LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
I am pleased to report that 2014 was another year of solid performance for Patrick and the industries we serve as
we continued to execute on our strategic and capital allocation initiatives, which resulted in the fifth consecutive year of
revenue and earnings per share growth. Additionally, we were able to continue to expand our presence and market
share in our core markets - recreational vehicle (“RV”), manufactured housing (“MH”) and industrial markets - and we
realized continued financial and operational improvement from the implementation of our strategic growth plan
designed to propel the organization through the next phase of its financial and organizational development cycle.
From a financial perspective, we achieved revenues of $736 million in 2014, a 24% increase over 2013, and our
net income was $30.7 million or $2.87 per diluted share in 2014, an increase of approximately 28% and 29%,
respectively, over 2013. These results are a reflection of the efforts and dedication of over 3,000 team members whose
commitment to a ‘Customer lst’ performance-oriented culture and approach has positioned Patrick to be a leading
supplier of a vast array of building and component products to our markets. Solid long-term strategic, operating, and
financial performance, combined with expense discipline and the ability to leverage our fixed-cost structure to drive
solid cash flows, has enabled us to re-invest in our organization and talent base and has positioned us to best serve our
clients.
From an economic perspective, fiscal 2014 was a continuation of solid growth in the RV market spurred by
favorable demographic trends and improving consumer confidence levels, resulting in growth in both towable and
motorized unit shipments. Wholesale unit shipment levels in the RV industry, which represented approximately 74% of
our 2014 sales, increased 11% in 2014, the fifth consecutive year of growth, and the highest level of industry shipments
since 2006. The MH industry, which represented approximately 15% of our sales in 2014, continued to reflect modest
improvement with wholesale unit shipment growth of approximately 7% compared to 2013, a rate generally consistent
with recent years. The MH industry, however, continued to be impacted by the lack of financing alternatives and credit
availability, slow job growth, and in certain geographic areas, excess residential housing inventories. The industrial
sector of our business, which represented approximately 11% of our 2014 sales and is primarily tied to the residential
housing and commercial and retail fixtures markets, benefited from positive momentum in residential housing as new
housing starts increased by 9% compared to 2013.
We continue to invest in Patrick’s future through innovation, targeted acquisitions, and the ongoing development
of our workforce. Innovative product development has always been a key driver of our growth. Equally important to
our growth plan are our strategic acquisitions that either increase our scale in existing markets or open the door to new
markets within our geographical footprint. In 2014, Patrick continued to capture market share through its new product
initiatives, line extensions, and strategic acquisitions, which resulted in our 2014 sales growth outperforming general
industry results. On the product side of the business, we continued to enhance our product offerings to our RV, MH and
industrial markets customers through the introduction of over 60 new and expanded product lines and line extensions.
In the period from 2010 through 2014, we completed a total of 16 acquisitions comprising 19 different entities
with approximately $300 million of annualized revenues in the aggregate. We maintain a disciplined approach, looking
to pay a fair price for both long-term earnings and strategic value, and key objectives have been, and continue to be, to
identify companies that expand our already strong product portfolio and design capabilities, and our market presence.
While our acquisition strategy has increased the depth of our relationships with our current customer base, it has also
broadened our reach to include new customers, additional product offerings, and further opportunities for the continued
growth of our business. Our integration objectives include leveraging our administrative, purchasing, manufacturing,
sales, and systems resources to optimize the creative and innovative expertise of each new business and management
team.
In 2014, we explored and evaluated 17 acquisition candidates with annualized revenues ranging in scale from
approximately $2 million to over $270 million, and executed on four consolidated operations comprised of seven
different individual companies. Overall, we invested approximately $72 million in the acquisition of new businesses
including Precision Painting, Inc., Carrera Custom Painting, Inc., Millennium Paint, Inc. and TDM Transport, Inc.
(collectively referred to as “Precision Painting Group”), Foremost Fabricators, LLC (“Foremost”), PolyDyn3, LLC
(“PolyDyn3”) and Charleston Corporation (“Charleston”). The acquisition of the Precision Painting Group provided the
opportunity for us to establish our presence in the RV exterior, full-body painting market. The acquisition of Foremost
established a presence in the laminated and fabricated roll formed aluminum products market, and the acquisition of
PolyDyn3 was our entry into the simulated wood and stone product market. The acquisition of Charleston in late 2014,
together with our most recent acquisition of Better Way Partners, LLC (“Better Way”) in February 2015, added to our
core RV product portfolio while expanding our expertise in the fiberglass and plastics components markets and in the
marine and transit industries. The acquisitions completed in 2014 had annualized projected revenues of approximately
$126 million, of which about $56 million was included in our full year 2014 operating results. The acquisition of Better
Way in February 2015 is expected to provide annualized revenues in excess of $50 million.
Strategic capital deployment is a top priority and we continue to manage our capital allocation year to year with a
focus on strategic growth that is balanced with maintaining appropriate debt levels. In the five year period from 2010 to
2014, while we spent approximately $132 million on acquisitions, $27 million on capital expenditures and $20 million
on share repurchases, we have been able to leverage our cost structure and drive cash flows resulting in our total debt
increasing by only $59 million, with our leverage position remaining well within our comfort levels.
On the capital expenditures side, we reinvested approximately $7 million in 2014 in several projects including the
strategic replacement and upgrading of production equipment to enhance our manufacturing operations and the ongoing
replacement of our Company-wide enterprise resource planning system.
As we explore new markets and industries, we believe that our core competencies and focus on executing on our
strategic growth plan in conjunction with our capital allocation strategy provide us with a strong foundation for future
growth which will continue to create and drive new opportunities for both Patrick and our team members. We will
continue to use a balanced approach of utilizing and maintaining an appropriate level of leverage to invest in the organic
growth of our business, strategic acquisitions, operational efficiency, and repurchases of the Company’s stock. We see
2015 as another year of financial progress as we capitalize on the strong RV market, stay well positioned to respond to
improvement in the MH market, and continue to expand our opportunities in the industrial space. Additionally, with the
acquisitions of Charleston and Better Way, we now have the start of a solid presence in the marine market, which we
expect to both focus and capitalize on, and drive both additional organic and strategic growth. We anticipate continued
confidence and growth in these industries in 2015, barring any global, political, or other factors that may negatively
impact consumer confidence for an extended period of time.
I believe that today the future is as bright as it has ever been for Patrick, its team members, and its future
opportunities. I am energized as I look out into the long term especially given our operational platform, positive
demographics and upside potential in all of our markets, and the exceptional players that we have at the Company today
with both our senior level and seasoned talent, and with regards to our next generation talent who reflect the energy,
drive, passion, commitment, and humility to continue to drive the Company to achieve results at the highest level.
The growth we achieved in 2014 would not have been possible without the continued support of our customers,
whom we are privileged to serve, the continued hard work, drive, passion, dedication, and servant leadership of each of
our Patrick team members, our shareholders, including our major shareholder, Tontine Capital Partners and affiliates,
and our Board of Directors. Additionally, I would like to thank all of our suppliers and banking partners for the trust
and faith they have placed in the Patrick team. We are confident in our abilities to supply innovative, quality products
to the markets we serve and deliver exceptional customer service, as well as our ever increasing drive to satisfy our
customers’ needs at the highest level, and ultimately enhance shareholder value in 2015 and beyond. I strongly believe
our Company is well positioned for long-term growth and look forward to capitalizing on the opportunities that come
our way in partnership with our customers, team members, business partners, and friends in 2015.

INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies,
operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, industry growth and projections, growth opportunities for
existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for the common stock of Patrick Industries, Inc.
(collectively, the “Company,” “we,”, “our” or “Patrick”) and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-K as well as
other statements contained in the annual report and statements contained in future filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and publicly disseminated press releases, 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. Patrick does not undertake to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. You should consider forward-looking statements,
therefore, in light of various important factors, including those set forth in the reports and documents that the
Company files with the SEC, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which could cause actual
results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Many of these
factors are identified in the “Risk Factors” section of this Form 10-K as set forth in Part I, Item 1A. These factors
include, without limitation, the impact of any economic downturns especially in the residential housing market, a
decline in consumer confidence levels, pricing pressures due to competition, costs and availability of raw materials,
availability of commercial credit, availability of retail and wholesale financing for residential and manufactured
homes, availability and costs of labor, inventory levels of retailers and manufacturers, levels of repossessed
residential and manufactured homes, the financial condition of our customers, retention and concentration of
significant customers, the ability to generate cash flow or obtain financing to fund growth, future growth rates in
the Company's core businesses, the seasonality and cyclicality in the industries to which our products are sold, the
ability to effectively manage the costs and the implementation of the new enterprise resource management
system, the successful integration of acquisitions, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, adverse weather
conditions impacting retail sales, and our ability to remain in compliance with our credit agreement covenants. In
addition, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence may affect the retail sale of
recreational vehicles and residential and manufactured homes.
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. See Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” below for
further discussion.
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
Company Overview
PART I
Patrick Industries, Inc., which was founded in 1959 and incorporated in Indiana in 1961, is a major manufacturer of
component products and distributor of building products and materials for the recreational vehicle (“RV”) and
manufactured housing (“MH”) industries. In addition, we are a supplier to certain other industrial markets, such as
kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, marine, and other industrial
markets. We manufacture a variety of products including decorative vinyl and paper laminated panels, fabricated
aluminum products, wrapped vinyl, paper and hardwood profile mouldings, solid surface, granite and quartz
countertops, cabinet doors and components, hardwood furniture, fiberglass bath and shower fixtures, fiberglass
and plastic component products including front and rear caps and marine helms, slide-out trim and fascia, interior
passage doors, exterior graphics and RV painting, simulated wood and stone products, and slotwall panels and
components, among others.
3
We are also an independent wholesale distributor of pre-finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall
finishing products, electronics, wiring, electrical, and plumbing products, cement siding, fiber reinforced polyester
(“FRP”) products, interior passage doors, roofing products, laminate and ceramic flooring, shower doors, furniture,
fireplaces and surrounds, interior and exterior lighting products, and other miscellaneous products. We have a
nationwide network of manufacturing and distribution centers for our products, thereby reducing in-transit
delivery time and cost to the regional manufacturing plants of our customers. We believe that we are one of the
few suppliers to the RV and MH industries that has such a nationwide network. We maintain 25 manufacturing
plants and nine distribution facilities near our principal offices in Elkhart, Indiana, and operate seven other
warehouse and distribution centers and seven other manufacturing plants in nine other states.
Approximately 84% and 91% of our consolidated net sales in 2014 and 2013, respectively, were decorative interior
products and components, consisting primarily of manufactured panels, mouldings and trim, hardwood and
pressed doors, furniture and fascia, countertops, and fiberglass products. We have no material patents, licenses,
franchises, or concessions and do not conduct significant research and development activities.
Over the past several years, we have executed on a number of strategic initiatives including: the completion of 17
acquisitions and the introduction of over 260 new products and product line extensions (2010 through February
2015), the implementation of a branding strategy, increasing our market share, deleveraging our balance sheet,
investing in property, plant and equipment, operational restructuring at certain manufacturing and distribution
facilities, disposition of underperforming operations and facilities, aggressive management of inventory levels to
changes in sales levels, and amending and refinancing our credit facility to provide continued capacity to execute
on our strategic plan. The combination of improving economic conditions, particularly in the RV industry, and the
execution of the strategic initiatives identified above, among others, resulted in our sales, operating income, net
income and cash flows improving significantly in the four years ended December 31, 2014. In the Executive
Summary section of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations,” we provide an overview of the impact that macroeconomic conditions had on our operations and in
the RV, MH and industrial markets in 2014.
We have continued to expand the breadth and the depth of our products and services through the integration of
new and innovative product lines designed to bring value to our customers and create additional scale advantages.
See “Strategic Acquisitions and Expansion” below and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of
this report for further details.
Patrick had two reportable operating segments in 2014, Manufacturing and Distribution. Financial information
about these operating segments is included in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and incorporated
herein by reference.
Competitive Position
The RV and MH industries are highly competitive with low barriers to entry, which carries through to the suppliers
to these industries. Across the Company’s range of products and services, competition exists primarily on price,
product features, quality, and service. Several competitors compete in each product line with us on a regional and
local basis. However, in order for a competitor to compete with us on a national basis, we believe that a
substantial capital commitment and investment in personnel and facilities would be required. The industrial
markets that we serve are also highly competitive.
Given the environment in the industries in which we operate, the Company has identified several operating
strategies to maintain or enhance earnings through strategic acquisitions, productivity initiatives, expansion into
new product lines, and optimization of capacity utilization.
Strategy
Overview
We believe that we have developed strong working relationships with our customers and suppliers, and have
oriented our business to their needs. Our customers include all of the larger RV and MH manufacturers and a
4
number of large to medium-sized industrial customers. The majority of our industrial customers are generally
directly linked to the residential housing markets. Our RV and MH customers generally demand competitive
prices, high quality standards, short lead times, and a high degree of flexibility from their suppliers. Our industrial
customers generally are less price sensitive than our RV and MH customers, and are focused on consistent high
quality products, exceptional customer service, and quick response time.
Our capital allocation strategy includes a balance of managing and utilizing our resources and leverage position to
continue to grow and invest in the business model through strategic acquisitions, investment in infrastructure and
capital expenditures to ensure both capacity and technology to support anticipated growth needs, and stock
repurchases, among others. Additionally, because of the short lead times, which can include same day order,
receipt and delivery, we continue to focus on managing our inventory levels to achieve a balance between
increasing inventory turns and ensuring we have product on hand to meet customer demand levels.
As we explore new markets and industries, we believe that our core competencies and focus on executing on our
strategic plan provide us with a strong foundation for future growth. In 2014, approximately 74% of our net sales
were to the RV industry, 15% to the MH industry, and 11% to the industrial markets. In 2013, approximately 72%
of our net sales were to the RV industry, 16% to the MH industry, and 12% to the industrial markets. The increase
in wholesale unit shipments in the RV market relative to the other primary market sectors in which Patrick
operates, the introduction of new products to the marketplace, and the impact of the acquisitions completed in
the last five years, have led to an increase in our RV market sales concentration through 2014 when compared to
prior periods.
Operating Strategies
Key operating strategies identified by management include the following:
Strategic Acquisitions and Expansion
We supply a broad variety of building materials and component products to the RV, MH and industrial markets.
With our nationwide manufacturing and distribution capabilities and capacities, we believe that we are well
positioned for continued market improvement in all industry sectors and the introduction of new products to
further bring value to our customer base. In order to facilitate this initiative, we are focused on driving growth in
all three of our primary markets through the acquisition of companies with strong management teams with a
strategic fit to our core values, business model and customer presence, as well as additional product lines,
facilities, or other assets to complement or expand our existing businesses. We believe there continues to be
acquisition opportunities in all three primary markets that we serve.
From 2010 to 2012, we invested approximately $43 million, in the aggregate, to complete a total of nine
acquisitions, which directly complemented our core competencies and product lines.
In 2013, we invested approximately $17 million to complete three acquisitions: Frontline Mfg., Inc. (“Frontline”), a
manufacturer of fiberglass bath fixtures, including tubs, showers and combination tub/shower units for the RV, MH
and residential housing markets; Premier Concepts, Inc. (“Premier”), a custom fabricator of solid surface, granite,
and quartz countertops for the RV, MH and residential housing markets; and John H. McDonald Co., Inc. d/b/a
West Side Furniture (“West Side”), a wholesale supplier of La-Z-Boy® recliners and the Serta® Trump Home™
mattress line, among other furniture products, to the RV market.
In 2014, we invested approximately $72 million to complete four acquisitions: Precision Painting, Inc., Carrera
Custom Painting, Inc., and Millennium Paint, Inc., three related full service exterior full body painting operations
that offer exterior painting and interior refurbishing for both OEMs and existing RV and fleet owners, and TDM
Transport, Inc., a transportation operation that services their in-house customers (collectively referred to as
“Precision Painting Group” or “Precision”); Foremost Fabricators, LLC (“Foremost”), a fabricator and distributor of
fabricated aluminum products, FRP sheet and coil, and custom laminated products primarily used in the RV
market; PolyDyn3, LLC (“PolyDyn3”), a custom fabricator of simulated wood and stone products for the RV market;
and Charleston Corporation (“Charleston”), a manufacturer of fiberglass and plastic components primarily used in
the RV, marine, and vehicle aftermarket industries. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
5
In February 2015, we invested approximately $40 million to acquire Better Way Partners, LLC d/b/a Better Way
Products (“Better Way”), a manufacturer of fiberglass front and rear caps, marine helms and related fiberglass
components.
Diversification into Other Markets
While we continually seek to improve our position as a leading supplier to the RV and MH industries, we are also
seeking to expand our product lines into other industrial, commercial, and institutional markets. Many of our
products, such as countertops, hardwood and pressed cabinet doors, laminated panels and mouldings, drawer
sides and fronts, slotwall, and shelving, have applications in the kitchen cabinet, retail fixtures, household
furniture, and architectural markets. We have a dedicated sales force focused on increasing our industrial market
penetration and on our diversification into additional commercial and institutional markets.
We believe that diversification into other industrial markets provides opportunities for improved operating
margins with complementary products that increase our capacity utilization. In addition, we believe that our
nationwide manufacturing and distribution capabilities have enabled us to be well positioned for new product
expansion.
Additionally, we may explore strategic acquisition opportunities that are not directly tied to the three primary
markets we serve in order to further leverage our core competencies in manufacturing and distribution and to
diversify our end market exposure and presence.
Utilization of Manufacturing Capacity
Efficiency Optimization
We have the ability to increase revenues in all of our existing facilities without adding comparable incremental
fixed costs. If economic conditions in certain parts of the country warrant, we will explore opportunities for
further facility consolidation. However, we have remained committed to certain geographic areas, specifically
where there is a larger concentration of MH manufacturers but where our revenues and profitability have been
constrained in recent years. Additionally, we are focused on cross-training all of our manufacturing work force in
our manufacturing cells within each facility to maximize our efficiencies and increase the flexibility of our labor
force.
Plant Consolidations / Closures and Plant Expansion
Certain manufacturing and distribution operating facilities were either consolidated or expanded during 2013 and
2014 in an effort to continue to improve operating efficiencies in the plants through increased capacity utilization.
In 2013, we purchased one of our distribution facilities that we had previously been leasing from an unrelated
third party and leased additional facilities to accommodate larger inventory levels and growth in our
manufacturing and distribution businesses. In 2014, we closed our leased distribution facility in Madisonville,
Tennessee and consolidated the business into the existing Mt. Joy, Pennsylvania and Decatur, Alabama distribution
facilities that engage in similar activities.
Product Development and New Product Introductions/Discontinuations
With our versatile manufacturing and distribution capabilities, we are continually striving to increase our presence
in all of the markets that we serve and gain entrance into other markets. We remain committed to new product
introduction and development initiatives. New product development is a key component of our strategy to grow
our market share and revenue base, keep up with changing market conditions, and proactively address customer
demand. We have a design center featuring our major product lines and a specialized design team that works
exclusively with RV and MH manufacturers to meet their creative design and product needs including creating new
styles and utilizing new colors, patterns, products, and wood types for panels and mouldings, cabinet doors,
furniture, lighting and other products. We will continue to focus our time and attention to manufacturing and
distributing products that fit within the strategic parameters of our current business model, including appropriate
margin and inventory turn levels.

In addition to the new product offerings stemming from acquisitions, we further enhanced our product offerings to
our customers in the RV, MH, and industrial markets through the introduction of several new products and the
expansion of our existing product lines in 2014 including, on the manufacturing side, several new cabinet door
styles, upgraded cabinetry and countertops, new slide-out trim, new styles of interior passage doors for RVs,
pressed countertops, lighting packages, backsplashes and exterior graphics and paint. Our distribution line of
products was expanded to include new faucets modeled after the residential market, residential furniture,
televisions and sound bars, ceramic tile, flat-pack cabinets, power cords, flooring options and various building
products.
Branding
In conjunction with our acquisition strategy, we continue to focus our efforts on providing specific product
knowledge, expertise and support to our customers through a branding strategy which includes product managers
for each of our key product lines, support staff, and strategic supplier relationships which allows us to partner with
them as a supplier of choice to drive efficiency and maximize value by providing the expertise and product support
in the products that we sell. Our primary product brands include Adorn, Custom Vinyls, Patrick Distribution, AIA
Countertops, Quest Audio Video, Interior Components Plus, Gravure Ink, Praxis Group, Infinity Graphics, Décor
Manufacturing, Gustafson Lighting, Creative Wood Designs, Middlebury Hardwood Products, Frontline
Manufacturing, Premier Concepts, West Side Furniture, Precision Painting, Carrera Custom Painting, Millennium
Paint, Foremost Fabricators, PolyDyn3, Charleston and Better Way Products. In addition, our industrial markets
sector cross sells existing product lines and launches new products that are targeted to serve unique, consumer-
driven channels under the Decorative Dynamics brand name.
Manufacturing Processes and Operations
Our lamination facilities utilize various materials such as lauan, medium-density fiberboard (“MDF”), gypsum, and
particleboard, which are bonded by adhesives or a heating process to a number of products, including vinyl, paper,
foil, and high-pressure laminates. Additionally, we offer high-pressure laminate bonded primarily to particleboard,
which has many uses, including countertops, cabinetry, and office furniture, among others. We manufacture and
fabricate solid surface, granite, quartz, and high-pressure laminate countertops for all of our primary markets, as
well as slotwall panels and components for the retail store fixture markets. Roll-laminated products are used in
the production of wall, cabinet, shelving, counter, and fixture products with a wide variety of finishes and textures.
In conjunction with our manufacturing capabilities, we also provide value added processes, including custom
fabrication, edge-banding, drilling, boring, and cut-to-size capabilities. We also manufacture various fiberglass
bath and shower surrounds and fixtures.
We manufacture three distinct cabinet door product lines in both raised and flat panel designs, as well as square,
shaker style, cathedral and arched panels. Our primary cabinet door product line is manufactured from raw
lumber using solid oak, maple, cherry and other hardwood materials, and comes in a variety of finishes and glazes.
Another line of doors is made of laminated fiberboard, and a third line uses membrane press technology to
produce doors and components with vinyls of various thicknesses. Doors are also made with a number of outside
decorative components such as rosettes, hardwood moulding, arched window trim, blocks and windowsills, among
others. Our doors are sold mainly to the RV and MH industries. We also market to the cabinet manufacturers and
“ready-to-assemble” furniture manufacturers.
Our vinyl printing facility produces a wide variety of decorative and textured vinyls, which are generally 50” in
width and 3.2 mil nominal thickness, and are shipped in rolls ranging from 300-800 yards in length. This facility
produces material both for sale to external customers and for internal use.
In 2014, we expanded our stable of products to the markets we serve with the acquisition of three related exterior
full body painting operations (the Precision Group), a fabricator and distributor of fabricated aluminum and FRP
products (Foremost), a custom fabricator of simulated wood and stone products (PolyDyn3), and a manufacturer
of fiberglass and plastic components (Charleston). In February 2015, we acquired the operations of Better Way, a
custom fiberglass fabricator for the RV, marine and transit vehicle markets.

Markets
We are engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of building products and material for use primarily by the
RV and MH industries, and in other industrial markets. We continue to capture market share through our strategic
acquisitions and new product initiatives, which have resulted in sales levels growing at a rate in excess of the
general industry over the last five years.
Over the past five years, industry conditions in the RV industry have continued to improve as evidenced by higher
production levels and wholesale unit shipments versus the prior year periods. We believe that industry-wide retail
sales and the related production levels of RVs will be dependent on the overall strength of the economy, consumer
confidence levels, conditions in the credit markets, and other demographic trends. Recreational vehicle purchases
are generally consumer discretionary income purchases, and therefore, any situation which causes concerns
related to discretionary income can have a negative impact on this market.
The MH industry, which has improved marginally in recent years, continues to be negatively impacted by the lack
of financing alternatives and credit availability, and in certain areas, excess residential housing inventories.
Financing concerns and the current credit situation in the residential housing market have put additional pressure
on potential purchasers of manufactured homes, many of whom use conventional mortgage financing as a source
of funding for purchases. While there is still overhang related to the overall economic environment and other
conditions mentioned above, we believe that there is upside potential and limited risk as it relates to residential
housing growth based on pent up demand, job growth, the availability of credit, and affordable interest rates. On
average over the last 40 years, approximately three-fourths of total residential housing starts have been single-
family housing starts. In addition, wholesale unit shipment levels in the MH industry have averaged approximately
9% to 11% of the level of single-family housing starts over the last 10 years.
Approximately 56% of our industrial revenue base in 2014 was associated with the U.S. residential housing market,
and therefore, there is a direct correlation between the demand for our products in this market and new
residential housing construction and remodeling activities.
In order to offset some of the impacts of the weakness in the residential housing market over the last several
years, we have focused on diversification, strategic acquisitions, and bringing new and innovative products to the
market. In addition, we have targeted certain sales efforts towards market segments that are less directly tied to
residential new home construction, including the retail fixture, furniture, and countertop markets. As a result, we
have seen a shift in our product mix, which has had a positive impact on revenues from the industrial markets.
Additionally, we have gained market share and expanded into new geographic territories as a result of investment
in new team members with significant product knowledge, relationships, and expertise in the commercial markets.
Recreational Vehicles
The RV industry has been characterized by cycles of growth and contraction in consumer demand, reflecting
prevailing general economic conditions, which affect disposable income for leisure time activities. The deeper
cycles have been tied to major economic and world events including the Gulf War, the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks, and the “Great Recession” of 2007-2009. We believe that consumer confidence, the level of
disposable income, equity securities market trends, and significant fluctuations in interest rates have an impact on
RV sales. Over the past several years, however, we believe there has been a level of resilience in the RV
marketplace, where RV buyers appear to have prioritized the purchase of a unit over other discretionary items in
an effort to pursue their desired “RV lifestyle”. While concerns about the availability and price of gasoline can
have an impact on RV demand, market trends also indicate that the average RV owner travels less distance but
with similar frequency during periods of higher gas prices and less availability. Periods of lower gasoline prices can
have a positive impact on RV retail purchases, however extended periods of lower fuel prices followed by a sudden
increase in prices could have a negative impact on retail RV purchases in the short term while the market adjusts.
Demographic and ownership trends continue to point to favorable market growth in the long-term, both as the
number of “baby-boomers” reaching retirement is steadily increasing, and as the RV owning population in the 35-
54 year old demographic continues to grow. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there are expected to be
approximately 10,000 “baby-boomers” reaching age 65 every day through 2029. Additionally, products such as
8
sports-utility RVs and “toy haulers,” with a rear section to store and transport motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs,
sand rails, and other leisure products, are attractive to younger buyers, and RV manufacturers are also providing
an array of product choices, including producing lightweight towables and smaller fuel efficient motorhomes.
Green technologies, such as lightweight composite materials, solar panels, and energy-efficient components are
also options that can be added to an RV.
Recreational vehicle classifications are based upon standards established by the Recreational Vehicle Industry
Association (“RVIA”). The principal types of recreational vehicles include: (1) Towables: conventional travel
trailers, folding camping trailers, fifth wheel trailers, and truck campers which are lighter and less expensive than
standard gas or diesel powered motorized units, representing a more attractive solution for the cost-conscious
buyer; and (2) Motorized: motor homes. Both towable and motorized RV units are distinct from mobile homes,
which are manufactured houses designed for permanent and semi-permanent residential dwelling. The Company
estimates that its mix of RV revenues related to towable units and motorized units is consistent with the overall RV
production mix. In both 2014 and 2013, towable and motorized unit shipments represented approximately 88%
and 12%, respectively, of total RV wholesale shipments. Towable unit shipments increased approximately 11% and
10%, respectively, while motorized unit shipments rose approximately 15% and 36% in the comparable periods.
Sales of recreational vehicle products have been cyclical in the past. In the most recent major cycle, wholesale unit
shipments in the RV industry declined from an all-time high of 390,500 units in 2006 to 165,700 units in 2009. The
RV industry began to improve in the latter half of 2009 and into 2010 with shipment levels in 2010 increasing 46%
from those in 2009. Unit shipment levels reached 321,127 units in 2013, which was the first time that shipment
levels rose above 300,000 units since 2007. In 2014, shipment levels rose 11% to 356,735 units, resulting in a
cumulative gain of approximately 115% since 2009. The RVIA is currently forecasting full year 2015 wholesale unit
shipments to increase by approximately 6% compared to the 2014 level.
The following chart reflects historical wholesale unit shipment levels in the RV industry from 2000 through 2014
per RVIA statistics:

Manufactured Housing
Manufactured homes historically have been one of the principal means for first time homebuyers to overcome the
obstacles of large down payments and higher monthly mortgage payments due to the lower cost of construction
as compared to site-built homes. Manufactured housing also provides a cost effective alternative for those
individuals and families seeking to establish home ownership or whose credit ratings have been impacted by the
economic and job environment over the past several years. In addition, manufactured homes are an attractive
option for those who have migrated to temporary and multi-family housing alternatives, an attractive entry point
9
for many first-time homebuyers and individuals and families looking to re-enter the home ownership market, or
for retirees and others desiring a lifestyle in which home ownership is less burdensome than in the case of site-
built homes.
Manufactured homes are constructed to the building standards of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (“HUD”) and are factory built and transported to a site where they are installed, often permanently.
Some manufactured homes have design limitations imposed by the constraints of efficient production and
over-the-road transit. Delivery expense limits the effective competitive shipping range of the manufactured
homes to approximately 400 to 600 miles. Modular homes, which are built in accordance with state and local
building codes, are factory built homes that are built in sections and transported to the site for installation. These
homes and many HUD code homes are generally set on a foundation and are subject to land/home-financing
terms and conditions.
The MH industry is affected by the availability, cost, and in many cases the credit requirements of alternative
housing, such as apartments, town houses, condominiums and site-built housing, including repossessed residential
housing inventory levels. From 1998 to 2009, annual industry-wide wholesale unit shipments of manufactured
homes declined 87%. The 2009 level of 49,789 wholesale units was at the lowest level in the last 50 years. From
the period of 2009-2013, MH unit shipments rose 21%. In 2014, MH unit shipments rose 7% but continued to
trend well below historical levels.
Sales growth in the MH industry continues to be limited by the lack of financing alternatives and credit availability,
and in certain geographic areas, excess residential housing inventories. While we do not anticipate significant
growth in the MH market in 2015, we believe that there is opportunity for moderate growth with limited downside
risk in the near-term, and more significant growth in the longer-term assuming improved availability of credit and
recalibration of quality credit standards.
Factors that may favorably impact production levels further in this industry include quality credit standards in the
residential housing market, favorable changes in financing regulations, higher interest rates on traditional
residential housing loans, and improved conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured
housing loans. While there is still some overhang related to the overall economic environment and other
conditions mentioned above, we believe that there is also longer term potential for this industry as residential
housing demand continues to improve. On average over the last 40 years, approximately three-fourths of total
residential housing starts have been single-family housing starts. In addition, wholesale unit shipment levels in the
MH industry have averaged approximately 9% to 11% of the level of single-family housing starts over the last 10
years.
The following chart reflects the historical wholesale unit shipment levels in the MH industry from a recent high in
2000 through 2014 per the Manufactured Housing Institute:

Other Markets
Many of our core manufacturing products, including paper/vinyl laminated panels, shelving, drawer-sides, high-
pressure laminated panels, solid surface, granite, and quartz countertops, cut to size products, and fiberglass and
plastic components are utilized in the kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial
furnishings, marine, and other industrial products markets. These markets are generally categorized by a more
performance-than-price driven customer base, and provide an opportunity for us to diversify our customer base,
while providing increased contribution to our core laminating and fabricating competencies. While the residential
furniture markets have been impacted by import pressures, there has been a renewed interest in domestically
produced products and the “Made in the USA” label. Additionally, other residential and commercial segments
have been less vulnerable to import competition, and therefore provide opportunities for increased sales
penetration and market share gains. Over the past three years, the residential housing market in particular has
shown signs of improving across the country and that trend is expected to continue in fiscal 2015 resulting in
increased demand for our products. Our sales to the industrial market generally lag new housing starts by six to
nine months and will vary based on differences in regional economic prospects. We believe that we have the
available capacity to increase industrial revenue and benefit from the diversity of multiple market segments,
unique regional economies and varied customer strategies.
Marketing and Distribution
Our sales are to RV and MH manufacturers and other industrial products manufacturers. We have over 800 active
customers. We have five customers that together accounted for approximately 67% and 66% of our consolidated
net sales in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company's RV products include consolidated sales to two major
manufacturers of RVs who each account for over 10% of consolidated net sales - Forest River, Inc. (a Berkshire
Hathaway Company) (“Forest River”) and Thor Industries, Inc. (stock symbol: THO) (“Thor”). Both Forest River and
Thor are comprised of various operating subsidiaries and brand names that operate within the parent company.
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our combined sales to the operating subsidiaries of Forest River
and Thor, on a consolidated basis, accounted for 58% and 57% of our consolidated net sales, respectively.
A majority of products for distribution are generally purchased in railcar, container, or truckload quantities,
warehoused, and then sold and delivered by us. In addition, approximately 18% and 23% of our distribution
segment’s sales were from products shipped directly from the suppliers to our customers in 2014 and 2013,
respectively. We typically experience a one to two week delay between issuing our purchase orders and the
delivery of products to our warehouses or customers. We generally keep backup supplies of various commodity
products in our warehouses to ensure that we have product on hand at all times for our distribution customers.
Our customers do not maintain long-term supply contracts, and therefore we must bear the risk of accurate
advanced estimation of customer orders. In periods of declining market conditions, customer order rates can
11
decline, resulting in less efficient logistics planning and fulfillment and thus increasing delivery costs due to
increased numbers of shipments with fewer products in each shipment. We have no significant backlog of orders.
With the acquisitions completed in 2014 and certain plant consolidations, we operate 16 warehouse and
distribution centers and 32 manufacturing operations located in Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas. By using these facilities, we are able to minimize our in-
transit delivery time and cost to the regional manufacturing plants of our customers.
Patrick does not engage in significant marketing efforts nor does it incur significant marketing or advertising
expenditures, other than attendance at certain trade shows and the activities of its sales personnel and the
maintenance of customer relationships through price, quality of its products, service and customer satisfaction. In
our design showroom located in Elkhart, Indiana, many of our manufactured and distribution products are on
display for current and potential customers, their design and purchasing staff, and other key product managers
and designers. We believe the design showroom provides additional opportunities to add value for our customers
by allowing them to experience our large range of product offerings and related style and content options that we
have available, as well as offering in-house custom design services to further differentiate our product lines. In
addition, our Company website, www.patrickind.com, has allowed us to expand our Internet presence and further
showcase our primary product brands to both existing and potential customers.
Suppliers
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we purchased approximately 52% of our raw materials and distributed
products from twenty different suppliers. The five largest suppliers accounted for approximately 28% of our total
purchases. We have terms and conditions with certain suppliers that specify exclusivity in certain areas, pricing
structures, rebate agreements and other parameters.
Raw materials are primarily commodity products, such as lauan, gypsum, particleboard, other lumber products,
resin, and overlays, among other which are available from many suppliers. We do not maintain long-term supply
agreements. Our sales in the short-term could be negatively impacted in the event any unforeseen negative
circumstances were to affect our major suppliers. We believe that we have a good relationship with all of our
suppliers. Alternate sources of supply are available for all of our material purchases.
Regulation and Environmental Quality
The Company’s operations are subject to certain federal, state, and local regulatory requirements relating to the
use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during their manufacturing processes. Over the
past several years, Patrick has taken a proactive role in certifying that the composite wood substrate materials that
it uses to produce products for its customers in the RV marketplace have complied with applicable emission
standards developed by the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”). All suppliers and manufacturers of
composite wood materials are required to comply with the current CARB regulations.
The Company is certified to sell Forestry Stewardship Council (“FSC”) materials to its customers at certain of its
manufacturing branches. The FSC certification provides a link between responsible production and consumption
of materials from the world’s forests and it assists our customers in making socially and environmentally
responsible buying decisions on the products it purchases.
We believe that we are currently operating in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and have made
reports and submitted information as required. The Company believes that the expense of compliance with these
laws and regulations with respect to environmental quality, as currently in effect, will not have a material adverse
effect on its financial condition or competitive position, and will not require any material capital expenditures for
plant or equipment modifications.
Seasonality
Manufacturing operations in the RV and MH industries historically have been seasonal and generally had been at
the highest levels when the climate is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits had generally been
12
the highest in the second and third quarters. Seasonal industry trends in the past several years have included the
impact related to the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers to the September/October
timeframes, whereby dealers are delaying purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. This
has resulted in seasonal softening in the RV industry beginning in the mid-third quarter and extending through
October, and when combined with our increased concentration in the RV industry, led to a seasonal trend pattern
in which the Company achieves its strongest sales and profit levels in the first half of the year.
Employees
As of December 31, 2014, we had 2,799 employees, 2,512 of which were engaged directly in production,
warehousing, and delivery operations; 81 in sales; and 206 in office and administrative activities, which includes
purchasing, inventory and production control, customer service, human resources, accounting, and information
technology, among others. There were no manufacturing plants or distribution centers covered by collective
bargaining agreements. Patrick continuously reviews benefits and other matters of interest to its employees and
considers its relations with its employees to be good.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
The Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows can be adversely affected by
various risks related to its business. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below
and the other matters set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of these risks should be carefully
considered.
Economic and business conditions that are beyond our control, including cyclicality and seasonality, and
concerns over the sustainability of the economic recovery, have in the past had a significant adverse impact on
our operating results, and could negatively impact our operating results in the future.
The three major markets in which we sell our products, RV, MH and industrial, have been characterized by cycles
of growth and contraction in consumer demand, and are dependent upon various factors, including the general
level of economic activity, consumer confidence, interest rates, access to financing, inventory and production
levels, and the cost and availability of fuel. Economic and demographic factors can cause substantial fluctuations
in production, which in turn impact sales and operating results. Consequently, the results for any prior period may
not be indicative of results for any future period.
Manufacturing operations in the RV and MH industries historically have been seasonal and are generally at the
highest levels when the climate is moderate. However, seasonal industry trends in the past several years have
been different from prior years, primarily reflecting volatile economic conditions, fluctuations in RV dealer
inventories, changing dealer show schedules, interest rates, access to financing, the cost of fuel, and increased
demand from RV dealers. Consequently, future seasonal trends may be different from prior years.
In addition, a macroeconomic downturn has historically adversely affected our operating results and could again in
the future. Companies in these markets are subject to volatility in production levels, shipments, sales and
operating results due to changes in external factors such as general economic conditions, including credit
availability, consumer confidence, employment rates, interest rates, inflation and other economic conditions
affecting consumer demand, as well as demographic and political changes. We cannot predict the duration of an
economic downturn, the timing or strength of a subsequent economic recovery or the extent to which an
economic downturn will continue to negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur significant charges or be adversely impacted by the consolidation and/or closure of all or part of a
manufacturing or distribution facility.
14
We periodically assess the cost structure of our operating facilities to distribute and/or manufacture and sell our
products in the most efficient manner. Based on our assessments and if required by business conditions, we may
make capital investments to move, discontinue manufacturing and/or distribution capabilities, or products and
product lines, sell or close all or part of additional manufacturing and/or distribution facilities in the future. These
changes could result in significant future charges or disruptions in our operations, and we may not achieve the
expected benefits from these changes, which could result in an adverse impact on our operating results, cash
flows, and financial condition.
The financial condition of our customers and suppliers may deteriorate as a result of weakening conditions in the
economy and competitive conditions in their markets.
The markets we serve historically have been highly sensitive to changes in the economic environment. Weakening
conditions in the economy could cause the financial condition of our customers and suppliers to deteriorate, which
could negatively affect our business through the loss of sales or the inability to meet our commitments. Many of
our customers participate in highly competitive markets and their financial condition may deteriorate as a result.
A decline in the financial condition of our customers could hinder our ability to collect amounts owed by
customers. In addition, such a decline could result in lower demand for our products and services.
Although we have a large number of customers, our sales are significantly concentrated with two customers, the
loss of which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
Two customers in the RV market accounted for a combined 58% of our consolidated net sales in 2014. The loss of
either of these customers could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
In addition, we do not have long-term agreements with our customers and cannot predict that we will maintain
our current relationships with these customers or that we will continue to supply them at current levels.
A significant percentage of the Company’s sales are concentrated in the RV industry, and declines in the level of
RV unit shipments or reductions in industry growth, could adversely impact our sales levels to this industry and
our operating results.
In 2014, 74% of our net sales were to the RV industry versus 72% in 2013 and 69% in 2012. The increase in the
Company’s sales concentration in the RV industry primarily resulted from an increase in RV wholesale unit
shipment levels over the last several years, increased RV market penetration by the Company, and the Company’s
completion of several RV-related acquisitions in the 2010 to 2014 period. Future declines in RV unit shipment
levels or reductions in industry growth could significantly reduce the Company’s revenue from the RV industry and
have a material adverse impact on our operating results in 2015 and other future periods.
The manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries are highly competitive and some of our
competitors may have greater resources than we do.
We operate in a highly competitive business environment and our sales could be negatively impacted by our
inability to maintain or increase prices, changes in geographic or product mix, or the decision of our customers to
purchase our competitors’ products instead of our products or to produce in-house products that we currently
produce. We compete not only with other suppliers to the RV and MH producers but also with suppliers to
traditional site-built homebuilders and suppliers of cabinetry. Sales could also be affected by pricing, purchasing,
financing, advertising, operational, promotional, or other decisions made by purchasers of our products.
Additionally, we cannot control the decisions made by suppliers of our distributed and manufactured products and
therefore, our ability to maintain our exclusive and non-exclusive distributor contracts and agreements may be
adversely impacted.
The greater financial resources or the lower amount of debt of certain of our competitors may enable them to
commit larger amounts of capital in response to changing market conditions. Certain competitors may also have
the ability to develop innovative new products that could put the Company at a competitive disadvantage. If we
are unable to compete successfully against other manufacturers and suppliers to the RV and MH industries, we
could lose customers and sales could decline, or we may not be able to improve or maintain profit margins on sales
to customers or be able to continue to compete successfully in our core markets.
15
The cyclical nature of the domestic housing market has caused our sales and operating results to fluctuate.
These fluctuations may continue in the future, which could result in operating losses during downturns.
The U.S. housing industry is cyclical and is influenced by many national and regional economic and demographic
factors, including:
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
terms and availability of financing for homebuyers and retailers;
overall consumer confidence and the level of discretionary consumer spending;
interest rates;
population and employment trends;
income levels;
housing demand; and
general economic conditions, including inflation, deflation and recessions.
The RV and MH industries and the industrial markets can be affected by fluctuations in the residential housing
market. As a result of the foregoing factors, our sales and operating results can fluctuate, and we expect that they
will continue to fluctuate in the future. Moreover, cyclical and seasonal downturns in the residential housing
market may cause us to experience operating losses.
Fuel shortages or high prices for fuel have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our
operations.
The products produced by the RV industry typically require gasoline or diesel fuel for their operation, or the use of
a vehicle requiring gasoline or diesel fuel for their operation. There can be no assurance that the supply of
gasoline and diesel fuel will continue uninterrupted or that the price or tax on fuel will not significantly increase in
the future. Shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel have had a significant adverse effect on the demand for
recreational vehicles in the past and would be expected to have an adverse effect on demand in the future. Rapid
significant increases in fuel prices, as we experienced in recent years, appear to affect the demand for recreational
vehicles when gasoline prices reach unusually high levels. Such a reduction in overall demand for recreational
vehicles could have a materially adverse impact on our revenues and profitability.
We are dependent on third-party suppliers and manufacturers.
Generally, our raw materials, supplies and energy requirements are obtained from various sources and in the
quantities desired. While alternative sources are available, our business is subject to the risk of price increases and
periodic delays in delivery. Fluctuations in the prices of these requirements may be driven by the supply/demand
relationship for that commodity, governmental regulation, economic conditions in other countries, religious
holidays, natural disasters, and other events. In addition, if any of our suppliers seek bankruptcy relief or
otherwise cannot continue their business as anticipated, the availability or price of these requirements could be
adversely affected.
Increases in demand for our products could make it more difficult for us to obtain additional skilled labor, and
available capacity may initially not be utilized efficiently.
In certain geographic regions in which we have manufacturing facilities, we have experienced, and could again
experience, shortages of qualified employees. If demand continues to increase, we may not be able to increase
production to timely satisfy demand, and may initially incur higher labor and production costs, which could
adversely impact our financial condition and operating results.
The increased cost and limited availability of certain raw materials may have a material adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.
Prices of certain materials, including gypsum, lauan, particleboard, MDF, aluminum and other commodity
products, can be volatile and change dramatically with changes in supply and demand. Certain products are
purchased from overseas and their availability is dependent upon climate changes, seasonal and religious holidays,
political unrest, economic conditions overseas, natural disasters, vessel shipping schedules and port availability.
Further, certain of our commodity product suppliers sometimes operate at or near capacity, resulting in some
products having the potential of being put on allocation. We generally have been able to maintain adequate
16
supplies of materials and to pass higher material costs on to our customers in the form of surcharges and base
price increases where needed. However, it is not certain future price increases can be passed on to our customers
without affecting demand or that limited availability of materials will not impact our production capabilities. Our
sales levels and operating results could be negatively impacted by changes in any of these items.
We are subject to governmental and environmental regulations, and failure in our compliance efforts or events
beyond our control could result in damages, expenses or liabilities that individually or in the aggregate would
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our manufacturing processes involve the use, handling, storage and contracting for recycling or disposal of
hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Accordingly, we are subject to various governmental and environmental
regulations regarding these substances. In addition, the implementation of new regulations or amendments to
existing regulations could significantly increase the cost of the Company’s products. We currently use materials
that we believe comply with government regulations. We cannot presently determine what, if any, legislation may
be adopted by Congress or state or local governing bodies, or the effect any such legislation may have on our
customers or us. In addition, failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines or potential
civil or criminal liability. Both scenarios could negatively impact our results of operations or financial condition.
Compliance with conflict minerals disclosure requirements will create additional compliance cost and may create
reputational challenges.
The SEC adopted rules pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
setting forth new disclosure requirements concerning the use or potential use of certain minerals, deemed conflict
minerals (tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten), that are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining
countries. These requirements necessitate due diligence efforts on our part to assess whether such minerals are
used in our products in order to make the relevant required annual disclosures. There will be costs associated with
complying with these disclosure requirements, including for diligence to determine the sources of conflict minerals
used in our products and other potential changes to products, processes or sources of supply because of such
verification activities. The implementation of these rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply and pricing of
materials used in our products. As there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering conflict-free minerals,
we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain necessary conflict minerals from such suppliers in sufficient
quantities or at competitive prices. We may also face reputational challenges if we determine that certain of our
products contain minerals not determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins for
all conflict minerals used in our products through the procedures we may implement.
The inability to attract and retain qualified executive officers and key personnel may adversely affect our
operations.
While we include succession planning as part of our ongoing talent development and management process to help
ensure the continuity of our business model, the loss of any of our executive officers or other key personnel could
reduce our ability to manage our business and strategic plan in the short-term and could cause our sales and
operating results to decline. In addition, our future success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to
attract and retain executive management, key employees, and other qualified personnel.
Our ability to integrate acquired businesses may adversely affect operations.
As part of our business and strategic plan, we look for strategic acquisitions to provide shareholder value. Any
acquisition will require the effective integration of an existing business and its administrative, financial, sales and
marketing, manufacturing, and other functions to maximize synergies. Acquired businesses involve a number of
risks that may affect our financial performance, including increased leverage, diversion of management resources,
assumption of liabilities of the acquired businesses, and possible corporate culture conflicts. If we are unable to
successfully integrate these acquisitions, we may not realize the benefits identified in our due diligence process,
and our financial results may be negatively impacted. Additionally, significant unexpected liabilities could arise
from these acquisitions.
17
Increased levels of indebtedness may harm our financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $101.1 million of total debt outstanding under our $165 million
revolving credit facility (the “2012 Credit Facility”) that was established pursuant to our current credit agreement,
as amended (the “2012 Credit Agreement”).
In certain circumstances, an increase in our level of indebtedness could have adverse consequences on our future
operations, including making it more difficult for us to meet our payments on outstanding debt and we may not be
able to find alternative financing sources to replace our indebtedness in such an event. Furthermore, such
increases could (i) reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limit our ability to obtain additional financing for these
purposes; (ii) limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our
business and the industry in which we operate; (iii) place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our
competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged; and (iv) create concerns about our credit quality which could
result in the loss of supplier contracts and/or customers.
Our 2012 Credit Agreement contains various financial performance and other covenants. If we do not remain in
compliance with these covenants, our 2012 Credit Agreement could be terminated and the amounts outstanding
thereunder could become immediately due and payable.
We have debt outstanding that contains financial and non-financial covenants with which we must comply that
place restrictions on us. There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the financial covenants
under our 2012 Credit Agreement. These covenants require that we comply with a maximum level of a
consolidated total leverage ratio and a minimum level of a consolidated interest coverage ratio under the 2012
Credit Agreement, and adhere to annual capital expenditure limitations as defined by our 2012 Credit Agreement.
If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our 2012 Credit Agreement, the lenders could cause our debt
to become due and payable prior to maturity or it could result in our having to refinance the indebtedness under
unfavorable terms. If our debt were accelerated, our assets might not be sufficient to repay our debt in full and
there can be no assurance that we would be able to refinance any or all of this indebtedness.
Due to industry conditions and our operating results, we have had limited access to sources of capital in the past.
If we are unable to locate suitable sources of capital when needed, we may be unable to maintain or expand our
business.
We depend on our cash balances, our cash flows from operations, and our 2012 Credit Facility to finance our
operating requirements, capital expenditures and other needs. If the general recessionary economic conditions
that impacted the economy in 2007-2010 should return in the future, production of RVs and manufactured homes
could decline, resulting in reduced demand for our products. A decline in our operating results could negatively
impact our liquidity. If our cash balances, cash flows from operations, and availability under our 2012 Credit
Facility are insufficient to finance our operations and alternative capital is not available, we may not be able to
expand our business and make acquisitions, or we may need to curtail or limit our existing operations.
We have letters of credit representing collateral for our casualty insurance programs and for general operating
purposes that have been issued under our 2012 Credit Agreement. The inability to retain our current letters of
credit, to obtain alternative letter of credit sources, or to retain our 2012 Credit Agreement to support these
programs could require us to post cash collateral, reduce the amount of cash available for our operations, or cause
us to curtail or limit existing operations.
Increased levels of inventory may adversely affect our profitability.
Our customers generally do not maintain long-term supply contracts and, therefore, we must bear the risk of
advanced estimation of customer orders. We maintain an inventory to support these customers’ needs. Changes
in demand, market conditions and/or product specifications could result in material obsolescence and a lack of
alternative markets for certain of our customer specific products and could negatively impact operating results.
18
We could incur charges for impairment of assets, including goodwill and other long-lived assets, due to potential
declines in the fair value of those assets or a decline in expected profitability of the Company or individual
reporting units of the Company.
A portion of our total assets as of December 31, 2014 was comprised of goodwill, amortizable intangible assets,
and property, plant and equipment. Under generally accepted accounting principles, each of these assets is
subject to periodic review and testing to determine whether the asset is recoverable or realizable. The events or
changes that could require us to test our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment include changes in our
estimated future cash flows, changes in rates of growth in our industry or in any of our reporting units, and
decreases in our stock price and market capitalization.
In the future, if sales demand or market conditions change from those projected by management, asset write-
downs may be required. Significant impairment charges, although not always affecting current cash flow, could
have a material effect on our operating results and financial position.
A variety of factors could influence fluctuations in the market price for our common stock.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate in the future in response to a number of factors, including
those discussed below. The market price of our common stock has in the past fluctuated and is likely to continue
to fluctuate. Some of the factors that may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate include:

variations in our and our competitors’ operating results;
historically low trading volume;
high concentration of shares held by institutional investors and in particular our largest shareholder,
Tontine Capital (as defined herein);
announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships,
joint ventures or capital commitments;
the gain or loss of significant customers;
additions or departures of key personnel;
events affecting other companies that the market deems comparable to us;
general conditions in industries in which we operate;
general conditions in the United States and abroad;
the presence or absence of short selling of our common stock;
future sales of our common stock or debt securities;
announcements by us or our competitors of technological improvements or new products; and
the sale by Tontine Capital or its announcement of an intention to sell, all or a portion of its equity
interests in the Company.
A significant portion of our common stock is held by Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. and affiliates (collectively,
“Tontine Capital”), which has the ability to influence our affairs significantly, including all matters requiring
shareholder approval, and whose interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders. In
addition, the ownership of a major portion of our common stock is concentrated in the hands of a few holders.
Based on information contained in a filing by Tontine Capital with the SEC on February 27, 2015, the aggregate
number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by Tontine Capital was 1,877,680 or 18.3 %
of our outstanding common stock.
Tontine Capital has the ability to influence our affairs significantly, including all matters requiring shareholder
approval, including the election of our directors, the adoption of amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, the
approval of mergers and sales of all or substantially all of our assets, decisions affecting our capital structure and
other significant corporate transactions. In addition to its current major interest, pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement with Tontine Capital, dated April 10, 2007, if Tontine Capital (i) holds between 7.5% and 14.9% of our
common stock then outstanding, Tontine Capital has the right to appoint one nominee to our board; or (ii) holds at
least 15% of our common stock then outstanding, Tontine Capital has the right to appoint two nominees to our
board. As of February 27, 2015, Tontine Capital has one director on the Company’s board of directors and has not
exercised its right to nominate a second director to the board.
19
The interests of Tontine Capital may not in all cases be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders. The
influence of Tontine Capital may also have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes
in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our shareholders to approve transactions that they
may deem to be in their best interests. In addition, Tontine Capital and its affiliates are in the business of investing
in companies and may, from time to time, invest in companies that compete directly or indirectly with us. Tontine
Capital and its affiliates may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business
and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.
The ownership of a major portion of our common stock is concentrated in the hands of Tontine Capital and a few
other holders. We are not able to predict whether or when Tontine Capital or other large stockholders will sell or
otherwise dispose of additional shares of our common stock. Sales or other dispositions of our common stock by
these stockholders could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
In filings with the SEC, Tontine Capital has indicated that it may dispose of its equity interests in the Company at
any time and from time to time. This public disclosure and any future dispositions of stock by Tontine Capital
could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In filings with the SEC, Tontine Capital has indicated that it may dispose of its equity interests in the Company at
any time and from time to time in the open market, through dispositions in kind to parties holding an ownership
interest in Tontine Capital or otherwise. The public disclosure of such possible disposition may adversely affect the
market price for our common stock due to the large number of shares involved. In addition, we are not able to
predict whether or when Tontine Capital will dispose of its stock. Any such future disposition of stock by Tontine
Capital may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We are required to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act of 2002 and any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in
our financial reports and could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by our
management on our internal control over financial reporting. Such report contains, among other matters, an
assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year,
including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This
assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting
identified by management. Each year we must prepare or update the process documentation and perform the
evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. During this process, if our management identifies one or more
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that such internal
control is effective. Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in
place is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. We and our independent
auditors may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need further attention and improvement,
particularly with respect to any businesses that we decide to acquire in the future. Any failure to implement
required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating
results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Investor perception that our internal controls are
inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely, consistent basis may
adversely affect our stock price. Failure to comply with Section 404 could also potentially subject us to sanctions
or investigations by the SEC, NASDAQ, or other regulatory authorities.
Certain provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws may delay, defer or
prevent a change in control that our shareholders each might consider to be in their best interest.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws contain provisions that are intended to deter
coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids by making them unacceptably expensive to the raider,
and to encourage prospective acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors rather than to attempt a hostile
takeover.
We have in place a Rights Agreement, which permits under certain circumstances each holder of common stock,
other than potential acquirers, to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of a newly created series of our
20
preferred stock at a purchase price of $30 or to acquire additional shares of our common stock at 50% of the
current market price. The rights are not exercisable or transferable until a person or group acquires 20% or more
of our outstanding common stock, except with respect to Tontine Capital and its affiliates and associates, which
are exempt from the provisions of the Rights Agreement pursuant to an amendment signed on March 12, 2008.
The effects of the Rights Agreement would be to discourage a stockholder from attempting to take over our
company without negotiating with our Board of Directors.
Conditions within the insurance markets could impact our ability to negotiate favorable terms and conditions for
various liability coverage and could potentially result in uninsured losses.
We generally negotiate our insurance contracts annually for property, casualty, workers compensation, general
liability, health insurance, and directors and officers liability coverage. Due to conditions within these insurance
markets and other factors beyond our control, future coverage limits, terms and conditions and the amount of the
related premiums could have a negative impact on our operating results. While we continually measure the
risk/reward of policy limits and coverage, the lack of coverage in certain circumstances could result in potential
uninsured losses.

Lease Expirations
We believe the facilities we occupy as of December 31, 2014 are adequate for the purposes for which they are
currently being used and are well-maintained. We may, as part of our strategic operating plan, further consolidate
and/or close certain owned facilities and, may not renew leases on property with near-term lease expirations. Use
of our manufacturing facilities may vary with seasonal, economic, and other business conditions.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. In managements’ opinion, currently

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Company Overview and Business Segments
Patrick is a major manufacturer of component products and distributor of building products serving the
recreational vehicle (“RV”) and manufactured housing (“MH”) industries, and certain other industrial markets, such
as kitchen cabinet, office and household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, marine and other industrial
markets and operates coast-to-coast through locations in 10 states. Patrick's major manufactured products
include decorative vinyl and paper laminated panels, fabricated aluminum products, wrapped vinyl, paper and
hardwood profile mouldings, solid surface, granite and quartz countertops, cabinet doors and components,
hardwood furniture, fiberglass bath and shower fixtures, fiberglass marine helms, front and rear caps for RVs, and
plastic components, slide-out trim and fascia, interior passage doors, exterior graphics and RV painting, simulated
wood and stone products, and slotwall panels and components, among others. The Company also distributes pre-
finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall finishing products, electronics, wiring, electrical and plumbing
products, cement siding, fiber reinforced polyester (“FRP”) products, interior passage doors, roofing products,
laminate and ceramic flooring, shower doors, furniture, fireplaces and surrounds, interior and exterior lighting
products, and other miscellaneous products. The Company has two reportable business segments: Manufacturing
and Distribution, which contributed approximately 75% and 25%, respectively, to 2014 net sales.
Overview of Markets and Related Industry Performance
Fiscal 2014 reflected a continuation of solid growth in the RV market, which includes growth in both towable and
motorized units, and improving conditions in the industrial markets, as evidenced by year over year growth in new
housing starts. In addition, the MH market continued to reflect modest improvement with growth at a rate
generally consistent with recent years. Overall, we have continued to capture market share through our strategic
acquisitions, line extensions, and new product initiatives, which resulted in our 2014 sales levels increasing beyond
the general industry results. While there remains general uncertainty related to the stability of the continued
overall economic recovery, as well as the domestic political environment and volatility in international markets,
the three primary markets that we serve have experienced steady growth in 2014, which we expect to continue
into 2015. We are seeing resilience, in particular in the RV market, with what we believe to be upside potential in
the immediate future based on current indicators including positive traffic on dealer retail lots, retail sales and
wholesale shipment statistics trending similar to recent years, and overall balance related to dealer inventory
levels when compared to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) production levels.
RV Industry
The RV industry, which is our primary market and comprised 74% of the Company’s 2014 sales, continued to
strengthen as evidenced by higher retail sales activity, production levels, and wholesale unit shipments versus the
prior year. According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), shipment levels reached 356,735
units in 2014, representing an increase of approximately 11% versus the prior year period, and resulted in 20 out
of 21 quarter-over-quarter increases in shipments. Towable unit shipments increased 11% and motorized units
increased 15% when compared to 2013.
We believe continued growth in 2015 in industry-wide retail sales and the related production levels of RVs will be
dependent on the overall perception of the economy, consumer confidence levels, the domestic political and
governmental environment, and equity securities market trends. On a macroeconomic level, as consumer
confidence has improved over the last five years, there have been year-over-year increases in RV shipments for the
same time period. We anticipate that this industry growth will continue into 2015, barring any global, political or
other factors that negatively impact consumer confidence for an extended period of time. In addition, while
27
increasing or sustained high levels of fuel prices have the potential to negatively impact RV retail unit sales in the
short-term, we believe that the RV market has a “lifestyle” component to it that will continue to drive a solid base
shipment level regardless of fuel price fluctuations. The correlation between the indicators mentioned above, as
well as favorable demographic trends, leads us to believe that the RV industry has a positive longer-term outlook
as overall economic conditions and consumer confidence continue to improve. We are anticipating steady growth
in this market and further believe that RV dealers have the capacity to carry the additional inventory necessary to
support this growth, which would maintain an overall balance in the industry from OEM wholesale shipments to
dealer inventory levels to retail sales at this time. Additionally, the acquisitions we completed in recent years were
primarily RV market-based, and contributed to an increase in our RV market sales concentration in both 2013 and
2014 when compared to earlier periods.
Although some consumers remain cautious when deciding whether to purchase discretionary items, such as RVs,
long-term demographic trends favor RV industry growth fueled by the anticipated positive impact that aging baby
boomers and the increasing number of buyers in the 35-54 year old age category are expected to have on the
industry. In particular, lifestyle trends continue to spur demand for RVs, and RV manufacturers in response have
sized their products to provide a mix of space, amenities, and price to fit a wide range of budget levels to fit the
consumer base.
MH Industry
Sales growth in the MH industry, which represented approximately 15% of the Company’s 2014 sales, continues to
be constrained by the lack of financing alternatives and credit availability, and in certain geographic areas, excess
residential housing inventories. According to industry sources, wholesale unit shipments, which continue to trend
well below historical levels, increased approximately 7% from 2013. While we do not anticipate significant growth
in the MH market, we believe that demand has reached the bottom of the cycle and there is opportunity for
moderate growth, with limited downside risk in the near-term assuming the availability of credit and recalibration
of quality credit standards. Manufactured homes are a lower cost alternative to “stick-built” homes and an
attractive entry point for many first-time homebuyers, and individuals and families looking to re-enter the home-
ownership market, or whose credit ratings have been impacted by the economic and job environment over the
past several years. We also believe manufactured housing to be an attractive option for those who have migrated
to temporary and multi-family housing alternatives.
Factors that may favorably impact production levels further in this industry include quality credit standards in the
residential housing market, favorable changes in financing laws, higher interest rates on traditional residential
housing loans, and improved conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans.
While there is still overhang related to the factors mentioned above, we believe that there is also longer term
potential for this industry as residential housing demand recovers. On average over the last 40 years,
approximately three-fourths of total residential housing starts have been single-family housing starts. In addition,
wholesale unit shipment levels in the MH industry have averaged approximately 9% to 11% of the level of single-
family housing starts over the last 10 years.
While we expect an increase in production levels in the MH industry in 2015, wholesale unit shipments in this
industry continue to be well below the levels seen during the period of 2003 through 2007 that averaged
approximately 124,400 units.
Industrial Market
The industrial market, which comprises primarily the kitchen cabinet industry, retail and commercial fixture
market, household and office furniture market, and regional distributors, is primarily impacted by macroeconomic
conditions, and more specifically, conditions in the residential housing market. The industrial market sector, which
accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s 2014 sales, saw new housing starts for 2014 increase by
approximately 9% from 2013 (as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce). We estimate approximately
56% of our industrial revenue base is directly tied to the residential housing market with the remaining 44% in the
retail and commercial markets, mainly in the office, medical and institutional furnishings markets. We believe
there is a direct correlation between the demand for our products in the residential housing market and new
28
residential housing construction and remodeling activities. Our sales to this market generally lag new residential
housing starts by six to nine months.
In order to offset some of the impacts of the weakness in the residential housing market in recent years, we have
focused on diversification efforts, strategic acquisitions, and increased penetration into the commercial and multi-
family housing markets with the addition of new sales territories and personnel. Additionally, we have targeted
certain sales efforts towards market segments that are less directly tied to new single and multi-family home
construction, including the marine, retail fixture, office, furniture, and countertop markets. As a result, we have
seen a shift in our product mix, which has had a positive impact on revenues from the industrial markets.
We believe that projected continued low interest rates, overall expected economic improvement and pent up
demand remain some of the drivers that will positively impact the housing industry for the next several years.
The National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”) (as of February 27, 2015) is forecasting an 11% increase in
new housing starts in 2015 compared to 2014.
Raw Material Commodity Pricing
Based on the anticipated improvement and increased demand in 2014 in all three of the primary markets we
serve, we are also expecting the cost of our raw materials in certain commodities to increase as well. Conversely,
the recent decline in fuel prices is expected to result in price declines on certain petroleum based input costs,
which are expected to be passed on to customers in certain areas and product lines. Historically, higher energy
costs, the impact of natural disasters in various areas of the world, and increased demand in certain market sectors
have driven up the costs of certain raw materials in the past and the Company continues to explore alternative
sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from overseas. Due to the volatile nature of
pricing in the commodity markets, we generally pass both price increases and decreases through to our customer
base.
Acquisitions
In 2014, the Company completed four acquisitions, all of which provided the opportunity for the Company to
increase its product offerings, market share and per unit content primarily in the RV market:
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
Four related companies based in Bremen, Indiana and Elkhart, Indiana: Precision Painting, Inc., Carrera
Custom Painting, Inc., Millennium Paint, Inc., and TDM Transport, Inc. (collectively referred to as “Precision
Painting Group” or “Precision”), for a net purchase price of $16.0 million. This acquisition provided the
opportunity for the Company to establish a presence in the RV exterior full body painting market.
Foremost Fabricators, LLC (“Foremost”), a Goshen, Indiana-based fabricator and distributor of fabricated
aluminum products, FRP sheet and coil, and custom laminated products primarily used in the RV market, for
a net purchase price of $45.4 million. This acquisition provided the opportunity for the Company to
establish a presence in the laminated and fabricated roll formed aluminum products market.
PolyDyn3, LLC (“PolyDyn3”), an Elkhart, Indiana-based custom fabricator of simulated wood and stone
products such as headboards, fireplaces, ceiling medallions, columns and trims, for the RV market, for a net
purchase price of $1.3 million. This acquisition provided the opportunity for the Company to bring in-house
new production capabilities and product lines that were previously represented through one of the
Company’s distribution business units.
Charleston Corporation (“Charleston”), a Bremen, Indiana-based manufacturer of fiberglass and plastic
components primarily used in the RV, marine, and vehicle aftermarket industries, for a net purchase price of
$9.5 million. This acquisition provided the opportunity for the Company to further expand its presence in
the fiberglass components market.
These 2014 acquisitions, combined with the 2013 acquisitions of Frontline Mfg., Inc. (“Frontline”), Premier
Concepts, Inc. (“Premier”) and John H. McDonald Co., Inc. d/b/a West Side Furniture (“West Side”), and the 2012
acquisitions of Décor Mfg., LLC (“Décor”), Gustafson Lighting (“Gustafson”), Creative Wood Designs, Inc. (“Creative
Wood”) and Middlebury Hardwood Products, Inc. (“Middlebury Hardwoods”), contributed to an increase in our RV
market sales concentration in both 2014 and 2013 compared to earlier periods.
29
In addition, in February 2015, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Better Way Partners, LLC
d/b/a Better Way Products (“Better Way”) with operating facilities located in New Paris, Bremen and Syracuse,
Indiana, for a net purchase price of approximately $40.0 million. Better Way is a manufacturer of fiberglass
components primarily used in the RV, marine and transit vehicle markets.
Summary of 2014 Financial Results
Below is a summary of our 2014 financial results. Additional detailed discussions are provided elsewhere in this
MD&A and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(cid:120) Net sales increased $140.8 million or 23.7% in 2014 to $735.7 million, compared to $594.9 million in 2013
primarily reflecting: (i) increased year over year shipments in the RV and MH industries as well as improved
residential housing starts which represent the three primary markets the Company serves; (ii) the incremental
impact of acquisitions completed during 2013 and 2014, including related market share growth; (iii) improved
residential cabinet and office, medical and institutional furnishings sales in the industrial market; and (iv)
increased market penetration in the RV market. Wholesale unit shipments in the RV and MH industries
increased 11% and 7%, respectively, in 2014 compared to the prior year. New housing starts increased 9% for
2014 compared to the prior year. Excluding the revenue contributions of the 2013 and 2014 acquisitions, our
organic growth for the full year 2014 was approximately 11%.
(cid:120) Gross profit increased $27.5 million to $118.5 million, or 16.1% of net sales in 2014, compared with gross
profit of $91.0 million or 15.3% of net sales in 2013. Gross profit was positively impacted by higher sales levels
relative to our overall fixed overhead costs, new higher margin product lines, organic revenue growth, and the
acquisition-related revenue growth noted above.
(cid:120) Operating income increased $10.5 million to $51.5 million in 2014, compared to $41.0 million in 2013.
Operating income in 2014 was positively impacted by the factors described above.
(cid:120) Net income was $30.7 million or $2.87 per diluted share in 2014, compared to $24.0 million or $2.23 per
diluted share for 2013. The major factors that influenced net income for both periods are described above.
2014 Initiatives and Challenges
In fiscal year 2014, our primary focus was on gaining market share through the introduction of new products to
the marketplace and the execution of strategic acquisitions, maximizing operating efficiencies, managing and
developing our talent pool, and further embedding our ‘Customer 1st’ performance oriented culture.
Specific execution items included the following:
(cid:120) Invested approximately $72 million in four acquisitions during 2014 – Precision Painting Group (which
consisted of four related companies), Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston. These four acquisitions had
estimated full year 2014 revenues, in the aggregate, of approximately $126 million, of which approximately
$56 million was included in our full year 2014 operating results from the date of acquisition.
(cid:120) Reinvested approximately $6.5 million through capital expenditures, which included the ongoing project to
replace our Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system, the replacement and upgrading of existing
production equipment at several of our manufacturing operations, and strategic capital and maintenance
expenditures.
(cid:120) Introduced over 60 new products to the market including line extensions.
(cid:120) Increased our market penetration by adjusting our focus to drive increased residential cabinet and office,
medical, and institutional furnishings content as evidenced by a 16% year-over-year sales increase in the
industrial market.
(cid:120) Increased our RV content per unit (based on a trailing twelve-month basis) to $1,536 in 2014 from $1,338 in
2013.
(cid:120) Increased our MH content per unit (based on a trailing twelve-month basis) to $1,692 in 2014 from $1,582 in
2013.
30
Fiscal Year 2015 Outlook
The three primary markets that we serve experienced steady growth in 2014, which we expect to continue into
2015. The RVIA currently forecasts that RV unit shipment levels in 2015 will increase approximately 6% when
compared to the full year 2014. In addition, we anticipate a further increase in production levels in the MH
industry in 2015, reflecting improvement in the overall economy and consistent with the improvement in single-
family residential housing starts. Based on the industry’s current annualized run rates, the Company projects
wholesale MH unit shipments for full year 2015 to increase by approximately 10% compared to 2014. The NAHB
(as of February 27, 2015) is currently forecasting an 11% year-over-year increase in new housing starts in 2015
compared to the prior year.
We believe we are well-positioned to increase revenues in all of the markets that we serve as the overall economic
environment continues to improve. While our visibility related to longer-term industry conditions is limited to
approximately six months, we expect to continue to see year over year revenue growth for fiscal year 2015,
exclusive of the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2014.
We will continue to review our operations on a regular basis, balance appropriate risks and opportunities, and
maximize efficiencies to support the Company’s long-term strategic growth goals. Our team remains focused on
strategic acquisitions, capturing market share and increasing our per unit content, keeping costs aligned with
revenue, maximizing operating efficiencies, talent management, and the execution of our organizational strategic
agenda. Key focus areas for 2015 include strategic revenue growth, improved operating income and net income,
earnings per share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), and free cash flow.
Additional focus areas include:
(cid:120) Sales into additional commercial/institutional markets to diversify revenue base;
(cid:120) Further improvement of operating efficiencies in all manufacturing operations and corporate functions;
(cid:120) Acquisition of businesses/product lines that meet established criteria;
(cid:120) Balance aggressive management of inventory quantities and pricing with the need to meet expected
customer demand growth, as well as the addition of select key commodity suppliers; and
(cid:120) Ongoing development of existing product lines and the addition of new product lines.
In conjunction with our organizational strategic agenda, we will continue to make targeted capital investments to
support new business and leverage our operating platform, and we will continue to work towards our goal of fully
integrating sales efforts to strengthen and broaden customer relationships and meet customer demands with the
highest quality service and the goal of continually exceeding our customers’ expectations. In 2014, capital
expenditures were approximately $6.5 million versus $8.7 million in 2013. The current capital plan for full year
2015 includes expenditures approximating up to $8.0 million, and includes the ongoing replacement of our ERP
system, equipment upgrades to ensure that our facilities have the capacity, capabilities and technology to facilitate
our growth plans, and other strategic capital and maintenance improvements.

Net Sales. Net sales in 2014 increased $140.8 million or 23.7%, to $735.7 million from $594.9 million in 2013. The
increase was primarily attributable to a 27% increase in the Company’s revenues from the RV industry, a 13%
increase in revenues from the MH industry, and a 16% increase in revenues from the industrial markets.
Excluding the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2014 and the incremental revenue
contributions of the 2013 acquisitions, the Company estimates its organic growth in 2014 at approximately 11%, or
$62.8 million of the total revenue increase. The remaining $78.0 million revenue increase in 2014 was attributable
to the incremental contribution of the 2013 acquisitions (Frontline, Premier and West Side) and to the 2014
acquisitions (Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston).
The sales increase in 2014 is also primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV market penetration, (ii) improved
residential cabinet and office, medical and institutional furnishings business in the industrial market, (iii) an
increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry, and (iv) improved residential housing starts.
The RV industry, which represented approximately 74% of the Company’s sales in 2014, saw wholesale unit
shipments increase by approximately 11% compared to 2013. The MH industry, which represented 15% of the
Company’s 2014 sales, experienced a 7% increase in wholesale unit shipments compared to 2013. The industrial
market sector accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s sales in 2014. We estimate that approximately
56% of our industrial revenue base is directly tied to the residential housing market.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $113.3 million or 22.5%, to $617.2 million in 2014 from $503.9
million in 2013. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased during 2014 to 83.9% from 84.7% in
2013.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was positively impacted during 2014 by: (i) increased revenues
relative to our overall fixed overhead costs; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2014 and 2013 and the
addition of new higher margin product lines; and (iii) ongoing organizational and process changes that enhanced
labor efficiencies and increased material yields.
In addition, increased demand in certain market sectors can result in fluctuating costs of certain commodities of
raw materials and other products that we utilize and distribute from quarter to quarter. The Company continually
explores alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from overseas.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $27.5 million or 30.2%, to $118.5 million in 2014 from $91.0 million in 2013.
As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 16.1% in 2014 from 15.3% in 2013. The improvement in
gross profit dollars and the percentage of net sales in 2014 compared to 2013 reflected the positive impact of the
factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”, including the positive contribution to gross profit of both
organic and acquisition-related revenue growth, and disciplined cost control and management of certain low
margin business.
32
Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of our RV, MH, and industrial businesses include the
costs of commodities used to manufacture our products and the competitive environment that can cause gross
margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.
Exclusive of any commodity pricing fluctuations, competitive pricing dynamics, or other circumstances outside of
our control, we expect full year gross margins in 2015 to be generally consistent with those in 2014 with the
potential to increase as a result of operating leverage from continued expected sales growth, partially offset by
lower gross margins on certain acquisitions completed in 2014 when compared to historical consolidated gross
margins.
Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $6.0 million or 29.8%, to $26.2
million in 2014 from $20.2 million in 2013. The expense increase was primarily attributable to increased sales
volumes.
As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 3.6% in 2014 and 3.4% in 2013. The increase
as a percentage of net sales primarily reflected: (i) additional warehouse staff as a result of a 36% increase in our
distribution revenues during 2014; (ii) increased overtime expenses for Company fleet drivers and greater
utilization of more costly third party contract drivers in certain of our manufacturing and distribution operations,
related to a shortage of qualified drivers to transport our products to our customers, primarily in the first half of
2014; and (iii) increased overall demand levels in other industries which resulted in increased freight rates, both
with full truckload and less than full truckload carriers, in addition to increased driver wages, that were partially
offset by a reduction in fuel costs, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2014. We expect the current reduction in
fuel costs, if sustained throughout 2015, to positively impact our warehouse and delivery expenses in 2015.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $8.4 million or 30.0%, to $36.4
million in 2014 from $28.0 million in 2013. Additional headcount associated with certain recent acquisitions,
increased stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.0 million, and an increase in incentive
compensation related to higher levels of profitability contributed to a net increase in selling and administrative
wages, incentives and payroll taxes in 2014 compared to the prior year. In addition, SG&A expenses in 2013
included a gain of $0.3 million related to the recovery of a previously reserved receivable. As a percentage of net
sales, SG&A expenses were 4.9% in 2014 and 4.7% in 2013.
Additionally, the Company incurred certain transaction-related expenses in 2014 in connection with acquisitions
completed and those evaluated of approximately $0.8 million. The increase in SG&A expenses in 2014 was
partially offset by the recognition of pretax gains of $1.0 million in the aggregate associated with one 2012
acquisition and two 2013 acquisitions in which the conditions for payment of contingent consideration were not
achieved.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $2.1 million in 2014 compared to
the prior year, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in 2013 (Frontline, Premier and West Side),
and in 2014 (Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston). In the aggregate, in conjunction with the 2013 and
2014 acquisitions, the Company recognized $31.6 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are being
amortized over periods ranging from three to 10 years.
(Gain) Loss on Sale of Fixed Assets. During 2013, the Company sold the facility that housed its distribution
operation in Halstead, Kansas and recorded a pretax gain on sale of approximately $0.4 million.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $10.5 million or 25.7% to $51.5 million in 2014 from $41.0 million
in 2013. Operating income in 2014 and 2013 included $3.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the
acquisitions completed in each such year. The change in operating income is primarily attributable to the items
discussed above.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $0.2 million to $2.4 million in 2014 from $2.2 million in 2013
reflecting increased borrowings primarily to fund acquisitions offset by a lower effective interest rate compared to
the prior year period.
33
Income Taxes. The Company recorded income taxes at a full year blended rate of 37.5% for 2014 and 38% for the
full year 2013. As we continue to refine our federal and state income tax estimates, which are impacted by
permanent differences impacting the effective tax rate and shifts in apportionment factors among states as a
result of recent acquisition activity and other factors, we could experience further fluctuations in our combined
effective income tax rate from period to period and for the full year 2015.
In 2014 and 2013, the Company realized a net tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million and $2.4 million,
respectively, related to the realization of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been
recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These tax benefits were recorded to
shareholders’ equity upon realization in 2014 and 2013 at the then estimated effective combined federal and state
tax rate.
From a tax perspective, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) which
resulted in virtually no cash taxes being paid other than franchise taxes and various state filing taxes prior to 2013.
In 2013, the Company fully utilized its remaining federal NOL of approximately $9.8 million. In addition, the
Company had various state NOLs of approximately $4.5 million at December 31, 2013, of which approximately $1.6
million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2014.
The federal and state NOLs discussed above were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax
provision for 2013 and, with respect to state NOLs only, for 2014. In 2014 and 2013, the Company made quarterly
estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual 2014 and 2013 federal and state income tax liability.
Net Income. Net income for 2014 was $30.7 million or $2.87 per diluted share compared to $24.0 million or $2.23
per diluted share for 2013. The changes in net income for 2014 reflected the impact of the items previously
discussed.
Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to 2012
Net Sales. Net sales in 2013 increased $157.5 million or 36.0%, to $594.9 million from $437.4 million in 2012. The
increase was primarily attributable to a 44% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, a 13%
increase in revenues from the MH industry, and a 33% increase in revenues from the industrial markets.
Excluding the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2012 and 2013, the Company estimated its
organic growth in 2013 at approximately 19% or $82.6 million of the total revenue increase. Of the remaining
$74.9 million revenue increase in 2013, approximately $63.3 million was attributable to the incremental
contribution of the 2012 acquisitions (Décor, Gustafson, Creative Wood, and Middlebury Hardwoods) and
approximately $11.6 million was attributable to the 2013 acquisitions (Frontline, Premier, and West Side).
The sales increase in 2013 is also primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV market penetration, (ii) improved retail
fixture and residential cabinet and furniture business in the industrial market, (iii) an increase in wholesale unit
shipments in the MH industry, and (iv) improved residential housing starts. The increase was partially offset by the
impact of the vertical integration efforts of one of our larger customers in the MH market that is producing in-
house one of the product lines for certain of its facilities that we had previously been supplying. In addition, that
same customer has set up distribution centers that provide certain product lines to several of its own
manufacturing facilities that we had previously been supplying.
The RV industry, which represented approximately 72% of the Company’s sales in 2013, saw wholesale unit
shipments increase by approximately 12% compared to 2012. The MH industry, which represented 16% of the
Company’s 2013 sales, experienced a 10% increase in wholesale unit shipments compared to 2012. The industrial
market sector accounted for approximately 12% of the Company’s sales in 2013. We estimate that approximately
60% of our industrial revenue base is directly tied to the residential housing market.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $132.3 million or 35.6%, to $503.9 million in 2013 from $371.6
million in 2012. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased during 2013 to 84.7% from 85.0% in
2012.
34
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was positively impacted during 2013 by: (i) increased revenues
relative to our overall fixed overhead costs, (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2012 and 2013, (iii)
actions to reduce or eliminate negative margins on certain products, (iv) increased revenues from the Distribution
segment which generally has a lower cost of goods sold percentage than the Manufacturing segment, and (v)
ongoing organizational and process changes that enhanced labor efficiencies, reduced scrap and returns, and
increased material yields. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was negatively impacted by fluctuations
in the costs of certain commodities used in the manufacturing of our products during 2013 compared to 2012.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $25.3 million or 38.4%, to $91.0 million in 2013 from $65.7 million in 2012. As
a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 15.3% in 2013 from 15.0% in 2012. The improvement in gross
profit dollars and the percentage of net sales in 2013 compared to 2012 reflected the positive impact of the factors
discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold”.
Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of our RV, MH, and industrial businesses included the
costs of commodities used to manufacture our products and the competitive environment that can cause gross
margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.
Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $4.4 million or 27.7%, to $20.2
million in 2013 from $15.8 million in 2012. The expense increase was primarily attributable to increased sales
volumes.
As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 3.4% in 2013 and 3.6% in 2012. The decrease
as a percentage of net sales for 2013 primarily reflected better utilization of our fleet and truckload delivery
capacities as a result of higher sales volumes, and the impact of increased distribution sales volume compared to
its associated fixed costs.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $6.4 million or 29.3%, to $28.0
million in 2013 from $21.6 million in 2012. Additional headcount associated with recent acquisitions and an
increase in accrued incentive compensation related to higher levels of profitability contributed to a net increase in
selling and administrative wages, incentives and payroll taxes in 2013 compared to the prior year. In addition,
SG&A expenses in 2013 included a gain of $0.3 million related to the recovery of a previously reserved receivable.
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 4.7% in 2013 and 4.9% in 2012.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $0.8 million in 2013 compared to
2012, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in 2012 (Décor, Gustafson, Creative Wood, and
Middlebury Hardwoods) and in 2013 (Frontline, Premier, and West Side). In the aggregate, in conjunction with the
2012 and 2013 acquisitions, the Company recognized $15.9 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are
being amortized over periods ranging from three to 10 years.
Gain on Sale of Fixed Assets and Acquisition of Business. During 2013, the Company sold the facility that housed
its distribution operation in Halstead, Kansas and recorded a pretax gain on sale of approximately $0.4 million.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Gustafson in 2012, the fair value of the net assets acquired of $3.0 million
exceeded the purchase price of $2.8 million. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million associated
with the acquisition. The gain was included in this line item for 2012 in addition to a gain on the sale of fixed
assets for 2012 of $15,000.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $13.9 million or 51.4% to $40.9 million in 2013 from $27.0 million
in 2012. The change in operating income was primarily attributable to the items discussed above.
Stock Warrants Revaluation. The stock warrants revaluation expense of $1.7 million in 2012 represented non-
cash charges related to mark-to-market accounting for common stock warrants issued in 2008 to certain of the
Company’s then existing lenders (the “2008 Warrants”).
35
In 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 291,856 net shares of common stock to the remaining holders that
exercised the remaining 2008 Warrants in cashless exercises. As of December 31, 2012, all of the 2008 Warrants
had been exercised.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense decreased $1.8 million to $2.2 million in 2013 from $4.0 million in 2012.
In 2013, borrowing rates under the 2012 Credit Facility (as defined herein) were lower than the interest rates
under the prior credit facility in the comparable periods in 2012, as well as the interest rates on the March 2011
Notes (as defined herein), the September 2011 Notes (as defined herein), and the 10% Promissory Note issued in
September 2011 to the seller of AIA, all of which were outstanding during the first 10 months of 2012. These notes
were repaid in full in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
Total debt outstanding during the first 10 months of 2012 included the March 2011 Notes, the September 2011
Notes, and the 10% Promissory Note. During 2012, the Company (i) made optional prepayments on each of March
30, 2012 and June 29, 2012 of $770,000 or 10% of the combined $7.7 million original principal amount of the
Company’s March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes for a total prepayment of $1.54 million in the aggregate,
and (ii) repaid $0.75 million principal amount of the 10% Promissory Note.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company used borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility to prepay the
remaining principal outstanding under the March 2011 Notes, the September 2011 Notes, and the Promissory
Note. Interest expense in 2012 included a non-cash charge of $0.7 million for the write-off of the remaining
unamortized debt discount on the prepayment of the March 2011 Notes and the September 2011 Notes, and a
charge of $0.3 million for premiums paid in conjunction with the prepayment of the March 2011 Notes and the
September 2011 Notes.
Income Taxes. The Company recorded income taxes at a full year blended tax rate of 38% for 2013. The effective
tax rate in 2012 was 0% exclusive of the non-cash income tax credit described below.
At January 1, 2012, the Company carried a full valuation allowance of $15.6 million against its deferred tax assets.
In the second quarter of 2012, the Company determined that it was likely that the remaining net deferred tax
assets would be realized based upon sustained profitability and forecasted future operating results. As a result of
this determination, the Company reversed approximately $6.8 million of the valuation allowance in 2012, with the
reversal recorded as a non-cash income tax credit on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. In
addition, the Company reversed the balance of its valuation allowance in 2012 to fully offset its 2012 tax provision
of approximately $8.8 million, resulting in the 0% effective tax rate described above for 2012.
At December 31, 2012, the Company had a gross federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forward of approximately
$9.8 million that it fully utilized in 2013. In addition, the Company had various state NOLs of approximately $12.6
million at December 31, 2012, of which approximately $4.5 million were remaining to be utilized as of December
31, 2013.
As of December 31, 2012, both the federal and state NOLs included approximately $3.7 million of taxable
deductions related to unrealized excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been recorded as
deferred tax assets. In 2013, the Company realized approximately $2.4 million of additional taxable deductions
related to excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had also not been recorded as deferred tax assets.
In addition, in 2013, based on the utilization of the federal NOL and a portion of the state NOLs, the Company
realized a tax benefit of approximately $2.4 million related to these excess benefits from stock-based
compensation. The tax benefit was recorded to shareholders’ equity upon realization in 2013.
The federal and state NOLs discussed above were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax
provision for 2013. In 2013, the Company made quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected
annual 2013 federal and state income tax liability.
Net Income. Net income for 2013 was $24.0 million or $2.23 per diluted share compared to $28.1 million or $2.64
per diluted share for 2012. The changes in net income for 2013 reflected the impact of the items previously
discussed, including (i) an income tax provision of $14.7 million in 2013 or $1.37 per diluted share, and (ii) the
36
reversal of the tax valuation allowance in 2012, which increased net income by $6.8 million in 2012 or $0.64 per
diluted share.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those based on its method of internal reporting,
which segregates its businesses by product category and production or distribution process. The Company
regularly evaluates the performance of each segment and allocates resources to them based on a variety of
indicators including sales, cost of goods sold, and operating income.
The Company’s reportable business segments are as follows:
(cid:120) Manufacturing - The Company’s lamination operations utilize various materials, such as lauan, medium
density fiberboard (“MDF”), gypsum, and particleboard, which are bonded by adhesives or a heating

Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to 2013
Manufacturing
Sales. Sales increased $89.5 million or 18.7%, to $567.2 million from $477.7 million in 2013. This segment
accounted for approximately 75% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2014. The sales increase reflected a
22%, 15%, and 15% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, MH industry, and industrial markets,
respectively, on a year-over-year basis.
Approximately $53.2 million of the revenue improvement in 2014 was attributable to the incremental contribution
of acquisitions completed in 2013 and to the 2014 acquisitions. There was minimal revenue contribution in 2014
related to the acquired operations of PolyDyn3 and Charleston. The remaining sales increase of $36.3 million is
primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV market penetration; (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV
and MH industries of 11% and 7% in 2014, respectively; and (iii) improved residential cabinet and office, medical
and institutional furnishings sales in the industrial market.
We expect to continue to see overall revenue growth in fiscal 2015 compared to the prior year exclusive of the
revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2014.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $19.8 million to $90.0 million in 2014 from $70.2 in 2013. As a percentage of
sales, gross profit increased to 15.9% in 2014 from 14.7% in 2013. Gross profit for 2014 improved primarily as a
result of higher revenues relative to overall fixed overhead costs, the impact of acquisitions completed during 2013
and 2014, disciplined cost control and management of certain low margin business, and ongoing organizational
and process changes that enhanced labor efficiencies and increased material yields.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $11.9 million to $55.8 million in 2014 from $43.9 million in 2013.
Operating income in 2014 included $1.4 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in 2014. Operating
income attributable to acquisitions completed in 2013 was immaterial. The improvement in operating income
primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above that was partially offset in 2014 by: (i) increased
labor costs for Company fleet drivers and greater utilization of more costly third party contract drivers, particularly
in the first half of 2014, in certain manufacturing operations related to the driver shortage previously described;
and (ii) to a lesser extent, higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in 2014 due to the incremental
impact of acquisitions completed in 2013 and increased sales, salaried and administration spending to support
expected growth.
Distribution
Sales. Sales increased $50.3 million or 36.2%, to $189.4 million in 2014 from $139.1 million in 2013. This segment
accounted for approximately 25% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2014. The sales increase reflected
a 49%, 11%, and 39% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, MH industry, and industrial
markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.
Approximately $24.8 million of the revenue improvement in 2014 was attributable to the incremental contribution
of acquisitions completed in 2013 and to the 2014 acquisitions. Sales were also positively impacted during 2014 by
a 7% increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry. We expect to continue to see overall revenue
growth in fiscal 2015 compared to the prior year exclusive of the revenue contributions of the acquisitions
completed in 2014.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $6.0 million to $29.1 million in 2014 from $23.1 million in 2013. As a
percentage of sales, gross profit was 15.3% in 2014 compared to 16.6% in 2013. The decrease in gross profit as a
percentage of sales for 2014 is primarily attributable to an increase in sales of both imported and domestic lower
margin products at certain of the Company’s distribution facilities.
Operating Income. Operating income in 2014 increased $2.6 million to $10.6 million from $8.0 million in 2013.
Operating income in 2014 included $1.7 million attributable to the acquisitions completed in 2014. Operating
income attributable to acquisitions completed in 2013 was immaterial. The overall increase in revenue, as well as
the acquisition of several new product lines associated with the West Side distribution business acquired in 2013,
38
made a positive contribution to operating income in 2014. The increase in operating income in 2014 was partially
offset by: (i) increased labor costs for Company fleet drivers and greater utilization of more costly third party
contract drivers, particularly in the first half of 2014, in certain of our distribution operations related to the driver
shortage previously described; (ii) unexpected inefficiencies in our shipping schedules due to the severe winter
weather conditions in the Midwest in the first quarter of 2014; and (iii) distribution related overhead and assembly
costs in one of our significantly growing distribution operations.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses in 2014 increased $1.5 million to $10.5 million from $9.0 million in 2013.
Unallocated corporate expenses in 2014 included the impact of increased stock-based compensation expense in
2014 of approximately $2.0 million. In addition, the Company incurred certain transaction-related expenses in
connection with the evaluation and completion of acquisition opportunities that were partially offset by the
recognition of gains associated with certain transactions completed in 2012 and 2013 in which the conditions for
payment of contingent consideration were not achieved. See “SG&A” discussion above for further details.
Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to 2012
Manufacturing
Sales. Sales increased $130.8 million or 37.7%, to $477.7 million in 2013 from $346.9 million in 2012. This
segment accounted for approximately 77% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2013. The sales increase
reflected a 44%, 11% and 37% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, MH industry, and
industrial markets, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. The increase in revenue from the MH market was
partially offset by the impact of the vertical integration efforts of one of our larger MH customers that is producing
in-house one of the product lines for certain of its facilities that we had previously been supplying.
Approximately $54.2 million of the revenue improvement was attributable to the incremental contribution of
acquisitions completed in 2012 (including related market share and industry growth). An additional $7.4 million of
the revenue improvement was attributable to the contribution of the acquisitions completed in 2013 (Frontline
and Premier). The remaining sales increase of $69.2 million in 2013 is primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV
market penetration, (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV industry of 12% in 2013; (iii) an increase
in MH wholesale unit shipments of 10% in 2013; and (iv) improved retail fixture and residential cabinet and
furniture business in the industrial market.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $19.9 million to $70.2 million in 2013 from $50.3 million in 2012. As a
percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 14.7% in 2013 from 14.5% in 2012. Gross profit for 2013 improved
primarily as a result of: (i) higher revenues; (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2012 and 2013; (iii)
increased profitability at our Midwest manufacturing divisions, which benefited from actions to reduce or
eliminate negative margins on certain products; and (iv) ongoing organizational and process changes that
enhanced labor efficiencies, reduced scrap and returns, and increased material yields.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $13.1 million to $43.9 million in 2013 from $30.8 million in 2012.
The improvement in operating income primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above and lower
warehouse and delivery expenses as a percentage of sales.
Distribution
Sales. Sales increased $30.8 million or 28.5%, to $139.1 million in 2013 from $108.3 million in 2012. This segment
accounted for approximately 23% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2013. The sales increase in 2013
reflected a 41% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry and a 15% increase in revenue from the
MH industry.
Approximately $9.1 million of the revenue improvement was attributable to the incremental contribution of the
Gustafson acquisition completed in 2012 (including related market share and industry growth). An additional $4.2
million of the revenue improvement was attributable to the contribution of the West Side acquisition completed in
39
2013. Sales were also positively impacted during 2013 by a 10% increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH
industry, which is the primary market this segment serves.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $5.0 million to $23.1 million in 2013 from $18.1 million in 2012. As a
percentage of sales, gross profit was 16.6% in 2013 compared to 16.7% in 2012.
Operating Income. Operating income in 2013 increased $2.3 million to $8.0 million from $5.7 million in 2012. The
overall increase in revenues, as well as the acquisition of several new product lines during 2012 and 2013, in
particular the Gustafson distribution business acquired in 2012 and the West Side furniture business acquired in
2013, made a positive contribution to operating income during 2013.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses in 2013 increased $0.8 million to $9.0 million from $8.2 million in 2012 primarily
reflecting an increase in administrative wages, incentives, and payroll taxes, as well as additional headcount
associated with recent acquisitions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operations represent the net income we earned in the reported periods adjusted for non-cash
items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from
operating activities and borrowings under our credit facility. Our principal uses of cash are to support working
capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support our capital allocation strategy, which includes
acquisitions, capital expenditures, and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, among others.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $45.7 million in 2014 compared to $22.4 million in 2013. Net income
was $30.7 million in 2014 compared to $24.0 million in the prior year. Net of acquisitions, trade receivables
increased $1.9 million in 2014 and $1.5 million in 2013, reflecting increased sales levels in each of those periods,
including the post-acquisition sales increases of the acquisitions completed in 2014, 2013 and 2012.
Inventories increased $1.7 million in 2014, net of acquisitions, and $7.5 million in 2013, net of acquisitions,
primarily reflecting higher sales volumes and related higher inventory levels associated with acquisitions
completed in 2014, 2013 and 2012. We will continue to work with our key suppliers to match lead-time and
minimum order requirements and to take advantage of strategic buying opportunities, where possible. The $4.6
million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities compared to the $3.6 million net decrease in 2013
primarily reflected the timing of payments related to the Company’s cash management, purchase discount
initiatives to maximize discounts available on inventory procurement, and the impact of acquisitions.
From a tax perspective, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) which
resulted in virtually no cash taxes being paid other than franchise taxes and various state filing taxes prior to 2013.
In 2013, the Company fully utilized its remaining federal NOL of approximately $9.8 million. In addition, the
Company had various state NOLs of approximately $12.6 million at December 31, 2012 and $4.5 million at
December 31, 2013, of which approximately $1.6 million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2014.
In 2014 and 2013, the Company realized a net tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million and $2.4 million,
respectively, related to the realization of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been
recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These tax benefits were recorded to
shareholders’ equity upon realization in 2014 and 2013 at the then estimated effective combined federal and state
tax rate.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.4 million in 2013 compared to $21.0 million in 2012. Net income
was $24.0 million in 2013 compared to $28.1 million in the prior year, including a non-cash income tax credit of
40
$6.8 million related to the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance. Trade receivables increased $1.5
million in 2013 primarily reflecting the post-acquisition sales increases of the acquisitions completed in 2012 and
2013. Trade receivables decreased $1.0 million in 2012 reflecting plant shutdowns by many of our larger
customers in mid-to-late December 2012 for the holiday season. Inventories increased $7.5 million in 2013
compared to a $14.2 million increase in the comparable 2012 period, primarily reflecting the impact of acquisitions
completed in the third quarter of 2013, an increase in sales volumes, and the Company’s strategic decision to
increase inventory levels, particularly in its distribution operations, at year end to continue to be able to meet
anticipated rising customer demand in the first quarter of 2014. The $3.6 million net decrease in accounts payable
and accrued liabilities in 2013 compared to the $5.2 million net increase in 2012 primarily reflected the timing of
payments related to the Company’s cash management and purchase discount initiatives to maximize discounts
available on inventory procurement.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $78.6 million in 2014 primarily to fund: (i) the acquisitions of Precision, Foremost,
PolyDyn3, and Charleston totaling $72.1 million; and (ii) capital expenditures of $6.5 million. Investing activities
used cash of $24.3 million in 2013 primarily to fund: (i) the acquisitions of Frontline, Premier and West Side,
together totaling $16.5 million; and (ii) capital expenditures of $8.7 million, which included the purchase of one of
our distribution facilities that we had previously been leasing from an unrelated third party, for approximately $1.7
million. In addition, investing activities provided cash in 2013 of $1.0 million related to net proceeds from the sale
of the Kansas distribution facility and the sale of various machinery and equipment. In addition, in the first quarter
of 2015 through February 27, 2015, the Company used cash of $40.0 million to fund the acquisition of Better Way.
See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
The capital plan for full year 2014 included spending related to the ongoing replacement of our current ERP
system, equipment upgrades to ensure that our facilities have the capacity, capabilities and technology to facilitate
our growth plans, and other strategic capital and maintenance improvements. Our current operating model
forecasts capital expenditures for fiscal 2015 of approximately $8.0 million.
Cash used in investing activities of $37.2 million in 2012 was primarily to fund the acquisitions of Décor, Gustafson,
Creative Wood, and Middlebury Hardwoods, which together totaled $29.3 million, and included the purchase of
two operating facilities, and to fund capital expenditures of $7.9 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $33.0 million in 2014 compared to $1.4 million in the
comparable 2013 period. As of December 31, 2014, availability under the revolving line of credit under the 2012
Credit Facility was approximately $63.1 million (excluding cash on hand).
The net increase in borrowings of $46.1 million under the Company’s revolving line of credit in 2014 primarily
reflected the funding of the Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston acquisitions, stock repurchases and
capital expenditures (in the aggregate totaling $92.6 million), net of debt reduction.
In 2013, the Company used cash to repurchase 407,330 shares of common stock for a total cost of $6.1 million,
under the $10.0 million stock repurchase program authorized by the Board in February 2013. In 2014, the
Company used cash to repurchase 344,750 shares of common stock for a total cost of $13.9 million, under the
$20.0 million stock repurchase program authorized by the Board in February 2014, which included the remaining
amount under the previous authorization. In total in 2013 and 2014, the Company repurchased 752,080 shares of
common stock at a total cost of $20.0 million. In addition, in the first quarter of 2015 through February 27, 2015,
the Company repurchased 130,500 shares of common stock for a total cost of $5.7 million. See Note 14 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
Cash provided by financing activities in 2014 and 2013 also included $1.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, at
the then estimated effective combined federal and state tax rate, related to the realization of excess tax benefits
on stock-based compensation. See the related discussion above under “Cash Flows – Operating Activities” for
additional details.
41
Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $1.4 million in 2013 compared to $16.1 million in 2012. For
2013, net long-term debt borrowings of $5.3 million included borrowings on the 2012 Credit Facility to fund the
September 2013 acquisitions that were offset in part by net debt repayments. As of December 31, 2013,
availability under the revolving line of credit was approximately $22.9 million.
For 2012, net borrowings on the Company’s revolving line of credit of $16.9 million that were offset in part by (i)
$0.8 million in scheduled principal payments on the 10% Promissory Note issued in September 2011 to the seller of
AIA, and (ii) the optional prepayment on each of March 30, 2012 and June 29, 2012 of $770,000 or 10% of the
combined $7.7 million original principal amount of the Company’s March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes.
In addition, the Company used initial borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility in part to prepay in full the
remaining combined principal outstanding of $6.16 million of its March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes at
a price of 104% of the principal amount prepaid plus accrued interest and to prepay the remaining $1.0 million of
principal outstanding of the Promissory Note (reflected as net short-term debt payments). In addition, the
Company used additional borrowings of approximately $19.8 million under the 2012 Credit Facility to fund the
acquisition of Middlebury Hardwoods.
Capital Resources
2012 Credit Facility
On October 24, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association as the agent and lender (“Wells Fargo”), and Fifth-Third as participant (“Fifth-
Third”), to establish a five-year $80.0 million revolving secured senior credit facility (the “2012 Credit Facility”).
On June 26, 2014 and November 7, 2014, the Company entered into amendments to the 2012 Credit Agreement
to increase the maximum borrowing limit under the revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) to $125.0 million and
$165.0 million, respectively, and to add Key Bank as a participant (together with Wells Fargo and Fifth-Third, the
“Lenders”). On February 13, 2015, the 2012 Credit Agreement was further amended to expand the 2012 Credit
Facility to $185.0 million.
The 2012 Credit Agreement is secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a
Security Agreement, dated October 24, 2012, between the Company and Wells Fargo, as agent. The 2012 Credit
Agreement includes certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements and includes the following provisions:
(cid:120) The maturity date for the 2012 Credit Facility is October 24, 2017;
(cid:120) The interest rates for borrowings under the Revolver are the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or the London
Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the Applicable Margin, with a fee payable by the Company on unused but
committed portions of the Revolver;
(cid:120) The Revolver includes a sub-limit up to $5 million for same day advances (“Swing Line”) which shall bear interest
based upon the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;
(cid:120) Up to $20 million of the Revolver will be available as a sub-facility for the issuance of standby letters of credit,
which are subject to certain expiration dates;
(cid:120) The financial covenants include requirements as to a consolidated total leverage ratio and a consolidated interest
coverage ratio, and other covenants include limitations on permitted acquisitions, capital expenditures,
indebtedness, restricted payments, and fundamental changes (see further details below); and
(cid:120) Customary prepayment provisions which require the prepayment of outstanding amounts under the Revolver
based on predefined conditions.
At December 31, 2014 the Company had $101.1 million outstanding under its Revolver which consisted of $97.0
million of borrowings under the LIBOR-based option and $4.1 million of borrowings under the Base Rate-based
option. The interest rate for borrowings under the Revolver at December 31, 2014 was the Prime Rate plus 0.50%
(or 3.75%), or LIBOR plus 1.50% (or 1.6875%). At December 31, 2013, the Company had $55.0 million of
borrowings outstanding, all of which was under the LIBOR-based option of LIBOR plus 1.50% (or 1.6875%). The fee
payable on committed but unused portions of the Revolver was 0.20% for both of these periods.
42
Pursuant to the 2012 Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include (a) a maximum consolidated total leverage
ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, not to exceed 3.50:1.00 for the 12 month period ending on such quarter-
end; (b) a required minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio under the Revolver, measured on a quarter-end
basis, of at least 2.25:1.00 for the 12 month period ending on such quarter-end; and (c) a limitation on annual
capital expenditures of $12.0 million for 2013 and $10.0 million for 2014 and for subsequent fiscal years, exclusive
of acquisitions. If the consolidated total leverage ratio is in excess of 3.00:1.00 and less than 3.50:1.00, the
Company is considered to be in compliance with this financial covenant provided it maintains an asset coverage
ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the close of each period.
The consolidated total leverage ratio is the ratio for any period of (i) consolidated total indebtedness to (ii)
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). Consolidated total indebtedness for
any period is the sum of (i) total debt outstanding under the Revolver, (ii) capital leases and letters of credit
outstanding, and (iii) deferred payment obligations. The asset coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of (i)
eligible amounts of the Company’s trade payables, inventory and fixed assets, minus certain reserves as defined
under the 2012 Credit Agreement to (ii) the sum of outstanding obligations under the 2012 Credit Facility.
The consolidated interest coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of (i) EBITDA minus depreciation to (ii) the sum
of consolidated interest expense plus restricted payments made by the Company.
In 2014 and 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants at each reporting date as required
under the terms of the 2012 Credit Agreement. The required maximum total leverage ratio, minimum interest
coverage ratio, and the annual capital expenditures limitation amounts compared to the actual amounts as of and
for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2014 are as follows:

Secured Senior Subordinated Notes
March 2011 and September 2011 Notes
In March 2011, the Company issued $2.5 million principal amount of Secured Senior Subordinated Notes (the
“March 2011 Notes”) to each of Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund II, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited
partnership (“TCOMF2”) and Northcreek Mezzanine Fund I, L.P. (“Northcreek”), or $5.0 million in the aggregate.
In September 2011, the Company issued in the aggregate $2.7 million principal amount of Secured Senior
Subordinated Notes (the “September 2011 Notes”) to Northcreek and an affiliate of Northcreek. In 2012, the
Company repaid in full the remaining principal amount of its March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes.
Subordinated Secured Promissory Note
In connection with the AIA acquisition in 2011, the Company issued a 10% promissory note to the seller of AIA in
the principal amount of $2.0 million, which was repaid in full in 2012.
2008 Warrants
In 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock to its then existing lenders (the “2008
Warrants”). In 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 291,856 net shares of common stock to the remaining
holders that exercised the remaining 2008 Warrants in cashless exercises. In addition, the Company recognized a
stock warrants revaluation expense of $1.7 million in 2012 that represented the non-cash charges related to mark-
to-market accounting for the 2008 Warrants. As of December 31, 2012, all of the 2008 Warrants had been
exercised.

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, which includes selling our products and collecting
receivables, available cash reserves and borrowing capacity available under the 2012 Credit Facility. Our principal
uses of cash are to support working capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support our capital
allocation strategy, which includes acquisitions, capital expenditures, and repurchases of the Company’s common
stock, among others.
Borrowings under the revolving line of credit under the 2012 Credit Facility are subject to a maximum borrowing
limit of $165.0 million (as of December 31, 2014) and of $185.0 million (effective February 13, 2015) and are
subject to variable rates of interest. The unused availability under the 2012 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014
was $63.1 million (excluding cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014). We believe that our existing
cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our 2012 Credit
Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at
least the next 12 months, based on our current cash flow budgets and forecasts of our short-term and long-term
liquidity needs.
Our ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the 2012 Credit Facility as a source of liquidity is dependent
on our maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the 2012 Credit
Agreement. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we were in compliance with all of our debt
covenants at each reporting date as required under the terms of the 2012 Credit Agreement. Based on our 2015
operating plan, we expect to continue to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under the 2012 Credit
Agreement in 2015.
In 2015, our management team is focused on increasing market share, maintaining margins, keeping costs aligned
with revenue, further improving operating efficiencies, managing inventory levels and pricing, acquiring businesses
and product lines that meet established criteria, and the ongoing implementation of our new ERP system at our
operating divisions that have not yet been converted, all of which may impact our sources and uses of cash from
period to period and impact our liquidity levels. In addition, future liquidity and capital resources may be impacted
as we continue to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage our operating platform
and to repurchase common stock in conjunction with the Company’s previously announced stock buyback
program.
Our working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes primarily
related to the RV and MH industries, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of our customers. In the
event that our operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of our capital resources were to become
unavailable, we would seek to revise our operating strategies accordingly. We will continue to assess our liquidity
position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of our operating performance, current economic
and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2014, and the future periods

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The SEC has defined a company’s most critical
accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of
operations, and which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Although management believes that its
estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available when they are made.
Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other
significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has
identified the following critical accounting policies and judgments:
Trade Receivables. We are engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of building products and material for
use primarily by the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries and other industrial markets. Trade
receivables consist primarily of amounts due to us from our normal business activities. We control credit risk
related to our trade receivables through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and perform
ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. In assessing the carrying value of its trade receivables, the Company
estimates the recoverability by making assumptions based on factors such as current overall and industry-specific
45
economic conditions, historical and anticipated customer performance, historical write-off and collection
experience, the level of past-due amounts, and specific risks identified in the accounts receivable portfolio.
Additional changes to the allowance could be necessary in the future if a customer’s creditworthiness deteriorates,
or if actual defaults are higher than the Company’s historical experience. Any difference could result in an increase
or decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method) or market. Based on the
inventory aging and other considerations for realizable value, the Company writes down the carrying value to
market value where appropriate. The Company reviews inventory on-hand and records provisions for obsolete
inventory based on current assessments of future demands, market conditions, and related management
initiatives. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the
Company’s inventory and operating results. Based on the Company’s estimates and assumptions, an allowance for
inventory obsolescence of $1.8 million, $1.3 million, and $1.1 million was established at December 31, 2014, 2013
and 2012, respectively. If market conditions or customer requirements change and are less favorable than those
projected by management, inventory allowances are adjusted accordingly.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets, other than
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the
assets might be impaired and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are
less than the carrying amount of those items. Events that may indicate that certain long-lived assets might be
impaired include a significant downturn in the economy or the RV or MH industries, and/or a loss of a major
customer or several customers. Our cash flow estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect our best
estimate of future market and operating conditions and forecasts. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable
is reduced to fair value. Our estimates of fair value represent our best estimate based on industry trends and
reference to market rates and transactions. The recoverability of PP&E is evaluated whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on
estimated selling price, appraised value or projected future cash flows. No events or changes in circumstances
occurred that required the Company to assess the recoverability of its property and equipment for the years ended
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and therefore the Company has not recognized any impairment charges for
those years.
All of the Company’s goodwill and long-lived asset impairment assessments are based on established fair value
techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis. These analyses require management to estimate both future
cash flows and an appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the current business model. The
assumptions supporting valuation models, including discount rates, are determined using the best estimates as of
the date of the impairment review. These estimates are subject to significant uncertainty, and differences in
actual future results may require further impairment charges, which may be significant.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets. The Company has made acquisitions in the past
that included goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of
the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets acquired are classified as customer relationships, non-compete
agreements, and trademarks.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets such as trademarks are not amortized but are subject to an annual
(or under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test in the fourth quarter based on their estimated
fair value. We test more frequently, if there are indicators of impairment, or whenever such circumstances
suggest that the carrying value of goodwill or trademarks may not be recoverable. These indicators include a
sustained significant decline in our share price and market capitalization, a decline in our expected future cash
flows, or a significant adverse change in the business climate. A significant adverse change in the business climate
could result in a significant loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth.
No material events occurred during 2014, 2013 or 2012 that indicated the existence of impairment with respect to
our reported goodwill, trademarks, or other intangible assets.
Goodwill and other intangible assets are allocated to the Company’s reporting units at the date they are initially
recorded. We perform impairment reviews of goodwill at the reporting unit level, one level below the business
46
segment. A reporting unit constitutes a business for which discrete profit and loss financial information is
available. The Company’s reportable segments, Manufacturing and Distribution, are those based on the
Company’s method of internal reporting, which segregates its businesses by product category and
production/distribution process.
Once goodwill has been allocated to a reporting unit, it generally no longer retains its identification with a
particular acquisition, but instead becomes identified with the reporting unit as a whole. The Company’s
Manufacturing segment includes goodwill originating from the acquisitions of Gravure Ink (acquired in the Adorn
Holdings, Inc. acquisition), Quality Hardwoods Sales, AIA, Infinity Graphics, Décor, Creative Wood, Middlebury
Hardwoods, Frontline, Premier, Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston. While Gravure Ink, AIA, Infinity
Graphics, Décor, Creative Wood, Middlebury Hardwoods, Frontline, Premier, Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and
Charleston remain reporting units of the Company for which impairment is assessed, Quality Hardwoods is
assessed for impairment as part of the Company’s hardwood door reporting unit. The Company’s Distribution
segment includes goodwill originating from the acquisitions of Blazon, West Side and Foremost, which remain
reporting units for which impairment is assessed.
Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also
subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist.
Newly acquired indefinite-lived assets are more vulnerable to impairments as the assets are recorded at fair value
and are then subsequently measured at the lower of fair value or carrying value at the end of each reporting
period. As such, immediately after acquisition, even a small decline in the outlook for these products can
negatively impact our ability to recover the carrying value and can result in an impairment loss.
In 2012, we changed our methodology of evaluating goodwill for impairment. Based on revised guidance issued by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), we chose the option to first perform a qualitative assessment
of the composition of the Company’s goodwill for impairment for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and
2012. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is
less than its carrying value, the Company then performs a quantitative assessment. When estimating fair value
with the quantitative assessment, the Company calculates the present value of future cash flows based on
projected future operating results and business plans, forecasted sales volumes, discount rates, comparable
marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping, current industry and economic
conditions, and historical results. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill and other intangible assets
are not impaired and no further steps are required.
Based on the results of our qualitative analysis, and where determined appropriate, our quantitative assessment
analysis, we determined that the estimated fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value for each of our
reporting units within the Manufacturing segment and within the Distribution segment. The goodwill allocated
to the Manufacturing and Distribution segment reporting units as of December 31, 2014 was $25.6 million and
$6.3 million, respectively. The comparable goodwill asset balances at December 31, 2013 were $13.7 million and
$2.8 million, respectively.
Our qualitative assessment included an evaluation of macroeconomic conditions, RV and MH industry and market
considerations including wholesale unit shipment levels, cost factors including price fluctuations on major
commodities both purchased for use in various manufactured products and for distribution to customers, overall
financial performance of the Company including the ability to re-finance our credit facility under more favorable
terms, completion of acquisitions, an increase in our product line offerings and an expansion of our customer base,
changes in our stock price valuation, and other relevant specific events.
In addition, there are no long-lived assets or asset groups, including tangible assets, for which we have determined
that undiscounted cash flows are not substantially in excess of the carrying value or that could materially impact
our operating results or total shareholders’ equity.
We have not made any other material changes to our methods of evaluating goodwill and intangible asset
impairments during the last two years other than the performance of a qualitative assessment to test goodwill for
47
impairment in 2014 and 2013. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material
change in the estimates or assumptions used to determine impairment in the foreseeable future.
Deferred Income Taxes. The carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets assumes that the Company will
be able to generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize these deferred tax assets. If these
assumptions change, the Company may be required to record valuation allowances against its gross deferred tax
assets, which would cause the Company to record additional income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated
statements of income. Management evaluates the potential the Company will be able to realize its gross deferred
tax assets and assesses the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. There was no tax valuation
allowance at December 31, 2014 and 2013. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
details.
OTHER
Sale of Property
Not applicable.
Purchase of Property
In July 2014, the Company acquired (i) four owned facilities that housed the manufacturing operations pertaining
to the acquisition of Precision. In November 2014, the Company acquired two owned facilities that housed the
manufacturing operations pertaining to the acquisition of Charleston.
Inflation
The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, particleboard, aluminum and components
used by the Company that are made from these raw materials, 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 2014. During periods of rising
commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass the increased costs to our customers in the form of
surcharges and price increases. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on results of operations for
the periods presented.
ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to market risk primarily in relation to our cash and short-term investments. The interest rate we
may earn on the cash we invest in short-term investments is subject to market fluctuations. We utilize a mix of
investment maturities based on our anticipated cash needs and evaluation of existing interest rates and market
conditions. While we attempt to minimize market risk and maximize return, changes in market conditions may
significantly affect the income we earn on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
At December 31, 2014, our total debt obligations under our 2012 Credit Agreement were under either LIBOR-
based or prime rate-based interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the underlying LIBOR and prime rates
would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $1.0 million, assuming average related revolving
debt subject to variable rates of $101.1 million, which was the amount of related borrowings at December 31,
2014 subject to variable rates.

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. 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, required 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.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined
in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the fair and reliable preparation and presentation of our published financial
statements. We continually evaluate our system of internal control over financial reporting to determine if
changes are appropriate based upon changes in our operations or the business environment in which we operate.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting based on the framework in the 1992 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). This assessment included a review of the
documentation of controls, an assessment of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating
effectiveness of controls, and a conclusion on this evaluation. As permitted under SEC guidance, management’s
assessment of and conclusion regarding the design and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
excluded the internal control over financial reporting of the operations of businesses acquired in 2014, which are
described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that
our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP, audited our internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, as stated in their report in the section entitled “Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, which expresses an
unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2014.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter
ended December 31, 2014 or subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation, that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Patrick Industries, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Patrick Industries, Inc. and
subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of income, comprehensive
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014.
We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria
established in the 1992 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the
company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting
was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit
of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures,
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
As permitted, the Company has excluded the operations of businesses acquired during 2014, which are described in
Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements, from the scope of the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. As such, they have also been excluded from the scope of our audit of
internal control over financial reporting.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Patrick Industries, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria
established in the 1992 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

PATRICK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
Patrick Industries, Inc. (“Patrick” or the “Company”) operations consist of the manufacture and distribution of
building products and materials for use primarily by the recreational vehicle (“RV”), manufactured housing (“MH”),
and industrial markets for customers throughout the United States and Canada. The Company maintains 32
manufacturing plants and 16 distribution facilities located in 10 states. Patrick operates in two business segments:
Manufacturing and Distribution.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patrick and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Adorn Holdings, Inc. (“Adorn”). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unallocated expenses, when combined with the operating
segments and after the elimination of intersegment revenues, total to the amounts included in the consolidated
financial statements.
In preparation of Patrick’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014, management evaluated all
material subsequent events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date of
issuance of the Form 10-K for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. See
Notes 4, 9, 14 and 18 for events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the valuation of goodwill, the valuation of long-lived assets, the
allowance for doubtful accounts, excess and obsolete inventories, and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
Actual results could differ from the amounts reported.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Revenue Recognition
The Company ships product based on specific orders from customers and revenue is recognized at the time of
passage of title and risk of loss to the customer, which is generally upon delivery. The Company’s selling price is
fixed and determined at the time of shipment and collectability is reasonably assured and not contingent upon the
customer’s use or resale of the product.
The Company records freight billed to customers in net sales and the corresponding costs incurred for shipping and
handling are recorded in warehouse and delivery expenses. The amounts recorded in warehouse and delivery
expenses related to these customer billed freight costs were $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million for 2014,
2013 and 2012, respectively.
Estimated costs related to customer volume rebates and sales incentives are accrued as a reduction of revenue at
the time products are sold.
F-8
Costs and Expenses
Cost of goods sold includes material costs, direct and indirect labor, overhead expenses, inbound freight charges,
inspection costs, internal transfer costs, receiving costs, and other costs.
Warehouse and delivery expenses include salaries and wages, building rent and insurance, and other overhead
costs related to distribution operations and delivery costs related to the shipment of finished and distributed
products to customers. Purchasing costs are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.
Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock units, and warrants (collectively “Common Stock Equivalents”). The dilutive
effect of Common Stock Equivalents is calculated under the treasury stock method using the average market price
for the period. Certain Common Stock Equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted net income per
common share because the exercise prices of those Common Stock Equivalents were greater than the average
market price of the common shares. See Note 15 for the calculation of both basic and diluted net income per
common share.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from its normal business activities. In
assessing the carrying value of its trade receivables, the Company estimates the recoverability by making
assumptions based on factors such as current overall and industry-specific economic conditions, historical and
anticipated customer performance, historical write-off and collection experience, the level of past-due amounts,
and specific risks identified in the trade receivables portfolio.
The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method) or market. Based on the inventory
aging and other considerations for realizable value, the Company writes down the carrying value to market value
where appropriate. The Company reviews inventory on-hand and records provisions for obsolete inventory based
on current assessments of future demands, market conditions, and related management initiatives. Any
significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s
inventory and operating results. The cost of manufactured inventories includes raw materials, inbound freight,
labor and overhead. The Company’s distribution inventories include the cost of raw materials and inbound freight.
F-9
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is generally recorded at cost. However, PP&E acquired in connection with
an acquisition is recorded at fair value. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method applied to
individual items based on estimated useful lives, which generally range from 10 to 30 years for buildings and
improvements, and from three to seven years for machinery, equipment and transportation equipment.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the related lease term. When
properties are retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit
or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Long-lived assets other than goodwill and intangible assets that
are held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair market value less the estimated cost to
sell. The recoverability of PP&E is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on estimated selling price, appraised value
or projected future cash flows.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method and are
recorded at their respective fair values. Upon acquisition, goodwill and other intangible assets are assigned to
reporting units which are one level below the Company’s business segments. Goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an annual (or under certain circumstances more frequent)
impairment test based on their estimated fair value. The Company performs the required test for goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment in the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. Finite-lived intangible assets relate to
customer relationships and non-compete agreements. Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria
continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated
undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations
are initially recorded at their estimated fair values as determined by an income valuation approach using Level III
fair value inputs.
The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process, which requires the Company to make assumptions regarding
fair value. First, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. In 2012, the Company
changed its methodology for evaluating goodwill for impairment. Based on revised guidance issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of the
composition of its goodwill for impairment. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that
the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company then performs a quantitative
assessment. When estimating fair value with the quantitative assessment, the Company calculates the present
value of future cash flows based on projected future operating results and business plans, forecasted sales
volumes, discount rates, comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping,
current industry and economic conditions, and historical results. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value,
goodwill and other intangible assets are not impaired and no further steps are required.
If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the second step is completed to compute the impairment
amount by determining the “implied fair value” of goodwill. This determination requires the allocation of the
estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any remaining
unallocated fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is compared to the corresponding
carrying value to compute the goodwill impairment amount that is recorded and charged to operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When events or conditions warrant, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets other than
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and considers whether these assets are impaired. The Company
assesses the recoverability of these assets based upon several factors, including management's intention with
respect to the assets and their projected future undiscounted cash flows. If projected undiscounted cash flows are
less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company adjusts the carrying amounts of such assets to their
F-10
estimated fair value. A significant adverse change in the Company’s business climate in future periods could result
in a significant loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth and could lead
to a required assessment of the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets, which may subsequently result
in an impairment charge.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are classified as non-current assets on the statement of financial position and are
amortized over the life of the related debt or credit facility using the straight-line method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, debt and
accounts payable. The Company believes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable are
recorded at amounts that approximate their current market values because of the relatively short maturities of
these financial instruments. The carrying value of the long-term debt instruments approximates the fair value
based upon terms and conditions available to the Company in comparison to the terms and conditions of the
outstanding debt.
The Company follows accounting guidance on fair value measurements, which defines fair value as the exchange
price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard
describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 inputs – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity
has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; and other inputs that are observable or can
be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 inputs – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for
deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized in the current year to the extent future
deferred tax liability timing differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for
the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets may not be realized.
The Company reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to
unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which will
supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of the guidance is
that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and
cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets
recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance is effective for annual and interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted.
The guidance permits two methods of transition upon adoption: full retrospective and modified retrospective.
Under the full retrospective method, prior periods would be restated under the new revenue standard, providing a
comparable view across all periods presented. Under the modified retrospective method, prior periods would not
be restated. Rather, revenues and other disclosures for pre-2017 periods would be provided in the notes to the
financial statements as previously reported under the current revenue standard. The impact from the adoption of
this guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements has not been determined at this time. The
Company is also working to determine the appropriate method of transition to the guidance.
Stock Compensation
In June 2014, the FASB issued revised guidance on accounting for share-based payments that will require that a
performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a
performance condition. The revised guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this
guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the implementation of this guidance will have on its
results of operations or financial condition.
4. ACQUISITIONS
General
The Company completed a total of 11 acquisitions in the three years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 as
discussed below. Each of the acquisitions was funded through borrowings under the Company’s credit facility in
existence at the time of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the individual acquisitions were
recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position at their estimated fair values as of the
respective dates of acquisition.
The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill,
which represents the value of leveraging the Company’s existing purchasing, manufacturing, sales, and systems
resources with the organizational talent and expertise of the acquired companies’ respective management teams
to maximize efficiencies, revenue impact, market share growth, and net income. Intangible asset values were
estimated using income based valuation methodologies. The disclosure of the amortization periods assigned to
finite-lived intangible assets is more fully disclosed in Note 7.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, revenue of approximately $56 million, $12 million and
$29 million, respectively, was included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income pertaining to the
businesses acquired in each such year.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, operating income of approximately $3.1 million, $0.2
million and $1.3 million, respectively, was included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income
pertaining to the businesses acquired in each such year. Acquisition-related costs in the aggregate
associated with the businesses acquired in 2014, 2013 and 2012 were immaterial.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, no events or changes in circumstances occurred that required
the Company to assess the recoverability of its property, plant and equipment, and therefore the Company did not
recognize any impairment charges.
7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and other intangible assets are allocated to the Company’s reporting units at the date they are initially
recorded. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an impairment test
based on their estimated fair value performed annually in the fourth quarter (or under certain circumstances more
frequently as warranted). Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, one level below
the business segment. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes goodwill originating from the acquisitions
of Gravure Ink (acquired in the Adorn acquisition), Quality Hardwoods Sales (“Quality Hardwoods”), A.I.A.
Countertops, LLC (“AIA”), Infinity Graphics, Décor, Creative Wood, Middlebury Hardwoods, Frontline, Premier,
Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3, and Charleston. While Gravure Ink, AIA, Infinity Graphics, Décor, Creative Wood,
Middlebury Hardwoods, Frontline, Premier, Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and Charleston remain reporting units
of the Company for which impairment is assessed, Quality Hardwoods is assessed for impairment as part of the
Company’s hardwood door reporting unit. The Company’s Distribution segment includes goodwill originating from
the acquisitions of Blazon International Group (“Blazon”), West Side and Foremost, which remain reporting units
for which impairment is assessed.
Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are
subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist. The
Company assesses finite-lived intangible assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying value may exceed the fair value.
There was no impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013
and 2012.
The Company acquired the following intangible assets in various acquisitions from 2012 through 2014 that were
determined to be business combinations. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax
purposes. See Note 4 for further details.

Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, non-compete agreements and trademarks. Customer
relationships and non-compete agreements represent finite-lived intangible assets that have been recorded in the
Manufacturing and Distribution segments along with related amortization expense. As of December 31, 2014, the
remaining intangible assets balance of $49.5 million is comprised of $9.0 million of trademarks which have an
indefinite life, and therefore, no amortization expense has been recorded, and $40.5 million pertaining to
customer relationships and non-compete agreements which are being amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 19
years.
For the finite-lived intangible assets attributable to the 2014 acquisitions, the useful life pertaining to non-compete
agreements was three years for Precision, PolyDyn3 and Charleston, and five years for Foremost. The useful life
pertaining to customer relationships for each of the 2014 acquisitions (Precision, Foremost, PolyDyn3 and
Charleston) was 10 years. Trademarks have an indefinite life, and therefore, no amortization expense has been
recorded.
Amortization expense for the Company’s intangible assets in the aggregate was $4.5 million, $2.4 million and $1.5
million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
2008 Warrants Subject to Revaluation
In 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock to its then existing lenders (the “2008
Warrants”). In 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 291,856 net shares of common stock to the remaining
holders that exercised the remaining 2008 Warrants in cashless exercises. In addition, the Company recognized a
stock warrants revaluation expense of $1.7 million in 2012 that represented the non-cash charges related to mark-
to-market accounting for the 2008 Warrants. As of December 31, 2012, all of the 2008 Warrants had been
exercised.
9. DEBT
Total long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $101.1 million and $55.0
million, respectively.
2012 Credit Facility
On October 24, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association as the agent and lender (“Wells Fargo”), and Fifth-Third as participant (“Fifth-
Third”), to establish a five-year $80.0 million revolving secured senior credit facility (the “2012 Credit Facility”).
On June 26, 2014 and November 7, 2014, the Company entered into amendments to the 2012 Credit Agreement
to increase the maximum borrowing limit under the revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) to $125.0 million and
$165.0 million, respectively, and to add Key Bank as a participant (together with Wells Fargo and Fifth-Third, the
“Lenders”). On February 13, 2015, the 2012 Credit Agreement was further amended to expand the 2012 Credit
Facility to $185.0 million.
F-22
The 2012 Credit Agreement is secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a
Security Agreement, dated October 24, 2012, between the Company and Wells Fargo, as agent. The 2012 Credit
Agreement includes certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements and includes the following provisions:
(cid:120) The maturity date for the 2012 Credit Facility is October 24, 2017;
(cid:120) The interest rates for borrowings under the Revolver are the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or the London
Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the Applicable Margin, with a fee payable by the Company on unused but
committed portions of the Revolver;
(cid:120) The Revolver includes a sub-limit up to $5.0 million for same day advances (“Swing Line”) which shall bear
interest based upon the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;
(cid:120) Up to $20.0 million of the Revolver will be available as a sub-facility for the issuance of standby letters of credit,
which are subject to certain expiration dates;
(cid:120) The financial covenants include requirements as to a consolidated total leverage ratio and a consolidated interest
coverage ratio, and other covenants include limitations on permitted acquisitions, capital expenditures,
indebtedness, restricted payments, and fundamental changes (see further details below); and
(cid:120) Customary prepayment provisions, which require the prepayment of outstanding amounts under the Revolver
based on predefined conditions.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had $101.1 million outstanding under its Revolver, which consisted of $97.0
million of borrowings under the LIBOR-based option and $4.1 million of borrowings under the Base Rate-based
option. The interest rate for borrowings under the Revolver at December 31, 2014 was the Prime Rate plus 0.50%
(or 3.75%), or LIBOR plus 1.50% (or 1.6875%). At December 31, 2013, the Company had $55.0 million of
borrowings outstanding, all of which was under the LIBOR-based option of LIBOR plus 1.50% (or 1.6875%). The fee
payable on committed but unused portions of the Revolver was 0.20% for both of these periods.
Pursuant to the 2012 Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include (a) a maximum consolidated total leverage
ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, not to exceed 3.50:1.00 for the 12 month period ending on such quarter-
end; (b) a required minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio under the Revolver, measured on a quarter-end
basis, of at least 2.25:1.00 for the 12 month period ending on such quarter-end; and (c) a limitation on annual
capital expenditures of $12.0 million for 2013 and $10.0 million for 2014 and for subsequent fiscal years, exclusive
of acquisitions. If the consolidated total leverage ratio is in excess of 3.00:1.00 and less than 3.50:1.00, the
Company is considered to be in compliance with this financial covenant provided it maintains an asset coverage
ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the close of each period.
The consolidated total leverage ratio is the ratio for any period of (i) consolidated total indebtedness to (ii)
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). Consolidated total indebtedness for
any period is the sum of (i) total debt outstanding under the Revolver, (ii) capital leases and letters of credit
outstanding, and (iii) deferred payment obligations. The asset coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of (i)
eligible amounts of the Company’s trade payables, inventory and fixed assets, minus certain reserves as defined
under the 2012 Credit Agreement to (ii) the sum of outstanding obligations under the 2012 Credit Facility.
The consolidated interest coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of (i) EBITDA minus depreciation to (ii) the sum
of consolidated interest expense plus restricted payments made by the Company.
In 2014 and 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants at each reporting date as required
under the terms of the 2012 Credit Agreement. The required maximum total leverage ratio, minimum interest
coverage ratio, and the annual capital expenditures limitation amounts compared to the actual amounts as of and
for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2014 are as follows:

Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the next five years ending December 31 are: 2015 - 2016: $0; and 2017-
$101.1 million. The revolver long-term debt balance of $101.1 million at December 31, 2014 is due to mature in
2017 in accordance with the terms of the 2012 Credit Facility.
The Company was contingently liable for three standby letters of credit totaling $0.8 million at December 31, 2014
that exist to meet credit requirements for the Company’s insurance providers. The unused availability under the
2012 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014 was $63.1 million.
Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands) was $2,393, $2,171, and
$4,037, respectively.
Interest paid for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands) was $2,368, $2,225, and
$3,907, respectively.
Prior to October 24, 2012, the Company’s debt financing was supported by its credit agreement, dated March 31,
2011, as amended, among the Company, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“WFCF”), as the lender and agent, and
Fifth-Third as participant (the “2011 Credit Agreement”), which consisted of a $50.0 million revolving secured
senior credit facility (the “2011 Credit Facility”). The 2012 Credit Facility replaced the 2011 Credit Facility, which
was scheduled to mature on March 31, 2015.
Secured Senior Subordinated Notes
March 2011 and September 2011 Notes
In March 2011, the Company issued $2.5 million principal amount of Secured Senior Subordinated Notes (the
“March 2011 Notes”) to each of Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund II, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited
partnership (“TCOMF2”) and Northcreek Mezzanine Fund I, L.P. (“Northcreek”), or $5.0 million in the aggregate.
In September 2011, the Company issued in the aggregate $2.7 million principal amount of Secured Senior
Subordinated Notes (the “September 2011 Notes”) to Northcreek and an affiliate of Northcreek. In 2012, the
Company repaid in full the remaining principal amount of its March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes.
Subordinated Secured Promissory Note
In connection with the AIA acquisition in 2011, the Company issued a 10% promissory note to the seller of AIA in
the principal amount of $2.0 million, which was repaid in full in 2012.
10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Level 2 represents financial instruments lacking quoted prices (unadjusted) from active market exchanges,
including over-the-counter exchange-traded financial instruments. The prices for the financial instruments are
determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly
or indirectly observable inputs. Financial instruments included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy included the
2008 Warrants (until the remaining warrants were exercised in 2012). See Note 8 for further details.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximated fair
value as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 because of the relatively short maturities of these financial instruments.
The carrying amount of long-term debt approximated fair value as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, based upon
terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its
outstanding long-term debt.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement
and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in deductible or taxable amounts in the future based on
enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
income. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the current period plus or minus the change in
deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.
The Company evaluates current conditions in the RV, MH and residential housing markets, and overall credit
markets, as well as consumer confidence and the general economy in the U.S. to determine sustainability of the
Company’s levels of profitability in the future. In the absence of specific favorable factors, the Company evaluates
recording a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in a tax jurisdiction when it has cumulative financial
accounting losses in recent years.
F-25
As of January 1, 2012, the Company had a tax valuation allowance (the “Valuation Allowance”) for deferred tax
assets net of deferred tax liabilities (collectively, “Net Deferred Tax Assets”) not expected to be utilized of $15.6
million. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company determined that it was likely that its Net Deferred Tax Assets
would be realized based upon sustained profitability and forecasted future operating results. As a result of this
determination, the Company reversed approximately $6.8 million of the Valuation Allowance in 2012, exclusive of
the reversal expected to result from the Company’s estimated full year tax provision (the “2012 Tax Provision”),
with the reversal recorded as a non-cash income tax credit. Excluding the $6.8 million reversal of the Valuation
Allowance discussed above, the Company’s 2012 Tax Provision based on its taxable income position approximated
$8.8 million, which was fully offset by the reversal of the remaining Valuation Allowance.
The Valuation Allowance did not impact the Company’s ability to utilize its federal and state net operating loss
carry forwards (the “NOLs”) to offset taxable earnings for federal and state tax purposes. In 2013, the Company
fully utilized its remaining gross federal NOL carry forward of approximately $9.8 million. In addition, the Company
had various state NOLs of approximately $12.6 million at December 31, 2012 and $4.5 million at December 31,
2013, of which approximately $1.6 million were remaining to be utilized as of December 31, 2014 and will expire in
varying amounts between 2015 and 2030. While the Company recorded income taxes at an estimated full year
effective rate of 37.5% in 2014 and 38% in 2013, the federal and state NOLs were used to partially offset the cash
portion of the income tax liability for 2013 and, with respect to state NOLs only, 2014.
As of December 31, 2012, both the federal and state NOLs included approximately $3.7 million of taxable
deductions related to unrealized excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been recorded as
deferred tax assets. In 2014 and 2013, the Company realized approximately $2.7 million and $2.4 million,
respectively, of additional taxable deductions related to excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had
not been recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012. These tax benefits were recorded to
shareholders’ equity upon realization in 2014 and 2013.
The Company did not reflect any unrecognized tax benefits in its financial statements as of December 31, 2014 or
December 31, 2013 and does not expect any significant changes relating to unrecognized tax benefits in the twelve
months following December 31, 2014.
The composition of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:
(thousands)

NOLs exceeding the Company’s taxable income, there were no federal or state income taxes paid in the year
ended December 31, 2012 and virtually no other cash taxes paid other than franchise taxes and various state filing
taxes.
The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic tax authorities. For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the
U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the years 2011 and later.
13. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, without par value, the issuance of which is
subject to approval by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board has the authority to fix the number, rights,
preferences and limitations of the shares, subject to applicable laws and the provisions of the Articles of
Incorporation.
Common Stock
The Company has 20,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, without par value, of which 10,333,720 shares
and 10,568,430 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company issued 110,040 shares in 2014, 121,723 shares in 2013, and 777,542 shares in 2012 related to stock-
based compensation plans and for the exercise of stock warrants and stock options. The shares issued were net of
repurchases made by the Company of 14,484 shares in 2014, 38,704 shares in 2013, and 38,864 shares in 2012 for
the sole purpose of satisfying the minimum tax withholding obligations of employees upon the vesting of stock
awards held by the employees.
In addition, in 2012, the Company issued 100,000 shares in connection with the acquisition of Décor. In 2014 and
2013, the Company repurchased 344,750 shares and 407,330 shares, respectively of its common stock through a
stock repurchase program. See Note 14 for further details.
The Company’s common stock does not have a stated par value. As a result, repurchases of common stock have
been reflected, using an average cost method, as a reduction of common stock, additional paid-in-capital and
retained earnings in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
U.S. GAAP defines comprehensive income as non-shareholder changes in equity. The components of and changes
in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were immaterial.
Shareholder Rights Plan
On March 21, 2006, in conjunction with the expiration of the Shareholder Rights Agreement dated March 20, 1996,
the Company’s Board adopted a Shareholder Rights Agreement granting new rights to holders of the Company’s
common stock. Under the agreement, the Company authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right
payable on March 31, 2006 for each share of common stock of the Company outstanding on March 31, 2006, and
F-27
the issuance of one right for each share of common stock subsequently issued prior to the separation date as
defined in the Shareholder Rights Agreement. Each right entitles the holder to purchase 1/100th of a preferred
share at the exercise price (currently $30.00), and in an unfriendly takeover situation, to purchase Company
common stock having a market value equal to two times the exercise price. Also, if the Company is merged into
another corporation, or if 50% or more of the Company’s assets are sold, then rights-holders are entitled, upon
payment of the exercise price, to buy common shares of the acquiring corporation’s common stock having a then
current market value equal to two times the exercise price. In either situation, these rights are not available to the
acquiring party. However, these exercise features will not be activated if the acquiring party makes an offer to
acquire all of the Company’s outstanding shares at a price that is judged by the Board to be fair to Patrick
shareholders. The rights may be redeemed by the Company under certain circumstances at the rate of $0.01 per
right. The rights will expire on March 21, 2016. The Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
Series A, no par value, in connection with this plan, none of which have been issued.
On March 12, 2008, in connection with a private placement of common stock with affiliates of TCOMF2
(collectively, “Tontine Capital”), the Company amended the provisions of the Shareholder Rights Agreement to
exempt all Tontine Capital entities or any of their affiliates or associates.
14. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In February 2013, the Company’s Board authorized a stock repurchase program for purchasing up to $10.0 million
of the Company’s common stock from time to time through open market or private transactions over the following
12 months. During 2013, the Company repurchased 407,330 shares at an average price of $14.92 for a total cost
of $6.1 million.
In February 2014, the Board authorized an increase in the amount of the Company‘s stock that may be acquired
under the existing stock repurchase program over the next 12 months to $20.0 million, including the remaining
amount available under the previous authorization. During 2014, the Company repurchased 344,750 shares at an
average price of $40.40 per share for a total cost of $13.9 million.
On February 17, 2015, the Board authorized an increase in the amount of the Company’s stock that may be
acquired under the existing stock repurchase program over the next 12 months to $20.0 million, including the
remaining amount available under the previous authorization. In the first quarter of 2015 through February 27,
2015, the Company repurchased 130,500 shares, including 100,000 shares purchased from a major stockholder in
a privately negotiated transaction, at an average price of $43.29 per share for a total cost of $5.7 million. Since the
inception of the stock repurchase program in February 2013 through February 27, 2015, the Company
repurchased, in the aggregate, 882,580 shares at an average price of $29.07 per share for a total cost of $25.7
million.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal
The Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, audits, and other claims arising in the normal course of business.
All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Accruals for
these items, when applicable, have been provided to the extent that losses are deemed probable and are
reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted from time to time as developments warrant.
Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained on the basis of present information,
amounts already provided, availability of insurance coverage and legal advice received, it is the opinion of
management that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Self-Insurance
The Company has a self-insured health plan for its employees under which there is both a participant stop-loss and
an aggregate stop-loss based on total participants. The Company is potentially responsible for annual claims not to
individually exceed $250,000 at December 31, 2014.
18. CO MPENSATION PLANS
Deferred Compensation Obligations
The Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain key employees. The agreements provide for
monthly benefits for ten years subsequent to retirement, disability, or death. The Company has accrued an
estimated liability based upon the present value of an annuity needed to provide the future benefit payments.
The assumed discount rate to measure the liability was 4.5% for both of the years ended December 31, 2014 and
2013. The Company recognized expense of $0.1 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the years ended
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in conjunction with this plan. Life insurance contracts have been
purchased which may be used to fund these agreements. The contracts are recorded at their cash surrender value
F-29
in the statements of financial position. Any differences between actual proceeds and cash surrender value are
recorded as gains or losses in the periods presented. Additionally, the Company records gains or losses on the
cash surrender value in the period incurred. The gains recognized were immaterial for all periods presented.
Bonus Plan
The Company pays bonuses to certain management and sales personnel. Historically, bonuses are determined
annually and are based upon corporate and divisional income levels and the achievement of individually defined
performance criteria. The charge to operations amounted to approximately $4.8 million, $4.2 million and $4.1
million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Profit-Sharing Plan
The Company has a qualified profit-sharing plan, more commonly known as a 401(k) plan, for all of its full-time and
part-time eligible employees upon meeting certain conditions. The plan provides for matching contributions by
the Company as defined in the agreement. The contributions and related expense for the years ended December
31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were immaterial.
Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Rights, and Stock-Based Incentive Plans
The Company has various stock option and stock-based incentive plans and various agreements whereby stock
options, restricted stock awards, and stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) were made available to certain key
employees, directors, and others based upon meeting various individual, divisional or company-wide performance
criteria and time-based criteria. All such awards qualify and are accounted for as equity awards. Equity incentive
plan awards are intended to retain and reward key employees for outstanding performance and efforts as they
relate to the Company’s short-term and long-term objectives and its strategic plan.
The Company’s 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the future granting of share options and share
awards to its employees, directors and other service providers. Option awards are generally granted with an
exercise price equal to, or greater than, the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.
The Company recorded compensation expense of $3.3 million, $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the years ended
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, on the consolidated statements of income for its stock-based
compensation plans. As of December 31, 2014, there was approximately $5.0 million of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under incentive plans. That cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 18.4 months.
Compensation expense related to the fair value of stock awards as of the grant date is calculated based on the
Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. In addition, the Company estimates the fair value of all stock
option and SARS awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of this
valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of
compensation expense and include the dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Expected volatilities take
into consideration the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of options and
SARS represents the period of time that the options and SARS granted are expected to be outstanding based on
historical Company trends. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time
of grant for instruments of a similar term.

Stock Options:
Stock options vest pro-ratably over three years and have nine to ten-year contractual terms.

The aggregate intrinsic value (excess of market value over the option exercise price) in the table above is before
income taxes, and assuming the Company’s closing stock price of $43.98, $28.93 and $15.56 per share as of
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is the price that would have been received by the option
holders had those option holders exercised their options as of that date.
The cash received from the exercise of stock options was approximately $26,000, $64,000 and $0.4 million in
2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The income tax benefit related to the stock options exercised in 2014, 2013
and 2012 was $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The grant date fair value of stock options
vested in 2014 and 2012 was $1.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively. There were no stock options that vested
in 2013.

As of December 31, 2014, there was approximately $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense
related to the stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of
approximately 23 months.
Stock Appreciation Rights (SARS):
On December 18, 2013, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board approved the grant of 200,000
SARS under the 2009 Plan divided into four tranches of 50,000 shares each, at strike prices of $27.67, $33.20,
$39.84 and $47.81 per share. The SARS vest pro-ratably over three years from the grant date and have nine-year
contractual terms. The SARS are to be settled in shares of common stock, or at the sole discretion of the Board
in cash. The grant date fair value of these awards totaled $0.9 million and this amount is being amortized over
the three-year vesting period. During 2014, SARS representing 66,667 shares in the aggregate, which equates to
one third of each tranche, vested and none were exercised. The intrinsic value of these vested SARS at
December 31, 2014 was $0.4 million, which was calculated based upon the Company’s closing stock price of
$43.98 on December 31, 2014. The remaining contractual life of the SARS is eight years at December 31, 2014.
The following table presents assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model for the SARS granted in 2013. There
were no SARS granted in 2012 and 2014.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units:
The Company’s stock-based awards consist of both restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). As
of December 31, 2014, there was approximately $3.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related
to restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of approximately 17
months.
In the first quarter of 2015, the Board approved restricted stock grants totaling 84,836 shares on February 16, 2015
at a grant date price per share of $46.96. The restricted shares cliff-vest over a three-year period based on
performance- and time-based contingencies. The Company expects to expense approximately $4.0 million related
to those shares pro-ratably over the vesting period on the consolidated statement of income.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock awards possess voting rights, are included in the calculation of actual shares outstanding, and
include both performance- and time-based contingencies. The grant date fair value of the awards is expensed over
the related service or performance period. Time-based shares cliff vest at the conclusion of the required service
period, which ranges from one to three years. The performance contingent shares are earned based on the
achievement of a cumulative financial performance target over a three-year period and vest at the conclusion of
the measurement period.

financial performance target over a three-year period and vest at the conclusion of the measurement period. In
2014, the Company granted 14,667 RSUs at a weighted-average grant date stock price of $37.22 per share.
19. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those based on its method of internal reporting,
which segregates its businesses by product category and production or distribution process.
A description of the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:
Manufacturing - The Company’s lamination operations utilize various materials, such as lauan, medium
density fiberboard (“MDF”), gypsum, and particleboard, which are bonded by adhesives or a heating process
to a number of products, including vinyl, paper, foil, and high-pressure laminates. These products are utilized
to produce furniture, shelving, wall, counter, and cabinet products with a wide variety of finishes and
textures. This segment also includes a cabinet door division, a fiberglass bath fixtures division, a hardwood
furniture division, a vinyl printing division, a solid surface, granite, and quartz countertop fabrication division,
an exterior graphics division, an RV painting division, a fabricated aluminum products division, a simulated
wood and stone products division, and a fiberglass and plastic components division. Patrick’s major
manufactured products also include wrapped vinyl, paper and hardwood profile mouldings, interior passage
F-33
doors, and slotwall panels and components. The Manufacturing segment contributed approximately 75%,
77% and 76% of the Company’s net sales for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012,
respectively.
Distribution – The Company distributes pre-finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall finishing
products, electronics, wiring, electrical and plumbing products, FRP products, cement siding, interior passage
doors, roofing products, laminate and ceramic flooring, shower doors, furniture, fireplaces and surrounds,
interior and exterior lighting products, and other miscellaneous products. The Distribution segment
contributed approximately 25%, 23% and 24% of the Company’s net sales for the years ended December 31,
2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, except that segment data
includes intersegment sales. Assets are identified to the segments with the exception of cash, prepaid expenses,
land and buildings, and certain deferred assets, which are identified with the corporate division. The corporate
division charges rents to the segments for use of the land and buildings based upon estimated market rates. The
Company accounts for intersegment sales similar to third party transactions, which reflect current market prices.
The Company also records certain income from purchase incentive agreements as corporate division revenue. The
Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a variety of
indicators including sales, cost of goods sold, operating income and total identifiable assets. In addition, certain
significant items (the majority of which are non-cash in nature), are presented in the table below.
The table below presents information about the operating income, segment assets, and certain other items that
are either used by or provided to the chief operating decision maker of the Company as of and for the years ended
