Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Patrick Industries' Second Quarter 2015 Conference Call. I'm joined on the call today by Todd Cleveland, President and CEO and Andy Nemeth, CFO.

Thank you, Julie Ann, and thank you all for joining us on the call today. This morning, I will be discussing the company's second quarter and six-month results for the period ending June 28, 2015, and then provide an update on the major markets we serve. Andy will then provide specific details on our financial performance and I will conclude by providing an update on our business outlook. The company's performance in the second quarter and first-half of 2015 continued to be aligned with our expectations and reflected increased revenue, improved profitability and strong cash flows. On the top line, our revenues increased 24% the second quarter and 28% in the first six months over the prior year periods. And the bottom-line our net income per diluted share for both second quarter in the first half of 2015 grew 37% over the prior year. The overall revenue growth we experienced in the second quarter was attributed to the solid start of 2015 in all three of the primary end markets we serve as well as continued execution of our strategic plan related to the impact and successful integration of the acquisitions we completed over the past 18 months. On the RV side of the business, we continue to increase our overall content per unit, product offering and market share. We believe we're well-positioned with both our current stable of products and our ability to deliver new and innovative products at various price points to match up with our customer demand levels and buying patterns. Additionally, we believe overall, OEM and dealer sentiment in the RV industry remains positive, consistent with a strong retail selling season. We remain bullish in the industry as a whole as we head in to the model change for the 2016 year. The current mix-shift in…

Thanks Todd, and welcome everyone. I would like to review some highlights of our financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2015. Our net sales for the second quarter of 2015 increased approximately $46 million or 24% over the prior year period to $234 million, reflecting a combination of industry and acquisition growth including market share growth. Our RV revenue base, which accounts for approximately 75% of our second quarter sales, was up approximately 26% in the second quarter of 2015 over the second quarter of 2014, reflecting a 3% increase in wholesale unit shipments during the quarter, coupled with continued acquisition and overall content growth. Our RV unit content on a TPM basis grew 21% from $1,410 per unit in 2014 to $1,707 per unit in 2015. Our MH revenue base which accounts for approximately 14% of second quarter sales, increased 18% for the quarter, on estimated unit shipment improvements of approximately 4%. Our content per unit continues to strengthen, and show positive trending. Our MH unit content on a TTM basis increased 13%, from $1,592 per unit in 2014 to an estimated $1797 in 2015, reflecting additional market share gains and penetration with our existing customer base. We continue to be well-positioned for improvement in this market sector as the MH industry continues to recover. Our industrial revenue base which account for the remaining 11% of second quarter sales was up approximately 20% the second quarter of 2015 over the second quarter of 2014, as our industrial sales team continues to increase its presence and share and capitalize on our core competencies in this area. We are excited about the opportunities that currently exist in the industrial space as we continue to benefit from the positive momentum in residential housing and from a slight shift…

Thanks, Andy. Overall as I previously noted, we're pleased with the operating results for first half of 2015 and are optimistic about the future of all three of the market sectors, both short and long term. As the RV lifestyle continue to attract new buyers in the market, in particular in North America, our team continues to be focused on meeting the needs of our customers and is well positioned to meet any challenges head on with the goal of always striving to provide the highest level of customer service and high-quality innovative products. In terms of our business outlook for the second half of 2015, as we head into the third quarter and the RV dealer show season we expect to see similar seasonal patterns experienced in prior years including sequential softening in Q3 as dealers anxiously await the new products for 2016. Our execution goals for 2015 and beyond continue to be focused around driving our organizational strategic agenda and utilizing our capital allocation strategy to increase the top-line growth through acquisition and organically and triggering improved operating income, net income, earnings per share and free cash flow. In addition, I believe the ongoing support we've received from our Board of Directors, our five banking partners, our 3,400 plus team members and our customers who we're privileged to serve has afforded us the opportunity to be a successful organization in the marketplace today. I'm confident in the ability of our management team and all our team members to continue to execute on our strategic plan and take the company forward, and to continue to provide shareholder value. This is the end of our prepared remarks. Thank you for your time today. We're now ready to take questions.

Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from Dan Moore from CJS Securities. Please go ahead.

Good morning. Thanks for taking the questions.

Good morning.

Just to look at the kind of macro-environment, Todd and Andy, wholesale shipments slowed a little bit, RV wholesale shipments slowed a bit in May and June. What is your sense for July and is your expectation and inventory rebalancing at the dealer level, do you expect that to continue or do you think we're through a lot of that at this point. I know it's a little bit of a crystal ball but what's your general sense?

Sure. This is Todd. I think we're going to continue to see that balancing that we saw in the latter half of the second quarter into July and August has -- the dealers themselves are really looking forward to the opportunities to get a look at the new products at the September show. And a lot of the feedback we're getting is, a lot of the new models that the OEMs are coming out with has some real interesting features to them. And like I said, bottom line is I think everybody is excited about that. And on the dealers, as a whole, are basically, looking for that product and waiting for that product and so, we'll probably continue to see that into the July, August timeframe.

Very helpful. And on the retail side of the equation it's held up very well year-to-date, up double digits through, April. I don't think we have figures yet, but what's your sense for May, June, and perhaps July just anecdotally?

Yes, based on -- again, this is Todd. But based on, the feedback that we're getting both from the OEMs and actually talking to some dealers is that the retail traffic continues to be strong. So nothing out there that's kind of has any of them concerned. So my immediate thoughts are that, I think we're going to continue to see strong retail demand pushed through the second quarter, and really into the early third quarter.

Very helpful. And just changing gears. The operating leverage in margin improvement were very impressive, 8.7% operating margin in Q2. It's obviously seasonally strong. But maybe, Andy, you should talk about where you think margins can go over the next multiple years as you continue to lay around more revenue onto some of the fixed cost basis?

Sure. This is Andy. Our expectation is that we will continue to incrementally grow both gross margins and operating margins on an annual basis. We don't really give specific guidance that relates to out years. But I would tell you that internally our goal is to grow, overall operating margins between 10 to 30 basis points on an annual basis. And so, that's kind of what we target just generically.

Very good, and then one more and I will jump back in queue. A little bit more philosophical, but, Todd, maybe 10 years and going back a decade Patrick was no more of an MH company. Obviously RV has driven the train over the last five, six, seven, eight years. If you look at again another five years, would you expect some of that this stronger growth both organically and inorganically in other areas and a more balanced portfolio, or do you think RV will continue to be three quarters of the business plus or minus?

No, I think over the course of time, obviously we've talked in the past about, and even in -- and even today a little bit. In the confidence we have in the MH industry and where we think it can go, coupled with the fact of our industrial sales, which we continue to gain market share and gain product breadth in different territories So, I would say, we're going to see stronger sales coming from the MH and residential housing side of things, along with the commercial store fixture guys who continue to support us on the industrial products that we serve.

Very helpful, I'll jump back in queue. Thank you.

[Operator Instructions] And our next questions come from Scott Stember from C.L. King. Please go ahead.

Good morning, guys.

Good morning.

Maybe if you could talk about manufactured housing again. The last few quarters you have significantly outpaced what the industry has done. It seems like we have a nice little trend here. And I know that there's been some content gains, but could you maybe just talk about what's behind those content gains, are these new products or these new segments within MH, different type of house, or something that's requiring a higher content. Just maybe just talk about that a little bit and the sustainability of this growth?

Sure. This is Todd. Yes. I mean, I would say that what you've seen in our core stable of products, we continue to come up with what I'm going to call variations of our existing products on the manufacturing side. But we continue to gain market share. Our sales team has done an excellent job of continuing to build relationship with the OEMs. And as a result we've been able to infuse our existing products into those -- into those OEMs. So, I would think that we will continue to it would be our philosophy and our drive to continue to execute on that continued growth on the MH side.

Okay. And, Andy, you spoke about you have a typical capital allocation cycle of aggressive acquisition activity and then de-leveraging. Can you ever just talk about what the acquisition pipeline looks like right now compared to past periods, and then maybe just talk about what you think you are in that cycle going forward.

Certainly. We've been able to continue to execute on that strategy to be able to utilize our leverage, to be able to be acquisitive in the market and then de-lever very quickly which continues to be reflective in our numbers. I'd tell you today that the pipeline continues to be fairly robust and full. We see a lot of opportunities out there today to continue on that strategy. And our leverage profile is in a position -- once again we're ready to execute if we deem that the diligence that we should -- we should do so. So, I would tell you that the pipeline is full. We're excited about the opportunities that are out there. And we're in a good position to be able to execute on that strategy.

And just to follow up on that, can you maybe just talk about the average profile of some of these companies that you're looking at?

Yes. So, the pipeline continues to have size and scale. I would tell you that on average $20 million to $25 million in revenue is kind of the average size and scale, although there is some larger scale opportunities out there today in not only the RV space but in different markets, that they're attractive as well. So, our profile has expanded over the course of the last several years. I would tell you that our sweet spot today is a $30 million to $40 million acquisition with $60 million to $70 million in revenue. However, that certainly doesn't preclude us from looking at larger acquisitions. And again, I think that today, we've got several in the pipeline that we continue to explore. So, our window is wide open as it relates to opportunities. And especially if we look at them and we determine that there is, a lot of strategic value to them. We see opportunities to continue to execute both on the smaller scale and the larger side of the scale.

Got it. That's all I have right now. I'll jump back into the queue if I have anything. Thanks.

Thank you. And our next question comes from Dan Moore from CJS Securities. Please go ahead.

Thank you, again. Andy, I apologize. I missed the revenue content for RV and growth on a year-over-year basis, can you repeat that?

Sure. Our RV content is at $1,717, our $1,707 per unit. We're up 21%.

Got it. And what was your general sense, I know there's a lot of moving parts but general sense for organic growth overall in the quarter?

Yes. I think organically, just all in I think we're about flat for this particular quarter. We are seeing a little bit of a shift today to lower end units, however we're extremely excited about that, to be honest with you. In the long-term I think that that points to an expanded RV channel buyers that points to better demographics for the future. So we're seeing a little bit of impact as it relates to that. We've seen some commodity prices decline at small levels across various product commodity lines. However, we've been able to, continue to manage our commodity pricing and commodity product lines. So at the end of the day, I think on a quarterly basis we're seeing a little bit of fluctuation but overall we are gaining market share and doing well as it relates to our strategy to continue to grow content, so we feel good about where things are at, even though we've got just a little bit of fluctuation going on quarter to quarter.

Absolutely. So it sounds like that impact is a mixed shift to lower price points, it could be as much as a few hundred basis points in terms of organic growth?

Correct. And again, I think that the differentiator is between, what we would consider to be true market growth and just organic dollars. And so, from an organic dollar perspective that's where you are seeing a little bit of that, but overall like I said from a market share perspective we are continuing to take market share.

Absolutely. And lastly, you mentioned that acquisition pipeline is robust. You bought back shares in the past. Given leverage where are today in the balance sheet, are you considering more balanced approach with the stock going back a year, like the short answer for the question is, do you consider buybacks at these levels in addition to acquisitions?

We do and I've said on some other calls, neither one of our -- neither one of the initiatives that we got in our capital allocation strategy is mutually exclusive of each other, so we're going to continue to use that balanced approach with stock repurchases acquisitions, CAPEX. We're going to look at where the opportunities exist and we have the ability and capacity to execute on all three of those at the same time.

All right. Thank you again for the color.

Thank you.

Thank you. And our next question comes from Peter Ben Rubin, please go ahead.

Hey, guys.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Just going back to the previous question on organic growth, can you walk us through organic growth for the industrial market and manufacturing housing market as well?

We are continuing to take market share in both of those markets. We don't break down our organic growth individually between markets. But I will tell you that, again, we are continuing to take market share in all three sectors.

Okay, got it. And then as you guys kind of see the new models come out in the back half of this year, would you expect that headwind in terms of content or lower price units to start to go away?

I don't know that we'll see necessarily a change. And I guess I would also say that we don't necessarily consider that a headwind. I think you've got just a little bit of mix. But as we've kind of talked about it earlier I think from our perspective it points to long-term growth or better long-term growth opportunities with younger buyers in the market. And so, again, we are seeing a little bit of that shift. I think we're probably continue to see that, through the remainder of the next quarter or so. And even possibly beyond that, but again, from our perspective, overall as we look at, long-term for the cycle we believe that this is a positive.

Got it. Thanks, guys.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Operator Instructions] And our next question comes from Scott Stember from C.L. King, please go ahead.

Yes, just following up on the content in the mixed shift. Just longer term, if you look at some of the acquisitions that you've made, obviously it looks like there could be some higher content compared to some of your older legacy products that you have. Overtime as this wind up becoming organic in nature, would you expect there's a possibility to see that content or that organic content actually start to flatten out and actually increase at some point?

We would expect it to continue to increase. And so, what we'd tell you is that from an acquisition perspective the acquisitions that we've brought on bring a tremendous amount of value added product lines to the market. And so, we are continuing to take share, both organically and legacy, and with well with our acquisitions as we continue to go forward. So, I don't necessarily see a slowing of that trend from our perspective. I think if anything there's more opportunity based on the new and innovative products that we've been able to bring on.

Got it. That's all I have. Thank you.

Thank you. We have no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the presentation back over to Julie Ann Kotowski.
