Insights

Malibu Boats, Inc.'s recent financial disclosures indicate a significant downturn in their Q3 performance when contrasted against the prior year. A 45.8% reduction in net sales and a substantial 51.9% drop in unit volume are indicative of severe market headwinds. Moreover, the reported net loss of $67.8 million starkly contrasts the profit from the same quarter last year, primarily due to impairment charges for their Maverick Boat Group unit. This impairment suggests a permanent reduction in the value of these assets, often reflective of adverse market conditions or poor business performance. Furthermore, the 690 basis point decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin is telling of profitability pressures, although it's worth noting that net sales per unit have increased across all segments, likely due to inflation-driven price increases. However, this increase in per unit price does not seem to have compensated for the overall decrease in volume. Looking ahead, the company's guidance anticipates a continued decline in net sales, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin compression. For investors, these results may suggest a need for caution and a close watch on the company's ability to navigate the softened demand and return to profitable growth.

The broader context of Malibu Boats, Inc.'s results reveals industry-wide challenges. The softened retail demand and increased dealer inventory levels mirror trends seen in other discretionary consumer goods amid economic pressures such as rising interest rates and inflation. The company's efforts to reduce production and manage inventory heading into the peak selling season are aligned with typical cyclical strategies; however, the efficacy of these actions in the face of a potential economic downturn remains to be seen. Additionally, while the company has highlighted pockets of strength within its portfolio, the significant impairment charge for the Maverick Boat Group suggests a strategic misstep or a miscalculation of the segment's market trajectory. Investors should consider the company's operational adjustments and strategic focus areas, such as its three pillars of success (product, production and distribution), as potential indicators of its capability to rebound and seize market opportunities when conditions stabilize.

LOUDON, Tenn., May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Malibu Boats, Inc. (Nasdaq: MBUU) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights Compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2023:

Net sales decreased 45.8% to $203.4 million
Unit volume decreased 51.9% to 1,269 units
Gross profit decreased 59.1% to $40.3 million
GAAP net income decreased 226.8% to a net loss of $67.8 million, inclusive of goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $88.4 million incurred for the Maverick Boat Group reporting unit

“In the fiscal third quarter, we continued to navigate a softened retail demand environment, with notable weakness in the tow boat and value boat markets. Despite this challenge, we are encouraged by pockets of strength we are seeing across Cobalt and Pursuit, showcasing resiliency within certain segments of our portfolio,” commented Jack Springer, Chief Executive Officer of Malibu Boats, Inc. “Our channel inventories, which remain elevated, are showing signs of improvement as we enter the peak selling season, with a gradual decline underway. As we progress through the remainder of the year, our focus remains on returning inventories to more normalized levels through production reductions and the delivery of boats in the selling season. We anticipate that these efforts will position us for long-term stability and growth.”

“Moving forward, we expect there to be a continued softening in retail demand for the remainder of fiscal year 2024. Despite this, we have established a strong foundation and ability to generate positive cash and are poised to support market growth as things correct. We remain confident in our ability to execute our long-term strategy, particularly in a normalized cycle where we see ample opportunity to thrive. Anchored by our three pillars of success – product, production, and distribution – we stand ready to excel. With our industry-leading innovation driving our premium product portfolio, an expanded production footprint, and a robust dealer distribution network, we believe we are primed to capture greater market share and drive profitable growth for our shareholders,” continued Mr. Springer.

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $171.7 million, or 45.8%, to $203.4 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net sales was driven primarily by decreased unit volumes across all segments resulting primarily from decreased wholesale shipments and increased dealer flooring program costs across all segments resulting from higher interest rates and elevated channel inventory levels, partially offset by a favorable model mix in our Saltwater Fishing segment and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Unit volume for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased 1,368 units, or 51.9%, to 1,269 units as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our unit volume decreased primarily due to lower wholesale shipments across all segments driven by lower retail activity and elevated channel inventories during the period.

Net sales attributable to our Malibu segment decreased $112.4 million, or 65.1%, to $60.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Unit volumes attributable to our Malibu segment decreased 886 units for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period and elevated dealer channel inventory levels. The decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in units and increased dealer flooring program costs, partially offset by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Net sales attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased $41.4 million, or 33.8%, to $81.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Unit volume decreased 337 units for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period and elevated dealer channel inventory levels. The decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in units and increased dealer flooring program costs, partially offset by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Net sales attributable to our Cobalt segment decreased $17.9 million, or 22.4%, to $62.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Unit volumes attributable to Cobalt decreased 145 units for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period and elevated dealer channel inventory levels. The decrease in net sales was driven primarily by a decrease in units and increased dealer flooring program costs, partially offset by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Overall consolidated net sales per unit increased 12.7% to $160,299 per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment increased 3.3% to $133,173 per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased dealer flooring program costs. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 24.8% to $213,184 per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 driven by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased dealer flooring program costs. Net sales per unit for our Cobalt segment increased 3.4% to $142,206 per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased dealer flooring program costs.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $113.5 million, or 41.0%, to $163.1 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by a 45.8% decrease in net sales due to lower unit volumes, partially offset by higher per unit material and labor costs of $4.8 million, $9.5 million and $2.0 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 inflationary pressures, fixed cost deleverage and a model mix that corresponds to higher cost per unit in our Malibu and Saltwater Fishing segments.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $58.2 million, or 59.1%, to $40.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2024 decreased 650 basis points from 26.3% to 19.8% driven primarily by fixed cost deleverage due to lower sales, an increased mix of the Saltwater Fishing segment, and increased dealer flooring program costs.

We recognized an impairment charge of $88.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to our Maverick Boat Group reporting unit. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we determined certain indicators of impairment existed, including a decline, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2025 forecasts, in the outlook for sales and operating performance relative to our business plan and a deterioration in general macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates and inflationary pressures on labor and supply costs. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $0.6 million, or 8.7% to $6.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in travel and marketing events. As a percentage of sales, selling and marketing expenses increased 130 basis points to 3.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $0.8 million, or 4.4%, to $18.6 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 driven primarily by a decrease in personnel-related expenses, partially offset by increased information technology cost. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased 390 basis points to 9.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 5.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Amortization expense remained flat at $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Operating (loss) income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased to an operating loss of $74.9 million from an operating income $70.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. Net (loss) income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased 226.8% to a net loss of $(67.8) million from net income of $53.5 million and net (loss) income margin decreased to (33.3)% from 14.2% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased 69.2% to $24.4 million from $79.3 million, while Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 12.0% from 21.1% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023.

Fiscal 2024 Guidance

For the full fiscal year 2024, Malibu anticipates net sales decline ranging from forty to forty-one percent, year-over-year, and Adjusted EBITDA margin ranging from 10.1% to 10.5%.

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 (Loss) Income and Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) 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, impairment expense and non-cash, non-recurring or non-operating expenses, including certain professional fees 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.

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 (Loss) Income as net (loss) income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. (i) excluding income tax 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 expense on fully distributed net (loss) income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate. Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) 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 (Loss) 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 (Loss) 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 (Loss) 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 (Loss) Income per share of Class A Common Stock is provided under "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
