DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Drew Industries Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Drew” or the “Company”). Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries. Drew operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert Components”). Drew, through Lippert Components, supplies a broad array of components for the leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent supplies components for adjacent industries including buses, trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, truck campers, truck caps, modular housing and factory-built mobile office units. At
March 31, 2014
, the Company operated
34
manufacturing facilities in
12
states.
Manufacturing operations in 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, and 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, 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, 2013
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, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, executive succession, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and various other assumptions 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 as of and for the
three
month periods ended
March 31, 2014
and
2013
. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include some information necessary to conform to annual reporting requirements.
2. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has
two
reportable segments; the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment"). Intersegment sales are insignificant.
The RV Segment, which accounted for
91 percent
and
89 percent
of consolidated net sales for the
three
month periods ended
March 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of RVs, including:
●
Steel chassis for towable RVs
●
Chassis components
●
Axles and suspension solutions for towable RVs
●
Furniture and mattresses
●
Slide-out mechanisms and solutions
●
Entry, luggage, patio and ramp doors
●
Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products
●
Electric and manual entry steps
●
Windows
●
Awnings and slide toppers
●
Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer and
leveling systems
●
Other accessories and electronic components

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(Unaudited)
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, truck campers and truck caps. Approximately
81 percent
of the Company’s RV Segment net sales for the last twelve months were of products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs.
The MH Segment, which accounted for
9 percent
and
11 percent
of consolidated net sales for the
three
month periods ended
March 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes, including:
●
Vinyl and aluminum windows
●
Steel chassis
●
Thermoformed bath and kitchen products
●
Steel chassis parts
●
Steel and fiberglass entry doors
●
Axles
●
Aluminum and vinyl patio doors
The Company also supplies certain of these products to the manufactured housing aftermarket, 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.
Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company's resources are made by the Company's key executives, with oversight by the Board of Directors. This group evaluates the performance of each segment based upon segment operating profit or loss, defined as income or loss before interest, executive succession and income taxes. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources are also based on each segment’s utilization of assets. Management of debt is a corporate function. The accounting policies of the RV and MH Segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2013
.

3. ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Acquisitions in 2014
Star Design, LLC
On
March 14, 2014
, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Star Design, LLC. Star Design had annual sales of approximately
$10 million
in 2013, comprised primarily of thermoformed sheet plastic products for the RV, bus and specialty vehicle industries. The purchase price was
$12.2 million
paid at closing. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company's RV Segment and in the Consolidated Statement of Operations since the acquisition date.
The acquisition of this business was preliminarily recorded on the acquisition date as follows
(in thousands)
:
Cash consideration

12,232
Customer relationships

Other identifiable intangible assets

Net tangible assets
2,332
Total fair value of net assets acquired
$
7,132
Goodwill (tax deductible)
$
5,100
The customer relationships intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of
14
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, and also believes the diversified customer base will further its expansion into adjacent industries.
Innovative Design Solutions, Inc.
On
February 27, 2014
, the Company acquired Innovative Design Solutions, Inc. (“IDS”), a designer, developer and manufacturer of electronic systems encompassing a wide variety of RV applications. IDS also manufactures electronic systems for automotive, medical and industrial applications. IDS had annual sales of approximately
$19 million
in
2013
, of which
$13 million
were to the Company. The purchase price was
$36.6 million
, of which
$34.2 million
was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid out annually over the subsequent
three years
, plus contingent consideration based on future sales of this operation. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company's RV Segment and in the Consolidated Statement of Operations since the acquisition date.

The patents are being amortized over their estimated useful life of

and the customer relationships intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of
12 years
. The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates an increase in the markets for the acquired products, market share growth in both existing and new markets, as well as attainment of synergies.
Sale of Assets
In April 2014, the Company entered into a
six

$2 million
in the second quarter of 2014 on the sale of the aluminum extrusion-related assets.

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, 2014

7. LONG-TERM INDEBTEDNESS
At
March 31, 2014
, the Company had
$10.0 million
of outstanding borrowings on its line of credit at a rate of
1.9 percent
. The Company had
no
debt outstanding at
March 31, 2013
or
December 31, 2013
.
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. (collectively, the “Lenders”), amending the Company's previous
$50.0 million
line of credit that was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2016. The maximum borrowings under the Company’s new line of credit can be increased by
$25.0 million
upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the new 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 percent
to
1.0 percent
(minus
1.0 percent
at
March 31, 2014
), but not less than
1.5 percent
, or (ii) LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from
1.75 percent
to
2.0 percent
(
1.75 percent
at
March 31, 2014
) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires on January 1, 2019. At
March 31, 2014
, the Company had
$2.2 million
in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company’s new line of credit was
$62.8 million
at
March 31, 2014
.
Simultaneously, the Company also entered into a
$150.0 million
“shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”), amending the Company's previous
$150.0 million
"shelf-loan" facility with Prudential. The new facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$150.0 million
, to mature no more than
twelve years
after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within
five
business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. At
March 31, 2014
, there were
no
Senior Promissory Notes outstanding. This new facility expires on February 24, 2017.
12
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, at
March 31, 2014
the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At
March 31, 2014
, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.
Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to
2.5
times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at
March 31, 2014
. The remaining availability under these facilities was
$212.8 million
at
March 31, 2014
. The Company believes the availability under the amended line of credit and "shelf-loan" facility, together with the
$6.1 million
in cash at
March 31, 2014
, is more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
In January 2014, the Company entered into a
nine
year operating lease for a
366,000
square foot facility located in Goshen, IN with aggregate minimum lease payments of
$6.1 million
. This facility will be used to consolidate manufacturing operations for efficiency improvements and expand capacity for its furniture and mattress operations.
In March 2014, the Company entered into a
twelve
year operating lease for a
539,000
square foot facility located in South Bend, IN to expand warehousing and distribution capabilities. Annual lease payments are
$1.0 million
; however, the Company has entered into a sublease arrangement for approximately
238,000
square feet of the facility for the next
five
years with annual sublease payments of
$0.7 million
.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with several business acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a liability for the fair value of this contingent consideration at
March 31, 2014
, based on the present value of the expected future cash flows using a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital of
15.4 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, 2014
are
$12.2 million
. The liability for contingent consideration expires at various dates through September 2029. Certain of the products subject to contingent consideration have a remaining maximum contingent consideration while the remaining products have no maximum contingent consideration.
Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion 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, 2014
, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock options, stock awards and deferred stock units. Such shares were excluded from total diluted shares because they were anti-dilutive or the specified performance conditions those shares were subject to were not yet achieved.
On
January 6, 2014
, a special dividend of
$2.00
per share of the Company’s Common Stock, representing an aggregate of
$46.7 million
, was paid to stockholders of record as of
December 20, 2013
. 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
per deferred stock unit, restricted stock or stock, 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. These reductions in exercise price were made pursuant to the terms of the outstanding awards, resulting in no incremental stock-based compensation expense.
In
February 2014
, the Company issued
43,188
deferred stock units at
$45.98
, or
$2.0 million
, to executive officers in lieu of cash for a portion of their
2013
incentive compensation.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
May 22, 2014
, there will be presented to stockholders a proposal to approve the adoption of an amendment to the Drew Industries Incorporated Equity Award and Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated, to increase the number of shares subject to awards by
1,678,632
shares.

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
65 percent
of the amounts deferred by the Plan participants in life insurance contracts, matching the investments elected by the Plan participants. Deferred compensation assets and liabilities were valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments.
Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions
Liabilities for contingent consideration related to acquisitions were valued using management’s projections for long-term sales forecasts, including assumptions regarding market share gains and future industry-specific economic and market conditions, and a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital. Over the next
three years
, the Company’s long-term sales growth forecasts for products subject to contingent consideration arrangements average approximately
20 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

Vacant Owned Facilities
During the first
three
months of
2014
and
2013
, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of its vacant owned facilities. The determination of fair value was based on the best information available, including internal cash flow estimates, market prices for similar assets, broker quotes and independent appraisals, as appropriate.
During the first
three
months of
2014
, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of
three
vacant owned facilities and sold
one
of these facilities previously recorded as a vacant facility. At
March 31, 2014
, the Company had
two
vacant owned facilities, with an estimated combined fair value of
$3.1 million
and a combined carrying value of
$2.7 million
, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the first
three
months of
2013
, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of
four
vacant owned facilities. At
March 31, 2013
, the Company had
four
vacant owned facilities with an estimated combined fair value of $
14.2
million and a combined carrying value of
$5.2 million
, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Net Assets of Acquired Businesses
The Company valued the assets and liabilities associated with the acquisitions of businesses on the respective acquisition dates. Depending upon the type of asset or liability acquired, the Company used different valuation techniques in determining the fair value. Those techniques included comparable market prices, long-term sales, profitability and cash flow forecasts, assumptions regarding future industry-specific economic and market conditions, a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital, as well as other techniques as circumstances required. For further information on acquired assets and liabilities, see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
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, 2013
.
Drew Industries Incorporated (“Drew”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) conducts its operations through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert Components”). Drew, through Lippert Components, supplies a broad array of components for the leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent supplies components for adjacent industries including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; truck campers; truck caps; modular housing; and factory-built mobile office units. Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries.
The Company has two reportable segments; the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment"). Intersegment sales are insignificant. At
March 31, 2014
, the Company operated 34 manufacturing facilities in the United States.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
The Company’s RV Segment manufactures a variety of products used in the production of RVs, including:
●
Steel chassis for towable RVs
●
Chassis components
●
Axles and suspension solutions for towable RVs
●
Furniture and mattresses
●
Slide-out mechanisms and solutions
●
Entry, luggage, patio and ramp doors
●
Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products
●
Electric and manual entry steps
●
Windows
●
Awnings and slide toppers
●
Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer and
leveling systems
●
Other accessories and electronic components
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, truck campers and truck caps. Approximately 81 percent of the Company’s RV Segment net sales for the last twelve months were of products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs. Travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs accounted for 83 percent of all RVs shipped by the industry during the last twelve months.
The Company’s MH Segment manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes, including:
●
Vinyl and aluminum windows
●
Steel chassis
●
Thermoformed bath and kitchen products
●
Steel chassis parts
●
Steel and fiberglass entry doors
●
Axles
●
Aluminum and vinyl patio doors
The Company also supplies certain of these products to the manufactured housing aftermarket, 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.
Manufacturing operations in 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, and 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, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Recreational Vehicle Industry
An RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or seasonal use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, fifth-wheel travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers).
According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), industry-wide
wholesale
shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, the Company’s primary RV markets,
increased
13 percent
in the first
three
months of
2014
to
75,300
units, compared to the first
three
months of
2013
, as a result of:
•
An estimated
1,300
unit
increase
in
retail
demand in the first
three
months of
2014
, or
3 percent
, as compared to the same period of
2013
.
•
Anticipated strong retail demand in the upcoming Spring and Summer selling seasons, leading RV dealers to seasonally increase inventory levels by an estimated
31,200
units in the first
three
months of
2014
, or 7,300 more units than in the first
three
months of
2013

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
The annual sales cycle for the RV industry has historically started in October after the “Open House” in Elkhart, Indiana where RV OEMs display product to RV retail dealers, and ended after the conclusion of the Summer selling season in September. Between October and March, industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded retail sales, and between April and September, the Spring and Summer selling seasons, retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded industry-wide wholesale shipments. Most industry analysts report dealer inventories of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs are in-line with anticipated retail demand in the upcoming Spring 2014 selling season.
While the Company measures its RV sales against industry-wide wholesale shipment statistics, the underlying health of the RV industry is determined by retail demand. A comparison of the number of units and the year-over-year percentage change in industry-wide wholesale shipments and retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, as reported by Statistical Surveys, Inc., as well as the resulting change in dealer inventories, for both the United States and Canada, is as follows:

Retail sales data for
March
2014
has not been published; therefore retail and dealer inventory data includes an estimate for retail units sold.
According to the RVIA, industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhome RVs in the first
three
months of
2014
increased
31 percent
to
11,100
units compared to the same period of
2013
. The Company estimates retail demand for motorhome RVs increased 11 percent in the first
three
months of
2014
.
While production over the last several quarters was strong, unless retail demand matches these production levels, dealers could reduce the pace of their orders, and our customers, the OEMs, would need to adjust their production levels in future months. Ultimately, industry-wide retail sales, and therefore production levels of RVs, will depend to a significant extent on the course of the economy. Retail sales of RVs historically have been closely tied to general economic conditions, as well as consumer confidence which has fluctuated in recent months. Although future retail demand is still uncertain, reports of increased traffic and sales at consumer RV shows over the last couple of months are positive signs for the industry. Several industry analysts are also reporting the retail sales over the coming months could benefit from pent-up demand stemming from the prolonged winter. Retail sales in the traditionally strong Spring and Summer selling seasons will be a key indicator of consumer demand for RVs in 2014.
In February 2014, the RVIA projected a 5 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs for 2014, to 280,600. The Company is also encouraged that several customers are introducing new product lines, as well as increasing production capacity. Several industry analysts also report that the RV industry may benefit in the coming years from the release of pent-up demand resulting from the recession. The Company also remains confident in its ability to exceed industry growth rates through new product introductions, market share gains, acquisitions and ongoing investments in research and development, engineering, quality and customer service.
Over the long term, the Company expects RV industry sales to be aided by positive demographics and the continued popularity of the “RV Lifestyle”. Further, the number of consumers between the ages of 55 and 70 will total 56 million by 2020,
19

(Continued)
27 percent higher than in 2010, according to U.S. Census figures, and one in ten vehicle-owning households between the ages of 50 and 64 own at least one RV.
Further, the RVIA has an advertising campaign promoting the “RV lifestyle”. The current campaign is targeted at both parents aged 30-49 with children at home, as well as couples aged 50-64 with no children at home. The popularity of traveling in RVs to NASCAR and other sporting events, more family-oriented domestic vacations, and using RVs as second homes, also appear to motivate consumer demand for RVs. RVIA studies indicate that RV vacations cost significantly less than other forms of vacation. More details can be found at www.RVIA.com.
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 to 1,200 square feet. During the first
three
months of
2014
, multi-section homes were 53 percent of the total manufactured homes produced, consistent with
2013
, but down from the 64 percent of the total manufactured homes produced between 2007 and 2010. Multi-section manufactured homes contain more of the Company’s products than single-section manufactured homes.
The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (“IBTS”) reported, that for the first
three
months of
2014
, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were
13,700
units, an increase of
6 percent
compared to the first
three
months of
2013
.
Industry-wide wholesale shipments by the manufactured housing industry have experienced a decline from the peak of industry-wide production in 1998 for a variety of reasons. Because of the current real estate, credit and economic environment, including the availability of foreclosed site built homes at abnormally low prices and high interest rate spreads between conventional mortgages for site-built homes and loans for manufactured homes, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes may remain low until these conditions improve. In addition, certain provisions of the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act, which regulate financial transactions, could make certain types of mortgages, including chattel loans, more difficult to obtain – in particular those historically used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes. Although new legislation has been introduced to address this matter, and the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection is reviewing this matter, there can be no assurance of the outcome.
Nevertheless, the Company believes that long-term growth prospects for manufactured housing remain positive because of (i) the quality and affordability of the home, (ii) favorable demographic trends, including the increasing number of retirees who, in the past, had represented a significant market for manufactured homes, and (iii) pent-up demand by retirees who could potentially purchase a manufactured home, but have been unable or unwilling to sell their primary residence at current market prices.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated Highlights
▪
Despite the negative impact of the severe winter weather conditions in January 2014, the Company’s net sales in the
first
quarter of
2014
increased to
$285 million
,
13 percent
higher than in the
2013
first
quarter. This sales growth was primarily the result of a
16 percent
increase in net sales by the Company's RV Segment, which accounted for
91 percent
of consolidated net sales in the quarter. RV Segment net sales growth was primarily due to a
13
percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, the Company's primary RV market. In addition, sales of recently introduced components for towable and motorhome RVs increased, as did sales to adjacent industries and the aftermarket. Recently completed acquisitions did not have a significant impact on the increase in net sales in the
first
quarter of
2014
.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
•
In April 2014, consolidated net sales reached approximately $113 million – 13 percent higher than in April 2013 – primarily as a result of continued solid growth in the Company’s RV Segment. The Company estimates that industry-wide wholesale
shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs increased approximately 11 percent in April 2014 compared to April 2013. Industry statistics for April 2014 are not yet available.
▪
For the
first
quarter of
2014
, the Company reported net income of
$16.2 million
, or
$0.67
per diluted share, an increase of
93 percent
compared to net income of
$8.4 million
, or
$0.36
per diluted share, in the
first
quarter of
2013
. Excluding charges related to executive succession, net income would have been $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2013, or $0.39 per diluted share.
The Company's operating profit margin in the first quarter of 2014 improved to 9.1 percent, compared to 5.4 percent in 2013 first quarter. The improved margin was in part due to the elimination of production inefficiencies and costs incurred as a result of the significant growth which occurred in 2012 and early 2013. In addition, the Company improved labor efficiencies, primarily due to completed production processes implemented by management. These labor efficiencies were realized over the past several quarters while introducing new products and adjusting to industry and market share growth. The Company is continuing to implement additional efficiency improvements, including lean, automation and employee retention initiatives, as they are identified.
▪
In anticipation of future growth, the Company continues to expand and improve production capacity, investing in personnel and facilities in excess of current needs. While some of these initiatives and related fixed costs may have a negative impact on operating margins in the short term, the Company believes they will benefit the long-term growth of the Company, and improve its customer service.
In January 2014, the Company entered into a 9-year lease for a 366,000 square-foot facility to consolidate its furniture and mattress operations, and in March 2014 the Company entered into a 12 1/2-year lease for a 539,000 square-foot facility, half of which is subleased for 5 years, to improve and expand its distribution and warehousing capabilities. These two leases add significant new capacity, in part to improve the Company's customer service, as well as helping prepare for expected growth over the next few years in the industries it supplies. In connection with the opening of and relocation to these new leased facilities, the Company anticipates incurring realignment costs over the next several quarters, but such costs are not expected to be of the magnitude experienced in 2012 and early 2013.
▪
On February 27, 2014, the Company acquired Innovative Design Solutions, Inc. (“IDS”), a designer, developer and manufacturer of electronic systems encompassing a wide variety of RV applications. IDS also manufactures electronic systems for automotive, medical and industrial applications. IDS had annual sales of approximately $19 million in 2013, of which $13 million were to the Company. The purchase price was $36.6 million, of which $34.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid out annually over the subsequent three years, plus contingent consideration based on future sales of this operation. The acquisition of IDS provides the Company with further access to unique and innovative electronic products for the RV industry, as well as adjacent industries.
▪
On March 14, 2014, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Star Design, LLC. Star Design had annual sales of approximately $10 million in 2013, comprised primarily of thermoformed sheet plastic products for the RV, bus and specialty vehicle industries. The purchase price was $12.2 million paid at closing. The acquisition of Star Design will help the Company continue to grow its RV and specialty thermoformed plastics business.
▪
In April 2014, the Company entered into a six-year aluminum extrusion supply agreement, and concurrently sold certain aluminum extrusion assets. The Company anticipates recording a pre-tax loss of approximately $2 million in the second quarter of 2014 on the sale of the aluminum extrusion-related assets. The outsourcing of these aluminum extrusion requirements is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and will free up management time and production capacity for other opportunities. In 2013, the Company recorded an after-tax loss of approximately $1.5 million associated with the extrusion-related assets that are being sold.
▪
Return on equity for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2014
improved to 17.9 percent, from 11.5 percent in the year-earlier period.
•
In January 2014, the Company paid a special dividend of $2.00 per share, aggregating $47 million.

On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into a three-year extension of its existing $50 million revolving line of credit facility with JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, which now expires in January 2019, and increased that facility from $50 million to $75 million. Simultaneously, the Company completed a three-year renewal of its uncommitted $150 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Capital Group, which now expires in February 2017.
▪
At
March 31, 2014

The Company’s net sales growth in components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the
first
quarter of
2014
exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs primarily due to market share gains.
The Company's net sales growth in components for motorhomes during the
first

2014
was consistent with the increase in the industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhomes during the same period.
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

(Continued)
The Company’s net sales to the RV aftermarket and adjacent industries, including components for buses, trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, truck campers and truck caps, increased during the
first
quarter of
2014
primarily due to market share gains. The Company believes there are significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket and adjacent industries.
Operating profit of the RV Segment was
$23.7 million
in the
first
quarter of
2014
, an improvement of
$11.5 million
compared to the
first
quarter of
2013
. This increase in RV Segment operating profit was greater than the Company’s expected 15 to 20 percent incremental margin. The operating profit margin of the RV Segment in the
first
quarter of
2014
was positively impacted by:
•
Lower material costs. Steel and aluminum costs declined during 2013, before increasing in the beginning of 2014, although not to the levels experienced in early 2013. The Company does not expect any significant changes in material costs as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of 2014. However, material costs remain volatile.
•
The elimination of production inefficiencies and costs incurred as a result of significant growth which occurred in 2012 and early 2013. In addition, the Company improved labor efficiencies, primarily due to completed production processes implemented by management. These labor efficiencies were realized over the past several quarters while introducing new products and adjusting to industry and market share growth. The Company is continuing to implement additional efficiency improvements, including lean, automation and employee retention initiatives, as they are identified.
•
Lower warranty costs, largely due to lower claims experience.
•
Lower payroll costs, largely due to a reduction in state unemployment tax rates.
•
The spreading of fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs over a $35 million larger sales base.
Partially offset by:
•
Fixed costs, which were approximately $3 million to $4 million higher than in the first quarter of 2013. In response to the substantial increase in sales over the past several quarters, the Company added significant resources, investing in personnel and facilities to expand and improve production capacity and efficiencies, as well as to improve customer service.
In anticipation of future growth, the Company continues to expand and improve production capacity, investing in personnel and facilities in excess of current needs. While some of these initiatives and related fixed costs may have a negative impact on operating margins in the short term, the Company believes they will benefit the long-term growth of the Company, and improve its customer service.
In January 2014, the Company entered into a 9-year lease for a 366,000 square-foot facility to consolidate its furniture and mattress operations, and in March 2014 the Company entered into a 12 1/2-year lease for a 539,000 square-foot facility, half of which is subleased for 5 years, to improve and expand its distribution and warehousing capabilities.

Industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes increased during the first three months of 2014 when compared to the same period of the prior year, while the Company’s net sales of components for new manufactured homes declined during the same period of 2014, primarily due to customer mix, as the Company’s content per unit varies between customers, and loss of market share for certain products. As a result, the Company’s content per manufactured home produced for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2014
declined from the prior year period.
The trend in the Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced is an indicator of the Company’s overall market share of components for new manufactured homes. Manufactured homes contain one or more “floors” or sections which can be joined to make larger homes. The larger homes typically contain more of the Company’s products. The Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced by the industry and total manufactured home floors produced by the industry, calculated based upon the Company’s net sales of components to manufactured housing OEMs for newly produced manufactured homes for the twelve month periods ended

Cash Flows from Operations
Net cash flows from operating activities in the first
three
months of
2014
were $28.4 million higher than the same period of
2013
, primarily due to:
•
A $7.8 million increase in net income in the first
three
months of
2014
compared to the first
three
months of
2013
.
•
A decrease in inventories of
$4.4 million
in the first
three
months of
2014
compared to an increase of
$12.8 million
in the first
three
months of
2013
. The decrease in inventories in the first
three
months of
2014
was primarily due to the higher than expected sales, as well as the concerted effort of management to improve inventory turns on a sustainable basis. The increase in the first
three
months of
2013
was primarily to support the significant increase in April 2013 net sales. Inventory turnover for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2014
increased to 8.1 turns from 7.9 turns for the full year
2013
and the twelve months ended
March 31, 2013
.
•
A $7.7 million larger increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the first
three
months of
2014
compared to the first
three
months of
2013
, primarily due to increased payroll related costs and sales rebates, as well as the timing of these payments.
•
A $4.8 million larger increase in accounts payable in the first
three
months of
2014
compared to the first
three
months of
2013
, primarily due to the increase in sales, production and earnings, as well as the timing of these payments.
Partially offset by:
•
A $10.4 million larger seasonal increase in accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, primarily due to increased sales, as well as the timing of payments by the Company’s customers. Accounts receivable balances remain current, with only 22 days sales outstanding at
March 31, 2014
.
Over the long term, based on the Company’s historical collection and payment patterns, as well as inventory turnover, the Company expects working capital to increase or decrease equivalent to approximately 10 percent to 12 percent of the 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
$7.2 million
in the first
three
months of
2014
, and is expected to aggregate $30 million to $32 million for the full year

On February 27, 2014, the Company acquired Innovative Design Solutions, Inc. (“IDS”), a designer, developer and manufacturer of electronic systems encompassing a wide variety of RV applications. IDS also manufactures electronic systems for automotive, medical and industrial applications. IDS had annual sales of approximately $19 million in 2013, of which $13 million were to the Company. The purchase price was $36.6 million, of which $34.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid out annually over the subsequent three years, plus contingent consideration based on future sales of this operation.
On March 14, 2014, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Star Design, LLC. Star Design had annual sales of approximately $10 million in 2013, comprised primarily of thermoformed sheet plastic products for the RV, bus and specialty vehicle industries. The purchase price was $12.2 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 1.5 percent to 2.0 percent of net sales, while the growth portion has averaged approximately 10 percent to 12 percent of the annual increase in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, such as new initiatives by the Company, especially in the short term.
The Company estimates that capital expenditures will be $32 million to $36 million for the full year
2014
, including $18 million to $20 million of “replacement” capital expenditures and $14 million to $16 million of “growth” capital expenditures. Additional capital expenditures may be required in 2014 depending on the extent of the sales growth and other initiatives by the Company.
The capital expenditures and acquisitions during the first
three
months of
2014
were funded from available cash plus periodic borrowings under the Company’s line of credit. The capital expenditures for the balance of
2014
are expected to be funded from available cash plus periodic borrowings under the Company's line of credit.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows used for financing activities in the first
three
months of
2014
include the payment of a special dividend of $2.00 per share of the Company’s Common Stock, representing an aggregate of
$46.7 million
, paid to stockholders of record as of December 20, 2013, partially offset by a net increase in debt of $10.0 million. The increase in debt was due to borrowings under the Company's line of credit. In addition, in the first
three
months of
2014
, the Company received
$3.3 million
in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation, partially offset by
$1.1 million
in payments for contingent consideration related to acquisitions. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company received $5.0 million in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation, partially offset by $0.9 million in payments for contingent consideration related to acquisitions.
In connection with several business acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded an
$8.4 million
liability for the aggregate fair value of these expected contingent consideration liabilities at
March 31, 2014
. The Company expects to pay
$2.7 million
over the next twelve months related to these contingent consideration liabilities. For further information see Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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. (collectively, the “Lenders”), amending the Company's previous $50.0 million line of credit that was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2016. The maximum borrowings under the Company’s new line of credit can be increased by $25.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the new 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 percent to 1.0 percent (minus 1.0 percent at
March 31, 2014
), but not less than 1.5 percent, or (ii) LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 1.75 percent to 2.0 percent (1.75 percent at
March 31, 2014
) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
on January 1, 2019. At
March 31, 2014
, the Company had $2.2 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company’s new line of credit was $62.8 million at
March 31, 2014
.
Simultaneously, the Company also entered into a $150.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”), amending the Company's previous $150.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential. The new facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. At
March 31, 2014
, there were no Senior Promissory Notes outstanding. This new facility expires on February 24, 2017.
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, at
March 31, 2014
the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At
March 31, 2014
, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.
Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at
March 31, 2014
. The remaining availability under these facilities was $212.8 million at
March 31, 2014
. The Company believes the availability under the amended line of credit and “shelf-loan” facility, together with the
$6.1 million
in cash at
March 31, 2014
, is more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company is in compliance with the corporate governance requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s governance documents and committee charters and key practices have been posted to the Company’s website (www.drewindustries.com) and are updated periodically. The website also contains, or provides direct links to, all SEC filings, press releases and investor presentations. The Company has also established a Whistleblower Policy, which includes a toll-free hotline (877-373-9123) to report complaints about the Company’s accounting, internal controls, auditing matters or other concerns. The whistleblower policy and procedure for complaints can be found on the Company’s website (www.drewindustries.com).
CONTINGENCIES
Additional information required by this item is included in Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and under Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
INFLATION
The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of steel and aluminum, and components used by the Company which are made from these raw materials, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of these commodities have historically been volatile, and over the past few months prices have continued to fluctuate. The Company did not experience any significant increases in its labor costs in the first
three
months of
2014
related to inflation.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There were no accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, sales and purchase rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, executive succession, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and various other assumptions 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.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities, acquisitions, plans and objectives of management, markets for the Company’s Common Stock and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 our future business prospects, net sales, expenses and income (loss), cash flow, and financial condition, whenever they occur in this Form 10-Q are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management at the time such statements were made. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, in addition to other matters described in this Form 10-Q, pricing pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of raw materials (particularly steel, steel based components and aluminum) and other components, availability of credit for financing the retail and wholesale purchase of products for which we sell our components, availability and costs of labor, employee retention, inventory levels of retail dealers and manufacturers, levels of repossessed products for which we sell our components, changes in zoning regulations for manufactured homes, seasonality and cyclicality in the industries to which we sell our products, the financial condition of our customers, the financial condition of retail dealers of products for which we sell our components, retention and concentration of significant customers, the pace of and successful integration of acquisitions, realization of efficiency improvements, the successful entry into new markets, the costs of compliance with increased governmental regulation, 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 we sell our components, and other risks and uncertainties discussed more fully under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2013
, and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim 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, 2014
, the Company had
$10.0 million
of variable rate debt outstanding. Assuming there is an increase of 100 basis points in the interest rate for borrowings under these variable rate loans subsequent to
March 31, 2014
, and outstanding borrowings of
$10.0 million
, future cash flows would be reduced by $0.1 million per annum.
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. While these derivative instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, these fluctuations are generally offset by the changes in fair value of the underlying exposures. At
March 31, 2014
, the Company had no derivative instruments outstanding.
The Company has historically been able to obtain sales price increases to offset the majority of raw material cost increases. However, there can be no assurance that future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases will match raw material cost increases.
Additional information required by this item is included under the caption “Inflation” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Report.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is (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.
The Company, 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, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose for which they were designed as of the end of such period.
b)
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company has selected a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, and has begun implementing that system. Although to date there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls, the Company anticipates internal controls will be strengthened incrementally due both to the installation of the new ERP software and business process changes. The full implementation is expected to take several years.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2014, 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 28, 2014.
