CEO & President Commentary

“Our fiscal second quarter results reflected ongoing industry headwinds in the retail environment for new and used boat sales; however, our higher‑margin businesses once again provided important balance, stability and growth, helping to offset much of the pressure caused by the decline in boat revenue,” said MarineMax Chief Executive Officer and President Brett McGill. “Contributions from areas of the business that we have strategically expanded, including finance and insurance, superyacht services, marinas, and parts and service, continue to perform well and support our margin profile, underscoring the benefits of our diversified business model.

“While near-term market conditions remain pressured by geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, including international concerns from tariffs, the long-term fundamentals of the recreational marine market remain strong,” McGill said. “Virtually every recent boat show we have participated in, including last month’s Palm Beach International Boat Show, has produced strong and, in some cases, record results, highlighting sustained consumer interest in the boating lifestyle, especially in premium segments. This demand is reflected in our sequential and year-over-year customer deposit growth trends as well as continued strength in our superyacht and international marina businesses.

“Our balance sheet remains very strong, supported by disciplined inventory management, reduced floorplan financing, and ample liquidity,” McGill said. “As we enter the summer selling season, we are seeing increased demand across both digital and retail channels supporting a cautiously optimistic outlook.”

Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results

Revenue for the fiscal 2026 second quarter was $527.4 million, compared with a record $631.5 million in the same period last year. This decline, primarily driven by lower boat sales, was partially offset by continued growth in higher-margin businesses, including finance and insurance, superyacht services and marinas.

Gross profit totaled $181.3 million, compared with $189.5 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit margin expanded 440 basis points year-over-year to 34.4%, primarily driven by the increasing contribution from higher-margin businesses.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $170.4 million, or 32.3% of revenue, compared with SG&A expenses of $166.8 million, or 26.4% of revenue, in the prior-year period. On an adjusted basis, excluding transaction costs, changes in contingent consideration, weather events, and other non-recurring items, Adjusted SG&A² was $165.8 million, or 31.4% of revenue, compared with $163.8 million, or 25.9% of revenue, in the prior year.

Interest expense was $14.7 million, or 2.8% of revenue, compared with $18.2 million, or 2.9% of revenue, in the prior-year period, reflecting lower interest rates and reduced inventory levels.

Net loss for the quarter was $2.6 million, or $0.12 per share, compared with net income of $3.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income¹ was $0.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with Adjusted net income of $5.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the quarter was $23.9 million, compared with $30.9 million in the prior-year period.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents were $189.1 million at quarter end, compared with $203.5 million in the prior-year period and $170.4 million at the end of fiscal 2025.

Inventories totaled $845.4 million, down from $973.4 million in the prior-year period.

Company Reaffirms Fiscal 2026 Guidance

Based on current business conditions, retail marine industry trends, and other relevant factors, the Company continues to expect fiscal 2026 Adjusted EBITDA^1,2 to be in the range of $110 million to $125 million and adjusted net income^1,2 in the range of $0.40 to $0.95 per diluted share. These projections exclude the potential impact of material acquisitions or other unforeseen developments, including changes in tariffs, international hostilities, and broader macroeconomic conditions.

“As we look ahead, we recognize that geopolitical uncertainty and macroeconomic dynamics may continue to influence consumer behavior over the next several quarters,” McGill concluded. “That said, our diversified business model, strong balance sheet and continued growth in higher-margin businesses position us well to navigate the environment and drive long-term value creation.”

Forward-Looking Statement

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events, and may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words, or other similar terms or expressions that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. These statements, including those relating to the strength of the long-term fundamentals of the recreational marine market, demand across both digital and retail channels, our optimism because of the improving trends, our fiscal 2026 guidance, the influence of geopolitical uncertainty and macroeconomic dynamics on consumer behavior over the next several quarters, and our positioning to navigate the environment and drive long-term value creation, are based on current expectations, forecasts, risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations as of the date of this release. These risks, assumptions, and uncertainties include the timing of and potential outcome of the Company’s long-term strategy, the estimated impact resulting from the Company’s cost-reduction initiatives, the Company’s abilities to reduce inventory, manage expenses and accomplish its goals and strategies, general economic conditions, as well as those within the Company's industry, the level of consumer spending, and numerous other factors identified in the Company’s most recently filed Forms 10-K and 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

^{1, 2} Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release, along with the above Supplemental Financial Information table, contains “Adjusted net (loss) income attributable to MarineMax, Inc.,” “Adjusted diluted net (loss) income per common share,” “Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and “Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses” (“Adjusted SG&A”), which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under applicable securities legislation. Adjusted SG&A expenses represent SG&A expenses adjusted for transaction and other costs, intangible amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, weather expenses, and restructuring expense. See the tables labeled, “Supplemental Financial Information” for the excluded amounts for both periods for Adjusted SG&A.

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 2026 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.
