Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Summary

  • March quarter revenue of $582.9 million
  • Same-store sales increase of 2%
  • Gross profit margin of 32.7%
  • Net income of $1.6 million, or diluted EPS of $0.07; Adjusted diluted EPS1 of $0.18
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $29.6 million

CEO & President Commentary

Although we continue to operate in a challenging market environment, as evidenced by industrywide larger than expected declines in boat registrations, we drove an increase in sales in the second quarter. Our gross margin also remains strong as a direct result of the strategic growth in our higher-margin businesses,” said Brett McGill, Chief Executive Officer and President of MarineMax. “Our performance was impacted by ongoing softness in the marine market, highlighting broader macroeconomic concerns including elevated interest rates and persistent inflation. While interest in boating remains encouraging, more aggressive promotional activity was required to assist consumers in making purchase decisions.

We continue to focus on driving growth through investments in strong, higher-margin businesses that enhance the customer experience and expand our margin profile. During the quarter, we completed the purchase of Williams Tenders USA. This transaction advances our growth strategy, giving MarineMax distribution exclusivity in the U.S. and the Caribbean for the world’s premier brand of rigid inflatable jet tenders for the luxury yacht market.

We are taking additional steps to reduce expenses while maintaining our customer experience and service. These additional measures are directed at better aligning our cost structure with the current environment. Our actions will enhance our strong cash position and healthy balance sheet, positioning us for greater opportunities as market conditions improve,” McGill said.

Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Results

Revenue in the fiscal 2024 second quarter increased 2% to $582.9 million from $570.3 million in the comparable period last year. The top-line growth was primarily driven by an increase in boat sales. On a comparable same-store basis, revenue increased 2%.

Gross profit decreased 5.2% to $190.4 million from $200.9 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit margin of 32.7% decreased 250 basis points from 35.2% in the comparable period last year, as a higher level of promotional activity amid challenging retail conditions resulted in lower boat margins.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $169.0 million, or 29.0% of revenue, in the second quarter, compared with $145.5 million, or 25.5% of revenue, for the comparable period last year. Excluding transaction costs, changes in contingent consideration, weather events and other non-recurring items in the 2024 period, adjusted SG&A increased $16.4 million, or 11%, from the same period in fiscal 2023.

Interest expense was $19.4 million, or 3.3% of revenue in the second quarter, compared with $13.3 million, or 2.3% of revenue in the prior-year period, reflecting higher interest rates and increased inventory compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

Net income in the second quarter was $1.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with net income of $30.0 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Adjusted net income1 in the second quarter was $4.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with $27.4 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $29.6 million, compared with $57.4 million for the comparable period last year.

Company Revises 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 income1,2 guidance to a range of $2.20 to $3.20 per diluted share. The Company also is revising fiscal year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA1,2 guidance to a range of $155 million to $190 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”, “Adjusted diluted EPS” 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 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.
