LCI Industries (NYSE:LCII) Issues Earnings Results

LCI Industries (NYSE:LCII) announced its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $2.21 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $2.06 by $0.15, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $992.48 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $990.62 million. LCI Industries had a net margin of 5.24% and a return on equity of 14.33%. The company’s revenue was down 4.2% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same quarter in the previous year, the company posted $1.97 EPS. LCI Industries updated its FY 2026 guidance to 8.250-8.500 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from LCI Industries’ conference call:

• Third-quarter net sales fell 4% year over year, with RV OEM sales down 17% amid weak demand. Growth in aftermarket sales (+6%) and adjacent industries (+7%) helped offset the decline.
• Adjusted operating margin expanded 100 basis points to 8.3%, adjusted EPS rose to $2.21 from $1.97, and RV towable content per unit increased 6% to $5,733. Management attributed the improvement to pricing and cost actions, while noting lower sales weighed on fixed-cost absorption.
• For full-year 2026, LCI expects adjusted revenue of $3.9 billion–$4.0 billion, an adjusted operating margin of 7.5%–8.0%, and adjusted EPS of $8.25–$8.50; expected RV wholesale shipments are 285,000–295,000 units.
• LCI said its board rejected Monomoy Capital’s proposal as not superior to the proposed Patrick Industries merger, which management expects to generate about $150 million in net run-rate cost synergies within three years of closing.
• The company ended the quarter with $841 million in total liquidity and a net-debt-to-adjusted-EBITDA ratio of 1.4x, down from 1.8x at the start of the year.
