DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.����BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Drew Industries Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Drew or the Company). Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries. Drew operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Lippert Components). Drew, through Lippert Components, supplies a broad array of components for the leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles (RVs) and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent supplies components for adjacent industries including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; truck campers; truck caps; modular housing; and factory-built mobile office units. At September�30, 2014, the Company operated 36 manufacturing facilities.

The RV and manufactured housing industries, as well as other industries where the Company sells products or where its products are used, historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Companys sales and profits have generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. However, because of fluctuations in dealer inventories, and the impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in its December�31, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, sales and purchase rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include some information necessary to conform to annual reporting requirements.

2.����SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable segments; the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment"). Intersegment sales are insignificant.

The RV Segment, which accounted for 90 percent and 88 percent of consolidated net sales for the nine month periods ended September�30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of RVs, including:

Steel chassis for towable RVs
Chassis components
Axles and suspension solutions for towable RVs
Furniture and mattresses
Slide-out mechanisms and solutions
Entry, luggage, patio and ramp doors
Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products
�Electric and manual entry steps
�Windows
Awnings and slide toppers
�Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer and�
� �leveling systems
�Other accessories and electronic components

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)



The Company also supplies certain of these products to the RV aftermarket, and to adjacent industries, including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; truck campers; and truck caps. Approximately 80 percent of the Companys RV Segment net sales for the last twelve months were of products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs.

The MH Segment, which accounted for 10 percent and 12 percent of consolidated net sales for the nine month periods ended September�30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes, including:

Vinyl and aluminum windows
Steel chassis
Thermoformed bath and kitchen products
Steel chassis parts
Steel and fiberglass entry doors
Axles
Aluminum and vinyl patio doors

The Company also supplies certain of these products to the manufactured housing aftermarket, and to adjacent industries, including modular housing and mobile office units. Certain of the Companys MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both types of homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed.

Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company's resources are made by the Company's key executives, with oversight by the Board of Directors. This group evaluates the performance of each segment based upon segment operating profit or loss, generally defined as income or loss before interest and income taxes. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources are also based on each segments utilization of assets. Management of debt is a corporate function. The accounting policies of the RV and MH Segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December�31, 2013.

Potential Future Changes to Reporting Segments

Over the past several years, largely due to the growth the Company has experienced in its RV Segment, the MH Segment is now a smaller part of the Company. Net sales to Manufactured Housing OEMs are 6 percent of consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2014. In addition, the Company has recently increased its focus on the significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket, which is currently included in the RV Segment. We are currently evaluating the information provided to our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), and in the near future, we expect to complete any changes to our reporting structures that will reflect how our CODM will assess the performance of our operating segments and make decisions about resource allocations which may result in changes to the operating segments we report.

3.����ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Acquisitions in 2014

Duncan Systems, Inc.

On August�15, 2014, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Duncan Systems, Inc. ("Duncan Systems"), an aftermarket distributor of replacement motorhome windshields, awnings, and RV, heavy truck and specialty vehicle glass and windows, primarily to fulfill insurance claims.

The purchase price was $18.0 million paid at closing, plus contingent consideration based on future sales of this operation. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company's RV Segment and in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date.

In April 2014, the Company entered into a six-year aluminum extrusion supply agreement, and concurrently sold certain aluminum extrusion assets. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 on the sale of the aluminum extrusion-related assets. In connection with the sale, the Company received $0.3 million at closing and a $7.2 million note receivable payable over the next four years, recorded at its present value of $6.4 million on the date of closing. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company received the first installment of $0.8 million under the note. At September�30, 2014, the present value of the remaining amount due under the note receivable was $5.8 million.

Goodwill represents the excess of the total consideration given in an acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment annually in November, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. No impairment tests were required or performed during the nine months ended September�30, 2014.

7.����LONG-TERM INDEBTEDNESS

At September�30, 2014, the Company had $40.0 million of outstanding borrowings on its line of credit at an interest rate of 1.9 percent. The Company had no debt outstanding at September�30, 2013 or December�31, 2013.

On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into a $75.0 million line of credit (the Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the Lenders), amending the Company's previous $50.0 million line of credit that was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2016. The maximum borrowings under the Companys line of credit can be increased by $25.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Prime Rate, minus a rate ranging from 0.75 percent to 1.0 percent (minus 1.0 percent at September�30, 2014), but not less than 1.5 percent, or (ii) LIBOR, plus additional interest ranging from 1.75 percent to 2.0 percent (plus 1.75 percent at September�30, 2014) depending on the Companys performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires on January 1, 2019. At September�30, 2014, the Company had $2.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Companys line of credit was $33.0 million at September�30, 2014.

Simultaneously, the Company also entered into a $150.0 million shelf-loan facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (Prudential), amending the Company's previous $150.0 million "shelf-loan" facility with Prudential. The facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Companys request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. At September�30, 2014, there were no Senior Promissory Notes outstanding. This facility expires on February 24, 2017.

Borrowings under both the line of credit and the shelf-loan facility are secured on a pari-passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Companys direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shelf-loan facility, at September�30, 2014, the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At September�30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the shelf-loan facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Companys borrowing availability at September�30, 2014. The remaining availability under these facilities was $183.0 million at September�30, 2014. The Company believes the availability under the line of credit and "shelf-loan" facility is more than adequate to finance the Companys anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

8.����COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

In January 2014, the Company entered into a nine year operating lease for a 366,000 square foot facility located in Goshen, Indiana with aggregate lease payments of $6.1 million. This facility is being used to consolidate manufacturing operations for efficiency improvements and expand capacity for its furniture and mattress operations.

In March 2014, the Company entered into a twelve year operating lease for a 539,000 square foot facility located in South Bend, Indiana to expand warehousing and distribution capabilities. Annual lease payments are $1.0 million; however, the Company has entered into a sublease arrangement for 238,000 square feet of the facility for the next five years with annual sublease payments of $0.7 million.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with several business acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a liability for the fair value of this contingent consideration at September�30, 2014, based on the present value of the expected future cash flows using a market participants weighted average cost of capital of 15.0 percent.


14

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)


As required, the liability for this contingent consideration is measured at fair value quarterly, considering actual sales of the acquired products, updated sales projections, and the updated market participant weighted average cost of capital. Depending upon the weighted average costs of capital and future sales of the products which are subject to contingent consideration, the Company could record adjustments in future periods.

The liability for contingent consideration expires at various dates through September 2029. Certain of the contingent consideration arrangements are subject to a maximum payment amount, while the remaining arrangements have no maximum contingent consideration.

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is managements opinion after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September�30, 2014, would not be material to the Companys financial position or annual results of operations.

The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the nine months ended September�30, 2014 and 2013 exclude the effect of 322,542 and 332,391 shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock options, stock awards and deferred stock units. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September�30, 2014 and 2013 exclude the effect of 322,542 and 324,002 shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock options, stock awards and deferred stock units. Such shares were excluded from total diluted shares because they were anti-dilutive or the specified performance conditions that those shares were subject to were not yet achieved.

On January�6, 2014, a special dividend of $2.00 per share of the Companys common stock, representing an aggregate of $46.7 million, was paid to stockholders of record as of December�20, 2013. In connection with this special dividend, holders of deferred stock units, restricted stock and stock awards were credited with deferred stock units, restricted stock or stock equal to $2.00 per deferred stock unit, restricted stock or stock award, representing $1.8 million in total for this special dividend. In connection with this special cash dividend, the exercise price of all outstanding stock options was reduced by $2.00 per share. These reductions in exercise price were made pursuant to the terms of the outstanding awards, resulting in no incremental stock-based compensation expense.

In February 2014, the Company issued 43,188 deferred stock units at $45.98, or $2.0 million, to executive officers in lieu of cash for a portion of their 2013 incentive compensation.

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May�22, 2014, stockholders approved an amendment to the Drew Industries Incorporated Equity Award and Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated, to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards by 1,678,632 shares.

Deferred Compensation

The Company has an Executive Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). The amounts deferred under the Plan are credited with earnings or losses based upon changes in values of the notional investments elected by the Plan participants. The Company invests 65 percent of the amounts deferred by the Plan participants in life insurance contracts, matching the investments elected by the Plan participants. Deferred compensation assets and liabilities were valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments.

Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions

Liabilities for contingent consideration related to acquisitions were valued using managements projections for long-term sales forecasts, including assumptions regarding market share gains and future industry-specific economic and market conditions, and a market participants weighted average cost of capital. Over the next three years, the Companys long-term sales growth forecasts for products subject to contingent consideration arrangements average approximately 20 percent per year. For further

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)


information on the inputs used in determining the fair value, and a roll-forward of the contingent consideration liability, see Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Changes in either of the inputs in isolation would result in a change in the fair value measurement. A change in the assumptions used for sales forecasts would result in a directionally similar change in the fair value liability, while a change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a directionally opposite change in the fair value liability. If there is an increase in the fair value liability, the Company would record a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses, and if there is a decrease in the fair value liability, the Company would record a benefit in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Non-recurring

The following table presents the carrying value on the measurement date of any assets and liabilities which were measured at fair value and recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, on a non-recurring basis, using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and the corresponding non-recurring losses or (gains) recognized during the nine months ended September 30:

Vacant Owned Facilities

During the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of its vacant owned facilities. The determination of fair value was based on the best information available, including internal cash flow estimates, market prices for similar assets, broker quotes and independent appraisals, as appropriate.

During the first nine months of 2014, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of three vacant owned facilities, of which one of these facilities was sold. At September�30, 2014, the Company had two vacant owned facilities, with an estimated combined fair value of $3.0 million and a combined carrying value of $2.7 million, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the first nine months of 2013, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of six vacant owned facilities. The fair value of two of these vacant owned facilities did not exceed its carrying value, therefore an impairment charge of $0.1 million was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At September�30, 2013, the Company had three vacant owned facilities with an estimated combined fair value of $4.0 million and a combined carrying value of $3.2 million.

Net Assets of Acquired Businesses

The Company valued the assets and liabilities associated with the acquisitions of businesses on the respective acquisition dates. Depending upon the type of asset or liability acquired, the Company used different valuation techniques in determining the fair value. Those techniques included comparable market prices, long-term sales, profitability and cash flow forecasts, assumptions regarding future industry-specific economic and market conditions, a market participants weighted average cost of capital, as well as other techniques as circumstances required. For further information on acquired assets and liabilities, see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

11.����NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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

17

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)


goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and shall be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as discontinued operations and requires new disclosures for individually material disposal transactions that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Under this ASU, companies report discontinued operations when they have a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major impact on operations or financial results. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, provided the disposal was not previously disclosed. This new accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

ITEM 2  MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Companys Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Report, as well as the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December�31, 2013.

Drew Industries Incorporated (Drew, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company) conducts its operations through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Lippert Components). Drew, through Lippert Components, supplies a broad array of components for the leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles (RVs) and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent supplies components for adjacent industries including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; truck campers; truck caps; modular housing; and factory-built mobile office units. Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries.

The Company has two reportable segments; the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment"). Intersegment sales are insignificant. At September�30, 2014, the Company operated 36 manufacturing facilities in the United States.

The Company also supplies certain of these products to the manufactured housing aftermarket, and to adjacent industries, including modular housing and mobile office units. Certain of the Companys MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both types of homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed.

The RV and manufactured housing industries, as well as other industries where the Company sells products or where its products are used, historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the weather is moderate. Accordingly, the Companys sales and profits have generally been the highest in the second quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. However, because of fluctuations in dealer inventories, and the impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on retail sales of RVs and other products for which the Company sells its components, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Recreational Vehicle Industry

An RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or seasonal use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, fifth-wheel travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers).

According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, the Companys primary RV markets, increased 9 percent in the first nine months of 2014 to 226,600 units, compared to the first nine months of 2013, as a result of:

"
An estimated 8,900 unit increase in retail demand in the first nine months of 2014, or 4 percent, as compared to the same period of 2013.
"
RV dealers increasing inventory levels by an estimated 3,300 units in the first nine months of 2014, while dealers decreased inventory levels by an estimated 6,500 units in the first nine months of 2013.

The annual sales cycle for the RV industry has historically started in October after the Open House in Elkhart, Indiana where RV OEMs display product to RV retail dealers, and ended after the conclusion of the Summer selling season in September. Between October and March, industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded retail sales, and between April and September, the Spring and Summer selling seasons, retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have historically exceeded industry-wide wholesale shipments. The Company estimates that RV dealers across the United States and Canada added an estimated aggregate of 27,000 travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs to their inventories between October 2013 and September 2014, in response to the increase in retail sales for the same period and in anticipation of strong retail demand. Despite this year-over-year increase, most industry analysts believe dealer inventories are in-line with anticipated retail demand.

While the Company measures its RV sales against industry-wide wholesale shipment statistics, the underlying health of the RV industry is determined by retail demand. A comparison of the number of units and the year-over-year percentage change in industry-wide wholesale shipments and retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, as reported by Statistical Surveys, Inc., as well as the resulting change in dealer inventories, for both the United States and Canada, is as follows:

Retail sales data for September 2014 has not been published; therefore retail and dealer inventory data includes an estimate for retail units sold.

According to the RVIA, industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhome RVs in the first nine months of 2014 increased 18 percent to 34,000 units compared to the same period of 2013. The Company estimates retail demand for motorhome RVs increased 12 percent in the first nine months of 2014.

In September 2014, the RVIA projected an 8 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs for 2014, to 291,100 units. The RVIA also projected a 4 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs for 2015, to 301,400 units. The Company is also encouraged by several customers introducing new product lines, as well as increasing production capacity.

While production over the last several quarters was strong, and additional production capacity is being added by the RV OEMs, unless retail demand matches these production levels, dealers could reduce the pace of their orders, and our customers, the OEMs, would need to adjust their production levels in future months. Retail sales of RVs historically have been closely tied to general economic conditions, as well as consumer confidence which was recently reported at a seven year high. Retail sales of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs have increased in 55 of the last 58 months on a year-over-year basis, corresponding with the improvement in consumer confidence. Several industry analysts also report that the RV industry may benefit from the growing popularity of the RV lifestyle and the addition of new 'entry-level' RV units. The Company also remains confident in its ability to exceed industry growth rates through new product introductions, market share gains, acquisitions and ongoing investments in research and development, engineering, quality and customer service.

Over the long term, the Company expects RV industry sales to be aided by positive demographics and the continued popularity of the RV Lifestyle. The number of consumers between the ages of 55 and 70 are projected to total 56 million by

2020, 27 percent higher than in 2010, according to U.S. Census figures, and one in ten vehicle-owning households between the ages of 50 and 64 own at least one RV. Further, the RVIA has an advertising campaign promoting the RV lifestyle. The current campaign is targeted at both parents aged 30-49 with children at home, as well as couples aged 50-64 with no children at home. The popularity of traveling in RVs to NASCAR and other sporting events, more family-oriented domestic vacations, and using RVs as second homes, will all hopefully continue to motivate consumer demand for RVs. RVIA studies indicate that RV vacations cost substantially less than other forms of vacation travel, even when factoring in fuel prices and the cost of RV ownership. More details can be found at www.RVIA.org.

Manufactured Housing Industry

Manufactured homes are built entirely in a factory on permanent steel undercarriages or chassis to which axles and wheels are attached. The homes are then transported to a manufactured housing dealer which sells and transports the home to the buyers home site. The manufactured home is installed pursuant to a federal building code administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The federal standards regulate manufactured housing design and construction, methods to site and secure the home at a home site, strength and durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD code also sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. It is the only federally regulated national building code.

Manufactured homes contain one or more floors or sections which can be joined to make larger homes. A typical section may range in size from 800 to 1,200 square feet. During the first nine months of 2014, multi-section homes were 53 percent of the total manufactured homes produced, consistent with 2013, but down from the 64 percent of the total manufactured homes produced between 2007 and 2010. Multi-section manufactured homes contain more of the Companys products than single-section manufactured homes.

The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS) reported, that for the first nine months of 2014, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 48,200 units, an increase of 6 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013. In the third quarter of 2014, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 17,500 units, an increase of 8 percent compared to the same period of 2013.

For the 20 years prior to the sub-prime boom in home financing, manufactured housing industry-wide wholesale shipments represented 20 percent or more of single-family housing starts. During the sub-prime years, 2003 to 2007, when extremely low cost loans were available for financing purchases of site-built homes, many traditional buyers of manufactured homes were able to purchase site-built homes instead of manufactured homes, and manufactured housings share of the single-family market dropped precipitously, to below 10 percent. Since the sub-prime bubble burst in 2007 and 2008, this market share has averaged about 11 percent, despite interest rates for manufactured home loans remaining historically high relative to interest rates for site-built home loans. Accordingly, the Company believes the manufactured housing industry may begin to experience a modest recovery when the economy improves and home buyers begin to look for affordable housing. However, because of the current real estate, credit and economic environment, including the availability of site built homes at low prices and high interest rate spreads between conventional mortgages for site-built homes and loans for manufactured homes, the Company expects industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes to remain low until these conditions improve.

In addition, certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, which regulate financial transactions, have made certain types of mortgages, including chattel loans, more difficult or more expensive to obtain  in particular those historically used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes. Although new legislation has been introduced to address this matter, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been reviewing this matter, there can be no assurance of the outcome.

Nevertheless, the Company believes that long-term growth prospects for manufactured housing remain positive because of (i) the quality and affordability of the home, (ii) favorable demographic trends, including the increasing number of retirees who, in the past, had represented a significant market for manufactured homes, and (iii) pent-up demand by retirees who could potentially purchase a manufactured home, but have been unable or unwilling to sell their primary residence at current market prices.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Highlights

The Companys consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2014 increased to $294 million, 17 percent higher than in the 2013 third quarter. This growth in net sales primarily resulted from a 21 percent increase in net sales by the Company's RV Segment, which accounted for 90 percent of consolidated net sales in the quarter. The four acquisitions completed by the Company in 2014 added $15 million in net sales in the third quarter of 2014, all of which related to the Company's RV Segment. RV Segment net sales growth was also due to a 7 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of RVs. Further, the Company's sales of new products for RVs increased, as did sales to adjacent industries and the aftermarket.

In October 2014, the Company's consolidated net sales reached a monthly record of approximately $115 million - 21 percent higher than October 2013 - as a result of continued growth in the Companys RV Segment. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the Companys consolidated net sales for October 2014 were up approximately 15 percent.

For the third quarter of 2014, the Company reported net income of $15.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, an increase of 5 percent compared to net income of $14.8 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013.

Operating profits during the third quarter of 2014 remained relatively constant at $23.1 million, compared with $22.8 million in the third quarter of 2013, while operating profit margin decreased from 9.1 percent to 7.8 percent during the same period. As a result of facility start-up and realignment costs, as well as higher health insurance and raw material costs, the Companys incremental margin was lower than its historical average.

"
Raw material costs, in particular steel and aluminum, were higher during the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013. Material costs remain volatile.

Health insurance costs were also higher, largely due to increased employee participation, which the Company believes is largely due to the new health care requirements.

Collectively, higher raw material and health insurance costs had a negative impact on net income in the third quarter of 2014 of $0.11 per diluted share, as compared to the third quarter of 2013. Although the Company is making every effort to offset higher costs through improved product designs and efficiency improvements, and by working with its vendors to identify opportunities to reduce input costs, the Company expects higher raw material costs and higher health insurance and other costs to impact the year-over-year comparison of operating results in the fourth quarter of 2014. Further, in response to the higher costs, the Company is implementing sales price increases which should be fully in place during the first quarter of 2015.

In early 2014, the Company entered into two new leases which added more than 700,000 square feet of production and distribution capacity. These two new leased facilities are now operational and are expected to be fully occupied by the end of 2014. While these and other capacity expansion initiatives have a short-term negative impact on margins, over the long term these investments should allow the Company to improve its operating results, as well as continue to improve its customer service and operating efficiencies. The Company estimates expansion initiatives had a negative impact on net income in the third quarter of 2014 of $0.04 per diluted share, as compared to the third quarter of 2013. In connection with the opening of and relocation to these new leased facilities, the Company anticipates incurring realignment costs in the fourth quarter of 2014, but expects these costs to decline as the projects are completed over the coming months.
On August�15, 2014, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Duncan Systems, Inc. ("Duncan Systems"), an aftermarket distributor of replacement motorhome windshields, awnings, and RV, heavy truck and specialty vehicle glass and windows, primarily to fulfill insurance claims. Sales of Duncan Systems for the twelve months ended July 31, 2014 were approximately $26 million. The purchase price was $18.0 million paid at closing, plus contingent consideration based on future sales of this operation. This acquisition was immediately accretive to the Company's earnings.
After funding this acquisition, the Company remains well-positioned with both financial capital and human resources to take advantage of additional investment opportunities.

(Continued)

The four acquisitions completed in 2014 add an aggregate of $67 million in run rate to the Company's annual sales, of which $15 million occurred in the third quarter of 2014. Further, the Company plans to use its purchasing power and manufacturing capabilities to reduce the cost structure of the acquired operations.
Return on equity for the twelve months ended September�30, 2014 improved to 17.7 percent, from 13.9 percent in the year-earlier period.

RV Segment  Third Quarter

The Companys net sales growth in components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the third quarter of 2014 exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2014, which acquisitions added $2 million in net sales during the third quarter of 2014.

The Company's net sales growth in components for motorhomes during the third quarter of 2014 exceeded the increase in the industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhomes during the same period primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2014, which acquisitions added $5 million in net sales during the third quarter of 2014.

The trend in the Companys average product content per RV produced is an indicator of the Companys overall market share of components for new RVs. The Companys average product content per type of RV, calculated based upon the Companys net sales of components to RV OEMs for the different types of RVs produced for the twelve months ended September 30, divided by the industry-wide wholesale shipments of the different types of RVs for the same period, was:

The Companys average product content per type of RV excludes sales to the aftermarket and adjacent industries. Content per RV is impacted by market share gains, acquisitions, new product introductions, and changes in selling prices for the Companys products, as well as changes in the types of RVs produced industry-wide.

The Company's net sales to the RV aftermarket increased during the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2014, which acquisitions added $6 million in net sales during the third quarter of 2014. With an estimated 10 million households in North America owning an RV, the Company continues to believe there are significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket.

The Companys net sales to adjacent industries, including components for buses, trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, truck campers and truck caps, increased during the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2014, which acquisitions added $3 million in net sales during the third quarter of 2014. The Company also recently began shipping school bus windows to Blue Bird Corporation ("Blue Bird") under a new 12 year supply agreement for nearly all their bus windows. Annual sales to Blue Bird are expected to be approximately $10 million. The Company continues to believe there are significant opportunities in adjacent industries.

The Company also continues to focus on developing products tailored for international markets. In early September, the Company participated in the largest RV show in Europe and received positive feedback on its products. As a result, the Company believes it will see additional orders from European OEMs, which would be shipped from its facilities in the United States. The Companys Director of International Business Development will continue to spend time in Australia, Europe and other international markets, assessing the dynamics of the local marketplace, building relationships with OEMs and helping the Company introduce its existing products and develop new products for those markets, with the goal of identifying long-term growth opportunities.

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, an improvement of $1.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2013. This increase in RV Segment operating profit was less than the Companys expected 15 to 20 percent incremental margin. The operating profit margin of the RV Segment in the third quarter of 2014 was impacted by:
"
Higher material costs, in particular steel and aluminum, during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. Material costs remain volatile.
"
Higher health insurance costs, largely due to increased employee participation, which the Company believes is largely due to the new health care requirements.
Although the Company is making every effort to offset higher costs through improved product designs and efficiency improvements, and by working with its vendors to identify opportunities to reduce input costs, the Company expects higher raw material costs and higher health insurance and other costs to impact the year-over-year comparison of operating results in the fourth quarter of 2014. Further, in response to the higher costs, the Company is implementing sales price increases which should be fully in place during the first quarter of 2015.
"
Fixed costs, which were approximately $4 million to $5 million higher than in the third quarter of 2013. In response to the increase in net sales, the Company bolstered its administrative staff over the past several quarters, including the teams that were acquired through acquisitions and new employees hired in preparation for future growth and investment opportunities. In anticipation of future growth, the Company continues to expand and improve production capacity, investing in personnel and facilities in excess of current needs.
In early 2014, the Company entered into two new leases which added more than 700,000 square feet of production and distribution capacity. These two new leased facilities are now operational and are expected to be fully occupied by the end of 2014. While these and other capacity expansion initiatives have a short-term negative impact on margins, over the long term these investments should allow the Company to improve its operating results, as well as continue to improve its customer service and operating efficiencies. In connection with the opening of and relocation to these new leased facilities, the Company anticipates incurring realignment costs in the fourth quarter of 2014, but expects these costs to decline as the projects are completed over the coming months.
Partially offset by:
Investments over the past several years to increase capacity and improve operating efficiencies, which are continuing to benefit bottom-line results. The Company added capacity ahead of projected demand, which enabled it to efficiently fulfill customer orders as demand increased and leverage fixed costs over a $46 million larger sales base. Further, the Company has implemented additional efficiency improvements, including lean, automation and employee retention initiatives.
"
Lower warranty costs, largely due to lower claims experience.

The Companys net sales growth in components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the first nine months of 2014 exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2014, which acquisitions added $3 million in net sales during the first nine months of 2014.

The Company's net sales growth in components for motorhomes during the first nine months of 2014 exceeded the increase in the industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhomes during the same period primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2014, which acquisitions added $5 million in net sales during the first nine months of 2014.

The Company's net sales to the RV aftermarket increased during the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2014, which acquisitions added $7 million in net sales during the first nine months of 2014. With an estimated 10 million households in North America owning an RV, the Company continues to believe there are significant opportunities in the RV aftermarket.

The Companys net sales to adjacent industries, including components for buses, trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, truck campers and truck caps, increased during the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to market share gains and acquisitions completed in 2014, which acquisitions added $7 million in net sales during the first nine months of 2014. The Company also recently began shipping school bus windows to Blue Bird under a new 12 year supply agreement for nearly all their bus windows. Annual sales to Blue Bird are expected to be approximately $10 million. The Company continues to believe there are significant opportunities in adjacent industries.

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $72.0 million in the first nine months of 2014, an improvement of $18.0 million compared to the first nine months of 2013. This increase in RV Segment operating profit was consistent with the Companys expected 15 to 20 percent incremental margin. The operating profit margin of the RV Segment in the first nine months of 2014 was impacted by:
"
Fixed costs, which were approximately $10 million to $12 million higher than in the first nine months of 2013.

Industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes increased during the third quarter of 2014 when compared to the same period of the prior year, while the Companys net sales of components for new manufactured homes declined during the same period of 2014, primarily due to customer mix, as the Companys content per unit varies between customers, and loss of market share for certain products. As a result, the Companys content per manufactured home produced for the twelve months ended September�30, 2014 declined from the prior year period.

The trend in the Companys average product content per manufactured home produced is an indicator of the Companys overall market share of components for new manufactured homes. Manufactured homes contain one or more floors or sections

The Companys average product content per manufactured home produced by the industry and total manufactured home floors produced by the industry, calculated based upon the Companys net sales of components to manufactured housing OEMs for newly produced manufactured homes for the twelve month periods ended September 30, divided by the number of manufactured homes and manufactured home floors produced by the industry, respectively, for the same period, was:

The Companys average product content per manufactured home excludes sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket and sales to adjacent industries. Content per manufactured home and content per floor are impacted by market share changes, acquisitions and new product introductions, and changes in selling prices for the Companys products, as well as changes in the types of floors produced industry-wide.

Operating profit of the MH Segment was $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2014, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to the decline in net sales and higher raw material and health insurance costs. The increase in health insurance costs was primarily due to increased employee participation.

MH Segment  Year to Date

Net sales of the MH Segment in the first nine months of 2014 decreased 7 percent compared to the same period of 2013. Net sales of components were to the following markets for the nine months ended September 30:

Industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes increased during the first nine months of 2014 when compared to the same period of the prior year, while the Companys net sales of components for new manufactured homes declined during the same period of 2014, primarily due to customer mix, as the Companys content per unit varies between customers, and loss of market share for certain products.

Operating profit of the MH Segment was $8.2 million in the first nine months of 2014, a decrease of $1.7 million compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to the decline in net sales and higher health insurance costs, largely due to increased employee participation.

Sale of Extrusion Assets

In April 2014, the Company entered into a six-year aluminum extrusion supply agreement, and concurrently sold certain aluminum extrusion assets. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 on the sale of the aluminum extrusion-related assets. The outsourcing of these aluminum extrusion requirements was immediately accretive to earnings and has freed up management time and production capacity for other opportunities. In 2013, the Company recorded an after-tax loss from operations of approximately $1.5 million associated with the extrusion-related assets that were sold.

Executive Succession

In connection with the Companys 2013 executive succession and corporate relocation, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2013 related to contractual obligations for severance and the acceleration of equity awards held by certain employees whose employment terminated as a result of the executive succession and relocation to Indiana.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the first nine months and third quarter of 2014 was lower than the effective tax rate for the comparable periods, primarily due to an increase in federal and state tax credits. The Company estimates the 2014 full year effective tax rate to be approximately 36 percent. Further, the Company estimates the 2015 full year effective tax rate to be approximately 37 percent to 38 percent.

Cash Flows from Operations

Significant changes in the components of net cash flows from operating activities in the first nine months of 2014 were a result of:

"
An $11.2 million increase in net income in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013.
"
A $6.2 million larger increase in accounts payable in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to the increase in sales, production and earnings, as well as the timing of these payments.
"
A seasonal increase in accounts receivable of $27.2 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to a $32.8 million seasonal increase in the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to increased net sales, as well as the timing of payments by the Companys customers. Accounts receivable balances remain current, with only 20 days sales outstanding at September�30, 2014.
"
An increase in inventories of $16.5 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to a decrease of $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2013. The increase in inventories in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to the increase in net sales, an increase in the cost of raw materials, primarily steel and aluminum, and accelerated purchases of imported inventory due to a threatened West Coast dock strike. This threat of a West Coast dock strike has passed, and the Company is working to reduce inventory to normalized levels. Inventory turnover for the twelve months ended September�30, 2014 increased to 8.2 turns from 7.9 turns for the full year 2013 and 7.8 turns for the twelve months ended September�30, 2013.
"
A $3.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the first nine months of 2014 compared to a decrease of $4.1 million in the first nine months of 2013. The increase in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to the timing of the Companys federal income tax payment. During the first nine months of 2013, the Companys federal income tax overpayment from 2012 was applied against its estimated 2013 tax liability.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED�
ITEM 2  MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

Over the long term, based on the Companys historical collection and payment patterns, as well as inventory turnover, the Company expects working capital to increase or decrease equivalent to approximately 10 percent to 12 percent of the increase or decrease, respectively, in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, especially in the short term.

Depreciation and amortization was $23.5 million in the first nine months of 2014, and is expected to aggregate $31 million to $33 million for the full year 2014. Further, the Company estimates depreciation and amortization will be approximately $35 million to $37 million in 2015.

Non-cash stock-based compensation in the first nine months of 2014 was $7.9 million, and is expected to be approximately $11 million to $13 million for the full year 2014. Non-cash stock-based compensation is expected to be $13 million to $15 million for the full year of 2015.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used for investing activities of $126.2 million in the first nine months of 2014 were primarily comprised of $100.2 million for the acquisition of businesses and $30.0 million for capital expenditures. In the first nine months of 2013, cash flows used for investing activities of $26.3 million were primarily for capital expenditures. In order to better serve its customers and meet the increased demand for its products, the Company continues to invest in capacity expansion, automation and production improvement, as well as cost reduction initiatives.
On August�15, 2014, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Duncan Systems, an aftermarket distributor of replacement motorhome windshields, awnings, and RV, heavy truck and specialty vehicle glass and windows, primarily to fulfill insurance claims. Sales of Duncan Systems for the twelve months ended July 2014 were approximately $26 million. The purchase price was $18.0 million paid at closing, plus contingent consideration based on future sales of this operation.
On June 13, 2014, the Company acquired the RV business of Actuant Corporation, which manufactures leveling systems, slideout mechanisms and steps, primarily for motorhome RVs, under the Power Gear and Kwikee brands. Sales of the acquired business for the twelve months ended May 2014 were approximately $28 million, consisting of sales to OEMs and the aftermarket. The purchase price was $35.5 million paid at closing.
On March�14, 2014, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Star Design, LLC ("Star Design"). Star Design had annual sales of approximately $10 million in 2013, comprised primarily of thermoformed sheet plastic products for the RV, bus and specialty vehicle industries. The purchase price was $12.2 million paid at closing.

On February 27, 2014, the Company acquired Innovative Design Solutions, Inc. (IDS), a designer, developer and manufacturer of electronic systems encompassing a wide variety of RV applications. IDS also manufactures electronic systems for automotive, medical and industrial applications. IDS had annual sales of approximately $19 million in 2013, of which $13 million were to the Company. The purchase price was $35.9 million, of which $34.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid out annually over the subsequent three years, plus contingent consideration based on future sales of this operation.
The Companys capital expenditures are primarily for replacement and growth. Over the long term, based on the Companys historical capital expenditures, the replacement portion has averaged approximately 1.5 percent to 2.0 percent of net sales, while the growth portion has averaged approximately 10 percent to 12 percent of the annual increase in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, such as new initiatives by the Company, especially in the short term.

The Company estimates capital expenditures will be $38 million to $40 million for the full year 2014, including $19 million to $21 million of replacement capital expenditures and $18 million to $20 million of growth capital expenditures.

The Company estimates capital expenditures will be $36 million to $40 million in 2015. However, the timing of certain capital projects may be accelerated or delayed. The scheduling of capital projects will not change the Companys overall cash flow, but rather just the timing of payment between years. Additional capital expenditures may also be required depending on the extent of the sales growth and other initiatives by the Company.

The capital expenditures and acquisitions during the first nine months of 2014 were funded from available cash plus periodic borrowings under the Companys line of credit. The capital expenditures for the balance of 2014 and for the full year

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

2015 are expected to be funded from available cash and cash generated from operations, as well as periodic borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2014 include the payment of a special dividend of $2.00 per share of the Companys Common Stock, representing an aggregate of $46.7 million, paid to stockholders of record as of December 20, 2013, partially offset by a net increase in debt of $40.0 million. The increase in debt was due to borrowings under the Company's line of credit, with such borrowings reaching a high of $58.6 million during 2014. In addition, in the first nine months of 2014, the Company received $3.6 million in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation and made $3.7 million in payments for contingent consideration related to acquisitions. In the first nine months of 2013, the Company received $11.8 million in cash and the related tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation, partially offset by $4.3 million in payments for contingent consideration related to acquisitions.

In connection with several business acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded an $8.3 million liability for the aggregate fair value of these expected contingent consideration liabilities at September�30, 2014, including $3.7 million recorded as a current liability. For further information see Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into a $75.0 million line of credit (the Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the Lenders) which can be increased by $25.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. The Credit Agreement expires on January 1, 2019. At September�30, 2014, the Company had $2.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company's line of credit was $33.0 million at September�30, 2014.

Simultaneously, the Company entered into a $150.0 million shelf-loan facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (Prudential). The facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Companys request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. This facility expires on February 24, 2017. At September�30, 2014, there were no Senior Promissory Notes outstanding.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shelf-loan facility, at September�30, 2014, the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At September�30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months. Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the shelf-loan facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Companys borrowing availability at September�30, 2014. The remaining availability under these facilities was $183.0 million at September�30, 2014. The Company believes the availability under the line of credit and "shelf-loan" facility is more than adequate to finance the Companys anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

Additional information on the Company's Credit Agreement and "shelf loan" facility is included in Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company is in compliance with the corporate governance requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the New York Stock Exchange. The Companys governance documents and committee charters and key practices have been posted to the Companys website (www.drewindustries.com) and are updated periodically. The website also contains, or provides direct links to, all SEC filings, press releases and investor presentations. The Company has also established a Whistleblower Policy, which includes a toll-free hotline (877-373-9123) to report complaints about the Companys accounting, internal controls, auditing matters or other concerns. The Whistleblower Policy and procedure for complaints can be found on the Companys website (www.drewindustries.com).

CONTINGENCIES

Information required by this item is included in Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and under Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

INFLATION

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of steel and aluminum, and components used by the Company which are made from these raw materials, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of these commodities have historically been volatile, and over the past few months prices have continued to fluctuate. The Company did not experience any significant increases in its labor costs in the first nine months of 2014 related to inflation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Information required by this item is included in Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, sales and purchase rebates, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities, acquisitions, plans and objectives of management, markets for the Companys Common Stock and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to our future business prospects, net sales, expenses and income (loss), cash flow, and financial condition, whenever they occur in this Form 10-Q are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management at the time such statements were made. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Companys control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, in addition to other matters described in this Form 10-Q, pricing pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of raw materials (particularly steel, steel based components and aluminum) and other components, availability of credit for financing the retail and wholesale purchase of products for which we sell our components, availability and costs of labor, employee benefits, employee retention, inventory levels of retail dealers and manufacturers, levels of repossessed products for which we sell our components, changes in zoning regulations for manufactured homes, seasonality and cyclicality in the industries to which we sell our products, availability of transportation for products for which we sell our components, the financial condition of our customers, the financial condition of retail dealers of products for which we sell our components, retention and concentration of significant customers, the pace of and successful integration of acquisitions and other growth initiatives, realization of efficiency improvements, the successful entry into new markets, the costs of compliance with increased governmental regulation, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, the impact of international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence on the retail sale of products for which we sell our components, and other risks and uncertainties discussed more fully under the caption Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December�31, 2013, and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made, except as required by law.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
ITEM 3  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At September�30, 2014, the Company had $40.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Assuming there is an increase of 100 basis points in the interest rate for borrowings under these variable rate loans subsequent to September�30, 2014, and outstanding borrowings of $40.0 million, future cash flows would be reduced by $0.4 million per annum.

The Company is also exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials, specifically steel and aluminum. The Company has, from time to time, entered into derivative instruments for the purpose of managing a portion of the exposures associated with fluctuations in aluminum prices. While these derivative instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, these fluctuations are generally offset by the changes in fair value of the underlying exposures. At September�30, 2014, the Company had no derivative instruments outstanding.

The Company has historically been able to obtain sales price increases to offset the majority of raw material cost increases. However, there can be no assurance that future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases will match raw material cost increases.

Additional information required by this item is included under the caption Inflation in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Report.

ITEM 4  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys Exchange Act reports is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, in accordance with the definition of disclosure controls and procedures in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management included in its evaluation the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company continually evaluates its disclosure controls and procedures to determine if changes are appropriate based upon changes in the Companys operations or the business environment in which it operates.

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the Companys Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose for which they were designed as of the end of such period.

b)
Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September�30, 2014, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has selected a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, and has begun implementing that system. Although to date there have been no significant changes in the Companys internal controls, the Company anticipates internal controls will be strengthened incrementally due both to the installation of the new ERP software and business process changes. The full implementation is expected to take several years.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is managements opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September�30, 2014, would not be material to the Companys financial position or annual results of operations.

ITEM 1A  RISK FACTORS

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the matters discussed in Part I, Item 1A  Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2014.

If our information technology systems fail to perform adequately or are breached, our operations could be disrupted and could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operation.
The efficient operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage our business data, inventory, supply chain, order entry and fulfillment, manufacturing, distribution, warranty administration, invoicing and collection of payments, and other business processes. We use information systems to report and audit our operational and financial results. Additionally, we rely upon information systems in our sales, marketing, human resources and communication efforts. The failure of our information technology systems to perform as we anticipate could disrupt our business and could result in transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, and the loss of sales and customers, causing our business and results of operations to suffer. In addition, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond our control, including fire, natural disasters, security breaches, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hackers, and other manipulation or improper use of our systems. Any such events could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or penalties under privacy laws, disruption in operations, and damage to our reputation, which could adversely affect our business. Due to our reliance on our information systems, we have established various levels of security, backup and disaster recovery procedures. Further, we have selected and have begun implementing a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, the full implementation of which is expected to take several years; however, there may be other challenges and risks as we upgrade and standardize our ERP system on a company-wide basis.
