MarineMax reported fiscal 2026 third quarter revenue of $611.3 million, a 7.0% decline from the prior year, driven by a 7% drop in same-store sales amid a challenging marine retail environment. Despite the revenue decline, the company achieved a net income of $15.4 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, a significant turnaround from the net loss of $52.1 million, or $2.42 per share, reported in the same period last year. The prior-year quarter included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $69.1 million.
Gross profit increased 9.2% to $218.1 million, with gross margin expanding 530 basis points to 35.7%. This expansion was driven by improved new and used boat margins, a favorable business mix, and growth in higher-margin businesses such as superyacht services and marinas. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $51.3 million from $35.5 million in the prior-year period.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled $180.9 million, up from $172.1 million, while interest expense declined to $14.3 million from $16.9 million, reflecting lower inventory levels and reduced borrowing costs. The company’s balance sheet strengthened, with cash and cash equivalents totaling $174.8 million and inventories decreasing by $118 million year-over-year to $788.6 million.
MarineMax completed the refinancing of $1.49 billion in aggregate senior secured credit facilities, extending maturities to 2031, expanding the revolving credit facility, and lowering borrowing costs. Based on current business conditions, the company reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 guidance, projecting Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $110 million to $125 million and adjusted net income per diluted share between $0.40 and $0.95.
