MALIBU BOATS, INC.

Overview and Primary Sources of Cash

Our primary uses of cash have been for funding working capital and capital investments, repayments under our debt arrangements, acquisitions, cash distributions to members of the LLC, cash payments under our tax receivable agreement and stock repurchases under our stock repurchase program. For both the short-term and the long-term, our sources of cash to meet these needs have primarily been operating cash flows, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and short and long-term debt financings from banks and financial institutions. We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to finance our operating activities for at least the next twelve months and beyond.

Material Cash Requirements

Our typical uses of cash are for capital expenditures, debt service obligations, payments under our tax receivables agreement, our lease obligations and return of capital to our stockholders, which has typically been accomplished through our stock repurchase programs.

Capital Expenditures.

During fiscal year 2025, we incurred approximately $27.9 million in capital expenditures primarily for investments in new models, capacity enhancements and vertical integration initiatives.

Principal and Interest Payments.

Our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides us with a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had $18.0 million outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, with $330.3 million available for borrowing. The revolving credit facility matures on July 8, 2027. See below under “Revolving Credit Facility” for additional information regarding our revolving credit facility, including the interest rate applicable to any borrowing under such facility.

Tax Receivable Agreement.

We entered into a tax receivable agreement with our pre-IPO owners at the time of our initial public offering. Under the tax receivables agreement, we pay the pre-IPO owners (or any permitted assignees) 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize, or in some circumstances are deemed to realize, as a result of an expected increase in our share of tax basis in LLC’s tangible and intangible assets, including increases attributable to payments made under the tax receivable agreement. These obligations will not be paid if we do not realize cash tax savings. We estimate that approximately $0.3 million will be due under the tax receivable agreement within the next 12 months. In accordance with the tax receivable agreement, the next payment is anticipated to occur after considering net operating loss utilization and whether there is sufficient taxable income.

Operating Lease Obligations.

Lease commitments consist principally of leases for our manufacturing facilities. For fiscal year 2026, our expected operating lease payments will be $2.7 million and our total committed lease payments are $7.9 million as of June 30, 2025. Additional information regarding our operating leases is available in Note 11, Leases, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Purchase Obligations.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into purchase orders from a variety of suppliers, primarily for raw materials, in order to manage our various operating needs. The orders are expected to be purchased throughout fiscal year 2026. We or the vendor can generally terminate the purchase orders at any time. These purchase orders do not contain any termination payments or other penalties if cancelled. As of June 30, 2025, we had purchase orders in the amount of $54.3 million due within the next 12 months.

Return of Capital/Stock Repurchase Program.

In October 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to allow for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our Class A Common Stock and the LLC’s LLC Units (the "2024 Repurchase Program") for the period from November 8, 2024 to June 30, 2025. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 997,791 shares of Class A Common Stock for $36.0 million in cash including related fees and expenses under our repurchase programs. In June 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to allow for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our Class A Common Stock and the LLC’s LLC Units (the "2025 Repurchase Program") for the period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. We may purchase shares under our repurchase program from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended at the discretion of management, subject to strategic considerations, market conditions, and other factors. To date, we have returned capital to our stockholders through the repurchase of our stock and have not declared any dividends.

During fiscal year 2024, we had a one-time payment of $100.0 million with respect to a settlement agreement entered in connection with the settlement of all Batchelder-related product liability matters. We maintain liability insurance applicable to the Batchelder-related matters with coverage up to $26.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had received approximately $21.0 million in insurance coverage proceeds, subject in certain cases to reservation of rights by the insurance carriers. We contend that the insurance carriers are responsible for the entirety of the $100.0 million settlement amount and related expenses, and therefore the insurers’ payments to date are well below what they should have tendered to Boats LLC. Accordingly, on July 3, 2023, Boats LLC filed a complaint against Federal Insurance Company and Starr Indemnity & Liability Company alleging that the insurers unreasonably failed to comply with their obligations by refusing, negligently and in bad faith, to settle covered claims within their available policy limits prior to trial. On April 8, 2024, the Court dismissed Starr, noting that only Chubb had the contractual right and duty to settle the Batchelder matters prior to trial. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against our insurers to recover the full $100.0 million settlement amount and expenses (less any monies already tendered without reservation by the carriers). However, we cannot predict the outcome of such litigation.

Our future capital requirements beyond the next 12 months will depend on many factors, including the general economic environment in which we operate and our ability to generate cash flow from operations, which are more uncertain as a result of inflation, changing interest rates and volatile fuel prices. Our liquidity needs during this uncertain time will depend on multiple factors, including our ability to continue operations and production of boats, the performance of our dealers and suppliers, potential strategic acquisitions, the impact of the general economy on our dealers, suppliers and retail customers, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, and our operating performance.

The following table summarizes the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (dollars in thousands):

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $56.5 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to $55.6 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $0.9 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $12.2 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $55.6 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to $184.7 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $129.2 million. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from a decrease of $51.4 million in net income (after consideration of non-cash items included in net income (loss), primarily related to the Maverick impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, abandonment of construction in process, depreciation and deferred tax assets) and net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $77.8 million. This decrease was related to a reduction in working capital, resulting from lower sales and a one-time payment of $100.0 million with respect to a settlement agreement entered in connection with all Batchelder-related product liability matters, offset by $21.0 million in insurance coverage proceeds received in fiscal year 2024 that are subject in certain cases to reservation of rights by the insurance carriers.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $27.4 million for fiscal year 2025 compared to $75.8 million for the same period in 2024, a decrease of cash used in investing activities of $48.4 million. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to decreased capital expenditures compared to the same period in 2024. We experienced higher capital expenditures in fiscal year 2024 primarily related to the completion of our Roane County, Tennessee facility. Net cash used in investing activities was $75.8 million for fiscal year 2024 compared to $54.6 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of cash used in investing activities of $21.2 million. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to increased capital expenditures in fiscal year 2024 as mentioned above.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $18.8 million for fiscal year 2025 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $31.7 million for fiscal year 2024, a decrease of $12.9 million cash used. During fiscal year 2025, we borrowed $18.0 million, net of repayments, under our revolving credit facility, compared to no borrowings, net of repayments during fiscal year 2024. We repurchased $36.0 million of our Class A Common Stock under our stock repurchase program in fiscal year 2025 compared to repurchases of $29.3 million in fiscal year 2024.

Net cash used in financing activities was $31.7 million for fiscal year 2024 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $134.6 million for fiscal year 2023, a decrease of $102.9 million cash used. During fiscal year 2024, we repurchased $29.3 million of our Class A Common Stock under our stock repurchase program compared to $7.9 million in fiscal year 2023. During fiscal year 2024 we had no borrowings, net of repayments compared to repayments of $120.1 million, net of borrowings, in fiscal 2023.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our indirect subsidiary, Malibu Boats, LLC, has a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million with a maturity date of July 8, 2027. As of June 30, 2025, Malibu Boats, LLC, had $18.0 million outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility and $1.7 million in outstanding letters of credit, with $330.3 million available for borrowing. Malibu Boats, LLC, has the option to request that lenders increase the amount available under the revolving credit facility by, or obtain incremental term loans of, up to $200.0 million, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and only if existing or new lenders choose to provide additional term or revolving commitments.

Malibu Boats, LLC is the borrower under the Credit Agreement and its obligations are guaranteed by the LLC and, subject to certain exceptions, the present and future domestic subsidiaries of Malibu Boats, LLC, and all such obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of the LLC, Malibu Boats, LLC and such subsidiary guarantors. Malibu Boats, Inc. is not a party to the Credit Agreement.

All borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either, at our option, (i) the highest of the prime rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or one-month Term SOFR plus 1% (the “Base Rate”) or (ii) SOFR, in each case plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% with respect to SOFR borrowings and 0.25% to 1.00% with respect to Base Rate borrowings. The applicable margin will be based upon the consolidated leverage ratio of the LLC and its subsidiaries. We are required to pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, which will range from 0.15% to 0.30% per annum, depending on the LLC’s and its subsidiaries’ consolidated leverage ratio.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, and notice requirements for the occurrence of specific events such as the occurrence of any event of default or pending or threatened litigation. The Credit Agreement also requires compliance with certain customary financial covenants consisting of a minimum ratio of EBITDA to interest expense and a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA. The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants regarding indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, share repurchases, dividends and distributions, disposition of assets, transactions with affiliates, negative pledges, hedging transactions, certain prepayments of indebtedness, accounting changes and governmental regulation.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default has occurred and continues beyond any applicable cure period, the administrative agent may (i) accelerate all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement or (ii) terminate the commitments, amongst other remedies. Additionally, the lenders are not obligated to fund any new borrowing under the Credit Agreement while an event of default is continuing.

Repurchase Commitments

Our dealers have arrangements with certain finance companies to provide secured floor plan financing for the purchase of our boats. These arrangements indirectly provide liquidity to us by financing dealer purchases of our products, thereby minimizing the use of our working capital in the form of accounts receivable. A majority of our sales are financed under similar arrangements, pursuant to which we receive payment within a few days of shipment of the product. In most cases, we have agreed to repurchase products repossessed by the finance companies if a dealer defaults on its debt obligations to a finance company and the boat is returned to us, subject to certain limitations. Our financial exposure under these agreements is limited to the difference between the amounts unpaid by the dealer with respect to the repossessed product plus costs of repossession and the amount received on the resale of the repossessed product. During fiscal year 2025, we repurchased 22 units under our repurchase agreements, including 19 boats that were related to the bankruptcy with Tommy's Boats totaling $2.5 million. The repurchases of the boats in the inventory of Tommy's Boats were reflected in our June 30, 2024 consolidated financial statements and those boats were subsequently resold during the three months ended September 30, 2024 above cost. With respect to boats held by Tommy's Boats and not subject to the repurchase agreement, the Trustee retained Gordon Brothers to sell the remaining inventory as part of liquidation sales. As of December 31, 2024, none of our new model year 2023 and 2024 boats were remaining in the inventory of Tommy's Boats. We repurchased 17 units under our repurchase agreements during fiscal year 2024 which boats were subsequently resold during fiscal year 2024 above cost. For fiscal year 2023, we did not repurchase any boats under our repurchase agreements. An adverse change in retail sales could require us to repurchase repossessed units upon an event of default by any of our dealers, subject to the annual limitation. Refer to Note 17 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further information on repurchase commitments.
