DREW INDUSTRIES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS
White Plains, New York – August 2, 2012 – Drew Industries Incorporated (NYSE: DW), a leading supplier of components for recreational vehicles (RVs) and manufactured homes, today reported net income of $11.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to net income of $11.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011.
Net sales in the 2012 second quarter increased to $251 million, a record for any quarter, and 35 percent higher than in the 2011 second quarter. This sales growth was primarily the result of a 39 percent sales increase by Drew’s RV Segment, which accounted for 87 percent of Drew’s consolidated net sales. RV Segment sales growth was largely due to acquisitions, market share gains, and an 8 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, Drew’s primary RV market. In addition, sales to adjacent markets more than doubled this quarter, largely as a result of acquisitions and an increase in sales of axles to non-RV markets. Drew’s MH Segment also reported strong sales growth in the second quarter of 2012, due to an estimated 13 percent increase in industry-wide production of manufactured homes. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, consolidated sales were up 23 percent.
Drew’s sales growth continued in July 2012, during which sales reached approximately $73 million, 49 percent higher than in July 2011. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales for July 2012 were up approximately 35 percent. It is estimated that industry-wide shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs increased 20 to 25 percent in July 2012.
Drew’s operating profit margin was 7.6 percent in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 7.8 percent in the 2012 first quarter. Profit margins continue to be impacted by excess labor, overtime, and related costs, all of which reduced net income by approximately $3.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share compared to expectations. These higher costs were the result of lower operating efficiencies due to greater-than-expected demand which caused the Company to hire, train and support 1,100 more employees than in the second quarter of 2011. Material cost as a percent of sales was also higher than in the first quarter, partly as a result of increased outsourcing costs due to capacity limitations, as well as higher scrap costs.
“As a result of higher-than-expected demand for our products throughout the second quarter of 2012, our operating margins did not improve sequentially as had been anticipated,” said Fred Zinn, Drew’s President and CEO. “In some product lines, demand exceeded our capability to efficiently produce. In order to maintain our commitments to customers for on-time delivery of quality products, we incurred substantial overtime costs and other inefficiencies. However, the increased demand for our products will ultimately benefit our long-term profitability, as we increase capacity and improve production efficiencies.”
“We continue to devote significant effort, and invest financial resources, to expand production capacity and improve production efficiencies,” said Jason Lippert, CEO of Drew’s subsidiaries, Lippert Components and Kinro. “Over the past year and a half we have added 700,000 square feet of production space, and plan to reopen some of the space we shuttered in prior years. Further, we are developing leaner manufacturing strategies, and exploring technology to improve our production capabilities. We have experienced growth surges in the past, and we have right-sized our capacity through investment in people, technology and facilities. While the full impact of such investments takes time to realize, we expect production efficiencies to improve, and we will continue to invest in order to realize our future potential.”
Recreational Vehicle (RV) Products Segment
As a result of market share gains and acquisitions, the Company’s content in travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs reached $2,596 in the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, up from $2,188 in the prior 12 month period. On a pro forma basis, including the impact of acquisitions as if they had been completed at the beginning of the period, content per travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV was $2,650 in the 12 months ended June 30, 2012.
The factors that adversely affected Drew’s consolidated results in the second quarter of 2012 were almost entirely related to the RV Segment. Further, fixed costs were approximately $2 million higher than in the second quarter of 2011, primarily due to additional staff and facilities, as well as higher amortization, largely from acquisitions and other investments. As a result, the incremental profit margin on the increase in sales, which assumes fixed costs do not change, was lower than the Company would typically expect.
For the three months ended May 2012, retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs were up 9 percent from the year-earlier period, compared to the 7 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale production over the same period. Industry surveys indicate that RV dealers are cautious, but generally comfortable with their level of towable RV inventory. Future industry-wide production levels will depend largely on the strength of retail sales levels.
Manufactured Housing (MH) Products Segment
Year-over-year industry-wide production of manufactured homes was up an estimated 13 percent in the second quarter of 2012. Despite this increase in demand, production efficiencies remained favorable in this segment of the Company’s business, because the Company has the capacity to increase production levels. As a result, MH Segment operating profit increased $1.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2011, on a $3.7 million increase in net sales.
Other Items
The Company ended the second quarter with $43 million in cash, up from $7 million at the end of 2011. The Company had no debt at either June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
