MARINEMAX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2008 RESULTS ~Company Takes Non-Cash Charge for Intangible Asset Impairment ~ ~Same-Store Sales Declined Approximately 27% ~
CLEARWATER, FL, July 31, 2008 – MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, today announced results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Revenue was $271.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared with $379.8 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales declined approximately 27% compared with a 9% decrease 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 declined by $10.3 million.
The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $113.3 million, or $6.15 per share. As prescribed by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company concluded its goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $122.1 million, or approximately $6.33 per share, net of tax, including a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. This non-cash charge was a result of the fiscal third quarter decline in the Company’s market valuation and a continuation of difficult marine industry conditions.
Excluding the non-cash charge described above, earnings per diluted share was $0.18 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, using the Company’s historical tax rate of approximately 40%. This includes $0.03 per share arising from gains related to insurance proceeds received associated with the 2007 damages to the Company’s Missouri facilities and a net gain that resulted from the Company’s retirement of its various mortgage loans and related interest rate swaps. The Company’s financial performance also reflects planned changes to its team member benefit plans, which resulted in a $1.5 million reduction to its selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter.

The Company reported earnings per diluted share of $0.73 for the comparable quarter last year. The 2007 results included $0.05 per diluted share arising from the gains associated with the sale of the Company’s corporate plane and from insurance proceeds associated with damages to the Company’s Missouri facilities as well as $0.18 per diluted share for the settlement of certain tax positions under an initiative offered by one of the states in which the Company operates.
Revenue declined 23% to $719.8 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $940.6 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2007. Same-store sales declined 23% compared with a less than 1% decline in the year ago period. Revenue from stores recently opened or closed that were not eligible for inclusion in the same-store sales base decreased $12.1 million.
Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was $123.2 million, or $6.70 per diluted share, compared with net income of $13.4 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge the net loss was $0.43 per share for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2008, using the Company’s historical tax rate of approximately 40%. This includes $0.03 per share arising from gains related to insurance proceeds received associated with the 2007 damages to the Company’s Missouri facilities and a net gain that resulted from the Company’s retirement of its various mortgage loans and related interest rate swaps. The Company’s results for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2007 included $0.06 per diluted share, arising from the proceeds of business interruption insurance for claims associated with Hurricane Wilma in 2006, and the unusual items mentioned above.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s same-store sales were adversely affected by the widely reported economic softness. The Company’s concentration in Florida and other markets that have been particularly impacted by the weak housing market has further hindered the Company’s performance.
William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The marine industry, similar to many industries in the United States, is experiencing difficult conditions that continue to dramatically impact business. I am proud of our team’s extra efforts during the quarter; however, the soft economic environment led to disappointing results. We are continuing to take steps to further strengthen our balance sheet and reduce our operating costs including store consolidations. Our inventory levels fell seasonally from the end of the March quarter but came in slightly ahead of the third quarter last year due to the greater than expected sales decline. Accordingly, we are further reducing our expected purchases from manufacturers for the 2009 model year.”
Mr. McGill continued, “MarineMax has built a formidable balance sheet with over $257 million in tangible net worth. Our balance sheet strength helps us to not only weather this environment, but allows us to continue to support our efforts to grow our Company. We are confident that our unique customer-focused operating model and current cost-reduction initiatives will enable us to emerge as a leaner organization with even stronger growth prospects when the market turns. Furthermore, we are experiencing greater customer involvement and participation in our Getaway events validating that our customers are using their boats as much as ever as they enjoy the lifestyle of boating. Our business is cyclical but our customer’s passion for boating is not.”
