Fiscal First Quarter 2022 Results

Revenue for fiscal first quarter 2022 was $336.3 million, an increase of 57.1% compared to $214.1 million in fiscal first quarter 2021 due primarily to our increase in same-store sales and revenue from acquired businesses. During fiscal first quarter 2022 same-store sales increased 28%, following a 38% increase in first quarter 2021, as a result of the strong demand environment. New and pre-owned boat revenue increased 55.6% and 38.5%, respectively, due to the acquired businesses and a significant increase in average unit price of new and pre-owned boats and a modest increase in units sold. Finance & insurance income was up 56.1% compared to the prior year and service, parts and other sales was up 110.7% as a result of the Company’s strategic focus on expanding the high margin, less cyclical service, parts & other revenues.


 
 
Gross profit totaled $101.0 million for fiscal first quarter 2022, up $48.5 million from $52.4 million for fiscal first quarter 2021. Gross profit margin of 30.0% increased 550 basis points compared to the prior year driven by the shift in the mix and size of boats sold, dynamic pricing, and the sharp increase in high margin service, parts & other sales during the quarter.
 
Fiscal first quarter 2022 selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $59.1 million, or 17.6% of revenue, compared to $34.9 million, or 16.3% of revenue, in fiscal first quarter 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was due mainly to higher variable personnel costs driven by the increased level of profitability.

Net income for fiscal first quarter 2022 totaled $23.5 million, compared to $11.8 million in fiscal first quarter 2021. The significant increase was primarily due to the heightened level of gross profit for the period and significant increase in service, parts, and other income.

Earnings per diluted share for fiscal first quarter 2022 was $1.45 per diluted share, compared to $0.71 per diluted share in 2021. For both periods, charges related to transaction costs and contingent consideration adversely impacted diluted earnings per share. These amounts, tax effected at 25%, were $0.41 per share in first fiscal quarter 2022 and $0.03 per share in first fiscal quarter 2021.

Fiscal first quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA increased 146% to $41.0 million, compared to $16.7 million for fiscal first quarter 2021 (see reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures).

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $67.9 million, an increase of $42.0 million compared to $26.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Total inventory as of December 31, 2021, increased sequentially to $248.2 million compared to $143.9 million on September 30, 2021. As expected, the Company was able to start building inventory levels following a robust summer selling season, supported by acquisition synergies. Total long-term debt as of December 31, 2021, was $346.4 million, and long-term debt (net of $67.9 million cash) is 1.5 times trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA. The increase in long-term debt was related to acquisition financing for T-H Marine and Quality Boats.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the fiscal first quarter end, the Company announced the acquisition of JIF Marine, a provider of stainless steel ladders and docking products. This acquisition further diversifies and expands the Company’s service, parts and other revenue stream.

Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance

The Company is raising its fiscal full year 2022 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA1 to be in the range of $210 million to $220 million and earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $8.00 to $8.40, both of which includes the previously completed acquisitions and the recently announced acquisition of JIF Marine but excludes any other acquisitions that may be completed during the year. For the fiscal year 2022, OneWater maintains its anticipation that same store sales to be up high-single digits, despite an expected challenging inventory environment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

This press release and our related earnings call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance. Management believes these measures may be useful in performing meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results, to understand the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and how management views the business. Reconciliations of reported GAAP measures to adjusted non-GAAP measures are included in the financial schedules contained in this press release. These measures, however, should not be construed as an alternative to any other measure of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Because our non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies, our definition of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. We have not reconciled nonGAAP forward-looking measures, including Adjusted EBITDA guidance, to their corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to acquisition contingent consideration and transaction costs. Acquisition contingent consideration and transaction costs are affected by the acquisition, integration and post-acquisition performance of our acquirees which is difficult to predict and subject to change. Accordingly, reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA is not available without unreasonable effort.
 

 
 
Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense – other, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and other (income) expense, further adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as the gain (loss) on contingent consideration, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs. See reconciliation above.

Our board of directors, management team and lenders use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other items (such as the gain or loss on contingent consideration, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will provide useful information to investors and analysts in assessing our financial performance and results of operations across reporting periods by excluding items we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Same-Store Sales

We define same-store sales as sales from our stores excluding new and acquired stores. New and acquired stores become eligible for inclusion in the comparable store base at the end of the store’s thirteenth month of operations under our ownership and revenues are only included for identical months in the same-store base periods. Stores relocated within an existing market remain in the comparable store base for all periods. Additionally, amounts related to closed stores are excluded from each comparative base period. We use same-store sales to assess the organic growth of our revenue on a same-store basis.  We believe that our assessment on a same-store basis represents an important indicator of comparative financial results and provides relevant information to assess our performance.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
 
This press release and statements made during the above referenced conference call may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, prospects, plans and objectives of management, growth rate and its expectations regarding future revenue, operating income or loss or earnings or loss per share. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “will be,” “will likely result,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “would,” “foresees,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “outlook” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, but are based on management's current expectations, assumptions and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our expectations expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements may not turn out to be correct.
 

 
 
Important factors, some of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical results or those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include the following: effects of industry wide supply chain challenges and our ability to maintain adequate inventory, changes in demand for our products and services, the seasonality and volatility of the boat industry, our acquisition and business strategies, the inability to comply with the financial and other covenants and metrics in our credit facilities, cash flow and access to capital, effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental actions or restrictions on the Company’s business, risks related to the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of any proposed acquisitions, including the risk that proposed acquisitions will not be integrated successfully, the timing of development expenditures, and other risks. More information on these risks and other potential factors that could affect our financial results is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which is on file with the SEC and available from OneWater Marine’s website at www.onewatermarine.com under the “Investors” tab, and in other documents OneWater Marine files with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date as of which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.
