BUFORD, Ga., April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OneWater Marine Inc. (NASDAQ: ONEW) (“OneWater” or the “Company”) today announced results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2021.

“Our business is firing on all cylinders, with fiscal second quarter revenues increasing to a record $330 million supporting a 315% increase in Adjusted EBITDA¹ compared to the prior year. Further, our high-margin finance & insurance and service, parts and other business lines continue to expand, underscoring the strength of our strategy to further diversify beyond new and used boats sales, providing another leg of growth for OneWater,” commented Austin Singleton, Chief Executive Officer at OneWater.

“As we implement our acquisition integration playbook, the addition of Tom George, Walker Marine and Roscioli, strengthens OneWater as we realize synergies and make operational improvements. The creation and expansion of OneWater Yacht Group will provide a broadened geographic footprint and expanded product portfolio. In addition, our technology investments continue to drive operational efficiencies across our business and enable us to capture a customer desire to get out on the water. I am extremely proud of our team’s ability to remain agile in today’s fast-paced, dynamic environment. We believe that current demand levels will remain heightened, as new and experienced boaters come to OneWater for our arsenal of premium boats and robust service capabilities,” Mr. Singleton concluded.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2021 Results

Revenue for the fiscal second quarter 2021 was $329.6 million, an increase of 73.5% compared to $190.0 million in fiscal second quarter 2020, driven by an increase in sales across all boating categories and higher finance & insurance and service, parts and other sales. During the fiscal second quarter 2021 same-store sales increased 57%.

Gross profit totaled $88.8 million for the fiscal second quarter 2021, compared to $44.6 million for the fiscal second quarter 2020. Gross profit margin of 26.9% increased 340 basis points compared to the prior year primarily due to a shift in the mix and size of boat models sold, the Company’s focus on dynamic pricing, increases in service, parts & other sales, finance & insurance, and the emphasis on meeting customer demand.

Fiscal second quarter 2021 selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $48.3 million, or 14.7% of revenue, compared to $32.4 million, or 17.0% of revenue, in the fiscal second quarter of 2020. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was due to the Company’s ability to leverage its existing expense structure to support the increase in revenue.

Net income for the fiscal second quarter of 2021 totaled $30.6 million, compared to $3.0 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2020. The significant increase was primarily due to higher sales and gross margins on boats sold in the period and a reduction in interest expense.

Fiscal second quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA (see reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures) increased to $40.1 million, compared to $9.7 million for the fiscal second quarter of 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $76.7 million, an increase of $56.3 million compared to $20.4 million as of March 31, 2020.

Liquidity totaled in excess of $100 million on March 31, 2021 including cash on hand and availability on the revolving line of credit and floor plan credit facility. Total inventory as of March 31, 2021 decreased sequentially to $186.1 million compared to $196.1 million on December 31, 2020, primarily due to the increased sales and tight inventory across the industry.

Fiscal Year 2021 Guidance

Given the broad-based outperformance in the first half of fiscal year 2021, OneWater is increasing its outlook. For the fiscal full year 2021, the Company now expects same store sales to increase in the mid-to-upper teens, with Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $130 million to $135 million and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.80 to $6.00, excluding any acquisitions that may be completed later in the year. This outlook assumes OneWater’s manufacturers can maintain production at the current pace to meet elevated demand levels in the face of industry-wide supply chain constraints.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

This press release and our related earnings call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance. Management believes these measures may be useful in performing meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results, to understand the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and how management views the business. Reconciliations of reported GAAP measures to adjusted non-GAAP measures are included in the financial schedules contained in this press release. These measures, however, should not be construed as an alternative to any other measure of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Because our non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies, our definition of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. We have not reconciled non?GAAP forward-looking measures, including Adjusted EBITDA guidance, to their corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to acquisition contingent consideration and transaction costs. Acquisition contingent consideration and transaction costs are affected by the acquisition, integration and post-acquisition performance of our acquirees which is difficult to predict and subject to change. Accordingly, reconciliations of forward looking Adjusted EBITDA is not available without unreasonable effort.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense – other, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and other (income) expense, further adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as the change in the fair value of warrant liability, gain (loss) on contingent consideration, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs. See reconciliation below.

Our board of directors, management team and lenders use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other items (such as the fair value adjustment of the warrants, gain or loss on contingent consideration, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will provide useful information to investors and analysts in assessing our financial performance and results of operations across reporting periods by excluding items we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Same-Store Sales

We define same-store sales as sales from our stores excluding new and acquired stores. New and acquired stores become eligible for inclusion in the comparable store base at the end of the store’s thirteenth month of operations under our ownership and revenues are only included for identical months in the same-store base periods. Stores relocated within an existing market remain in the comparable store base for all periods. Additionally, amounts related to closed stores are excluded from each comparative base period. We use same-store sales to assess the organic growth of our revenue on a same-store basis. We believe that our assessment on a same-store basis represents an important indicator of comparative financial results and provides relevant information to assess our performance.
