FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARINEMAX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2011 RESULTS
~ 33% Increase inSame-Store Sales~
~ Profit Increases Significantly ~
CLEARWATER, FL,July 28, 2011 – MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Revenue was $153.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with $115.4 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales increased approximately 33% compared with a 17% decrease for the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $3.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with net income of $512,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. Included in the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $1.0 million of loan costs written off as a result of the Company entering into a new financing facility during that period.
Inventory was $200.9 million as of June 30, 2011 compared with $190.2 million as of March 31, 2011. Inventory was up 6% from the Company’s previous fiscal year end of September 30, 2010. The increase was largely due to the new product lines added to the Company’s product portfolio over the past year.
Revenue was $361.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared with $325.9 million for the comparable period last year. Same-store sales increased approximately 11% compared with a 5% decrease for the comparable period last year. The net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $5.8 million, or $0.26 per share, compared with net income of $4.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year. The Company’s results for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2010 included a tax benefit of approximately $19.4 million, or $0.88 per share, primarily related to the recognition of fiscal 2009 tax net operating loss carry-backs. Without the tax benefit last year, the Company would have incurred a net loss of $15.1 million, or $0.69 per share. The significant reduction in the Company’s net loss, absent the tax carry-back for fiscal 2010, was primarily related to increased sales.
William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our strong same-store sales increase of 33% highlights the third consecutive quarter we have achieved growth in overall new boat sales. It appears the customer is returning, and we are gaining market share despite periods of difficult weather conditions, low consumer confidence, and rising fuel prices during much of the quarter. As anticipated, with the large increase in new boat sales, our revenue mix resulted in a lower gross margin than last year. Our performance the past few quarters demonstrates that we have the right customer centric strategies and passionate team in place to capitalize on the industry fundamentals that are finally showing signs of improvement.”

Mr. McGill continued, “We recently enhanced our financial flexibility through an increase in our existing financing facility with GE Capital from $100 million to $150 million. The additional borrowing capacity gives us a competitive advantage and further strengthens our leading position in the industry. While consumer confidence continues to fluctuate and the economy remains soft, our broad product offerings and large geographic footprint are providing an advantage for boating enthusiasts throughout the country. We remain encouraged by the past several quarters’ results and believe we are well positioned to continue to outperform. As we move forward and seek to drive additional stockholder value, we remain committed to pursuing additional opportunities while controlling our expenses and inventory levels.”
