Other (income) expense, net, increased $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to other income from an adjustment in our tax receivable agreement liability mainly due to decreased blended federal and state tax rates used as a result of OB3 tax reform changes, and in turn, a decrease in the future benefit we expect to pay under our tax receivable agreement with pre-IPO owners.

Previous report
Net sales attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased $9.4 million, or 11.5%, to $71.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Unit volumes attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased 55 units for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory. The decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in units and partially offset by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.
Previous report
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $19.9 million, or 12.2%, to $182.9 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by a 12.4% increase in net sales due to higher unit volumes, a more expensive product mix and partially offset by lower per unit labor costs due to fixed cost leveraging.
Previous report
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $5.4 million, or 13.4%, to $45.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in gross profit was driven by higher net sales partially offset by increased cost of sales for the reasons noted above. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased 20 basis points from 19.8% to 20.0% driven primarily by the decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue driven by lower per unit labor costs due to fixed cost leveraging.
Previous report
Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $0.2 million, or 83.7% to $0.5 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in other expense resulted primarily from net increased interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2025 to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2024
Previous report
Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $69.8 million, or 10.4%, to $600.5 million as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The decreased net sales was driven primarily by decreased unit volumes across all segments resulting primarily from decreased wholesale shipments, an unfavorable segment mix, partially offset by a favorable model mix across all segments and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Unit volume for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, decreased 663 units, or 15.3%, to 3,677 units as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024. Our unit volume decreased primarily due to lower wholesale shipments across all segments driven by lower retail activity and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory.
Previous report

Unit volumes attributable to Cobalt decreased 120 units for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by our dealers' desire to hold less inventory.

Previous report
Overall consolidated net sales per unit increased 5.7% to $163,318 per unit for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in overall consolidated net sales per unit was driven primarily by a favorable model mix across all segments, inflation-driven year-over-year price increases and partially offset by an unfavorable segment mix. Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment increased 8.3% to $140,566 per unit for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024, driven by favorable model mix, inflation-driven year-over-year price increases and non-boat related customer service parts sales. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 9.1% to $219,270 per unit for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 driven by favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases and partially offset by increased dealer incentive costs. Net sales per unit for our Cobalt segment increased 4.2% to $149,301 per unit for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024, driven by favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Gross Profit
Previous report
Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $0.2 million, or 1.3% to $17.7 million compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in certain marketing events. As a percentage of sales, selling and marketing expenses increased 0.2% to 2.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 increased $18.9 million, or 34.5%, to $73.6 million as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024 driven primarily by a $3.5 million legal settlement along with other related legal fees and increases in stock-based compensation expense, incentive pay and salaries. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased 4.1% to 12.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 8.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

Provision for Income Taxes
Previous report
Our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, decreased $0.45 million, or 13.1%, to $3.0 million compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease primarily resulted from impairment charges related to our Maverick Boat Group reporting unit for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by increased pre-tax earnings and corresponding state taxes. For the nine months ended March 31, 2025, the Company's effective tax rate was reduced by research tax credits. These reductions were partially offset by shortfall expense generated by certain stock-based compensation, certain federal tax code limitations, and the impact of U.S. state taxes. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, our effective tax rate was reduced by impairment charges related to our Maverick Boat Group reporting unit, as well as certain federal tax code limitations and the impact of U.S. state taxes.

Non-controlling Interest
Previous report
Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income
Previous report
We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income as net income (loss) attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. (i) excluding income tax expense (benefit), (ii) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, (iii) assuming the exchange of all LLC Units into shares of Class A Common Stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in the LLC, and (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense (benefit) on fully distributed net income (loss) before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate. Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure because it represents net income (loss) attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc., before non-recurring or non-cash items and the effects of non-controlling interests in the LLC.
Previous report
We use Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.
Previous report
We believe Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income assists our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net income (loss) on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes non-cash or non-recurring items, and eliminates the variability of non-controlling interest as a result of member owner exchanges of LLC Units into shares of Class A Common Stock.
Previous report
In addition, because Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is susceptible to varying calculations, the Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income measures, as presented in this Quarterly Report, may differ from and may, therefore, not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Previous report
The following table shows the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stock per share to Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income per Share of Class A Common Stock for the periods presented (in thousands except share and per share data):

Previous report
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 borrowed $75.0 million under the revolving credit facility to fund a portion of that payment. We maintain liability insurance applicable to the Batchelder-related matters with coverage up to $26.0 million. As of March 31, 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.

We sell our boats through a dealer network that we believe is the strongest in the recreational powerboat category. As of June 30, 2024, our worldwide distribution channel consisted of over 400 dealer locations globally. Our dealer base is an important part of our consumers’ experience, our marketing efforts and our brands. We devote significant time and resources to find, develop and improve the performance of our dealers and believe our dealer network gives us a distinct competitive advantage. We had one dealer that represented more than 10% of our consolidated net sales in fiscal year 2024 and the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, OneWater Marine, Inc. In fiscal year 2023, we had two dealers that represented more than 10% of our consolidated net sales, OneWater Marine, Inc. and Tommy's Boats. During fiscal year 2024, we informed Tommy's Boats that we would not be renewing any of their dealer agreements that had expired as of June 30, 2023 and we terminated two dealer agreements in Texas that had not expired. Tommy's Boats subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection. We subsequently entered into dealer agreements with dealers in 14 of the 15 markets previously served by Tommy's Boats. During the nine months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 22 units that were subject to repurchase agreements, including 19 boats from the inventory of Tommy's Boats that were subject to our repurchase agreement with M&T Bank, the floor plan financing lender for Tommy's Boats. Those repurchases 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 bankruptcy trustee retained Gordon Brothers to sell the remaining inventory as part of the liquidation of Tommy's inventory. As of December 31, 2024, we believe none of our new model year 2023 and 2024 boats were remaining in the inventory of Tommy's Boats.

The recreational power boat industry continues to be challenged by macro-economic factors, including high inflation and high interest rates, that have increased the cost of production and taken many interest rate sensitive buyers out of the market. In recent months, tariffs have also been introduced, as discussed below, and we are monitoring the impact they may have on cost of production and demand. Simultaneously, less price sensitive buyers have been purchasing larger, more feature-rich boats with higher average selling prices.

Our financial results and operations have been, and will continue to be, impacted by events outside of our control, including trade policies and tariffs, inflationary pressures, interest rates, material shortages, weather events and global economic uncertainty. The current international trade and regulatory environment is subject to significant ongoing uncertainty. The U.S. presidential administration has recently announced substantial new tariffs affecting a wide range of products and jurisdictions and has indicated an intention to continue negotiating trade policies. In response, some countries have implemented, and other countries may implement, countermeasures in response to U.S. tariffs. We estimate that 18-20% of our cost of sales are sourced from outside the United States and thus we have the potential to be materially impacted by tariffs in future periods. We are continuing to monitor the potential long-term impact of tariffs and are taking a proactive approach to mitigating material supply chain risks. We, however, do not anticipate tariffs materially impacting our cost structure for the remainder of fiscal year 2025.

The current international trade and regulatory environment is subject to significant ongoing uncertainty. Earlier this year, the U.S. presidential administration announced substantial new tariffs affecting a wide range of products and jurisdictions and has indicated an intention to continue negotiating trade policies. In response, some countries have implemented, and other countries may implement, countermeasures in response to U.S. tariffs. We estimate that 18-20% of our cost of sales are sourced from outside the United States and thus we have the potential to be materially impacted by tariffs in future periods. We are continuing to monitor the potential long-term impact of tariffs and are taking a proactive approach to mitigating material supply chain risks. We expect additional material costs to be incurred in fiscal year 2026 due to new tariff exposure of approximately 1.5% to 3% of cost of sales, assuming current tariff rates. We expect to largely offset these added costs via price increases.
Previous wording
Numerous other variables also have the potential to impact our volumes, both positively and negatively. In the near term, we expect to continue to experience reduced retail consumer demand for our product and on-going pressure from dealers to reduce dealer inventories. However, we expect to continue to successfully navigate a challenging economic environment and anticipate delivering higher sales in the second half of fiscal 2025 relative to the same period in fiscal 2024 and relative to the first half of fiscal 2025.
Current wording
In the near term, we expect to continue to experience reduced retail consumer demand for our product and on-going pressure from dealers to reduce dealer inventories. However, we will maintain our disciplined approach to dealer health and leverage our cash generation to continue investing in the business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment expense and non-cash, non-recurring or non-operating expenses, including certain professional fees, litigation settlements and non-cash compensation expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. Management believes adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assist in highlighting trends in our operating results without regard to our financing methods, capital structure and non-recurring or non-operating expenses. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, the methods by which assets were acquired and other factors. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $35.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $39.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.8 million. The decrease in cash from operating activities resulted from a decrease of $34.6 million in net income (after consideration of non-cash items included in net income (loss), primarily related to depreciation, amortization, deferred tax assets and non-cash compensation) offset by a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $30.8 million. The increase in net operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by a one-time payment of $100.0 million with respect to a settlement agreement entered in connection with all Batchelder-related product liability matters during the nine months ended March 31, 2024, offset by $21.0 million in insurance coverage proceeds received during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 that are subject in certain cases to reservations of rights by the insurance carriers, as well as the timing of collections of accounts receivables, payments for accruals and payables, and purchases of inventory.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash, non-operating expenses or other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses, including certain professional fees, litigation settlements, non-cash compensation expense and adjustments to our tax receivable agreement liability. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of net loss as determined by GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assist in highlighting trends in our operating results without regard to our financing methods, capital structure and non-recurring or non-operating expenses.

We exclude the items listed above from net loss per share in arriving at adjusted net income per share because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, the methods by which assets were acquired and other factors. Adjusted net income per share has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss per share as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity. Certain items excluded are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance. Our presentation of adjusted net income per share should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of this measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

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, we believe none of our new model year 2023 and 2024 boats were remaining in the inventory of Tommy's Boats. 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 15 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further information on repurchase commitments.
