OneWater Marine Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.Description of Company and Basis of Presentation
 
Description of the Business


OneWater Marine Inc. (“OneWater Inc.”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 3, 2019 and was a wholly-owned subsidiary of One Water Marine Holdings, LLC (“OneWater LLC”). Pursuant to a reorganization on February 11, 2020 into a holding company structure for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the “IPO”) and related transactions in order to carry on the business of OneWater LLC and its subsidiaries (together with OneWater Marine Inc., the “Company”), OneWater Inc. is the holding company and its sole material asset is the equity interest in OneWater LLC. OneWater LLC was organized as a limited liability company under the law of the State of Delaware in 2014 and is the parent company of One Water Assets & Operations (“OWAO”), and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.
 

The Company is one of the largest recreational boat retailers in the United States. The Company engages primarily in the retail sale, brokerage, and service of new and pre-owned boats, motors, trailers, the sale of marine parts and accessories, and offers slip and storage accommodations in certain locations. The Company also arranges related boat financing, insurance, and extended service contracts for customers with third-party lenders and insurance companies. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, the Company operated a total of 7596 retail locations, 810 distribution centers/warehouses and multiple online marketplaces in 1519 states, several of which are in the top twenty states for marine retail expenditures.
 

Operating results are generally subject to seasonal variations. Demand for products is generally highest during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year and, accordingly, revenues are generally expected to be higher during these periods. General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact the Company’s operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments, global public health concerns, including the COVID-19 pandemic, or uncertainties could reduce consumer spending and adversely affect the Company’s business. Consumer spending on discretionary goods may also decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are otherwise favorable. Economic conditions in areas in which the Company operates stores, particularly in the Southeast, can have a major impact on the Company’s overall results of operations. Local influences such as corporate downsizing, inclement weather such as hurricanes and other storms, environmental conditions, and other events could adversely affect the Company’s operations in certain markets and in certain periods. Any extended period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence is likely to have a negative effect on the Company’s business.
 

Sales of new boats from the Company’s top 10 brands represent approximately 34.5%42.9% and 41.2%41.1% of total sales for the threenine months ended December 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, making them major suppliers of the Company. Of this amount, Malibu Boats, Inc., including its brands Malibu, Axis, Cobalt, Pursuit, Maverick, Hewes, Cobia and Pathfinder accounted for 14.1%15.6% and 13.7%17.1% of our consolidated revenue for the threenine months ended December 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively. As is typical in the industry, the Company contracts with most manufacturers under renewable annual dealer agreements, each of which provides the right to sell various makes and models of boats within a given geographic region. Any change or termination of these agreements, or the agreements discussed above, for any reason, or changes in competitive, regulatory, or marketing practices, including rebate or incentive programs, could adversely affect results of operations. Pre-owned boats are usually trade-ins from retail customers who are purchasing a boat from the Company.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 

As the sole managing member of OneWater LLC, OneWater Inc. operates and controls all of the businesses and affairs of OneWater LLC, and through OneWater LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control, conducts its business. As a result, OneWater Inc. consolidates the financial results of OneWater LLC and its subsidiaries and reports non-controlling interests related to the portion of economic interest not owned units of OneWater LLC (the “OneWater LLC Units”) not owned by OneWater Inc., which will reduce net income (loss) attributable to OneWater Inc.’s Class A stockholders. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, OneWater Inc. owned 90.6%90.8% of the economic interest of OneWater LLC.



Additionally,Commencing December 31, 2021, the Company owns 80% of the economic interest of Quality Assets and Operations, over which the Company exercises control and the minority interest in this subsidiary has been recorded accordingly. See Note 4 for additional information regarding the acquisition.
 
Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements, which do not include all the information and notes required by such accounting principles for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with OneWater Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021. All adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.


All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates on a fiscal year basis with the first day of the fiscal year being October 1, and the last day of the year ending on September 30. Additionally, since there are no differences between net income and comprehensive income, all references to comprehensive income have been excluded from the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
COVID-19 Pandemic
 

In March 2020, the Company began seeing theThe duration and related impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on its business. During the subsequent months the Company followed the guidance of local governments and health officials, we temporarily closed or reduced staffing at certain departments and locations. All locations have reopened and the Company has implemented cleaning and social distancing techniques at each of its locations. In light of the current environment, the Company’s sales team members are providing customers with the option of in-person or virtual walkthroughs of inventory and/or private, at home or on water showings. The duration and related impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is currently uncertain, and it is possible that the pandemic, including the resurgence of COVID-19 in certain geographic areas or the emergence of variant strains of the virus, may negatively impact the Company’s future results of operations. The impact of COVID-19 on our suppliers and the recent increase in demand for marine retail products has led to industry-wide supply chain constraints. The Company is monitoring and assessing the situation and preparing for implications to the business, including the ability to safely operate its stores, access to inventory and customer demand.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other payables and accrued expenses, floor plan notes payable, term note payable and revolving note payable with Truist Bank, seller notes payable and company vehicle notes payable.payable. The carrying values approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments.
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of the new and pre-owned boat inventory is determined using the specific identification method. In assessing lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company considers the aging of the boats, historical sales of a brand and current market conditions. The cost of manufactured and assembled parts and accessories is determined using standard costing. The cost of acquired parts and accessories is determined using the weighted average cost method.
Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets


Goodwill and intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’(“ASC”) 350, ‘‘Intangibles - Goodwill and Other’’ (‘‘ASC 350’’), which provides that the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that impairment might have occurred. ASC 350 also states that if an entity determines, based on an assessment of certain qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary.



In evaluating goodwill for impairment, if the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the difference would represent the amount of required goodwill impairment. To the extent the reporting unit’s earnings decline significantly or there are changes in one or more of these inputs that would result in a lower valuation, it could cause the carrying value of the reporting unit to exceed its fair value and thus require the Company to record goodwill impairment.


Identifiable intangible assets consist of trade names, design libraries and customer relationships related to the acquisitions the Company has completed. The Company has determined that trade names have an indefinite life, as there are no economic, contractual or other factors that limit their useful lives and they are expected to generate value as long as the trade name is utilized by the dealer group,marine retailer, and therefore, are not subject to amortization. Financial statement risk exists toDesign libraries and customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten years and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the extent identifiable intangibles become impaired due to the decrease in the fair valuecarrying amount of the identifiable assets.
asset may not be recoverable. Intangible asset amortization expense was approximately $2.1 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. NaN expense was recorded for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Sales Tax

The Company collects sales tax on all of the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers and remits the entire amount to the states that imposed the sales tax on and concurrent with specific sales transactions. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted to the states from revenues and cost of sales.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized from the sale of products and commissions earned on new and pre-owned boats (including used, brokerage, consignment and wholesale) when ownership is transferred to the customer, which is generally upon acceptance or delivery to the customer.delivery. At the time of acceptance or delivery, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits at such time. We are the principal with respect to revenue from new, pre-owned and consignment sales and such revenue is recorded at the gross sales price. With respect to brokerage transactions, we are acting as an agent in the transaction, therefore the fee or commission is recorded on a net basis.


Revenue from parts and accessories sold directly to a customer (not on a repair order) are recognized when control of the items is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment. Revenue from parts and service operations (boat maintenance and repairs) are recorded over time as services are performed. Satisfaction of this performance obligation creates an asset with no alternative use for which an enforceable right to payment for performance to date exists within our contractual agreements. Each boat maintenance and repair service is a single performance obligation that includes both the parts and labor associated with the service. Payment for boat maintenance and repairs is typically due upon the completion of the service, which is generally completed within a period of one year or less from contract inception. The Company recorded contract assets in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $3.0$3.8 and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Revenue from parts and accessories sold directly to a customer (not on a repair order) are recognized when control of the items is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment.


Certain parts and service transactions require the Company to perform shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the customer (e.g., when control transfers prior to delivery). They are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued when the related revenue is recognized and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.



Revenue from storage and marina operations is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract as services are completed. Revenue from arranging financing, insurance and extended warranty contracts to customers through various third-party financial institutions and insurance companies is recognized when the related boats are sold. We do not directly finance our customers’ boat, motor or trailer purchases. We are acting as an agent in the transaction, therefore the commission is recorded on a net basis. Subject to our agreements and in the event of early cancellation, prepayment or default of such loans or insurance contracts by the customer, we may be assessed a charge backchargeback for a portion of the commission paid by the third-party financial institutions and insurance companies. We reserve for these chargebacks based on our historical experience with repayments or defaults. Chargebacks were not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021.




Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenues from marina and storage operations and customer deposits and are classified in customer deposits in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deposits received from customers are recorded as a liability until the related sales orders have been fulfilled by us and control of the vessel or part/accessory is transferred to the customer. The activity in customer deposits for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 is as follows:

Income Taxes

OneWater Inc. is a corporation and as a result, is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the book value and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period in which the enactment date occurs. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations.


OneWater LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore does not pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Instead, the OneWater LLC members are liable for U.S. federal income tax on their respective shares of the Company’s taxable income reported on the members’ U.S. federal income tax returns.


When there are situations with uncertainty as to the timing of the deduction, the amount of the deduction, or the validity of the deduction, the Company adjusts the financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained. Positions that meet this criterion are measured using the largest benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized. Interest and penalties related to income taxes are included in the benefit (provision) for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.

Vendor Consideration Received

Consideration received from vendors is accounted for in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 330, ‘‘Inventory’’ (‘‘ASC 330’’). Pursuant to ASC 330, manufacturer incentives based upon cumulative volume of sales and purchases are recorded as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales when the amounts are probable and reasonably estimable.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of any revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to inventory mark downs, certain assumptions related to intangible and long-lived assets, share based compensation, valuation of acquisition contingent consideration and accruals for expenses relating to business operations.

Segment Information

As of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had 1 operating segment, marine retail. The marine retail segment consists of the sale of new and pre-owned boats, arrangement of finance and insurance products, performance of repair and maintenance services and offering marine related parts and accessories. The marine retail business has discrete financial information and is regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as its CODM. The Company has determined its marine retail operating segment is its reporting unit and is also the reportable segment.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements
 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The pronouncement is effective for a public company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted the new guidance in fiscal first quarter 2022. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement.



In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform”, which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The guidance provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. The guidance is effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the LIBOR transition and this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.


In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which is intended to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The pronouncement is effective for a public company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt the pronouncement in fiscal year 2024.

4.Acquisitions
 

The results of operations of acquisitions are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The purchase price of acquisitions is allocated to identifiable tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with the excess being allocated to goodwill. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on information currently available. For the fiscal first quarter 2022 acquisitions of Quality Boats, Denison Yachting and YakGear, the valuation of tangible assets, assumed liabilities and identifiable intangible assets are preliminary as the acquisitions are subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments and certain valuations are not complete. Any changes to the value of identifiable intangible assets will be reclassified from goodwill upon the completion of the valuations.

The estimated payments of contingent consideration are part of multiple earnouts varying from the achievement of certain post-acquisition increases in adjusted EBITDA of the Company to the generation of acquisition leads for the Company. The acquisition contingent consideration was developed using weighted average projections based on the Company’s historical experience, current forecasts for the industry and current expectations of the ability to generate viable acquisition leads. There are 0The minimum payoutspayout on the acquisition contingent consideration is $5.9 million and the maximum payout is $18.8$24.7 million.

Effective October 1, 2021, interest on new boats and for rental units is calculated using the Adjusted 30-Day Average SOFR (as defined in the Inventory Financing Facility) (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin of 2.75% to 5.00% depending on the age of the inventory. Interest on pre-owned boats is calculated at the new boat rate plus 0.25%. Wells Fargo will finance 100.0% of the vendor invoice price for new boats, engines and trailers. As of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 the interest rate on the Inventory Financing Facility ranged from 2.91%3.95% to 5.16%6.20% for new inventory and 3.16%4.20% to 5.41%6.45% for pre-owned inventory. As of September 30, 2021 the interest rate on the Inventory Financing Facility was calculated under the legacy London Inter-Bank Offering Rate and ranged from 3.08% to 5.33% for new inventory and 3.33% to 5.58% for pre-owned inventory. Borrowing capacity available at December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $304.4$282.7 million and $278.3 million, respectively.




The Inventory Financing Facility has certain financial and non-financial covenants as specified in the agreement. The financial covenants include requirements to comply with a maximum Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Inventory Financing Facility) as well as a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Inventory Financing Facility). In addition, certain non-financial covenants could restrict the Company’s ability to sell assets (excluding inventory in the normal course of business), engage in certain mergers and acquisitions, incur additional debt and pay cash dividends or distributions, among others. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2021.
June 30, 2022.



The collateral for the Inventory Financing Facility consists primarily of our inventory that is financed through the Inventory Financing Facility and related assets, including accounts receivable, bank accounts and proceeds of the foregoing, and excludes the collateral that underlies the term note payable to Truist Bank.

8.Long-term Debt and Line of Credit


On November 30, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Incremental Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Facility.Facility (as defined below) with Truist Bank.

9.Stockholders’ and Members’ Equity
 
Equity-Based Compensation



We maintain the OneWater Marine Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) to incentivize individuals providing services to OneWater Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The LTIP provides for the grant, from time to time, at the discretion of the board of directors of OneWater Marine Inc. (the “Board”) or a committee thereof, of (1) stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) restricted stock, (4) restricted stock units, (5) stock awards, (6) dividend equivalents, (7) other stock-based awards, (8) cash awards, (9) substitute awards and (10) performance awards. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the LTIP that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options (which generally are stock options that meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code) is 1,528,224.1,556,307. The LTIP is and will continue to be administered by the Board, except to the extent the Board elects a committee of directors to administer the LTIP. Class A common stock subject to an award that expires or is cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares (including forfeiture of restricted stock awards) and shares withheld to pay the exercise price of, or to satisfy the withholding obligations with respect to, an award will again be available for delivery pursuant to other awards under the LTIP.


During the threenine months ended December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, the Board approved the grant of 52,227 performance-based restricted stock units, which represents 100% of the target award. Performance-based restricted stock units provide an opportunity for the recipient to receive a number of shares of our common stock based on our performance during fiscal year 2022 as measured against objective performance goals as determined by the Board. The actual number of units earned may range from 0% to 200% of the target number of units depending upon achievement of the performance goals. Performance-based restricted stock units vest in 3 equal annual installments, commencing on September 30, 2022. Upon vesting, each performance-based restricted stock unit equals 1 share of common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, the Company estimated achievement of the performance targets at 100%200%.


During the threenine months ended December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, the Board approved the grant of 105,880121,470 time-based restricted stock units. 13,06214,186 restricted stock units fully vest on September 30, 2022, 12,000 restricted stock units fully vest on April 20, 2023 and the remaining 92,81895,284 restricted stock units vest in 3 equal annual installments commencing on September 30, 2022.



Compensation cost for time-based restricted stock units is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date immediately preceding the grant and is recognized on a graded basis over the applicable vesting periods. Compensation cost for performance share units is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date immediately preceding the grant and the ultimate performance level achieved and is recognized on a graded basis over the three-yearapplicable vesting period. The Company recognized $2.1$2.5 million and $1.1 million of compensation expense for the three months ended December 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, which includes $1.0$1.3 million and $0.4$0.6 million of compensation expense for the three months ended December 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, for performance share units. The Company recognized $7.3 million and $3.3 million of compensation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which includes $4.0 million and $1.3 million of compensation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for performance share units.

We issue shares of our Class A common stock upon the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units. These shares are issued from our authorized and not outstanding common stock. In addition, in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units, we repurchase a portion of shares issued equal to the amount of employee income tax withholding.


Earnings Per Share


Basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to OneWater Inc. by the weighted-average number of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares.

On March 30, 2022, the Board approved an up to $50 million share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2022, 0 shares had been repurchased under the program. The repurchase program does not have a predetermined expiration date.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

At the CompanysCompany’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), held on February 23, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the OneWater Marine Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was approved and adopted by the Board as of January 13, 2021 (the “Adoption Date”), subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The effective date of the ESPP is February 23, 2021, and, unless earlier terminated, the ESPP will expire on the twentieth anniversary of the Adoption Date. The ESPP will be administered by the Board or by one or more committees to which the Board delegates such administration.



TheThe ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount through participation in discrete offering periods. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Up to a maximum of 299,505 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock may be issued under the ESPP, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the ESPP. On the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the ESPP, beginning on October 1, and ending on (and including) September 30, the number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the ESPP will increase by a number of shares equal to the least of (i) 1% of the outstanding shares on the Adoption Date, or (ii) such lesser number of shares (including zero) that the administrator determines for purposes of the annual increase for that fiscal year. The number of shares of Class A common stock that may be granted to any single participant in any single option period will be subject to certain limitations set forth in the plan. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, there has not yet been an offering period under the ESPP.
The first offering period under the ESPP began on July 1, 2022.

Distributions


During the threenine months ended December 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company made distributions to OneWater Unit Holders for certain permitted tax payments.

10.Fair Value Measurements


In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches including market, income and/or cost approaches. FASB standard ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ (Topic 820) establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Company’s expectation of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:



Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Assets utilizing Level 1 inputs include marketable securities that are actively traded.



Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.



Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Asset and liability measurements utilizing Level 3 inputs include those used in estimating fair value of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in purchase acquisitions, those used in assessing impairment of property, plant and equipment and other intangibles, those used in the reporting unit valuation in the annual goodwill impairment evaluation and those used in the valuation of contingent consideration.



The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment required in determining fair value is greatest for assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair value measurements can be volatile based on various factors that may or may not be within the Company’s control.



The following tables summarize the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 20212021:

There were 0no transfers between the valuation hierarchy Levels 1, 2, and 3 for the three or nine months ended December 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021.



We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model based on forecasted future earnings or forecasted probabilities of producing acquisition leads. The acquisition contingent consideration liability has been accounted for based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (Level 3). The contingent consideration balance is recorded in other payables and accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value and net present value of contingent consideration are included in change in fair value of contingent consideration in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of contingent consideration is reassessed on a quarterly basis.

11.Income Taxes


The Company is a corporation and, as a result is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. OneWater LLC is treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal tax purposes and in most state and local jurisdictions. As such, OneWater LLC’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal and state income taxes on their respective shares of OneWater LLC’s taxable income.



Our effective tax rates of 17.2%22.6% and 17.6%21.9% for the three and nine months ending December 31, 2021 and 2020,June 30, 2022, respectively, differ from statutory rates primarily due to earnings allocated to non-controlling interests.


The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. Based on our cumulative earnings history and forecasted future sources of taxable income, we believe that we will fully realize our deferred tax assetassets in the future. The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance.


As of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company has not recognized any uncertain tax positions, penalties, or interest as management has concluded that no such positions exist. The Company is subject to examination in the US Federal and certain state tax jurisdictions for the tax years beginning with the year ended September 30, 2020. The Company is not currently under an income tax audit in any U.S. or state jurisdiction for any tax year.

Tax Receivable Agreement
 

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with certain of the owners of OneWater LLC. As of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, our liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $46.2 million and $40.1 million, respectively, representing 85% of the calculated net cash savings in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that OneWater Inc. anticipates realizing in future years from the result of certain increases in tax basis and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest as a result of OneWater Inc.’s acquisition of OneWater LLC Units pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right (each as defined in the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of OneWater LLC (the “OneWater LLC Agreement”)).
 

The projection of future taxable income involves significant judgment. Actual taxable income may differ from our estimates, which could significantly impact our ability to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We have determined it is more-likely-than-not that we will be able to utilize all of our deferred tax assets subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement; therefore, we have recorded a liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement related to the tax savings we may realize from certain increases in tax basis and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest as a result of OneWater Inc.’s acquisition of OneWater LLC Units pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or Call Right (each as defined in the OneWater LLC Agreement). If we determine the utilization of these deferred tax assets is not more-likely-than-not in the future, our estimate of amounts to be paid under the Tax Receivable Agreement would be reduced. In this scenario, the reduction of the liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement would result in a benefit to our consolidated statements of operations.

12.Contingencies and Commitments
 
Employment Agreements

The Company is party to employment agreements with certain executives, which provide for compensation, other benefits and severance payments under certain circumstances. The Company also has consulting and noncompete agreements in place with previous owners of acquired companies.


Claims and Litigation



The Company is involved in various legal proceedings as either the defendant or plaintiff. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between the affected parties and other actions. Management assesses the probability of losses or gains for such contingencies and accrues a liability and/or discloses the relevant circumstances as appropriate. In the opinion of management, it is not reasonably probable that the pending litigation, disputes or claims against the Company, if decided adversely, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, based on the Company’s review of the various types of claims currently known, there is no indication of a material reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued. The Company currently does not anticipate that any known claim will materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. However, the outcome of any matter cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters presently known or arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Risk Management



The Company is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions and natural disasters for which the Company carries commercial insurance. There have been no significant reductions in coverage from the prior year and settlements have not exceeded coverage in the past years.

13.Leases
  

The Company leases real estate and equipment under operating lease agreements. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with terms in excess of 12 months, we record a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We do not have any significant leases that have not yet commenced that create significant rights and obligations for us. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for all leases that qualify.



Our real estate and equipment leases often require payment of maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance. These costs are generally variable and based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. These amounts are not included in the consideration of the contract when determining the ROU asset and lease liability but are reflected as variable lease payments.



Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from one to ten or more years. The exercise of the lease renewal option is typically at our sole discretion. If it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option to renew, the period covered by the options are included in the lease term and are recognized as part of our ROU assets and lease liabilities. Certain leases include the option to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, which includes renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised.



Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically based on index rates. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to OneWater Marine Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those factors discussed above in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 17, 2021, all of which are difficult to predict.

Overview
 
We believe that we are one of the largest and fastest-growing marine retailers in the United States with 7596 retail locations, 810 distribution centers/warehouses and multiple online marketplaces as of December 31, 2021.June 30, 2022. Our retail locations are located in highly attractive markets throughout the Southeast, Gulf Coast, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, many of which are in top twenty states for marine retail expenditures. We believe that we are a market leader by volume in sales of premium boats in 13 out of the 18 markets in which we operate. In fiscal year 2021, we sold approximately 9,500 new and pre-owned boats, many of which were sold to customers who had a trade-in or with whom we had otherwise established relationships. The combination of our significant scale, diverse inventory and revenue streams, access to premium boat brands and meaningful brand equity enable us to provide a consistently professional experience as reflected in the number of our repeat customers and same-store sales growth.
 
We were formed in 2014 as One Water Marine Holdings, LLC (“OneWater LLC”) through the combination of Singleton Marine and Legendary Marine, which created a marine retail platform that collectively owned and operated 19 retail locations. Since the combination in 2014, we have acquired a total of 5575 additional retail locations, 810 distribution centers/warehouses and multiple online marketplaces through 2629 acquisitions. Our current portfolio of companies, as of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022, consists of multiple brands which are recognized on a local, regional or national basis. Because of this, we believe we are one of the largest and fastest-growing premium recreational marine retailers in the United States based on number of stores and total boats sold. While we have opportunistically opened new locations in select markets, we believe that it is generally more effective economically and operationally to acquire existing locations with experienced staff and established reputations.
 
The marine retail industry is highly fragmented, as evidenced by the over 4,000 boat dealers nationwide. Most competing boat retailers offer new boat sales, pre-owned boat sales, finance and& insurance products, repair and maintenance services, and parts and accessories and are operated by local business owners with three or fewer stores. Despite our size, we comprise less than 3% of total industry sales. Our scale and business model allow us to leverage our extensive inventory to provide consumers with the ability to find a boat that matches their preferences (e.g., make, model, color, configuration and other options) and to deliver the boat within days while providing a personalized sales experience. We are able to operate with a comparatively higher degree of profitability than other independent retailers because we allocate support resources across our store base, focus on high-margin products and services, utilize floor plan financing and provide core back-office functions on a scale that many independent retailers are unable to match. We seek to be the leading boat retailer by total market share within each boating market and within the product segments in which we participate. To the extent that we are not, we will evaluate acquiring other local retailers in order to increase our sales, to add additional brands or to provide us with additional high-quality personnel.

Impact of COVID-19
 
The COVID-19 pandemic and its related effects, including restraints on U.S. economic and leisure activities, has and may continue to have a significant impact on our operations and financial condition. National, state and local governments in affected regions have implemented and may continue to implement safety precautions, including shelter in place orders, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings, including boat shows, and other measures. At times, these measures have affected our ability to sell and service boats, required us to temporarily close or partially close certain locations and may require additional closures in the future. In light of the current environment, our sales team members are fully engaged with customers and are providing them with virtual walkthroughs of inventory and/or private, at home or on water, showings, while our service departments are working hard to deliver boats and keep customers on the water.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic and its related effects have, to date, positively impacted our sales as more customers desire to engage in outdoor recreational activities that can be enjoyed close to first or second homes, in a socially distanced manner. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has also caused significant supply chain challenges as suppliers were, and continue to be, faced with business closures and shipping delays. This has led to an industry wide inventory shortage of boats, engines and certain marine parts. The COVID-19 pandemic and its related effects may continue to interfere with the ability of our employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, and other business partners to perform our and their respective responsibilities and obligations with respect to the operation of our business.

While we continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, our financial results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 suggest that spending in all our regions and across product lines has proven resilient despite the challenges posed by the pandemic as customers have continued to focus on socially distanced outdoor recreations. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains uncertain and dependent on various factors including consumer demand, a possible resurgence of COVID-19, including variants of the virus in certain geographic areas, our ability to safely operate stores and the existence and extent of a prolonged economic downturn.

Trends and Other Factors Impacting Our Performance
 
Acquisitions
 
We are a highly acquisitive company. Since the combination of Singleton Marine and Legendary Marine in 2014, we have acquired a total of 5575 additional retail locations, 810 distribution centers/warehouses and multiple online marketplaces through 2629 acquisitions. Our team remains focused on expanding our retail locations in regions with strong boating cultures, enhancing the customer experience, and generating value for our shareholders. Additionally, we continue to evaluate acquisitions of companies who focus primarily on parts and accessory sales, further strengthening that area of our business.
 
We have an extensive acquisition track record within the marine retail industry and believe we have developed a reputation for treating sellers and their staff in an honest and fair manner. We typically retain the management team and name of the acquired group. We believe this practice preserves the acquired dealer’sretailer’s customer relationships and goodwill in the local marketplace. We believe our reputation and scale have positioned us as a buyer of choice for marine retailers who want to sell their businesses. To date, 100% of our acquisitions have been sourced from inbound inquiries, and the number of annual inquiries we receive has consistently increased over time. Our strategy is to acquire stores at attractive EBITDA multiples and then grow same-store sales while benefitting from cost-reducing synergies. Historically, we have typically acquired dealer groups for less than 4.0x EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis and believe that we will be able to continue to make attractive acquisitions within this range.
 
General Economic Conditions
 
General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments or uncertainties, including the adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including supply chain constraints, or a prolonged economic downturn, could reduce consumer spending and adversely affect our business. Consumer spending on discretionary goods may also decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, higher interest rates or higher fuel costs, even if prevailing economic conditions are otherwise favorable. Economic conditions in areas in which we operate stores, particularly in the Southeast, can have a major impact on our overall results of operations. Local influences, such as corporate downsizing and inclement weather such as hurricanes and other storms, environmental conditions, global public health concerns and events could adversely affect our operations in certain markets and in certain periods. Any extended period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence is likely to have a negative effect on our business.
 
Our business was significantly impacted during the recessionary period that began in 2007. This period of weakness in consumer spending and depressed economic conditions had a substantial negative effect on our operating results. In response to these conditions we reduced our inventory purchases, closed certain stores and reduced headcount. Additionally, in an effort to counteract the downturn, we increased our focus on pre-owned sales, parts and repair services, and finance and insurance services. As a result, we surpassed our pre-recession sales levels in less than 24 months. While we believe the measures we took significantly reduced the impact of the downturn on the business, we cannot guarantee similar results in the event of a future downturn. Additionally, we cannot predict the timing or length of unfavorable economic or industry conditions, including a downturn as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the extent to which they could adversely affect our operating results.
 
Although past economic conditions have adversely affected our operating results, we believe we are capable of responding in a manner that allows us to substantially outperform the industry and gain market share. We believe our ability to capture such market share enables us to align our retail strategies with the desires of customers. We expect our core strengths, including retail and acquisition strategies, will allow us to capitalize on growth opportunities as they occur, despite market conditions.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, each as of the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates their estimates and assumptions, and the effects of any such revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. Actual outcomes could differ materially from those estimates in a manner that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Set forth below are the policies and estimates that we have identified as critical to our business operations and understanding our results of operations, based on the high degree of judgment or complexity in their application.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized from the sale of products and commissions earned on new and pre-owned boats (including used, brokerage, consignment and wholesale) when ownership is transferred to the customer, which is generally upon acceptance by or delivery to the customer. At the time of acceptance or delivery, the customer is able to direct the use of the product and obtain substantially all of the benefits at such time. We are the principal with respect to revenue from new, pre-owned and consignment sales and such revenue is recorded at the gross sales price. With respect to brokerage transactions, we are acting as an agent in the transaction, therefore the fee or commission is recorded on a net basis.

Revenue from parts and accessories sold directly to a customer (not on a repair order) are recognized when control of the items is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment. Revenue from parts and service operations (boat maintenance and repairs) is recorded over time as services are performed. Satisfaction of this performance obligation creates an asset with no alternative use for which an enforceable right to payment for performance to date exists within our contractual agreements. Each boat maintenance and repair service is a single performance obligation that includes both the parts and labor associated with the service. Payment for boat maintenance and repairs is typically due upon the completion of the service, which is generally completed within a period of one year or less from contract inception. The Company recorded contract assets in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $3.0$3.8 million and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Revenue from parts and accessories sold directly to a customer (not on a repair order) are recognized when control of the items is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment.

Deferred revenue from storage and marina operations is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract as services are completed. Revenue from arranging financing, insurance and extended warranty contracts to customers through various third-party financial institutions and insurance companies is recognized when the related boats are sold. We do not directly finance our customers’ boat, motor or trailer purchases. We are acting as an agent in the transaction, therefore the commissions are recorded on a net basis. Subject to our agreements and in the event of early cancellation, prepayment or default of such loans or insurance contracts by the customer, we may be assessed a chargeback for a portion of the commission paid by the third-party financial institutions and insurance companies. We reserve for these chargebacks based on our historical experience with repayments or defaults. Chargebacks were not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021.June 30, 2022.

Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of new and pre-owned boat inventory is determined using the specific identification method. New and pre-owned boat sales histories indicatedhistory indicates that the overwhelming majority of such boats are sold for, or in excess of, the cost to purchase those boats. In assessing the lower of cost or net realizable value, we consider the aging of the boats, historical sales of a particular product and current market conditions. There are inherent uncertainties in assessing net realizable value as management must make assumptions and apply judgment to changes in the market, brands and other factors that drive consumer preferences and spending. We typically do not maintain a boat inventory reserve. The cost of manufactured and assembled parts and accessories is determined using standard costing. The cost of acquired parts and accessories is determined using the weighted average cost method. Inventory is reported net of write downs for obsolete and slow moving items of approximately $1.5 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.2021, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
In accordance with ASC 350, we review goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, if the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the difference would represent the amount of required goodwill impairment in accordance with ASC 350. To the extent the reporting unit’s earnings decline significantly or there are changes in one or more of these inputs that would result in a lower valuation, it could cause the carrying value of the reporting unit to exceed its fair value and thus require the Company to record goodwill impairment.
 
The quantitative goodwill impairment test requires a determination of whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We estimate the fair value of our reporting unit using an “income” valuation approach, which discounts projected free cash flows of the reporting unit at a computed weighted average cost of capital as the discount rate. The income valuation approach requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, which include revenue growth rates and future operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, weighted average costs of capital, and future economic and market conditions. In connection with this process, we also reconcile the estimated aggregate fair value of our reporting unit to our market capitalization, including consideration of a control premium that represents the estimated amount an investor would pay for our equity securities to obtain a controlling interest. We believe that this reconciliation process is consistent with a market participant perspective. We base our cash flow forecasts on our knowledge of the industry, our recent performance, our expectations of our future performance, and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates.
Identifiable intangible assets consist of trade names, design libraries and customer relationships related to the acquisitions we have completed. We have determined that trade names have an indefinite life, as there are no economic, contractual or other factors that limit their useful lives and they are expected to generate value as long as the trade name is utilized by the dealer group,marine retailer, and therefore, are not subject to amortization. Design libraries and customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten years and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
 
The quantitative impairment test for trade namesImpairment testing requires the comparisonassessment of the trade names’ estimated fair valueboth qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to carrying value on an individual basis. Fair values of trade names are estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting expected future cash flows of the trade name. The forecasted cash flows contain inherent uncertainties, includingwhether there has been a significant estimates and assumptions, which include revenue growth rates and future operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, weighted average costs of capital, and future economic and market conditions, and other marketplace data we believe to be reasonable. Financial statement risk exists to the extent identifiable intangibles become impaired due to the decreaseor adverse change in the fairbusiness climate that could affect the value of an asset and/or significant or adverse changes in cash flow projections or earnings forecasts. These assessments require management to make judgements, assumptions and estimates. We did not perform impairment testing related to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for the identifiable assets.

nine months ended June 30, 2022 as no triggering events have occurred.
 
Business Combinations
 
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the date of the acquisition. Determination of the estimated fair value assigned to each asset acquired or liability assumed can materially impact the net income in subsequent periods through depreciation and amortization and potential impairment charges.
 
The most critical areas of judgment in applying the acquisition method include selecting the appropriate valuation techniques and assumptions that are used to measure the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value, particularly for inventory, acquisition contingent consideration, trade names, design libraries and goodwill.customer relationships. The fair value of acquired inventory is based on manufacturer invoice cost, curtailments, and market data. The significant estimates used to value acquisition contingent consideration are future earnings and discount rates. We apply an income approach forManagement estimated the fair value of the trade names which discountsand design libraries using the estimaterelief from royalty method and customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method. The fair value determination of the trade names and design libraries required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future net cash flow using an appropriaterevenues and the selection of the royalty rate and discount rate. The fair value determination of the customer relationships required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future revenues attributable to existing customers, future EBITDA margins and the selection of the customer attrition rate that reflects the risks associated with such projected future cash flow.and discount rate.
 
24

In selecting the techniques and assumptions noted above, we generally engage third-party, independent valuation professionals to assist us in developing the assumptions and applying the valuation techniques to a particular business combination transaction. In particular, the discount rates selected are compared to and evaluated with (i) the industry weighted-average cost of capital, (ii) the inherent risks associated with each type of asset and (iii) the level and timing of future cash flows appropriately reflecting market participant assumptions.

How We Evaluate Our Operations
 
Revenue
 
We have a diversified revenue profile that is comprised of new boat sales, pre-owned boat sales, F&I products, repair and maintenance services, and parts and accessories. During different phases of the economic cycle, consumer behavior may shift away from new boats; however, we are well-positioned to benefit from revenue from pre-owned boats, repair and maintenance services, and parts and accessories, which have all historically increased during periods of economic uncertainty. We generate pre-owned sales from boats traded-in for new and pre-owned boats, boats purchased from consumers, brokerage transactions, consignment sales and wholesale sales. We continue to focus on all aspects of our business including non-boat sales of finance & insurance products, repair and maintenance services, and parts and accessories. Although non-boat sales contributed 13.9%16.5% and 11.1% to revenue in the three months ended December 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 2020,16.1% and 10.8% to revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, due to the higher gross margin on these product and service lines, non-boat sales contributed 26.3%28.4% and 28.6%24.7% to gross profit in the three months ended December 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 2020,28.1% and 25.8% to gross profit in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We have also diversified our business across geographies and dealership types (e.g., fresh water and salt water) in order to reduce the effects of seasonality. In addition to seasonality, revenue and operating results may also be significantly affected by quarter-to-quarter changes in economic conditions, manufacturer incentive programs, adverse weather conditions and other developments outside of our control.

Gross Profit
 
We calculate gross profit as revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of actual amounts paid for products, costs of services (primarily labor), transportation costs from manufacturers to our retail stores and vendor consideration. Gross profit excludes depreciation and amortization, which is presented separately in our consolidated statements of operations.
 
Gross Profit Margin
 
Our overall gross profit margin varies with our revenue mix. Sales of new and pre-owned boats, which have comparable margins, generally result in a lower gross profit margin than our non-boat sales. As a result, when revenue from non-boat sales increases as a percentage of total revenue, we expect our overall gross profit margin to increase.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative (‘‘SG&A’’) expenses consist primarily of salaries and incentive-based compensation, advertising, rent, insurance, utilities, and other customary operating expenses. A portion of our cost structure is variable (such as sales commissions and incentive compensation), or controllable (such as advertising), which we believe allows us to adapt to changes in the retail environment over the long term. We typically evaluate our variable expenses, selling expenses and all other SG&A expenses in the aggregate as a percentage of total revenue.
 
24

Same-Store Sales

We 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. 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. Because same-store sales may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.
 
Adjusted EBITDA
 
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income 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 fair value of warrant liability, change in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs. See ‘‘—Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measure’’ for more information and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Summary of Acquisitions
 
The comparability of our results of operations between the periods discussed below is naturally affected by the acquisitions we have completed during such periods. We are also continuously evaluating and pursuing acquisitions on an ongoing basis, and such acquisitions, if completed, will continue to impact the comparability of our financial results. While we expect continued growth and strategic acquisitions in the future, our acquisitions may have materially different characteristics than our historical results, and such differences in economics may impact the comparability of our future results of operations to our historical results.

Our accounting predecessor, OneWater LLC, was and is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as such, was generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Rather, the tax liability with respect to its taxable income is passed through to its members. Accordingly, the financial data attributable to our predecessor contains no provision for U.S. federal income taxes or income taxes in any state or locality. OneWater Inc. was subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes at an estimated blended statutory rate of 24.0%24.4% of pre-tax earnings for the threenine months ended December 31, 2021.June 30, 2022.

As we further implement controls, processes and infrastructure applicable to companies with publicly traded equity securities, it is likely that we will incur additional SG&A expenses relative to historical periods. Our future results will depend on our ability to efficiently manage our combined operations and execute our business strategy.

Revenue
 
Overall, revenue increased by $122.2$164.7 million, or 57.1%40.7%, to $336.3$568.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 from $214.1$404.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.June 30, 2021. Revenue generated from same-store sales increased 27.9%12.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020,June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in the average selling price of new andboats, the number of pre-owned boats sold, the model mix of boats sold, an increase in finance & insurance sales and an increase in service, parts and other sales. Overall revenue increased by $122.2$164.7 million as a result of a $59.6$48.7 million increase in same-store sales and a $62.6$116.0 million increase from stores not eligible for inclusion in the same-store sales base. 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.

New Boat Sales
 
New boat sales increased by $84.4$88.7 million, or 55.6%30.8%, to $236.2$376.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 from $151.8$288.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to our same-store sales growth, our acquisitions and an increase in our average unit price. We believe the increase in sales was primarily due to continued execution of operational improvements on previously acquired dealers, the mix of boat brands and models sold, and product improvements in the functionality of technology of boats which drove average unit prices higher. New boat unit sales for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 were flat due to industry-wide inventory and supply chain constraints.

Pre-owned Boat Sales
 
Pre-owned boat sales increased by $14.9$27.1 million, or 38.5%38.1%, to $53.4$98.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 from $38.6$71.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.June 30, 2021. We sell a wide range of brands and sizes of pre-owned boats under different types of sales arrangements (e.g., trade-ins, brokerage, consigned and wholesale), which causes periodic and seasonal fluctuations in the average sales price. Pre-owned boat unitThe increase was primarily attributable to our same-store sales forgrowth, our acquisitions and an increase in the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 were flat due to industry-wide supply constraints. The average sales price per pre-owned unit for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased largely due to the mixnumber of pre-owned products, the composition of the brands and models sold during the period as well as the industry-wide supply restrictions.units sold.

Finance & Insurance Income
 
We generate revenue from arranging finance & insurance products, including financing, insurance and extended warranty contracts, to customers through various third-party financial institutions and insurance companies. Finance & insurance income increased by $3.3$3.7 million, or 56.1%24.6%, to $9.3$19.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 from $6.0$15.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily a result ofdue to the increase in same-store sales.additional new and pre-owned boat revenues. We remain very focused on improving sales of finance & insurance products throughout our dealer network and implementing best practices at acquired dealer groups and existing stores. Finance & insurance products held steadydecreased slightly as a percentage of total revenue at 2.8%to 3.3% in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.June 30, 2022 from 3.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Finance & insurance income is recorded net of related fees, including fees charged back due to any early cancellation of loan or insurance contracts by a customer. Since finance & insurance income is fee-based, we do not incur any related cost of sale.

Service, Parts & Other Sales
 
Service, parts & other sales increased by $19.6$45.2 million, or 110.7%152.6%, to $37.3$74.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 from $17.7$29.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.June 30, 2021. The increase in service, parts & other sales is primarily due to the contributions from our recently acquired businesses as well as increases across the board in labor, parts, fuel and storage sales, driven by ancillary sales generated from our increase in new and pre-owned boat sales and the impact of our 2021 and 2022 Acquisitions.sales.
 
Gross Profit
 
Overall, gross profit increased by $48.5$57.0 million, or 92.5%44.9%, to $101.0$183.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 from $52.4$127.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to our overall increase in same-store sales which was driven by increases in all revenue streams, the impact of the 2022 Acquisitions and the Company’s focus on dynamic pricing. Overall gross margins increased 90 basis points to 32.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 31.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to the factors noted below.
New Boat Gross Profit
New boat gross profit increased by $25.3 million, or 32.8%, to $102.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $77.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to our overall increase in same-store sales as well as the impact of the 2022 Acquisitions. New boat gross profit as a percentage of new boat revenue was 27.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 26.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in new boat gross profit and gross profit margin is due primarily to a shift in the mix and size of boat models sold, the margin profile of recently acquired locations and our emphasis on expanding new boat gross profit margins amid the industry wide inventory and supply chain constraints.

Pre-owned Boat Gross Profit
Pre-owned boat gross profit increased by $10.9 million, or 58.7%, to $29.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $18.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in pre-owned gross profit was driven by the increase in pre-owned revenue as a result of our same-store sales growth and the impact of the 2022 Acquisitions. Pre-owned boat gross profit as a percentage of pre-owned boat revenue was 30.0% and 26.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We sell a wide range of brands and sizes of pre-owned boats under different types of sales arrangements (e.g., trade-ins, brokerage, consignment and wholesale), which may cause periodic and seasonal fluctuations in pre-owned boat gross profit as a percentage of revenue. The increase in our gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Denison Yachting which led to an increase in brokerage sales and gross profit.

Finance & Insurance Gross Profit
Finance & insurance gross profit increased by $3.7 million, or 24.6%, to $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $15.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Finance & insurance income is fee-based revenue for which we do not recognize incremental cost of sale.
Service, Parts & Other Gross Profit
Service, parts & other gross profit increased by $17.1 million, or 106.3%, to $33.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Service, parts & other gross profit as a percentage of service, parts & other revenue was 44.3% and 54.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of our same-store sales growth as well as contributions from the 2022 Acquisitions. The decrease in gross profit margin percentage was primarily due to a shift in the mix of products sold towards parts & accessories which has a lower margin percentage than service and other sales.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
Selling, general & administrative expenses increased by $27.4 million, or 45.3%, to $87.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $60.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to expenses incurred to support the overall increase in revenues and gross profit. The selling, general & administrative increase primarily consisted of a $17.0 million increase in personnel expenses. Selling, general & administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 15.4% from 15.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to higher marketing expenses, as well as higher administrative costs.
28

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.6 million, or 176.1%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to a $2.1 million increase in amortization of design libraries and customer relationships from the 2022 Acquisitions.

Transaction Costs
The increase in transaction costs of $1.3 million to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to expenses related to the 2022 Acquisitions and the OBCI Acquisitions.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred expenses of $3.1 million related to updated forecasts and accretion of contingent consideration liabilities for acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2021 and 2022.

Income from Operations
Income from operations increased $22.6 million, or 34.8%, to $87.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $64.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the $57.0 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by a $27.4 million increase in selling, general & administrative expenses during the same periods.

Interest Expense – Floor Plan
Interest expense – floor plan increased $0.2 million to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in floor plan interest expense was primarily attributable to the increase in average inventory for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, as well as rising interest rates.
Interest Expense – Other
Interest expense – other increased by $2.2 million, or 205.7%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in interest expense – other was related to the increase in our long-term debt which was used to fund certain of the 2022 Acquisitions.
Other Expense (Income), Net
Other income was flat at $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increased $7.3 million, or 63.4%, to $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the 32.1% increase in income before income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021 as well as the increased proportion of consolidated income before income tax expense that is allocated to OneWater Marine Inc. and therefore taxable due to exchanges of shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock.

Net Income
Net income increased by $12.9 million to $64.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $51.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the $57.0 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by the $27.4 million increase in selling, general & administrative expenses and $7.3 million increase in income tax expense compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Revenue
Overall, revenue increased by $399.4 million, or 42.1%, to $1,347.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from $947.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Revenue generated from same-store sales increased 14.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in the average selling price of new boats, an increase in pre-owned unit sales, the model mix of boats sold, an increase in finance & insurance sales and an increase in service, parts and other sales. Overall revenue increased by $399.4 million as a result of a $134.7 million increase in same-store sales and a $264.7 million increase from stores not eligible for inclusion in the same-store sales base. 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.
New Boat Sales
New boat sales increased by $223.4 million, or 32.9%, to $903.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from $679.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to our same-store sales growth, our acquisitions and an increase in our average unit price. We believe the increase in sales was primarily due to continued execution of operational improvements on previously acquired dealers, the mix of boat brands and models sold, and product improvements in the functionality of technology of boats which drove average unit prices higher.
Pre-owned Boat Sales
Pre-owned boat sales increased by $61.7 million, or 37.2%, to $227.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from $165.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. We sell a wide range of brands and sizes of pre-owned boats under different types of sales arrangements (e.g., trade-ins, brokerage, consigned and wholesale), which causes periodic and seasonal fluctuations in the average sales price. Pre-owned revenue increased primarily due to growth in unit sales.

Finance & Insurance Income
We generate revenue from arranging finance & insurance products, including financing, insurance and extended warranty contracts, to customers through various third-party financial institutions and insurance companies. Finance & insurance income increased by $10.2 million, or 31.1%, to $43.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from $33.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the additional new and pre-owned boat revenues. We remain very focused on improving sales of finance & insurance products throughout our dealer network and implementing best practices at acquired dealer groups and existing stores. Finance & insurance products decreased slightly as a percentage of total revenue to 3.2% in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from 3.5% in the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Finance & insurance income is recorded net of related fees, including fees charged back due to any early cancellation of loan or insurance contracts by a customer. Since finance & insurance income is fee-based, we do not incur any related cost of sale.

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
 
We view Adjusted EBITDA as an important indicator of performance. 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 fair value of warrant liability, change in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs.

28

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, change in fair value of contingent consideration, gain (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. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You are encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in the future, and any such modification may be material. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.
 
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA was $202.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $122.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from our 14.2% increase in same-store sales growth for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the impact of the 2021 Acquisitions and 2022 Acquisitions and our ability to increase gross profit margins and control selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
Seasonality
 
Our business, along with the entire recreational boating industry, is highly seasonal, and such seasonality varies by geographic market. With the exception of Florida, we generally realize significantly lower sales and higher levels of inventories, and related floor plan borrowings, in the quarterly periods ending December 31 and March 31. Revenue generated from our stores in Florida serves to offset generally lower winter revenue in our other states and enables us to maintain a more consistent revenue stream. The onset of the public boat and recreation shows in January stimulates boat sales and typically allows us to reduce our inventory levels and related floor plan borrowings throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. The impact of seasonality on our results of operations could be materially impacted based on the location of our acquisitions. For example, our operations could be substantially more seasonal if we acquire dealer groups that operate in colder regions of the United States. Our business is also subject to weather patterns, which may adversely affect our results of operations. For example, prolonged winter conditions, reduced rainfall levels or excessive rain, may limit access to boating locations or render boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby curtailing customer demand for our products and services. In addition, unseasonably cool weather and prolonged winter conditions may lead to a shorter selling season in certain locations. Hurricanes and other storms could result in disruptions of our operations or damage to our boat inventories and facilities, as has been the case when Florida and other markets were affected by hurricanes. We believe our geographic diversity is likely to reduce the overall impact to us of adverse weather conditions in any one market area. Additionally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our seasonal trends may also change as a result of, among other things, store closures, disruptions to the supply chain and inventory availability, manufacturer delays, and cancellation of boat shows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview
 
OneWater Inc. is a holding company with no operations and is the sole managing member of OneWater LLC. OneWater Inc’s principal asset consists of common units of OneWater LLC. Our earnings and cash flows and ability to meet our obligations under the Credit Facility, and any other debt obligations will depend on the cash flows resulting from the operations of our operating subsidiaries, and the payment of distributions by such subsidiaries. Our Credit Facility and Inventory Financing Facility (described below) contain certain restrictions on distributions or transfers from our operating subsidiaries to their members or unitholders, as applicable, as described in the summaries below under “—Debt Agreements—Credit Facility” and “—Inventory Financing Facility.” Accordingly, the operating results of our subsidiaries may not be sufficient for them to make distributions to us. As a result, our ability to make payments under the Credit Facility and any other debt obligations or to declare dividends could be limited.
 
Our cash needs are primarily for growth through acquisitions and working capital to support our operations, including new and pre-owned boat and related parts inventories and off-season liquidity. We routinely monitor our cash flow to determine the amount of cash available to complete acquisitions. We monitor our inventories, inventory aging and current market trends to determine our current and future inventory and related floorplan financing needs. Based on current facts and circumstances, we believe we will have adequate cash flow from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facilitiescredit facilities and proceeds from any future public or private issuances of debt or equity to fund our current operations, to make share repurchases and to fund essential capital expenditures and acquisitions for the next twelve months and beyond.
 
Cash needs for acquisitions have historically been financed with our credit facilities including the Credit Facility and cash generated from operations. Our ability to utilize the Credit Facility to fund operations depends upon Adjusted EBITDA and compliance with covenants of the Credit Facility. Cash needs for inventory have historically been financed with our Inventory Financing Facility. Our ability to fund inventory purchases and operations depends on the collateral levels and our compliance with the covenants of the Inventory Financing Facility. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, we had liquidity in excess of $120 million and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and the Inventory Financing Facility.

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements, except for purchase commitments under supply agreements entered into in the normal course of business.

As of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, our indebtedness associated with financing our inventory under the Inventory Financing Facility totaled $195.6$217.3 million and $114.2 million, respectively. Certain of our manufacturers enter into independent agreements with the lenders to the Inventory Financing Facility, which results in a lower effective interest rate charged to us for borrowings related to the products by such manufacturer. As of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the effective interest rate on the outstanding short-term borrowings under the Inventory Financing Facility was 2.2%1.9% and 2.0%, respectively. As of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, our additional available borrowings under our Inventory Financing Facility were $304.4$282.7 million and $278.3 million, respectively, based upon the outstanding borrowings and the maximum facility amount. The aging of our inventory limits our borrowing capacity as defined curtailments reduce the allowable advance rate as our inventory ages.rate. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Inventory Financing Facility.
 
Notes Payable
 
Acquisition Notes Payable. In connection with certain of our acquisitions of dealer groups, we have entered into notes payable agreements with the acquired entities to finance these acquisitions. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, our indebtedness associated with our 42 acquisition notes payable totaled an aggregate of $7.3$3.2 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.1%5.0% per annum. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, the principal amount outstanding under these acquisition notes payable ranged from $1.1 million to $2.2$2.1 million, and the maturity dates ranged from FebruaryDecember 1, 20222023 to December 1, 2024.
 
Commercial Vehicles Notes Payable. Since 2015, we have entered into multiple notes payable with various commercial lenders in connection with our acquisition of certain vehicles utilized in our retail operations. Such notes bear interest ranging from 0.0% to 8.9% per annum, require monthly payments of approximately $103,000,$132,000, and mature on dates between FebruaryAugust 2022 to JuneJuly 2028. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, we had $3.2$3.9 million outstanding under the commercial vehicles notes payable.

Tax Receivable Agreement
 
The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by OneWater Inc. to certain of the OneWater Unit Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax (computed using the estimated impact of state and local taxes) that OneWater Inc. actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the IPO as a result of certain tax basis increases and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest. OneWater Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these net cash savings. To the extent OneWater LLC has available cash and subject to the terms of any current or future debt or other agreements, the OneWater LLC Agreement will require OneWater LLC to make pro rata cash distributions to OneWater Unit Holders, including OneWater Inc., in an amount sufficient to allow OneWater Inc. to pay its taxes and to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We generally expect OneWater LLC to fund such distributions out of available cash. However, except in cases where OneWater Inc. elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated early due to certain mergers or other changes of control or OneWater Inc. has available cash but fails to make payments when due, generally OneWater Inc. may elect to defer payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement if it does not have available cash to satisfy its payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or if its contractual obligations limit its ability to make these payments. Any such deferred payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will accrue interest. In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, OneWater Inc. realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In the case of such an acceleration, where applicable, we generally expect the accelerated payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement to be funded out of the proceeds of the change of control transaction giving rise to such acceleration. OneWater Inc. intends to account for any amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
Our Inventory Financing Facility exposes us to risks caused by fluctuations in interest rates. The interest rate on our Inventory Financing Facility for new boats is calculated using SOFR plus an applicable margin. Based on an outstanding balance of $195.6$217.3 million as of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, a change of 100 basis points in the underlying interest rate would have caused a change in interest expense of $2.0$2.2 million. We do not currently hedge our interest rate exposure. This hypothetical increase does not take into account a corresponding increase to the programs that we may receive from our manufacturers or management’s ability to curtail inventory and related floor plan balances, both of which would reduce the impact of the interest rate increase.
 
Our Credit Facility exposes us to risks caused by fluctuations in interest rates. The interest rate on our Credit Facility is calculated using the one-month LIBOR (with a 0.75% floor) plus an applicable margin. Based on an outstanding balance of $301.9$294.0 million and the one-month LIBOR as of December 31, 2021, an increaseJune 30, 2022, a change of 100 basis points in the underlying interest rate would have caused a change in interest expense of approximately $1.1$2.9 million. A basis points reduction in the underlying interest rate would not have caused a change in interest expense. We do not currently hedge our interest rate exposure.

Foreign Currency Risk
 
We purchase certain of our new boat and parts inventories from foreign manufacturers. Although we purchase our inventoriesmanufacturers and some of these transactions are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollars, ourdollar. Our business is subject to foreign exchange rate risk that may influence manufacturers’ ability to provide their products at competitive prices in the United States. From time to time we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain foreign currency exposures to lessen, but not completely eliminate, the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on our financial results. To the extent that we cannot recapture this volatility in prices charged to customers or if this volatility negatively impacts consumer demand for our products, this volatility could adversely affect our future operating results.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date. No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in all cases. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
 
Due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time, involved in other routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including workers’ compensation claims and employment related disputes. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In the opinion of our management, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims against us, if decided adversely, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
 
Item 1A.Risk Factors
 
In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on December 17, 2021, which could materially affect our businesses, financial condition, or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or future results. There
Other than the changes set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on December 17, 2021.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware law, contain provisions that could discourage acquisition bids or merger proposals, which may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock and could deprive our investors of the opportunity to receive a premium for their shares.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval in one or more series, designate the number of shares constituting any series, and fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption price or prices and liquidation preferences of such series. If our board of directors elects to issue preferred stock, it could be more difficult for a third party to acquire us. In addition, some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if the change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:
providing that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law or, if applicable, the rights of holders of a series of preferred stock, only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;
permitting any action by stockholders to be taken only at an annual meeting or special meeting rather than by a written consent of the stockholders, subject to the rights of any series of preferred stock with respect to such rights;
permitting special meetings of our stockholders to be called only by our Chief Executive Officer, the chairman of our board of directors and our board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships;
subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock, requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of all then outstanding common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, to remove any of all of the directors from office at any time;
prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;
establishing advance notice provisions for stockholder proposals and nominations for elections to the board of directors to be acted upon at meetings of stockholders;
providing that the board of directors is expressly authorized to adopt, or to alter or repeal our bylaws; and
On February 23, 2022, following shareholder approval at our 2022 annual meeting, we revised our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to eliminate our staggered board of directors and supermajority voting provisions.

In addition, certain change of control events have the effect of accelerating the payment due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which could be substantial and accordingly serve as a disincentive to a potential acquirer of our company. Please see “-In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, OneWater Inc. realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.”

The pending OBCI Acquisitions may not be consummated on a timely basis or at all. Failure to complete the OBCI Acquisitions within the expected timeframe or at all could adversely affect our stock price and our future business and financial results.
On June 21, 2022, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with OBCI, an equity purchase agreement with Peter G. Dornau and a real estate sales contract with PEJE, Inc., and certain other parties thereto in connection with the OBCI Acquisitions. We expect the OBCI Acquisitions to close in our fiscal fourth quarter of 2022. The OBCI Acquisitions are subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (ii) at least 20 calendar days having elapsed since OBCI mailed to its shareholders an information statement (as contemplated by Regulation 14C of the Exchange Act), (iii) the absence of legal restraints preventing the consummation of the Ocean Bio-Chem Acquisition, (iv) other customary conditions for a transaction of this type, and (v) the closing or satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions of the SB Europe Acquisition and the Real Estate Acquisition. If these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the OBCI Acquisitions will not be consummated. If the closing of the OBCI Acquisitions is substantially delayed or does not occur at all, or if the terms of the OBCI Acquisitions are required to be modified substantially, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the OBCI Acquisitions fully or at all or they may take longer to realize than expected. We have incurred and will continue to incur substantial transaction costs whether or not the OBCI Acquisitions are completed. Any failure to complete the OBCI Acquisitions could have a adverse effect on our stock price, our competitiveness and reputation in the marketplace, and our future business and financial results, including our ability to execute on our strategy.
The OBCI Acquisitions may require management to devote significant attention and resources to integrating the acquired businesses with our business.
The OBCI Acquisitions may require management to devote significant attention and resources to integrating the acquired businesses with our business. Delays or difficulties in the integration process could adversely affect our business, financial results, financial condition and stock price. Even if we are able to integrate our business operations successfully, there can be no assurance that this integration will result in the realization of the full benefits of synergies, cost savings, margin growth, insulation from cyclicality and operational efficiencies that we currently expect or have communicated from this integration or that these benefits will be achieved within the anticipated time frame.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.On March 30, 2022, the Board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50 million of outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made at any time or from time to time, without prior notice, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at prevailing market prices, or such other means as will comply with applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Rule 10b5-1 and, to the extent practicable or advisable, Rule 10b-18 thereunder, and consistent with the Company’s contractual limitations and other requirements. The Company made no repurchases in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022. The Company has $50 million remaining under the share repurchase program.
