CEO & President Commentary
“As anticipated, retail margin pressure persisted across the recreational boating industry in the December quarter, reflecting continued uncertainty and competitive dynamics, including elevated promotional activity, as the industry continues to right-size inventory,” said Brett McGill, CEO and President of MarineMax. “While these conditions kept new and used boat margins well below historical levels, we were encouraged by the solid same-store sales growth achieved during the period. With industry inventory levels anticipated to normalize through the second half of the fiscal year, we believe our positioning at the premium end of the market will support a gradual improvement in margin performance.
“Our ability to consistently generate gross margins above 30% in one of the industry’s more challenging markets underscores the benefits of our strategy of adding higher-margin, complementary and less cyclical businesses. Over the past several years, we have diversified beyond traditional boat sales into marinas, storage operations, superyacht services, and financing and insurance. These businesses provide higher‑margin, recurring-revenue streams that enhance resilience and reduce the volatility inherent in the boating industry cycles. As these businesses continue to scale, they are becoming an increasingly important driver of long-term performance.
“During the quarter, we also achieved substantial reductions in inventory and floor plan financing, reflecting disciplined operational execution and improved alignment between supply and demand. Customer deposits remained steady year-over-year, providing a foundation for greater stability as we progress through the year. Combined with increased liquidity, improved inventory positioning and a strengthening balance sheet, we are entering the next phase of the industry recovery from a position of financial strength.”
Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results
Revenue in the fiscal 2026 first quarter increased 7.8% to $505.2 million from $468.5 million in the prior-year period, which was adversely impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. On a comparable store basis, revenue increased by more than 10% year-over-year, compared with an 11% decline in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 versus the same period in fiscal 2024.
Gross profit was $160.5 million, or 31.8% of revenue, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with$169.7 million, or 36.2% of revenue, in the prior-year period. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the current retail promotional environment and sales mix, partly offset by contributions from the Company’s higher-margin businesses.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $155.6 million, or 30.8% of revenue, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with $130.7 million, or 27.9% of revenue, in the prior-year period. Included in the prior-year period is a gain of $25.8 million for an adjustment to the fair value of contingent consideration. Excluding change in fair value of contingent consideration, hurricane and tornado (weather) expenses, intangible amortization, restructuring charges, and transaction and other costs, Adjusted SG&A1 increased $1.6 million, or 1.1%, to $151.0 million from $149.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
Interest expense was $15.9 million, or 3.1% of revenue, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with $18.7 million, or 4.0% of revenue, in the prior-year period. The decrease primarily reflected lower inventory levels relative to the first quarter of fiscal 2025, as well as reduced financing costs.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $7.9 million, or $0.36 per share, compared with net income of $18.1 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted net loss1 was $4.6 million, or $0.21 per share, compared with adjusted net income of $4.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA1 totaled $15.5 million, compared with $26.1 million in the prior-year period.
Reaffirms Fiscal 2026 Guidance
Based on current business conditions, retail marine industry trends, and other relevant factors, the Company continues to expect fiscal 2026 Adjusted EBITDA1, 2 to be in the range of $110 million to $125 million, with adjusted net income1, 2 in the range of $0.40 to $0.95 per diluted share. These projections exclude the potential impact of material acquisitions or other unforeseen developments, including changes in tariffs and broader global economic conditions.
McGill concluded, “Although conditions across the recreational marine industry remain challenging, we expect activity to gradually improve as we move into the spring selling season. Early indications from this year’s retail boat shows have been encouraging, and our positioning in the premium segment should enable us to outperform the broader market as conditions improve.”

1, 2 Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release, along with the above Supplemental Financial Information table, contains “Adjusted net (loss) income attributable to MarineMax, Inc.,” “Adjusted diluted net (loss) income per common share,” “Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and “Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses” (“Adjusted SG&A”), which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under applicable securities legislation. Adjusted SG&A expenses represent SG&A expenses adjusted for transaction and other costs, intangible amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, weather expenses, and restructuring expense. See the tables labeled, “Supplemental Financial Information” for the excluded amounts for both periods for Adjusted SG&A.
In determining these measures, the Company excludes certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are key performance indicators that improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s results and provide investors with more insight into, and an additional tool to understand and assess, the performance of the Company's ongoing core business operations. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the above reconciliation and should consider these non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
In addition, we have not reconciled our fiscal year 2026 Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (the corresponding GAAP measure for each), which is not accessible on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to acquisition contingent consideration, acquisition costs, and other costs. Acquisition contingent consideration and transaction costs, which are likely to be significant to the calculation of net income, are affected by the integration and post-acquisition performance of our acquirees, which is difficult to predict and subject to change. Accordingly, reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA are not available without unreasonable effort.
