Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

Revenue for fiscal fourth quarter 2025 was $460.1 million, an increase of 21.8% compared to $377.9 million in fiscal fourth quarter 2024. Same-store sales increased 23%. New boat revenue increased 26.7%, driven by an increase in units sold and average price per unit. Pre-owned boat revenue increased 24.6%, driven by the increase in units sold and average price per unit. Finance & insurance income decreased slightly as a percentage of total boat sales, and service, parts & other sales were up 6.7% compared to the prior year quarter. As a reminder, the fiscal fourth quarter 2024 was impacted by Hurricane Helene, which made landfall on the west coast of Florida in September of 2024, disrupting the Company’s ability to deliver boats. This negatively impacted revenue in the prior year period resulting in a more favorable year over year comparison for fourth quarter 2025 sales.

Gross profit totaled $103.9 million for fiscal fourth quarter 2025, up $13.2 million from $90.7 million for fiscal fourth quarter 2024. Gross profit margin of 22.6% decreased 140 basis points compared to the prior year period, driven by new boat model mix, pricing on continuing brands, and the impact of select brands the Company exited.

Fiscal fourth quarter 2025 selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $84.3 million, or 18.3% of revenue, compared to $79.5 million, or 21.0% of revenue, in fiscal fourth quarter 2024. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was driven by higher revenues and ongoing reductions in the Company’s expense structure.

Net loss for fiscal fourth quarter 2025 totaled $(113.0) million, compared to net loss of $(10.4) million in fiscal fourth quarter 2024. The net loss in the period was driven by a $145.8 million non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and certain intangible assets. The Company reported net loss per diluted share for fiscal fourth quarter 2025 of $(6.90), compared to net loss per diluted share of $(0.63) in 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ for fiscal fourth quarter 2025 was less than $0.01, compared to adjusted diluted loss per share¹ of $(0.36) in 2024.

Fiscal fourth quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased 123.0% to $17.5 million compared to $7.8 million for fiscal fourth quarter 2024.

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2025 Results

Revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 increased 5.6% to $1,872.3 million from $1,772.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, driven by an increase in new and pre-owned average selling price compared to the prior year. Same-store sales increased 6% compared to the prior year. Finance & insurance sales remained flat as a percentage of total boat sales, and service, parts & other sales were up 1.6% compared to the prior year. Dealership service, parts, & other sales increased compared to the prior year while Distribution segment sales were lower due to reduced production by boat manufacturers.

Gross profit totaled $427.0 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to $435.1 million for fiscal year 2024. Gross profit margin of 22.8% decreased 170 basis points compared to the prior year, primarily driven by new boat model mix, pricing on continuing brands, and the impact of select brands the Company exited.

Fiscal year 2025 selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $343.3 million, or 18.3% of revenue, compared to $332.7 million, or 18.8% of revenue in fiscal year 2024. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to higher revenues and ongoing reductions in the Company’s expense structure.

Net loss for fiscal year 2025 totaled $(116.2) million compared to net loss of $(6.2) million in fiscal year 2024, a decrease of $110.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $145.8 million non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and certain intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company reported a net loss per diluted share for fiscal year 2025 of $(7.22), compared to net loss per diluted share of $(0.39) in 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ for fiscal year 2025 was $0.44, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.98 in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA¹ decreased 15.0% to $70.1 million, compared to $82.5 million in fiscal year 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $52.2 million and total liquidity, including cash and availability under credit facilities, was approximately $67 million. Total inventory as of September 30, 2025, decreased to $539.8 million, compared to $590.8 million on September 30, 2024. Inventory declined primarily as a result of the Company’s disciplined inventory management approach. Total long-term debt as of September 30, 2025 was $412.1 million, and adjusted long-term net debt (net of $52.2 million cash)¹ was 5.1 times trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA¹.

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, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc., Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Long-Term Net Debt, as measures 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 and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance, to their corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to change in fair value of contingent consideration and transaction costs. Change in fair value of 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 and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not available without unreasonable effort.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense – other, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization and other (income) expense, further adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as the change in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring and impairment, stock-based compensation and transaction costs. See reconciliation above.

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 change in fair value of contingent consideration, income tax (benefit) expense, restructuring and impairment, stock-based compensation 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.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share

We define Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. as Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. before transaction costs, intangible amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring and impairment and other expense (income), all of which are then adjusted for an allocation to the non-controlling interest of OneWater Marine Holdings, LLC. Each of these adjustments are subsequently adjusted for income tax at an estimated effective tax rate. Management also reports Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share which presents all of the adjustments to Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. noted above on a per share basis. See reconciliation above.

Our board of directors, management team and lenders use Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share 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 unusual or one time charges and other items (such as the change in fair value of contingent consideration, intangible amortization, restructuring and impairment, transaction costs and other expense (income)) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present these metrics because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures 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.

Adjusted Long-Term Net Debt

We define Adjusted Long-Term Net Debt as long-term debt (including current portion) less cash. We consider, and we believe certain investors and analysts consider, adjusted long-term net debt, as well as adjusted long-term net debt divided by trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA, to be an indicator of our financial leverage.

Same-Store Sales

We define same-store sales as sales from our Dealership segment, 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 or sold stores are excluded from each comparative base period. We use same-store sales to assess the organic growth of our Dealership segment revenue. 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.
