CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 22, 2015-- MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE:HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Revenue grew approximately 8% to $231.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared with $214.4 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales increased approximately 10%, which is on top of 22% growth in the comparable quarter last year. The Company’s net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, was $14.9 million or $0.59 per diluted share, including a $1.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share gain from the sale of real estate, compared to net income of $11.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share for the comparable quarter last year.

Revenue grew approximately 22% to $562.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 compared with $460.6 million for the comparable period last year. Same-store sales increased approximately 23%, on top of 5% growth in the comparable period last year. The Company’s net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 improved to $15.5 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, which includes the real estate sale gain of $1.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year.

William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We continue to make steady progress as our team leverages the strategies we have put in place to meet the needs of our growing customer base. We produced solid growth in revenue and earnings per share, along with our third consecutive quarter of sequential improvement in gross margins despite the mix of products in the June quarter being heavily influenced by the sale of used boats, which carry lower margins. The new models from all of our manufacturing partners are being very well received and based on their demand, the consumer is eager for something different and new. Our sales growth has resulted in continued gains in market share, which we believe has accelerated as we move through the busy summer selling season.”

Mr. McGill continued, “With our well capitalized balance sheet, highly desirable brands and an ongoing return of the consumer to boating, MarineMax remains well positioned to build on earnings and cash flow as we look ahead to the coming years of helping our customers maximize their enjoyment and time on the water.”
