Malibu Boats, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Results

September 7, 2016 7:01 AM

LOUDON, TN -- (Marketwired) -- 09/07/16 -- Malibu Boats, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBUU) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2016

Highlights for Fiscal Year 2016

Jack Springer, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Fourth quarter results were solid with both our Malibu and Axis brands performing well. Malibu has continued its series of firsts with our fourth quarter being the best fourth quarter in company history based on net sales and unit volume. We have again exceeded our internal goals and projections for the year and remain pleased with the overall trends in the business. Demand for our product continues to be strong in the U.S. and Australia. Currency headwinds persist in other parts of the world, diminishing demand in Canada, Europe, South America and other regions. Despite the currency headwinds, net sales for the quarter increased almost 10%. Our new product for fiscal year 2016 has performed exceptionally well, driving revenue and market share gains. Sales of the 25 LSV, M235, 20 VTX and A20 have all been strong and generated the demand we expected. The 23 LSV remains the best-selling boat in our market by a large margin and the 22 VLX remains in strong demand. Our Axis model line-up continues to grow and propel market share gains. Finishing fiscal year 2016 and entering into fiscal year 2017, channel inventories with our dealers are at near optimum levels and our prescient decision to scale back production in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 has served us well."

Mr. Springer continued, "We are very excited about our product introductions for fiscal year 2017. Dealers and customers are already providing positive reviews for our completely new boats in the 22 MXZ and 24 MXZ, and we are seeing strong demand for these two new boats. Our new 21 VLX, which is nationally advertised at $79,995, is a ground-breaking new product. It is a 21 foot Wakesetter that is well appointed with features at a price that we believe no one else can match in our space. We believe this will invigorate sales from new buyers and customers who have been on the sidelines as boat prices have risen. Less than a year ago, we debuted the ultra- premium M235, which blends luxury and performance and is loaded with every technologically innovative feature we offer, and now we have introduced a new model in the 21 VLX that will appeal to a much larger customer demographic."

Comparison of the Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2016 to the Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2015

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $6.0 million, or 9.8%, to $66.7 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. Unit volume for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased 18 units, or 2.0%, to 922 units compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a demand-driven increase in our daily production rate over the same period in the prior year, bolstered by the introduction of our new models. Net sales per unit increased approximately 7.7% to $72,321 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily driven by year over year price increases and the mix of larger model sales such as the 25 LSV and M235, which carry a higher average selling price as well as increased demand for optional features and trailers. This increase in net sales was partially offset by increased discount activity on, among others, international sales to offset the impact of negative foreign currency fluctuations on sales prices attributable to a strengthened U.S. dollar and increased sales of our Axis brand, which carries a lower average selling price than our Malibu brand.

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $4.4 million, or 9.9%, to $48.9 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the mix of larger model sales, which have higher material content and labor hours, as well as increased sales of boat parts, and higher warranty expense attributable to the extension of our warranty coverage period effective for model year 2016.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.6 million, or 9.5%, to $17.8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in gross profit resulted primarily from our mix of larger model sales and increased demand for options, trailers and boat parts. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased 10 basis points to 26.7% from 26.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in gross margin was driven primarily by discounting on international sales and lower margins in our Australian operations caused by the higher U.S. dollar denominated costs.

Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased 12.1% to $1.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to the timing of sponsorship events and photo shoots. General and administrative expense increased $5.3 million, or 193.3%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in general and administrative expenses is largely attributable to a one-time charge of $3.3 million related to a jury verdict rendered against us in litigation with Marine Power Holding, LLC ("Marine Power") and legal expenses attributable to ongoing MasterCraft litigation as well as higher stock compensation expense associated with share-based awards granted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was flat at $0.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Operating income for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 decreased to $7.8 million from operating income of $11.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2015. Net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 decreased 46.0% to $4.1 million and net income margin decreased to 6.1% from 12.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 increased 13.8% to $13.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 20.3% from 19.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Comparison of the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016 to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2015

Net sales for fiscal year 2016 increased $24.3 million, or 10.6%, to $253.0 million, compared to fiscal year 2015. Included in net sales for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 were net sales of $20.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively, attributable to our Australian operations acquired in October 2014. Unit volume for fiscal year 2016 increased 165 units, or 4.8%, to 3,569 units compared to fiscal year 2015. Of the 165 units added, 89 units were added as a result of our Australian business and the remainder of the increase was primarily due to a demand-driven increase in our daily production rate over the prior year, bolstered by the strong demand for new, larger models such as the M235 and 25 LSV, offset by currency-driven challenges in international markets outside of Australia, including Canada. Net sales per unit for fiscal year 2016 increased approximately 5.5% to $70,878 compared to fiscal year 2015, primarily driven by year over year price increases and our increased mix of larger model sales, which carry a higher average selling price, and increased demand for optional features and trailers, partially offset by our Australian operations, which carry a lower average selling price per unit. Net sales per unit for our U.S. segment, which includes our international business other than Australia, increased approximately 6.8% to $73,637 for fiscal year 2016 as compared to fiscal year 2015. The increase was primarily driven by higher prices on new model year product, the increased mix of larger model sales, and increased demand for optional features and trailers, partially offset by increased discount activity on, among others, international sales to offset the impact of negative foreign currency fluctuations on sales prices attributable to a strengthened U.S. dollar and increased sales of our Axis brand which carry a lower average selling price than our Malibu brand.

Cost of sales for fiscal year 2016 increased $18.0 million, or 10.7%, to $186.1 million compared to fiscal year 2015. The increase in cost of sales was due primarily to increased volumes driven by higher throughput at our U.S. operations and the addition of our Australian business in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015. Cost of sales per unit for our U.S. operations on a stand-alone basis increased approximately 6.9% for fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015, driven by the mix of larger model sales, which have higher material content and labor hours, and the extension of our warranty period of coverage from three to five years for model year 2016, offset by lower trailer cost per unit created from manufacturing efficiencies.

Gross profit for fiscal year 2016 increased $6.4 million, or 10.6%, compared to fiscal year 2015. The increase in gross profit resulted primarily from higher volumes. Gross margin for fiscal year 2016 was unchanged at 26.4% compared to fiscal year 2015 as gains associated with our mix of larger model sales, demand-driven increase in optional features and trailers, higher prices on new model year products and production efficiencies around trailer manufacturing, were offset by increased discount activity, particularly in international markets due to the impact of a strengthened U.S. dollar on sales prices, and the impact of inclusion of our Australian business where margins have been under pressure from the strength of the U.S. dollar.

Selling and marketing expense for fiscal year 2016 increased $0.5 million, or 6.7%, to $7.5 million compared to fiscal year 2015 primarily due to increased event sponsorship. General and administrative expense for fiscal year 2016 increased $1.4 million, or 7.3%, to $21.3 million compared to fiscal year 2015, largely due to the $3.3 million charge related to a jury verdict rendered against us in the Marine Power litigation, higher payroll related expenses attributed to higher headcount, stock compensation costs, and operating expenses attributable to a full year of activity at our Australian operations, offset by decreases in offering and acquisition related costs. Amortization expense for fiscal year 2016 decreased $0.3 million, or 11.3%, to $2.2 million, primarily due to the full amortization in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 of our dealer relationship intangible acquired in 2006, offset by amortization attributable to intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of our Australian licensee in October 2014.

Operating income for fiscal year 2016 increased to $35.9 million from operating income of $31.2 million for fiscal year 2015. Net income for fiscal year 2016 decreased 12.5% to $20.3 million, and net income margin decreased to 8.0% from 10.1% for fiscal year 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2016 increased 10.5% to $48.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin remained unchanged at 19.1%.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Forward-looking statements can be identified by such words and phrases as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "estimates," "may," "will," "should," "continue" and similar expressions, comparable terminology or the negative thereof, and includes the statement in this press release regarding the expected demand and acceptance for our new model year 2017 offerings, including our 21 VLX.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: general industry, economic and business conditions, demand for our products, changes in consumer preferences, competition within our industry, our reliance on our network of independent dealers, our ability to manage our manufacturing levels and our large fixed cost base, the successful introduction of our new products, and other factors affecting us detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these risks and uncertainties are outside our control, and there may be other risks and uncertainties which we do not currently anticipate because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation (and we expressly disclaim any obligation) to update or supplement any forward-looking statements that may become untrue because of subsequent events, whether because of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise. Comparison of results for current and prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income 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. 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 before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash, non-recurring or non-operating expenses, including management fees and expenses, certain professional fees, litigation related expenses, acquisition and integration related expenses, non-cash compensation expense, and offering related expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful because they allow management to evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers 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.

We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income as net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. (i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, (iii) assuming the exchange of all units ("LLC Units") in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC (the "LLC") into shares of Class A Common Stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in the LLC, and (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on fully distributed net income before income taxes (assuming no income attributable to non-controlling interests) at our estimated effective income tax rate. Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure because it represents net 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 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 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 Income is susceptible to varying calculations, the Adjusted Fully Distributed Net 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 Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and of our net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. to Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is provided under "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

  1. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, we identified an error related to the understatement of deferred tax assets and paid in capital attributable to a book to tax difference in our investment in the LLC. Consequently, we have revised the historical consolidated financial information presented herein as of June 30, 2015. The error correction resulted in an increase in deferred tax assets of $12,556 and an increase by the same amount in additional paid in capital on the audited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 and within the statement of stockholders' equity for the year ending June 30, 2015.
