CEO & President Commentary

"I'm proud of our team's ability to drive a strong close to the December quarter, generating the highest first quarter revenue in our history. This growth came despite a challenging retail environment which required us to take more aggressive pricing actions than expected," said Brett McGill, Chief Executive Officer and President of MarineMax. "Our pricing actions did result in lower gross margins and profitability. This was primarily due to increased discounting on certain boat models in response to the softer retail environment, as well as a greater mix of larger boats, which historically carry a lower gross margin than other product categories."

"However, with the seasonally smallest quarter of the year behind us, we are cautiously encouraged by the reasonably strong start to the winter boat show season, along with the increased support from our industry leading manufacturing partners. Our healthy balance sheet and strong cash position allow us to continue to execute on our long-term growth plans. In fiscal 2024, we are focused on capturing further synergies and increasing the earnings power of MarineMax imbedded in the acquisitions we completed over the past several years. In addition, we continue to expand our portfolio of higher-margin product and service offerings that complement our business model," McGill said. "This month, we announced the planned acquisition of Williams Tenders USA, the exclusive distributor in the United States and the Caribbean for the premier brand of rigid inflatable jet tenders for the luxury yacht market. The growth of the yacht and luxury yacht markets represents a tailwind for our business as we advance our strategic priorities."

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Results

Revenue in the fiscal 2024 first quarter increased to $527.3 million from $507.9 million in the comparable period last year. The 4% top-line growth was driven largely by higher new and used boat sales, contributing to a 4% increase in same-store sales.

Gross profit decreased 6.1% to $175.5 million from $186.9 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit margin of 33.3%, while historically high, decreased 350 basis points from 36.8% in the fiscal 2023 first quarter, primarily as the result of a more aggressive promotional environment in response to retail environment challenges during the 2024 first quarter.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled $156.5 million, or 29.7% of revenue, in the first quarter, compared with $150.4 million, or 29.6% of revenue, for the same period last year. The increase was driven primarily by acquisitions completed during the year, as well as inflation and other specific cost increases.

Interest expense was $18.4 million, or 3.5% of revenue in the first quarter, compared with $9.5 million, or 1.9% of revenue in the prior-year period, reflecting higher interest rates and increased inventory in the fiscal 2024 period.

Net income in the first quarter was $0.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $19.7 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Adjusted net income¹ in the first quarter was $4.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with $27.3 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $26.6 million, compared with $53.2 million for the same period last year.

Fiscal 2024 Guidance

Based on results to date, current business conditions, retail trends and other factors, the Company is updating its fiscal year 2024 Adjusted net income^1,2 guidance to a range of $3.20 to $3.70 per diluted share. The Company also is revising fiscal year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA^1,2 guidance in the range of $190 million to $215 million. These expectations do not consider or give effect for, among other things, material acquisitions that may be completed by the Company during fiscal 2024 or other unforeseen events, including changes in global economic conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release, along with the above Supplemental Financial Information table, contains "Adjusted net income" and "Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization" ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under applicable securities legislation. In determining these measures, the Company excludes certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are key performance indicators that improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company's results and provide investors with more insight into, and an additional tool to understand and assess, the performance of the Company's ongoing core business operations. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the above reconciliation and should consider these non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In addition, we have not reconciled our fiscal year 2024 Adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (the corresponding GAAP measure for each), which is not accessible on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to acquisition contingent consideration and acquisition costs. Acquisition contingent consideration and acquisition costs, which are likely to be significant to the calculation of net income, are affected by the integration and post-acquisition performance of our acquirees, which is difficult to predict and subject to change. Accordingly, reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA are not available without unreasonable effort.
