INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, industry growth and projections, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for the common stock of Patrick Industries, Inc. (the “Company” or "Patrick") and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-K as well as other statements contained in the annual report and statements contained in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and publicly disseminated press releases, and statements which may be made from time to time in the future by management of the Company in presentations to shareholders, prospective investors, and others interested in the business and financial affairs of the Company, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are identified in the “Risk Factors” section of this Form 10-K as set forth in Part I, Item 1A. These factors include, without limitation, the impact of any economic downturns especially in the residential housing market, a decline in consumer confidence levels, pricing pressures due to competition, costs and availability of raw materials, the imposition of restrictions and taxes on imports of raw materials and components used in our products, information technology performance and security, the availability of commercial credit, the availability of retail and wholesale financing for residential and manufactured homes, the availability and costs of labor, inventory levels of retailers and manufacturers, the financial condition of our customers, retention and concentration of significant customers, the ability to generate cash flow or obtain financing to fund growth, future growth rates in the Company's core businesses, the seasonality and cyclicality in the industries to which our products are sold, realization and impact of efficiency improvements and cost reductions, the successful integration of acquisitions and other growth initiatives, increases in interest rates and oil and gasoline prices, adverse weather conditions impacting retail sales, our ability to remain in compliance with our credit agreement covenants, and general economic, market and political conditions. In addition, national and regional economic conditions may affect the retail sale of recreational vehicles and residential and manufactured housing. You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of various important factors, including those set forth in the reports and documents that the Company files with the SEC, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016
.
Any projections of financial performance or statements concerning expectations as to future developments should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results or developments will, in fact, occur. There can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly different from that set forth in such forward-looking statement. Patrick does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. See Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” below for further discussion.

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 Industries, Inc. was founded in 1959 and incorporated in the state of Indiana in 1961. Patrick is a major manufacturer of component products and distributor of building products and materials serving original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) primarily in the recreational vehicle (“RV”) and manufactured housing (“MH”) industries. The Company also supplies products to adjacent industrial markets, such as kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, marine, and other industrial markets. The majority of the Company’s industrial customers are generally directly linked to the residential housing markets. At December 31, 2016, Patrick maintained 56 manufacturing plants and 22 warehouse and distribution facilities in 16 states.
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 plants of its customers. The Manufacturing and Distribution segments accounted for 82% and 18% of the
3
Company’s consolidated net sales for 2016, respectively. Financial information about these operating segments is included in Note 17 to the 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 its business. Through strategic acquisitions, expansion geographically and into new product lines, investment in infrastructure and capital expenditures, Patrick seeks to ensure that its operating network contains both capacity and technology to support anticipated growth needs, to effectively respond to changes in inventory and sales levels, and to successfully integrate manufacturing, distribution and administrative functions.
The Company’s principal executive and administrative offices are located at 107 West Franklin Street, Elkhart, Indiana 46515; telephone number (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.

Recreational Vehicles
According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, as noted in its
December 2016 Recreation Vehicle Market Report (the "RVIA"), RV industry conditions continued to improve as 2016 marked the seventh consecutive annual increase in RV wholesale unit shipments. Total RV industry shipments rose 15% compared to 2015, with shipments reaching a total of 430,691 units. The principal types of recreational vehicles include (1) towables: conventional travel trailers, folding camping trailers, fifth wheel travel trailers, and truck campers; and (2) motorized: motor homes. The Company estimates that its mix of RV revenues related to towable units and motorized units is consistent with the overall RV production mix. In 2016 and 2015, towable and motorized unit shipments represented approximately 87% and 13%, respectively, of total RV wholesale shipments. The towable sector increased 15% in 2016 over the prior year and the motorized sector rose 16% per the RVIA.
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 RV market is primarily dominated by Thor Industries, Inc. ("Thor") and Forest River, Inc. ("Forest River") which combined held 86% of retail market share for towables and 63% for motorized units as reported per Statistical Surveys, Inc. for 2016 ("SSI").
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, the level of disposable income, and other demographic trends.
Demographic and ownership trends continue to point to favorable market growth in the long term, as there is a culture shift toward outdoor activities, with a large segment of the population’s “millennials” embracing this outdoor lifestyle and entering into the RV marketplace. In addition, the number of “baby-boomers” reaching retirement age is steadily increasing, and the RV owning population in the 35-54 year-old demographic continues to grow.
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” 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. Major MH customers include Clayton Homes, Cavco Industries, Inc., and Champion Home Builders
.
In the aggregate, these manufacturers produced 65% of MH market retail unit shipments in 2016 per SSI.
Although wholesale unit shipments have increased in the MH industry from a low of approximately 50,000 units in 2009 to 81,169 units in 2016, they are still trending well below historical levels. While sales growth in the MH industry continues to be constrained by the lack of financing alternatives and credit availability in the short term, the Company believes there is significant upside potential for this market in the long term based upon current demographic trends, including multi-family housing capacity, new home pricing, improving credit and financing conditions, and improved consumer savings levels.
Factors that may favorably impact production levels in this industry include quality credit standards in the residential housing market, job growth, favorable changes in financing regulations, higher interest rates on traditional residential housing loans, and improved conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.
Detailed narrative information about the Company’s sales to the MH industry is included in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-K.
Industrial Markets
The Company estimates that approximately 50% of its industrial net sales in 2016 was associated with the U.S. residential housing market. The Company believes that there is a direct correlation between the demand for its 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 six to nine months and will vary based on differences in regional economic prospects.
Many of Patrick's core manufacturing products are also utilized in the kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, and marine 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
5
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 shown signs of improvement across the country and that trend is expected to continue in 2017.
Strategic Acquisitions
The Company is focused on driving growth in each of 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 three 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.
From 2014 to 2016, the Company invested approximately $351 million to complete 14 acquisitions involving 19 companies, which directly complemented its core competencies and product lines. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K for a description of the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.
In 2016, the Company invested approximately $139 million to complete seven acquisitions involving eight companies:
|

The combined net purchase price for Sigma/KRA was $26.1 million.
|
Competition
The RV and MH industries are highly competitive, both among manufacturers and the suppliers of RV and MH 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, 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. The industrial markets that it serves are also highly competitive.
6
Operations
Capacity
Patrick has the ability to fill demand for certain products in excess of capacity at certain facilities by shifting production to other facilities. Capital expenditures for 2016 consisted of $15.4 million of investments to upgrade facilities, 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.
Plant Expansions
The Company focused on facility and capacity expansions in 2016 to align with core OEM expansions. With this focus, the Company capitalized 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 by:
|
•
|
Opening a new solid surface countertop manufacturing facility in Southern California;
|
|
•
|
Opening two new facilities in the Pacific Northwest, in Oregon and Idaho, to provide laminated products and interior doors;
|
|
•
|
Opening a new countertop manufacturing facility in Mississippi; and
|
|
•
|
Increasing capacity and footprint in Pennsylvania to support growing industrial market opportunities in the Northeast.
|
In 2017, the Company plans to continue to focus on expansion and efficiency efforts with current plans to open a new softwoods operations in Texas and a fiberglass operation in California.
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
In March 2016, the Company opened
The Studio,
its new Design/Innovation Center and Showroom located in Elkhart, Indiana.
The Studio

Patrick has no material patents, licenses, franchises, or concessions and does not conduct significant research and development activities.
Marketing and Distribution
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had over 1,100 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. Each of Forest River and Thor has multiple businesses and brands that operate independently under the parent company and therefore, 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 60% and 61% of our consolidated net sales, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 18% and 19% of the Company's distribution segment’s sales were from products shipped directly from the suppliers to Patrick customers in 2016 and 2015, 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 significant 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. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased approximately 46% of its raw materials and distributed products from 20 different suppliers. The five largest suppliers accounted for approximately 22% of the Company's total purchases.
Raw materials are primarily commodity products, such as lauan, gypsum
,
particleboard and other lumber products, aluminum, 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 advanced estimation of customer orders. Its sales in the short-term could be negatively impacted in the event any unforeseen negative circumstances were to affect its 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 from quarter-to-quarter.
The Company continually explores alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from outside the United States ("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 uses to produce products for its customers in the RV marketplace have been certified as to compliance
8
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 it 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 and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the climate 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 September/October timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. This has resulted in seasonal softening in the RV industry beginning in the third quarter and extending through October, resulting in a seasonal trend pattern in which the Company achieves its strongest sales and profit levels in the first half of the year. In addition, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different from prior years due to the impact of national regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components.

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.
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 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.
10
Sales in the RV and MH industries historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the climate is moderate. However, seasonal industry trends in the past several years have differed from prior years, primarily due to volatile economic conditions, fluctuations in RV dealer inventories, changing dealer show schedules, interest rates, access to financing, the cost of fuel, and increased demand from RV dealers. Consequently, future seasonal trends may differ from prior years. In addition, unusually severe weather conditions may impact the timing of industry-wide shipments from one period to another and lead to unanticipated fluctuations in our operating results.
If the financial condition of our customers and suppliers deteriorate, 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.
Although we have a large number of customers,
our sales are significantly 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 60% of our consolidated net sales in 2016. 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 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 significant 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 both 2015 and 2016, the Company's net sales to the RV industry were approximately 75% 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, as well as consumer confidence which was above historical averages in 2016. Future declines in RV unit shipment levels or reductions in industry growth could significantly reduce the Company’s revenue from the RV industry and have a material adverse impact on its operating results in 2017 and other future periods.
The manufactured housing and recreational vehicle 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 geographic 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 and MH 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.
The greater financial resources or the lower level of debt or financial leverage of certain of our competitors may enable them to commit larger amounts of capital in response to changing market conditions. 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 and MH industries, we could lose customers and sales could decline, or we may not be
11
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 to obtain retail financing for RVs and manufactured homes, resulting in reduced demand for our products.
Restrictions on the availability of consumer financing for RVs and manufactured homes and increases in the costs of such financing have in the past limited, and could again limit, the ability of consumers to purchase RVs and manufactured homes, which would result in reduced production of RVs and manufactured homes 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 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 significant long-term decline in shipments, which has led to reduced demand for our products.
Our MH Segment, which accounted for 13% of consolidated net sales for 2016, operates in an industry which has experienced a significant 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 financial crisis. Although industry-wide wholesale production of manufactured homes has improved somewhat in recent years, 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 industry 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 significantly 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 industry as a whole in the past and could have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.
We are dependent on third-party suppliers and manufacturers.
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 cannot effectively manage the challenges and risks associated with doing business internationally, our revenues and profitability may suffer.
We purchase a significant portion of our raw materials and other supplies from suppliers located in Indonesia, China and Malaysia. 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 United States 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
12
we do business due to a health epidemic or outbreak 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. Recently, the new White House administration, certain members of Congress and key policy makers have suggested the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. In addition, the new administration has suggested the adoption of other laws to implement tariffs, border taxes, or other measures that could impact the level of trade between the U.S., Mexico and China. Any such proposals or 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.
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, 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.
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 manufacturing facilities, we are experiencing shortages of qualified employees, which negatively impacted our cost of goods sold in 2016. Labor shortages and continued competition for qualified employees may increase, especially during improving economic times, the cost of our labor and create employee retention and recruitment challenges, as employees with knowledge and experience have the ability to change employers more easily.
If demand 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 significant 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 significant 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 significantly 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.
13
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 its administrative, financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, 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, 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, significant unexpected liabilities could arise from these acquisitions.
Our level of indebtedness could limit our operational flexibility and harm our financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2016, we had $273.2 million of total long-term debt outstanding under our $360.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2015 Credit Facility”) that was established pursuant to our current credit agreement, as amended (the “2015 Credit Agreement”).
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 increasing 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 2015 Credit Agreement contains various financial performance and other covenants. If we do not remain in compliance with these covenants, our 2015 Credit Agreement could be terminated and the amounts outstanding thereunder could become immediately due and payable.
We have debt outstanding that contains 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 2015 Credit Agreement. 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. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our 2015 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 2015 Credit Facility to finance our operating requirements, capital expenditures and other needs. If a significant economic recession occurred, such as the recession that impacted the economy in 2007-2010, production of RVs and manufactured homes could decline, 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 2015 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.
14
We have letters of credit representing collateral for our casualty insurance programs and for general operating purposes that have been issued under our 2015 Credit Agreement. The inability to retain our current letters of credit, to obtain alternative letter of credit sources, or to retain our 2015 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.
If we are unable to manage our inventory, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected.
Our customers generally do not maintain long-term supply contracts and, therefore, we must bear the risk of advanced estimation of 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 67% of our total assets as of December 31, 2016 was comprised of goodwill, other intangible 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 our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment include changes in our estimated future cash flows, changes in rates of growth in our industry or in any of our reporting units, 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. Significant impairment charges, although not always affecting current cash flow, could have a material effect on our operating results and financial position.
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 significantly, independent of our actual operating performance. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
|
•
|
variations in our and our competitors’ operating results;
|
|
•
|
high concentration of shares held by institutional investors;
|
|
•
|
announcements by us or our competitors of significant 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 significant 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.
|
If our information technology systems fail to perform adequately, our operations could be disrupted and could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operation
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, experience data loss or theft and
15
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 significant technology investments to maintain and update our existing computer systems. Implementing significant 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 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 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. On February 3, 2017, certain personally identifiable employee information for all of the Company's current and former employees for calendar year 2016 was inadvertently disclosed to an unauthorized individual or individuals as the result of a targeted email phishing message. The Company currently carries insurance to cover its exposure to this type of incident. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant 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 significant data security breaches or fail to detect and appropriately respond to significant data security breaches, we could be exposed to costly government enforcement actions and private litigation and our business and operating results could suffer.
We are required to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. Such report contains, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. Each year we must prepare or update the process documentation and perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. During this process, if our management identifies one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that such internal control is effective. Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. We and our independent auditors may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need further attention and improvement, particularly with respect to any businesses that we decide to acquire in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Investor perception that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely, consistent basis may adversely affect our stock price. Failure to comply with Section 404 could also potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, NASDAQ, or other regulatory authorities.
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 each 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.
16
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.

|
Represents an owned building, formerly used for manufacturing and distribution that is currently leased to a third party on a month-to-month basis.
|
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2015 Credit Agreement, all of its owned facilities are subject to a mortgage and security interest. In addition, there is one contract warehouse located in Minnesota that houses certain distribution inventory. Remuneration to the third party owner of this facility consists of a percentage of Patrick's sales from this facility in exchange for storage space and delivery services.
The Company's leased properties have expiration dates ranging from 2017 - 2021. Patrick believes the facilities occupied as of
December 31, 2016
are adequate for the purposes for which they are currently being used and are well-maintained. The Company may, as part of its strategic operating plan, further consolidate and/or close certain owned facilities and, may not renew leases on property with near-term lease expirations. Use of its manufacturing facilities may vary with seasonal, economic, and other business conditions.
|
ITEM 3.
|
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|
Patrick is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business.

Overview of Markets and Related Industry Performance
Fiscal
2016
reflected a continuation of solid growth in the RV market with wholesale demand of both towable and motorized units growing by 15%. The MH market also experienced strong year-over-year wholesale industry growth of 15%. The Company estimates that approximately 50% of the Company's industrial revenue base was tied to residential housing where residential housing starts were up 6% over 2015. Overall, the Company has continued to capture market share through its strategic acquisitions, line extensions, and the introduction of new and innovative products, which resulted in its
2016
sales levels increasing beyond the general industry results.
RV Industry
The RV industry, which is the Company's primary market and comprised
75%
of the Company’s
2016
sales, continued to strengthen as evidenced by higher original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") production levels and wholesale unit shipments versus the prior year. According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), as noted in its December 2016 Market Report, wholesale shipment levels reached
430,691
units in
2016
, representing an increase of approximately
15%
versus
2015
and marking the seventh consecutive annual increase in RV wholesale unit shipments.
In the towables sector, wholesale shipments of travel trailers, which represent approximately 75% of the towable market, increased 18% over 2015, as noted in the RVIA's December 2016 Market Report. In addition, shipment levels of the larger, more expensive units, particularly in the fifth wheel sector, which represents approximately 21% of the towable market, grew 7% versus 2015. In the motorized market, Class A wholesale shipments, representing 41% of all motorized units shipped and the most expensive of the class on average, grew 3% year-over-year. Class Bs and Cs, which represent smaller, less expensive motorized units and approximately 59% of all motorized units shipped, increased 26% versus 2015.
Retail trends were generally strong in 2016 as combined domestic and Canadian retail unit sales for 2016 were up 10% year-over-year. Domestic RV retail unit sales, which represented 90% of overall retail sales for 2016, were up 13% versus 2015, while Canadian retail sales continued to be depressed as evidenced by a decline in retail shipments of approximately 12% for the same period, as noted per Statistical Surveys, Inc. ("SSI") for 2016. As it relates to the correlation between retail inventories and overall production levels, industry reports and dealer surveys continue to indicate that RV dealer inventory levels are in line with retail demand.
With wholesale unit shipments to the RV industry in 2016 surpassing all prior production peaks, the Company continues to believe the future looks promising for the RV industry based on a number of factors including:
|
•
|
Positive industry demographic trends with younger buyers entering the market and an increasing number of baby boomers reaching retirement age;
|
|
•
|
Readily available financing;
|
|
•
|
New and innovative products coming to market;
|
|
•
|
Increased strength in the overall economic environment; and
|
|
•
|
Value of the RV lifestyle related to spending quality time with families.
|
The Company believes continued growth in 2017 in industry-wide retail sales and the related production levels of RVs will be dependent on the overall perception of the economy, consumer confidence levels, the domestic political and governmental environment, and equity securities market trends. On a macroeconomic level, as consumer confidence has generally trended higher over the last six to seven years, there has been a consistent trend of year-over-year increases in RV shipments for the same time period.
MH Industry
Sales growth in the MH industry, which represented approximately
13%
of the Company’s
2016
sales, experienced strong year-over-year unit growth of approximately
15%
according to the Manufactured Housing Institute (the "MHI"). There continues to be pockets of strength, particularly in the southeast region of the country, which represents approximately 36% of the MH market and was up approximately 18% over 2015. The southwest region, which comprises another 29% of the market, increased approximately 11% year-over-year.
The Company believes there is pent up demand being created and significant upside potential for this market in the long-term based on current demographic trends including:
23
|
•
|
Multi-family housing capacity;
|
|
•
|
New home pricing;
|
|
•
|
Improving credit and financing conditions; and
|
|
•
|
Improved consumer savings levels.
|
The Company believes it is well positioned to capitalize on the upside potential of the MH market, especially given the combination of its nationwide geographic footprint, available capacity in its current MH concentrated locations, and its current content per unit levels.
Factors that may favorably impact production levels further in this industry include quality credit standards in the residential housing market, job growth, favorable changes in financing regulations, higher interest rates on traditional residential housing loans, and improved conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.
Industrial Market
The industrial market is comprised primarily of the kitchen cabinet, retail and commercial fixture market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors. This market is primarily impacted by macroeconomic conditions and more specifically, conditions in the residential housing market. Sales to the industrial markets represented 12% of the Company's 2016 sales, and grew 44% over 2015 sales levels reflecting the expansion into new commercial markets, the introduction of new product lines related to acquisitions and new product development, and the penetration of adjacent markets and new geographic regions. The Company estimates approximately 50% its industrial revenue base was directly tied to the residential housing market in
2016
with the remaining half tied mainly to the retail fixture, office and commercial furnishings markets. The Company believes there is a direct correlation between the demand for its products in the residential housing market and new residential housing construction and remodeling activities. Sales to the industrial market generally lag new residential housing starts by six to nine months. New housing starts in
2016
increased approximately
6%
compared to
2015
(as reported in a U.S. Department of Commerce news release dated February 16, 2017). In addition, the Company's sales in
2016
benefited from continued market share gains, particularly in the commercial and institutional fixtures markets.
The Company believes that projected continued low interest rates, overall expected economic improvement, and pent up demand are some of the drivers that will continue to positively impact the housing industry for the next several years.
In order to offset some of the impacts of the weakness in the residential housing market in recent years, the Company has focused on diversification efforts, strategic acquisitions, and increased penetration into the commercial and multi-family housing markets with the addition of new sales territories and personnel. Additionally, the Company has targeted certain sales efforts towards market segments that are less directly tied to new single and multi-family home construction, including the marine, retail fixture, office, medical, and institutional furnishings, and countertop markets. As a result, the Company has seen a shift in its product mix, which has had a positive impact on revenue from the industrial markets.

Fiscal Year
2017
Outlook
The three primary markets Patrick serves experienced steady growth in 2016, which the Company expects to continue into 2017. While the ongoing trend involving a shift in buying patterns towards smaller and more moderately priced towables and motorized units continues to moderately impact the Company's overall dollar content per unit growth in the short-term, the Company views this shift as a positive indicator of a broadening consumer base and an opportunity for long-term industry growth. In addition, the Company anticipates a further increase in production levels in the MH industry in 2017, reflecting improvement in the overall economy and consistent with the improvement in single-family residential housing starts. The National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”) (per their housing and interest rate forecast as of February 3, 2017) is currently forecasting an approximate 6% year-over-year increase in new housing starts in 2017 compared to 2016.
We will continue to review our operations on a regular basis, balance appropriate risks and opportunities, and maximize efficiencies to support the Company’s long-term strategic growth goals. Our team remains focused on strategic acquisitions in our existing, similar or complementary businesses, expanding operations in targeted regional territories, capturing market share and increasing our per unit content, keeping costs aligned with revenue, maximizing operating efficiencies, talent management, and the execution of our organizational strategic agenda.
In conjunction with our organizational strategic agenda, we will continue to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage our operating platform, and we will continue to work to strengthen and broaden customer relationships and meet customer demands with the highest quality service and the goal of continually exceeding our customers’ expectations. The current capital plan for full year 2017 includes expenditures of approximately $16.0 million related primarily to facility expansion costs outside of our core Midwest market, strategic replacement and upgrading of production equipment to improve efficiencies and increase capacity, and other strategic capital and maintenance improvements. We will continue to assess our capital expenditure needs given market demands and make adjustments where necessary to address capacity constraints within the Company's operations.

Net Sales.
Net sales in
2016
increased
$301.6 million
or
33%
, to
$1.2 billion
from
$920.3 million
in
2015
. The
increase
was attributable to a
32%
increase
in the Company’s revenues from the RV industry, a
26%
increase
in revenues from the MH industry, and a
44%
increase
in revenues from the industrial markets. The revenue increase largely reflected the revenue contribution of the 2016 acquisitions and the incremental revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2015. In 2016 and 2015, revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in each of those periods was $92.3 million and $101.1 million, respectively. The sales
increase
in
2016
is also attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries; and (iii) improved residential housing starts in the overall market.
26
Partially offsetting revenue growth in
2016
, was the continued mix shift towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced RV units, which the RV industry started to experience in the second quarter of 2015, particularly related to travel trailers in the towable sector of the industry, which negatively impacted content per unit growth. The Company’s RV content per unit for
2016
increased
15%
to
$2,126
from
$1,845
in
2015
. The MH content per unit for the full year
2016
increased
8%
to
$1,966
from
$1,825
in
2015
. Organic growth in the Company's RV content per unit began to improve in the third quarter of 2016 with the anniversary of the mix shift noted above, as well as strong growth in shipments of fifth wheels which have higher per unit content.
Wholesale unit shipments in the RV industry, which represented approximately
75%
of the Company’s sales in
2016
, increased approximately
15%
compared to
2015
. Wholesale unit shipments to the MH industry, which represented
13%
of the Company’s
2016
sales, increased approximately
15%
compared to
2015
. The industrial market sector accounted for approximately
12%
of the Company’s sales in
2016
. The Company estimates that approximately 50% of its industrial revenue base is directly tied to the residential housing market, which experienced a 6% increase in new housing starts, as reported in a U.S. Department of Commerce news release dated February 16, 2017.
Cost of Goods Sold.
Cost of goods sold
increase
d
$251.4 million
or
33%
, to
$1.0 billion
in
2016
from
$768.1 million
in
2015
. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
decreased
slightly during
2016
to
83.4%
from
83.5%
in
2015
.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was positively impacted during
2016
by: (i) increased revenue relative to overall fixed overhead costs; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during
2016
and
2015
and the addition of new higher margin product lines; (iii) workflow changes designed to automate certain processes, improve efficiencies, and expand capacity; and (iv) the realization of operating synergies. Offsetting these positive factors was the impact of unseasonably strong RV wholesale shipments in excess of expected seasonal demand patterns in the second half of 2016, the operational complexities related to the model year changeovers which generated certain internal capacity constraints and labor inefficiencies due to overtime and employee turnover, particularly in Patrick's Midwest facilities, and to a lesser extent, higher health insurance costs.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit increased
$50.2 million
or
33%
, to
$202.5 million
in
2016
from
$152.3 million
in
2015
. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit
increase
d slightly to
16.6%
in
2016
from
16.5%
in
2015
. The improvement in gross profit dollars and as a percentage of net sales in
2016
compared to
2015
reflected the positive impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”, including the positive contribution to gross profit of acquisition-related revenue growth as noted above.
Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of the Company's RV, MH, and industrial businesses include the costs of commodities used to manufacture products and the competitive environment that can cause gross margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.
Warehouse and Delivery Expenses.
Warehouse and delivery expenses
increase
d
$9.0 million
or
33%
, to
$36.1 million
in
2016
from
$27.1 million
in
2015
. The expense increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were
3.0%
in
2016
and
2.9%
in
2015
.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses.
SG&A expenses
increase
d
$15.7 million
or
34%
, to
$62.2 million
in
2016
from
$46.5 million
in
2015
. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were
5.1%
in
2016
and
5.0%
in
2015
. The net increase in SG&A expenses in
2016
compared to
2015
primarily reflected the impact of additional headcount and administrative expenses associated with recent acquisitions and increased stock-based and incentive compensation expense designed to attract and retain key employees.
Amortization of Intangible Assets.
Amortization of intangible assets increased
$4.6 million
in
2016
compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in
2015
and in
2016
. In the aggregate, in conjunction with the
2015
and
2016
acquisitions, the Company recognized $103.5 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 10 years.
Operating Income.
Operating income

d
$20.9 million
or
30%

$90.8 million
in
2016
from
$69.9 million
in

2016
and
2015
included $10.3 million and $11.8 million, respectively, related to the acquisitions completed in each such year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales
decrease
d from
7.6%
in
2015
to
7.4%
in
2016
. The change in operating income and operating margin is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.
Interest Expense, Net.
Interest expense increased
$2.9 million
to
$7.2 million
in
2016
from
$4.3 million
in
2015
reflecting increased borrowings primarily to fund acquisitions and increased working capital needs in
2016
.
27
Income Taxes.
The Company recorded income taxes at a full year blended rate of 33.6% for
2016
and 35.6% for
2015
. The reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the reclassification of $1.3 million of excess tax benefits related to the exercise or vesting of share-based payment awards in the first nine months of 2016, that were previously recorded in additional paid-in capital upon realization, as a reduction to income tax expense. The reclassification resulted from the Company's adoption of a new accounting standard as described in the "Stock Compensation" section of Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's combined effective income tax rate from period to period and for the full year
2017
could further fluctuate due to: (i) refinements in federal and state income tax estimates, which are impacted by the availability of tax credits; (ii) permanent differences impacting the effective tax rate; (iii) shifts in apportionment factors among states as a result of recent acquisition activity and other factors; and (iv) the timing of the recognition of excess tax benefits related to the vesting of share-based payments awards as previously discussed.
In 2016 and
2015
, the Company realized approximately $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of additional taxable deductions related to excess benefits on share-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014. In 2016, these tax benefits were recorded as a reduction to income tax expense upon realization in relation to the adoption of the share-based payment awards accounting standard. In 2015, such tax benefits were recorded to additional paid-in capital upon realization as required under the previous issued accounting standard.
From a tax perspective, the Company had various state net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $0.7 million at
December 31, 2015
, of which approximately $0.3 million were remaining to be utilized as of
December 31, 2016
. The state NOLs were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax provision for
2016
and
2015
. In
2016
and
2015
, the Company made quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual
2016
and
2015
federal and state income tax liability.
Net Income.
Net income for
2016
was
$55.6 million
or
$3.64
per diluted share compared to
$42.2 million
or
$2.72
per diluted share for
2015
. The changes in net income for
2016
reflected the impact of the items previously discussed, while the change in net income per diluted share also reflects a reduction in diluted shares outstanding in
2016
compared to
2015
as a result of the Company’s share repurchase program.
Year Ended December 31, 2015
Compared to 2014
Net Sales.
Net sales in 2015 increased $184.6 million or 25%, to $920.3 million from $735.7 million in 2014. The increase was attributable to a 26% increase in the Company’s revenues from the RV industry, an 18% increase in revenues from the MH industry, and a 27% increase in revenues from the industrial markets. Approximately $176.9 million of the revenue increase reflected the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2015 and the incremental revenue contributions of the 2014 acquisitions.
The sales increase in 2015 is also primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) improved office and institutional furnishings and retail and commercial fixtures sales in the industrial market; (iii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries; and (iv) improved residential housing starts. Our sales to the industrial market sector, which is primarily tied to the residential housing and commercial and retail fixture markets, generally lag new residential housing starts by approximately six to nine months.
Partially offsetting this revenue growth in 2015 was the mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units in both the towables and motorized sectors of the industry, which negatively impacted content per unit growth, and price declines in certain more commodity-oriented raw materials passed on to customers that we utilize in our manufacturing processes. The Company’s RV content per unit for 2015 increased 20% to $1,845 from $1,536 in 2014. The MH content per unit for the full year 2015 increased 8% to $1,825 from $1,692 in 2014.
The RV industry, which represented approximately 75% of the Company’s sales in 2015, saw wholesale unit shipments increase by approximately 5% compared to 2014. The MH industry, which represented 14% of the Company’s 2015 sales, experienced a 10% increase in wholesale unit shipments compared to 2014. The industrial market sector accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s sales in 2015. We estimate that approximately 50% of our industrial revenue base was directly tied to the residential housing market, which experienced an increase in new housing starts of approximately 11% in 2015 compared to 2014 (as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce).
Cost of Goods Sold.
Cost of goods sold increased $150.9 million or 24%, to $768.1 million in 2015 from $617.2 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased during 2015 to 83.5% from 83.9% in 2014.
28
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was positively impacted during 2015 by: (i) increased revenues relative to our overall fixed overhead costs; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2015 and 2014 and the addition of new higher margin product lines; and (iii) ongoing process changes that primarily improved material yields and resulted in the realization of operating synergies.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit increased $33.8 million or 29%, to $152.3 million in 2015 from $118.5 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 16.5% in 2015 from 16.1% in 2014. The improvement in gross profit dollars and as a percentage of net sales in 2015 compared to 2014 reflected the positive impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”, including the positive contribution to gross profit of acquisition-related revenue growth as noted above.
Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of our RV, MH, and industrial businesses included the costs of commodities used to manufacture our products and the competitive environment that can cause gross margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.
Warehouse and Delivery Expenses.
Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $0.9 million or 4%, to $27.1 million in 2015 from $26.2 million in 2014. The expense increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes.
As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 2.9% in 2015 and 3.6% in 2014. The decrease as a percentage of net sales primarily reflected: (i) the impact of market share gains related to increased direct ship business in our Distribution segment; (ii) a reduction in fuel costs; (iii) the impact of acquisitions completed in 2014 and 2015 with lower delivery expenses as a percentage of net sales when compared to the consolidated percentage; and (iv) more efficient utilization per delivery truckload.
SG&A Expenses.
SG&A expenses increased $10.1 million or 28%, to $46.5 million in 2015 from $36.4 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.0% in 2015 and 4.9% in 2014. The net increase in SG&A expenses in 2015 compared to 2014 primarily reflected the impact of additional headcount and administrative expenses associated with recent acquisitions and increased stock-based and incentive compensation expense designed to attract and retain key employees.
Amortization of Intangible Assets.
Amortization of intangible assets increased $4.3 million in 2015 compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in 2014 and in 2015. In the aggregate, in conjunction with the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions, the Company recognized $73.1 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 10 years.
Operating Income.
Operating income increased $18.4 million or 36% to $69.9 million in 2015 from $51.5 million in 2014. Operating income in 2015 and 2014 included $11.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, related to the acquisitions completed in each such year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased from 7.0% in 2014 to 7.6% in 2015. The change in operating income and operating margin was primarily attributable to the items discussed above.
Interest Expense, Net.
Interest expense increased $1.9 million to $4.3 million in 2015 from $2.4 million in 2014 reflecting increased borrowings primarily to fund acquisitions and increased working capital needs in 2015.
Income Taxes.
The Company recorded income taxes at a full year blended rate of 35.6% for 2015 and 37.5% for 2014. The reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to R&D tax credits of approximately $1.0 million that were realized in 2015 with no comparable amount in 2014. In 2015 and 2014, the Company realized approximately $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of additional taxable deductions related to excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013. These tax benefits were recorded to shareholders’ equity upon realization in 2015 and 2014.
From a tax perspective, the Company had various state net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $1.6 million at December 31, 2014, of which approximately $0.7 million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2015. The state NOLs were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax provision for 2015 and 2014. In 2015 and 2014, the Company made quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual 2015 and 2014 federal and state income tax liability.
Net Income.
Net income for 2015 was $42.2 million or $2.72 per diluted share compared to $30.7 million or $1.91 per diluted share for 2014. The changes in net income for 2015 reflected the impact of the items previously discussed, while the change in net income per diluted share also reflected a reduction in diluted shares outstanding in 2015 compared to 2014 as a result of the Company’s share repurchase program.

Manufacturing
Sales.
Sales increased
$282.0 million
or
38%
, to
$1.0 billion
from
$738.4 million
in
2015
. This segment accounted for approximately
82%
of the Company’s consolidated net sales in
2016
. The sales increase reflected a
40%
,
42%
and
27%
increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.
The revenue increase largely reflected the revenue contribution of the acquisitions completed in 2016 and the incremental revenue contributions of the 2015 acquisitions. In 2016 and 2015, revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in each of those periods was $74.0 million and $101.1 million, respectively. The sales
increase
in
2016
is also primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in both the RV and MH industries of
15%
in
2016
; and (iii) improved residential housing starts in the overall market. Partially offsetting revenue growth in
2016
, was the continued mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units, which the RV industry started to experience in the second quarter of 2015, particularly related to travel trailers in the towable sector of the industry, which negatively impacted content per unit growth.

Gross Profit.
Gross profit increased
$44.5 million
to
$166.8 million
in
2016
from
$122.3 million
in
2015
. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
decrease
d to
16.3%
in
2016
from
16.6%
in
2015
. The overall decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales primarily reflected the impact of RV wholesale shipments in excess of expected seasonal demand patterns in the second half of 2016, which when combined with the operational complexities related to the model year changeovers, generated certain internal capacity constraints and labor inefficiencies due to overtime and employee turnover, particularly in Patrick's Midwest facilities. In addition, gross profit dollars and as a percentage of sales for 2016 benefited from: (i) the addition of new, higher margin product lines; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2015 and 2016; and (iii) higher revenue relative to overall fixed overhead costs.
Operating Income.
Operating income increased
$28.5 million
to
$107.1 million
in
2016
from
$78.6 million
in
2015
. Operating income in
2016
included $9.5 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in
2016
. Operating income in 2015 attributable to acquisitions completed in
2015
was $11.8 million. The improvement in operating income primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above.
Distribution
Sales.
Sales increased
$25.1 million
or
12%
, to
$227.6 million
in
2016
from
$202.5 million
in
2015
. This segment accounted for approximately
18%
of the Company’s consolidated net sales for
2016
. The sales
increase
largely reflected an increase in the Company's revenue from the industrial markets.
The 2016 acquisition of Progressive contributed approximately $18.3 million to total sales in the Distribution segment in 2016. The acquisitions completed in 2015 were all related to the Manufacturing segment, and therefore there was no impact from these acquisitions on revenues in the Distribution segment. The sales improvement in
2016
also reflected: (i) the positive impact of increased market penetration; and (ii) a
15%
increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit increased
$6.7 million
to
$38.3 million
in
2016
from
$31.6 million
in
2015
. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was
16.8%
in
2016
compared to
15.6%
in
2015
. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales for
2016
is primarily attributable to the strategic exit of certain negative or lower margin product lines within several of the Company's distribution businesses.
Operating Income.
Operating income in
2016
increase
d
$2.2 million
to
$15.0 million
from
$12.8 million
in
2015
. The acquisition of Progressive contributed approximately $0.8 million to total operating income in the Distribution segment in 2016. The acquisitions completed in 2015 were all related to the Manufacturing segment, and therefore there was no impact to operating income from these acquisitions in the Distribution segment. The improvement in operating income primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses in
2016
increased
$5.2 million
to
$17.9 million
from
$12.7 million
in
2015
. Unallocated corporate expenses in
2016
included the impact of increased stock-based compensation expense in
2016
of approximately
$1.8 million
and an increase in administrative wages, incentives and payroll taxes, and additional headcount associated with the 2015 and 2016 acquisitions.
Year Ended December 31, 2015
Compared to 2014
Manufacturing
Sales.
Sales increased $171.2 million or 30%, to $738.4 million from $567.2 million in 2014. This segment accounted for approximately 78% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2015. The sales increase reflected a 33%, 25% and 28% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.
Approximately $160.1 million of the revenue improvement in 2015 was attributable to the 2015 acquisitions and to the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2014. The remaining sales increase of $11.1 million was primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV, MH and industrial market penetration; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries of 5% and 10% in 2015, respectively; and (iii) improved retail and commercial fixtures and furniture business in the industrial markets. Partially offsetting this revenue growth was the mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units, which negatively impacted content per unit growth, and price declines in certain more commodity-oriented raw materials passed on to customers that the Company utilizes in its manufacturing processes.
31
Gross Profit.
Gross profit increased $32.3 million to $122.3 million in 2015 from $90.0 million in 2014. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 16.6% in 2015 from 15.9% in 2014. Gross profit for 2015 improved primarily as a result of: (i) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2014 and 2015 and the addition of new, higher margin product lines; (ii) higher revenue relative to overall fixed overhead costs; and (iii) ongoing process changes that primarily increased material yields and resulted in the realization of operating synergies.
Operating Income.
Operating income increased $22.8 million to $78.6 million in 2015 from $55.8 million in 2014. Operating income in 2015 included $11.8 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in 2015. Operating income in 2014 attributable to acquisitions completed in 2014 was $1.4 million. The improvement in operating income primarily reflected the increase in gross profit mentioned above in addition to a reduction in fuel costs and more efficient utilization per delivery truckload. Higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in 2015, which reflected the incremental impact of acquisitions completed in 2014 and increased sales, salaried and administration spending to support expected growth, partially offset the operating income improvement over 2014.
Distribution
Sales.
Sales increased $13.1 million or 7%, to $202.5 million in 2015 from $189.4 million in 2014. This segment accounted for approximately 22% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2015. The sales increase reflected a 5%, 9%, and 19% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV, MH, and industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.
The 2015 acquisitions and the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2014 were responsible for approximately $16.8 million of revenue improvement in 2015. The sales improvement in 2015 also reflected: (i) the positive impact of increased market penetration; (ii) revenue due to additional direct ship distribution business added in the latter half of 2014 in the MH market; and (iii) a 10% increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry. Partially offsetting this revenue growth in 2015 was the mix shift in the RV industry towards a larger concentration of entry level and lower priced units.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit increased $2.5 million to $31.6 million in 2015 from $29.1 million in 2014. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 15.6% in 2015 compared to 15.3% in 2014. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales for 2015 was primarily attributable to leveraging fixed costs on higher sales volumes.
Operating Income.
Operating income in 2015 increased $2.1 million to $12.8 million from $10.7 million in 2014. Operating income attributable to acquisitions completed in 2014 was $1.7 million. The acquisitions completed in 2015 were all related to the manufacturing segment, therefore, there was no impact to operating income in the distribution segment. The improvement in operating income primarily reflected the increase in gross profit mentioned above in addition to a reduction in fuel costs and more efficient utilization per delivery truckload.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses in 2015 increased $2.2 million to $12.7 million from $10.5 million in 2014. Unallocated corporate expenses in 2015 included the impact of increased stock-based compensation expense in 2015 of approximately $1.4 million. Unallocated corporate expenses in 2015 included the impact of an increase in administrative wages, incentives and payroll taxes, and additional headcount associated with the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operations represent the net income the Company earned in the reported periods adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Its primary source of liquidity have been cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under the 2015 Credit Facility (as defined herein). The 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, and repurchases of the Company's common stock, among others.
Net cash provided by operating activities was
$97.1 million
in
2016
compared to
$66.9 million
in
2015
. Net income was
$55.6 million
in
2016
compared to
$42.2 million
in the prior year. Net of acquisitions, trade receivables decreased
$11.3 million
in
2016
compared to a
$9.0 million
decrease in
2015
, reflecting the impact of plant shutdowns by certain of its larger customers in
32
the latter part of December
2016
for the holiday season that was partially offset by increased sales levels and seasonal trends in each of those periods, including the post-acquisition sales increases of the acquisitions completed in
2016
,
2015
and
2014
.
Inventories, net of acquisitions, increased $12.5 million in
2016
, primarily reflecting the sales volumes and inventory levels associated with acquisitions. Inventories, net of acquisitions, decreased
$3.0 million
in
2015
, primarily resulting from the Company’s continued focus on improving inventory turns and the management of direct shipment business in the Distribution segment. Partially offsetting the inventories decrease in 2015 were higher sales volumes and related higher inventory levels associated with acquisitions. The Company continually works with its key suppliers to match lead-time and minimum order requirements, although it may see fluctuations in inventory levels from quarter to quarter as a result of taking advantage of strategic buying opportunities.
The
$12.8 million
net increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other in
2016
compared to the $8.7 million net decrease in
2015
, primarily reflected the timing of payments related to the Company’s cash management and purchase discount initiatives to maximize discounts available on inventory procurement and the timing and impact of acquisitions.
The Company paid income taxes of $29.2 million and $24.1 million in
2016
and
2015
, respectively. The Company had various state NOLs of approximately $0.7 million at
December 31, 2015
, of which approximately $0.3 million were remaining to be utilized as of
December 31, 2016
. In
2016
and
2015
, the Company made quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual
2016
and
2015
federal and state income tax liability.
In 2016 and
2015
, the Company realized approximately $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of additional taxable deductions related to excess benefits on share-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014. In 2016, these tax benefits were recorded as a reduction to income tax expense upon realization in relation to the adoption of the share-based payment awards accounting standard. In 2015, such tax benefits were recorded to additional paid-in capital upon realization as required under the previous accounting standard.
Net cash provided by operating activities was
$66.9 million
in
2015
compared to
$46.3 million
in
2014
. Net income was
$42.2 million
in
2015
compared to
$30.7 million
in the prior year. Net of acquisitions, trade receivables decreased
$9.0 million
in
2015
and increased $1.9 million in
2014
, reflecting the impact of plant shutdowns by certain of the Company's larger customers in mid-to-late December 2015 for the holiday season that was partially offset by increased sales levels and seasonal trends in each of those periods, including the post-acquisition sales increases of the acquisitions completed in
2015
,
2014
and
2013
. Inventories, net of acquisitions, decreased
$3.0 million
in
2015
primarily reflecting the Company's continued focus in improving inventory turns and the management of direct shipment business in the Distribution segment. Partially offsetting the inventories decrease in 2015 were higher sales volumes and related higher inventory levels associated with acquisitions completed in 2015, 2014 and 2013. The $1.7 million increase in inventories, net of acquisitions in
2014
, primarily reflected higher sales volumes and related higher inventory levels associated with acquisitions. The $8.7 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other compared to the
$4.9 million
net increase in
2014
primarily reflected the timing of payments related to the Company’s cash management, purchase discount initiatives to maximize discounts available on inventory procurement, and the impact of acquisitions.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our 2015 Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on our current cash flow budgets and forecast of our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
The Company's ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the 2015 Credit Facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. In addition, future liquidity and capital resources may be impacted as the Company continues to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage its operating platform and to repurchase common stock in conjunction with the Company's stock repurchase program announced in January 2016.
The Company's working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV and MH industries, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of its customers. In the event 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 liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of its operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.

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 most 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 significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies and judgments:
Trade Receivables
.
Patrick is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of building products and material for use primarily by the RV and MH industries and other industrial markets. Trade receivables consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Credit risk related to trade receivables is controlled through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and the performance of ongoing credit evaluations of customers. In assessing the carrying value of its trade receivables, the Company estimates the recoverability by making assumptions based on factors such as current overall and industry-specific economic conditions, historical and anticipated customer performance, historical write-off and collection experience, the level of past-due amounts, and specific risks identified in the accounts receivable portfolio. Additional changes to the allowance could be necessary in the future if a customer’s creditworthiness deteriorates, or if actual defaults are higher than the Company’s historical experience. Any difference could result in an increase or decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method) or net realizable value. Based on the inventory aging and other considerations for realizable value, the Company writes down the carrying value to net realizable value where appropriate. The Company reviews inventory on-hand and records provisions for obsolete inventory based on current assessments of future demands, market conditions, and related management initiatives. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and operating results. If market conditions or customer requirements change and are less favorable than those projected by management, inventory allowances are adjusted accordingly.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.
The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. Events that may indicate that certain long-lived assets might be impaired include a significant downturn in the economy
36
or the RV or MH industries, and/or a loss of a major customer or several customers. Cash flow estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect the Company's best estimate of future market and operating conditions and forecasts. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value. Estimates of fair value represent the Company's best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions. The recoverability of PP&E is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on estimated selling price, appraised value or projected future cash flows. No events or changes in circumstances occurred that required the Company to assess the recoverability of its property and equipment for the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
, and therefore the Company has not recognized any impairment charges for those years.
All of the Company’s long-lived asset impairment assessments are based on established fair value techniques using market or income-based methodologies. When calculating the present value of future cash flows, multiple variables such as forecasted sales volumes and discount rates, are taken into consideration. These analyses require management to estimate both future cash flows and an appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the current business model. The assumptions supporting valuation models, including discount rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") multiples are determined using the best estimates as of the date of the impairment review. These estimates are subject to significant uncertainty, and differences in actual future results may require further impairment charges, which may be significant.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets
.
The Company has made acquisitions in the past that included 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, and trademarks.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets such as 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 significant decline in Patrick's share price and market capitalization, a decline in expected future cash flows, or a significant adverse change in the business climate. A significant adverse change in the business climate could result in a significant loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth. No material events occurred during
2016
,
2015
or
2014
that indicated the existence of impairment with respect to reported goodwill, trademarks, or other intangible assets.
Goodwill and other intangible assets are allocated to the Company’s reporting units at the date they are initially recorded. Impairment reviews of goodwill are performed at the reporting unit level, one level below the business segment. A reporting unit constitutes a business for which discrete profit and loss financial information is available. The Company’s reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, are those based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which segregates its businesses by product category and production/distribution process.
Once goodwill has been allocated to a reporting unit, it generally no longer retains its identification with a particular acquisition, but instead becomes identified with the reporting unit as a whole. In general, the Company’s operating segments include goodwill originating from acquisitions that remain reporting units of the Company for which impairment is assessed.
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. Newly acquired indefinite-lived assets are more vulnerable to impairments as the assets are recorded at fair value and are then subsequently measured at the lower of fair value or carrying value at the end of each reporting period. As such, immediately after acquisition, even a small decline in the outlook for these products can negatively impact the ability to recover the carrying value and can result in an impairment loss.
In evaluating goodwill for impairment, either a qualitative or quantitative assessment of the composition of the Company’s goodwill for impairment is performed. If initially using the qualitative assessment and the analysis indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company then performs a quantitative assessment. When estimating fair value with the quantitative assessment, the Company uses a market or income-based methodology including a multiple of EBITDA or present value of future cash flows. When calculating the present value of future cash flows, the Company takes into consideration multiple variables, including forecasted sales volumes, discount rates, comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping, current industry and economic conditions, and historical results. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill and other intangible assets are not impaired and no further steps are required.
37
Based on the results of the Company's analyses, the estimated fair value was determined to substantially exceed the carrying value for each of the reporting units within the Manufacturing segment and within the Distribution segment for each of the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
.
If applicable, a qualitative assessment includes: (i) an evaluation of macroeconomic conditions; (ii) RV and MH industry and market considerations including wholesale unit shipment levels; (iii) cost factors including price fluctuations on major commodities both purchased for use in various manufactured products and for distribution to customers; (iv) overall financial performance of the Company including the ability to re-finance Patrick's credit facility under more favorable terms; (v) completion of acquisitions; (vi) an increase in product line offerings and an expansion of the Company's customer base; (vii) changes in the Company's stock price valuation; and (viii) and other relevant specific events.
In addition, there are no long-lived assets or asset groups, including tangible assets, for which it was determined that undiscounted cash flows are not substantially in excess of the carrying value or that could materially impact Patrick's operating results or total shareholders’ equity.
There were no material changes made to the Company's methods of evaluating goodwill and intangible asset impairments for the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to determine impairment in the foreseeable future.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
At
December 31, 2016
, our total debt obligations under our 2015 Credit Agreement were under either LIBOR-based or prime rate-based interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the underlying LIBOR and prime rates would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $2.7 million, assuming average borrowings, including the Term Loan, subject to variable rates of $273.2 million, which was the amount of such borrowings outstanding at
December 31, 2016
subject to variable rates.
Inflation
The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, particleboard, fiberglass and aluminum, 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
2016
. 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.

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.
38
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 ouevar 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
2016
, which are described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2016
.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP, audited our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
, 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, 2016
.
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, 2016
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Patrick Industries, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Patrick Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2016
. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures, as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As permitted, the Company has excluded the operations of businesses acquired during 2016, which are described in Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements, from the scope of the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. As such, they have also been excluded from the scope of our audit of internal control over financial reporting.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Patrick Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2016
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

PATRICK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
1.
|
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
Nature of Business
Patrick Industries, Inc. (“Patrick” or the “Company”) operations consist of the manufacture and distribution of building products and materials for use primarily by the recreational vehicle (“RV”), manufactured housing (“MH”), and industrial markets for customers throughout the United States and Canada. At
December 31, 2016
, the Company maintained
56
manufacturing plants and
22
distribution facilities located in
16
states. Patrick operates in
two
business segments: Manufacturing and Distribution.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patrick and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unallocated expenses, when combined with the operating segments and after the elimination of intersegment revenues, total to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements.
Certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
In preparation of Patrick’s consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2016
, management evaluated all material subsequent events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date of issuance of the Form 10-K that required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the valuation of goodwill, the valuation of long-lived assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts, excess and obsolete inventories, and deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from the amounts reported.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
|
Revenue Recognition
The Company ships product based on specific orders from customers and revenue is recognized at the time of passage of title and risk of loss to the customer, which is generally upon delivery. The Company’s selling price is fixed and determined at the time of shipment and collectability is reasonably assured and not contingent upon the customer’s use or resale of the product.
The Company records freight billed to customers in net sales. The corresponding costs incurred for shipping and handling related to these customer billed freight costs are recorded in warehouse and delivery expenses and aggregated
$1.4 million
,
$1.1 million
and
$0.9 million
for
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively.
Estimated costs related to customer volume rebates and sales incentives are accrued as a reduction of revenue at the time products are sold
.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of goods sold includes material costs, direct and indirect labor, overhead expenses, inbound freight charges, inspection costs, internal transfer costs, receiving costs, and other costs.
F-8
Warehouse and delivery expenses include salaries and wages, building rent and insurance, and other overhead costs related to distribution operations and delivery costs related to the shipment of finished and distributed products to customers. Purchasing costs are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.
Stock Based Compensation
Compensation expense related to the fair value of stock awards as of the grant date is calculated based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. In addition, the Company estimates the fair value of all stock option and stock appreciation rights ("SARS") awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense and include the dividend yield and exercise price. Expected volatilities take into consideration the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of options and SARS represents the period of time that the options and SARS granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical Company trends. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for instruments of a similar term.
Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”). The dilutive effect of Common Stock Equivalents is calculated under the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period. Certain Common Stock Equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share because the exercise prices of those Common Stock Equivalents were greater than the average market price of the common shares. See Note 13 for the calculation of both basic and diluted net income per common share.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from its normal business activities. In assessing the carrying value of its trade receivables, the Company estimates the recoverability by making assumptions based on factors such as current overall and industry-specific economic conditions, historical and anticipated customer performance, historical write-off and collection experience, the level of past-due amounts, and specific risks identified in the trade receivables portfolio.
The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method) and net realizable value. Based on the inventory aging and other considerations for realizable value, the Company writes down the carrying value to net realizable value where appropriate. The Company reviews inventory on-hand and records provisions for obsolete inventory based on current assessments of future demand, market conditions, and related management initiatives. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and operating results. The cost of manufactured inventories includes raw materials, inbound freight, labor and overhead. The Company’s distribution inventories include the cost of raw materials and inbound freight.
F-9
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is generally recorded at cost. However, PP&E acquired in connection with an acquisition is recorded at fair value. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method applied to individual items based on estimated useful lives, which generally range from
10
to
30
years for buildings and improvements, and from
three
to
seven
years for machinery, equipment and transportation equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the related lease term. When properties are retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Long-lived assets other than goodwill and intangible assets that are held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair market value less the estimated cost to sell. The recoverability of PP&E is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on estimated selling price, appraised value or projected future cash flows.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method and are recorded at their respective fair values. Upon acquisition, goodwill and other intangible assets are assigned to reporting units which are one level below the Company’s business segments. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an annual (or under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test based on their estimated fair value. The Company performs the required test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment in the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. Finite-lived intangible assets relate to customer relationships and non-compete agreements. 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. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at their estimated fair values as determined by an income valuation approach using Level III fair value inputs. There was
no
impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets for the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When events or conditions warrant, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and considers whether these assets are impaired. The Company assesses the recoverability of these assets based upon several factors, including management's intention with respect to the assets and their projected future undiscounted cash flows. If projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company adjusts the carrying amounts of such assets to their estimated fair value. A significant adverse change in the Company’s business climate in future periods could result in a significant loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth and could lead to a required assessment of the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets, which may subsequently result in an impairment charge.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are classified as non-current assets on the statement of financial position and are amortized over the life of the related debt or credit facility using the straight-line method.
The consolidated statements of financial position at
December 31, 2016
and
2015
reflect the reclassification of assets related to deferred financing costs associated with the Term Loan (as defined herein) outstanding under the Company's 2015 Credit Facility (as defined herein) that were reclassified and presented net of long-term debt outstanding. The classification is the result of the Company's adoption of a new accounting standard that requires debt issuance costs be presented in the statement of financial position as a reduction in the carrying amount of debt, consistent with the presentation of debt issuance discounts. The deferred financing costs related to the 2015 Revolver (as defined herein) were not reclassified to long-term debt and are reflected as a component of non-current assets on the consolidated statements of financial position for the periods presented because the standard does not apply to line-of-credit arrangements. In the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted this accounting standard as required on a retroactive basis.
At
December 31, 2015
, the total maximum borrowing limit under the Company's 2015 Credit Facility was
$300.0 million
, of which
$75.0 million
or
25%
represented the total commitment under the Term Loan and was the basis for allocating a portion of the deferred financing costs to the Term Loan. Unamortized total deferred financing costs were
$2.5 million
at December 31, 2015, of which
$0.6 million
was allocated to the Term Loan.
F-10
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, debt and accounts payable. The Company believes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable are recorded at amounts that approximate their current market values because of the relatively short maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the long-term debt instruments approximates the fair value based upon terms and conditions available to the Company in comparison to the terms and conditions of the outstanding debt.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized in the current year to the extent future deferred tax liability timing differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized.
The Company reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard which specifies how and when to recognize revenue as well as providing informative, relevant disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this standard by one year, which would become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Based on an evaluation and review of its current accounting policies and practices related to the recognition of revenue, the Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this new accounting standard will have a material impact on the consolidated statements or operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company expects to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, under the modified retrospective method where the cumulative effect is recognized at the date of initial application.
Debt Financing / Debt Issuance Costs
In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that requires debt issuance costs be presented in the statement of financial position as a reduction in the carrying amount of debt, consistent with the presentation of debt issuance discounts. The Company adopted this new standard, on a retroactive basis, in the first quarter of 2016 as required. Total assets and total liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2015 were reduced by the reclassification of
$0.6 million
of deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan to the long-term debt, less current maturities, net line on the consolidated statement of financial position.
Income Taxes
In November 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. Under the new standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be classified, on a net basis, as noncurrent on the consolidated statement of financial position. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company elected to adopt this standard, thus reclassifying current deferred tax assets to noncurrent, net of deferred tax liabilities, on the consolidated statements of financial position. The prior year reporting period was retroactively adjusted. Current assets on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2015 were reduced by the reclassification of
$5.8 million
of current deferred tax assets to long-term deferred tax assets. Total assets and total liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2015 were reduced by the reclassification of
$3.8 million
of long-term deferred tax liabilities to long-term deferred tax assets. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. See Note 10 for additional details.
F-11
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that will require that an entity recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for leases in excess of one year that were previously classified as operating leases under U.S. GAAP. The standard also requires companies to disclose in the footnotes to the financial statements information about the amount, timing, and uncertainty for the payments made for the lease agreements. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 on a retroactive basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard and has not yet determined the impact that the implementation of it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for share-based payments relating to: (i) the income tax consequences related to exercised or vested share-based payment awards; (ii) the classification of awards as assets or liabilities; and (iii) the classification in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, the standard provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted.
The Company elected to early adopt the requirements of this accounting standard in the fourth quarter of 2016 and retroactively reflected the impact of the adoption in its financial statements effective January 1, 2016 as required under the standard. Specifically, the excess tax benefits related to the settlement of share-based compensation that were realized in 2016, and previously recorded in additional paid-in capital, were reclassified as a reduction to income tax expense on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2016. See Note 18 for the impact of the reclassification to the Company's previously reported net income and net income per basic and diluted share calculations for the first three quarters of 2016. In addition, as required under the new standard, cash paid by directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes of
$1.2 million
and
$0.6 million
was reclassified from operating activities to financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Furthermore, the Company elected to change its accounting policy to account for forfeitures for share-based awards when they occur.
Cash Flow Statement Classifications
In August 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard may be applied on a retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates adopting the new standard as of January 1, 2018 as required and has determined that the implementation of it will have no impact on its consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented.
Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. The standard requires that the impairment loss be measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. It eliminates the second step that requires the impairment to be measured between the implied value of a reporting unit's goodwill with its carrying value. The standard is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard and has not yet determined the impact that the implementation of it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Definition of a Business
In January 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that clarifies the definition of a business. This standard will assist companies in interpreting the definition of a business which may affect certain areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard may be applied on a retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard and has not yet determined the impact that the implementation of it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS
|
General
The Company completed a total of
14
acquisitions involving
19
companies in the three years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
as discussed below. Each of the acquisitions was funded through borrowings under the Company’s credit facility in existence at the time of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the individual acquisitions were recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position at their estimated fair values as of the respective dates of acquisition. In general, the acquisitions described below provided the opportunity for the Company to either establish a new presence in a particular market and/or expand its product offerings in an existing market and increase its market share and per unit content.
For each acquisition, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which represents the value of leveraging the Company’s existing purchasing, manufacturing, sales, and systems resources with the organizational talent and expertise of the acquired companies’ respective management teams to maximize efficiencies, revenue impact, market share growth, and net income. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes for each of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 acquisitions with the exception of the BH Electronics, Inc. acquisition. Intangible asset values were estimated using income based valuation methodologies. The disclosure of the amortization periods assigned to finite-lived intangible assets is more fully disclosed in Note 7.
For the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015

2015 Credit Facility
The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2015 (the “2015 Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and a lender (“Wells Fargo”), and Fifth Third Bank, Key Bank National Association, Bank of America, N.A., and Lake City Bank as participants, to expand its senior secured credit facility to
$250.0 million
and extend its maturity to 2020 (the “2015 Credit Facility”). The 2015 Credit Facility
F-19
initially was comprised of a
$175.0 million
revolving credit loan (the “2015 Revolver”) and a
$75.0 million
term loan (the “Term Loan”).
On August 31, 2015, the Company entered into a first amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement to expand the 2015 Credit Facility to
$300.0 million
from
$250.0 million
by expanding the 2015 Revolver to
$225.0 million
.
On July 26, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement to expand the 2015 Credit Facility to
$360.0 million
from
$300.0 million
by expanding the 2015 Revolver to
$269.4 million
and the Term Loan to
$90.6 million
, and to add 1
st
Source Bank as an additional participant.
The 2015 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and any domestic subsidiary guarantors. The 2015 Credit Agreement includes certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements and includes the following additional provisions:
|
•
|
The maturity date for the 2015 Credit Facility is April 28, 2020;
|
|
•
|
The initial Term Loan had repayment installments of approximately
$2.7 million
per quarter with the remaining balance due at maturity. Following the expansion of the Term Loan in July 2016 pursuant to the second amendment, the quarterly repayment installments were increased to approximately
$3.9 million
beginning on September 30, 2016 with the remaining balance due at maturity;
|
|
•
|
The interest rates for borrowings under the 2015 Revolver and the Term Loan are the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, with a fee payable by the Company on unused but committed portions of the 2015 Revolver;
|
|
•
|
The 2015 Revolver includes a sub-limit up to
$10.0 million
for same day advances (“Swing Line”) which shall bear interest based upon the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;
|
|
•
|
Up to
$10.0 million
of the 2015 Revolver is available as a sub facility for the issuance of standby letters of credit, which are subject to certain expiration dates;
|
|
•
|
The financial covenants include requirements as to a consolidated total leverage ratio and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and other covenants include limitations and restrictions concerning permitted acquisitions, investments, sales of assets, liens on assets, dividends and other payments; and
|
|
•
|
Customary prepayment provisions, representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default.
|
At
December 31, 2016
, the Company had
$82.7 million
outstanding under the Term Loan under the LIBOR-based option, and borrowings outstanding under the 2015 Revolver of (i)
$187.0 million
under the LIBOR-based option and (ii)
$3.4 million
under the Prime Rate-based option. The interest rate for borrowings at
December 31, 2016
was the Prime Rate plus
0.75%
(or
4.50%
), or LIBOR plus
1.75%
(or
2.5625%
). At
December 31, 2015
, the Company had
$67.0 million
outstanding under the Term Loan under the LIBOR-based option, and borrowings outstanding under the 2015 Revolver of (i)
$133.0 million
under the LIBOR-based option and (ii)
$4.5 million
under the Prime Rate-based option. The interest rate for borrowings at December 31, 2015 was the Prime Rate plus
1.00%
(or
4.50%
), or LIBOR plus
2.00%
(or
2.4375%
). The fee payable on committed but unused portions of the 2015 Revolver was
0.225%
at December 31, 2016 and
0.250%
at December 31, 2015.
Pursuant to the 2015 Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include: (a) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, not to exceed
3.00
:1.00 for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end; and (b) a required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, of at least
1.50
:
1.00
for the 12-month period ending on such quarter-end.
The consolidated total leverage ratio is the ratio for any period of consolidated total indebtedness (as measured as of the second day following the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter) to consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). EBITDA is further adjusted to primarily include the add-back of stock compensation expense and acquisition transaction related expenses. Consolidated total indebtedness for any period is the sum of: (i) total debt outstanding under the 2015 Revolver and the Term Loan; (ii) capital leases and letters of credit outstanding; and (iii) deferred payment obligations. The consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of consolidated EBITDA less restricted payments, taxes paid and capital expenditures as defined under the 2015 Credit Agreement to consolidated fixed charges. Consolidated fixed charges for any period is the sum of interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan.
As and for the December 31, 2016 and 2015 reporting dates, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial debt covenants as required under the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. The required maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and the minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio compared to the actual amounts as of and for the fiscal period ended
F-20

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in deductible or taxable amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the current period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.
In March 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for share-based payment awards, which simplifies (i) the income tax consequences related to exercised or vested share-based payment awards; (ii) the classification of awards as assets or liabilities; and (iii) the classification in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, the standard provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the requirements of this accounting standard in the fourth quarter of 2016 and retroactively reflected the impact of the adoption in its financial statements effective January 1, 2016 as required under the standard. Specifically, the excess tax benefits related to the settlement of share-based compensation that were realized in 2016, and previously recorded in additional paid-in capital, were reclassified as a reduction to income tax expense on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2016. See Note 18 for the impact of the reclassification to the Company's previously reported net income and net income per basic and diluted share calculations for the first three quarters of 2016.
In 2016 and 2015, the Company realized approximately
$3.2 million
and
$2.9 million
, respectively, of additional taxable deductions related to excess tax benefits on share-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014. In 2016, these tax benefits were recorded as a reduction to income tax expense upon realization in relation to the adoption of the share-based payment awards accounting standard. In 2015, the tax benefits were recorded to additional paid-in-capital upon realization as required under the previous accounting standard.
The composition of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015

In November 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. Under the new standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be classified, on a net basis, as noncurrent on the
F-22
consolidated statement of financial position. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company elected to adopt this standard, thus reclassifying current deferred tax assets to noncurrent, net of deferred tax liabilities, on the consolidated statements of financial position. The prior year reporting period was retroactively adjusted. Current assets on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2015 were reduced by the reclassification of
$5.8 million
of current deferred tax assets to long-term deferred tax assets. Total assets and total liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2015 were reduced by the reclassification of
$3.8 million
of long-term deferred tax liabilities to long-term deferred tax assets. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
The Company paid income taxes of
$29.2 million
,
$24.1 million
and
$16.7 million
in
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively.
The Company did not reflect any unrecognized tax benefits in its financial statements as of
December 31, 2016
or
December 31, 2015
and does not expect any significant changes relating to unrecognized tax benefits in the 12 months following
December 31, 2016
.
The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic tax authorities. For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the years
2013
and later. The Company is currently under audit by the State of Indiana for tax years 2012, 2013 and 2014.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
|
Preferred Stock
The Company has
1,000,000
shares of preferred stock authorized, without par value, the issuance of which is subject to approval by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board has the authority to fix the number, rights, preferences and limitations of the shares, subject to applicable laws and the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.
Common Stock
The Company has
20,000,000
shares of common stock authorized, without par value, of which
15,319,993
shares and
15,160,781
shares were issued and outstanding as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively.
The Company issued
279,950
shares in 2016,
278,757
shares in 2015, and
165,060
shares in 2014 related to stock-based compensation plans and for the exercise of stock options and SARS (as defined herein). The shares issued were net of repurchases made by the Company of
14,211
shares in 2016,
29,536
shares in 2015, and
21,726
shares in 2014 for the sole purpose of satisfying the minimum tax withholding obligations of employees upon the vesting of stock awards held by the employees.
In addition, in 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company repurchased
120,738
shares,
618,557
shares and
517,125
shares, respectively, of its common stock through a stock repurchase program. See Note 12 for further details.
The Company’s common stock does not have a stated par value. As a result, repurchases of common stock have been reflected, using an average cost method, as a reduction of common stock, additional paid-in-capital and retained earnings in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
U.S. GAAP defines comprehensive income as non-shareholder changes in equity. The components of and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were immaterial.
Termination of
Shareholder Rights Agreement
On April 16, 2015, the Company accelerated the expiration date of the Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated March 21, 2006, between Patrick Industries, Inc. and National City Bank, as Rights Agent (as so amended, the “Rights Agreement”) so that the Rights Agreement terminated at the close of business on April 16, 2015 and, therefore, the Rights issued under the Rights Agreement expired at that time.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
|
In February 2013, the Board approved a stock repurchase program which was subsequently expanded in February 2014 and February 2015 (the "2013 Repurchase Plan").
In January 2016, the Company fully utilized the remaining authorization under the 2013 Repurchase Plan and announced that the Board approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to
$50 million
of the Company’s common stock over a
24
-month period (the “2016 Repurchase Plan”).

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|
Legal
The Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, audits, and other claims arising in the normal course of business. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Accruals for these items, when applicable, have been provided to the extent that losses are deemed probable and are reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted from time to time as developments warrant.
Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained, on the basis of present information, amounts already provided, availability of insurance coverage and legal advice received, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Deferred Compensation Obligations
The Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain key employees. The agreements provide for monthly benefits for
ten years

2015
. The Company recognized expense of $
0.1 million
for each of the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
in conjunction with this plan. Life insurance contracts have been purchased which may be used to fund these agreements. The contracts are recorded at their cash surrender value in the statements of financial position. Any differences between actual proceeds and cash surrender value are recorded as gains or losses in the periods presented. Additionally, the Company records gains or losses on the cash surrender value in the period incurred. The gains recognized were immaterial for all periods presented.
Bonus Plan
The Company pays bonuses to certain management and sales personnel. Historically, bonuses are determined annually and are based upon corporate and divisional income levels and the achievement of individually defined performance criteria. The charge to operations amounted to approximately
$8.7 million
, $
4.6 million

RSUs
Since RSUs do not possess voting rights, they are not included in the calculation of shares outstanding. The RSUs include a performance-based contingency. The grant date fair value of the awards is expensed over the related performance period. The performance contingent RSUs are earned based on the achievement of a cumulative financial performance target over a
three
-year period and vest at the conclusion of the measurement period. In 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company granted
22,000
,
22,000
and
22,001
RSUs, respectively, at a weighted-average grant date stock price of
$41.53
,
$41.73
, and
$24.81
per share, respectively.
In February 2017, the cumulative financial performance target was achieved at the maximum performance level for the
22,001
RSUs granted in 2014. Under the terms of the Company's long-term incentive plan, the shares payout for maximum performance is
125%
of the target performance or a total of
27,502
shares. Upon vesting, the
27,502
shares will possess voting rights and will be included in the calculation of shares outstanding.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
|
The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those based on its method of internal reporting, which segregates its businesses by product category and production or distribution process.
A description of the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:
Manufacturing
– This segment includes the following divisions: laminated products that are utilized to produce furniture, shelving, walls, countertops, and cabinet products, cabinet doors, fiberglass bath fixtures, hardwood furniture, vinyl printing, solid surface, granite, and quartz countertop fabrication, RV painting, fabricated aluminum products, fiberglass and plastic components, softwoods lumber, custom cabinetry, polymer-based flooring, electrical systems components, and other products. Patrick’s major manufactured products also include wrapped vinyl, paper and hardwood profile mouldings, interior passage doors, slide-out trim and fascia, and slotwall panels and components. The Manufacturing segment contributed approximately
82%
,
78%
and
75%
of the Company’s net sales for the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively.
Distribution
– The Company distributes pre-finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall finishing products, electronics and audio systems components, wiring, electrical and plumbing products, fiber reinforced polyester products, cement siding, interior passage doors, roofing products, laminate and ceramic flooring, shower doors, furniture, fireplaces and surrounds, interior and exterior lighting products, and other miscellaneous products.

F-30
approximately

22%
and
25%
of the Company’s net sales for the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, except that segment data includes intersegment sales. Assets are identified to the segments with the exception of cash, prepaid expenses, land and buildings, and certain deferred assets, which are identified with the corporate division. The corporate division charges rents to the segments for use of the land and buildings based upon estimated market rates. The Company accounts for intersegment sales similar to third party transactions, which reflect current market prices. The Company also records certain income from purchase incentive agreements as corporate division revenue. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a variety of indicators including sales, cost of goods sold, operating income, depreciation and amortization, and total identifiable assets as presented in the tables below.d
The tables below present information about the operating income, segment assets, and certain other items that are either used by or provided to the chief operating decision maker of the Company as of and for the years ended
December 31, 2016

The first three quarters of 2016 reflect the retroactive adjustment to net income and the related basic and diluted per share amounts which resulted from the Company's adoption of the share-based compensation accounting standard in the fourth quarter of 2016. See "Stock Compensation" in Note 3 for additional details.
|
|
(2)
|
Basic and diluted net income per common share are computed independently for each of the quarters presented. Therefore, the sum of quarterly basic and diluted net income per common share information may not equal annual basic and diluted net income per common share.
|
The adoption of the new accounting standard resulted in the retroactive recognition of
$1.3 million
of excess tax benefits in the Company's provision for income taxes rather than in additional paid-in capital during the first three quarters of 2016 and impacted the previously reported quarterly results for the first three quarters of 2016 as follows:
