailwinds, are positive signs for 2015,” said Jason Lippert. “Retail RV shows for the first part of 2015 have been strong, with reports of higher traffic and increased sales activity, and industry analysts continue to report that dealer inventory is in line with anticipated retail demand. Our RV OEM customers believe there is additional retail growth coming in 2015 and after, and are adding significant capacity to meet the anticipated demand. We believe we are well positioned to meet the increased demands expected for 2015 and the beginning of 2016. Further, as a result of the heavy investments in capital expenditures, facility
1 of 10
start-ups and personnel we made in 2014, we believe our level of investment will be at a lower rate in the next eighteen months than what we experienced in 2014.”
“As anticipated, our operating profit margins in the fourth quarter of 2014 were impacted by facility start-up and realignment costs,” said Scott Mereness, Drew’s President. “During the fourth quarter of 2014, we completed several substantial investments in capacity expansion which helped solidify our foundation and should help us maintain our position as a leading supplier to the industries we serve. The costs incurred with these investments lowered our net income per diluted share by $0.02 for the fourth quarter of 2014. We expect these investments, along with the personnel added, to improve our operating efficiencies in 2015 and 2016, which should result in improvements in customer service and operating profit margins.”
“Our 2014 fourth quarter operating results were also impacted by increases in raw material costs, in particular aluminum, as well as higher health insurance and other costs,” continued Mereness. “Collectively, higher raw material and health insurance costs in the fourth quarter of 2014 had a negative impact on net income per diluted share of $0.10, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in health insurance costs is primarily due to the increase in enrollment over the past year, which we believe is largely due to the new healthcare requirements. We expect health insurance costs in 2015 to remain - as a percent of sales - in line with 2014.”
“Raw material costs continue to remain volatile, which has become the norm,” added Mereness. “In particular, aluminum rose nearly 20 percent during the second half of 2014, and despite a decline in recent months, remains higher than the beginning of 2014. To help mitigate the impact of higher raw material, health insurance and other costs, we are improving product designs, making efficiency improvements and working with our vendors to identify opportunities to reduce input costs. Further, we implemented sales price increases, which should largely be in place by the end of the first quarter of 2015. We will continue to implement sales price adjustments as the costs of raw materials change.”
2014 Full-Year Results
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased by $175 million, or 17 percent, to a record $1.19 billion, primarily due to the 20 percent increase in net sales of Drew’s RV Segment. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, Drew’s RV Segment net sales increased 16 percent, compared to the 12 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs. The four acquisitions completed by the Company in 2014 added $36 million in net sales in 2014, all of which related to Drew’s RV Segment. Sales growth in new and existing markets and new products also continued to be key factors in enabling Drew’s sales to exceed RV industry growth rates.
In 2014, Drew continued to grow outside its core RV and manufactured housing markets, with aggregate net sales of components for adjacent industries increasing 14 percent to $138 million and aftermarket net sales increasing 63 percent to $64 million. Together, these markets now account for 17 percent of consolidated net sales, an increase from 10 percent of consolidated net sales in 2010.
“Seeing our sales for the full-year 2014 grow by $175 million was another significant accomplishment for the Company, particularly following the $1 billion sales milestone achieved in 2013,” said Jason Lippert. “As we look towards future sales growth, we see many opportunities, starting with the RV industry, which, according to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), is projected to increase wholesale production in 2015. Further, we expect to grow faster than the RV industry by increasing our content per unit, as we have done consistently for the past twelve-plus years. We also positioned ourselves for growth in adjacent industries, the aftermarket and the international RV market. We estimate there are opportunities collectively, in all the industries we serve for our existing products, which currently could generate additional sales for us in excess of $2 billion annually. While it will take time to gain market share in all the industries we serve, we are confident our focus on customer service, new product development, product enhancement, product quality and lean manufacturing will enable us to continue to compete effectively, and achieve long-term profitable growth.”

For the full-year 2014, Drew’s net income increased to $62.3 million, or $2.56 per diluted share, up from net income of $50.1 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, in 2013. Excluding the loss related to the sale of the Company’s aluminum extrusion-related assets in 2014 and charges for executive succession in 2013, net income would have been $63.5 million in 2014, or $2.61 per diluted share, up from net income of $51.3 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, in 2013. Net income in 2014 was also impacted by facility start-up and realignment costs, which reduced net income per diluted share by approximately $0.09.
“During the last twelve months we completed five acquisitions, which add approximately $85 million of acquired annual sales, and represent significant sales growth and profit potential,” said Joseph Giordano, Drew’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. “We also invested in several product line capacity expansions, key among them were our new furniture and mattress facility and our new aftermarket distribution facility. As a result of the investments made throughout 2014, we are confident in our ability to improve operating efficiencies, customer service and product quality in 2015 and beyond.”
The five operations acquired by Drew during 2014 and early 2015 were:
• | Innovative Design Solutions (IDS) - A designer, developer and manufacturer of electronic systems encompassing a wide variety of RV, automotive, medical and industrial applications, with annual sales of $19 million, of which $15 million were to Drew; |
• | Star Design - A manufacturer of thermoformed sheet plastic products for the RV, bus and specialty vehicle industries, with annual sales of $10 million; |
• | Power Gear® and Kwikee® brands (RV business of Actuant Corporation) - A manufacturer of leveling systems, slide-out mechanisms and steps, primarily for motorhome RVs, with annual sales of $28 million; |
• | Duncan Systems - A supplier of replacement motorhome windshields, awnings, and RV, heavy truck, and specialty vehicle glass and windows, primarily to fulfill insurance claims, with annual sales of $26 million; and |
• | EA Technologies - A manufacturer of custom steel and aluminum parts and provider of electro-deposition (‘e-coat’) and powder coating services for RV, bus, medium-duty truck, automotive, recreational marine, specialty and utility trailer, and military applications, with annual sales of $17 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Company also acquired a 250,000 square foot facility, which provides room for capacity expansion. |
“These acquisitions, as well as our capacity expansion projects, fit right into our strategic plan to utilize our extensive financial and human resources, along with our manufacturing and distribution capabilities and our commitment to customer service, to grow profitably within the RV industry and in similar markets,” said Jason Lippert. “We made significant progress in the integration of the acquired businesses and the completion of our other key projects in 2014. Over the next few quarters we will continue our efforts to improve each of these existing operations, as well as achieve profitable growth.”
“Our operating management team was further strengthened this year with the addition of a number of experienced and highly-capable people we gained through our acquisitions,” said Mereness. “Dedicated people have always been a key to our success.”
Balance Sheet and Other Items
At December 31, 2014, the Company had borrowings of $16 million, compared to cash of $66 million at December 31, 2013. “During 2014 we invested $107 million in acquisitions and $42 million in capital expenditures, and returned $47 million to stockholders through a special dividend of $2.00 per share,” said Joseph Giordano. “These investments were partially funded by our operating cash flow of $107 million in 2014.”
“During the first quarter of 2015, we expect to use $20 million to $30 million of cash to fund seasonal working capital growth, which is typical,” added Giordano. “With minimal debt, substantial available credit lines and solid cash flow, we remain well-positioned to continue taking advantage of investment opportunities to improve our results.”
3 of 10
During 2014, inventories increased $31 million, or 31 percent, including $9 million related to the 2014 acquisitions, primarily to support the 41 percent increase in net sales in January 2015. Higher raw material costs and increased lead time on imports also contributed to the increase in inventory.
Capital expenditures were $42 million in 2014, and included approximately $20 million of “replacement” capital expenditures and approximately $22 million of “growth” capital expenditures. “The growth capital expenditures were comprised of numerous projects, including our new furniture and mattress facility and our new aftermarket and customer service facility, as well as our laminated door and chassis product line capacity expansions,” said Giordano. “Collectively, these projects comprised $14 million of our growth capital expenditures.”
The effective tax rate for 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2014 were lower than in the comparable prior year periods, primarily as a result of higher federal tax credits.
Return on equity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 improved to 17.5 percent, from 16.0 percent in the year-earlier period.
Jason Lippert concluded, “Overall, the past year was good for both our Company and the industries we serve. We reported solid sales and earnings growth, and we invested in acquisitions, additional capacity, customer service, adjacent industries, the aftermarket, and research and development of various new products and product improvements, as well as increased operating efficiencies through employee retention, lean initiatives and automation, to help build the foundation for continued growth along with our customers. I am confident that our management team has the ability to execute our strategic goals successfully for the long-term growth of the Company.”
