Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $23.2 million, or 13.5%, to $194.7 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by increased unit volumes in the Malibu segment, a favorable model mix in our Cobalt segment 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 September 30, 2025, increased 105 units, or 10.3%, to 1,129 units as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our unit volume increased primarily due to higher wholesale shipments across the Malibu segment, partially offset by lower wholesale shipments in the Cobalt and Saltwater Fishing segments.

Net sales attributable to our Malibu segment increased $22.6 million, or 40.4%, to $78.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Unit volumes attributable to our Malibu segment increased 154 units for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of elevated dealer inventory levels. The increase in net sales was driven by an increase in units and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased dealer incentive costs.

Net sales attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased $0.4 million, or 0.7%, to $64.3 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Unit volumes attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased 12 units for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period. The decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in units, partially offset by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases and a favorable model mix.

Net sales attributable to our Cobalt segment increased $1.0 million, or 1.9%, to $51.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Unit volumes attributable to Cobalt decreased 37 units for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 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 and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by a decrease in units.

Overall consolidated net sales per unit increased 2.9% to $172,483 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in overall consolidated net sales per unit was driven primarily by a favorable model mix in our Cobalt and Saltwater Fishing segments and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by an unfavorable segment mix and increased dealer incentive costs in the Malibu segment. Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment increased 0.2% to $146,184 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, driven by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by an increase in dealer incentive costs. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 3.5% to $223,326 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 driven by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Net sales per unit for our Cobalt segment increased 14.3% to $170,851 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, driven by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $23.4 million, or 16.3%, to $166.8 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by a 13.5% increase in net sales due to higher unit volumes and partially due to higher net per unit material and labor costs of $1.9 million, $2.2 million and $6.3 million for the Malibu, Saltwater Fishing, and Cobalt segments, respectively. The increase in per unit material and labor costs was primarily driven by increased prices due to fixed cost deleverage in the Cobalt and Saltwater Fishing segments, a model mix that corresponds to higher costs per unit in our Cobalt and Saltwater Fishing segments, and inflationary pressures.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $0.3 million, or 1.0%, to $27.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by increased cost of sales for the reasons noted above, partially offset by increased net sales. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased 210 basis points from 16.4% to 14.3% driven primarily by higher per unit labor and material costs and increased dealer incentive costs in the Malibu segment.

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $1.4 million, or 29.4% to $6.3 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in certain marketing events. As a percentage of sales, selling and marketing expenses increased 40 basis points to 3.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $6.5 million, or 23.8%, to $20.8 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 driven primarily by a $3.5 million legal settlement for the three months ended September 30, 2024, along with decreased legal and professional fees. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased 520 basis points to 10.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 15.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Amortization expense remained flat at $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased to an operating loss of $0.8 million from an operating loss of $5.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased 86.2% to a net loss of $0.7 million from a net loss of $5.1 million and net loss margin decreased to (0.4)% from (3.0)% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased 19.1% to $11.8 million from $9.9 million, while Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 6.1% from 5.8% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

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%-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 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 loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash, non-operating expenses, or other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses, including certain professional fees, litigation settlements, 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 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 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 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 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 excludes items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

We define adjusted net income per share as net loss attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. per share, excluding income tax expense (benefit), before non-cash, non-operating expenses, or other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses, including 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 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 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 loss as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net 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".
