We sell our boats through a dealer network that we believe is the strongest in the recreational powerboat category.

As of June 30, 2024, our worldwide distribution channel consisted of over 400 dealer locations globally.

We sell our boats through a dealer network that we believe is among the strongest in the recreational powerboat industry.

As of June 30, 2025, our distribution channel consisted of over 325 dealer locations globally.

Our dealer base is an important part of our consumers’ experience, our marketing efforts and our brands.

We devote significant time and resources to find, develop and improve the performance of our dealers and believe our dealer network gives us a distinct competitive advantage.

We had one dealer that represented more than 10% of our consolidated net sales in fiscal year 2024, OneWater Marine, Inc.

In fiscal year 2023, we had two dealers that represented more than 10% of our consolidated net sales, OneWater Marine, Inc.

and Tommy's Boats.

During fiscal year 2024, we informed Tommy's Boats that we would not be renewing any of their agreements that had expired as of June 30, 2023 and we terminated two Agreements in Texas that had not expired.

Tommy's subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection and is in the process of liquidating its inventory.

We have since entered into dealer agreements with dealers in 14 of the 15 markets previously served by Tommy's Boats.

As of August 29, 2024, we believe fewer than 280 of our new model year 2023 and 2024 boats were remaining in the inventory of Tommy's Boats.

During the period between July 1, 2024 and August 29, 2024, we repurchased 19 of those boats that were subject to our repurchase agreement with M&T Bank, the floor plan financing lender for Tommy's Boats.

With respect to boats not subject to the repurchase agreement, the bankruptcy trustee has retained Gordon Brothers to sell remaining inventory as part of liquidation that are currently ongoing.

We have been in discussions with the trustee regarding the inventory being liquidated.

We achieved fiscal year 2024 net sales, net (loss) income and adjusted EBITDA of $829.0 million, $(56.4) million and $82.2 million, respectively, compared to $1,388.4 million, $107.9 million and $284.0 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2023.

For the definition of adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net (loss) income, see “GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, domestic retail demand for recreational powerboats increased to the highest levels seen by the industry in decades as consumers turned to boating as a form of outdoor, socially-distanced, recreation.

The combination of strong retail market activity in calendar years 2020 and 2021 along with supply chain disruptions in calendar year 2021 that continued through calendar year 2022 depleted inventory levels at our dealers in calendar year 2022 below pre-COVID levels

Current inventory levels are now above pre-pandemic levels across all of our segments as retail activity has slowed at a more rapid pace than wholesale shipments.

Because channel inventory is above normalized levels, we expect wholesale demand will be below the underlying retail activity for our products into fiscal year 2025.

We experienced a progressive decline in retail demand during fiscal year 2024, in particular in entry level and lower priced boats.

We expect that this softening in retail demand will continue into fiscal year 2025.

In response, we have reduced our wholesale production.

We had one dealer that represented more than 10% of our consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, OneWater Marine, Inc.

We achieved fiscal year 2025 net sales, net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA of $807.6 million, $15.2 million and $74.8 million, respectively, compared to $829.0 million, $(56.4) million and $82.2 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2024.

For the definition of adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income (loss), see “GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The recreational power boat industry continues to be challenged by macro-economic factors, including inflation and high interest rates, that have increased the cost of production and taken many interest rate sensitive buyers out of the market.

In recent months, additional tariffs have also been introduced or proposed, as discussed below, and we are monitoring the impact they may have on cost of production, pricing and demand.

Simultaneously, less price sensitive buyers have been purchasing larger, more feature-rich boats with higher average selling prices.

Due to high dealer flooring costs and a continued soft retail environment, we expect our dealers to reduce their inventories further in fiscal 2026.

Additionally, we expect the retail market to continue to decline in fiscal 2026 due to continued macroeconomic uncertainty.

We aim to increase our market share across the boating categories in which we compete through new product development, improved distribution, new models, and innovative features.

Our industry, however, is highly competitive, and our competitors have become more aggressive in their product introductions, expanded their distribution capabilities, and launched surf systems competitive with our patented Surf Gate system.

We believe our strong brands, new product pipeline, strong dealer network and ability to increase production will allow us to maintain, and potentially expand, our leading market position in performance sports boats.

We also believe that our track record of expanding our market share with our Malibu and Axis brands is directly transferable to our Cobalt, Pursuit and Maverick Boat Group brands.

As discussed above, our financial results and operations have been, and could continue to be, impacted by events outside of our control, including inflationary pressures, rising prices for our suppliers and labor shortages.

Numerous other variables also have the potential to impact our volumes, both positively and negatively.

For instance, elevated interest rates, which we are currently experiencing and expect to continue to experience in the near term, has reduced retail consumer appetite for our product and reduced the appetite for credit for our dealers and retail consumers.

We believe our strong brands, new product pipeline, strong dealer network and ability to increase production will allow us to maintain, and potentially expand, our leading market positions.

Our financial results and operations have been, and will continue to be, impacted by events outside of our control, including trade policies and tariffs, inflationary pressures, interest rates, material shortages, weather events and global economic uncertainty.

The current international trade and regulatory environment is subject to significant ongoing uncertainty.

presidential administration has recently announced substantial new tariffs affecting a wide range of products and jurisdictions and has indicated an intention to continue negotiating trade policies.

In response, some countries have implemented, and other countries may implement, countermeasures in response to U.S.

We estimate that 18-20% of our cost of sales are sourced from outside the United States and thus we have the potential to be materially impacted by tariffs in future periods.

We are continuing to monitor the potential long-term impact of tariffs and are taking a proactive approach to mitigating material supply chain risks.

We expect additional material costs to be incurred in fiscal year 2026 due to new tariff exposure of approximately 1.5% to 3% of Cost of Sales, assuming current tariff rates.

We expect to largely offset these added costs via price increases.

In the near term, we expect to continue to experience reduced retail consumer demand for our product and on-going pressure from dealers to reduce dealer inventories.

However, we will maintain our disciplined approach to dealer health and leverage our cash generation to continue investing in the business.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our product sales are impacted by general economic conditions, which affect the demand for our products, the demand for optional features, the availability of credit for our dealers and retail consumers, and overall consumer confidence.

Consumer spending, especially purchases of discretionary items, tends to decline during recessionary periods and tends to increase during expansionary periods.

While there is still some uncertainty surrounding current macroeconomic conditions, and rising prices to our suppliers, in part due to inflationary pressures, we believe we are well positioned strategically in the recreational powerboat market with brands that are among the market leaders in their segments.

Efforts to stop or limit inflation are resulting in higher interest rates that translate into an increased cost of boat ownership.

We have seen increased interest rates for our customers throughout calendar year 2023 and calendar year 2024.

Should inflation and increased interest rates continue at elevated rates, we may experience less retail demand because prospective consumers may choose to forgo or delay their purchases or buy a less expensive or used boat.

Historically, we have not entered into long-term agreements with suppliers of our raw materials and components other than for our engines and outboard motors.

Any number of factors, including labor disruptions, weather events, the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness, contractual or other disputes, unfavorable economic or industry conditions, delivery delays or other performance problems or financial difficulties or solvency problems, could disrupt our suppliers’ operations and lead to uncertainty in our supply chain or cause supply disruptions for us, which could, in turn, disrupt our operations.

Any material disruption of our production schedule caused by an unexpected shortage of components, raw materials or parts could cause us not to be able to meet customer demand, to alter production schedules or suspend production entirely, which could cause a loss of revenues, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management as well as by investors, commercial bankers, industry analysts and other users of our financial statements.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash, non-recurring or non-operating expenses, including goodwill and other intangible asset impairment expense, abandonment of construction in process, litigation settlements, certain professional fees, non-cash compensation expense and adjustments to our tax receivable agreement liability.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA to assist in highlighting trends in our operating results without regard to our financing methods, capital structure and non-recurring or non-operating expenses.

We exclude the items listed above from net (loss) income in arriving at adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, the methods by which assets were acquired and other factors.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity.

Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income

We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income as net (loss) income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc.

(i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, (iii) assuming the exchange of all LLC Units into shares of Class A Common Stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in the LLC, and (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax (benefit) expense on fully distributed net (loss) income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate.

Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income is a non-GAAP financial measure because it represents net (loss) income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc., before non-recurring or non-cash items and the effects of non-controlling interests in the LLC.

We use Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.

We believe Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income assists our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net (loss) income on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes non-cash or non-recurring items, and eliminates the variability of non-controlling interest as a result of member owner exchanges of LLC Units into shares of Class A Common Stock.

In addition, because Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income is susceptible to varying calculations, the Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income measures, as presented in this Annual Report, may differ from and may, therefore, not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table shows the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for net (loss) income available to Class A Common Stock per share to Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income per Share of Class A Common Stock for the periods presented (in thousands except share and per share data):

(7) We calculate net income (loss) margin as net income (loss) divided by net sales and we define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

Adjusted Net Income Per Share

Adjusted net income per share is a newly disclosed non-GAAP financial measure in fiscal 2025.

Going forward, we will be disclosing adjusted net income instead of adjusted fully distributed net income (loss).

Adjusted net income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used and disclosed by management in order to give management and its investors and analysts a more accurate picture of our underlying earnings performance.

Adjusted net income per share, similar to adjusted fully distributed net income (loss), excludes items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

However, unlike adjusted fully distributed net income (loss), adjusted net income does not assume the exchange of all LLC Units into shares of Class A Common stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interests in the LLC.

When we completed our IPO in 2014, Malibu Boats, Inc.

held approximately 49.3% of the economic interest in the LLC, which has since increased to approximately 98.6% of the economic interest in the LLC as of June 30, 2025.

As a result, the weighted average non-controlling interest attributable to ownership interests in the LLC not directly attributable to us was only 1.6% for fiscal year 2025.

We believe adjusted fully distributed net income per share is not as meaningful now as it was in the immediate years following our IPO because the amount recorded as non-controlling interest has a much less significant impact to our earnings performance.

We define adjusted net income per share as net income (loss) attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc.

per share, excluding income tax expense (benefit), before goodwill and other intangible asset impairment expense and non-cash, non-operating expenses, or other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses, including abandonment of construction in process, litigation settlements, acquisition related amortization, certain professional fees and non-cash compensation expense, and reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on adjusted income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate.

We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) per share in arriving at adjusted net income per share because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, the methods by which assets were acquired and other factors.

Adjusted net income per share has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) per share as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity.

Certain items excluded are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance.

Our presentation of adjusted net income per share should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Our computation of this measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

5 unchanged sentences

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

During fiscal year 2024, we had a one-time payment of $100.0 million with respect to a settlement agreement entered in connection with the settlement of all Batchelder-related product liability matters and we purchased our new Roane County, Tennessee facility for a cash purchase price of approximately $33.3 million.

For the litigation settlement, we borrowed $75.0 million under the revolving credit facility to fund a portion of that payment.

We also maintain liability insurance applicable to the Batchelder Matters with coverage up to $26.0 million.

As of August 26, 2024, we had received approximately $21.0 million in insurance coverage proceeds, subject in certain cases to reservation of rights by the insurance carriers.

We contend that the insurance carriers are responsible for the entirety of the $100.0 million settlement amount and related expenses, and therefore the insurers’ payments to date are well below what they should have tendered to Boats LLC.

Accordingly, on July 3, 2023, Boats LLC filed a complaint against Federal Insurance Company and Starr Indemnity & Liability Company alleging that the insurers unreasonably failed to comply with their obligations by refusing, negligently and in bad faith, to settle covered claims within their available policy limits prior to trial.

We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against our insurers to recover the full $100.0 million settlement amount and expenses (less any monies already tendered without reservation by the carriers).

However, we cannot predict the outcome of such litigation.

Capital Expenditures.

For fiscal year 2024, we incurred approximately $76.0 million in capital expenditures primarily related to the completion of our Roane County, Tennessee facility as well as new models, capacity enhancements and vertical integration initiatives.
