CEO & President Commentary

"Resilient is the word that captures the spirit of our team members, who have shown extraordinary dedication and perseverance in the face of the devastating storms that hit Florida and the southeast over the past month," said Brett McGill, Chief Executive Officer and President of MarineMax. "Hurricanes Helene and Milton have caused significant damage across the region. Our team members have been at the forefront, ensuring that our operations continue and that we provide essential support to our customers. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and dedication during this challenging time. We are committed to supporting the affected areas with assistance throughout this journey. It is encouraging to see the progress that has already occurred in such a short period of time.

"As previously disclosed, the effects of Hurricane Helene significantly impacted our fourth-quarter results, causing damage and disruption to a number of our locations along the west coast of Florida. Hurricane Milton has exacerbated the damage," McGill said. "Despite their personal challenges in the wake of these storms, our team has been assisting customers while simultaneously reopening our stores. Our Sarasota location, which sustained significant damage from Hurricane Milton, also is open and operating except for the marina, which requires additional repairs.

"From an operational perspective, we performed well in light of what has proven to be one of the more challenging years for our industry," McGill said. "With sizable month-over-month industrywide declines in unit sales, our ability to generate annual same-store sales growth in fiscal 2024 is a testament to the success of our long-term strategy.

"Our fourth-quarter performance, in particular, highlights the progress we have made to strengthen our financial profile by building a meaningful presence in higher-margin businesses, including marinas, storage facilities, and superyacht services," McGill said. "Our ability to maintain a gross margin above 34% despite boat margins being at or below pre-pandemic levels, along with a 5% decrease in fourth-quarter sales, speaks to the success of that effort.

"As part of our long-term improvement plan, we implemented further strategic cost-cutting actions during the fourth quarter, including consolidating certain retail locations," McGill said. "Expense reduction remains a focus in fiscal 2025, with the goal of driving improved operating leverage."

Fiscal 2024 Fourth Quarter Results

Revenue in the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter decreased 5% to $563.1 million from $594.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2023, primarily reflecting lower boat sales due to the closure of boat and yacht insurance markets as Hurricane Helene approached Florida. As a result, revenue on a comparable same-store basis decreased 5% from the prior-year period, versus 8% last year.

Gross profit decreased 5% to $193.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 from $203.7 million in the prior-year period. Despite lower boat margins and revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, gross profit margin remained consistent with the prior-year period at 34.3%, driven by the increased contribution of higher-margin businesses including finance and insurance, marinas and the Company's Superyacht Division.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $166.4 million, or 29.5% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with $169.4 million, or 28.5% of revenue, for the comparable period of fiscal 2023. Excluding transaction costs, changes in contingent consideration, weather events, and other items, Adjusted SG&A² in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased by approximately $5.1 million, or 3%, from the same period in fiscal 2023. Adjusted SG&A² in the 2024 period was $163.5 million, or 29.0% of revenue.

Interest expense was $17.9 million, or 3.2% of revenue in the fourth quarter, compared with $15.8 million, or 2.7% of revenue in the prior-year period, reflecting higher borrowings due primarily to increased inventory compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Income tax provision increased year-over-year primarily due to non-cash tax expenses related to equity compensation that vested in the fourth quarter as well as increased taxes on foreign earnings.

Net income in the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter was $4.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with net income of $15.1 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Adjusted net income¹ in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $5.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared with $15.8 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $33.5 million, compared with $42.6 million for the comparable period of fiscal 2023.

Fiscal 2025 Guidance

Based on a preliminary assessment of damage from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, current business conditions, retail trends and other factors, the Company expects fiscal year 2025 Adjusted net income^1,3 in the range of $1.80 to $2.80 per diluted share, and fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA^1,3 in the range of $150 million to $180 million. These expectations do not consider or give effect for, among other things, material acquisitions that may be completed by the Company during fiscal 2025 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", "Adjusted diluted EPS", "Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization" ("Adjusted EBITDA") and "Adjusted SG&A", 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 2025 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, acquisition costs, and other costs. Acquisition contingent consideration and transaction 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.

______________________________

¹ This is a non-GAAP measure. See below for an explanation and quantitative reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure.

² This is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted SG&A represents SG&A adjusted for transaction and other costs, intangible amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, weather events, and restructuring expense. See below in the Adjusted diluted EPS table for the excluded amounts for both periods.

³ See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a discussion of why reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA are not available without unreasonable effort.
