OneWater Marine Inc. Announces Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Results

OneWater Marine Inc. (NASDAQ: ONEW) (“OneWater” or the “Company”) today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Solid third quarter results reflected the benefits of the actions we have taken over the past year to strengthen the business,” said Austin Singleton, Executive Chairman of OneWater. “Despite a measured retail environment, we expanded margins, reduced leverage, and continued to maintain disciplined inventory levels. Importantly, we achieved our balance sheet leverage target for the fiscal year ahead of schedule. With structural improvements to the business and enhanced financial flexibility, we believe we are well positioned to deliver outsized growth as industry conditions improve.”

Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Results

Revenue for fiscal third quarter 2026 was $530.7 million, a decrease of 4.0% compared to $552.9 million in fiscal third quarter 2025. Same-store sales were down 2%. New boat revenue decreased 1.9%, driven by lower unit volumes, partially offset by higher average price per unit. The decline in new boat revenue was primarily attributable to the impact of strategic brand exits completed during the prior year; excluding those brands, new boat sales increased year over year. Pre-owned boat revenue decreased 3.9%, reflecting a challenging comparison against a strong prior year period which saw 18% growth. Finance & insurance income decreased 2.7%, and service, parts & other sales were down 12.8% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting the impact of the OBCI divestiture. Excluding the impact of the divestiture, underlying service, parts & other sales increased year over year.

Gross profit totaled $127.5 million for fiscal third quarter 2026, down $1.2 million from $128.7 million for fiscal third quarter 2025. Gross profit margin increased 70 basis points to 24.0%, driven by favorable product mix and the execution of strategic priorities to enhance boat gross profit.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal third quarter 2026 were $87.2 million, or 16.4% of revenue, compared to $92.1 million, or 16.7% of revenue, in fiscal third quarter 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 5.3%, reflecting the impact of prior cost reduction actions and ongoing expense management. Selling, general and administrative expenses were modestly improved over the prior year period as a percentage of revenue.

Net income for fiscal third quarter 2026 totaled $11.7 million, compared to net income of $10.7 million in fiscal third quarter 2025. The increase in net income was primarily driven by higher income from operations and lower interest expenses. Net earnings per diluted share for fiscal third quarter 2026 was $0.69 compared to $0.65 in fiscal third quarter 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ for fiscal third quarter 2026 was $0.73, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ of $0.79 in fiscal third quarter 2025.

Fiscal third quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA¹ totaled $37.8 million compared to $32.8 million for fiscal third quarter 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $68.7 million and total liquidity, including cash and availability under credit facilities, was $73.3 million. Total inventory as of June 30, 2026, decreased to $485.5 million, compared to $517.1 million on June 30, 2025, primarily reflecting disciplined inventory management and the sale of OBCI. Total long-term debt as of June 30, 2026, was $348.1 million, and adjusted long-term net debt¹ (net of $68.7 million cash) was 3.7 times trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA¹ , compared to 5.8x trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA¹ in fiscal third quarter 2025. The Company achieved its fiscal 2026 leverage target of below 4.0x net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ahead of schedule, reflecting continued progress in strengthening the balance sheet and enhancing financial flexibility.

Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance

The Company is updating its previously issued fiscal full year 2026 outlook. For fiscal full-year 2026, OneWater anticipates the industry to be down high-single digits year over year based on recent industry trends. When factoring in the lost revenue from exited brands, the divestiture of OBCI, and industry retail performance, the Company expects dealership same-store sales to be down low to mid-single digits year over year and total revenue to be in the range of $1.75 billion to $1.80 billion. Adjusted EBITDA² is expected to be in the range of $68 million to $78 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share² is expected to be in the range of $0.35 to $0.55. The revised outlook reflects year-to-date results, while maintaining a cautiously optimistic view of fourth quarter demand trends amid continued macroeconomic uncertainty.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

This press release and our related earnings call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc., Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted Long-Term Net Debt, as measures of our operating performance. Management believes these measures may be useful in performing meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results, to understand the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and how management views the business. Reconciliations of reported GAAP measures to adjusted non-GAAP measures are included in the financial schedules contained in this press release. These measures, however, should not be construed as an alternative to any other measure of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Because our non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies, our definition of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. We have not reconciled non-GAAP forward-looking measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share guidance, to their corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to change in fair value of contingent consideration and transaction costs. Change in fair value of contingent consideration and transaction costs are affected by the acquisition, integration and post-acquisition performance of our acquirees which is difficult to predict and subject to change. Accordingly, reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not available without unreasonable effort.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense – other, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization and other (income) expense, further adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as the change in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring and impairment, stock-based compensation and transaction costs. See reconciliation above.

Our board of directors, management team and lenders use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other items (such as the change in fair value of contingent consideration, income tax (benefit) expense, restructuring and impairment, stock-based compensation and transaction costs) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will provide useful information to investors and analysts in assessing our financial performance and results of operations across reporting periods by excluding items we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share

We define Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. as Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. before transaction costs, intangible amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring and impairment and other expense (income), all of which are then adjusted for an allocation to the non-controlling interest of OneWater Marine Holdings, LLC. Each of these adjustments are subsequently adjusted for income tax at an estimated effective tax rate. Management also reports Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share which presents all of the adjustments to Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. noted above on a per share basis. See reconciliation above.

Our board of directors, management team and lenders use Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of unusual or one time charges and other items (such as the change in fair value of contingent consideration, intangible amortization, restructuring and impairment, transaction costs and other expense (income)) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present these metrics because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors and analysts in assessing our financial performance and results of operations across reporting periods by excluding items we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Adjusted Long-Term Net Debt

We define Adjusted Long-Term Net Debt as long-term debt (including current portion) less cash. We consider, and we believe certain investors and analysts consider, adjusted long-term net debt, as well as adjusted long-term net debt divided by trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA, to be an indicator of our financial leverage.

Same-Store Sales

We define same-store sales as sales from our Dealership segment, excluding new and acquired stores. New and acquired stores become eligible for inclusion in the comparable store base at the end of the store’s thirteenth month of operations under our ownership and revenues are only included for identical months in the same-store base periods. Stores relocated within an existing market remain in the comparable store base for all periods. Additionally, amounts related to closed or sold stores are excluded from each comparative base period. We use same-store sales to assess the organic growth of our Dealership segment revenue. We believe that our assessment on a same-store basis represents an important indicator of comparative financial results and provides relevant information to assess our performance.
