SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on us; demand for our products and expected industry trends, our business strategy and plans, our prospective products or products under development, our vertical integration initiatives, our acquisition strategy and management’s objectives for future operations. In particular, many of the statements under the heading “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” the negative of these terms, or by other similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions, involving known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on us; general industry, economic and business conditions; significant fluctuations in our annual and quarterly financial results; unfavorable weather conditions, policies impacting access to waterways and shelter-in-place orders; our reliance on our network of independent dealers and increasing competition for dealers; the financial health of our dealers and their continued access to financing; our obligation to repurchase inventory of certain dealers; the success of our engine integration strategy; our reliance on certain suppliers for our engines and outboard motors; our reliance on third-party suppliers for raw materials and components and any interruption of our informal supply arrangements; our ability to meet our manufacturing workforce needs; exposure to workers' compensation claims and other workplace liabilities; our ability to grow our business through acquisitions and integrate such acquisitions to fully realize their expected benefits; our growth strategy which may require us to secure significant additional capital; our large fixed cost base; intense competition within our industry; increased consumer preference for used boats or the supply of new boats by competitors in excess of demand; the successful introduction of new products; competition with other activities for consumers’ scarce leisure time; the continued strength of our brands; our ability to execute our manufacturing strategy successfully; our exposure to claims for product liability and warranty claims; our dependence on key personnel; our ability to protect our intellectual property; disruptions to our network and information systems; risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions; rising concern regarding international tariffs; changes in currency exchange rates; an increase in energy and fuel costs; any failure to comply with laws and regulations including environmental and other regulatory requirements; a natural disaster, global pandemic or other disruption at our manufacturing facilities; increases in income tax rates or changes in income tax laws; covenants in our credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility and term loan which may limit our operating flexibility; our variable rate indebtedness which subjects us to interest rate risk; and any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls or procedures. We discuss many of these factors, risks and uncertainties in greater detail under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2020, as such disclosures may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including subsequent annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements for various reasons. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

~~Segment Information~~

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations and accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries thereof. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~February~~June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ~~(ASU) 2016‑02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this update create ASC Topic 842,~~ ~~Leases, and supersede the requirements in ASC Topic 840,~~ ~~Leases. ASC Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right‑of‑use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the~~

~~Table of Contents~~

lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, ~~Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvement~~, which provides entities with an additional (optional) transition method to adopt the new lease standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new leasing standard and all the related amendments. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification.

The Company made an accounting policy election to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead account for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Accordingly, all payments associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease cost.

The adoption of ASC Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date. Under the optional transition approach, comparative information was not restated, but will continue to be reported under the standards in effect for those periods. See Note 11 for further information regarding the Company’s leases.

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU~~("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and in November 2018 issued a subsequent amendment, ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2018-19 will affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope of this amendment that have the contractual right to receive cash. ~~ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning~~On July 1, ~~2020. The~~2020, the Company

adopted this standard and the adoption ~~of the ASU is~~did not ~~expected to~~ have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows.

There are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Issuance of Additional LLC Units

Under the first amended and restated limited liability company agreement of the LLC, as amended (the "LLC Agreement"), the Company is required to cause the LLC to issue additional LLC Units to the Company when the Company issues additional shares of Class A Common Stock. Other than in connection with the issuance of Class A Common Stock in connection with an equity incentive program, the Company must contribute to the LLC net proceeds and property, if any, received by the Company with respect to the issuance of such additional shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company must cause the LLC to issue a number of LLC Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued such that, at all times, the number of LLC Units held by the Company equals the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. During the three months ended September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company caused the LLC to issue a total of ~~2,947~~37,408 LLC Units to the Company in connection with (i) the ~~Company's~~ issuance of Class A Common Stock to ~~a non-employee director for her services~~LLC Unit holders in exchange of their LLC Units and (ii) the issuance of Class A Common Stock for the ~~vesting~~exercise of ~~awards~~options granted under the Malibu Boats, Inc. ~~Long-Term~~ Incentive ~~Plan (the "Incentive Plan").~~Plan.

~~Table of Contents~~

shares in accordance with the LLC Agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, 383,404 LLC Units were redeemed and canceled by the LLC in connection with the purchase and retirement of 383,404 treasury shares under the Company's stock repurchase program.

Distributions and Other Payments to Non-controlling Unit Holders

Distributions for Taxes

As a limited liability company (treated as a partnership for income tax purposes), Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC does not incur significant federal, state or local income taxes, as these taxes are primarily the obligations of its members. As authorized by the LLC Agreement, the LLC is required to distribute cash, to the extent that the LLC has cash available, on a pro rata basis, to its members to the extent necessary to cover the members’ tax liabilities, if any, with respect to their share of LLC earnings. The LLC makes such tax distributions to its members based on an estimated tax rate and projections of taxable income. If the actual taxable income of the LLC multiplied by the estimated tax rate exceeds the tax distributions made in a calendar year, the LLC may make true-up distributions to its members, if cash or borrowings are available for such purposes. As of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, tax distributions payable to non-controlling LLC Unit holders were ~~$399 and $568,~~ $449 and $104, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, tax distributions paid to the non-controlling LLC Unit holders were $104 and $568, ~~and $556,~~ respectively.

Other Distributions

Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the Company has the right to determine when distributions will be made to LLC members and the amount of any such distributions. If the Company authorizes a distribution, such distribution will be made to the members of the LLC (including the Company) pro rata in accordance with the percentages of their respective LLC units.

4. ~~Acquisitions~~

~~Pursuit~~

On October 15, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of the assets of Pursuit. The aggregate purchase price for the transaction was $100,073, funded with cash and borrowings under the Company's credit agreement. The aggregate purchase price was subject to certain adjustments, including customary adjustments for the amount of working capital in the business at the closing date. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 805, ~~Business Combinations~~.

The total consideration given to the former owners of Pursuit has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The measurements of fair value were determined based upon estimates utilizing the assistance of third party valuation specialists.

~~The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities of Pursuit assumed at the acquisition date:~~

Consideration:
Cash consideration paid $ 100,073

Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and (liabilities assumed), at fair value:
Inventories $ 8,332
Other current assets 350
Property, plant and equipment 17,454
Identifiable intangible assets 57,900
Current liabilities (3,488 )
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed 80,548
Goodwill 19,525
Total purchase price $ 100,073

~~Table of Contents~~

~~The fair value estimates for the Company's identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition are as follows:~~

Estimates of Fair Value Estimated Useful Life (in years)
Definite-lived intangibles:
Dealer relationships $ 25,400
20
Total definite-lived intangibles 25,400

Indefinite-lived intangible:
Trade name 32,500

Total intangible assets $ 57,900

The value allocated to inventories reflects the estimated fair value of the acquired inventory based on the expected sales price of the inventory, less an estimated cost to complete and a reasonable profit margin. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets were determined based on the following approaches:

~~Dealer Relationships~~ - The value associated with Pursuit's dealer relationships is attributed to its long standing dealer distribution network. The estimate of fair value assigned to this asset was determined using the income approach, which requires an estimate or forecast of the expected future cash flows from the dealer relationships through the application of the multi-period excess earnings approach. The estimated remaining useful life of dealer relationships is approximately twenty years.

~~Trade Name -~~ The value attributed to Pursuit's trade name was determined using a variation of the income approach called the relief from royalty method, which requires an estimate or forecast of the expected future cash flows. The trade name has an indefinite life.

The fair value of the definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method to general and administrative expenses over their estimated useful lives. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, ~~Intangibles—Goodwill and Other~~. The weighted average useful life of identifiable definite-lived intangible assets acquired was 20 years. Goodwill of $19,525 arising from the acquisition consists of expected synergies and cost savings as well as intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The indefinite-lived intangible asset and goodwill acquired are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Acquisition-related costs of $1,293, which were incurred by the Company in in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 related to the Pursuit acquisition, were expensed in the period incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

~~Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited):~~

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, assumes that the acquisition of Pursuit occurred as of July 1, 2018. The unaudited interim pro forma financial information combines historical results of Malibu and Pursuit, with adjustments for depreciation and amortization attributable to preliminary fair value estimates on acquired tangible and intangible assets for the respective periods. Non-recurring pro forma adjustments associated with the fair value step up of inventory were included in the reported pro forma cost of sales and earnings. The unaudited interim pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal year 2019 or the results that may occur in the future:

The Company estimates ~~the~~warranty costs ~~that may be incurred under its limited warranty~~it expects to incur and records a liability for such costs at the time the product revenue is recognized. The Company utilizes historical claims trends and analytical tools to develop the estimate of its warranty obligation on a per boat basis, by brand and warranty year. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities ~~by brand on a quarterly basis~~ and adjusts the amounts as necessary. ~~The~~Beginning in model year 2016, the Company ~~utilizes~~increased the term of its limited warranty for Malibu brand boats from three years to five years and for Axis brand boats from two years to five years.

As a result of these changes, all of the Company’s Malibu, Axis and Cobalt brand boats with historical claims ~~trends~~experience that are no longer covered under warranty had warranty terms shorter than the current warranty term of five years.

Long-Term Debt

The Company currently has a revolving credit facility with borrowing capacity of up to $120,000 and a $75,000 term loan outstanding. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had ~~$40,000~~0 amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and ~~$1,200~~$1,185 in outstanding letters of credit. The Company repaid $8,800 on the revolving credit facility in September 2020. The revolving credit facility matures on July 1, 2024 and the term loan matures on July 1, 2022. The revolving credit facility and term loan are governed by a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Malibu Boats, LLC (“Boats LLC”) as the borrower and ~~SunTrust Bank,~~Truist Financial Corp., as the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank. The obligations of Boats LLC under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the LLC, and, subject to certain exceptions, the present and future domestic subsidiaries of Boats LLC, and all such obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of ~~the~~ the LLC, Boats LLC and such subsidiary guarantors. Malibu Boats, Inc. is not a party to the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either, at the Company's option, (i) the highest of the prime rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or one-month LIBOR plus 1% (the “Base Rate”) or (ii) LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 0.25% to 1.25% with respect to Base Rate borrowings. The applicable margin will be based upon the consolidated leverage ratio of the LLC and its subsidiaries calculated on a consolidated basis. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the interest rate on the Company’s term loan and revolving credit facility was ~~3.27%~~1.40%. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee for ~~the~~any unused portion of the revolving credit facility which will range from 0.20% to 0.40% per annum, depending on the LLC’s and its subsidiaries’ consolidated leverage ratio.

~~Table of Contents~~

The Credit Agreement permits prepayment of the term loan without any penalties. On August 17, 2017 the Company made a voluntary principal payment on the term loan in the amount of $50,000 with a portion of the net proceeds from its equity offering completed on August 14, 2017. The Company exercised its option to apply the prepayment in forward order to principal installments on its term loan through December 31, 2021 and a portion of the principal installments due on March 31, 2022. As a result, the term loan is subject to a quarterly installment of approximately $3,000 on March 31, 2022 and the balance of the term loan is due on the scheduled maturity date of July 1, 2022. The Credit Agreement is also subject to prepayments from the net cash proceeds received by Boats LLC or any guarantors from certain asset sales and recovery events, subject to certain reinvestment rights, and from excess cash flow, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the outstanding principal amount of the Company’s term loan and revolving credit facility was ~~$115,000.~~$75,000.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, and notice requirements for the occurrence of specific events such as the occurrence of any event of default, or pending or threatened litigation. The Credit Agreement also requires compliance with certain customary financial covenants, including a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges and a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, which, among other things, place limits on certain activities of the loan parties under the Credit Agreement, such as the

Table of Contents

incurrence of additional indebtedness and additional liens on property and limit the future payment of dividends or distributions. For example, the Credit Agreement generally prohibits the LLC, Boats LLC and the subsidiary guarantors from paying dividends or making distributions, including to the Company. The credit facility permits, however, (i) distributions based on a member’s allocated taxable income, (ii) distributions to fund payments that are required under the LLC’s tax receivable agreement, (iii) purchase of stock or stock options of the LLC from former officers, directors or employees of loan parties or payments pursuant to stock option and other benefit plans up to $2,000 in any fiscal year, and (iv) share repurchase payments up to $35,000 in any fiscal year subject to one-year carry forward and compliance with other financial covenants. In addition, the LLC may make dividends and distributions of up to $10,000 in any fiscal year, subject to compliance with other financial covenants.

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company capitalized $2,074 in deferred financing costs during fiscal 2017. These costs, in addition to the unamortized balance related to costs associated with the Company's previous credit facility of $671, are being amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement into interest expense using the effective interest method and presented as a direct offset to the total debt outstanding on the consolidated balance sheet.

~~The~~As described above, the Company used proceeds from an offering on August 24, 2017 to repay $50,000 on its term loan under the Credit Agreement and exercised its option to apply the prepayment to principal installments through December 31, 2021, and a portion of principal installments due on March 31, 2022. Accordingly, no principal payments are required under the Credit Agreement until March 31, 2022, and as such, all borrowings as of ~~March 31, 2018~~September 30, 2020 and June 30, ~~2017,~~2020, are reflected as noncurrent. The $50,000 repayment resulted in a write off of deferred financing costs of $829 in fiscal year 2018, which was included in amortization expense on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

On May 8, 2019, the Company entered into the Second Incremental Facility Amendment and Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 2017. The Amendment converted $35,000 of the outstanding principal amount under the term loan to outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, increased the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility by $35,000 and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility by two years to July 1, 2024. In connection with the Amendment, the Company wrote off $137 of deferred financing costs and capitalized an additional $370 of deferred financing cost related to insubstantial modification leaving an unamortized balance of $1,367 in deferred financing costs. These are being amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method and presented as a direct offset to the total debt outstanding on the consolidated balance sheet.

Covenant Compliance

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

Interest Rate Swap

On July 1, 2015, the Company entered into a five year floating to fixed interest rate swap with an effective start date of July 1, 2015. The swap iswas based on a one-month LIBOR rate versus a 1.52% fixed rate on a notional value of $39,250, which under terms of the previously existing credit agreement, was equal to 50% of the outstanding balance of the term loan at the time of the swap arrangement. Under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, all derivative instruments are recorded on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value as either short term or long term assets or liabilities based on their anticipated settlement date. ~~Refer to Fair Value Measurements in Note 13.~~ The Company has elected not to designate its interest rate swap as a hedge for accounting purposes; therefore, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument ~~are~~were being recognized in earnings in the Company's

~~Table of Contents~~

unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The swap matured on March 31, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, ~~and 2018~~ the Company recorded a loss of $38 ~~and $3, respectively,~~ for the change in fair value of the interest rate swap, which iswas included in interest expense in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

~~11.~~10. Leases

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, land, and equipment. The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains an embedded lease at the inception of the agreement. The Company recorded right-of-use assets, included in other assets on the balance sheet, totaling $16,142 as of July 1, 2019. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead accounts for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. The Company's lease liabilities do not include future lease payments related to options to extend or terminate lease agreements as it is not reasonably certain those options will be exercised. Lease expense recorded in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 under ASC Topic 842 was not materially different from lease expense that would have been recorded under the previous lease accounting standard.

Other information concerning the Company's operating leases accounted for under ASC Topic 842, Leasesis as follows (in thousands):

~~12.~~11. Tax Receivable Agreement Liability

The Company has a tax receivable agreement with the pre-IPO owners of the LLC that provides for payment by the Company to the pre-IPO owners (or their permitted assignees) of 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to the Company entering into the tax receivable agreement, including those attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. These contractual payment obligations are obligations of the Company and not of the LLC. The Company's tax receivable agreement liability was determined on an undiscounted basis in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, since the contractual payment obligations were deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable. The tax receivable agreement further provides that, upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, the Company (or its successor)

Table of Contents

would owe to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the tax receivable agreement that would be based on certain assumptions, including a deemed exchange of LLC Units and that the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax basis and other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement. The Company also is entitled to terminate the tax receivable agreement, which, if terminated, would obligate the Company to make early termination payments to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC. In addition, a pre-IPO owner may elect to unilaterally terminate the tax receivable agreement with respect to such pre-IPO owner, which would obligate the Company to pay to such existing owner certain payments for tax benefits received through the taxable year of the election.

For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, the benefit deemed realized by the Company will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the Company (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that the Company would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of the LLC as a result of the purchases or exchanges, and had the Company not entered into the tax receivable agreement.

When estimating the expected tax rate to use in order to determine the tax benefit expected to be recognized from the Company’s increased tax basis as a result of exchanges of LLC Units by the pre-IPO owners of the LLC, the Company continuously monitors changes in its overall tax posture, including changes resulting from new legislation and changes as a result of new jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax.

As of ~~both~~ September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had deferred tax assets of ~~$110,545~~$111,991 and $111,511, respectively, associated with basis differences in assets upon acquiring an interest in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC and pursuant to making an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code"), as amended. The aggregate tax receivable agreement liability represents 85% of the tax benefits that the Company expects to receive in connection with the Section 754 election. In accordance with the tax receivable agreement, the next annual payment is anticipated approximately 75 days after filing the federal tax return due by April 15, ~~2020.~~2021.

~~13. Fair Value Measurements~~

In determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, the Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As defined in ASC Topic 820, ~~Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures~~, fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). Financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value are categorized based on the reliability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

~~Assets and liabilities that had recurring fair value measurements were as follows:~~

Fair value measurements for the Company’s interest rate swap are classified under Level 2 because such measurements are based on significant other observable inputs. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 as of September 30, 2019 or June 30, 2019.

~~The Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities that have nonrecurring fair value measurements include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangibles.~~

In assessing the need for goodwill impairment, management relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, transactions and marketplace data. Accordingly, these fair value measurements fall in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company generally uses projected cash flows, discounted as necessary, to estimate the fair values of property, plant and equipment and intangibles using key inputs such as management’s projections of cash flows on a held-and-used basis (if applicable), management’s projections of cash flows upon disposition and discount rates. Accordingly, these fair value measurements fall in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and certain liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as part of the Company’s impairment assessments and as circumstances require.

~~14.~~12. Income Taxes

Malibu Boats, Inc. is taxed as a C corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and is therefore subject to both federal and state taxation at a corporate level. The LLC continues to operate in the United States as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Income taxes are computed in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding income tax amounts. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities and maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent the Company determines that it will not realize the benefit of some or all of its deferred tax assets, such deferred tax assets will be adjusted through the Company’s provision for income taxes in the period in which this determination is made.

As of ~~both~~ September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company maintained a total valuation allowance of ~~$14,252~~$14,650 and $14,582, respectively, against deferred tax assets related to state net operating losses and future amortization deductions (with respect to the Section 754 election) that are reported in the Tennessee corporate tax return without offsetting income, which is taxable at the LLC. This also includes a valuation allowance in the amount of ~~$761~~$580 related to foreign tax credit carryforward that is not expected to be utilized in the future.

~~On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted which, among a number~~

The Company’s consolidated interim effective tax rate is based upon expected annual income from operations, statutory tax rates and tax laws in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Significant or unusual items, including those related to the change in U.S. tax law ~~noted above~~ as well as other adjustments to accruals for tax uncertainties, are recognized in the quarter in which the related event occurs. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law. The CARES Act contains significant business tax provisions, including modifications to the rules limiting the deductibility of net operating losses (NOLs), expensing of qualified improvement property (QIP) and business interest in Internal Revenue Code Sections 172(a) and 163(j), respectively. The effects of the new legislation are recognized upon enactment. The Company did not recognize any significant impact to income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 relating to the CARES Act.

For the three months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the Company's effective tax rate was ~~22.5%~~22.4% and ~~23.0%~~22.5%, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company's effective tax rate exceeded the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of U.S. state taxes. This increase in both periods was partially offset by the benefits of the foreign derived intangible income deduction, the research and development tax credit, and the impact of non-controlling interests in the LLC. ~~For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the~~ Company's effective tax rate exceeded the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% due to the impact of U.S. state taxes. This effect was partially offset by a windfall benefit generated by certain stock based compensation during the quarter and the impact of non-controlling interests in the LLC, a passthrough entity for U.S. federal tax purposes.

~~15.~~13. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted a long term incentive plan which became effective on January 1, 2014, and reserves for issuance up to 1,700,000 shares of Malibu Boats, Inc. Class A Common Stock for the Company’s employees, consultants, members of its board of directors and other independent contractors at the discretion of the compensation committee. Incentive stock awards authorized under the Incentive Plan include unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent awards and performance awards. As of September 30, ~~2019, 860,091~~2020, 716,050 shares remain available for future issuance under the long term incentive plan.

Stock compensation expense attributable to the Company's share-based equity awards was ~~$677~~$811 and ~~$476~~$677 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018, respectively,~~respectively. Stock compensation expense attributed to share-based equity awards issued under the Incentive Plan is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective awards and is included in general and administrative expense in the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Awards vesting during the three months ended September 30, ~~2019,~~2020 include ~~1,411~~1,125 fully vested restricted stock units issued to non-employee directors for their service as directors for the Company.

~~16.~~14. Net Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company's earnings by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding used in computing basic net income per share includes fully vested restricted stock units awarded to directors that are entitled to participate in distributions to common shareholders through receipt of additional units of equivalent value to the dividends paid to Class A Common Stock holders.

Diluted net income per share of Class A Common Stock is computed similarly to basic net income per share except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents using the treasury method, if dilutive. The Company’s LLC Units and non-qualified stock options are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose. The number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock related to these common stock equivalents and stock options are calculated using the treasury stock method.

Stock awards with a performance condition that are based on the attainment of a specified amount of earnings are only included in the computation of diluted earnings per share to the extent that the performance condition would be achieved based on the current amount of earnings, and only if the effect would be dilutive.

Stock awards with a market condition that are based on the performance of the Company's stock price in relation to a market index over a specified time period are only included in the computation of diluted earnings per share to the extent that the shares would be issued based on the current market price of the Company's stock in relation to the market index, and only if the effect would be dilutive.

Basic and diluted net income per share of Class A Common Stock has been computed as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding ¹

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 1

¹The Company excluded ~~1,102,975~~ 776,592 and ~~940,652~~1,102,975 potentially dilutive shares from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, as these units would have been antidilutive.

The shares of Class B Common Stock do not share in the earnings or losses of Malibu Boats, Inc. and, ~~are~~ therefore, not included in the calculation. Accordingly, basic and diluted net earnings per share of Class B Common Stock has not been presented.

~~17.~~15. Commitments and Contingencies

Repurchase Commitments

In connection with its dealers’ wholesale floor plan financing of boats, the Company has entered into repurchase agreements with various lending institutions. The reserve methodology used to record an estimated expense and loss reserve in each accounting period is based upon an analysis of likely repurchases based on current field inventory and likelihood of repurchase. Subsequent to the inception of the repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates the likelihood of repurchase and adjusts the estimated loss reserve accordingly. When a potential loss reserve is recorded it is presented in accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet. If the Company were obligated to repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. The total amount financed under the floor financing programs with repurchase obligations was ~~$211,325~~$101,476 and ~~$239,315~~$161,356 as of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

Repurchases and subsequent sales are recorded as a revenue transaction. The net difference between the repurchase price and the resale price is recorded against the loss reserve and presented in cost of sales in the accompanying unaudited interim

condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. ~~The~~During the three months ended September 30, 2020, there were no repurchases and as of September 30, 2020, the Company has not been notified about any probable repossessions. Therefore, the Company did not carry a reserve for repurchases as of September 30, ~~2019 and~~2020 consistent with June 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

The Company has collateralized receivables financing arrangements with a third-party floor plan financing provider for European dealers. Under terms of these arrangements, the Company transfers the right to collect a trade receivable to the financing provider in exchange for cash but agrees to repurchase the receivable if the dealer defaults. Since the transfer of the receivable to the financing provider does not meet the conditions for a sale under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, the Company continues to report the transferred trade receivable in other current assets with an offsetting balance recorded as a secured obligation in accrued expenses in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet.~~sheets. As of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had financing receivables of ~~$612~~ $44 and ~~$768,~~$375, respectively, recorded in other current assets and accrued expenses related to these arrangements.

~~Certain conditions may exist which could~~Product Liability

If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but reasonably estimable, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. If the assessment of a contingency deemed to be both probable and reasonably estimable involves a range of possible losses, the amount within the range that appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range would be accrued. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount in the range is accrued even though the minimum amount in the range is not necessarily the amount of loss that will be ultimately determined.

The Company insures against product liability claims and believes there are no material product liability claims as of September 30, 2020 that would not be covered by our insurance.

On January 12, 2018, the Company filed suit against Skier’s Choice, Inc., or "Skier’s Choice," in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, seeking monetary and injunctive relief. The Company's complaint alleges Skier’s Choice’s infringement of three utility patents - U.S. Patent Nos. 9,260,161, 8,578,873, and 9,199,695 - related to wake surfing technology. Skier’s Choice denied liability arising from the causes of action alleged in the Company's complaint and filed counterclaims alleging invalidity of the asserted patents. On June 19, 2019, the Company filed a second action against Skier’s Choice in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, seeking monetary and injunctive relief. The Company’s complaint alleges Skier’s Choice’s surf systems on its Moomba and Supra lines of boats infringe U.S. Patent No. 10,322,777, a patent related to wake surfing technology. Skier’s Choice denied liability arising from the causes of action alleged in the Company's complaint and filed counterclaims alleging invalidity of the asserted patents. On June 27, 2019, Skier’s Choice filed a motion to consolidate these ~~two~~2 actions, and to continue deadlines in the earlier case for ~~six~~nine months, which the Company

opposed. On August 22, 2019, the motion for consolidation was referred by Judge Thomas Varlan to Magistrate Judge Bruce Guyton, and the ~~two~~2 cases were stayed pending resolution of that motion. On November 27, 2019, Judge Guyton ordered the 2 cases to be consolidated. On January 7, 2020, the consolidated cases were reassigned to Judge Jon McCalla. On January 23, 2020, Judge McCalla issued a Scheduling Order, scheduling trial on the consolidated cases to begin on September 29, 2020. On July 23, 2020, the Company moved to dismiss its allegations of infringement of U.S. Patent No. 9,199,695, which Skier’s Choice opposed. On August 25, 2020, Judge McCalla issued a claim construction order and set a scheduling conference for August 27, 2020, for purposes of resetting the pretrial calendar and trial dates. On September 11, 2020, the Court issued a Scheduling Order resetting the trial for the consolidated cases to begin on January 25, 2021. The Company intends to vigorously pursue this litigation to enforce its rights in its patented technology and believes that Skier’s Choice’s counterclaims are without merit.

~~18.~~16. Segment Information

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company revised its segment reporting to conform to changes in its internal management reporting based on the Company’s boat manufacturing operations. Segment information has been revised for comparison purposes for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company previously had 4 reportable segments, Malibu U.S., Malibu Australia, Cobalt and Pursuit. Beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company is aggregating Malibu U.S. and Malibu Australia into 1 reportable segment as they have similar economic characteristics and qualitative factors and as a result has 3 reportable segments, Malibu, Cobalt and Pursuit. The Malibu segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale of Malibu and Axis performance sports boats throughout the world. The Cobalt and Pursuit segments participate in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale of Cobalt and Pursuit boats, respectively, throughout the world.

Many of these risks and uncertainties are outside our control, and there may be other risks and uncertainties which we do not currently anticipate because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We do not intend and undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking information to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein.

Malibu Boats, Inc. is a Delaware corporation with its principal offices in Loudon, Tennessee. We use the terms “Malibu,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar references to refer to Malibu Boats, Inc., its subsidiary, Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC, or the LLC, and its subsidiary Malibu Boats, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Cobalt Boats, LLC and PB Holdco, LLC, through which we acquired the assets of Pursuit.

We are a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of a diverse range of recreational powerboats, including performance sport boats, sterndrive and outboard boats. We are the market leader in the United States in the performance sport boat category through our Malibu and Axis Wake Research boat brands, the market leader in the United States in the 20’ - 40’ segment of the sterndrive boat category through our Cobalt brand and ~~in a leading position~~are among the market leaders in the fiberglass outboard fishing boat market with our Pursuit brand. Our product portfolio of premium brands are used for a broad range of recreational boating activities including, among others, water sports, general recreational boating and fishing. Our passion for consistent innovation, which has led to propriety technology such as Surf Gate, has allowed us to expand the market for our products by introducing consumers to new and exciting recreational activities. We design products that appeal to an expanding range of recreational boaters and water sports enthusiasts whose passion for boating and water sports is a key component of their active lifestyle and provide consumers with a better customer-inspired experience. With performance, quality, value and multi-purpose features, our product portfolio has us well positioned to broaden our addressable market and achieve our goal of increasing our market share in the expanding recreational boating industry.

We currently sell our boats under four brands—Malibu; Axis; Cobalt; and Pursuit. Our flagship Malibu boats offer our latest innovations in performance, comfort and convenience, and are designed for consumers seeking a premium performance sport boat experience. Retail prices of our Malibu boats typically range from $60,000 to ~~$190,000. We launched our~~$210,000. Our Axis boats ~~in 2009 to~~ appeal to consumers who desire a more affordable performance sport boat product but still demand high performance, functional simplicity and the option to upgrade key features. Retail prices of our Axis boats typically range from ~~$60,000~~$65,000 to ~~$110,000.~~$115,000. Our Cobalt boats consist of mid to large-sized luxury cruisers and bowriders that we believe offer the ultimate experience in comfort, performance and quality. Retail prices for our Cobalt boats typically range from $60,000 to ~~$770,000.~~$450,000. Our ~~recent acquisition of~~ Pursuit ~~expands~~boats expand our product offerings into the saltwater outboard fishing market and ~~includes~~include center console, dual console and offshore models. Retail prices for our Pursuit boats typically range from $80,000 to $800,000.

We sell our boats through a dealer network that we believe is the strongest in the recreational powerboat category. As of July 1, ~~2019,~~2020, our worldwide distribution channel consisted of over 350 dealer locations globally. Our dealer base is an important part of our consumers’ experience, our marketing efforts and our brands. We devote significant time and resources to find, develop and improve the performance of our dealers and believe our dealer network gives us a distinct competitive advantage.

On a consolidated basis, we achieved first quarter fiscal ~~2020~~2021 net sales, gross profit, net income and adjusted EBITDA of $181.0 million, $45.7 million, $22.0 million and $36.3 million, respectively, compared to $172.1 million, $40.0 million, $16.7 million and $28.4 million, respectively, ~~compared to $123.5 million, $30.5 million, $12.0 million and $22.9 million, respectively,~~ for the first quarter of fiscal ~~2019.~~2020. For the first quarter of fiscal ~~2020,~~2021, net sales increased ~~39.4%~~5.2%, gross profit increased ~~31.1%~~14.3%, net income increased ~~38.8%~~32.1% and adjusted EBITDA increased ~~24.0%~~28.0% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal ~~2019. Our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 include Pursuit, which we acquired on October 15, 2018.~~2020. For the definition of adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income, see “GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company revised its segment reporting to conform to changes in its internal management reporting based on the Company’s boat manufacturing operations. Segment information has been revised for comparison purposes for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company now hasWe currently report our results of operations under three reportable segments, Malibu, Cobalt and Pursuit. The Malibu segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale of Malibu and Axis performance sports boats throughout the world. The Cobalt and Pursuit segments participate in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale of Cobalt and Pursuit boats, respectively, throughout the world. Malibu is our largest segment and represented ~~49.9%~~55.2% and ~~60.9%~~49.9% of our net sales for the three months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~September 30, 2018,~~2019, respectively. Cobalt represented ~~29.1%~~24.6% and ~~39.1%~~29.1% of our net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, ~~and September 30, 2018,~~ respectively. ~~We completed the acquisition of Pursuit on October 15, 2018 and~~ Pursuit represented 20.2% and 21.0% of our net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 1816 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for more information about our reporting segments.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our operations and financial results since the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and continues to impact us. On March 24, 2020, we elected to suspend operations at all of our facilities. The shut-down continued into the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 with operations resuming between late April and early May, depending on the facility. As a result, we were not able to ship boats to our dealers during the period of shut-down, which negatively impacted our net sales for the second half of fiscal year 2020. In addition, we have been managing our production levels in anticipation of supply chain constraints, which we have begun to experience in recent weeks. While our net sales were negatively impacted during the second half of fiscal year 2020 because of lower production levels, retail sales improved during the summer months as consumers turned to boating as a form of outdoor, socially distanced recreation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in retail sales during the summer months combined with our lower wholesale shipment levels during the second half of fiscal year 2020 resulted in lower inventory levels at our dealers as of September 30, 2020 compared to last year. We expect these lower inventory levels, while having the potential to impact retail sales in the near-term, will provide us strong order flow for our model year 2021 product, unless broader economic activity meaningfully contracts and correspondingly impacts consumer demand meaningfully.

In addition to our operations, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and continues to impact the operations of our dealers and suppliers. While some of our dealers and suppliers had to suspend their operations during the pandemic, many continued to operate and we are not aware of any of our dealers or suppliers that have closed permanently. Our suppliers have been impacted by COVID-19 and continue to ramp production to meet increased demand for their products. As mentioned, we have successfully managed our production levels to ensure that challenges related to parts procurement do not impact operations and and we have not experienced any significant shortages.

We believe we are well-positioned to withstand any further disruptions that may occur as result of the ongoing pandemic. We have approximately $52.4 million of cash on hand as of September 30, 2020 and approximately $120.0 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2020. Further, we have a flexible cost structure that allows us to more closely align our costs with wholesale shipments. The future impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition and results of operations, however, will depend on a number of factors, including factors that we may not be able to forecast at this time. In addition, a recent resurgence of COVID-19 in certain parts of the world, including the United States and parts of Europe, has resulted in the re-imposition of certain restrictions and may lead to more restrictions being implemented again to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures could result in further interruptions to our operations and potentially a decrease in consumer spending. See the risk factor “The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, our operations, and those of our dealers and suppliers, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.” under Part I. Item 1A. of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.

Industry-wide marine retail registrations continue to recover from the years following the global financial crisis. According to Statistical Surveys, Inc., domestic retail registration volumes of performance sport boats, fiberglass sterndrive and fiberglass outboards increased at a compound annual growth rate of approximately ~~6.0%~~5.2% between 2011 and ~~2018,~~2019, for the 50 reporting states. ~~This has~~While domestic retail registration volumes for new recreational powerboats decreased in 2019, total retail sales dollars increased in 2019, according to National Marine Manufacturers Association.

Regardless of retail market growth rates, the combination of continued strong retail market activity this summer and ~~there are~~the temporary suspension of our operations from March and into May 2020, has depleted inventory levels at our dealers below prior year levels and we expect to see meaningful wholesale demand to restock our dealer inventories through fiscal year 2021 and beyond. While we expect lower dealer inventory levels will support fiscal year 2021 financial performance and likely into 2022, numerous other variables ~~that~~ have the potential to impact our volumes, both positively and negatively. ~~We also~~For example, we believe the substantial decrease in the price of oil, broad strength of the U.S. dollar and recently implemented tariffs ~~have~~ has

resulted in reduced demand for our boats in certain markets. To date, growth in our domestic market has offset the significantly diminished demand from economies that are driven by the oil industry and international markets. Consumer confidence, expanded or eroded, is ~~another~~a variable that ~~could~~can also impact demand for our products in both directions. Other challenges that could impact demand for recreational powerboats include higher interest rates reducing retail consumer appetite for our product, the availability of credit to our dealers and retail consumers, fuel costs, a meaningful reduction in the value of global or domestic equity markets, the continued acceptance of our new products in the recreational boating market, our ability to compete in the competitive power boating industry, and the costs of labor and certain of our raw materials and key components.

Since 2008, we have increased our market share among manufacturers of performance sport boats due to new product development, improved distribution, new models, and innovative features. As the market for our product has recovered our competitors have become more aggressive in their product introductions, increased their distribution and ~~begun to compete~~launched surf systems competitive with our patented Surf Gate system. This competitive environment has continued throughout the past few years, but ~~we continue to maintain a~~ strong performance from Malibu and Axis in 2019 and year-to-date 2020 has expanded our market share lead over our nearest competitor in ~~terms of market position~~the performance sport boats category. We believe our new product pipeline, strong dealer network and ~~we believe that we are~~ability to manage our business through the COVID-19 pandemic leaves us well positioned to maintain and potentially expand our industry leading market position ~~given our strong dealer network and new product pipeline.~~in performance sports boats. In addition, we continue to be the market share leader in both the premium and value-oriented product sub-categories.

We also believe our track record of expanding our market share due to new product development, improved distribution, new models, and innovative features is directly transferable to our Cobalt and Pursuit acquisitions. While Cobalt and Pursuit are market leaders in certain areas, we believe our experience positions us to execute a strategy to drive enhanced share by expanding both the Cobalt and Pursuit product offerings with different foot lengths, different boat types and different propulsion technologies. Our new product development efforts at Cobalt and Pursuit will take time and our ability to influence near-term model introductions is limited, but we have already begun to execute on this strategy. With respect to Cobalt, we have included Splash and Stow and a new electronic flip down Swim Step for model year 2021 boats. For the Pursuit brand, our focus has been on expanding the award winning Dual Console, Sport and Offshore product offerings that continue to combine innovative features and dependable performance in refined designs that accommodate a broad array of activities on the water, including the Electric Sliding Entertainment Center on the new S 378. We believe enhancing new product development combined with diligent management of the Cobalt and Pursuit dealer networks positions us to meaningfully improve our share of the sterndrive and outboard markets over time.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that our results of operations and our growth prospects are affected by a number of factors, such as the economic environment and consumer demand for our products, our ability to develop new products and innovate, our product mix, our ability to manage manufacturing costs, including through our vertical integration efforts, sales cycles and inventory levels, the strength of our dealer network and our ability to offer dealer financing and incentives. We discuss each of these factors in more detail under the heading “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020. While we do not have control of all factors affecting our results from operations, we work diligently to influence and manage those factors which we can impact to enhance our results of operations.

Components of Results of Operations

Net Sales

We generate revenue from ~~sales~~the sale of boats to our dealers. The substantial majority of our net sales are derived from the sale of boats, including optional features ~~added~~included at the time of the initial wholesale purchase of the boat. Net sales consists of the following:

•Gross sales from:

•

•Boat and trailer sales—consists of sales of boats and trailers to our dealer network. Nearly all of our boat sales include optional feature upgrades purchased by the consumer, which increase the average selling price of our boats; and

•Parts and other sales—consists of sales of replacement and aftermarket boat parts and accessories to our dealer network; and consists of royalty income earned from license agreements with various boat manufacturers, including Nautique, Chaparral, Mastercraft, and Tige related to the use of our intellectual property.

Rebates, free flooring and discounts—consists of incentives, rebates and free flooring, we provide to our dealers based on sales of eligible products. For our Malibu and Axis models, if a domestic dealer meets its monthly or quarterly commitment volume, as well as other terms of the dealer performance program, the dealer is entitled to a specified rebate. For our Cobalt models, if a domestic dealer meets its quarterly commitment volume, as well as other terms of the dealer performance program, the dealer is entitled to a specified rebate. ~~Cobalt dealers are entitled to volume-based discounts taken at the time of invoice.~~ For our Pursuit models, if a dealer meets its quarterly or annual ~~retail~~ volume goals, the dealer is entitled to a specific rebate applied to their wholesale volume purchased from Pursuit. For Malibu and Cobalt models and select Pursuit models, our dealers that take delivery of current model year boats in the offseason, typically July through April in the U.S., are also entitled to have us pay the interest to floor the boat until the earlier of (1) the sale of the unit or (2) a date near the end of the current model year, which incentive we refer to as “free flooring.” From time to time, we may extend the flooring program to eligible models beyond the offseason period.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales includes all of the costs to manufacture our products, including raw materials, components, supplies, direct labor and factory overhead. For components and accessories manufactured by third-party vendors, such costs represent the amounts invoiced by the vendors. Shipping costs and depreciation expense related to manufacturing equipment and facilities are also included in cost of sales. Warranty costs associated with the repair or replacement of our boats under warranty are also included in cost of sales.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses include selling and marketing, and general and administrative costs. Each of these items includes personnel and related expenses, supplies, non-manufacturing overhead, third-party professional fees and various other operating expenses. Further, selling and marketing expenditures include the cost of advertising and various promotional sales incentive programs. General and administrative expenses include, among other things, salaries, benefits and other personnel related expenses for employees engaged in product development, engineering, finance, information technology, human resources and executive management. Other costs include outside legal and accounting fees, investor relations, risk management (insurance) and other administrative costs. ~~General and administrative expenses also include product development expenses associated with our engines vertical integration initiative and acquisition or integration related expenses.~~

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net consists of interest expense and other income or expense, net. Interest expense consists of interest charged under our outstanding debt, interest on our interest rate swap arrangement and change in the fair value of our interest rate swap we entered into on July 1, 2015, which matured on March 31, 2020, and amortization of deferred financing costs on our credit facilities. ~~Other income expense, net consists mostly of adjustments to our tax receivable agreement liability.~~

Income Taxes

2521

Malibu Boats, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax in multiple jurisdictions with respect to our allocable share of any net taxable income of the LLC. The LLC is a pass-through entity for federal purposes but incurs income tax in certain state jurisdictions. The provision for income taxes reflects an estimated effective income tax rate attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc.'s share of income. The estimated effective income tax rate used to determine the provision for income taxes typically differs from the statutory federal income tax rate due to the impact of state taxes, our ability to utilize certain tax credits and the impact of the non-controlling interests in the LLC. Our effective tax rate also reflects the impact of our share of the LLC's permanent items such as stock compensation expense attributable to profits interests.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest

As of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, we had a 96.7% and 96.1%, controlling economic interest, ~~in both periods,~~respectively, and 100% voting interest in the LLC and, therefore, we consolidate the LLC's operating results for financial statement purposes. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest represents the portion of net income attributable to the non-controlling LLC members.

The planned lower production rates were driven by our investment in the plant to optimize efficiency and expand capacity, the introduction of three new Cobalt models during the quarter, and challenges around labor and supply as a result of the pandemic. While we are ahead of our planned production levels, we do not expect unit volume in this segment will result in year-over-year ~~price increases on all~~gains until the second half of this fiscal year.

This increase was partially offset by the benefits of the foreign derived intangible income deduction, the research and development tax credit, and the impact of non-controlling

interests in the LLC.For the three months ended September 30, 2018, our effective tax rate of 23% exceeded the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% due to the impact of U.S. state taxes. This effect was partially offset by a windfall benefit generated by certain stock based compensation during the quarter and the impact of non-controlling interests in the LLC, a passthrough entity for U.S. federal tax purposes.

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest represents the ownership interests of the members of the LLC other than us and the amount recorded as non-controlling interest in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income is computed by multiplying pre-tax income for the applicable period, by the percentage ownership in the LLC not directly attributable to us. For the three months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the weighted average non-controlling interest attributable to ownership interests in the LLC not directly attributable to us was ~~3.8%~~3.4% and ~~4.7%~~3.8%, respectively.

GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management as well as by investors, commercial bankers, industry analysts and other users of our financial statements.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash, non-recurring or non-operating expenses, including certain professional fees, ~~acquisition~~ and ~~integration related expenses,~~ non- cash compensation ~~expense, and expenses related to our engine development initiative.~~expense. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of net income as determined by GAAP. Management believes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin allow investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assist in highlighting trends in our operating results without regard to our financing methods, capital structure and non-recurring or non-operating expenses. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, the methods by which assets were acquired and other factors. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity. Certain items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income as determined in accordance with GAAP to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income

We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income as net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. (i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, (iii) assuming the exchange of all LLC units into shares of Class A Common Stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in the LLC, and (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on fully distributed net income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate. Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure because it represents net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc., before non-recurring or non-cash items and the effects of non-controlling interests in the LLC.

We use Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.

We believe Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income assists our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net income on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes non-cash or non-recurring items, and eliminates the variability of non-controlling interest as a result of member owner exchanges of LLC Units into shares of Class A Common Stock.

In addition, because Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is susceptible to varying calculations, the Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income measures, as presented in this Quarterly Report, may differ from and may, therefore, not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 to the Three Months Ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $32.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $27.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, ~~compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018,~~ an increase of ~~$14.5~~$5.0 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from ~~a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $6.8 million related to the timing of collections of accounts receivables, payments for accruals and payables, and purchases of inventory and~~ an increase of ~~$7.7~~$6.4 million due to ~~increases~~an increase in net income (after consideration of non-cash items included in net income, primarily related to depreciation, amortization, deferred tax assets and non-cash compensation). partially offset by a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $1.4 million related to the timing of collections of accounts receivables, payments for accruals and payables, and purchases of inventory.

Investing Activities

Net cash used ~~for~~in investing activities was $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, ~~compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase~~a decrease of ~~$8.5~~$5.3 million. The ~~increase~~decrease in cash used for investing activities was primarily related to a reduction in capital expenditures compared to the ~~increase in~~ capital outlays for our expansion activities at our Pursuit and Cobalt plants ~~and normal purchases for manufacturing infrastructure, molds and equipment.~~in the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Financing Activities

Net cash used byin financing activities was $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, ~~compared to $0.4 million for~~a decrease of $3.1 million. During the three months ended September 30, ~~2018, an increase~~2020, we repaid $8.8 million of ~~$11.5 million. For~~revolving debt, we paid $0.1 million in distributions to LLC unit holders and $0.1 million on taxes for shares withheld on restricted stock vestings and we received $0.3 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased $11.1 million of our Class A Common Stock under our previously announced stock repurchase ~~program.~~program, which expired on July 1, 2020. We paid $0.6 million in distributions to LLC unit holders and $0.2 million on taxes for shares withheld on restricted stock vestings during the three months ended September 30, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we paid $0.6 million in distributions to LLC unit holders and $0.5 million in taxes for shares withheld on restricted stock vestings and we received $0.7 million proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Loans and ~~Commitments~~Commitments

We currently have a revolving credit facility with borrowing capacity of up to $120.0 million and a $75.0 million term loan outstanding. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we had ~~$40.0 million~~no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $1.2 million in outstanding letters of credit. We repaid $8.8 million on our revolving credit facility in September 2020. The revolving credit facility matures on July 1, 2024 and the term loan matures on July 1, 2022. The revolving credit facility and term loan are governed by a credit agreement with Malibu Boats, LLC (“Boats LLC”) as the borrower and ~~SunTrust Bank,~~Truist Financial Corp., as the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank. The obligations of Boats LLC under the credit agreement are guaranteed by Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC, and, subject to certain exceptions, the present and future domestic subsidiaries of Boats LLC, and all such obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Malibu Boats Holdings LLC, Boats LLC and such subsidiary guarantors. Malibu Boats, Inc. is not a party to the credit agreement.

Borrowings under our credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either, at our option, (i) the highest of the prime rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or one-month LIBOR plus 1% (the “Base Rate”) or (ii) LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 0.25% to 1.25% with respect to Base

Rate borrowings. The applicable margin will be based upon the consolidated leverage ratio of Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries calculated on a consolidated basis. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the interest rate on our term loan and revolving

credit facility was ~~3.27%~~1.40%. We are required to pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, which will range from 0.20% to 0.40% per annum, depending on Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC’s and its subsidiaries’ consolidated leverage ratio.

The credit agreement permits prepayment of the term loan without any penalties. On August 17, 2017, we made a voluntary principal payment on the term loan in the amount of $50.0 million with a portion of the net proceeds from our equity offering completed on August 14, 2017. We exercised our option to apply the prepayment in forward order to principal installments on our term loan through December 31, 2021 and a portion of the principal installments due on March 31, 2022. As a result, the term loan is subject to a quarterly installment of approximately $3.0 million on March 31, 2022 and the balance of the term loan is due on the scheduled maturity date of July 1, 2022. The credit agreement is also subject to prepayments from the net cash proceeds received by Boats LLC or any guarantors from certain asset sales and recovery events, subject to certain reinvestment rights, and from excess cash flow, subject to the terms and conditions of the credit agreement. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the outstanding principal amount of our term loan and revolving credit facility was ~~$115.0~~$75.0 million.

The credit agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, and notice requirements for the occurrence of specific events such as the occurrence of any event of default, or pending or threatened litigation. The credit agreement also requires compliance with certain customary financial covenants, including a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges and a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA. The credit agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, which, among other things, place limits on certain activities of the loan parties under the credit agreement, such as the incurrence of additional indebtedness and additional liens on property and limit the future payment of dividends or distributions. For example, the credit agreement generally prohibits Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC, Boats LLC and the subsidiary guarantors from paying dividends or making distributions, including to ~~the Company.~~us. The credit facility permits, however, (i) distributions based on a member’s allocated taxable income, (ii) distributions to fund payments that are required under the LLC’s tax receivable agreement, (iii) purchase of stock or stock options of the LLC from former officers, directors or employees of loan parties or payments pursuant to stock option and other benefit plans up to $2.0 million in any fiscal year, and (iv) share repurchase payments up to $35.0 million in any fiscal year subject to one-year carry forward and compliance with other financial covenants. In addition, the LLC may make dividends and distributions of up to $10.0 million in any fiscal year, subject to compliance with other financial covenants.

Potential Impact of LIBOR Transition

The Chief Executive of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, has announced that the FCA will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. That announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. Moreover, it is possible that LIBOR will be discontinued or modified prior to 2021.

All of our $75.0 million of debt outstanding under our credit agreement as of September 30, 2020 bears interest at a floating rate that uses LIBOR as the applicable reference rate to calculate the interest. Our credit agreement provides that, if the administrative agent has determined that adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR or that LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to lenders for making, funding or maintaining their loans, then all of our outstanding loans under the credit agreement will be converted into loans that accrue interest at the alternative Base Rate described above under “Loans and Commitments” on the last day of such interest period that determination is made. Further, the lenders under our credit agreement will no longer be obligated to make loans using LIBOR as the applicable reference rate.

In addition, our tax receivable agreement provides that, if for any reason the LLC is not able to make a tax distribution in an amount that is sufficient to make any required payment under the tax receivable agreement or we otherwise lack sufficient funds, interest would accrue on any unpaid amounts at LIBOR plus 500 basis points until they are paid. Our tax receivable agreement, however, does not provide for an alternative reference rate to LIBOR and, while we do not currently anticipate failing to pay any amounts owed under our tax receivable agreement, it is unclear how we would determine interest on any such amounts should we fail to pay as required under our tax receivable agreement.

If the rate used to calculate interest on our outstanding floating rate debt under our credit agreement that currently uses LIBOR were to increase by 1.0% either as a result of an increase in LIBOR or the result of the use of the alternative Base Rate, we would expect to incur additional interest expense on such indebtedness as of September 30, 2020 of approximately $0.8 million on an annualized basis. While we do not expect the potential impact of any LIBOR transition to have a material effect on our financial results based on our currently outstanding debt, uncertainty as to the nature of potential changes to LIBOR, fallback provisions, alternative reference rates or other reforms could adversely impact our interest expense on our floating rate debt that currently uses LIBOR as the applicable reference rate. In addition, any alternative reference rates to LIBOR may result in interest that does not correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on our indebtedness if LIBOR

was available in its current form. Further, the discontinuance or modification of LIBOR and uncertainty of an alternative reference rate may result in the increase in the cost of future indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations. We intend to closely monitor the financial markets and the use of fallback provisions and alternative reference rates in anticipation of the discontinuance or modification of LIBOR by the end of 2021.

Future Liquidity Needs and Capital Expenditures

Management believes that our existing cash, borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the general economic environment in which we operate and our ability to generate cash flow from operations. Factors impacting our cash flow from operations include, but are not limited to, our growth rate and the timing and extent of operating expenses.

We estimate that ~~approximately$3.6~~approximately $3.6 million will be due under the tax receivable agreement within the next 12 months. In accordance with the tax receivable agreement, the next payment is anticipated to occur approximately 75 days after filing the federal tax return which is due on April 15, ~~2020. Management expects minimal effect~~2021.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the general economic environment in which we operate and our ability to generate cash flow from operations, which are more uncertain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the general economy. Our liquidity needs during this uncertain time will depend on multiple factors, including our ability to continue operations and production of boats, the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on our ~~future liquidity~~dealers, suppliers and ~~capital resources.~~

~~Management expects~~retail customers, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, and our capital expenditures for fiscal year 2020 to be higher than our 2019 capital expenditures primarily driven by facility expansion projects at Cobalt and Pursuit. Capital expenditures for fiscal year 2020 are expected to consist primarily of the completion of ongoing projects, new tooling, and expenditures to increase production capacity to accommodate future growth.operating performance.

Stock Repurchase Program

On ~~June 18, 2019,~~August 27, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to allow for the repurchase of up to ~~$35.0~~$50.0 million of our Class A Common Stock and the LLC's LLC Units (the “Repurchase Program”) for the period from ~~July 1, 2019~~September 2, 2020 to July 1, ~~2020.~~2021. We intend to fund repurchases under the Repurchase Program from cash on hand. ~~During~~We did not repurchase any shares of our Class A Common Stock during the three months ended September 30, ~~2019, we repurchased 383,404 shares of Class A Common Stock for $11.1 million in cash including related fees and expenses.~~2020. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we may repurchase up to ~~an additional $23.9~~$50.0 million in shares of Class A Common Stock and LLC Units under the program.

Under the tax receivables agreement, we pay the pre-IPO owners (or any permitted assignees) 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize, or in some circumstances are deemed to realize, as a result of an expected increase in our share of tax basis in LLC’s tangible and intangible assets, including increases attributable to payments made under the tax receivable agreement. These obligations will not be paid if we do not realize cash tax savings.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In connection with our dealers’ wholesale floor plan financing of boats, we have entered into repurchase arrangements with various lending institutions. The repurchase commitment is on an individual unit basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through payment date by the dealer, generally not exceeding two and a half years. Such arrangements are customary in the industry and our exposure to loss under such arrangements is limited by the resale value of the inventory which is required to be repurchased. Refer to Note 1715 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further information on repurchase commitments.

Seasonality

Our dealers experience seasonality in their business. Retail demand for boats is seasonal, with a significant majority of sales occurring during peak boating season, which coincides with our first and fourth fiscal quarters. In order to minimize the impact of this seasonality on our business, we manage our manufacturing processes and structure dealer incentives to tie our annual volume rebates program to consistent ordering patterns, encouraging dealers to purchase our products throughout the year. In this regard, we may offer free flooring incentives to ~~dealers.~~dealers from the beginning of our model year through April 30 of each year. Further, in the event that a dealer does not consistently order units throughout the year, such dealer’s rebate is materially reduced. We may offer off-season retail promotions to our dealers in seasonally slow months, during and ahead of boat shows, to encourage retail demand.

Critical Accounting Policies

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, there were no other significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies or estimation procedures from those presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that 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 our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.
