Company Welcomes Crest; Delivers Record Quarterly Net Sales and Net Income
VONORE, Tenn., Feb. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCFT) (the “Company” or “MasterCraft Boat Holdings”), a leading innovator, designer, manufacturer and marketer of premium recreational powerboats through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, MasterCraft Boat Company, LLC (“MasterCraft”), NauticStar, LLC (“NauticStar”), and Crest Marine LLC (“Crest”), today announced financial results for its fiscal 2019 second quarter ended December 30, 2018.
Highlights:
- Fiscal second quarter results include the financial results from the Crest acquisition that closed on October 1, 2018.
- Net sales for the second quarter increased to $121.5 million, up 55.0 percent from $78.4 million in the prior-year period.
- Second quarter gross profit rose to $27.1 million, up 35.8 percent from $19.9 million in the prior-year period.
- Net income totaled $10.2 million for the fiscal 2019 second quarter, a gain of $2.2 million, or 27.2 percent, from the prior-year period.
- Diluted earnings per share increased in the fiscal 2019 second quarter by $0.11, up 25.6 percent, to $0.54, from the prior-year period.
- Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, grew 35.6 percent to $18.6 million from $13.7 million in the prior-year period.
- Fully diluted Adjusted Net Income per share, a non-GAAP measure, grew $0.20 in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, a 45.5 percent increase, to $0.64, up from $0.44 in the prior-year period.
- Year-to-date the company made debt payments of $8.7 million, enabled by its strong cash generation.
Terry McNew, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am extremely pleased by the hard work and determination our employees have shown over this fiscal second quarter, which is reflected in our record levels of net sales, gross profit, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA. We’ve been able to execute at a high level while integrating Crest into our organization, implementing significant product development and manufacturing changes at NauticStar, and finalizing preparations for the launch of our exciting new brand, Aviara, while driving adjusted earnings per share growth of 45.5 percent year-over-year. We continue to see strong retail and wholesale momentum in our core MasterCraft brand, and are starting to see the benefits of the manufacturing changes implemented at NauticStar, which are reflected in the 430 basis point gross margin improvement at the brand versus our fiscal first quarter. In addition, our acquisition of Crest has exceeded our expectations, with Crest delivering net sales and profitability levels ahead of our estimates.”
McNew continued, “Throughout our fiscal second quarter, we continued to see year-over-year increases in retail demand for our products and our dealer inventory turns remained at healthy seasonal levels. With the official launch of our Aviara brand at the 2019 Miami Boat Show in February, we will now have brands focused on four of the fastest growing segments of the overall powerboat industry – performance sport boats, outboard saltwater fishing boats, pontoon boats and luxury day boats. We are especially excited to announce that we have united with MarineMax, the nation’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer, to be our distribution partner for Aviara.”
“As we look to wrap up the second half of our fiscal year, our focus will be on continuing to leverage our industry-leading strengths in operational excellence and financial management to further improve output, quality, margins and cash flow across all of our brands, as we continue our rapid growth.”
Second-Quarter Results
Total net sales for the fiscal second quarter were $121.5 million, reflecting an increase of $43.1 million, or 55.0 percent, compared to $78.4 million for the prior-year period. The Crest acquisition added $25.9 million of net sales in the second quarter. MasterCraft’s net sales increased 31.2 percent, or $18.2 million, driven by a favorable product mix, price increases and a 32.3 percent increase in unit volume, partially due to an extra week of production in the fiscal second quarter given the timing of the planned holiday shutdown compared to prior year. This increase in net sales was partially mitigated by increased retail rebate expense due to the timing impact from the new revenue recognition standard, as well as by higher sales discounts given to Canadian and European dealers impacted by the retaliatory import tariffs.
Said McNew, “We made the strategic decision to partially offset the import tariff for our Canadian and European dealers, which we believe provided us with a competitive advantage.”
NauticStar’s net sales decreased 5.0 percent, or $1.0 million, due to lower wholesale units driven by a scheduled pullback in production as NauticStar’s facility is retrofitted to handle new, larger boat models being introduced throughout calendar year 2019, offset by an increase in average selling price driven by a favorable model mix and price increases.
Fiscal second quarter gross profit increased $7.1 million, or 35.8 percent, to $27.1 million compared to $19.9 million for the prior-year period. The inclusion of Crest accounted for $4.5 million of the increase, while MasterCraft contributed $3.2 million to the increase in gross profit. NauticStar’s gross profit declined $0.5 million. On a consolidated basis, gross margin decreased to 22.3 percent for the fiscal second quarter compared to 25.4 percent for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to the dilutive effect from the inclusion of Crest, higher warranty costs, the planned decline in NauticStar net sales, and higher retail sales incentives due to the timing impact from the new revenue recognition standard and the company’s strategic decision to offset a portion of the retaliatory import tariffs impacting Canadian and European dealers. The decrease was partially offset by growth in MasterCraft unit sales volume, and favorable product mix and price increases at both MasterCraft and NauticStar.
Operating expenses for the fiscal second quarter increased $2.7 million, or 31.6 percent, to $11.4 million compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended December 30, 2017. This increase was mainly due to the inclusion of Crest, an increase in compensation costs from added headcount to support growth initiatives, and start-up costs associated with the company’s new Aviara brand, offset by MasterCraft’s annual dealer meeting falling in the fiscal 2019 first quarter compared to the fiscal second quarter in the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased during the fiscal second quarter compared to the prior-year period, to 9.4 percent of net sales from 11.0 percent of net sales, respectively.
Second quarter net income totaled $10.2 million, versus $8.0 million for the year-earlier period driven by the inclusion of Crest, continued strong net sales momentum at MasterCraft, and reduced tax rates from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Adjusted Net Income of $12.1 million, or $0.64 per share, on a fully diluted, weighted average share count of 18.9 million shares, was computed using the company’s estimated annual effective tax rate of approximately 22.5 percent versus 29.0 percent in the prior period. This compares to Adjusted Net Income of $8.2 million, or $0.44 per fully diluted share, in the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $18.6 million for the fiscal second quarter, compared to $13.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.3 percent, down from 17.5 percent in the fiscal 2018 second quarter.
See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
Fiscal 2019 Outlook
“With the first half of our fiscal 2019 completed, we continue to expect strong top-line and bottom-line growth, along with record-levels of cash flow generation. These will be driven by the Crest acquisition, continued strong demand for our core MasterCraft products, healthy dealer inventory across all our segments, product development initiatives at NauticStar, and the realization of operational improvement initiatives at NauticStar and Crest,” concluded McNew.
On a top-line basis, the company expects low 40 percent net sales growth over fiscal 2018, driven by a higher contribution from the Crest acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA margins are expected to be in the mid-to-high 16 percent range, principally driven by higher net sales contribution from Crest, which is dilutive to margins. Adjusted earnings per share growth is expected to be in the low 30 percent range. This guidance is adjusted for non-GAAP measures, including acquisition-related expenses, acquisition-related intangible amortization and a 22.5 percent estimated annual effective tax rate (see “Non-GAAP Measures” below for more detail).
For the third fiscal quarter ending in March, year-over-year net sales growth is expected to be in the low 30 percent range, reflecting lower growth at MasterCraft compared to fiscal second quarter due to one less production week given the timing of the fiscal 2019 planned holiday shutdown compared to fiscal 2018, partially offset by a higher net sales contribution from Crest. Adjusted EBITDA margins will be in the 16 percent range driven by the dilutive effect of Crest. Adjusted EPS percentage growth is expected to be in the high teens percent range.

Non-GAAP Measures
We define EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges and unusual items that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operations, including acquisition related expenses associated with the acquisitions of NauticStar and Crest, our stock-based compensation expense, and start-up costs for our new Aviara brand. We define Adjusted net income as net income adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges and unusual items that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operations, such as acquisition expenses associated with the acquisitions of NauticStar and Crest (including intangible amortization associated with the acquisitions, including prior year acquisitions), our stock-based compensation expense, start-up costs for our new Aviara brand and an adjustment for income tax expense at a normalized annual effective tax rate. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of net income or operating income as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which we refer to as GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are not measures of performance in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of cash flow for management’s discretionary use. We believe that the inclusion of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted net income is appropriate to provide additional information to investors because securities analysts, noteholders and other investors use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess our operating performance across periods on a consistent basis and to evaluate the relative risk of an investment in our securities. We use Adjusted 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 alone measures. We believe Adjusted 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 and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or any cash requirements to pay income taxes;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness; and
- Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operations, but may nonetheless have a material impact on our results of operations.
In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in our industry.
Furthermore, certain non-GAAP financial measures presented have been provided for comparison purposes only and these non-GAAP financial measures may change in the future based on our calculations and forecasts regarding the interpretation of certain recent changes to U.S. federal income tax law and anticipated impacts on our financial results.
