AND SUBSIDIARIES Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Malibu Boats, Inc.'s (the "Company") management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company's financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company's management, including its chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023. In making this assessment, the Company used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) . Based on such assessment the Company's management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, its internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its attestation report, which is included herein. Malibu Boats, Inc. Loudon, Tennessee August 29, 2023 54 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Malibu Boats, Inc.: Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Malibu Boats, Inc. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated August 29, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ KPMG LLP Knoxville, Tennessee August 29, 2023 55 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Malibu Boats, Inc.: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Malibu Boats, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated August 29, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Evaluation of certain assumptions underlying the product warranty liability for certain brands As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s product warranty liability as of June 30, 2023 was $41.7 million. The product warranty liability represents estimated future costs to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period for each boat sold. The Company’s estimated future costs to repair or replace defective products includes assumptions regarding the anticipated warranty costs per boat by brand. We identified the evaluation of the anticipated warranty costs per boat that are used to estimate the product warranty liability for Malibu and Axis branded boats as a critical audit matter. A higher degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company’s estimate of the anticipated warranty costs per boat, due to the nature of the audit evidence. Specifically, for Axis and Malibu model years prior to 2016, historical claims experience only exists for a warranty term of two and three years, respectively. This historical claim experience is shorter in duration than the five-year warranty term associated with the Company’s current warranty program. 56 Table of Contents The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s warranty accrual process. This included controls over the development of the assumptions used to estimate the warranty cost per boat for warranty year five, for which less claims experience exists. We performed sensitivity analyses to assess the potential for possible changes to these assumptions on the product warranty liability. We assessed the Company’s historical claims experience and the relationship between the historical warranty costs per boat incurred by warranty year. We further assessed the Company’s assumptions underlying the anticipated warranty costs per boat for warranty year five by considering warranty claims received after year-end but before the consolidated financial statements were issued, to identify trends not considered by the Company when it developed its assumptions. We also compared the Company’s prior year product warranty liability related to claims expected to be incurred in the current year to actual claims received in the current year to evaluate the historical accuracy of the Company’s estimate. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Dollars in thousands, except per unit and share and per share data) 1. Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Malibu Boats, Inc. (“MBI”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or "Malibu"), a Delaware corporation formed on November 1, 2013, is the sole managing member of Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "LLC"). The Company operates and controls all of the LLC's business and affairs and, therefore, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation , consolidates the financial results of the LLC and its subsidiaries, and records a non-controlling interest for the economic interest in the Company held by the non-controlling holders of units in the LLC ("LLC Units"). The LLC was formed in 2006. The LLC, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Malibu Boats, LLC, (“Boats LLC”), is engaged in the design, engineering, manufacturing and marketing of innovative, high-quality, recreational powerboats that are sold through a world-wide network of independent dealers. The Company sells its boats under eight brands -- Malibu, Axis, Pursuit, Maverick, Cobia, Pathfinder, Hewes and Cobalt brands. T he Company reports its results of operations under three reportable segments -- Malibu, Saltwater Fishing and Cobalt. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Units and shares are presented as whole numbers while all dollar amounts are presented in thousands, unless otherwise noted. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations and accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries thereof. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Segment Reporting The Company has three reportable segments, Malibu, Saltwater Fishing and Cobalt. The Malibu segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale of Malibu and Axis performance sports boats throughout the world. The Saltwater Fishing segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale throughout the world of Pursuit boats and the Maverick Boat Group boats (Maverick, Cobia, Pathfinder and Hewes). The Cobalt segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale of Cobalt boats throughout the world. The Company revised its segment reporting effective December 31, 2020, to account for its acquisition of Maverick Boat Group and to conform to changes in its internal management reporting based on the Company’s boat manufacturing operations. Prior to this change in reporting segments, the Company had three reportable segments, Malibu, Pursuit and Cobalt. The Company now aggregates Pursuit and Maverick Boat Group into one reportable segment as they have similar economic characteristics and qualitative factors. As a result, the Company continues to have three reportable segments, Malibu, Saltwater Fishing and Cobalt. Additional segment information is contained in Note 19. 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material. Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to those risks common in manufacturing-driven markets, including, but not limited to, competitive forces, dependence on key personnel, consumer demand for its products, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, compliance with government regulations and the possibility of not being able to obtain additional financing if and when needed. 63 Table of Contents Concentration of Credit and Business Risk A majority of the Company’s sales are made pursuant to floor plan financing programs in which the Company participates on behalf of its dealers through a contingent repurchase agreement with various third-party financing institutions. Under these arrangements, a dealer establishes a line of credit with one or more of these third-party lenders for the purchase of dealer boat inventory. When a dealer purchases and takes delivery of a boat pursuant to a floor plan financing arrangement, it draws against its line of credit and the lender pays the invoice cost of the boat directly to the Company within approximately two weeks. For dealers that use local floor plan financing programs or pay cash, the Company may extend credit without collateral under the dealer agreement based on the Company’s evaluation of the dealer’s credit risk and past payment history. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses that it believes are adequate. See Trade Accounts Receivable section within this footnote for more information. The Company’s top ten dealers represented 41.1 %, 39.9 % and 38.7 %, of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Sales to the Company's dealers under common control of OneWater Marine, Inc. represented approximately 17.2 % , 16.8 % and 16.3 % of the Company's consolidated net sales in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 , 2022 , and 2021 respectively. Sales to the Company's dealers under common control of Tommy's Boats represented approximately 10.7 %, 9.4 % and 7.3 % of the Company's consolidated net sales in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 , 2022 , and 2021 respectively. Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, no highly liquid investments were held and the entire balance consists of cash. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, substantially all cash on hand was held by two financial institutions. This cash on deposit may be, at times, in excess of insurance limits provided by the FDIC. Trade Accounts Receivable Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the allowance for doubtful receivables was $ 0 . Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding beyond customer terms. Goodwill Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis, as of June 30, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other . Under the guidance, the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this assessment indicates the possibility of impairment, the income approach to test for goodwill impairment would be used. Under the income approach, management calculates the fair value of its reporting units based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. If the fair value of an individual reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets including goodwill assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets including goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then management determines the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Company performed a quantitative assessment on the Maverick Boat Group reporting unit which indicated that the fair value of its reporting unit more likely than not exceeded its carrying amount. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Company performed a qualitative assessment on the remaining reporting units which indicated that the fair value of its reporting units more likely than not exceeded their respective carrying amounts. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Company performed a qualitative assessment which indicated that the fair value of its reporting units more likely than not exceeded their respective carrying amounts. The Company did no t recognize any goodwill impairment charges in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021. 64 Table of Contents Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist primarily of relationships, product trade names, legal and contractual rights surrounding a patent and a non-compete agreement. These assets are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates using the income approach. Definite lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 20 years. The estimated useful lives of dealer relationships consider the average length of dealer relationships at the time of acquisition, historical rates of dealer attrition and retention, the Company’s history of renewal and extension of dealer relationships, as well as competitive and economic factors resulting in a range of useful lives. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s trade names are based on a number of factors including technological obsolescence and the competitive environment. The estimated useful lives of legal and contractual rights are estimated based on the benefits that the patent provides for its remaining terms unless competitive, technological obsolescence or other factors indicate a shorter life. The useful life of the non-compete agreement is based on a ten-year agreement entered into by the Company and former owner of the Licensee as part of the acquisition. In addition, the Company has indefinite lived intangible assets for acquired trade names. Management, assisted by third-party valuation specialists, determined the estimated fair values of separately identifiable intangible assets at the date of acquisition under the income approach. Significant data and assumptions used in the valuations included cost, market and income comparisons, discount rates, royalty rates and management forecasts. Discount rates for each intangible asset were selected based on judgment of relative risk and approximate rates of returns investors in the subject assets might require. The royalty rates were based on historical and projected sales and profits of products sold and management’s assessment of the intangibles’ importance to the sales and profitability of the product. Management provided forecasts of financial data pertaining to assets, liabilities and income statement balances to be utilized in the valuations. While management believes the assumptions, estimates, appraisal methods and ensuing results are appropriate and represent the best evidence of fair value in the circumstances, modification or use of other assumptions or methods could have yielded different results. The carrying amount of definite lived intangible assets are reviewed whenever circumstances arise that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying value of these assets is compared to the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the carrying value is compared to the fair value and this difference is recognized as an impairment loss. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. There was no impairment loss recognized on intangible assets for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Dealer Incentives The Company provides for various structured dealer rebate and sales promotions incentives, which are recognized as a component of sales in measuring the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, at the time of sale to the dealer. Examples of such programs include rebates, seasonal discounts and other allowances. Dealer rebates and sales promotion expenses are estimated based on current programs and historical achievement and/or usage rates. Actual results may differ from these estimates if market conditions dictate the need to enhance or reduce sales promotion and incentive programs or if dealer achievement or other items vary from historical trends. Free floor financing incentives include payments to the lenders providing floor plan financing to the dealers or directly to the dealers themselves. Free floor financing incentives are estimated at the time of sale to the dealer based on the expected expense to the Company over the term of the free flooring period and are recognized as a reduction in sales. The Company accounts for both incentive payments directly to dealers and payment to third party lenders in this manner. Dealer incentives are included in accrued expenses on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. 65 Table of Contents Changes in the Company’s accrual for dealer rebates were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of year $ 15,852 $ 11,666 $ 6,865 Add: Dealer rebate incentives 32,953 35,210 28,629 Additions for acquisitions — — 219 Less: Dealer rebates paid ( 35,090 ) ( 31,024 ) ( 24,047 ) Balance at end of year $ 13,715 $ 15,852 $ 11,666 Changes in the Company’s accrual for floor financing were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of year $ 187 $ 121 $ 719 Add: Flooring incentives 13,926 3,717 4,157 Additions for acquisitions — — 30 Less: Flooring paid ( 12,979 ) ( 3,651 ) ( 4,785 ) Balance at end of year $ 1,134 $ 187 $ 121 Tax Receivable Agreement As a result of exchanges of LLC Units into Class A Common Stock and purchases by the Company of LLC Units from holders of LLC Units, the Company will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of the LLC at the time of such exchanges or purchases. In addition, such exchanges or purchases of LLC Units are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of the LLC that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. In connection with the recapitalization the Company completed in connection with its IPO, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with the pre-IPO owners of the LLC that provides for the payment by the Company to the pre-IPO owners (or any permitted assignees) of 85 % of the amount of the benefits, if any, that the Company deems to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis and (ii) certain other tax benefits, including those attributable to payments, under the tax receivable agreement. These contractual payment obligations are the Company's obligations and are not obligations of the LLC, and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies , since the obligations were deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, the benefit deemed realized by the Company will be computed by comparing its actual income tax liability (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that it would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of the LLC as a result of the purchases or exchanges, and had the Company not entered into the tax receivable agreement. The timing and/or amount of aggregate payments due under the tax receivable agreement may vary based on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates in the future and the tax rate then applicable and amortizable basis. The term of the tax receivable agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement for an amount based on the agreed payments remaining to be made under the agreement. In certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, the Company (or its successor) would owe to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC (or any permitted assignees) a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the tax receivable agreement that would be based on certain assumptions, including a deemed exchange of all LLC Units and that the Company would have had sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax basis and other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement. 66 Table of Contents Income Taxes Malibu Boats, Inc. is taxed as a C corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and is therefore subject to both federal and state taxation at a corporate level. Following the IPO, the LLC continues to operate in the United States as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Maverick Boat Group is taxed as a C corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and is separately subject to both federal and state taxation at a corporate level. The Company files various federal and state tax returns, including some returns that are consolidated with subsidiaries. The Company accounts for the current and deferred tax effects of such returns using the asset and liability method. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the Company's current and deferred tax assets and liabilities, which reflect management's best assessment of the estimated future taxes it will pay. These estimates are updated throughout the year to consider income tax return filings, its geographic mix of earnings, legislative changes and other relevant items. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts applicable for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets represent items to be realized as a tax deduction or credit in future tax returns. Realization of the deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in either the carryback or carryforward period. Each quarter the Company analyzes the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is recorded if, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized (see Note 13). On an annual basis, the Company performs a comprehensive analysis of all forms of positive and negative evidence based on year end results. During each interim period, the Company updates its annual analysis for significant changes in the positive and negative evidence. If the Company later determines that realization is more likely than not for deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance, the related valuation allowance will be reduced. Conversely, if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize a portion of its deferred tax assets, the Company will increase the valuation allowance. The Company recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in its judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based upon the technical merits of the position. For a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company initially and subsequently measures the income tax benefit as the largest amount that it judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. The liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The Company's income tax provision includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has filed federal and state income tax returns that remain open to examination for fiscal years 2020 through 2022, while its subsidiaries, Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC and Malibu Boats Pty Ltd., remain open to examination for years 2019 through 2022. The Company considers an issue to be resolved at the earlier of the issue being “effectively settled,” settlement of an examination, or the expiration of the statute of limitations. Upon resolution, unrecognized tax benefits will be reversed as a discrete event. The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits is generally presented as noncurrent. However, if it anticipates paying cash within one year to settle an uncertain tax position, the liability is presented as current. The Company classifies interest and penalties recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied; this occurs when control of promised goods (boats, parts, or other) is transferred to the customer, which is upon shipment. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company generally manufactures products based on specific orders from dealers and often ships completed products only after receiving credit approval from financial institutions. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue it recognizes varies with changes in marketing incentives and rebates it offers to its dealers and their customers. Dealers generally have no rights to return unsold boats. From time to time, however, the Company may accept returns in limited circumstances and at the Company’s discretion under its warranty policy, which generally limits returns to instances of manufacturing defects. The Company may be obligated, in the event of default by a dealer, to accept returns of unsold boats 67 Table of Contents under its repurchase commitment to floor financing providers, who are able to obtain such boats through foreclosure. The Company accrues returns when a repurchase and return, due to the default of one of its dealers, is determined to be probable and the amount of the return is reasonably estimable. Historically, product returns, resulting from repurchases made under the floorplan financing program, have not been material and the returned boats have been subsequently resold above their cost. Refer to Note 9 and Note 17 related to the Company’s product warranty and repurchase commitment obligations, respectively. Revenue associated with sales of materials, parts, boats or engine products sold under the Company’s exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreement with its Australian subsidiary are eliminated in consolidation. The Company earns royalties on boats shipped with the Company's proprietary wake surfing technology under licensing agreements with various marine manufacturers. Royalty income is recognized when products are used or sold with the Company's patented technology by other boat manufacturers and industry suppliers. The usage of the Company's technology satisfies the performance obligation in the contract. See Note 2 for more information. Delivery Costs Shipping and freight costs are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses are included in selling and marketing expenses and were not material for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022, and 2021. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial instruments for which the Company did not elect the fair value option include accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, credit facilities, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values as a result of their short-term nature or variable interest rates. Fair Value Measurements The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities, and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In addition to the financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with applicable GAAP. This includes items such as nonfinancial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods) and nonfinancial long-lived asset groups measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. In general, non-financial assets including goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when any impairment is recognized. Equity-Based Compensation The Company expenses employee share-based awards under ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation , which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of share-based awards to be recognized over the requisite service period. Stock options granted to executives January 14, 2019 were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock awards granted on November 3, 2022, November 3, 2021 and November 3, 2020 based on total shareholder return were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of restricted stock unit awards granted under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan") are measured based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. See Note 15 for more information. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency for the Company's consolidated foreign subsidiary is the applicable local currency. The assets and liabilities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the applicable reporting date, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the applicable 68 Table of Contents period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating the foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are reflected as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax," in the stockholders' equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and periodic changes are included in comprehensive income. Comprehensive Income Components of comprehensive income include net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company has chosen to disclose comprehensive income in a single continuous consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , and in November 2018 issued a subsequent amendment, ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2018-19 will affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope of this amendment that have the contractual right to receive cash. On July 1, 2020, the Company adopted this standard and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The elective amendments provide expedients to contract modification, affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The expedients and exceptions provided by this guidance apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. Per ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 , this guidance is not applicable to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2024. The guidance can be applied immediately through December 31, 2024. The Company will adopt this standard when LIBOR is discontinued and does not expect a material impact to its financial condition, results of operations or disclosures based on the current debt portfolio and capital structure. There are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 69 Table of Contents 2.

Boat and trailer sales also includes optional boat features. Sales returns consist of boats returned by dealers under the Company's warranty program. Rebates, free flooring and discounts are incentives that the Company provides to its dealers based on sales of eligible products. 70 Table of Contents Part and Other Sales Consists primarily of parts and accessories sales, royalty income and clothing sales. Parts and accessories sales include replacement and aftermarket boat parts and accessories sold to the Company's dealer network. Royalty income is earned from license agreements with various boat manufacturers, including Nautique, Chaparral, Mastercraft, and Tige related to the use of the Company's intellectual property. 3. Non-controlling Interest The non-controlling interest on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Company's subsidiary, the LLC, held by the non-controlling LLC Unit holders. Non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheets represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling LLC Unit holders, based on the portion of the LLC Units owned by such Unit holders. The ownership of the LLC is summarized as follows: As of June 30, 2023 As of June 30, 2022 Units Ownership % Units Ownership % Non-controlling LLC unit holders ownership in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC 455,919 2.2 % 600,919 2.8 % Malibu Boats, Inc. ownership in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC 20,603,822 97.8 % 20,501,081 97.2 % 21,059,741 100.0 % 21,102,000 100.0 % Balance of non-controlling interest as of June 30, 2021 $ 7,726 Allocation of income to non-controlling LLC Unit holders for period 5,798 Distributions paid and payable to non-controlling LLC Unit holders for period ( 3,076 ) Reallocation of non-controlling interest ( 54 ) Balance of non-controlling interest as of June 30, 2022 10,394 Allocation of income to non-controlling LLC Unit holders for period 3,397 Distributions paid and payable to non-controlling LLC Unit holders for period ( 3,131 ) Reallocation of non-controlling interest ( 2,789 ) Balance of non-controlling interest as of June 30, 2023 $ 7,871 Issuance of Additional LLC Units Under the first amended and restated limited liability company agreement of the LLC, as amended (the “LLC Agreement”), the Company is required to cause the LLC to issue additional LLC Units to the Company when the Company issues additional shares of Class A Common Stock. Other than in connection with the issuance of Class A Common Stock in connection with an equity incentive program, the Company must contribute to the LLC net proceeds and property, if any, received by the Company with respect to the issuance of such additional shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company must cause the LLC to issue a number of LLC Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued such that, at all times, the number of LLC Units held by the Company equals the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Company caused the LLC to issue a total of 346,370 LLC Units to the Company in connection with (i) the Company's issuance of Class A Common Stock to a non-employee director for her services, (ii) the issuance of Class A Common Stock for the vesting of awards granted under the Malibu Boats, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") and (iii) the issuance of restricted Class A Common Stock granted under the Incentive Plan, (iv) the issuance of Class A Common Stock to LLC Unit holders in exchange of their LLC Units and (v) the issuance of Class A Common Stock for the exercise of options granted under the Incentive Plan. During fiscal year 2023, 38,598 LLC Units were canceled in connection with the vesting of share-based equity awards to satisfy employee tax withholding requirements, 3,406 LLC Units were canceled in connection with the vesting of stock awards with a market condition that were deemed to not be achieved and 57,866 LLC Units were canceled in connection with the forfeiture of stock awards. In connection with the cancellation of LLC units described above, an equivalent 99,870 treasury shares were retired in accordance with the LLC Agreement. Also during fiscal year 2023, 143,759 LLC Units were redeemed and canceled by the LLC in connection with the purchase and retirement of 143,759 treasury shares under the Company's stock repurchase program. 71 Table of Contents Distributions and Other Payments to Non-controlling Unit Holders Distributions for Taxes As a limited liability company (treated as a partnership for income tax purposes), the LLC does not incur significant federal, state or local income taxes, as these taxes are primarily the obligations of its members. As authorized by the LLC Agreement, the LLC is required to distribute cash, to the extent that the LLC has cash available, on a pro rata basis, to its members to the extent necessary to cover the members’ tax liabilities, if any, with respect to their share of LLC earnings. The LLC makes such tax distributions to its members based on an estimated tax rate and projections of taxable income. If the actual taxable income of the LLC multiplied by the estimated tax rate exceeds the tax distributions made in a calendar year, the LLC may make true-up distributions to its members, if cash or borrowings are available for such purposes. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, tax distributions payable to non-controlling LLC Unit holders were $ 776 and $ 1,045 , respectively. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022, and 2021, tax distributions paid to the non-controlling LLC Unit holders were $ 3,401 , $ 2,717 , and $ 1,758 , respectively. Other Distributions Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the Company has the right to determine when distributions will be made to LLC members and the amount of any such distributions. If the Company authorizes a distribution, such distribution will be made to the members of the LLC (including the Company) pro rata in accordance with the percentages of their respective LLC Units. 4. Acquisitions Acquisition of Certain Assets of AmTech, LLC and BTR, LLC On February 1, 2022, Malibu Electronics, LLC, a newly-formed, wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of Boats LLC, entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire certain assets of AmTech, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company, and real property of BTR, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company. Boats LLC acquired the assets related to the manufacturing and distribution of wiring harnesses that had previously been sold by Amtech, LLC to Boats LLC and its subsidiaries. The acquisition continues the vertical integration strategy of the Company by acquiring its primary supplier of wiring harnesses for Malibu and Axis boats. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations . Maverick Boat Group On December 31, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of all the outstanding stock of Maverick Boat Group. The aggregate purchase price for the transaction was $ 150,675 , funded with cash and borrowings under the Company's credit facilities. The aggregate purchase price was subject to certain adjustments, including customary adjustments for the amount of cash, indebtedness and working capital in the business at the closing date and subject to adjustment for certain capital expenditures made by Maverick Boat Group prior to closing at the Company’s request. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations . The total consideration given to the stockholders of Maverick Boat Group has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The measurements of fair value were determined based upon estimates utilizing the assistance of third party valuation specialists. 72 Table of Contents The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date: Consideration: Cash consideration paid $ 150,675 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and (liabilities assumed), at fair value: Cash $ 248 Accounts receivable 3,204 Inventories 7,756 Other current assets 194 Property, plant and equipment 22,618 Identifiable intangible assets 102,600 Other assets 4,410 Current liabilities ( 6,611 ) Deferred tax liabilities ( 28,528 ) Other liabilities ( 4,405 ) Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed 101,486 Goodwill 49,189 Total purchase price $ 150,675 The fair value estimates for the Company's identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition are as follows: Estimates of Fair Value Estimated Useful Life (in years) Definite-lived intangibles: Dealer relationships $ 47,900 20 Total definite-lived intangibles 47,900 Indefinite-lived intangible: Trade name 54,700 Total other intangible assets $ 102,600 The value allocated to inventories reflects the estimated fair value of the acquired inventory based on the expected sales price of the inventory, less an estimated cost to complete and a reasonable profit margin. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets were determined based on the following approaches: Dealer Relationships - The value associated with Maverick Boat Group's dealer relationships is attributed to its long standing dealer distribution network. The estimate of fair value assigned to this asset was determined using the income approach, which requires an estimate or forecast of the expected future cash flows from the dealer relationships through the application of the multi-period excess earnings approach. The estimated remaining useful life of dealer relationships is approximately 17.5 years. Trade Name - The value attributed to Maverick Boat Group's trade names was determined using a variation of the income approach called the relief from royalty method, which requires an estimate or forecast of the expected future cash flows. The trade name has an indefinite life. The fair value of the definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method to amortization expenses over their estimated useful lives. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other . The weighted average useful life of identifiable definite-lived intangible assets acquired was 20 years. Goodwill of $ 49,189 arising from the acquisition consists of expected synergies and cost savings as well as intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. 73 Table of Contents Acquisition-related costs of $ 2,648 , w hich were incurred by the Company in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 related to the Maverick Boat Group acquisition, were expensed in the period incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited): The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, assumes that the acquisition of Maverick Boat Group occurred as of July 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma financial information combines historical results of Malibu and Maverick Boat Group, with adjustments for interest on debt financing, depreciation and amortization attributable to fair value estimates on acquired tangible and intangible assets for the respective periods. Non-recurring pro forma adjustments associated with the fair value step up of inventory were included in the reported pro forma cost of sales and earnings. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 or the results that may occur in the future: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2021 Net sales $ 1,388,365 $ 1,214,877 $ 982,535 Net income 107,910 163,430 116,598 Net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. 104,513 157,632 112,104 Basic earnings per share $ 5.10 $ 7.60 $ 5.40 Diluted earnings per share $ 5.06 $ 7.51 $ 5.34 5. Inventories, net Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on the first in, first out (“FIFO”) basis. Manufacturing cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Unallocated overhead and abnormal costs are expensed as incurred. Inventories consisted of the following: As of June 30, 2023 2022 Raw materials $ 142,948 $ 129,233 Work in progress 19,222 20,929 Finished goods 9,019 6,840 Total inventories $ 171,189 $ 157,002 6. Property, Plant, and Equipment, net Property, plant, and equipment acquired outside of acquisition are stated at cost. When property, plant, and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is accounted for in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Major additions are capitalized; maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged to operating expenses as incurred if they do not increase the life or productivity of the related capitalized asset. Depreciation on leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life and depreciation of equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows: Years Building 20 Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or lease term Machinery and equipment 3 - 5 Furniture and fixtures 3 - 5 The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment . In accordance with ASC Topic 360, long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews for 74 Table of Contents indicators and, if indicators are present, tests the carrying value of long-lived assets, assessing their net realizable values based on estimated undiscounted cash flows over their remaining estimated useful lives. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, based on discounted cash flows. No impairment charges were recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021 in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

For more information, refer to Note 17 of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. 76 Table of Contents 9. Product Warranties The Company's Malibu and Axis brand boats have a limited warranty for a period up to five years . The Company's Cobalt brand boats have (1) a structural warranty of up to ten years which covers the hull, deck joints, bulkheads, floor, transom, stringers, and motor mount, and (2) a five year bow-to-stern warranty on all components manufactured or purchased (excluding hull and deck structural components), including canvas and upholstery. Gelcoat is covered up to three years for Cobalt and one year for Malibu and Axis. Pursuit brand boats have (1) a limited warranty for a period of up to five years on structural components such as the hull, deck and defects in the gelcoat surface of the hull bottom and (2) a bow-to-stern warranty of two years (excluding hull and deck structural components). Maverick, Pathfinder and Hewes brand boats have (1) a limited warranty for a period of up to five years on structural components such as the hull, deck and defects in the gelcoat surface of the hull bottom and (2) a bow-to-stern warranty of one year (excluding hull and deck structural components). Cobia brand boats have (1) a limited warranty for a period of up to ten years on structural components such as the hull, deck and defects in the gelcoat surface of the hull bottom and (2) a bow-to-stern warranty of three years (excluding hull and deck structural components). For each boat brand, there are certain materials, components or parts of the boat that are not covered by the Company's warranty and certain components or parts that are separately warranted by the manufacturer or supplier (such as the engine). Engines that the Company manufactures for Malibu and Axis models have a limited warranty of up to five years or five-hundred hours. The Company’s standard warranties require it or its dealers to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the consumer. The Company estimates warranty costs it expects to incur and records a liability for such costs at the time the product revenue is recognized. The Company utilizes historical claims trends and analytical tools to develop the estimate of its warranty obligation on a per boat basis, by brand and warranty year. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Beginning in model year 2016, the Company increased the term of its limited warranty for Malibu brand boats from three years to five years and for Axis brand boats from two years to five years . Beginning in model year 2018, the Company increased the term of its bow-to-stern warranty for Cobalt brand boats from three years to five years . Accordingly, the Company has less historical claims experience for warranty years four and five , and as such, these estimates give rise to a higher level of estimation uncertainty. Future warranty claims may differ from the Company's estimate of the warranty liability, which could lead to changes in the Company’s warranty liability in future periods. Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability, which are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2021 Beginning balance $ 38,673 $ 35,035 $ 27,500 Add: Warranty Expense 24,812 21,280 21,973 Additions for Maverick Boat Group acquisition — — 883 Less: Warranty claims paid ( 21,776 ) ( 17,642 ) ( 15,321 ) Ending balance $ 41,709 $ 38,673 $ 35,035 10. Financing Outstanding debt consisted of the following: As of June 30, 2023 2022 Term loan $ — $ 23,125 Revolving credit loan — 97,000 Less unamortized debt issuance costs — ( 508 ) Total debt — 119,617 Less current maturities — 1,563 Long term debt less current maturities $ — $ 118,054 Long-Term Debt As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a revolving credit facility with borrowing capacity of up to $ 350,000 . As of 77 Table of Contents June 30, 2023, the Company had $ 0 outstanding under its revolving credit facility and $ 1,578 in outstanding letters of credit with $ 348,422 available for borrowing. The revolving credit facility matures on July 8, 2027. As of June 30, 2023, the Company reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs into Other assets. On July 8, 2022, Boats LLC entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that amended and restated its second amended and restated credit agreement dated as of June 28, 2017. The Credit Agreement increased the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility from $ 170,000 to $ 350,000 . 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 $ 200,000 , subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and only if existing or new lenders choose to provide additional term or revolving commitments. The obligations of Boats LLC under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the LLC, and, subject to certain exceptions, the present and future domestic subsidiaries of Boats LLC, and all such obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of the LLC, Boats LLC and such subsidiary guarantors. Malibu Boats, Inc. is not a party to the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either, at the Company's option, (i) the highest of the prime rate, the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.5 %, or one-month Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1 % (the “Base Rate”) or (ii) SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), 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. As of June 30, 2023, the interest rate on the Company’s term loans and revolving credit facility was 6.56 % . The Company is required to pay a commitment fee for any 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 certain customary 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. For example, the Credit Agreement generally prohibits the LLC, Boats LLC and the subsidiary guarantors from paying dividends or making distributions, including to the Company. The credit facility permits, however, (i) distributions based on a member’s allocated taxable income, (ii) distributions to fund payments that are required under the LLC’s tax receivable agreement, (iii) purchase of stock or stock options of the LLC from former officers, directors or employees of loan parties or payments pursuant to stock option and other benefit plans up to $ 5,000 in any fiscal year, and (iv) repurchases of the Company's outstanding stock and LLC Units. In addition, the LLC may make unlimited dividends and distributions if its consolidated leverage ratio is 2.75 or less and certain other conditions are met, subject to compliance with certain financial covenants. 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. Covenant Compliance As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. 11. Leases The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, land, and equipment. The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains an embedded lease at the inception of the agreement. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead accounts for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. The Company's lease liabilities do not include future lease payments related to options to extend or terminate lease agreements as it is not reasonably certain those options will be exercised. Other information concerning the Company's operating leases accounted for under ASC Topic 842, Leases is as follows: 78 Table of Contents As of June 30, Classification 2023 2022 Assets Right-of-use assets Other assets $ 8,808 $ 10,659 Liabilities Current operating lease liabilities Accrued expenses $ 2,324 $ 2,121 Long-term operating lease liabilities Other liabilities 7,843 10,062 Total lease liabilities $ 10,167 $ 12,183 Fiscal Year Ended June 30, Classification 2023 2022 2021 Operating lease costs (1) Cost of sales $ 2,686 $ 2,611 $ 2,170 Selling and marketing, and general and administrative 878 857 854 Sublease income Other expense (income), net ( 38 ) ( 38 ) ( 38 ) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities Cash flows from operating activities 2,555 2,517 2,617 (1) Includes short-term leases, which are insignificant, and are not included in the lease liability. The lease liability for operating leases that contain variable escalating rental payments with scheduled increases that are based on the lesser of a stated percentage increase or the cumulative increase in an index, are determined using the stated percentage increase. The weighted average remaining lease term for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 4.60 years and 5.53 years, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted average discount rate determined based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate is 3.67 % and 3.63 %, respectively. Future annual minimum lease payments for the following fiscal years as of June 30, 2023 are as follows: Amount 2024 $ 2,649 2025 2,347 2026 2,255 2027 2,255 2028 1,504 2029 and thereafter — Total 11,010 Less imputed interest ( 843 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 10,167 12. Tax Receivable Agreement Liability The Company has a Tax Receivable Agreement with the pre-IPO owners of the LLC that provides for the payment by the Company to the pre-IPO owners (or their permitted assignees) of 85 % of the amount of the benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to the Company entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including those attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These 79 Table of Contents contractual payment obligations are obligations of the Company and not of the LLC. The Company's Tax Receivable Agreement liability was determined on an undiscounted basis in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies , since the contractual payment obligations were deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefit deemed realized by the Company is computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the Company (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that the Company would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of the LLC as a result of the purchases or exchanges, and had the Company not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The following table reflects the changes to the Company's Tax Receivable Agreement liability: As of June 30, 2023 2022 Beginning balance $ 45,541 $ 48,214 Additions (reductions) to tax receivable agreement: Exchange of LLC Units for Class A Common Stock 1,710 — Adjustment for change in estimated state tax rate or benefits 188 1,025 Payment under tax receivable agreement ( 3,974 ) ( 3,698 ) 43,465 45,541 Less current portion under tax receivable agreement ( 4,111 ) ( 3,958 ) Ending balance $ 39,354 $ 41,583 The Tax Receivable Agreement further provides that, upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, the Company (or its successor) would owe to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement that would be based on certain assumptions, including a deemed exchange of LLC Units and that the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax basis and other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company also is entitled to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, which, if terminated, would obligate the Company to make early termination payments to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC. In addition, a pre-IPO owner may elect to unilaterally terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to such pre-IPO owner, which would obligate the Company to pay to such existing owner certain payments for tax benefits received through the taxable year of the election. When estimating the expected tax rate to use in order to determine the tax benefit expected to be recognized from the Company’s increased tax basis as a result of exchanges of LLC Units by the pre-IPO owners of the LLC, the Company continuously monitors changes in its overall tax posture, including changes resulting from new legislation and changes as a result of new jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded deferred tax assets of $ 118,148 and $ 115,952 , respectively, associated with basis differences in assets upon acquiring an interest in the LLC and pursuant to making an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code"), as amended. These basis differences are included in the overall partnership basis differences disclosed in Note 13. The aggregate Tax Receivable Agreement liability represents 85 % of the tax benefits that the Company expects to receive in connection with the Section 754 election. In accordance with the Tax Receivable Agreement, the next annual payment is anticipated approximately 75 days after filing the federal tax return due by April 15, 2024. 13. Income Taxes Malibu Boats, Inc. is taxed as a C corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and is therefore subject to both federal and state taxation at a corporate level. The LLC continues to operate in the United States as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Maverick Boat Group is separately subject to U.S. federal and state income tax with respect to its net taxable income. Income taxes are computed in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes , and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding income tax amounts. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities and maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent the Company determines that it will not realize 80 Table of Contents the benefit of some or all of its deferred tax assets, such deferred tax assets will be adjusted through the Company’s provision for income taxes in the period in which this determination is made. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) was signed into law. The Inflation Reduction Act contains significant business tax provisions, including an excise tax on stock buybacks (1% for transactions beginning January 1, 2023), increased funding for IRS tax enforcement, expanded energy incentives promoting clean energy investment, and a 15% corporate minimum tax on certain large corporations. The effects of the new legislation were recognized upon enactment. The Company did not recognize any significant impact to income tax expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 relating to the Inflation Reduction Act. The components of provision for income taxes are as follows: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2021 Current tax expense: Federal $ 39,462 $ 33,689 $ 21,737 State 9,071 6,632 4,014 Foreign 1,331 1,532 1,284 Total current 49,864 41,853 27,035 Deferred tax expense: Federal ( 14,230 ) 4,661 6,147 State ( 2,019 ) 94 899 Foreign ( 34 ) ( 73 ) ( 102 ) Total deferred ( 16,283 ) 4,682 6,944 Income tax expense $ 33,581 $ 46,535 $ 33,979 The income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income from continuing operations before income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2021 Federal tax provision at statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State income taxes, net of federal benefit 3.5 2.8 2.9 Permanent differences attributable to partnership investment ( 0.5 ) ( 1.0 ) ( 0.3 ) Non-controlling interest ( 0.5 ) ( 0.6 ) ( 0.7 ) Other, net 0.2 — — Total income tax expense on continuing operations 23.7 % 22.2 % 22.9 % The Company’s effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the Company’s subsidiary operated as a limited liability company which was not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the portion of the Company’s subsidiary earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest are subject to tax when reported as a component of the non-controlling interests’ taxable income. 81 Table of Contents The components of the Company's net deferred income tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: As of June 30, 2023 2022 Deferred tax assets: Partnership basis differences $ 69,193 $ 49,740 Accrued liabilities and reserves 1,436 955 State tax credits and NOLs 8,922 7,178 Foreign tax credits 580 580 Other 381 336 Less valuation allowance ( 16,876 ) ( 15,633 ) Total deferred tax assets 63,636 43,156 Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets and intangibles 29,495 27,754 Other 21 53 Total deferred tax liabilities 29,516 27,807 Total net deferred tax assets $ 34,120 $ 15,349 On an annual basis, the Company performs a comprehensive analysis of all forms of positive and negative evidence to determine whether realizability of deferred tax assets is more likely than not. During each interim period, the Company updates its annual analysis for significant changes in the positive and negative evidence. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company concluded that $ 16,876 and $ 15,633 , respectively, of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was necessary. The Company continues to record the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset generated by the state impact of the 743(b) amortization and on state net operating losses generated by current and future amortization deductions (with respect to the Section 754 election) that are reported in the Tennessee corporate tax return without offsetting income, which is taxable at the LLC. These net operating losses have a 15 year carryover and will expire, if unused, between 2030 and 2038. This also includes a valuation allowance in the amount of $ 580 related to foreign tax credit carryforward that is not expected to be utilized in the future. Unrecognized tax benefits are discussed in the Company's accounting policy for income taxes (Refer to Note 1 on Income Taxes for more information). The Company has filed federal and state income tax returns that remain open to examination for fiscal years 2020 through 2022, while its subsidiaries, the LLC and Malibu Boats Pty Ltd., remain open to examination for fiscal years 2019 through 2022. A reconciliation of changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021 is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2021 Balance as of July 1 $ 1,472 $ 1,452 $ 1,445 Additions based on tax positions taken during the current period 363 314 304 Reductions for settlements with taxing authorities — — ( 250 ) Reductions due to statute settlements ( 156 ) ( 286 ) ( 50 ) Additions (reductions) for tax positions of prior years 39 ( 8 ) 3 Balance as of June 30 $ 1,718 $ 1,472 $ 1,452 In fiscal year 2023, the Company reduced its uncertain tax positions by $ 156 as a result of statute settlements, and recorded $ 363 in connection with its current year state filing positions. As of June 30, 2023, it is reasonably possible that $ 130 of the total unrecognized tax benefits recorded will reverse within the next twelve months. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, $ 1,423 would impact the effective tax rate once settled. As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company's policy is to accrue interest related to potential underpayment of income taxes within the provision for income taxes. At June 30, 2023, the Company had $ 324 of accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits. 82 Table of Contents The Company did not provide for U.S. federal, state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes in fiscal year 2023 on the outside basis difference of its non-U.S. subsidiary, as such foreign earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. The estimated income and withholding tax liability associated with the remittance of these earnings is nominal. 14. Stockholders' Equity The Company is authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 25,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, and 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share. Exchange of LLC Units for Class A Common Stock and Issuance of Class B Common Stock During fiscal year 2021, nine non-controlling LLC Unit holders exchanged LLC Units for the issuance of Class A Common Stock. In connection with the exchange, five shares of Class B Common Stock were automatically transferred to the Company and retired. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a total of 10 shares of its Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. During fiscal year 2022, no non-controlling LLC Unit holders exchanged LLC Units for the issuance of Class A Common Stock. As there were no exchanges, no shares of Class B Common Stock were automatically transferred to the Company and retired.

Accordingly, the holders of LLC Units collectively have a number of votes that is equal to the aggregate number of LLC Units that they hold. Subject to any rights that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, the Company's Class A and Class B Common Stock vote as a single class on all matters presented to the Company's stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise provided in the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws or required by applicable law. Holders of 83 Table of Contents the Company's Class A and Class B Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Except in respect of matters relating to the election and removal of directors on the Company's board of directors and as otherwise provided in the Company's certificate of incorporation, the Company's bylaws, or as required by law, all matters to be voted on by the Company's stockholders must be approved by a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. Dividends Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock will be entitled to share equally, identically and ratably in any dividends that the board of directors may determine to issue from time to time. Holders of the Company's Class B Common Stock do not have any right to receive dividends.

The Company's board of directors may also designate the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of each such series of preferred stock, any or all of which may be greater than or senior to those granted to the holders of common stock. Though the actual effect of any such issuance on the rights of the holders of common stock will not be known until the Company's board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of preferred stock, the potential effects of such an issuance include: • diluting the voting power of the holders of common stock; • reducing the likelihood that holders of common stock will receive dividend payments; • reducing the likelihood that holders of common stock will receive payments in the event of the Company's liquidation, dissolution, or winding up; and • delaying, deterring or preventing a change-in-control or other corporate takeover. LLC Units In connection with the recapitalization the Company completed in connection with the Company's IPO, the LLC Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things; modify its capital structure by replacing the different classes of interests previously held by the LLC unit holders to a single new class of units called “LLC Units.” As a result of the Company's IPO and the recapitalization the Company completed in connection with the Company's IPO, the Company holds LLC Units in the LLC and is the sole managing member of the LLC.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 557 , $ 3,751 and $ 322 , respectively. The total intrinsic value of options outstanding and options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2023 was $ 379 , respectively.

The Company's non-employee directors receive an annual retainer for their services as directors consisting of both a cash retainer and equity awards in the form of Class A Common Stock or restricted stock units. Directors may elect that their cash annual retainer be converted into either fully vested shares of Class A Common Stock or restricted stock units paid on a deferral basis. Equity awards issued to directors are fully vested at the date of grant. Directors receiving restricted stock units as compensation for services have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights (except with respect to dividend equivalent rights), and no voting rights until Class A Common Stock is actually issued to them upon separation from service or change in control as defined in the Incentive Plan. If dividends are paid by the Company to its stockholders, directors would be entitled to receive an equal number of restricted stock units based on their proportional interest. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 2,105 shares of Class A Common Stock and 20,643 restricted stock units with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $ 52.45 to its non-employee directors for their services as directors pursuant to the Incentive Plan.

Net Earnings Per Share Basic net income per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company's earnings by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding used in computing basic net income per share includes fully vested restricted stock units awarded to directors that are entitled to participate in distributions to common shareholders through receipt of additional units of equivalent value to the dividends paid to Class A Common Stock holders. Diluted net income per share of Class A Common Stock is computed similarly to basic net income per share except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents using the treasury method, if dilutive. The Company’s LLC Units and non-qualified stock options are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose. The number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock related to these common stock equivalents and stock options are calculated using the treasury stock method. Stock awards with a performance condition that are based on the attainment of a specified amount of earnings are only included in the computation of diluted earnings per share to the extent that the performance condition would be achieved based on the current amount of earnings, and only if the effect would be dilutive. Stock awards with a market condition that are based on the performance of the Company's stock price in relation to a market index over a specified time period are only included in the computation of diluted earnings per share to the extent that the shares would be issued based on the current market price of the Company's stock in relation to the market index, and only if the effect would be dilutive. 88 Table of Contents Basic and diluted net income per share of Class A Common Stock has been computed as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts): Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2021 Basic: Net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. $ 104,513 $ 157,632 $ 109,841 Shares used in computing basic net income per share: Weighted-average Class A Common Stock 20,245,980 20,511,571 20,528,723 Weighted-average participating restricted stock units convertible into Class A Common Stock 255,864 237,666 223,929 Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 20,501,844 20,749,237 20,752,652 Basic net income per share $ 5.10 $ 7.60 $ 5.29 Diluted: Net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. $ 104,513 $ 157,632 $ 109,841 Shares used in computing diluted net income per share: Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 20,501,844 20,749,237 20,752,652 Restricted stock units granted to employees 66,954 116,874 123,179 Weighted-average stock options convertible into Class A Common Stock 12,707 47,525 76,844 Weighted-average market performance awards convertible into Class A Common Stock 59,668 72,620 58,412 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 1 20,641,173 20,986,256 21,011,087 Diluted net income per share $ 5.06 $ 7.51 $ 5.23 1 The Company excluded 516,205 , 686,178 , and 685,271 potentially dilutive shares from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, as these units would have been antidilutive. The shares of Class B Common Stock do not share in the earnings or losses of Malibu Boats, Inc. and are therefore not included in the calculation. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B Common Stock has not been presented. 17. Commitments and Contingencies Repurchase Commitments In connection with its dealers’ wholesale floor-plan financing of boats, the Company has entered into repurchase agreements with various lending institutions. The reserve methodology used to record an estimated expense and loss reserve in each accounting period is based upon an analysis of likely repurchases based on current field inventory and likelihood of repurchase. Subsequent to the inception of the repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates the likelihood of repurchase and adjusts the estimated loss reserve accordingly. When a potential loss reserve is recorded it is presented in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If the Company were obligated to repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. The total amount financed under the floor financing programs with repurchase obligations was $ 385,448 and $ 183,953 as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Repurchases and subsequent sales are recorded as a revenue transaction. The net difference between the repurchase price and the resale price is recorded against the loss reserve and presented in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For fiscal year 2023, 2022 and 2021 , the Company did no t repurchase any units under its repurchase agreements. Accordingly, the Company did not carry a reserve for repurchases as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has collateralized receivables financing arrangements with a third-party floor plan financing provider for European dealers. Under terms of these arrangements, the Company transfers the right to collect a trade receivable to the financing provider in exchange for cash but agrees to repurchase the receivable if the dealer defaults. Since the transfer of the 89 Table of Contents receivable to the financing provider does not meet the conditions for a sale under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing , the Company continues to report the transferred trade receivable in other current assets with an offsetting balance recorded as a secured obligation in accrued expenses in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 , the Company had no financing receivables recorded in other current assets and accrued expenses related to these arrangements. Roane County Property Purchase On March 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to purchase certain real property, improvements and other assets from the seller for a cash purchase price of approximately $ 33,300 . As of June 30, 2023, the Company had deposited approximately $ 7,800 in escrow pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. On July 25, 2023, the transaction closed and the Company paid the remaining $ 25,500 balance of the purchase price. The Company expects to incur additional capital expenditures of approximately $ 15,000 to make changes to the facility to meet its operational needs. Contingencies Product Liability The Company is engaged in a business that exposes it to claims for product liability and warranty claims in the event the Company’s products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected or the use of the Company’s products results, or is alleged to result, in property damage, personal injury or death. Although the Company maintains product and general liability insurance of the types and in the amounts that the Company believes are customary for the industry, the Company is not fully insured against all such potential claims. The Company may have the ability to refer claims to its suppliers and their insurers to pay the costs associated with any claims arising from the suppliers’ products. The Company’s insurance covers such claims that are not adequately covered by a supplier’s insurance and provides for excess secondary coverage above the limits provided by the Company’s suppliers. The Company may experience legal claims in excess of its insurance coverage or claims that are not covered by insurance, either of which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse determination of material product liability and warranty claims made against the Company could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and harm its reputation. In addition, if any of the Company's products are, or are alleged to be, defective, the Company may be required to participate in a recall of that product if the defect or alleged defect relates to safety. These and other claims that the Company faces could be costly to the Company and require substantial management attention. Refer to Note 9 for discussion of warranty claims. The Company insures against product liability claims and, except as disclosed below, believes there are no material product liability claims as of June 30, 2023 that will have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Litigation Certain conditions may exist which could result in a loss, but which will only be resolved when future events occur. The Company, in consultation with its legal counsel, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessments inherently involve an exercise of judgment. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a loss has been incurred, the Company accrues for such contingent loss when it can be reasonably estimated. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but reasonably estimable, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. If the assessment of a contingency deemed to be both probable and reasonably estimable involves a range of possible losses, the amount within the range that appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range would be accrued. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount in the range is accrued even though the minimum amount in the range is not necessarily the amount of loss that will be ultimately determined. Estimates of potential legal fees and other directly related costs associated with contingencies are not accrued but rather are expensed as incurred. Except as disclosed below, management does not believe there are any pending claims (asserted or unasserted) at June 30, 2023 or June 30, 2022 that will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal Proceedings Batchelder Matters MBI and its indirect subsidiary Boats LLC were defendants in the product liability case Batchelder et al. v. Malibu Boats, LLC, f/k/a Malibu Boats, Inc.; Malibu Boats West, Inc., et. al., Superior Court of Rabun County, Georgia, Civil Action Case No. 2016-CV-0114-C (the "Batchelder I Matter"), brought by, among others, Stephan Paul Batchelder and Margaret Mary Batchelder as Administrators of the Estate of Ryan Paul Batchelder, deceased (“Batchelder I Plaintiffs”). The Batchelder I 90 Table of Contents Plaintiffs also sued the manufacturer of the boat at issue in the case, Malibu Boats West, Inc. (“West”). West is not, and has never been, a subsidiary of MBI or Boats LLC but was a separate legal entity whose assets were purchased by Boats LLC in 2006. The case involved a personal injury accident in 2014 involving a 2000 model year boat that was manufactured by West. On August 28, 2021, the jury rejected the Batchelder I Plaintiffs’ design defect claims and found that the driver of the boat was 75 % at fault for the accident. Notwithstanding those findings, the jury found that Boats LLC and West negligently failed to warn of a hazard posed by the boat and that such failure was a proximate cause of the death of the decedent. The jury also found that Boats LLC is a legal successor of, and responsible for the liabilities of, West. The jury awarded compensatory damages of $ 80,000 and apportioned 15 % of such damages to Boats LLC and 10 % of such damages to West. In addition, the jury awarded $ 80,000 of punitive damages against Boats LLC and $ 40,000 of punitive damages against West. Based on the jury’s finding of successor liability, the trial court entered judgment for the full amount of the verdict against Boats LLC, with a potential maximum liability to Boats LLC of $ 140,000 , plus post-judgment interest at a rate of 6.25 % per annum. The Batchelder I Plaintiffs also filed motions, after the judgment, seeking orders requiring Boats LLC to pay pre-judgment interest and a portion of their attorney fees. The Batchelder I Plaintiffs claimed they are owed attorneys' fees of approximately $ 56,000 . The Company opposed both motions. The trial court denied the Batchelder I Plaintiffs’ motion for prejudgment interest and held that ruling on the Batchelder I Plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees would be premature, indicating that it would decide whether the Batchelder I Plaintiffs have the right to attorneys’ fees, and if so what amount is reasonable, if still necessary upon the resolution of Boats LLC’s post-trial motions and any related appeals. The Batchelder I Plaintiffs appealed the trial court’s order denying their motion for prejudgment interest. On July 17, 2022, the trial court denied Boats LLC’s post-trial motions, and Boats LLC filed a notice of appeal. Pending resolution of the appeals process, the payment of any damages was stayed. Boats LLC was also a defendant in a related product liability case, Stephan Paul Batchelder and Margaret Mary Batchelder, as Natural Guardians of Josh Patrick Batchelder, a minor; Darin Batchelder, individually, and as Natural Guardian of Zach Batchelder, a minor; and Kayla Batchelder (the “Batchelder II Plaintiffs” and, together with the Batchelder I Plaintiffs, the “Batchelder Plaintiffs”) v. Malibu Boats, LLC v. Dennis Michael Ficarra; Superior Court of Rabun County, Civil Action File No. 2022-CV-0034 (the “Batchelder II Matter” and, together with the Batchelder I Matter, the “Batchelder Matters”). The complaint was filed on February 9, 2022 as a purported renewal of earlier claims by the Batchelder II Plaintiffs that were dismissed without prejudice. The case involved claims by the Batchelder II Plaintiffs of their own alleged bodily injury and emotional distress stemming from the same accident involving the alleged swamping of the boat manufactured and sold by West that is the subject of the Batchelder I Matter. As noted above, West is not, and has never been, a subsidiary of MBI or Boats LLC but was a separate legal entity whose assets were purchased by Boats LLC in 2006. Four Batchelder II Plaintiffs sought damages for personal injury and punitive damages, alleging that the accident was caused by a design defect and a failure to warn. The Batchelder II Plaintiffs' claims were dismissed without prejudice from the Batchelder I Matter shortly before the trial for the Batchelder I Matter, however, and thus the new complaint was a renewal action of the original complaint. On June 30, 2023, Malibu Boats, Inc. and Boats LLC entered into a Confidential General Release and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Batchelder I Plaintiffs and the Batchelder II Plaintiffs in settlement of each of the Batchelder Matters. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, Malibu Boats, Inc., or Boats LLC, as the case may be, paid (or caused to be paid) to the Batchelder Plaintiffs and their agents a total of $ 100,000 , of which (a) $ 40,000 was paid to the Batchelder Plaintiffs and their agents promptly following the execution of the Settlement Agreement and (b) $ 60,000 was placed in an escrow account and held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement. All conditions for releasing the $ 60,000 placed in the escrow account have been satisfied. 18. Related Party Transactions As of June 30, 2023, there were two non-employee members of the Company's board of directors that are also original shareholders of the Company and receive an annual retainer as compensation for services rendered. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, $ 409 , $ 385 and $ 315 , respectively, was paid to these directors in both cash and equity for their services. Of the amount paid, $ 74 and $ 74 was a prepayment for services through the 2023 and 2022 annual meetings for both of the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 19.

Subsequent Event Batchelder Payments As discussed above, in connection with the settlement of the Batchelder Matters, in July 2023, Malibu Boats, Inc., or Boats LLC, as the case may be, paid (or caused to be paid) to the Batchelder Plaintiffs and their agents a total of $ 100,000 , of which (a) $ 40,000 was paid to the Batchelder Plaintiffs and their agents promptly following the execution of the Settlement Agreement and (b) $ 60,000 was placed in an escrow account and held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement. All conditions for releasing the $ 60,000 placed in the escrow account have been satisfied. Insurance Litigation Malibu Boats, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Boats LLC, maintain liability insurance applicable to the Batchelder Matters described above with coverage up to $ 26,000 . As of August 24, 2023, the Company had received approximately $ 21,000 in insurance coverage proceeds, subject in certain cases to reservations of rights by the insurance carriers. The Company contends that the insurance carriers are responsible for the entirety of the $ 100,000 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. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims against its insurers to recover the full $ 100,000 settlement amount and expenses (less any monies already tendered without reservation by the carriers). However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of such litigation. 93 Table of Contents Borrowing under Revolving Credit Facility On July 7, 2023, the Company borrowed $ 75,000 under the revolving credit facility, with $ 273,422 remaining available for borrowing. The Company utilized certain of the funds borrowed under the revolving credit facility to make payments relating to the Batchelder Matters, as described herein.
