~ Revenue Increased Over 44% Year-Over-Year to $158 Million ~
~ Same Store Sales Grew Year-Over-Year More Than 45% ~
~ First December Quarter With Pretax Profit Since December 2005~
CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 2015--
MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE:HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat
retailer, today announced results for its first quarter ended December
31, 2014.
Revenue grew over 44% to $158.1 million for the quarter ended December
31, 2014 from $109.6 million for the comparable quarter last year.
Same-store sales grew over 45% on top of a 9% increase in the same
period last year. Seasonally, the December quarter traditionally
provides the least revenue contribution of the year and typically yields
a loss for marine dealers, including MarineMax. The Company was
profitable for the first quarter ended December 31, 2014 with net income
of $214,000, or $0.01 per diluted share which is significantly improved
from the net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.14 per share, for the
comparable quarter last year.
William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive
Officer, stated, “We are encouraged by the progress we have made in
driving sales year-over-year, and thrilled by the enthusiasm our
customers are expressing for new products that are coming from our
manufacturing partners. The December quarter results are historically
our smallest of the year. The strength in new, and specifically larger
albeit lower margin boats during the quarter, drove very strong
same-store-sales growth, yielding a significant increase in revenue and
a profitable quarter. Absent the mix impact, margins remain healthy as
the industry takes another step forward in the recovery.”
Mr. McGill continued, “We are positioned to continue to benefit from the
rising tide of the industry. Clearly the growth we produced is evidence
of a broadening recovery, although we believe our growth has outpaced
that of the overall industry. Our inventories, while building, are at
appropriate levels as we prepare to enter the busiest quarters of the
year. Having started the early portion of the boat show season, we are
seeing solid increases in traffic and remain confident that the
long-term nature of the recovery continues to emerge. That said, we are
very early into our fiscal year and still have much to accomplish in
order to build on this past quarter’s results. Our highly motivated team
provides a strong competitive advantage as they lead our effort to bring
the boating dream to all of the MarineMax families.”
