In the face of low cycle volumes, we further strengthened dealer health, advanced our new product initiatives, and generated significant free cash flow. This enabled us to return nearly $10 million of capital to shareholders, underscoring our disciplined and value-enhancing approach to capital allocation.” Nelson continued, “Our strong financial foundation provides us with the flexibility to pursue our core strategic initiatives including investments in innovation and dealer health. As we manage through a dynamic environment, our leading brand portfolio and cash flow generation position us well to invest for the future and maintain the flexibility to return capital to shareholders.” Fourth Quarter Results For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $79.5 million, up $25.2 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales was primarily due to favorable model mix related to new product introductions, increased unit volumes, decreased dealer incentives, and favorable option sales. Gross margin percentage increased 740 basis points during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to the prior-year period. Higher margins were primarily the result of increased net sales, as discussed above. Operating expenses increased $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to the prior-year period due to increased variable compensation costs, increased sales and marketing costs, and increased administrative costs. Income from continuing operations was $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $0.3 million in the prior-year period. Diluted income from continuing operations per share was $0.33, compared to $0.02 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted Net income was $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $9.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $1.6 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.0% for the fourth quarter, up from 2.9% for the prior-year period. Fiscal 2025 Results For fiscal 2025, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $284.2 million, down $38.1 million from fiscal 2024. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to planned lower unit volumes to align dealer inventories with retail demand and changes in price, partially offset by favorable model mix related to new product introductions, favorable option sales, and decreased dealer incentives. Gross margin percentage declined 220 basis points during fiscal 2025, compared to the prior-year. Lower margins were the result of lower cost absorption due to the decreased production volume, material and overhead inflation, and changes in sales price. Operating expenses increased $1.5 million for fiscal 2025, compared to the prior-year due to increased variable compensation costs. Income from continuing operations was $10.7 million for fiscal 2025, compared to $23.2 million in the prior-year. Diluted income from continuing operations per share was $0.65, compared to $1.36 for fiscal 2024. Adjusted Net income was $15.1 million for fiscal 2025, or $0.92 per diluted share, compared to $28.9 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, in the prior-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $24.4 million for fiscal 2025, compared to $40.2 million in the prior-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.6% for fiscal 2025, down from 12.5% for the prior-year. See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, and Free Cash Flow, which we refer to collectively as the “Non-GAAP Measures”, to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Outlook Concluded Nelson, “Our ongoing destocking progress, product innovation, and expanded distribution network position us well for fiscal 2026 and beyond. We have detailed plans in place for a range of potential retail demand scenarios and will continue to apply the cost discipline and tight working capital management that served us well in 2025. Based on our operating model and execution, we expect to generate positive free cash flow again in fiscal 2026. Regardless of the cycle, our focus will remain on maintaining a healthy dealer network, sustained innovation, and leveraging our competitive advantages to capitalize on the next market upswing.” The Company’s outlook is as follows: For full year fiscal 2026, we expect consolidated net sales to be between $295 million and $310 million, with Adjusted EBITDA between $29 million and $34 million, and Adjusted Earnings per share between $1.15 and $1.40. We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $9 million for the year.For fiscal first quarter 2026, consolidated net sales are expected to be approximately $67 million, with Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $4 million, and Adjusted Earnings per share of $0.16.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges or other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations. For the periods presented herein, the adjustments include share-based compensation and Senior leadership transition and organizational realignment costs. We define EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, each expressed as a percentage of Net sales. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share as income from continuing operations, adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges or other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations and reflecting income tax expense on adjusted net income before income taxes at our estimated annual effective tax rate. For the periods presented herein, these adjustments include other intangible asset amortization, share-based compensation, and Senior leadership transition and organizational realignment costs. Free Cash Flow We define Free Cash Flow from continuing operations as net cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, plant, and equipment. The Non-GAAP Measures are not measures of net income, operating income, or net cash flows as determined under GAAP. The Non-GAAP Measures are not measures of performance in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net income per share, or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of cash flows. We believe that the inclusion of the Non-GAAP Measures is appropriate to provide additional information to investors because securities analysts and investors use the Non-GAAP Measures to assess our operating performance across periods on a consistent basis and to evaluate the relative risk of an investment in our securities. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share 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 does GAAP measures alone. We believe Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share assists our board of directors, management, investors, and other users of the financial statements in comparing our net income on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes certain non-cash items and other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations and reflecting income tax expense on adjusted net income before income taxes at our estimated annual effective tax rate. The Non-GAAP Measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and the Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;Certain Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;Certain Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;Certain Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect our tax expense or any cash requirements to pay income taxes;Certain Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness; andThe Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations, but may nonetheless have a material impact on our results of operations. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in our industry. We do not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include acquisition-related costs, litigation charges or settlements, impairment charges, and certain other unusual adjustments.The following table presents a reconciliation of income from continuing operations as determined in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and income from continuing operations margin to EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin (each expressed as a percentage of net sales) for the periods indicated: (Dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended For the Years Ended June 30, % of Net June 30, % of Net June 30, % of Net June 30, % of Net 2025 sales 2024 sales 2025 sales 2024 salesIncome from continuing operations $5,452 6.9% $305 0.6% $10,715 3.8% $23,243 7.2%Income tax expense (benefit) 1,299 (70) 2,820 6,730 Interest expense — 798 1,169 3,292 Interest income (823) (1,625) (3,472) (5,789) Depreciation and amortization 2,554 2,063 9,579 8,375 EBITDA 8,482 10.7% 1,471 2.7% 20,811 7.3% 35,851 11.1%Share-based compensation 835 66 2,915 2,602 Senior leadership transition and organizational realignment costs(a) 211 31 659 1,708 Adjusted EBITDA $9,528 12.0% $1,568 2.9% $24,385 8.6% $40,161 12.5% The following table sets forth a reconciliation of income from continuing operations as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Net Income for the periods indicated: (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)Three Months Ended For the Years Ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Income from continuing operations$5,452 $305 $10,715 $23,243 Income tax expense 1,299 (70) 2,820 6,730 Amortization of acquisition intangibles 450 450 1,800 1,812 Share-based compensation 835 66 2,915 2,602 Senior leadership transition and organizational realignment costs(a) 211 31 659 1,708 Adjusted Net Income before income taxes 8,247 782 18,909 36,095 Adjusted income tax expense(b) 1,650 156 3,782 7,219 Adjusted Net Income$6,597 $626 $15,127 $28,876 Adjusted net income per common share Basic$0.40 $0.04 $0.92 $1.71 Diluted$0.40 $0.04 $0.92 $1.69 Weighted average shares used for the computation of(c): Basic Adjusted net income per share 16,299,885 16,710,544 16,428,485 16,930,348 Diluted Adjusted net income per share 16,440,388 16,710,544 16,525,773 17,038,305 The following table presents the reconciliation of income from continuing operations per diluted share to Adjusted Net Income per diluted share for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended For the Years Ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Income from continuing operations per diluted share$0.33 $0.02 $0.65 $1.36 Impact of adjustments: Income tax expense 0.08 — 0.17 0.39 Amortization of acquisition intangibles 0.03 0.03 0.11 0.11 Share-based compensation 0.05 — 0.18 0.15 Senior leadership transition and organizational realignment costs(a) 0.01 — 0.04 0.10 Adjusted Net Income per diluted share before income taxes 0.50 0.05 1.15 2.11 Impact of adjusted income tax expense on net income per diluted share before income taxes(b) (0.10) (0.01) (0.23) (0.42)Adjusted Net Income per diluted share$0.40 $0.04 $0.92 $1.69 The following table presents the reconciliation of net cash flow by operating activities of continuing operations to Free Cash Flow for the periods presented: For the Years Ended June 30, June 30, 2025 2024 Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations $38,222 $12,200 Less: Purchases of property, plant and equipment (9,198) (10,525)Free cash flow $29,024 $1,675 (a) Represents amounts paid for legal fees and recruiting costs associated with the CEO and CFO transitions, as well as non-recurring severance costs incurred as part of the Company's strategic organizational realignment undertaken in connection with the transition.(b) For fiscal 2025 and 2024, income tax expense reflects an income tax rate of 20.0%.(c) Represents the Weighted Average Shares used for the computation of Basic and Diluted earnings per share as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations to calculate Adjusted Net Income per diluted share for all periods presented herein.Investor Contact:MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc.
