OneWater Marine Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Description of Company and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Business
OneWater Marine Inc. (“OneWater Inc”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 3, 2019 and was a wholly-owned subsidiary of One Water Marine Holdings, LLC (“OneWater LLC”). Pursuant to a reorganization on February 11, 2020 into a holding company structure for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the “IPO”) and related transactions in order to carry on the business of OneWater LLC and its subsidiaries (together with OneWater Inc, the “Company”), OneWater Inc is the holding company and its sole material asset is the equity interest in OneWater LLC. OneWater LLC was organized as a limited liability company under the law of the State of Delaware in 2014 and is the parent company of One Water Assets & Operations (“OWAO”), and its subsidiaries.
The Company is one of the largest recreational marine retailers in the United States. The Company engages primarily in the retail sale, brokerage, and service of new and pre-owned boats, motors, trailers, the sale of marine parts and accessories, and offers slip and storage accommodations in certain locations. The Company also arranges related boat financing, insurance, and extended service contracts for customers with third-party lenders and insurance companies. As of June 30, 2025, the Company operates a total of 97 retail locations,9 distribution centers/warehouses and multiple online marketplaces in 19 states, several of which are in the top twenty states for marine retail expenditures.
Operating results are generally subject to seasonal variations. Demand for products is generally highest during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year and, accordingly, revenues are generally expected to be higher during these periods. General economic conditions, including rising interest rates, tariff and duty rates as well as other uncertainties with respect to trade policies, and consumer spending patterns, can negatively impact the Company’s operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments, global public health concerns, or uncertainties could reduce consumer spending and adversely affect the Company’s business. Consumer spending on discretionary goods may also decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are otherwise favorable. The imposition of tariffs on foreign goods and services, as well as any retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods and services, could increase the price of supplies and materials we rely on to conduct our business, and, thus, negatively impact our operating results. Economic conditions in areas in which the Company operates, particularly in the Southeast, can have a major impact on the Company’s overall results of operations. Local influences such as corporate downsizing, inclement weather such as hurricanes, tornadoes and other storms, environmental conditions, and other events have and could adversely affect the Company’s operations in certain markets and in certain periods. Any extended period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence is likely to have a negative effect on the Company’s business.
Sales of new boats from the Company’s topten brands represent approximately 42.4% and 42.7% of total sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, making them major suppliers of the Company. Of this amount, Malibu Boats, Inc., including its brands Malibu, Axis, Cobalt, Pursuit, Maverick, Hewes, Cobia and Pathfinder accounted for 13.1% and 13.7% of our consolidated revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As is typical in the industry, the Company contracts with most manufacturers under renewable annual dealer agreements, each of which provides the right to sell various makes and models of boats within a given geographic region. Any change or termination of these agreements, for any reason, or changes in competitive, regulatory, or marketing practices, including rebate or incentive programs, could adversely affect results of operations. Pre-owned boats are usually trade-ins from retail customers who are purchasing a boat from the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
As the sole managing member of OneWater LLC, OneWater Inc operates and controls all of the businesses and affairs of OneWater LLC. Through OneWater LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly, OneWater Inc conducts its business. As a result, OneWater Inc consolidates the financial results of OneWater LLC and its subsidiaries and, prior to the redemption of all outstanding OneWater LLC units and shares of Class B common stock of OneWater Inc, historically reported non-controlling interests related to the portion of units of OneWater LLC (the “OneWater LLC Units”) not owned by OneWater Inc, which reduced net income (loss) attributable to OneWater Inc’s Class A stockholders. As of June 30, 2025, OneWater Inc owned 100.0% of the economic interest of OneWater LLC and, accordingly, going forward will no longer report any non-controlling interest related to OneWater LLC Units.
Commencing December 31, 2021, the Company owned 80% of the economic interest of Quality Assets and Operations, LLC, over which the Company exercised control and the minority interest in this subsidiary was recorded accordingly. On October 31, 2023, the Company acquired the remaining 20% of the economic interest and, as a result, owns 100% of Quality Assets and Operations, LLC.
Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements, which do not include all the information and notes required by such accounting principles for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with OneWater Inc’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. All adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments considered by management to be necessary for fair presentation, have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates on a fiscal year basis with the first day of the fiscal year being October 1, and the last day of the fiscal year ending on September 30.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash
At times the amount of cash on deposit may exceed the federally insured limit of the bank. Deposit accounts at each of the institutions are insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company exceeded FDIC limits at various institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes there is little to no exposure to any significant credit risk. Total cash and restricted cash shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is comprised of the amounts reported in cash and restricted cash on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash relates to amounts collected for brokerage sales, in certain states, which are held in escrow on behalf of the respective buyers and sellers for future purchases of boats.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The costs of inventories consist of amounts paid to acquire the inventory, net of vendor consideration received and purchase discounts, and, varying by inventory type, may include the cost of reconditioning, equipment addition, transportation, material, labor and manufacturing overhead. The cost of the new and pre-owned boat inventory is determined using the specific identification method. In assessing lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company considers the aging of the boats, historical sales of a brand and current market conditions. The cost of acquired, manufactured and assembled parts and accessories is determined using methods which vary by subsidiary and include the average cost method, standard costs (which approximate average costs) and first-in, first-out (“FIFO”).
Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets
Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Other identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of trade names, developed technologies, and customer relationships related to the acquisitions the Company has completed. The Company has determined that trade names have an indefinite life, as there are no economic, contractual or other factors that limit their useful lives and they are expected to generate value as long as the trade name is utilized by the Company, and therefore, are not subject to amortization. Developed technologies and customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives often years. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, ‘‘Intangibles – Goodwill and Other’’ (‘‘ASC 350’’), which provides that the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill.
In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that impairment might have occurred. ASC 350 also states for annual impairment tests that if an entity determines, based on an assessment of certain qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, then a quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. The Company performs its annual test in the fiscal fourth quarter.
In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment – Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company assesses the potential for impairment of its definite-lived intangible assets if facts and circumstances, such as declines in sales, earnings, cash flows or adverse changes in the business climate, suggest that they may be impaired. Definite-lived intangible assets include developed technologies and customer relationships which are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Sales Tax
The Company collects sales tax on all of the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers and remits the entire amount to the states that imposed the sales tax. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted to the states from revenues and cost of sales.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized from the sale of products and commissions earned on new and pre-owned boats (including used, brokerage, consignment and wholesale) when ownership is transferred to the customer, which is generally upon acceptance by or delivery to the customer. At the time of acceptance or delivery, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits. We are the principal with respect to revenue from new, pre-owned and consignment sales and such revenue is recorded at the gross sales price. With respect to brokerage transactions, we are acting as an agent in the transaction, therefore the fee or commission is recorded on a net basis.
Revenue from parts and accessories sold directly to a customer (not on a repair order) is recognized when control of the item is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment. Revenue from parts and service operations (boat maintenance and repairs) is recorded over time as services are performed. Satisfaction of this performance obligation creates an asset with no alternative use for which an enforceable right to payment for performance to date exists within our contractual agreements. 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 period of one year or less from contract inception. The Company recorded contract assets in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $4.8 million and $4.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.
Certain parts and service transactions require the Company to perform shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the customer (e.g., when control transfers prior to delivery). They are considered fulfillment activities and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Revenue from storage and marina operations is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract as services are completed. Revenue from arranging financing, insurance and extended warranty contracts to customers through various third-party financial institutions and insurance companies is recognized when the related boats are sold. We do not directly finance our customers’ boat, motor or trailer purchases. We are acting as an agent in the transaction, therefore the commissions are recorded on a net basis. Subject to our agreements and in the event of early cancellation, prepayment or default of such loans or insurance contracts by the customer, we may be assessed a chargeback for a portion of the commission paid by the third-party financial institutions and insurance companies. We reserve for these chargebacks based on our historical experience with repayments or defaults. Chargebacks were not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenues from marina and storage operations and customer deposits and are classified in customer deposits in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deposits received from customers are recorded as a liability until the related sales orders have been fulfilled by us and control of the vessel is transferred to the customer. The activity in customer deposits for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
| ($ in thousands) | Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Beginning contract liability | $49,667 | $46,536 |
| Revenue recognized from contract liabilities included in the beginning balance | (34,891) | (29,787) |
| Increases due to cash received, net of amounts recognized in revenue during the period | 19,140 | 26,679 |
| Ending contract liability | $33,916 | $43,428 |
| ($ in thousands) | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2024 |

| Increases due to cash received, net of amounts recognized in revenue during the period | 27,857 | 39,746 |
| Ending contract liability | $33,916 | $43,428 |
The following table sets forth percentages on the timing of revenue recognition for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Goods and services transferred at a point in time | 94.1% | 94.2% |
| Goods and services transferred over time | 5.9% | 5.8% |
| Total Revenue | 100.0% | 100.0% |
| Nine Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Goods and services transferred at a point in time | 93.9% | 94.0% |
| Goods and services transferred over time | 6.1% | 6.0% |
| Total Revenue | 100.0% | 100.0% |
Income Taxes
OneWater Inc is a corporation and as a result, is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the book value and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period in which the enactment date occurs. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations.
OneWater LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore does not pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Instead, the OneWater LLC members are liable for U.S. federal income tax on their respective shares of the Company’s taxable income reported on the members’ U.S. federal income tax returns.
When there are situations with uncertainty as to the timing of the deduction, the amount of the deduction, or the validity of the deduction, the Company adjusts the financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained. Positions that meet this criterion are measured using the largest benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized. Interest and penalties related to income taxes are included in the benefit (provision) for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.
Vendor Consideration Received
Consideration received from vendors is accounted for in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 330, ‘‘Inventory’’ (‘‘ASC 330’’). Pursuant to ASC 330, manufacturer incentives based upon cumulative volume of sales and purchases are recorded as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales when the amounts are probable and reasonably estimable.
Derivative and Hedging Instruments
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its interest rate risk. The types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of cash flows caused by fluctuations in interest rates. The Company documents the management strategy and assesses hedge effectiveness at inception and throughout the term of the hedging relationship. Derivatives are reported at fair value on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The changes in fair value on the hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and reclassified to either interest expense – floor plan or interest expense – other in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the nature of the hedged transaction in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from hedging instruments, including cash receipts and payments, are classified on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows resulting from the item being hedged.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of any revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to inventory mark downs, certain assumptions related to intangible and long-lived assets and valuation of contingent consideration.
Segment Information
We report our operations throughtwo reportable segments: Dealerships and Distribution. The Dealership segment engages in the sale of new and pre-owned boats, arranges financing and insurance products, performs repairs and maintenance services, offers marine related parts and accessories and offers slip and storage accommodations in certain locations. The Distribution segment engages in the manufacturing, assembly and distribution primarily of marine related products to distributors, big box retailers and online retailers through a network of warehouse and distribution centers. Each reporting segment has discrete financial information and is regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as its CODM.
- New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosures of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. The pronouncement is effective for a public company's annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects this standard to result in an increase in the reportable segment disclosures made by the Company. The Company plans to adopt the pronouncement beginning in the annual report for fiscal year 2025 and in interim reports during fiscal year 2026.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which is intended to improve the transparency, effectiveness and comparability of income tax disclosures by requiring greater disaggregation of information and additional disclosures. The pronouncement is effective for a public company's annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt the pronouncement in fiscal year 2026.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. The pronouncement is effective for a public company's annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt the pronouncement beginning in the annual report for fiscal year 2028 and in interim reports during fiscal year 2029.
Other than as noted above, there are no new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
- Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable primarily consists of trade accounts receivable, contracts in transit and manufacturer receivables. Trade receivables include amounts due from customers on the sale of boats, parts, service, and storage. Contracts in transit represent anticipated funding from the loan agreement customers execute at the dealership when they purchase their new or pre-owned boat. These finance contracts are typically funded within 30 days. Amounts due from manufacturers represent receivables for various manufacturer incentive programs and parts and service work performed pursuant to the manufacturers’ warranties.
The allowance for credit losses is estimated based on past collection experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The activity for charges and subsequent recoveries is immaterial.
Accounts receivable consisted of the following:

| Total inventories | $517,093 | $590,838 |
- Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Our acquisitions have resulted in the recording of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Intangible assets consist of internally developed software, domain names and other identifiable intangible assets, such as trade names, developed technologies, and customer relationships related to the acquisitions the Company has completed. The changes in goodwill and intangible assets are as follows:

- Notes Payable — Floor Plan
The Company maintains an ongoing wholesale marine products inventory financing program with a syndicate of banks. The program is administered by Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) as set forth in the Eighth Amended and Restated Inventory Financing Agreement entered into by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries with Wells Fargo and the other financial institutions party thereto on November 14, 2023 (as amended from time to time, the “Inventory Financing Facility”). On November 13, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Consent, Waiver and Second Amendment to the Eighth Amended and Restated Inventory Financing Agreement with Wells Fargo and other lenders party thereto which, among other things, (i) modified certain definitions, terms and conditions, (ii) adjusted the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, (iii) adjusted the maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio, (iv) established a new minimum liquidity measure, (v) allowed for certain swap transactions to mitigate risk in the ordinary course of business, and (vi) reduced the maximum borrowing capacity from $650.0 million to $595.0 million. The Inventory Financing Facility expires on March 1, 2026. The outstanding balance of the facility was $435.8 million and $443.4 million, as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.
Interest on new boats and rental units is calculated using the Adjusted 30-Day Average SOFR (as defined in the Inventory Financing Facility) (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin of 2.75% to 5.00% depending on the age of the inventory. Interest on pre-owned boats is calculated at the new boat rate plus 0.25%. Wells Fargo will finance 100.0% of the vendor invoice price for new boats, engines, and trailers. As of June 30, 2025 the interest rate on the Inventory Financing Facility ranged from 7.18% to 9.43% for new inventory and 7.43% to 9.68% for pre-owned inventory. As of September 30, 2024 the interest rate on the Inventory Financing Facility ranged from
8.03% to 10.28% for new inventory and 8.28% to 10.53% for pre-owned inventory. Borrowing capacity available at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 was $159.2 million and $206.6 million, respectively.
The Inventory Financing Facility has certain financial and non-financial covenants as specified in the agreement. The financial covenants include requirements to comply with a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum liquidity measure (as defined in the Inventory Financing Facility). In addition, certain non-financial covenants could restrict the Company’s ability to sell assets (excluding inventory in the normal course of business), engage in certain mergers and acquisitions, incur additional debt and pay cash dividends or distributions, among others. The Company was in compliance with all covenants for the reporting period ended June 30, 2025.
The collateral for the Inventory Financing Facility consists primarily of our inventory that is financed through the Inventory Financing Facility and related assets, including accounts receivable, bank accounts and proceeds of the foregoing, and excludes the collateral that underlies the term note payable to Truist Bank.
- Long-term Debt and Line of Credit
On August 9, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Facility”) with Truist Bank. The A&R Credit Facility provides for a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (the “A&R Revolving Facility”) that may be used for revolving credit loans (including up to $5.0 million in swingline loans and up to $5.0 million in letters of credit) and a $445.0 million term loan (the “A&R Term Loan”). Subject to certain conditions, the available amount under the revolving credit facility and term loans may be increased by $125.0 million in the aggregate. The A&R Credit Facility bears interest at a rate that is equal to Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% based on certain consolidated leverage ratio measures. On November 13, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Waiver and Amendment No. 1 to Pledge and Security Agreement with Truist Bank to, among other things, (i) modify certain definitions, terms and conditions, (ii) adjust the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, (iii) adjust the maximum leverage ratio measures, (iv) adjust the minimum liquidity measure, and (v) modify the maturity date to be July 31, 2026, and in connection therewith, the repayment schedule. The A&R Revolving Facility matures on July 31, 2026. The A&R Term Loan is repayable in installments beginning December 31, 2022, with the remainder due on July 31, 2026. The maturity date of the A&R Credit Facility is within one year of the date that these financial statements are issued. The Company is in the process of amending the A&R Credit Facility and expects to modify the maturity date and extend the repayment schedule prior to the filing of the Company's Annual Report for the current fiscal year.
The A&R Credit Facility is collateralized by certain real and personal property (including certain capital stock) of the Company and its subsidiaries. The collateral does not include inventory and certain other assets of the Company’s subsidiaries financed under the Inventory Financing Facility. The A&R Credit Facility is subject to certain financial covenants related to the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum liquidity measure. The A&R Credit Facility also contains non-financial covenants and restrictive provisions that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, transfer or dispose of all of its assets, make certain investments, loans or payments and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The Company was in compliance with all covenants for the reporting period ended June 30, 2025.
Long-term debt consisted of the following at:

- Derivative and Hedging Instruments
The Company is subject to interest rate risk as a result of required interest payments of the Inventory Financing Facility and A&R Credit Facility. The Company hastwo interest rate swap agreements which are designed to provide a hedge against changes in variable rate cash flows regarding fluctuations in the SOFR and Term SOFR rates which are used in calculating interest payments. The following table provides information on the attributes of each swap as of June 30, 2025:
| Inception Date | Hedged Rate | Notional Value at Inception (in thousands) | Maturity Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 2024 | SOFR | $200,000 | September 2027 |
| September 2024 | Term SOFR | $200,000 | September 2027 |
The fair value of the cash flow swaps is calculated using an income approach. The income approach involves using the quoted price for economically equivalent inputs or valuation methodologies, assumptions and inputs, which in the case of projected future cash flows, discount such cash flows to a single net present value amount. The following table provides information regarding the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and the impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at ($ in thousands):
| Balance Sheet Location | June 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | $1,389 | $1,560 |
| Other long-term liabilities | (1,944) | (3,626) |
| Net asset (liability) | $(555) | $(2,066) |
The interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. The interest rate swaps are marked to market each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses, and the related income tax effects, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Information about the effect of the interest swap agreements in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), is as follows ($ in thousands):

- Stockholders’ Equity
Equity-Based Compensation
We maintain the OneWater Marine Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) to incentivize individuals providing services to OneWater Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The LTIP provides for the grant, from time to time, at the discretion of the board of directors of OneWater Marine Inc. (the “Board”) or a committee thereof, of (1) stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) restricted stock, (4) restricted stock units, (5) stock awards, (6) dividend equivalents, (7) other stock-based awards, (8) cash awards, (9) substitute awards and (10) performance awards. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the LTIP that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options (which generally are stock options that meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code) is 1,631,312. The LTIP is and will continue to be administered by the Board, except to the extent the Board elects a committee of directors to administer the LTIP. Class A common stock subject to an award that expires or is cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares (including forfeiture of restricted stock awards) and shares withheld to pay the exercise price of, or to satisfy the withholding obligations with respect to, an award will again be available for delivery pursuant to other awards under the LTIP.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Board approved the grant of 152,072 performance-based restricted stock units, which represents 100% of the target award. Performance-based restricted stock units provide an opportunity for the recipient to receive a number of shares of our common stock based on our performance goals. A performance-based restricted stock unit equalsone share of common stock of the Company. The performance-based restricted stock units vest inthree equal annual installments commencing on October 1, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company estimated achievement of the performance targets at 125%.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Board approved the grant of 211,978 time-based restricted stock units. Of this amount,36,596 restricted stock units fully vest on October 1, 2025 and the remaining 175,382 restricted stock units vest inthree equal annual installments commencing on October 1, 2025.
Compensation cost for time-based restricted stock units is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date immediately preceding the grant and is recognized on a graded basis over the applicable vesting periods. Compensation cost for performance share units is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date immediately preceding the grant and the ultimate performance level achieved and is recognized on a graded basis over the applicable vesting period. The Company recognized $2.3 million and $2.1 million of compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which includes $1.2 million and $0.9 million of compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for performance-based units. The Company recognized $6.3 million and $6.5 million of compensation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which includes $2.7 million and $2.6 million of compensation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for performance-based units.
The following table further summarizes activity related to restricted stock units for the nine months ended June 30, 2025:
| Restricted Stock Unit Awards | ||
|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
| Unvested at September 30, 2024 | 542,119 | $27.20 |
| Awarded | 364,050 | 23.91 |
| Vested | (238,352) | 27.54 |
| Forfeited | (3,999) | 25.51 |
| Unvested at June 30, 2025 | 663,818 | $25.29 |
Asof June 30, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding equity awards was $6.3 million, whichthe Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.
We issue shares of our Class A common stock upon the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units. These shares are issued from our authorized and not outstanding common stock. In addition, in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units, we repurchase a portion of shares equal to the amount of employee income tax withholding. We recognize forfeitures of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units as the forfeitures occur.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to OneWater Inc by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares.
The following table sets forth the calculation of net earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share data):

| Net (loss) earnings per share of Class A common stock – diluted | $(0.10) | $0.24 |
Shares of Class B common stock and unvested restricted stock units do not share in the income (losses) of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
The following number of weighted-average potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share because the effect of including such potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive upon conversion (in thousands):

On March 30, 2022, the Board approved a share repurchase program up to $50 million. No shares of Class A common stock were repurchased by the Company during the nine months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025 the Company has repurchased and retired 73,487 shares of Class A common stock under the repurchase program for a purchase price of approximately $1.9 million. As of June 30, 2025, approximately $48.1 million remained available for future purchase under the repurchase program. The repurchase program does not have a predetermined expiration date.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
At the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), held on February 23, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the OneWater Marine Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was approved and adopted by the Board as of January 13, 2021 (the “Adoption Date”), subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The effective date of the ESPP is February 23, 2021, and, unless earlier terminated, the ESPP will expire on the twentieth anniversary of the Adoption Date. The ESPP will be administered by the Board or by one or more committees to which the Board delegates such administration.
The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount through participation in discrete offering periods. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Up to a maximum of 567,455 additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock may be issued under the ESPP as of June 30, 2025, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the ESPP. On the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the ESPP, beginning on October 1, and ending on (and including) September 30, the number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the ESPP will increase by a number of shares equal to the least of (i)1% of the outstanding shares on the Adoption Date, or (ii) such lesser number of shares (including zero) that the administrator determines for purposes of the annual increase for that fiscal year. The number of shares of Class A common stock that may be granted to any single participant in any single option period will be subject to certain limitations set forth in the plan.
The Company recorded equity-based compensation for the ESPP of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and $0.4 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had current liabilities of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for future purchases of shares under the ESPP. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,36,167 and 25,493 shares were issued under the ESPP at an average share price of $14.77 and $28.72, respectively.
We used a Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of the options granted to purchase shares issued pursuant to the ESPP. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The following are the assumptions used for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Dividend yield | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.3 - 5.4% | 5.2 - 5.5% |
| Volatility | 55.0 - 65.5% | 37.6 - 62.7% |
| Expected life | Six months | Six months |
Distributions
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company made distributions to OneWater Unit Holders for certain permitted tax payments.
Non-Controlling Interest
As discussed in Note 1, OneWater Inc consolidates the financial results of OneWater LLC and its subsidiaries. Prior to March 31, 2025, OneWater Inc reported non-controlling interests attributable to the portion of OneWater LLC Units not owned by OneWater Inc. Holders of OneWater LLC Units could exchange their LLC Units, together with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock of OneWater Inc, for shares of Class A common stock of OneWater Inc on a one-for-one basis or, at OneWater LLC's election, cash. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the remaining OneWater LLC Units, as well as 1,429,940 shares of Class B common stock of OneWater Inc, were exchanged for 1,429,940 shares of Class A common stock of OneWater Inc. As of June 30, 2025, OneWater Inc owned 100.0% of the economic interest of OneWater LLC and, accordingly, going forward will no longer report a non-controlling interest related to OneWater LLC Units.
- Fair Value Measurements
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches including market, income and/or cost approaches. FASB standard ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ (Topic 820) establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Company’s expectation of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Assets utilizing Level 1 inputs include marketable securities that are actively traded.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Asset and liability measurements utilizing Level 3 inputs include those used in estimating fair value of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in purchase acquisitions, those used in assessing impairment of property and equipment and other intangibles, and those used in the reporting unit valuation in the annual goodwill impairment evaluation and contingent consideration.
The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment required in determining fair value is greatest for assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair value measurements can be volatile based on various factors that may or may not be within the Company’s control.
The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024:
| ($ in thousands) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |

There were no transfers between the valuation hierarchy Levels 1, 2, and 3 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025.
We measure all equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value with the change in fair value included in other expense (income), net, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of equity investments is measured using quoted prices in its active markets. The investment in equity securities balance is recorded in other long-term assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The portion of unrealized losses recognized related to equity securities still held as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 consists of the following:
| ($ in thousands) | Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Net loss recognized during the period on equity securities | $27 | $38 |
| Less net loss recognized during the period on equity securities sold during the period | — | — |
| Unrealized loss recognized during the reporting period on equity securities still held at the reporting date | $27 | $38 |
| ($ in thousands) | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Net loss recognized during the period on equity securities | $73 | $173 |
| Less net loss recognized during the period on equity securities sold during the period | — | — |
| Unrealized loss recognized during the reporting period on equity securities still held at the reporting date | $73 | $173 |
We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model based on forecasted future earnings or other agreed upon metrics including the production of acquisition leads. The acquisition contingent consideration liability has been accounted for based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (Level 3). The contingent consideration balance is recorded in other payables and accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value and net present value of contingent consideration are recorded in change in fair value of contingent consideration in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of contingent consideration is reassessed on a quarterly basis.
The following tables set forth the changes in fair value of our contingent consideration for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025:
| ($ in thousands) | Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Balance as of March 31, 2025 | $9,126 |
| Additions from acquisitions | — |
| Settlement of contingent consideration | — |
| Change in fair value, including accretion | 144 |
| Balance as of June 30, 2025 | $9,270 |
| ($ in thousands) | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Balance as of September 30, 2024 | $15,161 |
| Additions from acquisitions | — |
| Settlement of contingent consideration | (6,343) |
| Change in fair value, including accretion | 452 |
| Balance as of June 30, 2025 | $9,270 |
We determine the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other payables and accrued expenses, floor plan notes payable, term note payable with Truist Bank, seller notes payable and company vehicle notes payable approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. Derivative and hedging instruments are recorded at fair value as discussed in Note 9.
- Restructuring and Impairment
During thenine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company underwent various restructuring actions, primarily a reduction of headcount, closure of certain locations and inventory adjustments related to the cancellation of certain dealer agreements. As a result of the restructuring activities, the Company recognized $0.7 million of restructuring charges during the three months ended June 30, 2025, of which$0.2 million is recorded in restructuring and impairment and$0.5 million is recorded in new boat cost of sales in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations. Of the$0.7 million of restructuring charges, $0.5 million and $0.2 million is reported in the Dealership and Distribution reporting segments, respectively. The Company recognized$3.0 million of restructuring charges during thenine months ended June 30, 2025, of which $1.5 million is recorded in restructuring and impairment and $1.5 million is recorded in new boat cost of sales in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations. Of the $3.0 million restructuring charges, $1.6 million and $1.4 million is reported in the Dealerships and Distribution reporting segments, respectively.
In March 2024, the Company evaluated its operations and decided to undergo a restructuring plan (the "2024 Restructuring") which resulted in the reduction of headcount and retail locations, cancellation of certain dealer agreements, and the cancellation of certain in-process information and technology ("IT") related projects. As a result of the 2024 Restructuring, the Company recognized $11.8 million of charges during thenine months ended June 30, 2024, which are recorded in restructuring and impairment in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations. No charges were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
- Income Taxes
The Company is a corporation and, as a result, is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. OneWater LLC is treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal tax purposes and in most state and local jurisdictions. As such, OneWater LLC’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal and state income taxes on their respective shares of OneWater LLC’s taxable income.
Our effective tax rates of 24.7% and 27.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 36.8% and 34.4% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, differ from statutory rates primarily due to losses allocated to non-controlling interests and limitations on officer's compensation.
The Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards from underlying corporate entities of approximately $4.3 million resulting in a deferred tax asset of $0.9 million as of September 30, 2024. The U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards have no expiration but can only be used to offset up to 80% of future taxable income annually. The Company has Alabama net operating loss carryforwards of $0.3 million which has no limitation in use and expire in the years 2037 to 2040. The Company projects to fully utilize the net operating losses in subsequent fiscal years.
The Company has an IRC Section 163(j) interest expense carryforward of approximately $3.7 million, resulting in a deferred tax asset of $0.9 million as of September 30, 2024. The IRC Section 163(j) interest expense carryforward has no expiration.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. Based on our cumulative earnings history and forecasted future sources of taxable income, we believe that we will fully realize our deferred tax assets in the future. The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance.
As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company has not recognized any uncertain tax positions, penalties, or interest as management has concluded that no such positions exist. The Company is subject to examination in the US Federal and certain state tax jurisdictions for the tax years beginning with the year ended December 31, 2020. In November 2024, the Company received notification that the Florida Department of Revenue intended to commence a corporate income tax audit of OneWater Inc for the tax years ended September 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023. The audit is ongoing and the outcome and timing of settlements of asserted income tax liabilities, if any, are uncertain.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with certain of the owners of OneWater LLC. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, our undiscounted liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $40.8 million and $40.6 million, respectively, representing 85% of the calculated net cash savings in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that OneWater Inc anticipates realizing in future years from the result of certain increases in tax basis and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest as a result of OneWater Inc’s acquisition of OneWater LLC Units pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right (each as defined in the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of OneWater LLC (the “OneWater LLC Agreement”)).
The projection of future taxable income involves significant judgment. Actual taxable income may differ from our estimates, which could significantly impact our ability to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We have determined it is more-likely-than-not that we will be able to utilize all of our deferred tax assets subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement; therefore, we have recorded a liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement related to the tax savings we may realize from certain increases in tax basis and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest as a result of OneWater Inc’s acquisition of OneWater LLC Units pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or Call Right (each as defined in the OneWater LLC Agreement). If we determine the utilization of these deferred tax assets is not more-likely-than-not in the future, our estimate of amounts to be paid under the Tax Receivable Agreement would be reduced. In this scenario, the reduction of the liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement would result in a benefit to our consolidated statements of operations.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Employment Agreements
The Company is party to employment agreements with certain executives, which provide for compensation, other benefits and severance payments under certain circumstances. The Company also has consulting and noncompete agreements in place with previous owners of acquired companies.
Claims and Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings as either the defendant or plaintiff. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between the affected parties and other actions. Management assesses the probability of losses or gains for such contingencies and accrues a liability and/or discloses the relevant circumstances as appropriate. In the opinion of management, it is not reasonably probable that the pending litigation, disputes or claims against the Company, as of June 30, 2025, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of any matter cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters presently known or arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Risk Management
The Company is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions and natural disasters for which the Company carries commercial insurance. There have been no significant reductions in coverage from the prior year and settlements have not exceeded coverage in the past years.
- Leases
The Company leases real estate and equipment under operating lease agreements. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with terms in excess of 12 months, we record a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We do not have any significant leases that have not yet commenced that create significant rights and obligations for us. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for all leases that qualify.
Our real estate and equipment leases often require payment of maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance. These costs are generally variable and based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. These amounts are not included in the consideration of the contract when determining the ROU asset and lease liability but are reflected as variable lease payments.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease fromone toten or more years. The exercise of the lease renewal option is typically at our sole discretion. If it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option to renew, the period covered by the options are included in the lease term and are recognized as part of our ROU assets and lease liabilities. Certain leases include the option to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, which includes renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised.
Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically based on index rates. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

- Subsequent Events
On July 4, 2025, the United Stated Congress passed the budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA"). The OBBBA contains several changes to federal tax law and other regulatory provisions that will impact the Company, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the OBBBA and, as such, its potential impact on the consolidated financial statements is not currently estimable.
