Comparison of the Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2025 to the Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $48.3 million, or 30.4%, to $207.0 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by increased unit volumes in the Malibu segment, a favorable model mix across all segments, decreased promotional costs across all segments, and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by decreased unit volumes in the Cobalt and Saltwater Fishing segments and an unfavorable segment mix. Unit volume for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 176 units, or 16.8%, to 1,221 units compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our unit volume increased primarily due to higher wholesale shipments in the Malibu segment, partially offset by lower volumes in the Cobalt and Saltwater Fishing segments due to our dealers' desire to hold less inventory.

Net sales attributable to our Malibu segment increased $42.8 million, or 114.0%, to $80.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Unit volumes attributable to our Malibu segment increased 251 units, or 78.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as a result of elevated dealer inventory levels. The increase in net sales was driven by an increase in units, a favorable model mix, decreased promotional costs and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Net sales attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment increased $1.9 million, or 2.7%, to $72.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Unit volumes decreased 33 units, or 9.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory. The increase in net sales was driven by a favorable model mix, decreased promotional costs and inflation-driven-year-over-year price increases and partially offset by a decrease in units.

Net sales attributable to our Cobalt segment increased $3.6 million, or 7.2%, to $53.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Unit volumes attributable to Cobalt decreased 42 units, or 11.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by a favorable model mix, decreased promotional costs and inflation-driven-year-over-year price increases and partially offset by a decrease in units.

Overall consolidated net sales per unit increased 11.6% to $169,565 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment increased 19.8% to $140,951 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by favorable model mix, decreased promotional costs and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 13.2% to $225,582 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by favorable model mix, decreased promotional costs and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Net sales per unit for our Cobalt segment increased 21.0% to $164,128 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by favorable model mix, decreased promotional costs and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $28.1 million, or 19.2%, to $174.3 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by a 16.8% increase in volumes and continuing inflationary pressure on costs. In the Malibu segment, per unit material and labor costs decreased $5.1 million driven by an increase in volume. In the Saltwater Fishing segment, per unit material costs increased $2.8 million due to inflationary pressures and an increased mix of larger models that corresponded with higher net sales per unit, partially offset by a decrease in per unit labor costs of $0.2 million. In the Cobalt segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $6.1 million driven by fixed-cost deleveraging due to lower volumes, increased prices due to inflationary pressures and an increased mix of larger models that corresponded with higher net sales per unit.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $20.2 million, or 162.1%, to $32.7 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in gross profit was driven primarily by higher sales revenue.

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $0.5 million, or 10.7%, to $5.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in compensation and boat show or other promotional related events for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. As a percentage of sales, selling and marketing expenses decreased 50 basis points to 2.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $2.7 million, or 12.7%, to $18.8 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in legal and professional fees, licenses and permits, and IT infrastructure expenses, partially offset by an increase in compensation and personnel-related expense. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased 450 basis points to 9.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Comparison of the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024

Net sales for fiscal year 2025 decreased $21.5 million, or 2.6%, to $807.6 million, compared to fiscal year 2024. The decrease in net sales was driven primarily by decreased unit volumes in the Saltwater Fishing and Cobalt segments resulting primarily from decreased wholesale shipments and an unfavorable segment mix, partially offset by increased unit volumes in the Malibu segment, favorable model mix across all segments and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Unit volume for fiscal year 2025 decreased 487 units, or 9.0%, to 4,898 units compared to fiscal year 2024. Our unit volume decreased primarily due to lower wholesale shipments in the Saltwater Fishing and Cobalt segments, partially offset by increased wholesale shipments to the Malibu segment. The decrease in overall wholesale shipments were driven by lower retail activity and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory.

Net sales attributable to our Malibu segment increased $33.6 million, or 12.0%, to $312.7 million for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024. Unit volumes attributable to our Malibu segment increased 42 units for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments during fiscal year 2024, as a result of elevated dealer inventory levels. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by an increase in units, a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Net sales attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased $47.9 million, or 14.6%, to $279.6 million for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory. Unit volumes decreased 367 units for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024. The decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in units and increased promotional costs, partially offset by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Unit volumes attributable to Cobalt decreased 162 units for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory.

Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment increased 9.9% to $140,665 per unit for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024, driven by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 10.1% to $220,881 per unit for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024, driven by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased promotional costs.

Cost of sales for fiscal year 2025 decreased $18.5 million, or 2.7%, to $663.5 million compared to fiscal year 2024. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by a 9.0% decrease in volumes, partially offset by higher per unit and material costs, increased warranty expense partially due to a model mix with a higher average selling price, and increased depreciation expense. In the Malibu segment, per unit material costs increased by $11.4 million driven by a more expensive model mix that corresponded with higher net sales per unit, and inflationary pressures, partially offset by a decrease in per unit labor costs of $2.9 million due to higher unit volumes. In the Saltwater Fishing segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $17.6 million driven by a more expensive model mix, that corresponded with higher net sales per unit, fixed-cost deleveraging due to lower volumes and inflationary pressures.

Total operating expenses for fiscal year 2025 decreased by $80.7 million, or 39.8%, from fiscal year 2024, primarily due to $88.4 million in impairment charges related to Maverick Boat Group in fiscal year 2024, partially offset by a $16.1 million increase in general and administrative expenses.

Fiscal 2026 Guidance

For the full fiscal year 2026, Malibu anticipates net sales to be flat to down mid single digits year-over-year, and Adjusted EBITDA margin ranging from 8% to 9%.

The Company has not provided reconciliations of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA margin, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include costs related to the Company's vertical integration initiatives, stock-based compensation expense and litigation expenses that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") or as an indicator of our liquidity. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should also not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, 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, certain professional fees, non-cash compensation expense and adjustments to our tax receivable agreement liability. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allow investors to evaluate our operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. 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 income (loss) 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 income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity.

Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets.

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, 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.

A reconciliation of our net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income (loss) per share attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. as determined in accordance with GAAP to adjusted net income per share is provided under "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
