Patrick Industries Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Patrick Industries reported flat year-over-year revenue despite a 16% decline in RV wholesale shipments, attributed to diversification across Marine, Powersports, and Housing markets. Management highlighted decade-long investments that reduced reliance on any single market, resulting in 70% revenue growth since 2019. The company is focusing on AI tools, automation, and value engineering to improve efficiency and affordability for OEM partners. The merger with LCI Industries is expected to close by mid-2027 and will generate $150 million in annual savings through synergies. Management anticipates leverage reduction over the next two quarters via working capital releases and improved inventory turns, while 2026 RV wholesale unit forecasts range between 285,000 and 300,000 units with a projected decline in production for Q4 compared to Q1. RV retail demand remains weak due to high interest rates and low consumer confidence. New anti-dumping duties on Indonesian luan plywood are expected to create pricing pressure later this year. Share repurchases have been restricted under the LCI merger agreement, following $91 million in buybacks during Q2.
