DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.             Basis of Presentation

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Drew Industries Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Drew” or the “Company”). Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries. Drew’s wholly-owned active subsidiaries are Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert”), and Kinro, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Kinro”). Drew, through Lippert and Kinro, manufactures a broad array of components for recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent manufactures components for modular housing, truck caps and buses, as well as for trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo.

 

Because of fluctuations in RV dealer inventories, and changes in economic conditions, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in its December 31, 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, sales rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, executive succession, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.

 

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations as of and for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include some information necessary to conform to annual reporting requirements.

 

2.             Segment Reporting

 

The Company has two reportable segments, the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment"). Intersegment sales are insignificant.

 

The RV Segment, which accounted for 88 percent and 87 percent of consolidated net sales for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used primarily in the production of RVs, including:

 

●     Steel chassis for towable RVs     

●     Aluminum windows and screens
  ●     Axles and suspension solutions for towable RVs ●     Chassis components

  ●     Slide-out mechanisms and solutions ●     Furniture and mattresses
  ●     Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products ●     Entry, baggage, patio and ramp doors
  ●     Entry steps ●     Awnings
  ●     Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer and leveling systems ●     Other accessories

          

          The Company also supplies certain of these products to the RV aftermarket. In addition, the Company manufactures components for truck caps; buses; and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo. Approximately 83 percent of the Company’s RV Segment net sales for the last twelve months were components to manufacturers of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs.

 

The MH Segment, which accounted for 12 percent and 13 percent of consolidated net sales for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent, modular housing and mobile office units, including:

 

●     Vinyl and aluminum windows and screens

●     Steel chassis
  ●     Thermoformed bath and kitchen products ●     Steel chassis parts
  ●     Steel and fiberglass entry doors ●     Axles
  ●     Aluminum and vinyl patio doors  

 

The Company also supplies certain of these products to the manufactured housing aftermarket. Certain of the Company’s MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both types of homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed.

 

Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company's resources are made by the Company's key executives, with oversight by the Board of Directors. This group evaluates the performance of each segment based upon segment operating profit or loss, defined as income or loss before interest, executive succession and income taxes. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources are also based on each segment’s utilization of assets. Management of debt is a corporate function. The accounting policies of the RV and MH Segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s December 31, 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Effective with the second quarter of 2013, in connection with the management succession and relocation of the corporate office from New York to Indiana, corporate expenses, accretion related to contingent consideration and other non-segment items, which were previously reported on separate lines, have been included as part of segment operating profit. Corporate expenses are allocated between the segments based upon net sales. Accretion related to contingent consideration and other non-segment items are included in the segment to which they relate. The segment disclosures from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Acquisitions in 2013

 

Midstates Tool & Die and Engineering, Inc.

 

On June 24, 2013, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Midstates Tool & Die and Engineering, Inc. (“Midstates”). Midstates is a manufacturer of tools and dies, as well as automation equipment. The acquired business had annualized sales of approximately $2 million. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company's RV Segment and in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date.

Net tangible assets

    1,023  

Total fair value of net assets acquired

  $ 1,076  
         

Goodwill (tax deductible)

  $ 375  

 

The consideration given was greater than the fair value of assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates the automation capabilities of the acquired business will help to improve its operating efficiencies.

 

Acquisitions in 2012

 

RV Entry Door Operation

 

On February 21, 2012, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of the United States RV entry door operation of Euramax International, Inc. The acquired business had annualized sales of approximately $6 million. The purchase price was $1.7 million, of which $1.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid over the subsequent three years. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s RV Segment and in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income since the acquisition date.

 

The acquisition of this business was recorded on the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

 

Cash consideration

  $ 1,164

Goodwill represents the excess of the total consideration given in an acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment annually in November, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The impairment tests are based on fair value, determined using discounted cash flows, appraised values or management’s estimates. No impairment tests were required or performed during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

8.            Long-Term Indebtedness

 

The Company had no debt outstanding at June 30, 2013 and 2012, or December 31, 2012.

 

On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a $50.0 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Lenders”). The maximum borrowings under the Company’s line of credit can be increased by $20.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Prime Rate, but not less than 2.5 percent, plus additional interest up to 0.8 percent (0 percent at June 30, 2013), or (ii) LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 2.0 percent to 2.8 percent (2.0 percent at June 30, 2013) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires on January 1, 2016. At June 30, 2013, the Company had $2.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company’s line of credit was $47.7 million at June 30, 2013.

 

Simultaneously, the Company entered into a $150.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”). The facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. At June 30, 2013, there were no Senior Promissory Notes outstanding. This facility expires on February 24, 2014.

 

Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at June 30, 2013. The remaining availability under these facilities was $197.7 million at June 30, 2013.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

The Company believes this availability, together with the $31.9 million in cash at June 30, 2013, is more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months. 

 

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility, at June 30, 2013 the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

 

Borrowings under both the line of credit and the “shelf-loan” facility are secured on a pari-passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.

 

The Company is currently negotiating a two-year extension of its line of credit and shelf loan facility, as well as a $25 million increase in its line of credit. The Company is extending these arrangements now because the shelf loan facility expires in February 2014, and current market conditions are favorable.

 

9.             Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions

 

In connection with several business acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a liability for the fair value of this contingent consideration at June 30, 2013, based on the present value of the expected future cash flows using a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital of 15.0 percent.

 

The following table summarizes the contingent consideration liability as of June 30, 2013 (in thousands):

Total

  $ 12,139     $ 9,735  

 

 

(a)

The remaining contingent consideration for two of the three products expires in March 2014. Contingent consideration for the remaining product will cease five years after the product is first sold to customers. Two of the three products acquired have a combined remaining maximum contingent consideration of $6.7 million, of which the Company estimates $4.6 million will be paid. Other than expiration of the contingent consideration period, the remaining product has no maximum contingent consideration.

 

 

(b)

Other than expiration of the contingent consideration period in February 2016, this product has no maximum contingent consideration.

 

 

(c)

Contingent consideration expires at various dates through October 2025. Certain of these products have a combined remaining maximum contingent consideration of $3.0 million, while the remaining products have no maximum contingent consideration.

As required, the liability for this contingent consideration is measured at fair value quarterly, considering actual sales of the acquired products, updated sales projections, and the updated market participant weighted average cost of capital. Depending upon the weighted average costs of capital and future sales of the products which are subject to contingent consideration, the Company could record adjustments in future periods.

 

In the first six months of 2013 and 2012, the net impact of the quarterly fair value adjustments and accretion of the liability was an expense of $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Executive Succession and Severance

 

On May 10, 2013, as previously announced, Fredric M. Zinn retired as President and Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Jason D. Lippert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Scott T. Mereness, President of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as President of Drew. The Company also relocated its corporate headquarters from White Plains, New York to Elkhart County, Indiana, the location of the corporate headquarters of Lippert Components and Kinro.

 

In connection with the Company’s executive succession and corporate relocation, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $1.8 million in the first six months of 2013, including $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, related to contractual obligations for severance and the acceleration of equity awards held by certain employees whose employment terminated as a result of the executive succession and relocation to Indiana. No other related charges are expected. The liability for executive succession and severance obligations will be paid through 2015. Once the transition and corporate office relocation are completed during the latter half of 2013, the Company expects to save an estimated $2 million annually in general and administrative costs.

The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, excludes the effect of 336,295 and 841,800 shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock options, deferred stock units and stock awards. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 excludes the effect of 335,875 and 901,300 shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock options, deferred stock units and stock awards. Such shares were excluded from total diluted shares because they were anti-dilutive or the specified performance conditions to which those shares were subject were not yet achieved.

 

In 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in block trades. Of this authorization, 535,135 shares were repurchased prior to 2013 at an average price of $18.64 per share, or $10.0 million. The number of shares ultimately repurchased, and the timing of the purchases, will depend upon market conditions, share price and other factors.

Deferred Compensation

The Company has an Executive Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The amounts deferred under this Plan are credited with earnings or losses based upon changes in values of the notional investments elected by the Plan participants. The Company invests 65 percent of the amounts deferred by the Plan participants in life insurance contracts, matching the investments elected by the Plan participants. Deferred compensation assets and liabilities were valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments.

 

Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions

Liabilities for contingent consideration related to acquisitions were valued using management’s projections for long-term sales forecasts, including assumptions regarding market share gains and future industry-specific economic and market conditions, and a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital. Over the next four years, the Company’s long-term sales growth forecasts for these products average approximately 25 percent per year. For further information on the inputs used in determining the fair value, and a roll-forward of the contingent consideration liability, see Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Changes in either of the inputs in isolation would result in a change in the fair value measurement. A change in the assumptions used for sales forecasts would result in a directionally similar change in the fair value liability, while a change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a directionally opposite change in the fair value liability. If there is an increase in the fair value liability, the Company would record a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses, and if there is a decrease in the fair value liability, the Company would record a benefit in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Derivative Instruments 

At June 30, 2013, the Company had derivative instruments for 1.4 million pounds of aluminum, approximately 5 percent of the Company’s anticipated annual aluminum purchases, in order to manage a portion of the exposure to movements associated with aluminum prices. These derivative instruments expire through September 2013 at an average Midwest aluminum price of $1.02 per pound. While these derivative instruments are considered to be economic hedges of the underlying movement in the price of aluminum, they are not designated or accounted for as a hedge. These derivative instruments were valued at fair value using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of similar instruments at the end of each reporting period, and the resulting net gain or loss was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At June 30, 2013, the Midwest aluminum price was $0.95 per pound. At June 30, 2013, the $0.2 million corresponding liability was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and at December 31, 2012, the $0.2 million corresponding asset was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, both as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first six months of 2013, derivative instruments for 3.3 million pounds of aluminum were settled at a loss of $0.1 million, which was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Vacant Owned Facilities

During the first six months of 2013 and 2012, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of four and seven vacant owned facilities, respectively. The determination of fair value was based on the best information available, including internal cash flow estimates, market prices for similar assets, broker quotes and independent appraisals, as appropriate.

During the first six months of 2013, the fair value of one of these vacant owned facilities did not exceed its carrying value, therefore an impairment charge of $0.1 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. A sale agreement has been signed on this facility, with closing scheduled for the third quarter of 2013. At June 30, 2013, this facility is classified in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the second quarter of 2013, one of the vacant facilities was reopened. At June 30, 2013, the remaining two vacant owned facilities, with an estimated combined fair value of $4.0 million, were classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

During the first six months of 2012, the fair value of two of these vacant owned facilities did not exceed their carrying value, therefore an impairment charge of $0.3 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company sold at carrying value one of the facilities previously recorded as a vacant facility and reopened another. At June 30, 2012, the five vacant owned facilities, with an estimated combined fair value of $10.1 million, were classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Other Intangible Assets

During the first six months of 2012, the Company reviewed the recoverability of amortizable intangible assets associated with an acquired patent. Based on the analyses, the carrying value of these intangible assets exceeded the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated. As a result, the Company was required to determine the fair value of these intangible assets. Fair value was determined based on the present value of internal cash flow estimates. The resulting fair value of these intangible assets was $0.6 million below the carrying value at March 31, 2012, therefore the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $0.6 million, of which $0.5 million was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

Net Assets of Acquired Businesses

The Company valued the assets and liabilities associated with the acquisitions of businesses on the respective acquisition dates. Depending upon the type of asset or liability acquired, the Company used different valuation techniques in determining the fair value. Those techniques included comparable market prices, long-term sales, profitability and cash flow forecasts, assumptions regarding future industry-specific economic and market conditions, a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital, as well as other techniques as circumstances required. For further information on acquired assets and liabilities, see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Vacant Leased Facilities

The Company recorded a charge of less than $0.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the first six months of 2012 due to the early termination of leases of vacant facilities.

Drew Industries Incorporated (“Drew”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) conducts its operations through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert”), and Kinro, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Kinro”). Drew, through Lippert and Kinro, manufactures a broad array of components for recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent manufactures components for modular housing, truck caps and buses, as well as for trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo. Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries.

 

The Company has two reportable segments, the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment"). Each of Lippert and Kinro has operations in both the RV and MH Segments. Intersegment sales are insignificant. At June 30, 2013, the Company operated 31 plants in the United States.

 

Effective with the second quarter of 2013, in connection with the management succession and relocation of the corporate office from New York to Indiana, corporate expenses, accretion related to contingent consideration, and other non-segment items, which were previously reported on separate lines, have been included as part of segment operating profit. Corporate expenses are allocated between the segments based upon net sales. Accretion related to contingent consideration and other non-segment items are included in the segment to which they relate. The segment disclosures from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

 

The Company’s RV Segment manufactures a variety of products used primarily in the production of RVs, including:

 

●     Steel chassis for towable RVs

●     Aluminum windows and screens
●     Axles and suspension solutions for towable RVs ●     Chassis components
●     Slide-out mechanisms and solutions ●     Furniture and mattresses
●     Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products ●     Entry, baggage, patio and ramp doors
●     Entry steps ●     Awnings
●     Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer and leveling systems ●     Other accessories

 

The Company also supplies certain of these products to the RV aftermarket. In addition, the Company manufactures components for truck caps; buses; and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo (“Adjacent Industries”). Approximately 83 percent of the Company’s RV Segment net sales for the last twelve months were components to manufacturers of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs. Travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs accounted for 84 percent of all RVs shipped by the industry during the last twelve months.

 

The Company’s MH Segment manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent, modular housing and mobile office units, including:

 

●     Vinyl and aluminum windows and screens

●     Steel chassis
●     Thermoformed bath and kitchen products ●     Steel chassis parts
●     Steel and fiberglass entry doors ●     Axles
●     Aluminum and vinyl patio doors  

    

The Company also supplies certain of these products to the manufactured housing aftermarket. Certain of the Company’s MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both types of homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed.

 

Because of fluctuations in dealer inventories, and changes in economic conditions, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

 

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

 

Recreational Vehicle Industry

 

An RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or seasonal use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, fifth-wheel travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers).

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

 

   According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, the Company’s primary RV markets, increased 11 percent in the first six months of 2013 to 146,600 units, compared to the first six months of 2012, as a result of:

 

 

An estimated 12,300 unit increase in retail demand in the first six months of 2013, or 10 percent, as compared to the same period of 2012.

 

RV dealers seasonally increasing inventory levels by an estimated 2,800 more units in the first half of 2013 than in the first half of 2012, in anticipation of strong retail demand in the upcoming Summer selling season.

 

  In anticipation of strong retail demand, RV dealers across the U.S. and Canada added an estimated aggregate of 33,400 travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs to their inventories between October 2012 and June 2013, compared to the 23,500 units added during the same period a year earlier. Despite this year-over-year seasonal increase, most analysts believe dealer inventories are in-line with anticipated retail demand. Moreover, some analysts have reported that we may be in the beginning stages of an RV replacement cycle.

 

  While the Company measures its RV sales against industry-wide wholesale shipment statistics, the underlying health of the RV industry is determined by retail demand. A comparison of the number of units and the year-over-year percentage change in industry-wide wholesale shipments and retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, as reported by Statistical Surveys, Inc., as well as the resulting change in dealer inventories, for both the United States and Canada, is as follows:

Retail sales data for June 2013 has not been published; therefore retail and dealer inventory data includes an estimate for retail units sold.

 

In May 2013, the RVIA projected an 8 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs for 2013, to 261,500 units. Since industry-wide wholesale shipments increased 11 percent in the first half of 2013, this implies that industry-wide wholesale shipments in the second half of 2013 would be 3 percent higher than the second half of 2012. Further, while production over the last six months was strong, unless retail demand matches these production levels, dealers could reduce the pace of their orders, and our customers, the original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), would need to adjust their production levels in future months. Retail sales in the traditionally strong Summer selling season will be a key indicator of consumer demand for RVs in 2013.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

 

Retail sales of RVs have historically been closely tied to general economic conditions, as well as consumer confidence which, as reported by The Conference Board, reached a more than five-year high in June 2013. In July 2013, consumer confidence declined slightly, but remained close to the five-year high. The Company also remains confident in its ability to exceed industry growth rates through new product introductions, market share gains, acquisitions and ongoing investments in research and development, engineering, quality and customer service.

 

In the long term, the Company expects RV industry sales to be aided by positive demographics and the continued popularity of the “RV Lifestyle”. Further, the number of consumers between the ages of 55 and 70 will total 56 million by 2020, 27 percent higher than in 2010, according to U.S. Census figures, and one in ten vehicle-owning households between 50 and 64 own at least one RV.

 

Further, the RVIA has a generic advertising campaign promoting the “RV lifestyle”. The current campaign is targeted at both parents aged 30-49 with children at home, as well as couples aged 50-64 with no children at home. The popularity of traveling in RVs to NASCAR and other sporting events, more family-oriented domestic vacations, and using RVs as second homes, also appear to motivate consumer demand for RVs. RVIA studies indicate that RV vacations cost significantly less than other forms of vacation.

 

Manufactured Housing Industry

 

Manufactured homes are built entirely in a factory on permanent steel undercarriages or chassis to which axles and wheels are attached. The homes are then transported to a manufactured housing dealer which sells and transports the home to the buyer’s home site. The manufactured home is installed pursuant to a federal building code administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). The federal standards regulate manufactured housing design and construction, methods to site and secure the home at a home site, strength and durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD code also sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. It is the only federally regulated national building code. On-site additions, such as garages, decks and porches, often add to the attractiveness of manufactured homes and must be built to local, state or regional building codes. A manufactured home may be sited on owned or leased land.

 

Manufactured homes contain one or more “floors” or sections which can be joined to make larger homes. A typical section may range in size from 800 to 1,200 square feet. During the first six months of 2013, multi-section homes were 53 percent of the total manufactured homes produced, consistent with 2012 and 2011. Multi-section homes averaged 64 percent of the total manufactured homes produced between 2007 and 2010. Multi-section manufactured homes contain more of the Company’s products than single-section manufactured homes.

 

The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (“IBTS”) reported that for the first six months of 2013, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 29,100 units, an increase of 5 percent compared to the first six months of 2012. In the second quarter of 2013, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 16,300 units, an increase of 9 percent compared to the same period of 2012.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

 

Industry-wide wholesale shipments by the manufactured housing industry have declined since 1999 for a variety of reasons. Because of the current real estate, credit and economic environment, including the availability of foreclosed site built homes at abnormally low prices and high interest rate spreads between conventional mortgages for site-built homes and loans for manufactured homes, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes may remain low until these conditions improve. In addition, certain provisions of the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act, which regulate financial transactions, could make certain types of mortgages more difficult to obtain – in particular those historically used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes. Although new legislation has been introduced to address this matter, there can be no assurance of the outcome of this legislation.

 

Nevertheless, the Company believes that long-term growth prospects for manufactured housing remain positive because of (i) the quality and affordability of the home, (ii) favorable demographic trends, including the increasing number of retirees who, in the past, had represented a significant market for manufactured homes, and (iii) pent-up demand by retirees who have been unable or unwilling to sell their primary residence and purchase a manufactured home.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Consolidated Highlights

 

 

The Company’s net sales in the 2013 second quarter increased to a record $287 million, 14 percent higher than in the 2012 second quarter. This sales growth was primarily the result of a 16 percent increase in net sales by Drew’s RV Segment, which accounted for 88 percent of Drew’s consolidated net sales in the quarter. RV Segment net sales growth was primarily due to a 12 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, Drew’s primary RV market. Sales of recently introduced components for towable and motorhome RVs also contributed to the revenue increase, as did sales to adjacent industries and the aftermarket.

 

Net sales for the twelve months ended June 2013 exceeded $966 million, a Company record for any twelve month period.

 

 

 

In July 2013, consolidated net sales reached $83 million – 13 percent higher than in July 2012 – as a result of continued solid growth in the Company’s RV Segment. The Company estimates that industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs increased 7 percent in July 2013 compared to July 2012. The Company also estimates that July 2013 industry-wide production of manufactured homes increased 5 to 10 percent compared to July 2012. Industry statistics for July 2013 are not yet available.

 

 

For the second quarter of 2013, the Company reported net income of $15.9 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, net of a previously announced after-tax charge of $0.4 million related to executive succession. Excluding this charge, net income in the second quarter of 2013 would have been $16.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, an increase of 39 percent compared to net income of $11.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012.

 

The Company’s operating profit margin in the second quarter of 2013 improved from the second quarter of 2012, and also improved sequentially from the first quarter of 2013. In the 2013 second quarter, the Company’s operating profit margin before executive succession charges was 9.2 percent, compared to 5.8 percent in the 2013 first quarter. In the second quarter of 2013, labor efficiencies continued to improve, with labor costs as a percent of net sales declining by 0.6 percent compared to the first quarter of 2013. This followed a sequential reduction of labor as a percent of sales of more than 1 percent in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. These reductions in labor costs as a percent of sales during the first two quarters of 2013 were primarily due to improved production processes implemented by management, as well as expected declines in the costs of implementing facility consolidations and realignments. The second quarter of 2013 also benefitted from the spreading of fixed costs over a seasonally larger sales base and seasonally lower payroll taxes. The Company is continuing to implement additional efficiency improvements as they are identified. However, the benefits of such improvements on operating margins in the latter half of 2013 will likely be offset by the spreading of fixed costs over a seasonally smaller sales base.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

In response to the substantial increase in sales over the past several quarters, and in anticipation of future growth, the Company added significant resources, investing in personnel and facilities to expand and improve production capacity and efficiencies, as well as to improve customer service. In many product lines, the Company has begun to realize the benefits of these initiatives. However, the full impact of these plans will take time to realize.

In addition, the Company plans to invest in areas where it believes additional savings can be realized, such as purchasing, automation and human resources. While some of these initiatives and related fixed costs may have a negative impact on operating margins in the short term, the Company believes they will benefit the long-term growth of the Company.

 

 

On May 10, 2013, as previously announced, Fredric M. Zinn retired as President and Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Jason D. Lippert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Scott T. Mereness, President of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as President of Drew. The Company also relocated its corporate headquarters from White Plains, New York to Elkhart County, Indiana, the location of the corporate headquarters of Lippert Components and Kinro.

 

In connection with the Company’s executive succession and corporate relocation, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $1.8 million in the first six months of 2013, including $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, related to contractual obligations for severance and the acceleration of equity awards held by certain employees whose employment terminated as a result of the executive succession and relocation to Indiana. No other related charges are expected. The liability for executive succession and severance obligations will be paid through 2015. Once the transition and corporate office relocation are completed during the latter half of 2013, the Company expects to save an estimated $2 million annually in general and administrative costs.

 

 

 

At June 30, 2013, the Company had $31.9 million of cash, no debt, and substantial available borrowing capacity. The Company remains well positioned to continue to take advantage of investment opportunities to further improve results.

RV Segment – Second Quarter

 

Net sales of the RV Segment in the second quarter of 2013 increased 16 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. Net sales of components were to the following markets for the three months ended June 30, (in thousands):

The Company’s net sales growth in components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the second quarter of 2013 exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs primarily due to market share gains of $3 million.

 

The increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhomes during the second quarter of 2013 was greater than the Company’s increase in net sales of motorhome components during the same period, primarily due to customer mix. Over the past few years, the Company has been expanding its product line of components for motorhomes in order to increase its customer base and market penetration.

 

The Company’s net sales to the RV aftermarket and adjacent industries, including components for truck caps, buses, and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, increased during the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to market share gains. The Company believes there are significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket and adjacent industries.

 

The trend in the Company’s average product content per RV produced is an indicator of the Company’s overall market share of components for new RVs. The Company’s average product content per type of RV, calculated based upon the Company’s net sales of components to RV OEMs for the different types of RVs produced for the twelve months ended June 30, divided by the industry-wide wholesale shipments of the different types of RVs for the same period, was:

(Continued)

 

The Company’s average product content per type of RV excludes sales to the aftermarket and adjacent industries. Content per RV is impacted by market share gains, acquisitions and new product introductions, as well as changes in selling prices for the Company’s products. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company refined the calculation of content per unit. This refinement had no impact on total RV Segment net sales or trends. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

 

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $22.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, an improvement of $7.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. The operating profit margin of the RV Segment in the second quarter of 2013 was positively impacted by:

 

 

Lower material costs. After increasing temporarily in the latter part of 2012, steel and aluminum costs declined over the first half of 2013. In addition, material costs in the second quarter of 2012 were negatively impacted by increased outsourcing costs due to capacity limitations, as well as higher scrap costs due to production inefficiencies. Despite recent increases in steel costs, the Company does not expect any significant changes in material costs as a percent of net sales for the third quarter of 2013. However, material costs remain volatile.

 

 

Improved labor efficiencies, primarily due to improved production processes implemented by management. The Company is continuing to implement additional efficiency improvements as they are identified.

 

 

The spreading of fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs over a $35 million larger sales base.

 

Partially offset by:

 

 

Fixed costs were approximately $4 million to $5 million higher than in the second quarter of 2012. In response to the substantial increase in sales over the past several quarters, and in anticipation of future growth, the Company added significant resources, investing in personnel and facilities to expand and improve production capacity and efficiencies, as well as to improve customer service. In many product lines, the Company has begun to realize the benefits of these initiatives. However, the full impact of these plans will take time to realize.

 

 

In addition, the Company plans to invest in areas where it believes additional savings can be realized, such as purchasing, automation and human resources. While some of these initiatives and related fixed costs may have a negative impact on operating margins in the short term, the Company believes they will benefit the long-term growth of the Company.

 

 

Incentive compensation, which is based on profits, rather than sales, did not change proportionately with net sales.

 

 

Higher warranty costs, primarily due to higher claims experience.

Lower material costs. After increasing temporarily in the latter part of 2012, steel and aluminum costs declined over the first half of 2013. In addition, material costs in the first six months of 2012 were negatively impacted by increased outsourcing costs due to capacity limitations, as well as higher scrap costs due to production inefficiencies. Despite recent increases in steel costs, the Company does not expect any significant changes in material costs as a percent of net sales for the third quarter of 2013. However, material costs remain volatile.

Improved labor efficiencies, primarily due to improved production processes implemented by management. The Company is continuing to implement additional efficiency improvements as they are identified.

 

 

The spreading of fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs over a $63 million larger sales base.

 

Partially offset by:

 

 

Fixed costs were approximately $9 million higher than in the first six months of 2012. In response to the substantial increase in sales over the past several quarters, and in anticipation of future growth, the Company added significant resources, investing in personnel and facilities to expand and improve production capacity and efficiencies, as well as to improve customer service. In many product lines, the Company has begun to realize the benefits of these initiatives. However, the full impact of these plans will take time to realize.

 

 

In addition, the Company plans to invest in areas where it believes additional savings can be realized, such as purchasing, automation and human resources. While some of these initiatives and related fixed costs may have a negative impact on operating margins in the short term, the Company believes they will benefit the long-term growth of the Company.

 

 

Higher warranty costs, primarily due to higher claims experience, as well as higher supplies and repairs.

 

MH Segment – Second Quarter

 

Net sales of the MH Segment in the second quarter of 2013 increased 5 percent compared to the same period of 2012. Net sales of components were to the following markets for the three months ended June 30, (in thousands):

                    The Company’s net sales growth in components for new manufactured homes was less than the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes, primarily due to customer mix as the Company’s content per unit varies between customers.

 

Net sales to adjacent industries increased due to market share gains. The Company believes there are opportunities in these adjacent industries, as well as in the manufactured housing aftermarket.

(Continued)

 

The trend in the Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced is an indicator of the Company’s overall market share of components for new manufactured homes. Manufactured homes contain one or more “floors” or sections which can be joined to make larger homes. The larger homes typically contain more of the Company’s products. The Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced by the industry and total manufactured home floors produced by the industry, calculated based upon the Company’s net sales of components to manufactured housing OEMs for newly produced manufactured homes for the twelve month periods ended June 30, divided by the number of manufactured homes and manufactured home floors produced by the industry, respectively, for the same period, was:

   

Content per:

 

2013

   

2012

   

Change

 

Home produced

  $ 1,426     $ 1,476       (3 %)

Floor produced

  $ 923     $ 976       (5 %)

 

The Company’s average product content per manufactured home excludes sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket and sales to adjacent industries. Content per manufactured home and content per floor are impacted by market share changes, acquisitions and new product introductions, as well as changes in selling prices for the Company’s products.

 

The Company’s content per manufactured home produced for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 declined from the prior year period primarily due to customer mix as the Company’s content per unit varies between customers.

 

Operating profit of the MH Segment was $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a gain of $0.4 million, which did not recur in the second quarter of 2013.

 

MH Segment – Year to Date

 

Net sales of the MH Segment in the first six months of 2013 increased 4 percent compared to the same period of 2012. Net sales of components were to the following markets for the six months ended June 30, (in thousands):

(Continued)

 

Net sales to adjacent industries increased due to market share gains. The Company believes there are opportunities in these adjacent industries, as well as in the manufactured housing aftermarket.

 

Operating profit of the MH Segment was $6.3 million in the first six months of 2013, a decrease of $0.7 million compared to the first six months of 2012. This decrease was primarily due to increased labor and related costs, partially offset by lower raw material costs. Further, during the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a gain of $0.4 million, which did not recur in the second quarter of 2013.

 

Executive Succession

 

On May 10, 2013, as previously announced, Fredric M. Zinn retired as President and Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Jason D. Lippert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as Chief Executive Officer of Drew. Scott T. Mereness, President of Lippert Components and Kinro, succeeded Mr. Zinn as President of Drew. The Company also relocated its corporate headquarters from White Plains, New York to Elkhart County, Indiana, the location of the corporate headquarters of Lippert Components and Kinro.

 

In connection with the Company’s executive succession and corporate relocation, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $1.8 million in the first six months of 2013, including $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, related to contractual obligations for severance and the acceleration of equity awards held by certain employees whose employment terminated as a result of the executive succession and relocation to Indiana. No other related charges are expected. The liability for executive succession and severance obligations will be paid through 2015. Once the transition and corporate office relocation are completed during the latter half of 2013, the Company expects to save an estimated $2 million annually in general and administrative costs.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2013 was 38.0 percent, higher than the 37.0 percent income tax rate for the first six months of 2012. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2012 benefitted from the reversal of federal and state tax reserves, due to the closure of federal and state tax years, which did not recur in the first six months of 2013. The Company estimates that the full year 2013 effective income tax rate will be approximately 37 percent to 38 percent.

Cash Flows from Operations

 

Significant changes in the components of cash flows from operations for the first six months of 2013 were a result of:

 

 

A $16.9 million smaller increase in accounts payable in the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012, primarily due to the timing of purchases and payments for inventory.

 

 

A $3.6 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the first six months of 2013 compared to an increase of $4.6 million in the first six months of 2012. During the first six months of 2013, the Company’s Federal income tax overpayment from 2012 was applied against its estimated 2013 tax liability.

 

Partially offset by:

 

 

A $9.2 million larger seasonal increase in accounts receivable, primarily due to increased sales and the timing of payments by the Company’s customers. Accounts receivable balances remain current, with only 20 days sales outstanding at June 30, 2013.

 

 

An increase in inventories of $2.4 million in the first six months of 2013 compared to a $1.2 million decrease in inventories in the first six months of 2012. In anticipation of the seasonally changing sales patterns, inventory increased $12.8 million in the first three months of 2013, and then decreased $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2013. Inventory turnover for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 remained consistent with the full year 2012 at 7.8 turns, an improvement from the 7.1 turns for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012.

 

 

Over the long term, based on the Company’s historical collection and payment patterns, as well as inventory turnover, the Company expects working capital to increase or decrease equivalent to approximately 10 percent to 12 percent of the corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, especially in the short term.

 

At June 30, 2013, the Company had derivative instruments for 1.4 million pounds of aluminum, approximately 5 percent of the Company’s anticipated annual aluminum purchases, in order to manage a portion of the exposure to movements associated with aluminum prices. These derivative instruments expire through September 2013 at an average Midwest aluminum price of $1.02 per pound. While these derivative instruments are considered to be economic hedges of the underlying movement in the price of aluminum, they are not designated or accounted for as a hedge. At June 30, 2013, the Midwest aluminum price was $0.95 per pound. During the first six months of 2013, derivative instruments for 3.3 million pounds of aluminum were settled at a loss of $0.1 million.

 

Depreciation and amortization was $13.5 million in the first six months of 2013, and is expected to aggregate $26 million to $28 million for the full year 2013. Non-cash stock-based compensation in the first six months of 2013 was $5.8 million, and is expected to be approximately $10 million to $11 million for the full year 2013.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Cash flows used for investing activities of $19.0 million in the six months of 2013 were primarily for capital expenditures. In order to better serve its customers and meet the increased demand for its products, the Company continues to invest in both capacity expansion and cost reduction initiatives.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

 

The Company’s capital expenditures are primarily for replacement and growth. Over the long term, based on the Company’s historical capital expenditures, the replacement portion has averaged approximately 1.5 percent of net sales, while the growth portion has averaged approximately 10 percent of the annual increase in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, such as new initiatives by the Company, especially in the short term.

 

The Company estimates that capital expenditures will be $30 million to $34 million in 2013, including $16 million to $18 million of “replacement’ capital expenditures and $10 million to $16 million of “growth’ capital expenditures. The growth capital expenditures for 2013 include a new glass tempering line, metal fabrication equipment and new ERP software. Additional capital expenditures may be required in 2013 depending on the extent of sales growth, and other initiatives by the Company.

 

The capital expenditures during the first six months of 2013 were funded from available cash plus periodic borrowings under the Company’s $50 million line of credit. The capital expenditures for the balance of 2013 are expected to be funded from available cash.

 

On June 24, 2013, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Midstates Tool & Die and Engineering, Inc. (“Midstates”). Midstates is a manufacturer of tools and dies, as well as automation equipment. The acquired business had annualized sales of approximately $2 million. The purchase price was $1.5 million paid at closing.

 

In the first six months of 2012, cash flows used for investing activities of $12.6 million were primarily for capital expenditures of $13.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets of $2.1 million. In addition, on February 21, 2012, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of the United States RV entry door operation of Euramax International, Inc. The acquired business had annualized sales of approximately $6 million. The purchase price was $1.7 million, of which $1.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid over the subsequent three years.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

In the first six months of 2013, the Company received $10.7 million in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation, partially offset by $2.8 million in payments for contingent consideration related to acquisitions.

 

In connection with several business acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a $9.7 million liability for the aggregate fair value of these expected contingent consideration liabilities at June 30, 2013. The Company expects to pay $5.9 million over the next twelve months related to these contingent consideration liabilities. For further information see Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

At June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding debt and $31.9 million of cash. However, due to the seasonal increase in working capital during the first six months of 2013, the Company borrowed periodically under its line of credit, with such borrowings reaching a high of $21.2 million.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

 

On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a $50.0 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Lenders”). The maximum borrowings under the Company’s line of credit can be increased by $20.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Prime Rate, but not less than 2.5 percent, plus additional interest up to 0.8 percent (0 percent at June 30, 2013), or (ii) LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 2.0 percent to 2.8 percent (2.0 percent at June 30, 2013) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires on January 1, 2016. At June 30, 2013, the Company had $2.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company’s line of credit was $47.7 million at June 30, 2013.

 

Simultaneously, the Company entered into a $150.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”). The facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. At June 30, 2013, there were no Senior Promissory Notes outstanding. This facility expires on February 24, 2014.

 

Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at June 30, 2013. The remaining availability under these facilities was $197.7 million at June 30, 2013. The Company believes this availability, together with the $31.9 million in cash at June 30, 2013, is more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

 

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility, at June 30, 2013 the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

 

Borrowings under both the line of credit and the “shelf-loan” facility are secured on a pari-passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.

 

The Company is currently negotiating a two-year extension of its line of credit and shelf loan facility, as well as a $25 million increase in its line of credit. The Company is extending these arrangements now because the shelf loan facility expires in February 2014, and current market conditions are favorable.

 

In 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in block trades. Of this authorization, 535,135 shares were repurchased prior to 2013 at an average price of $18.64 per share, or $10.0 million. The number of shares ultimately repurchased, and the timing of the purchases, will depend upon market conditions, share price and other factors.

 

There were no significant cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

The Company is in compliance with the corporate governance requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s governance documents and committee charters and key practices have been posted to the Company’s website (www.drewindustries.com) and are updated periodically. The website also contains, or provides direct links to, all SEC filings, press releases and investor presentations. The Company has also established a Whistleblower Policy, which includes a toll-free hotline (877-373-9123) to report complaints about the Company’s accounting, internal controls, auditing matters or other concerns. The whistleblower policy and procedure for complaints can be found on the Company’s website (www.drewindustries.com).

 

CONTINGENCIES

 

Additional information required by this item is included under Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

INFLATION

 

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of steel and aluminum, and components used by the Company which are made from these raw materials, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of these commodities have historically been volatile, and over the past few months prices have continued to fluctuate. The Company did not experience any significant increase in its labor costs in the first six months of 2013 related to inflation.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

There were no accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, sales rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, executive succession, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

 

This Form 10-Q 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, growth opportunities for existing products, acquisitions, plans and objectives of management, markets for the Company’s Common Stock and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

 

Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to our future business prospects, net sales, expenses and income (loss), cash flow, and financial condition, whenever they occur in this Form 10-Q are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management at the time such statements were made, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of various important factors, including those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, in addition to other matters described in this Form 10-Q, pricing pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of raw materials (particularly steel, steel-based components and aluminum) and other components, availability of credit for financing the retail and wholesale purchase of products for which we sell our components, availability and costs of labor, inventory levels of retail dealers and manufacturers, levels of repossessed products for which we sell our components, changes in zoning regulations for manufactured homes, seasonality and cyclicality in the industries to which we sell our products, the financial condition of our customers, the financial condition of retail dealers of products for which we sell our components, retention and concentration of significant customers, the successful integration of acquisitions, realization of efficiency improvements, the successful entry into new markets, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, and the successful implementation of management succession. In addition, international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence affect the retail sale of products for which we sell our components.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company has historically been exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its financing activities. At June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings.

 

The Company is also exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials, specifically steel and aluminum. The Company has entered into derivative instruments for the purpose of managing a portion of the exposures associated with fluctuations in aluminum prices. While these derivative instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, these fluctuations are generally offset by the changes in fair value of the underlying exposures. See Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of derivative instruments.

 

The Company has historically been able to obtain sales price increases to offset the majority of raw material cost increases. However, there can be no assurance that 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.

 

   Additional information required by this item is included under the caption “Inflation” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Report.

 

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

 

a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s 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 the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, in accordance with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management included in its evaluation the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company continually evaluates its disclosure controls and procedures to determine if changes are appropriate based upon changes in the Company’s operations or the business environment in which it operates.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

 

b)

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 or subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company has selected a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, and has begun implementing that system. Although to date there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls, the Company anticipates internal controls will be strengthened incrementally due both to the installation of the new ERP software and business process changes. The full implementation is expected to take several years.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2013, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.
