Highlights:

Brad Nelson, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered results that exceeded our expectations, and we are building momentum as we head into boat-shows and the spring selling season. We’re entering this window with right-sized dealer inventories and a team that continues to deliver on key initiatives – bringing leading-edge innovation to market, executing on operational and cost efficiencies, and maintaining disciplined production management.”

Second Quarter Results

For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $71.8 million, up $8.4 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in net sales was primarily due to favorable model mix and options sales, higher unit volumes, and increased prices.

Gross margin percentage increased 440 basis points during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to the prior-year period. Higher margins were primarily the result of increased net sales, as discussed above, combined with effective cost controls.

Operating expenses increased $2.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to the prior-year period, due to consulting costs related to the implementation of our new enterprise resource planning system (“ERP implementation costs”), business development and consulting costs related to the transaction noted below, and increased selling and marketing costs.

Income from continuing operations was $2.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $0.4 million in the prior-year period. Diluted income from continuing operations per share was $0.15, compared to $0.03 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Adjusted Net income was $4.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $7.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $3.5 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.4% for the second quarter, up from 5.6% for the prior-year period.

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

Combination with Marine Products Corporation

In a separate press release issued today, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement under which we will acquire Marine Products Corporation (“Marine Products”), a leading manufacturer of recreation and sport fishing powerboats, in a cash and stock transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2026.

Simultaneously, we amended and extended our credit agreement, providing the Company with a $75 million revolving credit facility that now matures on February 5, 2031.

The combination with Marine Products Corporation unites proven, market leading brands, dealer networks, and product development and manufacturing capabilities.

The discussion of these risks is specifically incorporated by reference into this press release.

Any such forward-looking statements represent management's estimates as of the date of this press release. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation (and we expressly disclaim any obligation) to update or supplement any forward-looking statements that may become untrue or cause our views to change, whether because of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Reconciliations of the Non-GAAP measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP measures for the respective periods can be found in tables immediately following the consolidated statements of operations. The Non-GAAP Measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Supplemental Operating Data

The following table presents certain supplemental operating data for the periods indicated:

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We define EBITDA as 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 adjustments include share-based compensation, Senior leadership transition and organizational realignment costs, ERP implementation costs, and Business development and consulting costs. 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 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, Senior leadership transition and organizational realignment costs, ERP implementation costs, and Business development and consulting costs.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow from continuing operations as net cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, plant, and equipment.

The Non-GAAP Measures are not measures of net income, operating income, or net cash flows as determined under GAAP. The Non-GAAP Measures are not measures of performance in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net income per share, or net operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of cash flows. 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 GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than does 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 GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

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.

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