MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. Reports Record Results for Fiscal 2023 Second Quarter

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

Highlights:

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

  • Net sales, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and Adjusted EBITDA were all the highest for any second quarter in the Company's history
  • Ninth consecutive year-over-year record-setting quarter
  • Record net sales for the second quarter increased to $159.2 million, up 10.2% from the prior-year period
  • Record net income from continuing operations was $20.0 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, up 11.9% and 19.1%, respectively, from the prior-year period
  • Record Diluted Adjusted Net Income per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.20, up 18.8% from the prior-year period
  • Record Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $29.8 million, up 9.8% from the prior-year period
  • Share repurchases of $4.8 million during the quarter
  • Record operating cash flow, driven by record earnings and diligent working capital management

Fred Brightbill, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, commented, “Our business has performed extremely well through the first half of fiscal 2023, delivering record financial results which have exceeded expectations. Our diligent approach to business planning and our best-in-class operating model have allowed us to operate efficiently and have provided us with the confidence and agility to respond to a range of potential retail demand scenarios. Our robust portfolio of innovative products, healthy dealer inventory levels, and our flexible production capabilities position us well to capitalize on the boat show and summer selling seasons.”

Brightbill continued, “Net sales, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and Adjusted EBITDA were all the highest for any second quarter in the Company’s history, and it is our ninth consecutive year-over-year record-setting quarter. Strong operating results and diligent working capital management also allowed us to generate the most cash flow from operations and free cash flow in the Company’s history. This exceptional operational and financial performance was enabled by our strategic focus on the consumer, and through investments in people and operations.”

Second Quarter Results

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

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $159.2 million, up $14.8 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The net sales increase reflects higher prices, partially offset by decreased sales volume and increased dealer incentives. Dealer incentives include higher floor plan financing costs and other incentives as dealer inventories recover.

Gross profit increased $1.9 million and gross profit margin decreased 120 basis points to 24.0 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 25.2 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The decreased margin was mainly due to higher costs from inflationary pressures, changes in model mix, higher dealer incentives, and increased warranty costs, partially offset by higher prices and improved production efficiencies.

Operating expenses decreased $1.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to the prior-year period primarily as a result of decreased variable compensation costs.

Net income from continuing operations was $20.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $17.9 million in the prior-year period. Diluted net income from continuing operations per share was $1.12, compared to $0.94 for the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted Net Income increased to $21.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, or $1.20 per diluted share, compared to $19.2 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $29.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $27.2 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.7 percent for the second quarter, down from 18.8 percent for 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, “Looking forward, we are raising our guidance for the full year based on our strong performance and incremental retail demand visibility. We will continue to monitor the strength of retail demand and adjust our production plans as appropriate to maintain healthy dealer inventories. Our guidance continues to reflect the potential for a range of retail demand scenarios as we approach the all-important summer selling season.”

The Company’s outlook is as follows:

  • For full year fiscal 2023, consolidated net sales is now expected to be between $620 million and $640 million, with Adjusted EBITDA between $111 million and $118 million, and Adjusted Earnings per share of between $4.40 and $4.66. We continue to expect capital expenditures to be approximately $30 million for the full year.
  • For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, consolidated net sales is expected to be approximately $158 million, with Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $26 million, and Adjusted Earnings per share of approximately $1.04.

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, these adjustments include share-based compensation and goodwill impairment. 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, share-based compensation, and goodwill impairment.

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 to EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin (each expressed as a percentage of net sales) for the periods indicated:
