CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, revenue increased over 15% to $189.3 million from $164.1 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales for the quarter increased over 17%, on top of 10% growth for the comparable period last year. The Company’s net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, was $32.8 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share for the comparable period last year. Included in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, is the reversal of $27.4 million net, or $1.10 per diluted share, related to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Included in the quarter ended September 30, 2014, is $1.6 million net, or $0.06 per diluted share, of gains associated with the sale of real estate and a recovery for damages from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program.

Excluding the tax benefit in the September 2015 quarter and the gains in the September 2014 quarter, pretax earnings increased over 50% to $5.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, as compared to $3.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year.

Revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 increased over 20% to $751.4 million from $624.7 million for fiscal 2014. For the full year, same-store sales increased 22%. The Company’s net income for the year ended September 30, 2015, was $48.3 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, compared with net income of $11.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year. Included in the year ended September 30, 2015, is $27.4 million net, or $1.09 per diluted share, as noted above, from the reversal of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance and a $1.6 million net gain, or $0.06 per diluted share, from the sale of real estate. Included in the year ended September 2014, is $1.6 million net, or $0.06 per diluted share, of gains, as noted above.

Excluding the tax benefit and the gains in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and the gains in the fiscal year ended September 2014, pretax earnings increased over 98% to $19.3 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, as compared to $9.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year.

William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our fourth quarter and full year performance marked another milestone in the Company’s ongoing progress as we continue to outperform the industry in this slow but steady economic recovery. The marine industry continues to make progress as evidenced by generally increasing unit sales. We are pleased to be able to end the year on a strong note of quarterly same-store sales growth exceeding 17% in a year where we produced very strong same-store-sales growth of 22%. Our results have been enhanced by new products from our industry leading partners and additional brands and segments we have acquired over the past few years.”

Mr. McGill continued, “We are energized by the increasing demand that is occurring, evidenced by our backlog of sales and the continued positive reaction to the new models at the start of the fall boat show season. We expect to build on our ability to outperform the industry and gain market share. With appropriate inventory levels, a balance sheet that is the strongest it has been in the past ten years and a high performing team and culture, we are positioned to create additional value in the coming years as we focus on building upon our strong results."

2016 Guidance

Based on current business conditions, retail trends and other factors, the Company currently expects fully taxed earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.60 to $0.70 for fiscal 2016. This compares to an adjusted, but fully taxed, diluted earnings per share of $0.47 in fiscal 2015. The adjustments to 2015 are the removal of the gains and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance reversal noted above. These expectations do not take into account, or give effect for, material acquisitions that may be completed by the Company during the fiscal year or other unforeseen events.
