MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE:HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
Revenue grew 10% to $164.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 from $149.7 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales increased approximately 10% on top of a 7% increase for the comparable quarter last year. During the 2014 fourth quarter, the Company recovered $600,000, net of tax and other expenses, from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program (Deepwater) for damages it suffered as a result of the Deepwater oil spill in 2010. Also during the 2014 fourth quarter, the Company recognized a gain of $1.0 million, net of tax and other expenses, associated with the sale of a property. During the 2013 fourth quarter, the Company recovered damages of $4.7 million, net of tax and other expenses, from Deepwater. The Deepwater recoveries and the property gain are reflected as a reduction to the Company’s expenses for both periods, where applicable. Net income was $5.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to net income of $5.2 million or $0.21 per diluted share for the comparable quarter last year. Excluding the Deepwater recovery in both periods and the property gain in 2014, comparative adjusted net income was $3.6 million or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $490,000, or $0.02 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Revenue for fiscal 2014 grew 7% to $624.7 million from $584.5 million for fiscal 2013. Same-store sales improved approximately 6% in addition to an 11% increase for the previous fiscal year. During fiscal 2014 the Company recovered $600,000 from Deepwater and recognized the property gain of $1.0 million, as noted above. During fiscal 2013, the Company recovered $11.7 million, net of tax and other expenses, from Deepwater. Net income was $11.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 compared to net income of $15.0 million or $0.63 per diluted share for fiscal 2013. Excluding Deepwater in both periods and the property gain in 2014, comparative adjusted net income was $9.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share for fiscal year 2014, compared to adjusted net income of $3.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for fiscal 2013.
William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased that our team produced a strong finish to a year that had its challenges, but generally reflected improving industry conditions. Our fourth quarter results were fueled by solid same store sales growth of 10% while we maintained historically strong margins. We believe the product lines added throughout the last several years, along with our comprehensive MarineMax approach to service and the boating lifestyle, is attracting customers and helping to unlock pent-up demand.”
Mr. McGill continued, “As an industry, we are in a prolonged period of recovery and as the economic environment continues to improve, we are well-positioned to benefit as consumer sentiment improves. With a solid backlog of sales in place, and many new models from our manufacturing partners, we are poised to capture additional market share as we prepare for another boating season. From a product and inventory perspective, we have the right product to capitalize on the opportunities throughout our broad geographic regions. Our strong team, coupled with our robust balance sheet, highly desirable locations and customer centric approach focused on elevating the boating experience will help us continue to drive value and improved results."
