You may access the Annual Meeting of Stockholders via the Internet through www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LCII2022.LCII2023.

The Company’s stockholders will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”), which was or will be sent to stockholders on or about April 4, 2022,6, 2023, containing information on the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet. Stockholders will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless previously requested or requested in the manner described in the Notice. The Notice explains how to access and review this Proxy Statement and our 20212022 Annual Report to Stockholders, and how you may vote by proxy.

All valid proxies received by the Company (whether by mail or via the Internet) in time for the Annual Meeting will be voted in the manner indicated on the proxies and, if no voting instructions are indicated, “FOR” the Directors named in Proposal 1, and “FOR” Proposals 2 and 4, and “ONE YEAR” on Proposal 3. If specific instructions are indicated, the proxies will be voted in accordance with such instructions. Each proxy may be revoked at any time after it is submitted, except as to matters upon which, prior to such revocation, a vote shall have been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by such proxy. A proxy may be revoked by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, by giving a proxy with a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting virtually. Attendance at the Annual Meeting alone will not revoke a proxy.

If you are the record holder of your shares (that is, you hold shares of the Company’s Common Stock in your own name and not through your broker or another nominee), you may choose to submit your proxy via the Internet. The website to submit your proxy via the Internet is www.proxyvote.com. You may submit your proxy via the Internet 24 hours a day until 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time,ET, on May 18, 2022.17, 2023.

Submitting your proxy via the Internet also will be available to stockholders owning shares held in “street name.” If you submit your proxy via the Internet, you do not need to return a proxy card.

The cost of solicitation by the Company, including postage, printing, and handling, and the expenses incurred by brokerage firms, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners, will be borne by the Company.

12NOTICE OF 20222023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT  | LCI INDUSTRIES


VOTING SECURITIES

The Company’s Common Stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “LCII.”

Stockholders of record will be entitled to one vote on each matter for each share of Common Stock held on the Record Date. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 25,411,47025,297,988 shares of our Common Stock outstanding and eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting. A majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting must be present or represented by proxy at the meeting in order to have a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

“Broker non-votes” means shares held of record by a broker for which the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and lacks the authority to vote the shares in its discretion. Proposals 1, 2, and 23 fall within this category. Accordingly, if you hold your shares in “street name” and wish your shares to be voted on Proposals 1, 2, and 2,3, you must give your broker voting instructions. Proposal 34 is considered to be a discretionary item, and your broker will be able to vote on this proposal even if it does not receive instructions from you.

If the persons present or represented by proxy at the meeting constitute the holders of less than a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned by the stockholders who are present, by a majority in voting power thereof, to a subsequent date for the purpose of obtaining a quorum. Votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions, and, if applicable, broker non-votes.

VOTE REQUIRED ON PROPOSALS

Vote Required on Proposals

The votes required to approve each of the proposals, and the impact of abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, on each of the proposals, are as follows:

Proposal NumberSubjectVote RequiredImpact of Abstentions and

Broker Non-Votes, if any
Proposal  1:Election of DirectorsA nominee must receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to his or her election, which means that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that nominee.Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently provides that the number of directors shall consist of not less than three nor more than twelve persons. Our bylaws provide that the number of directors, not less than three nor more than twelve persons, shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. The Board of Directors currently consists of eleven Directors. As discussed further below, it is proposed that, at the 20222023 Annual Meeting, the stockholders elect a Board of ten Directors to serve for a term of one year or until their successors are elected and qualify. The Board has resolved that, effective at the 20222023 Annual Meeting, the number of directors of the Company will be reduced to ten. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than ten, which is the number of nominees named in this Proxy Statement. Following discussions with the eleventh director, Mr. Ronald Fenech, regarding his anticipated availability during the upcoming year,Frank J. Crespo, the Board of Directors did not nominate Mr. FenechCrespo to stand for re-election at the 20222023 Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors thanks Mr. FenechCrespo for his years of service and dedication to the Board and his many contributions to the Company.

The Company’s bylaws require Directorsdirectors to be elected under a majority voting standard in uncontested elections. In any contested election, Directorsdirectors will be elected by a plurality vote. In an uncontested election, which the election of directorsDirectors at the 20222023 Annual Meeting will be, each of the nominees, as an incumbent director,Director, was required to submit an irrevocable resignation, contingent on (i) that person not receiving a majority of the votes cast in his or her election, and (ii) acceptance of that resignation by the Board of Directors in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors for such purpose. In the event a nominee in an uncontested election fails to receive a majority of the votes cast, the Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the resignation of such incumbent Director, or whether other action should

be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the resignation, taking into account the Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release and filing an appropriate disclosure with the SEC) its decision regarding the resignation

and, if such resignation is rejected, the rationale behind the decision, within 90 days following certification of the election results. The Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee, in making its recommendation, and the Board of Directors, in making its decision, each may consider any factors and other information that they consider appropriate and relevant. If the Board of Directors accepts a Director’s resignation pursuant to this process, the Board of Directors may fill the resulting vacancy.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS

 

Statement Regarding Corporate Governance

STATEMENT REGARDING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

The Company regularly monitors developments in the area of corporate governance, including rules promulgated by the SEC and the NYSE. The Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures are designed to comply with all laws and rules applicable to corporate governance, and the Company has continually implemented “best practices” as it deems appropriate to protect and enhance stockholders’ interests.

 

The Company’s Governance Principles, as well as the Charters of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee, the Risk Committee, and the Strategy, Acquisition, and Capital Deployment Committee, and the Key Practices of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee, in addition to the Company’s Guidelines for Business Conduct, Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, and Whistleblower Policy, can be accessed on the Company’s website at www.lci1.com/investors under “Governance - Governance Documents.” A copy of any corporate governance document will be furnished, without charge, upon written request to Corporate Secretary, LCI Industries, 3501 County Road 6 East,52567 Independence Ct., Elkhart, Indiana 46514. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.

 

Board of Directors and Director Independence

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Directors are elected annually by the Company’s stockholders for one-year terms. The Board currently consists of nineten independent Directors, and one Director, Jason D. Lippert, who is employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer, and one Director, Ronald J. Fenech, who is affiliated with a customer of the Company.Officer.

 

The Board of Directors reviews, at least annually, the independence of each Director. During these reviews, the Board considers transactions and relationships between each Director (and his or her immediate family and affiliates) and the Company and Management to determine whether any such

transactions or relationships are inconsistent with a determination that the Director is independent. The review is based primarily on responses of the Directors to questions in a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire regarding employment, business, familial, compensation, and other relationships. In reviewing the independence of the Directors, the Board applies the standards that it has adopted to assist it in making determinations of independence and that are contained in the Company’s Governance Principles, which are available on the Company’s website at www.lci1.com/investors under “Governance - Governance Documents.” In March 2022,2023, the Board determined that none of Messrs. Gero, Crespo, Deely, Graham, O’Sullivan, Reed, or Sirpilla, nor Ms.Mses. Henkels, Mains, or Ms. Mains,Myers, has any material relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Board has determined that each of these nineten Directors meets the “independence” standards of the NYSE.

As part of its review of the independence of the Directors, the Board considered the fact that one of the Company’s customers is an entity that manufactures pontoon boats, Barletta Boat Company, LLC (“Barletta”). Prior to the sale of Barletta to Winnebago Industries, Inc. in August 2021, Ronald Fenech, one of our Directors, was a co-owner and director of Barletta, holding a 38% ownership interest. His brother, William Fenech, is the president of Barletta and also a former 38% owner. Although the purchases by Barletta from the Company were, and future purchases will be, entered into in the ordinary course of business on an arm’s length basis, and contained, and will contain, customary terms and conditions on substantially the same terms as comparable transactions with unrelated third parties, in 2021, Barletta paid the Company amounts that exceed the limitation in the director “independence” standards of the NYSE. As a result, the Board determined that Mr. Fenech is not an independent Director. Mr. Fenech does not serve on any of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, or Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee.

 

The independent Directors have complete access to, and are encouraged to communicate with, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and any other executives of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, the Board of Directors held 97 meetings. All Directors attended at least 75% of the regularly scheduled and special meetings of the Board and the Board committees on which they served.



 

NOTICE OF 2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT | LCI INDUSTRIES      23


Directors are expected to attend the Company’s annual meetings. At the Company’s 20212022 Annual Meeting, all Directors standing for election attended virtually.

COMPENSATION-RELATED RISK

 

To identify risks that could be created by our compensation policies and practices, the Compensation Committee reviews enterprise risk management assessments, and evaluates our controls to determine if they adequately mitigate compensation-related risks. If appropriate, controls are modified or supplemented. The Compensation Committee assessed our executive compensation programs and concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation Committee believes our executive compensation programs, including the design of long-term incentive plans, oversight by the Compensation Committee, and sufficiency of control features, prevent unintentional material risk. In addition, stock ownership guidelines, the long-term nature of equity awards, share retention, and incentive compensation forfeiture, taken together, motivate Management to carefully consider risk in making business decisions and evaluating growth opportunities, and mitigate excessive risk-taking to achieve short-term results.

 

COMPENSATION RECOUPMENT POLICY

 

The Board of Directors has adopted a compensation recoupment policy for executive officers that allows for the recovery of performance-based compensation amounts paid under an incentive compensation plan, including any discretionary bonus amounts and equity awards, the amount, payment, and/or vesting of which was calculated based wholly, or in part, on the application of financial performance criteria. The policy applies in the event there is a required financial restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, as determined by the Board of Directors, which results

in performance-based compensation that would have been a lower amount if such compensation had been calculated based on

such restated results. The policy is administered by the Compensation Committee, as more fully described in the policy, which is included in the Compensation Committee Key Practices.

 

In October 2022, the SEC adopted final rules under the Dodd-Frank Act directing national securities exchanges to establish listing standards related to compensation recoupment policies. The NYSE recently posted proposed listing standards requiring listed companies to adopt compensation recoupment policies containing certain provisions. The Compensation Committee will make appropriate modifications to the Company’s compensation recoupment policy to comply with the new listing standards once they are finalized.

DIRECTOR STOCK OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

 

To help align the personal interests of non-employee Directors with the interests of stockholders, all non-employee Directors are required to hold Company Common Stock, RSUs, or DSUs equivalent to 5x each non-employee Director’s annual cash retainer (exclusive of any cash retainer for serving as a Board or Committee chair). Equity interests that count toward satisfaction of the guidelines include shares owned outright by, or held in trust for the benefit of, the individual and his or her immediate family members residing in the same household, plus RSUs, DSUs, and stock awards (whether vested or unvested). Stock options (whether vested or unvested) do not count toward satisfaction of the guidelines. Non-employee Directors are required to achieve ownership in accordance with the guidelines within five years of the date they assume their position. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, all non-employee Directors satisfy the stock ownership requirements or are within that five-year period.





28NOTICE OF 20222023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT|LCI INDUSTRIES27

 

 

 

TEAM MEMBERS AND DIRECTORS GUIDELINES FOR BUSINESS CONDUCT

 

The Company has Guidelines for Business Conduct that all Management team members and Directors are required to annually sign and follow in conducting the Company’s business, and a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers governing the conduct of its President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and the financial officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

MANAGEMENT AND BOARD SUCCESSION

 

The Board periodically reviews with the Chief Executive Officer and maintains a succession plan for executive officers, after considering recommendations from the Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee. The plan is designed to ensure an effective transition of Management of our operations to qualified executives upon the retirement of senior executives. The Board is also responsible for maintaining an emergency succession plan that is reviewed periodically with Management.

 

CONTACTING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Any stockholder, or other interested party, who wishes to communicate with the Board of Directors, or our non-employee Directors as a group, or any member of the Board, may do so electronically by

sending an e-mail to LCII@lci1.com or by writing to any Director c/o LCI Industries, 3501 County Road 6 East, Elkhart, Indiana 46514. Communications received electronically or in writing will be distributed to the Chairman or the other members of the Board, as appropriate, depending on the facts

and circumstances described in communications received. For example, communications regarding accounting, internal accounting, internal accounting controls, and auditing matters generally will be forwarded to the Chair of the Audit Committee.

 

PROHIBITION ON HEDGING BY DIRECTORS AND TEAM MEMBERS

 

The Board of Directors has adopted a Hedging Policy that prohibits the Company’s Directors, executive officers, team members, and their designees from purchasing any financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s Common Stock. This prohibition applies to all shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by such persons. The Hedging Policy does not preclude the Company’s Directors, officers, team members, and their designees from engaging in general portfolio diversification.

(1)Represents the Directors’ annual cash retainer amount and the additional annual cash fee paid to the Chairman of the Board and the Committee Chairs, as applicable, for the period of time they served in the respective positions in 2021,2022, except for Messrs. Crespo, Fenech, Gero, Crespo,and Reed, and Fenech,Mses. Henkels and Ms. Henkels,Mains, who elected to receive DSUs in lieu of their cash compensation for 2021.2022. For those Directors, the amount shown represents the value, as of the date credited, of DSUs issued in lieu of cash compensation in payment of Directors’ fees. To encourage our Directors’ long-term ownership of the Common Stock of the Company, non-employee Directors may elect to accept DSUs in lieu of cash compensation in payment of Directors’ fees. An initial election to defer compensation for a calendar year must be made prior to December 31st of the preceding calendar year. The number of DSUs, credited at the fair market value of the stock on the date credited, is equivalent to 115 percent of the deferred fee. The DSUs are distributed in the form of shares of Common Stock of the Company at the end of the initial restriction or deferral period selected by the Director, subject to earlier distribution upon death, disability, or certain changes-in-control of the Company and are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”(the “Code”).

DISCUSSION OF DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

 

The Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee has responsibility for recommending to the Board compensation and benefits for non-employee Directors. In discharging this duty, the Committee is guided by three goals: (1) compensation should fairly pay Directors for the time and service they provide; (2) compensation should align the interests of Directors with the long-term interests of stockholders; and (3) the structure of the compensation should be simple, transparent, and easy for stockholders to understand. The Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee believes these goals are served by providing non-employee Directors with an annual retainer fee, fees for each meeting attended, or any combination thereof, and an annual stock-based award. Prior to determining compensation for non-employee Directors for fiscal 2021,2022, the Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee also consulted with Willis Towers Watson, the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, regarding Director compensation mix and total compensation for Board and Committee service.

 

For fiscal 2021,2022, non-employee Directors received a combination of an annual cash retainer of $90,000,$100,000, which covers a Director’s attendance at up to 20 Board and Committee meetings, and an annual grant of RSUs valued at approximately $140,000$150,000 on the date of grant, which occurs on the date of the Annual Meeting following their election to the Board for a one-year term. Attendance at any meetings in excess of the 20 earns additional compensation of $1,500 per meeting. The Chairman of the Board and the Chair of each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee, the Risk Committee, and the Strategy, Acquisition, and Capital Deployment Committee received an additional annual fee for the additional responsibilities related to their respective positions. The following table sets forth the additional annual fees for the Board and Committee Chairs that were in effect during 2021:2022:

 

Annual Fee for Board or Committee Chair  Amount   Amount 
Board of Directors $90,000  $100,000 
Audit Committee $20,000  $25,000 
Compensation Committee $16,500  $20,000 
Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Sustainability Committee $15,000  $15,000 
Risk Committee $15,000  $15,000 
Strategy, Acquisition, and Capital Deployment Committee $20,000  $20,000 

 

Annual retainer fees, meeting attendance fees, and chair fees are paid on a quarterly basis.

 

Non-employee Directors who join the Board of Directors other than on the date of an Annual Meeting receive pro-rated retainer amounts and equity awards.

 

As described in more detail in footnote (1) to the table above, to encourage our Directors’ long-term ownership of the Common Stock of the Company, non-employee Directors may elect to accept DSUs in lieu of cash compensation in payment of Directors’ fees.

 

In addition, in May 2022, the following Directors were paid the following additional cash amounts in recognition of significant additional time and effort spent by them related to stockholder outreach and certain other matters: Mr. Graham: $50,000; Mr. Deely: $20,000; Ms. Henkels: $10,000; and Mr. O’Sullivan: $10,000.

Directors who are team members of the Company do not receive additional fees or other compensation for serving as Directors.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

A MESSAGE FROM OUR COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

 

20212022 was aanother year of incredible growth for LCI Industries. While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic created challenges forperformance by LCI Industries, in 2020, including a period of uncertainty and temporary suspension of production for non-essential manufacturing, it also increased RV retail demand as consumers looked for affordable and safe alternative vacation options that avoided large gatherings, air travel, and hotel lodging. This record RV retail demand continued throughout 2021. Combined with the impact of six strategic acquisitions and organic growth in the Aftermarket Segment, LCI Industrieswhich achieved a 60 percent increase in consolidated net sales in 2021 compared to 2020 – ending 2021 with record net sales of $4.5 billion.

Led$5.2 billion, an increase of 16% from full year 2021 net sales, while expanding margins, leading to record net income of $395 million. The increase in year-over-year net sales was primarily driven by price realization, successful acquisitions, and an increase in net sales to OEMs in adjacent industries, partially offset by decreased North American RV wholesale shipments. Our experienced leadership team, agile operational execution, and diversified cost structure helped us deliver a banner year despite macro-economic headwinds. Equally important, our strong culture and talented executive team, Lippert team members came together in 2021enabled us to innovate across all areas of the business and to meet unprecedented demand levels. Their dedication propelled the business forward, resulting in continued growth opportunities that we believe will deliver value to bothnew innovations for our customers and stockholdersstockholders. Our team’s deep industry knowledge and experience navigating fluctuating production schedules will guide us in 20222023 and beyond.

 

As the Compensation Committee, we strive to pay for performance andto ensure the goals and objectives of the executive leadership team are aligned with those of our stockholders, and, at the same time, we maintain pay programs that help retain and motivate Management to drive long-term success for LCI Industries. As you review the following Compensation Discussion and Analysis, (“CD&A”), you will see that the strong business performance we achieved in 20212022 informed our decisions related to executive compensation payouts. We also considerconsidered the market and the unique situation in Elkhart County, Indiana, where our geographic proximity to so many other RV companiescompetitors and industry peers means competition for talent is high. This presents a unique challenge as many of our local competitors are privately held, with largely cash-based compensation programs.

 

At the same time, we remain very committed to stockholder input. AsFor 2022, we updated our compensation program in direct response to investor feedback. First, a resultportion of the 2021 say-on-pay vote,2022 annual cash incentive available to the Compensation Committee spent significant effort gathering feedback from stockholders along with that of proxy advisory firms,named executive officers was shifted to equity and incorporated that feedback into our compensation decisions. In responseeach executive’s annual equity long-term incentive grant to stockholder concerns, we decided to forgobetter align the use of any one-time awards in 2021. We also expanded our stock ownership guidelines to include allexecutives’ interests with those of our stockholders. In addition, the performance stock units awarded to the named executive officers. In addition, LCI Industries has increased its focusofficers in March 2022 provide that the number of units that can be earned is based on environmental, social,whether and governanceto what extent Return on Invested Capital (“ESG”ROIC”) factors.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors oversees LCI Industries’ executive compensation philosophy and reviews and approves compensation for our named executive officers. While LCI Industries’ Management and our independent compensation consultant provide input, it is the sole responsibility of the Compensation Committee to approve our executive compensation philosophy, plans, policies, programs, and decisions. We look forward to reporting on our performance and compensation programs in the future, and we thank you for your engagement.

SUPPORTING OUR PAY-FOR- PERFORMANCEPAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY

In support of our pay-for-performance philosophy and achievement of strong Company performance, the majority of the total direct compensation opportunity that our President and CEO and other named executive officers receive is “at-risk” and dependent upon future performance.

Consistent with the Company’s overall executive compensation philosophy, named executive officers are rewarded for their strong leadership and Company performance while providing them withand provided equity incentives to ensure alignment of their interests with those of our stockholders. For Mr. Lippert, 88% of his total direct compensation opportunity (base salary, target annual cash incentive, and target equity grants) is at-risk, as shown below.

ALIGNING PAY WITH PERFORMANCE

We emphasize variable pay rather than fixed pay, with target opportunities based on market practices and payments based on performance. The structure of our executive compensation program ensures that as an executive’s scope of responsibility increases, a greater portion of his compensation comes from performance-based pay. For 2021, the performance-based components of our executive compensation program were designed as follows:

Short-Term IncentiveLong-Term Incentive
Annual Cash IncentivePerformance-Based Equity (60%)Time-Based Equity (40%)

Stockholder Input on Executive Compensation

We value the opinions of our stockholders and regularly solicit inputare committed to regular engagement that enables LCI Industries to better understand investor perspectives on our Company and our executive compensation program. In evaluating the design of our executive compensation and the compensation decisions for each of our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers stockholder feedback, including the advisory “say-on-pay” vote at our annual meeting. In 2021, 23%2022, 97% of the votes cast approved the compensation of our named executive officers. We responded with a proactive outreach program led by our Compensation Committee Chair in place during this time, Tracy Graham.

In the springMarch and April of 2021,2022, we reached out to and solicited feedback from the holders of 71%79% of institutionally held shares. The following stockholder engagement activities allowed us to gather input with respect toMr. Hall and Frank Crespo, Compensation Committee Chair, both participated in these meetings. Through these engagements, we collected meaningful feedback on various topics, including our executive compensation program:and incentives, performance measurement, operations, and sustainability plans. Our management team also had ongoing interaction with investors throughout 2022 to discuss our business, operating environment, financial results, and sustainability efforts at a series of conferences and roadshows, in addition to Company-hosted events and quarterly conference calls. During the year, LCI Industries held more than 39 investor calls, attended three investor conferences and four non-deal roadshow events, and hosted an Investor Briefing event for stockholders and analysts.

General investor engagement events: The Company participated in various investor engagement events that gave Management the opportunity to engage with institutional stockholders to discuss the current and forward-looking business environment.

-Management attended the virtual Baird 2021 Global Consumer, Technology & Services Conference, and CL King Best Ideas Conference, among others.

-The Company participated in Non-Deal Roadshows (NDRs) with the majority of our covering analysts, which attracted a high volume of investors, given the virtual environment.

Investor outreach regarding compensation: The Company’s CFO, Brian Hall, and the Compensation Committee Chair in place during this time, Tracy Graham, participated in a series of outreach calls with some of the Company’s top stockholders in December 2020 and January 2021. The conversations with stockholders were focused on compensation, and the Company’s leadership received helpful feedback on how investors evaluate this topic, what they consider best practices, and suggestions to the Compensation Committee on how to adjust the current remuneration framework. A summary of this feedback and the Company’s response is below.

Stockholder FeedbackThe Company’s Response
Short-Term
Incentives
Stockholders expressed that the discretion applied to the 2020 AIP awards, which adjusted payouts upwards, was not favorable.Changes made to the 2020 AIP awards were restricted to the removal of the month of April from the performance measurement period for the financial metric used. The decision to apply the Committee’s discretion was due to lockdowns imposed on certain facilities during that month. The Compensation Committee recognizes negative investor feedback to that change and refrained from making similar alterations this year.
Long-Term
Incentives
Stockholders requested that the Company discontinue use of one-time LTI awards and instead use the existing compensation programs to reward executives, even in the case of acquisitions.The Company did not grant one-time awards in 2021. While certain one-off awards granted in the past are not yet fully vested, the Company did not provide any bonus or grants which are not part of the regular Annual Incentive Plan or the LTI plan.
Stockholders opposed grants of PSUs linked to acquisitions instead of awards linked to executives’ performance across the board.In the current executive compensation programs, acquisitions are no longer a metric to measure executive performance. PSUs within the LTI plan rely on ROIC as the performance metric.
Stockholders requested more information about the Compensation Committee’s process to evaluate and define performance metrics used in the STI and LTI plans.The Company provides more information about the process of evaluating metrics in the below sections “Role of the Compensation Committee” and “Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant.”

To strengthen our pay-for-performance culture, the Compensation Committee considers the feedback obtained from our investor outreach when making decisions relating to compensation for our named executive officers. We remain committed to ongoing, proactive stockholder outreach throughout 20222023 and into the future. The Board strongly believes in engagement, communication, and transparency with the Company’s stockholders. The Company regularly participates in investor conferences and holds numerous meetings with institutional stockholders to discuss our financial performance, strategy, corporate governance, ESG practices, human capital management, and executive compensation program. The Company is committed to ongoing engagement with its investors on all appropriate matters, including executive compensation and governance.

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee administers the executive compensation program for all named executive officers as well as other executives within the Company. While Company Management provides input, it is the responsibility of the Compensation Committee to evaluate and approve our executive compensation philosophy, plans, policies, programs, and decisions.

The following table provides the steps the Compensation Committee follows to ensure the total compensation for our named executive officers is competitive, appropriately tied to performance, and does not promote undue risk taking.

STEP 1:

Input on Compensation
STEP 2:

Compensation Committee Decisions
STEP 3:

Performance Goals

At the beginning of each year, Management, including the President and CEO, provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee on the compensation of the named executive officers. The CEO does not make recommendations on his own pay.

These recommendations take into consideration the competitive market pay data provided by the Compensation Committee’s independent consultant and applicable to the RV industry in Elkhart County, Indiana, as well as an evaluation of the named executive officer’s role, contributions and performance in achieving Company performance, and long-term potential.

(See more below on the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant.)

The Compensation Committee considers these recommendations together with the input of its independent compensation consultant, and subsequently the Compensation Committee determines the named executive officers’ compensation, ensuring that it is aligned with our compensation philosophy.

All aspects of the CEO’s compensation are determined solely by the Compensation Committee, with input from its independent compensation consultant.

For the coming year, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves:approves each NEO’s:

Base salary

Variable pay target opportunities for annual cash incentive compensation and long-term equity incentives

Performance metrics for the annual cash incentive and equity grants

The Compensation Committee ensures that performance metrics are consistent with the financial, operational, and strategic goals set by the Board, that the performance goals are sufficiently ambitious, and that amounts paid (when specified performance levels are achieved) are consistent with our executive compensation philosophy.

Role of the Independent Compensation ConsultantROLE OF THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

Though the Compensation Committee has ultimate responsibility for compensation-related decisions, it retains Willis Towers Watson as a consultant on executive compensation matters. Willis Towers Watson provides market analyses and input that inform the Committee’s decisions, provides updates on market trends and the regulatory environment as it relates to executive compensation, reviews various executive compensation proposals presented by Management to the Compensation Committee, and works with the Compensation Committee to validate and strengthen the pay-for-performance relationship and alignment with stockholders.

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Committee has reviewed the SEC’s independence factors for compensation advisers and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Willis Towers Watson from independently representing the Committee.

Role of the Executive

Compensation Peer Group

To help ensure we provide our named executive officers with fair and market-competitive compensation and to support retention of our key leaders, we annually review the compensation we offer our executives against executives within our peer group of companies.

In 2021,2022, this peer group consisted of companies determined to be:


Similar in size (revenue and market capitalization), complexity, and global reach to LCI Industries;


In the auto parts and equipment industry or a similar industry; and


In competition with LCI Industries for executive talent.





We design our total compensation


packages to provide pay for


 performance, tracking when our


results exceed or fall short of our


financial and operational goals.






 

Challenges We Face in

the RV Industry

Defining our executive compensation peer group is a challenge given the complexity of our business as well as our concentrated geographic footprint. The Compensation Committee considers the unique situation in Elkhart County, Indiana, where our geographic proximity to so many other RV companiescompetitors and industry peers means competition for talent is high. Attracting talent to Elkhart County is an ever-present challenge as well. Thus, while many of our competitors are not publicly-tradedpublicly traded companies, and therefore, do not disclose their compensation practices for benchmarking, we must consider local pay practices as we make decisions about executive compensation. We look at market data alongside our decades of industry experience and knowledge of local RV industry pay practices and models to help ensure the Company can incentivize and engage our talented senior leadership team and broader workforce who are key to our continued business success.

Our peer group is regularly reviewed by the Compensation Committee with consideration given to our strategy and the advice of its independent compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee used the peer group on the right in making 20212022 executive compensation decisions.

Annual Cash Incentive

Under our 20212022 AIP, we provide named executive officers with the opportunity to earn a cash incentive award when they deliver strong annual Company financial performance. Annual cash incentives are paid based on the Company’s achievement of annual performance goals determined by the Compensation Committee within the first 90 days of each year.

Annual Incentive Plan

In February 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee approved the annual performance metrics, goals, and payout structure for the 20212022 AIP. For 2021,2022, the AIP was simplified to focusagain focused on one metric, Adjusted EBIT, as it is a key indicator of the strength of our business, it aligns with our local competitors and peer groups,group, and the Compensation Committee believes that it drives long-term stockholder return.

Based on feedback received from investors, a portion of the 2022 annual cash incentive available to the named executive officers was shifted to equity and incorporated into each executive’s annual equity long-term incentive grant to better align the executives’ interests with those of our stockholders. As a result, the 2022 Target Incentive for each named executive officer, except Mr. Namenye, was decreased from the prior year. Mr. Namenye’s Target Incentive was increased from $425,000 to $450,000 to more closely align with the market.

The 20212022 Adjusted EBIT target goal was set at $265$445 million, a 19%67.9% increase over the prior year. Each named executive officer has the opportunity to earn a predetermined target cash incentive amount (“his Target Incentive”)Incentive if the Company achieves the Adjusted EBIT target goal for the year. The actual payout can range from 0% to 200% of the Target Incentive for the CEO and 0% to 175% of the Target Incentives defined for the other NEOsnamed executive officers, depending on the Company’s level of achievement of the Adjusted EBIT goal as shown in the table below:

Maximum $362,250,000  200% of Target Incentive 175% of Target Incentive

(1)For the 2022 AIP, the Compensation Committee determined that Adjusted EBIT results within 2% above or below the target goal would be paid at 100% of Target Incentive. As a result, adjusted EBIT between $436,100,000 to $453,900,000 would be paid at 100% of Target Incentive.

 

Under the 20212022 AIP, to the extent the overall threshold for Adjusted EBIT of $225,250,000$311,500,000 is achieved or exceeded, the payment amount for each participant would be calculated by multiplying the participant’s Target Incentive amount by the applicable incentive payout percentage as set forth in the table above. When Adjusted EBIT performance is between inflection points set forth above, linear interpolation is used to determine the payout amount.amount, other than results within 2% above or below the target level as noted above.

For purposes of the 20212022 AIP, Adjusted EBIT means the Company’s 20212022 consolidated net income before interest and taxes, as adjusted by the Committee for events that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring, including, without limitation, a change in control, acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring activities, or asset write-downs, or for changes in applicable tax laws or accounting principles.

20212022 Annual Incentive Plan Payouts (paid in March 2022)2023)

In February 2022,2023, the Committee met and determined the degree to which the Adjusted EBIT goal under the 20212022 AIP was achieved. Actual Adjusted EBIT results in 20212022 were very strong at $398$553 million, resulting in a payout level of 200% of the Target Incentive amount for the CEO and 175% of the respective Target Incentive amounts for the other named executive officers. Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to Appendix A to this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP measure.

As a result of the Compensation Committee’s determinations as described above, the following table sets forth the cash incentive payment amount to each named executive officer under the 20212022 AIP:

Name 2021 Target Incentive Cash Payout Under 2021 AIP Actual as a % of Target

Equity Grants

Equity grants help to align executive interests with those of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee uses both PSUs and RSUs in our annual equity long-term incentive grants to retain and motivate our executives to achieve long-term performance.

Annual Equity Long-Term Incentive Grants

Annual equity grants are typically made in March of each year.

The following criteria are evaluated for each of our named executive officers when determining the value of their annual equity award:


Performance over the long term;


Performance during the prior year;


Long-term potential;


Retention considerations; and


Market practices for comparable positions.

(GRAPHIC)


In addition, for the 2022 annual equity awards, a portion of the 2022 annual cash incentive for named executive officers was shifted to equity and incorporated into each executive’s annual equity long-term incentive grant to better align the executives’ interests with those of our stockholders. As a result, the 2022 target value of equity grants for each named executive officer increased over the prior year.

In February 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee approved the amounts, terms, and conditions for the equity grants to be awarded in March 20212022 of PSUs and RSUs for the Company’s senior officers, including the named executive officers, pursuant to the 2018 Plan. For each of the named executive officers, a total dollar value for the equity grant was established based on the criteria listed above (“Equity Value”). That Equity Value iswas converted to units based on the 15-day average trading price through the date of grant. For 2021,2022, the Equity Value for Mr. Lippert was allocated based on a mix of 60%approximately 67% PSUs and 40%33% RSUs. The mix for the other NEOs was, on average, 61% PSUs and 39% RSUs.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PROGRAMS

In 2021,2022, we provided retirement benefits to our named executive officers through the defined contribution retirement savings plan, which is the same plan available to all team members. We do not maintain any defined benefit retirement plans or other pension or profit-sharing plans.

In 2021,2022, the Company matched a portion of contributions to the 401(k) plan up to the 20212022 statutory maximum of $11,600$12,200 per team member. The aggregate amount of the Company’s contributions with respect to the named executive officers was $58,000$61,000 for 2021.2022. Although our 401(k) plan permits profit-sharing contributions, the Company has not made any such contributions to the plan.

To provide a means for deferral of taxation on compensation, the Company maintains an Executive Non- QualifiedNon-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”) for certain executives, including the named executive officers. The Company does not make any contributions to the Deferral Plan but is responsible for certain costs of Deferral Plan administration, which are not significant. Pursuant to the Deferral Plan, the named executive officers are eligible to defer all or a portion of their earned base salary and incentive compensation. Each participant is fully vested in all deferred compensation and earnings on investments credited to his or her account because the Deferral Plan participant has made all the contributions. Pursuant to the Deferral Plan, payments to the participants will be made from our general unrestricted assets, and the obligations pursuant to the Deferral Plan are unfunded and unsecured.

OTHER BENEFITS

As a competitive team member benefit, we provide team member health insurance in which the named executive officers participate, the aggregate cost of which for the named executive officers was $53,838$49,146 for 2021.2022. We also provide other team member benefits in which the named executive officers participate, including life and disability insurance, and an automobile allowance together with related expenses. We do not provide or reimburse our executives for personal use of an airplane, or for financial planning, tax preparation, or home security.

SEVERANCE

In February 2015,June 2022, the Compensation Committee approved and adopted a form of Executive Employment Agreement for senior officers that has an initial three-year term with automatic one-year renewals and that provides severance payments or other benefits under certain circumstances following termination. The Compensation Committee believes the Executive Employment Agreements serve as appropriate retention tools for the Company’s executives by providing security in the event of an unplanned termination of employment for reasons other than cause. Furthermore, from time to time, we examine various strategic alternatives, and the provisions of the Executive Employment Agreements are important to retain these key executives whose continued employment might be at risk for reasons other than cause. The specific terms of the Executive Employment Agreements are summarized in “Potential Payments on Termination or Change-in Control”Change-in-Control” on page 55.56.

The 2011 Plan and the 2018 Plan, and the related award agreements, contain provisions regarding treatment of outstanding equity awards upon a change in control of the Company and upon certain terminations of employment, as further described in “Potential Payments on Termination or Change-in- Control”Change-in-Control” on page 55.56.

 

OTHER KEY FEATURES OF OUR
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

 

As we look to the future of the Company, we have adopted policies to help drive sustainable growth by further aligning the financial interests of our

executives and stockholders with long-term stock price performance. This will help limit excessive risk-taking and executive misconduct through stock ownership guidelines and a clawback policy, as outlined below.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

To further align the personal interests of senior executives with the interests of our stockholders, we have updated ourOur guidelines for ownership of the Company’s common stock to include all of our NEOs, effective January 26, 2022.named executive officers, which aligns their interests with those of our stockholders. Stock ownership guidelines are set forth as a multiple of the executive’s cash base salary as of December 31, 2021,2022, as displayed in the following table:

Position

Stock Ownership Guideline

CEO5 times base salary
All Other NEOs4 times base salary

 

Equity interests that count toward satisfaction of the guidelines include shares owned outright by, or held in trust for the benefit of, the executive and his immediate family members residing in the same household, plus DSUs and RSUs (whether vested or unvested), as well as earned PSUs (if unearned, the target number is included, or if earned, the earned number is included, whether(whether vested or unvested). These executives are required to achieve ownership in accordance with the guidelines within three years of the date they assume their position or the date the guidelines were updated, whichever occurs later. AtAs of December 31, 2021,2022, all of the NEOs were in compliance with the guidelines or within the applicable three-year period.





  

 

 

 

 

Clawback Policy

The Dodd-Frank Act requires the SEC to adopt rules requiring companies to develop and implement a policy to recapture excess incentive compensation that was paid to certain executives if based on erroneous financial statements (“clawback”). Final rules have not yet been adopted implementing the clawback requirements. Rather than continue to wait for such rules, in 2014, the Board of Directors determined it was prudent to adoptCompany currently has a compensation recoupment policy for executive officers that allows for the recovery of performance-based compensation amounts paid under an incentive compensation plan, including any discretionary bonus amounts and equity awards under the 2011 Plan or 2018 Plan, or any successor plan, the amount, payment, and/or vesting of which was calculated based wholly, or in part, on the application of financial performance criteria. The policy applies in the event there is a required financial restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, as determined by the Board of Directors, which results in performance-based compensation that would have been a lower amount if such compensation had been calculated based on such restated results. The policy is administered by the Compensation Committee, as more fully described in the policy. The Company may amend its policy whenIn October 2022, the SEC promulgatesadopted final rules under the final rules.Dodd-Frank Act directing national securities exchanges to establish listing standards related to compensation recoupment policies. The NYSE recently posted proposed listing standards requiring listed companies

to adopt compensation recoupment policies containing certain provisions. The Compensation Committee will make appropriate modifications to the Company’s recoupment policy to comply with the new listing standards once they are finalized.

Additionally, all awards of incentive compensation are granted subject to the the 2018 Plan, which provides that the Compensation Committee may review any equity award if the amount, payment, or vesting of such award was based on an entry in the financial statements that is the subject of a restatement, and cancel all or any portion of such awards and require the participant to repay to the Company all or any portion of the gain realized on the exercise of equity awards and the value realized on other awards.

Impact of Tax Treatment on Compensation

 

Section 162(m) of the Code limits deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers to $1 million per covered officer in any fiscal year. The Committee believes that stockholder interests are best served if its discretion and flexibility in structuring and awarding compensation isare not restricted, even though some compensation awards may result in non-deductible compensation expenses to the Company. The Committee also takes into account whether components of our compensation program may be subject to the penalty tax associated with Section 409A of the Code and aims to structure the elements of compensation to be compliant with or exempt from Section 409A to avoid such potential adverse tax consequences.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

 

In February 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee approved the 20212022 AIP, under which participants could earn incentive compensation based on the level of achievement of certain financial performance measurements in 2021,2022, which for 20212022 was based on goals for Adjusted EBIT. In February 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of the 20212022 ROIC PSUs and the annual RSUs under the 2018 Plan to the named executive officers. For additional information regarding the 20212022 AIP and these equity awards, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Analysis of 20212022 Compensation Decisions.”

 

Equity Award and Incentive Plans

May 24, 2018, under the 2011LCI Industries

Equity Award and Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “2011 Plan”) that subsequently expire, are forfeited or canceled, are settled for cash, are not issued in shares, or are tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price or satisfy any tax withholding obligations related to the award. Following our stockholders’ approval of the 2018 Plan, no further awards may be made under the 2011 Plan. Executive officers and other team members of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and non-employee Directors, consultants, and others who provide substantial services to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, are eligible to be granted awards under the 2018 Plan.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

 

The Company maintains an Executive Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.Plan (the “Deferral Plan”). The Company does not make any contributions to the Deferral Plan, but is responsible for certain costs of administration, which are not significant. Pursuant to the Deferral Plan, the NEOs are eligible to defer all or a portion of their earned base salary and incentive compensation. The Deferral Plan participant is fully vested in all deferred compensation and earnings credited to the participant’s account because the participant has made all the contributions. Pursuant to the Deferral Plan, payments to the participants will be made from the Company’s general unrestricted assets, and the obligations pursuant to the Deferral Plan are unfunded and unsecured.

 

The Deferral Plan participant’s account is deemed invested (but is not actually invested) among various deemed investment alternatives selected by the participant. The Company has elected to invest a portion of the compensation deferred by the participant in life insurance policies for the benefit of the Company. The investments within these life insurance policies track the deemed investments selected by the participant in order to generate the funds needed to make payments to the participants. The deemed investments selected by the participant determine the amount of earnings and losses that are credited to the participant’s account.

The number of PSUs included in these amounts consists of (a) the actual number of PSUs earned for the completed performance periods that included 20212022 and (b) the maximum number of shares which the participant is eligible to receive if applicable performance metrics are fully achieved with respect to the PSUs granted in 20212022 that will be earned depending on the level of achievement of ROIC-relatedROIC performance goals over the two-yearthree-year measurement period of 2021-2022.2022-2024. The actual number of shares that will be issued under the PSUs referenced in clause (b) depends on the performance over the applicable performance period.

 


(2)DSUs, PSUs, and RSUs do not have an exercise price and, therefore, they have been excluded from the weighted average exercise price calculation in this column.

 


(3)Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, which was approved by stockholders in May 2018, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, other stock-based awards, and cash incentive awards. Prior to the stockholders’ approval of the 2018 Plan, the Company could grant equity-based awards, such as stock options, restricted stock, performance shares, and DSUs, pursuant to the 2011 Plan. No further awards may be made under the 2011 Plan. The number of PSUs included in the amounts in this column in the table removes from the number of securities remaining available for future issuance (a) the actual number of PSUs earned for the completed performance periods of 20212022 and (b) the maximum number of shares which the participant is eligible to receive if applicable performance metrics are fully achieved with respect to the PSUs described in footnote (1) above. If the target number of unearned PSU awards was used in this calculation, instead of the maximum number used in the table above, the number of shares available for grant of new awards under the 2018 Plan was 1,195,9931,032,403 as of December 31, 2021.2022.

CEO PAY RATIO

We are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our team members and the annual total compensation of Jason D. Lippert, our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”):

For 2021,2022, our last completed fiscal year:

the annual total compensation of our median team member was $53,338; and

the annual total compensation of our median team member was $54,079; and

the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included on page 48 of this Proxy Statement, was $10,993,750.

the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included on page 49 of this Proxy Statement, was $10,533,675.

Based on this information for fiscal year 2021,2022, we reasonably estimate that the ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our median team member was 206:195:1. We used reasonable estimates in the methodology used to identify the median team member and calculate the annual total compensation of the median team member in a manner consistent with SEC rules and guidance. Our pay ratio estimate has been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

As of December 31, 2021,2022, our employee population consisted of approximately 12,33611,050 U.S. team members and 1,6561,725 non-U.S. team members. We elected to exclude all of our team members located in Tunisia (129(approximately 110 individuals total) from our determination of the median team member pursuant to the de minimis exemption permitted under SEC rules. The median employee was selected from an adjusted team member population of 13,86312,665 employees (excluding our CEO).

We identified our median employee based on the total payroll earnings actually paid during fiscal year 20212022 to the above-mentioned 13,86312,665 members of our workforce (including full-time and part-time), other than our CEO, who were employed on December 31, 2021.2022.

For purposes of determining the total payroll earnings actually paid, we included: the amount of base salary the team member received during the year, the amount of any cash incentives paid to the team member in the year (which include annual

cash incentives that are generally paid in January or February for performance during the prior fiscal year), and the value of any equity grants that vested during the year based on the value of the shares on the date of vesting. We did not include any adjustments for the value of benefits provided, but we did include certain adjustments for the annualization of pay for any team members who were employed by us for only part of the year.

Once we identified our median team member, we then determined that team member’s total compensation, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determine the total compensation of our NEOs for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table disclosed above. The elements included in the CEO’s total compensation are fully discussed above in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table.

The following charts show, for each of 2020, 2021, and 2022, the relationship between CAP to our PEO and to the average of our Non-PEO NEOs, to our TSR, our peer group’s TSR, our net income, and our Adjusted EBIT.

 

NOTICE OF 2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT| LCI INDUSTRIES63 


 

TSR was not used as a performance measure in our 2022 annual cash incentive or equity programs. However, the fact that stock price impacts the value of outstanding and vested equity awards means that there is some relationship between CAP and our TSR performance.

Our company-selected measure is Adjusted EBIT, which accounted for 100% of the outcome under our annual cash incentive program in 2022. Even with the weight of this measure in our incentive framework, there is a limited relationship with CAP. Similarly, we do not use GAAP net income in our incentive plans. Accordingly, there is a limited relationship with CAP.

Tabular List of Company Performance Measures

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBIT is identified as the most important financial performance measure in linking “compensation actually paid” to our performance; Adjusted EBIT was the only performance measure used in our annual cash incentive program in 2022. The other most important financial performance measure used in 2022 in linking “compensation actually paid” to our performance is ROIC; ROIC was the only performance measure used in our PSU awards granted in 2022. We only used these two financial measures in our 2022 incentive plans, so only those two are being disclosed in the following table.

Proposal 2. ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

SEC rules require that the Company seek a non-binding advisory vote from its stockholders to approve the compensation of our NEOs as described in this Proxy Statement.

Our executive compensation policy is designed to enable the Company to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified senior executives who have the skills to drive our continued profitability, growth, and success by providing a competitive compensation opportunity based significantly on performance. Our intent is to provide fair and equitable compensation in a way that rewards executives for achieving specified financial goals. Our performance-related awards are structured to link a substantial portion of our executives’ total potential compensation to the Company’s performance on both a long-term and short-term basis, to recognize individual contributions, as well as overall business results, and to align executive and stockholder interests. Accordingly, we reward performance in excess of pre-established targets of, generally, Adjusted EBIT and ROIC, and we avoided establishing goals that could divert our executives’ attention from the fundamentals of effective and efficient operations. A significant portion of the total compensation paid to our NEOs is in the form of long-term equity.

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 20, 2021,19, 2022, in the advisory vote, 23%97% of the votes cast voted in favor of the 20202021 compensation. We believe the compensation program changes that we have implemented this year, and have put in place going forward, help align executive and stockholder interests. Although the vote was non-binding, the Compensation Committee reviewed the results of the vote and engaged in the stockholder outreach program described beginning on page 3637 of this Proxy Statement.

We are requesting stockholder advisory approval of the compensation paid to our NEOs as described in this Proxy Statement, including the disclosures under “Executive Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the compensation tables, and the related information and discussion. The vote is intended to address the overall compensation paid to our NEOs and the policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

The vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee, or the Board of Directors. However, we value the opinions of our stockholders, and we will carefully consider the outcome of the advisory vote on executive compensation when making future compensation decisions.

For the reasons stated, the Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the following non-binding resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s NEOs, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and related information and discussion, is hereby APPROVED."

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR adoption of the resolution approving the compensation paid to our NEOs as described in this Proxy Statement. 



66     NOTICE OF 2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT|LCI INDUSTRIES


Proposal 3. ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As required pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, we are providing stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on how frequently we will hold future non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation as provided for in the previous proposal. By voting on this proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on executive compensation once every one, two, or three years. In connection withaddition, stockholders may abstain from voting. We last conducted a non-binding advisory vote on the stockholder preference expressedfrequency of the say-on-pay vote at theour 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which a majority of our stockholders voted to hold the say-on-pay vote every year, and we have since held the say-on-pay vote on an annual basis.

Since we are required to hold an advisory vote on frequency at least once every six years, and it has been six years since the last such frequency vote, we are including in this proxy statement a

proposal for a non-binding advisory vote as to whether future say-on-pay votes should be held every year, every two years, or every three years. After consideration, the Board of Directors has determined that stockholderan advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every year continues to be the most appropriate alternative for LCI Industries. Therefore, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote for an annual advisory vote on executive compensation.

The Board of Directors will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation will occur oncompensation. However, because this vote is advisory and non-binding, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to hold an annual basis. Therefore, the next advisory vote will occurmore or less frequently than the alternative that has been selected by stockholders.



The Board of Directors recommends that you vote for a frequency of ONE YEAR as most appropriate for the Company and its stockholders at our 2022 Annual Meeting.this time.

 

 

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR adoption of the resolution approving the compensation paid to our NEOs as described in this Proxy Statement.

APPENDIX A

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Under the Company’s 20212022 AIP approved by the Compensation Committee for the Company’s senior officers, participants earn incentive compensation based on the results of Company financial performance measurements for the program year which, for 2021,2022, was based on Adjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBIT as consolidated net income before interest and taxes (labeled “Operating profit” on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income), as adjusted by the Committee for events that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring, including without limitation a change in control, acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring activities, or asset write-downs, or for changes in applicable tax laws or accounting principles. Adjusted EBIT is not calculated in accordance with, nor is it a substitute for, GAAP measures. The Company considers non-GAAP Adjusted EBIT as a profitability measure in evaluating and managing the Company’s operations and in evaluating the performance of its senior officers. The determination of Adjusted EBIT may not be comparable to similarly-titledsimilarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is provided below.
