Current report

When required to be performed, a quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the carrying value of a reporting unit to its fair value, and a goodwill impairment charge results when the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The performance of a quantitative goodwill impairment test requires management to apply significant estimates and judgment – particularly to estimate the fair value of the Company and each of our reporting units. The Company has three reporting units: Retail Dealerships, Superyacht Services, and IGY Marinas, which are included in the Retail Operations reportable segment, and one reporting unit, Product Manufacturing, which is its own reportable segment.

Current report

When performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company utilizes the income approach (discounted cash flow method) corroborated by the market approach (guideline public company method). Under the income approach, the Company projects its future cash flows and discounts these cash flows to reflect their relative risk. The cash flows used are consistent with those the Company uses in its internal planning, which reflects actual business trends experienced and its long-term business strategy. Under the market approach, the Company uses the guideline company method to develop valuation multiples and compare the Company’s reporting unit to similar publicly traded companies. In order to further validate the reasonableness of fair value as determined by the income and market approaches described above, a reconciliation to market capitalization is then performed by estimating a reasonable control premium and other market factors.

Current report

Impairment testing requires the assessment of both qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to whether there has been a significant or adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset and/or significant or adverse changes in cash flow projections or earnings forecasts. These assessments require management to make judgements, assumptions and estimates regarding the macroeconomic and industry conditions, our financial performance, and other factors and are often interdependent; therefore, they do not change in isolation. Factors and assumptions that management must estimate include, among others, revenue, margin, operating expense growth rates; discount rates, terminal growth rates, comparable public companies and historical transactions, market multiples, tax rates, capital spending, and customers’ financial condition. The estimates and assumptions used in these tests are evaluated and updated as appropriate. The variability of these factors depends on a number of conditions, including uncertainty about future events, and thus our accounting estimates may change from period to period. If other assumptions and estimates had been used when these tests were performed, impairment charges could have changed.

Current report

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill at each of our four reporting units. As a result of the declining performance of the product manufacturing reporting unit and segment the Company recognized a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $69.1 million related to the product manufacturing reporting unit. There was no remaining carrying value of the goodwill for the product manufacturing reporting unit and segment as of June 30, 2025 as a result of the goodwill impairment.

Current report

No impairments were recorded for the reporting units: Retail Dealerships, Superyacht Services, or IGY Marinas, which are included in the Retail Operations reportable segment, as these reporting units all had fair values greater than their carrying values. The excess of fair values as compared to carrying values for the Retail Operations reportable segment reporting units ranged from 4% to 15%. Changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates, including but not limited to: revenue, margin, operating expense growth rates, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and other assumptions, that are used in the impairment testing for goodwill, could result in significantly different estimates of fair value for our reporting units and potentially result in additional material non-cash impairment charges.

Current report

Goodwill impairment. Goodwill impairment increased $69.1 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, as a result of recording the non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $69.1 million related to the product manufacturing reporting unit and segment.

Current report

Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased $22.0 million to a benefit of $6.4 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 from a provision of $15.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the goodwill impairment. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 17.2% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, from 28.7% for fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the goodwill impairment.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense decreased $22.4 million, or 58.9%, to $15.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 from $38.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Our effective income tax rate increased to 28.7% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, from 25.7% for fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily a result of increased expenses from equity compensation from vested awards.

Previous wording

MarineMax was incorporated in January 1998 (and reincorporated in Florida in March 2015). We commenced operations with the acquisition of five independent recreational boat dealers on March 1, 1998. Since the initial acquisitions in March 1998, we have, as of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, acquired 35 recreational boat dealers, five boat brokerage operations, six superyacht service companies, two full-service yacht repair operations and two boat and yacht manufacturers. As a part of our acquisition strategy, we frequently engage in discussions with various recreational boat dealers regarding their potential acquisition by us. Potential acquisition discussions frequently take place over a long period of time and involve difficult business integration and other issues, including, in some cases, management succession and related matters. As a result of these and other factors, a number of potential acquisitions that from time to time appear likely to occur do not result in binding legal agreements and are not consummated. We completed four acquisitions in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, four acquisitions in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, and three acquisitions in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024.

General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national or global economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could reduce consumer spending in the markets we serve and adversely affect our business. Economic conditions in areas in which we operate dealerships, particularly Florida in which we generated approximately 51%, 53%, and 53% of our dealership revenue during fiscal 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively, can have a major impact on our operations. Local influences, such as corporate downsizing, military base closings, and inclement weather such as hurricanes and other storms, environmental conditions, and specific events, such as the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, also could adversely affect, and in certain instances have adversely affected, our operations in certain markets.

Previous wording

In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, at times resulting in disproportionately large reductions in the sale of luxury goods. Consumer spending on luxury goods also may decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are favorable. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's prior increases of its benchmark interest rate have resulted in significantly higher long-term interest rates, which may continue to negatively impact our customers’ willingness or desire to purchase our products. As a result, an economic downturn or inflation could impact us more than certain of our competitors due to our strategic focus on a higher end of our market. However, the Federal Reserve has recently cut interest rates and is expected to further cut interest rates. Although we have expanded our operations during periods of stagnant or modestly declining industry trends, the cyclical nature of the recreational boating industry or the lack of industry growth may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any period of adverse economic conditions, low consumer confidence or inflation is likely to have a negative effect on our business.

We recognize revenue from parts and service operations (boat maintenance and repairs) over time as services are performed. Each boat maintenance and repair service is a single performance obligation that includes both the parts and labor associated with the service. Payment for boat maintenance and repairs is typically due upon the completion of the service, which is generally completed within a short period of time from contract inception. We satisfy our performance obligations, transfer control, and recognize revenue over time for parts and service operations because we are creating a contract asset with no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Contract assets primarily relate to our right to consideration for work in process not yet billed at the reporting date associated with maintenance and repair services. Contract assets, recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, totaled approximately $5.3 million and $5.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

We account for acquisitions in accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). For business combinations, the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350, we test goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our annual impairment test is performed during the third fiscal quarter. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its fair value we recognize an impairment loss in accordance with ASC 350. Based upon our most recent analysis, we determined through our qualitative assessment that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair values of our reporting units are less than their carrying values. As a result, we did not perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The qualitative assessment requires us to make judgments and assumptions regarding macroeconomic and industry conditions, our financial performance, and other factors. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a change in the judgments and assumptions used in our qualitative assessment which would result in a material effect on our operating results.

In accordance with ASC 350, we test goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In fiscal year 2025, impairment tests were performed during the third and fourth fiscal quarters to facilitate changing our annual impairment test to the fourth fiscal quarter from the third fiscal quarter. In previous fiscal years, our annual impairment test was performed during the third fiscal quarter. Beginning in fiscal year 2026 and thereafter, our annual impairment test will be performed during the fourth fiscal quarter. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its fair value we recognize an impairment loss in accordance with ASC 350.

Revenue. Revenue increased $36.0 million, or 1.5%, to approximately $2.431 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 from $2.395 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The increase is due to a $29.4 million or 1% increase in comparable-store sales, in addition to a $6.6 million net increase from acquisitions and new locations that are not eligible for inclusion in the comparable-store base, partially offset by a decrease in manufacturing revenue which is not included in comparable store sales. The comparable-store increase came primarily from increases in new and used boat revenue along with contributions from our other higher margin businesses.

Current wording

Revenue. Revenue decreased $121.7 million, or 5.0%, to approximately $2.309 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 from $2.431 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is due to a $48.6 million or 2% decrease in comparable-store sales, in addition to a $73.1 million net decrease from closed stores and manufacturing revenue that are not eligible for inclusion in comparable-store sales. The comparable-store decreases were primarily driven by decreases in new boat revenue as a result of the challenging retail environment and ongoing economic uncertainty, including uncertainty relating to evolving trade policies and geopolitical tensions.

Previous wording

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $34.1 million, or 4.1%, to $801.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 from $835.3 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 33.0% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024 from 34.9 % for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of lower new and used boat margins, as we aggressively drove sales during a softer retail environment.

Current wording

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $51.0 million, or 6.4%, to $750.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 from $801.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 32.5% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 from 33.0% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily a result of lower new boat margins due to the challenging retail environment.

The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily the result of inflation and recent acquisitions.

Current wording

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $25.8 million, or 3.8%, to $647.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 from $673.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily the result of changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and cost-saving initiatives implemented in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025.

Previous wording

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $20.5 million to $73.9 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, from $53.4 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 as a result of increased inventory. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of increased borrowings due primarily to higher inventory levels.

Current wording

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $2.7 million to $71.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, from $73.9 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 . The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of lower interest rates.

Previous wording

Advances under the Floor Plan are initiated by the acquisition of eligible new and used inventory or are re-advanced against eligible new and used inventory that have been partially paid-off. Advances on new inventory will generally mature 1,080 days from the original invoice date. Advances on used inventory will mature 361 days from the date we acquire the used inventory. Each advance is subject to a curtailment schedule, which requires that we pay down the balance of each advance on a periodic basis starting six months after receiving such advance. The curtailment schedule varies based on the type and value of the inventory. The collateral for the Amended Credit Agreement is primarily the Company’s inventory that is financed through the Amended Credit Agreement and related accounts receivable. None of our real estate has been pledged for collateral for the Amended Credit Agreement

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company determined through a qualitative assessment that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair values of our reporting units are less than their carrying values. As a result, we did not perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The qualitative assessment requires us to make judgments and assumptions regarding macroeconomic and industry conditions, our financial performance, and other factors. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a change in the judgments and assumptions used in our qualitative assessment which would result in a material effect on our operating results.
