Overview

We are a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of a diverse range of recreational powerboats, including performance sport boats, sterndrive, outboard boats, and premium adventure dayboats. Our product portfolio of premium brands is used for a broad range of recreational boating activities including, among others, water sports, such as water skiing, wakeboarding and wake surfing, as well as general recreational boating and fishing. Our passion for consistent innovation, which has led to proprietary technology such as Surf Gate, has allowed us to expand the market for our products by introducing consumers to new and exciting recreational activities. We design products that appeal to an expanding range of recreational boaters and water sports enthusiasts whose passion for boating and water sports is a key aspect of their lifestyle and provide consumers with a better customer-inspired experience. With performance, quality, value and multi-purpose features, our product portfolio has us well positioned to broaden our addressable market and achieve our goal of increasing our market share in the recreational boating industry.

In March 2026, we acquired Saxdor Yachts Oy ("Saxdor"). Saxdor is a leading European designer and manufacturer of premium adventure dayboats. Saxdor has a team of approximately 800 employees with three engineering and manufacturing facilities in Finland and Poland. See "Acquisition of Saxdor" below for more information.

We currently sell our boats under nine brands as shown in the table below, and we report our results of operations under four reportable segments, Malibu, Saltwater Fishing, Cobalt, and Saxdor. In connection with our acquisition of Saxdor we revised our segment reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 to report our results of operations under the following four reportable segments.

Our Malibu segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale throughout the world of Malibu and Axis performance sports boats. Our flagship Malibu boats offer our latest innovations in performance, comfort and convenience, and are designed for consumers seeking a premium performance sport boat experience. As of June 30, 2026, we are among the market leaders in the United States in the performance sport boat category through our Malibu and Axis brands. Our Axis boats appeal to consumers who desire a more affordable performance sport boat product but still demand high performance, functional simplicity and the option to upgrade key features. Retail prices of our Malibu and Axis boats typically range from $80,000 to $300,000.

Our Saltwater Fishing segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale throughout the world of Pursuit boats and the Maverick Boat Group family of boats (Maverick, Cobia, Pathfinder and Hewes). Our Pursuit boats include center console, dual console and offshore models. Our Maverick Boat Group family of boats are highly complementary to Pursuit, expanding our saltwater outboard offerings with a strong focus in length segments under 30 feet. We are among the market leaders in the fiberglass outboard fishing boat category with the brands in our Saltwater Fishing segment. Retail prices for our Saltwater Fishing boats typically range from $45,000 to $1,400,000.

Our Cobalt segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale throughout the world of Cobalt boats. Our Cobalt boats consist of mid to large-sized luxury cruisers and bowriders that we believe offer the ultimate experience in comfort, performance and quality. As of June 30, 2026, we are among the market leaders in the United States in the 20’ - 40’ segment of the sterndrive boat category through our Cobalt brand. Retail prices for our Cobalt boats typically range from $75,000 to $625,000.

Our Saxdor segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale throughout the world of Saxdor boats. Our Saxdor boats expand our product offerings into the premium adventure dayboat market, including boats with lengths over 40 feet. Through our acquisition of Saxdor on March 2, 2026, we have expanded our international footprint to 68 countries. Retail prices for our Saxdor boats typically range from $130,000 to $825,000.

We sell our boats through a dealer network that we believe is among the strongest in the recreational powerboat industry. As of June 30, 2026, our distribution channel consisted of over 345 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 years 2026 and 2025.

We achieved fiscal year 2026 net sales, net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA of $914.6 million, $1.7 million and $73.9 million, respectively, compared to $807.6 million, $15.2 million and $74.8 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2025. For the definition of adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income (loss), see “GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Acquisition of Saxdor

On March 2, 2026, we acquired all issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock and option rights of Saxdor pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") for a purchase price consisting of (i) €111.6 million or approximately $131.3 million in cash, as adjusted for customary adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) 1,523,794 shares of our Class A common stock. The cash consideration was financed through cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. See Note 4 - Acquisition for further details on changes from the initial measurement at the date of acquisition. The inputs to the aggregate purchase price described above differ from our closing 8-K filed for the Saxdor acquisition.

Additionally, we may pay up to a maximum of €71.3 million or $84.2 million in potential earnout payments ("the earnout consideration") to the sellers to be paid out in calendar year 2027, 2028, and 2029 based on the results of the remainder of calendar year 2026 and the subsequent two calendar years (the “earnout period”), respectively, if certain requirements are met. The current fair value of potential earnout consideration is €26.2 million, or approximately $29.9 million. The earnout consideration may be paid in the form of cash, common stock or a combination thereof, as calculated and determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The form of earnout consideration to be paid is at our sole discretion. The Purchase Agreement also includes certain operating covenants, restrictions, and acceleration provisions applicable during the earnout period. An amount of €1.5 million or approximately $1.7 million related to post-closing adjustments to the purchase price was recorded during our fourth quarter as an offset to the contingent earnout liability as the Company intends, and has the legal right, to withhold such amount from future earnout payments. See Note 4 - Acquisition for further details on changes from the initial measurement at the date of acquisition.
