OneWater Marine Inc. 10-Q

Item 1A. Risk Factors In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on December 3, 2020 , which could materially affect our businesses, financial condition, or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or future results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on December 3, 2020 other than as described below . The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our revenues, results of operations and financial condition. Our business could be materially adversely affected by the widespread outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has spread in many of the geographic areas in which we operate. National, state and local governments in affected regions have implemented and may continue to implement safety precautions, including shelter in place orders, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings, including boat shows, and other measures. These measures have affected our ability to sell and service boats, required us to temporarily close or partially close certain locations and may require additional closures in the future. Organizations and individuals are also taking additional steps to avoid or reduce infection, including limiting travel, staying home, working from home and limiting participation in certain leisure activities. We continue to monitor federal, state and local government recommendations and have made modifications to our normal operations as a result of COVID-19. If the negative economic effects of COVID-19 continue for a prolonged period of time, it could lead to a reduction in demand for our products, which would adversely affect our results of operations. Additionally, disruptions in the capital markets, as a result of the pandemic, may also adversely affect our ability to access capital and additional liquidity. The COVID-19 pandemic may also lead to disruptions in our supply chain, including our ability to obtain boats and parts from our suppliers, and labor shortages. To date, we have not experienced any significant shortages of inventory, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and increased sales generally across the industry, there has been industry-wide supply chain constraints. It is possible that a significant shortage could occur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on, among other things, supply chains, operations and consumer demand. These measures are disrupting normal business operations and may have, significant negative impacts on our business in the future. While we are implementing changes to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our business, it is not possible, at this time, to estimate the entirety of the effect that COVID-19 will have on our business, customers, suppliers or other business partners. While we previously announced our decision to pause our acquisition strategy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, given our financial results for the year ended September 30, 2020, we are recommencing our acquisition strategy and opportunistically evaluating future acquisitions. See “Risk Factors—Our success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to make successful acquisitions at attractive or fair prices and to integrate the operations of acquired dealer groups and each dealer group we acquire in the future.” Our failure to successfully order and manage our inventory to reflect consumer demand and to anticipate changing consumer preferences and buying trends, or the lack of inventory generally in the industry, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our success depends upon our ability to procure sufficient inventory for our needs and to successfully manage our inventory and to anticipate and respond to product trends and consumer demands in a timely manner. Our products appeal to consumers across a number of states who are, or could become, boat owners. The preferences of these consumers cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to change. Further, the retail consumer industry, by its nature, is volatile and sensitive to numerous economic factors, including consumer preferences, competition, market conditions, general economic conditions and other factors outside of our control. For example, the recent increase in demand for marine retail products has led to industry-wide supply chain constraints. It is possible that a significant shortage could occur. We cannot predict consumer preferences with certainty, and consumer preferences often change over time. We typically order product several months in advance, although such orders are not binding until the merchandise is delivered to our stores. The extended lead times for many of our purchases may make it difficult for us to respond rapidly to new or changing product trends, increases or decreases in consumer demand or changes in prices. If we misjudge either the market for our products or our consumers’ purchasing habits in the future, our revenues may decline significantly and we may not have sufficient quantities of product to satisfy consumer demand or sales orders or we may be required to discount excess inventory, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds None. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not Applicable.
