"Fiscal year 2019 was another exceptional year for Malibu. We delivered record-breaking operational and financial performance supported by the strength of our brands, our commitment to operational excellence, and a best-in-class team laser-focused on superior execution. For the year, we delivered a 38% increase in net sales, with adjusted net income rising 46% to $82 million, or $3.76 per share," commented Jack Springer, Chief Executive Officer of Malibu Boats, Inc. "Pursuit and Cobalt, together with our Malibu and Axis brands, have created a well-rounded, premium portfolio that brings to market a line-up of innovative boats that are resonating with customers. In fact, we recently announced the release of three new products - the Axis A20, which exemplifies performance and value in an entry level small package; the Malibu 20 VTX, the ultimate triathlete that excels for skiing, wakeboarding and wakesurfing; and the Malibu Wakesetter 23 MXZ, which is the perfect mix of luxury and watersports performance."

"Our vertical integration initiatives are also progressing on target, as our Malibu Monsoon engines are now completely integrated into 100% of our Malibu and Axis boats and the beginning of FY2020 saw us unveil our own flooring for all Malibu and Axis boats. While certainly not as large of scale as the Malibu Monsoon engine, the profitability profile of our new flooring vertical integration initiative is as strong, or stronger, than our other vertical integration initiatives over the years. In addition, we expect to finalize our expansion of Cobalt by the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, and are progressing nicely with the capacity expansion initiative at Pursuit," Mr. Springer continued.

"Maximizing the customer experience, coupled with our operational prowess has allowed us to consistently deliver strong results despite recent choppiness in the marine market. While we remain incredibly well-positioned in the industry, we are cognizant of the rising uncertainty around the broader macroenvironment. That said, we believe our inventory levels remain at adequate levels and our variable cost structure allows us to be nimble should things materially change," concluded Mr. Springer. "As we look to fiscal year 2020, while we are being prudent, we are investing in the areas that have driven our success across our brands - new products, innovation, vertical integration and performance optimization. We remain incredibly confident in the opportunities ahead of us and look forward to delivering long-term value for our shareholders."

Unit volume for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased 284 units, or 16.6%, to 1,992 units compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

The increase in net sales and unit volume for Malibu U.S. was driven primarily by strong demand for new models and optional features, which led to a higher net sales per unit for Malibu and Axis models. Net sales was also impacted by year-over-year price increases on all of our Malibu and Axis models.

Net sales from our Cobalt segment increased $2.3 million, or 4.3%, to $56.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Net sales per unit for our Malibu U.S. segment increased 6.9% to $85,066 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, driven by strong demand for new models and optional features and year-over-year price increases. Net sales per unit for our Cobalt segment increased 4.7% to $88,758 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, driven by a favorable mix of R series models which have a higher average selling price as well as year-over-year price increases. Net sales per unit for Pursuit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $239,618.

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $42.0 million, or 39.9%, to $147.1 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in cost of sales was driven primarily by incremental costs contributed by Pursuit since its acquisition in October 2018 and an increase in unit volumes at our Malibu U.S. business.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $14.2 million, or 42.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in gross profit was due mainly to higher unit volumes attributable to our acquisition of Pursuit and higher unit volumes in the businesses mentioned above. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased 30 basis points from 24.2% to 24.5% over the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to our gross margins increasing for our comparable businesses primarily as a result of our operational efficiency initiatives.

Amortization expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 increased $0.3 million, or 21.6%, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, due to additional amortization from intangible assets acquired as a result of the Pursuit acquisition.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 increased to $29.9 million from $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 increased 53.5% to $20.5 million from $13.3 million and net income margin increased to 10.5% from 9.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Unit volume for fiscal year 2019 increased 1,070 units, or 17.0%, to 7,362 units compared to fiscal year 2018.

Unit volumes attributable to our Malibu U.S. segment increased 456 units for fiscal year 2019 compared to fiscal year 2018. The increase in net sales and unit volume for Malibu U.S. was driven primarily by strong demand for new models and optional features, which led to a higher net sales per unit for Malibu and Axis models.

Cost of sales for fiscal year 2019 increased $141.1 million, or 37.5%, to $517.7 million compared to fiscal year 2018.

Gross profit for fiscal year 2019 increased $45.9 million, or 38.2%, compared to fiscal year 2018. The increase in gross profit was due mainly to higher unit volumes in the businesses mentioned above. Gross margin increased 10 basis points from 24.2% in fiscal 2018 to 24.3% in fiscal year 2019 due to our gross margins increasing for our comparable businesses primarily as a result of our operational efficiency initiatives offset by $0.9 million of additional expense related to the fair value step up of Pursuit inventory acquired and sold during the period.

As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased 20 basis points to 6.5% for fiscal year 2019 compared to 6.3% for fiscal year 2018. Amortization expense for fiscal year 2019 increased $0.8 million, or 14.6%, compared to fiscal year 2018, due to additional amortization from intangible assets acquired as a result of the Pursuit acquisition.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Forward-looking statements can be identified by such words and phrases as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "estimates," "may," "will," "should," "continue" and similar expressions, comparable terminology or the negative thereof, and includes statements in this press release regarding the expected benefits of our engine and flooring vertical integration initiatives; the anticipated timing of our expansion of our Cobalt facilities; the adequacy of our inventory levels; our outlook on opportunities ahead; and our ability to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: general industry, economic and business conditions; our ability to grow our business through acquisitions and integrate such acquisitions to fully realize their expected benefits; our reliance on our network of independent dealers and increasing competition for dealers; our large fixed cost base; intense competition within our industry; increased consumer preference for used boats or the supply of new boats by competitors in excess of demand; the successful introduction of new products; our ability to execute our manufacturing strategy successfully; the success of our engines integration strategy; and other factors affecting us detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these risks and uncertainties are outside our control, and there may be other risks and uncertainties which we do not currently anticipate because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation (and we expressly disclaim any obligation) to update or supplement any forward-looking statements that may become untrue because of subsequent events, whether because of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise. Comparison of results for current and prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income and Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income per Share. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should also not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash, non-recurring or non-operating expenses, including certain professional fees, litigation related expenses, acquisition and integration related expenses, non-cash compensation expense, expenses related to our engine development initiative and adjustments to our tax receivable agreement liability. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of net income as determined by GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allow investors to evaluate our operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of core operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assist in highlighting trends in our operating results without regard to our financing methods, capital structures, and non-recurring or non-operating expenses. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, the methods by which assets were acquired and other factors.

Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets.

We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income as net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. (i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, (iii) assuming the exchange of all LLC units into shares of Class A Common Stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC (the "LLC"), and (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on fully distributed net income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate. Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure because it represents net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc., before non-recurring or non-cash items and the effects of non-controlling interests in the LLC. We use Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income 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 GAAP measures alone. We believe Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income assists our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net income on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes non-cash or non-recurring items, and eliminates the variability of non-controlling interest as a result of member owner exchanges of LLC units into shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, because Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is susceptible to varying calculations, the Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income measures, as presented in this release, may differ from and may, therefore, not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and the numerator and denominator for our net income available to Class A Common Stock per share to Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income per share of Class A Common Stock is provided under "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

(1)Provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and fiscal year 2019 and 2018 reflects the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act") adopted in December 2017, which among other items, lowered the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. For fiscal year 2018, we recorded an increase to income tax expense of $44.5 million for the remeasurement of deferred taxes on the enactment date of the Tax Act and the deferred tax impact related to the reduction in the tax receivable agreement liability. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a decrease in our state deferred tax expense as a result of our estimated state tax rate for our tax receivable agreement liability.
(2)For the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, represents legal and advisory fees related to our litigation with Skier's Choice, Inc. For fiscal year 2018, represents legal and advisory fees related to our litigation with MasterCraft Boat Company, LLC ("MasterCraft") offset by the settlement received from them in connection with the Mastercraft Settlement and License Agreement entered into on May 2, 2017.
(3)For the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, represents integration costs and legal, professional and advisory fees incurred in connection with our acquisition of Pursuit on October 15, 2018. For the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, represents integration costs and legal, professional and advisory fees incurred in connection with our acquisition of Pursuit and our acquisition of Cobalt on July 6, 2017. Integration related expenses for fiscal year 2019 include post-acquisition adjustments to cost of goods sold of $0.9 million for the fair value step up of Pursuit inventory acquired, most of which was sold during the second quarter of fiscal year 2019. Integration related expenses for fiscal year 2018 include post-acquisition adjustments to cost of goods sold of $1.5 million for the fair value step up of Cobalt inventory acquired, most of which was sold during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.
(4)Represents equity-based incentives awarded to certain of our employees under the Malibu Boats, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan and profit interests issued under the previously existing limited liability company agreement of the LLC.
(5)Represents costs incurred in connection with our vertical integration of engines including product development costs and supplier transition performance incentives.
(6)For fiscal year 2019, we recognized other income from an adjustment in our tax receivable agreement liability as a result of a decrease in the estimated tax rate used in computing our future tax obligations and in turn, a decrease in the future tax benefit we expect to pay under our tax receivable agreement with pre-IPO owners. The rate decrease was mainly offset by an increase to other expense for tax receivable agreement liability derived by future tax benefits from Tennessee net operating losses at Malibu Boats Inc. for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For fiscal year 2018, we recognized other income as a result of a decrease in our estimated tax receivable agreement liability. The reduction in our tax receivable agreement liability resulted from the adoption of the Tax Act, which decreased the estimated tax rate used in computing our future tax obligations and, in turn, decreased the future tax benefit we expect to realize related to increased tax basis from previous sales and exchanges of LLC Units by our pre-IPO owners. This was offset by other expense as a result of an increase in our estimated state tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
