Revenue Growth: Revenue for the quarter increased year-over-year to $505 million, driven by nearly 11% same-store sales growth and a strong performance in premium products.
Margin Pressure: Gross margin declined over 400 basis points from normal historical levels, with margins on new and used boats well below average due to elevated promotional activity and inventory overhang.
Inventory Reduction: Inventory levels were reduced by nearly $170 million compared to last year, with management aiming for further reductions and improved inventory turns above 2x by fiscal year-end.
Positive Boat Show Trends: Early season boat shows, especially at the premium end, showed encouraging demand and helped drive higher average selling prices.
Guidance Reaffirmed: Fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA is projected at $110–$125 million and adjusted net income at $0.40–$0.95 per share, with expectations for industry units and same-store sales to be flat to slightly positive.
Stable Customer Deposits: Customer deposits were flat year-over-year, signaling stable future demand despite industry uncertainty.
Higher-Margin Businesses: Marina, Superyacht services, and Finance & Insurance divisions contributed favorably, supporting gross profit despite low boat margins.
