Operator

[Operator Instructions].

from with question first Drew Our comes Stifel. Crum

Andrew Crum

not normalize but soon. that levels you're inventory 'XX anytime Okay. know to I expect guidance yet, you for don't providing fiscal you mentioned

be So in maybe separately, then dynamic for given of should the at least couple we over the thinking performance? about Jack, similar anticipate margin performance, mix how lift quarters, XQ. and that And parts gross sales comps, some boat service next Should and 'XX? tough similar and same-store It something we sounds cited fiscal gross margin like beyond anticipating fiscal growth. you you're a

Anthony Aisquith

you that? do Jack? Jack, take to want

Jack Ezzell

Yes.

we're a and On now. XXXX the sales in and around lot note, of work same-store projections doing right

So not really that. speak to prepared to

they're for chain supply think of lot I looking to we're constraints. inventory. our provide faced that with a adequate I manufacturers know

at like I mean, we do sales. think information look And interesting when I get easier we better up an more back so go quarter, it some mean, get will be more same-store them, the quarters, -- a going were out against. that's and feel comp same-store of the us to to there's you to as I XX% March projection be on we for and sales.

So there may variability be year. some the through

seeing there today that that a is there's same-store sales. from positive demand though, continue we're drive will what think, that to I demand

to got that through challenge forward. think and I this move inventory we work So

basis I I do, As what to far as we continues do inventory going constrained, that to mean, gross to them to so and expect think forward. a environment. wouldn't do be But margins, more up go modeling we're certainly XXX as things go we margin favorable I I that's elevated think going we about be have to long present points.

Anthony Aisquith

additional global have could when impact our you -- get add we that to market particular to we've this pull in is and past I'd acquired same-store on One inventory that we're in it acquisition hadn't. and that too, though as aggressive be other from allow thing to take that on quarter inventory, a the the that going like continue dealership and be you noticed hotter platform to to they're to sales, they an that is if able that

year. George But Tom they had had had choose acquisitions, the this they Walkers, they could needed the ordered they some with those pick from that inventory they and So as that inventory were for their able and generate sales. now to and global

on Boat Naples the move that pressure a will is and where put keeping constrained Mart and sales, is to Harbor that while Stone we we inventory in to, forward as little continue lay So it some and spoke same-store other cadence that today. acquisitions

Andrew Crum

just the But that's to drive I business, mean company. EBITDA going good it. ultimately, Got and additional it's a growth for

Okay. Thanks guys.

with comes next Mike question Truist from Our Securities. Swartz

Michael Swartz

I all that is to industry. think to don't from inventory situation, remember commentary when who think dire inventory your April I late last constraints the the But we maybe being I surprising this conference are call, anyone go of as it covers kind maybe back today. don't

So maybe demand was give related over a related? happened that whether was few sense what maybe production past us OEM the retail that or of whether months,

Jack Ezzell

retail remained consistent I I mean, demand. Well, think strong. it don't demand has mean, was I -- retail pretty and

X quarter. that's the of the a that X is push weeks pushed in OEMs, it's X I weeks, or -- bigger gets load can kind and boats you load think that But weeks. weeks, X like the load getting next weeks, that X pushes of pushes load if which the hinder a have next coming issue

want So a started it's like in they keeps kind was of April kind the domino feel but it were to do after it's manufacturers to sneak of other that and it out realize we confident our you Anthony, I that? I that were and to over them. didn't with back to pushing talking think that buy were -- had effect hump, think more they add they up things that going that

Anthony Aisquith

shortage in started and Yes. in all Gelco. of. -- were back didn't has really Gelco storm in been foam in goes February built It that has that It many I between else a a Texas that them how just guess constant out and we of everything things realize

Jack Ezzell

consumers I pretty patient. been though too thing themselves is, the Another and mean have understanding

if pushes last into make a So or that really when an next the don't the suspecting days next to quarter, or can month you're you the because get end end quarter. get of it you what to a month of the X impact get,

And not comments, opening the it so I got we into and the And It's this we -- kind that spoke really that north inventory sales. losing coming mean, of presold year. where like we've in was in we're getting is just XXX% dug it's of time of last that delayed. of

Joseph Altobello

Got Okay. it.

announced, acquisitions XX one million we it so if the year? looks next X about that the about over is from just combined could. should or $XX acquisitions Just months. The those past EBITDA you one, last contributions revenue I the think like and revenue How

Jack Ezzell

Yes.

the I those couple entity of worth a A think in of EBITDA mode. significant there. different little number that PartsVu you right bring revenue company. is million bit is hit of typical acquisition a growth the to dollars size will

additional to So there's reinvestment a lot spending that. of and grow

So gross margin growth. EBITDA be push rapid less than -- at good we as that have continue rapid optimal its margins, one it's -- but will will to

from Our Capital. comes next Andress KeyBanc question with Brett

Brett Andress

A question.

X up trajectory Any were up in I of I don't any or you July? in frame terms and here have way change that then Is the been I pace there? year-over-year. mentioned those pre-sales that how of, to months think, is know, Jack guess of kind X, XXX% X, of sales cadence there presales in

Brett Andress

Got it.

just then an And or Okay. it of I that a advantage But acquisition mean -- here. give fill of the you in a kind on I just is I'm and scarcity all fits we, Is interesting there curious that of was an there PartsVu, your have out PS&O business? think need does just sudden, now there. that how broader them? parts a picture

Jack Ezzell

No, all. I don't parts at of there's think a scarcity

we've does what a I it in so us mean looking to his its is set I The and think Philip it us really One are for has gives own. differently. kind on PartsVu we up solid to of great growing been it it leave platform really platform already it. his about wheelhouse grow been can team that passionate and

some bring we power. think I buying

to to been can into subscription we get order by keeping the it that our a some bolster bottom I I've loyalty our but the up only fold give where program, line us bringing into it top does in fold. that to that we line, can but get things meaningful seeking the help platform P&A model, just us accelerate that think in customers not there's really

piece about passionate help puzzle, a it me us very super been to excited going anything think he's that to it, thing super that's I explode. is with is of we're guy excites it. And And the and more run about than so the it's important make incentivized what and really

Brett Andress

PartsVu And rapidly. business, I one growing mean then it's is it's a just on -- the but last smaller that

that is versus PS&O current your business? the profile of margin where Just

Jack Ezzell

little from parts reinvestment Yes. as right a I'd not margin what in expect it's it's bit. it's far margin, an as lagging a its EBITDA similar. say the It's It's it's profitable, XXs. would But low at you gross level growth. now, because but the margins that of -- in
