Insights

The Q1 FY2025 results reveal significant challenges for Malibu Boats, with concerning declines across key metrics. Net sales dropped 32.9% to $171.6 million, while unit volume fell 39.7%. The company swung to a net loss of $5.1 million from a profit of $20.8 million last year. Gross margins contracted sharply from 22.2% to 16.4%.

Despite these headwinds, there are some stabilizing factors: the company maintained pricing power with an 11.2% increase in net sales per unit, continued share repurchases of $10 million and projects low single-digit sales growth for FY2025. The guidance for 10-12% EBITDA margin suggests expected operational improvements from current 5.8% levels.

The $3.5 million legal settlement and increased operating expenses are concerning, but appear to be one-time events rather than structural issues. Channel inventory reduction efforts should help normalize wholesale shipments as the year progresses.

The recreational boat industry is showing clear signs of cyclical weakness, with Malibu's results reflecting broader market conditions. Dealer inventory management and reduced retail activity are driving the significant volume declines across all segments - Malibu (-46.7%), Saltwater Fishing (-30.1%) and Cobalt (-12.7%).

The upcoming boat show season will be important for gauging consumer sentiment and potential recovery timing. While macroeconomic pressures persist, the company's ability to maintain price increases and favorable mix suggests the premium boat segment remains relatively resilient. The planned Investor Day in 2025 indicates management's confidence in their long-term strategy despite near-term challenges.

First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results (Unaudited)

 Three Months Ended September 30,
  2024   2023 
 (Dollars In Thousands)

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $84.3 million, or 32.9%, to $171.6 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net sales was driven primarily by decreased unit volumes across all segments resulting primarily from decreased wholesale shipments, partially offset by a favorable model mix in our Malibu and Saltwater Fishing segments and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Unit volume for the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreased 674 units, or 39.7%, to 1,024 units as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our unit volume decreased primarily due to lower wholesale shipments across all segments driven by lower retail activity and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory.

Net sales attributable to our Malibu segment decreased $49.0 million, or 46.7%, to $56.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Unit volumes attributable to our Malibu segment decreased 420 units for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory. The decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in units, partially offset by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Net sales attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased $27.9 million, or 30.1%, to $64.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Unit volumes attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased 191 units for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory. The decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in units, partially offset by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases and a favorable model mix.

Net sales attributable to our Cobalt segment decreased $7.4 million, or 12.7%, to $50.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Unit volumes attributable to Cobalt decreased 63 units for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory. The decrease in net sales was driven primarily by a decrease in units, partially offset by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Overall consolidated net sales per unit increased 11.2% to $167,559 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in overall consolidated net sales per unit was driven primarily by favorable model mix in our Malibu and Saltwater Fishing segments and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment increased 11.7% to $145,883 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, driven by favorable model mix, inflation-driven year-over-year price increases and non-boat related customer service parts sales. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 14.4% to $215,837 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 driven by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased dealer incentive costs. Net sales per unit for our Cobalt segment increased 3.5% to $149,441 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, driven by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $55.7 million, or 28.0%, to $143.4 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by a 32.9% decrease in net sales due to lower unit volumes, partially offset by higher per unit material and labor costs of $5.3 million, $6.8 million and $2.6 million for the Malibu, Saltwater Fishing, and Cobalt segments, respectively. The increase in per unit material and labor costs was primarily driven by increased prices due to fixed cost deleverage, a model mix that corresponds to higher cost per unit in our Malibu and Saltwater Fishing segments and inflationary pressures.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $28.6 million, or 50.3%, to $28.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by lower net sales partially offset by decreased cost of sales for the reasons noted above. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased 580 basis points from 22.2% to 16.4% driven primarily by fixed cost deleverage due to lower sales and an increased mix of the Saltwater Fishing segment.

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $0.9 million, or 15.4% to $4.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in certain personnel expenses and marketing events. As a percentage of sales, selling and marketing expenses increased 60 basis points to 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 2.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $6.5 million, or 31.6%, to $27.2 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 driven primarily by a $3.5 million legal settlement along with other related legal fees and increased stock compensation expense. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased 780 basis points to 15.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Amortization expense remained flat at $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Operating (loss) income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 decreased to an operating loss of $5.6 million from an operating income $28.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Net (loss) income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 decreased 124.8% to a net loss of $(5.1) million from net income of $20.8 million and net (loss) income margin decreased to (3.0)% from 8.1% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

Fiscal 2025 Guidance

For the full fiscal year 2025, Malibu anticipates net sales increase percentage in the low single digits year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA margin ranging from 10%-12%.

The Company has not provided reconciliations of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA margin, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include costs related to the Company’s vertical integration initiatives that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income and Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income per Share. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or as an indicator of our liquidity. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should also not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash, non-recurring or non-operating expenses, including certain professional fees, litigation settlements and non-cash compensation expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of net (loss) income as determined by GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allow investors to evaluate our operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assist in highlighting trends in our operating results without regard to our financing methods, capital structure, and non-recurring or non-operating expenses. We exclude the items listed above from net (loss) income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, the methods by which assets were acquired and other factors. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity.

Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets.

We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income as net (loss) income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. (i) excluding income tax (benefit) expense, (ii) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, (iii) assuming the exchange of all LLC units into shares of Class A Common Stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC (the "LLC"), and (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax (benefit) expense on fully distributed net income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate. Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure because it represents net (loss) income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc., before non-recurring or non-cash items and the effects of non-controlling interests in the LLC. We use Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. We believe Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income assists our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net (loss) income on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes non-cash or non-recurring items, and eliminates the variability of non-controlling interest as a result of member owner exchanges of LLC units into shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, because Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income is susceptible to varying calculations, the Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income measures, as presented in this release, may differ from and may, therefore, not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of our net (loss) income as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and the numerator and denominator for our net (loss) income available to Class A Common Stock per share to Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income per share of Class A Common Stock is provided under "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
