OneWater Marine Inc. Announces Fiscal First Quarter Results
Executing on Strategic Approach for Driving Sales and Managing Inventory
Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Highlights
- Revenue increased 3% to $376 million
- Same-store sales increased 4%, including an increase in units sold
- Gross profit margin of 22.4%, impacted by exiting brands
- GAAP net loss of $14 million, or $(0.81) per diluted share and adjusted diluted loss per share1 of $(0.54)
- Adjusted EBITDA1 of $2 million
BUFORD, Ga., Jan. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OneWater Marine Inc. (NASDAQ: ONEW) (“OneWater” or the “Company”) today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2024.
“First quarter results exceeded expectations driven by higher unit sales in both new and preowned categories. Our strategic inventory management and operational execution drove outperformance against the industry, and our team did a great job working down inventory. Although these efforts pressured margins in the quarter, higher finance and insurance penetration helped offset the impact, reinforcing the durability of our business model,” commented Austin Singleton, Chief Executive Officer at OneWater.
“We remain cautiously optimistic, supported by a healthy inventory position that enables us to effectively meet customer demand. As the year progresses, we expect further benefit from our ongoing cost reduction initiatives, which continue to strengthen our financial profile.”

Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Results
Revenue for fiscal first quarter 2025 was $375.8 million, an increase of 3.2% compared to $364.0 million in fiscal first quarter 2024. Same-store sales increased 4.2%. New boat revenue increased 2.9%, driven by an increase in units sold. Pre-owned boat revenue increased 6.6%, driven by the increase in units sold and average price per unit. Finance & insurance income increased as a percentage of total boat sales, while service, parts & other sales were down 1.1% compared to the prior year quarter. Distribution segment service, parts, and other sales were lower due to reduced production by boat manufacturers.
Gross profit totaled $84.1 million for fiscal first quarter 2025, down $7.4 million from $91.4 million for fiscal first quarter 2024. Gross profit margin of 22.4% decreased 270 basis points compared to the prior year period, driven by new and pre-owned boat pricing, including the impact of select brands the Company is exiting.
Fiscal first quarter 2025 selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $79.1 million, or 21.0% of revenue, compared to $79.6 million, or 21.9% of revenue, in fiscal first quarter 2024. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was driven by cost reduction actions and higher revenues.
Net loss for fiscal first quarter 2025 totaled $(13.6) million, compared to net loss of $(8.0) million in fiscal first quarter 2024. The Company reported net loss per diluted share for fiscal first quarter 2025 of $(0.81), compared to net loss per diluted share of $(0.49) in 2024. Adjusted diluted loss per share1 for fiscal first quarter 2025 was $(0.54), compared to adjusted diluted loss per share1 of $(0.38) in 2024.
Fiscal first quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased to $1.9 million compared to $7.1 million for fiscal first quarter 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $22.7 million and total liquidity, including cash and availability under credit facilities, was in excess of $40.0 million. Total inventory as of December 31, 2024, decreased 9.9% to $636.7 million, compared to $706.8 million on December 31, 2023, primarily driven by the Company’s inventory management and the increase in same-store sales.
Total long-term debt as of December 31, 2024 was $428.3 million, and adjusted long-term net debt (net of $22.7 million cash)1 was 5.2 times trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA1.
Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance
The Company is maintaining its previously issued fiscal full year 2025 outlook. For fiscal full year 2025, OneWater anticipates revenue to be in the range of $1.7 billion to $1.85 billion and dealership same-store sales to be up low single digits.

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, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc., Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share 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 and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Diluted Share guidance, to their corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to change in fair value of contingent consideration and transaction costs. Change in fair value of 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 and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Diluted Share are not available without unreasonable effort.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense – other, income tax (benefit) 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, restructuring and impairment, stock-based compensation 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, income tax (benefit) expense, restructuring and impairment, stock-based compensation 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 Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share
We define Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. as Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. before transaction costs, intangible amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring and impairment and other expense (income), all of which are then adjusted for an allocation to the non-controlling interest of OneWater Marine Holdings, LLC. Each of these adjustments are subsequently adjusted for income tax at an estimated effective tax rate. Management also reports Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share which presents all of the adjustments to Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. noted above on a per share basis. See reconciliation above.
Our board of directors, management team and lenders use Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share 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 unusual or one time charges and other items (such as the change in fair value of contingent consideration, intangible amortization, restructuring and impairment, transaction costs and other expense (income)) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present these metrics because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to OneWater Marine Inc. and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures 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.
Same-Store Sales
We define same-store sales as sales from our Dealership segment, 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 or sold stores are excluded from each comparative base period. We use same-store sales to assess the organic growth of our Dealership segment revenue. 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.

This press release and statements made during the above referenced conference call may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, prospects, plans and objectives of management, growth rate and its expectations regarding future revenue, operating income or loss or earnings or loss per share.

More information on these risks and other potential factors that could affect our financial results is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 and in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which is on file with the SEC and available from OneWater Marine’s website at under the “Investors” tab, and in other documents OneWater Marine files with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date as of which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.
