NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Drew Industries Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Drew” and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries. Drew, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert Components” or “LCI”), supplies a broad array of components in the United States and abroad for the leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and manufactured homes and for the related aftermarkets of those industries, and also supplies components for adjacent industries including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; pontoon boats; modular housing; and factory-built mobile office units. At March 31, 2016, the Company operated 44 manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada.

The RV and manufactured housing industries, as well as other industries where the Company sells products or where its products are used, historically have been seasonal and are generally at the 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. However, because of fluctuations in dealer inventories, the impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, the timing of dealer orders, and the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide shipments from time to time, 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, 2015 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 and purchase rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, net assets of acquired businesses, income taxes, warranty and product recall obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, 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 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 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 for the interim periods presented. 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. ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Acquisitions During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and Subsequent

Project 2000 S.r.l.

In May 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest of Project 2000 S.r.l. (“Project 2000”), an Italy-based manufacturer of innovative, space-saving bed lifts and retractable steps. Net sales reported by Project 2000 for 2015 were approximately $12 million. The purchase price was $18.8 million paid at closing, plus contingent consideration based on future sales by this operation.

Flair Interiors

In February 2016, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Flair Interiors, Inc. (“Flair”), a manufacturer of RV furniture. Net sales reported by Flair for 2015 were approximately $25 million. The purchase price was $8.1 million paid at closing. 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. The acquisition of this business was preliminarily recorded on the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):



Cash consideration	$	8,100

Customer relationships	$	4,000
Net other assets	2,200
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	6,200

Goodwill (tax deductible)	$	1,900

The customer relationships intangible asset is being amortized over its preliminary estimated useful life of 15 years. The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates the attainment of synergies and an increase in the markets for the acquired products.

Highwater Marine Furniture

In January 2016, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of the pontoon furniture manufacturing operation of Highwater Marine, LLC (“Highwater”), a leading manufacturer of pontoon and other recreational boats located in Elkhart, Indiana. Estimated 2015 net sales of the marine furniture business were approximately $20 million. The purchase price was $10.0 million paid at closing. 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. The acquisition of this business was preliminarily recorded on the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):



Cash consideration	$	10,000

Customer relationships	$	8,100
Net tangible assets	1,307
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	9,407

Goodwill (tax deductible)	$	593

The customer relationships intangible asset is being amortized over its preliminary estimated useful life of 15 years. The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates leveraging its existing experience and manufacturing capacity with respect to these product lines.

Acquisitions During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

EA Technologies

In January 2015, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of EA Technologies, LLC (“EA Technologies”), a manufacturer of custom steel and aluminum parts and provider of electro-deposition (‘e-coat’) and powder coating services for RV, bus, medium-duty truck, automotive, recreational marine, specialty and utility trailer, and military applications. Net sales reported by EA Technologies for 2014 were $17 million. The purchase price was $9.2 million, of which $6.6 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2014, with the balance paid at closing. 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.

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



Cash consideration	$	9,248

Customer relationships	$	400
Other identifiable intangible assets	80
Net tangible assets	8,868
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	9,348

Gain on bargain purchase	$	100

Goodwill

Goodwill by reportable segment was as follows:



(In thousands)	RV Segment			MH Segment			Total
Accumulated cost – December 31, 2015	$	124,121		$	10,025		$	134,146
Accumulated impairment – December 31, 2015	(41,276		)	(9,251		)	(50,527		)
Net balance – December 31, 2015	82,845			774			83,619
Acquisitions – 2016	2,493			—			2,493
Net balance – March 31, 2016	$	85,338		$	774		$	86,112

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. No impairment tests were required or performed during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consisted of the following at March 31, 2016:

7. LONG-TERM INDEBTEDNESS

At March 31, 2016 and 2015, and December 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its line of credit.

On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into a $75.0 million line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. On March 3, 2015, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company increased its line of credit by $25.0 million to $100.0 million. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Prime Rate, minus a rate ranging from 0.75 to 1.0 percent (minus 1.0 percent at March 31, 2016), but not less than 1.5 percent, or (ii) LIBOR, plus additional interest ranging from 1.75 to 2.0 percent (plus 1.75 percent at March 31, 2016) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. At March 31, 2016, the Company had $2.6 million in outstanding, but undrawn, standby letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company’s line of credit was $97.4 million at March 31, 2016.

On February 24, 2014, the Company also 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. On March 20, 2015, the Company issued $50.0 million of Senior Promissory Notes to Prudential for a term of five years, at a fixed interest rate of 3.35 percent per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, of which the entire amount was outstanding at March 31, 2016. Availability under the Company’s “shelf-loan” facility, subject to the approval of Prudential, was $100.0 million at March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates the carrying value, as estimated using quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows based on similar borrowing arrangements.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

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.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility, the Company is required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

Availability under both the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facilities is 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 March 31, 2016. The remaining availability under these facilities was $197.4 million at March 31, 2016.

On April 27, 2016, the Company announced the successful refinancing of the Credit Agreement through an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., and 1st Source Bank. The agreement amends and restates the existing line of credit, which was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2019, and now expires on April 27, 2021 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). In connection with this amendment and restatement, the line of credit was increased from $100.0 million million to $200.0 million, and contains a feature allowing the Company to draw up to $50.0 million in approved foreign currencies, including Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and euros. The maximum borrowings under the line of credit can be further increased by $125.0 million, subject to certain conditions. Interest on borrowings under the new line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (defined in the Amended Credit Agreement as the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate of JPMorgan Chase, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 percent and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) for a one month interest period plus 1.0 percent), plus additional interest ranging from 0.0 percent to 0.625 percent depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition, or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a period equal to one, two, three, six or twelve months as selected by the Company, plus additional interest ranging from 1.0 percent to 1.625 percent depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition.

On April 27, 2016, the Company also amended and restated its “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential to conform certain covenants and other terms to the Amended Credit Agreement. The “shelf-loan” facility expires February 24, 2017. The Company believes the availability under the Amended Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility is adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingent Consideration

In connection with certain business acquisitions, if agreed upon 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 March 31, 2016, based on the present value of the expected future cash flows using a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital of 13.9 percent.

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.

Amounts represent the fair value of estimated remaining payments. The total estimated remaining payments as of March 31, 2016 are $13.3 million. The liability for contingent consideration expires at various dates through September 2029. Certain of the contingent consideration arrangements are subject to a maximum payment amount, while the remaining arrangements have no maximum contingent consideration.

Furrion Distribution and Supply Agreement

In July 2015, the Company entered into a six-year exclusive distribution and supply agreement with Furrion Limited (“Furrion”), a Hong Kong based firm that designs, engineers and supplies premium electronics. This agreement provides the Company with the rights to distribute Furrion’s complete line of products to OEMs and aftermarket customers in the RV, specialty vehicle, utility trailer, horse trailer, marine, transit bus and school bus industries throughout the United States and Canada. Furrion currently supplies a premium line of LED televisions, sound systems, navigation systems, wireless backup cameras, solar prep units, power solutions and kitchen appliances, primarily to the RV industry.

In connection with this agreement, the Company entered into the following minimum purchase obligations (“MPOs”):



	July 2015 - June 2016	$ 60 million
	July 2016 - June 2017	$ 90 million
	July 2017 - June 2018	$127 million
	July 2018 - June 2019	$172 million

If the Company misses an MPO in any given year by more than ten percent, after taking into account excess purchases from the previous year, Furrion has the right to either terminate the distribution agreement with six months’ notice or remove exclusivity from the Company. If exclusivity is withdrawn, the Company at its election can terminate the distribution agreement with six months’ notice. Upon termination of the agreement, Furrion has agreed to purchase from the Company any non-obsolete stocks of Furrion products at the cost paid by the Company. After the first year, Furrion and the Company have agreed to review these MPOs on an annual basis and adjust the MPOs as necessary based upon current economic and industry conditions, the development and customer acceptance of new Furrion products, competition and other factors which impact demand for Furrion products. The Company anticipates revisions to the MPOs from time to time.

Product Recalls

From time to time, the Company cooperates with and assists its customers on their product recalls and inquiries, and occasionally receives inquiries directly from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) regarding reported incidents involving the Company’s products. In February 2015, NHTSA opened a Preliminary Evaluation as a result of four Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) alleging failure of the Company’s electrically powered step (“Coach Step”), which was primarily supplied for motorhome RVs between model years 2008 and 2014. The Coach Step was no longer manufactured after 2014. In March 2015, NHTSA sent a formal request for information, data and supporting documentation from the Company regarding the Coach Step, which the Company provided in April 2015. After a thorough review of the design and operation of the Coach Step,

(Unaudited)

the Company initiated a voluntary safety recall in September 2015 of all double and triple Coach Steps. The Company recorded a reserve of $1.1 million for the contingent obligation in the third quarter of 2015.

Environmental

The Company’s operations are subject to certain Federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous materials used during the manufacturing processes. Although the Company believes its operations have been consistent with prevailing industry standards, and are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, one or more of the Company’s current or former operating sites, or adjacent sites owned by third-parties, have been affected by releases of hazardous materials. As a result, the Company may incur expenditures for future investigation and remediation of these sites.

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, regulatory agency inquiries 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 Sheet as of March 31, 2016, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The following table summarizes information about shares of the Company’s common stock at:



	March 31,		December 31,
(In thousands)	2016	2015	2015
Common stock authorized	75,000	30,000	75,000
Common stock issued	27,189	26,817	27,039
Treasury stock	2,684	2,684	2,684

The following reconciliation details the denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2016	2015
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share	24,567	24,215
Common stock equivalents pertaining to stock options and deferred stock units	227	326
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share	24,794	24,541

The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 exclude the effect of 242,174 and 218,323 shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock-based performance awards. Such shares were excluded from total diluted shares because they were anti-dilutive or the specified performance conditions that those shares were subject to were not yet achieved.

On April 15, 2016, a dividend of $0.30 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing an aggregate of $7.3 million, was paid to stockholders of record as of April 1, 2016.

On April 10, 2015, a special dividend of $2.00 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing an aggregate of $48.2 million, was paid to stockholders of record as of March 27, 2015. In connection with this special dividend, holders of deferred stock units, restricted stock and stock awards were credited with deferred stock units, restricted stock or stock equal to $2.00 for each deferred stock unit, share of restricted stock or stock award, representing $1.8 million in total for this special dividend. In connection with this special cash dividend, the exercise price of all outstanding stock options was reduced by $2.00 per share. The reductions in exercise price were made pursuant to the terms of the outstanding awards, resulting in no incremental stock-based compensation expense.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at:



	March 31, 2016								December 31, 2015
(In thousands)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets
Deferred compensation	$	7,733	$	7,733	$	—	$	—	$	7,774	$	7,774	$	—	$	—
Total assets	$	7,733	$	7,733	$	—	$	—	$	7,774	$	7,774	$	—	$	—

Liabilities
Contingent consideration	$	10,298	$	—	$	—	$	10,298	$	10,840	$	—	$	—	$	10,840
Deferred compensation	14,146		14,146		—		—		11,836		11,836		—		—
Total liabilities	$	24,444	$	14,146	$	—	$	10,298	$	22,676	$	11,836	$	—	$	10,840

Deferred Compensation

The Company has an Executive Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The amounts deferred under the Plan are credited with earnings or losses based upon changes in values of the notional investments elected by the Plan participants. The Company invests approximately 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 fair valued using management’s projections for long-term sales forecasts, including assumptions regarding market share gains, foreign currency rates and future industry-specific economic and market conditions, and a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital. Over the next six years, the Company’s long-term sales growth forecasts for products subject to contingent consideration arrangements average approximately 15 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 8 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.

Non-recurring

The following table presents the carrying value on the measurement date of any assets and liabilities which were measured at fair value and recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, on a non-recurring basis, using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and the corresponding non-recurring losses or (gains) recognized during the three months ended March 31:



	2016				2015
(In thousands)	Carrying Value		Non-Recurring Losses / (Gains)		Carrying Value		Non-Recurring Losses / (Gains)
Vacant owned facilities	$	2,527	$	—	$	3,866	$	—
Net assets of acquired businesses	15,607		—		2,723		—
Total assets	$	18,134	$	—	$	6,589	$	—

Vacant Owned Facilities

During the first three months of 2016, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of one vacant owned facility. At March 31, 2016, the Company had one vacant owned facility, with an estimated fair value of $5.3 million and a carrying value of $2.5 million, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the first three months of 2015, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of three vacant owned facilities. At March 31, 2015, the Company had three vacant owned facilities, with an estimated combined fair value of $4.1 million and a combined carrying value of $3.9 million, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.

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 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

11. 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 93 percent of consolidated net sales for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, manufactures or distributes a variety of products assembled in the production of RVs. The Company also supplies certain of these products to the RV aftermarket and to adjacent industries, including buses, trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, and pontoon boats. Approximately 72 percent of the Company’s RV Segment net sales for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 were of products to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs.

The MH Segment, which accounted for seven percent of consolidated net sales for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, manufactures or distributes a variety of products assembled in the production of manufactured homes. The Company also supplies certain of these products to the manufactured housing aftermarket and to adjacent industries, including modular housing and mobile office units. 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.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

(Unaudited)

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, generally defined as income or loss before interest 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 the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.



Information relating to segments follows for the:

MH Segment	4,447		2,705
Total operating profit	$	55,728	$	31,838

In the third quarter of 2015, the Company refined its methodology for categorizing sales within the RV Segment. This change improves accuracy, but has no impact on total RV Segment net sales or trends. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

Future Changes to Reporting Segments

Over the past several years, largely due to the growth the Company has experienced in its RV Segment, the MH Segment is now a smaller part of the Company. MH Segment net sales were seven percent of consolidated net sales for the first three months of 2016. In addition, the Company has recently increased its focus on the significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket, which is currently included in the RV Segment. In response to the changes, subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Company made changes to its internal reporting structure, reflecting a change in how its Chief Operating Decision Maker will assess the performance of the Company’s operating results and make decisions about resource allocations. The Company is in the process of evaluating changes to its reportable operating segments as a result of this change. The revised segments are anticipated to be effective with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2016.

12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amended ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income

(Unaudited)

tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires, in most instances, a lessee to recognize on its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and also a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods, using a modified retrospective approach with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This ASU requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company elected to retrospectively adopt ASU 2015-17, thus reclassifying current deferred tax assets to non-current on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result, the Company reclassified $18,709 and $22,616 from current assets to long-term assets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The adoption of this guidance has no impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs be presented on the balance sheet as a reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that allows the presentation of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements to continue to be an asset on the balance sheet under the simplified guidance, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the related arrangements. The amendments in these ASUs are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted these ASUs retrospectively effective January 1, 2016, and have reclassified all debt issuance costs, with the exception of those related to the revolving credit facility, as a reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability for both current and prior periods. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for years beginning after December 15, 2016, to be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Report, as well as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Drew Industries Incorporated (“Drew”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert Components” or “LCI”), supplies a broad array of components in the United States and abroad for the leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and manufactured homes and for the related aftermarkets of those industries. The Company also supplies components for adjacent industries including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; pontoon boats; modular housing; and factory-built mobile office units.

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. At March 31, 2016, the Company operated 44 manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada.

RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, fifth-wheels, folding camping trailers and truck campers). Approximately 72 percent of the Company’s RV Segment net sales for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 were of products to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) 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 twelve months ended March 31, 2016.

The Company’s MH Segment manufactures or distributes a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes, including:



●Vinyl and aluminum windows	●Aluminum and vinyl patio doors
●Thermoformed bath and kitchen products	●Steel chassis and related components
●Steel and fiberglass entry doors	●Axles

The Company also supplies certain of these products to the manufactured housing aftermarket and to adjacent industries, including modular housing and mobile office units. 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.

Over the past several years, largely due to the growth the Company has experienced in its RV Segment, the MH Segment is now a smaller part of the Company. MH Segment net sales were seven percent of consolidated net sales for the first three months of 2016. In addition, the Company has recently increased its focus on the significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket, which is currently included in the RV Segment. In response to the changes, subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Company made changes to its internal reporting structure, reflecting a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker will assess the performance of the Company’s operating results and make decisions about resource allocations. The Company is in the process of evaluating changes to its reportable operating segments as a result of this change. The revised segments are anticipated to be effective with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2016.

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).

The annual sales cycle for the RV industry generally starts in October after the “Open House” in Elkhart, Indiana where many of the largest RV OEMs display product to RV retail dealers, and ends after the conclusion of the summer selling season in September in the following calendar year. Between October and March, industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded retail sales as dealers build inventories to support anticipated sales. Between April and September, the spring and summer selling seasons, retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

industry-wide wholesale shipments. Based on the strength of retail sales and the current outlook from several RV OEMs and their dealer networks, most industry analysts continue to report that RV dealer inventory is in line with anticipated retail demand.

According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs in the first three months of 2016, the Company’s primary RV market, increased 11 percent to 90,700 units, compared to the first three months of 2015, as a result of:


•	An estimated 3,800 unit increase in retail demand in the first three months of 2016, or seven percent, as compared to the same period of 2015. In addition, retail demand is typically revised upward in subsequent months, primarily due to delayed RV registrations.


•	RV dealers seasonally increasing inventory levels by an estimated 31,800 units in the first three months of 2016, higher than the increase in inventory levels of 26,700 units in the first three months of 2015.

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 trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, as reported by Statistical Surveys, Inc., as well as the resulting estimated change in dealer inventories, for both the United States and Canada, is as follows:

⁽¹⁾	Retail sales data for March 2016 has not been published; therefore retail and dealer inventory data includes a Company estimate for retail units sold.

According to the RVIA, industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhome RVs in the first three months of 2016 increased 18 percent to 14,000 units compared to the same period of 2015. The Company estimates retail demand for motorhome RVs increased 6 percent in the first three months of 2016.

The RVIA has projected a modest increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs for 2016. Several RV OEM customers are introducing new product lines, additional features and adding production capacity. Retail sales of RVs historically have been closely tied to general economic conditions, as well as consumer confidence which was above historical averages in 2015. Further, retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have increased in 75 of the last 77 months on a year-over-year basis. Industry resources report strong attendance and high consumer interest at RV shows around the United States and Canada in late 2015 and into early 2016.

Although future retail demand is inherently uncertain, RV industry fundamentals in 2015 and the first three months of 2016, including generally low unemployment, low fuel prices and available credit for dealers and RV consumers, were strong, as evidenced by the seven percent increase in industry-wide retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs in the first three months of 2016. The Company believes the strong RV industry fundamentals, aided by product innovation, demographic tailwinds, industry promotion and the advent of stronger dealer networks, are positive signs for 2016. The Company also remains confident in its ability to exceed industry growth rates through new product introductions, market share gains, aftermarket sales, acquisitions and ongoing investments in research and development, engineering, quality and customer service.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

Over the long term, the Company expects RV industry sales to be aided by positive demographics and the continued popularity of the “RV Lifestyle”. The number of consumers between the ages of 55 - 70 are projected to 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 the ages of 50 - 64 own at least one RV. The RVIA reported much of the success of the RV industry has been driven by the Baby Boomer generation. The size of that generation is beginning to wane, and younger generations, Generation X and Millennials are becoming more relevant to future industry growth. Generation X and Millennials are more diverse, requiring new and creative marketing approaches to attract them to the RV industry. The RVIA has an advertising campaign promoting the “RV Lifestyle” targeted at both parents aged 30 - 49 with children at home, as well as couples aged 50 - 64 with no children at home. In addition, the RV OEMs have developed more entry level units, specifically targeting younger families, in both towables and motorhomes. The popularity of traveling in RVs to NASCAR and other sporting events, more family-oriented domestic vacations, and using RVs as second homes, are trends that could continue to motivate consumer demand for RVs. RVIA studies indicate RV vacations cost significantly less than other forms of vacation travel, even when factoring in fuel prices and the cost of RV ownership. More details can be found at www.RVIA.org.

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.

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 - 1,200 square feet. During the first three months of 2016, multi-section homes were 54 percent of the total manufactured homes produced, consistent with 2012 - 2015. Multi-section homes averaged 64 percent of the total manufactured homes produced between 2007 - 2010. Multi-section manufactured homes generally contain more of the Company’s products than single-section manufactured homes.

The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (“IBTS”) reported industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 19,100 units for the first three months of 2016, an increase of 24 percent compared to the first three months of 2015.

For the 20 years prior to the sub-prime boom in home financing, manufactured housing industry-wide wholesale shipments represented 20 percent or more of single-family housing starts. During the sub-prime years of 2003 - 2007, when low cost loans were available for financing purchases of site-built homes, many traditional buyers of manufactured homes were able to purchase site-built homes instead of manufactured homes, and manufactured housing’s share of the single-family market dropped to below 10 percent. Since the sub-prime “bubble” burst in 2007 and 2008, this market share has averaged about 11 percent, despite interest rates for manufactured home loans remaining historically high relative to interest rates for site-built home loans. Accordingly, the Company believes the manufactured housing industry may experience a modest recovery as the economy continues to improve and home buyers look at affordable housing options. However, because of the current real estate, credit and economic environment, including the availability of site built homes at stable prices and high interest rate spreads between conventional mortgages for site-built homes and loans for manufactured homes, the Company expects industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes to remain low until these conditions improve.

In addition, certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, which regulate financial transactions, have made certain types of mortgages, including chattel loans, more difficult or more expensive to obtain – in particular those historically used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes. Although the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been reviewing this matter and legislation has been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives to address this matter, there can be no assurance of the outcome.

Nevertheless, the Company believes long-term growth prospects for manufactured housing remain positive because of the quality and affordability of the home and favorable demographic trends, including the increasing number of retirees who, in the past, had represented a significant market for manufactured homes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Highlights

•

Consolidated net sales in the first quarter of 2016 increased to $423 million, 17 percent higher than the first quarter of 2015. The 11 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, the Company’s primary RV market, positively impacted the net sales growth in the 2016 first quarter ended March 31, 2016. Acquisitions completed by the Company over the twelve months ended March 31, 2016, as well as the Furrion Limited (“Furrion”) distribution and supply agreement for premium electronics (the “Furrion Agreement”), added $25 million in net sales in the first quarter of 2016.

•

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company continued to grow sales to both adjacent industries and the aftermarket for the RV and manufactured housing segments. Aggregate net sales to adjacent industries increased 48 percent to $60 million, largely due to acquisitions, and aftermarket net sales increased 41 percent to $30 million compared to the first quarter of 2015. Together, these markets now account for 21 percent of consolidated net sales, double the percentage from 2010.


•	For the first quarter of 2016, the Company’s net income increased to $36.0 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, up from net income of $20.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2015.


•	Consolidated operating profits increased to $55.7 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $31.8 million in the first quarter of 2015. Operating profit margin increased to 13.2 percent in the first quarter of 2016 from 8.8 percent in the first quarter of 2015.

•

The Company continues to take actions to improve its cost structure, including the actions implemented in the fourth quarter of 2015 to balance indirect labor. Lean teams continue working to reduce cost and implement processes to better utilize available floorspace. Raw material costs continue to fluctuate and are expected to remain volatile. In particular, the cost of aluminum and steel used in certain of the Company’s manufactured components dropped during the second half of 2015 and reached significant low points; however, certain of these prices increased in the first quarter of 2016 from those low points experienced during 2015.


•	Thus far in 2016, the Company completed three acquisitions:


•	Project 2000 S.r.l. -- An Italian manufacturer of innovative, space-saving bed lifts and retractable steps, with estimated annual sales of €10 million (US$12 million);


•	Flair Interiors -- A Goshen, Indiana manufacturer of RV furniture, with estimated annual sales of $25 million; and


•	Highwater Marine Furniture -- An Elkhart, Indiana marine furniture operation providing furniture solutions for Highwater Marine, LLC, a manufacturer of pontoon boats. Estimated annual sales for the marine furniture operation were $20 million.

Integration activities for these acquired businesses are underway and proceeding in line with established plans. The Company plans to grow sales and leverage its purchasing power, manufacturing capabilities, engineering expertise and design resources to improve the cost structure of the acquired operations. After funding these acquisitions, the Company believes it has access to sufficient financial capital and staff to take advantage of additional investment opportunities.


•	Return on equity for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 improved to 21.6 percent, from the 18.4 percent return on equity in 2015.


•	In April 2016, the Company paid a dividend of $0.30 per share, aggregating $7.3 million.

RV Segment

Net sales of the RV Segment in the first quarter of 2016 increased 17 percent, or $57 million, compared to the first quarter of 2015. Net sales of components were to the following markets for the three months ended March 31:



(In thousands)	2016		2015		Change
RV OEMs:
Travel trailers and fifth-wheels	$	283,369	$	259,695	9	%
Motorhomes	28,523		22,309		28	%
RV aftermarket	24,968		17,209		45	%
Adjacent industries	54,819		35,358		55	%
Total RV Segment net sales	$	391,679	$	334,571	17	%

According to the RVIA, industry-wide wholesale unit shipments for the three months ended March 31, were:



	2016	2015	Change
Travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV's	90,700	81,800	11	%
Motorhomes	14,000	11,900	18	%

The Company’s net sales growth in components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the first quarter of 2016 were comparable to, but slightly lower than, the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the same period. This is primarily the result of increased unit sales of entry-level travel trailers which typically contain less content per unit.

The Company’s net sales growth in components for motorhomes during the first quarter of 2016 exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhomes during the same period primarily due to market share gains. 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, and further growth is expected.

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 March 31, divided by the industry-wide wholesale shipments of the different types of RVs for the same period, was:



Content per:	2016		2015		Change
Travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV	$	2,978	$	2,914	2	%
Motorhome	$	1,858	$	1,736	7	%

In the third quarter of 2015, the Company refined the calculation of RV content per unit. This change improves accuracy, but has no impact on total RV Segment net sales or trends of content per unit. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

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, new product introductions, and changes in selling prices for the Company’s products, as well as changes in the types of RVs produced industry-wide.

The Company’s net sales to the RV aftermarket increased during the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to the Company's increasing sales of OEM components over time combined with normal wear and the Company's focus on building out well qualified, customer-focused teams and infrastructure to service this market. With an estimated 10 million households in North America owning an RV and the Company’s increasing content per unit, the Company continues to believe there are significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

The Company’s net sales to adjacent industries, including components for buses, trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, and pontoon boats, increased during the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2015 and the first three months of 2016, which acquisitions added $12 million in net sales during the first quarter of 2016. The Company continues to believe there are significant opportunities in adjacent industries.

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $51.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, an improvement of $22.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2015. The operating profit margin of the RV Segment in the first quarter of 2016 was impacted by:


•	Increasing sales to aftermarket and adjacent industries customers. Certain sales to customers outside of RV OEMs provide better margins.


•	Indirect labor cost savings initiated in the fourth quarter of 2015 to reduce such costs on an annualized basis.

•

Investments over the past several years to increase capacity and improve operating efficiencies, which benefit operating results. The Company added capacity ahead of projected demand, which enabled it to efficiently fulfill customer orders as demand increased. Further, the Company has implemented additional efficiency improvements, including lean, automation and employee retention initiatives to improve operating efficiencies going forward.


•	Lower material costs for certain raw materials. After increasing in the latter part of 2014, steel and aluminum costs declined in the second half of 2015. Costs for these commodities experienced some increases since the beginning of 2016. Material costs, which are subject to global supply and demand forces, are expected to remain volatile.


•	Lower group health and workers’ compensation claims. The Company actively works to manage and reduce these costs, however, these costs remain subject to fluctuation.


•	Better fixed cost absorption by spreading fixed costs over a $57 million larger sales base.

Partially offset by:

•

Fixed costs which were approximately $3 million to $5 million higher than in the first quarter of 2015. Over the past couple of years, the Company made significant investments in manufacturing capacity, both facilities and personnel, to prepare for the expected increase in net sales in 2016 and beyond. In addition to investments in fixed costs to expand manufacturing capacity, the Company has made improvements in marketing, human resources, engineering, customer service and other critical departments. The Company also added the teams from acquired businesses, as well amortization costs of intangible assets related to those businesses.


•	Sales mix changes of its products, including lower sales of fifth-wheel products.

MH Segment

Net sales of the MH Segment in the first quarter of 2016 increased 16 percent, or $31 million, compared to the same period of 2015. Net sales of components were to the following markets for the three months ended March 31:



(In thousands)	2016		2015		Change
Manufactured housing OEMs	$	21,229	$	17,823	19	%
Manufactured housing aftermarket	4,649		3,829		21	%
Adjacent industries	5,241		5,234		—	%
Total MH Segment net sales	$	31,119	$	26,886	16	%

According to the IBTS, industry-wide wholesale shipments for the three months ended March 31, were:



	2016	2015	Change
Total homes produced	19,100	15,400	24	%
Total floors produced	29,600	23,500	26	%

Industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes increased during the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the same period of the prior year. The Company’s net sales of components for new manufactured homes increased during the same

(Continued)

period of 2016 to a slightly lesser extent, primarily due to customer mix, as the Company’s content per unit varies between customers.

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 March 31, divided by the number of manufactured homes and manufactured home floors produced by the industry, respectively, for the same period, was:



Content per:	2016		2015		Change
Home produced	$	1,150	$	1,192	(4	)%
Floor produced	$	738	$	779	(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, and changes in selling prices for the Company’s products, as well as changes in the types of floors produced industry-wide.

Operating profit of the MH Segment was $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to the increase in net sales from higher units sales and lower material costs for certain raw material inputs.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the first three months of 2016 of 34.9 percent was lower than the effective tax rate for the first three months of 2015 of 36.6 percent, benefiting from higher federal and state tax credits. The Company estimates the 2016 full year effective tax rate to be approximately 35 to 36 percent.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reflect the following for the three months ended March 31:



(In thousands)	2016			2015
Net cash flows provided by operating activities	$	43,511		$	7,133
Net cash flows used for investing activities	(24,288		)	(11,425		)
Net cash flows (used for) provided by financing activities	(3,611		)	32,215
Net increase in cash	$	15,612		$	27,923

Cash Flows from Operations

Net cash flows from operating activities in the first three months of 2016 were $36.4 million higher than the same period of 2015, primarily due to:


•	A $15.9 million increase in net income in the first three months of 2016 compared to the first three months of 2015.


•	A $20.9 million larger increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities in first three months of 2016 compared to the first three months of 2015, primarily due to the timing of tax payments.

•

A decrease in inventories of $8.5 million in the first three months of 2016 compared to an increase of $3.5 million in the first three months of 2015. The decrease in inventories in the first three months of 2016 was primarily due to an inventory reduction initiative. Inventory turnover for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 decreased to 6.8 turns compared to the full year 2015 at 6.9 turns. The Company is working to improve inventory turnover over the coming quarters, however, inventory turns may trend lower due to growth in product categories such as import furniture and Furrion electronics.

(Continued)


•	A $1.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization due to the investments in acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Partially offset by:


•	A $11.5 million larger seasonal increase in accounts receivable in the first three months of 2016 compared to the first three months of 2015. This larger increase was primarily due to increased net sales partially offset by the timing of payments by the Company’s customers. Accounts receivable balances remain current, with only 21 days sales outstanding at March 31, 2016.

Over the long term, based on the Company’s historical collection and payment patterns, as well as inventory turnover, and also giving consideration to emerging trends and changes to the sales mix, the Company expects working capital to increase or decrease equivalent to approximately 11 - 14 percent of the increase or decrease, respectively, in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, especially in the short term.

Depreciation and amortization was $10.9 million in the first three months of 2016, and is expected to aggregate $42 million to $47 million for the full year 2016. Non-cash stock-based compensation in the first three months of 2016 was $3.1 million, including $0.3 million of deferred stock units issued to certain executive officers in lieu of cash for a portion of their 2015 incentive compensation in accordance with their compensation arrangements. Non-cash stock-based compensation is expected to be approximately $15 million to $17 million for the full year 2016.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used for investing activities of $24.3 million in the first three months of 2016 were primarily comprised of $6.3 million for capital expenditures and $18.1 million for the acquisition of businesses. Cash flows used for investing activities of $11.4 million in the first three months of 2015 were primarily comprised of $8.6 million for capital expenditures and $2.7 million for the acquisition of businesses.

In January 2016, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of the pontoon furniture manufacturing operation of Highwater Marine, a manufacturer of pontoon boats located in Elkhart, Indiana. The purchase price was $10.0 million paid at closing.

In February 2016, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Flair Interiors, a manufacturer of RV furniture. The purchase price was $8.1 million paid at closing.

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 two percent of net sales, while the growth portion has averaged approximately 10 - 12 percent of the annual increase in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact the actual spending compared to these historical averages. In the first three months of 2016 capital expenditures of $6.3 million were in line with historical averages. As such, coupled with the success achieved in lean manufacturing to free up additional manufacturing space, the Company believes it is well positioned to meet the increased manufacturing demands expected for 2016 and into 2017 with capital expenditures at or below historical levels.

The Company estimates capital expenditures will be $20 million to $26 million in 2016, including $11 million to $14 million of “replacement” capital expenditures and $9 million to $12 million of “growth” capital expenditures. Additional capital expenditures may be required in 2016 depending on the extent of the sales growth, the impact of any acquisitions and other initiatives by the Company.

The capital expenditures and acquisitions during the first three months of 2016 were funded from operations and periodic borrowings under the Company’s line of credit. The capital expenditures for the balance of 2016 are expected to be funded primarily from cash generated from operations, as well as periodic borrowings under the Company’s line of credit.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities in the first three months of 2016 were primarily comprised of the Company receiving $1.4 million in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation, which was more than offset by $4.6 million of shares tendered for payment of taxes. In addition, the Company made $0.4 million in payments for contingent consideration related to acquisitions.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

Cash flows provided by financing activities in the first three months of 2015 were primarily comprised of a net increase in indebtedness of $34.4 million. The increase in indebtedness includes new debt comprised of $50.0 million of Senior Promissory Notes, offset by a net reduction in the amount borrowed under the Company’s line of credit of $15.6 million. Borrowings under the Company’s line of credit reached a high of $57.6 million during the first three months of 2015. In addition, in the first three months of 2015, the Company received $5.3 million in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation, which was more than offset by $7.2 million of shares tendered for payment of taxes.

In connection with certain business acquisitions, if established sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a $10.3 million liability for the aggregate fair value of these expected contingent consideration liabilities at March 31, 2016, including $5.1 million recorded as a current liability. For further information, see Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On February 24, 2014, the Company also 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. On March 20, 2015, the Company issued $50.0 million of Senior Promissory Notes to Prudential, under the “shelf-loan” facility, for a term of five years, at a fixed interest rate of 3.35 percent per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, of which the entire amount was outstanding at March 31, 2016. Availability under the Company’s “shelf-loan” facility, subject to the approval of Prudential, was $100.0 million at March 31, 2016.

Additional information on the Company’s Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility is included in Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Information required by this item is included in Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and under Item 1 of Part I 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 increases in its labor costs in the first three months of 2016 related to inflation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” with respect to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities, acquisitions, plans and objectives of management 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, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to the Company’s 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 the Company’s senior management at the time such statements were made. 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, seasonality and cyclicality in the industries to which the Company sells its products, availability of credit for financing the retail and wholesale purchase of products for which the Company sells its components, inventory levels of retail dealers and manufacturers, availability of transportation for products for which the Company sells its components, the financial condition of the Company’s customers, the financial condition of retail dealers of products for which the Company sells its components, retention and concentration of significant customers, the costs, pace of and successful integration of acquisitions and other growth initiatives, availability and costs of labor, employee benefits, employee retention, realization and impact of efficiency improvements and cost reductions, the successful entry into new markets, the costs of compliance with environmental laws and increased governmental regulation and oversight, information technology performance

and security, the ability to protect intellectual property, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, the impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on the retail sale of products for which the Company sells its components, and other risks and uncertainties discussed more fully under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made, except as required by law.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At March 31, 2016, the Company had $50.0 million of fixed rate debt outstanding. Assuming there is a decrease of 100 basis points in the interest rate for borrowings of a similar nature subsequent to March 31, 2016, which the Company becomes unable to capitalize on in the short-term as a result of the structure of its fixed rate financing, future cash flows would be approximately $0.5 million lower per annum than if the fixed rate financing could be obtained at current market rates.

The Company is also exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials, specifically steel and aluminum. The Company has, from time to time, entered into derivative instruments for the purpose of managing a portion of the exposures associated with fluctuations in aluminum prices. At March 31, 2016, the Company had no derivative instruments outstanding.

The Company has historically been able to obtain sales price increases to partially offset the majority of raw material cost increases. However, there can be no assurance future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases will match raw material cost increases.

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 (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) 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 Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, 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, regulatory agency inquiries 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 March 31, 2016, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the matters discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2016.
