2.RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Goodwill Impairment

Income Taxes
In January 2017,December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". This ASU simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. The standard requires that the impairment loss be measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. It eliminates the second step that requires the impairment to be measured between the implied value of a reporting unit's goodwill and its carrying value. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which amends certain provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326, “Financial Instruments-Credit Loss”. The ASU changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held to maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities are required to use a
9


new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Additionally, entities are required to disclose more information with respect to credit quality indicators, including information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", a new standard to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluatingThe Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 and the impact of this standardadoption did not have a material effect on ourits condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)", a new standard providing final guidance to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as SOFR. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity", a new standard that simplifies certain accounting treatments for convertible debt instruments. The guidance eliminates certain requirements that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features and simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. In addition, the new guidance requires entities use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted EPSnet income per share calculation and include the effect of potential share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, with certain exceptions. Furthermore, the guidance requires new disclosures about events that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met and about the fair value of convertible debt at the instrument level, among other things. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.At this point in time, we anticipate the primary impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will be a reduction in non-cash interest expense as well as a reduction in diluted net income per share attributable to the application of the if-converted method for our convertible notes discussed in Note 9.

(1) Certain immaterial operations permanently ceased activities during the nine months ended September 27, 2020. As a result, we recorded a $2.0 million pre-tax impairment of customer relationships and trademarks of these operations after determining the net carrying value of the assets was no longer recoverable. The impairment was calculated using our internal projections of discounted cash flows, which rely on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy based on the unobservable nature of the underlying data. The impairment was recorded in selling, general and administrative in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 27, 2020.
Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets (trademarks) for impairment on an annual basis (as of September 30, 2019 for our most recent annual tests) and, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred, on an interim basis. Our 2019 tests indicated that there was no impairment, as fair value exceeded carrying values, and we concluded that none of our reporting units or trademarks were at risk of failing the impairment test.

Despite the excess fair value identified in our 2019 impairment tests, we assessed during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020 whether the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on overall macroeconomic conditions and our results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020 indicated that at September 27, 2020 it was more likely than not that our goodwill and trademarks were impaired. We evaluated among other factors (i) the results of our 2019 impairment tests; (ii) our market capitalization at September 27, 2020 in relation to the carrying amount of shareholders’ equity at September 27, 2020 and to fair values determined during our 2019 impairment tests; (iii) the results of our operations during the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020 in relation to our projections; and (iv) our analysis of the impact on the fair values determined during our 2019 impairment tests using more recent projections and discount rates that account for various risks and uncertainties, including the duration and extent of impact to our business, related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on the results of our assessment, and other than immaterial impairments discussed above, we concluded that no triggering events had occurred which would indicate the fair values of our goodwill and trademarks may be less than the carrying values at September 27, 2020. However, we are unable to predict how long the COVID-19-related conditions will persist, what additional measures may be introduced by governments or private parties, or what effect any such additional measures may have on demand for our products or those of our customers in each of our end markets. As such, the outcome of our 2020 impairment tests, which we will perform in the fourth quarter of 2020, could result in an impairment of our goodwill or our trademarks.

We estimate the value of acquired property, plant, and equipment using a combination of the income, cost, and market approaches, such as estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the acquired businesses.

We estimate the value of customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a variation on the income approach, calculating the present value of incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset. Non-compete agreements are valued using a discounted cash flow approach, which is a variation of an income approach, with and without the individual counterparties to the non-compete agreements. Trademarks are valued using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value.

10.DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's credit facility exposes the Company to risks associated with the variability in interest expense associated with fluctuations in LIBOR. To partially mitigate this risk, the Company has historically entered into interest rate swaps. As of September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, the Company had a combined notional principal amount of $200.0$200 million of interest rate swap agreements, all of which are designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements effectively convert the interest expense associated with a portion of the Company's variable rate debt from variable interest rates to fixed interest rates and have maturities ranging from February 2022 to March 2022.

OVERVIEW OF MARKETS AND RELATED INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE

Our four primary end markets each experienced sharp recoveries in the third quarter of 2020 following the production disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2020. In aggregate, we achieved our highest quarterly sales in the Company's history in the third quarter of 2020, with revenue from the RV, marine and industrial end markets increasing in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year. RV and marine original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") experienced a strong increase in dealer demand in the third quarter of 2020, when compared to the prior year quarter, driven by increases in RV and marine retail sales against a background of low RV and marine dealer inventories. Our industrial end market benefited in the third quarter of 2020 from increases in housing starts and an increase in home improvement activity. Our MH end market recovered in the third quarter of 2020 from COVID-19 production disruptions in the second quarter of 2020, and OEM demand in this end market is strong despite short-term OEM labor and supply constraints experienced in the third quarter of 2020. In addition, our team members are currently working full production schedules, having adopted CDC, state, and local best practice safety protocols.

ThirdFirst Quarter and Nine Months 20202021 Financial Overview

Recreational Vehicle ("RV") Industry 
The RV industry is our largestprimary market and comprised 60%59% and 55% of the Company’s sales in the thirdfirst quarter ended September 27,March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020, and September 29, 2019, respectively, and 55% and 56% for the comparative 2020 and 2019 nine month periods.respectively. Sales to the RV industry increased 36% in the third quarter of 2020 and decreased 5%57% in the first nine monthsquarter of 2020,2021 compared to the prior year periods.

According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association ("RVIA"), wholesale shipments totaled 124,033 units in the third quarter of 2020, increasing 33% compared to 93,357approximately 148,500 units in the thirdfirst quarter of 2019. Towable and motorized wholesale unit shipments increased 37% and 5%, respectively, for2021, an increase of 48% compared to approximately 100,400 units in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year quarter. Wholesale unit shipments for the first nine months of 2020 decreased 3%, totaling 300,100 units compared to 309,938 units in the

prior year period. Towable and motorized wholesale unit shipments decreased 1% and 20%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2020 compared to the prior year period. Retail unit sales are estimated to have increased between 25%-30% and between 4%-6% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively.2020. The increase in wholesale and retail RVunit shipments in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020 was2021 is attributed to an increase in RV dealer demand for RV units. This increase in dealer demand is correlated with consumer demand for RV units, which we believe is in part correlated with changes in consumer recreation patterns, which include an increased interest in outdoor recreation. According to our estimates, RV dealer inventories are trending at historical lows relative to what we understand to be typical inventory levels of RV dealers. We believe that the RV industry against a backgroundsupply-demand dynamics of historically low dealer inventory. The decreaseinventory levels, combined with strong retail consumer demand, have resulted in wholesale shipmentspositive momentum in our RV end market. We estimate RV retail unit sales increased 30-35% in the first nine monthsquarter of 2020 is largely attributed2021 compared to COVID-19 market disruptions. The increase in retail unit sales for the first nine months of 2020 is largely due to the increase in consumer demand in the RV industry, partially offset by COVID-19 market disruptions. Based on our estimates, RV dealer inventories at the end of the third quarter of 2020 were at their lowest level since 2014.2020.
Marine Industry
Sales to the marine industry, which represented approximately 14%16% and 13% of the Company's consolidated net sales in the thirdfirst quarter of 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, increased 25% in the third quarter of 202075% compared to the prior year quarter. SalesOur marine revenue is generally correlated to marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments, and according to National Marine Manufacturers Association ("NMMA") marine wholesale powerboat unit shipments increased an estimated

14% for the first quarter 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. At the same time, marine industry, representing 14% ofretail powerboat unit sales increased an estimated 30-35% in the first nine monthsquarter of 2020 and 2019, decreased 10% in the 2020 period2021 compared to the prior year period.

For the thirdfirst quarter of 2020, overallbenefiting from increased demand for powerboats, resulting in marine dealer inventory levels that we believe are at their lowest since 2014 as retail sales continue outpacing marine wholesale unit shipments in the powerboat sector, which is the Company's primary marine market, decreased an estimated 4%, with aluminum fishing sales decreasing an estimated 7%; pontoon sales decreasing an estimated 2%; fiberglass sales decreasing an estimated 4% and ski and wake sales decreasing an estimated 2%. The decrease in wholesale marine shipments in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020 was attributed to marine OEM capacity constraints that were the result of an rapid transition from production shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the late first quarter and early second quarter of 2020 to production acceleration in response to a sharp increase in consumer demand in the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2020, overall marine wholesale unit shipments in the powerboat sector decreased an estimated 19%, with aluminum fishing sales decreasing an estimated 11%; pontoon sales decreasing an estimated 25%; fiberglass sales decreasing an estimated 22% and ski and wake sales decreasing an estimated 20%. The decrease in wholesale unit shipments during the first nine months of 2020 is primarily attributed to temporary OEM production shutdowns during the late first quarter and early second quarter of 2020 in addition to OEM capacity constraints in the third quarter of 2020, discussed above.

Manufactured Housing ("MH") Industry
Sales to the MH industry, which represented 15%14% and 19% of the Company’s sales in the thirdfirst quarter of 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively, decreased 1%increased 7% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20202021 compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2019. MH sales represented 18% of the Company's sales for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019 and decreased 5% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the prior year period.2020. Based on industry data from the Manufactured Housing Institute, MH wholesale unit shipments decreased by approximately 2%increased 5% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20202021 compared to the prior year quarter and decreased 2% for the first nine months of 2020 compared to the prior year period. MH wholesale unit shipments were impacted by OEM labor and supply constraints in the third quarter of 2020 and temporary OEM plant shutdowns in the first nine months of 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Industrial Market
The industrial market is comprised primarily of the kitchen cabinet industry, hospitality market, retail and commercial fixtures market, office and household furniture market and regional distributors. Sales to this market represented 11% and 13% of our sales in the thirdfirst quarter of 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and increased 9%17% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20202021 compared to the prior year quarter. Sales to the industrial market represented 13% and 12% of our sales for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and increased 7% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the prior year period. Overall, our revenues in these markets are focused on the residential housing, hospitality, high-rise housing and office, commercial construction and institutional furniture markets. We estimate that approximately 60% of our industrial business is directly tied to the residential housing market, with the remaining 40% directly tied to the non-residential and commercial markets.
CombinedAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, combined new housing starts increased 11%10% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20202021 compared to the prior year quarter, with single family housing starts increasing 17%20% and multifamily residential starts decreasing 1%.

Use of Financial Metrics
Our MD&A includes financial metrics, such as RV, marine and MH content per unit, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance. Content per unit metrics are generally calculated using our market sales divided by third-party measures of industry volume. These metrics should not be considered alternatives to U.S. GAAP. Our computations of content per unit may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These metrics should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
The Company's reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, are based on its method of internal reporting. The Company regularly evaluates the performance of the Manufacturing and Distribution segments and allocates resources to them based on a variety of indicators including sales and operating income. The Company does not measure profitability at the customer market (RV, marine, MH and industrial) level.

This segment accounted for approximately 71% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the thirdfirst quarter of 20202021 and 2019, and 70% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019.2020. The sales increase in the thirdfirst quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 was attributed to sales increases in all four of the Company' end markets: RV increased 45%, marine increased 75%, MH increased 24% and industrial increased 15%. Net sales in the first quarter of 2021 attributable to acquisitions completed in that quarter were approximately $4.8 million, and net sales in the first quarter of 2020 largely reflected sales increasesattributable to acquisitions completed in the RV, marine, and industrial markets compared to the prior year quarter. The sales decrease for the first nine months of 2020 was primarily attributed to sales decreases in our primary end markets as a result of business disruptions and lost production and shipping days due to the COVID-19 pandemic that occurred primarily in the second quarter of 2020.

Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities are one of the Company's primary sources of liquidity, representing the net income the Company earned in the reported periods, adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $9.2increased $37.1 million to $112.8$50.3 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 20202021 from $122.0$13.2 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 20192020. The increase is primarily dueattributable to (i) a decrease of$26.3 million increase in net income, of $10.4(ii) a $5.3 million due to disruptions in our end markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) an increase in the use of cash from working capital of $4.8 million and (iii) a decrease of deferred income tax liabilities of $3.3 million. These decreases in operating cash flows were partially offset by an increase of depreciation and amortization of $6.5and (iii) $4.6 million and other items of $2.8 million.less deployed into working capital as compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources
TheAt March 28, 2021, the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under its credit facility are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on its current cash flow budgets and forecast of short-term and long-term liquidity needs. See Note 17 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of changes to our debt arrangements subsequent to March 28, 2021.
TheAt March 28, 2021, the Company's senior credit facility consistsconsisted of a $550 million senior secured revolver and a $100 million senior secured term loan. The maturity date for borrowings under the credit agreement that established the credit facility iswas September 17, 2024. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, and obtaining incremental commitments from its lenders, the Company may be able to increase the borrowing capacity of the credit facility by up to $250 million. Borrowings under the senior credit facility arewere secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and any domestic subsidiary guarantors. Pursuant to the credit agreement:

The term loan is due in consecutive quarterly installments in the following amounts: (i) through and including June 30, 2021, $1,250,000 and (ii) beginning September 30, 2021, and each quarter thereafter, $2,500,000, with the remaining balance due at maturity;

The interest rates for borrowings under the revolver and the term loan are the Prime Rate or LIBOR
plus a margin, which ranges from 0.00% to 0.75% for Prime Rate loans and from 1.00% to 1.75% for LIBOR
loans depending on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. The Company is required to pay fees on unused but committed portions of the revolver, which range from 0.15% to 0.225%.

On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. We expect that widespread use of LIBOR as a reference borrowing rate will transition to alternative interest rates in the near future. Since interest rates on loans made under our credit facility may be based on LIBOR based loans, the phasing out of LIBOR may adversely affect interest rates under our credit facility and result in higher borrowing costs. The Company is currently evaluating its options under our credit facility, but at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our financial statements from the phasing out of LIBOR.

At September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, the Company had $410.3$296.8 million of unused borrowing availability under its senior credit facility. The ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the credit facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the credit agreement.

As of and for the September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 reporting date, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as required under the terms of its credit agreement. The required maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and the required minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as such ratios are defined in the credit agreement, compared to the actual amounts as of September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 and for the fiscal period then ended are as follows:  
 RequiredActual
Maximum consolidated total leverage ratio (12-month period)4.00 2.24 
Minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (12-month period)1.50 5.76 

 RequiredActual
Consolidated total leverage ratio (12-month period)4.00 2.30 
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (12-month period)1.50 5.84 
Working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily related to the RV, MH and marine industries as well as the industrial markets we serve, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of customers. In the event that operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of the Company's capital resources were to become unavailable, the Company would seek to revise its operating strategies accordingly. The Company will continue to assess its liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.
On April 20, 2021, we completed the issuance of $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2029 in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The notes, which were priced at par, carry an interest rate of 4.75%. Following the completion of the offering, the Company amended and restated the credit agreement governing its existing $650 million senior secured credit facility to establish a new $700 million senior secured credit facility consisting of a $550 million revolving credit facility and a $150 million term loan facility. The maturity date for borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility was extended to April 2026. The new senior secured credit facility replaced the Company’s previously existing credit facility that
26


was due to mature in September 2024. In addition to being used to repay a portion of existing borrowings, the net proceeds resulting from these transactions were used for general corporate purposes, including in connection with the acquisitions completed subsequent to the end of the first quarter, and will support the Company's strategic objectives and other general business needs.

OTHER
Seasonality
OperationsManufacturing operations in the RV, marine and MH industries historically have been seasonal and at their highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits had generally been the highest in the thirdsecond quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers in the August/September timeframe as well as marine open houses in the January/February timeframe, resulting in dealers delaying certain restocking purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. In addition, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years due to the impact of national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, timing of dealer orders, fluctuations in dealer inventories, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer buying patterns, and from time to time, the impact of severe weather conditions on the timing of industry-wide wholesale shipments.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated all subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date of issuance of the Form 10-Q that required recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
See Note 17 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of events occurring after March 28, 2021 until the filing date of this Form 10-Q.
INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company makes forward-looking statements with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for the common stock of Patrick Industries, Inc. and other matters from time to time and desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” which is afforded such statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 when they are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The statements contained in the foregoing “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, as well as other statements contained in this quarterly report and statements contained in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), publicly disseminated press releases, quarterly earnings conference calls, and statements which may be made from time to time in the future by management of the Company in presentations to shareholders, prospective investors, and others interested in the business and financial affairs of the Company, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Any projections of financial performance or statements concerning expectations as to future developments should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results or developments will, in fact, occur. There can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly different from that set forth in such forward-looking statement. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Information about certain risks that could affect our
27


business and cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements are contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, and in the Company's Forms 10-Q for subsequent quarterly periods, which are filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Debt Obligations under Credit Agreement
At September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, our total debt obligations under our credit agreement were under LIBOR-based interest rates. A 100-basis point increase in the underlying LIBOR and prime rates would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $0.3$1.4 million, assuming average borrowings, including our term loan, subject to variable rates of $30.0$140.5 million, which was the amount of such borrowings outstanding at September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 subject to variable rates. The $30.0$140.5 million excludes deferred financing costs related to the term loan and $200.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the revolver and term loan that are hedged at a fixed interest rate through interest rate swaps.
Commodity Price Volatility
The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, particleboard, aluminum, softwoods lumber, and petroleum-based products, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, such as the price of oil, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile and continued to fluctuate in the third quarter and first ninethree months of 2020.2021. During periods of volatile commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass both price increases and decreases to our customers in the form of price adjustments. We are exposed to risks during periods of commodity volatility because there can be no assurance that future cost increases or decreases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price
31


increases or decreases will match raw material cost increases or decreases. We do not believe that commodity price volatility had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and the Company’s management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, requiredrequired to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Items 1, 3, 4 and 5 of Part II are not applicable and have been omitted.


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In August 2019, a group of companies calling itself the Lusher Site Remediation Group (the “Group”) commenced litigation against the Company in Lusher Site Remediation Group v. Sturgis Iron & Metal Co., Inc., et al., Case Number 3:18-cv-00506, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. The Group’s Second Amended Complaint, which was the first to assert claims against Patrick, asserted claims under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq., an Indiana state environmental statute and Indiana common law. One defendant in the case, Sturgis Iron & Metal Co., Inc. (“Sturgis”) subsequently filed two cross claims against Patrick, asserting against the Company a claim for (i) contribution under CERCLA and (ii) contractual indemnity. The Company moved to dismiss the Group’s claims and also moved to dismiss Sturgis’s cross claims. On August 21, 2020, the court granted Patrick’s two motions to dismiss. The Group subsequently moved for reconsideration of the court’s decision. That reconsideration motion is still pending. The Company does not currently believe that this matter is likely to have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, any litigation is inherently uncertain, and any judgment or injunctive relief entered against us or any adverse settlement could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
“Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K includes a discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Except as presented below, thereThere have been no material changes from the risk factors describedpreviously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The global spread of the COVID-19 virus and measures implemented to combat it have had, and are expected to continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business.

The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in recent months has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. The impact of this pandemic has created significant uncertainty in the global economy and has had, and is expected to continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, employees, suppliers, and customers. The duration and magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be precisely estimated at this time, as each is affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and potential future pandemic outbreaks, we face significant risks including, but not limited to:

Decreases in consumer confidence and disposable income and increases in unemployment could reduce demand for our products by our customers in all of our end markets.
Tightening credit standards could negatively impact credit availability to consumers which could have an adverse effect on all of our end markets.
Supply chain and shipping interruptions and constraints, volatility in demand for our products caused by sudden and significant changes in production levels by our customers or other restrictions affecting our business could adversely impact our planning and forecasting, our revenues and our operations.
Disruptions in our manufacturing and supply arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential manufacturing and supply elements such as raw materials or other finished product components, transportation, workforce, or other manufacturing and distribution capabilities could result in our inability to meet our end market customer needs and achieve cost targets.
Significant changes in the conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell or distribute our products, including additional or expanded quarantines or "stay at home" orders, governmental or regulatory actions,
33


closures or other restrictions that further limit or close our operating and manufacturing facilities, restrict our employees’ ability to travel or perform necessary business functions, restrict or prevent consumers from having access to our products, or otherwise prevent our suppliers or customers from sufficiently staffing operations, could adversely impact operations necessary for the production, distribution, sale, and support of our products.
Failure of third parties on which we rely, including our customers, suppliers, distributors, commercial banks, and other external business partners, to meet their obligations to the Company or to timely meet those obligations, or significant disruptions in their ability to do so, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties, may adversely impact our operations.
Certain of our customers may experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy or insolvency, as a result of the impact of COVID-19. If any of our customers suffer significant financial difficulties, they may be unable to pay amounts due to us fully, partially, or timely. Further, we may have to negotiate significant discounts and/or extended financing terms with these customers in such a situation. If we are unable to collect our accounts receivable as they come due, there may be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we are unable to maintain normal operations, or subsequently are unable to resume normal operations in a timely fashion, our cash flows could be adversely affected, making it difficult to maintain adequate liquidity or meet debt covenants. As a result, the Company may be required to pursue additional sources of financing to meet our financial obligations and fund our operations and obtaining such financing is not guaranteed and is largely dependent upon market conditions and other factors.
Disruptions to our operations related to COVID-19 as a result of absenteeism by infected or ill members of management or other employees, or absenteeism by members of management and other employees who elect not to come to work due to the illness affecting others at our facilities, or due to quarantines.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to and could continue to lead to severe disruption and volatility in the United States and global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. In addition, trading prices in the public equity markets, including prices of our common stock, have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sustained adverse impacts to the Company, certain suppliers, and customers may also affect the Company’s future valuation of certain assets and therefore may increase the likelihood of an impairment charge, write-off, or reserve associated with such assets, including goodwill, indefinite and finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, tax assets, and other assets.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted and is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the length of its impact on the global economy, as well as any new information that may emerge concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken to contain it or mitigate its impact. The continued impact on our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, prospects and the trading prices of our securities in the near-term and beyond 2020.
