MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. Reports Results for Fiscal 2024 First Quarter

VONORE, Tenn., Nov. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCFT) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 first quarter ended October 1, 2023.

Highlights:

Unless otherwise indicated, the highlights and commentary provided herein relate to our continuing operations, which excludes our former NauticStar segment. Results for NauticStar are reported as discontinued operations.

  • Net sales for the first quarter decreased to $104.2 million, down 38.5% from the prior-year period.
  • Net income from continuing operations was $7.1 million, or $0.41 per diluted share.
  • Diluted Adjusted Net Income per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.47, down 67.1%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, decreased to $12.2 million, down 66.0%.
  • Share repurchases of $5.8 million during the quarter.
  • Ended the quarter with cash and investments of $90.0 million.

Fred Brightbill, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, commented, “Our business performed well during the first quarter as we delivered better-than-expected results despite continuing macroeconomic and demand uncertainty. With the summer selling season now complete we are focused on rebalancing dealer inventories with anticipated retail demand as we seek to ensure the health of our dealer network. We are maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation as we prioritize balance sheet resilience and the return of cash to shareholders through our share repurchase program.”

Brightbill continued, “Given the uncertain environment, our strong balance sheet is a significant advantage which provides us with abundant financial flexibility. Despite the cyclical headwinds facing the industry, we are well positioned to pursue our capital allocation priorities, including investment in long-term growth. We continue to prudently invest in targeted initiatives that will take advantage of the industry’s positive, underlying secular trends. These investments will support long-term growth and value creation through product line expansion, relentless innovation, and an unyielding focus on the consumer.”

First Quarter Results

Unless otherwise indicated, the financial results provided herein relate to our continuing operations, which excludes our former NauticStar segment. Results for NauticStar are reported as discontinued operations.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $104.2 million, down $65.3 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The net sales decrease reflects lower unit volume as we focus on rebalancing dealer inventories consistent with anticipated softness in retail demand, and an increase in dealer incentives, partially offset by higher prices. Dealer incentives include higher floor plan financing costs as a result of increased dealer inventories and interest rates, and other incentives as the retail environment remains competitive.

Gross profit decreased $24.1 million and gross profit margin decreased 610 basis points to 21.0 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 from 27.1 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in margin was mainly due to lower cost absorption due to planned decreased sales volume, higher dealer incentives, and higher costs related to material, labor and overhead inflation, partially offset by higher prices.

Operating expenses decreased $0.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year period.

Net income from continuing operations was $7.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $24.6 million in the prior-year period. Diluted net income from continuing operations per share was $0.41, compared to $1.37 for the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Adjusted Net Income decreased to $8.1 million for the first quarter, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $25.7 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $12.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $35.9 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.7 percent for the first quarter, down from 21.2 percent for the prior-year period.

Net income was $6.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to net income of $4.1 million in the prior-year period.

See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Outlook

Concluded Brightbill, “Macroeconomic factors, including interest rates which could remain elevated for some time, are adversely impacting the demand for recreational boats and other luxury consumer goods. The potential for a broader economic downturn during fiscal 2024 could worsen this headwind for the industry. In addition, political and geopolitical risks are creating uncertainties that weigh on consumer confidence. Given the dynamic macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop, which is limiting retail demand visibility, we have planned for a range of potential retail demand scenarios.”

The Company’s outlook is as follows:

  • For full year fiscal 2024, we continue to expect consolidated net sales to be between $390 million and $420 million, with Adjusted EBITDA between $42 million and $52 million, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of between $1.46 and $1.88. We continue to expect capital expenditures to be approximately $22 million for the full year.
  • For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, consolidated net sales is expected to be approximately $96 million, with Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $7 million, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of approximately $0.22.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define EBITDA as net income from continuing operations, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges or other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations. For the periods presented herein, the adjustment is for share-based compensation. We define EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, each expressed as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share

We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share as net income from continuing operations, adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges or other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations and reflecting income tax expense on adjusted net income before income taxes at our estimated annual effective tax rate. For the periods presented herein, these adjustments include other intangible asset amortization and share-based compensation.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share, which we refer to collectively as the Non-GAAP Measures, are not measures of net income or operating income as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The Non-GAAP Measures are not measures of performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net income per share, or operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of cash flow. We believe that the inclusion of the Non-GAAP Measures is appropriate to provide additional information to investors because securities analysts and investors use the Non-GAAP Measures to assess our operating performance across periods on a consistent basis and to evaluate the relative risk of an investment in our securities. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than does U.S. GAAP measures alone. We believe Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share assists our board of directors, management, investors, and other users of the financial statements in comparing our net income on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes certain non-cash items and other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations and reflecting income tax expense on adjusted net income before income taxes at our estimated annual effective tax rate. The Non-GAAP Measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and the Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  • The Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • The Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • The Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect our tax expense or any cash requirements to pay income taxes;
  • The Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness; and
  • The Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations, but may nonetheless have a material impact on our results of operations.

In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in our industry.

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, due to the effects of discontinued operations, as discussed above, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a continuing operations basis, for all periods presented.

We do not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a U.S. GAAP basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the U.S. GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include acquisition-related costs, litigation charges or settlements, impairment charges, and certain other unusual adjustments.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and net income from continuing operations margin (expressed as a percentage of net sales) to EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin (each expressed as a percentage of net sales) for the periods indicated:
