  • Net sales for the fourth quarter increased to $217.7 million, up 39.9% from the prior-year period.
  • Net income was $11.5 million, or $0.63 per diluted share.
  • Diluted Adjusted Net Income per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.77, up 80.6%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $44.6 million, up 65.6%.
  • Share repurchases of $4.0 million during the quarter.
  • Non-cash impairment charges of $23.8 million related to our NauticStar segment.

Full Year Highlights:

  • The most profitable fiscal year in the Company’s history.
  • Net sales increased to $707.9 million, up 34.6% from the prior-year period.
  • Net income was $58.2 million, or $3.12 per diluted share.
  • Diluted Adjusted Net Income per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $4.54, up 37.2%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $121.1 million, up 30.5%.
  • Share repurchases of $25.5 million during the fiscal year.

Fred Brightbill, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, commented, “For the second consecutive year we achieved record-setting results, introduced an array of new and innovative products across our brands, produced industry-leading organic sales growth, and gained market share, all while navigating arguably one of the most challenging business environments in recent history. These results would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our team who continue to execute against our strategic priorities.”

Brightbill continued, “We delivered record-setting performances for each quarter, which culminated in record net sales and adjusted earnings for the full year. We grew our net sales by nearly 35 percent and our diluted adjusted earnings per share by more than 37 percent year-over-year, all on an organic basis. This exceptional performance was enabled by a year-over-year unit increase of more than 14 percent for the full year, resulting in the most wholesale units ever sold by the Company.”

Fourth Quarter Results

For the fourth quarter of 2022, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $217.7 million, up $62.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased sales volumes and higher prices. Higher option and content sales and favorable model mix also contributed to higher net sales.

Gross margin increased 140 basis points to 25.3 percent in the fourth quarter 2022 from 23.9 percent in the fourth quarter 2021. The increase was mainly due to increased sales volumes and higher prices, partially offset by inflationary pressures that drove material costs higher.

Operating expenses increased $25.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to the prior-year period primarily as a result of intangible and fixed asset impairment charges of $23.8 million related to our NauticStar segment. Additionally, non-recurring third-party consulting fees were recognized at our NauticStar segment related to an effort to improve operational efficiency and increase throughput.

Net income was $11.5 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $16.5 million in the prior-year period. Diluted net income per share was $0.63, compared to $0.87 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted Net Income increased to $32.1 million for the fourth quarter, or $1.77 per diluted share, compared to $18.5 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $44.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $27.0 million in the prior-year period.   Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.5 percent for the fourth quarter, up from 17.3 percent for the prior-year period, primarily due to higher net sales.

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.

Fiscal 2022 Results

For fiscal 2022, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $707.9 million, up $182.1 million from fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased sales volume and higher prices. Higher option and content sales and favorable model mix also contributed to higher net sales.

Gross margin declined 180 basis points to 22.9 percent for fiscal 2022 from 24.7 percent in fiscal 2021. Lower margins were the result of supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, and operational challenges that drove material and overhead costs higher and were most pronounced at our NauticStar segment.

Operating expenses increased to $84.5 million for fiscal 2022, up $30.5 million compared to the prior-year period. During fiscal 2022, a $1.1 million goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the Aviara segment and $23.8 million was recorded in the NauticStar segment for impairment of other intangible assets and fixed assets. Additionally, despite our increased costs, selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales have decreased compared to the prior-year period. Selling and marketing expense increased due to timing of prior-year expenses being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. General and administrative expense increased as a result of continued investments in information technology and product development, as well as non-recurring third-party consulting fees recognized at our NauticStar segment related to an effort to improve operational efficiency and improve throughput.

Net income was $58.2 million for fiscal 2022, compared to $56.2 million in the prior-year period. Diluted net income per share was $3.12, compared to $2.96 for fiscal 2021. Adjusted Net Income increased to $84.6 million for fiscal 2022, or $4.54 per diluted share, compared to $62.8 million, or $3.31 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $121.1 million for fiscal 2022, compared to $92.8 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margins were higher year-over-year for each of our segments, except NauticStar, which was heavily impacted by supply chain disruption, inflationary pressures, and other operational challenges. The dilutive impact on margins from NauticStar more than offset the margin improvements at MasterCraft, Crest, and Aviara. As a result, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.1 percent for fiscal 2022, down from 17.6 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, the potential for a weakening economy has caused us to approach our wholesale production plan for fiscal 2023 with a prudent level of conservatism. Even so, if our business performs to the lower end of our guidance range, we will deliver the second-best year in the history of our Company in terms of both revenue and earnings. Furthermore, as we clearly demonstrated during the past two years, our highly flexible business model will allow us to adjust our production plan and generate outstanding financial results should retail demand outpace our initial expectations.”

For fiscal year 2022, the Company had consolidated net sales of $707.9 million, including $66.3 million attributable to the NauticStar segment. Beginning with our fiscal first quarter of 2023, we will report the financial results of the NauticStar segment as discontinued operations, separate from the results of our continuing operations. As such, the following outlook represents expectations for our continuing operations only.

The Company’s outlook is as follows:

  • For full year fiscal 2023, consolidated net sales are expected to be between $580 million and $615 million, with Adjusted EBITDA between $105 million and $115 million, and Adjusted Earnings per share of between $3.89 and $4.31. We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $30 million for the full year.
  • For fiscal first quarter 2023, consolidated net sales are expected to be approximately $165 million, with Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $33.5 million, and Adjusted Earnings per share of approximately $1.30.

(a) Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2022, our chief operating decision maker began to manage our business, allocate resources, and evaluate performance based on the changes that were made in the Company’s management structure in connection with the transition of Aviara production to our Merritt Island facility. As a result, the Company realigned its reportable segments to MasterCraft, Crest, NauticStar, and Aviara.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, 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 impairment charges, share-based compensation, operational improvement initiative costs, Aviara transition costs, and debt refinancing charges. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 impairment charges, income tax expense, amortization of acquisition intangibles, share-based compensation, operational improvement initiative costs, Aviara transition costs, and debt refinancing charges. 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, 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.

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.
