LCI Industries Reports Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2022 Results

LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII) (the "Company") which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc., supplies a broad array of highly engineered components for the leading original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in the recreation and transportation product markets, and the related aftermarkets of those industries, today provided select preliminary, unaudited financial results ranges for the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Company expects net sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 to be in the range of $890 million to $900 million, and loss per diluted share to be in the range of $0.62 to $0.73.

“During the fourth quarter, RV OEMs made larger-than-anticipated adjustments to production levels by taking a collective month of production down in order to normalize inventories as retail demand slowed, which had an adverse impact on our results. In response, we moved quickly to align our operations and manufacturing costs to current market conditions in order to support profitability in 2023, and as a result, we incurred severance-related and inventory reserve costs in the fourth quarter,” commented Jason Lippert, LCI Industries’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite these near-term impacts, we believe that our core RV demographics remain strong, and that RV dealer inventories are starting to come down. We anticipate RV OEM production to return to run rates more consistent with 2019 levels in the back half of 2023."

"The non-RV related parts of our business where we have been successfully driving diversification are proving more resilient, and we anticipate a rebound in aftermarket as parts supply improves across the industry. Additionally, our teams continue to drive new innovative products to support future growth," Lippert continued. "In the interim, our experienced leadership team is taking prudent action, adjusting our cost structure while executing on our proven diversification strategy to minimize the impact of softened RV demand, drive sustainable growth, and generate long-term shareholder value.”

The financial results ranges included in this release are preliminary, unaudited, and are estimates based on information available to Company management as of the date of this release. These preliminary estimates are subject to change, including as a result of the completion of year-end accounting and financial reporting and audit procedures. The Company's actual results may differ materially from these preliminary estimated financial results due to a number of factors, including those that may result from the completion of our financial close process. The Company expects to report complete results for the fourth quarter of 2022 on February 14, 2023.
