MarineMax Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2014 Results

CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

MarineMax, Inc. HZO, the nation's largest recreational boat retailer, today announced results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Revenue was $136.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with approximately $160.0 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales declined approximately 16%, primarily due to weather, following two consecutive March quarters of double digit percentage same-store sales growth on a year-over-year basis. The Company reported a net loss of less than $2.0 million, or $0.08 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to a net income of $344,000, or $0.01 per share, for the comparable quarter last year.

Revenue decreased 5% to $246.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared with $259.1 million for the comparable period last year. Same-store sales decreased approximately 6% as compared to a 10% increase in the comparable period last year. The Company's net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2014 was $5.3 million, or $0.22 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.17 per share, for the comparable period last year.

William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, stated “While we worked hard to overcome challenging weather conditions that impacted not only our entire industry, but many consumer facing businesses, we were pleased with our team's ability to continue to drive margin expansion despite our need to aggressively promote the business this past quarter. We believe that many of the potential sales that did not close in the second quarter, have likely been deferred to later quarters. We expect to benefit from our broad selection of brand offerings and recent brand additions, and believe that our strong balance sheet, strategically placed inventory and improving market conditions position us well for the future.”

Mr. McGill continued, “We are confident in the long term industry recovery cycle and the significant upside that exists for MarineMax. As we head into the prime boating season, we believe our team is poised to increase market share, grow margins and deliver the best possible experience to our passionate customers. We also believe we have a strong foundation in place and are well positioned to drive positive cash flow growth as consumer confidence returns.”
