CLEARWATER, FL,January 24, 2017 – MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer, today announced results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2016.
Revenue grew more than 33% to $226.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 from $169.5 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales increased 28%, building upon the 8% same-store sales growth in the same period last year. The December quarter is typically the Company’s smallest revenue quarter of the year and is usually a loss quarter for most marine dealers, including MarineMax. The Company produced a profitable first quarter with net income of $2.6 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $688,000 or $0.03 per diluted share for the comparable quarter last year.
William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We could not be more excited about our results as our team produced another quarter of extraordinary revenue and earnings growth. Our strong same-store sales growth was supported by an increase in larger yacht sales, which traditionally carry lower gross margins, impacting our consolidated margins. Historically, when this has occurred, we get good operating expense leverage, resulting in strong earnings growth, like we experienced this quarter. This is the third consecutive year MarineMax has delivered a profitable first quarter, due in large part to the continued enthusiasm our team has for ensuring our customers are enjoying the boating lifestyle through the great products and new models we offer.”
Mr. McGill continued, “In addition to the strong start to the year, we have positioned MarineMax to benefit from an enhanced presence in the strong Southeastern boating region of North and South Carolina along with Georgia as a result of the recent acquisition of Hall Marine. This acquisition complements our successful 2016 acquisition of Russo Marine in the New England area. Beyond the enhanced opportunities to increase market share, we have added considerable talent to our team through these acquisitions. As we enter the important boat show season, consumer confidence remains near recent highs, our backlog remains above last year and we have more new models for our team to sell and deliver. This provides us with growing confidence as we look out to the remainder of 2017. With our passionate team, ongoing innovative new products and a substantial balance sheet, MarineMax should continue to build on its market share gains as we move ahead.”
2017 Guidance Updated
Based on current business conditions, retail trends and other factors, the Company is raising its annual guidance expectations for fully taxed earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.14 to $1.24 for fiscal 2017 from its previous guidance of $1.04 to $1.14. These expectations do not take into account, or give effect for, future material acquisitions that may be completed by the Company during the fiscal year or other unforeseen events.
