LCI Industries 2025 Q2 Earnings Declining Earnings Despite Revenue Growth

LCI Industries reported mixed second quarter results with a 5.0% year-over-year revenue increase to $1.11 billion but a decline in net income and EPS. The company did not provide earnings guidance adjustments or specific expectations for the quarter, and there was no indication of a beat or miss relative to estimates.

Revenue
LCI Industries reported robust second quarter revenue, with total net sales rising to $1.11 billion compared to $1.05 billion in the same period last year. The RV OEMs segment led the growth with $839.56 million in revenue, while travel trailers and fifth-wheels added $441.93 million. The motorhome segment generated $61.37 million, and Adjacent Industries OEMs contributed $336.26 million. Additionally, the Aftermarket Segment brought in $267.69 million, rounding out the company's diversified revenue streams.

Earnings/Net Income
Earnings for the quarter were softer, with net income declining to $57.63 million, a 5.8% drop from $61.16 million in the prior year. Earnings per share also fell, decreasing to $2.29 from $2.40. The decline suggests margin pressures despite the revenue growth.

Price Action
LCI Industries' stock edged up 2.63% on the latest trading day, but declined 2.74% over the past week and 2.01% month-to-date.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review
A strategy of buying LCI Industries shares 30 days after earnings and holding for an additional 30 days underperformed the benchmark significantly, yielding a -10.93% return over the past three years compared to 68.42%. While the strategy recorded no drawdown, it carried a high level of volatility—26.26%—and a negative Sharpe ratio of -0.16, indicating poor risk-adjusted returns.

CEO Commentary
Jason Lippert, President and CEO, highlighted the company's 5% revenue growth and 2% organic content growth, driven by innovative product offerings and a competitive moat. Cost-saving initiatives, including supply chain optimization and operational footprint adjustments, supported an EBITDA margin of 11%. He also noted the successful acquisition of Freedman Seating and $67 million in shareholder returns through dividends and buybacks. Lippert expressed confidence in delivering strong profits at lower volumes and reiterated the company’s target to reach $5 billion in organic revenue by 2027, alongside an 85 basis point improvement in overhead and G&A expenses for 2025.
