MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2026 Results
VONORE, Tenn.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCFT) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2026.
Strong execution across our legacy business drove results to significantly outperform expectations. We grew net sales, expanded Adjusted EBITDA nearly 80%, and completed the transformational combination with Chaparral and Robalo.
The overview, commentary, and results provided herein relate to our continuing operations, which consists of our Performance and Wake, Leisure, and Recreation and Sport Fishing segments. Performance and Wake was formerly reported as MasterCraft, Leisure was formerly reported as Pontoon, and Recreation and Sport Fishing was established following the combination with Marine Products Corporation (“Marine Products”), as discussed below.
On May 15, 2026, the Company completed the merger with Marine Products (“Marine Products Transaction”). As a result, the Company recognized incremental net sales of $33.3 million within the Recreation and Sport Fishing segment during its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter. Results for the quarter and full year were also impacted by acquisition-related expenses associated with the Marine Products Transaction, including transaction costs and purchase accounting adjustments.
Separately, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company recorded a $10.1 million non-cash impairment charge related to the Leisure segment. Together, these items had a significant impact on reported earnings for the quarter and full year. Additional information regarding these items is provided below.
Fourth Quarter Overview:
Full Year Overview:
Brad Nelson, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Fiscal 2026 was a defining year for MasterCraft Boat Holdings. Strong execution across our legacy business drove results to significantly outperform expectations despite a challenging retail environment. We grew net sales, expanded Adjusted EBITDA nearly 80%, and completed the transformational combination with Chaparral and Robalo.”
Nelson continued, “The MasterCraft brand was at the center of that success. Strong retail performance and the successful rollout of the next-generation X-Series product family drove favorable premium mix, strengthened brand momentum, and improved profitability.”
Fourth Quarter Results
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $129.9 million, up $50.4 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in net sales was primarily due to incremental net sales of $33.3 million generated in our Recreation and Sport Fishing segment as a result of the Marine Products Transaction, increased unit volumes, increased prices, and decreased dealer incentives, partially offset by unfavorable model mix.
Gross margin percentage decreased 60 basis points during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to the prior-year period. Lower margins were primarily the result of a $2.6 million inventory step-up charge related to the Marine Products Transaction, partially offset by increased net sales, combined with effective cost controls within our Performance and Wake and Leisure segments.
Operating expenses increased $23.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to the prior-year period, due to Marine Products Transaction costs of $5.9 million, order-backlog and dealer network amortization of $2.9 million related to the transaction, incremental operating expenses within the Recreation and Sport Fishing segment, and $10.1 million of non-cash impairment charges related to intangible assets in our Leisure segment. The impairment charges reflected declines in the estimated fair value of certain intangible assets based on updated projections and other valuation inputs.
Loss from continuing operations was $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to income of $5.5 million in the prior-year period. Diluted loss from continuing operations per share was $(0.35), compared to diluted income per share of $0.33 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
Adjusted Net income was $13.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $6.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $20.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $9.5 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.8% for the fourth quarter, up from 12.0% for the prior-year period.
Fiscal 2026 Results
For fiscal 2026, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $348.9 million, up $64.7 million from fiscal 2025. The increase in net sales was primarily due to incremental net sales generated in our Recreation and Sport Fishing segment as a result of the Marine Products Transaction, increased unit volumes, increased prices, favorable model mix and option sales, and decreased dealer incentives.
Gross margin percentage increased 290 basis points during fiscal 2026, compared to the prior-year period. Higher margins were primarily the result of increased net sales, combined with effective cost controls within our Performance and Wake and Leisure segments, partially offset by a $2.6 million inventory step-up charge related to the Marine Products Transaction.
Operating expenses increased $35.3 million for the fiscal 2026, compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to Marine Products Transaction costs, order-backlog and dealer network amortization related to the transaction, incremental operating expenses within the Recreation and Sport Fishing segment, non-cash impairment charges related to intangible assets in our Leisure segment, ERP implementation costs, and increased variable compensation costs.
Loss from continuing operations was $1.6 million for fiscal 2026, compared to income of $10.7 million in the prior-year period. Diluted loss from continuing operations per share was $(0.09), compared to diluted income per share of $0.65 for fiscal 2025.
Adjusted Net income was $30.2 million for fiscal 2026, or $1.76 per diluted share, compared to $15.1 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $45.6 million for fiscal 2026, compared to $24.4 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.1% for fiscal 2026, up from 8.6% 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.
Outlook
Concluded Nelson, “What gives me confidence is that these results were earned, not market-driven. Our teams executed with discipline, remained focused on the fundamentals, and consistently delivered against our priorities. There is real energy and excitement across the organization as we enter our next chapter as a larger, more diversified company.”
In June 2026, the Company announced a change in its fiscal year-end from June 30 to December 31, effective July 1, 2026. As a result, the Company expects to file a transition report covering the six-month period from July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 (the “Transition Period”). Thereafter, the Company’s reporting periods will be based on its new December 31 fiscal year-end.
The Company’s outlook is as follows:

Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and Adjusted EBITDA margin
We define EBITDA as income (loss) 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, Marine Products Transaction costs, impairments, and inventory step-up. 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 as income (loss) 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. We define Adjusted Net Income per share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding. 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, Marine Products Transaction costs, impairments, and inventory step-up.
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 (loss), operating income (loss), 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 (loss), net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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.
The following table presents a reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations as determined in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and income (loss) from continuing operations margin to EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin (each expressed as a percentage of net sales) for the periods indicated:
