Comparison of the Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2024 to the Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2023

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $213.6 million, or 57.4%, to $158.7 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period, increased promotional costs and elevated dealer channel inventory levels. Unit volume for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased 1,505 units, or 59.0%, to 1,045 units compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our unit volume decreased primarily due to lower wholesale shipments across all segments. The decrease in wholesale shipments were driven by our efforts to address elevated channel inventory resulting from weakening retail demand experienced throughout the fiscal year.

Net sales attributable to our Malibu segment decreased $122.8 million, or 76.6%, to $37.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Unit volumes attributable to our Malibu segment decreased 934 units, or 74.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity and elevated dealer channel inventory levels during the period and increased promotional costs, partially offset by lower dealer flooring program costs.

Net sales attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased $57.7 million, or 44.9%, to $71.0 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Unit volumes decreased 370 units, or 51.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in units and increased dealer flooring program costs, partially offset by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Net sales attributable to our Cobalt segment decreased $33.1 million, or 39.7%, to $50.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Unit volumes attributable to Cobalt decreased 201 units, or 35.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment decreased 8.0% to $117,690 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by increased promotional costs and increased dealer flooring program costs, partially offset by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 12.5% to $199,331 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased promotional costs and dealer flooring program costs.

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $123.6 million, or 45.8%, to $146.2 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by a 59.0% decrease in volumes and partially offset by increasingly normalized inflationary pressures. In the Malibu segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $8.4 million driven by increased prices due to inflationary pressures, offset by a decrease in volume. In the Saltwater Fishing segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $8.2 million driven by increased prices due to inflationary pressures and an increased mix of larger models that corresponded with higher net sales per unit, offset by a decrease in volume. In the Cobalt segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $1.8 million driven by increased prices due to inflationary pressures, partially offset by an increased mix of smaller models that correspond to a lower net sales per unit.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $90.0 million, or 87.8%, to $12.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by lower sales revenue. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased 1,960 basis points from 27.5% to 7.9%, driven by increased promotional costs across all segments, decreased mix of Malibu and Axis models that carry a higher gross margin and fixed-cost deleveraging.

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $0.6 million, or 10.6%, to $4.9 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in compensation and boat show and related events for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses was driven primarily by the settlement of product liability cases for $100.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by an increase in compensation and personnel-related expense. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased 1,810 basis points to 13.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, almost entirely due to the settlement of product liability cases discussed above. Amortization expense remained flat at $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $24.4 million from an operating loss of $22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Net sales for fiscal year 2024 decreased $559.3 million, or 40.3%, to $829.0 million, compared to fiscal year 2023.

Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment increased 3.1% to $127,983 per unit for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023, driven by an increased mix of higher optioned boats and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased promotional costs and increased dealer flooring program costs. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 15.4% to $200,577 per unit for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023, driven by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased promotional activities and increased dealer flooring program costs.

Fiscal 2025 Guidance

For the full fiscal year 2025, Malibu anticipates net sales increase percentage in the low single digits year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA margin ranging from 10%-12%.

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 acquisition and integration related expenses, costs related to the Company's vertical integration initiatives 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 Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) 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) income 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) 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of net income 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 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.

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.

We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income as net (loss) income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. (i) excluding income (benefit) 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 Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC (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 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 release, may differ from and may, therefore, not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and the numerator and denominator for our net income available to Class A Common Stock per share to Adjusted Fully Distributed Net (Loss) Income per share of Class A Common Stock is provided under "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

For fiscal year 2023, we recognized other expense from an adjustment in our tax receivable agreement liability mainly derived by future benefits from Tennessee net operating losses at Malibu Boats, Inc.
