OVERVIEW OF MARKETS AND RELATED INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE
Second Quarter and Six Months 2021 Financial Overview
Recreational Vehicle ("RV") Industry
The RV industry is our largest market and comprised 58% and 48% of the Company’s sales in the second quarter ended June 27, 2021 and June 28, 2020, respectively, and 59% and 52% for the comparative 2021 and 2020 six month periods. Sales to the RV industry increased 192% in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 109% in the first six months of 2021, compared to the prior year periods.
According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association ("RVIA"), wholesale shipments totaled approximately 151,800 units in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 101% compared to approximately 75,700 units in the second quarter of 2020. Wholesale unit shipments for the first six months of 2021 totaled approximately 300,300 units, an increase of 71% compared to approximately 176,100 units in the prior year. The increase in wholesale unit shipments in

the second quarter and first six months of 2021 is attributed to an increase in RV dealer demand for RV units. In addition, the increase in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 reflects the comparison to the sharp decrease in wholesale unit shipments in the second quarter of 2020, which was a result of COVID-19-related production shutdowns at original equipment manufacturers' plants. This increase in dealer demand is correlated with consumer demand for RV units, which we believe reflects changes in consumer recreation patterns, which include an increased interest in outdoor recreation. According to our estimates, RV dealer inventories are trending at historical lows relative to what we understand to be typical inventory levels of RV dealers. We believe that the supply-demand dynamics of historically low dealer inventory levels, combined with strong retail consumer demand, have resulted in positive momentum in our RV end market. We estimate RV retail unit sales increased 30-35% in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 37-40% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year periods.
Marine Industry
Sales to the marine industry, which represented approximately 16% and 14% of the Company's consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, increased 182% compared to the prior year quarter. For the first six months of 2021 and 2020, sales to the marine industry represented 16% and 13% of consolidated net sales, respectively, increasing 121% in 2021 compared to the prior year.
Our marine revenue is generally correlated to marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments, and according to National Marine Manufacturers Association ("NMMA") marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments increased an estimate d 26% for the second quarter 2021 and increased an estimated 16% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year periods. Marine retail powerboat unit sales were nearly unchanged in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 8% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year periods. We estimate that marine retail sales substantially exceeded marine wholesale unit shipments in both the second quarter and six months of 2021, resulting in marine dealer inventory levels that we believe are at their lowest in at least a decade.
Manufactured Housing ("MH") Industry
Sales to the MH industry, which represented 14% and 21% of the Company’s sales in the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, increased 54% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. MH sales represented 14% and 20% of the Company's sales for the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and increased 28% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year period. Based on industry data from the Manufactured Housing Institute, MH wholesale unit shipments increased 31% in the second quarter of 2021 and increase d 16% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year periods.
Industrial Market
The industrial market is comprised primarily of the kitchen cabinet and countertop industry, hospitality market, retail and commercial fixtures market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors. Sales to this market represented 12% and 17% of our sales in the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and increased 69% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year quarter. Sales to the industrial market represented 11% and 15% of our sales for the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and increased 41% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year period. Overall, our revenues in these markets are focused on the residential and multifamily housing, hospitality, high-rise housing and office, commercial construction and institutional furniture markets. We estimate that approximately 70% of our industrial business is directly tied to the residential housing market, with the remaining 30% directly tied to the non-residential and commercial markets.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, combined new housing starts increased 43% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year quarter, with single family housing starts increasing 42% and multifamily residential starts increasing 4 8% f or the same period. For the first six months of 2021, combined new housing starts increased 25%, with single family housing starts increasing 31% and multifamily housing starts increasing 14% compared to 2020. Our industrial products are generally among the last components installed in new unit construction and as such our related sales typically trail new housing starts by four to six months.

Net Sales . Net sales in the second quarter of 2021 increased $596.0 million, or 141%, to $1,020.0 million from $424.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. The net sales increase in the second quarter of 2021 reflects strong demand for our products across all end markets as well as the comparison to the second quarter of 2020, which reflects the impact to net sales of COVID-19-related production shutdowns. The Company's RV market sales increased 192%, marine market sales increased 182%, industrial market sales increased 69% and MH market sales increased 54% when compared to the prior year quarter.
Net sales in the first six months of 2021 increased $857.1 million, or 85%, to $1,870.4 million from $1,013.3 million in the first six months of 2020. The net sales increase in the first six months of 2021 reflects sales increases in all of our end markets, while sales in the first six months of 2020 also reflect the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above. The Company's RV market sales increased 109%, marine market sales increased 121%, MH market sales increased 28% and industrial market sales increased 41% when compared to the prior year period.
27
Revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in the first six months of 2021 was $56.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $62.1 million for the first six months of 2021. Revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in the first six months of 2020 was $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $3.8 million for the first six months of 2020.
The Company’s RV content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the second quarter of 2021 increased approximately 15% to $3,543 from $3,086 for the second quarter of 2020. Marine powerboat content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the second quarter of 2021 increased approximatel y 60% to an estimated $2,841 from $1,775 for the second quarter of 2020. MH content per wholesale unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) for the second quarter of 2021 increased approximately 7% to $4,799 from $4,501 for the second quarter of 2020.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $465.2 million, or 133%, to $815.5 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $350.3 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased 260 basis points during the second quarter of 2021 to 80.0% from 82.6% in 2020.
Cost of goods sold in the first six months increased $674.3 million, or 81%, to $1,504.4 million from $830.1 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased 150 basis points during the first six months of 2021 to 80.4% from 81.9% in 2020.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 primarily as a result of (i) continued cost reduction and automation initiatives we deployed throughout 2020 and into 2021, (ii) volume-driven efficiencies as a result of leveraging fixed overhead, (iii) a recovery from the production inefficiencies experienced while operating in a COVID-19 environment, and (iv) synergies and different cost profiles from our 2021 and 2020 acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in labor and certain commodity cost inputs. In general, the Company's cost of goods sold percentage can be impacted from quarter-to-quarter by demand changes in certain market sectors that can result in fluctuating costs of certain raw materials and commodity-based components that are utilized in the production of our products.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $130.8 million, or 177%, to $204.5 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $73.7 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 260 basis points to 20.0% in the second quarter of 2021 from 17.4% in the same period in 2020.
Gross profit increased $182.8 million, or 100%, to $366.0 million in the first six months of 2021 from $183.2 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 150 basis points to 19.6% in the second quarter of 2021 from 18.1% in the same period in 2020.
The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter and six months ended June 27, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 reflects the impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”.
Warehouse and Delivery Expenses . Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $14.6 million, or 72%, to $34.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses improved 140 basis points to 3.4% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 4.8% in the second quarter of 2020.
Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $19.8 million, or 44%, to $64.7 million in the first six months of 2021 from $44.9 million in the first six months of 2020. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses improved 110 basis points to 3.5% in the first six months of 2021 compared to 4.4% in the prior year period.
The increases in warehouse and delivery expenses are attributable to the significant increases in sales. However, the decreases as a percentage of sales are primarily attributable to leveraging certain fixed warehousing costs and the lower proportion of MH sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 as compared to 2020, which have higher warehouse and delivery costs as a percentage of net sales. In addition, the second quarter and first six months of 2020 reflect operating inefficiencies associated with COVID-19 disruptions.
28
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses . SG&A expenses increased $28.8 million, or 91%, to $60.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $31.6 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.9% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 7.5% in the second quarter of 2020.
SG&A expenses increased $44.1 million, or 63%, to $111.6 million in the first six months of 2021 from $67.5 million in the first six months of 2020. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.9% in the first six months of 2021 compared to 6.7% in the first six months of 2020.
The increase in SG&A expenses in the second quarter and six months of 2021 compared to 2020 is primarily due to (i) the increase in net sales; (ii) increases in the breadth and depth of corporate resources to support the size and growth of the Company and (iii) the comparison to the prior year, which includes SG&A cost reduction measures in the second quarter of 2020. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased 160 basis points for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 and decreased 70 basis points for the first six months of 2021 when compared to the prior year period. These improvements are attributable to the fixed nature of certain SG&A costs.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $4.2 million, or 44%, to $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $9.8 million in the prior year quarter. Amortization of intangible assets increased $6.5 million, or 34%, to $25.9 million in the first six months of 2021 from $19.4 million in the first six months of 2020. The increases in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year periods primarily reflects the impact of businesses acquired in 2020 and 2021.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $83.2 million, or 687%, to $95.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $12.1 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased 640 basis points to 9.3% in the second quarter of 2021 versus 2.9% in the same period in 2020. Operating income increased $150.9 million, or 294%, to $202.3 million in the first six months of 2021 from $51.4 million in 2020. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased 570 basis points to 10.8% in the first six months of 2021 versus 5.1% in the same period in 2020. The change in operating income and operating margin is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $3.8 million, or 35%, to $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $10.8 million in the prior year. Interest expense increased $4.5 million, or 21%, to $25.8 million in the first six months of 2021 from $21.3 million in the prior year.
The increase in interest expense reflects (i) increased borrowings related to 2020 and 2021 acquisitions and (ii) the Company's issuance of its 4.75% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "4.75% Senior Notes") in April 2021 (as described in Note 9 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), partially offset by a decrease in variable interest rates on the unhedged portions of the Company's term loan and revolving credit facility.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $21.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 to $21.7 million from $0.6 million in the prior year period. Income tax expense increased $23.3 million in the first six months of 2021, to $31.5 million from $8.2 million in the prior year period.
The increase in income tax expense is due primarily to an increase in pretax income. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 was 26.9% and 44.4%, respectively. The higher 2020 rate primarily reflects the impact of $2.2 million in permanent tax differences due to certain Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act payroll tax credits. The effective tax rates in the first six months of 2021 and 2020 were 22.8% and 27.2%, respectively. The 2021 rate includes the impact of the recognition of excess tax benefits on share-based compensation that was recorded as a reduction to income tax expense in the amount of $5.7 million, while the 2020 rate reflects the impact of the permanent tax differences mentioned above.
Use of Financial Metrics
Our MD&A includes financial metrics, such as RV, marine and MH content per unit, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance. Content per unit metrics are generally calculated using our market sales divided by third-party measures of industry volume. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to U.S.
29
GAAP. Our computations of content per unit may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These metrics should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
The Company's reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, are based on its method of internal reporting. The Company regularly evaluates the performance of the Manufacturing and Distribution segments and allocates resources to them based on a variety of indicators including sales and operating income. The Company does not measure profitability at the customer market (RV, marine, MH and industrial) level.

Manufacturing
Sales. Sales increased $447.4 million, or 150%, to $745.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $297.7 million in the prior year quarter. For the first six months of 2021, sales increased $635.1 million, or 88%, to $1,359.6 million from $724.5 million in the prior year period. This segment accounted for approximately 72% and 69% of the Company’s sales for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 71% and 70% for the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The sales increase in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 was attributed to sales increases in all four of the Company's end markets, where sales to each of the RV and marine end markets increased 185 %, MH increased 88% and industrial increased 73%. The sales increase for the first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year period was also attributed to sales increases in all four end markets, where RV end market sales increased 98%, marine increased 122 %, MH increased 52% and industrial increased 42%. Net sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first six months of 2021 were approximately $41.9 million and $46.7 million, respectively, and net sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2020 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first six months of 2020 were $3.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
Gross Profit . Gross profit increased $101.6 million, or 208%, to $150.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $49.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, gross profit increased $143.6 million, or 113%, to $271.5 million from $127.9 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 20.2% in the second quarter of 2021 from 16.4% in the second quarter of 2020 and increased to 20.0% in the first six months of 2021 from 17.7% in the prior year period.
Gross profit margin increased during the second quarter of 2021 compared to second quarter of 2020 primarily due to (i) a 550 basis point improvement in manufacturing overhead expense as a percentage of sales, as certain of these costs are fixed in nature and (ii) a 60 basis point improvement in direct labor as a percentage of sales. These two improvements as a percentage of net sales were partially offset by a 220 basis point increase in materials as a percentage of sales.
Gross profit margin increased during the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to (i) a 350 basis point improvement in manufacturing overhead expense as a percentage of sales, as certain of these costs are fixed in nature and (ii) a 70 basis point improvement in direct labor as a percentage of sales. These two improvements as a percentage of net sales were partially offset by a 180 basis point increase in materials as a percentage of sales.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $77.0 million, or 344%, to $99.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $22.4 million in the prior year quarter. For the first six months of 2021, operating income increased $109.8 million, or 161%, to $177.9 million from $68.1 million the prior year period. The overall increase in operating income in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 primarily reflects the items discussed above.
Distribution
Sales. Sales increased $159.8 million, or 121%, to $292.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $132.6 million in the prior year quarter. For the first six months of 2021, sales increased $239.8 million, or 79%, to $543.6 million from $303.8 million in the prior year period. This segment accounted for approximately 28% and 31% of the Company’s sales for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 29% and 30% of sales for the first six months of 2021 and 2020. The sales increase in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 was attributed to a 207% increase in our RV market sales, a 142% increase in marine market sales, a 38 % increase in industrial market sales, and a 31 % increase in MH market sales. The sales increase in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was attributed to a 134% increase in RV market sales, a 115% increase in marine market sales, a 12% increase in MH market sales and a 35% increase in industrial market sales. Net sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first six months of 2021 were approximately $14.8 million and $15.4 million, respectively, with no corresponding amount of net sales in the second quarter or first six months of 2020 attributable to acquisitions completed in the first six months of 2020.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $33.4 million, or 142%, to $56.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $23.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, gross profit increased $48.3 million, or 92%, to $100.7 million from $52.4 million the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 19.3% in the
31
second quarter of 2021 from 17.5% in the second quarter of 2020, and to 18.5% from 17.2% for the comparable six month periods. The increase in gross profit margin in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2020 is primarily attributed to the higher margin profile of a 2020 acquisition.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $24.3 million, or 346%, to $31.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $6.9 million in the prior year quarter. For the first six months of 2021, operating income increased $35.5 million or 207%, to $52.4 million from $16.9 million the prior year period. The improvement in operating income in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 primarily reflects the items discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity at June 27, 2021 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $58.4 million as well as $409.8 million of availability under our credit facility.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities are one of the Company's primary sources of liquidity, representing the net income the Company earned in the reported periods, adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $39.0 million to $78.4 million in the first six months of 2021 from $39.4 million in the first six months of 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to (i) an $86.9 million increase in net income, (ii) a $14.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization, and (iii) $15.9 million increase in deferred income taxes. These increases in sources of cash from operations were offset by an increase in use of cash for net working capital of $78.1 million, associated primarily with investments in inventory to support customer needs, growth of accounts receivable in line with net sales, and an acceleration of payments for certain inventory-related payables to maintain or enhance vendor prioritization in a dynamic supply chain environment.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $245.9 million to $280.9 million in the first six months of 2021 from $35.0 million in the first six months of 2020 primarily due to an increase in cash used in business acquisitions of $228.8 million and a $15.1 million increase in capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $248.5 million to $215.8 million in the first six months of 2021 from a $32.7 million use of cash in the first six months of 2020. The increase is primarily due to (i) proceeds of $350.0 million from the Company's issuance of its 4.75% Senior Notes, (ii) an additional $58.8 million in term loan borrowings and (iii) $3.9 million in additional proceeds from the exercise of stock options. These sources of cash were partially offset by (i) an additional $140.0 million in net revolver repayments, (ii) a $12.0 million increase in taxes paid for share-based payment arrangements, (iii) a $7.5 million increase in stock repurchases and dividends to shareholders and (iv) $5.7 million increase in payments of deferred financing costs.
Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 27, 2021, the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under its 2021 Credit Facility (as defined herein) are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on its current cash flow budgets and forecast of short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
The ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the 2021 Credit Facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the credit agreement that established the 2021 Credit Facility (the "2021 Credit Agreement").

As of and for the June 27, 2021 reporting date, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as required under the terms of its 2021 Credit Agreement. The required maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and the required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as such ratios are defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement, compared to the actual amounts as of June 27, 2021 and for the fiscal period then ended are as follows:
Required Actual
Consolidated secured net leverage ratio (12-month period) 2.75 0.43
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (12-month period) 1.50 6.92
In addition, as of June 27, 2021, the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio (12-month period) was 2.26. While this ratio was a covenant under the Company’s previous credit agreement and is not a covenant under the 2021 Credit Agreement, it is used in the determination of the applicable borrowing margin under the 2021 Credit Agreement.
Working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV, MH, marine and industrial markets we serve, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of customers. In the event that operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of the Company's capital resources were to become unavailable, the Company would seek to revise its operating strategies accordingly. The Company will continue to assess its liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.
On April 20, 2021, we completed the issuance of $350 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% Senior Notes in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 4.75% Senior Notes, which were issued at par, carry an interest rate of 4.75%. Following the completion of the offering, the Company amended and restated the credit agreement governing its then-existing $650 million senior secured credit facility to establish a new $700 million senior secured credit facility consisting of a $550 million revolving credit facility and a $150 million term loan facility (the "2021 Credit Facility"). The maturity date for borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility was extended to April 2026. The 2021 Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previously existing credit facility that was due to mature in September 2024.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies which are summarized in the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
OTHER
Seasonality
Manufacturing operations in the RV, marine and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits have generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers in the August/September timeframe as well as marine open houses in the January/February timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years due to the impact of national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, timing of dealer orders, fluctuations in dealer inventories, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer buying patterns, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated all subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date of issuance of the Form 10-Q, and there were none that required recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
