BUFORD, Ga., Feb. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OneWater Marine Inc. (NASDAQ: ONEW) ("OneWater" or the "Company") today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2022.
"Our first quarter results came in largely as we anticipated as the industry experienced a return to more normalized seasonality, with revenue growing high-single digits, on top of a 57% increase in the prior year. Notably, our high margin service, parts and other sales grew 86%, driven by strategic acquisitions over the last 18-months, strengthening our overall gross margins as expected," commented Austin Singleton, Chief Executive Officer at OneWater. "Signs are pointing to a strong selling season, with positive boat show activity and healthy demand levels, but given the considerable amount of unknowns driven by a cloudy macro-economic environment, we are lowering our full-year outlook."
"Over the past two years, OneWater has successfully executed on our growth and diversification strategy, adding 38 dealership locations and building out our parts and service platform. As the industry returns to historical seasonal cycles, we believe our flexible and diversified operating model positions us to continue to outperform the market and return value to our shareholders."

Fiscal First Quarter 2023 Results
Revenue for fiscal first quarter 2023 was $366.7 million, an increase of 9.0% compared to $336.3 million in fiscal first quarter 2022. The growth was primarily attributable to strong service, parts and other sales from acquired businesses. During fiscal first quarter 2023 same-store sales decreased 14% following a 28% and 38% increase in fiscal first quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively. We believe the decline is primarily due to the return of seasonality in the business where we realize lower sales and higher levels of inventory in the fiscal first quarter. Historically, the December 31 quarter has represented approximately 15% of our annual sales, which has been bolstered by our investments in service, parts & other sales. The timing of sales from quarter to quarter can also fluctuate based on our ability to deliver presold boats to our customers, and sales activity remains lean in areas of Florida that were heavily impacted by Hurricane Ian as customers continue to rebuild.
New boat revenue decreased 1.6%, driven by a decrease in unit sales, muted by an increase in average unit price. Pre-owned boat revenue increased 4.4% compared to the prior year quarter, driven by an increase in unit sales. Finance & insurance income decreased 4.0% compared to the prior year quarter. Service, Parts and other sales were up 86.3% compared to the prior year quarter, largely as a result of the Company's strategic focus on expanding its high margin, less cyclical revenue streams.
Gross profit totaled $110.0 million for fiscal first quarter 2023, up $9.0 million from $101.0 million for fiscal first quarter 2022. Gross profit margin of 30.0% was flat compared to the prior year period, due primarily to the shift in the volume, mix and size of boat models sold during the quarter, offset by the significant increase in higher margin service, parts & other revenue.
Fiscal first quarter 2023 selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $77.8 million, or 21.2% of revenue, compared to $59.1 million, or 17.6% of revenue, in fiscal first quarter 2022. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to higher personnel expenses related to acquisitions as well as higher marketing expenses related to the increased boat show activity during the quarter.
Net income for fiscal first quarter 2023 totaled $11.4 million, compared to $23.5 million in fiscal first quarter 2022. Earnings per diluted share for fiscal first quarter 2023 was $0.61 per diluted share, compared to $1.45 per diluted share in 2022. For fiscal first quarter 2023, interest expense increased $10.0 million compared to the prior year driven by an increase in the average outstanding borrowings and higher interest rates.
Fiscal first quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased 32.0% to $27.9 million compared to $41.0 million for first quarter 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $43.5 million and total liquidity, including cash and availability under credit facilities, was in excess of $100.0 million. Total inventory as of December 31, 2022, increased year-over-year to $527.0 million compared to $248.2 million on December 31, 2021, primarily driven by acquisitions completed during the year, the return of the traditional seasonal cycles where we build inventory in the winter months and the continued easing of industry-wide supply chain constraints.
Total long-term debt as of December 31, 2022, was $463.9 million, and adjusted long-term net debt (net of $43.5 million cash)1 was 1.8 times trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA1.
Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance
The Company's is updating its previously issued fiscal full year 2023 outlook. For fiscal full year 2023, OneWater now anticipates same store sales to be flat to up mid-single digits. Adjusted EBITDA2 is expected to be in the range of $200 million to $225 million and earnings per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $7.50 to $8.00.

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 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 guidance, to their corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to acquisition contingent consideration and transaction costs. Acquisition 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 is not available without unreasonable effort.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense - other, income tax 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, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt 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, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt 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 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.
Dealership Same-Store Sales
We define Dealership same-store sales as sales from our stores 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 stores are excluded from each comparative base period. We use Dealership same-store sales to assess the organic growth of our revenue on a same-store basis. 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.
