FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARINEMAX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2008 RESULTS
CLEARWATER, FL, May 1, 2008 – MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, today announced results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Revenue was $233.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared with $325.1 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales declined approximately 28%, or $90.4 million, compared with a 2% increase in the comparable quarter last year. Revenue from stores recently opened or closed that were not eligible for inclusion in the same-store sales base decreased $1.4 million. The net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $3.5 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with net earnings of $3.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the comparable quarter last year. Second quarter 2007 earnings per diluted share were $0.11 after removing $0.06 per diluted share for insurance gains.
Revenue was $448.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008 compared with $559.1 million for the comparable period last year. Same-store sales declined approximately 20%, or $110.4 million, compared with a 6% increase in the comparable period last year. The net loss for the six-months ended March 31, 2008 was $9.9 million, or $0.54 per share, compared with a net loss of $454,000, or $0.02 per share for the comparable period last year. The Company’s results for the six-month period ended March 31, 2007 includes net earnings of $0.06 per share for insurance gains.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company’s same-store sales have been negatively impacted by the widely reported economic softness that has impacted most retailers. The Company’s geographic concentration in Florida and other markets that have been adversely affected by the housing slowdown have added to the decline in same-store sales.
William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “As we indicated in our April 16, 2008 release, continued deterioration in the marine retail environment, impacted by widely publicized pressures in the housing and credit markets, resulted in second quarter performance that fell below our expectations. For the quarter, however, we were pleased to be able to increase the Company’s overall gross margins. We also reported a reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses as a result of a decline in our variable costs and our focus on reducing our cost structure. We also strengthened our balance sheet on a year-over-year basis.”
Mr. McGill continued, “We remain focused on growing market share in this difficult environment while exceeding our customers’ expectations. We are also further reducing our purchases from manufacturers to better align our inventory levels with sales trends. Lastly, we continue to strive to ensure our cost structure is consistent with the level of sales we are obtaining. Even in a declining market, MarineMax has sustained its record of market share gains as a result of our premium brand offering, outstanding team, strong balance sheet, and customer centric strategies. I am confident that these competitive advantages will enhance our leading position and benefit us when the market turns.”
