Q: Can you clarify the company's exposure to tariffs and how much of that is expected to impact 2025 guidance? A: Andrew Roeder, CFO, explained that the company's exposure to tariffs is dynamic, with 5% of cost of goods sold (COGS) imported from China, 5% from Canada and Mexico, and 5% from the rest of the world. The $250 million estimate is slightly low. The company is actively working to mitigate the impact through alternative sourcing and strategic cost management, particularly focusing on reducing exposure to China.
Q: How is the company addressing potential price increases due to tariffs? A: Jeffrey Rodino, President - RV, stated that the company is being thoughtful about pricing, working closely with customers to mitigate costs and using a good, better, best model to manage tariffs. They are not implementing random price increases but are evaluating each line item carefully.
Q: What is the outlook for RV shipments and how does it relate to current production levels? A: Jeffrey Rodino noted that RV retail numbers were not as strong as expected, leading to a revised forecast. Production levels increased slightly in early 2025 but have since tempered, indicating a cautious approach by manufacturers to align production with retail demand.
Q: How is the company managing costs and capacity in light of the current economic environment? A: Andrew Nemeth, CEO, highlighted that the company is maintaining a highly variable cost structure, making fixed cost reductions, and consolidating facilities where appropriate. They are prepared to scale operations based on revenue streams and maintain capacity to support potential market inflections.
Q: What is the status of the aftermarket business, particularly RecPro, and its potential impact in a challenging market? A: Jeffrey Rodino reported that RecPro is progressing as expected, with increased integration of Patrick RV and marine products. The aftermarket business is seen as countercyclical, potentially benefiting from increased consumer investment in existing RVs during market downturns.
