LCI Industries (NYSE:LCII), a leading supplier of engineered components to the recreation and transportation markets, today reported first quarter 2026 results.

"I am so pleased with our team's performance across the business helping get us off to a very strong start despite very challenging retail and wholesale environments in the leisure markets we serve. Our focus for the last year, in addition to innovation and growth, has been on plant optimizations, G&A restructuring, and other self-help initiatives driving us toward stronger financial health no matter how tough the environment. As a result, we were able to generate meaningful earnings growth," said Jason Lippert, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This strong performance and the growth we achieved during a muted quarter for industry output further validates the success of our targeted investments in operational excellence and diversification. Our team's emphasis on footprint and cost structure optimization efforts has amplified these results, enhancing the long-term earnings power of our platform. Looking ahead, regardless of the macro environment, our key performance drivers include rapid content-per-unit expansion through innovation, a dedicated focus on growing the aftermarket business that is positioned to service nearly every RV on the road, and accelerating traction across OEM markets. The updated outlook shared today reflects our confidence in broadening our ability to serve our customers and our team's consistent execution in driving long-term shareholder value."

First Quarter 2026 Results

Consolidated net sales increased 4.3% to $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2026, up from $1.0 billion in the same period of 2025. The $44.9 million increase was primarily driven by a $29.3 million increase in the OEM Segment, reflecting sales price increases to cover higher material costs, sales from acquired businesses during the year ($46.8 million in the first quarter), and an increase in North American RV sales driven by recent innovations and a higher mix of premium fifth-wheel units, partially offset by a decrease in North American travel trailer and fifth-wheel shipments.

Net income was up 27% to $62.9 million, or $2.53 per diluted share, compared to $49.4 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income increased to $62.9 million, or $2.59 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $55.6 million, or $2.19 per adjusted diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $125.0 million, compared to $110.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. Operating profit margin increased to 8.7% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 7.8% in the same period of 2025. Year-over-year margin expansion was driven primarily by reduced costs resulting from our materials sourcing strategies and the benefits of other cost improvement actions, such as footprint optimizations.

*Additional information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, and adjusted EBITDA used throughout this release, as well as reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of net income, is provided in the "Supplementary Information - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" section below.

OEM Segment - First Quarter Performance

OEM net sales increased $29.3 million, or 4%, to $852.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period of 2025. RV OEM net sales decreased 4% to $509.8 million, primarily due to a decrease in North American travel trailer and fifth-wheel shipments, partially offset by sales price increases to cover higher material costs, an increase in RV sales mix toward higher content fifth-wheel units, an increase in North American motorhome RV unit shipments, and recent innovations. Adjacent Industries OEM net sales increased 17% year-over-year to $343.0 million, primarily driven by sales from acquired businesses and higher sales to North American marine OEMs.

Operating profit of the OEM Segment was $76.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, or 9.0% of net sales, compared to $62.0 million, or 7.5% of net sales, in the same period in 2025. The operating profit margin expansion was primarily driven by increases in selling prices to cover increased material costs, and cost improvement actions such as footprint optimizations and material sourcing strategies. These gains were partially offset by higher material costs related to tariffs and increased steel and aluminum costs.

Aftermarket Segment - First Quarter Performance

Aftermarket net sales increased 7% to $237.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by sales price increases to cover higher material costs and sales from acquired businesses, partially offset by volume decreases in the automotive and marine aftermarkets. Operating profit of the Aftermarket Segment was $18.7 million, or 7.8% of net sales, compared to $19.3 million, or 8.7% of net sales, in the same period of 2025. The operating profit margin decrease was primarily driven by higher material costs related to tariffs and increased steel costs, and investments in capacity and distribution. These pressures were partially offset by increases in selling prices to cover increased material costs, reduced costs as a result of materials sourcing strategies, and a favorable shift in sales mix.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 26.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 26.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The improvement in the effective tax rate for the first quarter 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

Balance Sheet and Other Items

At March 31, 2026, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $142.2 million, relative to $222.6 million at December 31, 2025. The Company used $27.9 million for dividend payments to shareholders and $9.7 million for capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The Company's outstanding long-term indebtedness, including current maturities, was $945.0 million at March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $595.2 million of borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility.

Outlook

Based on current market and economic conditions along with existing tariffs, the Company expects the following:

• April 2026 net sales of approximately $374 million, down 4% from prior year
• 2026 North American RV wholesale shipments of 315,000 to 330,000, lowering from the previous range of 335,000 to 350,000
• 2026 revenue of $4.2 billion to $4.3 billion
• 2026 operating profit margin of 7.5% to 8.0%
• 2026 adjusted EPS of $8.75 to $9.25, raising the lower end of previous range from $8.25 and reaffirming the upper end

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(unaudited)

The following table reconciles net income to Adjusted EBITDA and net income as a percentage of net sales to Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

The following table reconciles net income to adjusted net income and net income per diluted share to adjusted net income per adjusted diluted share ("Adjusted EPS").

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has provided the non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, adjusted net income, and Adjusted EPS to illustrate and improve comparability of its results from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, and loss on extinguishment of debt, as applicable, during the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Adjusted net income is defined as net income adjusted for loss on extinguishment of debt and the related tax effect, as applicable, during the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Adjusted EPS is defined as adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding - adjusted diluted, which includes an adjustment for the dilutive effect of the 2030 Convertible Notes under the if-converted method for the three month period ended March 31, 2026. The Company considers these non-GAAP measures in evaluating and managing the Company's operations and believes that discussion of results adjusted for these items is meaningful to investors because it provides a useful analysis of ongoing underlying operating trends. These measures are not in accordance with, nor are they substitutes for, GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Further, the Company has provided its outlook for full-year 2026 Adjusted EPS in this release. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because the Company is unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. The financial impact of such items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to the Company's consolidated statements of income.
