CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 25, 2013-- MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Revenue grew over 16% to $175.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $151.3 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales increased approximately 16% on top of a 1% increase in the comparable quarter last year. During the quarter, the company recovered $7.0 million, net, or $0.29 per diluted share, from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program for damages it suffered as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. The recovery is reflected as a reduction to the Company’s expenses. Net income was $13.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with net income of $4.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.

Revenue increased over 12% to $434.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 from $387.1 million for the comparable period last year. Same-store sales increased approximately 13% compared with a 9% increase in the comparable period last year. During the period, the recovery from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program, noted above, was $0.29 per diluted share. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $9.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year.

William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our team produced solid revenue growth in the quarter despite the challenge of generally poor weather that impacted industry trends. This growth was driven by our team’s focus and commitment to providing our customers with the right products and experiences along with strength in key geographic markets, such as Florida and parts of the Northeast. During the quarter, our efforts resulted in product gross margin expansion, which was attributable to the ongoing industry recovery, continued improved inventory aging, and our team’s passion and focus on our brands and strategies. In our efforts to stimulate additional sales because of challenging weather, we invested in enhanced promotional activities, which combined with rising insurance costs, resulted in higher ongoing expenses.”

Mr. McGill concluded, “We remain well positioned to capitalize on improving industry conditions. Our balance sheet, which has been further enhanced by the Deepwater Horizon payment, provides us with a competitive advantage by enabling us to have the broadest available inventory in the industry for our customers to purchase. MarineMax customers are demonstrating their passion for improving their quality of life through the great boating experience our company is able to provide as they unite with themselves and others on the water. As we look ahead, improving conditions and pent up demand should continue to emerge and contribute to our ability to increase cash flow, market share and earnings.”
