ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “Patrick,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Patrick Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Company Overview
Patrick is a major manufacturer and distributor of component and building products and materials serving original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) primarily in the recreational vehicle (“RV”), marine, manufactured housing (“MH”) and industrial markets.
The Company operates through a nationwide network that includes, as of December 31, 2020, 141 manufacturing plants and 58 warehouse and distribution facilities located in 23 states, China, Canada and the Netherlands. The Company operates within two reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, through a nationwide network of manufacturing and distribution centers for its products, thereby reducing in-transit delivery time and cost to the regional manufacturing footprint of its customers. The Manufacturing and Distribution segments accounted for 70% and 30% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2020, respectively. Financial information about these operating segments is included in Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Form 10-K") and incorporated herein by reference.
The Company’s strategic and capital allocation strategy is to optimally manage and utilize its resources and leverage its platform of operating brands to continue to grow and reinvest in its business. Through strategic acquisitions, expansion both geographically and into new product lines and investment in infrastructure and capital expenditures, Patrick seeks to ensure that its operating network contains capacity, technology and innovative thought processes to support anticipated growth needs, effectively respond to changes in market conditions, inventory and sales levels, and successfully integrate manufacturing, distribution and administrative functions.
Over the last three years, we have executed on a number of new product initiatives and invested approximately $705 million in acquisitions that directly complement our core competencies and existing product lines as well as expand our presence in our primary end markets.
The Company’s principal executive and administrative offices are located at 107 West Franklin Street, Elkhart, Indiana 46515 and the telephone number is (574) 294-7511; Internet website address: www.patrickind.com. The information on Patrick's website is not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K. The Company makes available free of charge through the website its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports filed with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Primary Markets
Patrick manufactures and distributes its products in four primary end markets. Operating facilities that supply our Company’s products generally are strategically located in proximity to the customers they serve. The Company’s sales by market are as follows:
2020 2019
RV 56 % 55 %
Marine 14 % 14 %
MH 17 % 19 %
Industrial 13 % 12 %
Total 100 % 100 %
Recreational Vehicles
The Company’s RV products are sold primarily to major manufacturers of RVs, smaller OEMs, and to a lesser extent, manufacturers in adjacent industries. The principal types of recreational vehicles include (1) towables: conventional travel trailers, fifth wheels, folding camping trailers, and truck campers; and (2) motorized: class A (large motor homes), class B (van campers), and class C (small-to-mid size motor homes). The RV market is primarily dominated by Thor Industries, Inc. (“Thor”), Forest River, Inc. (“Forest River”) and Winnebago Industries, Inc. ("Winnebago") which combined held 91% of retail market share for towables and 86% for motorized units for 2020 as reported per Statistical Surveys, Inc. ("SSI").
In the late first quarter and early second quarter of 2020, we temporarily curtailed production at certain of our facilities in alignment with the temporary production shutdowns by our RV OEM customers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second half of 2020, OEM production improved sharply in response to a strong increase in retail and wholesale demand for RV units, and our sales to our RV OEM customers correspondingly improved. According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (the “RVIA”), wholesale industry unit shipments increased 6% in 2020, while RV retail unit sales, according to SSI, increased by 12%. With RV retail sales outpacing wholesale unit shipments in 2020, dealer inventories, which were already at historically low levels entering 2020, declined by more than 80,000 units in 2020, resulting in dealer inventories at their lowest levels in the last decade.
We estimate that our mix of RV revenues related to towable units and motorized units is consistent with the overall RV industry production mix. In 2020, according to the RVIA, towable and motorized unit shipments represented approximately 91% and 9%, respectively, of total RV industry wholesale shipments and wholesale unit shipments increased 8% in the towable sector in 2020 compared to the prior year and decreased 13% in the motorized sector.
Recreational vehicle purchases are generally consumer discretionary income purchases, and therefore, any situation which causes concerns related to discretionary income can have a negative impact on this market. The Company believes that industry-wide retail sales and the related production levels of RVs will continue to be dependent on the overall strength of the economy, consumer confidence levels, equity securities market trends, fluctuations in dealer inventories, the level of disposable income, and other demographic trends.
Demographic and ownership trends continue to point to favorable market growth in the long term in the recreational vehicle market, as there is a shift toward outdoor, nature-based tourism activities, with a large segment of the population’s “millennials” and "Gen Xers" embracing this outdoor lifestyle and entering into the RV marketplace as well as an increasing percentage of new campers from more diverse groups. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to increased consumer interest in the RV lifestyle. According to the May and October 2020 KOA North American Camping Reports, based on surveys of North American leisure travelers, camping trips and road trips are viewed as the safest forms of travel activities in the current COVID-19 environment, and spending time outdoors with family is the leading motivating factor to return to traveling among leisure travelers and campers.
Detailed narrative information about the Company’s sales to the RV industry is included in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (the "MD&A") of this Form 10-K.
Marine
The marine industry reflects the active, outdoor leisure-based, family-oriented lifestyle that characterizes the RV industry and the Company has increased its focus and expanded its presence in this market through recent acquisitions, particularly within the last three years. Consumer demand in the marine market is generally driven by the popularity of the recreational and leisure lifestyle and by economic conditions. Similar to our RV market, the marine industry was impacted by COVID-19 disruptions in 2020 with our plants experiencing temporary shutdowns in the late first quarter and early second quarter of 2020, which were then followed by sharp increases in marine demand in the second half of 2020, which we believe is driven in part by an increased interest in outdoor activities, including marine activities, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on leisure preferences.
According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association ("NMMA"), per its 2019 U.S. Recreational Boating Statistical Abstract (the "Abstract"), it is estimated that there were approximately 12 million registered boats in the U.S. in 2019. Total U.S. retail expenditures on boats, engines, accessories, and related costs totaled approximately $43.1 billion in 2019, up approximately 3% from 2018 as stated in the Abstract. The average age of boats currently in use is approximately 25 years compared to an average useful life of 30 years, and the expected number of boats to be retired over the next four years is approximately one million, according to NMMA.
The Company’s sales to the marine industry are primarily focused on the powerboat sector of the market which is comprised of four main categories: fiberglass, aluminum fishing, pontoon and ski & wake. Based on current available data per SSI through December 2020, within the powerboat sector for 2020, fiberglass units accounted for approximately 38% of retail unit sales, aluminum 27%, pontoon 29% and ski & wake 6%. Based on current available data per SSI through December 2020, marine powerboat retail unit shipments increased 15% in 2020 compared to 2019, while marine wholesale unit shipments decreased approximately 14% in 2020 compared to 2019, resulting in historically low marine dealer inventories. Additional information about the Company’s sales to the marine industry is included in the MD&A of this Form 10-K.
Manufactured Housing
The Company’s manufactured housing products are sold primarily to major manufacturers of manufactured homes, other OEMs, and to a lesser extent, to manufacturers in adjacent industries. In the aggregate, the top three manufacturers produced approximately 77% of MH market retail unit shipments in 2020 per SSI.
Although wholesale unit shipments have increased in the MH industry from a low of approximately 49,800 units in 2009 to 94,000 units in 2020, they are still trending well below historical levels. The Company believes there is upside potential for this market in the long term driven by pent-up demand, multi-family housing capacity, improving consumer credit and financing conditions, residential housing market conditions, higher consumer confidence levels, increased affordability and quality, demographic trends such as first time home buyers and urban-to-suburban trends, new home pricing, and improved consumer savings levels.
Factors that may favorably impact production levels further in this industry include improving quality credit standards in the residential housing market, new jobs growth, consumer confidence, favorable changes in financing regulations, a narrowing in the difference between interest rates on MH loans and mortgages on traditional residential "stick-built" housing, and any improvement in conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.
The MH industry was impacted by disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which resulted in plant shutdowns in the late first quarter and early second quarter of 2020, followed by a recovery that, compared to our RV and marine end markets, emerged more slowly as a result of MH OEM labor and supply disruptions that did not begin to subside until late 2020.
In addition, MH loan program initiatives by Fannie Mae are expected to increase MH loan availability and reduce the total cost of MH borrowing, with a potential resulting increase in MH demand.
Additional information about the Company’s sales to the MH industry is included in the MD&A of this Form 10-K.
Industrial Markets
We estimate that approximately 60% of our industrial net sales in 2020 were associated with the U.S. residential housing market. We believe that there is a direct correlation between the demand for our products in this market and new residential housing construction and remodeling activities. Patrick's sales to the industrial market generally lag new housing starts by four to six months as our industrial products are generally among the last components installed in new unit construction and will vary based on differences in regional economic prospects.
Many of Patrick's core manufacturing products are also utilized in the kitchen cabinet, high-rise, office and household furniture, hospitality, and fixtures and commercial furnishings markets. These markets are generally
categorized by a more performance-than-price driven customer base, and provide an opportunity for the Company to diversify its customer base. Additionally, other residential and commercial segments have been less vulnerable to import competition, and therefore, provide opportunities for increased sales penetration and market share gains. Over the past three years, the residential housing market in particular has benefited from a low interest rate environment and tight housing market conditions across the country, and that trend is expected to continue in 2021.
Additional information about the Company’s sales to the industrial markets is included in the MD&A of this Form 10-K.
Strategic Acquisitions
The Company is focused on driving growth in its primary markets through the acquisition of companies with strong management teams having a strategic fit with Patrick’s core values, business model and customer presence, as well as additional product lines, facilities, or other assets to complement or expand its existing businesses. The Company may explore strategic acquisition opportunities that are not directly tied to the four primary markets it serves in order to further leverage its core competencies in manufacturing and distribution and to diversify its end market exposure and presence.
In 2020, the Company invested approximately $307 million in acquisitions and over the last three years has completed approximately $703 million of acquisitions. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of acquisitions completed by the Company in 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Competition
The RV, MH, marine and industrial markets are highly competitive, both among manufacturers and the suppliers of various components. The barriers to entry for each industry are generally low and include compliance with industry standards, codes and safety requirements, and the initial capital investment required to establish manufacturing operations. In addition, the Company competes with manufacturers of manufactured homes with vertically integrated operations. Across the Company’s range of products and services, competition exists primarily on price, product features and innovation, timely and reliable delivery, quality and customer service. Several competitors compete with Patrick in each product line on a regional and local basis. However, in order for a competitor to compete with Patrick on a national basis, the Company believes that a substantial capital commitment and investment in personnel and facilities would be required.
Capacity and Plant Expansions
Patrick has the ability to fulfill demand for certain products in excess of capacity at certain facilities by shifting production to other facilities. Capital expenditures for 2020 consisted of $32.1 million of investments primarily to replace and upgrade production equipment, expand facilities outside of core Midwest markets to align with OEM expansions, increase capacity, and provide more advanced manufacturing automation. Management regularly monitors capacity at its facilities and reallocates existing resources where needed to maintain production efficiencies throughout all of its operations and capitalize on commercial and industrial synergies in key regions to support profitable growth, grow its customer base, and expand its geographical product reach outside its core Midwest market.
Branding
New product development is a key component of the Company’s efforts to grow its market share and revenue base, adapt to changing market conditions, and proactively address customer demand. The Company has expanded its product and service offerings with the integration of new and innovative product lines into its operations that bring additional value to customers and create additional scale advantages.
The Studio
The Company's Design/Innovation Center and Showroom, The Studio, is located in Elkhart, Indiana. The Studio presents the latest design trends and products in the markets served by Patrick, and provides a creative environment for customers to design products and enhance their brand. The 45,000 square foot facility includes a 25,000 square foot showroom devoted to the display of products, capabilities and services offered by each of Patrick’s business units, in addition to offices and conference rooms. The Company’s specialized team of designers, engineers and graphic artists works with RV, MH, marine and industrial customers to meet their creative design and product needs, including creating new styles and utilizing new colors, patterns, products, and materials for panels and mouldings, cabinet doors, furniture, lighting and other products. Other services provided at The Studio include product development, 3D CAD illustration, 3D printing, photography and marketing.
Marine Studio
The Company's Marine Studio, which was opened in February 2020 and is located in Sarasota, Florida, is a comprehensive marine studio showroom, design and engineering center, which provides engineering and integrated design solutions for our marine customers. The 14,000 square foot facility includes a showroom that displays the Company's marine products as well as the marine design and engineering capabilities and services offered by our marine businesses.
Operating Brands
Through its operating brands, the Company provides customers with specific product knowledge, expertise and support that are tailored to their needs. The Company strives to be the supplier of choice for its customers by elevating the customer purchasing experience with expert product line managers, and support staff and strategic partnerships for each operating brand, which help drive efficiency and maximize value for its customers.
Patrick has no material licenses, franchises, or concessions and does not conduct material research and development activities.
Marketing and Distribution
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had over 3,300 active customers. Its revenues from the RV market include sales to two major manufacturers of RVs that each account for over 10% of the Company's net sales, Forest River and Thor. Both Forest River and Thor have multiple businesses and brands that operate independently under the parent company and these multiple businesses and brands generally purchase our products independently from one another. The Company’s sales to the various businesses of Forest River and Thor, on a combined basis, accounted for 39%, 40% and 49% of our consolidated net sales, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company generally maintains supplies of various commodity products in its warehouses to ensure that it has product on hand at all times for its distribution customers. The Company purchases a majority of its distribution segment products in railcar, container, or truckload quantities, which are warehoused prior to their sale to customers. Approximately 12%, 12%, 15% of the Company's distribution segment’s sales were from products shipped directly from the suppliers to Patrick customers in 2020, 2019, 2018, respectively. Typically there is a one to two-week period between Patrick receiving a purchase order and the delivery of products to its warehouses or customers and, as a result, the Company has no material backlog of orders. In periods of declining market conditions, customer order rates can decline, resulting in less efficient logistics planning and fulfillment and thus increasing delivery costs due to increased numbers of shipments with fewer products in each shipment.
Raw Materials
Patrick has arrangements with certain suppliers that specify exclusivity in certain geographic areas, pricing structures and rebate agreements among other terms.
Raw materials are primarily commodity products, such as lauan, gypsum, particleboard and other softwood and hardwood lumber products, aluminum, copper, plastic resin, fiberglass and overlays, among others which are available from many suppliers. Our customers do not maintain long-term supply contracts, and therefore, the Company bears the risk of accurate forecasting of customer orders. Our sales in the short-term could be negatively impacted in the event any unforeseen negative circumstances were to affect our major suppliers. In addition, demand changes in certain market sectors can result in fluctuating costs of certain more commodity-oriented raw materials and other products that are utilized and distributed.
The Company continually explores alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from outside the U.S. Alternate sources of supply are available for all of its material purchases.
Regulation and Environmental Quality
The Company’s operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations administered by federal, state, and local regulatory authorities including requirements relating to air, water and noise pollution. Additionally, these requirements regulate the Company's use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used or generated during specific manufacturing processes.
Select products are subject to various legally binding or voluntary standards. For example, the composite wood substrate materials that Patrick utilizes in the production process in the RV marketplace have been certified as to compliance with applicable emission standards developed by the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”). All suppliers and manufacturers of composite wood materials are required to comply with the current CARB regulations.
The Company is certified to sell Forestry Stewardship Council (“FSC”) materials to its customers at certain of its manufacturing branches. The FSC certification provides a link between responsible production and consumption of materials from the world’s forests and assists the Company’s customers in making socially and environmentally responsible buying decisions on the products they purchase. Upholstered products and mattresses provided by the Company for RVs must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding flammability.
The Company also produces and provides products for manufactured homes that must comply with performance and construction regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).
Seasonality
Manufacturing operations in the RV, marine and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits had generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers in the August-September timeframe and marine open houses in the December-February timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, recent seasonal industry trends have been, and future trends may be, different than in prior years due to the impact of COVID-19, volatile economic conditions, interest rates, access to financing, cost of fuel, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and marine units and other products for which the Company sells its components, as well as fluctuations in RV and marine dealer inventories, increased volatility in demand from RV and marine dealers, the timing of dealer orders, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.
Human Capital Management
Our people are the heart of our business, and we allocate substantial resources to foster the well-being, success and growth of our team members in an inclusive and diverse environment which we believe is fundamental to our values and our service to our customers. At December 31, 2020, our team members totaled 8,700, of which 85% are hourly team members who serve our OEM customers by producing and distributing products in our RV, marine, MH and industrial end markets, and 15% who are salaried employees who manage the resources, capital allocations, business decisions, and customer relationships of our end markets.
The majority of our team members work in our facilities to produce or distribute products for our customers. Our investment in human capital resources focuses on this environment to ensure their well-being and success. Our primary commitment to our team members in the production environment is to their safety, well-being and progress, and in this regard our human capital management programs focus on the following, in addition to our health care insurance and other employment benefits:
•Free assistance programs available to all team members and their families to address mental health and others matters which arise, which we believe are essential during the unique pressures and uncertainties during the COVID-19 pandemic;
•Tuition reimbursement programs available to all team members as they pursue educational opportunities;
•Leadership programs available to all employees that are designed to foster leadership and communication skills to advance team members to the next stage of their careers;
•Job safety analysis, which identifies risks unique to each production environment, training and empowering our team members to mitigate risks and develop workplace best practices;
•OSHA preparedness, which involves site specific training development to educate and enable our team members to work safely and effectively;
•Industrial hygiene audits and testing, ensuring that our team members work in healthy environments with respect to air quality and noise reduction;
•Machine guarding and work area audits, which identify mechanical and non-mechanical improvements in the safety and well-being of the production environment;
•Train-the-trainer programs, which foster best-practice operational techniques for our team members to advance their capabilities to operate our facilities in the safest and most effective manner;
•Site-specific training development, which tailors customized training and consulting to the unique needs of the production environment; and
•Ergonomic assessments for all team members, which accommodate each individual to work in the most effective and comfortable manner.
Our success is dependent on our ability to hire, retain, and engage highly qualified team members who serve our customers. In this regard, we aspire to be a merit-based organization that is inclusive and diverse, building a culture where our team members feel they belong. Our leadership development programs bring a diverse and energetic source of talent to lead the future of our organization, and our recruitment efforts strive to foster an inclusive culture that we believe strengthens our organization and our ability to serve our customers.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations in future periods.
COVID-19 Risks
The global spread of the COVID-19 virus and measures implemented to combat it have had, and are expected to continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business.
The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in 2020 and 2021 has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created material volatility and disruption in financial markets. The impact of this pandemic has created material uncertainty in the global economy. The impact of COVID-19 on our end markets was experienced primarily in the last two weeks of the first quarter of 2020 and in the first six weeks of the second quarter of 2020 as certain of our OEM customers implemented plant shutdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While our end markets appear to have resumed business operations that are similar to pre-COVID activities in the second half of 2020, our OEM customers continue to experience labor and supply chain disruptions related to the pandemic. Uncertainties related to the impact of COVID-19 could in the future have a material adverse effect on our business, employees, suppliers, OEM customers and our end markets in general. The duration and magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be precisely estimated at this time, as each is affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and potential future pandemic outbreaks, we face material risks including, but not limited to:
•Decreases in consumer confidence and disposable income and increases in unemployment could reduce demand for our products by our customers in all of our end markets.
•Tightening credit standards could negatively impact credit availability to consumers which could have an adverse effect on all of our end markets.
•Supply chain and shipping interruptions and constraints, volatility in demand for our products caused by sudden and material changes in production levels by our customers or other restrictions affecting our business could adversely impact our planning and forecasting, our revenues and our operations.
•Disruptions in our manufacturing and supply arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential manufacturing and supply elements such as raw materials or other finished product components, transportation, workforce, or other manufacturing and distribution capabilities could result in our inability to meet our end market customer needs and achieve cost targets.
•Material changes in the conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell or distribute our products, including additional or expanded quarantines or "stay at home" orders, governmental or regulatory actions, closures or other restrictions that further limit or close our operating and manufacturing facilities, restrict our employees’ ability to travel or perform necessary business functions, restrict or prevent consumers from
having access to our products, or otherwise prevent our suppliers or customers from sufficiently staffing operations, could adversely impact operations necessary for the production, distribution, sale, and support of our products.
•Failure of third parties on which we rely, including our customers, suppliers, distributors, commercial banks, and other external business partners, to meet their obligations to the Company or to timely meet those obligations, or material disruptions in their ability to do so, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties, may adversely impact our operations.
•Certain of our customers may experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy or insolvency, as a result of the impact of COVID-19. If any of our customers suffer material financial difficulties, they may be unable to pay amounts due to us fully, partially, or timely. Further, we may have to negotiate material discounts and/or extended financing terms with these customers in such a situation. If we are unable to collect our accounts receivable as they come due, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.
•If we are unable to maintain normal operations, or subsequently are unable to resume normal operations in a timely fashion, our cash flows could be adversely affected, making it difficult to maintain adequate liquidity or meet debt covenants. As a result, the Company may be required to pursue additional sources of financing to meet our financial obligations and fund our operations and obtaining such financing is not guaranteed and is largely dependent upon market conditions and other factors.
•Disruptions to our operations related to COVID-19 as a result of absenteeism by infected or ill members of management or other employees, or absenteeism by members of management and other employees who elect not to come to work due to the illness affecting others at our facilities, or due to quarantines.
•The COVID-19 pandemic has led to and could continue to lead to severe disruption and volatility in the United States and global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. In addition, trading prices in the public equity markets, including prices of our common stock, have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
•Sustained adverse impacts to the Company, certain suppliers, and customers may also affect the Company’s future valuation of certain assets and therefore may increase the likelihood of an impairment charge, write-off, or reserve associated with such assets, including goodwill, indefinite and finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, tax assets, and other assets.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted and is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the length of its impact on the global economy, as well as any new information that may emerge concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken to contain it or mitigate its impact. The continued impact on our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, prospects and the trading prices of our securities in 2021 and beyond.
Risks Related to our Business
Economic and business conditions beyond Patrick's control, including cyclicality and seasonality in the industries it sells products, could lead to fluctuations in and negatively impact operating results.
The RV, MH, marine and industrial markets in which we operate are subject to cycles of growth and contraction in consumer demand, and volatility in production levels, shipments, sales and operating results, due to external factors such as general economic conditions, consumer confidence, employment rates, financing availability, interest rates, inflation, fuel prices, and other economic conditions affecting consumer demand and discretionary spending. Periods of economic recession and downturns have adversely affected our business and operating results in the past, and have potential to adversely impact our future results. Consequently, the results for any prior period may not be indicative of results for any future period. In addition, fluctuation in demand could adversely affect our
management of inventory, which could lead to an inability to meet customer needs or a charge for obsolete inventory.
Manufacturing operations in the RV, marine and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits had generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers in the August-September timeframe and marine open houses in the December-February timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, recent seasonal industry trends have been, and future trends may be, different than in prior years due to the impact of COVID-19, volatile economic conditions, interest rates, access to financing, cost of fuel, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and marine units and other products for which the Company sells its components, as well as fluctuations in RV and marine dealer inventories, increased volatility in demand from RV and marine dealers, the timing of dealer orders, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.
If the financial condition of our customers and suppliers deteriorates, our business and operating results could suffer.
The markets we serve have been highly sensitive to changes in the economic environment. Weakening conditions in the economy, or the lack of available financing in the credit market, could cause the financial condition of our customers and suppliers to deteriorate, which could negatively affect our business through the loss of sales or the inability to meet our commitments. Many of our customers participate in highly competitive markets and their financial condition may deteriorate as a result. In addition, a decline in the financial condition of our customers could hinder our ability to collect amounts owed by customers.
Our sales are materially concentrated with two customers, the loss of either of which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
Two customers in the RV market accounted for a combined 39% of our consolidated net sales in 2020. The loss of either of these customers could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition. We do not have long-term agreements with our customers and cannot predict that we will maintain our current relationships with these customers or that we will continue to supply them at current levels.
Changes in consumer preferences relating to our products could adversely impact our sales levels and our operating results.
Changes in consumer preferences, or our inability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences for RVs, marine models or manufactured homes, or for the products we make could reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
A material percentage of the Company’s sales are concentrated in the RV industry, and declines in the level of RV unit shipments or reductions in industry growth could reduce demand for our products and adversely impact our operating results and financial condition.
In 2020 and 2019, the Company's net sales to the RV industry were approximately 56% and 55%, respectively, of consolidated net sales. While the Company measures its RV segment sales against industry-wide wholesale shipment statistics, the underlying health of the RV industry is determined by retail demand. Retail sales of RVs historically have been closely tied to general economic conditions and consumer confidence, which experienced substantial volatility in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Declines in RV unit shipment levels or reductions in industry growth could materially reduce the Company’s revenue from the RV industry and have a material adverse impact on its operating results in 2021 and other future periods.
The RV, MH, marine and industrial industries are highly competitive and some of our competitors may have greater resources than we do.
We operate in a highly competitive business environment and our sales could be negatively impacted by our inability to maintain or increase prices, changes in regional demand or product mix, or the decision of our customers to purchase our competitors’ products or to produce in-house products that we currently produce. We compete not only with other suppliers to the RV, MH, marine and industrial producers, but also with suppliers to traditional site-built homebuilders and suppliers of cabinetry and countertops. Sales could also be affected by pricing, purchasing, financing, advertising, operational, promotional, or other decisions made by purchasers of our products. Additionally, we cannot control the decisions made by suppliers of our distributed and manufactured products and therefore, our ability to maintain our distribution arrangements may be adversely impacted.
Some of our competitors have greater financial resources or lower levels of debt or financial leverage and this may enable them to commit larger amounts of capital in response to changing market conditions. Further, competitors may develop innovative new products that could put the Company at a competitive disadvantage. If we are unable to compete successfully against other manufacturers and suppliers to the RV, marine and MH industries as well as to the industrial markets we serve, we could lose customers and sales could decline, or we may not be able to improve or maintain profit margins on sales to customers or be able to continue to compete successfully in our core markets.
Conditions in the credit market could limit the ability of consumers and wholesale customers to obtain retail and wholesale financing for RVs, manufactured homes, and marine products, resulting in reduced demand for our products.
Restrictions on the availability of consumer and wholesale financing for RVs, manufactured homes and marine products and increases in the costs of such financing have in the past limited, and could again limit, the ability of consumers and wholesale customers to purchase such products, which would result in reduced production by our customers, and therefore reduce demand for our products.
Loans used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes usually have shorter terms and higher interest rates, and are more difficult to obtain, than mortgages for site-built homes. Historically, lenders required a higher down payment, higher credit scores and other criteria for these loans. Current lending criteria are more stringent than historical criteria, and many potential buyers of manufactured homes may not qualify.
The availability, cost, and terms of these manufactured housing loans are also dependent on economic conditions, lending practices of financial institutions, government policies, and other factors, all of which are beyond our control. Reductions in the availability of financing for manufactured homes and increases in the costs of this financing have limited, and could continue to limit, the ability of consumers and wholesale customers to purchase manufactured homes, resulting in reduced production of manufactured homes by our customers, and therefore reduced demand for our products. In addition, certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, which regulate financial transactions, could make certain types of loans more difficult to obtain, including those historically used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes.
The manufactured housing industry has experienced a material long-term decline in shipments, which has led to reduced demand for our products.
The MH industry, which accounted for 17% and 19% of the Company's consolidated net sales for 2020 and 2019, respectively, has experienced a material decline in production of new homes compared to the last peak production level in 1998. The downturn was caused, in part, by limited availability and high cost of financing for manufactured homes and was exacerbated by economic and political conditions during the 2008 financial crisis. Although industry-wide wholesale production of manufactured homes has improved somewhat in recent years, annual production remains well below historical averages and a worsening of conditions in the MH market could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
Fuel shortages or high prices for fuel could have an adverse impact on our operations.
The products produced by the RV and marine industries typically require gasoline or diesel fuel for their operation, or the use of a vehicle requiring gasoline or diesel fuel for their operation. There can be no assurance that the supply of gasoline and diesel fuel will continue uninterrupted or that the price or tax on fuel will not materially increase in the future. Shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel, and substantial increases in the price of fuel, have had a material adverse effect on our business and the RV and marine industries as a whole in the past and could have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.
If we cannot effectively manage the challenges and risks associated with doing business internationally, our revenues and profitability may suffer.
We purchase a material portion of our raw materials and other supplies from suppliers located in Indonesia, China, Malaysia and Canada. As a result, our ability to obtain raw materials and supplies on favorable terms and in a timely fashion are subject to a variety of risks, including fluctuations in foreign currencies, changes in the economic strength of the foreign countries in which we do business, difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and intellectual property rights, compliance burdens associated with a wide variety of international and U.S. import laws, and social, political, and economic instability. Our business with our international suppliers could be adversely affected by restrictions on travel to and from any of the countries in which we do business due to a health epidemic or outbreak, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or other event. Additional risks associated with our foreign business include restrictive trade policies, imposition of duties, taxes, or government royalties by foreign governments, and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local anti-bribery laws. Any measures, or proposals to implement such measures, could negatively impact our relations with our international suppliers and the volume of shipments to the U.S. from these countries, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and operating results. We maintain limited operations in Canada, the Netherlands and China but are nevertheless exposed to risks of operating in those countries associated with: (i) the difficulties and costs of complying with a wide variety of complex laws, treaties and regulations; (ii) unexpected changes in political or regulatory environments; (iii) earnings and cash flows that may be subject to tax withholding requirements or the imposition of tariffs, exchange controls, or other restrictions; (iv) political, economic, and social instability; (v) import and export restrictions and other trade barriers; (vi) responding to disruptions in existing trade agreements or increased trade tensions between countries or political or economic unions; (vii) maintaining overseas subsidiaries and managing international operations; and (viii) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
We are dependent on third-party suppliers and manufacturers and any increased cost and limited availability of certain raw materials may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Prices of certain materials, including gypsum, lauan, particleboard, MDF, aluminum and other commodity products, can be volatile and change dramatically with changes in supply and demand. Certain products are purchased from overseas and their availability is dependent upon weather conditions, seasonal and religious holidays, political unrest, economic conditions overseas, tariffs or other cross-border taxes, natural disasters, vessel shipping schedules and port availability. Further, our commodity product suppliers sometimes operate at or near capacity, resulting in some products having the potential of being put on allocation. We generally have been able to maintain adequate supplies of materials and to pass higher material costs on to our customers in the form of surcharges and base price increases where needed. However, it is not certain future price increases can be passed on to our customers without affecting demand or that limited availability of materials will not impact our production capabilities. Our sales levels and operating results could be negatively impacted by changes in any of these items.
Generally, our raw materials, supplies and energy requirements are obtained from various sources and in the quantities desired. While alternative sources are available, our business is subject to the risk of price increases and periodic delays in delivery. Fluctuations in prices may be driven by the supply/demand relationship for that commodity, governmental regulation, tariffs or other cross-border taxes, economic conditions in other countries, religious holidays, natural disasters, and other events. In addition, if any of our suppliers seek bankruptcy relief or otherwise cannot continue their business as anticipated, the availability or price of these requirements could be adversely affected.
If we are unable to manage our inventory, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected.
We generally do not have long-term supply contracts with our customers and, therefore, we must bear the risk of certain inventory commitments, based on our projections of future customer orders. We maintain an inventory to support these customers’ needs. Changes in demand, market conditions and/or product specifications could result in material obsolescence and a lack of alternative markets for certain of our customer specific products and could negatively impact operating results.
We could incur charges for impairment of assets, including goodwill and other long-lived assets, due to potential declines in the fair value of those assets or a decline in expected profitability of the Company or individual reporting units of the Company.
Approximately 70% of our total assets as of December 31, 2020 were comprised of goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment. Under generally accepted accounting principles, each of these assets is subject to periodic review and testing to determine whether the asset is recoverable or realizable. The events or changes that could require us to test these assets for impairment include changes in our estimated future cash flows, changes in rates of growth in our industry or in any of our businesses, and decreases in our stock price and market capitalization.
In the future, if sales demand or market conditions change from those projected by management, asset write-downs may be required. Material impairment charges, although not always affecting current cash flow, could have a material effect on our operating results and financial position.
Increases in demand for our products could make it more difficult for us to obtain additional skilled labor, which may adversely impact our operating efficiencies.
In certain geographic regions in which we have operating facilities, we have experienced shortages of qualified employees in the past, which negatively impacted our costs. While we are taking certain steps to automate aspects of our production and distribution, labor shortages and continued competition for qualified employees may increase the cost of our labor and create employee retention and recruitment challenges, especially during improving economic times, as employees with knowledge and experience have the ability to change employers more easily.
If demand for employees continues to increase, we may not be able to increase production to timely satisfy demand, and may initially incur higher labor and production costs, which could adversely impact our financial condition and operating results.
We may incur material charges or be adversely impacted by the consolidation and/or closure of all or part of a manufacturing or distribution facility.
We periodically assess the cost structure of our operating facilities to distribute and/or manufacture products in the most efficient manner. We may make capital investments to move, discontinue manufacturing and/or distribution capabilities, or products and product lines, sell or close all or part of additional manufacturing and/or distribution facilities in the future. These changes could result in material future charges or disruptions in our operations, and we may not achieve the expected benefits from these changes, which could result in an adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows, and financial condition.
We are subject to governmental and environmental regulations, and failure in our compliance efforts, changes to such laws and regulations or events beyond our control could result in damages, expenses or liabilities that individually, or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Some of our manufacturing processes involve the use, handling, storage and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Accordingly, we are subject to various governmental and environmental laws and regulations regarding these substances, as well as environmental requirements relating to air, water and
noise pollution. The implementation of new laws and regulations or amendments to existing regulations could materially increase the cost of the Company’s products. We cannot presently determine what, if any, legislation may be adopted by federal, state or local governing bodies, or the effect any such legislation may have on our customers or us. Failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines or potential civil or criminal liability. Both scenarios could negatively impact our results of operations or financial condition.
We are subject to federal, state, local and certain international tax regulation. Changes thereto can have impacts on taxes paid, exposure to liabilities, and financial results of the Company.
While we seek to ensure the Company remains compliant with tax regulations in all jurisdictions in which we operate, new legislation or changes in existing legislation may result in changes to amounts owed for income, personal and real property taxes. These changes may negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows or increase the Company's effective tax rate.
We are also subject to the examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, states in which we conduct business, and other tax authorities. If our effective tax rates were to increase, or if the ultimate determination of our taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be adversely affected.
The inability to attract and retain qualified executive officers and key personnel may adversely affect our operations.
While we include succession planning as part of our ongoing talent development and management process to help ensure the continuity of our business model, the loss of any of our executive officers or other key personnel could reduce our ability to manage our business and strategic plan in the short-term and could cause our sales and operating results to decline. In addition, our future success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain executive management, key employees, and other qualified personnel.
Our ability to integrate acquired businesses may adversely affect operations.
As part of our business and strategic plan, we look for strategic acquisitions to provide shareholder value. Any acquisition will require the effective integration of an existing business and certain of its administrative, financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, distribution and other functions to maximize synergies. Acquired businesses involve a number of risks that may affect our financial performance, including increased leverage, diversion of management resources, assumption of liabilities of the acquired businesses, financial reporting systems which do not integrate with the Company's existing financial reporting systems and possible corporate culture conflicts. If we are unable to successfully integrate these acquisitions, we may not realize the benefits identified in our due diligence process, and our financial results may be negatively impacted. Additionally, material unexpected liabilities could arise from these acquisitions.
Risks Related to Indebtedness
Our level of indebtedness could limit our operational flexibility and harm our financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $840.0 million of total long-term debt, including current maturities and exclusive of deferred financing costs and debt discount, outstanding under our 2019 Credit Facility, Senior Notes and Convertible Senior Notes (all as defined herein).
Our level of indebtedness could have adverse consequences on our future operations, including making it more difficult for us to meet our payments on outstanding debt, and we may not be able to find alternative financing sources to replace our indebtedness in such an event. Our level of indebtedness could: (i) reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limit our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes; (ii) limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting
to, and increase our vulnerability to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; (iii) place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged; and (iv) create concerns about our credit quality which could result in the loss of supplier contracts and/or customers. Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance which may be affected by factors beyond our control.
Our 2019 Credit Agreement contains various financial performance and other covenants. If we do not remain in compliance with these covenants, our 2019 Credit Agreement could be terminated and the amounts outstanding thereunder could become immediately due and payable.
The agreements governing our indebtedness contain financial and non-financial covenants with which we must comply that place restrictions on us. There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the financial covenants under our 2019 Credit Agreement (as defined herein). These covenants require that we comply with a maximum level of a consolidated total leverage ratio and a minimum level of a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (both covenants as described in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our 2019 Credit Agreement, the lenders could cause our debt to become due and payable prior to maturity or it could result in our having to refinance the indebtedness under unfavorable terms. If our debt were accelerated, our assets might not be sufficient to repay our debt in full and there can be no assurance that we would be able to refinance any or all of this indebtedness.
Due to industry conditions and our operating results, there have been times in the past when we have had limited access to sources of capital. If we are unable to locate suitable sources of capital when needed, we may be unable to maintain or expand our business.
We depend on our cash balances, our cash flows from operations, and our 2019 Credit Facility to finance our operating requirements, capital expenditures and other needs. If a material economic recession occurred, such as the recession that impacted the economy in 2007-2010, production of RVs, marine units and manufactured homes could decline materially, resulting in reduced demand for our products. A decline in our operating results could negatively impact our liquidity. If our cash balances, cash flows from operations, and availability under our 2019 Credit Facility are insufficient to finance our operations and alternative capital is not available, we may not be able to expand our business and make acquisitions, or we may need to curtail or limit our existing operations.
We have letters of credit representing collateral for our casualty insurance programs and for general operating purposes that have been issued under our 2019 Credit Agreement. The inability to retain our current letters of credit, to obtain alternative letter of credit sources, or to retain our 2019 Credit Agreement to support these programs could require us to post cash collateral, reduce the amount of cash available for our operations, or cause us to curtail or limit existing operations.
The conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Notes that we issued in January 2018, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Convertible Notes") is triggered, holders of Convertible Notes will be entitled to convert the Convertible Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their Convertible Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes as a current rather than long-term liability. See Notes 8 and 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
The convertible note hedge and warrant transactions may affect the value of the Convertible Notes and our common stock.
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with certain of the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates (the “option counterparties”). At the same time, we entered into warrant transactions with the option counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be. However, the warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect on our common stock to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants.
In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Convertible Notes and prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of Convertible Notes). This activity could cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock or the Convertible Notes, which could affect a holder's ability to convert the Convertible Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of Convertible Notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that a holder will receive upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.
Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
A variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, could influence fluctuations in the market price for our common stock.
The stock market, in general, experiences volatility that has often been unrelated to the underlying operating performance of companies. If this volatility continues, the trading price of our common stock could decline materially, independent of our actual operating performance. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate materially in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
•variations in our, our customers' and our competitors’ operating results;
•high concentration of shares held by institutional investors;
•announcements by us or our competitors of material contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
•announcements by us or our competitors of technological improvements or new products;
•the gain or loss of material customers;
•additions or departures of key personnel;
•events affecting other companies that the market deems comparable to us;
•changes in investor perception of our business and/or management;
•changes in global economic conditions or general market conditions in the industries in which we operate;
•sales of our common stock held by certain equity investors or members of management;
•issuance of our common stock or debt securities by the Company; and
•the occurrence of other events that are described in these risk factors.
Risks Related to Information Security, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy
If our information technology systems fail to perform adequately, our operations could be disrupted and could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations.
We are increasingly dependent on digital technology, including information systems and related infrastructure, to process and record financial and operating data, manage inventory and communicate with our employees and business partners. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage our business data, inventory, supply chain, order entry and fulfillment, manufacturing, distribution, warranty administration, invoicing, collection of payments, and other business processes. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, telecommunications or internet failures, computer viruses and malicious attacks, security breaches and catastrophic events. If our systems are damaged or fail to function properly or reliably, we may incur substantial repair or replacement costs or experience data loss or theft and impediments to our ability to manage our business, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Any such events could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or penalties under privacy laws, disruption in operations, and damage to our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.
In addition, we may be required to make material technology investments to maintain and update our existing information technology systems. Implementing material system changes increases the risk of computer system disruption. The potential problems and interruptions associated with implementing technology initiatives could disrupt or reduce our operational efficiency.
A cyber incident or data breach could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption, and/or financial loss.
Our technologies, systems, networks, and those of our business partners have in the past been, and may in the future become, the target of cyber-attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss, or destruction of proprietary and other information, or other disruption of our business operations. A cyber-attack could include gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption or destruction due to ransom attacks or malware or result in denial of service on websites. We have programs in place to detect, contain and respond to data security incidents. However, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, trickery, or other forms of deceiving our team members, contractors, vendors, and temporary staff. In addition, hardware, software, or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Any cyber-attack on our business could materially harm our business and operating results. The Company currently carries insurance to cover exposure to this type of incident, but this coverage may not be sufficient to cover all potential losses. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend material additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. If we or our suppliers experience additional material data security breaches or fail to detect and appropriately respond to material data security breaches, we could be exposed to costly government enforcement actions and private litigation and our business and operating results could suffer.
Other Risks
Certain provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws may delay, defer or prevent a change in control that our shareholders might consider to be in their best interest.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws contain provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions may delay, defer or prevent a change in control that our shareholders might consider to be in their best interest.
Conditions within the insurance markets could impact our ability to negotiate favorable terms and conditions for various liability coverage and could potentially result in uninsured losses.
We generally negotiate our insurance contracts annually for property, casualty, workers compensation, general liability, health insurance, and directors and officers liability coverage. Due to conditions within these insurance markets and other factors beyond our control, future coverage limits, terms and conditions and the amount of the related premiums could have a negative impact on our operating results. While we continually measure the risk/reward of policy limits and coverage, the lack of coverage in certain circumstances could result in potential uninsured losses.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Report. In addition, this MD&A contains certain statements relating to future results that are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” on page 3 of this Report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overview of Markets and Related Industry Performance
Recreational Vehicle ("RV") Industry
The RV industry is our primary market and comprised 56% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2020. Sales from the RV industry increased 8% in 2020 compared to 2019. This increase in sales occurred despite an approximate 6-week operations shutdown in the late first quarter and early second quarter of 2020 in certain of our RV facilities in alignment with production shutdowns by certain OEM customers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second half of 2020, OEM production improved sharply in response to a strong increase in retail and wholesale demand for RVs, and our sales to RV OEMs also improved.
According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), wholesale industry shipments totaled 430,000 units in 2020, an increase of 6% compared to 406,000 units in 2019. RV industry retail unit sales increased 12% in 2020 according to Statistical Surveys, Inc ("SSI"), outpacing wholesale industry unit shipments. As a result, RV industry dealer inventories, which were already at historically low levels entering 2020, declined by more than 80,000 units in 2020, resulting in dealer inventories at their lowest levels in the last decade.
Marine Industry
Sales to the marine industry, which represented approximately 14% of the Company's consolidated net sales in 2020, increased 3% in 2020 compared to 2019. Our marine revenue is generally correlated to marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments, which were impacted by marine OEM COVID-19 production shutdowns late in the first quarter and early in the second quarter of 2020. While marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments began to improve in the second half of 2020, total 2020 marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments decreased an estimated 14% according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association. At the same time, marine retail powerboat shipments increased 15% for 2020, benefiting from increased demand for powerboats, resulting in marine dealer inventory levels that are at their lowest since 2014 as retail sales outpaced marine wholesale unit shipments in 2020.
Manufactured Housing ("MH") Industry
Sales to the MH industry, which represented 17% of the Company’s consolidated sales in 2020, decreased 1% in 2020 compared to 2019. MH sales are correlated to MH industry wholesale unit shipments, which were impacted by temporary MH OEM production shutdowns as a result of COVID-19 in the late first quarter and early second quarter of 2020, slowly recovering in the second half of 2020 as MH OEMs worked through labor and supply constraints. Based on industry data from the Manufactured Housing Institute, MH wholesale industry unit shipments were flat in 2020.
Industrial Market
The industrial market is comprised primarily of the kitchen cabinet industry, high-rise, hospitality, retail and commercial fixtures market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors. Sales to this market represented 13% of our consolidated net sales in 2020, increasing 14% in 2020 compared to 2019. Overall, our revenues in these markets are focused on the residential housing, hospitality, high-rise housing and office, commercial construction and institutional furniture markets. We estimate that approximately 60% of our industrial business is directly tied to the residential housing market, with the remaining 40% directly tied to the non-residential and commercial markets.
Combined new housing starts increased 7% in 2020 compared to 2019, with single family housing starts increasing 12% and multifamily residential starts decreasing 3% for the same period. Our industrial products are generally among the last components installed in new unit construction and as such our related sales typically trail new housing starts by four to six months.
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS
The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items on the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Net income 97,061 3.9 89,566 3.8 119,832 5.3
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to 2019
Net Sales. Net sales in 2020 increased approximately $149.5 million, or 6%, to $2.49 billion from $2.34 billion in 2019. The increase was attributable to an 8% increase in sales from the RV industry, a 14% increase in the Company’s sales from the industrial markets and a 3% increase in sales from the marine industry, partially offset by a 1% decrease in sales from the MH industry.
In 2020 and 2019, net sales attributable to acquisitions completed in each of those years was $81.9 million and $8.3 million, respectively.
The Company’s RV content per wholesale unit for 2020 increased 2% to $3,235 from $3,170 in 2019. Marine powerboat content per wholesale unit for 2020 increased 24% to an estimated $2,098 from $1,696 in 2019. MH content per wholesale unit for 2020 decreased 1% to $4,580 in 2020 from $4,616 in 2019.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $113.4 million, or 6%, to $2.03 billion in 2020 from $1.91 billion in 2019. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased during 2020 to 81.5% from 81.9% in 2019.
The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales is attributed to certain fixed overhead components against the overall increase in net sales in 2020, partially offset by an increase in labor as an overall percentage of net sales. In general, the Company's cost of goods sold percentage can be impacted by demand changes in certain market sectors that can result in fluctuating costs of certain raw materials and commodity-based components that are utilized in the production of our products.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $36.1 million or 9%, to $459.0 million in 2020 from $422.9 million in 2019. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 18.5% in 2020 from 18.1% in 2019. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in 2020 compared to 2019 reflects the impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”.
Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of our RV, MH, marine and industrial businesses include the costs of commodities and the labor used to manufacture our products, the competitive environment and the impact of different gross margin profiles of acquired companies, all of which can cause gross margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.
Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $0.3 million, or 0.4%, to $98.4 million in 2020 from $98.1 million in 2019. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 4.0% in 2020 and 4.2% in 2019. The decrease as a percentage of net sales in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily attributable to the lower proportion of MH industry net sales in 2020 compared to 2019, which have higher warehousing and delivery costs as a percentage of net sales.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $11.9 million, or 9%, to $146.4 million in 2020 from $134.5 million in 2019. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.9% in 2020 and 5.8% in 2019. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in 2020 is primarily due to an expansion of general and administrative resources to support end market demand.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $5.0 million, or 13.8%, in 2020 compared to 2019. The increase in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily reflects the impact of an increase in intangible assets from businesses acquired in 2019 and 2020.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $19.0 million, or 12%, to $173.4 million in 2020 from $154.4 million in 2019. Operating income in 2020 and 2019 included $10.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, from the businesses acquired in each year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales was 7.0% in 2020 and 6.6% in 2019. The increase in operating income is primarily attributable to the items discussed above as well as the operating margin profiles of businesses acquired in 2020.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased $6.4 million, or 17%, to $43.0 million in 2020 from $36.6 million in 2019. The increase in net interest expense reflects increased borrowings related to 2020 acquisitions, partly offset by decreases in the average interest rate on the variable rate portion of the Company's debt, which reflects a lower weighted average LIBOR in 2020 compared to 2019.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $5.0 million, or 18%, to $33.3 million in 2020 from $28.3 million in 2019. For 2020, the effective tax rate was 25.6% compared to 24.0% in 2019. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2020 was mostly attributable to a change in the mix of state taxes and decreased benefits from stock-based compensation.
See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a discussion of our consolidated operating results for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018.
Use of Financial Metrics
Our MD&A includes financial metrics, such as RV, marine and MH content per unit, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance. Content per unit metrics are generally calculated using our market sales divided by third-party industry volume metrics. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to U.S. GAAP. Our computations of content per unit may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These metrics should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, we calculate marine content per unit based on estimated wholesale powerboat unit shipments, which we believe better represents the relationship between our sales and marine OEM production, rather than based on estimated retail powerboat unit sales.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company's reportable segments, manufacturing and distribution, are based on its method of internal reporting. The Company regularly evaluates the performance of the manufacturing and distribution segments and allocates resources to them based on a variety of indicators including net sales and operating income. The Company does not measure profitability at the end market (RV, marine, MH and industrial) level.
•Manufacturing - This segment includes the following products: laminated products that are utilized to produce furniture, shelving, walls, countertops and cabinet products; cabinet doors; fiberglass bath fixtures
and tile systems; hardwood furniture; vinyl printing; decorative vinyl and paper laminated panels; solid surface, granite, and quartz countertop fabrication; RV painting; fabricated aluminum products; fiberglass and plastic components; fiberglass bath fixtures and tile systems; softwoods lumber; custom cabinetry; polymer-based flooring; electrical systems components including instrument and dash panels; wrapped vinyl, paper and hardwood profile mouldings; interior passage doors; air handling products; slide-out trim and fascia; thermoformed shower surrounds; specialty bath and closet building products; fiberglass and plastic helm systems and components products; treated, untreated and laminated plywood; wiring and wire harnesses; boat covers, towers, tops and frames; marine hardware; aluminum and plastic fuel tanks; CNC molds and composite parts; slotwall panels and components; and other products.
•Distribution - The Company distributes pre-finished wall and ceiling panels; drywall and drywall finishing products; electronics and audio systems components; appliances; wiring, electrical and plumbing products; fiber reinforced polyester products; cement siding; raw and processed lumber; interior passage doors; roofing products; laminate and ceramic flooring; tile; shower doors; furniture; fireplaces and surrounds; interior and exterior lighting products; and other miscellaneous products in addition to providing transportation and logistics services.

Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to 2019
Manufacturing
Net Sales. Sales increased $92.3 million, or 6%, to $1.77 billion from $1.67 billion in 2019. This segment accounted for approximately 70% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2020 and 2019. The sales increase reflected increased net sales across all of our end markets.
In 2020 and 2019, net sales attributable to acquisitions completed in each of those periods was $52.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $17.5 million, or 6%, to $324.9 million in 2020 from $307.4 million in 2019. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 18.4% in 2020 and 2019.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $15.6 million, or 9%, to $190.5 million in 2020 from $174.9 million in 2019. Operating income attributable to acquisitions completed in 2020 and 2019 was $7.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The increase in operating income primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above.
Distribution
Net Sales. Sales increased $63.3 million, or 9%, to $762.5 million in 2020 from $699.2 million in 2019. This segment accounted for approximately 30% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2020 and 2019. The increase in net sales in 2020 is primarily attributed to an increase in RV, industrial and marine end market net sales, partially offset by a decrease in net sales to the MH market. Revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in 2020 was $29.4 million.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $22.3 million, or 20%, to $133.3 million in 2020 from $111.0 million in 2019. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 17.5% in 2020 compared to 15.9% in 2019. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 2020 reflected the contribution of increased net sales in our higher margin transportation business and the positive impact of leveraging fixed costs on higher sales volumes in our other distribution businesses.
Operating Income. Operating income in 2020 increased $15.4 million, or 40%, to $54.4 million from $39.0 million in 2019. The businesses acquired in 2020 contributed approximately $3.7 million to operating income in the Distribution segment in 2020. The overall improvement in operating income in 2020 primarily reflects the items discussed above.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
As presented in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, unallocated corporate expenses in 2020 increased $7.2 million, or 30%, to $30.7 million from $23.5 million in 2019. The increase in 2020 was mostly attributed to an increase in professional fees, administrative wages and incentive compensation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, which includes selling its products and collecting receivables, available cash reserves and borrowing capacity available under the 2019 Credit Facility (as defined below). Principal uses of cash are to support working capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support the Company's capital allocation strategy, which includes acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, among others.
Cash Flows
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to 2019
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities are one of the Company's primary sources of liquidity, representing the net income the Company earned in the reported periods, adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $32.2 million to $160.2 million in 2020 from $192.4 million in 2019 primarily due to: (i) an increase in cash used by inventories of $54.2 million, which is primarily due to an increase in inventories purchased at year end to support a strong increase in end market demand for our products and (ii) an increase in cash used by trade and other receivables of $35.0 million, primarily due to an increase in year end sales as well as the timing of collection of trade receivables. Partially offsetting the above increase in the use of operating cash flows were: (i) an increase in cash from prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and
other of $30.1 million; (ii) an increase in depreciation and amortization of $10.5 million; (iii) an increase in other operating items of $8.8 million and (iv) an increase in net income of $7.5 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $258.7 million to $337.9 million in 2020 from $79.2 million in 2019 primarily due to (i) an increase in cash used in business acquisitions of $250.0 million; an increase in capital expenditures of $4.4 million and (iii) a decrease in cash provided by proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and other investing activities of $4.1 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities increased $63.7 million to $83.0 million in 2020 from $19.3 million in 2019 primarily due to: (i) an increase in net borrowings of $135.0 million in 2020 compared to an increase in net borrowings of $43.9 million in 2019, due primarily to our use of the 2019 Revolver (as defined herein) to fund 2020 business acquisitions and (ii) a decrease in payments of deferred financing, debt issuance, contingent consideration and other of $9.9 million. These increases in cash from financing activities were partially offset by increases in cash paid for dividends and stock repurchases under our buyback program of $37.1 million.
See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a discussion of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018.
Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under its 2019 Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on its current cash flow budgets and forecast of short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
The ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the 2019 Credit Facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the credit agreement that established the 2019 Credit Facility (the "2019 Credit Agreement"). In 2020, the Company was in compliance with its financial debt covenants as required under the terms of the 2019 Credit Agreement. The required maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and the required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio compared to the actual amounts as of December 31, 2020 and for the fiscal year then ended are as follows:
Required Actual
Consolidated total leverage ratio (12-month period) 4.50 2.44
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (12-month period) 1.50 4.81
Working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV, MH and marine industries as well as the industrial markets we serve, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of customers. In the event that operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of the Company's capital resources were to become unavailable, the Company would seek to revise its operating strategies accordingly. The Company will continue to assess its liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.
Borrowings under the revolving credit loan (the "2019 Revolver") and the term loan (the "2019 Term Loan" and, together with the 2019 Revolver, the "2019 Credit Facility") established under the 2019 Credit Agreement, which are subject to variable rates of interest, are subject to a maximum total borrowing limit of $650.0 million (effective September 17, 2019). See Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on interest rate swaps used to partially hedge variable interest rates under the 2019 Revolver and 2019 Term Loan. The unused availability under the 2019 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 was $314.6 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations, and which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Although management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available when they are made. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other material accounting policies are described in Notes 1, 3 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates:
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company’s acquisitions include purchased goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets acquired are classified as customer relationships, non-compete agreements, patents and trademarks.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, representing acquired trademarks, are not amortized but are subject to an annual (or under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test in the fourth quarter based on their estimated fair value. We test more frequently, if there are indicators of impairment, or whenever such circumstances suggest that the carrying value of goodwill or trademarks may not be recoverable. These indicators include a sustained material decline in our share price and market capitalization, a decline in expected future cash flows, or a material adverse change in the business climate. A material adverse change in the business climate could result in a material loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth.
Impairment reviews of goodwill are performed at the reporting unit level. The Company’s reporting units are defined as one level below our operating segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, which are the same as our reportable segments. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, either a qualitative or quantitative assessment is performed. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative assessment. When estimating reporting unit fair value with the quantitative assessment, the Company uses a combination of market and income-based methodologies. The market approach includes a comparison of multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the reporting units to similar businesses or guideline companies whose securities are actively traded in public markets. When calculating the present value of future cash flows under the income approach, the Company takes into consideration multiple variables, including forecasted sales volumes and operating income, current industry and economic conditions, and historical results. The income approach fair value estimate also includes estimates of long-term growth rates and discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting units and internally-developed forecasts.
Impairment reviews of indefinite-lived intangible assets (trademarks) consist of a comparison of the fair value of the trademark to its carrying value. Fair value is measured using a relief-from-royalty approach, a form of discounted cash flow method. Estimated royalty rates applied to projected revenues are based on comparable industry studies and consideration of operating margins. Discount rates are derived in a manner similar to what is done in testing goodwill for impairment.
Based on the results of the Company's analyses, the estimated fair value of each of the Company's reporting units and trademarks was determined to exceed the carrying value for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 and so no impairments were recognized. Further, based on the results of the impairment analyses, none of
the Company’s reporting units or trademarks were at risk of failing the impairment assessments discussed above that would have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented.
See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding immaterial impairments recorded in 2020 unrelated to the annual goodwill and trademark tests.
Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist.
Business Combinations. From time to time, we may enter into business combinations. We recognize the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. We measure goodwill as the excess of consideration transferred, which we also measure at fair value, over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition method of accounting requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding the fair values of the elements of a business combination as of the date of acquisition, including the fair values of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, contingent consideration and other financial assets and liabilities. Significant estimates and assumptions include subjective and/or complex judgments regarding items such as discount rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, economic lives and other factors, including estimated future cash flows that we expect to generate from the acquired assets.
The acquisition method of accounting also requires us to refine these estimates over a measurement period not to exceed one year to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. If we are required to adjust provisional amounts that we have recorded for the fair values of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, these adjustments could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. No changes in fiscal 2020 to provisional fair value estimates of assets and liabilities assumed in acquisitions were material. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop the acquisition date fair value estimates, we could record future impairment charges. In addition, we estimate the economic lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If our estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be increased or decreased, or the acquired assets could be impaired.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Debt Obligations
At December 31, 2020, our total debt obligations under our 2019 Credit Agreement were under LIBOR-based interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the underlying LIBOR rates would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $1.7 million, assuming average borrowings, including the Term Loan, subject to variable rates of $167.5 million, which was the amount of such borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2020 subject to variable rates after taking into consideration interest rate swaps with a combined notional principal amount of $200 million.
Inflation
The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, particleboard, fiberglass, copper and aluminum, and petroleum-based products are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, such as the price of oil, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile and continued to fluctuate in 2020. During periods of rising commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass the increased costs to our customers in the form of surcharges and price increases. However, there can be no assurance future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases will match raw material cost increases. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and the Company’s management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the fair and reliable preparation and presentation of our published financial statements. We continually evaluate our system of internal control over financial reporting to determine if changes are appropriate based upon changes in our operations or the business environment in which we operate.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). This assessment included a review of the documentation of controls, an assessment of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls, and a conclusion on this evaluation. As permitted under SEC guidance, management’s
assessment of and conclusion regarding the design and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excluded the internal control over financial reporting of the operations of businesses acquired in 2020, which are described in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Businesses acquired in 2020 represented less than 3% of consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2020 and approximately 19% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, audited our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, as stated in their report in the section entitled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020 or subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
