OLDSMAR, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO) (“MarineMax” or the “Company”), the world’s largest recreational boat, yacht and superyacht services company, today announced results for its fiscal 2025 first quarter ended December 31, 2024. Fiscal 2025 First Quarter Summary December quarter revenue of $468.5 million Same-store sales decrease of 11% Gross profit margin of 36.2% Net income of $18.1 million, or diluted EPS of $0.77, reflecting, among other items, a meaningful adjustment related to contingent consideration; Adjusted diluted EPS1 of $0.17 Adjusted EBITDA1 of $26.1 million CEO & President Commentary “Our December quarter revenue and same-store sales performance reflected a combination of the soft retail environment that affected the recreational boating industry throughout 2024, and the significant disruptions caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton,” said Brett McGill, Chief Executive Officer and President of MarineMax. “With continued uncertainty in the economy, demand remained muted for much of the quarter, resulting in lower revenue and higher inventory at quarter-end compared with our expectations. “Despite the macroeconomic headwinds, our consolidated gross profit margin strengthened, improving 290 basis points to 36.2% from 33.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024,” McGill said. “The increase was attributable to the promotional environment and the mix of sales year-over year, along with meaningful contribution from our higher-margin lines of business including, our marinas, Superyacht Services, and finance and insurance operations. The expansion of our higher-margin revenue streams through strategic acquisitions and organic growth has significantly improved our margin profile over the past several years. This diversification also has enhanced our resilience to the challenges faced by the industry during periods of uncertainty, as demonstrated by our relatively stable Adjusted EBITDA despite the revenue decline. “Consistent with our strategy, we continued our expense-reduction initiatives in the first quarter, including the divestiture or closure of three locations,” McGill said. “Maintaining a focus on cost efficiency, while also keeping a strong balance sheet, will be central to our plans in fiscal 2025 as we work to enhance profitability and further strengthen our operational foundation.” Fiscal 2025 First Quarter Results Revenue in the fiscal 2025 first quarter decreased 11.2% to $468.5 million from $527.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2024, primarily attributable to lower boat sales and disruption caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. As a result, revenue on a comparable-store basis decreased 11% from the prior-year period, versus an increase of 4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 from the same period of fiscal 2023. Gross profit decreased 3.3% to $169.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $175.5 million in the prior-year period. Despite lower consolidated revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, gross profit margin increased 290 basis points from the prior year to 36.2%, driven by the current promotional environment and mix of sales year-over-year and increased contribution from the Company’s higher-margin businesses. Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $130.7 million, or 27.9% of revenue, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $156.5 million, or 29.7% of revenue, for the comparable period of fiscal 2024. Excluding the change in fair value of contingent consideration, hurricane and tornado expenses, intangible amortization, restructuring expense, and transaction and other costs, Adjusted SG&A2 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased by $2.3 million, or 1.5%, to $149.4 million from $151.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. Interest expense was $18.7 million, or 4.0% of revenue in the first quarter, compared with $18.4 million, or 3.5% of revenue in the prior-year period. The increase reflected higher inventory compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, partly offset by lower floor plan financing costs. Net income in the fiscal 2025 first quarter was $18.1 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Adjusted net income1 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $4.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with $4.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $26.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $26.6 million for the prior-year period. Reaffirms Fiscal 2025 Guidance Based on an ongoing assessment of the impact from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, current business conditions, retail trends and other factors, the Company continues to expect fiscal year 2025 Adjusted net income1,3 in the range of $1.80 to $2.80 per diluted share, and fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA1,3 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. “While economic conditions in the recreational marine industry remain challenging, we anticipate that the pace of activity improves as we move into the spring selling season,” McGill said. “Early activity at this year’s retail boat shows has been encouraging, and we believe that our position within the premium category of the segment will enable us to outperform the industry and more meaningfully grow as conditions improve.” Conference Call Information MarineMax will discuss its fiscal 2025 first quarter financial results on a conference call starting at 10:00 a.m. ET today.

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 net income 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 net income 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 expenses and recoveries, 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.
