LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII) which, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. ("Lippert"), supplies,
domestically and internationally, a broad array of highly
engineered components for the leading original equipment
manufacturers ("OEMs") in the recreation and transportation
markets, and the related aftermarkets of those industries, today
reported second quarter 2024 results.
“We delivered strong second quarter results, with revenue growth
in towable RV OEM, Aftermarket, and certain Adjacent OEM businesses
while achieving over 300 basis points of operating profit margin
expansion compared to the second quarter of 2023,” commented Jason
Lippert, LCI Industries’ President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our strategy has been working. Diversification continues to help
mitigate market cyclicality and support margins, while innovation
is fueling content growth. Continued expansion into new product
markets is also broadening our reach, which has opened up over $12
billion in combined addressable opportunities across our business.
As a result, we continue to deliver strong results in a challenging
backdrop and are well-placed to benefit meaningfully when the RV
market rebounds and retail demand improves.”
“We are generating substantial cash flows through disciplined
working capital management, having notably reduced inventories by
$142 million in the past year, as well as by taking action to
optimize and enhance our manufacturing footprint. Efforts to
increase efficiencies, driving operational effectiveness through
continuous improvements, are also helping to lift profitability. As
our results reinforce our financial foundation, we plan to continue
paying down debt and investing in growth opportunities for our
business,” continued Mr. Lippert. “Heading further into the year,
we will keep executing our strategy and drive sustained value
creation for our stakeholders.”
“Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team members, we
showed solid performance in the second quarter while navigating a
challenging environment. Through a consistent focus on our key
strategic pillars, including customer service, safety, quality,
culture and leadership, and innovation, we are delivering
profitable growth while solidifying our leading position across the
recreation space,” commented Ryan Smith, LCI Industries' Group
President - North America.
Second Quarter 2024 Results
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $1.1
billion, an increase of 4% from 2023 second quarter net sales of
$1.0 billion. Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was $61.2
million, or $2.40 per diluted share, compared to $33.4 million, or
$1.31 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023. EBITDA in
the second quarter of 2024 was $122.6 million, compared to EBITDA
of $88.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. Additional
information regarding EBITDA, as well as reconciliations of this
non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure of net income, is provided in the "Supplementary
Information - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" section
below.
The increase in year-over-year net sales for the second quarter
of 2024 was primarily driven by increased North American RV
wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheels and market
share gains in the automotive aftermarket, partially offset by
lower North American marine sales volume.
July 2024 Results
July 2024 consolidated net sales were approximately $311
million, up 6% from July 2023, primarily due to an approximate 15%
increase in North American RV production, partially offset by an
approximate 16% decline in marine sales compared to July 2023.
OEM Segment - Second Quarter Performance
OEM net sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $796.1
million, an increase of $37.1 million compared to the same period
of 2023. RV OEM net sales for the second quarter of 2024 were
$490.0 million, up 20% compared to the same prior year period,
driven by a 15% increase in North American travel trailer and
fifth-wheel wholesale shipments, increased selling prices which are
indexed to select commodities, and market share gains. Adjacent
Industries OEM net sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $306.2
million, down 12% year-over-year, primarily due to lower sales to
North American marine and utility trailers OEMs, driven by current
dealer inventory levels, inflation, and rising interest rates
impacting retail consumers. North American marine OEM net sales in
the second quarter of 2024 were $64.2 million, down 33%
year-over-year.
Operating profit of the OEM Segment was $50.6 million in the
second quarter of 2024, or 6.4% of net sales, compared to $18.6
million, or 2.5% of net sales, in the same period in 2023. The
operating profit expansion of the OEM Segment for the quarter was
primarily driven by decreased material and freight costs.
Aftermarket Segment - Second Quarter Performance
Aftermarket net sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $258.4
million, up 1% year-over-year, primarily driven by market share
gains in the automotive aftermarket, partially offset by lower
volumes within marine and RV aftermarkets, which have been
negatively impacted by lower consumers' discretionary spending.
Operating profit of the Aftermarket Segment was $40.0 million in
the second quarter of 2024, or 15.5% of net sales, compared to
$36.5 million, or 14.3% of net sales, in the same period in 2023.
The operating profit expansion of the Aftermarket Segment for the
quarter was primarily driven by decreased material and freight
costs, partially offset by increased labor costs and investments to
expand capacity within the automotive aftermarket.
“Our Aftermarket business remains healthy, as we delivered
another quarter of solid margin expansion, continuing to support
overall profitability for Lippert. Strength in the automotive
aftermarket was a primary driver during the quarter, along with the
structural tailwind from the record number of RVs entering the
repair, replacement, and upgrade cycle,” commented Jamie Schnur,
LCI Industries’ Group President – Aftermarket. “We look forward to
continue delivering long-term, profitable growth as we leverage our
core competencies and seek to gain share in premium markets like
appliances, transportation, and building products.”
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate was 26.0% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2024, compared to 25.6% for the quarter ended June 30,
2023. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a
discrete tax expense related to the surrender of certain
company-owned life insurance policies.
Balance Sheet and Other Items
At June 30, 2024, the Company's cash and cash equivalents
balance was $130.4 million, compared to $66.2 million at December
31, 2023. The Company used $53.5 million for dividend payments to
shareholders, $21.3 million for capital expenditures, and $20.0
million for an acquisition in the six months ended June 30,
2024.
The Company remained focused on inventory reductions to improve
cash generation and optimize working capital in the second quarter.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company's net inventory balance was $687.9
million, down from $768.4 million at December 31, 2023 and $830.0
million at June 30, 2023.
The Company's outstanding long-term indebtedness, including
current maturities, was $829.7 million at June 30, 2024, and the
Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. As of June 30,
2024, the Company had $130.4 million of cash and cash equivalents,
and the Company had $373.1 million of borrowing availability under

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, the Company has provided the non-GAAP performance
measure of EBITDA to illustrate and improve comparability of its
results from period to period. EBITDA is defined as net income
before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes,
depreciation expense, and amortization expense during the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company
considers this non-GAAP measure 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 measure is not in accordance with, nor is it a substitute for,
GAAP measures, and it may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies.
