First Quarter 2026 Highlights (compared to First Quarter 2025 unless otherwise noted)

• Net sales were $997 million compared to $1,003 million. Marine revenue growth of 14% and Powersports revenue growth of 28% were offset by lower revenue in the Company's RV and Housing markets, primarily reflecting lower wholesale industry unit shipments.
• Patrick's RV content per unit (on a trailing 12-month basis) increased 8%, while estimated Marine content per unit (on a trailing 12-month basis) grew 17%.
• Operating income was $65 million compared to $66 million. Operating margin was 6.5%, flat compared to the prior year period.
• Net income increased 3% to $39 million. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.10 compared to $1.11 in the prior year period. EPS includes the dilutive impact of convertible notes and related warrants of approximately $0.10 per share, compared to $0.05 in the prior year period.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $113 million compared to $116 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ was 11.4% compared to 11.5%.
• Cash flow used in operating activities was $14 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $40 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow¹, on a trailing twelve-month basis, was $194 million.
• Returned $31 million to shareholders in the first quarter of 2026, including $16 million through regular quarterly dividends and $15 million through share repurchases. During the second quarter through April 29, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 153,100 shares for approximately $15 million.
• Total net liquidity was $734 million at the end of the first quarter; total net leverage ratio was 2.8x.
• On April 17, 2026, the Company confirmed that it is in discussions with LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII) regarding a potential merger of equals transaction. The Company provided no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions nor provided any terms for a possible transaction. No further updates are available at this time.

"I want to thank our team members for their dedication and commitment, as they continued to execute with focus to deliver resilient performance and demonstrate the strength and adaptability of our diversified business model in a challenging and uncertain macroeconomic environment," said Andy Nemeth, Chief Executive Officer. "Content gains were strong as a result of our team's tremendous focus on innovation and product solutions, and helped to offset shipment declines in our RV, Marine, and Manufactured Housing markets. The demand environment in the first quarter was influenced by macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds and dealer ordering discipline. Against this backdrop, our team's ability to pivot quickly, combined with our customer-focused approach, enabled us to outperform in our Outdoor Enthusiast end markets."

Net sales were $997 million compared to $1,003 million in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue from the Company's Outdoor Enthusiast end markets, which include RV, Marine and Powersports, increased 2%, which was offset by a 6% decrease in revenue from its Housing end market. Content per wholesale RV unit (on a trailing 12-month basis) increased 8%, partially offsetting a 12% reduction in wholesale RV industry unit shipments, while estimated content per wholesale powerboat unit (on a trailing 12-month basis) increased 17%, which more than offset an estimated 7% decline in wholesale industry unit shipments.

Operating income was $65 million compared to $66 million in the first quarter of 2025. Operating margin of 6.5% was unchanged versus the same period a year ago.

Net income increased 3% to $39 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, compared to $38 million, or $1.11 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025. EPS in the first quarter of 2026 includes approximately $0.10 of dilution from the Company's convertible notes and related warrants compared to $0.05 in the prior year period.

Jeff Rodino, President, said, "RV OEM adoption of our composite solutions continues to gain traction as we expand our capabilities and product lineup to meet evolving customer needs. On the Marine side, the growth in content per unit reflects our strong performance in the last model-year changeover and the impact of recent marine-related acquisitions. Additionally, attachment rates within our Powersports business have continued to grow, as OEMs have increasingly adopted the Sportech cab enclosures. Across our businesses, we remain committed to delivering the value-added products, services, and solutions our customers expect."

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

For the first three months of 2026, cash used in operating activities was $14 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $40 million for the prior year period, primarily due to a larger increase in working capital investment compared to the first quarter of 2025, largely reflecting a deliberate effort to increase inventory in alignment with the Company's composite products growth strategy. Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $19 million in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting continued investment in automation and facility enhancements, which support the Company's ongoing innovation initiatives. On a trailing twelve-month basis, free cash flow¹ through the first quarter of 2026 was $194 million compared to $251 million in the prior year period.

Patrick returned $31 million to shareholders during the first three months of 2026, including $16 million through dividends and $15 million for the repurchase of approximately 127,700 shares of the Company's common stock. At the end of the first quarter, the Company had unused capacity of $153 million under its current share repurchase plan. During the second quarter through April 29, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 153,100 shares for a total of approximately $15 million.

Total debt at the end of the first quarter was approximately $1.4 billion, resulting in a total net leverage ratio of 2.8x (as calculated in accordance with the Company's credit agreement). Available liquidity, comprised of borrowing availability under the Company's credit facility and cash on hand, was approximately $734 million.

Business Outlook and Summary

"As we continue to navigate the dynamic demand environment in 2026, our team remains focused and our strategic direction is clear," continued Mr. Nemeth. "We are confident in our ability to execute on the strategic priorities we have outlined, including investing in and developing our aftermarket platform, driving organic growth, composite product innovation and adoption, execution of our disciplined M&A strategy, and the deployment of capital to support long-term value creation for our customers, employees and shareholders. Supported by our consistent cash flow and strong balance sheet, we remain engaged with our robust pipeline of acquisition candidates, focused on partnering with businesses that enhance our product portfolio, committed to deepening customer relationships, and aligned with our growth objectives. Additionally, we are making prudent organic investments in technology and advanced manufacturing capabilities, including AI-driven tools that are enhancing the visibility and efficiency of our decentralized business structure. We believe that reinvestment throughout the cycle is critical to maintaining our operational resilience and strong market position, while enhancing our ability to drive long-term profitable growth."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also provides financial metrics, such as net leverage ratio, content per unit, free cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share ("adjusted diluted EPS"), adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and available liquidity, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to U.S. GAAP. Our computations of net leverage ratio, content per unit, free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and available liquidity may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Content per unit metrics are generally calculated using our market sales divided by Company estimates based on third-party measures of industry volume. We calculate EBITDA by adding back depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, and income taxes to net income. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by taking EBITDA and adding back stock-based compensation, loss on sale of property, plant and equipment, acquisition related transaction costs, acquisition related fair-value inventory step-up adjustments and subtracting out the gain on sale of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted net income is calculated by removing the impact of acquisition related transaction costs, net of tax, and acquisition related fair-value inventory step-up adjustments, net of tax. Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by our weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted operating margin is calculated by removing the impact of acquisition related transaction costs and acquisition related fair-value inventory step-up adjustments. We calculate free cash flow by subtracting cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment from net cash provided by operating activities. RV wholesale unit shipments are provided by the RV Industry Association. Marine wholesale unit shipments are Company estimates based on data provided by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. MH wholesale unit shipments are Company estimates based on data provided by the Manufactured Housing Institute. Housing starts are provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
